Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 285: The Stiff Tea Party (Part 1)

After the Crystal Palace incident, Conan had a rare period of peace, but it would soon be troubled again.

On this day, Eri Kisaki was hospitalized for surgery due to acute appendicitis. During this period, Xiaolan made many phone calls and sent many text messages to Kogoro Mouri, but received no response.

Because Kogoro Mouri was addicted to playing marbles, he turned off his cell phone. By the time he learned the news and rushed to the hospital, the operation was already over.

Originally, Maori Kogoro wanted to lie to his wife and daughter, saying that he was working, to save his image, but Conan's reasoning ruthlessly exposed his lies. In particular, a small steel ball stuck in his shoe was irrefutable evidence.

A well-shaped figure appeared above Kisaki Eri's head. "So that's how it is. While I was in so much pain, you were indulging in the joy of playing marbles."

"I really just wanted to kill some time, but it's rare that I won the prize so often, and the little steel balls kept coming out." Kogoro Mouri scratched his head embarrassedly.

"So, you should let whatever needs to come out come out quickly and be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible."

The atmosphere suddenly became more awkward, which made Maori Kogoro unable to help but explain: "Isn't it said that after appendectomy surgery, you can be discharged from the hospital as long as you fart, hahahaha."

Kisaki Eri responded expressionlessly, "You don't think you said something witty, funny, and admirable, do you?"

Maori Kogoro obviously didn't understand the current situation: "No, even I admire myself for being able to come up with that..."

The next second, Kisaki Eri's furious voice rang out: "Get out, you two-faced detective!"

Kogoro Mouri was kicked out of the ward with slippers, and even Conan was implicated.

Maori Kogoro couldn't help but complain: "Really? I rushed to the hospital just for her, and she's still so angry with me."

Conan couldn't help but reveal his half-moon eyes: Isn't it natural that I would be angry when you said that?

Just then, Conan noticed two familiar figures, the prophet (white) and the priest.

[Priest: Okay, Eli, remember this: you are still seriously injured and your memory is confused.]

[Gardener: Does this mean Eli is going to act like a naive person?]

[Prophet: I will try my best.]

[Jack: If you ask me, let me hit you a few times, and you can pretend to be weak by putting on a few more layers of effort.]

[Prophet: But Brodevi will not be happy if she is beaten for no reason.]

[Hitter: Evil Chicken Nugget is trying to get a free meal, watch me explode!]

[Forward: I think it would be fine if Eli just spoke like he usually does. He's a gentle and considerate person.]

[Prophet: Thank you, William, but I'm often banned and can't help you.]

[Forward: Hey, that's okay. As long as I give it my all, the game will get better.]

[Mercenary: I beg to differ.]

The Prophet (White) was wearing a white robe, his eyes were still covered by ribbons, and a white hood was on his head, making it look like he had a pair of cat ears.

The priestess was wearing casual clothes, but she still kept the pair of ram horn ornaments on her head. She supported the prophet as they walked in the hospital corridor.

Conan keenly sensed something was wrong and immediately stepped forward to inquire about the situation: "Sister Fiona, Brother Eli, why are you in the hospital?"

The prophet began to act out the scene: "Fiona? Who is that? Rosa, do you know?"

The prophet's words stunned Conan, but he soon realized that something was wrong with the prophet.

Seeing this, the priest took the prophet's hand and explained: "Fiona is me, and Rosa is also me. Eli, don't you even remember this?"

The Prophet shook his head. "I'm sorry, I seem to have caused you so much trouble, Rosa."

The priest sighed and said, "Alas, this is not your fault. You should just call me Fiona. Rosa is my fake name."

"Okay, Fiona." The prophet nodded, then turned to Conan: "Hello, little brother, are you a friend of Rosa and Fiona?"

Conan looked at the priest: "What happened to Brother Eli? Could it be a nightmare..."

The priest shook his head. "No, it has nothing to do with nightmares. Eli developed a high fever while still recovering from his injuries, and now his memory is very confused. Dr. Messmer examined him, but the examination showed no psychological or mental problems. That's why I wanted to bring him to the hospital for a checkup."

Conan asked curiously, "Don't you have a dedicated medical department?"

The priest held his forehead helplessly and said, "Our chief physician has been withdrawn recently. No one can persuade him. Besides, Eli is out of danger now, so she doesn't want to care about him anymore."

Conan immediately recalled what the factory manager had said about the doctor at the Crystal Palace: "It was Dr. Emily. She seemed to have suffered a great blow during the incident at the Golden Rose Theater."

After hearing the conversation between Conan and the priest, the prophet said intermittently: "Emily, Doctor Emily, will die in the munitions factory... That is revenge."

The priest was horrified and immediately covered the prophet's mouth. Conan heard that the prophet's words seemed to be a death warning.

"Sister Fiona, what did Brother Eli do just now?"

"He's like this since he woke up after the fever subsided. Besides his memory being confused, he sometimes makes one or two strange predictions. It's hard for others to tell whether these predictions are true or false."

"Sister Patricia can't do that too?"

"Patricia is a voodoo witch. She's good at cursing, and I'm the only one who can interpret the prophecies."

The priest released his hand from covering the prophet's mouth and said, "Eli, please stop talking nonsense, okay?"

"Okay..." The prophet pulled his hood, hiding most of his face in the shadows.

Conan recalled the prophet's intermittent prediction: Dr. Emily would die in a military factory due to revenge.

It seems that the only event that can involve Dr. Emily and revenge is the surgical accident caused by Dr. Emily. However, the people who died at that time were Miss Emma's mother, Mr. Leo's wife, Ms. Martha. Looking at the relationship between these people, it is obvious that Mr. Leo does not hate Dr. Emily.

Not to mention Miss Emma. She has been depressed since Dr. Emily lost contact, and she is obviously not angry because Dr. Emily concealed the truth from her.

Who would be the one seeking revenge? Conan was puzzled, and suddenly he thought of something: Ms. Martha had remarried after divorcing Mr. Leo, so the person she remarried might be the one who would seek revenge on Dr. Emily!

[Prophet: Do you think Conan can connect my words to the fourth group of experimental personnel?]

[Lawyer: I have met him, but it was just a meeting, and he doesn't know our background.]

[Philanthropist: I don't think it will work. There are still a lot of hidden threads.]

[Doctor: Let's wait and see. The next show is the eighth group's experiment anyway.]

[Gardener: I saw Mike obsessed with playing the cannon flying man he brought back from the Chinatown event map.]

[Acrobats: Wuhu~]

[Noise: Wuhu~]

[Savage: When I arrived, I saw McRae in the sky, not coming down. What's going on?]

[The Joker: Ignore him, let him have his fun. (Playing the Face Changing King's face-changing)]
