If he's interested in psychology, he'll probably switch to psychology in college, since medical school undergraduate programs are five years long.

It is precisely because it goes against common sense that Kyosuke Kazato is now even more suspicious.

Even Higashino Ning could conclude that Kazato Kyosuke's killing of Jinno Yasushi back then must have been closely related to his transfer to the Psychiatry Department.

Doesn't that give you a clear direction?

Higashino Ning then asked Kazato Kyosuke a few more questions about his usual behavior and whether he had done anything strange in the past few days, before ending the conversation and leaving.

He had just stepped out of the nurses' rest area when he heard Kogoro Mouri's anxious voice.

"Is there really no possibility of negotiation? You absolutely have to move back in?"

With an air of noble elegance and aloofness, Eri Kisaki crossed her arms and turned her head to one side.

"That's right, I absolutely have to move back in."

"How can I possibly let you take care of Xiaolan alone in her current state!"

"Stop nagging, old man, just give up."

"I also came back to see what a mess you've made of this house."

The middle-aged couple is arguing again.

Kogoro Mouri felt utterly hopeless when he suddenly caught sight of Higashino Ning, who was sneaking along the wall, trying to slip away.

"Inspector Higashino, what are you doing?"

Higashino Ning: "......"

Can't you just pretend you didn't see me?

It was really embarrassing to walk out surrounded by a group of nurses!

He stood up calmly and said, "Hey, Mr. Mori, it's been a long time."

What the hell? It's been so long! Weren't we sitting together just twenty or thirty minutes ago?

Kogoro Mouri planned to step forward and grab Higashino Ning to ask him in detail.

He himself is also extremely embarrassed right now, feeling uncomfortable standing next to Eri Kisaki.

But Higashino Ning ran away.

Run very fast.

Chapter 185 Conan is Stealing My Wisdom

"Really."

Kogoro Mouri straightened his tie. "These days, the police always act so mysteriously, it leaves me completely confused."

Conan, who had been following behind the couple without daring to utter a sound, suddenly realized something and thought to himself:

"Officer Higashino must have just come out of the nurses' station."

"Does this mean that his current suspect is a doctor?"

"doctor......"

Conan's brain was punctured by an electric current.

"If he's a doctor, then it must be Dr. Kazato."

"But why?"

Is there anything suspicious about him?

Conan quickly began to think and make connections.

His powerful ability to capture details, coupled with his strong memory, instantly reminded him of the time when Kyosuke Kazato dialed the number with his left hand.

"Is Dr. Kazato left-handed...?"

"And that spying gaze was also coming from the park downstairs from the hospital..."

This is just like the Eight Trigrams.

As long as you give Conan a starting point, he can instantly connect many things and find the most logical line of reasoning to frantically deduce and speed up the progress.

In that split second, Conan identified the previously unremarkable Kyosuke Kazato as the prime suspect.

Nothing else.

The fact that he is left-handed, that he is secretly observing, and that Higashino Ning is paying attention are enough for Conan to make his current judgment.

"In that case, Dr. Kazato's reluctance to force Ran to regain her memories can also be explained."

Conan wasn't quite sure if he was misinterpreting Kyosuke Kazato's concern for his patients as a doctor.

"Never mind, this is not important. Anyway, we have a clear direction for the investigation."

What a satisfying "sudden realization" deduction!

Hey! What are you standing there for?

Just then, Kogoro Mouri turned around and shouted, "We need to hurry back and clean the room! Ran is being discharged from the hospital and going home tomorrow!"

Conan snapped out of his thoughts and chuckled awkwardly, "Ah... um!"

Actually, he wanted to find Higashino Ning more now, but the other person ran so fast that he could no longer see him.

Let's communicate by phone later.

...

the other side.

Higashino Ning has already made his way to the hospital's records management department.

This place contains not only copies of various patients' medical records, but also professional files of practicing doctors.

Once the police inspector pulls out his little notebook, everyone has to cooperate obediently.

"This is Dr. Kazato's file."

The administrator asked respectfully, "Inspector, is there anything else you need?"

Higashino Ning waved his hand, "Thank you, that's all. I'll come find you if I remember anything else later."

Before the administrator had completely left, he immediately opened the file and began to examine it.

What the nurse heard was not a rumor.

The file clearly states that Kyosuke Kazato worked as a surgeon in the First Department of Surgery at the University of Tokyo Hospital more than a year ago.

The First Department of Surgery at the University of Tokyo Hospital is also where Yasushi Nino works.

“Look at the time... Kyosuke Kazato had already resigned two months before Yasushi Nino died.”

"The reason for leaving the previous job was listed as 'self-resignation,' and he started working here six months ago. So, this guy managed to pass a psychology-related professional exam with zero background knowledge in just about eight months, and achieved quite a high level of success?"

"He really is a genius player."

Higashino Ning flipped through the pages again, but the information wasn't very valuable; it mainly consisted of his educational background and awards.

Then let's go to the Southeast University Affiliated Hospital for a checkup.

He returned the file and left the hospital.

Just as he got into the car, Conan called, asking if he was currently investigating Kyosuke Kazato.

Higashino Ning was quite surprised.

What's going on?

He was still using the principles of Conan's theories to solve cases, but Conan himself had already broken free from those principles.

Is Kyosuke Kazeto the person you should be suspecting now?!

Did you go out and investigate?!

Oh...it seems they really did investigate, except I was the one who did the investigation...

Higashino Ning suddenly realized something.

What the hell!

He somehow ended up being Conan's lackey!

Could this be the fate of police officers in the world of Detective Conan?

Higashino Ning suddenly felt that this sense of destiny was a little scary.

"No, it's Conan who's stealing my wisdom!"

"Hmph~!"

Higashino Ning put aside his strange ideas and had a brief chat with Conan.

Indeed, it turned out as he had thought.

Conan is now simply following his train of thought, and his suspicion of Kyosuke Kafkado is also because of him.

After finishing the phone call, they agreed to split up and act separately.

Higashino Ning went to the hospital to check on Kazeto Kyosuke's past experiences, thus confirming that the other party had a motive for committing the crime.

Conan, on the other hand, went directly to Tamaki Nino, the younger sister of the original victim, Yasushi Nino, and approached the case from the perspective of a family member.

With the two of them working together, they're sure to strip Kyosuke Kazato naked.

As for whether Xiaolan will be in any danger...

Conan had initially thought that being discharged tomorrow might be too hasty, but now he couldn't wait for Ran Mouri to leave the hospital!

Thinking of this, Conan, who had already walked to the hospital entrance, decided to turn back. "Uncle, I'd better go back to the ward and stay with Ran-neechan."

“It might be boring for Sonoko-neechan to stay here alone. I can help with any extra tasks.”

What he said makes a lot of sense.

Kogoro Mouri, who had originally thought it would be very awkward and uncomfortable to go home alone with Eri Kisaki, couldn't find any fault with it.
