Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

Inspector Megure took out Toshima Motoyuki's plate and immediately noticed blood on the bottom.

The moment he saw the blood, Inspector Megure exclaimed in surprise: "Blood was found at the bottom of the plate!"

Dieno Qinzhi immediately said: "Then it's clear, you are the murderer!"

"No, no! I'm not the murderer!"

Toshima Motoyuki quickly refuted, looking particularly nervous and flustered.

Officer Megure said to the panicked Toshima Motoyuki, "Calm down. Just to be on the safe side, check the other two's plates as well!"

Inspector Megure brought out the plates for Kinji Chouno and Suzue Sakamaki.

Surprisingly, there was also blood on the bottom of the plates of Chōno Kinji and Sakamaki Suzue.

Officer Megure was puzzled and asked, "What's going on? There are blood stains on the bottoms of these three plates! Why is this happening?"

Kamiya Minatsuki guessed, "Isn't this an easy guess? It means that the murderer found the bloodstains left by the old man named Nishizu on the bottom of the plate, so he also left bloodstains on the bottom of other plates, so that we can't tell which plate is the one that Professor Agasa saw."

Sera Masumi agreed, "He's right, but it's not just to make it difficult for Dr. Agasa to tell the difference, it's also to prevent people from knowing which one is the real thing."

Officer Megure sighed: "It seems that now we can only wait for the appraiser to come."

Officer Takagi asked, "Dr. Agasa, do you have any other way to tell which one is the real one?"

Dr. Agasa said in embarrassment: "Well... let me think about it."

Dr. Agasa thought hard and suddenly thought of something: "Oh, I remember when I turned the plate over horizontally, the front of the plate corresponding to the bloodstain was the crane's beak! So if I turn the plate over horizontally, I can tell which one is the real one based on the position of the beak!"

Officer Megure nodded and said, "Okay, for easier comparison, I put the bloodstains on all three plates facing upwards, and then turned them over horizontally. The plate with the crane's beak facing upwards is..."

Inspector Megure's eyes looked very strange.

"The crane's beaks on all three plates are not facing upwards!"

Dr. Agasa was shocked and said, "Why, how could this happen?"

Chōno Kinji, Toshima Motoyuki, and Sakamaki Suzue immediately started complaining.

"Hey!"

"Didn't you say that this way we can see who the murderer is?"

"It's so ridiculous!"

...

When Sera Masumi heard the word "see through", his expression was stunned for a moment.

Then Sera Masumi looked at Akai Shuichi who was disguised as Okiya Subaru beside him and asked, "Speaking of which, I want to ask, how did you figure it out at that time? At that time, I was observing the situation inside the door of Dr. Agasa's house, and you talked to me, didn't you?

You walked behind me holding the cherries and asked me, "Hey, are you here to find someone inside? Do you want to go in with me?"

When Conan asked you, I remember you answered him like this, 'There is a person, there is a girl wearing a motorcycle helmet outside.'

So, how do you know I'm a girl? If I'm dressed like this and wearing a helmet, most people would think I'm a boy, right? What on earth does my body look like that of a girl?

Could it be because... you already knew me?"

Shuichi Akai was not at all flustered by Sera Masumi's questioning, and answered very calmly: "Because it was not me who discovered you first, but Kamiya, and Kamiya knew you.

And it seems that this is not the first time I have seen you. We met once when Conan was kidnapped. That was our first meeting.

At the same time, I also know that you and Xiaolan are in the same class. Of course, I didn't eavesdrop, but when they were chatting, I accidentally heard them talking about you. "

Sera Masumi curled the corners of her mouth. It turned out that it was this guy Kamiya Minatsuki who discovered her first. How unlucky.

Akai Shuichi continued: "Even if these factors are eliminated, it is easy to identify."

Sera Masumi looked at Akai Shuichi in confusion: "Huh?"

Shuichi Akai replied, "Your buttocks."

Sera Masumi immediately covered her buttocks, her cheeks flushed: "Buttocks, buttocks?"

Akai Shuichi explained to Sera Masumi, "Yes, when I saw the line of your buttocks, I knew you must be a girl. I thought there was no need to explain this kind of thing, so I didn't say it."

Sera Masumi laughed dryly and said, "Yes, that's right."

Conan pulled Akai Shuichi's belt and motioned for him to follow him.

Shuichi Akai pulled up his pants inconspicuously and followed Conan to the side.

Conan asked quietly: "Mr. Akai, Sera is your sister, why don't you tell her clearly?"

Akai Shuichi put a finger in front of his mouth: "Shh, because I want to protect my sister and try not to implicate her."

Shuichi Akai looked at Masumi Sera who was harassing Haibara Ai at this time, and sighed in his heart that 17 years had passed.

At that time, Shuichi Akai was only 15 years old and Hideyoshi Haneda was only 11 years old. At that time, Hideyoshi Haneda was still called Hideyoshi Akai.

Shuichi Akai, Hideyoshi Haneda, and Mary Akai are on a flight to Japan.

The 11-year-old Haneda Hideyoshi asked Akai Mary in confusion: "Why? Why do I have to go to Japan? I have so many good friends, and they are all in the UK."

Akai Shuichi, who was sitting next to Haneda Hideyoshi, said in a deep voice: "Hideyoshi, have you forgotten what my father said in that message? From now on, we have to hide our British identity and live in Japan."

Haneda Hideyoshi said sadly: "But I haven't said goodbye to my friends properly yet."

Akai Mary said to Haneda Hideyoshi: "Hideyoshi, do you remember that your father had a friend named Haneda?"

Haneda Hideyoshi nodded and said "hmm".

"He has a son named Hiroshi, right?"

Haneda Hideyoshi immediately remembered: "Yes, that's the brother who is good at playing shogi!"

"However, unexpectedly, Haosi suddenly died in the United States. Haosi's father could only ask your father to go to the United States to find out the truth. Later, your father found that the opponent was very difficult to deal with. He realized that there would be danger, so he asked us to hide in Japan.

But don't worry, your father is a very powerful man. I believe he will be able to catch all those bad guys and come back to reunite with us. After all, he has two such lovely sons waiting for him.

in addition..."

Akai Mary stroked her belly and said, "He must want to see the child, your sister. You must take good care of her in the future."
