The Split-Actress in Conan's World

The clouds move with the wind, the atmosphere is ambiguous, and everything is in a beautiful state.

But there are always unexpected things happening.

"what!!"

A shrill scream sounded not far away, drawing the attention of both men.

Chiyoko's face darkened visibly.

Instead, Haibara Ai rolled her eyes in amusement, and the previous blush gradually faded away, returning to her most natural fair complexion.

"You say he is the god of death, but I think you are no less than that."

Chiyoko couldn't help but feel a little bit of a toothache when she was teased by her using the same words she had used to complain about Conan.

"I want to see which brat is so good at seizing the opportunity to ruin my business."

He stood up cursing, but Huihara Ai was not in a hurry. She knew he would come back eventually, so she fiddled with the barbecue on the grill according to her own interest, sprinkled some seasoning on it, and prepared to comfort her little stomach.

When Chiyoko walked to the edge of the cliff, she saw two dark shadows at the place where she and the doctor had found the body in the afternoon.

One of them was curled up on the ground, groaning in pain, while the other was holding a stick and typing on a mobile phone.

The faint light from the cell phone illuminated his face. It was the bald editor-in-chief of the astronomy magazine, Heihachi Mikami, whom he had met at the hotel.

As for the one on the ground, Chiyoko also remembered his voice. He should be the big-headed Futagawa Hajime who was with Mikami Heihachi.

Looking more carefully, it was clear that what Mikami Heihachi was holding in his hand was not an ordinary stick, but a double-barreled shotgun!

My goodness, this is not a spur-of-the-moment murder. He prepared a shotgun in advance. Is he planning to do something big?

Chiyoko acted decisively, opened the sight on her watch, and fired the anesthetic needle.

Dr. Agasa's newly upgraded multi-function watch 3.0 has improved data in all aspects, especially the anesthetic needle, the range of which has doubled to a normal range of 50 meters and a maximum range of 70 meters.

There is no need to explain much about Chiyoko's accuracy. The anesthetic needle hit Mikami Heihachi without any surprise. He uttered a puzzled "hmm" and then fell down neatly.

Then he sighed helplessly, took out his detective badge and informed Conan.

When Dr. Agasa and others received the news and arrived, there were only two unconscious guys left on the ground.

It's just that one was beaten into coma, while the other was the effect of the anesthetic injection.

The scene is also very clear. Gokami Heihachi attempted to commit a crime but failed, and was caught red-handed. There is nothing much to say.

As they said, the police arrived at the scene quickly at night.

After taking the two away, they also found the same death message as Mr. Kawano's, which was left by Futagawa Hajime before he fell into a coma, with seven cigarettes, five long and two short.

After Conan's hindsight reasoning, this was probably a supplement to the information about Mr. Kawano's death, used to imply that the person who wanted to kill him was the same person who killed Mr. Kawano.

The answer is actually "Mikami Heihachi".

"Mikami" is the four long and two short ones left by Mr. Kawano, while "Heihachi" is the five long and two short ones left by Hajime Futagawa.

In fact, Mikami Heihachi was not called Mikami Heihachi, but Mikami Heihachi. He had a guilty conscience because he had killed Kawano here not long ago, so he chose "Mikami" as his surname when registering, which has the same pronunciation but different characters.

As for the motive for the crime, Conan speculated that it was related to the comet discovered by Heihachi Mikami.

It is possible that the comet was actually discovered by Kawano Masao, but this was known to Mikami Heihachi. He wanted to get the naming rights for the comet, but was rejected by Kawano Masao, which made him want to kill him.

The reason why he targeted Futagawa Hajime was probably because they worked in the same magazine company. In addition, the two of them came to this hotel together a year ago, so he accidentally discovered that he had killed Kawano Masao. Futagawa Hajime used this as a threat and blackmailed him, which eventually led to this result.

Of course, this is just a reasonable guess he made. The specific situation can only be known after the two people wake up and the police actually interrogate them.

However, one thing is certain, that is, both Haibara Ai and Chiyoko Hikari guessed that the owner of this inn, Amado Ryoji, had actually discovered Kawano Masao's body a long time ago, and the invitation inviting everyone to come was actually sent by him.

He thought that if he invited the guests who were staying in the same hotel on the day Mr. Kawano disappeared to come and find the body themselves, maybe the murderer would confess himself, which would also be an explanation to Mr. Kawano.

As for why they didn't call the police when they found the body...

Facing the children's puzzled looks, Tian Tulingsi touched his head embarrassedly.

"Because my hotel is located in a remote area, if someone died there, I would definitely not be able to operate it..."

It has to be said that his way of thinking is indeed not that of an ordinary person, and everyone is speechless about this reason.

Although the result is almost the same now, Mikami Heihachi failed to silence Futagawa Hajime, and the truth about Kawano Masao's death was revealed, which was enough to make headlines in local newspapers. His business of running the inn is probably over.

With a complex emotion of loss and relief, Amado Ryoji generously offered to refund them the accommodation fee and telescope rental, and apologized for giving them a bad experience on their trip to Gunma.

The children also felt sorry for the innkeeper. Knowing that today might be the last day of business, he still insisted on paying and offered comfort.

Finally, after the sharp-faced and monkey-faced inspector Yamamura So of the Gunma Metropolitan Police Department led his team away, the incident came to an end.

Then Conan realized belatedly that it was Chiyo who called everyone up with the detective badge, so why didn't he show up?

Using the red dot of the detective badge on his glasses to locate him, he speechlessly found the two people who were enjoying their meal at the top of the mountain.

Professor Agasa and the three little ones followed him up and saw the sizzling hot Sukiyaki pot and the sizzling barbecue.

"Ah, cunning!"

"Two people are secretly having a picnic here!"

"If you don't invite me when you eat something delicious, you're not a good friend!"

You know, before they could finish their meal, they were called out by Chiyoko with the detective badge, and then they had to hand over to the police, which took a lot of effort, and now their stomachs were growling with hunger.

While Chiyoko was still hesitating, Haibara Ai smiled indulgently, invited them to sit down and eat together, and added some more ingredients to the pot and the grill.

Regardless of anything else, at least the food prepared by Chiyoko is definitely enough, not to mention the children plus Conan and Professor Agasa, there is definitely enough food for five Gentas.

Under the starry night, everyone had a great meal together, which made this trip with the theme of "stargazing" worthwhile.

Ayumi, who was more attentive, ate and looked curiously at Haibara Ai, whose lips were still curled.

"Ai-chan looks very happy. Did something happy happen?"

Haibara Ai was stunned by her question, then her eyes softened, as if they were covered in honey, and she chuckled.

"Probably so."

She held her chin with one hand and looked at Chiyoko, who was enjoying her meal not far away, arm in arm with Conan, competing in identifying constellations.

The two boys who used to be smart were now like childish kids, arguing with each other until their faces turned red and neither of them gave in.

Surrounded by the laughter of children, Haibara Ai knocked away Professor Agasa's tentative hand that was reaching for another piece of grilled meat covered with cumin and chili powder. She couldn't help laughing when she saw his aggrieved yet longing eyes.

Days like this are so beautiful.
