Edogawa Conan and Akai Hideo looked at each other, and they both saw the slight astonishment in each other's eyes.

Shuichi Akai slowly opened his mouth and said, "These few letters can form two English words, one is ASACA, which is the English name of Asaka, Amanda's bodyguard who is most suspected in the Koji Haneda case, and the remaining five letters form RUM." , Rum. The death message left by Haneda Koji should be to convey to the outside world that bodyguard Asaka is Rum."

Conan Edogawa pondered for a moment and asked a key question: "Is the pair of scissors and the broken makeup mirror shown at the crime scene really left by Koji Haneda?"

Akai Shuichi frowned slightly, and something quickly flashed through his mind: "You mean...?"

Edogawa Conan nodded: "According to my inference, in the Haneda Koji case 17 years ago, in addition to the murderer Haneda Koji and the killed Haneda Koji, there was a third person who broke in, just like today's case , but it is different."

"Haihara told me that the name of Koji Haneda is on the death list of people who were ingested APTX4869. Once this drug is swallowed, except for extreme cases like me and Haibara, they all die suddenly. Koji Haneda almost never Likely to leave a death message before dying, unless he anticipated his own death before being drugged."

"Looking at the mark left on the palm of Koji Haneda, when I first saw the online information, I preconceived that it was the mark left by him holding the scissors that fell aside. But police officer Karasuma's shogi reminder I’m sorry, Koji Haneda still has a missing shogi. Compared with scissors, the mark on his palm is more like the result of squeezing the shogi hard.”

"After I came to this conclusion, and recalled the detailed information about the Koji Haneda case released on the Internet, it is not difficult to find that the person who released the case anonymously has been consciously avoiding the lost coin of Koji Haneda. Shogi, let everyone think in the direction of 'Koji Haneda held the scissors before he died'."

"The man posted the case information on the Internet regularly, as if he was hoping that someone would be able to solve the truth of the case, but the other party deliberately concealed this important clue. His ultimate goal is very intriguing."

Edogawa Conan's spectacle lenses reflected sharp white light, and the corners of one side of his mouth were slowly raised upwards.

"So, my conclusion is that during the blank period between the murder of Haneda Koji and the discovery of his body, someone broke into the scene of the crime and set out to arrange this cryptic 'death message', and In the past 17 years, I have been unremittingly posting the information of Haneda Koji's case on the Internet, hoping that someone can crack the code left by him and finally expose the truth of the incident."

Hideichi Akai thought of another deceased person in the case of Koji Haneda 17 years ago, and realized something: "When I was in the organization, I got a piece of news - the case of Koji Haneda 17 years ago was the work of the organization's second-in-command, Rum. Mistake. According to the style of the organization, the murder will not leave any traces, just like the room of the other deceased Amanda, clean and the cause of death is unknown. But the scene of the crime after Koji Haneda was murdered was full of mess , and also left a suspicious signal pointing to the organization, indicating that someone else was involved in the case."

Edogawa Conan rubbed his chin, showing a sharp and mature expression that completely didn't match his immature primary school student appearance: "With the ability to do so many small tricks under Rum's nose, the other party is likely to be someone from the organization .”

Akai Shuichi narrowed his dark green eyes slightly: "This means that when Rum went out on a mission 17 years ago, there was still one person with him, but another member of the organization later defected for some reason?"

Edogawa Conan said solemnly: "Yes, that person should be Asaka, the bodyguard who disappeared after the Haneda Koji case. Seventeen years ago, a witness named Gu Li said that he had seen the missing Asaka holding that makeup Kagami, if Asaka is Rum, after killing Koji Haneda, it is impossible for her to lose her belongings at the scene of the crime no matter what."

"So my conclusion is not valid. What Asaka wants to imply is not ASACARUM, but a synthetic word, CARASUMA?" Akai Hideo's eyes drooped slightly, and the dark green eyes were dark. "Karasuma's Japanese Roman pronunciation is Karasuma , although KA and CA have the same pronunciation...is there any other possibility, are you sure it's Karasuma?"

"Ninety percent sure. Even if the BOSS behind the organization is not surnamed Karasuma, it is also closely related to the Karasuma Group." Edogawa Conan paused, and then asked, "Mr. Everything has to do with crows?"

"A crow?" Akai Shuichi was thoughtful, seeming to remember something.

"Once I happened to hear the sound of Belmode's button to send an email to the boss of the organization. The tone of the tone is the tone of the lyrics of the nursery rhyme "Seven Children", 'Little Crow, why are you crying'. And... Conan Edogawa raised his head and glanced at Hideyoshi Akai, "Ms. Minmei emphasized to me twice before she died, 'People in the organization always like to wear dark clothes like crows'. From her words and attitude, I think she probably already guessed my identity, so she specially used such a cryptic metaphor to hint at me."

The family crest of the Karasuma family is a black crow spreading its wings arrogantly.

Akai Shuichi was silent for a long time.

"The Karasuma family, that is the most unshakable No. [-] chaebol family in Japan, and it is also quite influential internationally. Such a powerful opponent..." He suddenly snorted, "The blood in my whole body is boiling .”

Conan Edogawa couldn't help but twitched his mouth when he saw Hideichi Akai's excited and bloodthirsty expression after encountering a prey.

If Huiyuan sees her, I'm afraid her organization's radar will go off again.

Conan Edogawa was incapable of accepting Shuichi Akai, who had a great sense of gin and wine, and decisively changed the subject: "Mr. Akai, I have another suspicion. Mr. Rumi Wakasa is probably the bodyguard Asaka who disappeared 17 years ago."

"Wakasa Rumi? Is that your elementary school teacher?"

Akai Shuichi walked to the window sill, opened half of the glass window, and let the cold rain mixed with the cold night wind hit his face.He leaned against a corner of the wall and lit a cigarette slowly with a match.

"The bodyguard Asaka who was 17 years ago was a very vigilant guy with amazing explosive power, especially good at instantly suppressing those dangerous opponents."

Conan Edogawa followed with his hands in his trouser pockets.

Following Akai Shuichi's narration, Edogawa Conan also remembered how Wakasa stayed in the United States and repeatedly killed criminals when he encountered the case before.Although Rumi Wakasa claims that it was a mistake, but there are too many similar coincidences, it can no longer be called a coincidence, and...

"When I found the shogi on the stairs, Rumi Wakasa's reaction was a little too aggressive. I also noticed that she subconsciously touched the pocket of her trousers - there was a small bump in her pocket, which matched the shape of the shogi. Number."

"If Rumi Wakasa was the bodyguard Asaka who took away Koji Haneda's protective shogi 17 years ago and disappeared after defecting from the organization..." Shuichi Akai took a puff of cigarette, exhaled the dense white smoke, blurring the sudden expression on his face With a sharp expression, "Then she suddenly appeared in Didan Elementary School at this time. Is the target you or Huiyuan? Or, both?"

Edogawa Conan's heart sank.

This is really not good news for him.

There are too many people staring at him recently.

Rum, the second in command of an organization.

An unknown Rumi Wakasa whose identity is a mystery. ——Although Wakasa Rumi has a high probability of defecting from the organization, but no one knows what she wants to do.

"I will pay attention." Edogawa Conan said in a deep voice, "There is Haibara, please ask Mr. Akai to take care of it."

"Even if I risk my life, I will protect her." Akai Hideichi snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, his bottomless dark green eyes looked at the moon shrouded in dark clouds in the night sky, and his last whisper was drowned out Amidst the ticking of the rain and the whistling of the wind, "...this is my agreement with her."

the other side.

Lobby.

The two prisoners were trapped hands and feet and thrown in a corner.

Kaoru Karasuma and Toru Amuro sat on the sofa not far away.

This distance is convenient for them to look at the two prisoners, and they will not be heard by them when they communicate.

Toru Amuro glanced thoughtfully at the shogi in Kaoru Karasuma's hand: "Is Officer Karasuma recently re-investigating the Koji Haneda case 17 years ago?"

Karasuma gave a sudden meal.

In front of her, Mr. Jiang Gu seemed to be less and less concealing his identity.

For a while, he said "my lover is this country", and for a while he directly asked her what case she was investigating-it was impossible for him not to know that the work of the police needs to be kept secret, and he asked so carelessly!

Did Mr. Jiang Gu find out that he knew his identity, so he was testing her?

How should she answer?

If she answered truthfully, would Mr. Jiang Gu feel that she was not vigilant and leaked public security secrets to people outside the system?

If she hides and doesn't answer...

Speaking of which, isn't Mr. Jiang Gu's temptation this time a bit too obvious, so obvious that she can even discover it...

Could this temptation itself be another temptation?

After she found out that she was being tempted, would she choose to keep concealing it or confess it honestly?

Kaoru Karasuma had a brainstorm, and then successfully passed himself out.

It's really Mr. Jiang Gu!The city was so deep that any random question would force her into a dilemma.

Kaoru Karasuma took out the detector in the bag and checked it to make sure that there were no bugs around, then raised his hands and confessed with confidence.

"Mr. Furuya, don't test me anymore." Kaoru Karasuma surrendered helplessly, "I do know that you are Mr. Furuya, Mr. Amuro."

Toru Amuro: "...?" A question mark slowly came out.

In Amuro's purple-grey eyes, an imperceptible daze flashed across.

Probing?him?

Also, why is this a showdown?

Amuro Toru really didn't mean to test this time.He just found that today's case is similar to the Haneda Koji case 17 years ago, and they just found out that Wakasa Rumi and Haneda Koji's case were related this morning, so he wanted to discuss this topic with Karasuma Kaoru.

I always feel that Kaoru Karasuma has misunderstood something.

However, since Kaoru Karasuma said so, of course Toru Amuro couldn't let go of this opportunity, and said, "Then, Police Officer Karasuma, can you tell me where I have exposed my flaws?"

Meeting Toru Amuro's still smiling expression, Kaoru Karasuma's hand placed by his side slightly retracted by two points.

coming.

With his trademark smile, Mr. Furugu asked her the ultimate question.

Fortunately she was prepared.

"Actually, I met Mr. Furutani a long time ago." Karasuma showed a recalled expression, "About seven years ago, I met robbers in a convenience store, and finally a group of police cadets rescued everyone At that time, I noticed you, Mr. Jiang Gu, and I heard someone call you Mr. Jiang Gu.

"So I recognized you when I was at the Polo Cafe, but I felt like you were doing a secret mission, so I pretended that I didn't know anything, and I didn't hide it on purpose."

"So that's how it is." Amuro revealed a sudden realization, and he didn't ask Karasuma Kaoru why he remembered what happened seven years ago so clearly.

After all, a blond-haired Japanese policeman like him has a lot of memories.

This is his advantage and also his disadvantage.

It is difficult for the organization to think that he looks like a Japanese police officer. Even if they have doubts about him, they will often check with the FBI or CIA abroad—of course nothing can be found, and his undercover identity can be well investigated. cover.

But at the same time, once he meets someone he has met before, he is also very easy to recognize.

Seeing that Mr. Furutani did not doubt her words, Karasuma breathed a sigh of relief.

This stage is finally over.

Alright, you don't have to worry about acting in front of Mr. Jiang Gu anymore.

The three Matsuda Jinpei sitting in a row on the armrest of the sofa at the side expressed that they did not understand.

Hagiwara Kenji tilted his head strategically: "Is Fuguya's words a test? Why didn't I see it?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang touched his stubble-free chin, and after brainstorming for three seconds, he nodded affirmatively: "That's right, Zero is just testing."

Matsuda Jinping couldn't help sighing: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and Jiang Gu, who had a serious personality back then, has become an old fox."

When Karasuma heard Matsuda Jinpei's evaluation of Mr. Furutani, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

She quickly changed the subject: "Mr. Amuro, I have some new views on the Haneda Koji case 17 years ago."

Toru Amuro turned to look at her, beckoning her to continue talking.

The analysis process of Kaoru Karasuma is similar to that of Conan Edogawa.

Toru Amuro added from the side that the two quickly came to the same conclusion as Edogawa Conan and the others.

——Rumi Wakasa is Asaka, the bodyguard who disappeared 17 years ago. She used to be a member of the organization.

——The message left by Rumi Wakasa in the case of Koji Haneda, implying that the organization is closely related to "Karasuma".

Toru Amuro noticed Karasuma Kaoru's frank expression, and reaffirmed his conjecture in his heart.

Kaoru Karasuma has nothing to do with the organization—at least not yet.

"Officer Karasuma, do you have any clues about the relationship between 'Karasuma' and the organization?"

Hearing Toru Amuro's question, Kaoru Karasuma couldn't help showing distressed expression: "There are only two words Karasuma, the scope is too big."

Then Kaoru Karasuma and Toku Amuro talked about the population of their Karasuma family - there are more than 300 descendants of Renye Karasuma who inherited the Karasuma Group, not to mention Renye Karasuma's older brothers and younger brothers, The offspring of the cousin cousin.

Toru Amuro showed her peasy eyes in shock.

The Karasuma family is more prosperous than expected.

Toru Amuro carefully recalled the few words he heard in the organization, and the Karasuma Group that the Miyano and Elena couple mentioned when they were young, investing in their experiments, and finally narrowed down the target to the branch that inherited the Karasuma Group.

"Officer Karasuma, who is the actual person in charge of the Karasuma Group now?"

Although Toru Amuro can find out this kind of thing with a little effort, but it is not as clear and detailed as his family members.

Furthermore, Toru Amuro also wanted to use this question to assess Kaoru Karasuma's feelings for the Karasuma family in his heart-this is related to the fact that Kaoru Karasuma and her powerful father will feel the balance in their hearts after the truth is completely exposed on the table. In the interests of the family or justice and the law.

"The actual person in power?" Kaoru Karasuma rubbed his chin in embarrassment, "In the past two years, it seems to be Makoto Karasuma... Their line of direct lineage has always been fighting for power. Today this one comes up, and tomorrow that one Going down again, it's a mess."

Amuro heard Karasuma's unfamiliarity with the direct line of the Karasuma family in Kaoru Karasuma's voice, and his heart moved slightly: "Can you tell me more about it?"

After Renye Karasuma passed away, the Karasuma Group was inherited by his eldest son.Kaoru Karasuma's grandfather's grandfather is Renye Karasuma's youngest son. More than half a century has passed, and it has been passed down to the sixth generation. The relationship with the direct line is actually very alienated.

So what Kaoru Karasuma knew was only some very marginal things. If you want to investigate, you can find out, and there is nothing you can't say, so I picked up things that she thought might be useful and told Amuro Toru.

After listening, Toru Amuro nodded thoughtfully, turned on his phone and started editing work emails.

Karasuma consciously looked away.

She stared at the two prisoners who were huddled in the corner. They were not asleep either, staring at the void with their eyes wide open, wondering what they were thinking.

Looking at it, Kaoru Karasuma suddenly felt a little sleepy, and his eyelids gradually drooped...

Toru Amuro froze when editing the email.

He turned to look at Kaoru Karasuma next to him.

The other party didn't know when he fell asleep, his head unconsciously leaned on his shoulder, and his slightly messy hair brushed his neck, itching.

Amuro laughed unconsciously.

The usual Karasuma Kaoru is a very capable female police officer, and she is unambiguous in solving cases and arresting criminals.Unexpectedly, he fell asleep so unsuspectingly at this moment, with a little baby fat remaining on his face.

After all, he is still a fledgling and childish police rookie.

Looking at Kaoru Karasuma sleeping soundly, Toru Amuro couldn't help but think of the period when he was an intern after graduating from the police academy. Because he was not yet familiar with the work of the police, he was so busy that he worked overtime until late at night every day, and then took a nap on the table , Then get up and continue working.

Toru Amuro didn't touch her - he knew that the police officers had occupational diseases to some extent, and they would wake up at the slightest sign of disturbance.

He stretched out his arms and took a blanket to cover Karasuma, then continued to pick up his phone and send emails to Kazami.

However, Kaoru Karasuma didn't seem to be sleeping very soundly, he kept moving around, and finally his head slipped directly onto Toru Amuro's lap.

Toru Amuro lowered her eyes, shook her head helplessly and amusedly, and reached out to help her up.

Fingers accidentally brushed Karasuma Kaoru's face, and the slightly hot touch made Amuro feel that something was wrong, frowning slightly, he stretched out his hand to cover her forehead.

She has a fever.

Toru Amuro quickly laid the person flat on the sofa, got up and looked around, and took out the family medicine box under the TV cabinet.

He found a mercury thermometer and wanted to take Karasuma's temperature.

but……

Toru Amuro found that he couldn't put the thermometer into Kaoru Karasuma's mouth.

He looked at Kaoru Karasuma, whose cheeks were flushed from burning, but still clenched his teeth tightly and refused to open his mouth, and couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded.

Police officer Karasuma was surprisingly vigilant in this regard.

He had to push her gently to wake her up.

"Huh...huh?" Karasuma opened his eyes in a daze, feeling dizzy.

"Officer Karasuma, you have a fever, open your mouth, and I'll take your temperature first."

Kaoru Karasuma stared at Toru Amuro with his eyes wide open for a while, then slowly turned his head around after a while, and opened his mouth obediently: "Ah——"

It's like a five-year-old child being checked by a doctor.

Amuro couldn't help chuckling, and put the thermometer into her mouth.

Five minutes later, Toru Amuro took out the thermometer and checked it. The scale showed 5°C, a moderate fever.

Toru Amuro found the antipyretic medicine from the medicine box and fed it to Kaoru Karasuma, and then put a cold antipyretic patch on her forehead.

"Officer Karasuma, let me take you up to rest first." Toru Amuro picked Karasuma up in his arms and went up to the second floor.

Karasuma consciously put his arms around Toru Amuro's neck.

Her hair brushed against his cheek this time.

When passing Okiya Subaru's room, Amuro knocked on the door with one hand.

Okiya Subaru was still awake at this time, and was discussing the next plan with Edogawa Conan.

Hearing the knock on the door, Okiya Subaru pulled up his collar calmly and turned on the switch of the voice changer.

After opening the door and seeing the postures of Toru Amuro and Kaoru Karasuma outside the door, Subaru Okiya's expression was stunned for a moment.

"This is……?"

Toru Amuro nodded slightly at Okiya Subaru: "Officer Karasuma has a fever, I'll take her to rest first, please take care of the two people downstairs."

"I'll go right away." Okiya Subaru nodded in response.

Toru Amuro carried Karasuma Kaoru into her room.

Taking off the shoes, untying the belt, wiping the face, covering the quilt... a series of movements are smooth and done in one go.

Matsuda Jinpei and the other three flying beside watched Toru Amuro helping Karasuma to press the quilt carefully, and the worried expressions on their faces gradually solidified.

Matsuda Jinping's little curly hair turned up in shock: "This guy Jianggu...is he actually such a careful person?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang scratched his face: "Zero has always been good at taking care of people... right?"

Hagiwara Kenji showed a look of seeing the truth: "Don't you think that Jiang Gu and Xiao Kaoru have a certain affection for each other?"

"Is there?" Matsuda Jinping tilted his head in doubt.

"Is there?" Zhu Fu Jingguang tilted his head in doubt.

Hagiwara Kenji half-moon eye: "..." With this EQ, it's no wonder he's single.
