A Tribute to Sherlock Holmes[Comprehensive]

A person who wears a mask for a long time may not even know that the face under the mask is no different from the mask.

Why was Hiratsuka Izumi not like this?

Two years will not easily change a person, but two years of torture can easily distort the personality of an ordinary girl.

Izumi Hiratsuka's feelings for Shinichi Kudo were no longer pure after she was released from confinement.

Originally, she thought that she would never get in touch with those people who once belonged to her life. After receiving the task of finding and obliterating Shirley, and in the process of collecting information, she accidentally jumped out of Kudo Shinichi's news.

At that moment, the cold words on the computer screen gradually reflected the appearance of a boy in her mind.That look is so clear that it never seems to fade.

At this time, Izumi Hiratsuka understood that she still seemed to have a yearning love for that boy, and this feeling was exactly the same as the feeling two years ago.

It was exactly the same as she thought.

In this way, Hiratsuka Izumi felt that there was nothing wrong with the task he received.Even if you may be monitored by the organization and continue to linger in the shadow of the organization, what does it matter?As long as she survived, that boy would be like a ray of light in the darkness, illuminating her hope.

Get close to him, then reappear in front of him.

Of course, Izumi Hiratsuka knew the relationship between Kudo Shinichi and Mori Ran. What she wanted to do was to let Kudo Shinichi remember her forever, the kind that could imprint herself in the heart of the other party.

On the day agreed by Conan and Hiratsuka Izumi, the weather was very bad.The gloomy sky is gray, and the dull breath in the air makes people feel as if they have been choked up in the nasal cavity.

It's a harbinger of rain.

Conan went to Izumi Hiratsuka's apartment as scheduled. After the Takase incident, the apartment seemed to be suddenly shrouded in darkness.Perhaps it was because the sky was too dark that day, which made this place feel inexplicably desolate.

Taking the elevator to the third floor, Conan walked to the door of Izumi Hiratsuka's house.

The yellow isolation belt has been removed here, and everything is so peaceful that it seems that no case has ever happened.The door of Hiratsuka Izumi's house was ajar and not locked, as if it was waiting for his arrival.

Conan pushed the door open and went in, the hinges made an old creaking sound, which was somewhat penetrating.

He stood in the entrance, and he didn't see Izumi Hiratsuka in his limited field of vision.He just stood there, quickly surveying the visible parts.

Compared with the chaos of that day, the room has been tidied up.Sofas and other furniture have been moved back to their original locations, and broken teapots and cups have all been cleaned up, or replaced with a brand new set, I don't know.There is a smell of freshener in the air, like the scent of jasmine, it should be the kind of freshener that can be bought in convenience stores.

Compared with the first time I came to Hiratsuka Izumi's house, there are fewer things here, and the excessive emptiness gives people a very uncomfortable feeling.

"Kudou-kun, you are here." The girl's gentle voice came from the room, her voice was still gentle and transparent, "I'm sorry, I'm making tea here, come in and sit by yourself, the slippers are in the shoe cabinet .”

Approaching from the entrance, the gradually widening field of vision entered the scene of the open kitchen, and finally framed the speaking girl in sight.

The girl was wearing a pure white home dress, her body was too thin to support the shape of the dress.The skirt was so long that it covered her calves.Her long, pure black hair hung loose, one side hooked behind her ear, and the other side slipped a few strands from her shoulders.

This kind of her is really gentle and good-looking. From the perspective of appearance and aura, she seems to be a little bit similar to Mao Lilan.Conan himself, who is Mao Lilan's childhood sweetheart, feels similar.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this sense of discordant similarity that Conan is always unable to bring up a completely opposite attitude towards Izumi Hiratsuka.

Because this is the simplest human emotion, everyone will subconsciously have the first impression of beautiful things, and emotional judgments will always instinctively precede logical and rational conclusions.

Izumi Hiratsuka stood behind the table in the small kitchen, and the tea that had been brewed on the table was steaming up towards the white mist, and finally faded away.Her eyes hung down on it, and those pupils were so pure and innocent no matter what time they looked.

Hearing the sound of walking, Izumi Hiratsuka's hands paused for a moment, she turned her head and smiled at Conan, looking very relaxed, as if she was not disturbed by the questioning that was about to be posed to her again.

"Ah Kudo-kun, I'm ready here, just wait for me." She quickly poured the brewed tea into the glass and put it on the tray.

Conan sat down on the sofa and looked up at Izumi Hiratsuka, capturing every movement of the girl.The latter walked up to him with a tray, and put the tea on the coffee table in front of him.

Izumi Hiratsuka also sat down on the sofa opposite him, still sitting upright, like a template of etiquette.

"Kudo-kun's expression is too serious, which makes me very nervous." Izumi Hiratsuka's eyebrows and eyes were curved, and his soft voice sounded very comfortable.Just like her pure white appearance at the moment, she looks like a saint who has no sin at all.

Conan couldn't help but take it seriously, the more he looked at Izumi Hiratsuka's words and deeds like an ordinary girl, the more complicated and indescribable his feelings became.He didn't know where to start. He couldn't possibly start with "You are Chablis, right?"That was too abrupt.

However, Conan does kind of wonder how Izumi Hiratsuka will react after this question, will he pretend not to know anything about it?Or... what means will be taken against him directly?

When Conan hadn't figured out where to start, the atmosphere wouldn't be particularly awkward, because Izumi Hiratsuka kept stirring up the topic with ease.

"Does Kudo-kun want to ask me about the incident?"

"Eh?"

"Why are you surprised? Every time Kudo-kun pays the most attention to events, isn't it?"

There is nothing wrong with what he said, but this time he is paying attention to Izumi Hiratsuka.All the events that are connected around Izumi Hiratsuka.

"Speaking of which, for Kudo-kun, how does he view a murderer?"

Izumi Hiratsuka asked a slightly heavy question, and her expression became serious and serious along with the question.The penetrating eyes stared at Conan, and Conan could even see his own miniature in those two clear spring-like eyes.

"Why do you ask that all of a sudden?"

"Because I... am indeed the murderer." There was a pause in the middle of the words, as if he was burdened with guilt and couldn't let go of his guilt.Izumi Hiratsuka bit her lip when she said this, she was silent for a few seconds, and raised her eyebrows, "So I am very concerned about what Kudo-kun thinks of me... For detectives, crimes cannot be allowed Bar……"

Her tone was very light, as light as a feather brush, caressing Conan's heart one by one.

No one knows if Hiratsuka Izumi has something to say, or if she said... these words are really purely referring to her accidental shooting, shooting Takumi Takase to death, and the result was self-defense.

But if she has already guessed the overall situation, she can completely insinuate her words as the answers to those unrevealed mysteries.For example, she implied that she was the murderer who killed the three victims of human experiments.

"There must be no tolerance for crimes. For criminals, it is natural to let them accept the trial and sanctions of the law."

The words were firm, without any hesitation.He deserves to be an outstanding young man with many famous names such as "Heisei Holmes" and "Japanese Police Savior".

"It's very Kudo-kun's speech." Izumi Hiratsuka lowered her eyes, she held up the teacup and blew on the mouth of the cup, the fingers holding the teacup were too hard and her fingertips turned white, "The police said, I am legal. Defense. But I still feel that after such a thing, I will not dare to appear in front of Kudo-kun..."

Take retreat as advance, and suppress first if you want to advance.

There was still a slight tremor in her ending, as if the emotion she expressed was exactly the same as what she said in her words.Because of guilt, because of self-blame out of a sense of justice.

Of course, if she really has an impenetrable sense of justice.

Conan was silent.

The girl explained why she suddenly cut off contact after giving the medicine to Kudo Shinichi with a simple sentence.After all, compared to before, Izumi Hiratsuka has always been more active on her side.

For example, she took the initiative to bring up the dinner invitation at that time, and for example, after the rice flower building incident, Kudo Shinichi injured his foot, and she took the initiative to take care of it. Gratitude.

All her behaviors are so reasonable.As for those dirty and sinful things, it seems that they really have nothing to do with her.

Conan didn't touch the tea that Izumi Hiratsuka had poured for him. The fragrance of tea leaves diffused strongly in the air, mixed with the scent of jasmine from the freshener.It was obviously a soothing breath, but Conan couldn't relax at all.

He couldn't calm down to have a normal conversation with Izumi Hiratsuka, at least his detective heart chasing the truth, eager to uncover all the truth of the matter.

"Hiratsuka, I think you've changed a lot."

Going straight to the topic may cause the other party's resistance, so Conan went around in a circle, choosing to make side-steps, and then wait for the opportunity to go deeper.Before using this method, he was mentally prepared, and he must not be taken away by Izumi Hiratsuka.

Because from the contact these days after the reunion, he knows that Hiratsuka Izumi is a person who can read people's hearts and grasp the main theme in an instant.

"Well, Kudo-kun can see it." Hiratsuka Izumi didn't deny it, and readily affirmed Conan's statement, "However, there are more changes, isn't it Kudo-kun?"

It refers to his change from Kudo Shinichi to Conan.As far as appearance is concerned, it is indeed a world-changing change.

"Sorry, I shouldn't be making such jokes at this time."

Of course Hiratsuka Izumi is good at reading the air, she knew that she shouldn't make such a small joke right now, so she quickly added a sentence to give herself a step up.

Since he wanted to reminisce about the past with Izumi Hiratsuka, Conan began to search for the clips related to Izumi Hiratsuka in his middle school days in his memory.Only then did he realize that it was a big mistake for him to choose this topic, because his impression of the girl in front of him was almost zero.

He's not interested in cheerleaders, he's not interested in beautiful girls, and he's not a love brain, so how could he notice that football baby who yearned for him back then?

"Kudo-kun, don't force yourself. In fact, you don't remember the old me very much." Hiratsuka Izumi's indifferent tone expressed a bit of self-pity, her eyebrows were raised, and her eyes looked a little helpless, "Do you want to Say, how did I see through your thoughts?"

Conan was surprised.

That's right, she could clearly see her thoughts again.Although it is not the first time that his heart has been so clearly figured out, Conan still finds it incredible every time he is seen through.

Now, those incidents that have already lost several lives are connected with this girl who can see through people's hearts, and Conan only feels a chill down his spine.The gentler the girl's appearance, the more eerie he felt.

"In that case, Hiratsuka, why don't you take another look at what the question I want to ask is?"

Conan cast the question to Izumi Hiratsuka like throwing a bag of water, and he will do it if he retreats.Hiratsuka Izumi smiled, and she raised a hand to her lips, her movements were full of girlish and graceful gestures.

"What kind of joke is Kudo-kun, how can I see other people's thoughts. Just now, I just guessed right by chance."

Yeah?Was it really just a random guess?

In that case, she must have happened too many times.But that's right... what happened to Izumi Hiratsuka seemed to be a "just a coincidence".

"Because in the past, when I was in junior high school, Kudo-kun was never like this, he would keep his eyes on me for a long time." Hiratsuka Izumi said, catching Conan's gaze that had been staring at her for a long time, "Hey, look, isn't it right now?"

At the end of the sentence, Izumi Hiratsuka stretched out his index finger and tapped the tip of his nose, and then started from this point, turned his finger to one side, facing Conan who was sitting opposite him, and met his gaze.

This kind of subconscious behavior is really a bit embarrassing when it is taken out alone.Conan wanted to look away, but was firmly locked by the other party's translucent eyes.I wanted to turn away, but it was too late.

This guy... is really good at catching people's hearts.

"Okay, having said so much, the purpose of Kudo-kun looking for me this time is not these trivial problems." After finishing speaking, Izumi Hiratsuka put his teacup back on the coffee table, and then sat upright. Body, with the posture of a good student, with his hands folded on his lap, "You can ask any question you want, no matter how abrupt it is. As I said, as long as it is a question from Kudo-kun, I will answer it."

It's all said for this sake, and Conan also understands the meaning behind the words.What Izumi Hiratsuka meant was that she understood Conan's purpose of coming, and she was talking nonsense on the surface, just waiting for a clear and purposeful question from Conan.

It was as sharp as the question I asked that late at night in the living room of Dr. Ali's house.As long as she dares to ask, she dares to answer.

Conan concentrated, and said slowly: "Then... let's start with the medicine you gave me."

After making a fairly simple opening statement, Conan quickly organized his thoughts.He raised his eyes again to meet Hiratsuka Izumi's eyes, behind the glasses, there was his unique firmness and wisdom.

"The first time you injected me with drugs was the night I stayed at your house after the Kusuzu Sami incident, right?"

"Yeah." Hiratsuka Izumi didn't deny it.

"On the second day after this stay, Huiyuan disappeared inexplicably. The doctor couldn't find her location through the detective badge, and you easily found her in the Mihua Building. I don't doubt your ability, but that you can find Huiyuan. Yuan did not use normal methods, it was entirely because of the transmitter and listening device hidden in the rabbit puppet hanging on Huiyuan's schoolbag. The rabbit puppet was given to her by you, so hide the transmitter inside What is the purpose of the bug and the bug? Could it be that the Mihua Building was predicted?"

Having said that, Conan paused for a moment. He observed the expression of Izumi Hiratsuka. The clear and loud disclosure did not seem to make her look loose at all.

She still has that soft and beautiful appearance, and she is more like a listener than the person to whom the incident is directed.I was simply listening to Conan's narration, a combination of a large section of evidence and judgment.

Conan narrowed his eyes, and then said: "Because you knew from the beginning that Huiyuan would go to the Mihua Building. The rabbit puppet was deployed for this at the beginning, and you were the one who asked Huiyuan to go to the Mihua Building. Threatening Huiyuan's video is about me, and that video can only be done by you who left me at your house overnight."

Conan had actually thought of this long series of inferences a long time ago, but it dragged on for a long time in front of Izumi Hiratsuka himself.All kinds of "accidents" and "coincidences" happened, as well as Conan's soft heart for this girl, which made him entangled in the constant denial of his own speculation.

Izumi Hiratsuka still didn't speak, she listened quietly to Conan's description, and looked at the detective boy's question without any hesitation.

"Later, there was an explosion in the Mihua building. As for whether the explosion was related to you, I haven't found evidence yet, but the explosion is probably related to the organization. Qin Jiu was also there at the time, right?"

At that time, I saw Gin's favorite car in the parking lot, so Conan said so directly.He mentioned the names of organizations and gin because he didn't think Izumi Hiratsuka wouldn't understand them.Everything he said now is based on the premise that Izumi Hiratsuka is Chablis.

Izumi Hiratsuka's eyes still didn't fluctuate, neither was he surprised when he heard the name mentioned, nor did he appear confused because he didn't know the name of gin.Her emotions have always been perfectly controlled, at least no one can see her true attitude.

"The second time I was injected with drugs, I asked Police Officer Mu Mu to rescue us from the ruins of the Mihua Building, and then left the hospital to stay at my house. The needle hole on the elbow was discovered at noon the next day. I think What I don't understand is that after being rescued from the Mihua Building, to the hospital and finally back to my home, I was with you the whole time, how did you manage to carry the medicine?"

For example, the possibility of returning home to pick up medicine while he was asleep in the middle of the night must be zero, because Hiratsuka Izumi’s home is far away in Kabado-cho, and besides, there were no trams at that time.

"Back to the medicine, I believe what you said is the medicine that can keep my body recovering. But in contrast, this medicine itself is poison | medicine. Nagata Masaki, Kusuki Sami, and even Nishina who kidnapped you Jie, you should be familiar with these people, right?"

The cause of death of these people was exactly the same, and the police could not find out the result, but the drugs held by Izumi Hiratsuka could explain it well.Furthermore, even Huiyuan Ai proved that the drug has the same pharmacology as APTX4869.

"The medicine you hold should not only be the remaining two bottles for me. Those three people died of this medicine, and the only one who had the opportunity to administer the medicine is you. Masaki Nagata had a direct physical pull with you, Nishina Sousuke is the only one who has the opportunity to get close to you. In the case of Kusuzu Sami, you were with me when she died, so to do this, you must have accomplices. For example, Takase, who was shot and killed not long ago Tuoshi."

If Izumi Hiratsuka had an accomplice, then all the logic would be smoother.For example, regarding how she hid the medicine, she could have asked Takase to send it to her.

In the case of Takumi Takase's death, it seemed that he was acting in self-defense, but in fact, Izumi Hiratsuka might have done it to silence him, right?

From the beginning to the end, everything Hiratsuka Izumi touches is exquisite.If it hadn't been for some bold guesses, it would have been impossible to make this step.

Before Conan said the final conclusion, Izumi Hiratsuka was not at all nervous when her true face was exposed. Instead, she raised a gentle smile that was the same as usual.

The cherry-colored thin lips parted slightly: "Is it because of the coffee beans in Sister Zuomei's back kitchen that you thought of this step?"

The coffee beans on the soles of Takumi Takase's shoes are the only evidence that can prove that Takase is the person who appeared in the back kitchen of Kusuki Sami's restaurant.But this evidence has not been confirmed.

Conan never expected that Izumi Hiratsuka would mention this point. Facing the girl's shallow smile, Conan only felt that everything he said just now was under the control of the other party.

The hint of this sentence is like... She put that coffee bean on purpose.

Did he push something wrong again?It shouldn't be right... The inferences this time are all logical.

Which link went wrong again?

The author has something to say: I thought this chapter could reveal all the answers, but I found that the number of words is already too much, so let’s put down this chapter w

In fact, what Conan said is correct [If I didn’t show him the script

The amount of information in this chapter is also relatively large, which means that all the foreshadowing of the previous 10W+ will be revealed at this moment [not yet finished
