Conan's other self

"The call just now was from Mr. Judy from the FBI, right?"

After Fengyuan and Conan finished answering the phone together, Haiyuan Ai approached Fengyuan and asked questions.

There were not many people who would call Maplehara, and Conan would want to listen to the call together. The phone call was obviously about things related to those people.

Teacher Judy has always been the main communication bridge between them.

So this is quite obvious.

"Yeah..." Fengyuan admitted honestly.

"Then what? What did you say?"

"It's nothing, and it's not convenient to say this now..."

"Ah, that means you will confess honestly when you return?"

"Forget it, guess it..."

"There's an incident!" Mitsuhiko's voice suddenly came, attracting the attention of everyone who was about to go home.

Following Mitsuhiko's gaze, they noticed that a primary school student of about the same age as them was quietly stuffing a commission letter into Genta's shoe cabinet.

The other party was also startled when he heard Mitsuhiko's voice.

Anyway, the Young Detective Team has a commission.

The client is Kaito Yamaura from Class A, the first grade next door.

His father is the landlord of a small apartment with three tenants. One of them acts suspiciously every night, so he hopes that the Junior Detective Team can investigate what that person is doing.

However, because he was going to play Reversi with his father tonight, he hoped that the young detective team would go over to investigate the next day.

This apartment is near the doctor's house, and Maplehara and Haibara Ai will pass by it on their way to school. Although it is old and small, it feels pretty good.

The next day, the young detective team arrived as scheduled.

But when they arrived, the apartment had been burned to rubble.

It can’t be because we invited the detective team...

Feng Yuan complained in his mind and observed.

The apartment was probably a wooden structure and had been burned very thoroughly. There were only some obvious scorch marks on the surrounding stone walls.

Not far away, there were several police officers who seemed to be investigating clues nearby.

Ayumi and others were a little worried about Kairen's situation.

"Really, really or not? They were all burned by fire!"

"how come…"

"So," Haiyuan Ai recalled, "I seemed to have heard a siren in the middle of the night last night...but I never thought it would be here..."

It is worth mentioning that Feng Yuan told her that Rena Mizuna had regained her trust. She didn't pay much attention to it, but she stayed up late last night because she was developing an antidote, so she heard it very clearly.

Because the sound of the siren was very close, Maplehara was also woken up.

However, police sirens were not a rare thing in Mihua, and there was the sound of fire trucks, so he thought there might just be a fire somewhere, so he didn't pay attention...

I didn't expect it to be here.

"So, how is the child yesterday..." Tears of worry brewed in Ayumi's eyes, "How is he doing?"

"C-Is it in the fire..." Mitsuhiko was also in a low mood.

"No, that kid called Kairen is fine."

The police officer that Maplehara noticed before obviously also noticed them surrounding the ruins and walked over. This was the Yumaga Police Department that Maplehara and Conan had seen before in an incident.

"Although I was slightly burned," Police Yumaga said, "but he was rescued by firefighters and is now lying in the hospital..."

"Very good!"

"Then what? Did anyone die in the fire?"

"Fortunately, there are no dead people. Kairen's father was seriously injured and is now in the intensive care unit, almost dying..."

"Where are the others? What about the child, his family and the tenants?"

"The child's mother happened to be traveling with friends. I just called the hotel where they were staying. She was shocked and said she was flying to the hospital right away..."

"Subsequently, there were three tenants in total," Gongchang Police Department continued to describe the situation. "They all happened to be out when the fire broke out and came back in the morning..."

"Out?" Conan asked, "Didn't it happen in the middle of the night?"

"Yes...it was around 2:30 this morning..." Police Chief Gongzhang replied, "But those three people are not children anymore. It's not strange to go out in the middle of the night and come back in the morning..."

"Did one of those three people set the fire?" Genta asked.

"What?" Police Chief Gong was a little surprised.

"I told you yesterday!" Ayumi explained to him, "One of the three people behaves strangely at night!"

"What a strange method?"

"I don't know!" Yuantai said, "We came here just to confirm this today, and it ended up like this!"

Gongchang Police Department thought that the elementary school students knew something, so he quickly ordered his men behind him to bring the three people not far away.

Feng Yuan quietly moved a step in front of Hui Yuan Ai. Hui Yuan Ai was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to ask what was wrong, his body suddenly froze slightly.

A gaze whose source she couldn't tell fell on her.

It was a sight like catching prey, and the strong pressure made her stomach twitch into a ball.

Hui Yuan Ai subconsciously grabbed Feng Yuan's arm, put her other hand on his shoulder, and hid behind him.

The primary school students looked at her with some curiosity and worry.

Hui Yuan's thoughts are complicated.

If you are discovered and the other party directly chooses to take action here, then the people around you may be in danger...

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Feng Yuan comforted.

As his words fell, Haihara Ai felt that the strong sense of oppression suddenly disappeared, which made her a little confused for a moment.

The sense of oppression disappeared, and Haihara Ai became a little more awake. Over there, Gongchang Police Department handed the three people over to his subordinates, asked them to answer a few questions from the police, and then walked back.

"Then what?" Police Gongchang asked, "Which one of these three people is it? That suspicious guy..."

"We told you we didn't know!"

"We're just here to ask questions!"

"What...why didn't you tell me earlier..."

"Who are those three people?" Conan asked.

"Ah, starting from the right," Police Yumaga looked back at the three people, "in order, Mr. Ryuhei Hosoi, a carpenter, Mr. Subaru Okiya, a university graduate student, and Mr. Ginya Makabe, a freelancer..."

While listening to the police officer Yumaga's introduction, Fengyuan whispered to Haibara, "Haibara?"

"Eh?" Hui Yuan Ai, who was carefully looking over there, was slightly stunned.

"Let me take the glasses from my pocket."

Only then did Haiyuan Ai realize that she was still holding Feng Yuan's arm tightly.

There were elementary school students around her, so she quickly let go of her hand, and then saw Feng Yuan take out the tracking glasses and put them on.

It should be that the telescope function is turned on.

Is Kudo also observing those three people...

"Gongzhang Police Department!" At this time, a police officer came out of the ruins, holding a notebook that was still intact, "I found this in the ruins of the fire!"

"Isn't this Kairen's diary?" Police Chief Gong took it and took a look at it, "Did it write anything related to the fire?"

Maplehara took off his glasses, withdrew his gaze, and together with Conan and the other elementary school students, focused their attention on Police Yumaga who was watching and reading.

"The last page is October 5th, was it yesterday? The weather was nasty early this morning...but I must go to school early...The red person can probably sleep in...Who is this red person?"

"Please continue reading," his man said.

Gong Chang, the police officer, responded to the good news: "I fell down in the entrance hall after returning from school. When the white man was about to go out...it was really great.

The red people, the white people, and the yellow people are all going out tonight... and they can stay together with dad.

I want dad to play with me for a while...but the detective team is coming tomorrow, so I'd better go to bed early...Who is it? Someone came back in the middle of the night...quarreling with dad...it was a pornographic person..."

Police Chief Gong's expression changed slightly, and he realized that this was crucial information. He paused, and then he continued to read.

"Did dad find out about the strange things he did? It's so scary. Plug your ears and go to sleep... When you wake up, you can tell Edogawa classmates about this..."

"Then it must be the yellow guy who set the fire!"

"Yes! You must be lying when you say you came back in the morning!"

Genta and Mitsuhiko each gave their judgment one sentence at a time.

"But, you guys..." Police Chief Gong glanced back at the three people who were still being questioned by his subordinates, "Who is that yellow guy...?"

The primary school students were stunned for a moment.

Conan also started thinking.

Kairen's diary highlights a person who has a strong sense of confidentiality and looks very much like the Riddler. Kairen has not yet regained consciousness, so it is inconvenient to ask him directly. The Young Detective Team doesn't know Kairen very well either.

There are still too few clues now...

Conan was thinking this and heard a familiar voice say:

"Is it Makabe Ginya-san?"

"Ah?" Conan looked at Fengyuan in surprise. This is too fast!

"Why?" The primary school students were also a little curious.

Haiyuan Ai also retracted her peek at the three people over there and looked at Fengyuan.

"Have Kairen told you?" Police Chief Gong asked.

"No," Maplehara said, "It's because Mr. Makabe has been peeking at the ruins of the apartment."

"Um?"

"When this uncle was investigating the scene just now," Fengyuan glanced at the police officer who had just retrieved the diary, "Mr. Makabe had been quietly staring... He was relieved when the uncle came back..."

"I think there must be something he cares about but doesn't want to be discovered, right?" Fengyuan continued, "Kai Ren also said that yellow people do strange things every night. If you observe carefully, you can see I saw a lot of dirt between Mr. Makabe’s nails..."

Police Chief Gongzhang glanced back.

The three people were not far away, and he could faintly see that Makabe Ginya's fingernails seemed dirty. So he glanced at the subordinate next to him. The other person immediately understood and walked over there to confirm secretly.

"So," Fengyuan looked at the ruins, "I think he probably digs something in the yard every night... There must be something buried there..."

Being in Mihua, the Gongchang Police Department's first reaction was that the man must have buried the body in the yard, so he quickly ordered his men to go to the yard to see if there were any traces of excavation.

He deliberately did not hide this from the three people, but under the gaze of everyone, Makabe Ginya's face suddenly changed, and he subconsciously opened his mouth to try to stop, "Don't, don't..."

"Huh?" Police Chief Gong narrowed his eyes and gathered momentum.

"Ah! It really is!"

"Fengyuan, you are so awesome!"

"It's just a coincidence...I'm lucky, I happened to see it..."

Here Maplehara remained humble despite Conan's dead eyes, but under the pressure of the Gongchang Police Department, seeing that he could no longer keep it secret, Makabe Gin also started to confess dejectedly.

"That's cash..."

"Huh? Isn't it a corpse?"

"Corpse, corpse!" Makabe Yin was also a little shocked and quickly explained, "No! It's two suitcases of cash, about 200 million..."

"Two, two hundred million?!"

"You buried so much money there?" Gongchang Police Department was also a little shocked. He quickly recalled whether the losses in the recent bank robberies could match the amount. "Did you rob Mihua Bank?"

"Robbing a bank? No! The money is made from stock trading!"

"ah?"

"I have been doing T+0 trading and figured out a great trading system... Because I don't want to pay taxes, so every time I make about one million or so, I take the cash out of the bank and bury it in the yard..."

Makabe Gin also continued to explain, "When I came back from watching a movie in the middle of the night, the landlord was waiting at the door of my room with the two boxes and kept asking me what happened to the money. I got excited and pushed him. Just rolled down the stairs and stopped moving..."

"Then what? You set fire to escape because you were afraid?"

"Well... I think fire can make everything come back... Of course, I buried the box back... I planned to dig it out later..."

"Are you kidding! Do it again?" Police Yumaga grabbed Makabe Ginya's collar, "Do you think you are playing a game? You let this apartment and all the related memories take decades to build. Became a coke overnight!”

"I…"

"Start over again? It's not that easy! The game of your life is far from over! Make up for everything you have done! Even the child who was implicated by you!"

After venting his anger, the Yumaga Police Department asked his men to take Makabe Ginya into the police car. He himself continued to direct his men to investigate the scene and find the two boxes of cash.

"Police department," after looking at Ayumi and others who were still very worried about the shooting, Maplehara said to the Yumaga police department, "If there is news about the shooting, can you tell us?"

"That's right! When Kairen recovers, let's go see him together!"

"Agree!"

The primary school students also expressed their wishes, and Gongchang Police Department naturally agreed happily, "No problem..."

"I really have to thank you this time..." Police Yumaga took out his mobile phone and wrote down Fengyuan's contact information, then looked at Conan who was still thinking about the diary next to him, "But, you kid from the Mori family, this diary You must return the diary to me..."

"Huh? Oh..." Conan reluctantly returned Kairen's diary.

"Conan, what are you looking at?" Ayumi asked.

"It's those colors...I still don't understand why Kairen calls Mr. Makabe a yellow person..."

According to Conan's own thinking, he must find clues from the diary, but in the end, Maplehara took a shortcut. Still curious, Conan couldn't let it go, so he borrowed the diary from Gongchang Police Department to continue thinking.

I just haven't figured it out yet...

"I think that's probably because drivers like toy cars."

A strange voice came from around them. The elementary school students looked over curiously and found that the speaker was the university graduate student Subaru Okiya.

Haibara Ai had also quietly stood behind Feng Yuan, carefully avoiding Okiya Subaru's sight.

Conan was stunned for a moment, and then an idea suddenly occurred to him.

"I only thought of it after knowing the result."

Okiya Subaru adjusted the thin-framed glasses he was wearing and looked at Maplehara. His eyes were squinting all the time, giving people a feeling that they could not open their eyes. "The driver should use the color of the vehicle to refer to us..."

"So Mr. Makabe is a yellow person!" Conan obviously figured it out, "Because most vehicle-type construction equipment is painted yellow, and he has been digging things secretly..."

"Ah! Is this also the reason why people call Mr. Hosoi white and Mr. Okiya red?" Mitsuhiko said.

"You call me the red person..." Subaru Okiya thought for a moment, "Maybe it's because I water the plants in the apartment every day, right? So the red fire truck... Mr. Hosoi is the white person probably because he Always carry a band-aid with you..."

"So it's a white ambulance..." Maplehara said.

Conan was a little depressed because the incident was resolved early, so he lost many key clues.

"But, big brother, you are so awesome!"

"Yes! I figured it out before Conan..."

"Heh, heh heh..."

"Because I like reasoning very much," Okiya Subaru said, "I like Sherlock Holmes very much..."

"Huh? Big brother, you also like Sherlock Holmes?"

"Yes, I have all my books, but they were all burned..."

Okiya Subaru looked at the ruins with nostalgia, and Maplehara urged the primary school students to leave now, "Okay, it's time for us to leave. Don't disturb the police officers' work, right?"

"good!"

"By the way! Since it's so close anyway, let's go to the doctor's house and play games for a while?" Yuantai suggested.

"Agree!"

"At that time, we can also just ask the doctor to take us to a hospital where the doctor is!"

"Doctor?" Subaru Okiya turned around, "Do you have a doctor among your friends?"

"Well, yes!"

"It is said that he is a doctor of engineering!" Mitsuhiko said.

"What a coincidence...I went to graduate school just to get a doctorate in engineering...Is his home nearby?"

"Yeah! Right over there!"

"Can I meet the doctor?"

"Yes!" Ayumi agreed happily, "We will take you there!"

"That's really great..."

The elementary school students actively led the way, and Subaru Okiya followed.

Haiyuan Ai looked at Fengyuan who had no special reaction, opened his mouth and then closed it again.

Kudo's attitude is a bit strange...

This place was not far from the doctor's house. Thinking that Feng Yuan had promised to tell him the reason when he got back, Hai Yuan Ai temporarily suppressed the confusion in his heart and followed him back in silence.

The doctor's house will soon arrive.

"Oh... a doctor from the Faculty of Engineering?" Dr. Agasa said to Subaru Okiya, "Will you become my competitor in the future?"

"No, no, I just continue to study because I like it...but your home is really spacious..."

"Yes," the doctor glanced at Fengyuan and Haiyuan Ai. Haiyuan Ai was still hiding behind Fengyuan, while Conan was playing games with the elementary school students in the living room, "But, these two children and I are the only ones living here..."

"Then, even if we add another tenant, it doesn't seem to be a problem..."

"Huh?" The doctor was stunned for a moment.

"Actually, the apartment I rented was burned down by fire... If possible, can you let me live here until I find a new place to live?"

"this…"

"Of course, I will serve as your research assistant, Doctor, in my free time."

"Really? But..."

The doctor looked at Feng Yuan and Hai Yuan Ai hesitantly, and noticed that Hai Yuan Ai looked a little nervous, so he didn't want to agree. And even though it was his own house, he still believed in Fengyuan's opinion.

"Then you want to live at Shinichi's brother's house?" Fengyuan asked.

Hui Yuan Ai looked at Feng Yuan in surprise. He couldn't help but hold Feng Yuan's arm with his hand, but then let go.

"Brother Shinichi?"

"Yeah! It's the one next door! I have the key to his house." Fengyuan said, "Shall I take you there?"

Maplehara and Okiya Subaru walked outside.

Haiyuan Ai looked at the two people leaving blankly, biting his lips.

"Doctor," Haihara Ai suddenly said, "do you think Kudo is normal today?"

"Huh? It seems not normal..."

Pulling out the chair, Hui Yuan Ai sat down, propped his chin with one hand and began to think.

On the other hand, as soon as he walked out of the doctor's house, Fengyuan received a call from the Gongchang Police Department and learned that Kairen had regained consciousness and that Kairen's father was out of danger.

But he planned to keep it under wraps for a few minutes before telling the pupils.

"Why do you live here?"

"I promised you..." Okiya Subaru looked at his residence for a while, "In exchange, I will protect her safety..."

This obviously refers to the exchange conditions obtained by Maplehara in order to lure Belmod out by himself when facing Belmod, and for Belmod to be dealt with by the other party.

But this obviously only refers to that full moon night...

It seems that he has confirmed the identity of Haiyuan Ai...

However, although he felt that he could protect Haiyuan well, he was just confident, not arrogant. If there was one more person to protect Haiyuan, Fengyuan would naturally not refuse.

"There's one more thing," Kaedehara handed the key to Okiya Subaru and reminded him by the way, "She's very keen... try to control her aura."

"good."

After the communication was completed, Fengyuan went back to the doctor's house to find Haiyuan Ai.

If no explanation is given, Haiyuan will be angry...

Haihara Ai was indeed a little angry.

When Feng Yuan returned, she was still sitting on the chair, but as soon as she saw him, Hai Yuan Ai stood up and walked to him aggressively.

Then she put her hands on her hips and stared into Fengyuan's eyes, getting very close. Feng Yuan could even feel her exhaling obviously because of her anger.

"Haiyuan..."

"He is Akai Shuichi, right?" Haihara Ai suddenly said.

"Eh?"

"As expected!"

"How did you know?"

"You trust him very much," Haihara Ai crossed his arms. "Last time I asked you why you trust Akai Shuichi. Although you didn't answer directly, you didn't deny it either..."

"Also," Haibara Ai continued, "Last time I felt a terrible aura, but it disappeared quickly... You later told me that the person was Akai Shuichi... It was the same today. However," Haibara Ai felt a little bit Puzzled, "Why is this?"

"I don't know either..."

Although he knew that this was because of the unscientific but inscrutable aura, Fengyuan didn't understand the principle of Haibara Ai's induction radar, so he really didn't know.

Haiyuan looked at Fengyuan suspiciously, "Then why are you telling me now?"

"I don't want him to know that you know who he is yet..."

"Ha, that's a good statement. It makes me feel better," Haiyuan Ai said, "Then what should I do next? Pretend that I don't know who he is? Do I need to continue to tremble?"

"...That's not necessary. We can just get along normally. I just reminded him to restrain his momentum..."

There was a brief silence.

Haiyuan looked at Fengyuan blankly for a while, then turned his head and looked away, and said softly in a very low voice: "Thank you."

"Don't say that... By the way! The Gongchang Police Department has already called me. It's time for us to go to the hospital..."

…

There are degrees of trust.

The same is true for Okiya Subaru.

It was as if he, Maplehara, and Conan had designed to pretend that he was killed by Reina Mizuno in order to help her gain Gin's trust, but he didn't tell his FBI colleagues.

After opening the door of Kudo Shin's house and walking in, Okiya Subaru did not directly visit his future living environment. Instead, he leaned gently against the door and took out an old mobile phone from his arms.

Clicking it open, there was a text message he had read countless times.

[Maharaja... If you can really leave the organization like this, would you please consider becoming my boyfriend this time? Akemi. 】

That kid is so smart...

He must have a way, right?

Really hope so…

He didn't know how long he had been watching before Subaru Okiya put away his phone and took a look at the environment in Kudo Shin's family.

"The dust is not as much as expected..."
