Conan's other self

In the rain, in the forest, two small figures stood together under an umbrella.

Feng Yuan went on to talk about what happened after he and Hai Yuan separated.

"Then, I asked him to take off his clothes quickly, and he quickly changed back. But we don't know what kind of antidote Conan took-"

He paused, obviously intending to ask.

Huihara Ai no longer listened quietly and unilaterally, but gave a timely response, "The kind that can last more than ten hours, no more than twenty hours at most."

"We didn't know that at the time... we thought it might be a short-lasting antidote, so we waited in that wooden house for a while while I took a break outside to prevent Conan from being discovered..."

Of course, the reason for hanging out was because I didn’t want to be in the same room with a naked Conan.

"After waiting for a while, he didn't change back, so we thought it was something that lasted a long time... So I went straight to find some clothes for him to wear on the other side of the cabin..."

The middle of the cabin is nailed with wooden boards, but you can climb in through the outside window. There is a hidden space where Yada Makoto used to dress up as a Shinigami.

Like his father who passed away three years ago, Yada Makoto dressed up as the Shinigami in order to scare the children in the village and prevent them from going deep into the forest, lest they get lost in the forest like what happened to his sister before. ,lost life.

This is also the reason why Fengyuan has a good impression of him.

"The walls of that cubicle were covered with photos and reports of Kudo Shinichi. Every photo was scratched to pieces with sharp knives, and the mirrors were all smashed..."

Maplehara recalled the scene in the room, "He hates Kudo Shinichi so much, but if he can't even bear the mirror...it means he also hates his own face..."

"So you said he had plastic surgery..." Haiyuan Ai suddenly realized, "People in the village also said that he had been missing for half a year, so he had plastic surgery during this time..."

"Yeah. I think he must still be pretending to have amnesia..."

"Yes, he was not wearing any clothes." Haiyuan Ai replied, "When we saw him, he only had a blanket on him."

He pretended to have amnesia so that he didn't have to answer questions from his companions who came with Kudo Shinichi. He didn't wear clothes because he couldn't predict what Kudo Shinichi would wear, and his voice was hoarse to cover up the difference in his voice.

"He locked me up," Maplehara said, "probably because he wanted to use Kudo Shinichi's identity to do something... probably because he wanted to destroy Kudo Shinichi's reputation..."

As for what Makoto Yada wants to do, we need to understand the specific situation there.

so…

"So, Miss Haibara Ai, the cutest girl in the world," Feng Yuan said, "can you tell me what happened over there?"

Hui Yuan Ai blushed slightly, rolled her eyes at Feng Yuan angrily, and then told him one by one the things and details that she had deliberately paid attention to and memorized along the way.

She spoke in detail, but skipped the details of the crime scene that he should still remember, and finally brought up the key points that she felt were important.

"...What concerns me the most is what the news reporter said to Yata before we left the Hihara family. Her words implied that she already knew Yata's plan, and she threatened him that if he didn't want to lose his reputation, he would Go and see yourself in private..."

Haibara Ai thought for a while, "At that time, I thought she was referring to Edogawa pretending to have amnesia. Now it seems that she may have recognized Yata..."

"That's not necessarily true," Maplehara said. "It's also possible that he really thought Kudo Shinichi was faking his amnesia. The reason why he said this was probably because he wanted to use a trick to get exclusive news... But in this way, Yata might also I thought she recognized myself..."

"Then...do you think Yata will attack her?"

"Well, it's very possible. There are words engraved on the table in the cabin, which says if you don't succeed, you will be successful. He is quite determined..."

It takes half a year to transform yourself into a different person, which is quite a determination...

Hui Yuan Ai complained in her heart, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Let's meet up with you guys first. I'm a little worried about leaving that guy by your side," Feng Yuan replied, "but before that I need to know how you helped explain the whereabouts of Conan and I..."

If he appeared directly in front of everyone, Conan's identity would be questioned, so he had to find out the situation first.

"Hattori said that you two took the train back to the doctor's house together because you didn't want Edogawa's cold to get worse - by the way, where are the others in Edogawa?"

Only then did Haibara Ai remember that there was Edogawa Conan who had not appeared.

"Right over there."

Feng Yuan pointed to the right side of the hotel. Hai Yuan Ai looked over, but did not see Conan.

"He is wearing the clothes of the God of Death. He is climbing on the tree and looking towards the hotel, where Xiaolan's room can be seen..."

"..."

"It's okay. Conan will sleep in that cabin for a while tonight, and he will also take care of dinner by himself. Before we came out, he even fiddled with the bonfire near the cabin..."

"As for me..." Fengyuan thought for a moment, "Can you please help call the doctor and ask him to pick me up?"

"Um."

Haiyuan Ai responded and walked directly towards the hotel, and then was pulled by Feng Yuan.

"Bring your umbrella with you..."

"...I don't want you to catch a cold and pass it on to me."

"I just stood under the tree, it's okay, and the rain has also become lighter," Fengyuan said, "But you, if you don't take the umbrella back, people will be suspicious."

Haiyuan Ai hesitated for a moment, then took the umbrella and ran back to call the doctor. After waiting for a while, Feng Yuan noticed that Hai Yuan Ai ran out holding an umbrella again, holding another umbrella in his hand.

"Don't worry," Haiyuan Ai said as soon as she walked to Fengyuan, "They are not in the hall... If the doctor can come quickly, maybe you can make it in time for dinner."

This place is not too far from Rice Flowers. A few dozen minutes later, Maplehara saw the doctor and his Scarab car arriving in a hurry. Haibara Ai pretended to have finished her walk and hurried back a few minutes ago, so as not to prepare for a meal. Everyone came out to look for her.

Maplehara briefly told the doctor about the situation.

"Oh...then what will I say later?"

"Well... I just said that I was worried about Haiyuan and didn't trust her, so I drove here..." Fengyuan said, "Thanks, doctor."

As for himself, he said that he came here with the doctor, and Conan said that he fell asleep early because of a cold.

Although he seems a little sorry for Conan, the doctor treats Haibara Ai like his own granddaughter, so there should be no problem with this excuse.

That's what Feng Yuan thinks.

until…

"Doctor! Why are you here?"

"Ah, that's it..." Dr. A Li touched his head sheepishly, "Xiao Kong was very worried about Xiao Ai and couldn't feel relieved, so he asked me to bring him back..."

"..."

…

Early the next morning.

Yada Makoto woke up early.

Kudo Shinichi's companions are still sleeping.

He gently opened the door, walked out, and then went straight to the hotel phone and called another hotel, which was the hotel where the Hanoi reporter was temporarily staying.

The call was quickly connected.

He used his identity as Kudo Shinichi to invite reporters from Hanoi to the village chief's home for detailed discussions. The other party seemed to think that he didn't want to talk on the phone and readily agreed.

He stood silently for a while.

When it was time for the reporters in Hanoi to set off, he walked towards the house of the head of the village of Nihara. He did not specifically avoid the gazes of the villagers...the hateful gazes only made him feel quite enjoyable...

Everyone hates Kudo Shinichi.

He insulted the Japanese village chief, whom everyone respected.

So I was right and it was all worth it…

Yada Makoto thought to himself, quietly watching the Kawachi reporter walk to the door of the Hihara village chief's house. The reporter from Kawachi didn't have a key and couldn't get in. Only then did Makoto Yada step forward and help open the door.

He is still pretending to be the amnesiac Kudo Shinichi.

This reporter seems to be talking about something...

But when he thought about what was going to happen next, he became a little distracted and didn't listen to what she was saying at all... He just wanted to end it all as soon as possible and see the scene he wanted to see as soon as possible...

How will the high school detective named Hattori Heiji, Kudo Shinichi's companion, conduct his own reasoning after learning that Kudo Shinichi committed a crime?

Will he cover up for Kudo Shinichi...

The Hanoi reporter stopped inside the house.

Makoto Yada took out a knife from his arms.

Then…

boom--

Something flew over and knocked the knife out of his hand.

"How, how--"

Makoto Yada looked over in surprise.

The reporter in Hanoi looked at the knife that was knocked away with some confusion, then at the shocked "Kudo Shinichi", and then looked at the place where the sound came from like the other person, with his head in a mess.

That is the god of death.

"I've been waiting here for a long time..."

Conan, who had the body of a high school student and wore the clothes of a Shinigami, slowly walked down the stairs, attracting their attention.

Fengyuan, who put his feet away on the side, resisted the desire to complain. The two of them actually only arrived a few minutes early.

After hearing the content of Makoto Yada's call, he rushed over directly with Conan who was waiting outside. Makoto Yada was delayed for a while because he was waiting for reporters in Hanoi.

The key was borrowed by Hattori and the police last night. They contacted the police department responsible for the case a year ago.

"You, you actually want to kill me! Kudo Shinichi..."

The reporter from Hanoi came to his senses again and remembered that his life seemed to be in danger, so he staggered back a few steps and looked at Makoto Yada in shock.

Yada Makoto didn't reply, but his expression changed the moment he saw "Death God", and he took out another pistol from his arms...

But just like before, just as he took out the gun, the pistol was knocked away by something again.

"Give up..." Conan came to Yada Makoto.

The pistol was shot down to the door. Makoto Yada turned around and wanted to run over to pick it up, but then a black hand appeared there, "Stop! The masquerade is over!"

"F-Masquerade?"

Reporters in Hanoi are a little confused about the current situation.

"Yes," Hattori Heiji picked up the pistol and looked at Yata, "Although it was interrupted before it could work, your trick... is your face! Because everyone thinks that high school detective Kudo Shinichi is He won’t kill anyone…”

"In that small wooden house, the photo of me on the wall was scratched into a mess, and there were several mirror fragments scattered on the floor," Conan said. "If someone hates me so much that he uses the photo to vent his anger, then smash the mirror." There is only one reason..."

"Yes, you have had plastic surgery, Mr. Makoto Yada!"

Conan, who was slowly pulling off the Shinigami's wig, almost stumbled and fell to the ground, because Kaedehara said the words just now in Kudo Shinichi's voice through a voice changer, and he pretended to be hoarse.

Fengyuan didn't want to see them continue talking nonsense, so he helped speed up the process and got straight to the point.

"K-Kudo Shinichi!" The Kawachi reporter looked at Conan's face in shock, and then looked at Yada Makoto, "Ma-Maito? Are you Hihara Makoto?"

"Yes," Hattori Heiji said, "Such plastic surgery requires both time and money. Mr. Makoto, who disappeared for half a year after inheriting a large inheritance, fits the criteria!"

"You want to kill Ms. Kawachi because of what she said to you yesterday," Fengyuan took over. Conan, who was a step behind, quickly helped lip-sync, "It made you think that she knew about your plastic surgery..."

"You, you..." The reporter in Hanoi continued to be shocked.

"You want to pretend to be me and commit a crime... intend to completely erase me from human society..." This is Conan.

"But it's just because of a misunderstanding. What happened a year ago was not what you thought it was..." This is Fengyuan.

"You still have the nerve to mention what happened a year ago!"

Yada Makoto pointed at Conan angrily, "You killed the Hihara village chief and his wife and robbed the property of a robbery and murder incident, but you said it was an idiotic reasoning that the Hihara village chief forced his family to commit suicide together - what on earth are you going to say? ?”

"That's true..."

"Haha? The criminal's shoes and weapon, the wife's gems and the expensive Nioh statue are all missing? The murderer must have escaped with them after the robbery!"

"Lake," Conan said, "The village chief of Nihara sank the murder weapon and gems into the lake after stabbing his wife to death..."

"What are you talking about!" Makoto Yada retorted, "This home is a full thirty meters away from the lake. If it were thrown into the lake, how could it not leave any footprints..."

"Not only are the murder weapons and gems missing, but the gold medal's rope and the ring of the ring are also missing."

"Ring?"

"It's a hammer throw. The village chief Hihara used to be a track and field athlete in track and field competitions. He used the Nioh statue as a weight and put it into a bag together with the weapon, shoes and gems. He used the loop of the ring as a handshake and tied it with a gold medal rope. On the bag! Then he threw it off the balcony into the lake with a hammer throwing motion!"

"How, how is it possible...and the resistance of the wind...how is it possible to throw it so far..."

"Just ask the police who were handling the case at the time... They won't hide it from you... The police found the bag, rope and noose from the lake."

Maplehara hid behind Conan and said, "There is the knife used as the murder weapon in the bag. Mrs. Hihara's blood was detected on the blade, and the fingerprints of the village chief Hihara were detected on the handle... He didn't want his son Dashu to die. I know, so I deliberately pretended to be a robbery and murder..."

"Lie, lie! How could the village chief kill his wife!"

Yada Makoto grabbed the Kawachi reporter's shoulder as if asking for help, completely forgetting that he just wanted to kill her, "Hey! You know that, right? The village chief's cancer is benign! He was told that it was cancer. Isn’t the motive of self-destruction nonsense?”

"Yes, that's it..."

Shocked by the huge amount of information, the reporter in Hanoi forgot for a moment that the man in front of him had just wanted to kill him, and subconsciously agreed.

"Look!" Makoto Yada looked at Conan as if grasping a life-saving straw, "That kind of ridiculous-"

"Other problems were discovered only after he was informed of his cancer..."

"ah?"

"The village chief Nihara always thought his blood type was type O...but the result of the test was type AB..."

As he said that, Conan also handed over a copy of the report, which Hattori Heiji got back overnight.

"Wait a minute!" Yada Makoto just glanced at it and then raised his head again, "Aren't the members of the Hihara Village Chief and his family all cheerful people with type O blood?"

"Yes...according to Mendel's genetic laws, type AB and type O cannot give birth to children with type O blood...so Dashu cannot be the biological son of the village chief of Japan..."

"How, how is it possible?"

"In order to prevent Dashu from knowing... so the motive for the murder was announced to be cancer... but then the uninformed nurse revealed that it was actually a benign tumor..."

"But, if that's the case, why don't you tell me! I'm also a member of this family!"

"I should have told you..." Maplehara replied, "I asked the police officer in charge at the time to tell you. Hattori helped confirm this with him last night..."

"W-when? Where did you tell me..."

"It was the night when the investigation ended, right here... The police officer also said that you were a little absent-minded at the time... Now it seems that you didn't listen at all..."

"Just like that... you didn't even hear Ms. Hanoi keep saying that you pretended to have amnesia for other purposes..."

Fengyuan put down the bow-tie voice changer and finished.

Makoto Yata collapsed on the ground in despair.

Everyone else remained silent.

Because there was an empty bullet box in the cabin, Maplehara also noticed that Makoto Yada was carrying a gun, and was worried that he would commit suicide after failure, so they chose to do this.

After all, this was just due to a misunderstanding, and Makoto Yata had already paid the price, so they decided to avoid the police, handle the matter alone, and give him a chance to surrender.

Of course, although Kudo Shinichi can forgive Yada Makoto for pretending to be Kudo Shinichi, he cannot decide for the Kawachi reporter whether to forgive him for wanting to kill her.

So they didn’t shy away from reporters in Hanoi.

However, the Hanoi reporter finally chose to forgive because a year ago her daughter was saved by Makoto Yada who was dressed as the god of death.

"Go and surrender," Maplehara picked up the bow-tie voice changer again, and Conan helped with the lip-syncing again, "In order not to cause trouble to me, please change your current face."

It's not that he feels awkward when the other person touches his face, but because his face may be dangerous to him and himself.

Yada Makoto nodded silently, then stood up, and went to surrender accompanied by Hattori Heiji and Kawachi reporters.

…

Because it was still a few hours before he changed back, Conan didn't just sneak back, but went to see Xiaolan.

However, he still needed to explain what had just happened and why he appeared here wearing such clothes, so Xiaolan's kiss as soon as she saw him did not happen as he imagined.

At this time, a group of them went to the hot spring here. Although they were not interested, Fengyuan and Haibara Ai followed.

Watching Xiaolan and "Kudo Shinichi" talking in front of her, Haibara Ai suddenly turned her head to look at Fengyuan, "Kudo..."

"What's wrong?"

"If...I said if..."

Haihara Ai looked away unnaturally, "The person I have always wanted to meet suddenly appeared in front of me, but in the end I lost my memory... What will you do?"

"Why do you ask this suddenly?" Fengyuan was a little surprised, "This seems like a question Xiaolan would ask..."

"Yeah, I'm really sorry," Haiyuan Ai said in a bad tone, "This is the question I plagiarized...don't you want to talk about it?"

"I don't want to say it, it's just a hypothesis anyway...let me think about it," Fengyuan thought for a moment, "Does that person like me?"

"...This has nothing to do with the problem."

"Of course it does matter. This determines my stance..."

Haiyuan Ai turned her head and stared at Fengyuan, then turned her head away and her eyes began to wander, "Then what if...that girl likes you very, very much..."

"That's troublesome..."

"ah?"

"In this case, you have to do everything possible to make her fall in love with you again." Fengyuan thought, "And if she never recovers her memory, you have to re-create the most cherished memories with her - you Woolen cloth?"

"Eh?"

"What if it was you who encountered this situation?"

"...Of course, whatever it is now, so be it." Haiyuan Ai snorted, "Also, I'm not like you, my mind is full of messy things...I just ask some strange questions..."

"Hey, it's obviously you who asked..."

"Really?" Haiyuan Ai quickened his pace, "Ah, I seem to have lost my memory... I don't remember what I just said..."
