Conan's other self

The night is already dark.

It's early morning now, and the night is dark.

However, the moon is as bright as yesterday, and one can't help but think that this month's full moon must also be very beautiful.

The doctor and Conan led the elementary school students out of the apartment building. After Conan went out, he approached Officer Takagi and said something, and then the group left the sight of Maplehara and Haibara Ai.

Feng Yuan stood in the building for a while and watched them leave before leaving the apartment building. Hai Yuan Ai followed him.

"Kudo..."

After leaving the apartment building, Haiyuan Ai looked around and didn't find the car he saw upstairs before. He was slightly relieved, "There was a car downstairs before..."

Haihara Ai was not actually sure that the car was following them, but she had an intuition. After a moment of hesitation, she still spoke.

"That car has been with us for a long time."

Haiyuan Ai was stunned for a moment, "You already knew this?"

"Well, on the way here, this car was following us. On the way, we waited for the red light at the intersection and waited until the green light turned yellow again before moving, but the car never responded."

Feng Yuan explained as he walked, "This is because they didn't want us to know their existence, so they didn't sound the horn to avoid attracting our attention."

This is a principle that the police will basically abide by during surveillance.

"..."

"But, it doesn't matter," Maplehara continued, "If nothing else happens, Officer Takagi is now interrogating the other party for staying near the crime scene for a long time. They will not follow us."

Conan is naturally in charge there.

Conan also wants to use Dr. Agasa's name to start reasoning about the case against the Megure Police Department after going to the police station.

Silence fell in the air.

Haiyuan Ai still had something to ask, but she didn't know how to ask for the time being, and she didn't think it was appropriate to say it outside, so she just followed Fengyuan silently through an alley, and then stopped in front of a black sports car.

This was obviously not the taxi that Feng Yuan told the elementary school students before, and that the doctor helped call. There was no light in the car, and the billboard next to it blocked the moonlight. Haihara Ai couldn't even see the person in the driver's seat for a while.

Before she even had time to think about why Fengyuan brought her here, Fengyuan opened the back seat door for her.

Anyway, Kudo will not harm himself...

Haiyuan Ai sat in without hesitation, then moved her body to the other side to make room for Feng Yuan. Only when Fengyuan sat next to her did she notice the person in the driver's seat.

"Xiao Ai!" The man turned around and greeted, "Are you surprised?"

"Yukiko...sister," Haibara Ai was indeed a little surprised, "but..."

"But I should be on the plane now?" Kudo Yukiko said, "It's all because of Xiaoxin! Really, this kid can summon people just like his father... I have no choice but to adjust my schedule..."

"Thanks…"

"Don't be so polite," he looked at Fengyuan through the rearview mirror, "How's it going over there?"

"Everything went well," Fengyuan glanced at the message he had just received on his phone. It was from Conan, "However, the car came directly to find us."

"Oh...then it's time for us to set off."

Kudo Yukiko said thoughtfully, then started the car and stepped on the accelerator, leaving the Toto Development Center in the night.

Hui Yuan Ai looked at Feng Yuan, somewhat confused about the current situation.

"We originally planned to separate after watching the movie," Fengyuan explained. "You and I will leave in a car. Conan and the doctor will send Ayumi and the others home... Let's see who the car will choose to follow..."

"But what I didn't expect was that you just went to someone else's house to sleep for a while and then you encountered a murder case," Kudo Yukiko took over, "So I borrowed a car again and came directly."

"Conan will find an excuse to ask Officer Takagi to check the car, and he will follow him. In this way, he can not only test those people, but also allow us to take this opportunity to get out of their sight...

And Conan just sent a message saying that the car did not follow him after being questioned, but came back to look for us. "

Maplehara briefly explained their new plan.

The other party's reaction meant that this car was not going to Conan, nor was it going to Kudo Yukiko who was supposed to have left Japan, but like the car yesterday, it was going to herself or Haibara Ai. of.

Haihara Ai obviously realized this.

After a moment of silence, Hui Yuan Ai raised his head and said, "I have been discovered by them...haven't I?"

The words obviously refer to the black organization.

"Xiao Ai..."

Kudo Yukiko glanced at Haibara Ai through the rearview mirror worriedly.

"Don't worry," Fengyuan said, "I think it's not them."

"Eh?"

Haibara looked at Fengyuan in a daze, and Kudo Yukiko was also a little surprised.

"Because their tracking is too...gentle," Fengyuan thought about his words, "This doesn't quite resemble the organization's style."

"And, remember that guy eating a burger in the car outside Uncle Mori's house this morning?"

"Is that also the person who monitors?" Hui Yuan Ai asked.

"Yeah." Maplehara said, "Conan had already mentioned that someone was spying on Uncle Mouri's house. Also, the name of the restaurant was printed on the wrapper of the burger that man ate. I know that restaurant... Before I came here, the doctor liked it very much. Eat takeout from that store...

However, that store was only open at night. Considering his mental state at that time, I think he should have been monitoring there all night and bought food in advance and kept it in the car..."

It was probably time to change shifts, so the man was a little relaxed.

"Then he is spying on Shinichi?" Kudo Yukiko asked.

"Probably not. Conan went out during the day yesterday and did not come back at night. If the other party has been monitoring him, there is no reason why he would not notice it. Since the other party knew that Conan was not around, he still kept monitoring him all night... I think he was monitoring him. Maybe Uncle Maori."

"Kogoro?" Kudo Yukiko looked even more confused, "Then what is there to monitor?"

"Officer Takagi told Conan a few days ago that the files on the cases handled by Uncle Maori were stolen and then returned... On the surface, this was an investigation of Uncle Maori, but Conan and I thought it was an attempt to Who brings it out...

This may be the reason why these people are staring at Uncle Maori, and if these people are the ones who were led out...then they may have a common enemy with us..."

Feng Yuan continued.

In fact, he deliberately missed several points in what he just said.

First of all, the tracking started a few days ago.

Secondly, he and Conan are ostensibly twins, and they only need to change their clothes and glasses to disguise each other, so even if the other person's target is him, he shouldn't just leave Conan alone...

This means that the matter is not just what he just told Haiyuan Ai, the other party is coming for him or Haiyuan Ai...

The other party's goal is very clear, it is for Haihara Ai.

…

Back at the doctor's house, Hui Yuan Ai took a shower and went to bed.

Although Fengyuan analyzed it, it was obvious that she was still worried.

"Xiaoxin," Kudo Yukiko watched Haibara Ai leave the living room, "I thought you would hide everything from her and protect her silently... That child is not as strong as he looks on the surface..."

Although, I still hid some things...

Thinking like this, Fengyuan said: "I know. However, in many cases, she is much stronger than others think..."

Listening to Feng Yuan's words, Kudo Yukiko stared at him for a long time, and then suddenly started to squeeze his face, "I didn't expect that, after not seeing each other for a while, Xiaoxin, you would be obsessed with other girls. Mom, I'm almost jealous..."

Maplehara struggled in cooperation, making Kudo Yukiko's teasing more pleasurable, and then changed the subject again in the way he had only used during the day, "Speaking of this, mom..."

"There is still something very important that I need your help with..."

Of course, he couldn't delay Kudo Yukiko's travel plan just to be picked up.

Even though it was not the right time to speak, he only said that, and Kudo Yukiko agreed without hesitation.

…

Conan on the other side, after confirming the other party's tracking target, went to the nearby police station and used Dr. Agasa's name to conduct a separate reasoning on the Megure Police Department.

The murderer is the developer Yoshihiko Negami.

In the messy crime scene, black tape was stuck to the table and many objects, and under the black tape, a little bit of fluorescent tape could be seen exposed.

This was meant to suppress light.

After turning off the lights, ordinary people cannot see the fluorescence immediately, but as long as their eyes get used to the darkness and stare at the area with the tape, they can notice small light spots.

Relying on the light spots and his familiarity with the objects at the scene, the murderer could move smoothly without hitting anything.

Negami Yoshihiko turned on the lights immediately after Conan turned off the lights, because he was worried that other people would get used to the dark and notice the light spots.

In order to accurately penetrate the heart of the deceased in the dark, Yoshihiko Negami also painted fluorescent materials on the buttons near the chest of the deceased. In order to avoid the police discovering his technique, he tore off the buttons and took them away.

Conan asked Dr. Ali to deliberately mention the buttons and make room to deceive him and ask him to put the buttons whose fluorescent material had been wiped off back into the room, so as to avoid being unable to find the buttons at the scene and causing the technique to be exposed. People can guess.

Fengyuan was not sure whether Conan's plan could succeed, but considering that this was the world of Ke Xue, he felt that it should not be a big problem.

Before that, in the night, the person in the black car, who had searched back and forth for several times but could not find the target, made a call.

On the other side of the phone was a man driving a black tool cart and wearing a knitted hat. It was Shuichi Akai.

"Really?" Akai Hide said as he drove the car, "I lost track..."

"Forget it, the clues are still there anyway, let's continue..."

And the prey is not hungry yet, nor is it in a hurry.

Akai Shuichi hung up the phone and then looked at a set of photos placed on the passenger seat.

The top photo is in front of Dongdu Film Studio. A little girl with brown hair is calling back to a little boy. The little boy is looking back at the camera, seemingly aware of it.

"It's really similar..."
