Conan's other self

The owner of the wallet with the photo on it is a young woman, Danno Yoriko, who used to teach elementary school students how to ring a bell.

The owner of the wallet with the driver's license was the middle-aged man they had just met, Benzaki Kiruhei.

The owner of the red wallet was the old man on crutches who told them to take the lottery home with them during the lottery, Sakamaki Shigemori.

The Megure Police Department did not directly inform them of the case, but first asked them to see if they had three blackened five-yen coins on their bodies, but all three of them found them.

As a result, there was no way to find the prisoner directly. After informing them of the case, the Mumu Police Department went straight to the point: "We speculate that the murderer is among you."

"Among us?"

"How, how is it possible?"

"Are we all victims?"

"In short, please allow us to search you and check your belongings and mobile phones. Of course, this is voluntary, and you can refuse..."

"But there will be all kinds of troubles after refusing, so if possible..."

Megure Police Department and Officer Takagi each spoke one sentence at a time.

"I got it!" Ms. Duan Ye was a little impatient, "You can check it as much as you want! But I have oily skin and my phone is sticky, so you have to be patient."

"..." Judy was slightly distracted.

"Hmm? Teacher Judy, did you find anything?" Conan asked.

"No, I just thought of the man in the video you sent me. Didn't he deliberately drop his phone and let those people pick it up just to find out the organization members lurking in the hospital?" Judy replied. In fact, he was like this at the time It was Conan himself who did it. "The man I picked up at first seemed to have oily skin. It turned out that the second one I picked up was a spy. The last one was an old man with a pacemaker... and then Shuichi was holding that mobile phone..."

Feng Yuan glanced at Judy speechlessly.

You are so eloquent...

That's why I have to hide Akai Shuichi's fake death from you...

"I said, that thing has nothing to do with this case, right?" Conan quickly reminded Judy.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I was a little shaken after knowing that the man who was burned was not Shuichi..."

"..."

"Then what?" Judy asked the doctor, "Is there the murderer you saw among the three people?"

"Well... although the old man on crutches is suspicious, the murderer was holding a slender stick of about thirty centimeters and did not use a cane." The doctor recalled the scene at that time. "The hat the murderer wore was not the old man's peaked cap. , nor the young lady’s knitted hat, which looked like a hiking hat. Nor was it as bad as the middle-aged man’s cough.”

"But maybe he was just pretending to have a cold." Haibara Ai looked at Mr. Benizaki, who had been coughing during the examination.

"That's impossible." Conan disagreed. "That uncle doesn't know that we know the doctor. There is no need to pretend to have a cold in front of us."

"How does it look like walking?" Judy asked next.

"Well... the old man seems to have a little drag on his legs and feet, but he shouldn't be able to stand without crutches." The doctor noticed that the old man had to sit on the ground while the crutches were being checked. "Both the young lady and the middle-aged man have no legs or feet. It seems inconvenient."

"Having trouble with your legs and feet?" Fengyuan asked.

"By the way, you were not here when the doctor said this," Conan explained. "The prisoner was dragging one leg when he left..."

"That's it..." Feng Yuan nodded and glanced at the legs and feet of the three people, "Speaking of which, is that person's trousers pulled too low?"

"ah?"

"If you seem to have difficulty moving, it's not necessarily because of inconvenience in your legs and feet, right?" Fengyuan turned to look at the doctor, "It might also be because of inappropriate shoes or something..."

"This...I didn't see it clearly either..."

"They don't seem to have checked their shoes," Maplehara said and walked towards Officer Takagi. "Should we remind them to take a look?"

"Shoes..." Conan held his chin in thought and seemed to have thought of something. He turned to look at Ayumi and the others, "Hey, when you met that sister, did she do anything suspicious?"

…

After a while.

"Do you still need to check?"

"Just checking your shoes again," Officer Takagi explained, "It'll be over soon..."

"You have already checked it out just now, right?" Ms. Duan Ye argued, "We have been very cooperative -"

"I'm really sorry, I just checked and missed something..."

"I don't have time to accompany you here..."

"It's just for a look anyway, right?" Mr. Sakamaki, who was leaning on a cane, said, "I don't have any objection..."

Mr. Benzaki coughed twice more and showed no intention of refusing.

Just taking a look at the shoes was nothing compared to the previous search for belongings, but Ms. Duanye showed a completely different attitude and seemed a little resistant.

This made Megure Police Department and Officer Takagi immediately suspicious.

Under this situation, Ms. Danno did not continue to insist, but silently allowed Officer Takagi to lift up her trouser legs covering her shoes.

The shoelaces were exposed.

"Blood, blood stains!" Officer Takagi was a little surprised.

There were still obvious mottled blood stains on the white shoelaces that seemed to have been wiped.

"Miss Duanye, what's going on?" Police Department Megure asked seriously.

"What? Do you think shoelaces can be used to kill someone?"

"This, this is..." The Mumu Police Department was a little confused.

According to Dr. Ali, the deceased was beaten to death with a stick, and the wounds on the head of the deceased also proved this.

And just two minutes ago, the police officers searching nearby had reported that no murder weapon was found.

But these bloodstains…

"Of course you can't beat someone to death with shoelaces."

The doctor's voice suddenly came from the side. The doctor subconsciously glanced at Conan behind him and quickly turned around to lip-sync, "After all, this is only part of the murder weapon."

"A-part of it?"

"Well, yes. The murderer tied the murder weapon with shoelaces."

"Tie, tie?"

"Isn't the murder weapon Dr. Agasa saw a stick?" Judy asked the question that both Megure Police Department and Officer Takagi wanted to ask, "What are you going to tie up?"

"Instead of tying one thing, I tied a large number of something together. Then I hid it in a place where it would not be suspected even if it was discovered, and cleverly concealed it by striking up a conversation with the children..."

"Ah? Us?" The primary school students were a little surprised.

"We met eldest sister..." Bu Meimei pointed to her chin and recalled, "It was at the place where the bell was ringing..."

"But there are only two bells?"

"Did you do something before ringing the bell?" Fengyuan reminded.

"Ah! It's incense money!"

"I threw a five-yen coin in!"

"Throw it into the merit box!"

"Yes, it expresses the hope of forming a good relationship. So the merit box is almost full of five-yen coins with a hole in the middle."

"I see," Haibara Ai suddenly realized, "if you tie the coins with shoelaces and tie them into a bundle, they will become a long and thin stick. Then you just need to throw them into the merit box and mix them with other five-yen coins. , and would not arouse suspicion, thus hiding it from the eyes of the police who were looking for the slender metal rod.”

"However, to form a 30 centimeter-long stick, you need at least two hundred coins." Officer Takagi said.

"Also, if you put so many coins into the merit box at once, it will definitely attract the attention of the people around you."

"That's why she talks to the children," Conan continued in a doctor's voice, "If she doesn't ring the bell very loudly, the gods won't be able to hear her."

"right!"

"That's what the sister said!"

"Ms. Danno Yoriko, use the loud noise of the rattle to cover up the sound of throwing in a large number of coins at once. Untie one end of the rope that binds the coins, and let the other end hang down into the merit box. A large number of coins can be put in at once. Instantly fell into the box.”

"..."

"The reason you didn't leave the scene quickly was because there was no lace on one of your shoes. If you walked at a normal speed, the shoe would fall off. After ringing the bell, even though you put the laces back on..."

Conan didn't say any more, it was no longer necessary.

The blood stains on Miss Duan Ye's shoes were evidence, and she just tried to struggle.

There was a brief silence.

"But why did she bring the extra black five-yen coin?" Police Department Megure was a little puzzled. After asking, he looked at Ms. Danno, "The black five-yen coin placed next to the body, Wasn't it the one that Kurobei put in your pocket after the theft this time?"

"Those are for you to see." Ms. Danno looked a little angry, "Place next to the body is the five-yen coin that was put in my pocket when it was stolen last year... and took away my son's life! "

"Son, son?"

"Could it be the sticker in your wallet..."

"Well, yes. My car keys were in the wallet that was stolen last year. Because the keys were stolen, my asthmatic son was locked in the car for several hours. By the time he got to the hospital, it was too late. So I I was desperately researching the places where the pickpocket frequented on the Internet, planning to ambush her and attack her."

"But why do you need to enlarge the sticker?" Officer Takagi asked her, "If it weren't for that, we wouldn't have found it was your wallet."

"As soon as you open the wallet, you will see that photo sticker at the first glance, right? I posted it just for the pickpocket to see. Let her know that she stole not only a wallet, but also the life of a little boy!"

"..."

The case is over.

Ms. Duan Ye was taken away, and the remaining two suspects were about to say goodbye and leave. The Memu Police Department reminded them to record statements another day.

Conan looked at Mr. Benizaki.

"Excuse me, uncle, is your eyesight not very good?"

"Ah? Why?"

"Because that pickpocket aunt was shocked when she saw my uncle's face. That must be because she stole your relationship not long ago, right? Why didn't you say anything at that time? You should have seen it for the second time. Have you reached that auntie?"

"Y-yeah...you're right, my eyesight is not very good."

"If you have poor eyesight, how can you see the cherry blossoms without wearing glasses?"

"Did you come to see the cherry blossoms alone?"

Genta and Mitsuhiko asked one sentence at a time.

"Actually, I'm here to buy amulets..."

"What amulet is it?" Ayumi asked curiously.

"Is this an amulet for me?" As they spoke, a pregnant woman holding a sun umbrella walked towards them from the crowd.

"S-Soe?" Mr. Benzaki was stunned for a moment.

"Is it for this child?" The pregnant woman named Su Jiang gently touched her bulging belly.

"That's right, it's for the sake of the baby."

"It's a talisman for a smooth delivery."

The primary school students were stunned.

"Didn't I tell you to stay at home?" Mr. Benizaki looked worried.

"I was worried because you didn't come back for so long, so I came over to take a look."

"Are you the one..." Judy couldn't help but say, "The one who put up tape during the bank robbery..."

"Oh, it's that foreigner from that time. Sorry, I was also coerced... uh... ugh..."

Ms. Haye covered her mouth mid-sentence, looking like she was about to vomit. It seemed that because she was very uncomfortable, it was difficult for her to maintain her balance for a while, and she fell straight towards Judy.

Judy quickly supported her, "Are you okay?"

Feng Yuan also helped him out.

But she didn't look like she was okay. Mr. Benizaki quickly supported her and prepared to leave. He looked back at the Megure Police Department and said, "I'm sorry, my wife is not feeling well. Can I go back first?"

"Okay." Police Department Memu nodded in agreement.

The couple just left.

Morning sickness?…

Haiyuan Ai watched the couple leave, "Shouldn't morning sickness be a symptom of early pregnancy?"

"Well," Fengyuan replied, "Looking at that size, she should be more than six months pregnant..."

"But there could also be other reasons for vomiting."

Conan casually helped the other party find an explanation, and then noticed Feng Yuan taking out a pair of headphones, "Hey, hey, could you be..."

"Yes." Fengyuan put an earphone into his ear and hesitated slightly.

Conan had already extended his hand to him unceremoniously, as if he wanted to listen. Haiyuan Ai, who was standing on his right, did not reach out, but just tilted his head towards him.

Feng Yuan blinked, and then, under Conan's disdainful gaze, he picked up the other earphone and helped Hai Yuan Ai put it on without changing his expression.

His hesitation just now was not originally about choosing one of the two.

…

"What an unexpected accident."

In a car, Ms. Su Jiang was sitting in the passenger seat. “The man who was acting as a template was actually pickpocketed.”

"I'm also curious why he didn't bring his wallet." The driver was Mr. Benzaki, but his voice was no longer hoarse. "Fortunately, I took the three black coins in his arms."

"But why do you have to return the wallet to him specifically?"

In order to return the wallet to "him" who was sleeping under the cherry blossom tree, they not only wasted some time but also almost attracted others' attention.

"Because if he finds out that his wallet is missing, it will be very troublesome if he starts yelling again. There are also bank cards and driver's license in the wallet."

"You have to thank me. When you were grabbed by that FBI kitten's arm, I put the bug in her sleeve and safely recovered it for you."

As she spoke, she pressed somewhere on her abdomen, and the bulging belly of the pregnant woman instantly flattened out like a deflated balloon. Then she pinched the skin under her left earlobe with her right hand and tore it open.

Belmode raised his hair slightly.

"Then what?" She also returned to her original voice, "Did you hear anything from that kitten?"

"Yes. It's been quite rewarding." The man who looked like Mr. Benzaki chose to tear off the disguise starting from the neck, and then revealed Toru Amuro's face, "I unexpectedly heard the inside information."

"You will tell me the content of this news, right?"

"Yes, after I get conclusive evidence. But I have to say first, that is an extraordinary man. I am talking about that boy."

He was obviously referring to Edogawa Conan.

Belmore glanced sideways at Amuro, with a half-smiling look on his face, "Oh? Is it just that?"

This way he won't think about Kudo Shinichi...

Toru Amuro was stunned for a moment, "Are you talking about the child who is said to be his twin brother? I haven't seen it yet. If I have a chance..."

"Don't forget our agreement." Belmore didn't seem to want to continue talking about this topic, his eyes drifted out of the car window, "Put me down at the intersection in front, my car is nearby."

Toru Amuro stopped the car steadily.

Bellmore got up and got out of the car.

"By the way, I almost forgot to mention it," Belmore held the car door and looked at Toru Amuro, "I drew a good lottery for you, didn't I?"

Help me draw lots... Can you also help me draw lots?

Toru Amuro did not dwell on this point, but looked at Belmode with narrowed eyes and raised his eyebrows.

"Oh? Really? What is the signature?"

"Ferocious." Belmore said casually, waved his hand, closed the car door, and walked towards his car in the alley.

Oops...can this be considered a good sign?

This woman seems to have something in her words...

Toru Amuro watched Belmore disappear from his sight before driving away.

On the other hand, Bellmore had to go back to his car, point his index finger to his chin and think for a while before taking out a piece of paper.

"Secrets will be revealed..."

"secret…"

She murmured for a while, seemed to think of something, stretched out her hands to fumble around her body, and then was slightly startled.

From the inside of the pleats of her skirt, she tore off something like a sticker.

A tiny device is firmly attached to the back of the sticker.

"Micro bug..."

Belmore stared at the bug for a while, then chuckled softly.

She is very happy.

Really happy.

Then she put the bug to her lips and whispered to her: "Cool guy, I'm going to crush it..."

Snapped.

"I'm really looking forward to the day when my heart will be penetrated by you..."

…

In the doctor's car, Feng Yuan was holding the headphones he had just taken off from Hai Yuan Ai's ears.

After thinking for a moment, he clicked on the recording on his phone, and then handed the phone and earphones directly to Conan who couldn't wait.

Then he looked at Haihara Ai, who was silent at the side.

Hui Yuan Ai lowered his head and clenched his hands tightly into fists.

…This was the reason why he hesitated before.

The primary school students were still chatting and didn't pay attention. Feng Yuan gently held Hui Yuan Ai's hand and squeezed it before she came back to her senses.

Feng Yuan tried to spread her softened hand, trying to put his fingers between her fingers.

Haiyuan Ai allowed Feng Yuan to operate, and just stared blankly into Feng Yuan's eyes. The familiar soft gaze calmed her down.

"I know what you are thinking..." Feng Yuan blinked.

Hui Yuan Ai bit her lip lightly.

She was not afraid that Belmode and another member of the organization had just appeared. What she was afraid of was that the "radar" she had always relied on for survival would not respond.

If you lose this...

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw the person in front of her smiling confidently and brightly at her.

This made her heart stop for half a beat, and the previous signature appeared in her mind.

There is no fear of failure or results in your mind, just keep your head high and work hard towards achieving your goals...

"But don't worry," Fengyuan continued, "I can give you a very reasonable explanation."
