Conan's other self

When he finished this sentence, Maplehara deliberately imitated Mr. Yatsugoe's tone at that time.

His voice was not loud, but Megure Police Department and Officer Takagi still subconsciously turned their heads and looked at Maplehara and Conan in surprise.

If the two children in front of them were just ordinary children, the Megure Police Department and Officer Takagi would only think that they were causing trouble and would push them aside, but these two were not ordinary.

Difficult, could it be said...

Of course, before that——

"...It was Feng Yuan who said it just now." Conan pointed helplessly at Feng Yuan beside him, answering their confusion.

Normally it was not easy to distinguish him from Maplehara just by their tone of voice. Now Maplehara imitated someone else's tone, so Megure Police Department and Officer Takagi couldn't tell the difference for a while.

"X-Xiao Kong?"

"That sentence is?"

"It was said by the fat uncle, just after what he said just now." Fengyuan replied, "I was nearby at that time and happened to hear it. He specially lowered his voice and said these words... "

"Yes! Xiaokong, your hearing is very good..."

"I see, that's why you heard this sentence that was not clear in the video," Megure Police Department also showed a look of surprise, "So, Mr. Yatsugoe deliberately led Mr. Lianye to fall..."

"And he is Mr. Lian Ye's kite flying companion. Mr. Lian Ye will also listen to the guidance he gives..."

"But there's no evidence yet, right?" Conan questioned, "What a child says is not convincing, and Maplehara's situation is very special..."

In fact, Conan just noticed something was wrong from this video, but he didn't speak because he couldn't think of any evidence for a while.

"Yeah..." Megure Police Department agreed.

"But in this video taken by the organizer, other sounds are quite clear," Fengyuan glanced at the computer screen, "Although the uncle deliberately lowered his voice, it was not so low that it could not be recorded. . If this video is technically processed, it may be possible to amplify the sound and conduct voiceprint identification..."

Police Department Memu thought for a moment and touched his head, but he touched his hat. Then he asked Officer Takagi in a low voice: "Is there such a technology?"

"Y-should be there..." Officer Takagi wasn't sure either.

"I saw this on a TV show," Fengyuan continued, "And even if this doesn't work, you can still tell what he said before through the shape of his mouth, right?"

"ah?"

"Yes!" Conan suddenly realized, "That uncle's mouth just kept moving, and it looked like he was saying something..."

Hearing Conan's words, Officer Takagi quickly adjusted the picture to the time when he thought Mr. Yatsugoe was drinking water, and then continued to play the video.

If you observe carefully, Mr. Yagoshi does seem to be saying something in the video.

"A little to the left, back, and back again..."

Conan read it immediately.

However, even though Kaedehara could serve as a cover, there was no need for him to pretend to be an ordinary elementary school student, but lip reading for an elementary school student was still a bit too much, so Conan just recited silently in his mind without speaking.

"Send the video back to the Metropolitan Police Department quickly!" Megure Police Department ordered Officer Takagi.

"Yes!" Officer Takagi immediately started operating the computer.

Megure Police Department is a computer idiot. He didn't even know how to shut down his laptop before, so the matter of sending the video to the Metropolitan Police Department could only be handled by Officer Takagi.

Watching Officer Takagi send the email, Maplehara continued to add:

"Besides, when Mr. Lian Ye wakes up, we can just ask him directly to find out, right?"

"Yes, indeed..."

The Mumu Police Department nodded and called the hospital directly to inquire about Mr. Lianye's condition. Then they learned that Mr. Lianye was out of danger, but he had not yet woken up.

However, it was only a matter of time before Mr. Lian Ye woke up, so they were temporarily relieved about the evidence.

"But how did he guide Mr. Lian Ye?" After sending the email, Officer Takagi remembered that the case had not been completely clarified. "Although he was talking, he couldn't hear it from such a distance, right?"

Feng Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

I obviously already knew what Mr. Yagoshi was talking about at that time...

"Here," Maplehara stretched out his hand to open the video again, and then adjusted the picture back to when Officer Takagi felt that Mr. Yatsugoe was drinking a drink. "The drink bottle this uncle is holding is placed very low. And it’s still a little far away from the mouth…”

"What's going on?"

"It's difficult to drink the drink this way." Conan explained helpfully. "There is no straw in the bottle. And if you look carefully, this is actually an empty bottle with no drink in it..."

"Really, really!" Police Department Memu came closer to the screen and carefully observed the video footage, "What's going on?"

"Ah! I know!" Officer Takagi finally figured it out, "It's the microphone!"

"Microphone?" The Mu Mu Police Department was still puzzled.

"That's it," Officer Takagi explained, "As long as you tie the kite string to an empty drink bottle, you can make a simple phone call!"

Then he imitated again, "Then Mr. Yagoshi can pretend to drink a drink and give instructions to Mr. Renye - a little further to the left! Back! Like this!"

"This is probably why Mr. Lianye has been holding the empty drink bottle, right?" Fengyuan took over the conversation, "They probably agreed to use this method to communicate."

"You only need to think of a simple code in advance," Conan added, "for example, pull the kite string twice, and you can transmit the sound."

Only then did the Mumu Police Department show a look of surprise.

Many children have played with this communication technique, and Police Inspector Megure himself was no exception when he was a child. However, as he grows older, he doesn't remember much of this kind of thing.

In short, the modus operandi was thus clarified.

Because the hospital and the Metropolitan Police Department should be able to get the news back quickly, the Megure Police Department did not choose to show off directly with Mr. Yatsugoe, but temporarily kept him in the name of investigation.

Conan stayed with the Megure Police Department and Officer Takagi to wait for news, while Kaede Principle walked towards Haibara Ai.

Although Haibara Ai had no intention of coming over, he vaguely felt that Haibara, the doctor and others had something to do and had to wait for the case to end. Ayumi next to him also looked a little anxious.

"It seems that the case has been solved?" Haiyuan Ai said as he watched Fengyuan move closer.

By this time she had stopped listening to music.

"That's right..." Feng Yuan responded, "It's just that the evidence still needs to wait for a while. Conan wants to wait until it is completely over."

"Then do you mind helping us solve the case here?"

"Eh?" Fengyuan was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?"

"Yoshida's mobile phone was lost and we have never found it." Haibara Ai replied, "Xiaojima and Tsuburaya are now preparing to ask one by one."

If it weren't for the fact that Kudo and Edogawa were about to solve the case, she, Ayumi and the doctor would also follow suit.

"If we ask one by one, we might as well ask the organizer to make a broadcast," Feng Yuan said, looking at Ayumi, "Do you remember where you threw it?"

"Yes, remember!" Ayumi nodded, "I dropped my phone at the toilet door, but I don't know who picked it up."

"That temporary toilet...have you called me too?"

"Of course I called," the doctor replied helpfully, because he was the one who made the call. "After the first few rings, I was hung up. Then it seemed that the phone was shut down directly. No matter how I called, I couldn't get through."

Then he held his chin and thought for a moment, "Even if he wants to use GPS to locate the location, he can't do it without turning on the phone."

It seems to be a crime of embezzlement...

Thinking in his mind, Fengyuan then asked the doctor: "When was the first time you got through it?"

"Just after the ambulance drove away. The commotion made us forget about the mobile phone. Later, when we thought about it, Ayumi didn't want to delay you from solving the case because of this incident..."

"It's okay. Well, when the ambulance drove away," Fengyuan recalled a little, "By the way, Ayumi, did you just change the ringtone on your phone recently?"

"Yeah!" Ayumi nodded again, "I just changed it a few days ago."

"Is that this?"

As he said that, Fengyuan was about to hum a verse to confirm Ayumi's cell phone ringtone, and then he noticed that Ayumi quickly covered her ears as if she was stressed.

She also shouted: "No!"

"..."

Realizing something, Feng Yuan looked at Hai Yuan Ai and gave a somewhat helpless look.

The look in her eyes means: "You have already told Ayumi."

Haiyuan Ai immediately understood Fengyuan's meaning, and just snorted lightly and turned his head away, and even brushed the hair beside his ears.

The song that Bumi and others were very curious about was Feng Yuan's cover for Hai Yuan Ai and it was recorded.

I always feel a little embarrassed...

"Really," Fengyuan sighed and looked at Ayumi again, "I just want to confirm the ringtone of your mobile phone, Ayumi. In that case, why don't you sing it yourself?"

"oh…"

Ayumi released her hands covering her ears, and then hummed a short section of her cell phone ringtone with some embarrassment.

"It's ready." Feng Yuan said.

"It seems that the incident here has been resolved?" Huiyuan Ai looked at Fengyuan.

"Well," Fengyuan replied, "Conan and I were right next to the ambulance when it left, and I happened to hear a cell phone ringtone that only rang a few times before being hung up."

"Maplehara is so awesome!"

"Ah, Mr. Detective is really reliable."

Like Ayumi and Haibara Ai, the doctor also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Besides," Maplehara looked back at Conan, the others, and Mr. Yatsugoe who were still at the organizer's tent, "the prisoner is still the same."

The person who took away Ayumi's cell phone was also Mr. Yagoshi.

He was probably nervous because he was about to commit a crime. After tripping and falling, he stuffed Ayumi's cell phone into his pocket without even confirming whether it was his own cell phone.

Later, he chose to hide the matter because he did not want to attract the attention of the police. However, taking the wrong cell phone is not a big deal, and there are many excuses. Therefore, when Maplehara went to ask for Ayumi's cell phone for the reason he had heard, Mr. Yatsugoe returned the cell phone directly.

However, at this time, the Memu Police Department also received a call from the hospital and learned that Mr. Lian Ye had regained consciousness, so the two incidents were resolved together.

Mr. Yatsugoe indeed wanted to kill Mr. Nianye because of Mr. Kakura’s sister.

The case is over.

And the last incident——

Although Ayumi had learned the truth about the listening incident from Haihara Ai, she also chose to help keep the secret. So Conan and the others still didn't know the truth.

Back at the Maori Detective Agency, Conan asked Xiaolan about this matter.

"Eh? Is there a song that only girls like to listen to, but boys dislike?" Xiaolan looked at Conan, and then started thinking.

"Um…"

"Hush - be quiet!" Uncle Maori stared at the TV screen intently, "We are interviewing Miss Yoko now!"

Conan also turned his head and looked over, and the host's voice just came from the TV: "Now I want to play a VCR for Miss Yoko..."

"Huh? Who is who?" Okino Yoko asked curiously.

Immediately afterwards, the VCR was played simultaneously on the TV.

Appearing on the screen is Takasuke Higo of BIG Osaka.

"Huh? What kind of person do you like? Use famous people as examples?"

Higo Ryūsuke seemed to be also being interviewed, "It's nothing special. I often listen to that song during my breaks. I won't tell you whose song it is."

"Let me tell you!" Another player squeezed into the camera, "It's Ms. Okino Yoko's new song, Dandelion!"

"Gui, Gui Da!?"

"This uncle obviously has a beard, but he actually likes to listen to the songs of girl idols... It's really annoying!"

"Bihu contestant, are you also a fan of Ms. Yoko?" asked the host who did not appear on the screen.

"Ah, no, she is a junior girl from the same high school as me. I just wanted to listen to it, and I fell in love with it. I feel very energetic when I listen to it. The scene of shooting a goal comes to my mind, and the lyrics are like It’s like a dandelion.”

"I see!" Guida looked like he was holding his chin in thought, "Because Dandelion is a dandelion, he is really smart!"

"Get away from me!"

This ends the VCR.

Could this be it... Conan thought to himself.

This can also explain the disgusting look on that guy Maplehara's face...

However, I still feel like something is wrong...

On the other side, the doctor's home.

The doctor was still working on inventions in his laboratory. Fengyuan walked to the living room to get a can of juice, and then noticed that Haibara Ai seemed to be lying on the sofa.

He walked over softly, put his hands on the back of the sofa and looked down at Haibara Ai, just like he did on the day of the school festival.

The girl in front of her had her eyes closed and headphones in her ears.

But she wasn't as drunk as she was that day.

As if noticing movement or sight, Haihara Ai opened his eyes and looked over.

Feng Yuan looked at those ice blue eyes quietly.

Time seemed to flow back to the day of the school festival. He was in almost the same situation that day, and his heart beat uncontrollably.

And now, he can look at her without any scruples...

"Are you okay, Haiyuan?" Fengyuan said after a while, "You look a little dizzy."

"It's not because I've been listening to your song "Dandelion" for a whole day," Haiyuan Ai blinked, then took off his headphones and replied feebly, "I obviously have absolute pitch, but my singing is so difficult to listen to..."

"It's not that bad," Fengyuan tried to argue, "I think it's much better than the last time I sang the football song..."

"Ah, Mr. Detective really has no self-awareness," Haiyuan Ai was still lying on the sofa and looking at Fengyuan, "Obviously you have a disgusting face when you listen to it..."

"I find it unpleasant to hear it so many times..."

"Yes," Haiyuan Ai's eyes flashed with a narrow smile, "but when I listen to it, I will think of your childish appearance."

That day she accidentally learned that the bigo player liked to listen to Okino Yoko's new song Dandelion, so she wanted to listen to it.

And as she had said to Kudo before, Kudo was almost identical to Edogawa in some aspects.

Just like that, he was a little depressed.

However, he still helped to buy CDs and even sang covers for himself. Although the cover act was probably just because he wanted to leave his mark on something she liked.

"Hey, where are you childish?" Fengyuan continued to defend.

"Childish devil." Haibara Ai repeated, and then her tone became a little more serious, "I wanted to ask before, Kudo, you are obviously uncomfortable, why do you still need Amway to protect the players for me?"

She only noticed him because the situation of the Tokihigo player a few months ago was somewhat similar to her own, but treating him as a football idol was obviously inseparable from Kudo's Amway.

"No...well, it will be a little uncomfortable. But..."

Feng Yuan paused and considered his words, "This will make you feel like you are embracing the world."

The Ai Haibara who had just left the organization and was a bit passive when they first met was certainly very attractive, but Maplehara still hoped that she could be more like an ordinary girl.

After all, she is only eighteen years old.

"And," looking at himself reflected in those eyes, Fengyuan continued, "I like you."

"Like everything you like too."

There was a brief silence.

"Liar." Haiyuan Ai looked away and said softly.

"ah?"

"Last time, it was clear that I was talking about love." Haiyuan Ai sat up from the sofa and brushed the hair beside her ears. "Now it's like liking her."

"It's all the same -" Feng Yuan's words stopped abruptly.

A warm and soft touch came from my lips.
