Bourbon hands Margaret the menu at a fancy restaurant.

Margaret took the menu and looked at the price, "Bourbon, it's not the style of your intelligence team to be courteous for nothing. Is it possible that you can't stay at Rum's place anymore? To be honest, I quite like you. Do you want it?" Be my apprentice?"

Bourbon smiled and replied: "Thanks to Senior Margaret for your love, but I know very well that I am not capable of inheriting your mantle."

"Oh, actually I'm quite optimistic about you. If you don't have this intention, forget it. I heard that girl Mingyue is very close to you. Tell girl Mingyue to come and see me when you have time. The bag you gave me last time , I liked it very much, so I made a few imitations and asked the girl to come and get them."

Bourbon nodded in agreement and said he would pass it on.

Margaret looked at the blond-haired, black-skinned, baby-faced young man in front of her, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked him. Although his skin was a bit darker, he had a nice smile, and he was not disgusted with bloody things. He was much better than that ice-toned gin. It would be better if it wasn't from the intelligence team.

"How about you come with me to get it later, and you can bring it to Mingyue." Margaret tasted the dessert.

Bourbon poured red wine for Margaret, "Senior Margaret seems to be very familiar with Mingyue?"

"When she was six or seven years old, she followed me to interrogate mice." Margaret looked out the window and saw a few white doves flying by with fluttering wings. "That girl Mingyue should be flying in the sky like a bird. Instead of being in a cage.”

Margaret's eyes were a little sad. She still remembered that the last time she saw the bright moon, the child was locked in a glass room with a life monitor still worn around his neck. They just waved their hands through the glass and said nothing.

"Who are Mingyue's parents?" Bourbon asked tentatively.

Margaret was obviously nervous. She looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them. She put her finger in front of her lips and said in a low voice: "Shh, this is taboo, including the code name Merlot. It is taboo. If you want to be in the organization If you want to live longer, don't investigate these taboos, otherwise you will die quickly. But if you die, I will apply to make you a specimen."

Bourbon was horrified by Margaret's sight and hurriedly said, "Senior also said that Mingyue and I are very close, so I want to know more about her so that I can take care of her."

Margaret sighed, "Oh, I can see that, so I reminded you not to do this. I knew it when you guys proposed to let Mingyue girl go to school. It's a pity that the girl can't fly out." Organized this cage.”

After finishing the meal, Margaret looked at Bourbon with more and more loving eyes, and asked Bourbon to wait a moment while she went to get something.

Bourbon was waiting for Margaret at the same place. The sun was very bright at this time, and white doves were flying freely in the sky.

sizzle sizzle...

Amuro Toru's cell phone vibrated in her trouser pocket. She took it out and saw an unknown call displayed on the screen. After thinking about it, she pressed the answer button.

A human voice whose timbre was mechanically changed came from the receiver: "Bourbon, I heard that you are investigating Monáe Mingyue."

Amuro Toru's pupils shrank suddenly. The voice was Rum. He couldn't help but clenched his fingers into fists and controlled his tone. "Do you have any instructions, Lord Rum?"

"Has the investigation been completed?"

Amuro Toru was shocked and asked to investigate? Is it possible that Rum knew about my secret investigation of Mingyue? I was careless, I should have taken on a few missions recently. His tone was pretentious, "I don't know what Lord Rum needs me to investigate?"

"Meng Nai Mingyue's mother died thirteen years ago. Her mother's name was Meng Nai..."

Amuro Toru clenched her fists tightly, not even noticing that her nails were digging into her palms. She didn't even feel the pain, and bright red blood flowed out from between her fingers.

"I want you to investigate what happened four years ago, whether Monáe Mingyue is dead or not, and whether the current Monáe Mingyue is a replacement found by that gentleman."

Toru Amuro frowned, "What happened four years ago?"

"I will send you the information, time is money! It's fast, Bourbon! I'm looking forward to the results."

"clear."

The phone was hung up by Rum.

However, Toru Amuro was not at peace inside. Margaret's voice suddenly appeared, interrupting Toru Amuro's thoughts.

"Come and take a look, wouldn't it be a good idea to give this bag to that girl Mingyue?"

Bourbon quickly hid his injured hand behind his back and saw Margaret looking at a schoolbag-style bag in her hand. The texture of the bag seemed to be leather and the texture was very delicate.

Margaret checked the bag in her hand and found that it was OK. She also referenced many schoolbag styles for its style. In my mind, I simulated Mingyue carrying this model to school, and I thought it would be great. He handed the bag to Bourbon, told him to bring it to Mingyue, and left.

Toru Amuro looked at the bag in his hand. It felt like leather, but it seemed to be much thinner than ordinary leather. The texture was much more delicate, very soft, and the workmanship was also very fine. Just the color of the leather, Toru Amuro always felt like saying no. The weird feeling.

Taking the bag back to the safe house, Toru Amuro bandaged his hand, and his phone vibrated on the table.

Picking up the phone to check, it was no surprise that it was the information given by Rum. After reading it carefully, Toru Amuro frowned. The information stated that there was an explosion in a biological laboratory four years ago, and there were no survivors in the laboratory.

Two death lists were attached. Toru Amuro clicked on the first death list. His eyes suddenly widened and his breath froze because he saw Monáe Mingyue's name in the list.

The second death list was released half a year after the first death list was released, except for Monáe Mingyue's name.

There is also a photo in the attachment. The photo is of a little girl about six or seven years old, with gray hair and purple eyes, wearing a white hospital gown and a collar around her neck. The photo seems to have been taken through glass, because many people wearing white coats are vaguely visible in the photo. Although the faces cannot be seen clearly, the white coats appear clearly in the photo.

In this hot summer, Toru Amuro felt a chill to his bones.

On the other side of the ocean, Rum shook the wine glass in his hand, the purple wine liquid rippled in the glass, and said to himself: "Bourbon, I really look forward to what you can investigate, or ask from that child. what's the message."

Rum drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and looked at the night outside the window.

He actually suspected that Mingyue did not die in that accident, but then he laughed to himself, how could such a young child escape from that accident? Even if she escaped, would she still be willing to return to this organization? It’s simply a fantasy.

Moreover, after the death list was changed, the woman from Belmode also disappeared for a period of time. She was probably training the current replacement. Only the woman who trained her could deceive Gin and make it look like the real thing.

I can't be fooled, but why did that gentleman get a substitute and throw it at Gin?

Rum put the empty glass down.

……

The sun's rays passed through the leaves and shone on a cicada. The cicada flapped its wings and sucked the juice from the branches.

Got it~ Got it~ Got it~

The cicadas sing one after another, noisily, the roads are busy with traffic, and the crowds are bustling.

After listening to everyone's description of the performance that afternoon, Officer Megure nodded thoughtfully, "Then the last thing you saw should be Kido Yoko."

Mao Lilan and Yuanzi nodded, and Yuanzi said: "It should be, I saw Miss Yoko walking in, so it must be Miss Yoko who appears in the audience, and she is wearing that tiger mask."

Mao Lilan had tears in her eyes, "Miss Yoko is so pitiful. Mr. Kurokawa hasn't confessed her love yet. Mr. Kurokawa must be very sad."

Sonoko hugged Mao Lilan, and Shinichi also wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start.

Mingyue said, "I don't think it was Miss Yoko who appeared in the audience at that time, because that person did not take off the mask. The figure of the magician's assistant Mito Miyamoto is very similar to Miss Yoko's. , Yuanzi still admits his mistake."

Yuanzi was a little embarrassed, but nodded and admitted that he had made a mistake.

Kudo Shinichi rubbed his chin, "But the DNA similarity is 95%, so we can definitely be Miss Yoko."

Yuzuo's head was still wrapped with a bandage. He was sitting on the side with many photos in his hand. At this time, Yuzuo was looking at his son with a smile.

"Mr. Detective, are you so sure it's Miss Yoko? The photo at the crime scene doesn't show the face, and the DNA of identical twins is very similar." Mingyue looked at Kudo Shinichi.

Yusaku looked at the interaction between the children and smiled without saying a word.

Kudo Shinichi rolled his eyes at Mingyue, "There are many people with similar body shapes in the world, but if they are identical twins, they should look the same. But we have seen both of them. They are obviously completely different. They are just similar in body shape. That’s it. Besides, if they are twins, don’t they know it themselves? And their last names are different.”

Sonoko nodded, agreed with Kudo Shinichi, and said, "The Kido family and my family also have business contacts. They only have one daughter. I know this. I have never heard of any rumors about twins."

Officer Megure frowned and looked at Yusaku. Indeed, regarding the DNA data, there were many doubts about this case. Officer Memu rubbed his temples with a headache.

Mingyue frowned, "The police should have photos of the corpse's face."

Yusaku smiled and handed a photo in his hand to Shinichi.

Kudo Shinichi was a little confused, but he still took the photo and looked at the person in the photo. For a moment, Shinichi's eyes widened and he looked at his father, "How is this possible?!"

Mao Lilan and Yuanzi came over to take a look curiously.

"Oh?! How could it be her?!"

The person in the photo is none other than Magic Assistant Mito Miyamoto.

In the photo, Miyamoto Mito's face has already appeared corpse spots, her eyes are wide open, and there is a look of pain on her face.

"What about Miss Yangzi?" Mao Lilan asked aloud.

Yusaku looked at Officer Megure, "Thirteen, have you been contacted by Yoko Kido?"

Officer Memu shook his head, "We haven't been contacted yet."

After Kudo Yusaku thought for a moment, "Has the identity of the deceased been informed to the reporter?"

"Because the reporter Kurokawa Yoshi said that Yoko Kido was missing, but the body we found was Mito Miyamoto who was very similar to Yoko Kido. Through DNA comparison, we can basically confirm that they are twins. So we The police suspect that the murderer killed the wrong person, or there is some hidden secret, and the specific situation has not been informed to the reporter."

Kudo Yusaku nodded, "The top priority now is to quickly find the whereabouts of Yoko Kido."

"We have deployed personnel to investigate."

Kudo Yusaku placed the photo on the table, and Shinichi spread the photo flat on the table.

Mingyue looked at the photo. From the photo, it looked like the hut was a wooden structure built in the woods. It was much smaller than an ordinary jungle hut.

There is lush vegetation near the hut, and there are photos from different directions of the hut. Mingyue found that there was a very dark place in the cabin. She pointed at the photo and asked, "This dark area is so unnatural. Is it a blood stain?"

Denmi Criminal walked to Mingyue, looked at the photo of Mingyue's finger, and said: "It's not blood stains. When we passed by, there were so many ants gathered in that area for some reason. But there were so many ant nests in that area, and there were so many ants. It’s also normal.”

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the hospital conference room, and a police officer walked in and said to Officer Megure: "Officer Megure, all the colleagues of the deceased are here."

"Thirteen, I have a guess, but there is no basis for it. I won't tell them the identity of the deceased for the time being, but first ask about their relationship with Yoko Kido and Mito Miyamoto."

"Well, actually that's what I plan to do. Yusaku, please come with me."

Shinichi ran to Yuzuo with a look of anticipation on his face, "Dad, I want to go there too."

Officer Megure looked at Kudo Shinichi and saw the redness and blisters under his sleeves. "No, this is what the police do. You kids should stay in the hospital."

Kudo Shinichi looked at Officer Megure in confusion, "Then why can daddy go?"

Officer Megure looked slightly embarrassed and coughed a few times, "We need Mr. Yusaku's help."

Mingyue looked at the reluctant Kudo Shinichi and said: "In short, you will only cause trouble in the past, Mr. Detective. If your blisters are not treated well, they may suppurate. It is very hot outside, and the wounds are wet with sweat. It’s going to get infected.”

Yusaku blinked at Shinichi, "Mingyue is right, you should stay here first."

Shinichi looked at Mingyue and felt very unhappy. Hum, when dad tells me the case information, I will not share it with you, and I will tell you to look down on me.

But Shinichi then thought about it, if he didn’t tell everyone the case information, then who would he tell the reasoning to? So irritable! I wanted to scratch my head, but held it back.

Mao Lilan looked out the window, the sun was shining brightly, and she pictured Yoko Kido in a cherry red kimono in her mind: Where did Miss Yoko go? Wasn't she confessed?

Sonoko looked at Mingyue and Kudo Shinichi, who looked irritated, and asked: "Mingyue, are you okay?"

Mingyue looked at Yuanzi, who was full of concern, smiled and nodded, "What about you? Are you not feeling well yet?"

"I'm fine now, but I'm not allowed to eat food from outside recently." Yuanzi curled her lips reluctantly. It was obvious that everyone ate together, so why was I the only one who felt uncomfortable?

Everyone's attention is focused on the photos on the table.

Mingyue took out her mobile phone and looked at it. The screen showed Eguchi Saori and Matsushima Reiko sitting on a park bench. They were talking about something, and Matsushima Reiko kept wiping her tears.

The cicadas outside the window are noisy and annoying.
