Conan Moslin

May 5th is a day that has many meanings and many things happened.

In "The Final Problem", it was on this day that Holmes and Moriarty fell together in a fight at the Reichenbach Falls in Meiringen, the capital of Bern, Switzerland.

Two years after this incident, when Professor James Moriarty's brother was defending him, Watson, Holmes's best friend, made Holmes' "final case" public.

That’s the perspective of “The Final Case.”

In addition, this day is also the birthday of Kudo Shinichi, now Edogawa Conan.

On this day, Conan Edogawa received his birthday present - a red knitted sweater.

Maybe two, but he didn't know.

He did not hear Ran Mouri say "Happy Birthday" in person, because on that day, he and Kogoro Mouri were busy going to the police station to complete the record of the Teiji Moritani incident, and trying to get more information about Teiji Moritani from Inspector Megure and others.

Of course Li An and Ying Li were there too.

After the transcript was finished, Kuriyasu and Kogoro went to Hime Eri's law firm again and finally finished reading the remaining materials.

Conan, who followed by default, finally found out what Li An was doing recently.

It turned out that after Hou Lian appeared in the villa incident, Sister Li An's commission changed completely from finding someone to investigating the accident eight years ago.

...Is that so?

In fact, since the villa incident or even earlier, Kuriyasu and Kaito had tacitly separated into two separate lines.

Kaito is still the carefree and casual Kaito Kid, stealing gems to attract the attention of the organization looking for Pandora.

However, through the detective commission from Kogoro Mori and the person behind her named "Ming" who is always missing, Kuriyasu gets in touch with people from various places and investigates the circumstances of the accident.

This is something she must do.

On the day of the melancholy birthday theft, Kuroba Kaito received a threatening call from the Pandora organization. The other party mentioned that they had not seen each other for a long time and warned him not to attack the gems again. This was the opportunity for Kuroba Kuriyasu to "start a new investigation."

The clear implication of this phone call is that the organization knows that "Kaito Kidd" is "Kuroba Toichi".

The resurrection of Kaito Kid poses a threat to the organization and will also affect her and Kaito's lives.

So Kuroba Kuriyasu deliberately shifted the focus of the investigation to another direction.

As long as someone finds out what she is investigating, it will naturally lead to this result -

Although the young people of the Kuroba family knew the identity of Kuroba Toichi and the existence of Kaito Kid, they did not know the cause of the accident eight years ago, nor did they know why Kaito Kid suddenly appeared eight years later.

Before this, they had no connection with the suddenly appearing "Kaito Kid".

To trace back to the source, she frequently appeared at the scene of Kaito Kid in order to determine the true identity of the person who suddenly appeared eight years later and to determine whether her father Kuroba Toichi was really dead.

One of Kuroba Kuriyasu's real purposes is to completely separate the Kuroba siblings from the active "Phantom Thief Kid".

She would suppress Mr. Maori's investigation progress and prolong the investigation time, so as to divert their attention to the greatest extent instead of causing trouble directly at home.

But to be honest, no one has come to her house or to see Grandpa Terai over the years.

Perhaps there were problems within the organization and they had no time to care about the remaining family members of the enemy; perhaps they were complacent with the death of their opponent and devoted themselves to new goals; or perhaps, unknown to the siblings, there were many people who covered up the bloody storm for the two children.

But no matter what, everything was almost silent for many years, and only she and Kaito grew up day by day with their father away and their mother working abroad from time to time.

As for why Kaito was suddenly pushed into the identity of "Phantom Thief Kidd" at this special time of this year, and why it had to be "eight years later"?

There is actually no way of knowing Kuroba Kuriyasu.

But in the early hours of the morning, Li An and Kaito, one in the light and one in the dark, were still doing their own things.

Standing on top of a blazing tower constructed with layers of steel and concrete, I look down at the brilliant lights of thousands of homes.

Sitting in an ordinary apartment where everything is asleep, he opened a slightly yellowed case paper.

The rotation of the machinery stirred up dust and beams of white light focused on one spot.

In the old color photo, only a few pieces of clothes were left from the iron chain bindings, and all that could be seen were the gray and black remains that had been burned by fire.

She raised the emerald in one hand, and the exquisite silver necklace fell naturally beside her hand.

Under the moonlight, the dead branches growing inside the gem looked like jagged skeletons, with golden threads flowing and shining brightly.

A female voice murmured from the headphones and blended into the wind along with the male voice's sigh.

"is fake."

On the night of the crescent moon, red and blue lights alternate, and sharp flute sounds echo through the sky.

The inspection results of the scrap metal came into view one by one, and the names of the inspectors were read out one by one.

A case that can evade police investigation is naturally flawless, and the truth can only be barely glimpsed from between the lines.

After all, this was a "perfect cooperation" between the murderer and the victim, and an ingenious trick to escape.

And the leader who conducted the fire investigation and made the unexpected judgment, if her memory is correct...

Turn over the last page to confirm the signature.

"Metropolitan Police Department Criminal Investigation Division 1, Fire Crime Investigation Division 1—"

"Inspector Yumio."

The angry roar of the police officer from the Intelligent Criminal Investigation Department was heard from the helicopter.

"Kaito Kidd is there! Don't let him get away!"

Kaito Kidd carefully hung the necklace in his hand on the steel branches, raised two fingers to salute the police officers and opponents who came here, and then fell backwards without hesitation.

Like falling into water, silently.

The white-horse detective gradually stopped chasing and squinted his eyes to look at the distant sky.

The white wings are spread out and the black feathers are folded.

The night is clear and bright.

……

It was a week later that Conan heard from Teiji Moriya again.

At that time, he had just painstakingly guided Kogoro Mori to solve a murder case of the president of a financial company without using an anesthetic needle.

After the case was over, Kogoro Mori rubbed his neck and stretched out of habit.

"Another case solved... Xiaolan, you and Conan go back first. I'm going to go out for a while."

"Are you going to drink again? Dad, there's a full house tomorrow..."

"No problem, I'll be back soon."

While Kogoro Mouri and Ran promised to go back as soon as possible, Conan was pestering Officer Takagi to ask about Teiji Moriya.

Subsequent police investigations and the confessions of Kuriya and others confirmed that Teiji Moriya's goal was indeed to destroy all "imperfect" buildings, and to avenge Kudo Shinichi for his ruined "Nishitama New Town Construction Plan."

This matter was also confirmed in a subsequent inquiry to one of the shareholders of Mika Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

Because in the company building design drawings he provided, Moriya Teiji's name was prominently listed.

"Officer Takagi, do you remember the name of that shareholder?"

"I think it was called..."

"Kenzo Masuyama."
