Conan's other self

After watching two adults kissing as if no one else was watching with the elementary school students outside the shogi competition, Maplehara and Ai Haibara returned to the doctor's house.

Maplehara opened his laptop directly and began to investigate the relevant information of Haneda Koji.

"Do you want to tell Conan?" the doctor said.

Conan had been with the elementary school students before, and got off the car near the Mori Detective Agency, so Maplehara hadn't told Conan about Haneda Koji yet.

"Conan forgot to tell Xiaolan that he would not go back for lunch at noon," Fengyuan said while searching for information. "Maybe he is busy now, so he should wait until I sort it out before telling him..."

"Furthermore," Fengyuan continued, "this information is all public on the Internet, so there is no need to tell him in a hurry..."

"Publicly?" Hui Yuan Ai asked curiously.

"Yes, it seems that someone doesn't want this information to be deleted, so they regularly upload the details of the case to the Internet..."

"Could this be the Haneda Hideyoshi you are talking about?"

"It doesn't feel like..."

Feng Yuan responded casually, and then read and read:

"Seventeen years ago, Koji Haneda, who was already a four-time shogi champion, went to the United States to participate in a chess competition that he was interested in. On the eve of the competition, he was attacked and killed by an unknown person in his hotel room.

The room was turned into a mess. When he was killed, Koji Haneda seemed to have resisted, but the direct cause of death was unknown.

On the same day, the cause of death of American capitalist Amanda Hughes, who was murdered in another room in the same hotel, is also unknown.

Amanda is an admirer of Haneda, and the two often communicate with each other. After that day, a bodyguard named Asaka next to Amanda also disappeared. This is also the most suspicious person, but has not been found so far.

In addition, the identity of the person named Asaka is also a mystery. Amanda’s family and friends don’t know why she hired this person..."

"Asianxiang..." Fengyuan paused and looked at Haibara Ai, "It shouldn't be the name of the wine, right? Have you ever heard of this person named Asianxiang?"

"No, I haven't heard of it." Haibara Ai shook his head slightly, "The cause of Haneda Koji's death is unknown, and his name is also on the list of those who took APTX4869, so this person named Asaka is very likely to be a member of the organization... "

"By the way, why is Koji Haneda, who was killed seventeen years ago, listed two lines below my name?"

"The data manager may not arrange them in the order of killing, but maybe by blood type or something..."

"The management of the organization is really casual..." Feng Yuan complained.

"Ah, should I help defend you?"

"It's just a joke." Feng Yuan thought for a moment, "Well... seventeen years ago, you shouldn't have developed that medicine, right?"

"Well, that was probably the medicine made by my parents. I just collected the fragments of burned data and resurrected the medicine."

"Burn, burn the rest?" the doctor asked.

"Yes. There was a fire in my parents' research institute, and they were burned along with the medicine information. The people from the organization told me that it was an unfortunate accident..."

"Hug, I'm sorry..." The doctor felt a little embarrassed when he mentioned Haihara Ai's sadness.

"It's okay, Doctor. I only saw them when I was very young," Haihara Ai seemed to be comforting the Doctor, but also seemed to be speaking to herself, "If it weren't for those tapes, I might not have even seen my mother. I can barely remember the sound..."

"Speaking of those tapes - Haiyuan, your mother is a real angel."

"I just know how to say nice things. I've already said that I'm fine, so you should hurry up and continue the investigation - wait," Haiyuan Ai paused and looked at Fengyuan suspiciously, "Why did you suddenly say this? Could it be a thief? Have you listened to that tape?"

"It's not eavesdropping. You forgot to bring your earphones when you were listening yesterday. I happened to hear a section when I went to find you..."

Hui Yuan Ai put one hand on his waist and looked at Feng Yuan with empty eyes.

"Let's continue looking at Haneda Koji's matter." Although he felt that Haibara Ai didn't mind, Maplehara decided to change the topic back, "There are some things that I can't figure out..."

"Yes," the doctor nodded in agreement. He also had some confusion, "Why do they want to kill Japanese chess players?"

"Well, it's possible that the person the organization really wanted to kill was the capitalist named Amanda. Koji Haneda might have just accidentally witnessed the murder scene and got involved."

Maplehara said, switching the interface, "As mentioned here, Amanda has a good relationship with the FBI and CIA. It also says that Amanda has been to Haneda Koji's room. The door handle, sofa, and tea cup in his room And the plate had Amanda’s fingerprints on it.”

"They ordered room service first and ordered some black tea and cakes. They probably just had afternoon tea together, right?" Haibara Ai leaned her head next to Feng Yuan and watched with him, "The room was turned into a mess. Those The tableware was also broken..."

"Yes. There are fragments of plates and cups with the hotel's logo 'JUKE' scattered everywhere in the room. From the picture, there is glass mixed in the broken tableware, and it seems to have written on it..."

The picture shows something like a mirror, but it has been broken into pieces, and part of the words printed at the bottom are also broken.

“PUT ON MASCARA…put it together with mascara…”

Haihara Ai said, "At that time, a cosmetics manufacturer sold a small mirror with mascara, and it became very popular. My sister also has one side, which is a relic of my mother..."

Therefore, she had paid attention to this manufacturer, so she knew these things.

"Then Amanda or Asaka brought this here?" Maplehara reasoned, "If you bring a makeup mirror when you go to someone else's room to have afternoon tea, then the relationship between the other person and Haneda Koji may be very close. But it doesn’t say whether Asaka went there at that time..."

"That's Asaka's, right? The capitalist named Amanda was an old woman in her eighties at the time..." the doctor added.

"It may be Haneda Koji himself. Maybe Haneda Koji also got it from his mother," Haibara Ai said. "Go players also pay great attention to appearance. Compared with these, I care more about this room. "

"Because it was turned into a mess?" Fengyuan asked.

"Well. If it was the work of an organization, it would be impossible for this kind of thing to happen. They would wipe everything clean before leaving. The room of the murdered capitalist seemed to be like this..."

"Indeed, it also says that the faucet in the bathroom in Haneda Koji's room is not turned off..."

"Then what?" Haiyuan Ai looked at Fengyuan and asked, "You just said you thought something was strange, right? Where is it?"

"This is it." As he said that, Fengyuan enlarged one of the photos. It was a close-up of the right hand of Haneda Koji's corpse, and there were traces of something tightly held in the palm of his hand.

"What's going on?"

"The text below the picture also says that this is the mark left by holding the scissors tightly."

"Scissors?" Haihara Ai and the doctor were both stunned for a moment.

"He was just holding the scissors to resist, right?" Haihara Ai continued, "You just said that there were signs of resistance on his body..."

"But if you were facing people in the organization, wouldn't it be a little funny to resist with such scissors?"

The people in the organization carry guns unscrupulously in Japan, and this is naturally even more true in the United States.

"Maybe I'm just too panicked..."

"But he is the genius chess player closest to the seven-time champion. Even if such a person subconsciously picks up the scissors, he will not hold the scissors tightly in his hand until he dies, right?"

"Then what is he doing?" Hui Yuan Ai asked curiously.

"I haven't figured it out yet," Fengyuan looked at the doctor again, "By the way, doctor, did you think of something just now? Just when we mentioned scissors..."

"Oh, that's right," the doctor touched his head in embarrassment, "I was just distracted, it has nothing to do with this..."

"Hey, are you thinking about that invention again?" Feng Yuan said with half-moon eyes, "I told you not to have high expectations..."

"Ah, it's the boring scissors that make a clicking sound as long as you close the scissor handles, right?" Haibara Ai also remembered.

"What," the doctor argued, "I think this voice sounds very pleasant!"

"Then what?" Now that this has been mentioned, Haiyuan Ai is somewhat curious, "Hasn't it been sold yet?"

"Xiaokong told me that if we want to sell it, we might as well add some optional sounds and switch buttons. I think this idea is very good, so I will change it first..."

Haiyuan Ai turned to look at Fengyuan: "You are helping the doctor come up with some weird ideas again..."

"I think it's pretty good too...ah, someone is coming..."

While he was talking, the doorbell suddenly rang.

The Doctor answered the door.

The person coming is Okiya Subaru.

As usual, he was carrying a stew pot that looked still steaming.

"I made a little too much beef stew with potatoes..." Subaru Okiya explained, putting the pot on the table aside, "I just wanted to come over and share some with you..."

"Isn't it the sweet one again?" Fengyuan said.

"Huh? I thought you guys liked sweet things..."

"Doctor really likes it..."

"But he must control his sugar intake." Haihara Ai glanced at the doctor.

"Yes, yes..."

"I see, I understand. I will pay attention next time, but this time I still have to ask you to help me eat it." Subaru Okiya still squinted his eyes, "What are you looking at? Do you mind letting me participate?"

Fengyuan and Haibara Ai were still in front of the laptop, seeming to be looking up something. Although part of their view was blocked, it was only a part of the picture, and he was very familiar with it.

Haiyuan Ai looked at Fengyuan, waiting for him to make a decision.

Kudo must have noticed that the person coming was Subaru Okiya, but he did not close the computer or operate anything. It was obvious that he did not intend to hide this matter from Subaru Okiya.

Speaking of which…

According to the speculation Kudo told him, Okiya Subaru, also known as Akai Shuichi, is likely to have some relationship with Haneda Hideyoshi. In other words, he also has some relationship with Haneda Hideyoshi's adopted brother Haneda Koji...

It's normal for Okiya Subaru to be very concerned...

Haibara Ai was thinking to herself, and then she saw Fengbara move aside and show the screen on the laptop to Okiya Subaru.

"Do I need to start from the beginning?" Fengyuan asked.

"Ah... no need," Subaru Okiya shook his head, "I've seen this before."

"Why are you looking at this?" Hui Yuan Ai asked.

"Didn't you tell me? I'm also very interested in reasoning. But even though I've seen it before, I don't have any ideas. How about it? Have you thought of anything?"

Okiya Subaru said, looking at Kaedehara covertly.

Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that Haibara Ai is already very clear about Akai Shuichi’s business...

But this is not surprising. After all, it was this kid who helped Kudo Shinichi disguise himself as Subaru Okiya when he faced Toru Amuro before...

He was thinking about this, and then noticed that Fengyuan changed the page to the broken mirror.

"Looking at your expression, have you thought of something?" Haiyuan Ai said.

"I just have some ideas..." Feng Yuan said.

The arrival of Akai Shuichi made him couldn't help but think of the relationship between the Akai family and Haibara Ai, and he also happened to think of the "sister outside the realm" code given by Akai Marie to Conan.

Although I have no clear impression of these things and the relationship between Haneda Koji and everyone, it is inevitable that they have a certain relationship...

Perhaps Haneda Koji also used a similar code method...

After trying this for a while, Fengyuan felt that it was feasible.

"How do you say that?" Okiya Subaru asked.

"Look..." Fengyuan stood aside and turned sideways so that everyone could see the screen on the computer. Then he pointed at the broken mirror.

"Only the four letters PTON remain on the text on the mirror. If you look carefully, you can see that the U between P and T is broken, but it just avoids the two letters P and T, so there is no impact at all..."

"This could be a coincidence, right?" Hui Yuan Ai asked.

"Yes, but the reasoning is like this," Fengyuan did not deny it, "If what seems to be a coincidence is not actually a coincidence..."

Hui Yuan Ai was slightly startled, "Secret code..."

Okiya Subaru opened his eyes slightly and looked at the computer screen.

"Death message..."

"Haneda Koji holding the scissors tightly may be hinting at this. The information given above is not enough, but it is very likely that he used the scissors to leave the death message..."

"S-Scissors?"

"Yes, the words left on the mirror are PTON, and the words originally on the mirror were PUT ON MASCARA..."

"If PTON is removed here, then what he cuts out is UMASCARA..." Subaru Okiya took over Maplehara's words, "And if CA and KA have the same pronunciation, the one that can be associated with it is ASACA...the suspect is Asaka. .”

"However, if ASACA is removed from UMASCARA, what is left is U·M·R..."

Hui Yuan Ai's face changed slightly.

The doctor still looked confused.

"If you change the order, it's RUM."
