Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

Chapter 619: Investigation of Haneda Koji



After leaving the apartment, it was now dusk as well.

Mao Lilan had already called Conan and told them to go back to the office for dinner. After eating, he asked the tool man Dr. A Li to take them home one by one.

Gentai and the other three chatted about being flower girls in Kamiya Minazuki.

Behind Conan, Haibara Ai said solemnly: "Hey, do you know that person? Haneda Koji!"

Conan nodded and said: "Ah, I know. He is the closest to the seven-time champion and the most eye-catching genius chess player. Ever since he went to the United States to participate in a chess competition due to personal interests, he was accidentally involved. An incident and accidental death, right?

Their surnames are both Haneda. I originally thought they might be related, but I didn’t expect that they were the step-brothers of Taiko celebrities. "

Conan noticed that Haihara Ai's expression was not right and asked, "What happened to that chess player?"

Haihara Ai said to Conan seriously: "I have seen his name before... It is the second name under yours in the list of people who were forced to drink APTX4869!"

Conan was extremely shocked when he heard this information.

After returning to the office, Conan tossed and turned in the room alone, his mind filled with things about Haneda Koji.

Haneda Koji was accidentally involved in an incident and died accidentally. Since he appeared on the list, this accident was a good thing done by the black organization.

However, how could a chess player be related to a black organization?

Early the next morning, Conan came to Dr. Ali's house and found Haibara Ai.

Conan searched for information about Haneda Koji on Haibara Ai's computer.

"Koji Haneda, seventeen years ago, when he was a four-time champion, he took this title to the United States to participate in a chess competition that he usually played as a hobby. However, the night before the competition, he was in the hotel where he was staying. In the room, he was attacked and killed by unknown persons.

His room was quite messy. Haneda seemed to have resisted when he was killed, but the direct cause of death is unknown.

On the same day, American bourgeois Amanda Hughes died in another room in the same hotel. The cause of death was also a mystery.

Amanda is a loyal fan of Haneda. The two had communicated with each other before. After that day, the personal bodyguard Amanda brought disappeared. Therefore, the police regarded Amanda as Asaka's bodyguard and regarded her as the most important. suspect and traced her whereabouts, but so far there is no news about her.

In addition, the true identity of the person named Asaka is also a mystery. It is said that neither Amanda's family nor related people know the reason why Amanda hired this person as her bodyguard.

Haibara, do you know this guy named Asaka? "

Haibara Ai shook his head and said: "No, I have never heard of this person, but the cause of Haneda Koji's death is unknown, and his name appears on the list of people who were force-fed APTX4869. If so, the one named People with Asaka are very likely to be members of the organization."

Conan frowned and said, "But isn't this strange? Haneda Koji was killed 17 years ago. Why is his name registered second below mine?"

Haihara Ai replied: "The person who manages the information does not sort it according to the order of killing. Maybe it is sorted according to the blood type of the person."

"Also, the medicine I was force-fed was already available 17 years ago, which means..." Conan looked at Haibara Ai suspiciously: "How old are you now?"

Hui Yuan Ai said unhappily: "How rude, why don't you go next door and ask my sister how old I am?!"

Conan laughed dryly.

Haiyuan Ai's voice was a little low and she said: "Those medicines were probably made by my parents, because I just collected the leftover data and then recreated the medicine."

Conan said in surprise: "Burn the rest?"

Haibara Ai recounted: "There was a fire in my parents' research institute that year. In the end, both of them and the medicine's information were killed in the flames. Although I heard from people in the organization that it was just an unfortunate accident."

Haihara Ai did not explain to Conan that in fact, what the organization asked her to create was another kind of medicine.

Dr. Agasa asked doubtfully: "But why did they have to kill a Japanese shogi master?"

In this regard, Conan and Dr. Agasa are also very strange.

Haibara Ai guessed: "For the organization, the capitalist named Amanda is an obstacle. Could it be that he happened to witness the murder of the capitalist? It is said that Amanda is a very good person in the FBI and CIA. A man who can enjoy himself."

Conan continued to look at the information on the computer: "Amanda once visited Haneda Koji's room. This seems to be true. The door handles, sofas, teacups, plates, forks and other items in Haneda Koji's room seemed to have... Amanda’s fingerprints.”

Haibara Ai looked at the pictures of the murder scene of Haneda Koji on the computer and speculated: "Could it be that they ordered black tea and cakes through room service, and then shared afternoon tea? But when the room was messed up, those tableware and other things They all seem to be broken, too.”

Conan looked at the pictures of the scene carefully and said: "Yes, the whole room seems to be messy and scattered with fragments of cups and plates with the name of the restaurant 'juke'... Well, there seems to be glass mixed in the broken tableware, yes A mirror? What else is written on it, 'PTON'."

Haihara Ai said: "The words above should be 'PUT ON MASCARA', which means putting on mascara, right? At that time, a certain cosmetics manufacturer happened to launch a promotion that bought mascara and got a portable mirror.

It is said to be very popular. The words 'PUT ON MASCARA' are printed on the mirror, because my sister also has that portable mirror, which is a relic left by my mother. "

Conan frowned: "But why is that portable mirror in Haneda Koji's room?"

Dr. Ali looked at the information on the computer and said: "It says that the murdered bourgeoisie Amanda was an old woman over eighty years old."

Haibara Ai speculated: "Maybe Haneda Koji got it from his mother or someone else? As a chess player, he should also pay attention to his appearance. In comparison, what worries me more is that this person was made A messy room with no one to collect the corpses would never be like this if it was the work of an organization.

Leaving as if nothing happened is their style. "

Conan looked at the death information of Haneda Koji on the computer, and his expression became more and more solemn. This case is very complicated and confusing.
