Conan's other self

"do not be afraid…"

In the private room, Ms. Anchi Keiko looked at the two elementary school students opposite her and said, "It will be fine if you stay here."

"Yeah!" Fengyuan responded with a smile that suited his age.

He is playing Conan after all.

Haiyuan Ai, who was pretending to be Feng Yuan, also responded softly, and then continued to hold the teacup in his hand and sip tea.

The room suddenly became quiet.

The scene in front of her made Anchi Keiko feel a little embarrassed.

Although she had just said words of comfort to the child, the one who was really scared was actually herself. After all, someone has been killed.

The twins in front of her, who looked very much like Kudo Shinichi when they were young, didn't look scared at all, and even gave her a feeling that they were very comfortable.

Correspondingly, other people staying in the private room were also a little restless, and soon director Ma Shanfeng took the lead in breaking the silence.

"I," he stood up, "I'm going to the toilet..."

"Then I'll go too..."

"I, I too..."

Starring Hayabusa Moriya and composer Riki Agada stood up behind him. Hearing what they said, Anzhi Jingzi also felt like peeing, but after thinking about it, she decided to endure it and stay in the room.

After all, we can't leave two little kids here alone.

Three adult men went out.

Mr. Ishayamori didn't take two steps when his mobile phone received the message. After looking at his mobile phone, he separated from the two of them directly. Ma Shanfeng and Agada Li didn't pay attention and walked into the toilet on their own.

Then…

Agata Riki walked out of the booth and walked out of the store.

There was no lobby in this hotel, and because of the commotion, the guests were hiding in private rooms, so he didn't meet anyone along the way.

For the same reason, there is no one outside the hotel now, except for Isabusa Moriya who just came out.

Mr. Isabusa seemed a little nervous. He looked down at his mobile phone from time to time. He looked back when he heard the sound of the door being opened.

"Why did you come out too?"

Mr. Isabusa was a little surprised.

He didn't know what Agata Riki was going to do.

Agada did not reply, but took out a neatly folded thin raincoat from his arms and put it on himself in front of Mr. Ishun. Then his hands moved towards his arms again.

"Agata?" Mr. Isabusa was a little confused.

"Go apologize to Izuri properly."

"Aha?"

"Go to that world!" Agata Riki suppressed his voice and roared, and then prepared to rush towards Mr. Ishun.

However--

"That's it, Mr. Agata."

A bamboo sword was placed on Agada Li's shoulder.

Hattori Heiji put one hand in his pocket, leaned slightly, and held the bamboo sword firmly in his right hand without moving, making a cool posture.

On the opposite side, Police Officer Ayanokouji also walked out of the corner next to the store. Behind Agada, Maplehara, Ai Haibara and Ms. Keiko Kurachi also walked out of the restaurant.

However, Ms. Anchi Keiko has not figured out the situation yet.

"W-what..." Agata Riki also looked around him a few times in confusion, with an ugly expression on his face.

"I heard that there were many people playing Tengu running around on the road outside, so we guessed it," Hattori Heiji said, glancing at Maplehara who had just reminded him, "Sure enough, you plan to attack us while we are attracted away. "

"Since we already know that your next target is Mr. Isabusa," Officer Ayanokouji pulled the confused Isabusa away from Agada, "How could you be led away so easily..."

"Is it possible that you have solved the secret code?"

Hattori Heiji looked at Maplehara again, and found that he had no intention of explaining, so he said it himself: "Yes, the key is the white cross surrounded by four black squares at the beginning..."

Then he explained the solution to the code.

"... Then we knew that the next person who would be targeted was Mr. Isabusa. It's easy like this. You just need to keep an eye on Mr. Isabusa. As long as you attack him, you will be caught... "

"I, I just..."

"Huh?" Feng Yuan walked to Inuya Rai's side, as if he had just discovered the abnormality of this thing, "This Inu Yarai seems to have two levels."

"Ah? Really?" Hattori Heiji was also a little surprised.

"Uncle, are you planning to dismantle the large dog on the outside after committing the crime, and then reveal the traces inside..."

Feng Yuan said, lifting the side where Inuya came from, and Haibara Ai also stood on the other side to help lift it. The two quickly removed the outer layer of Inuyarai, and Officer Ayanokouji took it and put it aside.

The bloody footprints on the Inuyarai inside were exactly the same as those on the ceiling of Mr. Nishiki's room last night.

"So that's it," Hui Yuan Ai looked at him curiously, "You asked people to play the role of Tengu to coordinate with these bloody footprints, and you wanted to make us think that these were all done by Tengu..."

Maybe to disrupt the investigation, maybe to intimidate his next target.

"Yes, it's a curse!" Agata Riki continued to defend with a sullen face, "These are originally the footprints of the tengu! What allowed me to do these things is the curse! Didn't you also see it -"

Because it was Feng Yuan and Hai Yuan Ai who were reasoning just now, he subconsciously yelled at these two children, and then he realized that these two people were not there last night.

So he quickly looked around, and had no choice but to look at Officer Ayanokouji, "——The ceiling of Nishiki's room was built in less than ten minutes. It's impossible for humans to do it!"

"Static electricity note paper." Hattori Heiji said, "You used the note paper that Mr. Nishiki used to revise the script. The note paper can be directly attached to any wall or surface without adhesive by using static electricity.

You used paint to paint the bloodstains and footprints in the room you stayed in the day before, let them dry, and then put the note on them to cover the marks. Of course, you didn't forget to reserve the smoking room the next day.

At the same time, you reserve all the other smoking rooms in the hotel. When Mr. Nishiki calls to make a reservation, cancel the reservation for that room, so that Mr. Nishiki can reserve that room. "

"Then," Maplehara said, "after stabbing Mr. Nishiki to death, you rub the stick on the ceiling to make the note fall down, then mess up the script and throw it on the ground to cover it up. Then you use a syringe to suck Mr. Nishiki's Blood, spraying into the middle of the blood stains on the ceiling.”

Since they told Officer Ayanokouji that they were Kudo Shinichi's contact from the beginning, Officer Ayanokouji wouldn't find it strange that Maplehara behaved a little bit differently.

Besides, he's playing Conan.

It is impossible for Conan not to say a word.

"Then, what about that Tengu?" Agada refused to give up, "That huge Tengu that suddenly appeared in my room, burned and then disappeared, what was that?"

"Of course you did it yourself. Brother Shinichi investigated it and heard that you are very good at this."

"How, how is it possible? Then you should tell me..."

"Quick-burning aluminum foil." Hattori Heiji took over. "Quick-burning aluminum foil is very light. After building a Tengu of this size, you can stick it to the ceiling with glue, and then paint it with alcohol-based ink. This way, as long as it touches the Even a fire as big as a cigarette butt will burn out instantly.

The three-centimeter burnt mark of the cigarette butt left in your room is evidence. If it is three centimeters long, it means that you just took two puffs and immediately threw it towards the Tengu. In other words, just before the waiter opens the door, you light up your cigarette. At that time, you must have been so frightened by the tengu that you were not in the mood to light up a cigarette, right? "

"No need to continue to quibble," Haiyuan Ai was a little impatient, "There are still mottled blood stains on your raincoat. You were also wearing this when you stabbed Mr. Ximu to death last night, right? So, the knife in your arms should be the same. The murder weapon last night just needs to be checked..."

She paused for a moment, and imitated the way Fengyuan used to scare prisoners, showing a half-smile but not a smile, "Just now we watched you put on your raincoat. Why, is this what Tengu asked you to put on?"

"You...who are you?"

Agada Li looked gloomy.

It was hard for him to accept that a child who was no more than six or seven years old said it was difficult to defend.

"Me?" Hui Yuarai was stunned for a moment.

This question was somewhat familiar, and it reminded her of something she had experienced with Kudo before. That time Kudo answered it for her and said her name was Mei and she was a detective.

But now that she was playing Kudo, she obviously couldn't answer like that again. So she glanced at Fengyuan and noticed that he quietly blinked at her and then turned back.

Haiyuan Ai raised his chin slightly and replied in a serious tone:

"My name is Kaedehara Sora, and I am a detective!"

…

But Agata force still didn't give up.

His expression changed a few times, and then he took out the knife from his arms.

But everyone nearby kept a safe distance from him, so he just waved in the air and tried to run away. But then, Hattori Heiji's bamboo sword hit his wrist, knocking his sword off.

But he still took the opportunity to turn around and run towards the gap.

Feng Yuan's hand was already on the anesthesia needle watch.

However, he did not move, nor did Hattori Heiji. Because in the direction where Agada ran away, the Conan version of Kudo Shinichi and others had already ran back in a mighty manner.

Only Officer Ayanokouji chased in that direction.

Masumi Sera was also among those returning.

They had realized that the masked man on the road was just a tactic to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so they quickly ran back. Sera Masumi ran among the crowd and couldn't help but recall Kudo Shinichi's performance when he caught the masked man just now.

Although Kudo Shinichi is much more flexible than ordinary people, he seems to be no match for him. To be precise, Sera Masumi didn't think Kudo Shinichi was capable of evading his sneak attack last night...

Yesterday, Kudo Shinichi didn’t want to have close contact with others...

The first time I met that guy Feng Yuan, he was like this too...

——The Kudo Shinichi of yesterday and the Kudo Shinichi of today are probably not the same.

The idea that suddenly appeared in his mind startled Sera Masumi himself.

Then, before she could correct herself with the thought "We can't both be Kudo Shinichi," Hattori Heiji's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Kudo, stop him!"

Sera Masumi looked up and saw that the man named Agada Riki was rushing towards them and seemed to want to go around them.

Without any time to think, Sera Masumi stepped forward, turned sideways, and punched the man in the abdomen. Then, while he was bending over in pain, he threw him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

Agada fell to the ground, holding his stomach and shrinking into a ball.

"Okay, so awesome..." Conan ran over and praised.

"Haha, it's not a big deal——"

Sera Masumi did not say any more words.

Because immediately she saw "Maplehara" and "Conan" walking next to Hattori Heiji.

"Kaede, Kaedehara! And Conan!" Sera Masumi glanced at the Conan version of Kudo Shinichi, then looked at the two of them, "Why are you all here?"

She was a little dumbfounded.

For a moment just now, she thought that Maplehara and Conan were actually Kudo Shinichi. She couldn't even think about the possibility of such a thing, but she encountered such a scene...

Does Kudo Shinichi have three?

No, that's not right...

"Are you all here?" "Conan" who didn't wear glasses seemed a little confused about what she was saying, "Oh, it was Hattori brother who called us to come to Kyoto... Shinichi brother brought us here..."

"Yes, yes..." Conan agreed.

He was slightly depressed.

It was obvious that Riki Agada had just planned to strike, but was caught red-handed, and he was obviously tricked and missed.

Police Officer Ayanokouji on the side seemed to think that this was also what he expected. He deliberately walked away to let Agada loose his guard, so when he met him, he pulled him and praised him.

This made him even more depressed.

"Conan, Xiao Kong!" Xiao Lan bent over and put her hands on her knees, "Really, you didn't even say a word to me when you came over..."

"Because I don't want to disturb Sister Xiaolan's school trip..." Fengyuan explained cutely.

"Really?" Yuanzi had a gossipy expression on her face, "I think you little brat is worried about your sister Xiaolan, so that's why you followed here secretly, right?"

"..."

"But Xiaolan's husband is right here!" Yuanzi smiled proudly, "You have no chance, give up, kid!"

"Yuanzi!" Xiaolan blushed and stopped Yuanzi from talking.

The topic here was led in a strange direction. He glanced at Ooka Momiji who had been staring at him for no reason. Hattori Heiji turned to Agada and asked about something he hadn't figured out yet:

"By the way, why are there two swellings on Mr. Nishiki's body?"

"It's that swollen grandpa." Agata simply sat on the ground. "The bad grandpa imitated the good grandpa, which angered the tengu, so there were those two swollen bumps. I saw Keiko falling while filming. The swollen bag after a fall made me want to combine it with the murder plan."

"So," Masumi Sera, who roughly understood the situation from the conversation between Officer Ayanokouji and Kudo Shinichi, asked, "Is the fact that the man named Izuri committed suicide was your motive?"

"Yes. You also know, right? "Red Shura Tengu" is actually adapted from our graduation work. Nishiki has always been very worried about the script of the graduation work, but when he saw the comics drawn by Deri in the doujinshi, he thought it was a very Great fictional story.

Izuri didn't agree to let us use it. But there was not much time until the graduation project deadline. We felt that Izuri would accept it as long as we saw the completed work, so we went straight to filming, thinking that as long as Izuri's name was on the credits, he would The graduation project is completed. "

"But the name Izuri wasn't even on the credits of that movie?"

"That's because he didn't let us sign his name..."

"But on the night when the remake was announced," Ma Shanfeng, who found no one in the room after going to the bathroom, went to find out and learned the news, took over, "Izuri suddenly contacted us."

"He has given up being a manga artist and is working in a small design office," Mr. Isabusa added. "He wants to have his name in the corner of the credits of the remake."

"Izuri also said that it has always been his dream to have his manga made into a movie." This is Ms. Keiko Kurachi.

"Then what? As a result, you rejected him and he committed suicide?"

"not like this…"

"That's it!"

Agada Riki became angry, "They called Izuku over during the preview, but his name was not on the credits! After the screening, Izuku stayed in the preview room for a long time, and it didn't take long after he returned. He committed suicide! I told them at the celebration banquet, and some of them actually smiled and said - Really, he was so surprised! Great! It was very successful - that's what it sounds like!"

He then looked at Hayabusa Mukai and the others, "You guys never planned to add Izuri's name from the beginning. You just asked him to attend the first-day preview just to laugh at him!"

"That's not the case, Agata!" Anchi Keiko said, "We have adjusted the spacing of the text!"

"Huh? What's that?"

"This is the credits that should have been shown in the movie!" Mr. Ma Shanfeng took out his mobile phone and pulled up a screenshot. "It doesn't matter if the names of five people appeared at the same time, or if Jingzi and I changed our names, the spacing between the words is crooked. Okay, it’s all so that Tomio Deri’s name can appear on the screen together with ours!”

The five names on the picture are crooked, and the middle of the dark background is separated by a light strip. Part of the five names happens to form Mr. Izuri's full name in this strip.

"Originally I wanted to include it as the original author's name, but the producer said it would be troublesome if new expenses were incurred."

"We think that he who likes secret codes will definitely notice it," said Ms. Anchi Keiko. "In fact, the film we made for graduation is already like this. In order to express our gratitude to him..."

"How, how could this happen..."

Agada force crawled over on his knees, took the phone, and then knelt on the ground, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

"You and Izuku are good friends. We want you to enjoy this surprise with him, so we even hide it from you..."

"I am so sorry."

"I, what on earth did I do..."

The murderer's regretful cries echoed through the streets into the distance.

…

The case is over.

The hotel almost turned into a crime scene, and there was some commotion nearby, so everyone gave up the idea of ​​having lunch here.

And because they thought reporters might come after hearing the news, Maplehara, Conan and Haibara Ai also planned to leave here.

Conan watched as Officer Ayanokouji took Agata Riki away, and then noticed that Maplehara and Haibara Ai were talking quietly together. It was obvious from a glance that they were discussing where to spend their time together...

I don’t know how far these two people have developed...

The previous words of Zhongdao Bagua rang in his mind, and Conan turned to look at Xiaolan. Xiaolan was discussing with Sonoko and Sera Masumi where to have lunch.

"Then let's go eat near Kitano Tenmangu Shrine!" Xiaolan suggested, "We'll just go visit it after eating!"

"Okay, go, go, go!"

"It seems very far away..."

Sonoko and Sera Masumi looked at the map while walking, and Xiaolan looked around, wanting to call Conan and Xiaosora together.

Of course, there is Kudo Shinichi.

But the next moment, she felt her arm being held tightly.

"Hey, wait a minute."

"S-Shinichi?"

"What on earth are you thinking?" Conan's face turned red, looking at Xiaolan, his eyes couldn't help but drift towards her lips. That guy Feng Yuan must have kissed Hai Yuan, so he can't fall behind...

"What do you think?" Xiaolan was stunned for a moment.

"That's me!"

"Eh?"

"You..." Conan's eyes wandered a little, "Have you forgotten my confession to you in London? This is already the second time..."

You can't do it again by yourself, can you?

As Conan was talking, he suddenly felt his tie being grabbed by Xiaolan. A completely irresistible force came and his whole body was pulled forward.

A soft touch came from his face.

Xiaolan closed her eyes tightly, grabbed the Conan version of Kudo Shinichi's tie with both hands, and kissed his right cheek.

Yuanzi and others who happened to see this scene were a little surprised and blushed.

"That's my answer," Xiaolan said with a smile, tilting her head slightly, "Isn't this okay...?"

"Dang..." Conan blushed and opened his mouth.

Of course this wasn't enough, but he said something that he couldn't say. He tried again, and then...

"Of course it's not enough."

Kudo Shinichi's voice came from nearby.

No one on the field could tell where the sound came from.

Xiaolan, whose brain was a little hot, just thought that this was what Kudo Shinichi said in front of her, and Conan——

Sure enough, when people are extremely nervous, they are not even sure whether they are talking or not.

Feeling that he finally spoke his mind, Conan held Xiaolan's shoulders tightly and faced her face.

The two looked at each other closely.

The heartbeat starts to speed up.

Xiaolan closed her eyes.

Conan also closed his eyes.

Conan kissed him.
