Chapter 267 The truth behind the mystery
Watching the live broadcast and eating cake at Dr. Agasa's house.
Surprisingly, the murderer of the closed room murder case turned out to be the interviewer from Toudou TV station who was talking to Kudo Yusaku.
Mitsuhiko said in disbelief: "Why? She killed someone and she dared to come to this kind of program for an interview?"
"Too confident?" Huibara snorted.
Conan turned to look at the silent Haneba Haku, leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Haneba, you seemed to be distracted when you were watching the live broadcast just now?"
"Oh, nothing, I just remembered something else." Bai Yuba shook his head and answered in a low voice.
"When did Mr. Yuba start raising Haro?"
"I haven't noticed. It's been a month or two, right?"
"Is Harrow and Sally together in Karasuma-nii's estate now?"
"Ah."
"zero."
Yuba Bai's pupils shrank slightly, but his face remained calm: "Is it who?"
Conan shifted his gaze and did not meet Haneba's eyes. Instead, he looked towards Genta, laughed loudly and ran to the sofa and coffee table: "Genta, don't eat my cake."
"No, Miyuki divided the portions at the beginning." Yuantai complained while taking big bites of the cake, "I'm not that greedy."
"What a coincidence, the criminal happens to be the interviewer." Ayumi said while biting the cake fork.
"This is extremely dramatic. The ratings are going to explode." Suzuki Sonoko picked up her phone to check.
Then there was a scream.
Everyone looked at Suzuki Sonoko.
"Lord Kidd! He just showed up in Shibuya!" Suzuki Sonoko stood up suddenly.
"...You will definitely miss it if you go now." Karasuma Akimitsu did not eat the cake, but sat on the sofa, leaning against the back of the chair and pulling Suzuki Sonoko's skirt to let her sit back, "So you should check if there is any TV news broadcast."
"Lord Kidd...why was there no warning for your appearance in Shibuya this time?" Suzuki Sonoko sat back on the sofa, dejected.
"Last-minute trip? Want to make a phone call and ask?"
Suzuki Sonoko looked at Karasuma Akimitsu in shock: "Although I have always known that you have a good relationship with Mr. Kidd, isn't it too much to have his phone number?"
"After I call him, he will change his number, and I will have to check again." Karasuma Akimitsu shrugged, "It's quite troublesome."
The TV was switched to a report about Kidd appearing in Shibuya. It seemed that Kidd was going to give a notice tonight about stealing diamonds. Kidd gave a notice in mid-air and then turned into dozens of pigeons and flew away.
"Lord Kidd!" Suzuki Sonoko clasped her hands together under her face in ecstasy, and seemed to have forgotten about asking for Kidd's phone number.
When everyone was on TV, Haba Haku stood up and walked towards the restroom.
When he came out of the toilet and stood by the sink, Conan pushed up his glasses and stood by the wall, looking up at him: "Mr. Hanba, you know where the toilet is when you come to Dr. Agasa's house for the first time."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Knowing Conan's sharpness, Bai Yuba didn't want to beat around the bush with him and guess the meaning behind the conversation.
Conan walked to the sink and looked up at Hashiro Haneba: "Is your code name still Bourbon?"
"It's Rum." A voice interrupted. Karasuma Akiko put his hands in his sleeves, leaned his shoulders against the wall at the door, and looked at the two of them with a smile, "He is doing Rum's work now."
Conan looked at Karasuma Akimitsu in shock: "You said he is Rum?"
"I was kidding." Karasuma Akimitsu lowered his head and laughed softly, "You are a kid, but you know a lot about us. Did you hear this from your family members talking?"
"..."
Karasuma Akira straightened his shoulders and walked over. He took out a folding fan from his kimono sleeve. He tapped Conan's forehead with the folded fan bone and said, "Little boy, there are some things you don't need to be too curious about. Just pay attention to the cake and ice cream."
Conan touched his forehead that was hit, looked at the smiling Karasuma Akimitsu, turned around and left without saying a word.
After watching Conan walk out of the bathroom, Karasuma Akimitsu turned back to look at Hayao Hashira.
Habashiro dried his hands with paper towels: "Rum?"
"The work you are doing now is similar to what Rum did before. I am not lying." Karasuma Akimitsu opened his folding fan to cover his mouth.
"Check the accounts?"
"You think this is a waste of talent?" Karasuma Akimitsu tilted his head and said, "This is the financial lifeline of the organization. I'm leaving the most important part to you to check."
"Mingguang, I'm not sure." Hanba Bai looked at Karasuma Mingguang, "I'm not sure if what I'm doing now is still on the right track. I don't even know if you really can't remember or don't want to admit that you remember."
Karasuma Akimitsu looked at Hashira Haba carefully and saw confusion and worry in his eyes.
"Don't worry." Karasuma Akimitsu raised the hand that was not holding the fan and touched Haba Haku's face, "As long as you are willing to stay by my side..."
"Is this face important to you?" Bai Yuba asked softly.
"I feel at ease when I see Bai." Karasuma Akimitsu leaned over gently and rested his head on Hanaba Bai's shoulder, "Please don't leave me, okay?"
There was a hint of panic on Habashiro's face. He raised his hands, wanting to hug Karasuma Akimitsu, but hesitated and did not dare to close his hands.
Karasuma Akimitsu only leaned for a while, then took a step back and left: "Sorry, I was a little emotional, please don't mind it." After saying that, he turned around and quickly left the bathroom.
Yuba Bai's expression changed. Finally, she straightened her black ponytail that hung in front of her and walked out of the bathroom.
The Kudo couple next door had finished recording the show. When Karasuma Akimitsu and others came out, they saw a police car parked in front of the Kudo house.
Suzuki Sonoko noticed: "It seems that Officer Megure brought people here."
"I guess he set out to catch the criminal right after the live broadcast of the revelation?" Karasuma Akimitsu said with a smile, "He really is a mystery writer."
"Yeah, Uncle Yusaku was a detective when he was young."
Kudo Yusaku, who was talking to Inspector Megure, looked in the direction of the few people, his eyes fell on Karasuma Akimitsu, then he smiled and nodded.
Karasuma Akimitsu also smiled politely and nodded in return.
Conan said obediently: "I will go ask Uncle Yusaku about the details of the case, you guys go back first."
Suzuki Sonoko nodded: "That's perfect. I was saying there were too many kids and the car wouldn't fit them all when we took them back."
.
After Inspector Megure left, Kudo Yusaku returned to the study and saw Conan sitting obediently in front of the desk: "What's wrong with Xiaoguang?"
"Dad, Haba Shira might really be Amuro." Conan dangled his legs on the chair and swayed gently.
"Is there any evidence?"
"He took Haro away to raise him. When I called out 'Zero', he reacted, although he tried to hide it. He also directly judged that 'Zero' was a person's name. This alone speaks volumes."
"..." Kudo Yusaku sat down on the chair in the direction of the computer screen on the desk and thought quietly for a while.
"Is it a disguise? Why do you want to become another person?"
"You said Yuba came to buy a voice changer?" Kudo Yusaku didn't understand either.
"Yes, it's really strange. If it really had to be kept secret from the beginning, the voice changer wouldn't necessarily have to be made by Dr. Agasa, right? He didn't even intend to ask Dr. Agasa to keep it a secret. Is he disguising himself as Hanaba like Akai did before? What's the point?" Conan touched his chin in confusion.
"If it was a disguise, then his technique is really perfect." Yukiko Kudo walked into the study with two cups of black tea and placed the tea in front of the two people sitting there.
"You can't even see the disguise?" Kudo Yusaku asked in surprise.
Kudo Yukiko walked over to Kudo Yusaku with a tray of teacups in her arms. "Yes, I observed closely and could not see any signs of disguise. The clothes have a high collar, so the voice changer might be inside. But Sharon was also very good at disguise back then. If the figure was similar and I was not familiar with that person, it would be difficult for me to tell."
"Where's Karasuma Akimitsu?"
"I'm sure it's Hikaru." Kudo Yukiko closed her eyes and recalled, "His hair color, facial details, and the kimono that covered his figure, but I hugged him. Shinichi was not wrong, he was Hikaru."
Conan nodded: "I told you I had confirmed it."
"But he has grown a little taller." Kudo Yukiko smiled, "He is already as tall as Shinichi, although you might miss it if you don't pay attention."
"He's grown taller?" Conan opened his mouth wide.
"Yeah, he's about 174cm tall. It's normal for boys of this age to continue growing." Kudo Yukiko smiled, "And now he's in the University of Tokyo, the Faculty of Literature, right? Maybe he'll write a work in the future, I'm really looking forward to it."
"Ahhh, he actually went to the University of Tokyo first." Conan banged his head against the edge of the desk in frustration.
"But that Yuba followed him all the time when he went to school, right? Was it because Amuro's appearance was too conspicuous and he was also famous in Beika-cho because of the Poirot Café? So he disguised himself into other appearances so that he could go to school with him and be closely protected?" Kudo Yukiko thought from a different angle.
"It's possible, but in that case there's no need for him to hide his identity from his subordinates." Kudo Yusaku frowned, picked up the black tea and took a sip.
"Threatened?" Kudo Yukiko guessed.
"How to threaten? Not allowed to reveal your identity and disguise yourself as another person to be Xiaoguang's bodyguard? What's the reason why it must be kept secret?" Conan touched the teacup with both hands, then felt that it was still a little hot, so he put it down again.
"But... I told you to have as little contact with Xiaoguang as possible, right?" Kudo Yukiko tilted her head, "Why are you two starting to research him now?"
"...When there is a mystery, it is really hard not to be attracted by it." Kudo Yusaku put down the teacup and spread his hands and said, "You know, as a detective, I can't help wanting to know the truth."
Conan nodded: "But we have agreed to go to Hachijo Island during the Golden Week. Maybe we can see something then. Don't worry, mom. I will protect myself and be safe."
