Stay away from Conan

"If I'm not wrong, the only person who can finally see this letter is you, Mr. Akechi."

After Gao Yuan came to the location indicated by the password and found the safe, after opening it, what he saw was an envelope, and on the envelope, this sentence was written directly.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan only felt that the current situation made him surprised and happy——

What's surprising is that the business card Miyano Akemi left at Mizushima Kanae's editorial office was actually left for her to discover. This means that Miyano Akemi had really anticipated the development of the incident and had done what she wanted. Arrangements were made.

The good news is that if what I expected is good, then the letter left by Miyano Akemi may contain some clues that I desperately need.

So, with a slightly uneasy feeling, Gao Yuan waited until he got back to the car, opened the selection envelope, took out the letter paper inside, unfolded it, and started reading——

"Mr. Mingzhi, when you read this letter, I think you should already know my true identity, and we have reached some kind of trust, but I should no longer be alive at this moment.

"Although it may be a bit heavy to say this, to be honest, Mr. Mingzhi, when I wrote this letter, I didn't know whether I should leave this letter to you. After all, what I want to write down next is very important to me. It may not be beneficial to you, and it may even be very dangerous.

"Just thinking about the fact that I tried to use the incident of the Nakagawa family as a guide to let you investigate the reasons for the decline of the Nakagawa family and test your investigative ability, I imagined that maybe one day, you would I became curious about the source of this series of events, a tragedy that happened twenty years ago, and then started to pursue it.

"Even though, I really don't think you will find enough clues one day and investigate very deeply - after all, the truth behind this is full of all kinds of unknown secrets, and it's still more than twenty years old. As time goes by, it is almost impossible to leave any clues that can be followed. Even if you can find other witnesses of the incident, they will most likely not be able to tell you about the crimes they committed.

"But I don't know why, but I still think you might be able to find out to this extent, and you have already met Remi Miyamizu, so with such expectation, I leave this letter here.

"If you can really find out to this extent, it means that you already know enough facts, but there is still a long way to go before the final truth. Therefore, I thought I would simply tell you the clues I know here. You.

"Because if you randomly launch an investigation into the publishing house where Reimi Miyamizu worked, there is a high chance that you will be targeted by the mastermind first.

"In order to avoid such a situation, I will make it clear here——

"The editor-in-chief of the publishing house you want to investigate was the instigator of the incident twenty years ago. His nickname was the 'Puppet Master'."

——Seeing this, Gao Yuan’s thoughts suddenly froze for a moment, and at the same time, some clues that had no clue in his mind could not help but be answered at this moment——

Sure enough, that publishing house would publish Domoto Muji's manga back then, and it definitely had a purpose.

However, if you take a comic that hints at the truth of an incident twenty years ago, delete the hinted plot, and then publish it, what is the purpose of "Puppet Master"?

Since the editor-in-chief of that publishing house is the "Puppet Master", it is obvious that the "Puppet Master" has read the first edition of the comic, so it is natural to know that Domoto Mumu knows the truth back then.

But why, when faced with someone who knew the truth about the massacre twenty years ago, did the "Puppet Master" not cause trouble for Domoto Mumu, but instead helped him publish the comic?

What is the purpose of the "puppet master" leaving behind this witness who knew the truth?

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but frown——

kindness?

Witness!

In the final analysis, the only witnesses to that incident were the "Puppet Master" who was present at the time, the "Puppet Master" who arrived later, and the "Cointreau" who arrived later, and the three prisoners who murdered Hanada Kochi, except Junya Nakagawa. Kochi Hanada who was rescued by "Cointreau".

However, due to their status, it is impossible for the "Puppet Master" and "Cointreau" to come forward as witnesses. After all, they each had ulterior motives in that incident——

"Cointreau" helped Hanada Kochi and had to hide it from "Camus", and the "puppet master" obviously had his own purpose in letting "Cointreau" take away the mirror.

Therefore, among the three witnesses, the existence of these two is actually meaningless. From their standpoint, they have various other means to make something about the events of twenty years ago.

As for the last Hanada Kochi, he passed away in seventeen years, and Domoto Mukai knew the truth of that year, which is suspected to be related to this.

In this way, Domoto Mumu, the witness, has become the most special person among those who know the truth——

He knows the truth, but he is not a witness, and he has no ulterior motives. If he wants, he can come forward and tell the police the truth he knows. He is a witness who can be exposed in front of others!

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan seemed to understand a little bit——

The existence of Domoto Infinite is a warning in itself. The "Puppet Master" can keep this witness so that he can expose the truth of the year to the public at any time. This is for the three Junya Nakagawa who were threatened by the "Puppet Master" , is the Sword of Damocles hanging above their heads——

In other words, for the "Puppet Master", Domoto Muji is of use to him. The "Puppet Master" can use the method of helping Domoto Mumu publish comics to indirectly threaten Nakagawa Junya and the others and let them It’s not like no one knows what they did back then.

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel that he had hit the key point——

Witnesses should only be secondary, the key lies in the comic! As long as the "Puppet Master" publishes that comic, it can already serve as a warning to those three people. As his editor-in-chief, this is a piece of cake.

And because it is a warning, the "Puppet Master" does not need to completely hint at the truth in the comic. It only needs to let people see that there is a living woman who has lost her limbs in the comic, so that the three people who have ghosts in their hearts can worry. Feeling uneasy.

At this point in the analysis, Gao Yuan probably has an idea of ​​the clues at hand, but due to the lack of key information, he is still not able to grasp the key——

After all, because Akechi Kengo did not tell himself the clues he learned from Nakagawa Momei, why Nakagawa Junya and the others were clearly threatened by the "puppet master" who betrayed the "Gus Group", but instead Later, he helped the "Gus Group" establish their power in Japan.

There must be some key clues in this, but it is obvious that Akechi Kengo does not intend to let himself and Shirozuka Hisui get involved.

Therefore, seeing that such thinking could only lead to half-baked conclusions, Gao Yuan simply did not think too much and continued to read Miyano Akemi's letter——

"You may be wondering why I know this matter so clearly. Then I can only say it is a coincidence. Because when I was living in the organization with my parents when I was young, I met someone there. A very nice uncle happened to know about this.

"Ah, by the way, the password for communication that I agreed with you was also taught to me by that uncle at that time.

"But then again, Mr. Akechi, from my point of view, I don't want you to continue to pursue it, because this matter involves too much, and you will be destroyed if you are not careful. If you really If you want to investigate this matter thoroughly, I can only advise you to stop once you find the 'puppet master'!

"Remember!"

——Seeing this, Gao Yuan can probably understand the meaning of Miyano Akemi’s last advice. After all, in the final analysis, this matter is ultimately related to the organization, and even related to a person who was already an important figure in the organization twenty years ago. Character "Kamu".

Although according to Xiao Ai, "Kamu" has done almost nothing in the past ten years, and it is hard to say what his current status is in the organization, but it is obvious that such an old man in the organization has a high position in the organization. The influence will never be just a little bit.

Once his investigation attracts this person's attention, it is obvious that his situation will not be good.

Therefore, Gao Yuan originally wanted to avoid getting involved in unnecessary things. He just thought that he might be able to learn information about Hanada Kochi from that incident. As for later finding out that "Jindu" Asami Taro was also related to this incident, it was completely An unexpected bonus.

Apart from this real intention, finding the murderer of Akutsu Saburo through such investigations is the reason for doing these investigations on the surface.

Therefore, on the surface, he was trying his best to help the police investigate the murder of Saburo Akutsu, and then secretly learned as much information as possible about Hanada Kochi and "Jintreau"——

This is the tone set for what I am going to do now. Try not to touch any extended investigation beyond this.

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan finally felt a little helpless——

Unexpectedly, Miyano Akemi, whom he had worked so hard to investigate, actually knew Taro Asami directly.

This can be said to be "searching for him thousands of times". If Miyano Akemi could wake up, he could now learn about the news about Asami Taro by asking her.

But then again, isn't the purpose of my investigation of Asami Taro just to investigate the whereabouts of Hanada Kochi?

The ultimate purpose of conducting such an investigation is to deal with the threat posed by Hanada Megumi.

Since Hanada Emi is aware of his existence, what should he do if one day she comes to him on a whim and accidentally discovers the existence of Xiao Ai? This is what she wants to confirm the whereabouts of Hanada Kochi and Hanada Emi's life experience. original purpose.

Now, I already know the whereabouts of Hanada Kochi, but how should I use this truth?

Moreover, it seems that I haven't seen Hanada Emi for a long time. Even when I was at the "SONOKO" hotel, I didn't find any trace of Hanada Emi being involved...

Could it be that when he dropped the bait on Shikoku Island, she had completely diverted her attention away? In other words, she has already investigated some truth based on the clues she deliberately left behind?

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan sighed helplessly, and then turned the letter paper that he had read to the last line to the back, subconsciously intending to confirm that he had read all the contents on the letter paper.

However, when Gao Yuan turned the letter to the back, he saw a line of small words written in the middle of the letter:

"By the way, I have some news that I don't know if it will be useful to you. When I was a kid, there was a little boy near my house who loved to fight. Now he seems to have changed his name and joined the organization, and he also has the code name 'Bourbon'. Although I didn’t have much contact with him in the organization when I grew up, and I heard many things from the Maharaja, I always felt that he was the same as the Maharaja.”

Seeing this, all the contents on the letter were read, and the last small paragraph written on the back made Gao Yuan stunned for a moment, and then he sighed with some understanding——

Of course I, who is familiar with the original work, know what Miyano Akemi wrote in this new chapter. She is talking about Toru Amuro.

When he was a child, before the Miyanos joined the organization and were still running a small clinic, Toru Amuro, whose real name was Rei Fukitani, was often injured in fights, and was often dragged into the Miyanos' small clinic by Akemi Miyano. treat.

After Rei Fukiya became a Japanese public security policeman, he changed his name to Toru Amuro, infiltrated the organization undercover, and was given the code name "Bourbon".

Gao Yuan naturally knows these things without the need for others to tell them.

Gao Yuan even knew that Toru Amuro was an undercover agent at this moment. Except for a few public security policemen and senior police officials, no one else knew that he was also an undercover agent.

But now, after seeing the text in Miyano Akemi's letter, it is obvious that just like Akai Shuichi, Amuro Toru's undercover identity was also seen through by Miyano Akemi!

and……

"It seems", "I heard".

Such words indicate that Miyano Akemi has not even formally contacted and confirmed with Toru Amuro, who has infiltrated the organization. Mostly relying on some information revealed by Shuichi Akai, Miyano Akemi has already speculated that "Bourbon" may be It was the person she knew when she was a child who had changed his name, and she deduced that he was an undercover agent like Shuichi Akai!

what is this?

Do real hunters appear as prey?

As an undercover agent, if his identity is seen through, his mission will be a failure. The most terrifying thing is that he has not even realized that he has been seen through...

Shuichi Akai is so...

The same is true now for Toru Amuro...

As for Gin, who is the face of the organization, he has never seen through their undercover status. If it weren't for "Rum", Akai Shuichi's undercover mission might have been completed two years ago.

From this point of view, to a certain extent, Miyano Akemi's intelligence is comparable to "Rum", and is still better than Kudo Shinichi...

This is something that I can relate to when I was cornered by Miyano Akemi.

It's just a pity that Kong, who has all his wisdom, is ultimately unable to cope with the huge power of the organization...
