Conan: Another Famous Detective

At noon the next day, the doctor's house.

After receiving the news, Conan immediately rushed over from the Mori Detective Agency.

Yu Gongming and Meng Yu were already waiting for him here. In less than a day, they had found many clues about Haneda Koji.

In front of the doctor's computer, Mengyu softly read the information he found:

"Koji Haneda, seventeen years ago, when he was a four-time shogi champion, he went to the United States to participate in a chess competition that he usually played out of interest."

"But just the night before the game, he was attacked by unknown persons in the hotel room where he was staying, and eventually died. His room was turned into a mess. He seemed to have resisted when he was killed, but the direct cause of death was unknown."

"On the same day, the American bourgeoisie Amanda Hughes died in another room of the same hotel. The cause of death is also a mystery. At the same time, Amanda was also a loyal fan of Haneda Koji, and the two seemed to have communicated."

"After the incident, Amanda's personal bodyguard disappeared. Therefore, the police listed the bodyguard, whom Amanda called Asaka, as the biggest suspect and traced her whereabouts, but so far there has been no result. "

"The identity of that bodyguard is also a mystery. It is said that Amanda's relatives and related people do not know the reason why Amanda hired this person as a bodyguard."

Conan looked at Xiao Ai: "Do you know this Qianxiang?"

Xiao Ai shook his head: "I don't know, but this happened seventeen years ago after all. Maybe she was once a member of the organization."

Conan nodded and signaled Mengyu to continue.

Dream Talk continued: "On the day of the crime, Amanda seemed to have visited Haneda Koji's room. Amanda's fingerprints were left on the doorknobs, sofa armrests, plates and forks in Haneda's room."

Mengyu said, calling up a photo: "This is the photo taken in the room at that time."

Conan took a closer look: "Look at these tableware, they seem to have ordered black tea and cakes... Are they enjoying afternoon tea? But these tableware are broken, and there are fragments everywhere in the room... Hmm? There seems to be glass mixed in the broken tableware. ...Is it a mirror?”

"Pay attention to the letters above." Yu Gongming reminded.

Conan immediately looked at the mirror and murmured: "PTON?"

"Based on the investigation, it is initially speculated that the meaning is [PUT ON MASCARA], which means putting on mascara." Mengyu explained:

"At that time, a cosmetics manufacturer was running a campaign, and when you bought mascara, you got a portable mirror. This sentence was printed on the mirror. The asset owner Amanda is an old woman who is over eighty years old, so I speculated that the mirror was bigger. Maybe it’s Haneda Koji’s, after all, as a chess player, you should pay more attention to appearance, right?”

Conan looked at the photo and frowned slightly: "But the room is a bit too messy. If it was organized, would it be so rough?"

"If it was an organization that did it, after killing the people, they would leave as if nothing happened." Xiao Ai said calmly.

Meng Yu nodded: "This is indeed a doubtful point. According to the information, not only the bedroom was turned over in Haneda's room, it was extremely messy, but the water in the faucet in the bathroom also kept flowing."

"In comparison, there is nothing unusual about Amanda's room, except that there is an extra corpse among the tenants." Meng Yu said and brought up another photo.

The photo shows a more luxurious room, which is much tidier than Haneda Koji's room.

"This is more like an organization's style." Conan commented.

"Assuming that the death of Haneda Koji was also caused by the organization, then something should have happened in Haneda's room, so that the person who did it had to mess up the room." Hanemiya Akira said calmly.

Conan looked thoughtful, and soon his eyes lit up: "Did Koji Haneda recognize the person who did it and left a code in the room?"

"But what kind of secret code requires making the room so messy to eliminate it?" Xiao Ai was a little confused.

"This is unknown for the time being. It seems that nothing similar to a code has been found." Meng Yu said.

Hmm..." Conan's eyes flashed slightly and asked: "Then you just said that Haneda Koji once resisted. Do you have more detailed information? "

"Yes." Mengyu scrolled down the page and said: "His arms seem to have defensive wounds from being punched and kicked by the opponent and he launched a defense."

"There were also marks on his right hand, which were left by holding the small scissors provided in the room tightly in his hand."

"Hold the scissors tightly in your hands?" The doctor, who had been silently doing soy sauce, suddenly said in surprise.

Conan looked at the doctor in confusion: "What's wrong, doctor?"

The doctor scratched his head: "It's nothing. It's just that a murder occurred in Okuho Town this morning. I heard that the victim was holding the scissors I invented, and he died in this state."

"So, Officer Megure asked me to go over there after noon and explain the situation about the scissors."

"Oh? Is it the scissors that make a very loud clicking sound when the handles are closed?" Xiao Ai seemed to know this invention.

Conan twitched his lips: "So can the doctor's invention be sold?"

"What are you talking about! Many of my inventions have been well received!" the doctor said dissatisfied.

"So, if possible, can you let me go to the murder scene with you?" A voice interrupted the conversation between several people.

Everyone turned around and saw Okiya Subaru walking in unhurriedly with his hands in his pockets.

"Huh? Why are you here?" Xiao Ai frowned.

"Of course Detective Hanomiya asked me to come here." Okiya Subaru smiled.

"Oh." Xiao Ai responded lightly, then turned his head, not wanting to pay attention to this person.

Okiya Subaru smiled and said, "How about it, can I come over?"

Yu Gongming smiled and said: "Of course, we also have some questions to ask Mr. Subaru."

"Okay, let's set off now." Conan said impatiently.

Okiya Subaru glanced at Xiao Ai: "You don't have to go with so many people, right?"

Xiao Ai raised an eyebrow: "What? Do you want me to look after the house alone?"

Okiya Subaru smiled and said, "Of course not."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked into the living room.

"Hi! Xiao Ai!" A gentle female voice filled with joy sounded.

Xiao Ai's eyes widened instantly: "Sister...Miss Qingmei?"

"It's me!" Yasuda Harumi said with a smile: "How about letting you, a child, look after the house? Before they come back, let me accompany Xiao Ai."

"Eh? Is it okay for Miss Harumi to just leave the dessert shop like this?" the doctor asked doubtfully.

"It's okay, there are already a lot of people in the store, enough to handle the customers." Yasuda Harumi said with a smile.

"No problem, I'll stay!" Xiao Ai's tone was extremely firm. At the same time, he ran to Yasuda Harumi and took her hand. He turned to everyone and said, 'Okay, you can leave quickly and don't worry about me. ’

Yu Gongming looked at Xiao Ai's chasing away expression and said with a smile: "Okay, okay! Let's leave right away!"

Later, Akira Hanomiya and his team took the doctor's Beetle and rushed to the scene of the crime.
