Conan: Another Famous Detective

"Wakida Kanori?" Mengyu seemed to ask with interest: "What kind of person is he? How good is his craftsmanship?"

Conan recalled for a while and said: "He seemed to be a cheerful uncle with a quite distinctive appearance. He had two very exaggerated front teeth in his mouth and wore an eyepatch on his left eye. According to him, it was caused by an accident. I’m blind in my left eye.”

"As for the craftsmanship, I can only say that it's pretty good. It's indeed a little worse than Mengyu and Mr. Amuro, but it's much better than the pastry chef in the original cafe."

Having said this, Conan's expression became a little more serious: "However, I always feel that that guy is not that simple."

"Oh? What do you say?" Yu Gongming asked.

Conan said: "After Uncle Maori helped catch the thief, this guy came up to him like a fan and an idol. He said that he had admired the famous Maori detective for a long time. He also said that he came to work here just for the Maori detective."

"Finally, I want to take Uncle Maori as my teacher and let him teach him reasoning skills..."

After a pause, Conan continued: "That's fine if that's the case, but I noticed that his eyes would fall on me from time to time, as if he wanted to explore something."

"He and I met for the first time at that time. Although he was the thief I discovered, I didn't point it out directly. Instead, I told my uncle about the abnormality and asked him to deduce the identity of the thief."

"To ordinary people, it seems that the famous detective Mouri Kogoro is showing off his power, but Wakita seems to have noticed my existence... And we should have discussed it before, right? About the organization's boss's confidant Rum?"

"We have indeed discussed it." Hanemiya Ming naturally understood what Conan meant and said calmly: "According to the rumors, that Rum is one-eyed, right?"

"Yeah!" Conan nodded: "So I think that guy is a bit unusual, so be careful when you go there."

Yu Gongming smiled: "Don't worry, since you have reminded me, we will only let him know what he should know!"

"As long as you know what's going on." Conan nodded and said no more.

He still has great confidence in the abilities of Yu Gong and Akira.

Afterwards, after chatting for a few more words, Conan said goodbye and left.

Meng Yu turned her head and looked at Yu Gongming: "What do you think of this Wakida?"

Akira Hanomiya put his hands on the desk and clasped them in front of his nose, assuming a classic bad-commander posture, and said leisurely: "Although Rum's identity has not been announced when I traveled through time, I personally prefer Kane Wakida. Then it’s rum.”

"Tell me about it!" Meng Yu pretended to be all ears.

Akira Hanomiya said calmly: "It's still Conan's classic choice of three. Before I traveled through time, it was the chef Wakada Kanori; the teacher Rumi Wakasa from Teitan Elementary School; and the new manager of the Metropolitan Police Investigation Section 1, Hei Kuroda. The three guards are Rum suspects.”

"Without exception, these three people are all inextricably linked to the Haneda Koji case 17 years ago. Coupled with the secret code left by Haneda Koji, no one of the three can completely rule out Rum's suspicion."

"But the timing of Wakita's appearance is quite subtle. Just some time ago, Rum just gave Toru Amuro the order to get rid of Gin, and Amuro did [kill] Gin."

"Then a few days later, Wakita suddenly appeared and keenly discovered Conan's problem. Is it too much of a coincidence?"

"As for the two Rum suspects left, Xiao Ai's attitude towards Ruo Sa in the original work was quite ambiguous, and he didn't seem to feel that she belonged to the organization."

"According to Mr. Amuro's information, Rum is now the person in charge of Tokyo affairs, and his connection with the organization has not been broken. How could Xiao Ai, who can even capture the residual aura of Mr. Akai, who has been undercover for a long time, not discover Rum? The breath?"

"So, I think Wakasa's chances of being Rum are minimal."

"There is also Kuroda Hei. I think it is unlikely that he is Rum. In the original work, he and Mr. Amuro talked on the phone and called Mr. Amuro Bourbon."

"At that time, he used the image and voice of Kuroda Hei, without any voice change processing. If he is Rum, then Mr. Amuro has at least heard Rum's voice and even met Rum."

"But judging from our contact with Mr. Amuro, his knowledge of Rum is quite limited. If nothing else, just because we know his undercover identity, he will not hide such key information from us. "

"So, rather than Rum, I think Kuroda Hei is someone like Mr. Amuro's superior."

"Based on the clues in the original work and what we saw and heard, Wakita is undoubtedly the most suspicious. However, if he is Rum, there is one thing I can't figure out."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Meng Yu asked doubtfully.

Akira Hanomiya replied: "The reason why Rum appears near Conan in the original work is because Kudo Shinichi, who was already [dead], suddenly appeared during the school trip."

"The [impatient] Rum is very interested in this [resurrected] person."

"But the situation is completely different now. Let alone there is no news about taking a break from school to travel. Even if there is, do you think that with the current relationship between Conan and Xiaolan, does Conan still need to resume the identity of Kudo Shinichi like in the original work to participate?"

"It shouldn't be necessary." Meng Yu replied with a firm tone: "Now that the two of them have not only shown off, but also confirmed their relationship, there is no need for Conan to participate in such a thing as taking a break from school."

"Yes!" Akira Hanomiya lightly knocked on the coffee table: "Since Kudo Shinichi is unlikely to show up during the school break, there should be no reason for Rum to take action."

"If he acted because of the organization's recent events, then why did he go to Poirot Cafe again? There shouldn't be anything suspicious about Conan or his uncle in the recent events, right?"

Meng Yu showed a thoughtful look and guessed: "Perhaps he discovered something suspicious about Conan from somewhere, so he came to Conan under the guise of getting close to his uncle?"

"Here for Conan?" Yu Gongming murmured, feeling that it was not impossible.

Although Conan has restrained himself a lot with their help and beating, leaving fewer traces than in the original work, but under the butterfly effect, who knows where Rum will find the flaw?

As the follower of the sleeping Kogoro, he often appears on TV.

The organization suffered successive setbacks due to their intervention. It was not surprising that Rum made great efforts to investigate and discovered some clues.

Akira Hanomiya clicked his tongue: "I didn't expect that after Mr. Amuro came to our side, Uncle Mouri actually accepted this apprentice... In this case, let's go and meet Wakida for a while!"
