Conan: Another Famous Detective

Yu Gongming coughed lightly: "Since you came to us today, I think you should have gained something from that infiltration, right?"

"Of course!" Shiliang said with some pride: "Not only did we find the files of the case from that year, we also found the relevant evidence, especially the appraisal opinion comparing the suicide note and the notes!"

"I took photos of the original suicide note and the comparison sample, and then took it outside to the relevant agency for re-identification of the handwriting."

"If it's not the original, will it affect the identification results?" Conan asked doubtfully.

Sera smiled and said: "Okay! Today's cameras are not like those of the past. You don't have to worry about the clarity and reproduction!"

She paused for a moment: "The identification technology now is much more mature than it was back then. After identification, it was found that the similarity between the notes in the suicide note and the victim's notes was not enough to prove that they were written by the same person!"

"Sure enough!" Conan shouted, and Yu Gongming and Meng Yu also looked as expected.

Seriang was very satisfied with the expressions of several people and continued: "After it was confirmed that it was not suicide, things became clearer, because in the inquiry transcript in the file, the doctor's family mentioned that he had just completed a It’s a very difficult plastic surgery.”

"The patient had multiple burns on his face, especially the damage to his right eye, which made the operation quite difficult."

"However, the doctor still completed the operation perfectly with his superb skills. He specially boasted to his family and friends for a while, which left an impression on his family."

"After that, we started looking around with Wakasa's photos. Finally, the doctor's son recalled seeing her around the house when he was packing up his father's belongings."

"After checking this, we can almost confirm that the doctor's death must be related to Wakasa!"

Yu Gongming chuckled: "To put it more radically, she should have killed the doctor, right?"

Shiliang shook his head slightly, with a look of helplessness on his face: "Frankly speaking, I think so too, but after 17 years, I'm afraid there is no evidence left that can point to her, not to mention that the prosecution period has passed, even if the police find something suspicious, A case will not be filed.”

There was silence.

Knowing that an innocent person died in vain and the murderer is still at large, but unable to change anything, is obviously not a good feeling.

However, Yu Gongming quickly adjusted his mentality. His creed is to do what he can while protecting the safety of those around him.

Since you are unable to do so, there is no need to persist.

"What's next?" He motioned Seriang to continue.

Sera said: "Although it has been determined that Wakasa needed plastic surgery because of something, and he killed the doctor who performed plastic surgery to prevent his identity from being exposed."

"But there is no direct evidence that she is Asaka."

"With the attitude of giving it a try, we asked the director to tell us the addresses or contact information of the doctors and nurses who worked with the deceased at that time. We took the photo of Asaka without her face and went to find them one by one."

"Some of them have been unable to be contacted. Fortunately, most of them are locals in Gunma Prefecture, and some of them have been contacted one after another."

"When we asked one of the retired nurses, she recalled that the patient at that time had made the same gesture as Asaka in the photo!"

"We confirmed again and again, and the nurse said that her memory was absolutely correct, because when the other person made this gesture, she felt a little uncomfortable for no reason, so she was very impressed."

"Is it almost certain now?" Meng Yu said with a smile: "Although there is no direct evidence, so many clues connected in series are enough to draw a conclusion."

"Yes!" Sera nodded: "We also thought that it was enough to find out here, so we returned to Tokyo and planned to conduct a more in-depth investigation of Wakasa."

"In the end, as I told you before, I was almost caught by her, and I never dared to act rashly again."

"Didn't you detect any information at all?" Conan asked.

"That's not true." Seriang smiled and said, "That's why I came to see you this time."

After hearing this, several people's expressions immediately became more focused.

Sera continued: "When we were following her, we found that she seemed to be investigating news about someone recently."

"Who?" Conan frowned.

A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Sera's mouth: "It's an entrepreneur named Endo Shinji. He was just arrested by the police some time ago on suspicion of several economic crimes including tax evasion, as well as intentional homicide, illegal manufacturing, and possession. Firearms and ammunition and other felony arrests.”

The three of them were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then their expressions became strange.

Meng Yu blinked: "If I remember correctly, Endo Shinji is actually..."

"It's a disguised identity of Rum." Yu Gongming said calmly.

They have been paying attention to the police's movements, so they can naturally learn the relevant news.

Conan pushed up his glasses and said thoughtfully: "So that's it. I said she seems to have paid less attention to me recently. Is it because she was attracted by other things?"

"So it's quite interesting, isn't it?" Shiliang said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, Rum was tricked into the police station by your joint police not long ago."

"Did she know that this was Rum when she was investigating Endo?" Meng Yu wondered: "If she didn't know before, it would be even less likely to know after Rum was arrested; if she knew before, why did she investigate now? "

"She should have known early on that Shinji Endo was one of Rum's identities." Akira Hanamiya analyzed: "Endo's arrest was not very popular except for those of us who really paid attention."

"This was only briefly mentioned in the news. It was obviously deliberately suppressed, and this was only the two days after the arrest. As for now, I'm afraid not many people remember this."

"But Wakasa was able to investigate Endo with a clear purpose. She obviously knew what it meant. As for why she didn't investigate before..."

"It should be because Rum's situation is different, right?" Conan said calmly: "It turns out that Rum is the second-in-command of the black organization, his whereabouts are secretive, and he holds a lot of power in the organization."

"But now, he has become a prisoner, and the organization has been forced to retreat temporarily under the attack of the police. Rum's situation can be said to have plummeted."

After listening to the analysis of the two detectives, Meng Yu showed a look of surprise: "In other words, she didn't investigate originally because she couldn't afford to offend her, but now she thinks the opportunity has come?"

"That's right!" Sera smiled and said, "Both Rum and Wakasa were witnesses of the incident that year, and I don't want to let it go so easily!"

Yumiya understood clearly: "That's why you found us and wanted us to help, right?"

"That's right!" Shiliang said calmly.
