Conan's other self

People who are deceived by its light, even though they know that death is waiting for them, still yearn for the light involuntarily.

Hirota Masami is such a person.

She is part of a criminal organization, as is her sister, but much more important than her.

She hoped to take her sister out of the organization, but was told that she could take her sister away as long as she robbed one billion yuan.

One billion is not a small number.

But if she can do it, what does it mean to the organization?

So she knew the other party was lying to her.

But...what if?

Masami Hirota couldn't resist this temptation.

Just thinking that maybe one day her sister could still smile like she did when she was a child, it was hard for her to refuse the offer.

She is a moth chasing the flame.

However, all these plans were ruined just because she went to find a detective.

Just being suspected was not something she could accept. She cannot be targeted by the police at this time, nor can she allow the police to fully search for the "robber" Kenzo Hirota.

She had already said the wrong thing when she was just panicking.

The situation has exceeded her expectations.

However, Hirota Masami still didn't want to give up the last straw that might save her sister from the organization.

But now, the straw has been firmly grasped in the hands of the child opposite.

Masami Hirota was at a loss.

She didn't know if there was anyone else behind Fengyuan, and she couldn't bear to attack a child.

She didn't even know when she would find Kenzo Hirota, so she couldn't knock the kid out and lock him up.

So she will die.

No one in the organization would let her go, and she wouldn't even have a chance to go to jail.

But if she died...her stupid actions wouldn't bring trouble to her sister, right?

Thinking of her sister, Masami Hirota felt a hint of determination in her desperate heart.

She couldn't just give up.

So after the silence lasted for a long time, Masami Hirota raised his head, with tears on his face, and forced a smile to Feng Yuan: "...You are not Conan, right? You are the other child."

Feng Yuan without glasses gave her a completely different feeling.

"Um."

"Mind telling me who you really are?"

"... Kaedehara Sora is a detective."

"Detective... it's such a powerful profession." Hirota Masami seemed to be relieved, "You didn't even say anything to persuade me to surrender. Really, is it so easy to guess my thoughts - do you want me to surrender?" I say it myself, right?”

Feng Yuan said nothing.

Masami Hirota adjusted her breathing.

"I am actually a member of a criminal organization," Masami Hirota said. "My sister is the same as me. This organization restricts our freedom and makes us do things we don't want to do... so one day I wanted to escape. ."

"I wanted to escape from this organization and take my sister with me. They asked me to grab one billion yen to give them, and told me that they would let me and my sister go as soon as the matter was completed."

"I promised..."

After describing his motive for committing the crime, Hirota Masami began to talk about the details of the crime and his plan to rescue his sister.

She was very detailed.

She didn't care if evidence would be left behind.

The little detective's silence during this period made her feel that he was giving her an opportunity - although she didn't know why, she didn't want to miss it.

So she finished her story in one breath, and then waited for the little detective to speak as if waiting for a verdict.

In fact, Feng Yuan felt a little embarrassed.

He wanted to save Masami Hirota, not to solve the case.

But it was impossible for him to come up and say, "Hirota Masami, run with me." And he felt that to save her, he needed her cooperation.

That's why he chose to intervene in the robbery.

However, the strong-willed Masami Hirota is more fragile than he imagined, and her current appearance makes him feel like a bad person.

"Can you tell me about that organization?" After thinking for a while, Fengyuan decided to speed up the progress.

Hirota Masami hesitated.

She didn't want to involve the little detective in that behemoth.

But she wanted to convince the other party to give her back the straw that was more important than her life.

So Hirota Masami still spoke: "It is a huge organization surrounded by layers of mysteries... I am only the lowest level employee and don't know much. The representative color of the organization is black, and senior personnel do not use their own names. They all use wine names as code names..."

Masami Hirota hesitated for a moment, as if just mentioning the code name scared her, "For example, Gin and Vodka, they are the ones who told me they were willing to let me and my sister go as long as I rob one billion Japanese dollars..."

Hirota Masami continued.

But she deliberately concealed some things, including her sister's affairs.

Although Hirota Masami has some unrealistic fantasies, she also has a clear understanding of the organization's strength.

She did not believe that the police or detectives could help her save her sister - if it were that easy, she would have called the police long ago - but she was worried that a failed rescue would bring danger to her sister.

After another round of Hirota Masami's narration, Maplehara specifically asked about the appearance of gin and vodka.

Of course he knew what these two people looked like, because Kudo Shinichi had seen these two people. But Kudo Shinichi shouldn't know the code names of these two people.

Hirota Masami was obviously deeply impressed by these two people. Under her description, Maplehara completed an important step in matching them with their code names.

So, Feng Yuan could go straight to the point: "It happens that we are looking for this organization."

Hirota Masami was a little surprised.

"So, as long as you are willing to be a tainted witness, we can help you." Fengyuan continued.

"…help me?"

"That's right." Fengyuan tried, "You have to give the money to the people in the organization, and we can have the police squat at the place you agreed on in advance -"

"no."

"This won't work." Masami Hirota repeated with a pleading look, "If people in the organization think that I have defected, then my sister..."

She did not continue.

A few years ago, a very important and close person to her defected from the organization.

Since then, she, who was still relatively free, has been in an increasingly difficult situation in the organization. That guy Gin barely concealed his murderous intention towards her...

So she hopes to "resign" but does not want to "defect."

She didn't want what happened to her to happen to her sister again.

"...What do you think?"

my thoughts?

Of course I hope that I can go to the appointment alone and get the money to get my sister back.

But Hirota Masami himself knew that this was really wishful thinking.

She was just talking to the detective as a robbery convict.

And now she can't trade with money that doesn't belong to her. so…

After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Masami Hirota raised his head and looked into Maplehara's eyes.

"I hope I can go to the appointment alone." Hirota Masami said softly, "I won't bring the money there, I will just ask them to pick it up elsewhere - but don't worry, the transaction will not be completed, they just You're just lying to me..."

"I will die." Masami Hirota's voice deepened. But this way it won’t cause trouble to my sister...

"But even if I die, I want to go. I must go."
