"What a wonderful reasoning."
In the room, after Haibara Ai finished her reasoning, Igarashi Kiyoko smiled and clapped her hands gently, then took out the cigarette case on her body, took out a cigarette and lit it for herself skillfully.
Her set of actions gave Haihara Ai a strong sense of familiarity.
After blowing out a smoke ring, "Igarashi Kiyoko" looked at her, her eyebrows raised, and her tone of voice completely changed.
"Although there were some mistakes in the process, the final result was correct... Congratulations, you guessed it right, little detective. My true identity is Belmod."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and touched her face.
"Of course, because this face will have some small uses later on, I won't tear it off and show it to you this time."
"Where is the real Igarashi Kiyoko?" Haibara Ai asked immediately.
After confirming Belmod's identity, she suddenly felt confident.
"Don't worry, she is safe. After all, I don't have the hobby of killing people casually, but you..."
Looking at Haibara Ai, Bermod's other hand gestured to the detective badge she was holding.
"There are quite a few weird little things on your body. Not to mention the mask that can change your voice. This little badge... I just studied it when you were unconscious. It should have a positioning function. ?”
Hearing her words, Hui Yuarai's heart sank.
"You were able to be so calm after waking up before, probably because of this thing, right? After all, as long as it is still with you, no matter where I take you, your companions can use it to locate your location.
Maybe they are even on their way here now, am I right? Conan? "
Belmod's words directly revealed the true identity of the "Haihara Ai" in front of him.
This was not difficult for her to discover. When she took off Conan's mask before taking a group photo at the guest house, she had already discovered the voice changer hidden inside the mask.
When there was an explosion at the Guesthouse, after she took the unconscious Conan away, she recognized the disguise mask on his face. At that time, she had already confirmed Conan's identity.
"Sure enough, you have discovered it." After his identity was revealed, Conan, who was disguised as Haibara Ai, admitted immediately without covering up.
He was not surprised by this. Rather, his reasoning just now was based on this. After all, in the current organization, there are only people who know his identity but will not do anything inappropriate to him. So few.
"Speaking of which, the technique of the disguise mask on your face seems quite familiar to me... Did Yukiko make it for you? Could it be that she has returned to Japan?"
After all, they came from the same school, and Belmode had long recognized the origin of the disguise mask on Conan's face.
Hearing her question, Conan remained silent and did not answer.
Bellmode's guess was correct. Kudo Yukiko, his obscure mother, returned to Japan from the United States yesterday, and she came back with Mr. Akai.
It is said that the two met on the same flight because of a series of coincidental events... Although the two people spoke clearly, Conan always felt that the two of them were hiding something from him, but he had not yet Just found the opportunity to ask...
"The dress-up trick, I really didn't expect you guys to have such great... courage."
Not paying attention to Conan's silence, Belmod sneered, shook his head, and threw the detective badge back to Conan.
"What do you mean?" Conan asked quickly, feeling that there was something in her words.
"It means that if you really appear in front of Regel like this, you won't be able to deceive him even for a second with your little tricks."
"Why do you say that?" Conan asked with a frown.
In his opinion, his mother's disguise skills were no worse than Belmod's. At least he couldn't see anything wrong with Haiyuan's disguise mask.
"The reason is simply because Regal knows Shirley very well, better than anyone in our organization."
Turning around and putting out the cigarette butt in the ashtray on the desk, Belmod said quietly:
"Little guy, how can it be so easy to pretend to be another person? You just made a face that looks the same. That child has spent more than half of his life growing up next to Regel. Big one, he can see through whether you are real or fake with just one test."
[So does Haiyuan and Regel still have this relationship? 】
Although Belmode didn't say it clearly, Conan still heard it. When Haiyuan was in the organization before, it seemed that he was raised by Regel?
"So, you should be glad that I took you away, otherwise if Regel really saw you, you might die faster..." Belmod looked at him and said meaningfully.
[Happy? otherwise? 】
Conan was keenly aware of the logical chain in Belmod's words that did not conform to his previous reasoning. He frowned and thought for a moment. He suddenly raised his head, looked at Belmod in disbelief, and hurriedly asked:
"Wait! You mean that the fact that you took me away was not Regel's instruction? It was you yourself..."
He finally understood the meaning of the noncommittal attitude shown by Belmod when he reasoned about Belmod's mission in organizing this operation.
"Yes, it was my own decision to take you away." Belmod responded to his guess, and added thoughtfully: "My original mission was just to use my current identity to inform the police to surround this Edo Street. , and by the way, ensure that you will not die in the explosion of the guest house, as for the task of taking you away..."
At this point, Belmod pondered for a moment before continuing: "Maybe it was handed over to Bourbon and Kiel..."
She lied.
Belmode knew Bai Heqing's character too well. In an organization where undercover agents gathered together, Bai Heqing was an absolute "nepotist". Anything he considered important would only be handed over to the people he trusted the most. Among them, the two's daughter Bai Hejing is the leader.
As for Bourbon and Kiel, although in the eyes of uninformed people in the organization, these two people seem to have gradually been reused by Shirakawa Kiyoshi, but based on Belmod's understanding of him, this is simply impossible.
It is extremely difficult for Bai Heqing to truly trust someone, although he always seems to be so "happy to trust people".
Today, Ah Jing is also in the lobby of the Guest House.
This also means that if Bai Heqing hands over the task of hunting Shirley to Ah Jing, it means that everything is normal and the development of things is as expected by Bellmode.
But if not... that means her previous assumptions were all wrong.
Because it is impossible for Bai Heqing to entrust such an important task of hunting down Shirley to someone else he does not trust.
"Click!"
While Belmod was thinking about this, there was a sudden slight movement on the street outside.
She immediately took out her phone and called up a camera around the house.
When she saw the picture from the camera, Belmod's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
The person who appeared in the surveillance screen was not Ah Jing.
It’s Bourbon and Kiel.

Regardless of their current behavior, their motives are always for his own good.
