"Sit down. The water dispenser is outside. If you want to drink, pour it yourself. Remember to close the door when you go in and out."
Picking up a newspaper with the headline "Sleeping Detective: Kogoro Mori" written on the front page and throwing it on the table, Katsuki Uehara reminded him.
"..."
Conan was a little confused.
How were you sure he was Kudo Shinichi?
He hasn't said a word yet.
"Judging from your reaction, I must have guessed it right." Katsuki Uehara shook his head. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, this would be quite bizarre.
“After the Shinkansen bombing, I once found a bug wrapped in chewing gum on the seat where the bomber was riding.
"After testing, the bug contained the fingerprints of one and only one person, and that was the fingerprints of high school detective Kudo Shinichi who had disappeared for a long time."
——? !
Conan was shocked when he suddenly heard Katsumi Uehara mention this, and looked at the man in shock.
Seeing his performance, Katsuki Uehara grinned and smiled even more happily: "My expression at that time should be similar to yours now, because I checked and found that Kudo Shinichi did not board the Shinkansen, but Why was there a bug with his fingerprints on the bomber's seat?
"After the serial killer confirmed that there was a bomb, I checked again with all the people who had interacted with the prisoner.
"It was shocking to find that, apart from the woman who wanted to buy the gold information, the only people who had contact with the two bombers were the Maori family and a few children.
"I have found the corresponding information for all those people, but only you, Edogawa Conan, I can't find the household registration information no matter how much I check.
"Since then, I have had a bold guess in my mind, and in order to confirm this guess in my mind, I deliberately placed the evidence box on my table, just to see if Kudo Shinichi would realize it. I have a problem with my fingerprints, so I came here to change the bug and replace the bug."
Having said this, Katsuki Uehara spread his hands and raised his eyebrows and said: "The fact is, you came to change the bug. Then, I thought of a question.
"In Serial Murder, Takagi, who discovered Kirino's daughter, once said something. At that time, there was Kudo Shinichi who disappeared from the campus for more than ten days like Kirino Sakurako.
"Although this idea is quite absurd, after I carefully compared the time point when Detective Mori became famous, the time point when Kudo Shinichi disappeared, and the time point when you appeared in Tedan Elementary School, I gradually confirmed this fact."
"Exclude all impossibilities, no matter how incredible the remaining fact is, it is the unquestionable truth."
After closing the door and lowering his head slightly, Conan's lenses shone with light, and he said self-deprecatingly: "Actually, I also wondered why your evidence box was placed on the table, but my anxious mentality still prompted me to first Replace the bug."
Considering the ability shown by Uehara Katsumi, Conan has no doubt that these words are false.
This is why he felt the need to hide himself in front of this policeman before.
However, he still had one last doubt at the moment: "But, Uehara Police Department, there is no record of my fingerprints in the police station, and I have wiped all the fingerprints at home. Where did you get my fingerprints for comparison?" of?"
"Well..."
Katsuki Uehara smiled and said, "What do you think?"
"...Dr. Ali." Thinking of what he had told the police about Dr. Ali's invention, Conan fell silent.
Should this be reckoned with, or was he the one who betrayed Dr. Ali himself?
"While in the hospital, Sato told me that my life was saved thanks to the help of a child named Edogawa Conan. He used Dr. Agasa's invention to determine my position in the water. .
"So, after looking through the dossier of this case, I started to investigate you. After all, your appearance is really incredible. In addition, you made me sleepy and simulated my voice today..."
"...Indeed, now that I think about it, I was really too impatient."
Conan, whose identity was exposed, sighed: "Uehara Police Department, what I am going to say next is bizarre."
"I'm a professional, no matter how bizarre the situation is, I can handle it."
"Yes, I am high school detective Kudo Shinichi. The reason why things turned out the way they are now starts from that day.
"That day, my childhood sweetheart Xiaolan and I went to the amusement park and accidentally witnessed the underground money transactions of a mysterious organization..."
……………………………………………………
Mihua Town, the home of Dr. Ali.
The sleepy-eyed Dr. Ali yawned profusely. After completing the summary of the last experimental data, he slowly walked out of the basement in his slippers——
"Huh? That's weird, my window is not closed?"
The cold wind with sleet blew in through the unclosed window, and Dr. Ali, who was shivering from the cold, hurried over to close it.
Outside the ice-covered house, the blonde put on her helmet and rode the motorcycle straight to her private stronghold.
In a high-rise apartment in Tokyo, Belmode, who returned to her den, took the lead in testing the fingerprints she obtained from the front desk of the Today Game Exhibition Hall and Dr. Agasa's house. The comparison results made her face extremely ugly.
On the coffee table in the living room, there is also a stack of photos that she secretly took after sneaking into the Metropolitan Police Department in disguise - the "Moses Parting the Sea Explosion" dossier.
"At that time, she disappeared for more than ten days like Kirino Sakurako... Kudo Yusaku called the school to ask for leave..."
Newspapers from when Kogoro Mouri rose to fame are piled next to the photos, and then from when Edogawa Conan entered Teitan Elementary School.
"The last time Kudo Shinichi appeared in public was at Dorobiga Park in Yoneka Town. If I remember correctly, gin and vodka were also there at that time, and a piece of eucalyptus was left behind by the police, which almost delayed the transaction time. …”
Belmod's face became increasingly ugly as his thoughts gradually became clearer.
Aptx-4869.
The drugs developed by that damn woman are usually used by Gin and others as murder weapons.
But that medicine... was it successful?
Or is being smaller an unintended side effect?
As a user of the first generation of tissue medicine, the eternally youthful Bermod knew very well what the real research direction of Miyano Hiroshi and his wife was.
"Gin..."
Belmod's expression turned cold when he thought of that man.
If he were to know that Kudo Shinichi was not dead yet, according to Gin's character, it would probably be not only Edogawa Conan but also Maori Ran who would suffer...
As for the policeman today...
Belmode frowned, put down his wine glass, and at the same time bent down to pick up a photo of Katsumi Uehara from the coffee table.
Unlike Megure Thirteen, who was ridiculed by Gin and others, the abnormalities this man showed after waking up from anesthesia at today's game exhibition deserved her vigilance.
It is very possible that Uehara Katsumi now also knows about Kudo Shinichi - it was told to him by the exposed Conan himself.
So, will he keep it a secret?
Or will he inform the higher-ups of the police about this?
Belmod narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then took out his mobile phone and dialed a number——
"Gin, how's it going? After bombing the bar, was there any reaction from the police?"
