Conan's other me

Chapter 81 People who have read the script ([-])

"Which one?"

Feng Yuan asked curiously.

Yusaku Kudo is a famous mystery novelist. Although he often procrastinates, he has written countless mystery novels.

Kudo Yukiko was silent for a moment.

She reached for her bag again, probably wanting to read the little book, but stopped half way through.

"Oh, it's true!" Kudo Yukiko complained, "Your father read a few fragments of novels he remembered on the phone and asked me to tell you, how can I remember them!"

She jotted down a few notes in a hurry, but the notes were in a mess and she felt unable to take them out.

"I'd better start from the beginning with you."

"Ah."

"Actually, we wanted to come back because I saw a report in a Japanese newspaper in the United States," Kudo Yukiko said while leaning sideways, "It said that the robber in a jewelry store left a strange sentence and ran away without taking anything."

"That sentence was 'this is different from what I said at the time'. I told your dad because I had a little impression. He also said that the rough actions of the professional robber and the mysterious words he left at the scene are exactly the same as the beginning of a mystery novel he wrote ten years ago."

"It's just that the one that was robbed in the novel was an antique art shop."

Seeing Feng Yuan thoughtful, Kudo Yukiko continued.

"Then I went to check the phone number of the jewelry store and called and asked if the owner had booked a long-distance train that would go through the long tunnel."

"Because the owner of the antique art shop in the novel was shot dead in the train."

"Then they said six days later, which is now three days later, they would take the Big Dipper train."

"These are almost exactly the same as in the novel," Kudo Yukiko said, "How about it, Xiaoxin, remember?"

Of course Fengyuan remembered.

Kudo Shinichi has read this novel, which means that he has read it too, and he still remembers it clearly.The novel was not finished yet, and the original manuscript was snatched away by robbers by accident, so Yusaku Kudo gave up directly.

But apart from some modus operandi that haven't had time to spread out, the whole story is considered complete.

On the other hand, the original memory also has a certain impression of this incident.Although he had a very shallow impression of the case because the colleagues he had seen before time travel did not write much about the case, but with the mutual confirmation of Kudo Shinichi's memory, he gradually remembered it.

He can now be said to know the script - if things are really going to unfold like in Yusaku Kudo's novel.

"Well, I remember." Fengyuan replied, "What's wrong?"

"Your father has forgotten some details, and even the most important tricks. But we are not here to remember this."

"Both your father and I felt that there would be a murder like in the novel. So I rushed back and planned to buy a ticket for the same train," Kudo Yukiko continued, "to prevent the murder from happening."

"Then I came to discuss with you, Xiaoxin. How about it, do you have any ideas?"

"...Let me think about it."

"Uh-huh."

Kudo Yukiko replied, then rested her elbows on her knees, resting her chin and looking at Fengbara thinking.

This kid thinks a lot like Yusaku...

Kudo Yukiko thought to herself.

On the other side, Fengyuan began to integrate the memories.

If the script goes according to the script, the murderer is the manager of the robbed store, who was previously a member of a three-person robber group.

He sneaked into the jewelry store that he planned to loot, but his girlfriend died because of being drugged by the leader of the robber group.

Then he discovers that the jewelry store owner is actually in the drug business.At this time, he discovered that his situation was almost exactly the same as the content of the novel he snatched, so as a fan of mystery novels, he had the idea of ​​killing people according to the novel.

He planned to kill the owner of the jewelry store and the leader of the robber group on the train.

A murderer who seems to be killing people for the people, killed a detective in black-rimmed glasses who liked to show off in Yusaku Kudo's novel.

And if things continue to go according to the script, in reality he will try to kill Yukiko Kudo, who plays the detective in order to lure him.

So... all villains.

Therefore, even if things really happened, it was acceptable to Feng Yuan.He had no intention of saving these people.

But Kudo Yukiko and Kudo Yusaku came all the way back just to prevent the case from happening.

To Fengyuan, compared with the feelings of close and familiar people, his own "likes" are not worth mentioning at all.And it doesn't conform to his "setting" if he doesn't care at this point.

So after a little thought, Feng Yuan decided to help.

"What was your original plan?"

Kudo Yukiko seemed to be fascinated by Fengyuan's thinking, and it took a while to react.

"When I called the jewelry store earlier, I just asked the owner, Mr. Izumo, the date of the train ride.

But the Big Dipper has three cars a day, we didn't ask clearly before, so your father and I plan to ride separately.There are two cars passing through the tunnel at night, I will go to Beidouxing No. [-], and your father will go to Beidouxing No. [-]. "

The tricks in the novel can only be used when passing through the tunnel at night.So they only need to be responsible for two cars.

"...Why don't you ask again?" Fengyuan asked.

"Because I'm worried that the other side will be suspicious."

"Then... call the police?"

"…Eh?"

"You can ask the police to check Mr. Izumo's train number. The robbery has just happened, and the criminal has not been caught yet, and may even retaliate. Even if you ask in the name of follow-up investigation, it is not surprising."

"Based on Dad's relationship with the Mumu Police Department, it shouldn't be a problem to ask him."

If it doesn't work, you can go to Kudo Shinichi's account to ask.

Since the incident on the final day of the Emperor's Cup last time, the Megure Police Department has full trust in the "planning" brother Kudo.

"It seems so," Kudo Yukiko put her index finger on her chin and thought for a while, "Why didn't Yusaku think of that."

"And," Feng Yuan continued, "there's no need to bother you to go to the car yourself."

Kudo Yukiko was taken aback for a moment, then looked over.

"The jeweler's robber—"

"Yasuji Asama." Noticing that Fengyuan paused, Yukiko Kudo helped to add the information, "He is the leader of a three-person bandit group, and the police are looking for him."

"——Since Asama Anji said that, it means that there is someone in the store who has discussed with him before, which is the same as the plot in Dad's novel. In the novel, this person is also the last murderer and the manager of that store.

It doesn't matter if he is not the store manager, he must be one of the people present at that time, and he will also take the Big Dipper with him.In this way, the identity of the prisoner can be locked. "

Kudo Yukiko blinked, trying to understand what Fengbara said.Feng Yuan continued to speak.

"And if he wants to kill Anji Asama in the car, Anji Asama must first be in the car, or even near him—if he wants to use the tricks in the novel.

So the police can follow the vine to catch Anji Asama.Anji Asama will feel that he has been betrayed, and he will inevitably bite out the prisoner who was his accomplice before. "

"In this way, what you are worried about will not happen." Fengyuan concluded.

After a pause, looking at Yukiko Kudou staring at him as if in a daze, Fengyuan realized that he seemed to have talked too much, so he added: "It should be... right?"

Kudo Yukiko finally understood.

There is actually one meaning in these words.

Call the police.
