Conan Rick's Investigator

Did Haneda Hiroshi see Karasuma Renya in person? Did he leave behind a code for Karasuma Renya?

No, Karasuma Renya said that he was the one who was killed by Rum, and this information should be correct.

In other words, Hiroji Haneda knew the mastermind behind his murder through some other means.

There is currently too little information about the specific methods used and what exactly happened in the case, so I don’t know.

Judging from what Yasuharu Haneda said, the person who recently posted information about Haneda Ann on the Internet should not be him.

He only entrusted Akai Tsutomu to investigate the case, and he only knew the basic details of the case.

So, could the person who released the information about the Haneda case be one of the eyewitnesses of the case?

"I have another favor to ask of you." After thinking for a moment, Qin Zhibo continued.

After saying a lot of things in one breath, Haneda Yasuharu took a long breath and said, "Huh—talk on."

"I found the inheritance left by Rum's father, but the inheritance is now inherited by a little girl."

"The little girl's parents are both dead. If Rum finds her, I'm afraid her life will be in danger..."

"So I want you to help take care of the little girl and this inheritance."

Qin Zhibo asked just now, the little girl's mother died in a car accident last fall. As for the little girl's father, if he guessed correctly, he should be the skeleton in the maze.

Both of them have the surname "Matsunoka", there is definitely no such coincidence in the world.

According to Yoon Shikawa Tsunezo's suicide note, the current Rum will sooner or later find the heir to the estate after his death and take back everything that belongs to him.

This puts the little girl in danger.

The most urgent task is to find someone who not only understands the inside story but also has the ability and strength to protect the little girl and the inheritance.

Yasuharu Haneda just meets these conditions.

The person on the other end of the phone thought for a moment and agreed.

"Ahem, I need some detailed information about the little girl."

"The little girl's name is Matsunaka Yuriko, she's 7 years old, and she's currently being adopted at the Beika City Welfare Home... What are you going to do?"

"I will adopt her as my adopted daughter."

"But as for the relevant qualifications, can it be easily resolved in a short period of time?"

"Don't worry, this isn't the first child I've adopted, cough..."

Did Yasuharu Haneda adopt other children?

Qin Zhibo didn't ask any more questions. He said goodbye to each other and hung up the phone.

Although Yuriko Matsunaka and the current Rum certainly do not know each other, they are blood relatives after all.

Actually, the current Rum should be of the same generation as Yuriko Matsunaka's grandfather.

It takes a big heart to adopt the granddaughter of the enemy who killed your son.

Of course, Qin Zhibo would rather believe that Haneda Yasuharu proposed to adopt Yuriko in order to find Rum.

If Rum wants to get back his father's inheritance, he only needs to find out who adopted Yuriko Matsunaka, and he will naturally find Yasuharu Haneda.

It seems that as his health deteriorates, Yasuharu Haneda is also making some kind of resolution.

……

After the call, the Gunma Prefecture police finally arrived under the leadership of Yamamura Cao.

First, the greedy descendant of Yin Shichuan family, Nakajima Ikko, was taken away.

Secondly, Conan took Yamamura So and others into the underground maze and found the human skeleton inside.

"Ah~~!"

The timid Yamamura Cao was frightened by the white bones in the dark tunnel and let out a trembling scream.

The Young Detectives all looked down on Shancuncao with a look of contempt, saying "that's lame".

After waiting for about an hour, the on-site investigation of the Angel's House was preliminarily completed. Yamamura Cao took Qin Zhibo and the Junior Detective League to the Gunma Prefecture Police Station to record their statements.

The first day of investigation into the case was basically over until almost midnight.

Combining the confessions provided by the awakened Nakajima, Yamamura Cao pieced together the following preliminary conclusions.

"In other words, Kaito Kidd disguised himself as 'Mr. Clock' and tricked you into coming to the Angel's Mansion to solve the mystery."

"Mr. Qin also came to the Angel's Mansion to track down the Kaito Kidd, but due to Nakajima's usual appearance, Kidd escaped."

"Nakajima Ikkan is the 16th heir to Yin Shichuan's estate. He had previously attempted a puzzle challenge but failed. However, he ran into Mr. Qin at the Angel's Mansion and, believing the next heir had cheated, he set out to seize the estate."

"So, could the skeleton in the underground labyrinth be the executor of the will mentioned by Nakajima, Matsunaka?"

When Conan heard this, he thought, isn’t the surname Matsunaka exactly the same as Matsunaka Yuriko?

Could it be...

Conan and Haibara Ai glanced at Matsunaka Yuriko at the same time, but she was still young and didn't realize the meaning.

Shancuncao on this side continued to think wildly, and suddenly his face was shocked and he realized something shocking.

"Could it be that the murderer... is Kaito Kidd!"

When these words came out, Conan in the corridor was shocked, "Huh?"

Qin Zhibo's mouth also trembled.

Oops, this seems to be a big blame...

"Ha, Kaito Kidd never kills people. Besides, the death of that corpse was too abnormal. There was no need for Kaito Kidd to do that."

Qin Zhibo tried frantically to make up for it, but Shancuncao's imagination was completely opened. He stared with his eyes wide open and spoke his storytelling-style reasoning with a terrifying and gloomy expression.

"That's just what ordinary people like you think. But in the eyes of criminals, as long as they want to achieve their goals, they can do anything terrible, including murder!"

"What kind of filth is hidden under that gloomy mask?"

"Maybe he just peeled the skin and flesh off that poor guy, and then... wore it on himself!"

The three little ones were so frightened by these words that they gritted their teeth and trembled. Haibara Ai looked calm, while Conan showed a helpless expression that said "that's enough".

Conan doesn't quite believe that Kaito Kid would kill someone and do such a perverted thing.

This rookie police officer probably doesn't know much about Kaito Kid.

First of all, Kaito Kidd doesn't wear a mask.

Secondly, if Kaito Kidd wants to disguise himself as someone, he doesn’t need human skin, just the other person’s clothes are enough. Otherwise, Ran Mouri, who was once disguised by Kidd, would have lost her skin long ago.

Among the crowd, only Qin Zhibo felt that Shancun Cao's guess this time was actually somewhat reliable.

Mr. Clock's original body was a pink crustacean fungus. If he wanted to disguise himself as a specific human, he had to peel off the other person's skin and wear it on himself.

A real human skin guest.

At this moment, a police officer nearby remembered, "Eh? Speaking of Kaito Kid, I saw in the newspaper this morning that someone sent an invitation to Kaito Kid, saying that they had prepared a super-large gem for Kaito Kid to steal."

"what?!"

Shancuncao roared and quickly grabbed his men's shoulders.

"What about Kidd? How did he respond?!"

The subordinate shook his head blankly, "I don't know either. I just saw it in the newspaper..."

"Where is the newspaper?" Conan asked seriously.

"It seems to be on my desk..."

……

When everyone got the newspaper, they saw the invitation letter on it.

"Kaito Kidd, the large jewel you've always wanted, the 'Blue Miracle,' is currently adorning the roof of my large museum in Shiodome Park. If you want it, come and grab it yourself."

"Respectfully submitted by Suzuki Jirokichi..."

Shancuncao read out the notice in the newspaper, reacted for a few seconds, and suddenly an excited expression appeared on his face.

"Now we have a chance to catch Kaito Kidd!"

"Send a message to Tokyo immediately. We in Gunma Prefecture will also join the team to capture Kidd!"

Yamamura Cao was so excited that he seemed to have forgotten that he wanted to catch Kidd because of a murder case.

Conan looked at the name and felt a sense of déjà vu.

Suzuki Jirokichi? Suzuki...

Qin Zhibo, who was standing next to him, had looked up the Suzuki Group before and knew the name, so he reminded him, "He's a consultant for the Suzuki Group."

When Conan heard this, he was shocked for a moment, then he calmed down.

Such a grand move really seems like something that only someone from the Suzuki family could do.

Since it is a matter of the Suzuki family, with Suzuki Sonoko's big mouth, Xiaolan must have known the details.

Conan looked at the time and it was already 12 o'clock midnight.

He couldn't bear to disturb Xiaolan's sleep, so he decided to suppress his curiosity for the time being and wait until he returned to Tokyo tomorrow.

……

The next day, noon.

Qin Zhibo drove Matsumoto Ryohei's car and took the Junior Detective Team back to Beihua Town.

The parents of the three little ones are worthy of being the most caring parents in the world. When their children were sent to the doorstep, they were still asking whether they were happy camping outside.

Then came Yuriko Matsunaka. The director of the orphanage came out to greet her in person with a smile on her face.

"Yuriko, someone is here to adopt you!"

"Come and take a look."

This sudden good news surprised everyone.

Led by the dean, everyone came to the reception room.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room was not a couple who looked smart and capable, but an elderly man in black clothes with a white beard on his chin.

Behind the old man stood a man in a black suit and sunglasses. He had a strong build and looked like a bodyguard and driver.

In addition to Qin Zhibo, Conan and Haibara Ai were also shocked by such an adopted person.

As adoptive parents, they are a little too old. They look almost 70 years old and do not look very strong. It is hard to say whether they can raise Yuriko to adulthood.

The dean smiled and walked between the two groups of people and introduced: "Mr. Haneda, this is Matsunaka Yuriko."

"Matsunaka Yuriko, this is the person who will adopt you, Mr. Haneda Yasuharu."

"Ahem..." Yasuharu Haneda stood up from the sofa, "You are Matsumoto Yuriko, right?"

"Ah."

Yuriko Matsunaka nodded timidly, and with the dean's push, she slowly walked to the front.

"Yuriko, I've heard everything about you from the dean. From now on, I will take on the responsibility of raising you."

"Originally, my wife, the mayor, was supposed to come over today, but she's unwell. She'll be waiting for you at home."

"You have an older brother, but he doesn't live at home right now, so you probably won't be able to meet him in the near future."

"call--"

Yasuharu Haneda introduced his family situation in one breath, and then he began to breathe heavily.

He glanced at Qin Zhibo out of the corner of his eye, exchanged glances with Qin Zhibo, and his gaze unconsciously fell on Huibara Ai who was standing next to him.

Huh? This kid...

It looks like it, it really does.

For some reason, looking at this brown-haired girl reminded him of his old friend's wife.

After pondering it for a moment, he still chose not to ask. He turned to look at the dean and asked, "Dean, is this all right? I'll have my lawyer come and take care of the subsequent formalities..."

The dean smiled and replied in a somewhat flattering tone, "Of course, no problem. Mr. Haneda, you are so busy. Just let the lawyer come and handle the formalities."

"Yuriko, go to your room and pack your things first, and then follow Mr. Haneda directly to your new home."
