Chapter 1032 Death Message Spanning 7 Years

Chapter 1032 Death Message Spanning 7 Years

Inspector Megure pinched his chin again, and said with a hint of confusion: "But why not just leave the English words SRNBA? Wouldn't it be more obvious and easier to understand this way?"

Conan tilted his head back and said innocently, "But isn't this too obvious? If the murderer could see the meaning, wouldn't he be able to hide the fragments?"

Inspector Megure suddenly realized: "That's true."

You also agreed: "Plus, he threw the cup at the murderer at that time. Even if it was the murderer, when he saw the fragments, he would just think that they were left after the cup hit the wall and broke, right?"

"He could never have imagined that the letters that were cut off were the death message left by the victim..."

Wait, Yuya suddenly thought of something and looked sharply towards Okiya Subaru.

Okiya Subaru opened his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of shock.

"I see, I see." Inspector Megure pinched his chin and analyzed what the three people said. He felt that it made sense.

When he looked up, he was the only one left in the corridor.

"What about people?!"

Inspector Megure hurried outside, only to learn from Takagi Wataru that several people had already left early.

"Don't leave yet, we still need to take a statement! Really!"

···

Parking place.

Miyano Shiho unlocked the car and asked Yuya hesitantly, "Is it okay for me to leave first? We still need to take a statement, right?"

Yuya was busy getting his laptop. Hearing this, he said nonchalantly, "It's okay. I can find time to do it later. What's more important now is..."

He took out his laptop, turned it on, and quickly found the case file of Hiroshi Haneda that he had specially saved.

Subaru Okiya and Conan also got on the car, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiching Yuya in the middle.

The three of them looked at the computer screen together.

Youya turned the data to the page where the fragments of the portable mirror were found at the scene: "The letters left at the scene are... P, T, O, N..."

Conan took out the booklet of the Junior Detective League and wrote quickly on it: "The words originally printed on the portable mirror are, PUT ON MASCARA. If you remove PTON, what's left is UMASCARA. There are too many A's in it. Is it the name of the Japanese people?"

"The Japanese name is Asaka, right?" Youya thought of the missing bodyguard.

Subaru Okiya narrowed his eyes and said, "If the pronunciation of CA is the same as KA, then the ASACA in it is Asaka."

"In that case, if we continue to remove ASACA, what will remain is UMR, and if we rearrange the UMR..."

Yuya said as he slowly typed on the keyboard.

Conan and Okiya Subaru also slowly raised their heads and focused their eyes on the computer screen.

One, two, three...

As the keyboard popped up for the third time, an English name, no, to be more precise, a code name, appeared on the screen.

Yuya narrowed his eyes and pronounced the name: "RUM..."

Yuya and Conan both turned their gazes towards Okiya Subaru, who pulled out his cell phone and pulled up a message.

He said slowly: "This is the message that Rena Mizunashi sent me the morning after Bourbon showed up. There is no other content, only this code name, Rum."

"When I was still in the organization, I heard this name two or three times. It seems that he is a close confidant of their boss."

Yuya looked at Miyano Shiho who was in the driver's seat: "Shiho, have you ever heard of the code name Rum?"

Miyano Shiho was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know much, but she is a more mysterious person than Vermouth."

"There are all kinds of rumors about Rum in the organization. Some say he is a strong man, some say he is a man who looks like a woman, some say he is an old man, and some even say that these identities are his substitutes. But..."

"but?"

Miyano Shiho revealed a hint of fear in her eyes: "For Rum, there is one thing in common in all the descriptions, that is, one of his eyes is fake."

"Is that so?" Yuya frowned slightly, and after a moment, he said, "Since he is a confidant, can we assume that Rum is the second in command of the organization?"

Okiya Subaru: “I’m afraid so.”

Yuya suddenly thought of something: "Did Mizunashi Rena send it directly to you? Do Judy and the others know about it?"

Okiya Subaru shook his head: "He only sent a single word as a message, which means the situation is so urgent that he can only type these few words, and there is no extra time to notify her.

I have already told Judy about this and asked her to inform James that a big shot from the organization is about to take action. No, he may have already started taking action.

But so far, no information about Rum has been collected. I didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect to find such a death message in the case of Haneda Hiroshi's murder seventeen years ago...right?"

"Ah." Okiya Subaru nodded slightly and then fell silent.

Even though they now accidentally know that the real murderer of the Haneda Hiroji case seventeen years ago was the missing bodyguard named Asaka, and Asaka's real identity is the second-in-command of the organization, codenamed Rum.

However, it is unclear whether Asaka is a surname or a given name. If it is a surname, even the gender cannot be determined.

After all, whether the name Asaka is real or fake is debatable.

Now all they knew was that Rum was a close confidant of the boss, the second in command of the organization, and had a fake eye - and the truth of the latter could not be confirmed because it was just a rumor.

Conan thought of another thing.

That is the poison that Hiroji Haneda was fed. What exactly is it?

Miyano Shiho said that it was a medicine made by her parents, and later developed again by Miyano Shiho, but she herself said that it was not originally intended to be a poison.

Moreover, when Gin fed Conan the poison, he said that it was a new poison developed by the organization, that the toxin could not be detected from the corpse, and that it could commit a perfect crime.

It just hasn't been tested on humans yet.

Conan wanted to ask Miyano Shiho what kind of poison APTX was, but Okiya Subaru was still here, so he couldn't open his mouth.

His identity in front of Subaru Okiya is just a genius detective child with an IQ higher than that of a child, who follows Yuya around to play "detective games" and "accidentally" finds out about the existence of the organization.

Okiya Subaru, or Akai Shuichi, is trustworthy, but Conan doesn't know whether exposing his true identity to the FBI will bring any bad consequences.

Maybe, just like Yuya said, he would be secretly taken away for slice research.

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but shudder.

He felt a little creepy when Miyano Shiho took some of his blood and body tissues. If he was really put on the operating table for slice research... it's terrifying to think about it.

"In short," Okiya Subaru opened the car door, "pay attention to whether there are any suspicious people nearby. If you find anything, be sure to notify me immediately."

After saying this, Okiya Subaru got out of the car.

Just at this moment, a red car stopped by the side.

Yuya looked up and saw that the person driving was Judy.

It seems that Subaru Okiya had just informed Judy, but he was slow to arrive, so he discussed the death message in the letter with Yuya and the others first.

Youye closed the computer and said, "Let's go back first."

Miyano Shiho nodded and started the car.
