"If it weren't for the purpose of investigating the truth behind Wuwu's disappearance, I would never have agreed to Shuichi joining the FBI."
Holding the oolong tea bottle that was as big as her arm, Akai Mari breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Sakaki Makoto who seemed to be eager to say something:
"I know what you are going to ask next. What happened at the JUKE Hotel in New York, USA 17 years ago, right?"
"Unfortunately, I don't know the details of the murder of Haneda Hiroshi."
"Wuwu went to the United States to investigate, but ended up missing. Shuichi joined the FBI to investigate this case."
have no idea?
Sakaki Makoto frowned. He thought Akai Mary should know about the Haneda Hiroshi case, but now it seems...
"If you really want to solve the case of that year, then Rum must be your best breakthrough."
Akai Mary said calmly:
"Because he was the one who killed Haneda Hiroshi."
This conclusion was not unexpected to Makoto Sakaki and the others. They had already suspected Rum, and Mary Akai's words only confirmed their inference.
However...
In the case of Hiroji Haneda, another character appeared, the missing bodyguard - Asaka.
The details of the scene of the Haneda Hiroshi case can be found on the Internet. Many media have reported on the incident, and Sakaki Makoto even went to the Hughes estate and indeed found the bodyguards hired by Amanda Hughes.
But even the intelligence collected by the Hughes family did not directly point out Asaka's identity. After the incident, the bodyguard disappeared mysteriously, making it hard for people not to doubt her identity.
Perhaps this is an enemy hiding in the dark?
"Have you heard of Asaka?"
Holding the cigarette, Sakaki Makoto thought for a while, then looked up and asked:
"Asaka, the bodyguard of Amanda Hughes and the biggest suspect in the case of Hiroshi Haneda."
"have no idea."
Akai Mary didn't even think about it and directly denied it:
"I've already said that I don't know the details of the Haneda Hiroshi case. I only learned about it after the fact."
"I see..."
Sakaki Cheng smiled and stopped asking questions.
"Okay, I've told you so much, but it's all from my side. What about you guys?"
Akai Mary blinked and said meaningfully:
"The antidote that Kudo Shinichi took was developed by Shiho, right?"
"It's just a temporary antidote."
Miss Miyano said without comment:
"It can temporarily transform Conan into Kudo Shinichi's body, but it will soon change back."
"Can I have a few, Shiho?"
Akai Mary stretched out her little hand.
“.......”
Glancing at her boyfriend who was smoking beside her without expressing his opinion, Miss Miyano lowered her eyes and said softly:
"Sure, but I don't have it with me. Let's do it another day."
Retracting her little hand, Akai Mari jumped off the sofa and said:
"Majun, we should go."
The girl at the side quickly stood up, holding her bag, and her eyes from under the brim of her baseball cap swept over Sakaki Makoto and the others.
"Where are you going next?"
Squeezing out his cigarette, Makoto Sakaki stood up and asked:
“We don’t need to go back to the hotel, do we?”
"Tokyo is so big, there's always a safe place."
Akai Mary stretched out her body:
"The hotel not far from your house is pretty good. We plan to stay there..."
As she said this, she turned her head and curled her lips:
"Don't worry, we won't go far. After all, we still have to wait for Shiho to get us the antidote, right?"
"That's definitely no problem. Once the antidote is developed, I will definitely deliver it to your door personally!"
Sakaki Makoto smiled as he escorted them out of the yard, hailed a taxi, pulled out a notebook from his arms, wrote a line of phone numbers with his left hand, and handed it to the girl:
"This is my phone number. If you have anything, please call me. Miss Masumi, I'm sure Conan will get along well with you..."
The girl took the paper, but before she could say anything, she heard her mother in the car shout:
"Majuna, get in the car!"
Click!
The door closed and the taxi drove forward. The girl looked in the rearview mirror at Makoto Sakaki, who was waving goodbye with a bright smile, and asked casually:
"Mom, you are so mean to me..."
"That's because you don't understand his father's methods."
Akai Mary sneered:
"He is exactly like his father, smiling but hiding a knife behind his back. He is best at using words to deceive others. He is no different from a devil. If you meet him in the future, don't believe his words, understand?"
"oh..."
The taillights of the taxi disappeared around the corner. Makoto Sakaki lowered his arms, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. Finally, he smiled with a stern face and an expressionless face.
Back in the living room, Hong Shu, who had been hiding in the room, suddenly jumped out, ran to the sofa, and looked out curiously:
"I just saw you write your phone number on the surveillance video at the door, but you have a business card, so why do you do that?"
"Because the business cards I send out can all be traced."
Sakaki Makoto raised the notebook in his hand:
"I have written down who has my business card in a notebook. If a stranger calls me one day, I can quickly infer who leaked my phone number based on the clues. Similarly, if an enemy sees the business card, will he suspect that I have had contact with the other party?"
"Once Gin knows that I have been in contact with Akai Mary, the consequences can be imagined. To be on the safe side, I'd better not give her a business card."
"You are too cautious!"
Hong Shu screamed:
"Isn't she your wife's aunt? You can't believe it?"
"If she was trustworthy, she wouldn't have been playing tricks on me just now."
Sakaki looked at Hiroki with satisfaction, and was very satisfied with the way he addressed Miss Miyano:
"Although she told me a lot today, they were all things from the past. She mentioned my father many times. To others, this might just be an elder reminiscing about a friend, but to me... it was a naked threat!"
"Akai Mari has been hinting to me that the relationship between her and me is not so easy to get rid of. This is her return gift to me for mentioning Haneda Hideyoshi's name. Reciprocity is a good habit."
On the surface, what Akai Mary said today was very important, but in fact...
It was of no help to Sakaki Makoto's next plan, it just cleared up some of his doubts.
Mary Akai didn't say a word about her own affairs.
He even wanted to ask for the antidote...
Will Sakaki Makoto let her have her wish?
Look at Conan, how innocent and what a good comrade he is...
But there were some gains today. At least Makoto Sakaki knew that he had a close relationship with Kid. It is easy to find a cunning fox, but it is hard to find like-minded friends!
“Hehehe…”
Just as I was thinking this, Kidd came up to me with a flattering look on his face, rubbing his hands back and forth, and said like a profiteer:
"Brother, do you think we should pay the training fee?"
