Chapter 1455 The Secret of the Eyes

"Are you talking about the case of Hiroshi Haneda 17 years ago?"

Kudo Yusaku looked serious and asked Luc Villiers.

"Yes."

"Ms. Amanda has been committed to uncovering the 'fallen angels' of the Nine Angels Organization. After many years of investigation, she finally locked onto an extremely secret underground organization."

"However, the organization is very powerful. The FBI agents who were previously sent to investigate the organization were killed one after another, causing the investigation to be interrupted for a time."

"However, during this period, Ms. Amanda discovered that the organization's apparent identity was actually the Japanese Karasuma Group."

"So, Ms. Amanda reached a cooperation agreement with the former Japanese Prime Minister and secretly invited Japanese police to the United States to discuss cooperation matters."

"That was 17 years ago when Hiroshi Haneda visited the United States..."

"In order to cover up the fact that Nine Angels was cooperating with the Japanese police, Ms. Amanda stayed at that hotel as a fan of Hiroshi Haneda."

"The police sent by Japan checked into the hotel under the pretext of vacation, and invited Hiroshi Haneda as a cover for the meeting, and went to the United States together."

"But despite this, the cooperation between the two parties still leaked out."

"The organization's killers surrounded the hotel, eliminated the bodyguards around Ms. Amanda, and killed Ms. Amanda and Hiroshi Haneda one after another."

"This is the truth of the case 17 years ago..."

With Luc Villiers' statement, the truth of the case that had been hidden for many years was finally revealed.

After hearing this, everyone looked heavy-hearted.

Qin Zhibo recalled what Kuroda Bei said last time, which was basically the same as what Luc Villiers said.

The only difference was that Qin Zhibo did not expect that the first person to cooperate with the Nine Angels Organization would be the former Prime Minister of Japan.

The person who served as Prime Minister of Japan 17 years ago...I think his last name was Ooka.

"You seem to be very familiar with Ms. Amanda?" Qin Zhibo asked at this time.

Luc Villiers turned his head and nodded, "Yes."

"Then I would like to ask, 17 years ago, did Ms. Amanda have a bodyguard named 'Asaka'?"

"Asaka?"

Luc Villiers looked thoughtful for a moment, then said seriously, "You are asking about Rachel Asaka, right?"

"She is Ms. Amanda's adopted daughter. I heard that her father was also Ms. Amanda's bodyguard. After he died in an incident, she was adopted by Ms. Amanda."

"Adopted daughter?"

Yusaku Kudo, who was sitting on the sofa nearby, rested his chin on his head and murmured, "Although there is no investigation result on the incident back then, the outside world is saying that Asaka was the murderer who killed Ms. Amanda 17 years ago."

"Since she is innocent, why didn't she contact your organization?"

Luc Villiers replied: "We are also confused about this, but since that incident, Rachel Asaka has indeed disappeared..."

"No, she may not have disappeared."

Hearing this, Luc Villiers and others turned their heads and looked at Qin Zhibo in surprise.

Qin Zhibo said solemnly: "Some time ago, I found her in Japan. She is now a teacher in a Japanese elementary school..."

"It all started when I found someone posting details about the Haneda Hiroshi case online, and I looked up that person's IP address and identity."

"This person's appearance is almost identical to the 'Asaka' that the Japanese police remembered when they came to the United States 17 years ago to discuss cooperation with Amanda."

"It can be basically concluded that this person is 'Rachel Asaka'."

When Yukiko, who was sitting on the other side, heard the word "elementary school teacher", she immediately thought of her beloved son who was still in elementary school.

Moreover, this investigation task was also the task that Qin Zhibo had given to Conan at the London meeting.

This made Yukiko worried, and she quickly asked, "Mr. Qin, the class this person teaches is not..."

Qin Zhibo nodded, confirming Yukiko's guess.

"Yes, she is Conan's teacher now."

Hearing the affirmative answer, Yukiko's eyes suddenly showed a hint of worry.

Seeing this, Kudo Yusaku comforted her, "Yukiko, Shinichi will be fine, and judging from what Mr. Villiers said, this man should not be a bad person."

Kudo Yusaku was very relieved about his son. After all, he was a person with an unusual identity lurking in the open, so he would definitely be wary of him in normal times.

Qin Zhibo recalled the coded photo that Kuroda Bei asked him to explain during their conversation in Nagano Prefecture.

That was the photo that Kuroda Bei took at the scene of Amanda's death. It was a chess knight piece with a watch on the outside.

There were red lipstick marks on the watch and the chess pieces.

Based on that photo, Qin Zhibo deduced the code "Be careful of Asaka".

Does this code mean that Amanda is actually being wary of Asaka?Or is it to remind Asaka to be careful?Qin Zhibo expressed his thoughts.

Luc Villiers immediately replied: "I know the code, and I have deduced it."

"It's just that my reasoning is slightly different from yours. The conclusion I reached is 'the murderer is the person wearing the monocle'..."

"Afterwards, we found the man who carried out the assassination plan and captured him. Unfortunately, he escaped in the end..."

Luc Villiers' left eye blinked slightly. The pupil in his left eye was somewhat similar to a snake's pupil, which was very different from his right eye.

At this time, Kudo Yusaku, an expert in reasoning, held Qin Zhibo's mobile phone and looked at the photos on it. He pondered for a long time and finally spoke.

"I still tend to lean towards Mr. Qin's reasoning..."

"If Amanda's message before her death was directed to someone wearing a monocle, it would have been more accurate to put a lipstick print on only one side of the knight chess piece."

"But since there are lip marks on both sides of the knight chess piece, it means that this person's glasses should be normal bi-lens glasses."

"Excuse me, does the female bodyguard named 'Asaka' wear bi-lens glasses?"

Qin Zhibo nodded to show his confirmation.

"That should be her..."

Kudo Shinichi handed the phone back to Qin Zhibo.

But even so, Luc Villiers' face was still full of surprise.

He shook his head slightly, puzzled: "But the murderer of Ms. Amanda was indeed a man wearing a monocle..."

"That person's code name in the organization is 'Rum', and he is said to have a high position in the organization."

"Rum?"

Qin Zhibo's expression suddenly froze, "Have you ever caught Rum?"

Luc Villiers nodded and said, "Yes, it was two years after Ms. Amanda was murdered. We, the Nine Angels, conducted extensive investigations and found a man named Iseya Yuichi from the Karasuma Group."

"After that, we designed a plan to capture him, and through certain means, we learned that his code name in the organization was 'Rum'."

"But just when the interrogation reached a critical moment, his left eye burst out with incredible power, causing everyone present, including me, to faint."

"By the time we regained consciousness, he had already escaped." "Also, my left eye has acquired an incredible ability since then..."

Having said that, Luc Villiers covered his right eye, and the snake pupil of his left eye stared straight at everyone present.

"This is the power of this eye. Once you look at something with this eye alone, you will never forget it."

"It's probably equivalent to having a photographic memory..."

When these words were spoken, everyone at the scene showed expressions of extreme shock.

Qin Zhibo, in particular, could not help but think of the first time he met Luc Villiers in Las Vegas, when he stared at the "shining trapezoidal octahedron" with his left eye.

And this ability to remember everything at a glance seems to be something that Curacao also possesses.

The only difference is that Curacao needs a five-color card to control the switch of this ability, while Luc Villiers only needs to stare with his left eye.

There was a hint of realization on Hei Yu Qian Ying's face, and he exclaimed: "What an incredible power..."

Qin Zhibo told everyone that Rum's confidant, Curacao, also possessed similar abilities.

Kuroba Daoyi stroked his mustache and said calmly, "Curaçao's power comes from the 'New Potential Laboratory', which means that your ability of 'photographic memory' should also come from Rum."

"Maybe you took away his power during that torture..."

"It is also possible that Rum used that power to escape from danger, but the price was to sacrifice this power..."

Kudo Yusaku added, resting his arm on the armrest of the sofa, supporting his temple.

Luc Villiers did not deny this.

He leaned forward, his upper body sank slightly, and said calmly: "Since that incident, Isegawa Yuichi seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and his whereabouts can no longer be found..."

……

On a street in Tokyo, the Young Detectives were walking in a row.

Today is Sunday. Since Dr. Agasa did not organize any team-building activities, the three little ones suggested going to school to see the animals raised there.

"Speaking of which, the new black rabbit seems to be in low spirits recently?"

"Well, you haven't eaten much feed..."

"Could it be that he is sick?"

Ayumi had a worried look on her face as she asked her friends around her.

Conan smiled and rested his head on his head, and replied in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry so much, because rabbits are very sensitive to environmental changes, so it may not be adapted to the new environment yet..."

"Maybe when I go to see it again today, it will be alive and kicking~"

While Conan was trying to persuade her, he glanced at Haibara Ai beside him.

I saw Haibara Ai wearing a pink tweed coat and a little red hat on her head. Her outfit was both fashionable and cute.

But at this moment, there was a hint of sadness on Huibara Ai's face, her brows were slightly frowned, her eyes were slightly lowered, and she looked solemn.

"Xiao Ai, are you worried?"

Ayumi, who was walking on the other side, bent down to look at Haibara Ai and asked curiously, "Since this morning, Ai seems to have not spoken much?"

"Are you sick?" Yuan Tai from Zuan replied bluntly.

When Mitsuhiko heard this, he immediately became worried, "Ah? Then let's go back quickly!"

However, in the face of the concern of the three little ones, Haibara Ai still looked down at the ground and did not react at all.

Seeing this, Conan had to gently touch Haibara Ai's waist with his elbow, and the latter finally reacted.

"Eh?" Huiyuan Ai raised her head, her face slightly stunned, "What are you talking about?"

Ayumi asked with a worried look on her face: "Ai, are you sick? Why don't we go back?"

"No……"

Huihara Ai forced a smile on her face, "I'm not sick..."

"Is that so? That's great!"

"It really scared me to death!"

The three little ones were easy to fool. When Haibara Ai said that, they immediately believed it.

But Conan, who was standing next to them, had a solemn expression. He glanced at Haibara Ai's worried face and felt deeply moved.

He knew the reason why Haibara Ai was in trouble.

In the virtual world, Curacao revealed that Elena Miyano might still be alive, which was the reason why Haibara Ai became like this.

Anyone would feel the same sense of loss when they learn that their lost mother is still alive, but they don't know where she is and how to investigate.

Conan didn't know how to comfort her.

But in Haibara Ai's mind, she had no memory of Elena Miyano before.

Before leaving the organization, her only impression of her mother was that of an "angel who had fallen into hell", a taciturn and cold woman who followed Atsushi Miyano.

But in the tape left by Elena Miyano, Haibara Ai felt the warmth from her mother for the first time, that deep maternal love.

But now, the situation has changed.

Since his mother Elena Miyano was still alive, and both he and his sister were on the verge of being executed by the organization at any time during that period, why did the mother who loved her children so much do nothing?

Judging from what Curacao said, Miyano Elena's status seemed to be quite high.

If Elena Miyano had done something at that time, would her sister Akemi have suffered the same tragic end?This feeling of existence yet seeming to not exist is the real reason for Haibara Ai's inner confusion.

……

After a while, the Junior Detective Team walked to Teitan Elementary School.

After showing their student IDs to the gatekeeper, they were allowed to enter the school.

In the breeding hut in the backyard of the school, Ayumi fed some grass to the rabbit cage, and the new black rabbit really started to eat it with relish.

"Wow, great!"

“It ate a lot!”

"That's great! I'm finally feeling refreshed!"

The three little ones stared excitedly at the two rabbits in the cage, one black and one white.

Haibara Ai hugged the back of her tweed coat with her hands and was about to squat forward to take a look at the cute rabbit to change her mood, but suddenly she saw the black fur on the black rabbit.

black……

organize……

In a trance, Haibara Ai's mind once again recalled Miyano Elena.

If Elena Miyano is indeed still alive, doesn't that mean she is still a member of the organization.

And I have unknowingly stood on the opposite side of her.
