Those who are deceived by its light, even though they know that death awaits them, cannot help but yearn for that light.

Masami Hirota is such a person.

She is a member of a criminal organization, and so is her sister, but much more important than her.

She hoped to take her sister out of the organization, and then she was told that as long as she went to grab a billion yuan, she could take her sister away and fly away.

One billion is not a small number.

But if even she can do it, then what is it for the organization?

So she knew the other party was lying to her.

But... What if?

Masami Hirota couldn't resist the temptation.

Just thinking that maybe one day my sister will still have the same smile as when she was a child, and it will be difficult for her to refuse this offer.

She's a moth chasing fire.

However, all these plans, just because she went to find a detective, were all screwed up.

Just being suspicious wasn't something she could accept. She can't be targeted by the police at this time, and she can't let the police go all out to find Kenzo Hirota, the "robber".

She had already said the wrong thing in a panic.

The situation has exceeded her expectations.

However, Masami Hirota still didn't want to give up the last straw that might save her sister from the organization.

But now, the straw has been firmly grasped in the hands of the child opposite.

Masami Hirota was at a loss.

She didn't know if there was anyone else behind Feng Yuan, and she couldn't bear to attack a child.

She didn't even know when she would find Kenzo Hirota, so she couldn't knock the kid out and lock him up.

So she's going to die.

The people in the organization won't let her go, and she won't even have a chance to go to jail.

But if you die... These stupid actions of hers won't cause trouble for her sister, right?

Thinking of her sister, a trace of firmness rose in Masami Hirota's desperate heart.

She couldn't just give up.

So after the silence lasted for a long time, Masami Hirota raised her head, with tears on her face, and squeezed out a smile at Kaedehara: "... You're not Conan, are you? You're the other kid. ”

Kaedehara, who didn't wear glasses, gave her a completely different feeling.

"Hmm."

"Mind telling me, who the hell are you?"

“… Kaedehara is a detective. ”

"Detective... What a great career. Masami Hirota seemed relieved, "You didn't even say anything to persuade me to turn myself in, really, my mind is so easy to guess - you want me to say it myself, right?" ”

Kaedehara didn't speak.

Masami Hirota adjusted her breathing.

"As for me, I'm actually a member of a criminal organization," Masami Hirota said, "and my sister is just like me." This organization restricts our freedom and makes us do things we don't want to do... So one day I wanted to run away. ”

"I want to run away from this organization and take my sister with me. They asked me to rob them of a billion yen and told me that they would let my sister and me go as long as it was done. ”

"I promised..."

After telling her motive for committing the crime, Masami Hirota began to talk about the details of the crime and her plan to save her sister.

She spoke in great detail.

She didn't care if she would leave evidence for it.

The little detective's quiet during this time made her feel like he was giving herself a chance - and although she didn't know why, she didn't want to miss it.

So she finished her story in one go, and then waited for the little detective to speak as if she were waiting for the verdict.

In fact, Kaedehara felt a little embarrassed.

He wanted to save Masami Hirota, not to solve the case.

But he couldn't come up and say something like "Masami Hirota, run with me." And he felt that to save her, he needed her cooperation.

That's why he chose to intervene from the robbery.

However, the strong Masami Hirota is a little more fragile than he thought, and her current appearance makes him feel like a bad person.

"Can you tell us about that organization?" After thinking about it for a while, Kaedehara decided to speed up the progress.

Masami Hirota hesitated.

She didn't want to get the little detective involved in that behemoth.

But she wanted to convince the other party to give her back the straw that was more important than her life.

So Masami Hirota still opened her mouth: "It's a huge organization surrounded by layers of mysteries... I'm just at the bottom of the hierarchy and don't know much. The color of the organization's representatives is black, and the senior personnel do not use their own names, they all use the name of the wine as a codename..."

Masami Hirota hesitated, as if just mentioning the code name scared her, "For example, Gin and vodka, they are the ones who told me that as long as I rob a billion yuan, they are willing to let my sister and me go..."

Masami Hirota continued.

But she deliberately kept some things under her cover, including her sister's.

Although Masami Hirota has some unrealistic fantasies, she also has a clear vision of the strength of the organization.

She doesn't believe that the police or detectives can help her save her sister — if it were that simple, she would have called the police a long time ago — and instead worries that a failed rescue will put her sister in danger.

At the end of another round of narration by Masami Hirota, Kaedehara specifically asked about the appearance of gin and vodka.

Of course, he knew what these two people looked like, because Kudo Shinichi had seen them. But Kudo Shinichi shouldn't have known the code names of these two.

Masami Hirota was clearly impressed by these two men, and under her description, Kaedehara completed an important link in associating them with code names.

So, Kaedehara could get straight to the point: "Coincidentally, we're looking for this organization. ”

Masami Hirota was a little surprised.

"So, as long as you're willing to be a tainted witness, we can help you." Kaedehara continued.

“… Help me? ”

"That's right." Kaedehara said tentatively, "You have to hand over the money to the people of the organization, and we can let the police squat in advance at the place you agreed-"

"Nope."

"That's not going to work." Masami Hirota repeated, with a pleading look, "If the people in the organization think I've defected, then my sister she..."

She didn't go on.

A few years ago, she had an important and close person defect from the organization.

And since then, she was originally quite free, but her situation in the organization has become more and more difficult, and the gin guy has almost no secret of her killing intent...

So she wanted to be able to "resign", but she didn't want to "defect".

She didn't want all this to happen to her sister again.

“… What do you think? ”

My thoughts?

Of course, I hope that I can go to the appointment alone and get the money to get my sister back.

But Masami Hirota herself knows that this is really wishful thinking.

She's just talking to a detective as a robber.

And now she can't trade money that doesn't belong to her. So...

After closing her eyes and thinking for a while, Masami Hirota raised her head and looked into Kaedehara's eyes.

"I wish I could go to the appointment alone." Masami Hirota said softly, "I'm not going to bring the money over, just let them pick it up somewhere else - but don't worry, the deal won't be done, they're just lying to me..."

"I'm going to die." Masami Hirota's voice sank. But then it won't cause trouble for my sister...

"But even if I'm going to die, I want to go. A must go. ”
