Chapter 52: Moths to the Fire (5)
Except for death, all departures are betrayals.
After the hope of exchanging money for her sister's freedom dissipated, Masami Hirota can only plead for a chance to let her die.
But...
"We can just leave the police at that." Kaedehara said, "If things go well over there, you can take your sister away." ”
Masami Hirota was stunned.
"But as you know, the other party is just lying to you."
So the money would not have been taken away in the first place, and Kaedehara didn't have any psychological burden when he said this.
After a while, Masami Hirota understood the meaning of Kaede's words, and she was a little unconvinced, so she couldn't help but ask, "I understand." Why, though? Why are you willing to help me? ”
"Because I'm a detective." Kaede's original face is nonsense without changing color.
"Also, you can go to the appointment, but you have to do some preparation." He continued.
His apparent reason is that he needs Masami Hirota as a tainted witness, but the real reason is only because he wants to save her.
That's all.
Directly protecting Masami Hirota and getting a witness protection plan is obviously the quickest and most effective way. But that's something that Masami Hirota can't accept now.
She didn't want to influence her sister because of herself.
Kaedehara didn't want to.
So after thinking about it, he could only propose a way to fake his death.
Cliché, but it works.
It's almost the only thing Masami Hirota could accept.
But even so, she subconsciously wanted to refuse.
"Even if they find out about your fake death, they'll just think you're trying to survive and won't think much about it," Kaedehara advised, "and if everything goes well, you can survive." ”
"Sister Masami, your sister will want you to live well."
Masami Hirota fell silent.
On more than one occasion in her old days, she had fantasized that someone would suddenly appear to save her and her sister—and that person would later become a specific person.
But that's just a wish.
Neither that particular person, nor anything else, appeared.
However, just as she is on the road to the end of no return, she meets someone who is willing to try to save her... This man just made himself think it was all over...
He was just a kid who met in the water.
Tears rolled again, which made her feel a little ashamed.
She had already thought about it, even in the face of gin, she had to be very tough.
Masami Hirota doesn't actually think that the little detective can save herself, even if there may be someone else behind him.
But just because someone was willing to try it was something she had been expecting for a long time.
"Okay." She smiled and said, "Also, I'm not called Masami Hirota. ”
"My name is Akemi Miyano."
……
Kaedehara never felt that he could successfully save Akemi Miyano on his own.
To help Akemi Miyano complete suspended animation, you need to deceive both the organization and the police.
And since Akemi Miyano is actually one of the criminals in the billion-dollar robbery, her death will inevitably be followed by the police - then the police reaction will also be an important part of the organization's use to confirm whether she is dead or not.
Therefore, Kaedehara not only needs the props of fake death, he also needs deception and connections.
So he plans to make the most of his strengths.
The Jade Void Palace is unlearned.
Shake people.
Although it is not the time to call the police due to Akemi Miyano, he can still ask others for help.
After leaving the apartment building where Akemi Miyano was, Kaede went to a secluded place, closed his eyes, and did some psychological construction for himself.
For a long time, he didn't really want to completely recognize the identity obtained by Kudo Shinichi, and it was not just because of Conan's existence.
It's also because I'm worried that one day he'll think he's not actually Shinichi Kudo.
However, he has the appearance of Kudo Shinichi, has the memory of Kudo Shinichi, has the same DNA as Kudo Shinichi, and can even have Kudo Shinichi's emotions at any time, and when he grows up, he will also be Kudo Shinichi...
Sometimes, he wonders if he really is like the premise he made up.
Thinking that saving Akemi Miyano would also be what Conan wanted, Kaedehara mobilized the emotions that belonged to Kudo Shinichi, then picked up his mobile phone and dialed the phone.
……
"Xiaoxin!" Kudo Yukiko smiled brightly, but Kaedehara still sensed a trace of tiredness on her face, "I really didn't expect that Xiaoxin would take the initiative to call her mother~ I also know that I rely on my mother!" ”
"Super happy~" Yukiko Kudo pinched Kaedehara's face, "I almost forgot what it was like to be relied on by my son." ”
Kaedehara struggled uncomfortably, then gave up and let Yukiko Kudo knead it.
"Yukiko received the call, and she directly booked the nearest plane ticket." Yusaku Kudo looked at Kaedehara, "Shinichi, I'm very pleased. Knowing that asking for help is also a sign of maturity. ”
Mr. and Mrs. Kudo arrived the next afternoon.
Considering that the journey lasted more than ten hours, the two of them rushed back almost without any delay.
This made Kaede Yuan a little surprised, and it also made him feel heavy in his heart.
Even if Mr. and Mrs. Kudo only provide help and advice remotely, he will take it well.
But they rushed back without the slightest hesitation.
Yukiko Kudo doesn't know what her little Shinichi is thinking. She just kneaded Kaedehara's face, who barely resisted, and asked him carefully about his current situation. It wasn't until she couldn't bear it anymore that she ran to catch up on sleep.
Leaving Kaedehara alone to face Yusaku Kudo.
Yusaku Kudo still looks bright.
He didn't say anything superfluous, but directly asked Kaedehara about the details he knew.
Kaedehara also said it one by one.
Of course, he still changed his account about why he wanted to save Akemi Miyano and why he trusted Akemi Miyano.
The new statement is not so convincing, but Yusaku Kudo still decides to believe the judgment of "Kudo Shinichi".
So the two soon began to discuss a plan to help Akemi Miyano complete her fake death.
First of all, who went to fake his death.
Asking Yukiko Kudo for help was not to get her to disguise herself as Akemi Miyano to go to the appointment, although she herself was eager to try it.
Although Kaedehara had the idea of saving Akemi Miyano, it was impossible for him to let Yukiko Kudo risk his life for Akemi Miyano.
Of course, Akemi Miyano herself will not accept it.
Not only because she didn't want to implicate others, but also because if someone else went to the appointment for her and was discovered, it would also cause adverse results for her and her sister.
She would rather die at the hands of the Order.
Therefore, the risk is basically on Akemi Miyano herself.
All they had to do was reduce her risk.
For example, Yukiko Kudo can help Akemi Miyano disguise, so that she will not be easily found even if she wears a prop costume used to fake her death.
Secondly, how to fake his death.
To fake death to be immortal, you must first understand the basic situation of the opponent.
He likes to kill people in any way.
He shoots in whatever position he likes.
His character and habits.
And these are all things that Yusaku Kudo needs to know from Akemi Miyano.
It's the next day in a blink of an eye.
