At this moment, Belmore felt as if it wasn't Shinichi Kudo but her who was smashed on the head by a gin stick, and her whole head buzzed.

She immediately realized from the other party's voice and the meaning of the words that the two in front of her had swapped identities, and this meant that it was actually Miyano Shiho who had just saved her like an angel...

But how is this possible?

Why?

That guy who grew up in hell since she was a child, and a woman who has always only had access to the dark side of the world, how could she save herself, a person who has murderous intentions for her all the time?

Are you kidding!

Anger arose.

Belmore couldn't accept it, maybe because she was angry, maybe because she didn't want to face the reality, in short, her heart was now burning with rage, as if she had entered the second stage.

However, before she could show her anger, she didn't have time to think about it anymore.

At that moment, she completely forgot the situation she was in, her left hand holding the edge of the bridge forgot to exert herself, and Kaedehara, who had just grabbed her arm, was just a child...

So in the next instant, Belmore fell off the bridge completely—along with Kaedehara.

Ashbara, who had just subconsciously let go of her hand, stood on the bridge in a daze, watching the two of them fall into the icy water, and then pursed her lips and glanced at the mobile phone that Kaedehara had just stuffed into her hand.

"Don't worry, wait until I get back."

Gray Yuan Wai tore off the disguise on his face, and then sat silently on the cold bridge deck, hugging his knees, hiding his head between the crooks of his arms and knees.

……

The icy water of the river wiped out the anger that had just sprung up in Belmore.

She resurfaced, shook her head, and then dragged Kaedehara, who she had been holding when she fell, towards the bridge.

There was a speedboat she had prepared.

Belmore had to lift Kaedehara onto the boat before climbing into the speedboat. She didn't deal with herself first, but quickly checked Kaedehara's situation.

He was just in the water, and he didn't react...

Maybe it's because the child's body can't withstand the impact of falling into the water, or maybe it's because the water is too cold, anyway, he seems to have fainted...

After checking Kaedehara's signs and confirming that he was breathing steadily and not drowning, Belmore had to start the speedboat directly and drive a little distance before stopping.

She didn't drive far, though.

Both herself and Kaedehara were wet, and if she didn't deal with it, she would really get sick. And she had already prepared clothes and towels on board, although only her own.

But until then...

Belmore looked at Kaedehara, then reached out and groped his face, right down to his right earlobe, to be exact.

The person who disguised Kaedehara was obviously Yukiko Kudo, the younger sister she was when she was learning makeup techniques, which also means that she may have exposed her identity from the beginning...

Thinking to himself, Belmore pinched the skin under Kaedehara's right earlobe, and then gently tore off the disguise.

Belmore looked at the face that belonged to Kudo Shinichi for an hour with some blankness, and then noticed that the mobile phone in his arms vibrated slightly.

Hesitantly glancing at Kaedehara again, seeing that everything seemed to be normal, Belmore took out the phone that had been wrapped in a waterproof bag in advance, and then his pupils shrank. She didn't delay any longer, quickly dried her hands with a towel, took out her phone and glanced at the message.

"As if I've given you too much freedom before, come back to me right now, Belmore."

There was no signature, but she was well aware that it was news from the boss.

Regarding the Halloween party on the ghost ship, she half-seduces and half-coerces one of them to kill the captain, causing a murder.

Obviously, her maneuver succeeded in diverting the attention of the organization from noticing what she was really doing, but it also made the boss unhappy.

“OK… Top dog. ”

Belmore replied briefly, then deleted the conversation, put away her phone, and exhaled slightly. Then she looked at Kaedehara again, ready to help him change into the clothes she had prepared...

Belmore froze.

Kaedehara happened to be sitting on the speedboat, holding the towel she had just thrown aside, handling the water on his own body.

"You-"

"Why did you look so surprised?" Kaedehara wrung the already wet towel, "Didn't you notice?" I deliberately let go of my grip on the guardrail. ”

Of course, at that time, he let go of his hand to stuff the phone to the gray plain mourning beside him, but from Belmore's perspective at that time, he obviously couldn't see this, and he was not so kind to explain it.

"Why?" Belmore was puzzled.

"Because it wasn't an accident, you did it on purpose, didn't you? So I thought you must have something else to prepare, so I was curious to take a look. ”

Belmore raised an eyebrow, "How do you know?" ”

"I didn't know, but I understood when I saw that you had a chance to climb up on your own, but you still threw yourself in mid-air," Kaedehara explained, "You want to see if I'll do what I did a year ago?" ”

“… Did you know that the one from a year ago was me too? ”

"Now I know."

Kaedehara coughed, he had just been soaked in water, and the wind was very strong, so he was indeed a little cold now.

"That's when you had a glaring flaw, weight. Although your disguise is perfect, when I grabbed you, I noticed that it was not the weight of the adult male, but the woman's... Of course, if it weren't for the accident, no one would have discovered this flaw at all...

It just so happened that during the day, I had just seen your amazing makeup skills... I also followed the follow-up, and the murderer had already committed suicide in another place...

You see, it's easy to think of you that way, isn't it, Aunt Sharon? ”

"Ah, it's Shinichi Kudo..."

This kid not only has the appearance and DNA of Kudo Shinichi, but also has Kudo Shinichi's memory, and has the same reasoning ability as Conan.

Considering that he has a close relationship with Shiho Miyano's woman, it can't be Conan pretending, then there is no doubt about it...

Her cool brat Shinichi Kudo is really cracked...

The reality that should have been accepted a long time ago still had a big impact on Belmore.

She glanced at Kaede Yuan in a complicated mood, and then suddenly realized something, her face was a little ugly, "Then you were pretending to be dizzy just now?" ”

Kaedehara didn't reply, and looked at her a little speechlessly.

Belmore read the meaning of the look, and asked if her reaction arc was a little too slow.

"That phone call..."

"If you're referring to the message you gave you hair," Kaedehara replied, "yes, I heard it." It's just a keystroke, but your typing speed is a little slow, and you can hear it quite clearly...

OK, Boss. Right? This one doesn't work...

You deleted the message too, but, as you thought, I heard the email address you just entered..."

The address to receive the message is even a landline, as long as you ask the police, even the address and name can be checked.

Belmore clearly knows this, too, "You have no idea what you're up against..."

"I'm not that stupid, I'm not prepared, I won't rush over."

"Like this time?" Belmore let out a sigh of relief and asked instead.

"Just like this time."

"Then I have a question," Belmore moved closer and looked into Kaedehara's eyes, "since you chose to come out with that silly girl, why did you go so far as to disguise yourself as the other party?" ”

“… Because you have no murderous intent towards me. ”

Bringing Ash Yuan Wai out with her was because Kaede felt safer to stay by her side than to leave her alone. And Gray Plains Wai will not hope or accept that he will be left alone.

And it's obviously safer for her to dress up as herself. Ash Hara didn't know Belmore's attitude towards Kudo Shinichi, so she accepted.

"Oh," Belmore thought for a moment, "so you made her pretend to be you because she was worried that I would suddenly shoot her?" ”

“……”

"It's really touching, then, a new problem has arisen, you are so relieved... Leave her alone on the bridge? ”

She wasn't prepared for anything else, because she didn't even have Gray Plain Mourning on this side of her original plan. But she'd been surprised too many times today, and wanted to see Shinichi Kudo show the expression she wanted to see.

But she was disappointed.

"Since you've investigated me, you should know that I'm definitely going to call the police. I and I both have transmitters on our bodies, and the reason for calling the police is the recent serial disappearance of children... And before the police arrive..."

Kaede Yuan raised his head slightly and looked at the laser red dot that appeared on Belmod's head, "Someone promised me that he would guarantee her safety, and in exchange, he would handle everything for you..."

Since the other party has rushed over, it means that the Twilight Police Department and others have also arrived at the scene to protect Gray Yuanai.

Belmore looked at Kaedehara's gaze and was stunned for a moment.

As if realizing something, she looked around a few times before faintly noticing the distant shore where there seemed to be a car parked on the road.

It was a black tool cart. Of course she hadn't been able to see so clearly, and if it weren't for the moonlight being bright tonight, she wouldn't even be able to notice the vague shape.

As if noticing that Belmore was looking over there, the other party moved the gun very intimately, and the laser red dot moved from Belmore's head to her chest.

Belmore noticed. She watched in amazement as the red dot of the laser on her chest slowly moved up again, out of her sight.

Then Belmore looked at Kaedehara and smiled softly.

"At night, at this distance, with such a strong wind, we are still on a rocking boat, we can do this... Shuichi Akai? ”
