Chapter 85 The Amnesiac Beauty Assassin
Today was a good day. As soon as Akutagawa Hiko stepped out of his house, he saw an ordinary-looking cleaner carrying a large sack, walking out of Professor Agasa's house.
This wouldn't normally be a problem, since Professor Agasa isn't one to clean himself; he occasionally calls a cleaner to help tidy up some less important rooms.
The problem is, this cleaner is disguised, and her disguise is even more perfect than that of Yukiko Kudo, whom we've seen before.
However, this did not escape Akutagawa Hiko's notice.
Moreover, although it wasn't obvious, Akutagawa Hiko could sense that the cleaner was sizing him up.
At this point in time, Akutagawa Hiko thinks it's more likely that Kuroba Kaito is here to scout the location, since Haibara Ai hasn't appeared yet, and Vermouth is probably still abroad.
In the original storyline, Kaito Kuroba once disguised himself as an ordinary cleaner to gather information at the home of Kogoro Mouri, the famous detective invited by the Suzuki Foundation, and later disguised himself as Ran Mouri.
Now that Suzuki Shiro has invited Akutagawa Hiko, it's not hard to understand why Kuroba Kaito would appear here in disguise.
Seeing that the cleaner had received his wages and was about to leave, Akutagawa Hiko quickly chased after him and stopped him before he got into his car. Kuroba Kaito was startled, but remained outwardly calm: "Young man, if you want your cleaning done, please make an appointment in advance."
I'm going to the next place.
Akutagawa Kawahiko reached out and was about to pinch the cleaner's face. This was the quickest way to identify the disguise of Kaito Kid. No matter how similar the face looked, it couldn't be the real one.
Kaito Kuroba quickly backed away: "Hey, hey, hey, that's incredibly rude of you, handsome! How can you touch someone's face like that right away!"
Akutagawa crossed his arms, his tone relaxed and confident: "Stop pretending, Phantom Thief Kid, or rather, the second-generation Kid."
Upon hearing this, cold sweat poured down Kaito Kuroba's forehead, which was disguised.
Is there any flaw in my disguise? How did this person see through it at a glance? Even a famous detective has to follow basic rules, right? Are you sure you're not just guessing?
Also, how would the second-generation Kid know about his father's death? And how much does he know about it?
One question after another came, but Kaito Kuroba forced himself to remain calm: "Sir, I don't know what you're talking about. Please step aside. My work is really urgent."
Akutagawa casually stepped aside, and just as the person was about to disappear around the corner, he calmly uttered a single word: "Pandora—".
It was quite obvious that the cleaner paused for a moment, but Kaito Kuroba did not seem inclined to turn back to ask what was going on. He was not fully prepared and could not afford to be a lamb to the slaughter.
That afternoon, a loud crash rang out as the bus and truck collided, and the accident triggered Akutagawa Hiko's memories.
If I remember correctly, it seems that a prisoner who was sent to jail by Conan escaped, so he contacted an assassin who wanted to kill Kogoro Mouri. And it was during this car accident that the beautiful assassin lost her memory in a very melodramatic way.
And it just so happens that he ran into Kogoro Mouri, who had just lost a bet on horse racing.
After watching for a while, a short-haired woman wearing earrings staggered out of the bus, holding her forehead with a blank look in her eyes.
Clearly, having lost her memory in the car accident, she did not pass the three philosophical questions.
As she was about to cross the overpass, Akutagawa Hiko followed, his mind automatically replaying the image of Kogoro Mouri being suspended by wires.
Logically speaking, suspending a person with such a thin steel wire is not intended to suffocate them; if used properly, this thing can be just as effective as a sharp tool.
These two, one who can hang a person up, and the other who can hold onto a steel wire for so long, clearly both have the added advantage of being blessed with Ke Xue's physique.
When Akutagawa Hiko reached the top of the overpass, the female assassin simply hurled herself at the three of them.
As a concerned detective passing by, he naturally couldn't let it go unnoticed.
The four of them worked together to take the woman to the hospital. After a series of examinations, they were able to determine that she was not seriously injured and was only experiencing temporary amnesia.
It must be said that the efficiency of the examination at Mihana Hospital today was really high. So many tests were completed in just over an hour, and the results were already out.
In the past, expecting to get results in less than a day was simply wishful thinking.
This presented a challenge for the group, as the person couldn't remember who they were, where they lived, or how they lost their memory.
Therefore, after obtaining the amnesiac woman's consent, the group examined, analyzed, and deduced from her personal belongings.
Unfortunately, all I could find after searching was a puzzle piece and a tattered piece of paper.
However, Akutagawa Hiko's eyes were drawn to the pendant on the woman's chest, and he asked, "May I take a look at this pendant?"
The woman instinctively clenched her hands to protect the pendant, looked up at Akutagawa Hiko's eyes, and suddenly felt a sense of disorientation, as if something had entered her mind.
Immediately afterwards, as if suddenly coming to his senses, he quickly took off the pendant and handed it to Akutagawa Hiko.
Akutagawa Kawahiko took the pendant, studied it for a while, then gently pulled on a protruding corner and pulled out a steel wire.
Kogoro Mouri leaned closer curiously: "What's this?"
It's the thing that almost killed you in the original storyline.
Akutagawa silently complained to himself, then explained, "It's steel wire, and a specially made kind at that, which is much tougher than ordinary steel wire."
Kogoro Mouri stroked his chin and asked with some curiosity, "Why do you carry something like this with you? That's really strange."
Ran Mouri tapped her right hand against her palm and guessed, "Maybe it's for self-defense, Dad. Think about it, it's reasonable for such a pretty girl to carry something for self-defense, right?"
Kogoro Mouri suddenly realized, "As expected of the daughter of the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, she's got a brilliant mind."
Conan's lips twitched slightly.
With cases occurring frequently lately, he successfully used the tranquilizer dart given to him by the professor to anesthetize Kogoro Mouri, and then indulged in a good dose of deduction. The title of the sleeping detective gradually spread.
While not as well-known as Akutagawa Hiko, who already had a large fan base, he was still somewhat famous.
Immediately afterward, Conan noticed that the amnesiac woman's expression suddenly changed when she saw the wire. Seeing that Yan hadn't noticed what was happening, he quickly asked, "Did you remember something, sister?"
The woman couldn't help but cover her forehead with her hand. It felt like someone was holding a stick and stirring it around in her head, making it impossible for her to think.
Immediately afterward, Akutagawa Hiko's words caused the memories in her mind to suddenly become a fragmented puzzle, almost complete—
