"PUT ON MASCARA! Sister, that portable mirror!" Haibara Ai looked at Miyano Akemi.

After Haibara Ai said this, Miyano Akemi also remembered.

"Mascara?"

The three of them looked at the Miyano sisters.

Huiyuan Ai explained: "At that time, a cosmetics company launched an activity that gave away a portable mirror when you bought mascara. It was very popular. The portable mirror had the words 'PUT ON MASCARA' on it."

Miyano Akemi said: "I have this portable mirror, it's a relic left by my mother."

"But this Amanda was already over eighty years old at that time." Huibara Ai held her chin and thought.

"Could it be Haneda Hiroshi's? As a Go player, you should pay attention to your appearance."

Masumi Sera expressed her guess that her second brother Hideyoshi Haneda was also a chess player.

Beichuan Taki smiled and said, "I think it's Asaka's."

Akai Mary murmured, "No matter who it belongs to, could this 'PTON' be a clue?"

Sera Masumi nodded and said, "This portable mirror was very close to Haneda Hiroshi, and there was a pair of scissors next to it. He clearly had the marks of gripping the scissors in his hand. Could he have deliberately cut out the other letters?"

Ai Huiyuan pointed to a line of text on the computer and said, "It's very likely that he cut off the other letters here with scissors because it said the faucet in the sink was running non-stop!"

After a pause, she explained: "The hydroxide in the water can destroy the molecular structure of the glass, making it easier to cut."

Akemi Miyano said: "If you remove 'PTON' from 'PUT ON MASCARA', you only have 'UMASCARA' left."

After repeating these eight letters several times, Sera Masumi and Haibara Ai suddenly looked up and said at the same time: "ASACA (浅香)!"

Akai Mary's eyes narrowed. "Then that leaves 'UMR'."

U·M·R?

Kitagawa Taki had a strange look on his face. He didn't think of Rum first, but instead thought of Komari who could change size at any time.

"RUM?!" Several women exclaimed in unison.

Miyano Akemi hesitated and asked, "Does this mean that Asaka is Rum?"

Beichuan Taki shook his head and said, "I don't think so. If Asaka is Rum, how could Haneda Hiroshi have the time to leave such information?

It's only possible that Asaka held Rum back, allowing Haneda Hiroshi to take the opportunity to leave a message."

Akai Mari agreed with Kitagawa Taki's point of view, "But then, where did this Asaka go? Did she escape?"

Beichuan Taki speculated: "Is there a possibility that the information on this website was left by this Asaka?"

Sera Masamune said, "Indeed, the only people who can still care about an old case from more than ten years ago are those who were involved."

"Anyway, let's see if there is any way to investigate the publisher of this information!" Kitagawa Taki said.

The women nodded.

"By the way." Akai Mary looked at Huiyuan Ai and asked, "Shiho, do you have any other information about Rum?"

Huiyuan Ai said: "There is only one thing that can be confirmed, that is, one of Rum's eyes is a prosthetic eye! The rest of the information is vague.

Such as strong men, men who look like women, and elderly people..."

"Prosthetic eye?"

Akai Mari murmured, followed by a violent coughing fit.

She covered her chest with her hands and looked a little uncomfortable.

"Mom?" Sera Masumi walked forward with concern.

Akai Mary suppressed her discomfort and said, "I... just feel a little uncomfortable..."

Beichuan Taki frowned. Could it be that the effect of the liquor had worn off?

But isn’t this too fast?

Calculating the time, it took less than an hour to recover.

Is it because Akai Mary is much older than Conan, so the duration is shorter?

Just as Kitagawa Taki guessed, Akai Mary's condition was becoming increasingly abnormal. She began to breathe heavily and her face turned red.

Huiyuan said sadly, "It's very likely that Baigan'er's effect is about to wear off!"

"Zhen...Jun...help me into the room!" Akai Mary gritted her teeth and said with difficulty.

She didn't want to change back in front of Kitagawa Taki.

Masumi Sera quickly helped Mari Akai into the bedroom, and Ai Haibara followed.

Kitagawa Taki naturally wouldn't go with them, otherwise Haibara Ai would definitely kick him out.

……

Ten minutes later, Haibara Ai came out of the room alone.

Miyano Akemi asked with concern: "How is Aunt Mary?"

Huiyuan said sadly: "It's okay, she's asleep now, and Shiliang is watching over her."

Miyano Akemi breathed a sigh of relief.

Huiyuan Ai sat down next to Miyano Akemi, crossed her arms, and asked Kitagawa Taki across from her: "Why didn't you go out with your sisters before?"

Akai Mary and Sera Masumi were there just now, so it was not convenient for her to ask.

Miyano Akemi recalled how Akai Mari's clothes were about to burst, "Could it be that Taki-kun..."

Haibara Ai didn't say that Kitagawa Taki saw everything.

Beichuan Taki's face remained calm as he smiled and said, "I'm just afraid of accidents. Staying at the scene is just in case!"

Huiyuan Ai snorted and said, "Let's go back! I've already talked to Aunt Mary."

She is now anxious to go back and research the antidote.

……

in the afternoon.

Kitagawa Taki drove out and came to a coffee shop in Beika Town.

"Taki!" Yukiko Fujimine waved her hand.

Kitagawa Taki looked over and found that Vermouth was there too.

Does Yukiko Fujimine really want to introduce Vermouth to him?

He thought Fujimine Yukiko was just talking.

In fact, Fujimine Yukiko regretted it right after she said it, but she couldn't resist Vermouth mentioning it to her, so she agreed to introduce the two to each other.

Fujimine Yukiko smiled and said, "Taki, I don't need to introduce this person, right? She's the American superstar, Chrissie Wynyard!"

Then, she introduced him to Vermouth: "Chris, this is the Kitagawa Taki you've been thinking about!"

Thinking about it all the time?

Kitagawa Taki raised his eyebrows.

"Hello, Mr. Kitagawa!" Vermouth had a warm smile on her face.

Kitagawa Taki responded: "Hello, Miss Chris!"

It's rare that the two of them have to go to such great lengths to pretend not to know each other.

When Yukiko Fujimine finds out the truth, her expression will definitely be very interesting.

After saying hello, Kitagawa Taki sat opposite them.

Yukiko Fujimine stood up and sat down next to Taki Kitagawa.

"Yukiko, you abandoned me as soon as Mr. Kitagawa came!" Vermouth said rather resentfully.

Fujimine Yukiko covered her mouth and laughed, "Chris, then go find one too!"

Vermouth chuckled and said meaningfully, "I want to, too, but I'm afraid you don't want to."

Fujimine Yukiko immediately became alert and hugged Kitagawa Taki's arm and said, "Chris, don't have any ideas about Taki!"

Kitagawa Taki shook his head secretly in his heart. Didn’t Yukiko feel something was wrong?

How could best friends make such jokes in person when they meet for the first time?
