Oritis in the world of Detective Conan
Chapter 59: The Shadow of Belstein (Epilogue)
"I'm sorry, Miss Acorus." It was Mandragora who spoke.
"Just the day before the incident, Miss Acorus informed me that she had enough evidence to bring down Rosemary. She was also planning to involve the police and make the truth about the island public."
"But what about those innocent islanders? Wouldn't they be considered Rosemary's accomplices? So... I betrayed Miss Ayame. That's how I was, too. Rosemary used me step by step."
"Nonsense! Slander! Evidence!" Rosemary gestured angrily.
"The evidence is that diary! Although it has been sealed as evidence, it will be enough if Miss Acorus tells me which page it is on!" Mandragora's body trembled.
"It seems that you are determined to expose this secret? If Rosemary wants to protect her research results, she must stand up and admit that this is not her crime. What a good plan, Mandragora." Tuberose walked in front of Rosemary.
"Acorus, or should I call you 'Air Force'? I think you recognized me too, right?" Tuberose looked at Acorus, or Air Force, and said, slowly taking off her mask.
"Jack, huh, should I thank you for saving my life? If you hadn't stopped the others from guarding that pit, I might have died." The airman took off his hat and looked at Jack coldly. "Did you send my letter of authorization?"
"And it was you who sent the commission letter for this young detective." Jack smiled.
Conan finally remembered where the familiar feeling he felt when facing the tuberose came from. What on earth did that nasty guy from the Oletus supervisor camp want to do?
"You're worthy of being Ms. Farrow's disciple, but it's a pity you missed the mark by one move. Your useless sense of justice almost got you killed, didn't it?" Jack folded his hands and mocked the Air Force.
"Air Force sister..." Conan looked at the air force sister with a pale face and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"Okay, back to the point." Jack turned to Judge Widowmaker. "I'm the one who murdered Miss Ayame."
"Please allow me to explain my crime."
Judge Widowmaker nodded in agreement.
"On the day of the crime, before it rained, I entered Mandala's residence and left my artwork. Little Detective, you should know what it is."
"That painting?" Conan recalled the "Death of Alcestis".
"Yes, a special flower juice is added to the paint, which has a certain hypnotic and hallucinogenic effect."
"But by some strange coincidence, the poison of the bee venom was neutralized, saving Miss Acorus from death."
"But your makeup skills are really amazing. I almost killed my colleague with my own hands."
Jack smiled unapologetically, while Air Force glared at him.
After confirming Jack's guilt, Judge Black Lily made the verdict.
"Ms. Mandragora is not guilty. The criminal in this case is Mr. Tuberose, and he is sentenced to life imprisonment."
Jack was taken away.
Conan's back was soaked with cold sweat, and the air force quickly stepped forward to support him.
The two chatted on the way back to the hotel.
"What did the Air Force sister write in that letter of entrustment?"
"This island has been targeted by one of the Overseers, Jack, who came here to steal the method for making plant specimens. The letter he wrote to me said that the island contained the raw materials for the elixir of life. I thought he was referring to those special plants."
"But Jack had already infiltrated the High Priest's place. I could only start with Miss Mandragora, helping her take back the island, and then obtain information about the special plants. Now it seems that Miss Mandragora is also using me..."
"Before we set off, just in case, my master, 'Ms. Farrow,' and I agreed to contact each other daily to let everyone know we were safe. But I was unconscious due to the poisoning and didn't contact her regularly. She must have been anxious and sent you a letter of authorization. It was to avoid direct contact with the police while allowing official intervention. I'm sorry for taking advantage of you."
"It's okay. Air Force Sister's life is hanging by a thread. Iris, a flower that symbolizes honesty and trust, is very suitable for you." Conan comforted Air Force. "But, is there really a plant on this island that can produce the elixir of life?"
"Probably not, otherwise Jack wouldn't have confessed so readily. He should have already mastered the method of making plant specimens. Oh, tuberose, the flower language is 'dangerous love'? It suits him."
"So, including the high priest, all the islanders were manipulated by Jack..." Conan said, sweat breaking out on his forehead. "But he's been sent to the island prison now, right?"
Suddenly, Air Force seemed to realize something and eagerly grabbed Conan and ran towards the hotel.
"Oh no! If they've already got the stuff, there must be other members coming to the island to kidnap him. I'm afraid the island will be in turmoil. The police will be here soon, so you should leave quickly with Detective Maori and the others."
Conan, caught in the armpits of the Air Force, adjusted to the turbulence while asking, "Who is the member who sent Jack to steal the method of making plant specimens?"
"Codenamed 'Photographer,' he's been active among socialites in various capacities, all for the elusive elixir of immortality. This time, while the herb wasn't found on the island, he did bring with him a new technique."
The two rushed to the hotel, and Kogoro Mouri and Ran had already woken up.
After informing the two that the trial was over and the real murderer had been taken away, Conan looked in shock at the flower fields in the distance that were ablaze with fire.
"It's on fire!" Kogoro Mouri, who had just woken up from a coma, was shocked.
The fire spread rapidly, and the flames almost burned half the sky red. Maori Kogoro and a few others fled to the seaside.
At the beach, Inspector Megure arrived late. He quickly took several people onto the boat and notified the fire department to come.
However, before the fireboats arrived, everything on the island had already been reduced to ashes. The beautiful and fragrant flowers and mysterious and charming plants were all destroyed in the fire, leaving no trace for the police.
Conan looked at the island that had turned into scorched earth, thought about the new information he had obtained, and slowly walked back to the cabin from the deck.
[Fire Investigator: How did I set the fire this time?]
[Acrobat: It's spectacular.]
[Explorer: Indeed.]
[Jack: Could you have let me know before setting the fire? I almost got burned.]
[Hitter: Just be content. I'm in the flower field, and it's getting really hot. It almost turned me another shade darker.]
[Fisherwoman: What a shame, such a beautiful island was burned down.]
[Magician: It's okay. Next time, there will be a new stage to build for the new script.]
[Crazy Eyes: Wouldn't it be too extravagant to burn it down right after we built it? Even though we transplanted all those plants ourselves, it didn't cost us much, but it took a lot of time and effort.]
[Guard 26: Flowers are beautiful, but soil is dirty.]
[Mechanic: Bang Bang got all covered in mud trying to transplant these flowers.]
[Aviator: I remember I cleaned Bang Bang five times after the procedure.]
[Novelist: Next time, let’s create a recycling scene.]
[First Mate: At least the performance was a success, wasn't it?]
[Bartender: So we can have a party to celebrate?]
[Painter: I suggest those who have returned go wash up first.]
[Perfumer: Indeed, it smells either earthy or smoky, and one even has a burnt smell.]
[Batter: ...]
