Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

And so, Kimie Shimabukuro left the Kurosawa Detective Agency...............................

Although she was still somewhat reluctant to leave, she had no reason to linger any longer...

Moreover, before she left, Lin Jiayou assigned her another task............................

Upon receiving his master's instructions, Kimie Shimabukuro naturally carried them out without hesitation or delay...

After Shimabukuro Kimie left, Lin Jiayou stood alone, silently looking at the note in front of him, which Shimabukuro Kimie had dictated and which he had silently written down, pondering deeply...

"If it weren't for this incident, I probably wouldn't even know you existed..."

"You can also write down your thoughts on paper..."

"........................"

Lin Jiayou stared at the paper in front of him, muttering to himself...

He seemed to have sensed something in those two sentences...

If it weren't for this incident...

What exactly is this "event" referring to?

According to Kimie Shimabukuro, Matsumoto Kiyonaga left a message on this note, and although none of the sentences were dated, this sentence was at the very top...

Therefore, this sentence should be the source of these words, and also the one that best reveals the truth of the matter...

You can also write down any thoughts you have on paper........................

This statement clearly indicates that Matsumoto Kiyonaga was speaking to one person; otherwise, it would be impossible to understand or write the words...

So, judging from the literal meaning, it seems that a certain incident made Matsumoto Kiyonaga realize the existence of someone...

Matsumoto Kiyonaga wasn't averse to this person, which can be seen from his desire for the other party's cooperation.

He wanted to contact someone in secret, and he wasn't opposed to this person. He hoped that after seeing his message, the person would write a reply on a piece of paper...

Also, this sentence is quite interesting.........................

Lin Jiayou's gaze slowly fell on that sentence—

"I'm back. I've returned to Investigation Division 1 from Investigation Division 2. Although I'm still an officer, not the division chief I used to be, I still want to thank you....................................."

This sentence is quite different from the others...

The other words exchanged ideas to varying degrees, but this one sentence was a one-sided expression of gratitude...............................

But why should we express our gratitude?

Matsumoto Kiyonaga returned to the First Investigation Division from the Second Investigation Division. Lin Jiayou knew perfectly well what had happened...

Wasn't it because he used Matsumoto Kiyonaga's face to do something great for him, and incidentally let him ride on the coattails of Gin's popularity gained because of the Suzuki family, that Gin skyrocketed to fame?

But why would Matsumoto Kiyonaga use this to thank that person in the shadows?

etc--

Lin Jiayou suddenly realized something.........................

He turned his gaze back to the entire note........................

Lin Jiayou suddenly remembered that Shimabukuro Kimie had said she found this note while tidying up Matsumoto Kiyonaga's study.

This thing is in Matsumoto Kiyonaga's house!

If it were someone Matsumoto Kiyonaga suddenly realized he knew, unless that person was a relative, then even if Matsumoto Kiyonaga wanted to contact him, it would be impossible...

It's impossible to leave a note at home!

If you want to contact them, leaving the package in the mailbox, on the front door, in the entryway, or anywhere else that's outwards is reasonable.

However, this is unreasonable at home..................................

Logically speaking, outsiders shouldn't be able to get into Matsumoto Kiyonaga's house!

In other words, this person is Matsumoto Kiyonaga, someone I know very, very well...

Lin Jiayou vaguely grasped some clues. Connecting them to Matsumoto Kiyonaga's words of gratitude earlier, he seemed to realize something...

Beep beep beep—beep beep beep—

Lin Jiayou dialed Shimabukuro Kimie's number.....................

Because it was her mentor calling, Kimie Shimabukuro answered immediately.......................

"Hey, Master, is there anything you need me to tell you...?"

"Hmm, I'm asking you about Junhui,"

Lin Jiayou narrowed his eyes and asked,

"Where in Matsumoto Kiyonaga's study did you find this paper...........................?"

"which place?"

Shimabukuro Kimie was slightly taken aback.

She really didn't care much about this matter...........................

However, thanks to her recent memory training, she quickly recalled...

"In the drawer!"

Kimie Shimabukuro said with absolute certainty,

"I remember, it was in a drawer on the left side of the study............................"

"Okay, I understand........................."

Lin Jiayou nodded, then casually said goodbye to Shimabukuro Kimie before hanging up the phone.............................

Lin Jiayou finally understood......................

It turns out that Matsumoto Kiyonaga wrote this piece of paper for 'him'...........................

After reviewing everything again, Lin Jiayou slowly nodded...

His lips twitched involuntarily.

He knew it! How could Matsumoto Kiyonaga be so audacious as to claim credit for something that wasn't his?

So this guy really thinks that Matsumoto Kiyonaga did what happened on the airship!

Lin Chia-yu believes the situation is roughly as follows—

Matsumoto Kiyonaga lost consciousness that day for some reason, most likely because he was drunk....................

Upon waking, he discovered that 'he' had actually performed a great service on the airship, and he was completely dumbfounded...

Completely bewildered, Matsumoto Kiyonaga immediately came up with an explanation for himself—he had a split personality....................

Therefore, all the words on this piece of paper were written by Matsumoto Kiyonaga to his second personality..........................

Great, knowing this makes things much easier.......................

Lin Jiayou was overjoyed.

Originally, he intended to disguise himself as Matsumoto Kiyonaga very soon...

If he wants to become Matsumoto Kiyonaga, then the original Matsumoto Kiyonaga will naturally have to disappear............................

Initially, Gin intended to eliminate this guy outright, or, like in the original story, to tie up and imprison Matsumoto Kiyonaga...

However, no matter how Matsumoto Kiyonaga handles it, he will inevitably reveal a flaw and expose the existence of someone behind him........................

Lin Jiayou suggested that he would put in more effort to give Matsumoto Kiyonaga a fake order so that he could go to another city alone for a while, just like a business trip...

As long as the aftermath is handled properly, neither Matsumoto Kiyonaga nor the Metropolitan Police Department will suspect anything.

But now, things are simpler.........................

Matsumoto Kiyonaga actually believes he has a split personality?!

After that, all Lin Jiayou needed to do was drug Matsumoto Kiyonaga each time, then go into one place and come out from another. When the timing matched up, Matsumoto Kiyonaga would automatically believe that his second personality was at work...

The best place would be Matsumoto Kiyonaga's house.........................

All it takes is finding an opportunity to transfer Matsumoto Kiyonaga's wife away for a few days, and then utilizing Matsumoto Kiyonaga's alter ego's ideas, to achieve a seamless transition.................................

No one would have guessed that there was a real Matsumoto Kiyonaga and a fake Matsumoto Kiyonaga in the house, right?

If things were to become even more realistic, Lin Jiayou would occasionally use his exceptional skills to write a few words at night, interacting with Matsumoto Kiyonaga...

That would be even more perfect!

The advantage of this is that Matsumoto Kiyonaga wouldn't notice it at all, nor would he think much of it.

After all, he had already formed a fixed mindset, so he certainly couldn't have imagined that the so-called second personality was all a fake...

Great, let's do it that way..............................

Lin Jiayou made up his mind, got up, and began to prepare for the work ahead.....................................

The first step is to confirm Matsumoto Kiyonaga's second personality...
