"Hirota Masami", Conan uttered. Mouri, including Ran realized something and both of them scanned the picture again.
The woman looked confused at them, they were in a hurry to see the face of Miyano Akemi. She frowned.
"Dad...", Ran said confirming her memory. Mouri Kogoro sighed in response. Everyone in the room felt the air of sadness.
"Is there something wrong, Mouri-san?" Luna asked.
Mouri sighed again, "...I'm sorry. I can't look for her. Hirota Masami--no, Miyano Akemi had died months ago. I'm sorry for your loss."
Luna who was taken aback by the news, she looked from Mouri to Ran and back again, trying to see if they were lying. But what she saw was Ran's sad face along with Mouri who seemed to remember something sad.
Conan who also knew the truth looked down. Haibara who remembered her sister again had wanted to cry but she forced herself not to.
The moment the woman realized that what the Detective said was the truth she sobbed. Holding her mouth as her tears fell. The room was silent, her voice echoed with sadness.
~Few minutes later~
"Nee-san wanted me to meet her." Haibara said to her companion who seemed confused at her sudden voice.
They were now inside Professor Agasa's house, after the woman got the whole explanation of what had really happened to Miyano Akemi who used an alias, Hirota Masami, she went back home.
"Who?" Conan asked. "A few years ago, she said she met a woman. She said that their relationship can be called those of best friends. She wanted me to meet that woman. Then months before she died, she said that that woman will be back. And she wanted to arrange a meeting between us." Haibara continued.
Professor Agasa also listened as he observed the other three kids playing a game. Haibara sighed.
"My sister said that she was like a Moon, a full moon, bright and beautiful but remains mysterious. She wanted to introduce someone dear to her."
Conan who carefully listened to her asked, "so what are you gonna do now?"
Haibara shrugged. "My sister is dead. That's all there is to it. We can do nothing about it."
Despite her indifference, Agasa and Conan looked at each other and decided not to talk about it anymore.
"Everyone I heard Subaru-san cooked curry. Want to go and eat?" Conan said, the three kids agreed happily and started walking towards the house next door.
"Aren't you coming, Ai-chan?" Ayumi asked. "No, I'm not, enjoy the food of that suspicious person", she said and walked towards her computer. Conan just laughed at her remark to the person next door and went with the other three.
...
"Organization's princess?" Conan repeated. The three other kids seemed to be too occupied with the curry and game console, Conan and Okiya Subaru also known as Akai Shuichi an FBI agent, was having a very serious conversation.
"Yes...according to Kir. A new name. A brand new liquor being added to the shelf." Akai said.
"So...did she say other things about the new member?" the kid asked.
Akai sighed and smiled a little, "yes...a lot. We got the chance to talk few days ago. Cassis, also known as the organization's princess. Why you ask? Turns out this new character is super close to the Boss, very very close. A powerful person. Kir said all the members had heard about Cassis being one of the favorites but just like Rum, we got nothing on him or maybe her. A princess doesn't necessarily mean a woman."
Conan nodded as he waited for Akai to continue. "Kir heard that this person as his/her name suggests is being spoiled not only by the boss but also by a great deal of people. Rum, Vermouth, and...Gin", as soon as the name was mentioned Conan reacted.
"Few also knows his/her very identity. Everyone knew there was a princess but they don't know what he/she looked like. What they know is that this person is not only very skilled but also smart...and not to mention, very dangerous." Akai added.
Conan sighed. "And now since she got the wind of it, looks like this Cassis person is on the move."
Akai nodded in agreement, "yeah...we must be careful."
