Chapter 125 Ai Haibara: This man can be trusted
After chatting with Conan and the others for a while, Akutagawa Hiko's attention was drawn to all sorts of costumes. Although they weren't Ultraman, some of the monster costumes were quite impressive.
Seeing that Akutagawa Hikaru's attention was drawn to the leather case in the room next door, Haibara Ai nudged Conan, who was lost in thought, and asked, "Does he ever act this childish?"
Conan, interrupted from his thoughts, rolled his eyes at Ai Haibara, who was holding back information, and said, "Don't say that. He can hear you, though he won't get angry."
Ai Haibara glanced somewhat guiltily at the enthusiastic Hiko Akutagawa beside her, then pulled up the hood of her clothes.
Akutagawa Hiko did indeed hear Ai Haibara's words, and as Conan said, he didn't care. Being childish requires capital, and he certainly had the power to ensure that even though he was childish, his interests wouldn't be harmed.
Ai Haibara's tone, which is not malicious and even a little envious, is naturally fine.
Of course, if someone had malicious intent, Akutagawa Hiko would let the person who said those words know why the flowers are so red.
Touching these rubber cases, Akutagawa Hiko felt a touch of emotion.
The suits used today are so much more advanced than those from decades ago; in terms of the viewing experience, they are incredibly realistic.
After thinking it over, Akutagawa Hiko decided that he still had to try to prevent the case from happening.
Although the creator of Kame is not a good person, at most he is just a money-grubbing fool who has no vision to discover the potential of the Gomera IP. In addition, he spread rumors. Although he is disgusting, he does not deserve to die.
Moreover, it's such a pity that someone who has been playing Gomera for ten years, whose face can't even be shown under the suit, and who hopes to continue playing the role, has gone to jail.
Hiko Akutagawa is still looking forward to his new work.
Unfortunately, he's neither Conan nor Naruto Uzumaki, and his persuasive skills are really lacking.
It's really beyond his ability to persuade them.
But it doesn't matter, he has other targets, such as that lady over there named Tomomi Sakaguchi, who has worked with Hidehiro Matsui for ten years and seems to have some ambiguous relationship with him.
Using the reputation of a renowned detective to convince Tomomi Sakaguchi that Hidehiro Matsui was going to commit murder, and then having her go and persuade him, would have a much higher success rate than having Hiko Akutagawa directly try to stop him.
While Akutagawa was admiring the suit, the producer, Kame, came out, hurled insults at Gomera, and then prepared to leave.
If it weren't for the existing rumors that Matsui had no intention of continuing to play Gomera, he probably would have received more than just angry stares from a bunch of people.
Just as Matsui volunteered to show the children around the costumes, Akutagawa Hiko called out to Sakaguchi Tomomi, who was about to go see porn.
"Ms. Sakaguchi, could you spare a moment? There are some things you might need to know."
Although somewhat puzzled, Tomomi Sakaguchi felt that a famous detective wouldn't make baseless accusations, so she naturally followed him.
Next up was Conan, who wasn't very interested in the tour, followed by Ai Haibara, who was following Conan, and then Ayumi, who was quite attached to Conan and Ai, also joined in.
The Junior Detective Club suddenly lost three members, and the two girls even ran after them. Even though they still wanted to see the monster costumes, they caught up with the others.
This completely threw Matsui Hidehiro, who had planned to use these children as witnesses and make them a key part of his murder plot, into a corner.
Akutagawa Hiko arrived at the stairwell and looked speechlessly at the string of little tails hanging behind him, even the protagonist of the whole incident had actually followed.
Sakaguchi Tomomi naturally noticed the group of six people—one adult and five children—behind her. Seeing that Akutagawa Hiko was in a difficult position, she decided to take the initiative to persuade them to leave.
However, Akutagawa Hiko stopped him: "Never mind, this matter is actually related to Mr. Matsui as well."
Matsui Hidego was initially quite relaxed, but Akutagawa Hiko's next sentence made him tense and on edge.
"Mr. Matsui, do you intend to kill Producer Kamei?"
Everyone stared in disbelief. Sakaguchi Tomomi covered her mouth in shock: "This can't be! You must have seen wrong. Even a famous detective wouldn't slander Hideaki like this! Say something!"
Sakaguchi Tomomi's eyes were already brimming with tears. She had worked with this man for ten years, and judging from his expression, she could tell that the truth was probably pretty much what the detective in front of her had said.
Matsui Hidehiro looked at Sakaguchi Tomomi, her eyes brimming with tears, and at the children who genuinely loved Gomera, as well as those frowning at him.
The famous detective, who also loves Gomera, could never bring himself to say no.
In the end, the man who had dedicated ten years of his youth to Gomera slumped to the ground and nodded in acknowledgment of his plan.
"But why? Didn't you say that you had reached your limit with Gomera and wanted to switch to a more ordinary role? It was because of your decision that everyone stopped continuing to play Gomera."
Matsui Hidego shook his head and said, "That's not how it is. It was all orchestrated by that guy Kamei. By the time I found out, I didn't want to continue the Gomera rumors anymore, and it had been two weeks already."
Hidehiro Matsui looked up at the motion-activated light on the ceiling, his eyes, which had been squinting, now opening wide: "When I found him, he even said he planned to use 'The Great Battle of Gomera: Gomera's Death' as publicity—"
This means that it is impossible to continue making Gomera films in the future, and the so-called sequel is nothing more than a lie to appease and deceive them.
Sakaguchi Tomomi, bent over, placed her hands on the shoulders of the slumped Matsunami Hidehiro, gritting her teeth as she said, "Why didn't you come to us to discuss this?!"
Matsunami Hidehiro kept his head down, not daring to look at his partner of ten years.
No, if it weren't for this plan, perhaps my identity would have changed by now.
"I don't know how to start this. This movie should be considered the final chapter of Gomera. When I saw everyone working so hard, I really cried."
A loud slap startled the chattering children in the background, while Matsui Hidego was completely stunned.
Sakaguchi Tomomi turned to Akutagawa Hiko and said, "Thank you, Mr. Akutagawa."
Then, he grabbed Matsunami Hideaki and ran towards the screening room.
As Ai Haibara watched Akutagawa Hiko prevent a murder, her image of him gradually became more complete.
Although he is a dangerous person, he is someone you can trust.
Led by Hiko Akutagawa, a group of children followed behind and happened to witness the entire crew confronting Producer Kamei. They then quietly pulled the unaware Professor Agasa into joining the crew's camp.
