File 891: The last piece

p.2

[Side note:] Who’s this woman that talks so familiarly with Jodie … ?

Shibuya Natsuko: Oh, Jodie!

Natsuko: What’s up?

Natsuko: Ah, was that today? That we wanted to go out for drinks together …

Jodie: How is it? Have you become used to being an elementary school teacher yet?

Natsuko: I sure have. I’m the popular beauty who returned from abroad!

Natsuko: Is what I’d like to say …

Natsuko: But I’ve got a lot going on right now and it’s a bit stressful …

Natsuko: I have a parent-teacher meeting after this as well ...

Jodie: I see ... I guess drinks for tonight are off then ...

Natsuko: More importantly, why are you even still in Japan? I thought your undercover investigation was already over ...

Jodie: What a thing to say after inviting me. My situation also isn’t as clear-cut as it might seem, you know ...

p.3

Jodie: Alright, talk to you later!

Camel: A friend of yours?

Jodie: Yes. I helped her out when she got involved in a case while studying abroad in America and we got to know each other.

Camel: I see.

Jodie: She was also the one who taught me Japanese and helped me out a lot when I was working undercover as an English teacher …

Jodie: I guess you could call her my teaching buddy …

Amuro: Shibuya Natsuko, 28 …

Amuro: Elementary school teacher …

Vermouth: Who’s that?

Amuro: She’s my client ...

Amuro: And also ...

p.4

Amuro: The person who will likely help me ...

Amuro: Put the last piece into place ...

Vermouth: So what is it? This last piece of yours ...

Amuro: !?

Vermouth: Someone just fell down the stairs ...

[SFX bubbles:] *haa* *haa*

Amuro: Looks like the the puzzle is about to be completed ...

[SFX bubble:] *clack*

p.5

Genta: Oi Conan!

Genta: Let’s play soccer on the way home!

Genta: Where did he go?

Ayumi: He’s over there!

Mitsuhiko: He’s being picked up by car, it seems ...

Ayumi: It’s probably the uncle from the detective agency!

Haibara: No, it’s not ...

Haibara: That’s a Benz ... that detective wouldn’t rent such an expensive car ...

Haibara (thoughts): That’s right ... that’s the FBI car I saw before ...

Haibara (thoughts): But the fact that he didn’t caution me to be careful at all ...

Haibara (thoughts): Means that something has happened ...

Haibara (thoughts): Something outside of my territory ...

p.6

Jodie: Kusuda Rikumichi?

Jodie: Ah, the BO spy who infiltrated the hospital where Mizunashi Reina was hospitalized ...

Jodie: He committed suicide by shooting himself in the head, if I remember correctly ...

Conan: Yes!

Conan: Please tell your collegues from the FBI not to let that fact leak to the outside!

Conan: The organization member named Bourbon, ...

Conan: Amuro Tooru, is investigating the matter!

Jodie: No problem!

Jodie: Did you just call me out here to tell me that?

Conan: Yes ... it’s really easy to bug cell phones after all ...

Conan: And there’s one more thing ...

Conan: I wanted to tell you ...

Conan: It could be that that man called Amuro ...

[SFX bubble] *ring*

Jodie: Ah, excuse me ...

Jodie: I’ll just park at the shoulder and take that call ...

[SFX bubbles:] *ring* *ring*

p.7-15

Jodie is informed that Natsuko is in the hospital and in critical condition. She is asked to come to the crime scene because a record of her phone call with Natsuko was found in the latter’s call history, yada, yada.
Camel is there because Jodie made the call from Camel’s phone, so the police contacted him first.
An anonymous person informed the police about Natsuko’s accident about 1 hour after Jodie talked with her last night, but they had some trouble finding her belongings & identity.
Lots of case stuff ...
After finding out that Natsuko was supposed to have a parent-teacher meeting last night after the phone call they contact various other people in her call history, including the two suspects and Amuro ...
Which brings us to ...

p.15 (last 3 panels)

Man: And on top of that, she went and hired a strange detective ...

Megure & Takagi: A detective?

Man: I was going to give that woman a piece of my mind and followed her home ...

Man: When that guy suddenly grabbed me by my collar!!

Voice: It couldn’t be helped ...

p.16

Amuro: Seeing how she hired me because she was being stalked …

Conan (thoughts): Bourbon …

Conan (thoughts): !?

Amuro: Please excuse my tardiness. I’m Amuro, a detective!

Megure: Did you call him here?

Takagi: His number was also in the victim’s call history …

Amuro: Those two …

Amuro: Are they English teachers?

Takagi: Ah, no, these two are FBI agents …

Takagi: Who happen to be helping with the investigation …

Amuro: Oh?

Amuro: FBI, you say?

Side note: Bourbon arrives! Black intentions abound?!
Who can predict what will happen in the must-see next issue?!!
