i'm a newbie when it comes to forum =) but I'd like to have a word with this topic. I love detective conan so much and I also love deducting ,, hahaha.. but i can't say for sure that I'm good =) about what I think, I really believe that everything that happened during those times up to Akai's (fake) death is part of their plan. Considering Akai and Conan's behavior, planning 3 moves in advance is just their way of fighting. ^^
