That was already a thing, actually—it's not new. It's more a rule than anything else, by now.

I think Japanese under-age criminals' names aren't made public, but they're still held accountable. He could be charged with something.

What of mekucchaeba, and hayaku/hurry?

And was the Mermaid case the best Heiji case?

Have the side-notes at the ends of files ever had such sarcastic hints at the happenings of the next case?

I knew there were two いい there. Does it still mean what I claimed it did? If not, then what does it mean?

But he's clearly aware that the only reason Kogoro is considered a great detective is because of Shinichi/Conan. A seven-year-old is the brains behind Kogoro Mouri, who may have been working with the FBI, against the BO. That's not worthy of reporting (and I do mean reporting to the boss)?

Force of habit.

Yes, I can—who else could it have been, at the time? Gosho then changed it so that they'd be two random FBI agents who'd never be referred to again because he pressed "abort" on Fusae's and Billy's involvement in the story, in this manner.

I still think you're presuming too much.

Gosho never officially answered this on purpose—it was a part of the story that he aborted. These two were meant to be Fusae and Billy from File 410–File 412/Episode 421–Episode 422 (Ginko-Colored First Love).

Am I correct in presuming Hyoue didn't kill the previous number two on purpose? Or do you think otherwise? Police in DC go for capture, not kill (unless you think Hyoue was like Takeda, from the Woodpecker Case, who killed two suspects). What about ASACA RUM? If Koji's hint means that Asaka is Rum, then how does that fit your theory? Was Taka'aki able to become Amanda's bodyguard at 18? I presume this would mean he would've been gone from Japan for an extended period—maybe this'll eventually come up. Do you think if Taka'aki is Rum, he simply doesn't care about the knowledge that Kogoro Mouri has been made into a great detective by Conan Edogawa (and that there is such a smart child who looks just like Shinichi Kudo)? The same Kogoro Mouri who was nearly sniped by Chianti and Korn on Gin's orders after being suspected of bugging Hidemi/Rena/Kir and working with the FBI? Has Taka'aki, if he's Rum, not told "that person" or anyone else in the BO about this? And this was because Gosho said in an interview that we can ignore them, right? I presume that, back when he originally wrote the story for that case, Gosho wanted us to think that these two were Vermouth and Calvados (at least after reading 425, in terms of the latter), but they'd then be revealed as Fusae and Billy during the Halloween Party Case or in the subsequent case. Technically, it's "rumored," like you said, since it was never confirmed in the manga who these two were, but who else could these two be but Fusae and Billy.

And I was just responding to your post—I held no assumptions, either way. Same goes for my response to this: We don't know if Vermouth is fully American, or if she has a Japanese parent, like Akemi and Shiho did—her being involved in the Japanese-based BO would make more sense (IMO) if she had a Japanese parent/Japanese heritage. Minerva is half-British and half-German—plus, the characters in Holmes' Revelation strike me as one-timers, who may not even be mentioned again, outside of situations where Holmes' Revelation is referenced. She's also too young to be Rum. Fusae is old enough, but given that Gosho hinted that she and Billy were in the FBI, her odds of being in the BO go down immediately (yes, Gosho said we can ignore them in an interview, but that, in itself, means they're likely not to play a major role, going forward, and I doubt that Gosho would turn Shuichi's subordinate into Rum). Hopefully, next Nagano case, Shiho/Ai will appear... that should help to make things clearer, in regards to this possibility.

I'd say we're more talking about her life in general, after the climax with the BO.
