So far, the Rum arc has been very great. The ambiguity calls for very interesting variety of theories.

Re: Rum Arc Discussion Thread (Plot + Characters)
About the hand mirror, it was assumed that it was Haneda's because it was found in his room and only his fingerprints were found on them. I'm assuming that from the fact that everything was proofed for fingerprints. If there were another fingerprint on it that person would be the suspect.
Now, how and why did a cleaned off hand mirror got to Haneda? Because it was with Asaka before. Unless there are two mirrors and they are totally not related. But then would Haneda really need a hand mirror? For his looks? If he was concious about that that much he would have switched his glasses to contacts. I believe.
And why wasn't Amanda Hughes on the Aptx list? Her death was also caused by 'unidentified cause'. Why was Haneda on it, but she wasn't? She is supposed to be the main target. Or her death was as true as Sharon's?
Sorry for not having any ideas for these questions, I just thought that they might be relevent.

We don't really know if there was any fingerprints or not, because we don't even know how much the uploader revealed in the website. Even if there was someone else's fingerprints, if there's nothing to compare it with, it will simply end up being a mysterious fingerprint with no identity. If Asaka is a woman, and she fled after Rum and Tsutomu left, then it's also possible that she removed her fingerprints out of desperation(thinking that she might be blamed). Overall, my rule of thumb is that Gosho always delivers the information that is important and relevant to the solution, meaning that the fact that fingerprints wasn't mentioned likely means that it's less likely to be relevant, so the important ideas that were thrown out by Haibara(by Gosho) is currently the only clues we have about how Kohji got it.Misztina wrote:About the hand mirror, it was assumed that it was Haneda's because it was found in his room and only his fingerprints were found on them.

Since Haibara adressed the likelihood that it's his(due to Shogi players caring for their looks), I think it's a safe bet to assume that he used it, and that it was probably given to him by a woman. I don't think Gosho would go to such lengths to explain why Kohji probably used it unless it's the truth(judging by Gosho's case-exposition pattern). Glasses being considered bad-looking is not a universal truth.Misztina wrote:But then would Haneda really need a hand mirror? For his looks?

Just because it wasn't in the same list as Shinichi doesn't mean it wasn't in a list at all. Maybe Sherry just remembered Kohji's name because Shinichi's name was two rows above it(and she had checked his list more than once, due to his disappearance).Misztina wrote:And why wasn't Amanda Hughes on the Aptx list?

You brought up good points, so don't worry about it.

Well, it might as well be Vermouth or Bourbon in disguise, no?
