can't you make a list with all chapters to? ^__^
I am working on the above. But reasons for the last point.Chekhov MacGuffin wrote:I'm not sure what you are getting at. I already explained why the blood trails disappeared. There was a mystery person off screen who changed things, Akai. After Kir "shot" Akai and he fell down on the seat and played dead, the police began approaching. Gin told Kir to clean up, so Kir walked over to the bonnet of the truck to get the bomb ready. While she was doing that, the inside of the truck was not visible on camera. Akai took this moment to swap out Rikumichi's body which had no blood on the face and presumably hide himself wherever Rikumichi's body was before.sstimson wrote: I should not need to repeat myself, but as you either ignored or missed what I said. I repeat: Kir is there the whole time. What were happen either off camera or off screen she saw. I hope you are not going to suggest a mystery person can in off screen changed things and then left. Kir should be the one who did the changes.
My original point was that there is no good way to explain why the blood trails disappeared if Akai really was killed and there was no one else but Kir at the scene.
Yes, what I said in my previous post.sstimson wrote:Let me add it is clear she does feel bad. Do you have any reason or proof it is not the above?sstimson wrote: But for question one. Point - those show Kir still there. Maybe she feels bad about killing Him and it is her way of showing respect for him and the dead. Maybe she wished to clean him up a little before she set the bomb. Another place where action happen off screen, but As you have shown me these can be anything and as such mean little or nothing.
Chekhov MacGuffin wrote: As I said before, there is no artistic evidence she touched Akai's face or head. If you reread that section, the only time she leaned in close was to plant the bomb, and when Hidemi planted the bomb, Akai was already switched. (The switch happened when Hidemi moved to the bonnet of the vehicle to fiddle with her detonator, taking her camera off Akai for a few moments.) Even supposing she did touch Akai, Gin and Vodka are watching the whole affair over camera. She isn't supposed to be showing sympathy for the enemy. That would raise suspicion from Gin. Also the police sirens started approaching the moment Kir finished the second shot. Are Gin and Vodka going to let her dawdle playing with Akai's head and wiping blood off when she needs to scram ASAP?Spoiler: 609 pg 5That's silly. Why would Gin want to show respect to his hated enemy when he is ordering that the body be bombed right afterwards? Also the police are coming, Gin doesn't want Kir to stick around where the police might come across the compromising scene and arrest her. She only barely got away from the scene in time. The police came right when she pulled away.sstimson wrote: Also two more things. First Gin himself said "Clean up" He might have meant more then the Bomb, again respect for the now or soon to be Akai.
I have no idea what any of this means. Can you make your point clearer? Do remember this is a mystery series where someone drops dead roughly every three chapters.sstimson wrote: Second note where the bomb is set and remember the police report. Also remember that Gin is watching the whle time. Your changed events happened off screen while being seen by two people. Even if We do not know what happened off screen, they do. Anything Gin di not think 'normal' would have resulted it a bullet in her head. Also remember she shoot and killed her own father. You are not allowed to pick and choice, that since I like this character they must have faked their death. Gosho does kill characters for real. And we know he enjoys teasing his readers.With the bomb placed right by the head, then if he is only dying at the moment, then he will be dead when the bomb goes off.
Of course the police are going to think it was a murder, but why would the Crow Corps need to make Akai's death look like a suicide? With Gin's approval, Akai was shot in the lung and the forehead and then his truck was detonated with plastic explosives. The cops are going to find plastic explosive residue, and they will notice the body has been shot twice in the aforementioned locations even if it was burnt. The police are going to to assume a murder, not a suicide. That doesn't matter to the Org. though. The Org. knows that it is unlikely the police have any data on Akai Shuuichi, so Akai's burnt body will likely go unidentified with no clues as to who murdered him or why. The FBI aren't going to tell the police because they were in the country investigating illegally. The investigation will dead end, just like the B.O. wants.Chekhov MacGuffin wrote: Also think about this for a moment. How many cars just blow up parked. Notice no attempt to make this look like an accident. It will be clear to anyone investigating this that there was a bomb involved, and unless you are going to tell me that Kir picked up the shell casings, then there is also evidence of a shoot as well. It will be clear to most that this BO ' cleanup' effor is very poor in Bo standards.
Remember the BO do not know that Rena is a spy. They have to come up with some kind of trap that Akai would easily walk into, so they don't have the luxury of freely choosing a location where they can control everything because Akai would get suspicious and not show. Also, the cops appeared unexpectedly. Maybe Gin had a better cleanup idea in mind originally, but he really didn't have the option since he was pressed for time.
Because it is unnecessary overkill. A gunshot to the forehead means the recipient is dead afterwards. As Kir so vividly put it later, "You [Gin] saw it yourself, didn't you? After I shot him, blood was pouring out of the back of his head..." (702 pg 2) There is no way someone with a wound like that could live, and Gin knows it, hence he was unable to come up with a rebuttal to Kir's point. Also the police were heading Kir's way. Kir barely made it out of there just taking the time needed to set up the bomb. Even if Gin wanted to make doubly sure, taking the time to stab and/or poison Akai would mean the police would catch up to Kir before she would escape and arrest her. That would kind of defeat the purpose.sstimson wrote: And again if the are going to go to the trouble or both a gun and a bomb, which is overkill, why not do more to insure he is dead like a knife wound to the heart and poison?
I think the only thing I am guilty of making solid evidence-backed points.sstimson wrote: You are guilty of wish casting. Just wanting someone alive does not make it so. After all It would be far easer to fake the death of Akeri and you insist she is dead.
You should give up the Akemi-is-alive thing. She died in Shinichi's arms. If there is anyone in the series who knows how to check if a person is actually dead or not, it's Shinichi. There is no evidence of a trick, none. I looked very carefully. The only way a trick could be played is if Gin killed someone else disguised as her and the person that dies in Conan's arms was not actually Akemi in the first place.
By this logic, then Gosho did put in the manga that Akai is alive - scar Akai.sstimson wrote: All I am saying for now is you have this great conspiracy theory about Akai and refuse to allow another character who could have much easier faked her death to possible be alive. Also until Gosho puts it in his manga that Akai is alive, then the canon must be he is DEAD. All your sole call hints mean nothing until that happens.
Again from my earlier post: I believe Scar Akai to a person likely working for either the FBI and CIA to trap members of the BO. When I think about it, the BO really has no reason to try and trap the FBI unless they believe Akai is alive, and if they did then why is Kir not dead. This leads me to believe that by using a dead Agent and a thorn in the BO's side, they are trying to trap Bo agents who might try to kill the Bait. Unfortunely, this might get Kir killed. Also of note, is this will not work if the Bo knows Akai is dead, which might be a reason for certain suggestion otherwise (Akai being Alive). Those certain actions are there to create doubt so that the Bo agents will take the bait and enter the trap.Kor wrote:By this logic, then Gosho did put in the manga that Akai is alive - scar Akai.sstimson wrote: All I am saying for now is you have this great conspiracy theory about Akai and refuse to allow another character who could have much easier faked her death to possible be alive.

(for those who misunderstood, I don't claim that scar Akai is Akai)
This makes no sense. Also, it goes against the "logic" you presented earlier.sstimson wrote:Again from my earlier post: I believe Scar Akai to a person likely working for either the FBI and CIA to trap members of the BO.

Why trap Bo agents. Lets see. They almost killed several people, bombed a hospital, scare or blackmail people for starters.Kor wrote:This makes no sense.

Also, regarding you, thinking Akai isn't alive. Notice the (probably biggest) hint that Akai is still alive - Gin said that Bourbon doesn't believe Akai is really dead, and Gin also says that Bourbon hates Akai even more than he does.
Once such a statement was made in a work of fiction, the writer's true intentions are made clear. Akai is still alive, and Gosho plans for some sort of showdown between Akai and Bourbon (though to me it was clear before Gin made that statement).
WAIT! My bad. The biggest clue to why Akai is still alive is the sudden flashback/introduction for the romance between Jodie and Akai (which happened after Akai "died"). What's the point in suddenly mentioning something if Akai is dead? (I hope you're not gonna respond with "Gosho will pair Jodie with Camel")
We also gotta admit something else. Gosho's work is really cliched. Is it really beyond the reach of the imaginiation that he was going to do a "fake death" eventually.
Regarding your theory that Akemi is alive. It was the start of the series. Why to insert a "fake death" so soon? Also, there are no clues to point out her death was truly faked.
As much as I'd like to suddenly see Akemi back and Haibara runs to her and crying like a little girl while calling "Oneechan" over and over (it's Gosho, so we gotta keep it cheesy even in our imagination), I just don't see it happening. Akemi is more like a side character in the background of the organization, Akai, and Ai. Nothing more.
If this is true, then the FBI/CIA is knowingly putting their contact inside the BO at risk. Why would they do that? If any of the BO members get in their heads that Akai really is alive, then Kir would be killed pretty much instantly. It doesn't sense for them to try to draw out the BO that way, when they could still be getting inside information from Kir.sstimson wrote: Again from my earlier post: I believe Scar Akai to a person likely working for either the FBI and CIA to trap members of the BO.

Just my two cents on that.

Plus, it's just a generally risky, pretty-much-guaranteed-to-fail plan all around. The BO isn't gonna jump out of hiding the second they see Scar Akai to kill him. They're better at what they do than that.Kor wrote:It also puts many other innocent people at risk.PhoenixTears wrote:If this is true, then the FBI/CIA is knowingly putting their contact inside the BO at risk.
