Conan figured the two adults are not the biological parents from a few things. The most definite are Masao's cleft chin and widow's peak. Both are dominant traits and can't be inherited from two people lacking those physical features. Also the child's nose and his eyebrows look rather different from the fake parents'. Parents wouldn't carry a misbehaving child by their coat hood either because it puts pressure on the neck. (And the squirming kid might rip the clothes if their priorities are messed up.) The fake parents sealed the deal by claiming to be the biological parents if you interpret "and your slanted eyes come from father" as a claim of biological paternity. I assume one of the fake parents is Uemura, the prior tenant who left his job at the company suspected of tax evasion. The reason why the fake parents came back to the apartment likely had to do with the producer from Nichuri who visited two weeks ago. If the producer could get into the apartment without being accompanied by a landlord then Uemura should have still been living there two weeks ago. It was mentioned the suspect company was in the news so I assume the producer was there to interview Uemura, discuss something with him (i.e. wants a bribe to cover up Uemura's involvement), or was lured there by Uemura to be attacked. Uemura probably was the one who attacked the producer. The producer's visit matches the timing of the accident (also two weeks ago) and the severity (an attempt to silence him). The producer's return to consciousness yesterday is what prompted Uemura and an associate to force their way back to the apartment. Holding the new residents hostage without attempting to conceal their identities and allowing themselves to be seen with the kid by other tenants don't imply much planning and consideration, which makes sense if Uemura and friend were forced to cover something up last minute because the producer woke up the day before and might talk. It is possible that some evidence of the producer's visit was left behind which would make them suspects, either a physical object (one would hope the apartment would be well cleaned between tenants), or something not so easy to remove like fingerprints or bloodstains. There is the possibility they faked the traffic accident by attacking the producer in the room then staging his body at a road.

An article for the Okiya Subaru is Akai Shuuichi theory is now out in article space. You can see it here. http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Okiya_is_Akai_Theory Feel free to edit it or offer critique.

Since this seems like an appropriate venue, I am giving you all the heads up I am working on an article for a theory on how Akai faked his death. Right now it's sandboxed because it isn't up to wiki standards and is pretty rough, but feel free to edit it or offer critique. http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/User:Chekhov_MacGuffin/Akai_fake_death Edit: I forgot to mention there is also a Scar Akai article as well. http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Scar_Akai

Since this seems like an appropriate venue, I am giving you all the heads up I am working on an article for Scar Akai is Bourbon. Right now it's sandboxed because it isn't up to wiki standards and is pretty rough, but feel free to edit it or offer critique. http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/User:Chekhov_MacGuffin/Scar_Akai_Identity Edit: I forgot to mention there is also a Scar Akai article as well. http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Scar_Akai

The article is now out in the wild, so feel free to edit it. (I wouldn't have minded if someone edited while it was sandboxed) I hope people do edit it. I am going to be working on the Scar Akai is Bourbon article (wiki sandboxed here!) and the How Akai faked his death version (wiki sandboxed here!) as well, so if you have any ideas on top of what I have, feel free to add stuff. They are both extremely rough at the time of this posting, just copy pastes of the original text. Also please check out the Scar Akai page as well. There is still a lot of work to be done on that. It also isn't linked around to much, just the Akai page. Thanks for the compliment.

Yes, but although I am still listed as active, I have moved here. Sorry xcommando for being offtopic in your thread btw.

Hi xcom, I'm here too!

Hello, everyone. I have migrated here from DCTP where I was best known for very extensive theories about the plot of Detective Conan and attempts at solving the mystery of the week/month. I hope to add my knowledge to the DC Wiki. If anyone is interested in the theories I wrote, they can be viewed at DCTP in the links below. General theories about everything plot related How Akai faked his death Okiya Subaru is Akai Shuuichi Scar Akai is Bourbon Unfortunately, I will not be updating them or responding to questions there, so feel free to ask about them in this topic or on my wiki user talk page.

I have a sandboxed page of evidence Okiya is Akai and I am looking for suggestions on how to improve and bring it up to proper wiki style as well as get feedback on whether "argument pages" like this are appropriate for the article mainspace. http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/User:Chekhov_MacGuffin/Okiya_identity
