Aoyama’s Letter:

どーも、青山です！

Hello, Aoyama here!

まさか出るとはBLACK＋（プラス）！（笑）

Who’d said that this BLACK+ would come out! (laughs)

黒ずくめの組織の本という事で色々語りたいんだけど

It’s a book about the black organization so there’s lots I want to tell but

バラしちゃいけない事だらけであんまり語れないなぁ...（笑）

There’s also a ton of things I can’t spoil so I can’t tell much… (laughs)

とりあえず名前の話を...コードネームをお酒の名前にしようと決めて、一番最初に名前が付いたのはなんとビックリウオッカ！！（笑）

Let’s start talking about names… When I decided to make the codenames into alcohol names, the first (character) that got named was… Whoa! What a surprise! It was Vodka!! (laughs)

作画中に「こいつ「ウオッカ」って感じだよなぁ...」とオレがつぶやいたら横にいたアシの山㟁君が「じゃあ、このノッポは「ジン」にしない？」と言うので「んじゃそれで！」と、ジンの名前が決まり...

While drawing, I muttered “This guy has a “Vodka” feeling to him”, and so my assistant who was next to me, Yamakishi-kun said “How about you name the tall and thin guy “Gin”, then?” and I was “OK! That’ll do it!”... That’s how Gin’s name was decided…

しばらく後に出て来た黒ずくめの女のコードネームを「ベルモットにしようよ！」とアシの谷君が言うので、「んじゃそれで！」と...実にいい加減に決められていたのだった（笑）

About the codename the woman in black that appeared some time later, my assistant Tani-kun said “Let’s name her Vermouth” and I was “OK! That’ll do it!”... The names were decided in a rather stupid way, indeed (laughs)

「黒ずくめ」といえば「漆黒の追跡者」の試写を観た後、ファンの親子連れとエレベーターで一緒になったのだけど、

Speaking of “black”... After seeing the screening of “The Raven Chaser”, I ended up together in an elevator with a mother and child who were fans (of Conan)

その少年が突然「ボク、大人になったら黒ずくめの組織に入る！！」と
お母さんに宣言していて。「おい、おい、おい...」と思い、

That boy suddenly announced to his mom that “I’ll join the black organization when I become an adult” and here I thought “hey, hey, hey…!”

「コナンの味方にも強くてカッコイイ人は、いっぱいいるんだよ」って事で「赤井秀一」を華麗に復活させ、「安室透」を公安として（登場時は悪者の予定だったけど（笑））組織に潜入させたので、

So I (told him) that “A lot of Conan’s allies are also strong and cool types”, then went and beautifully revived “Akai Shuuichi” and made “Amuro Tooru” infiltrate into the org as a PSB (agent). (When he appeared (in the story) I had planned to make of him a villain though (laughs))



現在、この２人は活躍しているのは、エレベーターのあの少年のお陰なのかもしれない...（笑）

This duo being so active nowadays might be thanks to that boy (I met) in the elevator… (laughs)

Q16: “The codenames of the Black Organization are alcohol names, but does “That Person” give them (to the members) by thinking about the impression they give off? For example, Gin. He gives off that impression to “That Person” hence why (he’s named) Gin… Something like that?”

A: “I wonder about that.”

Q17: “Tequila, Pisco, Calvados… After they died, do others inherit their codenames? Like a retired (uniform) number, is the (codename) affixed to them as something that belongs (to the owner of the codename)?

Q18: “If children prove to have potential, they can get a codename too?”

But Karasuma, the organization boss, has already had a “mysterious death”. Going from this… Karasuma’s flesh has been destroyed, but his brain alone is still alive. Or maybe you can hypothesize that he’s an AI?”

A: “Wow. You sure thought it out. It’s not the case, though (laughs)”

Q27: “Karasuma Renya, Suzuki Plutocrats, Ooka Family… Which of them is richer?”

Snippets / speculation from other sections:

Spoiler:

Page 66:

How are APTX4869 and the software related?

The identity of the mysterious woman was Vermouth. Yukiko deduces that Vermouth asking Itakura, with whom she doesn't get along, to develop the software is secretedly related to APTX4869

Itakura was also involved in movie VFX apart from games, so many actresses knew him

Page 101:

What do these mysterious actions mean!?

Itakura’s diary reported that “a cat’s cry grew louder behind the woman that called me, the woman got slightly nervous and cut the call”.

It’s hard to think that the woman (Vermouth) cut the call just because a cat was coming closer. But what if “someone holding a cat” had done so? And if that “someone” was Karasuma, then...

Page 129:

"The secret meeting with the Kudou couple will affect the relationship with RUM?"

"Bourbon, who'd infiltrated the Kudou Mansion, has his first meeting with the Kudou couple. What if Yuusaku had asked of (Bourbon) to not to leak information about his son...? If Bourbon hides the information he has to give to RUM, their relationship might be affected (as a result), even."

Stroking the cat like Blofeld, huh?

Q92: “Is RUM certainly amongst the trio of Kuroda, Wakasa and Wakita?”

A: “It is, indeed!”

Welp, there goes Chikara = Rum and Muga = Rum theories (and any other 4th suspect theories).

With this emphatic, not-so-ambiguous-at-all, answer from Gosho, it is quite clear that Kanenori Wakita is Rum—I already thought he'd have to be Rum if there were only 3 suspects, not 4... and now Gosho seems to have confirmed that, looks like "Time is money..." was right on the money.
