Spoiler:

But Rumi's introduction seemed to be set in a plot-related scene (incoming of new students in the class that year) and usually a charachter presented that way isn't a one episode character. I agree with the Eisuke theory.

Translation of text spoilers:

Spoiler:

File 968: Wakasa - sensei's secret

Haibara notices someone's presence behind them and she spins around to check the rear but there's no-one...

She wonders aloud if it was her imagination but Conan replies that there actually might be someone there: it's very possible that the thieves from 10 years ago have come to look for something.

Conan redoes the deciphering table and rearranges the order of characters using the song "irowa" as basis: the decoded message reads

"Got your shares ready. Come ASAP!"

The skeleton was the thieves' boss and surely intended to give out the shares of the money they got by turning the gold into currency: he checks inside of the line drawers and finds a bundle of bank notes there. He intends not to report this ASAP but to lure the robbers and catch in a swoop.

The group comes outside: it's dusk. They then say aloud that they didn't find the quicklime, there only was a brand-new string with some text on it: they couldn't read what it said so they threw it: the DBs and Rumi leave while dumping the string there.

3 suspicious men pick it up.

Night falls.

Conan alone is on the lookout behind the warehouse... or is supposed to be but, actually, the DBs, Rumi and Shiratori are with him and they're quite a group.

The string is something Conan readied, a trap's bait which the thieves bite: Shiratori is trying to find a good moment to come out and arrest them yet when he gets a closer look he sees there's only 2 men.

One of them feared a trap and stayed outside and thus knocks Shiratori out by hitting him from behind: the 3 thieves retreive the money and try to lock Conan and the group on the basement. Conan is saving up his gadgets as trump card and pretends to obey. But when Rumi steps into the stairs to the basement...

... She pretends that she's clumsily lost her footing and beats one of the robbers next to her: she picks up a stick with beads and turns into a strong-looking fighting pose atop the shut down basement hatch.

Rumi: "Are you ready? ... Ready to... depart this world?"

She looks like she'd been the type who loves brawls and is now bringing that aspect out: she beats up the other 2 robbers as well.

Conan, noticing things were quiet up there, carefully opens the hatch and sees Rumi who's (pretending to be) panicked and she's swinging the stick around: she's (is pretending that she's) not paying attention so she hasn't noticed she's beat up the 3 thieves.

The next day... Kobayashi, who didn't get called (at the police questioning, presumably) is more annoyed at being unable to meet Shiratori than being the only one left out the affair on the premises of it being dangerous.

Side-note: "This teacher is not a commoner! A new chapter will begin in the next double issue! To be continued in SS #37-38. There'll be a break next week for the author to gather materials."

For the sake of new-ish people who don't know the drill yet, this is basically the schedule for the upcoming files:

[Spimer]

Thanks for the table, Kor. Even veterans like me sometimes lose count of the breaks from time to time.

[k11chi]

Spoiler:

Really now...
I have to wonder about that "strong looking fighting pose", what style it may belong to.

[ATEM]

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

at first she reminded me of Eisuke too but why would he disguise as a female , and if she is Eisuke then goshou is totally irrespecting the series timeline how would someone like eisuke be a cia agent in a month or two , also from the latest spoilers she isn't clumsy she is just acting and that makes her dangerous like what was she after when she hit herself the few times before !!! I think she is really after haibara or conan ...

[Spimer]

@ATEM:
Let's wait for the actual file before jumping to conclusions, maybe there's something the text spoilers haven't mentioned.

[k11chi]

So my guesses are

Spoiler:

1. New plotline
2. After Haibara&Conan
3. A person from some other agency other than FBI who has seen what Conan can do and has taken interest in it
4. May go with #3 but it's pretty much a known plot point by now that Conan is the "Kid killer" and his face has been on the news.

It's possible it's just an individual plot similar to Taii the calico cat if Gosho is trying something out. We just got the new Heiji's side chick appearance also. The type of case she was in may hint at something, it's kind of treasure chasing, mysterious history, robbers, gold treasure themed.

[estuputri]

Spoiler:

So, there will be another new character?
Whoaa..
I really curious why she have to act to be clumsy.
Is she come to school for the treasure or to meet conan?

[Swagnarok]

I think it's a bit of a leap to assume that any clumsy character must be Eisuke in disguise. Yumi has largely the same personality as Sonoko; that obviously doesn't mean that they're the same person. Ran and Aoko are almost identical yet they're somehow two unrelated characters.

[Kor]

Thoughts for now:

First the crack theory
Rum is Rumi because it was stated Rum has an artificial i (eye)

But more seriously:

Spoiler:

Rumi seems like Jodie 2.0 so far. Back in the bus Jodie pretended to be a bit clumsy and fooled the hijackers, plus... the teacher thing.
What makes sense to me at this point (given all the information we possess) is that Rumi is an intended Rum suspect and someone's gonna point out eventually how her name aligns with Asaka and Rum, but that'd just be a red herring aaaaaaand Rumi's probably from some intelligence agency too. Which one? Currently the NPA makes the most sense to me - they have some inkling about Conan already and it shouldn't be a problem for them to slip some new "teacher" in Conan's school so she can keep an eye on him or investigate him for whatever reason.

[estuputri]

Spoiler:

Well, when I know she pretend to be clumsy, I agree that she is an intelligent. But we still don't know is she a friend or an enemy. Let's wait then...

[AMY 99]

idont know why but i feel she is related to kohji (i mean maybe she is one of kohji's relatives ) because she looks very similar to him and maybe she was the one who was reloading the info about kohji's death on the website
