Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 1332 DNA Tracking
"Well……"

"Where is...where?"

Bai Ma Tanwei, who had just woken up, opened his eyes and asked weakly.

Masumi Sera wiped her tears and answered, "It's St. Thomas' Hospital in London."

"Oh……"

Bai Batan's eyes relaxed slightly, then he looked at Shiliang who was in tears and asked again: "Then why are you crying?"

"Because you almost died!"

Shira roared at Hakubatan, releasing all the pressure that had been building up in his heart.

During this day and more, she prayed in her heart all the time that Bai Ma Tan would survive.

Because Bai Ma Tan was shot while trying to save me, if he died, it would be as if I had killed him with my own hands.

This feeling is so heavy that I feel suffocated just carrying it for a day.

"But I'm fine, right?"

A bleak smile appeared on Bai Matan's pale face. "It seems that I am lucky, ahem..."

Since Bai Matan had undergone surgery on his chest, he is still not able to speak fluently.

Seeing this, Sera Masumi quickly comforted him, "You just woke up, don't talk so much!"

Bai Ma Tan smiled slightly and did not answer. Instead, he turned his eyes and saw Qin Zhibo standing not far away.

When he saw Qin Zhibo for the first time, his eyes were a little surprised.

This is Britain. How did he get the news?
Qin Zhibo also guessed what Bai Matan was thinking from his eyes at this time, stepped forward and took the initiative to introduce himself.

"I was in London before your accident..."

"I heard that you are investigating the matter of Twilight Annex?"

As one of the eyewitnesses of the Twilight Villa incident, Qin Zhibo has every right to ask questions about this matter.

Just as Bai Ma Tan was about to answer, Qin Zhibo said, "It's not convenient for you to speak now, just nod or shake your head..."

Hearing this, Bai Ma Tan nodded slightly.

"Have you found any clues?"

"Is it about the owner of the Twilight Villa?"

Bai Matan nodded again and said, "The clue is in my coat..."

When Sera heard this, although he didn't know what the two were talking about, he still walked to the locker in the corner of the room and took out the Hakubatan jacket that was inside.

On the back of the coat, there was a circle of bloodstains that had turned black.

Qin Zhibo rummaged through the inside pocket of his coat and felt two pieces of paper.

When I took them out, I found they were an old photo and a piece of letter paper.

The old photo is a picture of a handsome mixed-race man and an oriental woman. Judging from their ages in the photo, they should be mother and son.

On the back of the photo, it says: Son Spencer Lane and mother Shiliang, photographed on July 1870, 7.

Spencer Lane?
Sera?

Mother and son?

For a moment, a huge amount of information exploded in Qin Zhibo's mind.

Spencer Renye should be the original name of Karasuma Renye.

Spencer...is that the surname of that British nobleman?

And Karasuma Renya's mother's surname is actually Sera?

Is it the "Sera" from Masumi Sera and Mary Akai?

Qin Zhibo knew that before Akai Mary married Akai Wuwu, her family name was Sera.

Masumi Sera inherited Akai Mary's original surname.

At the same time, Masumi Sera and Mary Akai, who were standing nearby, also saw a line of small words on the photo.

When Mary saw the last name "Sera", her pupils dilated slightly and her eyes looked a little incredulous.

Masumi Sera's attention was not immediately focused on the "Sera" at the end, but on the surname "Spencer".

As a half-Londoner who has been in the UK for three years, she is well aware of the importance of this surname in the UK.

"This Spencer... could he be the famous nobleman?" Sera Masumi murmured.

Bai Ma Tan nodded slightly, "It should be. I saw the Spencer family emblem in the manor..."

After hearing Bai Matan's words, Qin Zhibo, who was staring at the old photo, changed his eyes slightly.

He had long known that Karasuma Renye came from a British aristocratic family, but he didn't know which one.

In comparison, this "Sera" is a bit weirder...

Qin Zhibo handed the old photo to Mary, then took the letter in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Compared to old photos, most of this letter paper is blurred by stains caused by moisture, and only a few words can provide information.

Dear Mr. Xia Gai:
...settled in Japan...

...moving the temple to Japan...

……

After a little thought, Qin Zhibo figured out the meaning of the letter.

The temple should be referring to the Dusk Villa.

Mr. Xia Gai is a member of the Xia Gai Zerg who has reached a cooperation with Karasuma Renya.

Qin Zhibo had read in the diary in the basement of Dusk Villa that the Xiagai Zerg, which had just landed on Earth, were always disturbed by humans and did not have a habitat of their own.

It was Renya Karasuma who found the Xiagai insect tribe and promised them a habitat where they would not be disturbed by humans, on the condition that Renya Karasuma's father be killed.

After his father's death, Karasuma Renye inherited a fief and gave it to the Xiagai insect tribe.

Later, Karasuma Renya built the Dusk Villa for the Xiagai insect tribe to hide their tracks.

This letter should be the letter written by Karasuma Renya to the Xiagai Zerg, asking the Xiagai Zerg to move the Dusk Annex (Temple) to Japan.

Although the specific time of migration is not written on the letter, it is speculated that it was during the Meiji Restoration.

At that time, Japan was learning a lot of advanced Western ideas, and as a British aristocrat, Karasuma Renya was easily accepted.

The name Karasuma Renya probably only came into existence during that period...

In the ward, Qin Zhibo was holding a piece of letter paper and Mary was holding a photo, both of them seemed to be thinking about something.

Just then, the phone suddenly rang in the ward.

Everyone looked down at their phones at the same time, and after a look around they realized that the phone that was ringing was the one in Bai Matan's coat.

Qin Zhibo took out Bai Matan’s cell phone from his pocket and held it in front of Bai Matan.

The latter took a look at the incoming call number and said, "It's a call from the research institute. Please answer it for me..."

Qin Zhibo pressed the answer and speaker buttons and placed the phone where everyone could hear it.

The caller turned out to be a researcher from the Hakuba Research Institute, who had been ordered by Hakuba Detective to investigate the British aristocrats who had traveled across the ocean to Japan during the Meiji Restoration.

After explaining my identity and the situation here to the person on the other end of the phone, the researcher on the other end gave a serious introduction.

"At that time, in order to learn advanced Western experience, Emperor Meiji made friends with a large number of Westerners, most of whom were aristocrats and capitalists..."

Qin Zhibo skipped the lengthy opening remarks and asked directly: "Is there anyone from the British Spencer family here?"

"Hmm..." The researcher groaned, "Yes."

"What's your name?" Qin Zhibo asked quickly.

"It's called... no name." "No name?"

"Yes."

The researcher responded, "According to the Meiji Clan Records, this person from the Spencer family in England quickly took root in Japan after arriving there and established a new family."

"This new family is named after the Japanese surname, 'Kuroba', which means the black feathers that protect the crow's body."

"However, the patriarch of this family is not named 'Kuroyu', but 'Karasuma', which refers to the noble crow..."

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo and Bai Matan's pupils trembled, and the shock in their eyes was not concealed at all.

As people who knew the surnames of both Karasuma Renya and Kuroba, they both knew what this meant.

Hakuba figured out why he had investigated the Karasuma family before but could not find any clues.

It’s because I got the direction of the investigation wrong!
Karasuma does not represent a family at all, but is the patriarch of a family!

And the surname Heiyu, could it be that Heiyu?
The figure of that person couldn't help but appear in Bai Ma Tan's mind.

At this time, Qin Zhibo realized that things were beginning to go wrong and asked again, "What happened next? How did this family become?"

The researcher continued, "Later, this family grew stronger and stronger. Based on 'Kuroyu', their descendants also extended their surnames to 'Kuroiwa', 'Kurosaka', 'Kurosawa', etc."

Kurosawa?

Qin Zhibo suddenly remembered that Gin's real name was Kurosawa Jin.

That is to say, these situations are likely to be true...

Is it true that the origin of Kuroba's surname is Karasuma Ren?
No, it could just be a coincidence.

After all, Kuroba is not a very uncommon surname in Japan, and it certainly does not all originate from this.

Qin Zhibo could only convince himself in this way in his heart.

But the more you convince yourself of this, the easier it is to form a psychological suggestion in your mind, and you have to care about it.

If the surname Kuroba comes from Karasuma Renya, then Kuroba Toichi, Kuroba Kaito...

Even Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Shinichi are descendants of Kuroba, but they changed their surnames later.

And it's not just Kuroba, even Sera is...

Damn it!
Is there any way to confirm whether this is true?
Suddenly, Qin Zhibo had an idea and thought of a solution.

He quickly asked Mary, who was also thinking blankly, "Where is Noah's Ark?"

"Noah's Ark..." Mary responded, "I put it in the car."

"Bring it here right now, I need it urgently!"

Seeing Qin Zhibo's serious expression, Mary did not dare to delay and quickly walked out of the ward.

After a while, she brought back both the computer and the USB drive.

Qin Zhibo turned on the computer, and an artificial intelligence AI with the image of Hiroki Sawada popped up on the computer desktop.

"Hiroki, you remember that you once developed a DNA tracking system, right?"

Hiroki Sawada nodded, "Yes."

“Can you still use that system now?”

The current Sawada Hiroki is the result of code lightweighting, and many unnecessary functions have been deleted.

However, after thinking for a second, Sawada Hiroki still nodded, "Not bad..."

Qin Zhibo: "How to use it?"

Hiroki Sawada: "As long as you send the DNA data to me, I can do DNA tracing. Even if it spans hundreds of years, I can still trace the target's ancestors."

“Conversely, the DNA of descendants can also be inferred from the blood of ancestors.”

Hiroki Sawada's words shocked Mari and Masumi Sera who were standing by.

After spending a few days together, the mother and daughter have felt that this AI's ability in data analysis is at least a thousand times stronger than that of humans.

But they didn't expect that AI could actually track human DNA.

However, Hiroki Sawada is not bragging.

During his lifetime, he developed a DNA tracking system. By chance, he obtained a blood sample of Jack the Ripper and traced Jack's descendant to his adoptive father Schindler, which led to his death.

"There's no need to go through the trouble of tracing ancestors. I just need to compare the DNA of two people..."

……

Half an hour later, Qin Zhibo appeared in the private hospital where Conan had stayed.

After explaining the situation to the doctor that Yusaku Kudo knew, Qin Zhibo successfully obtained Conan's blood sample.

In order to develop the antidote as soon as possible, Kudo Yusaku asked the doctor to take some blood samples while Conan was injured.

After obtaining the blood sample, Qin Zhibo returned to St. Thomas' Hospital.

And Mary here also had her blood drawn.

Under the arrangement of the hospital doctor, blood samples of the two were sent for DNA testing.

After receiving the DNA test report, Qin Zhibo first analyzed it with his naked eyes.

Judging from the paper test report, the identities of the two people have no connection and there is no possibility of any family relationship.

Mary, who was standing by, also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the contents of the report.

She had just learned from Qin Zhibo the reason for conducting this test.

Assuming that the mother of the Black Organization's boss, Karasuma Renya, is Sera, and her descendant is Kuroba, then the descendants of the two must be related in DNA.

Now, the paper report issued by the hospital has denied this possibility.

Next, let’s look at the so-called “DNA tracking system”.

When Qin Zhibo "fed" the data from the two DNA reports to Noah's Ark, the little man of Hiroki Sawada on the desk entered a state of thinking with his eyes closed.

Qin Zhibo and Mary also sat in front of the computer, waiting with serious expressions.

At this moment, time was infinitely stretched in the hearts of both of them.

They are like candidates waiting for the release of their college entrance examination scores, staring at the screen motionlessly.

Especially Qin Zhibo, he didn't even dare to think about what this would mean if it was true.

Karasuma Renya is the common ancestor of Sera and Kuroba...

Although Qin Zhibo doesn't quite believe that Conan or Mary and others are "evil", it would be very scary if this was part of Karasuma Renya's plan from the beginning.

With Karasuma Renya's ability, maybe he has some ability to control blood...

For example, Mary's sister, Elena, is now a member of the organization.

Could this be because...

Qin Zhibo didn't dare to think about it any further.

All the answers can only be revealed by Hiroki Sawada.

……

This wait was extremely long both in terms of mental torment and actual duration.

After waiting for 15 minutes, until the computer keyboard began to feel hot, Hiroki Sawada slowly opened his eyes.

"The results are out..."

"According to the results of the DNA tracking system, the probability that these two blood samples have a common ancestor is..."

"84.7%."

"That is, they are most likely from the same ancestor."
