Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 1467 Akai Wuwu
"Shiho..."

Seeing Haibara Ai taking a half step back, Miyano Elena's expression froze, and her hands, not knowing where to put them, could only hang uncomfortably in the air.

After a few seconds, the corners of her mouth rose slightly and her hands naturally rested on the armrests of the swivel chair.

"It seems that you are not able to adapt to the environment here..."

"I guess your body must be tired after sitting on the plane for such a long time?"

"Rumi, take Shiho to where you live first."

After saying that, Miyano Elena turned back and continued to face the computer.

After seeing this scene, for some reason, Haibara Ai's mood became better.

"Come with me."

Wakasa Rumi supported Haibara Ai's back, turned around and left the laboratory.

After passing through a winding passage, Wakasa Rumi brought Haibara Ai to a room of about 40 square meters.

The room is warmly decorated with a soft Simmons bed, a separate bathroom, a children's treadmill, a complete set of audio-visual entertainment equipment, and an entire bookcase filled with professional books.

"This is a room specially prepared for you."

"If you get bored, there are movie tapes and books over there."

"If you want to eat something or need something, you can use the computer to ask for it at any time, and someone will arrange it for you..."

Wakasa Rumi pointed to a desktop computer on the desk.

Huihara Ai glanced at him, then looked up at Wakasa Rumi and asked, "Where is the letter my sister left for me in the time capsule? Did you take it?"

"Please give it back to me."

Haibara Ai's tone became unusually tough.

But Wakasa Rumi just looked at her expressionlessly. After a few seconds of silence, she replied calmly: "I don't know what you are talking about..."

"Just stay here. If you have nothing to do, it's best not to wander around."

After saying that, Wakasa Rumi turned and left, closing the door before leaving.

Haibara Ai looked at the closed door and clenched her hands into fists.

After waiting for a moment, she stood on tiptoe, quietly turned the doorknob, and opened the door.

I saw that the corridor outside was empty, without even a guard.

This may seem like a great trust, but in fact, there is a camera installed at regular intervals on the ceiling of the corridor.

As long as you leave this room, your every move will be under other people's eyes.

This familiar feeling is like going back to the time when I was organizing the laboratory.

Haibara Ai closed the door gently and turned around to look at the situation in the room.

It is similar to the organization's laboratory here. There are sufficient supplies, but the only thing missing is "freedom".

Huihara Ai looked around, walked to the chair and turned on the computer.

The computer is installed with a software specifically for calling shipboard service personnel, as well as some simple computer games, such as Minesweeper and Spider Solitaire.

But this computer itself is a local area network, and all external network connections are prohibited, not even sending emails.

This way, there is no way to contact the doctor and the others...

In fact, Haibara Ai chose to go with Wakasa Rumi because she wanted to confirm whether her mother was really still alive.

On the other hand, I want to find out what the purpose of the organization is.

Now she has accomplished her first goal.

Elena Miyano is indeed still alive.

But this Elena Miyano made her feel strange and even a little scared.

On the night when she learned from Curacao that Elena Miyano was still alive, Haibara Ai returned home and listened to all the tapes left by Elena Miyano.

Before, she had only heard the recordings of herself when she was 18, 19 and 20 years old, and wanted to keep them to listen to when she reached the corresponding age.

But now, she was eager to find out what was going on.

It turns out that the 19-year-old tape tells the story of Atsushi Miyano studying abroad at the University of Michigan, during which he met a senior named "Herbert West".

This senior named "Herbert West" was conducting research on a "resurrection drug", but his research was banned because his secret was exposed.

Miyano Atsushi inherited the relevant research and was therefore exiled from the scientific community.

The 20-year-old tape tells the story of the Miyano couple who accepted the invitation of the men in black and became scientists of the organization after the bankruptcy of Baijiu Pharmaceutical.

But gradually, they discovered that the purpose of the organization was not to research drugs to bring the dead back to life, but a new drug that goes against the future of mankind.

The two became increasingly frightened and tried to leave the organization, but failed.

In the end, the two chose to take the research materials and die calmly with the help of an undercover agent from Baijiu Pharmaceutical.

This is the information that Haibara Ai heard from the tape.

But judging from the current situation, this does not seem to be the case.

Now thinking back on the contents of the tape, Huihara Ai couldn't help but think of a part that confused her.

Logically speaking, when the recording was made, the Miyano couple's plan to commit suicide had not yet been exposed, and both of them were in a position to leave their voices behind.

Why is there only Elena Miyano's voice in the tape, but not Atsushi Miyano's?
This question made Haibara Ai feel a chill in her body.

……

A store on the Big Island of Hawaii.

"It's Asaka..."

"She attacked me from behind..."

Akai Wuwu sat at one side of the round table, his hands on the table, his eyes filled with memories and thoughts.

"Asaka sneak attacked you?"

Qin Zhibo frowned and asked, "Are you sure she attacked you?"

According to Luc Villiers of the Nine Angels, Rachel Asaka is Amanda's adopted daughter.

"Ah."

Akai Tsutomu nodded heavily, "At the beginning, I also felt it was incredible..."

"But the only person who could pose a threat to me at that time was her standing behind me."

"…Although I was injured by her sneak attack, I still managed to escape from the ship despite the injury."

"I had planned to leave the United States first, but the organization had already set up a dragnet on all the ways to leave the United States."

"So I sent a text message to Mary in the UK, asking them to seek refuge in Japan first."

"As for the reason for seeking refuge in Japan, on the one hand, it was because I had told Asaka my true identity, and I was worried that Mari and the children would be held hostage."

"On the other hand, although Japan may be Karasuma Renya's base, it is also the safest place in some ways."

"By the way, have you seen Mary in Japan in these years?"

Akai Tsutomu paused and turned the topic to his family. Qin Zhibo nodded, "Yes, she is fine now. Shuichi and Hideyoshi are also here."

"Congratulations on having a daughter. Her name is Sera Masumi."

"Sera... Majun..."

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Akai Wuwu's mouth, "I remember when I left home, the child was not born yet..."

Akai Wuwu sighed and then continued his story.

"In order to prevent the hard-earned evidence from falling into the hands of the enemy, I put the photos I took on the ship in a bank safe for future use."

"After that, I knew I couldn't leave the United States in the short term, so I contacted you who was still at Miskatonic University..."

"However, on the way to Arkham, my whereabouts were discovered by the organization."

"They knocked my car over and tried to kill me by shooting at its petrol tank."

"But just before the car exploded, I jumped into the water and survived..."

"But my memory has been lost ever since."

After listening to Akai Tsutomu's story, Qin Zhibo's timeline in his mind about the whole case of Haneda Hiroshi 17 years ago was further completed.

More than 100 years ago, Karasuma Renya killed his father and inherited his father's position among the Nine Angels.

Several years later, Karasuma Renya killed many of the high-ranking members of the Nine Angels and obtained the pass to safely enter the Abyss Enkai - the Paneste Disc.

At that time, Amanda Hughes, the heir of the Hughes family among the nine angels, vowed to avenge her father.

After decades of investigation, which cost the lives of several FBI agents, Amanda has pinpointed Karasuma Renye and the Japanese Karasuma Group, and is preparing to join forces with the former Prime Minister of Japan.

17 years ago, the former Japanese Prime Minister sent public security police officer Heibei Kuroda to meet with Amanda under the guise that Hiroshi Haneda was going to the United States to participate in a chess competition.

But the plan was somehow exposed, and the organization sent its second-in-command, Rum, to deal with Amanda.

Rum first killed Amanda, then killed Hiroshi Haneda, and had a brief contact with Heibei Kuroda who came to rescue them.

Just when Kuroda Bei was about to take Asaka away for protection, he was caught up by Rum who reacted and knocked over the car, causing Kuroda Bei to be unconscious in Arkham Asylum for a long time.

Upon learning of his son's death, Yasuharu Haneda commissions Tsutomu Akai to find out the truth behind the Haneda Hiroshi case.

After arriving in the United States, Akai Tsutomu found Asaka at Amanda's funeral, and from the photos she took of the scene, he analyzed that Haneda Hiroshi's pre-death message pointed to "Karasuma Renya".

Later, Akai Tsutomu investigates a ship belonging to the Karasuma Group in New York Harbor and discovers a secret laboratory inside the ship.

However, Asaka also sneaked into the ship without Akai Tsutomu's knowledge and was discovered by the ship's security.

Akai Tsutomu intended to rescue Asaka, but was ambushed by her instead and ended up escaping alone.

Since his identity information had been exposed, he was unable to leave the United States. He could only store the photos he took as evidence in a bank safe and then contact the original owner of the body, who was still studying at the University of Michigan at the time.

However, on the way to Arkham, the organization tracked down Akai Tsutomu and caused him to lose his memory.

The original owner of the body probably received the news in advance and went to pick up the suspect, so that he could bring back the amnesiac Akai Tsutomu.

In order to avoid being hunted down by the organization's killers, the original owner of the body arranged for Akai Tsutomu to return to his hometown in Hawaii.

It was not until recently that Akai Wuwu regained his memory and recalled this experience.

After sorting out the entire timeline in his mind, Qin Zhibo looked into Akai Wuwu's eyes and said solemnly.

"Actually, I think I might know what the ship you investigated is..."

……

Half an hour later, Qin Zhibo gave a rough account of the progress of his current investigation.

When he heard that Qin Zhibo was inadvertently involved in a confrontation with the organization in Japan, Akai Wuwu was shocked.

Because four years ago, when Vince Qin said he was leaving the United States, he just said that there was something he had been concerned about and he wanted to go to Japan to investigate.

The two parties agreed to send the latest postcards of Hawaii to Japan once every quarter. If there is anything that needs to be conveyed, just write it on the postcard.

"You mean to say that the ship I investigated back then might now be hiding the organization's greatest secret?"

Akai Tsutomu's eyes flashed with memories again, and he murmured, "At that time, apart from discovering some laboratory facilities on the ship, I didn't seem to see the 'giant octopus' you mentioned."

"Could it be that the ship from 17 years ago has not yet had the use you describe?"

Qin Zhibo did not have time to introduce Cthulhu and Csira in detail, so he could only use a "giant octopus" as a substitute.

"Well, it's possible."

Qin Zhibo did not deny it, because the result of Heiyu Daoyi's investigation in Innsmouth was that Ksira, who lived in the Devil's Reef, disappeared about ten years ago.

Perhaps the organization had not captured Ksira 17 years ago, and therefore had not increased the secrecy level of the ship.

This allowed Akai Wuwu to find some clues.

However, the photos that Akai Tsutomu took on the boat that year were of great use at this moment.

Because at a previous meeting in Boston, Yusaku Kudo said that the International Police Organization was preparing a plan called "Pacific Buoy".

The plan will connect to the world's surveillance network, and then use the latest developed cross-age facial recognition system to search where the people on the ship have appeared in the world.

Then, through the locations of these people and the direction of ocean currents, we can infer the ship's route around the world.

Originally, there were not many samples that were identified using this method, including Curacao, Elena Miyano, and Miichiro Numabuchi.

But now with the photos taken by Akai Tsutomu 17 years ago, the probability of identification is much higher.

Although 17 years have passed now, people's faces have changed to some extent.

But the cross-age recognition system can simulate and calculate the appearance after bone growth, which is perfect for this situation!

Qin Zhibo told this to Akai Wuwu, causing the latter to sigh.

"Has the technology now developed to this level?"

"In that case, we'd better get to that bank in New York as soon as possible."

"Hopefully it's still there..."

……

The next day, Qin Zhibo and Akai Wuwu set off from Kona Airport on the Big Island of Hawaii and headed for New York in the eastern United States.

Although the identity of "Akai Mumu" has disappeared for 17 years, Qin Zhibo contacted Kudo Yusaku and asked him to help arrange a special channel because he was worried that the organization was still tracking him.

After arriving in New York, the two immediately went to the bank where Akai Tsutomu had stored the photos.

After submitting my identity information to the bank manager, the manager searched on the computer for a while and finally gave me a reply.

"Hello sir, the safe deposit box you opened at our bank has expired."

"But there is a 50-year buffer period in your lease. Even if it expires, as long as you pay the fees within 50 years, you can still take the things inside. What do you think..."

Before the bank manager finished speaking, Qin Zhibo immediately gave his answer.

"Let's hand it over!"

"Okay sir..." the bank manager turned his head and looked at the computer screen, then said.

"The system here calculates that the total amount you owe is $11470.4."

"Would you like cash or card?"
