Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 282 Results of the Investigation

After hearing Makino's name from Hiroki Sawada, Conan couldn't help but be stunned.

Before, he was immersed in the pleasure of completing the game, and almost forgot that Makino might still be "alive".

Hiroki Sawada smiled and spread his hands, saying, "Although I have tried my best to delay, he still finished before you, Kudo Shinichi."

Conan: "!!!"

Conan looked at Hiroki Sawada in front of him in astonishment, his pupils trembling slightly.

Although he knew that the other party was an advanced artificial intelligence, he did not expect that the other party even knew his true identity.

"Wait! Speaking of which... could the entire conversation just now have been heard by someone outside? ! "

Thinking of this, he immediately turned his head and looked around with an extremely panicked expression.

After realizing Conan's thoughts, Sawada Hiroki shook his head with a relaxed look and said, "Don't worry, only the three of us can hear it, no one outside can hear it."

Conan breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the non-existent sweat from his face. "Huh~ That's good... Wait?! The three of us?"

Hiroki Sawada did not answer the question directly, but looked behind Conan with a smile.

Seeing this, Conan quickly turned his head and looked behind him following Hiroki Sawada's gaze.

In an instant, a familiar smiling face appeared in Conan's sight: "Officer Makino?! When did you stand here? Really, don't scare me..."

Although he was startled by Makino behind him, he completely relaxed.

After catching Conan's emotions, Sawada Hiroki looked at Conan in confusion: "It seems that you also have some hidden secrets, Conan-san."

Conan turned to look at Sawada Hiroki and shook his head helplessly: "Let's not talk about my business for now, what are you going to do next?"

Hearing this, Sawada Hiroki bowed earnestly to Makino and Conan in front of him: "I'm very sorry! Although it was not my intention to hurt those children, my actions still brought them painful and horrible memories, there is no doubt about that."

Having said that, Sawada Hiroki casually pointed to the door beside him, and the door immediately emitted a dazzling light: "Okay, congratulations on passing the level. I will fulfill my previous promise and let everyone return to the real world safely."

Conan frowned and said, "Wait... Hiroki Sawada, that's not what I want to ask. What are you going to do next..."

Hiroki Sawada interrupted, "I understand what you mean, but if computers like me continue to exist, they will only be used by adults to do bad things. To be honest, things like artificial intelligence should not exist at all, but..."

Having said that, Hiroki Sawada glanced at Makino behind Conan, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes.

Makino also smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything.

Without waiting for Conan to continue asking, Sawada Hiroki nodded to the two of them and waved, saying, "Goodbye, Conan. If possible, I hope you can tell those children one thing when you return to that world... Real life is not as simple as games."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire space was shrouded in a strong white light. Conan and Makino were both wrapped in the white light and sent into the door that had just lit up.

At the same time, the real world.

Inside the exhibition hall, countless people looked at the only two "cocoons" left on the stage, their eyes filled with mixed feelings of expectation and fear.

Many parents even raised their hands in the presence and prayed in their hearts.

They didn't know what was happening inside the game. They only knew that as time passed, only two game cockpits were left that had not yet been retracted underground.

——“Click! Buzz…”

Amid everyone's surprised gaze, a loud and uniform noise suddenly came from the front desk, and countless "cocoons" rose from the ground and reappeared in everyone's sight.

After all the cocoons appeared, the lights in the exhibition hall came on again.

The next moment, the doors of the cocoon opened one by one. The children who had regained consciousness reached out to take off the devices on their heads and walked out of the cockpit.

The parents in the stands also ran towards their children, crying with joy.

Soon after, Sonoko and Ran walked up to Makino and excitedly described the great adventure they had just experienced.

Mitsuhiko and the other two also walked up to Conan with a smile, and while celebrating Conan's successful completion of the game, they asked about Conan's experience after the Game Over.

At this moment, Maori Kogoro suddenly ran to Xiaolan and cried loudly while holding Xiaolan's shoulders: "Xiaolan! I'm so glad that you are safe and sound!"

Although Kogoro Mori's expression looked very "funny", neither Makino nor Sonoko said much, they just smiled at each other.

Kogoro Mori is indeed a good father.

Soon after, inside the control room.

Under the guidance of Kudo Yusaku, Makino and others walked into the control room and met up with Inspector Shiratori and others who were in the control room.

Although this incident was caused by "Artificial Intelligence Noah's Ark", due to its extremely bad impact, the police had to bring the person in charge and key employees on the scene back to the Metropolitan Police Department for investigation and record.

As for the other guests in the Mihua Municipal Building...soon after the cocoon was opened, most of the guests in the building had left.

Although most of the guests present were powerful people, they did not have the extra energy to hold the organizers accountable because their children had just been "released" unharmed.

Rather than holding the organizers accountable, their first choice was to comfort the children and take them away from this "horrible" place.

What's more, although Inspector Megure and his team made small moves, most of the guests present had already learned about the arrest of President Thomas Sindora, so there was naturally no reason for them to stay here any longer.

However, it is foreseeable that in the next few days, Sindora's company and the game company responsible for the production of the five games will inevitably suffer a devastating blow like a storm.

The reason why Makino ordered Inspector Shiratori and others to bring the on-site person in charge and key employees back to the Metropolitan Police Department was not only to distance the Metropolitan Police Department from this "public opinion storm", but also to protect these innocent guys in disguise.

Not long after, Kudo Yusaku and Conan walked up to Makino and frowned, "Makino, the computers and hosts in the control room and other offices seem to have been 'cleared'. This should be the work of Noah's Ark. He seems to have wiped out himself and all the information related to the game."

Makino nodded, then looked down at Conan: "Well, he told us this when we left. If he didn't do this, artificial intelligence like him would definitely be used by adults in bad ways."

Hearing this, Kudo Yusaku and Conan both nodded silently with gloomy expressions.

Although they are reluctant to admit it, what Noah's Ark said is indeed correct. Once an artificial intelligence like his is obtained by people or organizations with ulterior motives, it may not be as simple as "causing harm".

After a moment of silence, Kudo Yusaku looked up at Makino and chuckled, "By the way, Makino, Yukiko came back with me this time, but she is attending a class reunion tonight so she is not here.

She said that she must treat everyone to a meal this time, but she hasn't decided on a location yet, I'll let you know when she's booked." After saying this, Kudo Yuu glanced around and lowered his voice, "In addition, I actually brought back some information this time, I don't know if it's useful..."

……

At the same time, in a detached house in Haido Town.

Judy and James, who were dressed in casual clothes, looked at the time on their mobile phones seriously, and occasionally glanced at the door not far away.

——“Click”

After a moment, there was a slight sound of a door opening.

Wearing a knitted hat, Shuichi Akai walked slowly into the house.

After seeing Shuichi Akai, Judy and James stood up immediately, their eyes filled with nervousness.

Akai Shuichi glanced at the two of them, then turned his head and looked around carefully with a serious expression.

After noticing his actions, James said, "Don't worry, Judy has already investigated this place carefully, and I have also sent other members to set up defenses around it."

Hearing this, Akai Shuichi let out a sigh of relief and frowned, "Boss, you guessed right, Lieutenant Colonel Reynard really did hide something from us.

In addition to the wreckage of the plane that crashed directly to the ground of the base, they seemed to have secretly transported away the wreckage of the plane that crashed into the sea.

Not only that, I also saw a suspicious black luxury car driving out of their base. The glass and body of the car were specially treated. I didn’t see who was sitting in it, and I didn’t know how many people were in the car…”

Hearing this, James immediately lowered his head and his expression turned a little ugly.

When he was communicating with Lieutenant Colonel Leonard before, he had vaguely sensed that the other party... or the military did not seem to want to make a big deal out of "that incident", and was even trying their best to minimize the impact of that incident.

Before leaving last time, Lieutenant Colonel Reynard whispered something in his ear: "Blake, you should know that there are some things that even you and I cannot delve into."

After that meeting, James received instructions from above, asking them to unconditionally cooperate with Lieutenant Colonel Leonard and others, and to abandon that base directly and build new large bases in other areas.

Although he had received many similar orders over the years, this was the first time he received an order like "retreat quickly and leave all subsequent matters to the military."

Although the FBI and the military have some overlap, they are two parallel departments and there should be no difference in their powers.

In previous cases, even those involving the military, the higher-ups would never issue a hard order like “stop interfering”.

Therefore, he specifically asked Shuichi Akai to secretly monitor and investigate their original base and military personnel such as Lieutenant Colonel Leonard.

No one knew about this except the three of them.

In fact, perhaps only Shuichi Akai is capable of carrying out such a mission.

Now it seems that things are probably more troublesome and worse than he imagined.

After a long silence, James sighed and slowly glanced at Shuichi Akai and Judy in front of him: "I really hope this guess is false..."

Akai Shuichi and Judy looked at each other with extremely serious expressions.

Although James did not say it explicitly, they all understood what this so-called "speculation" meant.

Let’s not talk about the FBI, the military and political leaders might have some kind of “connection” with the black organization, or even…

If this is the case, then what will they do next?

James closed his eyes and shook his head, saying, "Don't tell anyone else about this for now, including Carmel. After this is over, we will first... investigate our people. We are going to rebuild the base, so we can take this opportunity to investigate our people first.

As for other places, try not to alarm the enemy without clear evidence. We must first make it clear who our friends are.”

Hearing this, Shuichi Akai and Judy nodded seriously.

After saying this, James suddenly remembered something and frowned again, "By the way, how is the investigation going on for the guy who knocked out Kamal's men last time?"

Akai Shuichi shook his head and said, "It's like he appeared out of thin air. I can't find any clues."

"Really? I see." James reached out and adjusted his glasses. "There's nothing we can do. Let's ignore this for now. Judging from the fact that he helped us shoot down a plane and didn't hurt Kamal's men, this person is very suspicious, but it's not to the point where we have to investigate him at all costs."

After saying that, James glanced at Shuichi Akai out of the corner of his eye and sighed secretly.

Although he said so, even Shuichi Akai's personal investigation failed to find any clues. Even if they investigate at all costs, there will probably be no results.

……

In the Muye car.

Makino drove Sonoko back to the Suzuki residence.

There has been nothing important recently, so he basically lives with Ayako at Suzuki's house and rarely goes home.

Sonoko excitedly described to Makino her and Xiaolan's "glorious achievements" in the pirate world, and said that this was the most fun and realistic game she had ever played.

After talking for a long time, Yuanzi picked up the bottle of oolong tea beside him and took two gulps. Then, as if he had thought of something, he frowned and said, "By the way, it seems that I can't eat or drink in the game. Although my sense of smell is the same as usual, my sense of taste seems to be... gone?"

Makino chuckled and shook his head, "Actually, there are, but none of those five games have implemented functions like eating. After all, the touch and smell parts alone are complicated enough~"

Just as Yuanzi was about to continue discussing things related to the game world, she suddenly remembered something and frowned, "I see... By the way, Brother Longyi, I want my sister to experience this game as well, maybe she will become interested in it!

But I just heard them say that all the data related to the game has been destroyed by the artificial intelligence called Noah's Ark and itself... Will we still be able to play this game in the future?"

Makino chuckled and glanced at Yuanzi, then nodded and said, "It's rare that you still think about your sister~ Don't worry, I promise you can still have fun~"

"Really?! That's great!!" Sonoko half raised her hands excitedly.

After seeing Sonoko's appearance, Makino smiled and shook his head, and said in his mind: "Bain, tell Hiroki Sawada for me, I'm afraid he doesn't have much time left for vacation~"
