Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 131 London Years Ago
"Next, please enjoy this next-generation game console - Cocoon!"

The host took the microphone and began to introduce the capsule that carried the virtual reality technology to everyone.

An oval-shaped egg, the structure inside the egg is somewhat similar to a massage chair, making people feel that sitting in it would be very comfortable.

"This cocoon controls the five senses of human beings. Whether it is touch, pain, or smell, all the senses are very real, allowing players to achieve an immersive effect in the game world as much as possible... In addition, it uses a system that stimulates the central nervous system through electricity, which is completely harmless to the body. You can enter and experience it with confidence."

Several well-known stars acted as models and, with the assistance of the host, sat in the cabin and explained the usage and precautions to the fifty "beta testers" present.

Below the stage, Conan, Xiaolan and the others were listening with great interest.

Only Xia He's mouth corners never stopped twitching.

Oh boy, Sword Art Online, huh?
Apart from the smartphones that were manufactured in advance through his and Dr. Agasa's unremitting efforts, Japan's entire technology is currently only at the level of the early 2000s. And with such a level of technology, it is able to produce such an advanced holographic gaming cabin?
Isn't your technology tree a bit too crooked?

"Once the other party monopolizes this technology, in the next few decades... no, it should be within a hundred years, no other company will be able to replace Sindorak's position in the gaming industry."

Xia Hezheng muttered.

Then, Dr. Agasa appeared out of nowhere and said to Conan and the others excitedly, "Are you all here? That's great. How about guessing the riddle I just came up with?"

Everyone: "."

Thinking of Dr. Agasa's puzzle that was like a cold joke, even the three kids from the Junior Detective Team couldn't help but shiver.

"Well, since no one objects, I will start asking questions!" Dr. Agasa coughed and was about to speak when his eyes suddenly noticed the empty seat next to Conan.

"Hey, where's Xia He?"

"I do not know."

"Maybe he went to the bathroom."

Ayumi and Genta looked around and guessed.

……

"Fortunately I ran away quickly."

Outside the hall.

Xia He stood in front of the bathroom, took out his cell phone, and began searching for information about Sindora Company on the Internet.

"Three years ago, DNA tracing technology was developed that can trace human ancestors through skin and blood?"

I see……

Isn't the memory resurfacing again?

If he had not watched pirated discs in his previous life, then it would not be surprising that Thomas Sindoora, the president of the Sindoor Company, should be the descendant of the famous British murderer, Jack the Ripper.

In order to prevent his identity from being exposed and thus ruining his reputation, Thomas forced Hiroki Sawada, who developed this technology, to death, causing him to jump off a building and commit suicide in despair.

The 10-year-old IT genius died at the hands of the devil's offspring...

"What a pity."

Xia He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If such a talent could enter his Chunxia Game Company, wouldn't he be able to take off immediately?

But then I thought again, if Hiroki Sawada hadn't died, he would have probably been targeted by the winery a long time ago, right?
He put the phone in his pocket, turned around and ran to the toilet. As soon as he came out, he caught a glimpse of a large number of police officers entering the room.

"What happened?" Xia He stopped a police officer and asked.

The police officer was a little impatient at first, but after recognizing Xia He as the recently famous detective, his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, "It's like this, Mr. Jiu Niang, we just received a report that a murder occurred in the computer room of this building..."

"Is the deceased called Kashimura Tadaki?" Xia He asked.

"Hey, how did you know?" The police officer blinked in surprise.

how could I know?

I've seen this theater version!

Xia Hexin said. Meanwhile...

"Hey, brother Xia He!"

Megure Juzo happily raised his hand and greeted Xia He.

It was as if he had come to a resort hotel instead of a crime scene.

"Inspector Megure." Xia He responded with a smile.

Then, Megure Jusan stepped forward and hugged Xia He's shoulders, "I feel relieved with you here, come with me and take a look?"

"Row."

……

In the basement computer room, a man's body was slumped in an office chair, his chest covered in blood, and it was obvious that he had been dead for a long time.

"The deceased is Kashimura Tadaki, male, 39 years old, an IT engineer. Judging from the situation at the scene, the possibility of suicide can almost be ruled out." A police officer reported to Megure Juzo.

"The heart was pierced by a sharp weapon. It was a fatal blow." Xia He stepped forward to take a look at the wound and said.

"But the murder weapon seems to have been taken away from the scene. We just searched the entire room and found nothing that could be used to pierce the victim's chest."

"What could be the reason?"

The police were thinking.

"There are two possibilities." The next second, Conan appeared from nowhere and squatted beside Xia He, looking at the bloodstains on the ground with a thoughtful expression, "I guess the murder weapon is very important to the murderer, or, once it is exposed at the scene, people will immediately guess his identity..."

"You little brat!"

Kogoro Mouri, who followed closely, saw Conan squatting on the ground "showing off" and hit Conan on the head with a slap.

Conan immediately hugged his head and began to scream in pain silently.

After saying hello to Maori Kogoro, Megure Jusan looked at Xia He again and asked, "How is it, Xia He, have you figured out who the murderer is?"

Xia He: "."

My side job is a detective, not a fortune teller, so how can I see through the truth at a glance?
Although I do know who the murderer is...

So he pointed at the computer and said, "Well, could the three letters on the keyboard with blood stains be a hint left by the deceased before he died?"

Upon hearing this, everyone hurried to the keyboard.

"RTJ?"

"JR? JT? Hmm, trains and cigarettes?" Kogoro Mouri analyzed seriously.

"RTJ...JTR...London a hundred years ago?" Conan, as Xia He expected, quickly guessed the meaning.

"You mean that game?"

He muttered softly, then turned his head to look at the badge on Xia He's chest.

"What, you want to look for clues in the game?" Xia Jia immediately guessed what Conan meant.

"Yeah." Conan nodded.

But soon, he gave up the idea of ​​asking Xia He to give him the badge, "I'm not very good at games. If I really want to go in, you have to lead me all the way through."

After all, when he played the Famicom at home in the past, he was always "bullied" by Xia He.

Even Xiaolan's gaming talent is much better than his.

This made Conan feel a rare sense of frustration.
