The establishment of the Time Travelers Alliance began in the first year of Conan

Chapter 111 Conan Gets the Mini Turret

For Conan, after he blurted out "I'm sure", he saw the light in Dr. Agasa's eyes light up for a moment.

That look of joy and relief seemed...

It was like completing a difficult task, as if a huge stone that was pressing on the doctor's heart was finally removed by himself.

Conan frowned, his eyes full of curiosity.

"So, Dr. Agasa? Why do you suddenly ask such a question?"

Dr. Agasa did not answer the question immediately. He walked to the box where he usually kept the props prepared for Conan.

Conan could see that the doctor seemed to be rummaging through something in the box, as if looking for something specific.

"Doctor?" Conan couldn't help but ask again.

"Um--"

Dr. Agasa responded, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry to explain the problem.

"Conan, just think of it as a bet I made with someone... Let's not talk about that for now. Do you still remember why I called you?"

"Holmes's gear!"

Conan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately put the little episode behind him. He jumped off the sofa and trotted to Dr. Agasa.

"Deerstalker hat, cape, pipe, magnifying glass, cane, revolver..."

Conan recited all the equipment he knew about Sherlock Holmes in one breath, his tone full of excitement and anticipation.

However, the first thing handed to Conan was a belt.

Dr. Agasa smiled slightly, took out an object from the box and handed it to Conan.

It didn't match any of the items of Sherlock Holmes' equipment that Conan had mentioned, but was instead an unremarkable belt.

"As long as you press the knob on the left, a compressed special football will pop out and then expand immediately."

The prop in front of him was obviously completely different from the equipment Conan had imagined on the way here.

"Is that it? But Holmes never used it—"

"Conan." The doctor interrupted his complaints.

Then he smiled at Conan and quietly hid his other hand behind his back.

"Conan," Dr. Agasa said in a playful tone, "Can you guess what the real 'detective props' I prepared for you are?"

The doctor's voice was full of pride.

But he sighed in his heart.

This game-like interaction reminded the professor of the time when Shinichi played detective games with him when they were children.

And he knew that the plan he was going to complete would be very important to this child.

How cruel it is.

But now, the doctor's request to solve the case immediately aroused Conan's interest in this detective game.

He began his own "reasoning."

"First of all, it's definitely not a cape coat. After all, no matter how much a piece of clothing is improved, it can't be considered a detective device. And a cape coat is too heavy for one person to carry easily."

“It’s also not the right size.”

Then Conan thought for a moment.

"The same goes for the deerstalker hat. It's just clothing, not detective gear. So the only remaining targets are the pipe, magnifying glass, cane, and revolver."

Finally, the detective carefully observed Dr. Agasa's body movements as he turned his back.

"And, judging from the force pattern of your arms when you turned your back, Dr. Agasa, this object is not very large or heavy, so it cannot be a cane."

"So," Conan struck one of his most commonly used postures, and his confident voice echoed in the living room.

"there is only one truth!"

Then his voice became hesitant and wavering when he spoke the answer.

"The Sherlock Holmes equipment you mentioned, Dr. Agasa..."

"Could it be... a magnifying glass..."

Conan's voice grew frustrated at what he saw in his outstretched hand.

Dr. Agasa showed a smug smile, "Don't underestimate this magnifying glass, Conan!"

"It's more than just a magnifying glass!"

How to make it easier for Conan to solve cases has always been one of the key research focuses.

Unless it is Conan's imagination about the "Gray Party", any imagination that Conan has about the Black Organization is indirectly strengthening the power of the "story timeline".

"In this Shinkansen bombing, the [Story Timeline] will definitely find ways to increase Conan's fear of the [Black Side]!"

Lin Sheng decided to address the best method and root cause of this fear——

Increase Conan's firepower.

"The threat the winery poses to Conan is that as a child, Kudo Shinichi has no good countermeasures when facing members of the Black Organization." "It's like making Conan play a horror game where he can only run away. However, if we give him a 'gun' in this detective game, it will be completely different."

"Don't underestimate this magnifying glass," Dr. Agasa did not immediately hand the thing in his hand to Conan, but whispered, "Come on, stretch out your hand."

With the sound of magnet adsorption, the small magnifying glass that looked like a toy was stuck on the anesthetic needle watch on Conan's wrist.

"It's actually a very useful piece of equipment!"

……

In the world of science, what theory exactly was behind this item called "detective equipment"? The Logistics Equipment Design Department had never quite grasped the concept.

It wasn't until the guys from the Narrative Studies Department joined in that we saw some progress.

"This can be seen from the instant lethal effect of cyanide and the ideal equipment created by Professor Agasa himself. Whether it is a crime tool or detective equipment, they must meet certain 'stereotypes' in novels."

"This has little to do with the structure, materials, and other factors of weapon design. It's more of a 'conceptual' weapon."

During the consultation and discussion with the Equipment Design Bureau, a member of the Narrative Studies Department stood up.

"Please take a look at these videos."

Several videos of the roller coaster murder case and the kidnapping of the chairman's daughter were projected into the center of the conference room.

"Whether it was his own demonstration of the method of committing the crime when making the inference, or the act of using the 'dog' as a means of transportation."

"To use another analogy, it's like a detective picking up an axe and breaking down a door when he needs a clue. The axe symbolizes the concept of 'breaking down obstacles.'"

"But for [Kudo Shinichi], this enhancement is also a constraint, because subconsciously he doesn't think, for example, that spider silk shotgun is equipment a detective needs to use."

"Therefore, whether in the [story timeline] or the [real timeline], you can attack the equipment created by Professor Agasa and turn it into a pile of scrap metal."

A member of the psychological support department also stood up and joined the discussion.

"But we found that [Kudo Shinichi] admired Sherlock Holmes very much. To him, Sherlock Holmes's equipment must be a kind of 'detective equipment'."

The researcher waved his hand, and the series of equipment used by Holmes in the novel appeared in the air as three-dimensional projections.

Deerstalker hat, cape, pipe, magnifying glass, cane, revolver...

"At the same time, we need to consider Conan's thoughts and the responses of other members of the organization."

It is not difficult to improve clothing equipment, and there is more room for adding modular functions.

"But if you have the ability to change the celestial phenomena in the [cycle] and choose the location of the crime [story timeline], improving clothing and equipment is not a good option."

"As for equipment that doesn't fit the era, like pipes, revolvers, and canes, I think Conan is more likely to use it as a collectible than as equipment."

Finally, there was only one projection left in the air—

magnifier.

"So, we hope that the Equipment Design Department, Logistics Department, and members of various research departments will brainstorm together and build a training ground within the snail shell without destroying the properties of the 'magnifying glass'..."

"Complete the R&D, design, and production of this equipment within ten cycle days! Meeting adjourned!"

……

What Dr. Agasa has to do is to patch the "magnifying glass" designed by the Alliance.

Conan must firmly believe that this is a modified "Sherlock Holmes-style" "detective equipment".

A person often believes in things that he has personally verified.

Dr. Agasa began to try to induce Conan to discover the secret of this "magnifying glass".

He used a secretive tone, with a mysterious hint in his voice, as if some huge secret was about to be revealed.

"Conan, you can rotate the lens of this magnifying glass and take a look."

Conan hesitantly stretched out his hand, then he turned the lens of the magnifying glass, and then he was surprised to see——

The originally transparent magnifying glass immediately lit up like an electronic screen.

Three lines of Japanese text appear on the screen:
"Turret Mode"

Radar Mode

Auto-aim mode

Conan's eyes widened, the expression on his face changed from surprise to joy, and his eyes were suddenly filled with excitement.
"Dr. Agasa! This... this is!"

Seeing Conan's face full of shock and joy, Dr. Agasa smiled.

"After all, you've become a child now, so I've been wondering if there's any way to help you improve your 'efficiency'."

The doctor's tone revealed deep concern.

"When the watch and the magnifying glass are placed separately, it is a normal magnifying glass, but if it is attached to the watch——"

"I've stored about 33 micro-anesthetic needles in the handle of this magnifying glass. The radar mode allows you to see movements within meters even through walls. Add in the auto-aiming and turret modes..."

To put it bluntly, this magnifying glass is like a small machine gun that can hit the target within a range of thirty meters.

"Thank you so much! Dr. Agasa!"
