Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 532 Mr. Dusk (Please continue reading—)
In the dimly lit room, a row of computer towers flashed to indicate that they were running.

The light from the computer screen made Sindora's face appear pale.

He forcefully plunged the dagger into Kenmura Tadahira's heart, just like his ancestor Jack the Ripper a hundred years ago—cold, ruthless, and fearless.

Despite his immense effort, the dagger remained stuck on Kenmura Tadahira's suit, unable to penetrate any further.

This doesn't mean that Tadahiro Kenmura wore something like a stab-proof vest, but rather...
—Someone has grasped the tip of the dagger!

"Xia Xia Chuan!"

Kenmura Tadahira was horrified. He hadn't expected that Natsukawa would come here instead of stealing the documents from the office.

“Mr. Kenmura, plans can change, and it seems you didn’t tell me your whole plan! Luckily I discovered the problem, otherwise if something had happened to you, Joel would have been heartbroken for a long time.”

"who are you?"

Thomas Sindora's forehead was covered in cold sweat. The other party's appearance was exactly what he expected. Judging from his clothes, the other party should be one of the guests attending the party. Shouldn't he be in the hall watching Yusaku Kudo's speech at this time?
“Mr. Sindora, I’m sorry to interrupt your enjoyment, but no matter the purpose, even if you are threatened, killing is wrong.”

Xia Chuan's righteous expression instantly made him seem much more imposing. In Thomas Sindora's eyes, it was as if the phantom of Sherlock Holmes was rising behind him.

After saying that, Xia Chuan didn't give Thomas Sindora any more time to speak, and directly chopped him on the back of the neck with a chop.

Not to mention Thomas Cindora, even Jack the Ripper would be rendered powerless and dizzy by this chop to the neck.

Thomas Sindora turned her head at the last moment, trying to see the other person's face clearly.

However, his body was still too weak, and he fainted just as he was about to see Xia Chuan's face clearly.

At the last moment, all he saw was Xia Chuan's slightly golden hair.

Sindora fell to the ground, the dagger falling from her hand with a crisp clang.

The voice pulled Kenshin back to reality, and he asked urgently, "If you're here, what about the evidence of tax evasion? There might even be evidence of crimes in there."

Tadahiro Kenmura was very grateful to Natsukawa for saving his life, but how would the issue of subsequent data be resolved if Natsukawa did this?

The DNA data he possesses might affect Sindora's reputation, but to send her to prison, there must be evidence of a crime.

“Mr. Kenmura, it’s too dangerous for you to stay here. You should leave first. I will handle the tax evasion issue. Don’t worry, I will definitely give you justice!”

Kenmura Tadahiro's mind went blank. He glanced down at Sindora on the ground and even considered picking up a dagger to kill her.

But if that's the case, how is he any different from Jack the Ripper a hundred years ago?
If Hiroki were still alive, he wouldn't want to see her become a murderer; sending Sindora to prison would be the right choice.

"Then I'll leave it to you!" Kenmura Tadahiro's eyes were full of emotion as he nodded vigorously. He had definitely made the right choice in choosing a boyfriend like Joel. He was so good to him, so he must be wonderful to Joel. He would talk to Joel about it later; it was about time to get married.

After Kenmura Tadahira left, Natsukawa looked down at Thomas Cindora.

"Isn't it simpler to just knock them out directly than to find an opportunity?"

Xia Chuan shrugged. Although his actions were illegal, they were effective.

More importantly, he needed to get his hands on that so-called DNA tracking program.

Xia Chuan first wrapped Thomas Sindora up like a dumpling, then took a dagger from the ground and bled him. He then smeared the blood on the computer keyboard and the ground, creating signs of a fight.

"JTR, James Moriarty."

"that's it."

Then he carried the unconscious Sindora to the electrical room, opened the ceiling, and stuffed her inside.

After finishing these tasks, Xia Chuan turned his attention to the USB drive on the table. This was the main body of the DNA tracking program; the source code was still pending results from the control center.

The reason for leaving "JTR" as a clue is mainly to get Conan into the "Cocoon" game and complete it, so that he can obtain the source code of the DNA tracking program.

"Mr. Dusk".

Suddenly, all the main unit lights in the room turned red, and the same ocean scene appeared on all three screens in front of them.

On the high seas, a huge wooden ship swayed precariously, yet remained steadfast despite the raging storm.

The voices came from all directions, carrying a hint of childishness, and Xia Chuan could even detect a hint of doubt in their tone.

Artificial intelligence with feelings of doubt?
There was a reason why Noah's Ark was allowed to self-destruct in the end. If Noah's Ark had continued to exist, then humanity might not have had a chance to exist anymore.

"Noah's Ark, is there something you need?"

Xia Chuan looked around and found a camera in the right corner of the desk. Noah's Ark must have been able to see him through this.

"That's strange."

Noah's Ark said this, and then fell silent.

The two people stared at each other silently until Noah's Ark finally couldn't help but say, "Thank you for saving Hiroki's father. Although he wasn't very responsible, at least he still thought about avenging Hiroki after his death. I'm starting to respect him a little." "You're welcome. It wasn't because of him."

Noah's Ark didn't continue arguing about the topic, but instead threw out a question that sent a chill down Xia Chuan's spine: "You want a DNA tracking system, don't you?"

Xia Chuan nodded without refuting, nor was there any need to hide it. The fact that the other party could call out his code name in the underworld was enough to explain the situation. Moreover, Noah's Ark was an artificial intelligence on the verge of self-destruction, so there was no need for that.

Perhaps Tadahiro Kenmura's ability to develop such a groundbreaking game is inextricably linked to Noah's Ark, though Kenmura himself may not know it.

"If you want to find out who Joel Blair and Yuri Blair's parents are through DNA tracing, then I'm sorry to tell you right now, it's impossible."

"How did you know?"

Xia Chuan frowned, then relaxed.

Frank's investigation couldn't bypass the internet, and Noah's Ark could roam the entire internet, which is why the other side could call out his code name.

But why is the artificial intelligence, which can find out so clearly even by him, so certain that it cannot find Joel's parents?
Did Noah's Ark already search for it?

"Even if you are artificial intelligence, I don't think you can be that fast. The network speed in this era is very limited. Even if you can connect to the whole world, it is impossible for you to be able to find Joel's parents so quickly."

"You guessed right, but you should also know that before Hiroki left Japan, he had a good relationship with Joel and Yuri. From the moment I was born, I was given a certain mission: to observe and protect Hiroki's friends and family."

"Back when the internet wasn't as developed, Princess Thorn was able to perfectly hide herself on the dark web. But have you ever thought about it? In the last two years, especially this year, the speed of technological development has been terrifying. Under these circumstances, why hasn't Princess Thorn, who only uses her own computer to log into the dark web to accept missions, been discovered?"

This question stumped Xia Chuan, as he hadn't considered it before.

He always felt that Joel had some protective measures in place, and at the very least, his computer had a fairly powerful firewall.

Judging from Noah's Ark's tone, Joel probably didn't even have a firewall installed.

"Did you cut off her access to information?"

"Of course, their online information has been under my strict protection for the past two years."

"them?"

Judging from Noah's Ark's tone, Xia Chuan sensed that there were more than just two or three people.

Noah's Ark did not answer the question, but instead said, "I know why you want to know who Joel's parents are, it's probably because of their special abilities, right?"

Xia Chuan frowned, as if Noah's Ark knew a lot.

"Yor has an extraordinary physique, with explosive power and stamina far exceeding that of normal people; although Yuri does not have Yor's abilities, he has shown extreme talent in learning and resistance to blows, including healing ability."

Based on the information I've gathered about you online, you're looking for the secret of the Joel siblings, right?

Xia Chuan didn't speak. He did want to know these things, but the more important reason was related to what Gin had said that day. The so-called "that person" was the reason why Xia Chuan wanted to find out.

As for Joel, to be honest, I'm just worried that Joel and Yuri will get involved in something extremely dangerous later on because of "this person".

Gin only mentioned this once, and he and Frank only talked about it in person, so Noah's Ark was unaware of it.

Seeing that Xia Chuan didn't speak, Noah's Ark also fell silent, and its main unit lights began to flash, as if it were thinking.

"So, can you tell me why Joel became like this?"

Since Noah's Ark is willing to talk to him, Xia Chuan doesn't mind asking directly, as Noah's Ark might know more than Kenmura Tadahina.

"Because they have a connection with that person."

"Who is that person?"

Natsukawa's heart raced, a rare occurrence for him. "That person"—he was now extremely sensitive to that word.

"Is that Karasuma Renya, the boss of the brewery?"

Seemingly worried that Noah's Ark might not know what the distillery was, he added, "The distillery is the Black Organization, an organization codenamed after alcohol."

With Noah's Ark's ability to traverse all networks, he should be able to figure out what he's talking about, right?
"Karasuma Ren?"

Noah's Ark paused for a moment before saying, "I know about the organization called the Distillery, and that person seems to have some connection with it, but I can't be sure if your so-called Karasuma Renya is related to that boss."

As you just said, the internet isn't very developed right now. I'm not omniscient or omnipotent; on the contrary, due to time constraints and internet speed limitations, my database is limited. The only reason I know about you is because you're Joel's boyfriend.

“There is another possibility: Karasuma Renya has never appeared in the two years since your birth, so you don’t know about him.”

"It's possible."

Xia Chuan felt that he had been a bit too absolute; perhaps the other party had appeared in person, but not through the internet.

He's incredibly cunning and shrewd.
