Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 533 Three Favors
"But that doesn't make sense. The distillery boss often contacts Gin online, so there shouldn't be no information at all."

"Let me check."

About five minutes later, Noah's Ark's voice came again: "That boss's voice has been processed by a voice changer. With my current database, I can't reconstruct and restore his voice. Besides, he has never appeared in front of the camera."

As for your claim about contacting Gin, the network signals I found were all ordinary residential networks. That's right, the only thing I can confirm is that the distillery boss is indeed in Japan, and should be in Tottori, Nagano, or Gunma.

Those signal sources appear most frequently in these three locations.

Of course, I can't be completely certain; this is just the highest probability derived from data analysis.

"Strange." Xia Chuan seemed to suddenly remember something: "Why did you tell me so much?"

"Because Hiroki owes you three favors, and as my creator, I have a duty to help him repay them."

"Three?"

Xia Chuan pondered for a long time but couldn't grasp the key point.

To be honest, the only thing he did was save Kenmura Tadahira's life just now, right?

“Saving Kenmura Tadahira’s life counts as one, helping Hiroki avenge himself counts as another, and there’s one more.” Noah’s Ark paused for a long time this time, and then said, “You’ll know someday.”

"I just calculated two favors for you, but I don't have much time left, and you still have one more favor to do."

Xia Chuan curled his lip; this Noah's Ark was like a genie.

However, this AI has a lot of emotional scenes; it's always talking about human feelings, making it seem like a real person.

Forget it, I'd better think about this last favor quickly, since the other party just said that time is running out.

It seems that, just like in the original story, whether it is the will of Conan or the way of thinking given by Hiroki Sawada, it is prepared to choose self-destruction.

Perhaps it had this idea much earlier, and the reason it still exists now is to seek revenge against Thomas Sindora!

"The game is about to begin, and the lobby is already searching for Thomas Sindora. Your time is running out."

"Could you get me another copy of the research data on APTX4869 from the winery?"

Since the research was moved to Europe, it has become almost impossible for Xia Chuan to obtain these things.

Tequila is Gin's confidant, but even if he goes to the European branch, Rum might not treat him well, let alone let him get involved in drug research.

If that's the case, why not just send Noah's Ark directly? That would be much more convenient.

“Okay, go to Sindora’s office now. The evidence of Thomas Sindora’s tax evasion, along with what you need, will be downloaded to his local computer in five minutes.”

Of course, the data on APTX4869 has certain limitations. The research base has some offline or local area network devices, so I can only provide a portion of it.

Finally, I've put all surveillance cameras on the way to Thomas Sindora's office; you don't need to worry about being discovered.

"it is good."

Xia Chuan left immediately, but it was a pity it was his last favor; otherwise, he would have liked to ask the gardener for information.

But compared to the gardener's information, the data on APTX4869 is clearly more important to him right now.

Or rather, the gardener has other ideas!

He has now taken the main body of the DNA tracking program. Once he gets the source code, he'll see if he can get Frank to find someone to modify it.

Maybe we can climb over by following the network cable.

This wasn't just Xia Chuan's wild idea; it was actually quite possible. This thing was similar to network signal tracking.

Tracing the source of a network signal might be even simpler.

On his way to Sindora's office, Xia Chuan indeed saw several burly men, who were clearly bodyguards, running towards the stairs.

Because of the press conference, the elevator could not directly access the basement where the main server room was located; we had to walk up the stairs.

Behind the bodyguards was Yusaku Kudo, who had just finished his speech. His expression was not good either, and he vaguely sensed that something had happened.

He couldn't get in touch with either Sindora or Kenmura Tadahira just now, and considering that Kenmura Tadahira had asked him to help investigate Sindora before, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"Xia Chuan?"

Kudo Yusaku glanced at Natsukawa, who had just stepped into the elevator.

He had already heard about Natsukawa and Conan from Professor Agasa, so he took a closer look.

Xia Chuan nodded in greeting and then closed the elevator.

Kudo Yusaku paused for a moment, feeling an urge to follow Natsukawa, but he knew what was important right now, and without saying anything more, he headed straight for the stairs.

Shortly after, Inspector Megure from the Metropolitan Police Department arrived at the scene.

Next up are Conan and Kogoro Mouri.

One by one, detectives and police officers arrived at the main control room where Kenmura Tadahira was located.

The server room was empty. There were many splattered bloodstains on the floor, the tables and chairs were overturned, and the keyboard with the cable hanging in front of the table was swaying. Three keys on the keyboard were clearly covered with bloodstains.

Tadahiro Kenmura was not there, and Thomas Cindora, who was expected to be there, was also not there.

Kudo Yusaku's expression was uncertain; the worst-case scenario was that one of them was dead, and the other was either escaping with the body or hiding it.

Who exactly made the move? He had investigated Thomas Sindora for so long, yet he hadn't discovered that the other party had such intentions.

It's still Tadahiro Kenmura? That shouldn't be the case. If the other party really wanted to kill Thomas Sindora, they would have had plenty of opportunities. They wouldn't have chosen this press conference at all. In fact, the press conference venue would be more prone to problems due to the dense surveillance.

Oh, right, surveillance cameras!!!
"Inspector Megure, we must retrieve the surveillance footage immediately; it's highly likely."

Yusaku Kudo stopped speaking abruptly, his gaze fixed on the computer screen.

The same image appeared on the three crooked screens on the table.

It was a giant wooden ship. On the windy and rainy sea, the ship was like a lone boat, yet it sailed forward with great steadiness.

The technician explained, "The computer seems to be infected with a virus. It's completely uncontrollable. The image above is probably a manifestation of the virus."

"This isn't a virus at all, it's...an AI Noah's Ark!!"

Yusaku Kudo muttered to himself as he strode to the computer. He had only heard about Tadahiro Kenmura before; this was the first time he had actually seen him in person.

Although the other party did not greet him, he had a vague feeling that Noah's Ark might know something.

But how do I communicate with him?
"Brother Kudo, what are you talking about?"

Inspector Megure noticed Yusaku Kudo's unusual behavior and asked him what was wrong, but Yusaku Kudo ignored him completely.

He walked up to the computer and suddenly noticed three letters on the keyboard smeared with blood.

Just as he was about to take a closer look at which three letters had been smeared, he suddenly felt a force on his left thigh and lost his balance, taking two steps back.

Looking down, I saw my good son.

"TRJ, TJR, JTR"

Conan rearranged the English letters on the keyboard, and when he said "JTR", his expression clearly paused.

"Professor James Moriarty!"

"That's right, it's London a hundred years ago."

Yusaku Kudo nodded directly.

The conversation between the two was somewhat inexplicable; Inspector Megure and the newly arrived Kogoro Mouri were clearly not on the same wavelength as the father and son.

"Hey Kudo, what exactly were you trying to say just now?"

"Inspector Megure, check the security cameras in the lobby, hallway, and outside this office. I saw them when I came in; they were working properly. You should be able to find something."

"I understand." Inspector Megure nodded and said to Shiratori beside him, "Go and notify the people at Sindora Corporation to pause the game."

"No way!" With his father as his backer, Conan was completely uninhibited. He didn't care about his status as a child and said directly, "The three letters left on the keyboard clearly point to the London scene a hundred years ago in the 'Cocoon' game. In addition to investigating the surveillance footage, we must enter the game to find the secret represented by these three letters."

"Kid, what nonsense are you spouting? This is no place for you to speak."

Kogoro Mouri raised his hand with a sour face, but his father naturally disapproved.

If he didn't see it, so be it. But if he did see it, how could he let Kogoro Mouri lay a hand on it? He wouldn't even dare to hit his precious son; he'd only dare to scare him.

"Mr. Mori, don't be so malicious towards children. Sometimes children's opinions are important too, aren't they?"

"I want you to manage."

Kogoro Mouri curled his lip. Sure enough, the two men in the Kudo family were pretty much the same. They were both pretentious. Look at their arrogant demeanor. They were just a super novelist and an amateur detective.

Although it's a bit sour, he's now the top detective in all of Japan. We're all equally skilled, and he's even trying to teach me a lesson?

Kogoro Mouri snorted and walked to the side with his arms crossed, wanting to see what the two, one big and one small, were going to do.

If we can't find the murderer and the victim, we'll go back and give them a good dressing down!
"The game is about to start, so I'll leave this to you."

Conan said these words to himself, but he believed that his father could understand his expression.

As expected, a tacit understanding was evident between the father and son, and Kudo Yusaku nodded slightly.

As Conan ran outside, he looked at the badge in his hand. "No matter what, I will find out the meaning behind these three letters!"

As for the idea of ​​giving the badge to Ai Haibara just now, in the face of the case, everything else has to take a back seat.

Even Xiao Lan is no exception, let alone Xiao Ai.

Conan's departure went unnoticed by anyone. Yusaku Kudo continued his investigation, and Kogoro Mouri also began to examine the place in a seemingly serious manner.

"Strange, why don't I feel sleepy yet?"

After a while, Kogoro Mouri got a little annoyed. Another detective was at the scene, Yusaku Kudo. Heaven knows how much he wanted to show off his reasoning skills, but he wasn't very sleepy at all.

To be honest, he usually gets sleepy and falls asleep shortly after a case occurs, but today he's inexplicably energetic.

That's strange, could it be that he drank too much?
Meanwhile, Xia Chuan had already taken the elevator to the floor where Thomas Sindora's office was located.

Although Joel has already left with Kenmura Tadahira, and no one is helping him solve the surveillance problem, fortunately there is the Noah's Ark of artificial intelligence.

"Is this right here?"

Just as Xia Chuan was about to step forward and demonstrate his lock-picking skills, his cell phone rang in his pocket.
