Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 541 Character Code Name: Scholar

Thomas Sindora and Aiko Sawada had no social interaction; these two completely unrelated people were inexplicably brought together, and that was four years ago.

Shortly after Tadahiro Kenmura and Aiko Sawada divorced, the latter went to the United States.

This situation, with absolutely no prior context, is very similar to the DNA situation.

Therefore, Xia Chuan has reason to suspect that the Sindora Corporation, or rather Thomas Sindora, is also related to "that person".

It could be a cooperative relationship, or it could be a superior-subordinate relationship.

Hiroki Sawada was the "product" that "that person" provided to Thomas Sindora.

Of course, Xia Chuan didn't think there was anything wrong with this. There are so many cattle and horses in society now. To put it nicely, they are productive forces. To put it bluntly, aren't they all just "products"?

However, Hiroki Sawada, who was only ten years old, became one of them ahead of time.

Given this premise, Thomas Sindora would pay, and the cycle makes sense.

Clearly, Xia Chuan won his gamble.

Kenjiro's expression told him that the Syndora Corporation was indeed related to "that person".

But everything changed two years ago.

Two years ago, "that person" must have encountered some kind of problem, which caused him to lose control of the group under his command, and Thomas Sindora completely took over Hiroki Sawada at this time.

This explanation also makes sense for Anya's problem.

Kenmura Tadahiro remained silent for a long time, seemingly considering something.

About ten minutes later, he said weakly, "That's right."

After saying this, he walked straight to the window and looked outside, then drew the curtains, and then went to the bedside and unplugged the telephone line.

This is not over yet.

He then carefully inspected the bed, table, bathroom, air conditioner vents, and electrical outlets.

All possibilities of eavesdropping have been ruled out.

Xia Chuan watched the whole thing without saying a word.

Judging from Kenmura Tadahira's behavior, "that person" was clearly terrifying.

"Actually, I do know something about what you're talking about."

Kenmura Tadahira was clearly still a little nervous, and cold sweat had unknowingly appeared on his forehead. He took a sip of water to moisten his throat before continuing, "Besides Hiroki and me, my ex-wife and Joel's parents also knew about that person."

“But they are all dead, and the laboratory was involved in a massive explosion two years ago. I didn’t want to bring it up again.”

Natsukawa apologized, "I'm sorry to have reminded Mr. Kenmura of something unpleasant. Please rest assured, I won't tell anyone about this."

"Ah."

"It's best not to tell Joel and Yuri either, otherwise they'll probably be just as disappointed in their parents as Hiroki."

"What do you mean by that, Mr. Kenmura? Could you please explain more clearly?"

“Actually, Joel’s parents, my ex-wife, and I were all colleagues, and we had all been working for that person. We were all orphans adopted by him when we were young, and his purpose in adopting us was not because he liked children, but because he wanted to use us as his experimental tools.”

"So, is the reason why Joel and Yuri are special because of the experiment?"

"That's right. We've been taking a gene-based drug developed by that person since we were young. After we grew up, he deliberately made us develop feelings for each other."

It was around that time that I learned the reason we were adopted and why we were given medication. At first, I thought I was sick and that he was giving us medication to treat our illness.

Kenmura Tadahiro gave a self-deprecating laugh, clearly somewhat helpless about his own foolishness.

"After all, I was still young at that time," Xia Chuan added to the other person's excuse.

"Maybe"

"Jol's parents are a generation older than me and my ex-wife. They got married first and had Joel and Yuri a few years later."

Joel and Yuri showed their special qualities even before they were two years old. You should have been able to see that during the time you've spent together, right?

"Yes."

Xia Chuan nodded expressionlessly: "Yoel's physical attributes are terrifying. Despite not having undergone any special training, the explosive power and combat strength she displays are worlds apart from ordinary people."

Yuri also has unique abilities in recovery and resilience; I previously thought they were just naturally gifted.

"The success of Joel and Yuri made that person very excited, and then those of us who hadn't given birth yet started to increase our dosage."

Kenmura Tadahira seemed to have thought of something terrifying; his face turned slightly pale, and his lips trembled.

Even on those exposed arms, the pores were open and the hairs stood on end.

"Although that drug did inspire my talent in IT, I had to endure inhuman pain every time I took it, and this pain continued until I married my daughter and then became pregnant."

Thinking of Hiroki, who had just been born, a slight smile inevitably appeared on Kenmura Tadahiro's lips.

But that smile only lasted for a moment.

Because at that time he did not yet have the sense of responsibility of being a father.

Having children is largely a way to avoid taking those gene-editing drugs.

"That person was an extremely talented scholar. He spent twenty years researching various drugs and training us so that our children would have special abilities."

He said that humanity should not be so weak, and that he was unlocking the genetic shackles of humanity, hoping to use this method to allow humanity to continue generation after generation, and slowly, one day, become a god-like being!

Fear flickered in Kenmura Tadahira's eyes. By the time he learned of the other party's purpose, he was already an adult and had a clear understanding of the world. How insane their words were, yet he was utterly powerless and unable to resist the people who had raised him.

"Jol's parents were also completely brainwashed by the other party. Even after Joel and Yuri were born, they treated their child as an experimental subject and could not feel any blood ties between them."

The two who came after them changed somewhat, began to value their children, and even took Joel and Yuri to Japan.

But it was no use. All of this was under that man's watchful eye, and in the end, only death awaited the couple.

"Is this the cause of Joel's parents' death?"

Tadahiro Kenmura nodded slightly: "During this period, I have been acting as an observer for Joel and Yuri, recording their situation."

This record continued until two years ago. One day two years ago, I suddenly lost contact with that person. A month later, I went back to the lab myself, only to find that it had long since become ruins.

I asked around and heard that there was some kind of methane explosion.

But I know that's impossible; there must have been some problem with the experiment that caused the explosion.

From that moment on, I never received any more orders from that person, life began to return to normal, and then I heard about Hiroki's situation from Noah's Ark.

After listening to Kenmura Tadahira's story, Natsukawa didn't know what to say.

Is it comforting?
People like Kenjiro and his ilk don't seem to deserve any comfort.

They are pitiful and pathetic, infuriating and hateful.

"Mr. Kenmura, you keep talking about that person, do you know what his name is?"

This is very important to Xia Chuan.

Even if Karasuma Renya still leaves traces in the world, and there are many of them, as long as Kenmura Tadahira mentions this person's name, he can try to find him.

"that person"

Kenmura Tadahiro paused for a moment, then unconsciously picked up his water glass and took another sip, seemingly lost in thought.

After a while, he shook his head: "I don't know."

“I was adopted by him when I was about seven or eight years old, but I had never heard of his name before.”

"We've always called him 'Sir,' but we've heard from letters written to him that he's referred to as a 'scholar.'"

"A scholar?"

What an ironic name.

He's doing something as shameful as giving birth to a son without an anus, yet he's called a "scholar."

"I remember it was about twenty years ago. The letter was also strange. It was unsigned, but the seal had a bird-like stamp on it."

Is it a crow?

Xia Chuan immediately perked up; this was very likely the connection between Karasuma Renya and the scholars.

"I don't know. I was too young at the time. I can't remember if it was a crow or what the contents were. I only remember that the scholar seemed to be very disdainful of the person who sent the letter."

Xia Chuan thought so.

But the word "disdain" is interesting.

Could it be that the earliest longevity drugs were related to the other party, and that the other party had a disagreement with Karasuma Renya for some reason?

The Miyano couple officially joined the brewery nineteen years ago.

That letter was from more than twenty years ago.

Tadahiro Kenmura was adopted about thirty years ago.

Was it because the "scholars" refused to continue developing the longevity drug for Karasuma Renya that they sought out the Miyano couple?

It seems to make sense.

If so, was the person on Mermaid Island thirty-eight years ago, the one with only two strokes left, the scholar?
Xia Chuan was seething with hatred. He didn't know if it was the recorder's mistake or that damned Xiao Qiang who erased the names from the list.

wrong!

This was most likely erased by the "scholars" themselves!

The person's wariness of DNA information reveals that they are extremely cautious, even more so than Karasuma Renya.

At least Karasuma Renya didn't completely clear his name; there are still rumors that he's alive.

It's just that nobody believes in such legends of immortality.

"By the way, could you tell me where the scholar's laboratory is located?"

Jiancun did not hesitate and said directly: "About 30 kilometers east of New York, scholars have bought a lot of land there. On the surface, they raise cattle and sheep, but underground it is an experimental base."

Seeing Xia Chuan's obvious excitement, Jiancun shook his head helplessly: "But it's no use knowing this news now. Everything has been buried after the explosion there two years ago."

Xia Chuan was a little disappointed, but his emotions didn't fluctuate much. He had known about this point two years ago and was somewhat prepared, but he just felt a little regretful.

"So, how many children have scholars adopted? Besides you, are there any others?"

Anya's name popped into Xia Chuan's mind.

The timing and location of Anya's appearance perfectly match the laboratory explosion.
