I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Chapter 497 Speed ​​of Life and Death

"Chen En, Noah's Ark says it has detected a special program called Dark Night Baron being activated and is currently intercepting it. Do you know what's going on?"

Dr. Agasa picked up the phone and asked, quite puzzled.

It's already 9 PM.

At this moment, Chen En was sitting in a wheelchair, routinely reviewing his secrets and related data—not in a divine state, but simply because the wheelchair was more comfortable.

He heard Professor Agasa's voice on the phone, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Since Noah's Ark detected the Dark Baron's program and began attempting to intercept it, it must mean that Vermouth discovered the secret email account that Furuya Rei used to store incriminating material and is preparing to delete it.

Vermouth's strategic alliance with Rei Furuya was entirely due to Furuya's control over the deterrent effect he had secretly built.

Now that the secret that Rei Furuya possesses has been discovered by Vermouth, and Vermouth is unaware of the existence of Noah's Ark, that means—Vermouth has probably already begun to take action against Rei Furuya.

Chen En frowned and simply said,

"Okay, I'll handle it."

call ended.

He then pulled out another set of trackers from his bat belt, which contained the location device that Shuichi Akai had installed on Rei Furuya's car after he faked his death and escaped from the meeting.

—Normally, Shuichi Akai should have placed the locator directly on Rei Furuya.

However, there is a difference in strength between Shuichi Akai and Rei Furuya.

However, they are still generally placed at the same level. Therefore, it is unlikely that Shuichi Akai could place the tracker on Rei Furuya without alerting him. He can only settle for second best.

It seems necessary to go there immediately.

Chen En made up his mind.

He pressed the power button on the computer, forcing it to shut down. Then he opened the window, glanced around, and then flipped down, landing safely with the help of a grappling hook.

There's not much time left now, no time to climb the stairs.

With a buzzing sound, Chen En rode the Batmobile out of the nearby temporary bat cave and headed towards the location of the locator. However, at that moment, the Death God Elementary School Student had already respawned.

Conan adjusted his non-prescription glasses, pushed his skateboard, and immediately followed.

Because Kogoro Mouri received a voicemail from Ryozo Gamo.

Worried that something might go wrong, he took Ran Mouri out to visit Ryozo Gamo's house. Conan was supposed to go too, but he said he was sleepy and wanted to go to bed.

Therefore, Conan is now alone at home, quietly observing Chen En's situation.

—Didn't Chen En say that before?

Robin always kept up with Batman's pace on her own.

Although he wasn't Robin, he still agreed with that point.

Since Chen En isn't taking him along, why doesn't he just follow along himself?
Watching Conan disappear quickly down the street with his skateboard.

Ai Haibara's gaze lingered for a moment.

She hesitated for a moment, then gave up the idea of ​​following him. After all, Gin was still in Tokyo, and if she went out and ran into him, it would be terrible if he recognized her.

That guy seems to have some kind of twisted feeling towards her.

She's reluctant to deal with Gin unless absolutely necessary.

------

Right now, in the warehouse.

Gin's fingers gently touched the surface of his crowbar.

His finger tapped lightly, like the tolling of a death knell, steadily and forcefully pointing to the final hour of death. Sweat beaded on Furuya Rei's forehead; he knew this was the most critical moment. Vodka was probably already using the Dark Baron to forcibly delete his emails.

There is clearly only one person who can save him right now—

Ireland.

To be honest, Rei Furuya knew very well that Gin's biggest characteristic was his lack of integrity.

Not only is he untrustworthy, but Gin also frequently kills his trading partners to keep secrets. He has most likely stumbled upon Gin's secret targeting Ireland.

Given Gin's personality, there is indeed a possibility that he might silence him afterward.

Therefore, he needs the intervention of a third party to survive.

Ireland is the third-party force chosen by Rei Furuya.

He had already learned that Curaçao's death was suspected to be part of Ireland's plan, which would cause Ireland to lose trust in rum, and Ireland was at its weakest point at that time.

If we were to hand over Gin's incriminating evidence at this time, Ireland would surely help him save the life of this witness.

Now all we can do is wait, wait for Ireland to consider things carefully and be willing to help him!
Gin's fingers lightly tapped his earphones.

He is waiting to hear from Vermouth.

If Vermouth has deleted all the data, then he can act now and send this guy, who might be a Japanese Public Security mole, on his way.

His rule has always been "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free," hasn't it?

------

The Dark Baron program is running rapidly on Vermouth's computer.

Her purpose was simple and clear.

That is to delete all the contents of Amuro Tooru's secret mailbox at once. She doesn't need to see what's inside; she just needs to make sure there's nothing there.

However, just as the Dark Baron had deleted most of the content.

The computer running the Dark Baron program suddenly started to freeze.

A look of surprise appeared in Vermouth's eyes.

Although she was responsible for contacting various electronic technology geniuses, she was not an expert in electronics. Even so, she could understand a simple and clear thing.

The Dark Baron is a virus program developed by Itakura Taku.

Since its inception, it has never encountered any opponent and has never experienced any lag, unless the opponent is an electronic technology genius whose skills are in no way inferior to Itakura Taku.

Otherwise, this computer would never have experienced such a special situation.

The sound of vodka came through Vermouth's headphones.

"Vermouth, your IP address appears to be leaked."

"If I were you, I would immediately shut down my computer, just like I already did—"

boom!
A bullet made a hole in the computer screen.

The screen flickered and then dimmed, signaling the end of the computer's lifespan.

Vermouth's expression was somewhat strange.

She now has some doubts about whether the super AI Noah's Ark that appeared in the Beika City Hall was actually destroyed as the AI ​​named Hiroki Sawada claimed.

Otherwise, how could such a genius in the field of electronics suddenly appear, capable of tracing and intercepting sources, or even stealing IP addresses?
Fortunately, she had double insurance.
