He's in Detective Conan, and he's the mastermind behind everything.

"Did the guest forget anything?"

The proprietress walked over with a smile and asked.

"Wine, sake."

Without looking up, Ying Sheng flipped her fingers and handed her two Fukuzawa Yukichi cards: "I want something refreshing and tasteless. Take it with you."

"Okay."

The proprietress took the money, beaming as she walked away. A few minutes later, Hotaru, with his eyes closed and rubbing his temples, dialed Amuro Tooru's number from the back seat of the taxi.

"what……

"Mr. Amuro, you have truly disappointed me."

Chapter 228 Drug A: Human Skin Mask - Technology is the Primary Productive Force!

“I don’t understand what you mean, Mr. Mizuki. They are all excellent programmers,” Amuro said.

"Maybe, but have you seen the development cycle they gave us?" Ying Sheng said with some annoyance. "Two years, one year, six months, the fastest one takes two months, and they can only provide a development version, without guaranteeing stability and effectiveness."

"Oh my god, Mr. Amuro, don't you know that Ran only has two days left in her karate training?"

"........."

Amuro Tooru was somewhat speechless: "Mr. Mizuki, I assure you, with Miss Ran's abilities, she probably doesn't need this."

Furthermore, software development naturally takes time and cannot be accomplished overnight. If someone claims they can produce software immediately, they are undoubtedly a fraud.

"Well, I must thank Mr. Amuro for sparing my life. I am indeed a bit agitated right now."

"I'm a licensed private investigator, and my reputation is very important. Mr. Shuiyue, have you encountered some trouble?"

"It's not too troublesome, it's just that I didn't get enough rest, and I have to go to a party tonight." Ying Sheng yawned again. "Never mind, Mr. Amuro, let's get back to the martial arts software. I actually have an idea, do you think it's feasible?"

"Please say."

"Here's the thing, have you ever played Go on a video game console? The difficulty level there is higher than most people's Go skills. It's said that if the human brain can calculate three to five moves ahead, it's considered quite good, while computer programs can easily calculate ten moves ahead."

I think that soon we'll have intelligent robots that can surpass the best human capabilities; the power of technology is truly amazing.

Mr. Amuro, do you understand what I mean?

Amuro said, "Of course, Mr. Suigetsu wants to simplify the software requirements, abandoning the precise determination of the angles and forces of martial arts movements, and just using them as fixed inputs like chess moves, so that the computer can provide the best response strategy."

"Yes, that's it. Treat all those high-level kicks, back kicks, turns, and feints as standard opening moves, then find a ready-made Go software and modify it. I think that should be quick, and hopefully we can get it out tomorrow."

"........."

Amuro Tooru suddenly felt that the guy on the other end of the phone was just like some unreliable clients, insisting that an amateur instruct an expert. What kind of ridiculous request was that!

"Excuse my bluntness, Mr. Shuiyue, but even if you could create something like this, it would be extremely inflexible. If you give it to Miss Lan, it would only slow down her reaction speed, make her sluggish, and lower her chances of winning."

Ying Sheng sighed: "How could I possibly give Ran such an unreliable half-finished product? Mr. Amuro, there are knowledgeable spectators outside the venue."

Xiaolan will definitely be fine in tomorrow's game. I will compare the actual results with the computer program's deductions to consider the best choice at that time, and then give my advice.

In short, the CPU is mainly the human brain; I just need a framework, and I can improve the computer program later.

"Sigh, I'm sorry, I know my previous demands were too unreasonable."

"In this case……"

Amuro Tooru pondered for two seconds, and a name popped into his mind: "Itakura Suguru, he is a very talented game system engineer, and he is currently developing three board games: shogi, chess, and go. He must have a lot of data."

"Can I ask him for help? I can pay for the queue-jumping fee, overtime pay, and express fee."

"On this point, I'm sorry, but one of the gentlemen who commissioned him to develop the program was very rude and wouldn't let me get close to him."

"what?"

Ying Sheng said impatiently, "Then why are you telling me about him? Aren't there any other candidates?"

Amuro said, "If it's due by tomorrow morning, I think only he can do it."

"Then can I continue to ask Mr. Amuro for help? Money is not a problem."

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Shuiyue. I will contact you later."

"Thanks."

The phone hangs up.

Ying Sheng closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time before letting out a sneer.

Tsk, we're really on the same page. Amuro Tooru is definitely curious about Itakura Suguru too, he's just waiting for him to show up.

It's unclear whether he recognized the tequila or discovered something fishy from elsewhere.

what……

How can we attract the winery's attention?

Ying Sheng smiled slightly, a guess emerging in his mind.

He has a need to exhaustively calculate the material ratio for human skin masks using computer programs.

Junelek said that the brewery was wasting Sherry’s talent, as the simple experiments could be easily done even by a novice.

Gin said that Sherry was important, but not as important as he thought, and that at a crucial moment, he had Tequila take over his job.

In conclusion, is there such a possibility?

The software that the brewery had Itakura Taku developed was actually used to simulate the development of drug A, and was used to exhaustively extrapolate the simple experiment Junerek mentioned.

Ying Sheng thought that the possibility seemed quite high.

After all, while human genes are complex, when you break them down mathematically, they are not much more complicated than the black and white lines and nineteen grids of Go.

For exhaustive calculations of this kind of thing, computing power is more important than the program itself.

Even if Itakura Taku has limited talent, he could still develop software that simply can't run on a home computer. After all, with the power of the brewery, they can rent a supercomputer.

Ah, once you think about it this way, the logic becomes clear.

Then the task at hand becomes quite simple.

Ying Sheng dialed another person's number, and it took about half a minute for the call to be answered. The person who answered sounded listless.

"What is it now? She's taking a shower."

"You're not really going to wash it ten times, are you?"

"Of course not, I'll keep washing."

"Until when?"

"Waiting for you to come back."

"It's best not to go then, at least not tomorrow. Has anyone been inside the house?"

"There were some clues, but nothing too serious. You left your house completely undefended, so that person probably didn't find what they were looking for. What are they looking for? Hotaru-kun, could you satisfy my curiosity?"

"It's a simple signal relay station, just in case, I put it outside," Ying Sheng said with a smile. "Now, I have a favor to ask of you."

"Hey—what is it now? Mr. Moon really doesn't know how to be considerate of people."

"If everything goes smoothly, you will be able to acquire the art of disguise much faster."

"Ok?"

Kiyoko immediately perked up: "Is it about self-study? Or can you catch Vermouth?"

"Anything is possible. In any case, the worst-case scenario is that you just go out for a walk."

"Hmm, how exactly do I do it?"

"As a same-city express delivery service, you pick up an item, deliver it to a location, and then watch the show, and that's it."

"OK, come pick me up downstairs."

"almost there."

Chapter 229 Ying Sheng's Case-Solving Skills Are Always Simple

After finding out Hirota Masami's home address, Hotaru, wearing a mask and sun hat, went straight to the door.

dong dong dong——!

"Is anyone there? I need to check the water meter."

"What? Who?"

A woman's voice came from inside the door. Ying Sheng waited for ten seconds, and the door opened. A short, plump woman with a puzzled look on her face appeared.

Ying Sheng pointed his gun: "Your husband's affair has been exposed. Is he home now? Take me there immediately."

The wife's expression immediately turned terrified.

She led Ying Sheng to the door of a room and knocked urgently: "Grandpa, someone is looking for you."

No one answered.

Ying Sheng stepped forward and turned the handle; it was locked.

"Okay, so you're playing the resisting arrest game, huh?"

Ying Sheng pulled his wife away, and under her horrified gaze, kicked the door open. The next second, both of them froze.

Books were scattered all over the floor in the center of the room. An elderly man with white hair was buried under the books, and a pool of blood had formed under his head.

The woman's pupils dilated, her body trembled uncontrollably, and she screamed, "Ah—!!!"

Ying Sheng, having anticipated this, covered her ears and scanned the room, wondering where the magnetic disk could be.

Huh?

“Madam, stop wailing. The murderer is still at the scene. Your husband was just attacked not long ago. Quickly call 119 for an ambulance. Maybe it's not too late.”

After saying this, Ying Sheng took a step forward and bumped into the door that was half against the wall.
