Serabelle turned off the engine and pulled the handbrake. Her hand that was pulling out the key stopped under the steering wheel. After a little thought, she gave the former explanation that was easier to understand.

"First of all, you know Dr. Agasa, so this is Dr. Agasa's home, and it is also the current residence of your two cousins."

"Oh……"

Sera Masumi nodded, not quite understanding.

Serabelle unbuckled her seat belt and just as she put her hand on the door handle, she suddenly remembered something and turned around.

"I might need to talk to Dr. Agasa for a while after I go in, Masumi, do you want to come in with me?"

"Okay, okay~"

Without any hesitation, Sera Masumi unbuckled her seat belt and consciously stretched out her hands as if asking for a hug.

Serabelle: "..."

I always feel that this girl is becoming more and more skilled and unscrupulous in acting coquettishly when she is with him.

ding dong~

A moment later, as a clear and pleasant doorbell rang at the entrance of the living room of Agasa's house, the main door of the villa opened, and Dr. Agasa, wearing a white coat and with an increasingly plump figure, walked out quickly.

"Come on, Sera... eh?"

When he saw the young man holding a big Sera cat in his hands through the iron railings outside the gate, he couldn't help but raise his thick gray eyebrows in surprise.

"Oh, isn't this Zhenchun? What happened? Is everything okay?"

Masumi Sera continued to be carried like a princess, smiling awkwardly and waving her hands.

"It's nothing, I just sprained my ankle accidentally, I'll be fine after resting at home for two days~"

“Yes, that’s right.”

Seeing that Dr. Agasa still looked uneasy, Serabell continued.

"I actually wanted to send her home to rest, but she happened to be called to the Metropolitan Police Department by Inspector Akahima... Inspector Megure, and then I got a call from you, Professor Agasa, right after the meeting, so I came here directly."

"Oh oh..."

Dr. Agasa nodded and agreed without thinking too much.

But I still can't help but feel a little confused subconsciously.

What do you mean by "I wanted to send her home to rest"? Where were they when she sprained her ankle? Weren't they at home?

Fortunately, Dr. Agasa, who had been a magician for most of his life, did not think of the matter in a wrong way and just let it go.

The view turns to Agasa's house.

In the living room, Sera Masumi, who had "sprained her ankle", was arranged to sit on the sofa. Dr. Agasa enthusiastically poured her a glass of orange juice, and then he and Serabell went to the "bar" where he usually entertained some little ones.

The computer that Dr. Agasa uses is just inside the bar.

After pressing Enter several times on the keyboard to exit sleep mode, Dr. Agasa clicked on an icon on the desktop that was familiar to both of them, and spoke while the application was loading.

"This is it."

"Oh~"

Serabelle clapped softly.

"Really looking forward to it."

After a few reading bars were loaded, the application opened quickly. The overall interface had not changed much from a few months ago, except that there were a few more functions in the upper column.

For example, there is an additional "Login" option.

"What exactly is this login..."

"Well, Sera-kun, you'll know if you read on."

Dr. Agasa said as he moved the cursor to the login option and clicked it lightly.

The next second, a new page popped up with three input items: URL, account, and password.

Then Dr. Agasa entered the information in the three boxes respectively. Serabelle watched the whole process and roughly recognized that the URL column seemed to be filled in with some URL of the Transportation Bureau. As for the account and password, although he didn't know the detailed principle, he could basically confirm that it was not Dr. Agasa's own.

Because even if we put aside the account number, just looking at the password you can tell that it was set by someone else. It is a classic combination of a Japanese name and a birthday.

After entering, click Confirm.

In an instant, countless surveillance images appeared on the screen, dividing Dr. Agasa's 32-inch computer screen into small squares.

"This is……"

Serabelle's brows jumped.

Dr. Agasa rubbed his nose with a slightly smug look on his face.

"This is the entire Tokyo traffic monitoring network. As for the account and password I just entered, I borrowed it from a friend who is also doing research at the Transportation Bureau. He is also responsible for a similar area of ​​intelligent recognition, but the target is license plates. After all, scientists will help each other and experiment with some new things. Sometimes we will exchange internal accounts with each other... Of course, I don't have an internal account to lend to them, but I can help them solve the problem, so-"

That’s all I have to say. Those who understand will understand.

Serabelle hesitated for a moment, recalling the camera's recognition function that she discovered the last time she tested this thing, and pointed to the screen.

"That means now it can..."

"Yes."

Dr. Agasa put his hands on his hips and laughed up to the sky.

"Now this thing can be used to find people across Tokyo with just one photo."

"...Does Kudo Shinichi know?" asked Serabelle.

"Ah, I haven't told Shinichi what he said yet."

Dr. Agasa restrained himself and scratched his face.

"The main thing is that Shinichi becomes impulsive once he encounters something related to a case, especially when it comes to the Black Organization. If I tell him this, he might become even more impulsive when he encounters the organization next time, for example, disregarding his own safety in order to take photos..."

Also.

Serabelle shook her head slightly, took out her cell phone from her clothes and opened the photo of Jack Waltz that Shuichi Akai had sent her earlier.

"Then let me try it first."

Chapter 616 Yukiko: So he was dating the high school girl next door?

Import your photos and start searching.

As the words "Searching" popped up on the software page on the computer screen, the atmosphere in the bar became increasingly tense.

Of course, the one who was most nervous was Dr. Agasa.

When they first got the software, it was a semi-finished product, not even a test version. At best, it had the most core functions, which was equivalent to a car with only the engine, gearbox and chassis, and nothing else.

If you say it can be opened, theoretically it can be opened.

But to say that it can be used normally... bullshit.

Although it has been completed by Dr. Agasa, it is only the first version, and can even be regarded as an internal test version. In theory, it can be used normally, but no one can say whether it can be used normally.

So you still have to test.

"Um... um..."

Inside the bar, Dr. Agasa leaned his elbows on the table, hunched over, his eyes wide open as he stared at the image on the screen, murmuring anxiously, his hands subconsciously clasped together in a gesture of prayer.

Serabelle glanced at him wordlessly and changed the subject casually.

"By the way, Doctor, I don't think Miss Miyano and the others are home?"

"Oh, if you mean Mingmei and Ai, they're out shopping..."

Dr. Agasa answered instinctively.

"In fact, I only go out occasionally. After all, even though it's been so long, there are various signs that the organization is still active in Japan. Ai is a little better because of the medicine that made her body shrink. The more embarrassing one is Mingmei... Oh, it would be great if this app could be successfully developed. In this way, we can often scan the cameras throughout Tokyo to determine the recent movements of the organization and improve security."

"..."

Serabelle was silent.

The reason why he brought up Miyano Akemi was just to change the subject to ease Dr. Agasa's nervousness, but he didn't expect that the latter would go around in circles and abruptly turn the topic back to Itakura Taku's software.

Then the tension continued, just like before.

"Actually, it's normal even if we can't find it." Serabel said after thinking for a while.

But Dr. Agasa didn't listen at all and interrupted directly.

"It's okay, don't worry, it will succeed!"

"That's not what I meant..."

Serabelle held her forehead with her hand.

"I mean, the software currently only covers Tokyo, but the person in the photo I input may not be in Tokyo now."

"……Eh?"

Dr. Agasa was stunned for two seconds, and suddenly an exclamation mark appeared above his head.

"Not in Tokyo? What do you mean?"

"That's what it means."

Serabelle took out her cell phone again and flipped through it, opening the file about Jack Waltz that Shuichi Akai had sent her earlier.

"Doctor, haven't you watched the news recently? It's about the sniper attack on Timothy Hunter. Jack Waltz is also one of the targets who is expected to be killed. Before that, he was under police protection in a hotel in Kyoto, but he has been missing since this morning. So it is speculated that he may have been tricked by the murderer to come to Tokyo like the last victim, but no one can say for sure whether he has arrived or not."

"That's it..."

Dr. Agasa nodded, not quite understanding.

However, just as he was about to ask further questions, the waiting interface on the computer screen that originally said "Searching" suddenly flashed and automatically changed to the words "Search completed".

Then six surveillance screenshots appeared flat on the screen.

And in every screenshot there is a fat blond American man wearing sportswear, and that is Jack Waltz.

"Oh, I see, it's him. I didn't expect he would actually come to Tokyo."

Serabelle clapped her hands.

The six screenshots on the screen were arranged in chronological order from left to right. He used the mouse to click on the first screenshot.

That was in Tokyo's high-speed rail station. The time in the screenshot was 9:45 in the morning.

This means that this guy had already come to Tokyo long before the Kyoto police discovered that Jack Waltz was missing.

Then in the second screenshot, at 10:30 in the morning, the camera location has shifted to the Tokyo Bay Pier, and Jack Waltz is walking into the port in the picture.

And the third photo is still of Tokyo Bay Pier. At 10:40 in the morning, Jack Waltz came out of the pier with a guitar bag on him.

"That bag..."

Dr. Agasa noticed this with his sharp eyes.

Serabelle hummed.

"Maybe he made a deal with someone. I think the guitar bag contains a sniper rifle. After all, since he came to Tokyo, it means he came alone to kill the murderer. It would be strange if he didn't bring any equipment."

Then the fourth one, at 10:45 am, Jack Waltz is walking on the streets of Tokyo.

In the fifth photo, at 11 o'clock in the morning, Jack Waltz appeared at the entrance of the subway station.

The sixth one, it is now 11:10, Jack Waltz is standing on the subway platform with the ticket in his hand.

Hmm? Tickets?

As if with telepathy, Serabelle raised her eyebrows slightly and immediately turned the mouse wheel to enlarge the picture.

Fortunately, the camera at the subway station was high-definition and successfully captured the words on the ticket.

【Destination——Asakusa Station】

Asakusa…

In other words, the murderer had made an appointment to confront Jack Waltz at the center gate?
