Chapter 167: Attacking the Shell
"Ghost in the Shell..."
"The world of cyberpunk sci-fi, but it seems to be different..."
"All in all, have fun.."
--- dividing line
"Section chief, the suspect in the 312 gas terrorist attack has been locked, and it can be determined that this person is a refugee from the Kyushu refugee area, and he will choose to carry out a retaliatory terrorist attack because he is dissatisfied with the way the authorities handle the refugees."
In the Ninth Section of the Eastern Capital Public Security, Ishikawa, the head of the intelligence team, handed a document to the section chief, Daisuke Aramaki.
"Where's the others?"
"I have absconded back to the Nagasaki refugee area in Kyushu, but the level of electronic refugee areas is very low, and it is difficult to find them in detail."
"Tell Suko to come in."
"Yes, section chief."
...
"Section Chief, you're looking for me."
"You've read this information."
"Looked."
"Recently, the Cabinet has been divided on the handling of the refugee issue, and the refugee issue has been put on hold, and in principle, violent agencies are not allowed to go to the refugee areas in Kyushu without authorization, but I personally do not want to see this person continue to go unpunished."
"Are you going to let me assassinate them secretly?"
Motoko Kusanagi did not raise any objections to Daisuke Aramaki, the relationship between her and Daisuke Aramaki was more like that of the head of the family and a samurai in ancient times, and it didn't matter if the head of the family was loyal to the emperor or not, she was only loyal to Daisuke Aramaki alone.
Besides, she also has a little bit of political acumen, and during this sensitive period, whether there is any hint from the cabinet on the side of her own section chief, it's really hard to say, after all, the power given by the cabinet to the nine classes is actually a bit too big, called the nine classes of public security, but it is at the same level as the Dongdu Security Committee, the highest system of the police system, and directly obeys the cabinet.
"He's going to die in the Eastern Capital."
Daisuke Aramaki crossed his hands in front of his lower abdomen.
"For the sake of secrecy, you are destined to not get technical support from the headquarters for this task, and you can only disconnect the network throughout the whole process."
"I'll take care of it."
"Well, thank you for your hard work.."
...
"What, let you go to Kyushu alone, the electronic brain can't be connected to the Internet yet?"
In the office, Bart, the leader of the Ninth Lesson Combat Squad, couldn't help but wave his arms.
"Let's not talk about danger or not, the refugee area extends in all directions, and if you want to find someone on your own, it's simply looking for a needle in a haystack."
"Don't worry, I'll find help."
"Who? Me? ”
"I took you to the demolition of the refugee area?"
Motoko Kusanagi gave Bart a blank look.
"Huh.."
"I'll contact Dancing Fly."
"Boss Suzi, do you still know him?"
On the side, Ishikawa, the leader of the intelligence team, asked curiously.
"What, is he famous? How I don't know. ”
Bart looked confused.
"It's normal for an old man like you to be out of touch with society, with a mental age of sixty, and who only knows how to walk your dog after work... Wrong, wrong, wrong..."
Slapped Bart's naked strand, Ishikawa tapped the keyboard a few times and called up a piece of information.
Name: Dancing and Flying
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Appearance: Unknown
Occupation: Mercenary
Currently active: Kyushu District
Ability: Pure natural person, including no electronic brain modification, but has a more powerful destructive power than a prosthetic person, once caught a psychopathic killer who has undergone full-body prosthetic transformation, and when handed over to the police, the limbs of the modified person have been torn off, according to the analysis, it was torn off by his hands, suspected psionic (Note 1).
Character profile: chaotic and kind, the task never involves ordinary people, in his own words, only take the business of the rivers and lakes...
After reading this information, Bart nodded slowly, as a natural person, he can defeat the transformation of the whole body prosthesis, which in itself is a proof of his strength, you know, almost all people in the nine lessons are full-body prosthetic transformation people, basically can ignore all bullets, if combined with the use of psionic plug-in modules (Note 2), it can even resist the attack of rocket artillery, even if the degree of transformation of the perverted killer cannot be compared with them, but its strength will never be low.
"But... Ishikawa, isn't there a picture of this? ”
Bart pointed to the one-inch photograph in the intelligence, the kind of man who looked unremarkable, the kind that no one would even notice in the crowd.
"You click on it and take a look.."
"Huh?"
Ba nodded for a moment, and in an instant a photo turned into a stack of photos, although they were all men, but each one looked completely different.
"This person has the ability to transform his body shape and facial appearance, and it is estimated that it is also related to psionic energy."
"Then why didn't you write it in your intelligence?"
"Don't you think it's more handsome to click like this?"
“...”
"Also, what does this Jianghu mean..."
"Jianghu is a description of the disorderly society of the Xia Du people, if a person abides by the law, then he is not a person in the rivers and lakes, on the contrary, if you use illegal means to make profits, then you are considered to have stepped into the rivers and lakes, but where does this word come from, it is impossible to verify.."
"Is he from Xiadu?"
"I don't know, but he must have been taught by the culture of the summer capital, although his name is also four words, but it does not conform to the naming rules of the Eastern Capital, this is a phrase, its meaning is probably wanton dancing, free flying..."
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, turn on the incognito mode and contact him."
"Yes, Boss Suzi!"
"Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot ~"
"Hey."
On the phone, there was a somewhat lazy voice, as if he had just woken up, but Motoko Kusanagi didn't take it seriously, after all, every time he saw this man, he would change his appearance, including the voice.
"I have an assignment, meet offline, where are you?"
In order to prevent the other party from recording and the like, Motoko Kusanagi did not identify herself, but she believed that the other party should know who she was, because the commission about the perverted killer was entrusted by her privately, and when there are some things inconvenient to do as a policeman, the underground world is the best partner.
"I'm in the Eastern Capital."
"Eastern Capital?"
Motoko Kusanagi was slightly surprised, as far as she knew, this man rarely came back to Dongdu, and rarely took on business related to Dongdu.
"Well, there are some things to deal with, and I'll meet tomorrow morning at the café on the first floor of the Rice Flower Town Hotel."
"Okay."
"Doodoo~~"
"Ishikawa, are there any missions related to the Eastern Capital in the underground world lately?"
"The bounty class didn't find out that if he came to carry out a mission, it should be some kind of one-on-one secret mission similar to ours, but since he is willing to meet with the boss tomorrow morning, it means that his mission should be over, but there is no special report in the news, so I suspect that he is probably here to deal with some personal matters."
"Private matters... What's been special going on in Dongdu lately? ”
"If anything, it's probably the death of Shinichi Kudo, a detective in Toto, who said on the news that the body was found on the side of the road and died of electronic encephalosclerosis. (Note 3)"
"Where's his house?"
"Rice Flower Town, Tokyo..."
...
On the side of the road, Fugui hung up the phone and casually flagged down a taxi.
"2-chome 21-jibanji."
"Yes, sir, please get in the car."
...
"Sir, it's time to get there."
After driving for about twenty minutes, the taxi slowly stopped, and the driver wanted to say something, such as a pleasant journey, but when he saw the wreath placed outside the destination, he couldn't help but close his mouth, in the Eastern Capital, only when someone in the family died, these things would be placed at the gate.
"How much."
"Five thousand three hundred and ten Dongdu silver dollars, are you swiping a credit card, or..."
Fugui directly took out six silver dollars with a face value of 1,000 and handed them to the taxi driver.
"No need to look for it."
"Hi, thank you..."
'Different worlds, different technological environments, the price of a taxi is still the same..'
Stepping out of the car, Fugui couldn't help but complain, of course, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he couldn't feel sorry for the taxi fee, it was just a kind of complaint about this obviously deformed price...
Walking into the gate, there are also some wreaths in the courtyard, two people sitting under the parasol, and an account book on the table in front of him.
"I'm a friend of Kudo Shinichi, and I'm here to worship him, and this is a gift money."
Fugui took out a black envelope from his bosom and handed it to the two men.
"Excuse me with your name.."
"Dancing and flying.."
...
"Ding~"
Fugui walked into the living room, which had been transformed into a mourning hall, where candles were burning and incense was wafting, and several monks were reciting unknown scriptures, and when someone came in, one of them struck a brass bell.
"You are..."
Not far from the coffin, Mao Lilan, who was dressed in a black funeral dress, knelt there alone, looking at Fugui's eyes a little confused, because she had never seen this man.
"My name is Light Dance Feiyang, and if I am his friend, I will come and pay respects."
"Dancing and flying..."
Maolilan's pupils shrank, then nodded slowly.
"You've got a heart.."
"Condolences.."
Glancing at Kudo Shinichi in the coffin, Fugui took out a business card from his arms.
"If you encounter any problems that can't be solved in the future, you can call this number, I owe him a favor."
"Thank you..."
Maolilan, who was kneeling there, bowed deeply.
"Goodbye..."
Conan-chan, I didn't expect that he would come to Shinichi's funeral.
Mao Lilan tilted her head slightly, looking at the empty side, but in her eyes, there was a little boy kneeling there, but this little boy was expressionless, as if he were a machine...
"How did Shinichi know him?"
"Light Dance Feiyang, I went to Kyushu District about half a year ago to catch the perverted murderer, and the main artificial vine Shinichi also happened to be handling the case in Kyushu District at that time, and by chance, I helped him reason some information."
Receiving Maoliran's order, the little boy replied in an extremely stiff tone, as if it were the same artificial assistant that had basically no intelligence many years ago.
"So, is this what the people of Xia Du call a gentleman's friendship?"
Mao Lilan muttered, but the little boy didn't answer, after all, as a human assistant, the premise for wanting to start was to call his name.
"Conan-chan."
"Sister Xiaolan, I'm here."
"Reasoning, why did he give me a business card?"
"Okay, Sister Xiaolan."
The little boy's eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke after a moment.
"Electronic encephalosclerosis requires a process, and the conclusion is that the owner half a year ago either did not get sick, even if he got sick, it was the mildest symptom, and it should not deteriorate so quickly, so, with the ability to dance lightly, I have probably guessed that the owner died of an accident, not a disease, so it is reasonable to speculate that you, as a family member of the owner, are also likely to encounter danger."
"To the accident is a gentle and good person."
Putting away the business card, Mao Lilan sighed a little tiredly, her life in the past few days can be described as a roller coaster, first learned the news that her boyfriend was dead on the street, and then her boyfriend's electronic brain directly invaded her electronic brain, leaving behind an intelligent assistant called Conan.
She's just a muscular, simple-minded girl herself, and she doesn't have much of anything other than being able to fight, so thanks to the help of this little guy named Conan, she didn't make any jokes..
"Conan-chan, what should I do if I want revenge?"
After a long silence, Mao Lilan sat up straight, if it weren't for Conan's existence, she wouldn't think about revenge, because she didn't have that ability and qualification, she couldn't even find where the enemy was, but with Conan-chan's help, if she didn't avenge Shinichi, then she should have committed suicide by caesarean section..
"The master has intercepted quite a lot of information about that organization, and preliminary analysis can determine that the other party has the support of people in the system behind it, so directly disclosing the information will only be destroyed by others, and the relationship will be cleared, the best way is to borrow the other party's power to continue to commit crimes, make things bigger, and hold it hostage with public grievances, so that it is possible to succeed in revenge, and a considerable part of the other party's forces are in Kyushu..."
"Kyushu.."
Mao Lilan couldn't help but fall into the memory, because of the popularity of the Internet and electronic brains, the detective industry has become more and more difficult to do, so a long time ago, her father Maori Kogoro moved his detective agency to Kyushu District.
According to the post-war agreement of the Third World War, Kyushu was used to accept Asian refugees left over from the war, while the Toyoto government was only responsible for accepting refugees and providing them with free electronic brain modification surgery, and basically ignored the rest.
As a result, there was almost no official power in Kyushu, and even some natives of the Eastern Capital who had committed crimes or had gray industrial chains moved to Kyushu, which also led to Kyushu becoming the most chaotic place in the entire Eastern Capital's sphere of influence.
And she also grew up in Kyushu, and she didn't return to the Eastern Capital until she went to university.
"If I go back like this, will it attract attention? Conan-chan. ”
"No, first of all, your studies have ended, and you don't have any job at the moment, and secondly, Sister Xiaolan's boyfriend, who is also my master, Shinichi Fuji, died in Dongdu, as his girlfriend, you are disheartened, and it is also very reasonable to return to Kyushu."
Note 1: After the end of the Third World War, the world began to rebuild order, and then a magical power appeared, which was defined as psionic energy, which is an important energy source that can affect the world after fossils and nuclear energy.
Note 2: The psionic plug-in module is a special equipment artificially created based on the psyker's ability, which can generate different abilities according to different structures.
Note 3: Electronic encephalosclerosis, a brain cell sclerosis disease caused by the rejection of electronic components and brain cells, once the onset occurs, it cannot be treated, but can only be prevented.
