Chapter 508: Conan: If You Can't Beat It, Join!
"You've been making a lot of noise lately." Clearing his throat, Conan began to speak stiffly, "I guess, it's not because of my phone call that day, right?" ”
"Huh? What? Noah, who didn't understand what he meant, was stunned, turned his head and looked blankly at the expression on his face, "What phone call that day?" ”
"It's the case of Yonehara-sensei and Minako Mochizuki." Thinking that the euphemistic formulation didn't work, Conan sighed heavily, "Although Joker said that he would pay attention to my affairs because he was concerned about Tang Ze's safety, but this matter has nothing to do with Tang Ze, right?" ”
Of course, because he went skiing with Karasawa and encountered a case together, Karazawa, who has always insisted on his concept of good and evil, stubbornly and briefly shielded Yonehara-sensei out of the right and wrong that he insisted on, so that she finally fulfilled her promise to Minako and killed the second deceased.
Digging deeper, he must have been involved in the case, but the fact that he remained silent in order to help Yonehara Koko has completed the entire process related to the case.
So after thinking about it, he thought that the high-profile action of the strange thief group after the report of this case was inseparable from the phone call he made in confusion.
Noah, who was speechless for a while, didn't know where to start: "......"
How should I tell him that everyone in the Monster Thieves Group actually watched the whole process of the case, and even helped the head of the group to cover up for Yonehara Akiko?
Participating in the case, rather than looking at the detective's face, may be the result of the head of the regiment himself, and everyone is willing to help.
How to say it, you look at the current composition of the Monster Thieves Group, you are good, you are fine.
In an alliance of fathers like them, Akiko Yonehara's behavior will not only not be condemned, but will be highly praised by everyone.
Her experience not only aroused the strong empathy of Moriran and Suzuki Sonoko, which greatly increased the enthusiasm of the two of them, but also made the members of the Monster Thieves feel embarrassed.
"If you want to help them, if you want to prevent this tragedy from happening again, you don't just have it, of course we do." Noah, who was silent for a while, didn't know where to start, so he had to say so.
"However, if I hadn't made a special trip to talk to Joker about this, you would have helped, but it wouldn't have been so big, would it?" Reading a hint of hesitation from Noah's Ark's brief silence, Conan was even more convinced of Fang Cai's guess and shook his head, "There are so many things happening every day in Tokyo, and there are so many things you have to pay attention to. So I have caused trouble for you. ”
Progressing the case step by step, methodically and gradually detonating all the people in the entire chain, this is completely different from the style of the Monster Thieves when dealing with other cases.
This kind of development rhythm of expanding public opinion and creating momentum must have been carefully planned by someone, and they must have put a lot of thought into it.
“…… Knowing we're busy, don't pick this time to play the game, this fake kid! Realizing that it might not make sense to explain the problem, Noah silently rolled his eyes and said angrily.
That is, he is an artificial intelligence, and it is the norm of the computer to divide his consciousness into different sectors and deal with different tasks separately, otherwise he will not have time to play holographic games with idle detectives who have nothing to do!
"Well, I don't mainly want to play, I just want to find a suitable environment to talk to you......" Touching his head, looking at Baker Street in front of him, Conan, who realized that his statement was contradictory, laughed twice.
Running to thank others for being busy because of themselves, but it seems to cause others to be busier or something......
"Forget it, it doesn't matter, running this won't bother me in particular anyway." Noah shook his head and tugged at the beret on his head, "Actually, I haven't had time to write much of the script in detail, and you know that the prototype of this London stage is the case of the Bohemian scandal, and at that time, in order to run the script of the holographic game, the elements of Jack the Ripper were added, even if you come here to play, you won't experience much fun in the game." ”
"Do you mean, the game will continue to be available in the future?" Hearing the implicit meaning of continuing to operate and develop in this passage, Conan was excited at first, and soon became confused.
"It's impossible to open up, and you've seen it, it's not a technology that's suitable for promotion, and we don't plan to promote it." Noah spread his hands, "I only plan to use the principles of hypnosis and suggestion to make some slow-acting 'heart changes', and I don't plan to use it for fun." You're probably one of the few players we have. ”
"That's a shame." Looking up at the exquisite single-family group on the side of the road, Conan sighed sincerely, "This form of experience is really irreplaceable by other games, and it would be great if everyone could experience the charm of Sherlock Holmes." ”
Just look at it, the group of bear children of the Young Detective Group, after such a thrilling game, actually overcame their resistance to boring words, and took Sherlock Holmes seriously, and brought it to the school to get the content to discuss with him, which is enough to show this.
In this holographic game full of substitution, promoting any work must be invincible, right?
Conan pondered for a moment.
It's a pity that Noah's Ark has repeatedly emphasized that hypnosis and suggestion are the inevitable effects of this game mode, or that being able to experience the game so immersively is built on this psychological effect, and for safety reasons, this advanced technology has not yet come out.
It's a pity, it's a pity.
It's all the organization's fault, they even have such strong toxic side effects even in the development of advanced things, it's really a cancer!
"Even if Holmes has a face for you?" Noah teased by pointing to No. 221 in front of him with a gloved finger.
“…… Why don't you change it back! Knowing that the image that the original designer was going to make was Yusaku Kudo, Conan, who was stiff-skinned, protested loudly, "Even if it's my father, it's much more normal than using my face!" ”
"Isn't that a good fit for you, 'Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era'?" Noah tugged at the small cloak on his body and took out this middle two nickname to call him, "What's wrong with being compared to your idol?" ”
At this moment, they are standing in the scene of the model worker with a high appearance rate in Noah's game space, Baker Street.
Although as the controller of the temple, he only needs to move a few ideas to change the rules, even if his image is very cyberpunk, standing on this Victorian English street will not attract much attention, but in order to pursue the role-playing experience, Noah still prepared a costume for himself in a decent way.
A beret, a felt cape, a shirt and a vest, and a pair of small leather gloves to cover the hands full of screws and metal seams, look so decent that you can't see the robot at all.
"Nothing is good! After all, you suddenly changed your character image because you wanted to express the meaning of the content related to us, and it's been so long, why don't you change his face back! Screaming twice, Conan watched as Noah stepped forward and knocked on the door of No. 221.
Obviously I'm a game manager.,It's your freedom to operate the game however you want.,Why is there an inexplicable sense of ritual here.。
"It's joker who said that it wouldn't be lucky to change it back." Noah, who watched the door of No. 221 be opened by the landlady and smiled at her knowingly, replied.
"Not very lucky, you say?" It seems unlucky to say that Sherlock Holmes once died, but didn't Conan Doyle finally give him a good ending due to pressure from readers? Conan thought curiously.
"Because Holmes has been single all his life." Glancing at him with the eyes of a fool, Noah led him upstairs to the living room, "Although Dr. Watson was married for a time, the family situation was not happy in the end...... Don't you think it's a curse to replace the two of them with your dad and Dr. Asasa? ”
"Then is it appropriate to replace it with me and Tang Ze?!" Isn't that even worse! Conan protested even more.
"Isn't that quite appropriate, I don't think you can find a match." "Dr. Watson", who was sitting in front of the fireplace, put down the book in his hand and looked at the two children who came up.
“…… It's so strange that you're dressing up. He looked over excitedly, and then saw Conan of the white-haired and red-eyed joker speechlessly, and couldn't help but complain, "And what about Sherlock Holmes?" I don't mind if you change to me, why don't you let me talk to him? ”
Although, it's a little strange to have a mature version of his own face, but I have to say that the ability of artificial intelligence Noah's Ark to analyze and construct characters may be especially above many mediocre authors, and the Sherlock Holmes he constructed may not necessarily be the version that best matches the image of the original work, but it is also very charming.
Conan, who was about to hypnotize himself and pretend to be his father a little younger, was disappointed again, and couldn't help but sigh loudly.
"There's no way, Mr. Holmes's mood has changed a little since the last fire, and he is traveling outside to relax, and he can't meet the fans' photo needs for the time being." Spread his hands, Tang Ze sincerely said that he couldn't help.
This is not a lie, although the puppets in the hall are controlled by the master of the temple and can be created and destroyed by Noah at any time, but Holmes, as an important role, is still filled with shadows in the core, and has a little bit of his own operating logic.
Finally cultivated a stronger shadow, and Noah cherishes it now.
ruthlessly tore the shadow of his last miniboss, that is, Tang Ze of Jack the Ripper, and indeed did not have that position to object, so he could only let it go.
Conan, who was not very convinced, looked at Noah suspiciously, and then at the joker who was very serious, and looked around at the living room that was very similar to the description of the original work, and sighed heavily.
"Forget it, I wasn't meant to be playing." Saying this not very sincerely, Conan withdrew his reluctant eyes on the bullet-riddled wallpaper, looked at Joker sitting on the sofa in front of him, and said, "I have some new ideas about the topic of last time. ”
"Last time, you mean, about what detectives can do?" Tang Ze, who was a little surprised, put aside the book resting on his lap and sat up a little straighter, "What, do you have a new high view?" Then I'll listen to you. ”
Even if the leader of the Strange Thieves Regiment is so busy that he can't really relax here in response to the detective's call to wait for someone in the game, and his feet don't touch the ground.
He was ostensibly reading a book, but in fact he was flipping through the current progress of the incident that Noah had helped him sort out, as well as the details of several other campus death cases with similar elements captured from social platforms.
Just like he told Conan, if you only deal with the case of Minako Mochizuki, I think this may be a special case that has aroused the attention of the strange thief group, and there will definitely be perpetrators involved in school bullying or similar situations who are lucky.
In order to further deepen the impression that if he did so, he would be subject to a water meter check, and Tang Ze planned to start handling two other similar cases at the same time in the next step.
A school, even if it is a primary school where the students are very young, is a small society that claims to be a system.
The operating rules here are different from the real social scene, but they are also full of good and evil caused by the environment, and even because the participants are children, the unprovoked evil and the chaotic malice of the herd will be more pure and darker.
It is also very challenging to pick out the representative ones among these vast cases that can be taken out as a derivative product of the case, but as the decision-maker of the Monster Thieves Group, this is what Tang Ze must do.
However, after all, he is not a bare-bones commander now, he chooses the right object, Noah plans the path to change his mind, and his teammates go out in a car to stop at the stations along the way to fight monsters according to the table, he is already much more relaxed than at the beginning, and it is not a big problem to take some time to meet with the detective who strongly asks to meet.
"Yes, I have some new ideas." Serious, Conan said in a deep voice, "Since the detective can only chase after the puzzle, we are destined to appear only after the dust settles and untie the scattered yarn, which is of course a fact.
"But I think if detectives weren't so reactive, if we could be proactive in finding problems and doing something before it's irreparable...... Things will be different. ”
At this, his eyes shook slightly.
Someone, something, flew through his mind.
If, three years ago, Minako Mochizuki's death puzzle could attract enough detectives, or for example, the fire on Moonshadow Island ten years ago would have attracted the attention of a certain "Sherlock Holmes......
Of course it will be different.
Since the mission of detectives is to detective and probe, find out the truth of the incident, wash away grievances, and say what they want to tell the world for the victims who are no longer able to speak......
"The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, followed by now." Quoting a famous quote, Conan seriously, "Of course, we can't predict when the case will come, but if we can find a way to solve some of the problems of the past, then at the very least, we can prevent the tragedy in front of us." ”
Raising his eyebrows, Tang Ze showed a rather interesting expression: "Listen to what you mean, you have already gained something?" ”
Conan's statement is actually not difficult to understand.
To put it bluntly, detectives are basically passive.
They are detectives, not police dogs, they can't always look for all kinds of bizarre events all over the country with nothing to do, lick their faces and come together to solve the case, the detectives basically accept the client's request, or they are just in ordinary life, they will come into contact with all kinds of cases.
It's the case that touches the porcelain detectives, and their appearance is like pushing down the dominoes, which is the origin of the physique of the incident.
But what if there is a detective who is so socially responsible, who takes the initiative to smell the wind and rain that is coming, and takes the first step to solve the source of grievances?
"Yes, I've learned something...... That's what you inspired me. ”
Conan coughed a little embarrassed and slowly took out his mobile phone - it's really strange, why can the mobile phone be used in the game, is Noah's Ark's simulation ability so outrageous?
"Before you set up the Monster Thief Channel, you were surrounded by Uncle Maori to see the signs of so many cases, didn't you? The Monster Thief Channel gives you a proactive approach, which is similar to a detective's agency. It's just that when I find the commission of the detective, it is difficult to find you and expect you to 'change your mind' in such a timely manner. So ......"
Tang Ze, who listened to what he meant, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Listen to you, did you find something on our rogue channel?"
Good guys, detectives are just flexible, huh?
I was just persuaded by the strange thief to specialize in the art industry in a few serious words, and the detective has done his best, and the detective who has pondered for a night understands a real-world operation logic at the speed of light-
If you can't beat it, join in.
If the thieves can use their own intelligence channels and newly opened websites to prosper and keep their feet on the ground, there is no reason why detectives can't?
"Ahem, this is not all my own discovery." Knowing that he didn't greet a single one, Conan, who was making small moves here, did blush a little, and quickly showed the mobile phone page in his hand, "I, please Doctor helped me make a keyword search applet, and summarized the truth of the accidental death with various suspicions on the Monster Thief Channel, thinking that if you don't deal with it, it will soon lead to greater consequences, and there are also messages that question the investigation results of the vicious case...... I think this message is quite valuable. ”
Although there is no cost to anonymous speech on the Internet, and there is a lot of misleading information, Conan is not only able to receive all the messages on the Internet.
In his own family, there is still his father who has worked tirelessly to collect case files from all over the world for more than ten or twenty years!
As long as you can find out the parties to even one incident from it and solve the past unsolved cases for them, then there is likely to be one less Akiko Yonehara who is comfortable with nightmares in the world.
Taking his mobile phone, Tang Ze fixed his eyes on the message on the bulletin board.
[Can you really make people change their minds?] Is it okay to make a mistake no matter how long ago it was?
A friend of mine, and me, we have made a great mistake in twenty years, and we have caused an unforgivable tragedy......
But he has always refused to admit that this is his fault for so many years, and I, because I am involved, do not dare to take the initiative to break this point.
I'm in pain. Help me, let me, him, anyone, pay the price for the mistakes of the year.
In recent years, his mind has become deeper and deeper, and if he doesn't stop him in time, maybe something more terrible will happen.
Please, really please.
If you need a name......
Nagato Hideto, Nagato Bright. 】
Oh no!
Tang Ze's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
