Chapter 509: Joker: I'll show you something good

"Nagato Bright, Nagato Hideto." With a thoughtful look, Tang Ze repeated the names mentioned in the message, and guided Conan to continue, "Well, the information we gathered doesn't seem to cover this kind of information. What's wrong with these two names? ”

Although this was a case that impressed him, Tang Ze was also telling the truth, and the intelligence scope of the Monster Thieves really did not include them.

He does have a long list in his hand, and basically as long as he recalls the case, he will record it, and try it with another world navigation to see if there is any life that can be saved.

Although these cases are glorious milestones in Maori Kogoro's life resume, Tang Ze feels that the detective aura on him is likely to be an inherent attribute, even if there are so many missing pieces, the impact is not great.

In contrast, it is still more valuable to be able to save some people who are not bad.

Even if he knew that the existence of the Monster Thieves had reduced the number of murders he had encountered, he would only raise his hands and feet in agreement.

Fewer anesthetic injections are not harmful to the body.

This method of running away from the library is not guaranteed to cover all cases - some people just eat a good meal, sleep and wake up, find something wrong, and the evil is born to the side of the guts, how did the thief expect this kind of thing - but it did save some people.

For example, Tomoaki Niide, who was supposed to meet Kogoro Mori and Conan in the case, and his father, Yoshiaki Niide, would have died in murder due to emotional entanglements.

Now, he has changed his mind and honestly admitted that his infidelity to his marriage led to the death of his ex-wife. Although the father and son did drift away from morality because of this, and the new Tomoaki also moved out of the house, but the bad guy is still there, isn't it?

Another example is the family tragedy of the Nagato family, because the murderer had evil thoughts after knowing the truth and losing his fiancΓ©, and decided to kill the killer.

However, if Conan himself suddenly had the initiative to intervene before the tragedy happened......

"Do you have any information about it, and his claims are true?"

"I'm not too sure if it's true, but I did find some records in my father's file." Digging through his notes, Conan affirmed, "I used the name he provided as a keyword to do so." The Nagato Hidetomi mentioned here should be the chairman of the Nagato Group, the son of Nagato Michizo. I used his statement as a clue to go back to a case that might have been related to it twenty years ago, and I made some discoveries. ”

This is thanks to Yusaku Kudo's three-story high, piled up with study records...... God knows why his dad collected such an exhaustive news record.

If it's to collect creative materials, how much time does he have to spend every day cutting out newspapers all over Japan......

In a moment of amazement, Conan showed off the newspaper clippings he had photographed.

"Twenty years ago, a fire broke out in the home of a family surnamed Yamato, and the husband and wife were killed in the fire, but only their only daughter survived and was rescued by a passing high school student. The high school student who rescued people was hit in the face by burning wood in the fire, and suffered partial second-degree burns......" Retelling the content of the news he had written down, Conan nodded with certainty, "This family is in a residential area not far from Nagato's house, and Nagato Hidetomi, who seems to have suffered accidental disfigurement, lives in a secluded place and rarely appears in front of people. ”

All this matches his confession in the message.

"Is your inference that the big mistake of twenty years ago mentioned in this message was this fire?" Smiling, Tang Ze tilted his head, "Well, the message from two days ago...... You have a keen sense of smell, detective. ”

As he spoke, Tang Ze glanced in Noah's direction, and unsurprisingly saw the other party shake his head slightly.

The current Bandits are basically on-demand, and as the Changing Hearts business is booming, more and more people have really changed since their teaser, and the reputation of the Bandits is constantly expanding - just look at their increasingly deep subways to confirm this.

However, after Noah takes over the website, he will intercept the names in the messages by default for a different world navigation search, so as to avoid such lonely names from slipping through the net.

"Yes, and I think that's the 'old grudge' that is likely to trigger new cases." Retracting his mobile phone, Conan rubbed the yellowed old newspaper on the screen, and said with emotion, "If this fire was actually caused by Hidetomi Nagato, but he concealed it, then from the victim's point of view, the benefactor to whom he has been grateful for many years is the culprit of the tragedy...... In my opinion, this is the trigger that could well trigger the next tragedy. ”

Tang Ze glanced at Conan and couldn't help but glance at him.

This is the gold content of a famous detective who has handled many murders, not to mention watching hundreds of episodes of bloody dramas?

Not only is he very sensitive to the signs of the case, but he also has a very accurate grasp of the direction of the matter.

"Well, that's a possibility." Nodding seriously, Tang Ze raised his chin towards Noah, "Ark, check the other party's location and verify whether it is one of Nagato Bright or Nagato Hideto." ”

Presumably this is the purpose of Conan finding them, Tang Ze, who is very good at reading air, took the initiative to let Noah act without waiting for him to open his mouth to make a request.

Since Conan himself grabbed their messages with a reptile and found out about the fire twenty years ago, he couldn't have found them to show off.

After a short silence, Noah, whose eyes were constantly flowing with data, nodded: "Well, the poster should be Nagato Hidetomi himself." ”

Conan was stunned, and couldn't help but turn his head and look at Noah, who was staring at a place in the void with an expressionless face.

Although theoretically he knew that Noah's Ark was a strong artificial intelligence that was rampant in the online world, and with the already god-like positioning technology of the Monster Thieves Group, it was like probing for a person's information in the online world, but it was still extremely surprising to really see this kind of efficiency once.

"Location?" Tang Ze, who was not shocked by this basic operation, continued to ask, and gave Noah a look by the way.

It's a rare opportunity, can't you show off your stunts and deter this little detective?

Noah's Ark, which realized it, quickly simulated a translucent map in mid-air, and quickly shortened the distance of the map and marked a location.

"Yokohama City, the residence of the Nagato family." A red dot representing the location flashed on the map, and Noah, who had completed this series of operations, reported the location with his head held high.

Tang Ze touched his chin and made a thoughtful statement: "Yokohama, that's right." After all, the Nagato family, which is on a par with the Suzuki family, is mainly engaged in the ship transportation trade, and it is true that they will take root in the port city...... Check their network, our little detective needs a little help. ”

"Wait, querying...... Well...... Ah, you can call that black-skinned guy for help. It only took a few minutes before and after, and Noah quickly gave an answer.

Tang Ze, who knew exactly who he was talking about, thought about it, and said with a pause: "Which black skin?" ”

In his coop alone, there is more than one one who looks dark.

Noah, who reacted for a few seconds, couldn't help choking: "Ah, uh, that's it, black-skinned kid......"

Thinking of the scene when Toru Amuro and Hattori Heiji met, Karasawa was amused for a moment before continuing: "Oh, Hattori Heiji. Is their family connected to the Hattori family? ”

Noah, who had been interrupted from his train of thought, glanced at him resentfully, but continued to answer dutifully: "Well, the Nagato family has a lot of contacts with the head of the Osaka Police Headquarters, and Hattori Heizou has a lot of contacts, and he will introduce him on his behalf, and he should be able to meet Nagato Hidetomi himself." ”

Conan, who was said by the two of them, couldn't interject at all: "......"

"Is that how you usually set your goals?" Conan, who had never seen high-tech, didn't understand, but was shocked, "I spent the whole night just sifting through the case records......"

"Well, that's the beauty of a paperless office and an intelligent database. So, that organization needs Noah? Your father's library, I've heard of it, was a dedicated writer who had been collecting all kinds of case materials for so many years. However, if he could use the power of technology a little more like us, it would naturally be more efficient. ”

This is nonsense to deceive children who don't understand technology.

Tang Ze, who used a lot of unscientific means to achieve this outrageous effect, swore nonsense, without the slightest blush.

Of course, it is impossible for a normal database to complete this technique, not to mention Noah's metaphysical power, due to the birth of the mind, Noah directly stepped over the most difficult part of artificial intelligence to understand the world and understand the world.

Of course, a normal computer can't do this, otherwise Google's captcha wouldn't be so troublesome for graphic recognition.

Conan pondered for a moment, and began to imagine the possibility of digitizing his father's library.

Indeed, it makes a lot of sense, now that all kinds of news can be found on the Internet, it is indeed a bit of a delay to continue to use newspaper clippings stupidly.

Well, I wonder if I can borrow Noah's Ark from Joker and help them enter the information......

It happened to be next door, so he didn't have to make a big fuss.

Not knowing that he was in the hands of a joker who was preparing a database of white prostitutes, Conan secretly made a plan, and was going to ask his neighbors when this matter was over.

"Thank you for your information, wait for my good news." Nodding, Conan, who had gained more information than expected, thought about it and said with some hesitation, "This program made by the doctor is still very easy to use, let's continue to use it to crawl your website information, no problem, right?" ”

Although it is an anonymous website, after all, they are taking it without telling it, and Conan, who is somewhat embarrassed, feels that it is still necessary to consult the official opinion of the website.

"Poof...... Noah, who was standing next to him, chuckled and straightened the beret on his head, "You don't think that anyone can flip through our website as much as they want, do you?" The interface you use was specially opened by the leader. Underestimate my ability to protect, you guys. ”

"That's right, you can even use it so accurately...... "Patting his head, Conan suddenly came over, "Well, thank you." ”

"What you did was very correct, and it was the same as our thinking, and it could also make up for our omissions, so why not." Making a gesture of please, Tang Ze said very generously.

Compared to his tiring efforts here to improve the security of the Kexue world, the protagonist of the world himself has a huge motivation to change, and his role must be stronger than them.

Of course, Tang Ze is happy to see it happen.

If it weren't for the blatantness of doing so, he would even dare to open another sub-column for detectives to take orders on the website, which directly opened the door for detectives.

The detective, who had been supported by the improvised idea, touched his head, was a little happy, looked at Noah, who was still waiting beside him, and said, "I just want to tell you about this time." So, since you still have something to do, I won't bother you yet? ”

Tang Ze stood up, handed the book that had been folded and selected the list of next targets to Noah, and picked up the coat resting on the back of the sofa decently: "It's all here, Nagato's house is in Yokohama City, you can't be in a hurry for a while, why don't you play for a while, it's just right, I have something I want you to see." ”

"Something for me to see?"

"Don't worry, it's definitely not a fright this time." Looking at the carriage that had been parked downstairs, Tang Ze smiled.

It just so happened that this time it was also involved in the case of the Nagato family, so it was a good time.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Although he didn't understand where Joker's inexplicable sense of ritual came from, Conan still didn't directly ask the faux pas of "Can't you open a portal and go straight over", and honestly followed Joker, who was dressed in a snow-white dress, and boarded the carriage.

When he saw Joker on weekdays, that is, when he didn't wear the Monster Thief, he was basically very street-style fashion clothes, and at first glance he saw Joker dressed up like this, which was really uncomfortable.

Especially generally speaking, Kidd is the one who wears a white dress, and when he saw Joker's dress today, if he didn't know very well that this was a game world, Kidd couldn't have sneaked in and disguised, he would have thought it was fake.

Considering the strange self-logic of the strange thieves, he got out of the carriage and saw the very familiar theater, and Conan only had the impression of "it was so".

Dressed so solemnly, it must be going to some formal occasion, and they blame the thief like this.

In the familiar theater, there were no guests in the game at that time, and in the dark theater, only the lights on the stage were lonely.

Conan's gaze naturally turned to the stage of the theater.

The actress, dressed in a gorgeous and complicated floor-length dress, stood quietly in the middle of the stage with her back to the direction of the audience.

The melodious sound of the piano echoes through the theater, and at the edge of the spotlight, a tuxedo-clad player sits in front of the piano, his white-gloved fingers darling over the black and white keys.

According to Conan's understanding, the actress who will appear in the theater in this place is afraid that it will be Erin Adler again.

What is there to show him...... I've seen two of them.

Conan, who was dumbfounded, was about to take the initiative to turn around and ask Joker, but his expression froze, and he slowly reacted.

Ah, yes, since Noah's Ark didn't change the Sherlock Holmes and Watson that were set up in the original game, then, this Erin Adler ......

Also, the piano player......

Conan, who realized what was in front of him, could no longer maintain his idle steps under his feet.

He walked faster and faster, more and more urgently, and by the time he crossed the middle of the theater and went to the front of the stage, he was almost running in the field.

The woman, who had always had her back to the audience, turned her head to the sound of his steps getting closer and closer.

"Don't run around the theater, there are a lot of steps, watch your step." Reaching out and taking off the mask on her face, Akemi Miyano looked at Conan with sparkling eyes and smiled gently.

"Miss Masami, and, ......" Conan, who ran to the front of the stage, was excited, panting and looking at the person who was still playing, "Mr. Aso, is that you?" ”

Pressing the last few scales, Asai Narumi withdrew his hand, turned around, looked at Conan's happy and unspeakably lost expression, and bent his eyes: "Just call me Asai." ”

"It's you, you, are you all okay?" After the surprise, Conan, who didn't know where to start for a while, stammered, "Although Joker sent me your photos...... So, you're here now, uh, I didn't mean that......"

Conan, who almost reflexively asked, knowing that their whereabouts must be the biggest secret, immediately stopped talking.

He did receive a group photo from Joker to report that he was safe, but since Masami Hirota's disappearance, Joker has said more than once that she is alive and well, but maybe they will never see each other again.

He was ready to be sent overseas by joker, or hidden in a corner to change his name, so he could only prepare for silent blessings in his heart, but he didn't expect that there would be a moment like this......

"I understand. Thank you, little detective. I've heard about Shiho, too, and anyway, thank you for taking care of her. Akemi Miyano watched him scramble onto the stage and smiled brightly, "Let's call me Akemi." ”

It wasn't the first time she'd seen him since the accident.

As a member of the joker team, as Tang Ze's most important supporters, they often appear around Tang Ze, this Tang Ze's neighbor in all senses, of course, is the object of frequent encounters.

But it is still a very novel experience to appear in front of Conan without disguise like this, to be able to sit down and chat with this detective who once tried his best to reach out to him.

She thought that before the organization really collapsed, before Tang Ze was really completely safe, this would be an impossible scene.

"I need to thank you too. Although, I just seem to be adding unnecessary trouble to you. Narumi Asai, who was sitting on the piano bench, also smiled gently.

"What a touching scene." Hoshikawa Hui, who poked his head out from behind the pillars of the theater, secretly glanced at the brightly lit stage, leaned over to Tang Ze, who was standing behind the audience and did not take a step forward, and pushed him with his elbow, "Aren't you going up and having a reunion together?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No. Tilting his head, the golden light slipped under his eyes, and Tang Ze couldn't help but smile, "That's enough." ”

Like this, looking at the fate changed by himself, watching the wonderful moment when they hugged each other, telling him that he did not come to this trip in vain, it was enough.
