Chapter 511 joker: Let me show you something good
"Nagato Mitsuomi, Nagato Hideomi." Looking thoughtful, Karasawa repeated the name mentioned in the message, guiding Conan to continue. Going on, "Well, it seems that the intelligence we collected did not cover this kind of news. What happened to these two names?"
Although this was a case that impressed him, what Karasawa said This is all true. The Phantom Thieves' intelligence scope really does not include them.
He does have a long list in his hand. Basically, whenever he recalls a case, he will record it and try to use the different world navigation to see if there are any lives that can be saved. .
Although these cases are glorious milestones in Mouri Kogoro's life history, Karasawa feels that the aura of a famous detective in him is probably an inherent attribute. Even if a few of them are missing, the impact will be Not big either.
In comparison, it is more valuable to be able to save some people who are not bad.
Thinking about it, even if he knew that the existence of the Phantom Thieves had reduced the number of murders he encountered, he would only agree with it with both hands and feet.
A few less anesthesia injections will not do any harm to the body.
This random method of running databases cannot guarantee that all cases will be covered - some people just have a good meal, sleep, get up, and discover something, and they become evil and courageous. This kind of thing is a strange thief. How could it be expected - but it did save some people.
For example, Shinde Tomaki, who was supposed to meet Mouri Kogoro and Conan during the case, his father Shinde Yoshiki would have died of murder due to emotional entanglements.
Now, he has changed his mind and honestly admitted that his marital infidelity led to the death of his ex-wife. Although the father and son are indeed separated because of this, and Tomaki Shinde has moved out of the house, they are still there at least, right?
Another example is the family tragedy in the Nagato family. Because the murderer became filled with evil thoughts after he learned the truth and lost his fiancé, and decided to kill him. He cast a wide net and changed his mind. Of course, he did not There might be something to gain.
However, if it was Conan himself who suddenly had subjective initiative and intervened before the tragedy happened...
"Do you have any relevant information on it? What he said "Is it true?"
"I'm not sure whether it's true, but I did find some relevant records in my father's file." Conan said with certainty, "I used him" as he dug out his notes. The name provided was used as a keyword to search. The Nagato Hidetomi mentioned here should be the son of Nagato Dozo, the chairman of the Nagato Group. I used his statement as a clue to trace the possible connection to it twenty years ago. Some discoveries were made in the case.”
This is also thanks to Kudo Yusaku's three-story high study room filled with records... God knows why his father collected such detailed news records.
If it is to collect creative materials, then how much time does he have to spend every day cutting newspapers from all over Japan...
For a moment of wonder in his heart, Conan showed the newspaper clippings he had taken. out.
“Twenty years ago, a fire broke out in a family named Yamato. The couple was buried in the flames. Only their only daughter survived and was saved by a passing high school student. The high school student who saved the life He was hit in the face by burning wood in the fire, causing partial second-degree burns..." Reciting the news content he had written down, Conan nodded with certainty, "This family is not far from Nagato's house. In a residential area, Nagato Hideomi seems to have suffered an accidental disfigurement, so he lives in seclusion and rarely appears in front of others."
All this coincides with his confession in the message.
"Do you infer that the big mistake from twenty years ago mentioned in this message was the fire?" Tangze smiled and tilted his head, "Well, the message from two days ago... Smell You're quite perceptive, detective."
While speaking, Tang Ze glanced at Noah's direction, and not surprisingly saw him shaking his head slightly.
Nowadays, the Phantom Thieves basically take orders on demand. With the booming business of changing their minds, more and more people have actually undergone various changes after their previews. The reputation of the Phantom Thieves is growing. Ever-expanding—just look at their ever-increasing subway lines to confirm this.
However, after Noah took over the website, by default, the names in the messages will be intercepted and conducted a different world navigation search to prevent such isolated names from slipping through the net.
"Yes, and I think this is the 'old grudge' that may lead to new cases." Taking back the phone, Conan rubbed the old newspaper that had turned yellow on the screen and said with emotion, " If the fire was actually caused by Hidetomi Nagato, but he concealed this, then from the perspective of the victim, the benefactor he has been grateful to for many years is actually the culprit of the tragedy... In my opinion Come on, this is likely to be the trigger for the next tragedy.”
Tang Ze glanced at Conan and couldn't help but give him a high look.
Is this the caliber of a famous detective who has handled many murder cases, let alone watched hundreds of episodes of bloody dramas?
Not only is he very keen on the signs of the case, but he also knows the direction of things very accurately.
"Well, it is possible." Karasawa nodded seriously and raised his chin towards Noah, "Ark, check the opponent's position and verify whether it is one of Nagato Mitsuomi or Nagato Hidetomi. . ”
This must be Conan’s purpose for finding them. Tangze, who is very good at reading the air, took the initiative to let Noah take action without waiting for him to ask.
Since Conan himself used a crawler to capture their messages and found out about the fire twenty years ago, he couldn't have come to them just to show off.
After a brief silence, Noah, with data in his eyes constantly flowing, nodded: "Well, the person who posted the message should be Nagato Hidetomi himself."
Conan was stunned and couldn't bear it. Zhu turned his head and looked at Noah, who was staring at a place in the void with an expressionless face.
Although he theoretically knew that Noah's Ark was a strong artificial intelligence that was rampant in the online world, and coupled with the Phantom Thieves' already god-like positioning technology, determining a person's information in the online world was like picking up something. , but it is still surprising to see this kind of efficiency.
"Position?" Tangze, who was not shocked by such basic operations, continued to ask, while giving Noah a wink.
This is a rare opportunity, why don't you show off some stunts to shock this little detective?
The Noah's Ark, who came to understand, quickly simulated a translucent map in mid-air, and quickly narrowed the distance on the map, marking a location.
"Yokohama City, the residence of the Nagato family." A red dot representing the location flashed on the map. After completing this series of operations, Noah reported the location with his head held high.
Karasawa touched his chin and said with a serious look: "Yokohama, that's right. After all, it's the Nagato family who are on par with the Suzuki family. They are mainly engaged in the shipping trade. It's true. Will take root in the port city... Check their network of contacts, our little detective needs a little help."
"Wait a moment, the inquiry is in progress... Um... Ah, you can call that black guy. "Help." It only took a few minutes for Noah to give the answer quickly.
Tangze, who knew exactly who he was talking about, thought about it for a moment, and said, "Which one is black?"
In his coop alone, there is more than one swarthy person.
After reacting for a few seconds, Noah couldn't help but choked: "Ah, uh, that's the one, the black-skinned boy..."
I thought of the meeting between Amuro Toru and Hattori Heiji Karasawa was immorally amused at this scene, and then continued: "Oh, Hattori Heiji. Is there any connection between their family and the Hattori family?"
Noah glanced at him resentfully after his train of thought was interrupted. He glanced at him and continued to answer dutifully: "Well, the Nagato family has a lot of contact with Hattori Heizo, the head of the Osaka Police Headquarters. He can introduce him on his behalf, so he should be able to meet Nagato Hidetomi himself."
Conan, who was completely speechless by the two of them talking to each other, said: "..."
"Is this how you usually determine your goals?" Conan, who has never seen high technology I don’t understand, but I’m shocked, “I spent a whole night just screening case records...”
“Well, this is the advantage of paperless office and intelligent database. So, Which organization needs Noah? I have heard about your father's library, which has been collecting various case materials for so many years. However, if he can be like us. , if you make more use of the power of technology, it will naturally be more efficient.”
This is nonsense to deceive children who do not understand technology.
Tang Ze, who used a lot of unscientific means to achieve this outrageous effect, was talking nonsense without any intention of blushing.
Of course, it is impossible for a normal database to complete this method. Let's not talk about Noah's metaphysical power. Due to the birth of the mind, Noah directly jumped over the most difficult part of artificial intelligence to understand the world and understand the world.
Of course, a normal computer cannot do this, otherwise Google’s verification code would not be such a troublesome pattern recognition.
Conan thought blankly for a while and began to imagine the possibility of digitizing his father's library.
Indeed, it makes sense. Nowadays, all kinds of news can be found on the Internet. Continuing to use newspaper clippings foolishly is indeed delaying things.
Hmm, I wonder if I can borrow Noah's Ark from Joker and help them input the data... It happens to be right next door, so he won't have to go to war.
Not knowing that he was playing into the hands of the joker who was preparing to use the detective database for free, Conan secretly made a plan to ask his neighbors when this matter was over.
"Thank you for the information, please wait for my good news." Conan nodded, and after receiving more information than expected, Conan thought for a while and said with some hesitation, "This procedure done by the doctor, It’s quite easy to use. Let’s continue to use it to crawl your website information. Is that okay?”
Although it is an anonymous website, they are still taking it without telling you. Conan felt a little embarrassed. You still need to seek the official opinion of the website.
"Pfft..." Noah, standing next to him, laughed and straightened the beret on his head, "You don't think that our website can be browsed by anyone. How do you read it? The interface you use is specially opened by the leader. You underestimate my protection ability."
"That's right, you can even locate normal users so accurately..." After patting his forehead, Conan suddenly came over, "Then, thank you."
"What you did is very correct. It's the same thing as our idea, and it can also make up for our omissions, so why not do it?" Tang Ze said very generously with a gesture of please.
Compared with him working tirelessly here to improve the security of the world of Kexue, the protagonist of the world has a huge motivation to change, and his role must be stronger than them.
Of course Tangze is happy to see the results.
If this was not so blatant, he would even dare to open a sub-section for detectives to take orders on the website, directly opening the door to detectives.
The detective, whose temporary idea had been supported, touched his head and felt a little happy. He looked at Noah, who was still waiting beside him, and said, "I just want to talk to you about this time. Well, since you still have something to do." You’re busy, why don’t I disturb you?”
Tangze stood up, handed the folded book and the list of next goals to Noah, and picked it up in a decent manner. The coat placed on the back of the sofa: "You're already here. Nagato's house is in Yokohama City. You can't come in a hurry. Why don't you just play for a while? Just in time, I have something I want you to see. "
"What do you want me to see?"
"Don't worry, I'm definitely not scared this time." Looking at the carriage parked downstairs, Tang Ze smiled.
It just so happened that the case of the Nagato family was involved this time. It was really a good time.
————
Although I didn’t understand where Joker’s inexplicable sense of ritual came from, Conan still didn’t directly ask the disrespectful question of “Can’t you open a portal and go directly there?” and followed him honestly. Behind the joker in a snow-white dress, he boarded the carriage.
When he sees Joker on weekdays, that is, when he is not wearing the Kaitou outfit, he usually wears very street-style fashionable clothes. At first glance, he is really uncomfortable seeing Joker dressed up like this.
Especially because generally speaking, the person wearing a white dress is Kidd. When I saw Joker dressed up today, if he didn’t know very well that this was a game world, Kidd wouldn’t have been able to sneak in and disguise himself. He would have thought it was a fake. .
Considering the strange self-logic of the Phantom Thieves, Conan got off the carriage and saw a very familiar theater, and Conan could only think, "It's true."
Dressing so solemnly, he must be going to some formal occasion, that's what the Phantom Thieves are like.
In the familiar theater, there were no guests gathered in the game at that time, with fragrant clothes and shadows on their temples. In the dark theater, only the lights on the stage were on alone.
Conan's eyes naturally turned to the theater stage.
The actress, wearing a gorgeous and complicated floor-length dress, stood quietly on the stage with her back to the audience.
The melodious piano sound echoed in the theater. At the edge of the spotlight, a performer in a tuxedo was sitting in front of the piano, and his fingers wearing white gloves moved with ease on the black and white keys.
According to Conan's understanding, the actress who will appear in the theater in this place is probably Irene Adler again.
Why is it necessary for him to see this... I have seen it twice.
Conan, who was laughing dumbly, was about to take the initiative to turn around and ask joker, but his expression froze and he slowly came to his senses.
Ah, yes, since Noah's Ark did not change the Holmes and Watson established in the original game, then, this Irene Adler...
Also, the piano performance Who...
Conan, who realized what was before him, could no longer maintain his leisurely pace.
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 venue.
The woman, who had always turned her back to the audience, turned her head as he stepped closer and closer.
"Don't run in the theater. There are many steps, so be careful where you step." Reaching out and taking off the mask on her face, Miyano Akemi looked at Conan with bright eyes and smiled gently.
"Miss Masami, and, and..." Conan, who ran to the stage, was excited, panting and looked at the person who was still playing, "Mr. Aso, is that you?"
After pressing the last few scales, Asai Narumi took back his hand, turned around, looked at Conan's expression of joy and unspeakable disappointment, and curled his eyes: "Just call me Asai."
"It's actually true. 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 are here now. , Uh, that's not what I meant..."
He almost asked reflexively, knowing that their whereabouts must be the biggest secret, Conan immediately stopped talking.
It is true that he received the group photo sent by joker to say that he was safe, but since Masami Hirota disappeared, joker said more than once that she was alive and well, but maybe they would never see each other again. .
He was prepared that the person had been sent overseas by the joker, or was hiding in some nook and corner and had his name changed. He could only silently bless him in his heart, but he never expected that he would meet like this. moment...
"I understand. Thank you, little detective. I have also heard about Shiho. Anyway, thank you for taking care of her." Miyano Akemi looked at him hurriedly climbing onto the stage, showing a bright smile. , "Just call me Mingmei."
Of course this was not the first time she saw him after the accident.
As Joker's team members and Karasawa's most important supporters, they often appear around Karasawa. This Karasawa's neighbor in every sense of the word is of course a frequent encounter.
But like this, appearing in front of Conan with his true self without any pretense, and being able to use his own identity to sit down and chat with the detective who once tried his best to reach out to him, it is still amazing. Very novel experience.
She thought that before the organization was truly destroyed and before Tangze was completely safe, this would be an impossible scene.
"I also need to thank you. Although, I seem to be just adding unnecessary trouble to you." Asai Naomi, who was sitting on the piano bench, also showed a gentle smile.
“What a touching scene.” Hoshikawa Hui poked his head out from behind the pillars of the theater, glanced secretly at the brightly lit stage, and stood in the auditorium without taking a step forward. Tangze stood next to him and nudged him with his elbow, "Why don't you come up and have a happy reunion together?"
"...No." He tilted his head, and golden light slipped through his eyes. Tangze couldn't help but smile, "That's enough."
Like this, watching the fate changed by him, watching the wonderful moment when they met and hugging each other, told him that he did not come in vain This trip is enough.
