Chapter 809 Dongdu Iron Tower, Danger
"You are right Kudo, the existing positions on the map are almost exactly the same as the star map of the Big Dipper." Looking at the flickering screen in front of him, Haibara Ai rushed. He looked at the Q-version villain in the lower right corner of the desktop and nodded, "This prisoner is a bit rigid."
"Yes, he is quite meticulous."
The victim will be After being subdued by the attackers, they were specially transported to the designated place to be killed. In order to form a star map on the map, they did not hesitate to cross many places and counties...
Conan narrowed his eyes when he thought of his guess.
If the murderer was, as he thought, the victim's brother Kazuki Honami and not Kosuke Mizutani, then if he hadn't deliberately led the suspicion to Kosuke Mizutani, he wouldn't have needed to make such a complicated design, and naturally he wouldn't have had the chance to alert him. The police in so many places were surrounded and suppressed by a concentrated police force...
Should we say that this guy was too clever but was mistaken for his cleverness?
"Can you help me find the location of the eighth star?" Conan asked the most important question.
If the murderer succeeds, the truth of the whole matter may be completely buried with the death of Mizutani Kosuke.
Not to mention that crucial list.
"Use the existing seven locations to determine the location of the last Beixuan, right? Wait a moment." Haihara Ai dictated his request, and then watched Noah quickly determine the connection on the map and mark it. location and zoom in, and truthfully tell the displayed content, "Shiba Park in Minato City."
"Okay, I understand! Thank you."
Listen to the rapid conversation on the other end of the phone After quickly hanging up the phone, Haibara Ai reached out and tapped Noah on the screen: "He said thank you to you."
"It's just a comparison of the images, a very simple matter, Miss Shiho. "Noah on the screen smiled, "It's the same if you do it yourself."
Yes, it is very simple for humans, but for you as an artificial intelligence, it is actually a great job. .
Haibara Ai, who has assisted and been in contact with the doctor's research for a long time, has gradually learned some knowledge about artificial intelligence and computer programming, and is now fully aware of how advanced the intellectual Noah's Ark is.
The person who created him was only ten years old until his death...
Haihara Ai stopped the next thought, picked up the test tube and shook it a few times: " Yes, but I still have my own things to be busy with. If you weren't here, I wouldn't be able to spare any time."
"Are you preparing reagents for Tang Ze?" With the help of the camera next to the computer, Nuo asked. Ya'ark captured her movements and made an animation on the screen of turning her head and staring, "He really knows how to summon people."
"No way, there are some things that others can't do for you." Staring started After taking the medicine from Lan Yingying, Hui Yuan Ai smiled implicitly, "I am the only researcher among all the people who has been exposed to those experiments and even participated in the design. Some things must be done by me."
< br>
She turned around and looked at the instrument lying there quietly with the hatch open behind her.
"Do you feel nostalgic, Noah?"
"That's not the case. It's not up to me to decide what the external connection device looks like."
"Do you have the record of the soothing procedure here? Do you need me to retrieve it separately from my uncle's information?"
"Yes, after all, this was one of my core mechanisms."
"Okay, let's give it a try, our time is limited..."

"Mizutani Kosuke and Motokami Nanako's hobby is stargazing?" I learned this from the phone call After hearing the news, Mu Mu Shisan frowned in thought.
"Yes, their former neighbors and Nanako's family are sure of this. They also said that the two of them got together because of similar hobbies." The person on the other end of the phone The police answered in the affirmative.
"I understand, very important information, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, everyone in the conference room exchanged unreadable glances, and finally turned their attention to the police officers who were operating the computers.
"In agreement with the opinions of Officer Morofushi and Detective Mori, the current shape on the map does match the Big Dipper." Shiratori Rensaburo enlarged the processed map on the projection, "The last one is currently The missing star corresponds to Shiba Park in Minato City. "
Zofu Gaoming lowered his head to show humility, while Mouri Kogoro scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Ashamed, ashamed..." He responded with an awkward smile to the approving glances around him.
This is not a victory of logic or thinking ability. He just got sleepy after reading the information and couldn't help but lie down. When he was woken up, the map in his hand was scattered all over the table. He hurriedly sorted out the room because Because of the angle, I suddenly remembered the new bag pendant that the guy Karasawa downstairs saw yesterday...
If he were to say it, it probably had more to do with luck.
However, no one in the re-energized task force obviously cared about how he arrived at the answer. The atmosphere in the entire conference room cleared and it once again entered a state of intense discussion and arrangement.
"Manager Matsumoto, what do you think?" Seeing everyone breaking free from the possibility that someone might be killed tonight and the police being helpless, Mugu Shisan looked at the calm-looking boss next to him.
Matsumoto Kiyonaga has been responsible for the command and wartime decision-making of various major cases for many years. No matter what conclusions the people below draw, he must make the final decision on actions.
"At present, it seems that the probability of the murderer appearing here tonight is extremely high." Matsumoto Kiyonaga said in a deep voice, "Get ready immediately and mobilize all personnel to search for possible cases around Shiba Park. Send location! ”
The police officers in the conference room agreed in unison.
“Yes!”

“Xiaolan, are you really not coming to the Dongdu Iron Tower? The Chinese Valentine’s Day activities are quite big. There are a lot of people in yukata here..."
Sitting at the table, Mao Lilan clicked on the TV, and the channel happened to switch to a related evening program.
The host, who was wearing a light-colored kimono and smiling brightly, stood in front of the camera and introduced the grand occasion of the Toto Tower Tanabata event tonight. Behind her, various couples or relatives and friends in yukata were walking back and forth. It was very interesting. lively. She looked down at the noodle bowl in front of her, then at the empty room where she was the only one, and sighed softly.
"Forget it Sonoko, you and Kyoto are having fun. Didn't you say before that he was considering going abroad for competition and training? Let's get along with him more." Mao Lilan quickly regained her composure and replied with a smile.
"Hey, are you really not coming? How boring would it be for you to stay at home alone during the Chinese Valentine's Day, with only the little ghost to accompany you?" Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but raise her voice, attracting the attention of the surrounding tourists. They all looked at her.
Kyogoku, who was actually not used to being stared at by so many people, rubbed his neck, changed his standing direction, and tried his best to block the looks from others.
He didn't mind Suzuki Sonoko's carefree side - he might even find it a bit cute - but when she hung up the phone and realized that she had attracted too much attention, he might be a little embarrassed.
It would be nice if there was a kid with me...
Mao Lilan tilted his head and replied helplessly: "Conan is not at home either, saying he has something to do with his classmates. ”
Of course this is not true.
Conan also seemed to be very interested in the case his father was handling, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Tang Ze to ask him for relevant information. She was naturally happy to see it happen.
It was now certain that her father's real ability as a detective was far less famous than his reputation. She didn't want to see him lose his dignity in front of his former colleagues.
But during the investigation, Conan seemed to have discovered some important clues, and suddenly sent her a message, asking her not to contact him at any time. If the matter is urgent, it is best to contact him as quickly as possible. Tang Ze downstairs to avoid danger.
She was indeed worried about Conan's situation, but it was hard for her to continue asking questions after the words were brought to this point.
So I can only sit here and wait anxiously.
"Wouldn't it be even worse? These unreliable men belong to both young and old!" Suzuki Sonoko's eyes widened and she had already begun to roll up her sleeves. "No, hurry up and look for them. If you can’t catch Kudo in a yukata, why don’t you ask Karasawa to come with you? Then you can take a few photos and make that reasoning mad... Huh?”
< br>
"Hey, be careful!" Seeing Suzuki Sonoko take a quick step and lie down on the railing of the observation deck to look down, Kyogoku quickly stretched out his hand and held her waist.
When wearing a yukata, it is difficult to take too long a step. She sprints so fast that it really makes people worry about tripping or something.
Suddenly Kyogoku's strong arms were wrapped around her waist. Suzuki Sonoko's face turned red. She quickly shifted her attention and looked downstairs again at the target that had attracted her attention just now.
A little boy on a skateboard was nimbly passing through the crowd downstairs and quickly approaching the East Capital Tower.
"I saw that kid!" Suzuki Sonoko grabbed the railing and tried to lean down to look down, "Conan is coming to the Toto Tower! Really, how could Tanabata leave you at home? There’s no point in running out to play by yourself, damn it.”
"You said Conan is at the Tokyo Tower?" Mao Lilan stood up suddenly and stared at the TV in front of him.
On the screen, in the live broadcast of the entrance and exit of the Dongdu Tower, a figure holding a skateboard appeared in the camera, running towards the entrance below the tower.
Looking at his profile, which was completely exposed in the live broadcast camera without even having time to hide his face, Mao Lilan's heart suddenly tightened.
This is the feeling, this feeling that something is going to go wrong...
“Wait for me, I’ll be there soon!”
Downstairs of the Tokyo Capital Tower, Conan, who didn't even know he had been caught repeatedly, handed the skateboard in his hand to the service staff standing at the door responsible for storing items.
"Sister, can you help me store this thing? It's not convenient for me to carry it up!"
When the woman with a professional smile saw the short boy, she immediately bent down. Ask in a friendly manner: "Children, it's okay, but what about your family? Don't you have a guardian?"
After all, the Dongdu Iron Tower is a tourist attraction with a lot of traffic, and tonight is during the event. , it is very unsafe for people to come and go.
Let a child who looks only seven or eight years old enter it alone. If something goes wrong, they will be responsible.
"No, I came here with my brother and dad. I just can't find them for the time being. They seem to have gone up!" Conan, whose acting skills have improved slightly, at least being a child in front of strangers, immediately put on a show With a face that was about to cry, "Can you save it for me first? I'll call them right away."
As he said that, he raised his hand and hung it around his neck as a gesture. mobile phone.
Now, the reason for blocking is somewhat insufficient.
The service staff looked at him in embarrassment, then at the entrance and exit during the peak traffic period. He hesitated whether he should agree directly or find someone to lead the child in to avoid accidents. Then he saw a The slender figure leaned over from behind.
Poor Conan, who was still holding up his skateboard suit, felt his legs suddenly rise into the air in the next second, and his sight was drawn up a lot.
"Conan, why are you here? There are a lot of people, so you have to follow everyone's footsteps, do you hear me?" The person who picked him up from the ground effortlessly put him in his arms, and then looked towards him The woman at the check-in office smiled gently, "Please help him store his things, madam. My brother has caused trouble for you."
"Oh, oh, okay..." The woman looked at Looking at the speaker's face, I didn't know if he recognized it. His face suddenly turned red, and he whispered, "Can you help me sign my name?"
"Oh? I don't even know what I am doing. He's already so famous." Goro Akechi, or Karasawa, who was carrying two prime-time variety show guests, smiled as if he was flattered, "Of course, it's my honor."
Being. The Conan he held in his arms widened his eyes and stared at the pretentious and coquettish Akechi Goro. He took the paper from the waitress's hand, left his personal signature coolly, and whispered a few gentle words. , the woman's face turned red as she spoke, and she looked at him with dreamy eyes as he carried primary school student Shi Shiran towards the elevator.
Hey, you don’t even ask the kids if they really know him, but just because he is a celebrity, you unconditionally believe what he says? Are today’s service staff so unreliable? !
"Good evening, Conan-kun." Goro Akechi, who was holding him in his arms, leaned into his ear and said slowly, "Why, tonight, you happen to have the same goal as me?"
Conan came to Toto Tower tonight to stop Kazuki Motogami, and also to find out the truth of this case and get the list that is crucial to the organization.
Since Akechi Goro said so, then his goal...!
“Didn’t you say that you are just a low-level minion and this matter has nothing to do with you?” Conan squeezed out this sentence through his teeth, “What are you doing here?”
"What I want to do has nothing to do with you, right? The little detective responsible for speaking for Kudo." Goro Akechi raised his eyebrows and made an almost provocative expression at him through the reflection of the elevator door.
