"Oh - Shinichi, you came just in time! My long-lost new invention is finally completed!"
Dr. Agasa looked cheerful and looked at Edogawa Conan who walked into his house with snow on his head and clothes.
"I also made you spare tracking glasses so that you don't have to worry about running out of power in an emergency!"
Conan patted the snowflakes on his body and looked at Dr. Ali: "Where is Haiyuan?"
Dr. Ali smiled and replied: "She went to Mr. Yuan's house."
Just this afternoon, when Dr. Ali was immersed in the debugging work after completing the invention, he unexpectedly received a call from Yuan Huaiyu.
During the phone call, Yuan Huaiyu told him that Conan was likely to have obtained new clues about the organization. Given the inconvenience of the Maori Detective Agency, there was a high probability that Conan would come to Dr. Ali's house.
Then Yuan Huaiyu told Dr. A Li his plan in full, hoping to get his cooperation.
Dr. Ali, who had already been angry with Yuanhuaiyu before, naturally would not refuse. He looked at Conan, who was coming to his home despite the heavy snow, and answered with the words he had prepared.
"Teacher Yuan?" Conan stopped what he was doing and turned his head with a question mark on his face, "Why is she going to Teacher Yuan's house?"
"Oh, it seems that the laboratory equipment at Mr. Yuan's home is much better than mine, so she often goes there to do research during this time."
Dr. Ali replied.
Conan frowned. He knew that Yuan Huaiyu knew that Haiyuan Ai was Shirley, a member of the organization, and it could be seen from the fact that he protected Huiyuan and killed Pisco that this person did not seem to have any malicious intent.
But now Hui Yuan Ai has actually reached the point where she can often go to Yuan Huaiyu’s house!
"She never told me..." Conan thought about it and thought that this might not be a good thing. "When I get the chance, I should ask her if she has discovered anything."
"Let's not talk about it for now. Doctor, I found a clue to the organization!"
Conan pulled the doctor toward the room where the computer was located downstairs.
"What? Really?" Dr. Ali pretended to be shocked.
"Well, I'm afraid that Haiyuan will be worried when she finds out. Fortunately, she's not here now..."
Conan sat at the computer desk and inserted a magnetic disk into the computer mainframe.
This magnetic disk was his harvest today.
In the case investigated by the Mori Detective Agency today, based on the descriptions of the three clients, he was able to completely confirm that Taku Itakura had an intersection with Tequila, who died in the previous explosion.
His original plan was to find the missing Taku Itakura and ask for information about the organization face to face, but unfortunately, when the group of them found Taku Itakura's whereabouts, the system engineer had already died.
The murderer was one of the three clients. During the investigation and reasoning process of the case, Conan found an opportunity to obtain the magnetic disk recording Taku Itakura's diary.
Even though he met Shuichi Akai on the way back and heard Xiaolan talk about the experience of meeting Akai in New York a year ago, even though it was snowing heavily at this time, he had no other thoughts at all and focused all his attention on
On this magnetic disk that may reveal the true face of the black organization.
He operated the mouse and soon discovered that the intervals between each diary in Itakura Taku's diary document were different. The diary that seemed to only record the contents of daily life actually hid many words with the same color as the background.
According to these hidden written records, ten days after Tequila came to visit him, the black organization would sneak into his studio almost every once in a while.
This brought him great panic, but he finally agreed to the organization's conditions and dialed the phone number of a woman who spoke with a tough attitude like a queen.
The woman asked him to complete a certain software under development within a year, and they were willing to buy it at a high price.
However, two months before the handover, Taku Itakura, whose eyesight became worse, decided to stop developing the software "for the sake of all mankind."
Five days before the delivery notice, Itakura Taku decided to escape, leaving behind the unfinished software and a check equal to the remuneration, and fled abroad.
"We are gods and demons, because we want to go against the flow of time and bring the dead back to life..."
Conan looked at these words that seemed like a fantasy novel, his expression serious.
This was the reply Taku Itakura got when he asked the woman what she wanted to do with the software.
This is really a passage that he cares about very much. If you take it literally, "resurrection from the dead" would be too bizarre.
"Then, Shinichi, what should we do now?"
Seeing that Conan had been pondering for a long time but still had no clue, Dr. Ali asked.
"Judging from the contents of this diary, tonight, those guys will send Mr. Itakura an email containing the time, place and method of delivery..."
"Doctor, let's set off now, go to Mr. Itakura's villa, and then turn on the computer there and wait for the emails sent by those guys at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night!"
Under his urging, Dr. Ali quickly changed his clothes. Just when the two were about to go out, Dr. Ali suddenly slapped his head:
"By the way, you haven't tried my new invention yet!"
He hurriedly walked into the house and took out a belt-like object, squatted down and tied it around Conan's waist.
"I named it the random shooting football belt! At first glance, it looks like an ordinary belt, but as long as you adjust the dial and press the button...you see, the football will shoot out!"
Conan watched the belt suddenly "grow" a normal-sized football under the operation of Dr. Ali, and exclaimed: "It's amazing!"
"It's just that because this kind of football is made of special materials, it can only be set for about 10 seconds after leaving the belt."
Conan couldn't put it down and played with the football belt for a while, then drove to Gunma County with Dr. Agasa.
He has already found out that Itakura Taku's villa is in Gunma County.
In the snow and wind, Dr. Ari asked curiously: "The question is, if the news of Itakura's murder had been exposed on TV or radio, wouldn't we be in danger?"
"No problem, because today's news is all about the group of escaped gem robbers, and the news about Itakura's murder will probably not come out until tomorrow."
Conan pointed to his headset, which was broadcasting news about the gem robber.
[The whereabouts of the three suspects are still unknown...]
There was snow and wind outside the car window, but there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart.
…
"What an unlucky thing... I was shot in the leg by that police officer who looked like he was half-assed..."
On a deserted road in Gunma County, a man and a woman were walking with their hands on a man who had an injured leg and was cursing.
"Why can't I see a single car in this damn place?"
The woman shivered from the cold and cursed.
I don't know if her words had an effect, but in the darkness at the end of the road in front of the three of them, a pair of car lights gradually lit up, getting closer and closer.
