Chapter 24 It seems to have attracted strange things
The Butterfly Ninja pulled out a small blackboard from under the counter. He neatly wrote the words "Fresh Milk" and hung the sign at the door.
Shiraishi waited for half an hour. Not to mention the "special guests", he didn't see any ordinary guests.
Only a primary school student wearing glasses looked at the store that had not been open for a long time inquiringly when he passed by the door of his store, and then quickly went upstairs.
Shiraishi couldn't stand it anymore. He got up too early today, yawned and stood up:
"I'll go back and sort out the information first. You can help look after the store. If you need anything, just call me."
"Okay~" Butterfly nodded.
Shiraishi walked through the door behind the counter and went straight to the bed to catch up on two hours of sleep.
After getting enough sleep, he went to the study room and typed the case information collected yesterday into the computer.
In order to keep it confidential, the film was developed by the police, and the electronic version was scanned and sent to him.
Shiraishi sent the photos and files to Miyano Akemi, and then he opened the taskbar, and the part-time task was indeed completed.
There are actually three rewards on it:
【5000 yen】
[[Special] Mysterious Course Schedule]
[[Special] Akai Shuichi Talisman]
After collecting the money, Shiraishi clicked on the second line, and a card-sized course schedule was generated out of thin air and fell on the desk in front of him.
Shiraishi glanced briefly and quickly looked at the third row.
Shuichi Akai seems to be an FBI agent, a former undercover agent of the black organization, and has some relationship with Miyano Akemi. No wonder he would be rewarded like this.
This item did not materialize, but turned into a stream of light like the owl's head wire that was drawn before, and was thrown into the backpack icon in the lower right corner.
Shiraishi clicked on the backpack and looked at the instructions:
[[Special] Akai Shuichi Talisman]
[Type: Consumables]
[Use: Summon Shuichi Akai to come nearby. Depending on the actual situation, the effective time ranges from 0 to 600 seconds]
[Remarks: The summoned creature will act according to its own wishes. Please confirm the creature's attitude towards you before summoning. It feels good to attract people for a while, but it makes two lines of tears wrong. Blind summoning is not advisable]
"..." It sounds a bit unreliable.
How can a summoned object that cannot be controlled by oneself be regarded as a summoned object... Unless he is being hunted by a group of black organizations, then he can be released to attract firepower.
Shiraishi silently dragged it to the corner grid to collect dust.
At the same time, this is also to prevent you from accidentally clicking on it and causing trouble to your ordinary life.
After counting the rewards, Shiraishi put away the light screen and looked at the course schedule.
After checking it carefully, he realized that this business card-sized class schedule was not as ordinary as he had just thought.
It is not arranged from Monday to Sunday, but has only two columns - "Today" and "Tomorrow". The date and week are marked with a line of small characters at the bottom.
Shiraishi took a few glances and understood.
As we all know, time in this world is chaotic. You need to always have clothes for all seasons at home, and there are new surprises every day when you wake up. Therefore, the class schedule has to be arranged temporarily, and the specific courses can only be known one day in advance.
Shiraishi's eyes quickly fell on the "Today" column.
There happen to be two classes right next to each other in the afternoon, just an hour and a half later.
Moreover, these two lessons were circled with a pencil and a note was written: [Recommended!]
Thinking of his empty taskbar, Shiraishi felt a little moved.
The system has said so. If you go there, you might gain something.
He has never had appendicitis, and he doesn't know how long it will take to recover from such an operation. However, Miyano Akemi said that the professor has a bad memory, so there should be no problem if he goes to class this afternoon.
...I hope my senior’s experience in skipping classes is reliable enough.
…
Nanyang University is some distance away from here, so Shiraishi packed up and prepared to go.
He used to go through the back door on the side of the building.
But when he went out today, considering the new employees who were forced to stay in the store, Shiraishi opened the door to the counter: "I want to go out, let me help you take it..."
His voice stopped suddenly.
The small blackboard is quite effective, and the fresh milk actually attracts customers.
But this guest seemed to be beyond his expectation.
——How should I put it, she is like a straight black version of the Butterfly Ninja. Except for being taller and having a different hairstyle, everything from her clothes to her feathers to her face shape are very similar.
As soon as Shiraishi opened the door, two pairs of similar eyes turned to him at the same time, and he didn't know whether to continue walking.
"You're awake." Finally, Butterfly Ninja broke the silence. She raised her finger and pointed to the door, "Our products have been introduced to the customers."
"Well, thank you for your hard work." But why do I feel that this is more caused by you than milk...
After saying hello, Butterfly Ninja said seriously: "Just leave the work to me this time, and you can go and do your work."
"...Okay." Shiraishi always had the illusion that he had transformed into a light bulb and was being driven away.
After asking the two of them if they could help bring lunch, and receiving the reply "Thank you, but we don't need to eat," Shiraishi ignored them and went to class.
When he walked out of a street, he looked back and saw the butterfly ninja throwing the customer into the store.
"..." Business is business, why are you attacking people?
Shiraishi sighed, turned around and left following the map he just bought.
On the third day without a smartphone and GPS navigation, think about it.
Relying on a fairly detailed paper map, Shiraishi arrived at Nanyang University. Then he found the teaching building of the Department of Psychology based on the signs on campus.
The rest was easy, there was only one laboratory in the whole building that was engaged in criminal psychology. Looking through the books on the bookshelves at the entrance of each laboratory, Shiraishi quickly identified a room.
When you open the door, you will see that the room is decorated like an office, with several small tables with bookshelves neatly arranged, and everyone's name tags posted on the corners of the tables.
Shiraishi searched one by one, and finally found the table with "Shiraishi's Rules" on it in the innermost corner.
A stack of copied documents was placed in the middle of the table, a few books were thrown on the bookshelf, and there were several stacked paper cups on the table with a few sticks of instant coffee stuck in the cups.
Overall, it is ordinary and has no special features, which is quite in line with Shiraishi's own habits.
Shiraishi glanced twice, turned his eyes, and found that the nameplate of "Miyano Akemi" happened to be stuck on the table next door.
This table is very delicately decorated. Half of the bookshelf is filled with books and half is filled with cosmetics. There is also an exquisite doll sitting on the edge, with legs made of thick cotton ropes hanging naturally.
The doll was wearing exquisite little clothes, and there seemed to be a few pieces of stuff pressed under its buttocks and under the folds of the clothes.
Taking a closer look, it seemed to be...a floppy disk?
This thin plastic box was a removable storage medium before the emergence of USB flash drives. In the past, boxes were often piled up at home. Shiraishi had taken apart several disks when he was a child and was deeply impressed by this thing.
In the current era, the floppy disk itself is nothing unusual, but it is connected with Miyano Akemi...
An idea suddenly struck Bai Shi.
——Could this be those artifacts that were accidentally mixed with APTX4869 drug information?
APTX4869 is a poison that causes Conan to shrink. Miyano Shiho, who is responsible for developing the drug, happens to be Miyano Akemi's sister.
For various reasons, the two sisters are not as close as ordinary sisters, but they are often in contact.
In the original work, Miyano Akemi once borrowed a floppy disk filled with travel photos from Professor Hirota and sent it to Miyano Shiho for viewing.
When Miyano Shiho read it and sent it back, he mistakenly sent back several floppy disks mixed with drug information.
The relevant information of APTX4869 is related to the main line of the entire world. Conan and other protagonists have tried to get it countless times, but unfortunately they have never succeeded.
If the pictures on the table now really include that floppy disk...
Shiraishi looked at the door, good, no one has come in yet.
After confirming that there was no surveillance installed in the research room, he summoned the light screen and typed out the Q version assistant: "Can you help me copy the data in these floppy disks?"
The Q version assistant put down the knitting needle in his hand, looked at it closely for a while, and nodded.
Before Bai Shi could be surprised, she stretched out a hand towards Bai Shi, and a dialog box popped up above her head:
【100,000 yen】
"..." As an AI, you have food and accommodation in the system, so shouldn't you treat money like dirt?
This expensive white stone makes me want to take it and copy it myself.
But firstly, he is not familiar with the operation, and secondly, if it is really the disk filled with drug information, then it must contain a virus, and it still needs to be decoded by the system.
...Speaking of which, if the price is so high, could it really contain pharmaceutical information as Shiraishi thought?
Thinking of this, Shiraishi confirmed to his assistant: "It contains encrypted information, right? When copying, you will also decipher the information?"
The Q version assistant nodded again and gave him a serious thumbs up, looking very reliable.
Bai Shimo calculated the balance in his card and sighed bitterly: "Deal."
After deducting the money, the Q version assistant took out a Mediterranean-style wig, buttoned it on his head, rolled up his sleeves and started working.
In front of Miyano Akemi's bookshelf, a long floating frame immediately jumped out and began to read slowly.
The progress was quite slow. When Shiraishi saw it, he immediately felt more at ease. If it was just ordinary information, it shouldn't take so long.
Just as I was thinking about it, the door behind me slid open and someone walked in.
Shiraishi turned around naturally, and the person who came happened to be Miyano Akemi.
Miyano Akemi didn't notice anything unusual. She closed the door and looked up to see Shiraishi in the room. She immediately smiled: "Why did you come early? We are betting on how late you will be today."
