Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 261 Sawada Hiroki's Program Satisfaction Survey
Didan High School.

Jinpei Matsuda, who was defusing the bomb, paused.

"The bomb at the Dongdu Tower exploded? Why?"

Isn't Lie very quick in defusing bombs? Why did it explode again?

[Mr. Matsuda, don't be nervous... There are currently no casualties there.]
Noah helped convey, "Lord Lie just wanted to use the gangster's bomb..."
"......?" Hearing that no one was injured, Matsuda Jinping felt relieved, but then he immediately became alert and asked, "What is Lie going to do next?"

[Because some of the targets just now said that they have been too quiet recently, the resourceful Lord Lie decided to create some noise to get the targets to move around...]
Matsuda Jinpei: "..."

What is this all about?
After a long silence, he decided to continue defusing the bomb.

After the dismantling, Matsuda Jinpei put away his tools and asked, "Those targets...are they the FBI people?"

[To be precise, it should include the FBI, CIA, Interpol and Japanese public security, and the recent investigation also found personnel from BND, CSIS and MI6.]
Matsuda Jinpei: "..."

What do these people want to do! Do they regard Japan as the base of their intelligence spies? !
"...Those guys, don't they think Japan is chaotic enough?"

Jinpei Matsuda rubbed his head weakly.

In fact, he shouldn't have known these things...

However, after he officially joined the Five-Star Group, Tian Lie came to him excitedly one day and said that he wanted him to be his associate.

In the Five Star Group, the status of the Chief Associate is no less than that of the second-level "Star Leader". Matsuda Jinpei originally thought that this would allow him to obtain more information, so he agreed...

As a result, this incident made him realize that there is really no such thing as a free lunch:

Rei told him all the information about the current plan and their enemies, and Matsuda Jinpei realized that he was still too young.

The other large transnational criminal organization they have to deal with is even more unfathomable, and this organization has high-level officials in almost every country to help cover it up... Especially Japan, which is said to have been infiltrated by more than half.

If it is not stopped, Japan will most likely become the world of that organization.

So when Rei asked for his help in covering the Metropolitan Police Department if necessary, Jinpei Matsuda agreed.

One is to deal with the real cancer in his own country, and the other is... he has been dragged into the pit by Lie.

"Noah, please ask Mr. Lie what he should do with these bombs. If they are not needed, I want to hand them over to the Metropolitan Police Department."

Jinpei Matsuda looked at the large bag of explosives in front of him and sighed.

He really wanted to hand these things over...but according to the principles of the Five-Star Group, he had to report to Lie first.

[…Yes, Lord Rei asked Mr. Matsuda if he could take out a small part and detonate it somewhere else?]
Noah paused for a moment, and soon heard Lie's retelling.

"I……"

[Accessing——]
Just as Matsuda Jinpei uttered a word, Noah's voice suddenly turned into an emotionless electronic female voice, and then a passionate voice came from the headset:
"Hey! Xiao Pingzi! Do you have many bombs over there?"

"...quite a lot, and don't call me Xiao Pingzi!"

Jinpei Matsuda took a deep breath, his face turning dark.

Can Lie change his habit of giving people nicknames randomly?
"Oh~ Then can you make some out? Put them in a more conspicuous place and let them explode?"

"I can get it out... but why do you want it to explode? Isn't it enough that you exploded it?"

Matsuda Jinpei frowned.

Lie still smiled and said: "Ah~ After all, the target of bombing the Dongdu Tower is not very clear... If you can find a congressman's house or a senior software engineer's house to plant the bomb, it would be even better~"

"This can kill people!!" Matsuda Jinpei roared in intolerance.

It's a crime to plant a bomb in someone's house! He can't do it!
"Eh? Don't be angry~ It won't explode..."

"That won't work either. If you want to release him, go and do it yourself!" Matsuda Jinpei said angrily, "Noah, cut him up!"

"Xiao Pingzi, wait a minute--"

[DISCONNECTED——]
Rei forcibly interrupted the call with him, allowing Matsuda Jinpei to breathe a sigh of relief.

His initial feeling was correct. This guy Lie was a dangerous element... If there wasn't a Black Organization behind him, he would have handcuffed Lie and thrown him into jail right now!

Jinpei Matsuda angrily stabbed the villain in his mind, but he also knew that it was almost impossible to handcuff Rei.

He stared at the bomb and pondered for a while, "Noah, tell Mr. Lie that I have handed the bomb over to the Metropolitan Police Department."

[Okay, I'll tell Lord Lie right away.]
Noah's attitude did not change.

For Noah, as long as everyone joins the Five-Star Group, they are his own people. Minor quarrels and conflicts among his own people are harmless to Noah - after all, he is not a human being.

It's just an innocent artificial intelligence...what bad intentions can artificial intelligence have?
Jinpei Matsuda took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Takagi, then left Teitan High School.

Now, it's time to find the bomber.

Because the other party had previously used a mobile phone to remotely control the bomb, Noah had successfully located this person's position.

However, when Jinpei Matsuda walked to the side of the car, he saw an unexpected person:
"Officer Matsuda."

Hiroki Sawada, who was standing next to the car, smiled and greeted him.

Matsuda Jinpei was slightly stunned, "Hiroki? Why are you here?"

As related parties, they had already known each other through Noah...Matsuda also knew that this handsome little boy was the creator of Noah.

"I just came here hiding in your car when no one else was paying attention."

After Hiroki finished speaking, a small notebook appeared in his hand, and he looked at Matsuda Jinpei eagerly, "Because I want to improve the program recently, I want to ask your evaluation of Noah, and whether there are any flaws or something like that?"

Matsuda Jinpei: "..."

Why not ask this online?

Suddenly, Noah suddenly spoke in his ear: [Mr. Matsuda, please be more eloquent.]
I was careless. I didn't expect Hiroki to do the research offline... This way it wouldn't be able to tamper with the data!
Matsuda Jinpei: "..."

Is this how the idiom "flowery words and sweet talk" is used?

Matsuda Jinpei remained silent and looked at Sawada Hiroki, "I feel okay?"

"Is that all right? Is there anything strange about Noah's usual speech?" Hiroki Sawada narrowed his eyes. "Mr. Matsuda, if Noah says anything to you again, please ignore it."

When he checked the system a few days ago, he accidentally discovered traces of Noah himself tampering with the data.

What Hiroki is more worried about now is that after Noah modified the data, a bug appeared, and it might develop in a bad direction...

"While you were talking?"

Matsuda Jinpei chose to ignore Noah's whining and asked, "Does this count as flattery?"

Hiroki: “?”

Flattery? What data did Noah change for himself?
Noah: [!!!]
What is the problem with flattery? An AI that can't flatter is not a good AI!
