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

Chapter 391 Noah was caught

Spreading out the riddle cards on the table, Gin now had no external objects to distract him and could concentrate completely on guessing the riddles.

"The Leo at dusk and the Maiden at dawn, the constellations are Leo and Virgo, which means between August 8nd and 22rd?"

Gin pondered for a moment.

It seems that this riddle is not that difficult?

Just ...

Gin took out the calendar and took a look at it.

Well, very good, next Sunday, August 22nd.

We have the date of Kaito's crime, and what remains is the specific location and time.

"Time... Never mind, let's skip this for now." Gin rubbed his brows, "The Sky Tower should be Tsutenkaku... Tsk, that doesn't seem right."

He had just checked and found out that the 'Egg of Memories' that Kaito had set his sights on this time was a treasure of the Suzuki Group, and it would be exhibited at the Osaka Museum of Art starting next week.

What did Kaito steal from Tsutenkaku when he went to the museum to exhibit something? Was he just trying to steal something lonely?
"...In that case, what other ideas do you have?"

Gin continued to chew on the pen.

Is the point to shine? Shining buildings? What kind of buildings shine?
Gin had an idea and wrote on the paper, "Well, the time should be at night. According to Kaito's nature, he usually commits crimes at night. The time when the sun sets should be pushed back a little bit, around 7pm."

Cities at night are basically lit with neon lights, which meets the characteristic of luminescence.

But he really couldn't figure out the exact location.

In terms of time...

Gin snapped his watch on and turned it, ignoring the second hand, then compared it with the last word of a sentence, "Time, seven twenty? Or eight twenty?"

From the dusk lion to the dawn girl, it should be written as 暮の狮子から暁の乙女へ, exactly twelve words. Gin guessed that the last word was the position of the hour and minute hands on the dial.

It’s just that the angle of 8:20 is a bit too big, and judging from the shape, 7:20 is more consistent.

Great, we have the time and date, now we just need the location.

Gin let out a breath. This time, Kaito finally gave some questions that people could understand. It seemed that he was considerate of their IQ... No, he was considerate of the police's IQ.

"Noah, how long will it take for the base's systems and controls to be restored?" he suddenly asked Noah.

[Reporting to Master Blade, based on the current collapse, it is estimated that it will take about a day to restore the monitoring network. The intelligence system is still operating normally.]
As soon as Noah heard the question, words jumped on the screen.

Since he had partially destroyed the organization's system, Noah could now move freely in the organization's base.

Gin tilted his head, "Intelligence system? Haven't you already invaded part of it?"

According to Noah, the intelligence system has not collapsed yet?
[It did invade and destroy a part, but the invaded part is not connected to the center, just like my clone is damaged, it will not affect the main program, it will only lose the information that the clone did not transmit back QAQ~]
Perhaps feeling that his actions had achieved nothing, Noah typed a string of emoticons to express his feelings.

Gin saw this and thought that he couldn't dampen the child's confidence, so he encouraged him, "It's okay. Destroying an intelligence base station is already good enough... The information inside has already been passed on to Xie, right?"

[Yes, already]
The flashing cursor on the screen suddenly froze, and then the computer screen and the lights in the room flickered in sync.

The flashing lasted for about two or three seconds before it stopped.

However, all the words Noah had typed before disappeared from the screen, and were replaced by a paragraph of black words on a white background:
[Noah was captured by other programs when he invaded your organization's system before. A piece of data was intercepted. The other party may use this data to track Noah's whereabouts. Brother Blade, you may not be able to use Noah when there is network monitoring in the future. However, Noah still dominates the phone and text message signals. Try to contact us by text message in the future. - Xie]

Gin was a little stunned.

After a while, he sighed regretfully - well, in the end he had to continue to be in isolation.

The text on the screen remained there for several minutes.

Gin thought for a moment, then typed "I understand" on the keyboard. The screen immediately flashed, and then instantly returned to black, showing the white words on a black background that Noah had just communicated with him.

Noah knew that he had been captured by a program: [QAQ! ]
"...It's okay, Noah. If you walk by the river often, you will get your shoes wet sooner or later." Gin comforted him again and poked the computer screen with his finger. Now Noah's emotional system seems to be getting richer and richer. He can feel a sense of grievance through the screen.

"Hmm...if technology develops for a while, won't we be able to make a robot?" Gin rolled his eyes.

Make a mechanical body, then a soft shell, and let Noah be the main controller...hiss! A Noah that can be played with in your hand!
Gin thought to himself for a while before he realized - what was he originally wanting Noah to help with?

"Oh yeah, Noah, send a text message to Kaito for me, use my phone."

Gin typed his interpretation of the puzzle on the screen.

In fact, he could have sent text messages himself or something, but there was a serious problem.

——He didn’t remember Kaito’s cell phone number.

Therefore, I can only trouble Noah to help deliver the letter.

[It is better to obey than to be respectful!]
Noah answered very quickly, without even considering why Gin didn't send it himself.

So, Gin got Kaito's cell phone number as he wished.

Through this incident, he found that Kaito's ability to wear plain clothes was really useful, and he would have to exploit it well in the future...

No, it's about making good use of it.

After thinking it over, Gin reviewed the affairs of the past few days, then wrote down the schedule for the day after tomorrow in the memo on his mobile phone and set an alarm.

Then he rubbed his eyes, yawned, and rolled onto the bed quickly.

sleep!

-

On the streets of Yūka-cho.

Conan's small figure looked very lonely and desolate.

He had already learned from Judy what happened last night...

Of course, this 'all' is from the FBI's perspective.

"Is this organization really that scary?"

Conan clenched his fists.

A criminal organization that has connections at the top of various countries... Is there really no way out?

hateful……

If the Black Organization is really as unfathomable as the FBI says, how can he bring Gin and his people to justice?

Admittedly, although Conan no longer has an urgent need for the organization, after all, Haibara Ai already has the drug information, and the development of the antidote should only be a matter of time. But with such a large criminal organization there, how could Conan ignore it?

And what if the organization continues to use that kind of drug and discovers the secret of becoming smaller, and then finds him?
We have to think of a way.

"Anyway, we already have the cell phones of Judy-sensei and Akai-san. Maybe we can get some information about the organization from them later!"

Thinking of this, Conan regained his spirit and trotted back to the Maori Detective Agency.
