In Conan, people have a brain option system.

Chapter 181 A Great Opportunity (12)

"Reverse the flow of time and bring the dead back to life..."

After Conan heard what Kunio Koizumi said, the calm expression on his face collapsed in an instant.

This is indeed the purpose of that organization.

But because of what happened to Kunio Koizumi this time, he had an extremely strong sense of déjà vu.

“So similar… So similar…”

Conan kept mumbling to himself.

He had been involved in similar cases before.

Itakura Taku.

——A name buried deep in Conan’s memory was suddenly awakened.

What happened to Itakura Taku happened again to Koizumi Kunio and Kawasaki Ryo.

Before, after Conan learned about the deal between Itakura Taku and the organization, he had come up with the idea of ​​using fake software to track the organization.

However, Conan's plan was instantly seen through by Gin, and Conan was almost exposed.

That incident can definitely be regarded as one of the more thrilling clashes between Conan and the organization whose core members are all named after wine.

Therefore, Conan was also deeply impressed by this incident.

"Boy, what's wrong with you?"

Sera Masumi asked in a deep voice as he looked at Conan's drastic change of mood.

She guessed that the things behind this case might be far more complicated than what they seemed on the surface.

Conan did not answer Sera Masumi, but looked at Koizumi Kunio and asked:
"Mr. Koizumi, have you ever heard of the name 'Itakura Taku'?"

When Kunio Koizumi heard Conan's words, he suddenly showed an extremely shocked expression.

"Of course I know him. Although Mr. Itakura is much younger than me and Ryo Kawasaki, his abilities are much better than ours."

"And Mr. Itakura used to be a frequent visitor here, but it's a pity that he passed away at a young age..."

"Why, how do you know this name?"

"I'm afraid that the software that Mr. Koizumi and Mr. Kawasaki were commissioned to develop is of the same type as the software that they previously commissioned Mr. Itakura to develop."

Conan said.

He remembered that when he first came into contact with Tequila, a member of the organization, the purpose of the transaction conducted by Tequila was to obtain a list of famous programmers in the industry.

Obviously, the software developed by Taku Itakura is only the core part.

The organization handed over the remaining content to other programmers to complete.

Kunio Koizumi and Ryo Kawasaki should be the programmers targeted by the organization.

"What?! Mr. Itakura was also commissioned by them in the same way?!"

Kunio Koizumi was once again shocked by Conan's words.

But this time, Conan fell into deep thought.

"The person who commissioned Koizumi-san to develop the software this time must be Vermouth, a member of the organization."

Conan thought in his heart, and then continued to ask:

"Mr. Koizumi, do you know what the specific functions of the software that the organization asked you to develop are?"

As expected, Kunio Koizumi shook his head.

"Kawasaki and I were only responsible for some functions of the software. I didn't know the other party's specific purpose or the overall function of the software."

Conan nodded, not at all surprised by what Kunio Koizumi said.

Masumi Sera listened to the conversation between the two and had a vague understanding of the software.

She spoke at this time, interrupting the conversation between Conan and Kunio Koizumi.

"This time, the development commission was completed by you, Mr. Koizumi, and Mr. Kawasaki, but there was only one computer in the room." "So, the other computer was taken away when Mr. Kawasaki was killed, right?"

"That's right... the computers used for development were all prepared by the other party."

Kunio Koizumi looked at Masumi Sera in front of him in surprise, and was once again shocked by Masumi Sera's sharpness.

"Excuse me, what is the time and location after the handover deadline is extended?"

Sera Masumi asked again.

"Since the computer was prepared by the other party, and they took the computer away after killing Kawasaki Ryo."

'That means the other party is not going to hand over the computer via the Internet, but wants to take the computer away in its entirety.'

'This is an opportunity!'

Masumi Sera was keenly aware of this.

She thought that perhaps she could use this opportunity to get in touch with members of the mysterious organization.

"All I know is that it will be early tomorrow morning. The woman said she would tell me the handover location through the phone in my room at that time, and I just need to bring the computer over."

Kunio Koizumi said.

Masumi Sera and Conan finished questioning Kunio Koizumi and left the room.

"Ms. Sera, what are you doing?!"

After leaving the room, Conan looked directly at Sera Masumi and asked.

He saw that Sera Masumi had the same idea as he did at the beginning.

"Don't you think this is a good opportunity, kid? There aren't many opportunities to know exactly when and where someone from that organization will appear."

"This is too dangerous! Moreover, there are many police officers here today. We can't guarantee whether the members of the organization will show up as scheduled!"

"Yes, when the other party killed Mr. Kawasaki, he should have anticipated that the police would show up."

Sera Masumi said confidently.

"Assuming there hadn't been this dismemberment case, the police would have been able to confirm that Mr. Koizumi was not the murderer by checking the surveillance and investigating Mr. Koizumi's alibi."

"Even if the police don't find the real culprit, they can't keep Mr. Koizumi in the police station for more than 24 hours without solid evidence."

"So, the other party set the time for handing over the software to the early morning two days after killing Mr. Kawasaki."

"At that time, Mr. Koizumi must have the conditions to hand over the software."

"In the eyes of the organization, Mr. Koizumi will definitely not tell anyone about the software development for the sake of his family's safety, and Mr. Koizumi will definitely be able to hand over the software to them tomorrow morning."

After listening to what Sera Masumi said, Conan also felt that her judgment made some sense.

Kawasaki Ryo was killed because he had completed the task assigned to him by the organization.

The only thing left is the part that Kunio Koizumi is responsible for.

"However, due to the dismemberment case, the time for the police to arrive at Kosen-an was changed from last night to this morning."

"Outsiders don't know what happened here, but in the eyes of the organization, Mr. Koizumi probably waited until morning to call the police in order to continue developing the software."

“That way, the organization’s plans should continue.”

Sera Masumi said.

"When the other party calls tomorrow morning, we can use the voice changer to make them think that Mr. Koizumi is still in the hot spring hotel. Then we will know the location and time of the transaction."

"What if they have been monitoring Koizumi-an and know that Mr. Koizumi has been arrested by the police?"

Conan asked.

"That's even easier. If Mr. Koizumi can't make the deal, then the other party will only have one option left—"

"Sneak into Kosenan again and steal the computer."
