In Conan, people have a brain option system.

Chapter 184 The Detective’s Thoughts (22)

Haibara Ai originally came with Professor Agasa to pick up Conan. She wanted to ask what happened today and why Sera Masumi appeared here?
As a result, since Akikawa Sosuke also wanted to go back with them, Haibara Ai naturally couldn't ask.

Dr. Agasa was driving and Haibara Ai sat in the passenger seat.

Naturally, the back seat was left to Akikawa Sousuke and Conan.

Conan invited Akikawa Sosuke not only out of politeness, but he actually felt a little apologetic towards Akikawa Sosuke in his heart.

Although Conan doesn't think that Akikawa Sorasuke's misfortune has anything to do with him.

But this morning, after Conan noticed the bag emitting the stench of a corpse, he used Akikawa Sosuke to find the body.

As a result, this poor artist, who had been under house arrest by his mother, witnessed the horrific appearance of a person being dismembered, and even caused Akikawa Sosuke to vomit uncontrollably.

This time, the facts are irrefutable.

Akikawa Sosuke was indeed involved in the incident by Conan.

Originally, Conan thought that one of him or Akikawa Sousuke would have to sit in the front.

But I didn't expect that Haibara Ai would follow me.

Akikawa Sosuke, who was sitting in the back seat, said nothing and just kept looking down at his phone.

Conan felt extremely uncomfortable due to the awkward silent atmosphere.

The awkward silence lasted all the way.

When they arrived at the entrance of Kosenan and Akikawa Sosuke was about to get off the car, Conan suddenly spoke:

"Thank you for today, Brother Qiuchuan."

"what?"

Akikawa Sosuke looked back in confusion.

"Thank you for helping to call the police, and for reminding us that Kosen-an is a holy place for programmers."

"Didn't Conan go and negotiate with the police?"

Akikawa Sosuke showed a confused expression.

"And what's wrong with the holy land of programmers? Why is there anything to be thankful for?"

Conan looked at Akikawa Sosuke's confused expression, and suddenly reached out to hold his forehead.

He suddenly began to regret talking to Akikawa Sosuke. He should have let him go back directly.

"Uh... Anyway, thank you."

"Oh."

Akikawa Sosuke agreed with a puzzled look on his face, then got out of the car and went back to the hot spring hotel.

Dr. Agasa restarted the car and parked it in the parking lot of Kozenan.

"Shinichi, what happened?"

Dr. Agasa, who was driving, looked up at Conan in the rearview mirror and asked.

"There was a dismemberment case in the hot spring hotel this morning."

Because of his concern for Haibara Ai, Conan did not tell anyone about the organization.

"So, that artist is involved in a case again by you, right?"

Haibara Ai curled up the corners of her mouth and said to Conan who turned around.

Conan felt a little embarrassed when Haibara Ai saw through his truth.

"Who would have thought that Qiuchuan would go to the hot spring at five o'clock in the morning!"

"And the dismembered body was thrown into the hot spring pool."

"There were no other adults around at the time, so I had no choice but to look for him."

Conan said.

"So, Kudo-kun, you reminded that Akikawa and asked him to tell you the truth?"

When Conan heard Haibara Ai mention this matter, he immediately put on a mask of pain.

"Oh, don't mention it."

"That Akikawa feels even more… than Sonoko."

When Conan said this, he suddenly realized that it was not good to say bad things about others behind their backs, so he quickly changed his words.

"That Akikawa is really not suitable for reasoning. If Miss Sera hadn't suddenly appeared, I really don't know how to proceed with today's case." Conan said tactfully.

However, both Dr. Agasa and Haibara Ai could tell that Akikawa Sousuke didn't seem to be very smart.

"Kudou-kun, why is that Sera here?"

Huihara Ai asked again.

"I don't know why Ms. Sera came to Hakone. She said she saw a police car when she passed by after finishing her work, so she came here."

"oh…"

Haibara Ai was obviously not satisfied with Conan's answer.

But she could also see that Conan was not deceiving her.

"I'll go up and call Yuantai and the others down now, and then you just need to hurry back to Tokyo."

"Eh? Shinichi, aren't you going back?"

Dr. Agasa asked.

"Well, the case here is not over yet. I will go back with Miss Sera tomorrow."

Conan said as he jumped out of the car.

Conan called Genta, Ayumi and others downstairs.

Then we came to Kunio Koizumi's room.

Then I saw Masumi Sera using Kunio Koizumi's computer.

Conan was shocked and was about to ask if Masumi Sera would be discovered by the organization if she was using Kunio Koizumi's computer like this?

Then, as if seeing through his inner thoughts, Sera Masumi spoke:
"It has been confirmed that there are no cameras or listening devices in the room."

"The computer only has positioning software, but no monitoring software."

"Ms. Sera, you are really quick..."

Conan complained helplessly and then asked:

"Ms. Sera, why are you in Hakone this time?"

"Nothing, just come here to hang out."

"If there's nothing going on, Ms. Sera shouldn't stay out all night, right?"

Conan looked at Sera Masumi and asked.

But he knew that there was another person hiding in the hotel where Sera Masumi was staying in Tokyo.

Unless there are special circumstances, Masumi Sera will basically have to go back to the hotel.

"Ms. Sera, you showed up at Kosenan so early today, and it seems like you put a lot of stuff in your backpack. It's obvious that you stayed nearby last night."

"Don't ask about girls' privacy casually."

"Ok."

When Conan heard what Sera Masumi said, he stopped asking questions.

"Speaking of which, can you tell me about that Itakura Taku?"

“Similar cases have happened before.”

As Conan spoke, he told Sera Masumi the entire story of Itakura Taku's case.

It also involves the affairs of the organization's members Tequila, Vodka, Gin and Vermouth.

"In other words, the organization obtained a list of outstanding software engineers in the industry and asked the software engineers on the list to help develop software."

"The unexpected death of Itakura Taku, who was in charge of the core part of the software, did not stop their plan to develop the software."

"Then the organization will probably continue to look for other programmers to help develop software."

"We were lucky enough to meet them this time, but what will we do next time? According to that Itakura Taku, this software concerns the fate of mankind, and we absolutely cannot let them complete it!"

In response to Sera Masumi's question, Conan spread his hands and said that he couldn't think of a good solution either.

He wondered if he could ask Toru Amuro later and let him find out the details of the situation.

But Sera Masumi's idea is,

We must seize this opportunity to catch the murderer who killed Kawasaki Ryo and Akikawa Ryoko, and then ask her about the organization's purpose and base.
