Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 718 Exposed!

In his hotel room, Frank was tinkering with dark web transactions.

As an intelligence broker, he needs to sit in front of his computer whenever he has free time to process messages received from various places and the needs of his clients.

Of course, information like that about wineries is rare; most of what we see are trivial matters.

For example, internal documents of certain listed companies, the private lives of wealthy people, and the schedules of politicians.

At most, it's about the movements of some African countries, which involves various parties' gamesmanship. It's a relatively popular way to buy and sell information on the dark web, and it's quite profitable, just like oil.

Occasionally, I also browse the dark web to see if there's any information I need, or any orders that are worth taking.

Suddenly, the computer screen in front of me started flashing red, and a sharp noise, like fingernails scraping against a blackboard, came through the headset.

He reflexively ripped off his headset, his fingers clattering on the keyboard, his face gradually turning grim.

This sound means the computer's firewall has been triggered!
This shouldn't be the case. This computer's firewall is already top-of-the-line, and its IP address spans countless countries. No one should be able to locate him by following the network cable.

Moreover, the clients he just chatted with were all insignificant small-time clients who shouldn't have this kind of power.

In an instant, as if he had thought of something, he quickly switched the interface and saw that the grid on the screen had turned into snowflakes, and a mosaic funnel was continuously rotating in the middle of the screen.

The problem lies with the location signal transmitted by Joel!
Someone used that location signal to infiltrate the computer!
Although the intrusion was unsuccessful, the IP address was definitely exposed.

In the next room, Natsukawa received a call from Inspector Megure, but was forced to hang up before they could exchange more than a few words.

My phone suddenly lost signal!

Since it's in the city center and a hotel, even if the cell tower exploded, there would still be a signal. There's only one possibility!
Frank deliberately blocked the signal!

Upon opening the door, I saw Frank jumping around anxiously in the room, his computer screen still flashing red.

"what happened?"

Xia Chuan was startled and immediately sat down in front of the computer, trying to defend against IP attacks and the like.

However, after sitting for a while, he did not find any signs of the computer being hacked, although the firewall did display a message that the IP address had been leaked.

"what happened?"

As Frank tidied up the equipment and items in the room, he explained, "These are Joel's listening devices and locators. The signal source of that locator is not unique. Someone copied the signal source and then traced it back to its source."

"It's that thing she installed at Saijo Taiga's house! I hadn't noticed it before. What kind of good thing could be so easily bought by Joel on the dark web?"

"Not only this computer, but also the receiver that Joel left behind was detected at the same time."

By this time, Frank had already packed his things, slammed the computer screen shut, and pushed Xia Chuan out the door: "Fortunately, because the evidence we found was too shocking, I've already cleared the hotel's surveillance footage of us, and the check-in information is fake. As long as we leave, they can't do anything to us."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Xia Chuan turned his head and glanced at the living room, then looked at Frank's hand.

"Damn it, even so, we have no choice but to leave now!"

Frank also noticed that none of them were wearing gloves, and their fingerprints were left behind.

He, Natsukawa, and Shinichiro are all fine; one is dead and they have two false identities, and their fingerprints have never been leaked.

Koyo is a police officer with the Metropolitan Police Department, and his blood type, fingerprints, palm prints, and other information are stored in the database.

Shinmei Kaori would be even more easily exposed. An ordinary person wouldn't hide their DNA. If she had left her DNA information at the hospital, it would likely be exposed.
More importantly, they had no idea who the intruders were; an unseen enemy is even more terrifying.

Since they didn't have any bombs, it was too late to think of a solution at this point, so the two simply set the room on fire before leaving!

When Gin arrived downstairs at the hotel, seeing the fire truck parked at the entrance and a window billowing smoke overhead, he already knew what was going on. "It seems our operation was discovered beforehand."

"Strange, given Thomas Sindora's abilities, how could anyone have discovered the tracking program he designed!?"

Vodka muttered to himself, and almost instantly, as if he had just thought of something, he looked at Gin.

Gin also looked at him.

"DNA tracking program! Noah's Ark!" the two exclaimed in unison.

Although Noah's Ark explained at the Cocoon Games launch event that it had taken self-destruct measures, Gin and Thomas Sindora did not believe it.

They firmly believe that this artificial intelligence is still hiding in some cramped corner, spying on the development of the internet, and that it will make a comeback when it can once again roam the ocean of the internet.

But this day seems to have come earlier than expected.

Only Noah's Ark could reliably suppress Sindora's techniques.

This is where things get complicated.

Noah's Ark is in great danger. We don't even know if their invasion has been discovered. We must contact Thomas Sindora immediately and then deal with them slowly.

That night.

Ryukawa Ward, Kyoto.

A tall, thin man with a sinister face appeared in front of Gin carrying a silver briefcase.

"I heard you encountered Noah's Ark?"

The visitor was Thomas Sindora, who had been living under the distillery's surveillance ever since he was rescued by Gin.

It also provides technical support to the winery.

In this era of increasingly advanced technology, the development of information technology, to a certain extent, represents a country's strength, and the same applies to powerful wineries.

Thomas Sindora's arrival has indeed brought considerable benefits to the brewery.

With his cooperation, the distillery was able to bypass the Metropolitan Police Department's network firewall without leaving a trace, and access data as if it were unmanned.

As the storage of network information becomes more and more widespread, the role of this technology will become increasingly important, and one day, information warfare will become the second main battlefield of human warfare.

As for the primary battlefield, it has remained unchanged for millennia: physical attacks and global nuclear peace.

"Thomas, you're hard to get rid of. Have you forgotten that you were able to escape police forces in various countries thanks to your older brother?"

Heh, it's just a different prison.

Thomas Sindora smiled without saying a word, but her gaze toward the vodka already held a hint of disdain.

This guy is still the same as before, not very bright.

"Before I came here, I checked the data information returned by the software when I obtained the IP address and found that the style of the other party's firewall was indeed somewhat similar to Noah's Ark."

"But it's only similar."

Thomas Sindora shrugged: "If it were Noah's Ark, it would possess high intelligence and should have been detected the moment of the invasion."

"Moreover, Noah's Ark is completely based on the Internet, so it is absolutely impossible to find its IP address."
