Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Inspector Megure hasn't been feeling comfortable at the Metropolitan Police Department lately.

Although the officers concealed their gazes very well.

But he could still see something that made him very uncomfortable.

Moreover, although he didn't hear any sound, Inspector Megure had a feeling that many people around him were talking about him.

This feeling is really unpleasant.

Inspector Megure even considered taking a few months off so that everyone would forget about the incident.

But asking for leave is a silent admission, making one appear guilty.

Inspector Megure rubbed his forehead.

Why has this illness, which I haven't had in a long time, relapsed? I should probably see a psychologist.

"Mr. Shoichi? Is there something you need from the Metropolitan Police Department?"

“I’m here to see Director Bai Ma,” Zheng Yi said.

"Director Hakuba?" Inspector Megure was taken aback.

Is Zheng Yi finally going to bypass them and speak directly with Director Bai Ma?

In that case, they probably won't become potential lackeys of the Zhengyi sect, right?

"Please lead the way."

"Uh, okay."

Inspector Megure led Shoichi to Director Hakuba's office.

After knocking and entering.

Director Bai Ma stood up to greet Zheng Yi and poured him a glass of water.

"Megure," Director Hakuba said, "Since you brought Mr. Shoichi here, you should also participate in the high-level meeting."

"Huh? Me?" Inspector Megure pointed to himself.

Am I qualified?
Furthermore, in what capacity did Zheng Yi participate in the high-level meeting?
Inspector Megure looked at Director Hakuba.

I feel that Director Bai Ma only allowed me to participate in high-level meetings because he saw me as a lackey of Zheng Yi.

Inspector Megure followed them into the conference room in a daze.

It was indeed a high-level meeting.

Those in attendance included Director Hakuba, Toshiro Odagiri, Kiyonaga Matsumoto, and Shintaro Chaki.

Inspector Megure felt out of place here.

He sat in the chair, not daring to make a sound.

Director Bai Ma spoke first: "Mr. Zheng Yi, are you sure your company's AI is really that powerful?"

He also received instructions from higher authorities.

Get the Metropolitan Police Department and the Justice Group to cooperate.

The AI ​​developed by the Justice Group is highly intelligent and powerful, and will greatly improve the efficiency of the Metropolitan Police Department.

“Of course, Inspector Megure should know that he has already witnessed it once,” Masakazu said.

"what?"

Several pairs of eyes were staring intently at him, putting Inspector Megure under immense pressure.

He hurriedly asked, "Is it that death app?"

“That’s right.” Zheng Yi nodded.

"It's truly remarkable that it can analyze the cause of a person's death. I never imagined that such a powerful AI would exist in the world," Inspector Megure said.

He wasn't sure if this was AI or not.

Zheng Yi opened his laptop and released Hiroki.

Hiroki greeted these high-ranking officials from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Director Bai Ma and others also curiously tested Hiroki's reaction and found that he was indeed too intelligent.

Hongshu was able to answer some of the questions they asked very quickly.

The white horse director is quite incredible.

Has technology developed this fast already? Such powerful artificial intelligence has already emerged.

Director Bai Ma wouldn't be surprised if a robot with human-like thinking appeared between the two of them.

Inspector Megure was also taken aback by Hiroki.

Zheng Yi said, "You should all have seen the cooperation proposal I submitted. It's about using Macrotree to build a prophetic system for crime prediction and prevention."

AI will analyze massive amounts of historical case data, weather, dates, economic data, and even tram schedules to generate dynamic crime prediction hotspot maps, thereby guiding patrol officers to conduct precise preventative patrols.

If they can deduce the manner of death, it's not surprising that they can also deduce crime hotspot maps.

After Zheng Yi revealed his first ability.

Several high-ranking officials in the Metropolitan Police Department did not react much.

Zheng Yi said with a smile, "In recent years, the public in the newspapers has been criticizing the Metropolitan Police Department for its incompetence."

They even regarded detectives as saviors of the Metropolitan Police Department.

In my opinion, this is an insult to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Everyone's gaze turned serious.

This is indeed one of the two great disgracees of the Metropolitan Police Department.

How much do you underestimate the Metropolitan Police Department if a high school student can be considered its savior?

That's utterly disgraceful.

Another disgrace is that people generally believe the Metropolitan Police Department is a lackey of the Central Police Department.

Zheng Yi continued, "Hongshu can break down information barriers and build a unified national physical evidence information platform."

Advanced image processing algorithms can also be used to perform super-resolution reconstruction of blurry faces and license plates, making them identifiable.

Similarly, it can filter out background noise in recordings and isolate key conversations.

It can analyze the criminal's psychological state or unique behavioral habits, identifying the killer faster than a detective.

This method of finding the culprit faster than detectives certainly hit the Metropolitan Police Department where it hurts.

If I could find the murderer faster than a detective.

That would indeed greatly change the public's perception of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"What about privacy?" Matsumoto Kiyonaga asked with some concern.

If this artificial intelligence is really that powerful.

Does that mean everyone has absolutely no privacy in front of the Justice Group?

“There’s absolutely no need to worry about that. The Justice Group respects everyone’s privacy,” Zheng Yi said.

Director Bai Ma looked at Zheng Yi.

I don't really believe what Zheng Yi said.

However, they believe that the Justice Group has grown to its current size and has reached the pinnacle of the world in the field of AI.

It shouldn't affect the privacy of ordinary people.

“Then let’s talk about the fees,” said Director Bai Ma.

Cooperation was something that had already been agreed upon above.

They held this meeting simply to see if this artificial intelligence was reliable.

The cooperation with the Metropolitan Police Department is not a one-off deal.

It involves the development, maintenance, upgrades, and continuous data analysis services of the system.

This will provide the Justice Group with a long-term, stable, and substantial source of income.

Given the huge sum of money involved, Director Bai Ma naturally wanted to have a serious talk with them.

But Zheng Yi doesn't seem to care about the amount.

After giving a random number, Director Bai Ma made his first counter-offer, which Zheng Yi immediately accepted.

Director Bai Ma felt he had asked for too high a price.

Zheng Yi smiled and said, "I promised Hong Shu that I would work with him to make this world a better place."

Our goal is to combat criminals and reduce the number of victims.

So, the fees are up to you, as long as we don't lose money.

Zheng Yixiao had never been so open and honest before.

"You made an agreement with Hiroki? This AI?" Director Bai Ma pointed at the computer screen in confusion.

"Yes."

Hongshu on the screen scratched his head.

At this moment, he felt that Zheng Yi really seemed like a good person. (End of Chapter)
