Conan Rick's Investigator

The bells that ring again arouse hatred in my heart;

End it all, with your shoulders penetrating the white back.

……

Bells, magicians, hard-boiled eggs, pickled cucumbers, cakes...

amount……

What is this all about?

Kuroba Kaito was speechless in his heart.

Although I occasionally send such bizarre codes in notice letters, the purpose is just to add a sense of mystery.

After all, if the code is too difficult, there will be no police or audience for the "performance", and you will become a despicable thief who only takes advantage of people's unpreparedness.

The reputation of Phantom Thief Kidd inherited from his father cannot afford to disgrace this person.

However, this person's code was designed to be much more complicated than his own warning letter, and it seemed that he didn't want people to interpret it at all.

But if I follow my usual password design ideas...

"This notice..."

"No, it's the criminal's apocalypse. Shouldn't it hint at the time and place of the incident?"

Kuroba Kaito stood there, pointing at the words on the note and analyzing.

"Firstly, of these seven lines of code, only the first and second-to-last lines have anything to do with 'time'. It's possible the perpetrator is hinting at the timing of his attack..."

"The rest of the content might be hinting at the location of the attack."

Conan: Why did he say "take action" instead of "commit the crime"?

Kuroba Kaito turned to look at Sera Masumi, "Ms. Sera, is there a place in England that has a castle-like building with food stores, cake and dessert shops, and weapons and sword shops nearby?"

Shiliang Zhenjun scratched his head with a confused look on his face.

"Well... I haven't lived in London all my life, and I'm not completely familiar with the area, so I'm not entirely sure..."

Mao Lilan was surprised. "Huh? Miss Sera, weren't you born and raised in London?"

"Haha~" Sera laughed heartily, pointing at her own face and saying, "Look at my appearance, how could I be a native Londoner?"

"Actually, my mother moved to Japan with my brother and me before I was even born, and we didn't move here until three years ago..."

"So, compared to England, I should say I have more affection for Japan~"

Sera smiled cutely again and glanced at Conan and Kuroba Kaito respectively.

This gave the two bodies a feeling of electric shock at the same time.

Conan, Kaito: Hey~~What on earth is going on with this guy?

"By the way!" Sera said again, "You don't have to call me Sera anymore. You can call me by my name, Majun."

"Ms. Masumi?" Ran Mouri asked tentatively.

Shiliang reached out and patted Mao Lilan's shoulder, and said cheerfully: "No need

Miss Jia~ Just call me Zhenchun! "

"When you say 'Miss', it makes me seem like I'm much older than you..."

"Actually, I'm about the same age as you guys~"

Sera looks like he is laughing and laughing, but his personality is not difficult to get along with.

It's just that this overly enthusiastic Zilai Shu made the three people in a foreign country feel a little weird.

At this point, Sera added, "Although I've only been in London for three years, my mother is an old Londoner!"

"How about I call Mom and ask?"

Upon hearing this, Kuroba Kaito quickly nodded in agreement.

"That's good, maybe we can get some crucial clues..."

Now Kuroba Kaito can't wait to unlock the code, because moving around London, it is easy for Qin Zhibo to lose track of him.

But then again, since leaving the airport, I haven't seen Qin Zhibo again...

"Okay! I'll call Mom right now!"

Sera Masumi took out her mobile phone and ran to the side to make a call.

Conan also took out his mobile phone, glanced at the photo of the note, and then glanced at Kuroba Kaito behind him.

This guy just expressed his reasoning.

Although it was slightly different from my own thoughts, I also thought that the content on the note was hinting at a certain place.

It seems that this guy is not stupid either...

And his companions haven't shown up yet.

Conan's eyes looked around cautiously. On the busy street, no one was following them.

Have you given up on Kuroba Kaito?

Or do you believe that he can solve the current situation by himself?

Previously at the airport, Conan patted Dr. A Li's pocket, implying that the passport was placed with the doctor.

In fact, he put the passport on himself.

In this way, if this guy wants to secretly get his passport back, he will definitely fail.

Everything is within his own calculations, just waiting for this guy's companion to lose patience and show up...

Just then, Sera Masumi came back.

She shook her head and shrugged helplessly. "Unfortunately, my mother said there's no such place in London..."

Hearing this answer, Conan, Mao Lilan, and Kuroba Kaito all looked disappointed to varying degrees.

"In that case, we can only search each location one by one..."

……

the other side.

Mary hung up the phone and sat back down in her chair at the round table.

"That Masumi called and it seems like she's looking for somewhere to go with her friends from Japan. She probably won't be back for a while..."

"Let's continue with the topic we were discussing, regarding the powerful organization that threatens my husband, Wuwu, and my son, Shuichi..."

Just now, Qin Zhibo gave Mary a preliminary introduction to the organization that killed Haneda Hiroshi, persecuted Akai Tsutomu and the Miyano family 17 years ago, and made Akai Shuichi an undercover agent in F, which eventually caused him to lose his memory. In fact, they are all the same organization.

"This organization's signature color is black. They embrace mysticism and don't have a public name, so we can tentatively call it the 'Black Organization.'"

"Senior members of the organization all use the names of certain alcoholic beverages as their code names, such as gin, vodka, etc."

"As Wu Wu discovered during his investigation, this organization is incredibly powerful, and its activities span a wide range, including cross-border smuggling, arms trafficking, extortion, bank robbery... As long as there's money to be made, the organization is involved."

"However, these tasks are all low-level. Although the organization will provide some support, those who carry out these tasks are not senior members, but grassroots members who are like expendable goods."

"Most of these grassroots members will be secretly executed in various ways and for various reasons after helping the organization make money for a period of time, so it is difficult for the outside world to know.

Knowing that they are just working for the organization."

"Beyond these low-level businesses, the black organization has also made considerable inroads into legitimate industries. Currently, we know that the organization's minions are lurking in the financial and automotive sectors, and they have gradually grown into giants."

"The Black Organization is now arguably as wealthy as a nation, and they are using this wealth to focus on research in the fields of biomedicine and computers."

"They use their influence to recruit scientific research talents in related fields from around the world and bring them into the organization to conduct research for them."

"As for the purpose of their scientific research, I'm not sure at the moment..."

Although Qin Zhibo knows that the personal purpose of the organization boss may be to resurrect Cthulhu, there is no way to know the specific relationship between the layout of the entire organization and this purpose.

Because if the "Return of the Stars" theory is true, the organization does not need to plan these things, it just needs to wait for the opportunity to come.

When Mary heard the keyword "biomedicine", her eyes changed subtly.

After a moment of silence, her dark red lips uttered a few words.

"Karasuma Group..."

"This is the company that offered an olive branch to Elena's husband."

"But when I used MI6 to investigate the company, I discovered that my authority wasn't sufficient to investigate its background."

"That's when I started to have doubts and told the Miyano couple about my concerns."

"But I didn't expect them to ignore my warnings and ultimately join..."

Mary sipped a cup of black tea, with a seemingly calm expression, but in fact there was a trace of anger in her eyes.

It was obvious that she was very angry at her sister and brother-in-law's choice, and she still thinks about it to this day.

Qin Zhibo nodded in understanding. "Miyano Elena did mention the 'Karasuma Group' in the tape, and she and Miyano Atsushi eventually joined them..."

"It now appears that the Black Organization is indeed behind the Karasuma Group."

"Because the name of the organization's boss is Karasuma Renya."

Hearing the name, Mary frowned and repeated it doubtfully.

"Karasuma Ren?"

"right."

Qin Zhibo said seriously, "This man is quite famous in Japan. Decades ago, he was the country's leading tycoon."

"It was rumored that he had passed away forty years ago, but from what I have learned, he is still alive."

"Someone who should have died forty years ago is still alive?" Mary asked. "How old is he?"

Qin Zhibo shook his head. "I don't know his exact age, but he must be at least 140 years old... because when he passed away 40 years ago, he was already a centenarian."

"140 years old?"

Mary's originally calm face had an expression of surprise.

Although according to the "Hayflick limit", the theoretical maximum human lifespan should be 150 years.

But in fact, there have never been accurate records that can prove that any human being has reached this life span limit.

"So Karasuma Renya is actually from the 19th century?"

"Probably." Qin Zhibo replied.

Mary still felt a little incredible, even a little unreal.

Even if modern technology is so advanced, the world's well-known dignitaries have spent countless financial and material resources unable to break through the limits of life. At best, they are lingering.

However, he was overcome by an antique from the 19th century?

"Where did you get this information?" Mary still couldn't believe it, so she asked again.

But Qin Zhibo didn't want to answer this question head-on, because it would be too troublesome to explain it all, and there were many unspeakable secrets in it.

"This is not important. What is important is that during this long period of time, Karasuma Renye has built his own dark underground kingdom.

. '

"As Wuwu said, the organization's power is indeed enormous, so enormous that even his ability cannot shake it."

"Another point is that Karasuma Renya was not originally Japanese, but the son of a British nobleman."

"After murdering his biological father, he inherited his noble title and fiefdom from his father, and from then on began to cultivate his own power."

"So I think that England is the true birthplace of Karasuma Renya."

After listening to Qin Zhibo's words, Mary showed a look of surprise again.

As a native Londoner, she is very familiar with Britain.

And although the Sera family is not a prominent noble in Britain, they still have certain abilities in certain fields.

Because of this, Mary regards Elena, who left England, as her "sister outside the realm."

But she never expected that the boss of the organization would bring the "power of the territory" in the UK to its extreme.

"No wonder Wuwu suddenly told us to leave the UK after he went to the US to investigate the Haneda Koji case..."
