Conan Rick's Investigator

"I'll call Suzuki Sonoko right now..."

After a while, Qin Zhibo got permission from Suzuki Sonoko.

However, the only problem is that due to an accident in the laboratory when Qin Zhibo came over to play games last time, all research on "Cocoon" has been stopped by Suzuki's senior management.

"So, Uncle Qin, if you come to play, there are no supporting technicians..."

Suzuki Sonoko thought Qin Zhibo was here to satisfy his gaming addiction again.

But Qin Zhibo smiled and replied: "It doesn't matter, we can provide our own technical personnel."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhibo looked at Dr. Agasa.

"Dr. Agasa, please make the trip..."

"I?"

Dr. Agasa was stunned for a moment, but quickly accepted his fate.

"Ok."

Just then, a faint voice came from behind them.

"Where are you going?"

Qin Zhibo turned his head and saw Huibara Ai wearing a tank top and shorts, standing at the door with her arms folded.

Dr. Agasa's smile was a little stiff. "Ai-chan, you're back?"

"Ah."

Huihara Ai nodded.

She had just gone to Chengshi Hospital, so she didn't meet Qin Zhibo and others.

After I came back, I saw the three little ones coming. I heard that Qin Zhibo and Conan went to the basement and wanted to play "Cocoon" again, so I came over to check out the situation.

"So where are you going?"

"Go..." Dr. Agasa didn't know how to explain, because he was not very clear about the specific situation.

At this time, Conan slowly stepped forward and asked, "We now have a plan to restore the memory of the woman in that organization."

"But I need your help..."

Hearing this, Huibara Ai's mood sank.

Ever since she knew that the woman was also a member of the organization, she did not support letting the woman recover her memory.

Because doing so is too dangerous. Once the other party recovers his memory, he may kill everyone he has come into contact with during this period, even children.

That's the style of the organization.

"no……"

Huibara Ai shook her head slightly, and there was even a hint of pitiful pleading in her eyes.

"please……"

Faced with the weak voice of Haibara Ai, Conan's eyes were slightly stunned and somewhat moved.

But then, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes firm as he said: "Habara, don't try to escape your fate."

"Although the road ahead is full of thorns, I don't want to escape my fate..."

Conan's words, in turn, moved Haibara Ai a little.

Conan continued earnestly, "And haven't you noticed that when you choose to fight against fate, you meet more and more like-minded partners, right?"

"Think back, if you hadn't chosen to fight against fate, would you still be able to meet us today?"

Conan's words were like a thunder, exploding in Haibara Ai's mind.

Once upon a time, she felt hopeless about life after learning of her sister's death, so she gave up everything and fought the organization to the end.

When she was locked in a secret room waiting to die, it was a pill of APTX-4869 in her pocket that gave her a glimmer of hope.

yes……

If death was my fate, why did I choose to take that pill?

Is it to commit suicide?

No.

Haibara Ai still remembers that when she took out the pill from her pocket, the first thing that came to her mind was not the tragic scene of most of the mice in the laboratory dying after taking the pill.

But it was the only surviving white mouse in the mouse box.

I thought there might still be a glimmer of hope after taking the medicine, so I chose to take the capsule.

The silent atmosphere lasted for more than ten seconds, and Huibara Ai's eyes finally revealed a hint of relief.

"What you said makes sense..."

"If I hadn't been the only surviving mouse in the laboratory, I wouldn't have taken the capsule."

"Perhaps from that moment on, I have been fighting against my own destiny."

Conan looked at Haibara Ai who was gradually coming to terms with her feelings and smiled knowingly.

"So you agree to help?"

"Of course you can, but you have to ensure my safety. I don't want to waste the life I have managed to survive..."

Haibara Ai returned to her usual tsundere tone of voice, which made Conan quite helpless.

"well……"

"It's enough to say a good word once."

"..."

Looking at the scene of two boys and girls of similar real age bickering, Dr. Agasa smiled with relief.

Only Qin Zhibo, who was standing aside, was somewhat skeptical about what Huibara Ai had just said.

Haibara Ai said that she chose to take drug A because there was a little white mouse still alive in the laboratory.

The meaning of this should be that among the mice used in the experiment on Drug A, one was still alive after taking the drug, which means that the mortality rate of Drug A is not 100%, and it can even shrink the body.

However, Qin Zhibo, who returned from London, learned that Conan and Haibara Ai, who had taken drug A and had their bodies shrunk, actually had the same bloodline.

That is the boss of the organization, Karasuma Renya.

Conan's bloodline comes from the Kuroba family, which was established by Karasuma Renya after he came to Japan.

Haibara Ai's bloodline comes from Karasuma Ren'ya's biological mother when she was in England, that is, the Sera family.

If the main reason why Drug A can shrink people is because of the same bloodline as Karasuma Renya, then what is the principle behind Drug A allowing mice to survive and shrink?

Does the mouse also have Karasuma Renya's bloodline?

This doesn't seem possible...

But how do we explain the experiments that Haibara Ai conducted herself?

Why did the only surviving mouse in the laboratory survive?

Is it the effect of the medicine?

Or... someone's will?

"Qin, can we go to the Suzuki Building now?"

Just then, Conan interrupted Qin Zhibo's thoughts.

“…Oh, yeah.”

Qin Zhibo suddenly came to his senses and nodded.

Conan noticed that something was wrong with Qin Zhibo's expression, so he asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else you need to prepare?"

Qin Zhibo looked down at Conan's serious face, feeling a little heavy.

"Do not……"

"There's nothing to prepare."

Chapter 1443 Ready

Qin Zhibo was unable to express his conjecture about the theory of bloodline now.

Even Conan would probably be heartbroken if he knew that his bloodline might come from the boss behind the organization.

And at present, this matter cannot be 100% confirmed.

Last time in London, through the DNA tracking system developed by Hiroki Sawada, I found that Conan and Akai Mary had a high probability of having the same ancestor...

Before getting the boss's blood sample, everything could be uncertain.

……

The group took two cars and arrived at the Suzuki Group's technology research and development building.

After being received by the staff, Qin Zhibo, Dr. Agasa, and the Junior Detective Team came to the floor responsible for the research of the "Cocoon" project.

The entire floor has been under lockdown since the last virus invasion.

"Invasion? What virus invasion accident?"

Conan asked the staff curiously.

The staff member was about to explain when he was interrupted by Qin Zhibo.

"Let's first confirm whether the machine can be used... Dr. Agasa, I'll leave this to you."

"no problem."

Dr. Agasa nodded, sat down on the chair in front of the central control panel, turned on the computer, and danced his hands on the keyboard.

As one of the developers of "Cocoon", Dr. Agasa was familiar with the operation as he personally operated the control panel at the "Cocoon" launch conference in Japan to "battle wits and courage" with Noah's Ark.

Soon, Dr. Agasa searched it.

“The game development components are basically complete, but the only thing missing is ray tracing technology.”

"What is ray tracing?" Conan asked.

Dr. Agasa turned his chair and explained: "Ray tracing is to use digital methods to determine the path and trajectory of light in an image..."

"The game screen using this technology can achieve a lighting environment closer to the real world, such as flexible reflections in water, light reflections on the surface of mirror objects, etc."

“Will that affect the set-up?”

"Probably not..." Dr. Agasa paused, "But it should be impossible to reach the level of graphics of the games originally built into Cocoon."

Qin Zhibo, who was standing aside, was not surprised by this situation.

Sindora Company went bankrupt, and the company's valuable patented technologies were divided up by investors to pay off debts.

I guess the ray tracing technology was taken away by some graphics card company?

"It doesn't matter if the picture is a little flawed, let's get started now."

Qin Zhibo took out a USB flash drive and plugged it into the external socket on the console.

A Q version of Hiroki Sawada pops out.

Returning to this familiar machine, Hiroki Sawada immediately established a local area network to avoid the intrusion of green signals.

In fact, except for the software produced by Taku Itakura, which can capture the green signals in the public Internet in a targeted manner, the green signal itself will not invade personal computers for no reason.

The only thing to worry about is that Hiroki Sawada himself is "delicious bait" for the green signal.

But as long as activities are carried out within an encrypted LAN and do not enter the civilian public Internet, it is like covering it with a cover and the fragrance cannot escape.

After establishing a secure network environment, Qin Zhibo began to collect various information about Dongdu Aquarium online.

After searching, I found out that the largest investor in Toudou Aquarium is the Suzuki Group.

Now that we know this, things will be much easier.

Qin Zhibo called Suzuki Sonoko again and asked her for the project blueprint of the Toudu Aquarium.
