Conan Rick's Investigator

This pillar is actually connected to the server below, and there are six huge vertical screens above the pillar.

There are four control consoles at the bottom of the column, which are obviously the most core positions for engineers.

There are more than twenty computer desks distributed around the pillars, which should be secondary control consoles.

Director Makino walked to the middle and began to introduce the main staff of the studio to everyone.

"This is Grace from France..."

A woman with glasses sitting in the main control seat stood up and greeted Qin Zhibo and others.

"This is Reinhardt from Germany."

Another yellow-haired man who was sitting in the main control seat and operating the computer glanced over here and nodded as a greeting.

His hairstyle is completely straight up, and I wonder how much hairspray he needs in a day.

"And Ed from India..."

Makino glanced at the second control position at the edge, where a dark-skinned man with curly hair sat.

It seemed that he was sitting a little far away and did not hear being introduced, so he did not stand up to express himself.

"That's Dr. Agasa who just came here in the past few days..."

Dr. Agasa is naturally an old acquaintance.

At this time, Dr. Agasa was sitting at one of the main control seats, typing on the keyboard with full concentration, and he didn't pay any attention to the situation here.

When Qin Zhibo walked over and patted him on the shoulder, he came to his senses.

"Mr. Qin! You're here!"

"Well, are you used to it here?"

“Very good, the food here is pretty good~”

Dr. Agasa smiled and patted his belly, but Qin Zhibo felt that the doctor seemed to be thinner than before coming here.

As for the last engineer, it was Naomi Algent who came out to greet Qin Zhibo and others.

With Dr. Agasa's introduction, Qin Zhibo also learned about the current development progress of the system.

Originally, it would take at least a month for this monitoring system to be officially connected to the monitoring systems of all monitoring centers around the world, and then connect to monitoring equipment around the world.

However, due to the participation of Dr. Agasa and the artificial intelligence Noah's Ark, the preparation time of this server was greatly shortened.

In just three days, this system will be officially put into use.

Chapter 1481: Disappearance of Suzuki Shiro

"It'll take three more days..."

"It's the same day as the opening ceremony of the World Sports Festival."

Kuroda Heibei put his hands in his trouser pockets and murmured in a deep voice.

Qin Zhibo, who was standing next to him, was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

Today is July 7st, and three days later it will be July 21th, which is also the exact date when the World Sports Forum will open.

If what Kuroda Bei said is true, then these dates are actually consecutive?

……

Shibahama View Hotel, Tokyo.

In the lobby on the top floor of the hotel, a farewell party for the major sponsors of the Tokyo World Games is being held.

Conan, the three little ones and Mao Li Ran were invited by Suzuki Sonoko to come to this banquet.

On the stage, the promoter of this year's WSG and the crew chief of the vacuum superconducting maglev train were introducing the itinerary of this train to everyone.

However, Conan had already obtained first-hand information from Kudo Yusaku yesterday, so this itinerary was no longer surprising to him.

Similarly, the three little ones standing next to Conan also silently looked at the two female commentators on the stage with droopy faces, not showing any interest at all.

"what happened?"

"It's a rare occasion that I invite you to an occasion like this, why are you little brats so down today?"

Suzuki Sonoko, who was wearing a black and white corset skirt, pinched her waist and looked at the three little ones, and asked with a raised eyebrow.

Ran Mao Li, who was standing next to her, put her hands behind her back and explained with a smile: "It should be because Ai and Professor Agasa went out to participate in a scientific research activity these days, so these children feel a little bored, right?"

Conan has not yet told Mouri Ran about Haibara Ai’s kidnapping. Instead, he found an excuse and told the three little ones not to tell it.

Because he felt that if he told this to Ran Mouri, Ran would definitely become so worried that she would lose her appetite due to her kindness.

But in fact, no matter how worried Ran Mouri was, she couldn't rescue Haibara Ai immediately.

"Ah? Dr. Agasa took that little girl to participate in scientific research activities?"

"Don't you think it's a little strange?"

Yuanzi made a casual complaint, but didn't take it seriously, and continued: "By the way, Xiaolan, did you observe this venue carefully just now?"

"Ah?" Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

Yuanzi's mouth curled up slightly, her eyes sparkled, and she whispered in Xiaolan's ear: "Just now I saw a very handsome boy over there..."

As Mao Lilan followed Sonoko, she also looked in that direction, and sure enough, she saw a handsome boy wearing a black suit and brown hair.

The boy's face was somewhat similar to Kudo Shinichi, which made Mao Li Ran subconsciously stunned.

But if you look more closely, there are still some differences from Kudo Shinichi.

Conan also turned his gaze in that direction and was also stunned.

This person is...

At this moment, the lights on the ceiling suddenly went out and the entire venue fell into darkness.

The crowd who were toasting each other suddenly burst into an uproar with questioning tones.

power cut?

still is……

Conan frowned slightly and looked around subconsciously, only to see a blue-purple light suddenly appear in the crowd like lightning.

The moment the light appeared, I seemed to see a broad back in a white suit.

What light is that?

Conan, having a premonition, immediately turned on the flashlight function of his watch and raised his leg to move in that direction.

When I arrived at the location I remembered, I found that the figure and light source I had just seen had disappeared.

Conan shone the light of the watch-shaped flashlight around, trying to find some clues.

Suddenly, a big hand approached him from behind and pressed on the young shoulder.

Conan suddenly turned around and shone the flashlight into the other person's face, only to find that this was the person that Sonoko had been obsessed with just now.

Of course, Conan knew this person.

Because he is the high school detective who appeared in the Twilight Villa incident before - Hakuba Detective.

"Conan?"

Just as Bai Ma Tan was wondering, the emergency light on the ceiling suddenly lit up.

The guests in the venue also exclaimed in surprise.

And in this dim light, a short-haired lady with teardrop moles at the corners of her eyes was calling out to the surroundings not far away.

"Shiro? Where are you?"

"Shiro..."

Conan turned around and immediately recognized the woman as Suzuki Sonoko's mother, Suzuki Tomoko.

The two hurried over, and Bai Batan asked, "Mrs. Suzuki, what happened?"

Tomoko Suzuki turned her head and saw that the young man in front of her looked familiar, but she couldn't think of where she had seen him before.

But she didn't care about it, and quickly told her situation.

It turned out that when the power went out just now, Shiro Suzuki was standing next to her.

As a result, the emergency lights were on, but Shiro Suzuki was gone.

As soon as these words were spoken, Hakuba Tan and Conan frowned, and immediately thought of the strange flashes they saw in this direction when it was dark just now.

This is also the reason why the two of them came here at the same time.

Could it be that this matter is...

Conan and Hakuba both raised their chins at the same time, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's call the police first..."

……

After a while, the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division arrived at the scene.

Since the missing person is the chairman of the Suzuki Group, the largest conglomerate in Japan today, a team led by Inspector Megure quickly sealed off the entire hotel and prohibited anyone from entering or leaving.

However, despite this, Shiro Suzuki was still not found.

There was no response to the hotel's broadcast calls and the phone could not be reached.

After listening to his subordinate's report, Officer Megure held his chin up and said, "In this case, it could be a kidnapping case for the purpose of extorting a ransom..."

"Immediately investigate all vehicles that have left the hotel during this period."

"Yes!"

Sato and Takagi received the order and were about to leave.

But a figure appeared behind them and blocked Gao Zuo and the other man's way.

"Mr. Officer, I don't think we need to rush to search the perimeter of the hotel yet..."

"If my timing is correct, the total power outage lasted 30.245 seconds."

"The murderer used a stun gun to knock President Suzuki unconscious while the entire venue was dark, and then moved the unconscious President Suzuki out of the venue."

"But it's impossible for the murderer to move President Suzuki out of this hotel in such a short time."

"So President Suzuki must still be in this hotel..."

Inspector Megure, Sato and Takagi looked closely and saw a handsome young man in a black suit walking towards them.

He looks a bit like Kudo Shinichi, but if you look closely, his temperament is different from Kudo Shinichi.

"Who are you?" Sato asked warily.

"My name is Bai Ba Tan, and I'm a detective of some fame."

White Horse Detective?

When the three of them heard the name, they all felt it sounded familiar, as if they had heard it somewhere before.

Especially this surname, it makes people want to salute when they hear it.

Chapter 1482: Kidnapping 15 years ago

Bai Matan put his hands in his pockets, the corners of his mouth slightly raised with confidence, and continued to reason.

"Also, I just checked the hotel's surveillance and found that no one left the venue during the power outage."

"In other words, after knocking out President Suzuki, the murderer hid him somewhere in the venue and then waited for an opportunity to take him out of the venue."

"As for the method of taking it out..."

……

At the same time, on the other side, Conan, the three little ones, Sera Masumi, Mao Li Ran, and Suzuki Sonoko were looking for the whereabouts of President Suzuki in the kitchen.

Before the police arrived at the hotel, Conan and Hakuba had already thought of the surveillance cameras in the hotel corridor.
