Conan Rick's Investigator

A terrorist organization stole the relevant technology of "Cocoon" and used it to create a super information bomb, which was widely released through the global broadcasting channels of the opening ceremony of the World Games.

This evidence has greatly increased the credibility of this announcement around the world, but it has also in disguise postponed indefinitely the period for lifting the ban on commercialization of related technologies of the "Cocoon" project.

After returning to Tokyo, Qin Zhibo went to Chengshi Hospital as soon as possible.

As the incident happened suddenly, nearby residents also suffered minor injuries to varying degrees.

Chengshi Hospital is now overcrowded.

When Cheng Shi saw the familiar figure standing in the corridor, he was stunned for a few seconds, then put down the work at hand and ran towards the other person desperately.

She opened her arms and hugged Qin Zhibo, burying her head in the man's broad shoulders and crying.

Qin Zhibo raised his hand and stroked the soft long hair, soothing her.

"Don't cry yet..."

"Look, who did I bring back?"

Cheng Shi turned his head away, his tearful eyes covered with a layer of water, but he could still see the quiet figure in the blur.

"Little sorrow!"

Cheng Shi rushed over, knelt on the ground, and hugged the small body in his arms.

Haibara Ai was stunned at first, then she opened her arms and hugged Cheng Shi as well.

"So warm..."

Conan, who was standing behind the two of them, put his hands in his pockets, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a knowing smile.

……

Time flies, and another month has passed in a flash.

Although the incident seems to be over, this month has not been peaceful.

The topic of "Cthulhu" has been hotly discussed around the world and has been at the top of the hot topic list for a month.

As more people discuss the issue, it is inevitable that some people who know the "truth about the world" will start to tell others what they know.

At the beginning, international officials tried to block the news and refute rumors to prevent the spread of related incidents and avoid causing panic among people again.

But the effect of doing so is counterproductive, and more and more conspiracy theorists are beginning to regard "explanation is cover-up, and cover-up is fact" as the truth.

In response to this situation, Qin Zhibo came up with a countermeasure.

That is to make things related to "Cthulhu" entertaining and popular, so that it loses its authenticity and divinity in people's cognition.

So, under the personal pen of Kudo Yusaku, it only took a week for a game called "Call of Cthulhu" to come out.

The story tells about a policeman who discovered the evil sacrificial rituals of local villagers during an investigation, and thus discovered the ancient god "Cthulhu".

As soon as this book was published, it became a best-seller worldwide.

Originally, "Cthulhu" was the core of the conspiracy theory, but after being re-conceived by a world-class best-selling writer, it was turned into a "myth" that has no authenticity.

"Cthulhu" and "Night Baron" are equated to a certain extent, and both are artificially fabricated.

In addition, Yusaku Kudo has also opened up Cthulhu-related secondary creations to the world.

Anyone can add the literary image of "Cthulhu" to the content of all forms of works, including literary works.

No copyright fees are charged!

With copyright open in this state and related topics remaining hot, more creators are investing in related creations.

For a time, the topic of "Cthulhu" became a hot topic again.

However, those conspiracy theories have been drowned out by the overwhelming secondary creations.

Some of these secondary creations are serious in nature, but since everyone has a different creative style, the tone naturally cannot be consistent.

Creative platforms dominated by young people have completely transformed "Cthulhu" into a pop culture symbol for memes.

For example, "Cthulhu·Candy", "Foreign Bodhisattva"...

"Please take a moment of your time to introduce you to our great Father and Savior - Cthulhu".

"In the eternal mansion of R'lyeh, the sleeping Cthulhu awaits your dreams"...

Not only do these memes have no divinity in the mouths of young people, but as more people play with them, they have become "rotten memes".

As a result, those who want to publish the Cthulhu conspiracy theory on the Internet will be labeled as people who play with bad memes.

In addition, since the authorities did not intervene to stop it, no one believed it anymore.

In addition to the war of public opinion, the organization behind this incident must also be arrested.

Pacific Buoy has locked onto the facial information of most of the cult's members by retrieving surveillance footage from the incident.

Based on this information, investigative organizations around the world worked together to quickly arrest a large number of pagans, dealing a heavy blow to these organizations.

It is only because these pagan organizations have been deeply rooted in various countries for many years that they have become well-established.

Especially during the period when the whole world was controlled by the Green Signal, the leaders of these organizations had never been openly exposed to surveillance, making it difficult to completely eradicate them in a short period of time.

Of course, it's only a matter of time.

However, for Qin Zhibo at the moment, what he is most concerned about is the instigator of all this.

The whereabouts of Karasuma Renya...

Chapter 1527 Return to Kunyang

Karasuma Renya, an old monster who has lived for about 150 years.

He is the initiator of the entire plan and may be the person who knows most about the truth of this world.

As Vermouth became a tainted witness for the police, the secret bases built by the black organization in various continents and countries around the world were eliminated one by one.

The organization's black industries and companies under the Karasuma Group were also thoroughly investigated and liquidated.

Members of the organization either resist to death or are arrested by the police.

For the few members who managed to escape police capture, their identity information was also entered into the Pacific Buoy’s facial recognition system, and they can only live a hidden life from then on.

But even though the huge empire that had taken hundreds of years of hard work to create was rapidly collapsing, Karasuma Renya, the behind-the-scenes boss of the organization, still did not take any action.

"That adult" seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, disappearing from everyone's sight...

……

"Mr. Akai just called and said that the British side has made a major breakthrough!"

"All the organization's bases in the UK have been breached, and two secret laboratories that we had not previously obtained intelligence on were also discovered."

Inside the National Police Agency's operations command room, Yuya Kazami excitedly reported to everyone.

Upon hearing this, Kuroda Heiwei, Furuya Rei and others smiled faintly.

After resuming his official position, Furutani Rei wore a dark blue suit with a black tie neatly tied inside his collar, looking like an ordinary office worker.

"In this way, all the important nodes in the spider web of the organization have been destroyed..."

Fūya Rei turned around and looked at the world map on the big screen. There were hundreds of red dots on the map.

Each red dot represents an organization's stronghold.

The reason why the organization's shady operations and black industries can remain secret is that they rely on these strongholds to provide accommodation, material transfer, equipment, etc.

Of course, these strongholds also have a hierarchical relationship, and generally the highest-level strongholds are located in the country’s capital.

Therefore, comparing an organization to a huge spider web is a very appropriate metaphor.

Kuroda Bei put his hands in his pockets and continued, "As long as we can eliminate all the hiding places of these pests, it will only be a matter of time before we catch the remaining members of the organization..."

Despite mobilizing the whole world's forces to thoroughly investigate the organization, only about 80% of the organization's members were arrested in more than a month.

After all, the organization's former ambition was to subvert the world, so it is normal for it to have such a foundation.

But now Qin Zhibo is not concerned about those members of the organization who have scattered like monkeys when the tree falls, but Karasuma Renya.

Logically speaking, Karasuma Renya should not have to watch the organization he had worked so hard to build being liquidated.

At least he would put up some struggle...

Moreover, Qin Zhibo knew very well that with his abilities, he could make some very effective struggles.

"The biggest problem now is the boss..."

Vermouth realized that there was something wrong with the address, paused, and changed the topic: "Karasuma Renya..."

She is now a tainted witness legally, but because of her great contributions during a period of great change in the world, she is allowed to follow the action team.

Compared to Vermouth, another member of the organization, Gin, has remained silent since being arrested by the police.

In order to prevent him from committing suicide, the police arranged a special cell for him.

However, considering that Gin was once a person who was sniped and killed in public, he may be arranged to undergo a wave of human research later.

As for Elena Miyano, she has been extradited to the UK and handed over to MI6.

After being extradited, Elena expressed her willingness to confess the information she knew, but on the condition that she could see her daughter Miyano Shiho again.

Originally, Haibara Ai was reluctant to meet Elena.

But Elena put forward a condition for the meeting, which was to help her develop an antidote for APTX-4869.

Elena is the real creator of APTX-4869. With her help, a permanent antidote will definitely be a piece of cake.

However, when Conan found out about this, he did not encourage Haibara Ai to meet Elena, but let her make her own choice.

After thinking about it for a whole night, Haibara Ai finally agreed.

Accompanied by Cheng Shi, Haibara Ai flew to England to meet Elena.

It is said that the two sides were separated by a layer of tempered glass and the conversation lasted only 10 minutes.

Outsiders have no way of knowing what the mother and daughter talked about specifically.

When Haibara Ai returned to Japan, she had already obtained a detailed formula of APTX-4869 from Elena.

This is also the important information that Haibara Ai wants to create a permanent antidote but has always been missing.

Back to the present.

When Qin Zhibo heard what Vermouth said, he suddenly remembered what Vermouth had said on the organization's oil tanker about the logic of the organization's boss's appearance.

The boss of the organization never goes out all year round, but whenever the boss wants to meet a member of the organization in person, he will be arranged to meet at a random location around the world.

As for his itinerary and the means of transportation he used, no one knows.

Generally speaking, when ordinary people hear this logic, they will guess that the boss of the organization has his own confidants, so he can keep his whereabouts completely secret.

It is precisely based on this point that when Gin learned of "Michael's" origin, he judged him to be a close confidant of the boss.

But in Qin Zhibo's mind, there was another idea to solve the problem.

If Uramaru Renye had ever been to the abyss Enkai in the underground world when he was young, he would definitely know that the underground world Kunyang is the boundary between the real world and the dreamland.

As long as you pass through the Yushi of Kunyang and go to a deeper world, you will actually arrive at the "Tomb of Xin" in the Dreamland.

That is the territory of the ghouls, and the ghouls' burrows can be connected to tombs or mountains anywhere in the real world.

Although for ordinary people, it is very difficult to go to the underground world of Kunyang.

But don't forget that behind the temple where Tsathoggua lives, there is a portal left by the great magician Ebon.

Although this portal was covered with a brick wall, Urawa Renye had lived in the Kunyang tribe for many years and should have mastered particleization, allowing him to pass through walls at will.

In other words, as long as Karasuma Renya himself lives on the other side of the portal, he can travel to somewhere in the real world through this route at any time.

This path will not be discovered by anyone.

Because from the perspective of the real world alone, Karasuma Renya simply entered a door and then walked out of a cave on the other side of the world.

As for the risks along the way, Karasuma Renya must have mastered some method to pass safely.

Now, all the organization's bases around the world have been eliminated, and there is still no trace of Karasuma Renya.

After eliminating all the impossible, the only thing left is the correct answer.

Karasuma Renya is now behind that portal!
