Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

“What about copyright?”

Chi Feichi reminded Funaiko Nakai and poured cold water on her head.

Funako Nakai was not so excited for a moment, and said with some frustration, "I also want to solve the copyright problem as soon as possible, but I neither have enough money to buy the copyright, nor am I a well-known game designer, or even a student majoring in game design. How can I do this?" The games that came out were not that good, and it was impossible to convince the original author to cooperate with me..."

"And the works that have been released may also involve the rights to use the works that the publishing company has agreed with the original author. If you want to make a series of games, it would be better to find out about the situation first," Chi Feichi said from the magazine on his desk. He dug out a leaflet from the pile, walked to the coffee table, put the leaflet in front of Funako Nakai, and took a water glass and sat on the sofa opposite, "Or, you can try to participate in Starlight Company's game design competition. The competition has multiple projects such as plot design and character design. Amateurs can also participate. You can choose a design project that you are confident about and give it a try. If you get good results in the competition, you will not only get a bonus, but also Join Starlight Company or cooperate with Starlight Company..."

"At that time, I can ask Starlight Company to help me get the copyright, and I will provide creativity and design. I will cooperate with Starlight Company to officially release the game I designed, right?" Nakai Funako looked at the flyer in front of her. , there seemed to be fire burning in his eyes, he bit his index finger with his teeth, trying to restrain his excitement, "Even if Starlight Company is not willing to help me get the game copyright, I can try to get the money myself after I get the bonus. Go buy the rights to use the Lord of the Mirage game, woohoo... This opportunity to get the Lord of the Mirage is really hard to refuse!”

Conan saw Funako Nakai's enthusiastic expression as she wanted to get into the leaflet, and silently sat a little further away.

Nakai Funako quickly hesitated again, raised her head and cast a look at Chi Feichi asking for help, "But, can I really do it?"

"You won't lose much if you give it a try, right?" Chi Feichi asked.

Starlight Company is a game company owned by Umbrella. It is currently in the early stages of development and is in urgent need of game designers, so it decided to hold this type of competition.

This competition will last for a long time, and Funako Nakai can prepare for a while before participating. If Funako Nakai can get good results in the trials, Funako Nakai will have the opportunity to realize her wish, and he will also help Starlight Company gain something. A capable designer, and if Funako Nakai doesn't get good results, he and Funako Nakai won't actually lose much, so it's better to let Funako Nakai give it a try boldly.

"That's right," Funako Nakai looked at the flyer again, cheering herself up in her heart, and her expression became determined, "Then I'll give it a try!"

"Well..." Conan saw that Funako Nakai was looking at the flyer again and again, as if he had forgotten the purpose of his visit, so he reminded her a little speechlessly, "Miss Funaqi, why did you come to commission a detective? ? Didn’t you say it was an emergency?”

"Ah, I almost forgot this!" Nakai Funako hurriedly folded the leaflet and put it into her pocket, "Master Chi, please give me this leaflet! Also, I want to find a detective to investigate. The matter is indeed urgent..."

Conan: "..."

To be honest, he really couldn't see how urgent what Miss Fonacchi said was. At least Miss Fonacchi didn't seem to be very anxious. At this time, she didn't forget to put the leaflet away...

"The thing is like this..." Funako Nakai took out her mobile phone from her pocket, lowered her head and pulled out a photo, and raised the mobile phone so that Chi Feichi, who was sitting opposite, could see the photo on the mobile phone, with worried and nervous eyes. He stared at Chi Feichi, "This person I know suddenly disappeared from this world. I hope you can help me find him!"

disappear?

Conan placed the cup of orange juice on the coffee table, leaned forward and looked at Funako Nakai's cell phone screen, a trace of confusion quickly appeared on his face.

In the photo, a young man turned his back to the camera and seemed to be walking towards the door in front of him. He looked towards the door and did not look at the camera on the left rear of his body at all.

Weird, this photo…

"The other party showed no signs of cooperating in taking photos, and seemed completely unaware that he was being photographed." Chi Feichi looked at the photos on his phone and asked bluntly, "Did you secretly take this photo?"

"Yes, yes..." Nakai Funako blushed with some guilt, and used her mobile phone to pull out a picture of an avatar. She raised her phone to show the picture to Chi Feichi, "This is the Lord of Mirage in the game. Photos, don’t you think they look alike? I was really surprised when I saw him on the road that day. It felt like the Lord of Mirage had stepped out of the game, so I couldn’t help but take that photo..."

"Is he really someone you know?" Conan couldn't help but confirm with Funako Nakai, "Or, you just accidentally saw him on the road and became interested in him, so you wanted to ask the detective to help you find him. ah?"

"Things are not that simple!" Funako Nakai put down her phone and said seriously, "The day I took the photo, I followed him to his residence. In the next two days, I have been secretly paying attention to his According to his movements, it is certain that he lives there..."

Conan: "?"

Secretly photographing, following, and always paying attention...

Isn't this stalker behavior?

Things are indeed not simple.

"Until the afternoon before yesterday, I finally made up my mind and decided to pay him a formal visit. But when I arrived at his house, the door was not locked and no one was in the house, so I left first," Nakai Funako looked worried and continued, "Yesterday morning, I went to his house again, but he was still not at home, and his house was no different from when I went there the day before yesterday. It seemed that he didn't go home all night..."

Conan: "..."

A stranger who had never met before repeatedly entered other people's homes to observe without the owner's permission... Miss Funako doesn't think her behavior is scary?

"I was really worried, so I went to the Maori Detective Agency to find Mr. Maori and asked him to help investigate his whereabouts, but after Mr. Maori found out that I had only secretly photographed him, he refused me," Nakai Funako looked at Chi Feichi helplessly, "I wanted to hide the relationship between him and me today, and asked you to investigate, but I didn't expect it to be discovered..."

Conan: "..."

Hey, how can you hide something that even Uncle Kogoro can find out?

"Before accepting a commission, a detective will definitely understand the situation," Chi Feichi said to Nakai Funako calmly, "It's not that easy to be deceived."

Nakai Funako sighed, "I've experienced it..."

Conan felt that Nakai Funako was not a bad guy, so he didn't rush to blame Nakai Funako's behavior. He focused on the disappearance, "Ms. Funaki, you didn't see anyone at the other party's home. Could it be that you were tracking and monitoring the other party before, and the other party was discovered, and the other party was worried about his personal safety, so he didn't go home and hid at a friend's house?"

"Are you saying that he was scared by me? But yesterday After being rejected by Mr. Maori, I went to his house again, trying to find some evidence of his accident to show Mr. Maori, and then I found that his door lock had been pried open. I think he must have been in trouble, and he will come to Mr. Maori for help again tomorrow," Nakai Funako stood up and walked to the sofa, squatted down, opened the suitcase she brought, took out a notebook from the box, and handed the notebook to Chi Feichi with a serious face, "and when I went to his house yesterday afternoon, I also found this on his desk at home..." Chi Feichi took the notebook, looked down at the cover, opened the notebook, and read the contents inside. The title of "Criminal Plan" was written on the cover of this notebook. It recorded the purchase date and situation of a jewelry store, some hand-drawn maps, and a page of the environment map of the jewelry store, on which all the equipment of the jewelry store was marked. In addition, it also recorded a jewelry store robbery plan, which wrote down the route of jewelry transportation, when the transporter entered the store, and when it was appropriate to start. When Chi Feichi was flipping through the notebook, Conan came to Chi Feichi's side, leaned over and read the contents of the notebook with Chi Feichi, his expression became more and more solemn. After Chi Feichi turned the last page, he looked up at Chi Feichi and whispered, "Brother Chi, the jewelry store's purchase rules and routes, and the security situation in the jewelry store are recorded so clearly, it doesn't seem like a joke..."

Chi Feichi nodded to Conan and sorted out the current known information in his mind.

This crime plan is recorded in great detail, and it really doesn't seem like a joke.

But just now when he looked at the plan, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be such an incident in the original plot-a man who was followed and secretly photographed by a young girl disappeared, and a crime plan was left at home, but it was actually just an investigation done by the man to write a mystery novel, and someone else used the crime book to commit a crime...

"So, is Lord Hikone really planning a crime?" Nakai Funako showed a lost expression.

"It's not certain yet," Conan said vaguely, and then asked, "Is Hikone the last name of that person?"

"Yes, I saw it on the doorplate at the door of his house. The last name written on the doorplate is Hikone," Nakai Funako looked lost and took the notebook in Chi Feichi's hand, "But I checked the jewelry store's information online, and I didn't find the jewelry store mentioned in the crime plan. I'm very worried that Master Hikone will do something bad, and there's no way to find him, so I can only ask for help from the detective. Funako felt powerless at this moment, but her wish to find Master Hikone has not been wiped out... …”

“The date mentioned in the criminal plan is October 24, which is today,” Conan looked at the date in the notebook and saw that Nakai Funako began to mutter something he couldn’t understand. He ignored Nakai Funako and looked up at Chi Feichi seriously and suggested, “Brother Chi, let’s go to Mr. Hikone’s residence first. There may be some clues there.”

Chi Feichi didn’t object and closed the notebook in his hand, “Funaqi, please show me the way.”

He didn’t have anything to do today. Since his teacher had already thrown the person to him, he would go and take a look.

Just think of it as helping the busy teacher to take the energetic children at home for a walk.
