The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Organization call?

Qin Zhibo looked around, walked to the corner of the Metropolitan Police Department parking lot, and then picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

On the other side of the phone came Gin's cold questioning voice.

"There was someone nearby just now who found a quiet place." Qin Zhibo's tone was neither humble nor overbearing.

"Hmph -" Gin snorted coldly and said, "Tomorrow at 11 o'clock in the evening, in the alley east of the Ginza store near Kanbashi Station."

"knew."

Toot toot—

As soon as Qin Zhibo agreed, Ginjiu's phone number was immediately hung up, as if he was afraid of being traced back to the address where he called.

Not explaining the task content on the phone, and using the most concise language, is also Gin's consistent style.

Qin Zhibo silently turned on the navigation device in his heart and looked for the place Ginjiu mentioned.

On the large electronic map, Kanbashi Station is also located in Tokyo, just along the Toto Subway, four stops away from Mihua Station.

It's just that on the electronic map, the place name text of Xianqiao Station is semi-transparent.

This indicates that the public place is under construction and may not be accessible to normal traffic.

Station under construction?

Isn't Gin planning a terrorist attack?

In Qin Zhibo's impression, many international terrorist organizations like to bomb sites under construction, which can spread terrorism without angering the country concerned.

However, if you think about it carefully, this is not consistent with the low-key style of the black organization.

The goal pursued by the black organization seems to be an older, more primitive form of terror.

Gunma County, deep in the mountains.

A yellow Beetle covered in silver drove tremblingly on the mountain road.

Dr. A Li and Conan, an old man and a young man, were sitting in the main and passenger seats, with worried expressions on their faces.

In order for this "transaction" to proceed smoothly, the first thing to ensure is that the other party does not know the news of Itakura Taku's murder.

Otherwise, as long as the other party knows the news of Itakura Zhuo's murder, he will naturally not be stupid enough to make a deal with a "ghost".

Fortunately, Itakura Taku's case occurred in the evening. According to the Metropolitan Police Department's habit, this information will not be announced until at least tomorrow morning's news.

But just in case, Conan still hung a portable radio on his ear and listened to the radio at all times.

The most popular real-time news item on the airwaves right now is about a gem thief who robbed a jewelry store and is currently on the run in Gunma Prefecture.

Gem thief?

The first time he heard this word, Conan's eyes changed and he thought it was his old rival again - Kaitou Kidd.

But when he heard it was two people, he was instantly deflated like a ball shooting out of a football belt.

An ordinary gem thief cannot arouse much interest in Conan.

Moreover, now is a critical moment in the confrontation with the suspected black organization. Although the gem thief is escaping in Gunma County, there is no need to be a vigilante at this time.

Conan crossed his arms and discussed with a serious face.

"Actually, what I care about most is the last sentence in the diary. We can not only be God, but also devils, because we want to reverse the flow of time and resurrect the dead."

"Doctor, are you talking about the medicine made by Haiyuan?"

Upon hearing this, Dr. A Li, who has never believed in pseudoscience, looked slightly sideways and denied: "How is this possible? You are not zombies."

Conan: "."

In fact, Conan is reminded of the Drug A developed by Haihara Ai when he was serving the organization, because Haibara Ai once said something similar.

Not long after Haiyuan abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, a football stadium hijacking incident occurred.

In that incident, Haibara Ai once said meaningfully, "There is no way for people to defy the flow of time. If you insist on distorting time, you will be punished."

What does it mean to defy the flow of time?

What kind of punishment was received?

The old riddler Haihara Ai didn’t say anything about the above.

In fact, not only that, Haibara Ai did not explain many secrets about the black organization, which made Conan, who was eager to grow up, both anxious and helpless.

Sometimes, Conan really wants to shout loudly.

Riddler, get out of the rice krispies!

But if you carefully recall the words of Haihara Ai and the woman, you can also feel that there is a difference between the two words.

According to the mysterious woman who talked to Itakura Taku, the most important thing is the last "resurrection of the dead."

Taken literally, what women and the forces behind them want to accomplish seems to be a taboo recognized by scientists around the world.

The dead cannot be resurrected.

Just like continuous linear time is irreversible.

But what if we think differently?

Conan suddenly thought of another English meaning that Qin Zhibo blurted out in the hotel room - the resurrection of the long sleeper.

If it is impossible to resurrect the dead, then it is more reliable to resuscitate the sleeping people.

Conan remembered that he had read in a science magazine that an American scholar named "Robert Ettinger" had put forward a crazy hypothesis.

If the human body is sealed in a container filled with liquid nitrogen and frozen, then when technology develops in the future, it is very possible to resurrect the frozen person.

Robert Ettinger not only proposed such a hypothesis, but also established an institution and began to accept commissions for freezing human bodies.

It’s just that no one can be sure how technology will develop in the future, so this organization is currently only focusing on “freezing” and not “resurrecting”.

Regarding this technology, academic circles have also conducted extensive discussions, with both approval and opposition.

A Russian company believes that the brain functions like a computer hard drive, and its contents can be frozen and stored.

In the future, scientists can read data from frozen brains, connect them and implant them into new carriers, either human bodies or computers.

Thinking about it this way, the woman's words about "resurrection of the dead" and the software developed by Taku Itakura that she wanted to obtain seemed to be just connected.

Imagine if this technology were really realized, it would be a very great technology.

Humanity's obsession with immortality can be traced back to the period of Qin Shihuang in ancient China.

At that time, Xu Fu traveled eastward to what is now the Sea of ​​Japan to seek elixirs from overseas for immortality, and he took the route of medical immortality.

For a long period of time after that, longevity was basically based on medicine. It was not until the development of modern surgery that other routes were added.

For example, in the early 19th century, there was a medical student at an American university who conducted research on the "drug + surgery" method of resurrecting the dead, which caused extremely bad social impact at the time.

Later, the medical student disappeared inexplicably, and some said he died in an experimental accident.

And his experience was made into a B-level horror film and put on the big screen decades later.

However, it is said that more than 20 years ago, a couple of scientists resumed the research of the medical student decades ago, and were exposed as a result.

In the current situation of formalization in the scientific world, this approach is naturally deviant and unethical.

The couple was expelled from the scientific community without even leaving their names.

But one of the couple is Japanese.

——The above were all accidentally seen by Conan in a science magazine that was more interested in science.

Interesting content is mainly to attract readers and may be less rigorous.

For example, the last couple mentioned was expelled from the scientific community. Why did one of them have to be Japanese?

Why not Americans or Germans?

How can there be such a coincidence in the world?

Conan believes that the real situation is that the magazine editor believes that adding a Japanese character at the end will increase the sense of involvement of the readers in the country.

After reading this, readers will exclaim "That's it" and "We Japanese are really awesome!"

But for now, these interesting contents have given Conan a lot to think about.

As women say, they are both God and devil, and the application of resurrection is also a double-edged sword.

The reason why human society can maintain a basic balance depends on the alternation of birth, old age, illness and death, achieving the purpose of continuous shuffling and elimination.

Once this balancing mechanism is eliminated, the high-pressure society described in many science fiction novels is likely to form.

The more wealth is accumulated, the more it will never flow to other people again.

Bad people can always exist as long as they have wealth.

The resurrection of the dead is indeed a technology that can act as both God and devil.

If the woman's goal is really this kind of resurrection of the dead, then is there some big organization behind her that saves lives and heals the wounded?

Conan shook his head, not necessarily.

If it is a formal institution, the research should be conducted above board and not in a criminal manner.

This unscrupulous behavior makes Conan more willing to believe that the supporter behind all these actions is a bad person.

Once bad guys possess this technology, the consequences will be disastrous.

So, what Taku Itakura actually meant when he said “for the welfare of all mankind”?

While Conan was brainstorming, the Beetle's bumps gradually weakened until they stopped completely.

A villa stood in the wind and snow outside the car window, and a dead and disturbing atmosphere drifted from the dark doors and windows.

Dr. A Li and Conan in the car waited for a while and found that there was no movement, so they got out of the car.

Walking to the main entrance of the villa, Conan deduced the hiding place of the key based on the memory of reading the diary during the day, and successfully found it.

Pushing open the door of the villa, a slightly decaying atmosphere filled the wooden structure villa.

Conan was not the idiot of Emperor Dan. He did not choose to turn on the light, but walked to the computer desk in the living room in the dark. At a glance, he saw the envelope and software CD placed openly on the table.

Opening the envelope, there was a large check inside.

According to Itakura Taku's diary, the check and the unfinished software were to be handed over to the other party together. This was because he did not want the other party to jump into a trap and trace him abroad.

That is to say

"It seems that this is the system software that the group of people deliberately wanted to obtain, but they probably never imagined that this thing would be placed in this place."

Conan put the software and check aside, turned around, sat on the chair, and turned on the computer.

It was almost midnight, and according to Itakura Taku's diary, this was the time for the next meeting between them.

Time passed by, and the page of the email suddenly changed at a certain moment.

A progress bar with a 10-second countdown pops up, with a blank box for entering your password.

Seeing this, Conan and Dr. Ari were shocked.

The nervous little hand holding the mouse was at a loss for a moment and could only slide.

By the time it reacted, 10 seconds had passed and the email just sent was automatically deleted.

"hateful!"

"They have already set the setting that if the email is not opened immediately, it will be automatically deleted!"

Only then did Conan understand why even the email contact information had to be agreed upon in advance.

Conan was shocked and hurriedly discussed with Dr. Ali whether there were any technical solutions to this situation.

But Dr. Ali is not very knowledgeable in computer technology and said that he is powerless.

"It would be great if there was Noah's Ark at this time."

Although Noah's Ark is artificial intelligence, thanks to its deep learning algorithm mechanism, it can do many things that only hackers can do.

Just when Conan was thinking extremely nervously about how to respond to the next email, the landline phone behind him rang.

The sound of jingling bells was like a spiritual song in the silent room, prompting the young and old to cast frightened glances.

"I'm sorry, the master is out now, if"

The automatic reply from the landline ended, and a familiar voice came from the phone.

"Hello? What's wrong?"

Just this questioning tone made Conan's pupils dilate instantly.

You can’t go wrong! This is what vodka sounds like!

It turns out that the person who contacted Itakura Taku was a black organization!

In such a severe moment, Conan, who had bet on winning a fortune, actually raised the corners of his mouth, showing an unyielding smile when facing challenges.

Vodka on the other side of the phone is still urging.

"You should be there, right?"

"Don't hide in there and keep silent, I know you are at home!"

Vodka's tone suddenly became harsh, and his displeased tone already revealed a trace of murderous intent.

A drop of cold sweat left Conan's forehead, and he immediately took out the bow-tie voice changer from his collar. Using the memory of Taku Itakura's voice in the video during the day and his absolute sense of sound, he quickly adjusted the turntable on it.

After making the adjustment, he immediately picked up the phone receiver.

"I'm sorry, it's too dark here. I couldn't find the phone for a while."

"I think the circuit in the villa was probably broken by the wind and snow outside, so I didn't open the email you just sent."

Itakura Taku's voice came through the bow, and Conan's nonchalant tone actually deceived the vodka.

"Who told you to be in a mountain where birds don't poop?" Vodka suddenly realized, "No, since the power has been cut off, why did it switch to phone recording just now?"

Conan didn't pause at all, and explained skillfully again: "There are often power outages when it snows here, so I always use the kind of phone with a battery installed."

"So that's it." Vodka accepted this explanation with a naive expression.

The next step is to decide where to trade.

Due to the power outage that Conan just mentioned, it was impossible to receive emails, so Vodka could only tell the transaction address by phone.

"I'm only going to say it once, please listen to me clearly."

"You should know the Xianqiao Station that is under construction, right? It is now more grand after being merged with the Dongdu Subway."

"At twelve o'clock tomorrow morning, you will wait for me in front of the coin-operated iron cabinet No. 0032 on the bottom floor."

"Don't forget to bring that important software with you when the time comes."

On the rooftop, vodka chirped to announce the trading location.

It would have been a huge disappointment if gin had been on the side.

This little brother has been following me for so long for nothing.
