Chapter 2231 Science VS Magic



Conan quickly accepted Fang Zheng's statement, but Beatrice had a complicated expression. Looking at Beatrice opposite him, Fang Zheng just laughed.

Apart from anything else in the Conan world, the upper limit of black technology is really high and completely unscientific.

In fact, none of the equipment Conan is wearing from head to toe that Dr. Agasa made for him is scientific.

Bow tie voice changer - tell me how a purely mechanical device that relies on a turntable to change the pitch can perfectly imitate someone else's voice.

Power-enhanced football shoes - a thing that completely violates Newton's three laws of motion and is enough to bring Newton back to life from his coffin.

Solar skateboard - considering that it can be used unlimited times during the day and for thirty minutes at night, and its speed is comparable to that of a car, the battery capacity and energy conversion efficiency of this solar skateboard can only be achieved by an alien civilization outside the solar system.

So when Fang Zheng said that he had used some quantum communication method to hack into the game program terminal and contacted someone to help... Conan said that he could completely understand and accept it. After all, Fang Zheng had a history of directly hacking into the central computer in the "The Phantom of Baker Street" incident, and then forcibly shutting down the computer and kicking everyone offline. Although Conan was very unhappy about this at the time, he could still understand that Fang Zheng's computer skills were very good.

So Conan decisively expressed his understanding, but Beatrice was speechless... But what does her idea have to do with Fang Zheng?

"This is the specific situation, do you understand?"

Fang Zheng also pulled Naruhodō Ryuichi over and explained the current situation to him in detail. The Naruhodō Ryuichi here was not a physical body, but a spiritual body. Strictly speaking, his current situation was like a lucid dream.

"I see."

Naruhodō Ryuichi also nodded. If it were in reality, he would definitely have a lot of problems, but he was currently dreaming, so he naturally accepted everything Fang Zheng said.

"So Mr. Fang Zheng needs me to defend him, point out the lies of the woman named Beatrice, and prove that the murders on Rokukenjima were intentional... But at the moment, there are not enough clues."

"It's okay, you have a helper."

Fang Zheng held down Conan's head.

"This child?"

"Don't underestimate him, okay? He's a famous detective."

Having said this, Fang Zheng turned and looked at Conan.

"Now you understand what to do, right? You are responsible for finding the truth on the chessboard. Although Beatrice is full of lies, all artistic processing must be based on reality. What you have to do is to strip away the fiction, reveal the truth, find clues through reasoning, and then hand them over to me. Only evidence that I admit can be presented as evidence in court, and then handed over to Attorney Naruhodō for further questioning... You understand what I mean, right?"

"I see."

Having said that, Conan nodded, but his expression was a little strange.

“But this is police procedure…”

"That's right."

Hearing Conan's question, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. What he was talking about was actually the process of the police handling cases, collecting evidence, looking for clues, and then handing them over to the procuratorate. Finally, the prosecutor would make charges and present evidence in court...

"I never thought that I would one day be in the position of a prosecutor."

At this moment, Naruhodō Ryuichi's expression also became a little strange.

“I’m a lawyer…”

“…”

Conan also felt complicated. He had always been a detective, but he didn't expect to be a policeman this time...

"So……"

After assigning the tasks, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.

"Let's start this game over again."

Soon, the world changed again and everything started all over again.

Just like before, everyone took a boat to Rokuken Island, but this time, Fang Zheng's identity had changed...

"Is this really okay with you?"

Standing next to Fang Zheng, Conan's face was full of black lines.

"Why do you want to be Ushiromiya Roza's boyfriend this time and let me be your son!"

That’s right, different from the first “game identity”, this time Fang Zheng did not appear as a notary, but as Ushiromiya Roza’s current boyfriend, and Conan was set by him as his son - to put it simply, this time Fang Zheng actually started dating Roza after losing his girlfriend, and both of them had a child, and they sympathized with each other and became close... such a setting.

"Isn't this great? At least we don't have to worry about our identities anymore. And with this identity, we can get more deeply involved in the incident."

“Haha…”

Conan sighed speechlessly.

"But why her?"

"Because I suspect there are some clues on Lou Zuo's body."

"clue?"

"That's right."

Facing Conan's question, Fang Zheng nodded.

"Do you remember? In the last game, Roza was very annoyed with his daughter. I found that every time Maria mentioned Beatrice, she would feel a mixture of anger, anxiety, and even a little fear. That's why she asked Maria to shut up and stop mentioning that name. In other words, Ushiromiya Roza has a real impression of the name Beatrice, and she may even know who Beatrice is."

“You mean, there really is a person named Beatrice on Rokukenjima?”

Conan also became serious now, and Fang Zheng nodded, then took out a map.

"This is the map of Rokukenjima that I got earlier. The map shows that in addition to the villa we live in, there is another villa in the forest. Either Ushiromiya Kinzo has nothing better to do, or he has a mistress hidden in his house... You see, isn't it exciting to have a lover on such an unknown island?"

"indeed……"

Hearing this, Conan also started thinking.

"In the previous scene, all the servants seemed to know about Beatrice's existence. If Beatrice was really Kinzo's mistress, then it's not surprising that the servants knew about her existence. Perhaps they were afraid that the children would go to the forest and expose the truth, so they deliberately made up the lie that Beatrice was a witch to scare them."

“After all, Ushiromiya Kinzou can’t be a homely man, and Beatrice also needs food, clothing, shelter and transportation, so she definitely needs someone to help take care of her…”

"If that's the case, then there's a good chance that Genji-san knows something about Beatrice."

Conan also had an idea at this moment.

"He is Mr. Kinzo's most trusted servant. He must know something about Beatrice."

"But even if he knew, he wouldn't tell a brat like you."

Fang Zheng shook his head.

"Since Genji-san is Kinzo's most trusted servant and he even gave him free access to the study, it means that Genji-san is Kinzo's confidant. Moreover, keeping a mistress can be considered a secret and a scandal. If he is truly loyal, he will definitely keep this secret in his heart forever and take it to the grave."

"That's fine."

Looking at the map, Conan was full of confidence.

"If I remember correctly, on the first afternoon, everyone will go to the beach to play. At that time, I will find an excuse and say that I want to explore the forest. If I can take them to the forest and find the villa, then at least we will have evidence!"

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng nodded.

"Remember, our ultimate goal is to uncover the truth about the murders on Rokukenjima. This is the guarantee for us to 'pass the level'."

"I understand. I will find the evidence."

While the two were talking, the ship had already arrived at Rokukenjima.

Fang Zheng also smiled as he came to Ushiromiya Roza and took her off the boat. Conan, who was standing next to him, had mixed feelings when he saw this scene. It must be said that Fang Zheng is really good at acting. He is not obviously enthusiastic towards Roza, but not cold either. He even cares about her silently in subtle ways. If Conan didn't know that this was Fang Zheng's identity, he would have really thought that Fang Zheng and Roza were a loving couple.

But...is this really okay?

Conan felt that he absolutely could not do it. After all, he liked Xiaolan. Even if he was pretending, he could not show such intimate contact to other girls... Could it be that Fang Zheng was trying to take advantage of her?

In fact, Fang Zheng did plan to do so.

Before setting off, Fang Zheng had read the information of all the members of the Ushiromiya family, and of course he had also read the information of Ushiromiya Roza.

I have to say, Ushiromiya Roza's life story was quite miserable.

As the youngest daughter in the family, Ushiromiya Roza actually had a fiancé who was arranged for her by her family. If everything went well, Ushiromiya Roza would marry the fiancé designated by her family after graduating from high school, have children, and then live an ordinary life.

However, Ushiromiya Roza was deceived by a scumbag, who cheated her of her body and property, and even deceived Ushiromiya Roza into being a joint guarantor. After owing a large sum of money, he disappeared, leaving behind only Ushiromiya Roza and the newly born Maria.

To put it bluntly, this is actually a tragic story about a rich girl who was cheated of her money and sex by a scumbag and then abandoned.

After that, Ushiromiya Roza raised Maria all by herself, and her relationship with her family became strained because of this, plus she had to repay debts. Actually, Fang Zheng could understand Roza's feelings for Maria. After all, according to the information, she gave birth to Maria after graduating from high school, and she raised her all by herself after that... From this point of view, it was not easy. With Roza's experience, it was possible that he would just throw the child away.

Of course, if it were the heroine of a romance drama, she would probably raise her daughter alone after being dumped by a scumbag, not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and then abuse the protagonist in various ways... Well, this is a soap opera at 8 o'clock in the morning.

For Fang Zheng, this is naturally not a hard job. Although Ushiromiya Roza has given birth to a child, considering that Ushiromiya Maria is only 9 years old, it means that Ushiromiya Roza is not even 30 years old now, and his body shape is also well maintained - well, this wave of huge profit is not a loss!

The following plot was no different from the first game. After lunch, the adults continued to discuss the issue of inheritance rights, while the children went for a picnic. Fang Zheng also stayed in the room with Ushiromiya Roza, but he had no intention of participating in the whole process.

After all, the most important thing right now is to wait for news from Conan.

Finally, just like before, before dinner, everyone returned to the villa, and Conan hurried to find Fang Zheng.

Seeing Conan's serious expression, Fang Zheng's heart was also beating fast.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"We followed your map and did find a villa in the forest."

Conan also looked around at this time, then answered in a low voice.

"but……?"

Fang Zheng knew that there would definitely be a "but" next.

"But...it has been abandoned for a long time. No one has lived there for probably more than ten years!"

“…”

Hearing this, Fang Zheng frowned.

It seems that we have to start from the balcony.
