Chapter 929 The clue is Jack the Ripper
After giving out the badges, the children happily ran away, waiting for the game to begin - this place is too close to Brother Jiang Xia, and the air is not free enough.
Haibara Ai still remembered that "there were members of the organization outside", so she didn't go with them and returned to Jiang Xia.
Conan withdrew his gaze from Kudo Yusaku. He also noticed what happened just now. He looked at Huihara Ai with a little curiosity: "What's the matter? Sneaking around."
"The kids gave me a badge." Huiyuan Ai looked at the experience qualification in her hand, then looked at Conan and said teasingly, "Little detective, you are not popular."
"..." When facing naughty kids, Conan always tolerates them like an old father, otherwise he would have been angry to death.
He waved his hand nonchalantly: "They must have seen that Dr. Agasa gave me the badge, so they didn't count it for me."
"Let's just take it as that." Huibara Ai remembered something, hesitated for a moment, looked at Jiang Xia, and whispered, "The children probably subconsciously regarded you as an adult, so when they mentioned the 'game', they didn't consider you - I heard that there is a detective copy in this game, do you want to go in and take a look? I suddenly realized that as long as we enter this venue, the badge doesn't seem to be difficult to get..."
As she spoke, her gaze turned to the second-generation children whose ears were still a little red and swollen.
Jiang Xia: “…” Don’t be led astray by those real kids from the Junior Detective Team.
Conan was silent for a moment: No, even if the Junior Detective Team didn't treat Jiang Xia as an adult, they would never get him a badge. For the kids, the bosses in the game are already troublesome. If Jiang Xia is added, they might give up this precious game opportunity and go home overnight...
Just as he was thinking, Jiang Xia reached into his pocket and took out the badge that Kaoru Kusano had given him: "No need, Miss Kusano gave me hers last night."
Conan: "..."Poor little naughty kids...
As he thought about it, he secretly moved his body to block Jiang Xia's badge and the Junior Detective Team, so that the naughty kids could not see that Jiang Xia also had a badge.
...It's not that I hold a grudge, I just want to give the kids a little surprise.
——After entering the game, I suddenly found that Jiang Xia was also there. It should be an impressive and wonderful experience.
…
When the fake kids gradually turn evil.
In the distance, the corridor outside the banquet hall door suddenly became chaotic, and it seemed that several people were running quickly.
Jiang Xia quickly noticed something unusual: "..."... In a place like this where Sindorah is in a hurry to kill someone, he can only race and not run. This speed of movement seems quite abnormal.
Conan also saw the situation over there, and suddenly spotted a familiar face.
He whispered, "That looks like Inspector Megure!" and then ran over quickly.
——Inspector Megure shouldn’t be invited to the game conference. Putting aside the issue of status, first of all, he often has to work overtime... and since the inspector appeared here, and in a hurry, did something go wrong here?
As a detective on the surface, Jiang Xia certainly couldn't ignore the passing police.
He followed quickly.
…
The two followed all the way to the basement.
Jiang Xia and Conan stopped and scanned the corridor, and soon found that there were many people gathered in front of one of the doors, including a few familiar policemen.
So they ran over skillfully and entered the scene by scanning their faces.
As soon as he entered the door, a familiar scene appeared in front of Jiang Xia.
——In front of the computer, a tall man was slumped in a chair, his chest was covered in blood, and he was no longer breathing.
This is none other than the person in charge of the game’s development – Kenmura Nakaaki.
…
Whether it is the location of the crime or the identity of the deceased, both determine that this case is not a trivial matter.
Inspector Megure was suddenly given this hot potato and was feeling a little overwhelmed.
Before he could sort out his thoughts, he looked up and found someone walking in. His eyes lit up immediately: "Brother Jiang Xia!"
"Inspector Megure." Jiang Xia nodded at him and greeted him, "What happened?"
"The head of R&D is dead, killed by a single blow to the heart." Inspector Megure breathed a sigh of relief and quickly delivered the information. "No murder weapon was found at the scene, but some tissues used to wipe the murder weapon were dropped - the murderer must have wiped the murder weapon on the spot after killing the victim, and then left."
"It sounds like the murderer has good psychological quality..." Jiang Xia glanced at the lock on the door, "An acquaintance?"
"It should be. The door has not been pried open, and there are no signs of a fight in the room. We are currently investigating the deceased's interpersonal relationships." Inspector Megure was looking through the information his subordinates had just collected, looking a little flustered:
"As for the motive for the murder. All the data in the hard drive was destroyed. We actually suspect that this was a destructive business war between rival companies. The murderer might be a corporate spy... Tsk, these guys are engaging in a business war. Can't they be more peaceful? We are now a society ruled by law!"
Jiang Xia patted Inspector Megure on the back to calm the angry inspector down.
Then watch him go to collect more intelligence.
…
Afterwards, Jiang Xia's eyes moved and fell on the computer keyboard in front of the corpse.
——There were three blood-stained letters there, 'R', 'T', and 'J'.
It looks like it was pressed before the deceased died.
"I can't tell the order in which the buttons were pressed, but the combination of several letters includes 'JTR' - Jack The Ripper." Conan suddenly had an idea, looked up at Jiang Xia, and whispered: "The answer may be hidden in the game. I just heard from Dr. Agasa that one of the copies of 'Cocoon' is set in London a hundred years ago - that was exactly when Jack the Ripper was active!"
Jiang Xia showed a very supportive expression of "I see!"
Then he looked down at his watch and reminded her, "According to the process in the brochure, it's almost time to start the 'cocoon' experience."
"!"
Conan turned around and ran to the game hall.
...It's not that I want to play games, but it seems that the death message is likely to point to the detective copy in the "cocoon". The most crucial clue may be hidden in the game.
Jiang Xia also took advantage of Inspector Megure's inattention and ran over quickly.
…
Mihua Municipal Building, game hall.
Children with experience badges entered the hall with their parents.
The parents then went to the surrounding auditoriums, while the children passed through the electronic doors and came to the front of the hall.
On the stage in front, there are fifty oval-shaped "cocoon" game cabins.
There was a staff member on duty next to each game cabin. The children quickly jumped onto their seats, sat down expectantly, and put on the corresponding instruments.
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were also among the crowd at this time.
Ran Mao Li came here with the Junior Detective League today and is considered their guardian.
Although she wasn't sure where the kids got the badges, since they were going in, the "guardian" had no choice but to follow them.
