Chapter 56 Kujo Kosuke [VIP]
He glanced at the letter. The words conveyed justice, yet held a strange darkness. The logic was rigorous, the writing excellent, but… the language, the word choice and sentence structure, felt somewhat familiar…
Although a pseudonym can be used when submitting the application form, Cheng You can still use technology to find out the identity of the email sender.
So Cheng started typing code. It was an identity with many layers of locks. The more Cheng dug, the more excited he became. It was a powerful opponent, but not completely unbreakable.
Finally, the screen landed on a person's profile, and as Cheng had expected, it was Shuichi Akai.
Cheng You sighed helplessly, a slight smile playing on his lips, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
Damn it! Can't the FBI just let Shuichi Akai rest? He just left the Black Organization and now he's infiltrating the Invincible East Pavilion? But what did my Invincible East Pavilion do wrong? We haven't committed any murders or arson! Did the FBI believe the slander in that post on the internet by Gray Fox Assassin Dark and decide to punish us?!
OMG!
Should we reject his application?
Cheng pondered that the FBI wouldn't be so idle. The Invincible East Pavilion was currently just a small, declining organization, and even with a new leader, it wouldn't be able to cause much trouble in the short term. There were countless organizations like this, so why didn't the FBI send their top agents to those organizations, but instead chose the Invincible East Pavilion? There must be some reason behind it.
Who is Shuichi Akai? He's an FBI ace! His actions are absolutely of great value.
After a moment's thought, Cheng finally agreed to the application for membership in "Moroboshi Dai" organization. He assigned him to the equally taciturn Takeda Ryosuke for a few days to observe the FBI's intentions before considering promoting him to a managerial position.
At noon, Cheng closed the shop because he was going to the Japanese laboratory and the exhibition of the two families with Morofushi Kagemitsu. Considering that it was not good to leave Yuichi alone here, he took Yuichi with him.
The Japanese laboratory is a national-level laboratory located in Beikacho, Tokyo. However, since it is in Beikacho, even if it is very powerful, it may not be entirely innocent. Who knows if there are any black party spies or something inside.
This exhibition was sponsored by the Suzuki and Kujo families, and even the venue was the most luxurious space in Beika Town.
It is said that this place is a private club. The eldest daughter of the Suzuki family thought it was suitable for holding exhibitions and bought it outright.
As soon as Cheng You and his group stepped inside, they saw Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri chatting on one side, with Conan beside them. However, Conan looked very serious, and it was unclear why.
Upon arriving here, Morofushi Kagemitsu and Cheng You separated to investigate the Black Organization.
Conan looked around seriously and met Cheng You's gaze. Cheng You walked over and greeted Ran Mouri.
Ran greeted them politely and introduced them to Sonoko Suzuki.
"Is Mr. Cheng also here to see the robots in the lab?" Conan asked with a wide smile.
Cheng You chuckled and said, "Yes." He had no idea that there were robots in the exhibition. Haha.
"Then I'll take you to see it, brother. Ran-neechan, aren't you and Sonoko-neechan going to get dessert?" Conan said.
Ran nodded: "Hmm, aren't you going, Conan?"
"I don't want dessert anymore, I want to play with Yuichi." Conan walked over there and stopped Yuichi.
Yuichi nodded in agreement.
Both of them tacitly knew each other's identities, but neither revealed them directly.
“Alright then,” Xiaolan said. “Yuanzi and I are on the other side of the lake. If you can’t find us, just call me.” She then looked at Cheng You. “Thank you so much, Mr. Cheng You.”
"It's alright, Miss Mori," Cheng said with a smile. "I really like cute and well-behaved children."
Watching Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki leave, Cheng You looked at Conan and asked, "Is something wrong here? What did you find?"
Instead of directly stating the matter, Conan asked, "Are you really here to see the exhibition?"
Cheng shrugged: "Of course not."
“Do you remember Curaçao?” he asked.
Conan: "Hmm... So, you successfully made a deal with her? But you trust her that much?"
Cheng looked somewhat serious: "Yes. I believe in her, but not in the black-clad organization member, but in her as a person, the person she aspires to be deep down."
“She messaged me saying that the Black Organization and the research institute will be coming to steal something from this lab exhibition.” Cheng You looked around. “However, the person carrying out the mission is a very mysterious member—Bordeaux. He’s said to be very difficult to deal with.”
Conan paused for a moment and said, "The research institute? I haven't faced them yet. Since they're on the black side, we must bring them to justice."
“The research institute is mysterious and difficult to investigate, and the Black Organization is also mutually restraining him. I have already paved the way to infiltrate the Black Organization, hoping to find out about the research institute. I also hope that the great detective can lend me a hand.” Cheng You smiled.
Conan nodded: "I will definitely help you, but be careful. Just now, I overheard someone in the Japanese lab, who seemed to be a high-ranking researcher, talking to Gin. If I'm not mistaken, that person is an undercover agent for the Black Organization. They were talking about the research institute, but I didn't hear the specifics."
After listening, Cheng You fell into deep thought. There really was an undercover agent in the Japanese laboratory. But if the Black Organization had an undercover agent there, how could the research institute not have one? This mission by the Black Organization was definitely not that simple.
Gin's visit wasn't just about investigating the research institute; he also wanted to capture the institute's mole in the Japanese laboratory. Of course, there might also be moles within the Black Organization, and Gin was most likely there to test them.
Hiss—Gin has almost never succeeded in catching undercover agents. If Li Hua's identity could help Gin catch an undercover agent, Cheng You felt that Li Hua's identity would be secure in the brewery.
This time, we must find the mole in the research institute. The Black Organization and the research institute have always been evenly matched and checked each other. It is not allowed for one side to become too powerful. Cheng You needs to act as the shadowy figure, striving to balance the two organizations and keep them in check.
The Black Organization has now become a "water plant," and its strength will definitely decline gradually after the addition of General Curaçao. Relatively speaking, the research institute is now slightly stronger, and it is necessary to take action to balance it.
Thinking this through, Cheng You said, "Since there are Black Organization moles in the Japanese lab, there might also be moles in the research institute. Do you have any way to catch them? Or, how can you find out who Bordeaux is?"
Conan shook his head helplessly: "It's hard to catch an undercover agent. There's too little information about Bordeaux. But don't worry, give me some time, and we'll find a way."
“Okay.” Cheng nodded. He believed in Conan’s abilities, and even more so in Shinichi Kudo’s.
This time, however, he must rely on his own abilities to make a name for himself.
In order to investigate this matter, we must first delve into the exhibition at the Japanese laboratory, hoping that Conan can glean something from it.
Upon entering the exhibition hall, the energy of technology was overwhelming. Cheng couldn't help but be surprised, but that was all. As a computer science student, these technologies were nothing more than lines of code, simple code, in his eyes.
He was surprised that this was all the Japanese laboratory was exhibiting this time.
Okay, it's not exactly rubbish, but most of them are just machines made up of simple code, and only a few can attract a code enthusiast like Cheng. After all, there are things here that could attract the Black Organization and research institutes.
Could the key be hidden in these few lines of advanced code? Cheng was completely baffled. What was the connection between the code and that godforsaken place, the research institute?
Cheng looked at Conan, who was observing carefully, and asked, "Did you figure anything out?"
Conan shook his head helplessly: "No." He was still a high school student. He had strong reasoning skills, but he couldn't understand overly complex code programs. He could understand simple ones though.
Cheng You offered his own speculation: "Is it possible that what the Black Organization and the research institute wanted was hidden by an undercover agent?"
Conan shook his head: "Impossible. This exhibition is jointly managed by the senior executives of the Japanese laboratory and the heads of the Suzuki and Kujo families. There is absolutely no way it could have gone wrong."
That's right, how could they all be undercover agents? How could old man Suzuki be an undercover agent?
Soon after, Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki returned. They came over to admire the items with Cheng You. Sonoko Suzuki complained helplessly, "This thing is really difficult to handle. I helped my uncle organize it. But luckily, the young master of the Kujo family is a handsome guy~~~ Hahahaha, working with a handsome guy is really not tiring~" Speaking of the young master of the Kujo family, pink bubbles seemed to float around Sonoko Suzuki.
Conan: "..." It seems that another person has been added to Makoto Kyogoku's kill list.
Cheng You was deep in thought with his eyes lowered when a gentlemanly voice suddenly came from beside him: "Miss Sonoko, you're here."
Cheng looked up at the sound and saw a gentlemanly-looking man dressed in black, with a hint of a smile in his green eyes.
"Kujou Mitsusuke," he introduced himself.
As they introduced themselves, Cheng You realized that the man in front of him was the young master of the Kujo family.
"Oh, you guys like this human genetic code structure too?" Kujo Kosuke asked, looking at the code display in front of them.
"Just take a look," Cheng said, waving his hand. "I won't understand it anyway."
"I see. Actually, I don't really understand it either. But I looked at the contents of each piece of code yesterday, so I understand it better," said Kosuke Kujo, his tone still very gentlemanly.
Sonoko Suzuki watched him with great excitement, but that was all.
Cheng You was enlightened by the other party's words. Yes, the code shown was only a part of it, not the whole. If you want to explore further, you still need to find a way to see the full picture of the code.
What did Kujo Kosuke just say? The structure of the human genome? That sounds like what the research institute is looking for.
However, if this code related to human genes were exposed to an organization operating in the shadows, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.
Cheng decided to find a way to obtain these materials, destroy them all, and then fabricate a fake one so that the Black Organization and the research institute could steal them.
However, this is not easy.
In this vast exhibition hall, every gentleman walking around, chatting and laughing could be a spy for the Black Party, and he must act with caution.
I wonder if Morofushi Kagemitsu has discovered anything.
Cheng glanced at his phone casually, wanting to see if Morofushi Hiromitsu had sent a message, only to find that Gabriel Cecil, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time, had sent a message: "The BOSS of the research institute, the cunning blond man."
This message was sent to Cheng You's alternate account, the one belonging to Matsukawa Yuki.
At this time, he really couldn't understand why Gabriel Cecil would suddenly contact him.
Upon opening the messages, the first one was a threat: "Old friend, long time no see. I'm afraid you've disappeared, so I wanted to ask your police officer friend about it. But I'd like to contact you first. If you see this, please reply."
Police officer, are you using Matsuda Jinpei to threaten me? Okay, that's a ruthless tactic.
Cheng You pursed her lips. She didn't want to pay attention to that man, but she wasn't sure if Cecil, that bastard, would keep his promise after he replied to her message.
Just like seven years ago, they agreed that Matsukawa Yuki would provide certain information on the yakuza, and Cecil would not interfere with Matsuda Jinpei's police career. That bastard Cecil didn't keep his promise; who knows if he will this time?
Cheng Youxian replied to Cecil with "Here", then immediately switched screens to find the contacts saved under the pseudonym Matsukawa Yuki, which included Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji.
He messaged Matsuda Jinpei, telling him to be careful: [Matsukawa Yuki: I recently discovered someone is investigating you. Be careful, and contact me if anything unexpected happens.]
But this didn't put him entirely at ease. Fearing Matsuda Jinpei might investigate, he also sent a message to Hagiwara Kenji: [Matsukawa Yuki: Matsuda Jinpei is being watched. You all need to be careful. Contact me if anything unexpected happens. It's best not to let him investigate on his own initiative.]
When Cheng switched screens, he noticed a new message from Cecil. He opened it and glanced at it: "I need you to help me find the machine that records the human genetic code, copy the data, and have someone pick it up from you. I know you're a technician, but you don't have time to fake it. I'll be monitoring you closely."
Cheng You frowned. What the hell?! But at least this statement proved that Cheng You was right. What the two organizations were fighting over was that human genetic code.
He replied: "What human genetic code? What is that? How could I possibly have something like that?"
After waiting for a moment, Cecil sent two light-hearted words that made Cheng feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Cecil: I told you, I'd keep an eye on you. I saw you in the showroom.
Cheng You: !!!
How is that possible?! His real body and his disguise are completely different, okay? The system's disguise technique is like changing his face, how could he possibly be discovered?!
But thinking about it carefully, didn't Yuichi figure it out? But that's because Yuichi had been in close contact with his own original self and noticed the resemblance in his eyes.
What about Cecil? How did he figure that out?
No, not necessarily. It might just be a self-inflicted wound. But... could this really be fake?
