Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 984 The Luck of the Weak
Dr. A Li's house.

Hui Yuanai sat on the chair and hung up the phone.Her head was buried between her knees, her plain white skin was slightly flushed, and her heart was pounding.

At first, she just wanted to say the news that "I'm going to the opening ceremony of the Twin Towers in West Tama City" as if nothing had happened, and then see if her sister, or Miss Anonymous, would show up there.

But in the middle of the conversation, Hui Yuan Ai was surprised to find that he was speaking in a coquettish and self-willed tone to the anonymous people who might have heard the phone call.

After realizing this, she quickly felt guilty, barely finished what she wanted to say, and immediately hung up the phone.

Hui Yuanai raised her hand to support her forehead, thinking regretfully: I still accidentally treated Miss Anonymous as my sister.

"..." To think of one person as another person's stand-in without authorization... If you can really hear what you just said, I hope Miss Anonymous will not be angry.

She sighed guiltily.

Afterwards, Haibara Ai looked at the stopwatch stopped at "18" in his hand, reset it to zero, and deleted the record.

……

When he first escaped from the organization, Hui Yuanai's family died and he was the only one left. He was disheartened and had a weak desire to survive.

But later, with a stable living environment, a few enthusiastic and cheerful friends, and a connection with Anonymous... Hui Yuanai's desire to survive is slowly approaching the range of normal people.

Especially when thinking of Anonymous, Huiyuan Ai felt that he couldn't just rest on his laurels all the time: he had to keep pace with the times and keep up with the ever-growing cutting-edge technology in order to have the opportunity to become a full-fledged member from an anonymous peripheral member. Then she really integrated into this extremely mysterious organization that gave her a great sense of security.

With this in mind, Hui Yuan Ai began to absorb new knowledge continuously.

Especially now, because she is staying at the home of the almighty Dr. Ali, she has been exposed to a lot of programming-related things.

Therefore, every time Hui Yuan Ai secretly wanted to talk to her sister, she knew very well that she was a "fugitive" being targeted by the organization, and she couldn't do whatever she wanted. do.

After all, the organization's technology has always been prominent, especially in the fields of computing and medicine.

As far as Huiyuan Ai knows, the reverse tracking program is relatively common on the market now—that is, the device often used by the police to locate the location of the kidnapper. It usually takes about 1 minute to determine the location of the caller during the call.

Dr. A Li's very unstable black technology tracking takes 30 seconds.

If organizations start developing this kind of thing too...

The first time Hui Yuan Ai couldn't help but make a phone call, she thought of this question.She carefully cut Dr. Ali's time in half and set it in the "15 seconds" interval, so as not to make the call too long and accidentally reveal her position.

Every time she calls Miyano Akemi's apartment, Haibara Ai will think in advance what she wants to say, and after listening to her sister's message, she will finish what she wants to say in a very short time, like That brief mood diary.

And today...

Haibara Ai remembered the stopwatch set at "18" just now, and frowned.

"..." A little bit longer, 3 seconds...it should be fine.

In short, let's delete the message just now...

She sighed softly and picked up the phone again.

……

the other side.

In the secret apartment that Miyano Akemi rented before her death.

Vodka threw himself in front of the computer screen, seeing the progress of being stuck at 18 seconds, couldn't help but punch the table with a "boom": "Damn it, it's almost there! Tonight's luck..."

"Shut up." Gin let out a puff of smoke with a gloomy expression, and said coldly, "Only the weak rely on luck."

"..." Vodka thought of the average unlucky level of the organization, and his eldest brother's luck all the time, and lowered his head, "Sorry, I made a slip of the tongue."

I am silently reflecting and removing the word "luck" from my vocabulary.

At this time, the phone next to him suddenly rang.

——The phone call came again.

Vodka was stunned, and looked over with bright eyes, secretly expecting: I must play for a while.

The positioning was broken just now, so I had to start all over again.But 20 seconds is actually not too much, and women love talking on the phone, this time, as long as Shirley relaxes a little...

Under his quiet gaze.

Answering machine mode is on.On the phone, Miyano Akemi's pre-recorded sweet voice sounded again: "Hello, I'm Miyano, I'm not..."

"Beep, beep, beep—"

"click"

With the sound of several keystrokes, the message just now is deleted.

Then the caller hung up the phone neatly, and the room returned to calm.

Vodka: "..." How could this be so.

He was dazed for a moment, looked at Gin, and said anxiously: "Brother, could it be that she smelled us..."

"No." Gin seems to know Shirley very well, "Although she is a guy whose mind is dominated by emotions and has just stepped out of the ivory tower. And she has been studying academics since she was a child, and has never seen these scenes. But anyway, she After all, she used to be one of us, so she should have a sense of secrecy—Shirley probably just didn’t want to leave a recording on the phone. It’s a pity, huh, she probably never dreamed that we were listening by the phone.”

Vodka cheered up: "That is to say... she will call again like just now?"

"Not in a short time." Qin Jiu sneered, "However, it seems that this time, even God is on our side."

Vodka was stunned for a second, vaguely feeling that the words had something to do with "luck".

However, this is obviously not the point.

He quickly grasped the real key word: "The opening ceremony of the Twin Towers in Seymodo City!"

This is the news that Shirley revealed on the phone just now.

Qin Jiu nodded, stood up, full of murderous intent: "It happens to be to dispose of the computer room of that building. Since Shirley offered to send it to the door, I will reluctantly accept this gift."

He walked to the window and looked out of the house through the gap in the heavy curtains.

The view here is good, and you can see the "Nishitama Twin Towers" in the night from a distance.

"'I want to see my sister there, no matter what she looks like now'...does it mean that the undead will wander in the place she liked when she was alive. Hmph, it's so naive and silly."

Gin recalled Shirley's words just now, and thought about Miyano Akemi, who had confirmed her death with his own hands, and laughed softly: "I miss my sister to the point of wanting to see a ghost. It's a pity that there are no ghosts in this world, so I can only send them away." Go to heaven to reunite."

He raised his head and reflected the towering Twin Towers in the distance in his eyes, as if he had already seen its tragic collapse: "Since it is called 'the place closest to the kingdom of heaven', it happened to be used as the guillotine for that traitor.

"It's a pity that this magnificent building will end forever on the opening day."
