A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 182 My Mom Runs While My Dad Goes To The Toilet

"It's been rumored recently that the company under your name is heavily in debt. May I ask if it's true?"

"Is Cocoon really controlled by artificial intelligence?"

"Mr. Thomas, may I ask if the cocoon has really been developed?"

The one who stepped out of the car was Thomas Schindler, a leading figure in the IT industry. His narrow eyes made the whole person quite gloomy, and his huge nose added a sense of joy.

After hearing the reporters' interview questions, the originally calm expression turned slightly gloomy. He chose to remain silent and walked straight to the municipal building, which is today's home field.

At the press conference, several children of Yuantai fought with a group of children playing football.

The reason is very simple. The children who played football were the experiencers of this cocoon. After receiving the experience badges, they laughed loudly on purpose after feeling the envious eyes from Yuantai and the others.

"Dad, tell them quickly."

Xiaolan saw that the children looked a little lonely, so she quickly greeted Uncle Mao Li who was drinking, and asked him to help teach the group of children.

"You guys, don't go too far..."

"I know you, the detective who was abandoned by his wife, the sleeping Kogoro, did he run away while you were sleeping, hahaha!"

Not only did the children not care about the uncle's reprimand, but they pointed out the uncle's past, their faces were full of sarcasm, which made the uncle bear it, and he was about to refute.

"No, my mother ran away when my father went to the bathroom."

……

The uncle lowered his head dejectedly. The more the child helped, the more he helped others, which gave others more reason to ridicule him.

As soon as these words came out, the children really laughed even harder. The uncle wanted to continue arguing, but the children didn't give him this chance, so they turned around and ran to play.

"It's really sad. Thinking about how they will become the rulers of this country in the future, I feel..."

Huibara wanted to continue speaking, but Noah covered it with his hands, because the eyes of several people around him had already gathered, and such remarks were not suitable for such an occasion.

Outside the municipal building, another limousine stopped at the door. Kudo Yusaku and Dr. Ali got out of the car. Facing the surrounding spotlights, Kudo Yusaku responded with a skilled smile.

"Have you told Conan about your return to Japan?"

"No, I haven't been busy in the past few days, and I haven't had time to find him yet."

The moment Yusaku Kudo and the doctor walked into the press conference, Noah and Conan noticed at the same time, and their reactions were different.

Noah had expected it a long time ago. He felt that Yusaku Kudo had some important things to do when he returned to Japan, and it was not surprising to see him at this press conference.

In fact, these words are all Noah’s thoughts. The most important thing is the badge. He is not blind, so he can naturally see that the badge given to him by Yusaku Kudo is the same as the badge of the experiencer who participated in the cocoon this time.

Conan was surprised. Why didn't his father inform him when he came back? Even the doctor is often away these days, probably because of his father.

Yusaku Kudo and the doctor also noticed Conan's group. The father and son just looked at each other, saw the smiles in each other's eyes, and knew that the other party was doing well. They didn't come forward to communicate. After all, Conan's identity still needs to be kept secret.

The doctor is different. After seeing Conan, he walked over directly. He still has something to explain to Conan.

"Doctor, why are you here? No wonder you said you were not at home last night, so you came to attend the press conference."

"It's too much, I didn't even know to bring us. Fortunately, Sister Yuanzi helped."

When Ayumi and the others saw the doctor approaching, they immediately surrounded him and complained about the doctor's selfish behavior, but the doctor didn't care. He had a very good relationship with the children and knew that they were just messing around with him.

After Mitsuhiko and the others calmed down, Conan walked up to the doctor and quietly expressed his doubts.

"Doctor, when did my dad return to Japan, and what have you two been doing these days?"

The doctor also bent down and explained in a low voice. He knew that Conan was worried that others would hear that the two were father and son.

"Your father is the plot designer of Cocoon, the product of this press conference. I also helped design some small programs. We have been perfecting Cocoon these days, so we haven't had time to ask you to explain it."

After all, he took out an experiencer badge from his pocket and secretly handed it to Conan, which Yusaku Kudo asked him to hand over to Conan.

He also wanted a few more for Genta and the others, but unfortunately there were only fifty seats this time. He and Yusaku Kudo barely got two seats because they were designers, and gave them to Noah and Conan respectively.

"Your dad said it has your favorite things in it."

Looking at the badge in his hand, Conan actually had a headache, whether to go or not, he didn't want to leave Yuantai and the others to play by himself, but thinking of what his father said, he was very moved.

The host on the stage has already started to introduce the function and usage of Cocoon, which makes Yuantai and the others even more jealous. This kind of feeling that they can only watch but not play is very uncomfortable.

"How about we ask other experiencers to see if they are willing to exchange."

"But what do we exchange for? They are definitely not willing to exchange ordinary things."

"use this."

Genta took out a few golden Masked Superman cards from his pocket, which they originally planned to use for playing games in the office, and they are now the most valuable items on their bodies.

"This is an out-of-print card, and it will never be bought again."

Mitsuhiko and Ayumi's faces were a little moved, they thought about the value of the card, and hesitated in their hearts, but after hearing the host's impassioned introduction, they looked forward to this game even more in their hearts.

"Why don't you try another one?"

Ayumi tried to put forward her opinion, her enthusiasm for the Kamen Rider card was not as strong as the other two.

"Change it, and change it back later when you have a chance."

……

The process of exchanging was quite smooth. Four cards were exchanged for four badges. It happened that a few children were not very interested in the game, so they immediately agreed to exchange when they saw the out-of-print cards.

"We are out of cards, so we can only exchange for these four, but we have five people, how to distribute them."

"Going back to discuss, the game is about to start."

After Yuantai and the others returned to the crowd, they found that Conan was gone, only Huiyuan was there, so it was all right now, and there was no need to think about how to distribute it.

"Huihara, I'll give you one."

Yuan Tai handed the extra badge to Hui Yuan as if asking for credit, her face was full of pride.

"It's pretty good, brat, you guys actually got it."

Noah knew about the exchange of badges by a few people, and thought they would return in vain. After all, they are all rich or expensive children here, so why would they care about a few cards? Unexpectedly, there are actually some.

The basement of the municipal building has been transformed into the control center of the game. At this time, Conan, Uncle and Yusaku Kudo are all here, with solemn faces.

In addition to the three of them, there were police officers Megure and Shiratori, and everyone's eyes were on Zhongbin Jianmura who was sitting motionless by the computer.

The other party's breathing had already stopped, and according to the traces left at the scene, it was obvious that this was a murder case.

Jiancun Zhongbin is the chief designer of this product. While maintaining the operating program of the cocoon, someone stabbed his heart with a knife. The first person who found the body was his colleague.

"Ken Village"

Seeing the fear and unwillingness on Kenmura Tadabin's face, a trace of sadness flashed across Kudo Yusaku's face.
