Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

The first round of testing has been completed. After a fifteen-minute break, we will continue testing various equipment.

Naomi Argent asked, "Everyone, would you like some coffee?"

Naomi Argent saw Makino Yosuke chatting with Officer Shiratori and Kuroda Hei.

Conan volunteered: "I'll go ask them!"

"Thank you, Conan."

As Ed stretched his body, he said, "I want a cup of black coffee!"

Grace walked over to Naomi Argent and said to Ed, "Ed, if you want to drink, go make it yourself!"

Naomi Argent smiled and said, "It's okay, Ed wants black coffee, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

Conan ran over and gestured with two fingers: "Just add this much sugar."

Seeing Conan's finger, Grace said, "OK, one piece, right?"

Naomi Argent reminded, "It's two pieces. Can Conan drink the juice?"

Conan didn't want to drink juice. He needed to refresh himself: "Let me think...is there any iced coffee?"

Naomi Argent smiled and said, "You like coffee, that's fine."

"Thank you! I'll help too!"

Conan, Naomi Argent and Grace went to the coffee machine in the self-service area to make coffee.

After a while.

Conan came out of the aisle of the self-service area with two cups of coffee in his hands.

Just then, two people wearing cleaning staff's work clothes, hats and masks pushed a cart into the aisle.

These two people are the disguised Toru Amuro and Vermouth.

When Toru Amuro and Vermouth saw that it was Conan, both of them looked in disbelief.

'Why is he here?'

'Silver bullet?'

Conan did not notice Toru Amuro and Vermouth. After leaving the aisle, he looked at Grace not far away and asked, "Where is Sister Naomi?"

Grace, who was holding a tray with several cups of coffee on it, replied, "I'm going to the bathroom. Let's go back first."

"Ok!"

Conan followed Grace back to the control room.

In the bathroom.

Naomi Argent was washing her hands when suddenly her face changed drastically because a person appeared in the mirror.

Just as Naomi Argent turned her head, Vermouth hit her neck with a knife and she fell unconscious instantly.

Before Naomi Argent fell to the ground, Toru Amuro caught her.

"We succeeded, let's retreat."

"Well, let's go."

...

Inside the main control room.

Kuroda Bei asked Makino Yosuke: "This cross-age recognition system uses facial bone structure to estimate age growth. How is this method implemented?"

Makino Yosuke replied: "As far as I remember, it used AI that relied on massive amounts of anatomical and statistical data for calculations. You can ask Naomi for the details."

Just as Makino Yosuke was looking for Naomi Argent, Grace, holding a cup of coffee, came up and said, "As long as there is image data, AI can be used for automatic analysis."

Kuroda Bei nodded: "I see, this is indeed a groundbreaking technology."

Ed reminded, "Mr. Makino, the break time is over a long time ago, right?"

Makino Yosuke glanced at the time: "Yes, but where is Naomi?"

Reinhardt glanced at Naomi Argent's empty seat in displeasure: "Really, what is that woman doing!"

Conan looked at the large screen in the center of the control room with a serious expression.

Cross-age recognition technology...

Reinhardt directly called up the surveillance video: "Found it!"

The surveillance video of Naomi Argent from twelve minutes ago appeared on the electronic screen.

"That was the last time she was caught on camera, and then the two cleaners went in and came out five minutes later," Rinehart said.

Conan looked at the trolley pushed by the cleaner on the electronic screen and seriously guessed, "The trolley is so big, it should be able to hold a person!"

"Look at this!" Ed pulled up the surveillance video of the two 'cleaners': "They also appeared on the dry deck!"

Looking at the two cleaners, Reinhardt wondered, "Who are these two guys?"

Under the leadership of Yosuke Makino, Officer Shiratori, Heibei Kuroda and Conan arrived at the entrance to the sea.

The cleaning carts were lying in a mess at the entrance of the passage.

Officer Shiratori asked, "This is the way to the sea, right?"

Makino Yosuke replied, "Yes, this room is filled with seawater, and you can get out once the water pressure inside and outside is the same. But the other side of the door is the ocean, and the nearest Hachijo Island is more than five kilometers away. Where did Naomi go?"

Kurodabei then asked, "Who has the control over this door?"

Makino Yosuke paused for a moment and then replied, "This hatch can indeed be opened directly, but the hatch on the ocean side can only be opened by me and the engineers I just introduced."

Kuroda Bei said in a deep voice: "In that case, the criminal who kidnapped Miss Naomi, in addition to the two people disguised as cleaners, has another accomplice, and he is among you!"

Makino Yosuke agreed with Kuroda Heibei's guess: "That's right, but..."

Officer Shiratori suggested to Kuroda Bei: "In any case, let's quickly ask the Metropolitan Police Department to investigate the scene."

Kuroda Bei nodded slightly.

Officer Shiratori left the passage and went to call the Metropolitan Police Department.

Conan began to analyze the kidnapping case in his mind.

The kidnapping could have been carried out in such a short time, and there was no mistake. The criminal knew that Naomi Argent was in the bathroom.

Where did they take her?

Kamiya Minatsuki, who had just finished watching the whales and was on his way back, heard the whole process thanks to Conan.

"Sure enough, something has happened. It seems that I won't be bored anymore. But I should have put a camera on that kid earlier. It's quite interesting to connect the global police surveillance network. In other words, if I can also join this surveillance network... it's like opening up the whole map view. I can find whoever I want to find."

Kamiya Minatsuki pinched his chin and began to think. After thinking for a while, he took out his mobile phone, edited a text message and sent it to Obara Yuuto.

The content of the text message was to ask Xiaoyuan Youxiang to notify their technical personnel to quickly create a program that would allow them to join this monitoring network.

As someone who only knew how to play computer games, Kamiya Minatsuki thought that it shouldn't be difficult to just make a program to join the surveillance network.

In a small room.

Toru Amuro leaned against the door, while Vermouth was groping Naomi Argent, who was lying unconscious on the bed.

Finally, the necklace on Naomi Argent's neck was discovered.

"Oh, it's so cute." Vermouth peeled off the pendant shell on the necklace, and a USB port appeared.

Vermouth stood up and said to Amuro Toru, "Let's go and see if there's anything we want in this."
