Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World

Kudo Yuki thought for a moment: "Father, can we infer the time and place of the action?"

"Not yet, but this gives us a direction. Hiroki, you're doing great."

Sawada Hiroki's tense face relaxed a little: "As long as I can help."

Akai Shuichi pondered for a moment: "We must be prepared before they take action."

Amuro Toru took out his cell phone: "I will contact my informant immediately to see if I can get more relevant information."

Kudo Yusaku stroked his chin in contemplation: "Everyone, divide the work and cooperate with each other. We must not let the winery organization realize that we have obtained these clues."

Kudo Yuki sat in front of the computer, carefully comparing the information she had collected previously.

Shuichi Akai exchanges information with various contacts.

Toru Amuro was communicating with his informant in a low voice, his expression sometimes solemn and sometimes relaxed.

A few hours passed and everyone gathered together again.

Toru Amuro spoke first: "My informant provided some information. The winery organization has been frequently mobilizing personnel and materials recently, but their specific whereabouts are unknown."

Kudo Yuki continued: "I found some similar encryption code patterns, which may be related to their actions this time."

Kudo Yusaku listened to everyone's reports, his brain working rapidly: "Based on the information we have so far, although we cannot fully determine the specific details of the winery's organization's actions, we have a rough outline of the scope."

Kudo Yuki stared at the computer screen and operated her fingers on the keyboard. After she sorted the code according to the letters of Karasuma Renya's name, she found that it was two words: HUMAN and LABORATORY.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the information that Kudo Yuki pieced together: "Human body laboratory."

Kudo Yusaku frowned, "This means that the winery organization may be conducting extremely dangerous and inhumane experiments."

Akai Shuichi crossed his arms, his eyes deep, "We must find out their purpose and the content of their experiment as soon as possible."

Amuro Toru's expression was very serious and solemn: "This kind of behavior will never be tolerated."

"Father, where do we start our investigation?"

Kudo Yusaku thought for a moment and said slowly: "First, we need to look for places and people that may be related to this laboratory from the clues we have. Hiroki, check if there is any other information hidden in the code."

Sawada Hiroki nodded immediately, sat down in front of the computer and started working. Kudo Yuki also began to reorganize the information she had collected before.

After a while, Sawada Hiroki shouted excitedly: "I found some more encrypted parts, which may be related to the location of the laboratory."

Everyone in the room stared at the encrypted information on the computer screen. The lines of complex codes and characters seemed like puzzles waiting for them to solve.

Kudo Yuki flipped through the documents in her hand and said, "Father, I have a feeling that the matter regarding the human laboratory needs to be considered in the long term and moved forward slowly."

Hiroki Sawada suddenly shouted: "I seem to have cracked part of the encrypted information. There is a place name mentioned here - an abandoned warehouse in the southern suburbs."

"The abandoned warehouse in the southern suburbs?" Kudo Yusaku thought for a moment, "This is most likely where the laboratory is located, but it is not ruled out that it is a trap set up intentionally by the other party."

At this time, Kudo Yuki's black phone vibrated. She opened the phone and saw:

Fine wine, Karasuma Group has a deal in an abandoned warehouse in the southern suburbs. You secretly observe the contacts to see if there are any unusual movements. If any of them have second thoughts, you directly mark them and I will turn them into containers for human experiments. - Old man

Kudo Yuki's expression instantly became solemn. She handed the phone to Kudo Yusaku: "Father, you see, this news came too suddenly."

Kudo Yusaku took the phone, looked at it carefully several times, and said in a deep voice: "This may be an opportunity for us to conduct an in-depth investigation."

Akai Shuichi murmured: "We can't let this opportunity go."

"Xiaoxue, I'll go with you." Amuro Toru held Kudo Yuki's hand, "I don't want to see you rush forward without paying attention to your own safety like you did last time."

Kudo Yuki nodded slightly: "Zero, I will be careful this time."

Kudo Yusaku calmly warned: "You must be extremely careful. If there are any signs of danger, retreat immediately and don't act recklessly."

Akai Shuichi added: "I will meet you nearby and keep the communication open."

Amuro Toru pulled out a pistol from his waist, checked the magazine, and handed it to Kudo Yuki: "Take this with you, just in case."

Kudo Yuki hesitated for a moment, but still took it.

After the two of them were ready, they set off for the abandoned warehouse in the southern suburbs. Along the way, Amuro Toru drove the car, observing the surroundings with vigilant eyes.

Kudo Yuki took out a half-covered butterfly mask from her bag and put it on, then put on a gray-black coat. Shushu jumped onto her shoulders and said, "Xiaoxue, will there be more excitement this time? I'm looking forward to it."

When Amuro Toru heard what Shu Shu said, his brows slightly frowned. Kudo Yuki whispered in Shu Shu's ear: "Shu Shu, this is not the time to watch the fun. The situation we are facing is very dangerous. Be quiet and don't make trouble."

Shushu shrank his neck and said nothing more.

Amuro Toru saw Shushu shrinking his neck from the rearview mirror in the car, and he curled his lips slightly, not intending to expose him just like that, thinking: "What other secrets does this little guy have? It would be more interesting to expose him after he knows everything."

The two soon arrived at an abandoned warehouse in the southern suburbs.

The area was overgrown with weeds and crows could be heard occasionally. Amuro Toru parked the car in a corner where it was not easy to be discovered, and quietly approached the warehouse with Kudo Yuki.

They went around to one side of the warehouse and hid in a hidden corner with the help of the debris and shadows around the warehouse. They found a hidden corner full of debris.

Kudo Yuki observed the situation in the warehouse through the gap, while Amuro Toru half-crouched with his hand on the pistol at his waist, ready to respond to any emergency at any time.

In the center of the warehouse, the people from the Karasuma Group were approaching each other, and both sides had very serious expressions. The people from the Karasuma Group were carrying a black box, while the other side was a few burly men with fierce looks on their faces.

"Did you bring the money?"

"Where's the goods?"

The two sides were calm at first. The people from the Karasuma Group opened the box and found it was full of cash. However, just as the people from the Karasuma Group were about to take over the goods from the other party, the other party suddenly changed his expression.

"Wait! This amount of money is not enough. Your Karasuma Group is rich and powerful, but is this all your sincerity?" The leader of the other party looked vicious and greedy.

The people from the Karasuma Group looked at each other in bewilderment. One of them sneered, "This is the price we agreed on before. Don't push your luck!"

The two sides began to quarrel fiercely. Seeing this, Kudo Yuki quietly took out a butterfly and marked those people who broke the contract and wanted to blackmail her with the butterfly mark.

In the end, the two sides parted ways unhappily. The people from the Karasuma Group left with their boxes, and those who broke the contract also left cursing.

After everything was quiet and they were sure there was no one else around, Kudo Yuki and Amuro Toru carefully walked into the warehouse. The walls around the warehouse were covered with mottled mosses, and the rusty door creaked in protest when the two pushed it.

The warehouse was filled with a pungent smell of chemicals, which was like an invisible net that tightly wrapped around their mouths and noses.

The surroundings were dark and damp, with water dripping down the walls and creating tiny ripples in the puddles on the ground. Faint light struggled to squeeze in through the dusty windows, barely illuminating a corner of the warehouse.

They searched vigilantly and found that most of the equipment in the laboratory had been moved out, leaving only a few scattered documents and reports scattered on the ground. Those papers were stained with dust and water stains, silently crying out their abandoned fate.

Amuro Toru picked up a report and flipped through it quickly. His fingers gently stroked the paper. As he read deeper, his expression became more solemn: "The important information has been destroyed, leaving only these insignificant things."

Kudo Yuki frowned, her pretty eyes full of thought: "It seems they were well prepared, we are still a step late."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a slight sound. Her heart tightened and she pulled the corner of Amuro Toru's clothes: "Be careful, there seems to be movement."

The two looked at each other, tacitly lowered their footsteps, and quietly approached the direction of the sound.

In the shadow of the warehouse, they saw a familiar figure - Vermouth. She was dressed in black, moving lightly in the warehouse, not realizing that someone was following her.

Vermouth walked to a secret door in the corner of the warehouse and gently pressed the mechanism. The secret door slowly opened, revealing a secret passage leading to the basement. She walked down the stairs, followed closely by Kudo Yuki and Amuro Toru.

In the secret room in the basement, there were rows of experimental instruments and filing cabinets. Vermouth walked to a table and picked up a drug data report with Karasuma Renye's name on it. The moment she saw the data, she was annoyed.

Kudo Yuki had been observing Vermouth, and at this moment she discovered that Vermouth's mood was not right. It was an unwillingness that she had never shown in front of others, but it was also an helpless emotion, an emotion that she wanted to break free but couldn't escape.

Vermouth's hands unconsciously clenched the report, and the paper was wrinkled in her hands.

Toru Amuro's gaze fell on the data of the brainwashing device next to him, and anger flashed in his eyes.

Vermouth was silent for a moment, then said something ambiguous: "I really want to see you in a desperate situation."

Kudo Yuki and Amuro Toru looked at each other, and they both understood that there must be secrets and stories behind what Vermouth said.

Kudo Yuki lowered her voice and said, "From what she said, it sounds like she has a deep hatred towards the old man. Maybe we can make a breakthrough from here and explore her secret."

Amuro Toru nodded slightly, but his eyes never left Vermouth. "But it's not easy to get key information from her."

After thinking about it, Kudo Yuki decided to find another time to explore again and communicated telepathically: "Shushu, is there any item in the Points Mall that can restrain the aura? If there is, just use it directly."

Shushu browsed through the store for a while, "Ding, congratulations to Xiaoxue for buying the Breath-Suppression and Invisibility Talisman. It cost 300 points and the item has been used."

A barely perceptible light flashed by, and no one could detect the breath of Kudo Yuki and Amuro Toru under the effect of the props.

Vermouth looked back as if she sensed something, but found nothing. She continued to look through other drawers, taking out piles of documents and placing them on the table.

Vermouth held the drug data file that Karasuma Renye wanted in her hand, and she murmured in a low voice: "Humph, will your plan really go as you wish, old man..."

After saying that, she put the documents into the black leather bag she carried with her, turned around and left the basement.

Seeing Vermouth's footsteps gradually fade away, Kudo Yuki and Amuro Toru came out from their hiding place. They quickly came to the table and began to carefully look through the documents.

"There must be important clues hidden in these documents." Toru Amuro quickly browsed through the contents of the documents.

"Take away the key parts. The rest cannot be left here."

After Shushu confirmed that there were no toxic substances here, Kudo Yuki took out a lighter from his pocket. With a "click", a faint blue flame jumped up.

She brought the lighter close to the documents, and the flames spread instantly. Soon, the raging fire engulfed the entire desktop.

The two watched the flames burn the documents to ashes before turning around and leaving, their figures disappearing into the secret passage. They carefully avoided possible traps and surveillance along the way and successfully left the warehouse.

After returning to Hiroki Sawada's residence, everyone immediately began to study the documents they brought back.

"Look at these data, Karasuma Renya's plan is even more terrifying than we imagined." Amuro Toru pointed to a set of data on the document with a serious expression.

Kudo Yuki frowned and fell into deep thought: "If these drugs are really successfully developed and put into use, I'm sure the laboratory data in other places will be no less impressive."

Akai Shuichi said in a deep voice: "Karasuma Renya's power is complex and intertwined. What we have touched this time may just be the tip of the iceberg."

Kudo Yusaku pushed his glasses up, his expression serious: "From these documents, it seems that their plan has been in preparation for many years. What we have now is not enough to defeat them in one fell swoop."

Amuro Toru clenched his fists: "But if we let them continue, I don't know how much harm they will cause, and how many innocent people will be implicated!"

Hiroki Sawada, who had been listening silently, suddenly spoke up: "I analyzed the data codes in these files and found that the encryption method is extremely complex, and it seems to hide deeper secrets. Moreover, I suspect that they also have strict protection on the network, and it is not easy to obtain more information."

Kudo Yusaku patted Amuro Toru's shoulder and said, "There's no rush for this matter. Let's put it aside for now. Everyone go back and have a good rest, recharge your batteries, and collect more clues from other sources."
