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

Chapter 192 Mystery in the World Conference: Where is President Suzuki?

At the Beijing World Sports Festival, a female host with delicate makeup and elegant temperament looked at the big screen. "This vacuum superconducting maglev train has a maximum operating speed of an astonishing 1000 kilometers.

Dear guests, thank you very much for your warm applause. This newly developed vacuum superconducting maglev train only takes 25 minutes to travel from Shin-Nagoya Station to Tokyo Shibahama Station. "

"That's amazing! But where is Shibahama standing?"

"Don't you know, Yuanta?"

Ayumi pointed at the beauty on the stage, "That big sister said she will introduce us to someone next."

The female host introduced with a smile: "First of all, Shibahama Station, located between Kawashin Station and Okamatsucho Station, was originally designed to be a dedicated station for vacuum superconducting maglev trains.

Moreover, the venue of today's event, the Shibahama View Hotel, can be directly connected to the station via an underground passage. In addition, the Shibahama Stadium, the main venue for the opening ceremony of the Capital World Games next month, is also directly connected to Shibahama Station.

After the opening of the Capital World Expo, the area around Shibahama Station will become a hotspot with dense traffic, centered on the vacuum superconducting maglev train departure station.

Yuan Tai frowned, even more confused: "What is the world experience she is talking about?"

Ayumi shook her head: "I don't know either."

Mitsuhiko stroked his chin, looking thoughtful: "I remember it seemed like..."

"What are you struggling with?"

The three little ones turned their heads and saw Kudo Yuki, Conan, Haibara Ai and Mouri Ran walking slowly towards them.

Yuan Tai hurriedly asked: "Conan, do you know what the world experience is?"

"Of course I know. The World Sports Congress is abbreviated as the World Sports Congress. It is a sports event held every four years."

Huihara Ai folded her hands in front of her chest and said, "Athletes from all over the world will compete for honor for their country."

Another female host then spoke in a sweet voice: "The vacuum superconducting maglev train will be officially put into operation. The passengers of the first train include representatives of the sponsors of the capital's World Games and representatives of the World Games associations of various countries who are attending the event today.

Next, let us invite Mr. Alan Mackenzie, President of the International World Sports Association, to deliver a speech as the representative of this event. "

Kudo Yuki complained in her heart: [It's strange that the FBI director would appear here!]

On the big screen, Mr. Alan Mackenzie smiled and said, "Hello, local friends! I am looking forward to attending the opening ceremony of the Capital World Sports Center with you and riding the world's first vacuum superconducting maglev train with you."

"Thank you for your speech, Mr. Alan."

"We have one more thing to tell the guests here: experience the maglev train."

Yuan Tai excitedly clasped his hands behind his head, his eyes shining: "I want to take the train, too."

Mitsuhiko spread his hands helplessly: "Let's forget about it, ordinary people."

Conan's mouth twitched, and he looked helpless: "They are so happy that it seems like they have already won the prize."

Mao Lilan held her bag in her hand. "Is it too early to be happy now?"

"Why?" the three kids asked in unison.

"Didn't you tell her that we were going to draw lots?" Kudo Yuki smiled and reminded, "For a large event like this, the chances of an ordinary person winning the lottery are about 1%."

Mitsuhiko stroked his chin, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "I remember that several companies under the Suzuki Group are sponsors of the World Games in the capital. Why don't we ask Sister Sonoko for help?"

"How can I just give you a platinum VIP ticket like this?" Suzuki Sonoko put her hands on her hips and pouted, "Don't think the world is so simple."

"Okay, Sonoko, just ask first."

"That's right, tickets for a few children shouldn't be a problem."

Suzuki Sonoko was a little dissatisfied: "Really, you guys are too pampering these little brats."

The three little ones all protested with their hands on their hips.

"Please don't interrupt."

“We’re almost there with the tickets.”

"Don't get in the way here."

Suzuki Sonoko bent down and said, "You little brats, you should be thankful that you can come here today."

At this time, a waiter came over and politely reminded: "Excuse me, the dining car will be parked here later. Could you please make way?"

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran were smiling and very polite.

"Ok."

"This will make room for you."

Kudo Yuki and a few others quickly moved away and watched the location of the food cart from a distance. The lids of the plates were opened one by one, and waves of tempting aromas filled the air. The three little ones stared at the food with bright eyes, drooling.

Conan, Haibara Ai and Kudo Yuki all held orange juice in their hands and watched the three little ones playing and fighting.

“The mentality changes really quickly.”

"That's right. After all, he is younger than us."

"We are both only teenagers, okay?"

Kudo Yuki laughed and teased, "That depends on who you compare yourself to. For example, compared to me, you two are still young kids."

Conan rolled his eyes helplessly, "Sister, please stop teasing us. Although we are young, we have experienced a lot."

Kudo Yuki reached out and ruffled Conan's hair, "Yes, yes, you are all little adults."

Huihara Ai watched the interaction between the siblings, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, "But seriously, the world of children is always so simple and happy, and the troubles are gone in an instant."

"Yeah, unlike us, who are bothered by various cases and organizational matters all day long."

Kudo Yuki patted Conan on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so pessimistic. At least there are still such relaxing moments now."

"Then let's toast to these children who are optimistic and innocent by nature." As soon as Haibara Ai finished speaking, the surrounding lights went out instantly and the entire hall fell into darkness.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

Conan reacted quickly and checked the surroundings, and found a faint light. He turned on the flashlight on his watch, "Excuse me, Huiyuan. Help me get the cup."

"Wait, Edogawa." Haibara Ai held two glasses of orange juice in both hands, shook her head helplessly, and toasted to herself.

Kudo Yuki saw Conan still looking for the light, but was stopped by Mao Lilan: "Conan, are you okay?"

"Sister Xiaolan."

"Next we have to find the children."

A broadcast echoed in the darkness.

"Shibahama View Hotel Broadcast Notice:

Due to a sudden power failure, the hotel is currently out of power. Please do not panic, we are urgently turning on the backup power supply and it is expected to be restored within 5 minutes.

During this period, please do not use the elevator to prevent accidents. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you and thank you for your understanding and cooperation. "

The surrounding lights slowly lit up, illuminating the dark venue with a ray of warm light.

"Dad, Dad, if you're here, just say yes."

"Yuanzi, what happened?"

"Sister Xue, my father disappeared suddenly, and I can't get through on the phone."

Mao Lilan came over at this time and patted Sonoko's shoulder comfortingly, "Wasn't he with you just now?"

"We were together, but when the emergency light came on, he disappeared. Where did he go?"

Suzuki Sonoko looked around for someone, and when she saw someone she knew, she quickly walked up to him and said, "Mr. John, I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation."

"Ms. Sonoko, what happened?"

"My father is missing. He was with me just now. Do you know where he went?"

"Um, Mr. John..." Before Yuanzi could finish her words, the man was stunned for a moment, then ran away in panic.

Ai Huihara leaned close to Conan and whispered softly: "The power outage just now lasted about 30 seconds."

"In such a short time, he disappeared from such a large venue."

"That means it's our turn to perform."

"It's been a while since I showed off my skills."

"you do not say."

The three children spoke in unison: "We are the legendary Boy Detective Team."

Conan's mouth twitched and he shook his head helplessly.

Kudo Yuki just smiled helplessly: "Sonoko, please ask the hotel staff to help find it."

Sonoko nodded, and hurried to find the hotel staff and call the police. Everyone also took action, carefully looking for the traces of Sonoko's father in the venue.

Five minutes later, the power was restored at the Shibahama View Hotel, and the entire venue was bright again. Officer Megure also rushed to the scene: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

"Inspector Megure." Miwako Sato and Officer Takagi trotted over.

"how is the situation?"

Officer Takagi said sternly, "We haven't found President Suzuki yet."

Miwako Sato then reported: "We called the hotel through the radio, but there was no response."

"This could be a case of kidnapping for ransom."

Officer Takagi quickly added: "Also, Conan and his friends also attended the party, and they said that they saw something like bluish-white flames right after the power outage."

"Let's hear what he has to say."

The three of them came together to the place where Conan was looking for clues.

Conan said bluntly: "I think it should be that thing, the thing that the bad guys use to discharge electricity in TV dramas to knock people out."

Miwako Sato responded: "Taser."

Officer Megure stroked his chin, thinking: "Could it be that President Suzuki was also knocked down by a stun gun?

Conan was confused: "President Suzuki too?"

Miwako Sato rested one hand on her chin and thought, "It would take more than 30 seconds to get an unconscious person out of here."

"Have you checked the surveillance video?"

"Yes." The service staff recounted the incident seriously: "After the backup power supply was turned on, we carefully checked the surveillance and found no suspicious persons."

Conan fell into deep thought: "It's really strange. How could he take the person out under the eyes of so many people? And what is the criminal's purpose?"

Not far away, the three little ones were looking for clues seriously.

"it is as expected."

"What did you find?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Yuan Tai, who was closing his eyes and smelling something. He pointed to the empty space in front and said, "There's clearly the smell of eel, but why is there no eel rice?"

"So that's what's happening." Kudo Yuki looked at Conan, who had a thoughtful look on his face, and the siblings walked over.

He pointed to the location Yuan Tai just mentioned: "Look here, there is one less dining car. There should have been food here before."

"Let me think." The waiter recalled the details: "This should be grilled eel with steamed glutinous rice and red bean rice in soup. But it's not right. The staple food just came up, how come it's gone?"

Kudo Yuki analyzed, "If I'm not mistaken, the murderer must have knocked President Suzuki unconscious, stuffed him under the tablecloth, used a dining cart to hide him from the public, and pushed him to a location near the kitchen to hide President Suzuki. He should still be somewhere in this hotel."

Hearing this, Conan lifted up the tablecloth next to him and looked carefully: "There is enough space for one person here."

Miwako Sato squatted down to check the space under the tablecloth and nodded, saying, "It is indeed possible. This way, the person can be quietly transported away. If this is true, the criminal is likely to be a hotel staff member, or dressed as a hotel staff member."

Officer Megure decisively ordered: "Go find witnesses to see if anyone pushed the food cart out from here, and then check the hotel's surveillance video again."

"Wait a moment." Kudo Yuki stopped the two of them and said, "Officer Megure, lend me Sato Miwako for two minutes. I want to talk to her alone. You can continue investigating."

Officer Megure and Officer Takagi exchanged glances, nodded, and went to arrange the investigation work.

Kudo Yuki pulled Sato Miwako to a corner and lowered her voice: "Miwako, do you know where Matsuda Jinpei and the other two are now?"

Miwako Sato looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention to them before she moved closer to Yuki Kudo and also lowered her voice.

"Xiaoxue, ever since Manager Kuroda gathered those people together, they have been transferred from their original positions. Their current job is to assist the personnel in secret. As for what they are doing, I don't know, but one thing you can rest assured is that they are safe."

"It's good to know that they are safe. Manager Kuroda has always been sensible in what he does. Since he made the arrangement, it must have been well thought out."

"Xiaoxue, now that you mention it, I really miss Zhen Ping. I really want to meet him right now."

"Don't worry too much, Miwako. Once they complete their mission, they will contact us as soon as possible."

"Yeah, I know, but I can't help thinking about it in my heart."

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps not far away. The two men instantly became alert, and their expressions instantly returned to their normal calm.

Kudo Yuki gave Sato Miwako a look, and the two immediately stopped talking, pretending nothing had happened, and went their separate ways to do their own things.

She walked to the kitchen, and as she approached, she heard the three little ones talking.

"Over here, the smell of eel wafts over from here."

"Yuanta is so awesome, just like a police dog!"

"I didn't expect you to be so capable."

When Kudo Yuki heard their conversation, she couldn't help but smile. She quickened her pace and followed the sound to the door of the storage room. She moved lightly and looked at the people inside through the crack in the door.

Inside the door, members of the Junior Detective Team are looking for clues.

Ayumi looked around: "No one."

Conan leaned in and carefully observed the surrounding environment, "Because the waiters are all being questioned."

"Yuanta, what's the situation?"

“It must be this room.”

"I found it."

"Is it true? Haibara-san."
