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

Huiyuan Ai pointed to the front and said, "The cart inside should be the one that disappeared from the banquet."

Conan ran over and looked around. Suddenly, he saw some discarded clothes not far away. "Why is there a male waiter's uniform here?"

The three kids ran to the dining cart, and Huihara Ai lifted the tablecloth, "Edogawa, President Suzuki is not in this cart."

Conan noticed some sauce on the cabinet next to him. He leaned in and smelled it, "Kabayaki sauce." With doubt, he reached out and opened the cabinet door, only to see President Suzuki lying unconscious inside.

Kudo Yuki pushed the door open and walked in, praising: "You found the person so quickly, that's amazing!"

She walked forward quickly and leaned over to check on President Suzuki's condition. "It looks like he's just unconscious. Let's take him to the infirmary first."

Kudo Yuki pinched President Suzuki's philtrum, waking him up and bringing him to the infirmary.

15 minutes later, Inspector Megure and others came to the infirmary.

Miwako Sato asked, "So, what does the suspect look like?"

"I didn't see it. There was a power outage and it was pitch black. When I woke up, I saw these children and this young lady."

Yuan Tai crossed his arms and raised his chin. "Our Junior Detective Team has done a great job."

Mitsuhiko and Ayumi beside them nodded, with proud expressions on their faces.

Officer Takagi was taking notes, "Inspector, President Mitsuzuka's testimony also said the same thing."

Conan stood aside, stroking his chin, thinking to himself: [That means that President Mitsuzuka also had the same experience.]

President Suzuki straightened his back and said, "So, was the last incident really planned by someone?"

"Dad, what do you mean?"

"The friend I met last week suddenly disappeared. Do you remember?"

"It's the female president who plays golf with dad a lot lately."

"Is this true? The child's father."

"I didn't play with her alone."

Suzuki Sonoko tried to recall: "But I remember that when the police arrived, they found her in the bathroom of the stadium."

"That's right. But she didn't tell us what happened at that time. Besides, she didn't come to the party today."

Kudo Yuki noticed someone was secretly eavesdropping on her, so she quietly glanced at the crack in the door and saw that it was Mr. John, an acquaintance that Suzuki Sonoko had greeted before.

Conan looked up, "Is the female president surnamed Mitsuka also a sponsor of this World Expo?"

"Indeed."

Then, Mr. John seemed to realize that he was discovered and quietly closed the door.

Kudo Yuki and the Junior Detective Team returned to Dr. Agasa's house chatting and laughing all the way, and everyone told him what had happened in detail.

Dr. Agasa took out his tablet, swiped his finger across the screen, and began searching online. "Mitsuka Eiko is the president of Mitsuka Sugar, right?"

Yuan Tai's eyes lit up when he saw her product's trademark. "I recognize this trademark. It's on the chocolate packaging of Kamen Rider."

Mitsuhiko nodded and said, "You're right. I have the same impression."

"Compared to this, I care more about..." Conan was about to express his thoughts, but was interrupted by Ayumi's excited voice: "Look, there is a Kamen Rider show."

Everyone's eyes were drawn to it, and Kudo Yuki's eyes also moved to the tablet, where she saw the words written on it:

The recruitment for the Kamen Rider show to commemorate the opening of the Maglev Train has ended. Thank you for your enthusiastic registration!

The three little ones immediately started shouting.

"Really? It was the day the maglev train was first launched."

“It will be held at Shibahama Station.”

“I really want to go and see it.”

Kudo Yuki looked at their eager expressions and teased with a smile: "But unfortunately, the audience recruitment ended a long time ago."

The three kids listened and complained, "What the hell? This is so discouraging."

"Don't worry about them for now." Huiyuan Ai's little hand kept zooming in on the screen to reveal the logo, and looked at Conan. "This is what you care about, right? Capital World Experience."

"Well, this company and Chairman Suzuki's company are both sponsors of the World Cup in the capital. The bosses of the two companies were kidnapped one after another. Is this a coincidence?"

Kudo Yuki smiled meaningfully: "Conan, do you remember what I told you?"

"Remember, you said that in this world, there are no coincidences, only inevitable results."

Dr. Agasa stroked his chin and said, "So, there may be some connection between these two things."

Inside the Kudo family residence, Okiya Subaru was sitting on the sofa, flipping through a mystery novel.

At this moment, the mobile phone beside him suddenly rang. He put down the book in his hand, picked up the phone, saw that the caller ID was James, and then answered the call.

"It's me. Although this may be a little sudden, you remember the serial kidnapping case in the World Expo 15 years ago, right?"

"of course."

"That horrific case may be repeated here this time."

"Yes, it does seem so."

Subaru Okiya stood up and slowly walked to the window, looking at the peaceful sky outside, but his thoughts had already drifted away. He was thinking about the possible connections and similarities between the two cases.

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan came to Dr. Agasa's house with a lot of things in their arms. As soon as they entered the door, the three little ones' eyes were attracted by the items in their hands.

The three little ones gathered around the table and looked at the dazzling array of toys on the table, and they couldn't let go of them.

"Sister Sonoko, can we really accept all of these Kamen Rider merchandise?

"This is Kamen Rider's scarf."

"And what about the figurines?"

Suzuki Sonoko sat down on the chair, "These are all gifts for you, thank you for helping me find my father."

When the three little ones heard this, they jumped up with joy and shouted in unison: "That's great!"

Mao Lilan stood aside and looked at the three little ones' happy faces, "Everyone is really happy."

Conan and Haibara Ai sat on chairs a little further away, looking at the dolls and figurines on the table with indifferent expressions, not really wanting to interact with them.

"I don't have to."

"Me too."

"Actually, I have prepared a gift." Suzuki Sonoko smiled mysteriously, then took out 7 tickets from her bag and waved them in front of the children.

Mitsuhiko came forward and asked, "Who sent the letter?"

"Wrong answer."

"Just tell us the answer."

"This is a platinum ticket for the special train commemorating the opening of the maglev train from Shin-Nazumaya to Shibahama, which is being drawn up nationwide. You can ride on the vacuum superconducting maglev train."

When the three little ones heard this, their eyes lit up instantly, full of desire.

"Yes, Master Sonoko."

"Thank you so much."

Suzuki Sonoko changed her tone and crossed her arms over her chest: "Don't be too happy too soon. Even Miss Sonoko can only get seven platinum tickets."

The three kids said in unison: "Only seven."

Then the three kids started counting. After Ayumi finished counting, she felt a little disappointed: "That means there are eight of us."

Dr. Agasa waved his hands hastily: "No, no, there are nine of us including me."

Suzuki Sonoko simply ignored the question: "The doctor is an adult, he must be ruled out first."

"When was the decision made?"

Upon hearing this, Kudo Yuki walked over to sit next to Conan and said, "I'm an adult too, so I'll exclude it too."

"No." Suzuki Sonoko rejected it directly, and stamped her feet heavily to show her attitude. "Sister Xue, you are the one who woke up my father. I can't exclude you no matter what."

"OK then."

Suzuki Sonoko was happy: "We still have to choose another person who can't ride."

Mitsuhiko was puzzled: "How do I choose?"

"Of course, guessing is what the doctor is best at."

Ayumi wondered, "Why?"

"Because this is the fairest way. Don't think that pie will always fall from the sky."

Yuan Tai pursed his lips and muttered, "Stingy."

"Well, I really want to go. But there's no other way. I have to withdraw for everyone else." Dr. Agasa shook his head helplessly and picked up the whistle around his neck: "Okay, let's guess the riddle." Then he blew a whistle.

Dr. Agasa asked: "Someone has already taken the first batch of passengers on the vacuum superconducting maglev train. Which of the following three people did they take? 1. Lawyer 2. Doctor 3. Missionary."

Haibara Ai and Conan looked at each other almost the moment the doctor finished speaking, and saw the expression of knowing the answer in each other's eyes.

“This question is too simple.”

"you do not say."

Dr. Agasa walked up to the two and said, "You guessed too quickly."

Huihara Ai placed her hands on the table and said, "It's okay. I really want to sit down and take a look."

The two of them tacitly leaned close to Dr. Agasa's ear and whispered the answer to him.

Mao Lilan turned to her friend for help: "Sonoko, do you know the answer?"

“I am totally confused.”

Dr. Agasa looked at Conan and Huihara Ai and smiled with satisfaction: "The answer is correct."

The three little ones seemed a little lost.

“This question is too difficult.”

"Give me some hints."

"I have no idea."

Haibara Ai and Conan both leaned on the table with one hand and turned the direction of their chairs.

"Then I'll give you a hint. In order for the carriages of the superconducting maglev train to float on the track, the train must be equipped with a super-strong magnet called a superconducting magnet."

"If you change the term lawyer, physician, and missionary to another term, it would be jurist, doctor, and preacher."

When Mao Lilan heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she reacted instantly: "I know, Doctor."

"The answer is..." Mao Lilan whispered in Dr. Agasa's ear. Dr. Agasa stood up and said, "The answer is correct."

"great!"

Suzuki Sonoko looked at Mao Lilan, "Ran?"

"I'm sorry, Sonoko."

Dr. Agasa reminded: "There are only three tickets left."

Suzuki Sonoko stood up and put her hands on her hips. "I won't lose to a bunch of brats. The person who got on the vacuum superconducting maglev train must be Miss Sonoko. But it's really hard to guess. A missionary is a preacher." She repeated the last sentence three times.

The three kids started to think seriously and said in unison: "We know the correct answer is missionary."

Kudo Yuki was watching the game from the side, thinking about Suzuki Sonoko's performance in her heart, and understood her deep meaning.

Not long after, the three little ones left Dr. Agasa's house with gifts and figurines in their arms.

“It’s great to be able to ride the maglev train.”

"And there are so many Kamen Rider peripherals."

"I have to go home quickly and show off to my parents."

Kudo Yuki saw Okiya Subaru in the car at the door, and there was another car behind him, which was James's car, so she couldn't help but slow down.

Conan walked to the front door and suddenly pretended that he hadn't found his phone. "Oh no, I think I left my phone at the doctor's house. I can't remember where I put it. You guys should go back first."

The three children said in unison: "Goodbye then."

"Goodbye."

Ran Mouri reported to Conan: "We two have also made an appointment to meet with Sera." After that, she turned around and left, taking Sonoko with her.

Seeing that everyone had left, Kudo Yuki quickened her pace and came to Okiya Subaru's red car, frowning slightly: "Your important FBI figures are here, did something big happen?"

Subaru Okiya put one hand outside the car window with a gentle smile on his face, "I want to go for a ride with the two of you, would you like to do me a favor?"

Hearing this, the brother and sister nodded to each other and got into the car. The car behind them also followed steadily.

Inside the car, Conan sat in the passenger seat, looking down at his phone to search for relevant information, "They are all sponsors of the Capital World Sports Festival, this is what they have in common.

President Mitsutsuka disappeared while playing golf, and President Suzuki was kidnapped at a banquet. A similar incident happened in the United States 15 years ago!"

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Okiya Subaru's expression, and then glanced at the car behind him through the rearview mirror, "I was right, after all, the FBI has been dispatched."

Okiya Subaru praised: "As expected of a brother and sister."

"I found it on the Internet." Conan replied while quickly scrolling through the screen of his phone: "15 years ago in the United States, there was a serial kidnapping case of sponsors on the eve of the opening of the Boston World Games."

Kudo Yuki leaned against the back seat, and the information compiled by Noah's Ark appeared on her phone. "The first one is a senior executive of a Japanese pastry manufacturer in Atlanta, the second one is a senior executive of a consortium in Chicago, and the third one is a senior executive of a car manufacturer in Detroit."

She paused, her eyes becoming serious. "Since this case was committed across states, the FBI was in charge of the investigation. However, the third victim escaped from the criminals and was shot dead at the station."

Subaru Okiya turned on the receiver with one hand, and James' voice came out immediately: "Although the victims of the first and second kidnapping cases were rescued safely, for some reason, they remained silent when asked about the suspect's information and refused to cooperate with the investigation."

Judy interjected, "There are rumors that the suspect is from the island."

"Well, the suspect is a sushi chef from Boston named Makoto Ishihara. He and the victim both attended a banquet for the Boston World Cup.

Moreover, he was near the scene when the victim of the third incident was killed. In addition, his fingerprints were detected on the murder weapon pistol found afterwards, but when he was arrested by the FBI, Ishihara refused to admit to the crime. "

"I heard that the motive for the crime was to protest against the commercialization of the World Sports Arena, so this terrorist act was committed."

"The company whose top executives were kidnapped immediately stopped sponsoring the World Sports Association, which is why this statement came about."
