The Fourth Calamity

On the side of the road, just a few streets away from the wealthy area, a low-key Porsche 356A parked here. Gin in the passenger seat listened silently to what was coming from the earphones, and exhaled a smoke ring.

"Brother, did someone do it before us?" Vodka asked.

"Ah." Qin Jiu responded lightly, under the black brim, slightly raised his dark eyes, "Maybe someone in the organization leaked the news."

Otherwise, how could something go wrong just when they were about to do it?

The artificial intelligence is too involved, and even the gin is dispatched. Who would have thought that the target disappeared just before the attack.

"Then we give up this operation?"

"No, it will be difficult to find after you miss this opportunity. After the kidnapping case, the bodyguards should be changed, and the ones we put in will no longer be available." Qin Jiu said lightly, "The target of the kidnappers this time It's revenge, and it has no hatred for the child, so we won't attack him for the time being, and we'll intercept him after the detectives figure out where the robber is."

"This incident can also be used to test how many people have different intentions." Qin Jiu said here, Sen Han's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Call them over here."

"Yes."

All eyes are on the missing Sawada Hiroki.

So where is Hiroki now?

That's right, he is here to seal the candle.

They were unrestrained, and had no sense of being kidnapped or kidnapped at all. They just went around as they did a few days ago, and visited famous attractions such as the Ferris wheel and large parks.

At this time, they were tired from playing and sat on the sightseeing car of the zoo to rest.

Everything so far is within Fengzhu's plan, and the purpose is naturally to get Hongshu out of Sindora's control, but this is not a simple matter, after all Sindola has Hongshu's guardianship.

Feng Zhu's plan is to finally achieve the goal of making Sindora lose Hongshu's custody through this kidnapping incident, but this will only be realized at the end of the plan, and what they have to do now is to try their best to keep things Make a big fuss and attract the attention of the media.

The game played with the police is based on this purpose. The more twists and turns, the more attention the media and the public will pay.

Sawada Hiroki turned his head to see the scenery passing by. Most of the people who come to the zoo are couples, or children holding the hands of their parents, and then there are groups of teenagers.

For him, the past few days are like a dream. He has never experienced playing with his peers without any scruples before.Since moving to the United States to show his talents, he has been locked in a cold room and continued to work.

"Hey, Hiroki," Feng Zhu asked suddenly, "If, I mean, if I hadn't appeared, would you have ended your life after inventing Noah's Ark?"

Sawada Hiroki turned his head to look at Feng Zhu in surprise, opened his mouth, but failed to refute immediately, lowered his head: "Yes."

"Really..." Feng Zhu sighed, "What about Noah's Ark, are you going to destroy it too?"

"You keep asking me questions too cunningly, and I have questions I want to ask you too."

"go ahead."

"I've always wondered why you know me so well."

Feng Zhu was stunned for a moment: "Why do you ask that?"

"I have a vague feeling that the way you look at me doesn't look like the way you look at strangers, and you don't look like someone who is so patient with strangers. Even if I have value, there is no reason to put so much effort into pleasing me. What's more, you are still a genius far beyond me, you can do anything I can think of, but I really can't think of anything about myself that attracts you." Hiroki Sawada said honestly.

Unexpectedly, Feng Zhu couldn't hold back a chuckle after hearing this: "So you're worried about this."

Sawada Hiroki was a little depressed: "What's so funny..."

"I just laughed at you for worrying too much. Is there any reason to make friends?" Feng Zhu shrugged. Well, I'm not as talented as you think."

Sawada Hiroki automatically ignored the latter sentence, and the softest part of his heart was touched: "Yeah."

Friend, that word had never been in his life before.Whether in Japan or the United States, his peers always look at him from a distance. Even if curious people approach him, they will soon become alienated due to various things.

'Sorry, because we are obviously not from the same world. '

Now he has found his only companion in this world.

"Then back to my question just now," Feng Zhu moved a little closer, and the two of them were shoulder to shoulder. Hiroki Sawada hadn't been so close to someone for a long time, and the warmth on his shoulders made him both helpless and a little happy.

"Do you want to destroy the Noah's Ark you created with your own hands?"

"...If I created it myself, I would destroy it." Hiroki replied obediently, "Noah's Ark is like another me. I don't want it to be used by adults to do bad things again."

"I think, if Uncle Einstein knew that the atomic bomb he made was used on human beings, he would regret it." Hiroki said softly, "But now I give up, because Noah's Ark is not mine alone. and even without Noah’s Ark, you can create other artificial intelligence, so destroying Noah’s Ark is meaningless.”

Hiroki Sawada listened to the cheers of the crowd outside the sightseeing car, and said softly: "Pandora's box has been opened, and what comes out of it is destruction or hope, it all depends on the human beings themselves."

Feng Zhu quietly listened to Hong Shu's thoughts: "Why don't you try to convince me?"

"Eh?"

"Because Hiroki, you don't have any trust in the nature of human beings. You have always held pessimistic thoughts, so you chose to self-destruct. But if you can convince me, maybe I will agree with you to turn off Nuo Sub-Ark, and promised not to make other strong artificial intelligence." Feng Zhu said seriously, "How about it, do you want to try to convince me?"

Sawada Hiroki stared at him blankly, and laughed: "No, I don't think I have such a good eloquence."

"Then come and hear what I think?" Feng Zhu looked at Hong Shu seriously.

Sawada Hiroki looked at him in confusion, and nodded.

"Ah, before that, we have to change places, let's talk as we go." Suddenly, Feng Zhu touched the Bluetooth headset and said.

-

"That's right, this code refers to the Mihua Zoo." Conan and others rushed here in a police car, surrounded by tourists. Today is a rest day, which caused great difficulties for the police to search.

"That's right here."

"Go to the Panda Garden!"

The policemen in plain clothes rushed to the location of the Panda Garden aggressively, and Conan, Xiaolan, and Dazai followed behind.

"Is it really that simple?" Conan was a little suspicious. Although his uncle successfully unlocked the code on the letter under his prompt, he always felt that it would not be so simple without this incident.

The scene of the crime itself is very strange. If the prisoner came in through the window, why didn't Hiroki-kun struggle or yell? Obviously the bodyguards are in the villa, and they can be attracted by just yelling.

And why did the robbers take away an insignificant box instead of cash and valuable materials in the room?I heard from Syndora that there were only some models and electronic components that Hiroki liked in the box. Why did the robbers take this away?

A 10-year-old child can be kidnapped quietly, unless Hiroki himself was unconscious before the robber came, but no hypnotic gas was detected in the room, and there was no sleeping pill in the water cup. From the monitoring point of view, although Hiroki disappeared The part of the story is gone, but Hiroki was awake before that, too.

In other words, Hiroki is likely to follow the kidnappers voluntarily.

but why?

Was it an acquaintance who committed the crime, but according to Sindo La, Hiroki left Japan a long time ago, so there should be no acquaintances here.

"There's a new letter!"

The police found a new letter at the location indicated by the target. Mori Kogoro put on his gloves and opened the letter, his expression serious again.

"It's this kind of code again, how many times does this kind of game come again!"

[Your movements are a little slower than I imagined, but for the sake of your first time playing, you should give a reward. You'd better find the next place before 14:[-], then we can play a game of hide-and-seek By the way, I can't guarantee Hiroki-kun's safety if it's timed out.

Come on detectives, I hope you can find the truth behind the truth. 】

Behind the card is a series of unknown horizontal lines and dots, and a page of paper with codes written on it.

"Damn it, it's 14 o'clock... Isn't there only half an hour left?!" Mouri Kogoro was a little crazy, "What are these?!"

Conan hurried over, rubbed his chin with his finger and thought carefully.

Osamu Dazai looked at Conan curiously. Although the other policemen didn't seem to notice it, he could see it clearly. Detective Maori was able to know that the secret signal referred to the zoo under the prompt of this child.

The kid's reasoning ability reminded him of Ranpo Edogawa in Yokohama. It's amazing. Are there so many geniuses in this world?

Eh, wait, speaking of these two people have the same surname, could it be...

"Little friend." Dazai Osamu suddenly walked up to Conan who was thinking, and looked him up and down with a curious look.

"Uh, what's the matter?" Conan's thinking was interrupted, and he realized that Osamu Dazai was so close, and he immediately became vigilant.

"Do you have a relative named Edogawa Ranpo?" Osamu Dazai asked curiously.

Conan froze for a moment, subconsciously trying to control his expression, but his reaction had already confirmed the fact to Osamu Dazai.

"It's really a relative of that famous detective, no wonder he has such a mind." Osamu Dazai lamented the power of genes.

Conan couldn't help asking: "Brother Dazai knows Ranpo, uh, brother Ranpo?"

"Yes, we still have a relationship." Osamu Dazai said seriously. If Luanbu knew at this moment, he would definitely blame him for messing around. Their armed detective agency has nothing to do with the black mud spirit!

Conan's nerves relaxed a little, it turned out that he was someone Ranpo knew.

Regarding this distant cousin, Conan's feelings are quite complicated. If he had to say it, he was the first person who made the young Shinichi feel the truth of 'human beings are not equal'.

The dream of becoming a detective that I have been pursuing so hard, the knowledge I have accumulated hard for this, and the logical reasoning ability I have exercised, that person seems to be born with it.

If Shinichi was praised as a genius since he was a child, he still had some arrogance, from the moment he met Ranbu, this little arrogance completely disappeared.

Compared with real geniuses, he is just an ordinary person.

Realizing this, Shinichi at the time did not give up his dream of becoming a detective, but continued to work hard with this cousin as his goal, until he finally made a name for himself in high school.

Now, hearing the name of this cousin again after almost ten years, Kudo Shinichi, who has changed his name to Conan, has a very complicated mood: "Brother Ranpo, how are you now?"

"Huh? He's very nice. Every time the police encounter a difficult case, they will go to him to handle the case. He is famous in Yokohama." Osamu Dazai smiled and said, this is not a lie. You can hear it even if you are not in Yokohama.

"I see." Conan relaxed a little, but he will not be affected by emotions when reasoning, and from the current point of view, Osamu Dazai is still suspected.

But the most urgent thing now is to find out the next location from the reminder given by the kidnapper, otherwise Hiroki will be in danger.

Avlt

+3-9

What does this mean?

Also, is the combination of dashes and dots written on the reward card also a code?

Conan frowned and pondered, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, 3-9=-6, if the equal sign is removed, it will be 3-9-6, that's right, this is it!In many places in Japan, it is expressed by adding a slash between three numbers: "Uncle..."

"Ah, I figured it out!"

At this time, Dazai suddenly made a sound, holding the reward card, and interrupted Conan innocently: "Could this be the Morse code?"

"Huh?" Mori Kogoro snatched the card immediately after hearing this, and took out his phone, "Let me see, this means—"

"1888, JTR" Osamu Dazai read softly, "a string of numbers, a set of letters, the interesting thing is that these two parts have different interpretations wherever they appear, but once they are combined, people can't help but think of that A famous event."

"Huh?" Mori Kogoro asked with a question mark on his face.

Conan lowered his head, his glasses were flickering with reflections, and he couldn't see his eyes clearly.

"Active in the city of fog in 1888, a strange case that has not been solved until now, and a serial killer who has inspired countless artistic creations." Dazai Osamu said with a chuckle.

- "jacktheripper (Jack the Ripper)"

The two voices were synchronized at this moment, and Conan couldn't help saying the name with Osamu Dazai.

"Correct! Children now have a wide range of knowledge." Osamu Dazai joked.

"Ha, haha, because I happened to be very interested in Sherlock Holmes, so I paid attention to the case of London in the 19th century." Edogawa Conan said hastily.

"So that's the case." Osamu Dazai didn't seem to pursue it, and all his emotions were hidden under his smiling appearance, "But why did the robber want to remind us of this? Even if he knew about this unsolved case, it has been 100 years since the case happened. After many years, it has long been impossible to find out who is the famous Jack."

"Huh? Maybe it's just you kid thinking it's Jack the Ripper." Mori Kogoro curled his lips.

"It's not impossible, maybe it's just that my reasoning is wrong." Osamu Dazai shrugged, and said eccentrically, "It's impossible for the robbers to already know Jack's true face, so they want to tell us the truth, haha ​​no way .”

how is this possible……

Conan opened his half-moon eyes and laughed, he didn't take Dazai Osamu's casual joke to heart at all. Now he has guessed the location indicated by the number of the code, but he still doesn't know what vlt is. In short, find a way to get the location Tell the uncles.

Conan didn't notice how ugly Syndora's face became after hearing Dazai Osamu's strange words.

Damn it!Those robbers really knew it!

Or did Hiroki disclose it to them on purpose?Sure enough, he shouldn't have been kept in the first place!

What should I do, just let them find Hiroki's location, but if Hiroki tells the police his secret, then everything will be over.

Or do you want to find Hongshu before the police find him, and then silence him, but how can he know where Hongshu is now.

Syndora was anxious, but there was nothing she could do, she could only watch the police and detectives reasoning.

Of course, what they didn't know was that there was always a low-key Porsche following them not too far away, and the vodka in the driver's seat was a little anxious: "These policemen are really useless, and they haven't found their target yet,"

"Don't worry, it will be a matter of time anyway." Gin whispered, "Don't just stare at the police, we just need to stare at Thomas Syndora, that old guy is more anxious than anyone else to find Hiroki Sawada first .”

"I heard that he is oppressing Hiroki Sawada to invent artificial intelligence," Vodka was a little puzzled, "is it because artificial intelligence has not been invented yet?"

"No, it's because Sawada Hiroki has something against this old guy, so he's so anxious to silence him." Gin Jiu sneered.

The bodyguards around Syndorah and the R&D department of Syndorah have spies. With the intelligence from both sides, it is not difficult to deduce this fact.

"Then we need to kidnap people before Syndora?"

"Ah, this is your task, Bourbon and Hill." Gin looked at the rearview mirror, in the back seat of the car, Toru Amuro and Rena Mizumura were sitting on one side, with cold expressions on their faces.

Toru Amuro: "It's just a 10-year-old child, do we need all four of us to go out?"

"To be precise, he is a child with a nuclear bomb." Qin Jiu said lightly. He also had some doubts about the fact that someone kidnapped Hongshu before them. He suspected that someone in the organization had obtained the news in advance and replaced Hongshu. .

It just so happened that he had two doubting members in mind.

AI matters so much that the government and other organizations certainly don't want the Black Shirts to get a scientist who can invent AI, especially if the genius scientist is only 10 years old.

At this time, whoever showed his flaws and intentionally caused the mission to fail was very likely to be an undercover agent of another organization.

However, Gin always felt that something was wrong, without any evidence, but when he was inspecting the terrain before, he saw that the shoe prints on Hongshu's window sill clearly belonged to another child, which gave him an inexplicable premonition.

Toru Amuro and Rena Mizumusa saw the cold killing intent in Gin's eyes, and their hearts shivered.

It seems that this task must be completed anyway.

-

Feng Zhu and Hong Shu moved to another address by car long before the police arrived. It happened that there was a volunteer activity for AIDS prevention held here. Looking at the past, the little volunteers were all wearing white T-shirts and red hats, all pinned on their chests. Red ribbon.

"It should be possible to continue the previous conversation here." Sawada Hiroki asked.

"Don't worry," Feng Zhu glanced around, and suddenly took Hong Shu's hand to an adult who was also wearing a volunteer activity, "Excuse me, we are also volunteers for this activity, but we accidentally lost our hats gone."

"Huh?" The woman looked at their white clothes, but they didn't wear hats. After thinking for a while, she took out two red hats and red ribbons from the box, "I really can't help you, I have to wear them properly this time." Slightly, if you lose it again, no one will repost it.”

"Ok~"

The two responded and blended into the crowd wearing Little Red Riding Hood and white T-shirts. Hiroki tugged at Feng Zhu's sleeve: "Now you can always tell me."

Feng Zhu smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, I just remembered an unimportant story."

"There used to be a little boy who became withdrawn because of the death of his parents. Then one day his teacher suddenly discovered that he was very talented in science and engineering. Under the guidance of that teacher, the little boy gradually walked out of the world alone. Then he naturally became interested in mechanical science. Of course, his academic performance was also very good. After graduation, he wanted to enter a professional school to study, but the tuition was very expensive, which was not affordable for an orphan, so it was placed in front of him at this time. There are three options."

"First, because the little boy's grades are very good, many big companies want to sponsor him to go to school, but the condition is that he must enter the company to work for them after graduation. Second, accepting official funding, he will also directly enter the military after graduation. work. Third, give up your studies.”

"Which option did he choose?" Hiroki asked impatiently.

"Don't worry," Feng Zhu recalled, "Other teachers will definitely recommend the first two items to poor but talented students, but this teacher is different. He didn't recommend any options, but broke them one by one. On the surface, it shows the inner crisis nakedly."

"If you choose the first one, there is a high probability that the little boy will be tied to the company's ship by the company's harsh funding conditions after entering the society. From then on, he can only invent profitable products according to the company's requirements, and loses the right to choose research independently."

"If you choose the second one, the mechanical science that the little boy likes will undoubtedly be put into the battlefield and become a war weapon for pioneering and colonizing other regions, and he will lose his freedom for life."

"The third one has the least risk, it's just that everyone is lost."

Sawada Hiroki: "Why is this... No matter which one you choose, there will be no good ending?"

"Maybe there is, but the possibility is too small."

"Then in the end, which path did the little boy choose?" Hiroki asked.

"He didn't choose any path, but made a naive decision, thinking that he could open up a path with his own strength," Feng Zhu shook his head, and he didn't tell Hongshu the following story in a wicked way, but After changing the subject, he said in a serious tone, "Hiroki, why did you choose to devote yourself to science? Is it to gain recognition from others, is it to gain wealth and status?"

"Huh?" Sawada Hiroki was stunned for a moment, then shook his head quickly, "No, I never thought about doing such a thing."

"What is that for? What is your original intention to study science?"

Hiroki Sawada tried his best to recall: "If I have to say it, it is curiosity. Why the universe is the universe, and how the Internet became the Internet, I want to know."

"Me too." Feng Zhu suddenly smiled, "As expected, I think I can become best friends with you."

"Hiroki, I have always had a dream that one day I can use my own power to return to the starry sky above our heads, so I want to call for helpers, but after meeting you, I think I need to do something. It should be more than calling in helpers."

"I want to give scientists like you and me around the world or young scientists who are growing up a new opportunity to choose, without being trapped in positions, without hurting fellow citizens, without being persecuted because of the knowledge they have, and without worrying about doing anything other than studying science. It will be a sacred place of continuous learning and research just to explore the extreme of science, and it will be the highest temple of knowledge."

"I want to build such an organization, can you help me?" Feng Zhu said solemnly.

Hiroki Sawada seemed frightened by the huge amount of information in Feng Zhu's words, he opened his mouth blankly, his eyes turned into peas: "Huh?"

The author has something to say: "Why did you choose to devote yourself to science? Is it to gain recognition from others, is it to gain wealth and status?" Feng Zhu's science teacher asked him at the beginning.

ps I want to change it again, because the world of Bungo Stray Dogs and Conan’s world merged. For the sake of rationality, the source of Conan’s surname is no longer the writer Edogawa Ranpo, but the Edogawa family, a distant relative of Kudo Yusaku. Conan went to Edogawa's house to play when he was a child. It is true that he had an intersection with Ranpo. At that time, his young mind was greatly shocked, and he has been deeply impressed by the surname Edogawa ever since.

People with supernatural powers are rare. Shinichi knew a little bit because he helped the police handle cases, and Yusaku was more involved. At that time, he tried to adopt Ranpo who lost his parents, but Ranpo had already met the president first. Yusaku thought that Ranpo It is more suitable for Bu to follow the president, who is similar to a different ability, so he gave up adopting Ranpo.

There is also the problem of the protagonist, because he is a visitor from another world, and the level of information confidentiality is very high. Neither the black organization nor the police know the existence of the protagonist.

Well, the patch is complete.
