The Secret of Gin [Conan]

72.

Didan Elementary School.

It was a dark night without a moon, the shadows of the trees were dancing, and the doors and windows of the teaching building were locked.

Only the communication room at the school gate is a little bright, accompanied by the TV commentary of the baseball game.

— It appears that the guard has finished his regular patrol and is drinking hot tea and watching TV.

A black figure quickly climbed over the wall, and ran across the empty playground under the shade of the trees.

Soi Ying turned on the flashlight and pointed it at the keyhole, then took out the lockpicking tool.

The teaching building of Didan Primary School has a history of more than 20 years. Although the external walls have been repaired and the internal facilities have been replaced several times, the oldest padlock is still on the gate.

The black shadow opened the lock without much effort.

The teaching building was quiet, and the light from the flashlight was not bright. Obviously, the shadow did not want to attract the attention of others.

He was careful not to let the light of the flashlight dangle at the window, but kept shining on the ground, so as to avoid the reflection of the window.

The first grade is on the first floor.

In the room at the end of the corridor, there is a sign of the teaching office.

The black shadow immediately moved over.

An anti-theft door was installed outside the teaching office. This time the lock was a little more complicated, and it took him about 5 minutes.

When the lock was finally opened, Black Shadow couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, revealing two rows of teeth in the darkness.

"Snapped."

The moment the door opened, the light came on.

Before he had time to see the situation in the room clearly, he was thrown to the ground by four or five people.

His arms were twisted behind him, someone pulled off his collar, someone pressed his legs, and someone touched his waist and pockets.

It is impossible to resist in this kind of battle. This ignorant guy wanted to shout, but his mouth was covered.

His face was dazzled by a blinding light.

"It's not the target. Site [-] didn't catch the target."

"Received, location [-] is in operation, and no suspicious vehicles have been found so far."

"Nearby high points were not found."

"Confirm, there are no vehicles that start suddenly, and there are no people running suddenly on the street."

There was a call from the walkie-talkie, mixed with the sound of electric current.

"...Silence!"

Someone is calling the shots.

The guy who sneaked into Didan Primary School was finally let go, and all his belongings were intact, even his pockets were torn.

Now he is barefoot, his coat is gone, and his shirt is all unbuttoned.

He sat on the ground blankly, enduring the tears stimulated by the strong light, squinting his eyes to watch the blond-haired, dark-skinned man put away the wooden bin, and picked up a small object from his coat.

"Bug?" the hapless man exclaimed.

The blond man didn't even look at him, and smashed the bug directly.

"Close the team."

73.

"These cunning Japanese policemen."

Saburo Uozuka took off the headset, shook his head, and dialed the phone.

"Brother, I'm sorry, the detective I hired was caught by the police at Didan Elementary School."

"Hmph, I expected it... Where are you?"

"Don't worry, brother, I'm three streets away."

"Idiot, the bug has a range of effect, get out of here now, don't bring your tail back. Don't worry about it, don't go and find a second detective on your own."

"Yes."

Hanging up the phone, Uozuka Saburo sighed, it seems that this car is no longer available.

He, who used to be a member of the organization code-named Vodka, the most recent itinerary is to find a private detective, get information for the final payment, kill the private detective, abandon the car, steal the car, and then find a private detective...

Let's just say that today, the car was stolen three times.

License plates were also stolen four times.

In order to prevent Kurosawa Kazukura from collapsing himself and save Kurosawa a bullet, Saburo Uozuka felt that he had worked very hard.

***

In a dark room, only the computer screen is shining.

The student |student information of Didan Primary School is not recorded on the Internet. If you want to check it, the most direct way is to steal the student roster, which is also the easiest thing to think of.

Because the member of the organization, Ireland, sneaked into Tedan Elementary School and found Conan's fingerprints and Kudo Shinichi, so when the identity crisis broke out, Conan immediately thought of setting up an ambush at Teidan Elementary School.

At the same time, he and Kudo Shinichi squatted in front of the computer, searching for information on the Internet, and deleted all the information that could be deleted by themselves, and copied the address and sent it to Kazami Yuya, and asked the information department of the public security police to delete it for him.

"The elementary school student made a great contribution and saved the gem from Kidd, tsk... and this one, Kidd's nemesis, hey, how familiar are you with that thief?"

"Not very familiar." Conan's eyes were empty, "I just don't know why, but I always meet him."

"This one," the department store hijacking incident, the boy detective team... oh, your name has even been published in the newspaper!Check out this group photo! "

"There is no Huiyuan here, and she hadn't escaped from the organization at that time."

"The 1200 million hostage incident, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was shocked, and the person who dismantled the bomb turned out to be a child... News and TV interviews, isn't it too exaggerated?"

Kudo Shinichi looked at Conan in shock. If he had such outstanding achievements in his own world, not to mention the whole of Japan, the whole world would know that he is a high school student detective!

As a result, this blockbuster news didn't seem to cause much splash in the world.

Everyone is used to the stories of the police and detectives discovering and dismantling bombs every day.

"This news interview is a little troublesome, too many reprints." Conan frowned and watched himself play dumb on TV.

Kudo Shinichi had to ask: "Are you sure Haibara Ai hasn't been on TV or in newspapers?"

"I'm sure, but the group photos of Didan Elementary School, photos of spring outings, photos of extracurricular activities... these are likely to be posted on social networking platforms, especially recently, many parents like to use their mobile phones to take pictures of their children, maybe accidentally I took the picture of Huiyuan as the background of the campus gate." Conan said anxiously.

Kudo Shinichi looked strange.

"recent?"

Haven't smartphones been popular for several years?

"Yeah, what?" Conan looked at him inexplicably.

Kudo Shinichi wiped his face, and then said: "It's nothing, do you have a social network account? Give me your account, and I will search along the friends, picture wall and relationship network."

Conan has no objection.

Kudo Shinichi fell into deep confusion.

All accounts were registered within half a year, and all accounts have a hidden area that cannot be seen through normal means. There is no confidentiality in the hidden area, only pictures and text.

This online social platform has only been registered for eight months, but these hidden pictures seem to span time, from spring to winter, there are all kinds of scenery and dates.

Could it be that the account owner is posting old pictures from before?

But the accompanying text is that the photos taken by the new mobile phone are very clear, I like it very much, I am very happy on vacation in Hokkaido.

Kudo Shinichi followed Mao Lilan's account, and he found that there were not only skiing pictures, but also diving pictures, and sightseeing photos in Singapore and the United Kingdom.

The travel track also includes Kyoto school trip, Osaka tour, Izu beach, Gunma County scenery and so on.

Let’s just talk about the summer fireworks festival. There are ten pictures in different yukatas, taken with Sonoko Suzuki and Conan at different locations and at different times.

Kudo Shinichi swears that he has seen three "July [-]th" photos.

It is impossible for Mao Lilan to appear in Kyoto, Osaka, and Tokyo on the same day.

It is definitely not an old photo, because Kudo Shinichi remembers the change of Mao Lilan's appearance every year, this is the 17-year-old Mao Lilan!

"...I have a question, how many days do you have in a year?" Kudo Shinichi asked Conan bravely.

"Of course it is 365 days."

Conan looked at Shinichi Kudo incomprehensibly, as if he had asked an outrageous question.

"That--"

At this moment the door was knocked twice.

Standing at the door, Jiang Guling said to the two detectives, one big and one small, in the room: "Didan Primary School caught a private detective, and a bug was installed on him. The structure and manufacturing method of this bug is organized. Yes, so the worst has happened, the two gins must have met and exchanged information and supplies."

Conan asked anxiously, "What did that private detective say?"

"The person who entrusted him may be vodka. He was taken back to the police station. You can go to Amuro Toru!" Fuguya Ling stepped aside.

Conan ran away quickly, Furutani Rei met Kudo Shinichi's eyes, and closed the door with his backhand.

"Have you found it?"

"Uh."

Kudo Shinichi felt that Rei Futani was worthy of being an excellent agent who had been undercover for several years and hadn't been exposed. Look at the atmosphere, it's like killing people to kill people, and the deterrence is terrible.

"Time in this world has stopped."

Furutani Rei didn't know what Kudo Shinichi was thinking, he pulled out his chair and sat next to the computer, the light from the screen shone in his gray eyes, showing a peculiar gleam.

He turned his head and said to the shocked Kudo Shinichi, "I don't know what's going on, but they've been looping over and over for a year, and no one can see it."

Kudo Shin opened his mouth and found his voice after a long time: "What's the reason?"

"I don't know, I looked through the case files and know that the date is repeating, but it is not fixed." Rei Furutani looked at Kudo Shinichi and said, "Can you imagine that today is summer, and tomorrow may be Christmas. "

Kudo Shinichi murmured in shock: "But these days we have been here, everything is normal, and the days are passing day by day!" He tried his best to recall, from news reports to the food tasting period in convenience stores, there was no problem .

Everyone's reactions were also normal, and even the news pushed by the Internet came according to the "normal" timeline.

There is absolutely no TV host looking at a photo of cherry blossoms in spring and saying that this is a murder that happened in a park a few days ago.Internet searches will be screened by search engines, and online social platforms also have a perfect timeline push.

In other words, if you just swipe your phone to read some news and don't crack the hidden areas of the website, it will be difficult to find any problems.

Kudo Shinichi hugged his head, he hesitated and asked: "Then we... pretend we didn't find out?"

"I suggest doing this." Fugu Rei replied, "I tried Kazami seven times, and I even talked to Amuro Toru, but none of them noticed this problem, and even if they thought it was wrong, they would quickly forget what I said. I feel that all abnormalities in this world revolve around the case, and have a lot to do with you in this world."

Kudo Shinichi pointed to his nose, and he reacted quickly.

"No, it should be related to the organization, whether it's getting smaller or the secret of immortality researched by the organization, the Witch with Thousand Faces...Damn it, do we have to destroy the organization if we want to restore the world to normal?"

Kudo Shinichi doubted life at first, he just wanted to see Xiaolan and go to university with Xiaolan, so he sneaked back to Japan, but he went to another world as soon as he got off the plane.

Forget it, but actually want to save this time-stopped world?

Why did he feel like he wasn't awake?

"Oh no!"

Conan pushed open the door suddenly, and said anxiously, "Ms. Ikeda reported to the police that her home was stolen, and she lost all her photo albums except her belongings. She is a music teacher who has just joined Class B of our first grade for a month. We were careless, fish Tsukazaburo hired a private detective to go to Teidan Elementary School is just a cover!"

74.

The bar at the end of the alley.

Except for the light at the bar, the other tables are in darkness.

There is no sign that the bar is open.

"Brother, I found this envelope in the roadside mailbox mentioned in the text message. It contains a group of pictures of little ghosts."

Vodka spread out the contents of his pockets on the bar.

Gin put down his glass and fiddled with the photo with his black gloved left hand.

Suddenly, the movement stopped.

Gin picked up one of the photos, which showed a dozen children rehearsing a chorus in a classroom. The girl standing on the far left had brown hair and eyes of mixed race.

"...I really don't know what they are doing over there." Vodka complained in a low voice.

"Sherry."

Gin's eyes were like those of a beast that wandered the wilderness all night and finally found its prey at dawn.

Vodka shivered directly.

"Big brother?"

He raised his head and saw that there were only a group of children in the photo.

No, this child's hair color, eye color, and appearance are very similar to Shirley.

"I really didn't expect Shirley to have a child." Vodka blurted out.

Gin looked at the vodka with idiot eyes.

"Uh, it seems wrong. Shirley is not yet 20 years old this year. Could this be her relative?" Vodka said excitedly, "Shirley must be hiding in this family, that's right, this is the clue they provided, let big brother Catch the fleeing Shirley."

The BOSS will be very happy. A researcher of Shirley's level has mastered too many secrets and cannot fall into the hands of other forces.

"Idiot, this is Shirley."

Gin held up the photo and said sullenly, "I won't admit my mistake."

Children from relatives, no matter how similar they look, will not have Shirley's expression, and this feeling of being out of place with the children around...

Shirley grew up in the organization.

"Tell the intelligence community that I want all of Shirley's information, especially the photos."

"Big brother..."

Vodka tried to persuade Gin to calm down. After all, how could Shirley become a child?

However, Gin Jiu had already fallen into memory, and his face became more and more ugly.

As Kurosawa said before, the children around Mori Kogoro, strange children...

That's right!

Once in Nishitama City, when he was closest to Shirley's whereabouts, he used a sniper to shoot at the wooden warehouse, but he didn't find Shirley in the exploding twin skyscrapers.

He considered the possibility of Shirley in disguise.

Men, women, old people...

He had carefully identified them all, and there was only one kind of person that Gin would not suspect, and that was children.
