The Secret of Gin [Conan]

113.

After five days.

The Sapporo Ice Sculpture Festival is about to officially open.

This large-scale recreational activity usually lasts for three months, and the time with the most tourists is usually around Christmas and New Year's Day.

Although the peak season for tourists has not yet arrived, various photos and videos have already been uploaded on TV stations and websites.

The crystal clear ice constitutes a fantastic and beautiful labyrinth.

The central area is Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany. The details of the Gothic spire are perfectly carved, and it is slightly transparent due to the material. Landscape Tree".

The white mist formed by carbon dioxide dry ice filled the air, like flowing clouds on the top of a mountain.

It is already conspicuous during the day, but at night, the various lights inside the ice sculptures start to shine, and the appearance of various buildings inside the maze can be seen clearly from a distance, from the miniature pyramids to the Empire State Building, all shining brightly.

The host of the TV station enthusiastically introduced several characteristic areas of this ice sculpture festival, and repeatedly emphasized that the characteristic of this time is the maze.

In addition to the main road with signs, there are many small roads that will surprise tourists.

One of the longest and most complicated passages is located under the castle. It is said that more than a dozen shadows can be reflected at the same time. It is called the Diamond Path. The organizer also organized an event to let couples and friends enter from both ends of the passage, and they will be full of eyes. They are all the other party - they will also lose their sense of direction, so if you find the "real person" accurately within the specified time, you will be able to win the commemorative prize of the Ice Sculpture Festival.

"Ha ha."

Kudo Shinichi looked at the TV on the wall, and couldn't help thinking of the Kaitou Kidd in the world next door.

If you meet Xiaolan in this kind of place, then you don't have to care about how many problems "Kudo Shinichi" has.

But in the world of science, there is no miraculous disguise technique, and people will not become bigger or smaller.

Kudo Shinichi even asked his neighbor, Dr. A Li, about the possibility of time travel. As a result, Dr. A Li suspected that Kudo Shinichi had watched too many movies, and wondered why Kudo, who had always only read mystery novels, looked like a science fiction category.

Yes, the Dr. Ali in this world has the same bald head, the same fat belly with a smile on his face, and the same inventor.

But he's a serious scientist, and he can't figure out a skateboard that's faster than a car.

Dr. Ali was very interested in the inspiration of tracking glasses and voice changer.

After Kudo Shinichi got the voice changer produced by Dr. Ali in this world, he was completely useless. A total of a few keys can change several voices, which requires database support.

He didn't want to help Mori Kogoro become a detective, so why imitate the voice of an acquaintance?

As for the voices of Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko... are they used for pranks?

The voice of Police Officer Meguro, well, this might be useful.

Anyway, Conan's outrageous voice changer that can be adjusted to the most suitable pronunciation by just turning it casually, even a stranger can perfectly imitate it, is impossible to exist.

"...Speaking of which, it should be Conan who is more powerful."

Kudo Shinichi was talking to himself.

What kind of hearing?

It can actually analyze other people's voice in an instant, and then adjust the voice changer to select the appropriate pronunciation to simulate.Don't talk about absolute pitch, Kudo Shinichi also has this ability, he can't do such an exaggerated thing.

Kudo Shinichi took out his mobile phone to check the text messages, his parents were urging him to return to the United States again.

"Ugh."

Kudo Shinichi slumped his head on the chair, it would be nice if Conan was here.

Conan is a walking luck-boosting talisman that always yields clues by accident.

But look at the current situation here. The Japanese police searched hotels, holiday villas, hot springs, and second-hand rental houses in Sapporo, but did not get any useful information.

Obviously, Gin can think of clues that they can think of.

The police have been forced to start a second round of searches.

This time Jiang Gu Ling set his target in the house near the target of the first search, but the chances of getting clues are very slim. Gin must have cleaned up the traces before evacuating the safe house, so he can only hope to find some sightings of Gin Image people, outline their trajectories.

Kudo remembered that when he was in the world next door, there would always be some unexpected cases, which would lead to the exposure of the hidden gin.

But Sapporo...

How come there are no cases in such a big city?

No no, I can't think like that!Kudo shook his head desperately.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Gu Ling walked in with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, looking tired.

"Well, it's nothing, I just feel that there is a shortage of manpower."

Kudo Shinichi said listlessly, "Why did only the gin and vodka from that world follow? It's unfair and unreasonable. I miss Conan (the magical props) and Mr. Amuro. One more person, the efficiency of solving the case It will also become faster!"

Jiang Guling: "..."

"Also, I just talked to Mr. Akai on the phone, saying that I really want to introduce him to Conan, myself in another world, and I hope to see him cooperate closely with the parallel world's peers...Why? Gin is fine, but we can't? So he hung up on me?"

Kudo Shinichi asked in wonder, "Is the FBI so arrogant?"

Jiang Guling had a weird expression, he hesitated to speak.

Kudo Shinichi said sharply: "No, you have something to hide from me!"

Jiang Guling chose to turn around and leave.

"Hello!"

Kudo Shinichi chased after him and shouted, "I think the venue of this ice sculpture festival is easy to hide people, do you want to check?"

"I've made arrangements, but it's unlikely. The ice sculpture maze sounds complicated, but in order to prevent accidents for tourists, surveillance cameras must be installed in many places. It is impossible for GIN to go to such places."

Jiang Gu Ling's voice suddenly stopped.

He thinks quickly into the organization's mind.

...perfect for installing a ticking time bomb!Ice sculptures are also easier to damage than ordinary buildings. Maybe GIN doesn't like to take this risk and thinks it's unnecessary, but GIN from another world is different.

Crazier, more unscrupulous, and even did the outrageous thing of driving a helicopter to shoot down the Tokyo Tower!

It is true that GIN is very cautious, but what if it is another GIN who convinces him?Especially when they have that relationship again!

Too bad, the Ice Sculpture Festival cannot start!

Tourists cannot enter!

114.

The monitoring room of the Ice Sculpture Festival site.

Hundreds of screens line the walls, only some of which are turned on.

From the monitoring screen, you can see the TV news host and the staff carrying the camera.

They walked excitedly in the mirror maze at the bottom of the ice castle.

There are also the organizers responsible for the promotion of the Ice Sculpture Festival. They also put on decent smiles in front of the camera. One of the managers, who seemed to have a high status, turned around and reprimanded the elderly workers in charge of cleaning the venue.

"What are you looking at?"

Kurosawa kicked the security guard's body aside.

Although the monitor couldn't hear the sound, Kurosawa could read lips, and the management's face happened to be facing the monitor head.

Kurosawa frowned.

This is a reaction to seeing or hearing something annoying.

Kobayashi Tomoya, it is said that he was sent by the investment organizer of the Ice Sculpture Festival. His specific job is to pick and choose, scolding whatever doesn't please his eyes, and he likes to slap his subordinates very much, so he has made countless enemies, and many staff members are angry behind his back curse him.

Kurosawa and Gin decided to use this place as the next battleground with the FBI and Japanese police.

They need to be familiar with the environment here, install bombs, and even tried to blend in with the staff.

Anyway, everyone was wearing thick black thermal clothing and a hat at work, and the workers were all hired temporarily, including many college students and foreigners from the art department, so it was easy to get away with it.

So the gossip about Tomoya Kobayashi flowed into their ears.

No matter where you go, you can hear the name.

Kurosawa also witnessed Tomoya Kobayashi slapping his assistant madly because the coffee brought by the assistant was too hot, but no one at the scene dared to dissuade him.

But Kurosawa is not interested in these shitty things, and he thinks Gin should not be interested either.

"I'm worried that a homicide will happen and Bourbon will be brought in ahead of time."

Qin Jiu pointed at the screen, it was difficult for him to understand this kind of thing, after all, ordinary people with such poor interpersonal relationship, according to Qin Jiu's experience, would die suddenly without any organization.

This is another scene of the ice sculpture festival that is about to explode.

Gin habitually made an unexpected plan, and made preparations for the police to arrive early.

but--

This Kobayashi has never died?

Gin knew that this kind of thinking was a bit outrageous, but he really looked down on the staff here, not a single murderer who took the risk.

What are you afraid of?The police officers in this world are even more useless. There are no detectives yet. They can pretend to be accidents with random arrangements. Even if the people in the police station suspect it, there are too many people who are suspected of killing this bastard. There is always time for the killer to destroy the evidence. .

"Murder case? Is the deceased Tomoya Kobayashi?"

Kurosawa admitted that there is indeed such a possibility, but this is an extremely low probability event.

The kind that doesn't even rank as a backup plan.

However, Kurosawa quickly remembered the various murder news he had seen in the world of Gin, and the information about the members of the organization that he had entered into the organization database with the authority of Gin——

In the world of Kurosawa, members of the organization who died in a normal fight, died in a car accident while chasing with the FBI, and committed suicide by taking poison when their identities were exposed, turned out to be mistakenly killed by a bomber while making a deal, and confessed by a prisoner when they stole a car and retreated during a mission. The owner of the car was killed, and the wrong drink cup was poisoned to death by the murderer while eating in the store, etc. Absurd plots.

"Well, it's good to have a backup plan, but..."

The corner of Kurosawa's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, "In this world, a guy who is hated by many people like this usually won't be killed."

There is no other reason, that is, a good background, a high status, and enough money!

As long as these conditions are met, even if a pig sits in the position of the President of the United States and sprays all day long, everyone can only endure it.

How could ordinary people kill people as soon as they wanted to, and how could an abominable guy die as soon as he said he wanted to?

Gin didn't speak.

Gin was lost in thought.

If all of this was imagined by him, it should be more in line with his "cognition".

If this is an absurd dream, why can he use Kuisawa's mouth to make him feel that this place is more real, and the common sense and cognition in his memory are outrageous?
