"Well……"

"Where is...where?"

Baima Tan, who had just woken up, opened his eyelids slightly and asked feebly.

Masumi Sera wiped away tears as she answered: "It's St. Thomas' Hospital in London."

"oh……"

Baima Tan's eyes relaxed slightly, then he looked at the tearful Seriang and asked again: "Then why are you crying?"

"Because you almost died!"

Sera yelled at Hakuba Tan, letting out all the pressure accumulated in his heart.

For more than a day, she prayed in her heart that Tan Baima would survive.

Because Detective White Horse was shot to save himself, if he died, it would be as if he had killed him with his own hands.

This feeling is so heavy that just carrying it for a day makes me feel out of breath.

"But am I okay?"

A pale smile appeared on Bai Ma Tan's pale face, "It seems I'm lucky, ahem..."

Since Baima Tan had surgery on his chest, he still can't speak very smoothly.

Seeing this, Sera Masumi quickly comforted him, "You just woke up, don't talk so much yet!"

Baima Tan smiled slightly and did not answer. Instead, he turned his eyes and saw Qin Zhibo standing not far away.

When he saw Qin Zhibo for the first time, his eyes were a little surprised.

This is England, how did he get the news?

At this time, Qin Zhibo also guessed what he was thinking through the eyes of the white horse detective, took a step forward, and took the initiative to introduce.

"I was in London before anything happened to you..."

"I heard that you are investigating the matter at Dusk Annex?"

As one of the witnesses of the Dusk Villa incident, Qin Zhibo has the right to ask questions on this matter.

Just as Bai Ma Tan was about to answer, Qin Zhibo said: "It's not convenient for you to open your mouth now, just nod and shake your head..."

Hearing this, Baima Tan nodded slightly.

"Did you find any clues?"

"Is it about the owner of Dusk Villa?"

Detective Bai Ma nodded again, and then said: "The clues are in my coat..."

When Sera heard this, although he didn't know what the two were talking about, he still went to the locker in the corner of the room and took out the Hakuba Tan jacket that was placed inside.

On the back of the coat, there was a circle of blood stains that had turned into black.

Qin Zhibo turned his hand through the inner pocket of his coat and found two pieces of paper.

When I took it out and looked at it, I found that they were an old photo and a piece of letter paper.

The old photo is of a handsome mixed-race man and an Oriental woman. Judging from the ages of the two in the photo, they should have a mother-son relationship.

On the back of the photo, it is written: Son Spencer Renye and mother Sera, photo taken on July 4, 1870.

Spencer Lianye?

Sera?

Mother and son?

For a time, a huge amount of information exploded in Qin Zhibo's mind.

Spencer Renye should be Karasuma Renye’s original name.

Spencer...is that the surname of that British noble?

And Karasuma Renya’s mother’s surname is actually Sera?

Is it the "Sera" of Masumi Sera and Mari Akai?

Qin Zhibo knew that before Akai Mari married Akai Mutake, her family name was Sera.

Sera Masumi inherited Akai Mari’s original surname.

At the same time, Masumi Sera and Mari Akai, who were standing nearby, also saw a line of small words on the photo.

Seeing the surname "Shiliang", Mary's pupils dilated slightly and her eyes were a little weird.

Sera Masumi's attention did not immediately focus on "Sera" at the back, but saw the surname "Spencer".

As a half-Londoner who has been in the UK for three years, she is very aware of the weight of this surname in the UK.

"This Spencer...is he that famous noble?" Sera Masaki murmured.

Detective Bai Ma nodded slightly, "It should be, I saw Spencer's family crest in the manor..."

After hearing what Detective Bai Ma said, Qin Zhibo's eyes changed slightly as he stared at the old photo.

He had long known that Renye Karasuma was from a certain British aristocratic family, but he didn't know which one specifically.

In comparison, this "Shiliang" is even stranger...

Qin Zhibo handed the old photo to Mary, then took the letter in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Compared with the old photo, most of this stationery is blurred by stains caused by moisture, and only a few fragments of information can be provided.

Dear Mr. Xia Gai:

…Setting down in Japan…

…Moving the temple to Japan…

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and figured out the meaning of the letter.

The temple should refer to the Dusk Annex.

Mr. Xia Gai is the Xia Gai Zerg who has cooperated with Karasuma Renye.

Qin Zhibo had seen in the diary in the basement of the Twilight Villa before that the Xia Gai Zerg that had just arrived on the earth were always disturbed by humans and did not have a habitat of their own.

It was Karasuma Renye who found the Xagai Zerg tribe and promised it a habitat that would not be disturbed by humans, on the condition that Karasuma Renye's father be killed.

After his father's death, Karasuma Renye inherited a fief and gave it to the Xagai Zerg.

Later, Karasuma Renye built a dusk villa for the Xagai Zerg tribe to cover up people's eyes and ears.

This letter should be a letter written by Renya Karasuma to the Xagai Zerg, asking the Xiagai Zerg to move the Dusk Annex (temple) to Japan.

Although the specific time of the move was not written on the letter, it is guessed that it was during the Meiji Restoration.

During that period, Japan was learning a lot of advanced Western ideas. As a British aristocrat, Renya Karasuma was easily accepted.

The name Karasuma Renya most likely came into existence during that period...

In the ward, Qin Zhibo held the letter and Mary held the photo, both thoughtful.

At this moment, the phone suddenly rang in the ward.

Everyone looked down at their phones at the same time, and after looking around, they realized that the ringing phone was the phone in Bai Ma Tan's coat.

Qin Zhibo took out Baima Tan's mobile phone from his pocket and brought it to Baima Tan's eyes.

The latter glanced at the caller's number and said, "It's the call from the research institute. Please answer it for me..."

Qin Zhibo pressed answer and speakerphone, and placed the phone where everyone could hear it.

The caller turned out to be a researcher from the White Horse Research Institute. He had previously been ordered by the White Horse Detective to investigate the British aristocrats who had traveled across the ocean to Japan during the Restoration period.

After explaining his identity and the situation here to the person on the other side of the phone, the researcher over there introduced him in a straightforward manner.

"At that time, in order to learn from the advanced experience of the West, Emperor Meiji made many friends with Westerners, most of whom were nobles and capitalists..."

Qin Zhibo skipped the lengthy opening remarks and asked directly: "Is there anyone here from the Spencer family in England?"

"Hmm..." the researcher groaned, "Yes."

"What's your name?" Qin Zhibo asked quickly.

"Call...no name."

"no name?"

"Yes."

The researcher responded, "According to the "Meiji Clan Record", after coming to Japan, this person from the British Spencer family quickly took root in Japan and established a new family."

"This new family is named exactly after the Japanese surname, called 'Black Feather', which means the black feathers that protect the crow's body."

"However, the clan leader's surname is not 'Black Feather', but 'Karasuma', which refers to the noble crow..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhibo and Baima Tan's pupils trembled, and the shock in their eyes was not concealed at all.

As people who know both Karasuma Renya and Kuroba's surnames, both of them know what this means.

Hakuba figured out why he had been investigating the Karasuma family before, but could never find any clues.

It's because I have completely mistaken the direction of the investigation!

Karasuma does not represent a family at all, but the patriarch of a family!

And the surname Black Feather, could it be that Black Feather?

The figure of that person could not help but appear in Bai Ma Tan's mind.

At this time, Qin Zhibo, who realized that something was going wrong, quickly asked, "What happened next? How is the family?"

The researcher continued: "Later on, the family grew stronger and stronger, and descendants extended surnames such as 'Kuroiwa', 'Kurosaka', and 'Kurosawa' on the basis of 'Kuroba'."

Kurosawa?

Qin Zhibo suddenly remembered that Gin's real name was Kurosawa Formation.

In other words, these situations are very likely to be true...

The origin of Kuroba's surname is Karasuma Ren?

No, it could just be a coincidence.

After all, Kuroba is not a very uncommon surname in Japan, and it certainly does not all come from this.

Qin Zhibo could only convince himself in this way.

But the more you convince yourself in this way, the easier it is to form a psychological hint in your heart and you have to pay attention to it.

Once the surname Kuroba comes from Karasuma Renye, then Kuroba Toichi, Kuroba Kaito...

Even Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Shinichi are both of Kuroba's blood, but they just changed their surnames later.

And not only Kuroba, but also Sera...

Damn it!

Is there any way to confirm whether this is true?

Suddenly, Qin Zhibo had an idea and thought of a way.

He quickly asked Mary, who was also thinking blankly next to him: "Where is Noah's Ark?"

"Noah's Ark..." Mary responded, "I put it in the car."

"Get it right away, I need it urgently!"

Seeing Qin Zhibo's serious expression, Mary did not dare to delay and walked out of the ward quickly.

After a while, she brought back the computer and USB flash drive.

Qin Zhibo turned on the computer, and an artificial intelligence AI in the image of Hiroki Sawada popped up on the computer desktop.

"Hiroki, you remember that you developed a DNA tracking system before, right?"

Sawada Hiroki nodded, "Yes."

"Can you still use that system now?"

The current Sawada Hiroki is the result of lightweight code, and many unnecessary functions have been deleted.

However, after thinking for a second, Sawada Hiroki still nodded, "It's okay..."

Qin Zhibo: "How to use it?"

Hiroki Sawada: "As long as the DNA data is sent to me, I can perform DNA tracking. Even if it spans hundreds of years, I can track the target's ancestors."

"Conversely, the DNA of their descendants can also be inferred from the blood of their ancestors."

Hiroki Sawada's words made Mari and Masumi Sera look shocked.

After getting along with each other for the past few days, the mother and daughter have already felt that this AI's ability in data analysis is at least a thousand times better than humans.

But they didn't expect that AI could actually track human DNA.

However, Sawada Hiroki is not bragging.

He developed a DNA tracking system during his lifetime. By chance, he obtained a blood sample from Jack the Ripper and traced that Jack's descendant was his adoptive father Schindler, which led to his murder.

"I don't have to go through the trouble of tracing my ancestors. I only need to compare the DNA of two people..."

Half an hour later, Qin Zhibo appeared at the private hospital where Conan had stayed.

After explaining the situation to the doctor whom Kudo Yusaku knew, Qin Zhibo successfully obtained Conan's blood sample.

In order to develop an antidote as soon as possible, Kudo Yusaku asked the doctor to save some blood samples while Conan was injured this time.

After getting the blood sample, Qin Zhibo returned to St. Thomas Hospital.

And Mary here has also drawn blood.

Under the arrangement of the hospital doctor, their blood samples were sent for DNA testing.

After getting the DNA test report, Qin Zhibo first analyzed it with his naked eyes.

Judging from the paper test report, the identities of the two are not related, and there is no possibility of any relationship.

Mary on the side also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the contents of the report.

She had just learned the reason for conducting this test from Qin Zhibo.

Assuming that the boss of the black organization, Renya Karasuma, has a mother named Sera and a descendant named Kuroba, then the offspring of the two must be related in DNA.

Now, paper reports from the hospital have ruled out this possibility.

Next, let’s look at the so-called “DNA tracking system”.

When Qin Zhibo "fed" the data from the two DNA reports to Noah's Ark, the little figure of Hiroki Sawada on the table entered a state of thinking with his eyes closed.

Qin Zhibo and Mary were also sitting in front of the computer respectively, waiting with serious faces.

At this moment, time was stretched infinitely in the hearts of the two of them.

They are like candidates waiting for college entrance examination scores to be released, staring at the screen motionless.

Especially Qin Zhibo, he didn't even dare to think about what it would mean if it was true.

Renya Karasuma is the common ancestor of Sera and Kuroba...

Although Qin Zhibo doesn't believe that Conan or Mary and others are "black", if this was within Karasuma Renye's plan from the beginning, it would be very scary.

With Renya Karasuma's ability, she might have some bloodline control ability...

For example, Mary's sister, Elena, is now a member of the organization.

Could this be because...

Qin Zhibo was a little afraid to continue thinking about it.

All the answers can only be left to Sawada Hiroki to reveal.

The wait this time was very long, both in terms of the level of inner suffering and the reality.

After waiting for 15 minutes, until the computer keyboard became hot to the touch, Sawada Hiroki slowly opened his eyes.

"The results are out..."

"According to the results of the DNA tracking system, the probability that these two blood samples have a common ancestor is..."

"84.7%."

"That is, there is a high probability that they have the same ancestor."
