The Grammatical Investigator in Conan
Chapter 1468 Latest news about Rum
Originally, the safe deposit box business of this bank was not expensive. At the beginning, Akai Wuwu signed a 5-year contract in one go.
However, because Akai Wuwu owed fees for 12 years, plus late payment fees, the accumulated amount has exceeded three times the original amount.
Qin Zhibo had no choice but to make up for these fees by bleeding his wallet.
At the beginning, Akai Wuwu considered that he might encounter an unexpected situation or even die, which would make it impossible to take out the things inside in person.
Therefore, the safe deposit box does not simply use the traditional key or fingerprint unlocking mode, but also designates a person to open the box.
Only when the designated person is present and identity verification is carried out can the safe deposit box be opened.
The person designated by Akai Wuwu is himself or his wife Akai Mary.
In addition, the key obtained after the safe deposit box was handled was immediately disposed of after Akai Wuwu left the bank, so Qin Zhibo paid an additional $300 for the box breaking fee.
After all the procedures were completed, the bank staff broke the safe deposit box in front of the two.
This so-called "safe deposit box" is not big, it is actually a rectangular box 25cm long.
Inside the broken box, there was a palm-sized brown paper bag.
Akai Wuwu opened the paper bag, glanced at the contents inside, and then nodded to Qin Zhibo.
Photos, got it!
The two quickly returned to the hotel with the photos, drew the curtains, and studied the contents of the photos one by one.
Most of the photos were scientists who were doing research, wearing white coats.
In addition, there were some people wearing tight black clothes doing various physical tests in a wide field.
Akai Wuwu pointed at the people in the photos and said, "They are those "monster"-like humans. Their physical fitness in the laboratory state has far exceeded the limit of world-class athletes."
In the photos, some of these black-clad people jumped more than 2 meters from the spot, and some had a fist strength test of more than 700 pounds.
If these people were put outside, they would all easily break a world record.
During Akai Wuwu's search on the ship, there were many such "monster" new humans, at least more than 20 people were found.
Combined with the information revealed by Curacao, Qin Zhibo determined that the photo was taken of the "New Potential Laboratory" 17 years ago.
The laboratory is dedicated to cultivating new humans.
But Curacao also said that although the target can often obtain super physical strength, most of them are unstable and incomplete, and have no practical value for the organization.
If combined with this photo, the organization probably adopts a method of raising Gu to select the best talents from these "monsters".
Like Curacao, it should be the "perfect agent" finally selected. Whether it is mental or physical strength, it is the top existence of human beings.
And losers like Shiichiro Numabuchi can only become consumables for other experiments.
Although from the perspective of ordinary people, Shiichiro Numabuchi is not perfect, but it should be a killer among the grassroots members of the organization.
But the purpose of this experiment is to select the most perfect agent. If there is no cruel elimination mechanism, then all the selection will not have much meaning.
Some people may have the idea of slacking off and directly mix into the grassroots members as a "salary thief".
For them, being able to survive is the greatest gift.
Speaking of which, the motivation for organizational cadres should not be based on salary, five social insurances and one housing fund, right?
"Most of these people used for experiments have probably been eliminated..."
"But there should still be a lot of these scientists now."
After all, these scientists are precious treasures that the organization has spent a lot of effort to recruit from all over the world or cultivate personally.
So, science is the primary productive force.
Qin Zhibo browsed through the photos one by one, and saw a familiar face at the edge of one of the photos.
It was an operating table, and a man in a black tights was receiving an injection of some green liquid.
On the other side of the operating table, a female scientist wearing glasses was holding a form in her hand and was looking down to record something.
Qin Zhibo squinted slightly, and the more he looked, the more familiar he felt.
Isn't this Elena Miyano?
Akai Wuwu also noticed the change in Qin Zhibo's eyes, stared at the photo, and asked: "What? Do you know the person in the photo?"
"Yeah."
Qin Zhibo nodded and raised his hand to point at the woman with glasses in the photo.
"This person is called Miyano Elena, but before she got married, her name was Sera Elena."
"Sera..."
Akai Wuwu narrowed his eyes slightly, and recalled his wife's previous surname in his mind.
"I remember, Elena seems to be Mary's sister, right?"
"Mary occasionally mentioned her sister to me. I heard that she left the UK with a Japanese student when she was in college, and she rarely contacted her family afterwards."
"I didn't expect that she was in the organization?"
Akai Wuwu's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
Qin Zhibo did not explain in detail. Akai Wuwu could find out about these things after he returned to Mary.
Buzz——
Just then, Qin Zhibo's phone rang.
He looked at the caller ID and found it was an unknown number.
But after picking up the phone, he found that it was Amuro Toru who called.
Qin Zhibo had asked Bourbon and Gil to inquire about Haibara Ai's situation within the organization before, and it was estimated that there was a clue.
But when Qin Zhibo asked, Toru Amuro gave a negative answer.
"That's not the case..."
"It's Curacao. She suddenly contacted me and sent me the latest information."
"The organization's second-in-command, Rum, seems to have fallen..."
Qin Zhibo looked slightly startled and repeated in disbelief.
“Rum is down?”
"What exactly does this mean?"
Toru Amuro on the other side also had a shocked expression, because he had just received the information from Curacao.
"I don't know the specific situation, but Curacao said that someone within the organization is currently taking over Rum's sphere of influence."
"And Rum himself seems to have disappeared..."
Rum disappears?
Is this a smoke bomb released by the organization?
Qin Zhibo thought for two seconds and thought it was impossible.
Because such smoke bombs seem to have no impact on the red side except for causing instability within the organization.
If that's the case, there's probably something big going on within the organization.
Does this have something to do with Haihara Ai being arrested?
"I know, I will rush back to Japan as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhibo and Akai Muwu looked at each other.
"Are we going to Japan immediately?" Akai Mutake asked.
Qin Zhibo nodded in confirmation.
He had a bad feeling in his heart.
Because Rum's downfall, or loss of power, must be related to major decisions within the organization.
In other words, the reason why the second-in-command of the organization, who has been working hard for many years, can be brought down so easily is at least the intention of the organization boss Karasuma Renya.
And Rum was "pulled out of his feathers". A person of this level would definitely not just surrender.
Maybe he will do something crazy...
…
In Japan, on the road to Gunma Prefecture, a white Toyota Crown was passing by.
In the passenger seat of the car, Mao Lilan yawned, drooped his eyelids, and looked listless.
Mouri Kogoro, who was driving next to him, glanced at his daughter and lectured somewhat unhappily.
"Hey, hey, I saw that you were idle and had nothing to do even though you were on summer vacation, so I brought you out for a ride."
"Are you actually yawning?"
Mao Lilan's tone did not give in at all, and she accused Mao Li Kogoro.
"Don't you blame dad for borrowing that horrible DVD that kept people awake until morning?"
"Then what can I do?"
Mouri Kogoro glanced at his daughter and complained: "That is a low-cost C-level horror movie. Miss Okino Yoko obviously participated in the film, but the TV station did not broadcast it..."
Obviously, Kogoro Mouri was angry at the TV station's decision.
Conan, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at Kogoro Mouri in the front seat and grinned helplessly.
This perverted uncle...
It was obviously because the clothes worn by Okino Yoko in that movie had less fabric area, so I rented the tape to watch it.
Just yesterday, the Mori family watched the movie "Zombie Blade: Dinner of the Dead" starring Yoko Okino.
From the title and the cast, we know that this is a low-cost plasma film with the gimmick of Girls vs. Zombies.
But even so, when watching the movie last night, Mao Lilan was so scared that she held Conan tightly in her arms.
Today, Mouri Kogoro, who felt that staying in the office was boring, took the initiative to visit the holy land of the scene in the movie.
Originally, Mao Lilan rejected this proposal.
But he couldn't stand it anymore and Conan clamored to go see it, so he reluctantly agreed.
Of course, Conan actually had little interest in the place where low-budget movies were shot.
It's just that the recent revenge of the organization may come at any time. If the Maori father and daughter stay in the office all the time, it will be too easy for the organization to take action.
And this time the destination is a villa in the mountains of Gunma County, so it is unlikely that the organization will follow it all the way.
Thinking of this, Conan glanced back behind the car to confirm that there was no vehicle following behind.
…
The car drove for another half an hour until it stopped in front of a decent-looking villa.
"Wow! Finally here!"
As soon as Mouri Kogoro got out of the car, he screamed excitedly and ran to the stairs in front of the villa to visit.
He even took out his cell phone and took pictures everywhere in excitement.
"This is the door where Miss Yoko spits out blood!"
"That's the window through which Miss Yoko kicks the zombies out!"
“There are treasures everywhere!”
This left Conan standing behind a little speechless.
Isn't this just a rental villa that can be seen everywhere?
Usually, if you pick a villa in the mountains where a murder occurred, it would look more story-telling than here, right?
At this moment, Mao Lilan on the side clamped her legs slightly, clasped her hands nervously in front of her chest, and looked around.
"Conan, it feels like there are really zombies appearing in the forest in this area..."
"It's so eerie..."
In the past, Conan would have confidently comforted Mao Lilan by saying, "Zombies do not exist."
But now...
"Don't worry, there won't be any zombies~"
Conan still faced Mao Lilan with a smile and comforted her.
Until now, Conan has truly understood that "not all truths are worth telling."
"I heard there are really zombies here~"
At this moment, a voice with a strange accent sounded from behind.
Conan frowned, wondering in his mind which ignorant guy was interrupting me to coax my girlfriend?
When he looked back, he saw a dark face smiling playfully at him.
"Is it Hattori?"
"And Kazuha?"
Mao Lilan looked at Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, each holding a motorcycle helmet, and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Why are you here?"
"us……"
Before Hattori Heiji could explain, Mouri Kogoro, who had just finished taking photos outside the villa, came back with a smile and said decisively: "You must be like me and come here to visit the holy land~"
"That's not true, Pig Head."
Hattori Heiji spoke with an Osaka accent and mocked Kogoro Mouri, but the latter still held his head high and didn't seem to care at all.
At this time, Yuan Shan and Ye opened their mouth to relieve their embarrassment, "But, it also has something to do with the Holy Land Tour~"
Afterwards, the two explained why they came here.
It turned out that there was a couple who came here before to visit the same holy land. When they were returning from visiting the villa, something suddenly rushed in front of their car and they were run over.
"At first they thought it was an animal, so they got out of the car to confirm, but when they opened the door, they smelled a smell like rotting meat..."
"So they looked under the car and there crawled out a zombie wearing tattered clothes and with a broken neck bone!"
Yuan Shan and Ye's explanations were so emotional that Mao Lilan was so frightened that she gritted her teeth.
"Eh-!"
Conan frowned slightly, his eyes a little more serious.
Mouri Kogoro put his hands in his pockets and asked unmoved: "So? What happened next?"
"After that, the idiot couple didn't look back, drove away in a car, and told Officer Otaki about the incident."
"Then Officer Otaki told me what happened again, so here we are."
Hattori Heiji took over the conversation skillfully, completed the story, and then bent down to look at Conan.
"But I think this is probably some idiot pulling a silly prank~"
"What do you think? Conan?"
Faced with Hattori Heiji's meaningful question and the smirk on his lips, Conan could see that he was still concerned about what happened at the Vampire Mansion last time.
Although he and Qin Zhibo solved the case that time, they did not tell him the truth. This matter is probably still bottled up in his heart.
At this moment, Mao Lilan, who had been repeating "Go back" next to him, finally couldn't help shouting.
"Don't stay in this place anymore!"
Mouri Kogoro immediately retorted, "What? Didn't we just get here?"
"And the story of "Zombie Sword: Dinner of the Dead" is not completely over yet. If a sequel is filmed, this rental villa may be used again..."
“But it’s still unknown whether we will shoot again~”
As soon as Mouri Kogoro finished speaking, a van drove up behind him.
The window of the van was lowered, and a bearded man wearing a peaked cap sat in the car and said with a smile.
"A sequel will be made..."
