Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 621 Coincidence
"An explosion occurred at Interpol's headquarters in Germany, Europe, and a police officer is missing."

Sitting in the hotel room reading the news, Conan, who was very sensitive to the bombing, frowned and kept scrolling down the photos on his phone until he stopped at the last picture.

"This is!"

The last picture was not a photo, but a screenshot from a live news broadcast. The Interpol headquarters in the picture had become a wasteland, and there were many people standing around watching the excitement. What made Conan nervous was that there was a corner of a black coat in the lower right corner of the picture, and on the corner was a familiar silver hair. Although only the back half of the body was shown, the elementary school student recognized who this person was at a glance.

"Gin!"

When searching for the news video on his mobile phone, he found that there was no trace of it left. It was as if the news had never existed. Conan climbed down from the sofa, turned on the computer in the room, and remotely called Hiroki.

"Conan?"

On the cruise ship heading to Hachijo Island, Hiroki, who had already put on his suit, moved a little further away from the railing and put his cell phone to his ear.

"what happened?"

"Where are you now? Have you boarded the ship that came here?"

"Well, Dr. Agasa and Auntie are recreating the classic look at the bow, but the doctor's belly is too big, so he can't hug Auntie at all."

The image of the Doctor's version of Jack appeared in Conan's mind, and he shook his head and quickly forgot about him.

"I want to use the hotel's computer to check something across the border. Can you help me finish it remotely?"

Opening the search engine, Conan's hands hovered over the keyboard, quietly waiting for the boy opposite to reply. If Hiroki said no, or it was not convenient now, he would wait until the other party got off the boat. He was no longer the reckless boy.

"The hotel on Hachijo Island seems to be equipped with a powerful remote network protection system. Although it is not impossible to hack into it, I can see that all the computers here are being monitored by the central server."

The boy’s meaning was very clear, Conan had better not use the hotel computer to check things.

"But I can reverse the URL and cover it up. I just need to convert the data three times on the virtual network address, and finally it can be disguised as an unrelated web page."

“Is there a risk of exposure?”

"Have."

After hesitating, Conan asked again: "Do you have anything that can block the terminal information?"

"You actually thought of this!"

Hiroki looked at the phone in surprise, as if he could see Conan's cautious look from the two-word note about the god of death.

"I just searched for the original video of that news on my phone, but now I can't find it at all. I suspect that someone from the organization took the initiative and disposed of the video."

"You're right."

Conan leaned back and said, "If we keep searching, we'll be in danger of being exposed. If you have a device that can block terminal information, lend me your phone to search after we land on the island."

Back in the room on the ship, Hiroki sat on the sofa and crossed his legs. "Although Hachijo Island was built by the Suzuki Group, I heard from Mr. Jiroyoshi that the real estate development on the island was funded by the Tozawa Group, while the main amusement facilities and network protection were all handed over to the Karasuma Group."

"what?!"

Conan couldn't stop sweating when he heard this, and was glad that he called the guy first instead of directly looking for video information across the network.

"Luckily, I just scrolled to the video when I was looking at my phone. You saved your life."

"Then forget it..."

"But this is not difficult for me, I just have to operate the computer myself." Hiroki's mouth curled up slightly: "Collecting information, if I help you clean up your ass remotely, it will definitely not be clean, but if I clean it in front of you, hehe."

"Your metaphor is quite disgusting."

Conan's face twitched uncontrollably, and he remembered something and asked in confusion: "But how could Consultant Suzuki tell you such important information about the development of the island?"

"...Mr. Jirokichi was very anxious about his daughter's marriage, so I sold my brother."

"Oh... that's not surprising."

Conan looked at the phone curiously: "How did you sell it?"

"I'm in the same room with my brother, so I told him that I could help him secretly open his door in the middle of the night, and then go out to enjoy the sea breeze. The rest... hehe." Hiroki proudly looked at the millions of virtual coins that appeared in his live broadcast software: "It depends on whether Mr. Jirokichi can live up to his expectations."

"Haha, I'm beginning to feel sorry for this old man."

Conan shook his head and looked at the skateboard that Xiaolan had just taken out of the suitcase in the corner of the room.

"Once you follow the bus to the hotel, we will have to go directly to the wedding."

"Ok?"

Conan picked up the skateboard, pulled out the door card and put it in his pocket: "I'll pick you up. The skateboard can go directly through the amusement park, which will save at least half an hour."

"Half an hour." Hiroki put down his legs and stretched confidently: "It's enough for me to help you find out everything clearly."

"Okay, wait for me."

Shortly after Conan left, the girls from the Kudo family came out of the next room, and Akiko and Yuzuki went to the hotel's car rental agency to rent a vehicle.

"Conan?"

Xiaolan used her room card to open the door and asked the other girls to wait at the door.

"We're planning to go to the wedding first, so hurry up and get your clothes...Conan?"

Xiaolan looked at the room without electricity. Outside the window there was only the setting sun. On the sofa was the blue suit that she had just folded neatly.

"Conan?"

"Miss?"

"Eh!"

The hotel waiter was standing at the door of the room, and Kaori and the girls stretched their necks to look inside.

"can I help you?"

The hotel waiter was wearing a decent white suit. He looked very cheerful and had his hands on his chest.

"This room just called room service, so I came to take a look." The waiter pointed to the call button on the computer desk in the room, found that the room was a little shabby, and took out a spare room card from his chest pocket.

"If you don't mind..."

"Ah, of course."

The waiter nodded and inserted the room card into the power lock, making the room bright again.

"As for room service...ah, maybe my brother."

"Weren't you in the room just now?" The waiter suddenly realized: "So that's what happened. The child might have found it interesting, so he pressed the button subconsciously."

"Well, although I think Conan is unlikely, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"No, trouble is really the best thing for us." The waiter smiled and put his hands behind his back: "I think your brother must be very cute and smart."

"He is a little clever." Xiaolan responded with a smile.

"Then welcome everyone to stay at Hachijo Island South Hotel again. The internet on Hachijo Island is independent, and you can watch TV series from many countries here, especially the romance dramas that girls love the most."

The waiter bowed to the girls in the hallway and said, "The recent Korean soap operas are really good."

"Ah, thanks."

After watching the waiter leave, Xiaolan made sure the door was closed tightly and asked everyone to go downstairs.

"I think Conan has probably gone to the wedding already. So have we. Akiko should have parked the car downstairs."

The girls walked towards the elevator together.
