Chapter 468 Diary
  [On March 3, a tall man with a distinct Osaka accent suddenly came to me and said that he was very interested in a program I had developed before.

But when I told him that my eyesight had deteriorated due to eye disease and I no longer planned to continue developing it, I left decisively.
  That man, who is all in pitch black, hopes not to see him again in the future.】

"Damn, why is this the only diary entry?"

Conan scratched his head irritably, "I didn't mention the tequila thing in the rest of the diary. Is it a waste of time?"
  In this way, we only know that the black organization is very interested in a certain program developed by Mr. Itakura, and there is no important information at all."

"Don't be so hasty to draw conclusions." Tang Ze pointed to the blank space of the diary on the computer and said: "First move the mouse to the blank space, and then use the left button to select the blank space and make it highlight."

[I'm so tired. If I continue like this, I'm afraid I might be killed one day]

"It's hidden text!?"

Conan's expression brightened when he saw the text displayed on the screen, "Yeah, why didn't I think of this? If you want to hide some text, you only need to use the same color as the background board, and it can be roughly hidden!
  If this is the case, then there must be very important information in it, which made Mr. Itakura afraid that someone would steal his diary, so he tampered with the key information. Thank you! "

Although this little trick is a trick that any child who is proficient in computers will know in later generations, after all, this is an era when computers are just becoming popular.

Apart from anything else, Officer Memu probably doesn't even know how to turn on a computer. It's natural that these slightly "high-end" skills can stump people.

Well, there is also a small solution to the problems of the times.

"Ten days after I came to find Mr. Itakura from Tequila, there were hidden texts." Conan operated the computer and revealed the contents of the blank spaces one by one.

[On March 3, the pen on the table was moved another 26 centimeters, and sure enough, someone sneaked into my studio]

[On April 4th, this time someone broke into my house while I was not at home. Since nothing was lost and no traces were left, the police would definitely not handle such a case. 】

[On June 6, I couldn’t stand this kind of life anymore. I spent money to change the door lock and installed a hidden camera at home, but I still got nothing.]

【July 7th, who is it? ? asshole! ! Get out of here! ! 】

[December 12th, I’m so tired. If I continue like this, I’m afraid I’ll be driven crazy even if I’m not killed.]

[On January 1, in order to get rid of this hair-raising terror, I wrote a message on the desktop to the intruder, which said "I am willing to accept your conditions."]

[On January 1, the other party responded unexpectedly quickly. The unknown intruder left a message on my desk.
  There was only "OK" written in bright red on the paper, and a series of strange phone numbers.

The red "paint" looks like blood, and its meaning is very obvious. If I dare to say it out loud, I will probably die immediately]

[On January 1, I hesitated and was confused for a long time. In the end, I didn’t choose to call the police, but dialed that weird phone number.

What I didn't expect was that the person on the other end of the phone was actually a woman. Her attitude and tone of voice were as strong as a queen who was aloof and in control of everything.
  What she asked of me was to complete the program under development within a year, and said that they could acquire it at a high price.
  I think she may be the companion of the burly man with an Osaka accent. ]     【On February 2, the contact method between us became email. I put forward two conditions. The first was that the remuneration given to me should be remitted to my account. The second condition was that no further communication was allowed. Come and harass me again]

[December 12nd, no, I still can’t do it! ! When I decided to give up developing this program, apart from some reasons for poor eyesight, it was also for the sake of all mankind.]

"For, for all mankind?" Conan looked at the content in front of him, and his expression became serious.

The other party's tone didn't sound like he was joking, so the weight of his words "for the sake of all mankind" seemed a bit heavy.

"The next one is the last one." With the operation of the mouse, the most important content was revealed in front of the two people.

[On February 2th, the time for the transaction was about to expire. I was going to hide the unfinished program and the check for the same amount as the previous remuneration they gave me next to the computer in the villa, and then flee directly abroad.
  They will send me an email informing me of the delivery time and location five days later at 12 o'clock in the morning. I must take advantage of this gap to escape]

"Great!" Conan clenched his fists, "This diary entry was written four days ago, which means that in three hours, the black organization's email with transaction information will be sent!"

"It seems that Itakura has already planned to run away."

Tangze looked at the email and said with some sigh: "That's why I took on three development jobs at the same time. I'm afraid it was just to prepare for fleeing overseas. But this act of raising funds also killed him."

I wanted to escape, so I prepared funds, but I didn't expect that during the process of preparing funds, I was killed because of this move.
  Tang Ze can only say that one drink and one peck will make your destiny.
  As the mouse wheel slid down, Mr. Itakura said that the diary he had written had reached the last entry, leaving a large blank space.

Conan habitually opened the blank space, but he didn't expect that there was a hidden diary under the last article.

And this is also the last diary entry left by Mr. Itakura.

[On February 2th, I don’t know what they wanted to do when they asked me to develop that program, but what the woman who answered the phone said to me at that time is something I will never forget.
  Once, because I couldn't stand the condescending tone of her speech, I couldn't help but ask them who they were.

But I didn’t expect that woman to smile and speak to me in English
  "We can be both of God and the devil. Since we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time."

"!!!"

Looking at the line of English revealed in front of him, Conan's face was covered with clearly visible shadows for the next moment because its content was too horrifying.

Because this sentence means——

"We are gods and demons. Because we want to reverse the flow of time."

"Bringing the dead back to life."
