Dimensional Codex

Chapter 2185 Behind the Scenes (Wrong chapter number is wrong)

Due to Fang Zheng's hurricane all the way, the group of them was basically the first to arrive at the Twilight Pavilion. In fact, when Kogoro cautiously parked Fangzheng's car at the main entrance of the Twilight Pavilion, there was no car around.

"I just wonder if these rich people are mentally ill."

When he got out of the car, Fang Zheng shook his head looking at the twilight hall in front of him.

"Why one, two, three or four, all like to build a house in such an unpopulated place? It’s not convenient to go out and buy things. If someone gets sick, you probably miss the time when you send it to the hospital. Gangsters, robbers, if they make a retreat and kill your whole family all without any reaction..."

"Who knows, rich people have different ideas."

Hearing what Fang Zheng said, Kogoro Mouri also made a complaint. After all, he has experienced a lot of similar cases. I have to admit that Fang Zheng is right. Every time there is a murder in such a broken place, call the police. It's not easy to work, doctors are not easy to find, and he doesn't understand what kind of brain circuit these wealthy people are.

Of course, if you want to say that it is pure enough, if you die here for ten days and a half, no one will find it.

While chatting nonsense, the group walked up the steps, and then Kogoro Mouri knocked on the door, and soon a maid opened the door.

"Welcome, it's Mr. Maori and his party, I didn't expect everyone to come so early...Please come in."

"Are we the first to come here?"

Hearing the maid's words, Mouri Kogoro was also refreshed, while Conan looked at this scene and sighed helplessly. He is no longer a child, so what is he fighting for first...

"Yes, you are the first group of guests I have seen since I came here, and none of the other guests have come."

"Hahaha, that's how it is."

Hearing this, Moori Kogoro also laughed, and then walked into the annex, while Conan's eyes widened, showing the Oscar actor skills he learned in Hawaii, and looking at the maid.

"Big sister, I want to meet the host here. It's rare that he invited us to eat in such a luxurious place. I want to thank him."

"That said, where is the owner of the mansion?"

Xiaolan also hurried up to cooperate at the moment - it seems that the couple's file is really in a tacit understanding.

"This one……………"

Facing the two people's questions, the maid's face was embarrassed.

"Actually, I haven't seen the master."

"Hey?"

Upon hearing this, Mouri Kogoro also asked curiously.

"Aren't you working here? Why didn't you see anyone?"

"That's it, I was actually hired here...so..."

"But there will always be an interview."

"Speaking of it is a bit strange."

At this time, facing Maori Kogoro's question, the maid also said in confusion.

"I came to apply after seeing a job advertisement in the newspaper. Many people signed up because the conditions were very good. But when I walked into the room, I didn't see the interviewer, only one opened There was also a guest list on my computer, but when I was looking at the list, a line appeared on the computer saying that I was admitted..."

"that's it?"

Kogoro Moori frowned, and Conan and Koran listened carefully. After all, Kogoro Moori didn't know, but they knew that the person behind this invitation was Bel Mod, who made Conan smaller. The black organization may have any clues.

Moreover, this concealed appearance is indeed quite similar to the black organization.

It's a pity that this maid is only temporary. As for where this place is, the master doesn't know anything about it when they come here, except that the master also invited a few detectives to the dinner together. You can feel free to... ...

So everyone had no choice but to dangle in this annex.

And while the others hadn't come, Fang Zheng also planned to vaccinate Xiaolan.

After all, no matter how you are a detective, you are still afraid of ghosts.

"By the way, since I am idle and bored, let me tell you the story first."

"Hey?"

Hearing Fang Zhengguo's words, Maori Kogoro, Conan and Xiaolan were also taken aback.

"Do you know where this is?"

"Of course, I wouldn't come without doing a pre-investigation... It's just that the information is really limited."

Having said this, Fang Zheng also sighed. Conan’s network is not advanced and advanced enough in this era. A lot of information can not be found on the Internet. After changing to places like the game world, Fang Zheng directly used his personal terminal to hack into his ancestor 18. The generation can check it clearly, so...the necessity of digitization!

So Fangzheng had to send the Intelligence Department under Umbrella to investigate it. Of course, it was nothing more than collaborating with government agencies, visiting nearby residents, investigating newspapers and magazines, and inquiring about some intelligence rumors...

This kind of efficiency is of course far worse than searching on the Internet. Founder has become accustomed to the days when his personal terminal scans the 18th generation genealogy of other people’s ancestors. Suddenly encountering this kind of thing is also depressing. The godfather, who was used to female high school students, suddenly traveled back to the primitive age, and even the dinosaurs didn't have to sit on shoes and had to work hard with the saber-toothed tiger. That was depressed.

While talking, he took out a piece of paper.

"According to the clues I have investigated, this annex belongs to a rich man named Karasuma Renye, who died half a century ago..."

"Wait, Karasuma Ren?!"

Hearing this name, Xiaolan didn't respond, but Mouri Kogoro yelled, and Conan frowned.

"Well, at least once belonged to him..."

Fang Zheng took the report in front of him and continued on.

"Everything in this pavilion is specially made by Karasuma Renye... In short, as I said, rich people have money and willful, and their brain circuits are different from others, but what's next Things are a bit horrible...Well, Xiaolan, you should be mentally prepared first."

"Hey? Is it scary?"

Hearing this, Xiao Lan couldn't help but shrank her body, and Fang Zheng nodded.

"According to rumors and rumors, there was a tragic incident in this annex 40 years ago. At that time, the annex had convened celebrities from all walks of life, of course, to mourn the 99-year-old man. The deceased tycoon was actually an auction of the art collected by Karasuma Renya during his lifetime."

Having said this, Fang Zheng glanced around.

"At that time, the auction was expected to last for three days and three nights. As a result, on the second night, on a rainy night, two uninvited guests came to the entrance of the annex. They claimed to be lost travelers, hoping to stay overnight here. Of course, at the beginning, the person in charge of the annex refused, but when the other party gave him a cigarette, he suddenly changed his mind and let the two enter the annex."

"…………………"

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro, Xiaolan and Conan all took a breath of air-conditioning, and Fang Zheng continued to speak.

"And after that, other guests were also bewitched by these two people. At first, there were people arguing about these two uninvited guests, but then a strange scene happened. One of the guests who participated in the auction seemed to have met. Throwing away her own lot like a ghost and rushing wildly, while a woman cried bitterly as if praying for someone’s forgiveness, and some people stab herself excitedly, and then the whole venue became a hell. Everyone. They all began to **** the auctioned artworks, and even killed each other because of it. In the end, after one night, only eight bodies and a dozen unconscious guests were left in this annex, and those two mysterious The person disappeared along with the auction item."

"......This, is this just a story?"

"Not at all."

Xiao Lan asked tremblingly, while Fang Zheng shook his head.

"In fact, since I entered this annex, I smelled a strong smell of blood."

"Have it?!"

"My nose is relatively pointed, and most people probably can't smell it."

Fang Zheng waved his hand and continued on.

"At least from the previous point of view, the gates, corridors, living rooms, playrooms, these places we passed along the way had blood stains, and it was far more than eight people. It is estimated that more than eight people died at that time... …"

"I'll go out and smoke a cigarette to calm down."

Maori Kogoro felt cold all over at the moment, and it didn’t feel good to look at this empty playroom. He hurriedly found an excuse to slip out and relax, but Xiaolan wanted to leave, but was beaten by Fang Zheng. Gestures, and then took Conan to sit on the sofa next to him.

"What do you think?"

Fang Zheng pretended to play chess with Conan, and asked in a low voice.

"For now, I think the person who invited us this time should have nothing to do with the black organization."

Conan also changed his mind and gave his own guess.

"The signature of the invitation letter this time is a word game, which is converted to Kaito Kidd, but..."

"Kid had the guts to show up in front of me, I had beaten him to death."

That's right, as Fang Zheng said, Kidd didn't have the guts to send him and Conan a letter. If Fang Zheng provokes him, Kidd really didn't know how to die.

"So this time the inviter is probably pretending to be the Kaito Kidd, trying to attract the attention of our detectives."

"The reason why Belmode was tampering with this letter might be that she discovered that this letter would be sent to Kogoro Mouri. After all, in her capacity, it would be too reluctant to contact you directly. ."

Founder didn't believe that Belmode was really that stupid.

"So this letter should have nothing to do with the black organization, but the clues contained in this letter should be related to the black organization, so Belmode wrote his name specially."

Conan understood it now, and Xiao Lan also raised her own question.

"Then could it be that this sponsor has something to do with the black organization?"

"Impossible. If the person who invited us to the banquet has something to do with the black organization, then Belmode leaving his name on it is simply looking for death. At that time, as long as one of us is idle and has nothing to do, ask the organizer why the above There will be Belmode's signature, and she's almost done."

Fang Zheng shook his head.

"In contrast, I am more concerned about Karasuma Renya."

"You mean the rich man?"

"Yes."

Founder nodded.

"After you told me that this letter was signed by Belmode, I sent someone to conduct a series of investigations in the twilight annex. This guy named Karasuma Renye is indeed suspicious, and I told you before That story... I have an idea."

Having said this, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes.

"Perhaps Karasuma Renye is a fraud."

"So you mean that the tycoon didn't die at all, but pretended to be dead, and then sent someone to take away his belongings?"

Conan frowned and thought for a moment.

"But the Karasuma Renye is already ninety-nine years old. Others can be faked, but they can't be faked by age..."

"Are you sure? Think about Mermaid Island."

"…………………should?"

Thinking of the eldest woman played by Shimabukuro Junhui, Conan's tone was not so sure.

"Even if it is true, it was all half a century ago. The one named Karasuma Renye, I think he should have died long ago."

"Ha ha."

Hearing Conan's inference, Fang Zheng smiled and pointed at him.

"Have you forgotten how did you become like this?"

"Of course it's because of taking poison."

"So who developed the poison?"

"The black organization...wait, you wouldn't want to say that the black organization developed this medicine, in fact, to make Karasuma Renye rejuvenate!!"

Thinking of this, Conan was shocked, and Xiao Lan was even more stunned, feeling like she was listening to science fiction.

"Why is it impossible? You always thought that the poison developed by the black organization was used to kill people, and that it became smaller because of its side effects. Why don't you think about it the other way around. In fact, the drug researched by the black organization may itself be In order to restore youth, the dead talent is its side effect - but because the side effects are too large, it cannot be marketed. This kind of thing is actually normal in the field of drug development."

"But the premise is that Karasuma Renye is still alive. It has been half a century since his death!"

"In 1967, there was a rich man named James Bedford who was incurable due to advanced lung cancer. So he decided to freeze himself at a low temperature, and hoped that one day in the future, the medical technology would be sufficiently developed to cure him. After lung cancer, he woke up and continued to live. This is the first person in the world to receive cryotherapy."

Fang Zheng said silently.

"Furthermore, the idea of ​​cryopreservation of life has been discussed in the academic circles a century ago. Considering that Karasuma Renye is a tycoon, it is only natural that he wants to live forever and stay young. People are rich and willful. Want to make it, can you control it?"

"…………………"

Conan was speechless when faced with Fang Zheng's question.

He really can't control it!

"So what you mean is that Karasuma Renye secretly established a black organization to study the drug in order to restore his youth, and announced suspended animation to the outside. In addition to researching drugs, the black organization also penetrated into various fields. Is it to let Karasuma Renya re-enter the pinnacle of power after'resurrection'?"

"Probably."

Fang Zheng nodded silently, but he still had something to tell Conan. According to what Xiao Ai and Ming Mei told him, the parents of the two sisters had also studied the drug, but in the end the rebel organization burned all the research materials. Fang Zheng suspected that they might have learned the truth and knew that their medicine was going to be taken by Wuwanlianye, so they destroyed everything.

Moreover, since it is a drug, it must be tested before it can be used. Belmode may be the victim of this drug, and the true function of APTX4869 should actually be to restore youth to the youth, and then stay young forever. This can also be seen from Belmode. She looks like she is only in her thirties. In fact, according to Fang Zheng's investigation, she is probably already sixty or seventy years old.

In other words, if Conan, Xiao Ai, and Belmode are taking the same drug, then they are equivalent to embodying the two characteristics of the drug.

One is to regain youth, the other is to keep youth forever.

It’s just that the drug is obviously not stable enough. Considering Belmode’s age, when she took the drug, Xiao Ai and Mingmei were not born yet, so she should be taking the drug studied by their parents. Although this drug showed the characteristics of "maintenance", it did not show the characteristics of "restoring youth".

After that, Mingmei and Xiaoai’s parents might have really researched the meaning of the elixir of life, but after learning that the drug was to be taken by the evil leaders of the black organization, they naturally destroyed it.

Xiao Ai said that the drug she developed was based on part of the data left by her parents, so Fang Zheng also had an inference.

That is, Xiao Ai's parents had taken two drugs back then, one is the incomplete A drug, and the other is the complete B drug.

Later, drug A was given to Belmod — it’s not surprising, you can’t afford this kind of drug to your enemies. Like on Meiman, you find a passerby to do the experiment, and then you come up with a superhero and turn to you. Trouble, such a stupid thing is rejected by anyone with a normal IQ.

Belmode is likely to be trusted by Karasuma Renye, UU reading www. Therefore, uukanshu.com is a natural confidant to "test poison".

It is a pity that the effect of medicine A is not complete, so Miyano and his wife made a complete medicine B, but after that, in order to prevent Karasuma Renya from resurrecting, they destroyed medicine B and the materials. And Xiao Ai obtained the residual information of her parents, which is probably the part of the complete "B" drug, so the APTX4869 she made will have the effect of "rejuvenating".

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Belmode just hasn't grown old, while Xiaoai and Conan have become smaller.

"So what shall we do now?"

"I don't bother to worry about what this owner wants, but there are probably some clues hidden in this annex. If we can find these clues, we may be able to find the hiding place of Karasuma Renye."

Having said this, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and patted Conan on the shoulder.

"This task is left to you, detective!"
