Stay away from Conan

In the afternoon, when Kengo Akechi returned from Shizuoka Prefecture and arrived at the scene of last night's crime, Officer Megure and others had already cordoned off the scene, and the body had been taken away for autopsy.

"Wise alert..."

After seeing Kengo Akechi arrive at the scene, Officer Megure couldn't help but go up and was about to report, but Kengo Akechi waved his hand and signaled. Officer Megure immediately stopped talking, and then Kengo Akechi asked:

"Do you have any results from the autopsy?"

Hearing this, Officer Megure nodded seriously, and then explained:

"It has basically been investigated clearly. The cause of death of the deceased was due to excessive blood loss after the limbs were cut off with a sharp instrument. And through the investigation of the incisions on the trunk and limbs, it can also be determined that the limbs of the deceased were cut off before death - -That is..."

As he spoke, Officer Memu lowered his head slightly, his expression became extremely solemn, and he spoke out the most concerning point about this matter:

"This method is exactly the same as the severed limbs of the three girls found before! It is very likely that the murderer of these incidents should be the same person! And..."

Saying this, Officer Memu's face became very ugly, and he couldn't bear to say a guess:

"Based on the accidental discovery of the crime scene, it is estimated that the three previous victims... may have..."

At this point, Officer Megure did not continue speaking. After all, this topic was too heavy, but he must have understood what he was going to say——

Just using the situation at the crime scene as an analogy, the murderer's modus operandi was nothing more than to cut off the deceased's body before he died, and then take the severed limbs away from the scene, leaving the deceased alone. Died from excessive blood loss at the scene!

And this means that the three girl victims whose limbs were cut off should also be dead. However, the police have not yet found the death scene of the deceased.

After all, the fact that the death scene of the victim in this incident was found this time was all thanks to the Mori Ginsan Police Department of the Second Search Section. Otherwise, it is estimated that the fact that the deceased died in this apartment will not be revealed until then. The police discovered it.

With this in mind, Officer Megure waited for the Akechi Kengo Police to give instructions on this incident. After all, the Akechi Kengo Police had been paying close attention to the severed limbs of the first victim since they were found more than a month ago. investigation into this incident.

Moreover, Officer Megure also learned an unexpected truth from Inspector Matsumoto Kiyonaga——

If it hadn't been for the accidental case of "girl mutilation", Akechi Police would have gone abroad to the United States to continue completing his unfinished work.

It was precisely because of this case that Police Akechi applied to stay in the country and wanted to wait until the case was over before leaving.

It can be seen that Mingzhi Jianwu Police takes this case very seriously.

However, having said that, the wise and enlightened look did not express agreement with Officer Megure's conclusion. Instead, he touched his chin with one hand, thinking deeply, and did not immediately pay attention to Officer Megure's report——

"If the murderer of these incidents is the same person, why is the victim this time an adult male instead of an underage girl like before?"

Akechi and Kanwu asked Officer Megure this question in a straightforward manner.

After hearing such an inquiry, Officer Megure couldn't help showing a puzzled expression, but he still said a little insistently:

"However, at present, the murderer's modus operandi is consistent, and we have not disclosed relevant clues about previous cases to the outside world, so..."

In response to this, Mingzhi Jianwu did not respond, but continued to think for a while, and then asked involuntarily:

"Has the identity of the deceased been found out?"

"Checked it out."

Officer Memu nodded and explained:

"The deceased's name was Saburo Akutsu. He once worked for Nakagawa Entertainment Co., Ltd. as a project manager. However, since the company was acquired, the deceased has been unemployed."

"Zhongchuan Entertainment?"

Hearing this name, Akechi Kenwu frowned slightly, and then turned around immediately, as if he planned to continue checking the situation at the scene, but wanted to leave here first——

"Wise Police, where are you going?"

Upon seeing this, Officer Megure was a little confused by Akechi Kengo's attitude of asking two questions and then leaving immediately. He was thinking about whether he had thought of any clues, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Go to the Zhongsen Police Department. I want to ask about the details of last night."

Akechi Kenwu said this, but there seemed to be a hint of understanding on his expression...

…

On the way back to Tokyo from Shizuoka Prefecture, Takato and Hisui Shirozuka, who were sitting in the car, were speechless all the way. They looked completely different from when they set off last night——

Last night, Chengzhong Jade was still laughing and joking with Gao Yuan along the way, but at this moment, Chengzhong Jade was just sitting in the passenger seat, looking out the window with an indifferent expression, not even wanting to have anything to do with Gao Yuan. verbal communication.

Even Gao Yuan had the same attitude towards this.

Ever since she met Akechi Kengo at Nanyang University, Shirozuka Hisui's attitude towards Takato has changed dramatically. Even when conducting investigations in the school, their words seemed very raw.

Now, on the way back, the two of them were like strangers, silent all the way back to Tokyo and back to the apartment downstairs where Shirozuka Hisui was--

"Is this good?"

Seeing Shirozuka Jade getting out of the car and walking towards the apartment without looking back, Gao Yuan thought about the results of the investigation that seemed to be fruitless at Nanyang University, and couldn't help but ask.

"Hey, that's good, Mr. Gao Yuan."

In response to this, Shirozuka Jade slowed down his steps slightly, his expression was very cold, and he did not turn around, but just replied coldly——

"Also, Mr. Gao Yuan, if nothing happens in the future, don't come to me. I don't need any guardian!"

No explanation was needed. Just seeing Gao Yuan and Akechi Kengo talking alone, Shirozuka Hisui could already guess the content of the conversation between the two.

After saying this, Shirozuka Jade continued to walk towards his high-rise apartment without looking back.

And looking at Chengzuka Jade's back leaving like this, Gao Yuan knew that with her character, it was probably useless to say anything, so he didn't stay too long and drove away from here——

At present, if there is no way to unlock the "Night Baron" virus, the data that stores organized information that was finally brought back must be sealed first.

So, after Gao Yuan watched Shirozuka Jade walk into the apartment door, he started the vehicle and left here.

However, neither of them noticed at this time that in a building near the apartment, there was a black figure holding a telescope. He had been staring at them since Gaoyuan's car appeared here until Until Gao Yuan's vehicle leaves——

Then, the black figure no longer paid attention to the direction in which Gao Yuan's vehicle left, and stared at the apartment building where Shirozuka Jade entered, with a longing smile on his lips...

…

However, after Gao Yuan left Shirozuka Jade's apartment, Gao Yuan did not choose to go home directly. Instead, he went to a shopping mall that specializes in electronic goods. He first bought a new USB flash drive, and then bought another computer that could connect, The new mobile phone that reads the data from the USB flash drive uses the data cable to back up the data containing the organizational data in the USB flash drive to the new mobile phone and the new USB flash drive at the same time.

Then, after installing his original mobile phone card into the new mobile phone, Gao Yuan saw a series of missed call notifications from Xiao Ai, and at this time, a slightly crazy message popped up on the mobile phone interface——

After carefully reading through the reminder messages from the operator, Gao Yuan discovered that the unanswered calls made by Xiao Ai were all last night.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but realized that he didn't seem to go back last night and didn't say hello to Xiao Ai in advance.

Therefore, after logging in to one of his commonly used email addresses on this mobile phone, Gao Yuan originally wanted to see if Xiao Ai had sent him an email after being unable to contact him. However, after logging in to the email address, on the email interface, The series of unread emails are not from Xiaoai——

What surprised Gao Yuan was that these emails actually came from the same person, a somewhat unexpected person——

Kuroba Kaito!

Kuroba Kaito, who rarely contacts him, actually started sending him emails continuously since last night. It's a bit abnormal...

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but frown slightly, then he clicked on these emails and looked through the contents of these emails.

However, after reading all the contents of these emails, Gao Yuan's expression couldn't help but become extremely ugly. Without any hesitation, he put away his mobile phone and USB flash drive, turned around and left the mall, started the vehicle, and drove to Jianggutian. Town, a billiards bar called "Blue Parrot"——

When he arrived at the door of the bar, although the sign on the door said "Not Open", Gao Yuan didn't care about it and walked straight into the bar.

At this time, it was only the afternoon, and there was still a long time before the bar opened in the evening, so there were no customers in the bar at all. There was only a tall and thin old man wiping some utensils on the bar.

When the old man saw Gao Yuan coming here, he didn't say anything. After raising his eyes for a moment, he continued to lower his head and wipe the utensils——

However, when Gao Yuan walked in from the door and passed by the bar, he suddenly paused deliberately, opened his car keys and the screen of his new mobile phone, and placed them in front of the old man.

Seeing this, the old man seemed a little surprised. He adjusted the glasses on his face. After carefully looking at the two things Gao Yuan placed on the bar, he looked up at Gao Yuan with slight doubts.

After Gao Yuan nodded slightly, the old man's expression became a little serious and he nodded. Then he temporarily put down what he was doing, put the equipment he was wiping aside, then reached out to take it from Gao Yuan and put it on the bar. took the car keys, and immediately left the bar——

There was no verbal communication, but both of them had tacit understanding and trust.

After seeing the old man walking out of the bar with his car keys, Gao Yuan turned and walked towards a door in the bar——

"Why did you come just now! When did this happen!"

After turning on the mechanism and walking into the secret room of the bar, before Gao Yuan could mentally prepare himself, Kuroba Kaito, who was originally staying in the secret room, immediately rushed to Gao Yuan and asked irritably.

"Sorry, Kuroba-san, I only saw the news this afternoon."

Slightly helpless, Gao Yuan waved his hand and said, then with a serious expression he asked:

"So, the message you wrote in the email is true?"

"nonsense!"

With a slightly grumpy temper, Kuroba Kaito seemed impatient to vent his emotions and shouted:

"If the situation hadn't been serious, I wouldn't have been so anxious to find you! Do you know, this is the first time I've seen such a death state! My limbs were chopped off, and blood was flowing all over the floor... I But I was shocked! "

"No...that's not what I asked..."

Listening to Kuroba Kaito's constant complaints, Gao Yuan couldn't help but interrupt:

"I want to ask, is it true that the deceased was an employee of Nakagawa Entertainment Co., Ltd.?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of contacting you about this..."

When Kuroba Kaito heard Gao Yuan's question, he couldn't help but waved his hands helplessly and said:

"If it's anything else, I'll handle it by myself! It's because this matter involves the U.S. Road incident, so I think you should also know about it."

In response to this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but helplessly held his forehead and sighed:

"But you already knew that person's identity before you went to steal the gems! Why didn't you contact me before that!"

"hey-hey……"

Having said this, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help showing an awkward smile, and said as if he wanted to explain:

"Originally I didn't want to trouble you... After all, you almost got into trouble with the incident on the American Island. So, thinking that I could resolve the matter simply, I simply led Officer Nakamori and the others there. Who would have thought..."

As he spoke, Kaito couldn't help but stop talking and did not continue. It seemed that when he thought of the scene at that time, he felt a physical discomfort.

Looking at Kaito's attitude, Gao Yuan was speechless. He only felt that what happened recently was a bit puzzling. He always felt as if he knew a little bit about everything, but at the same time it seemed that he didn't know the inner connection between them. .

So, Gao Yuan continued to ask:

"So, what about the gem you targeted this time? Do you know any news about that gem?"

Seeing this, when the topic turned to this topic, Kaito, who was still feeling a little uncomfortable, couldn't help but nodded seriously and responded with some pride:

"Of course. Do you know about Mesoamerican civilization?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan's expression suddenly froze, and his thoughts suddenly drifted to the time before, when he was talking to Shirozuka Jade at Nanyang University -

"If there are ruins in that village similar to the Fobina of the Mayan civilization, it must have something to do with the Mesoamerican civilization. And although this civilization has long invented the concepts of hexadecimal and zero, it has a sophisticated calendar and advanced celestial bodies. Observation technology is one of the largest civilizations in the history of human civilization..."

Shirozuka Hisui, who was rummaging for information in the activity room, said this, his expression became a little serious, and then he continued:

"But behind this high civilization, there is an extremely dark part, and this part of darkness is also one of the sources of the teachings of the 'Gus Group'."
