Conan's other self

That person was exactly what Xiaolan and the others happened to mention, their English teacher Judy St. Timilion, who had short, straight blond hair and wore a pair of old glasses.

Xiaolan and Yuanzi soon noticed her. Judy didn't seem to want to reveal her identity as a high school teacher here, so she led everyone to a corner before speaking.

After a brief introduction to Conan and Maplehara, Xiaolan and Sonoko then asked Judy how she could come to such a place.

"You come to this game room every day after class?"

Sonoko was a little surprised by the answer.

"Yes! Japanese video games are really exciting!" Judy seemed to be a game fan. "In the United States, video games imported from Japan are also very popular. There are always long queues, and sometimes there is no queue!"

"That's why I came to be an English teacher, because this way I can enjoy interesting video games every day!"

"But you are so serious in class..."

"If something goes wrong and I get fired, I'll be screwed. It's very, very difficult for foreigners to find a job in Japan." Judy put her index finger in front of her mouth, making a gesture of confidentiality, "So please be careful about what I do here. Keep it a secret, don’t tell anyone!”

"But, this is cool!"

"yes!"

Xiaolan and Yuanzi were surprised that their usually very serious English teacher had such an unknown side. Judy took Yuanzi's place as a real "know-it-all" and took Xiaolan and the others to play a nearby game console. .

This is a virtual fighting game from a first-person perspective. Through sensing devices, real-life moves are reflected on the game character, and the pain when being beaten will also be transmitted to the player. However, these are still relatively crude.

"Her shooting movements seem to be very professional." Over there, Xiaolan listened to Judy's introduction to the game, and Maplehara whispered to Conan.

"Yes." Conan nodded, "But she often comes here to play games. She is an American, and her shooting skills are normal."

There's no way to refute this.

However, this is actually because Judy is an FBI agent.

Feng Yuan thought to himself. However, he could not explain why he knew it, and he had no intention of becoming a prophet, so he did not continue.

There is no need to say it.

On the other side, Xiaolan has already put on her headphones and started playing. Except for the initial sneak attack by the opponent who did not respect martial arts, Xiaolan almost suppressed the opponent and fought.

"Amazing!"

"Of course!" Yuanzi put her hands on her hips and looked proud, as if she was the one being praised by Judy. "Xiaolan is a karate champion!"

At this moment, Xiaolan punched out hard and the character opposite fell to the ground.

"marvelous!"

Xiaolan was very happy to win the game, but she was a little embarrassed by the compliments given by several people in turn, so she decided to get up and change people to play.

Then she noticed someone had joined the fight.

"This is?"

"It's the challenger," Judy introduced from the side. "It seems that there are other players coming to challenge you."

"Huh? Really?"

"Yeah. Be careful," Judy said, looking back at a machine behind her. There was a young man sitting there, and he made a provocative gesture towards them, "He is a very powerful master. …”

The game begins quickly.

Feng Yuan also looked at it carefully.

In fact, he still remembered that the case might occur when he first met Judy, but he did not remember the details.

What's more, with Conan here, crimes may happen every day.

Xiaolan encountered a major challenge in the game.

The opponent seemed to be very good at this game, and Xiaolan soon fell behind. She persisted for a while with her strong karate strength, but in the end she unfortunately lost.

"it's a pity…"

"If you lose, go away, little sister!" The man behind took off his helmet and stood up. His name was Oto Kengo, "That golden throne is my exclusive seat..."

"What did you say?" The other party was very rude, Yuanzi was very dissatisfied, "Xiaolan, do it again, take revenge..."

"Impossible," a voice came from the side. The person who spoke was the staff member who was recovering coins from Ran's machine, named Dejima Jun. "Because he not only used his fists and feet, but also used the four handles on his hands. Press the button to exert the strongest power."

"You play this game for the first time today," he then said to Xiaolan, "it is impossible to win..."

Kengo Oto looked very impatient, urging Dejima to leave quickly, and sat in the seat Xiaolan had just left.

Yuanzi, who originally wanted to experience it, had no choice but to follow the crowd and leave angrily, "That guy is really annoying!"

"Because everyone calls him Rice Krispies Caesar, that's why he is so arrogant. In fact, he is just a little gangster."

A middle-aged man sitting nearby playing games said, his name is Toshiji Emori, "He seems to have joined a gang recently, so he has gotten worse. Even I am suffering from it..."

Toshiji Emori seems to be very optimistic about Xiao Ran, who just regretted losing the first time he played. Like a special NPC who hopes that the brave can defeat the dragon, he teaches Xiao Ran the game experience.

He saw the game screen from the big screen on the wall. According to him, the screen usually only shows the screen. Once the game enters the challenge mode, you can see the game between the two sides on the screen.

During his introduction, Fengyuan noticed another man walking towards him. He looked about thirty years old. Toshiji Emori also introduced that this was Shimizu Takayasu, known as "Lutas of Cupido". It seemed that he had made an agreement with Oto Kengo to challenge him.

There are not many machines for this game, and now that there is no room, Judy plans to play another racing game on the side.

Sonoko was not very interested in racing, and her hands were itchy after watching Xiaolan's game just now, so she pulled Fengyuan and ran back to the ordinary fighting game console.

The game here ended quickly.

The battle was easily solved by Yuanzi, and Fengyuan followed Yuanzi back to Xiaolan and Conan.

However, the two of them were not watching Judy's racing game. Instead, they were watching the battle between Shimizu Takayasu and Oto Kengo on the screen nearby.

"What a fierce battle!"

"that is true!"

Xiaolan and Yuanzi sighed, while Conan nodded in agreement. Feng Yuan doesn’t think so.

Rather than saying it was intense, it was more one-sided, very similar to the match between him and Sonoko just now.

He was somewhat impressed, so he glanced at Oto Kengo, who was across Judy from him.

"Sister Xiaolan," Fengyuan gently pulled Xiaolan to attract her attention, "how did that big brother become such a loser? Didn't he just beat you, sister Xiaolan?"

"No," Xiaolan explained, "He is in the lead now..."

Kengo Oto often plays the role of Caesar, and challenger Takayasu Shimizu often plays the role of Lutas. On the screen Lutus is being beaten by Caesar.

But Xiao Kong was not here just now, so it’s normal to not know this...

Xiaolan thought to herself, but after Fengyuan's reminder, she still looked over there.

Sonoko on the other side also made the same move, and complained at the same time:

"You have the nerve to criticize other people at your level. You don't even know the characters in the game. Look - Huh?"

They were already very close to Kengo Oto's machine and could see it directly from here, but they were so focused on the big screen that they didn't notice it just now.

Looking along the line of sight, the screen on Kengo Oto's game console showed the character of Caesar.

Since this is a first-person virtual fighting game, this means that he is actually playing Lutas, the character who was beaten on the big screen and was unable to fight back.

Conan seemed to have thought of something and ran towards that direction.

After observing carefully, Conan's expression changed slightly, and then he shouted: "Sister Xiaolan, call an ambulance!"

It seemed that something had happened. Xiaolan subconsciously took out her mobile phone and prepared to call the police. Then she realized that Conan was calling for an ambulance. But despite this, she shouted both.

But Kengo Oto still stopped breathing the next moment.

Judy, who was playing a racing game on the side, also noticed the movement, stopped the game, and walked to Conan. The game on the screen seems to have been suspended, and the time will soon exceed the time limit.

The game hall suddenly became chaotic.

…

"Died in a video game battle?" The Memu Police Department who arrived quickly was a little surprised, "Really?"

"Well, we watched their battle on that screen." Xiaolan explained. "During the game, we found that he was not using his usual character. When we took a closer look, we found that he had lost consciousness..."

"Not necessarily." Conan looked serious. "It may be that he lost consciousness before the game started. He had no power to fight back from the beginning."

Judy looked over in surprise.

"He must have been poisoned, probably injected with a syringe or something," Conan continued, "And, don't you find it strange? Why do they switch roles to fight?"

This child seems to be very unusual...

Judy thought to herself and looked at Conan carefully.

It's rare to find such a smart kid.

And, to be honest, the child named Sora Kaedehara next to him also looked very unusual. Even though such a thing happened, he acted very calmly...

On the other side, under Conan's reminder, the Memu Police Department sent someone to retrieve the video from the overhead camera to check who had been close to the deceased between after he sat down and before the game started.

Shimizu Takaho stood in the crowd with a gloomy expression.

Since the deceased's death was discovered in advance, he was the only one who actually came close to the deceased.

On the pretext of asking about the deceased's fighting strategies, he whispered to the deceased and stabbed the deceased's armpit with a needle containing tetrodotoxin between a cigarette.

He also terminated the deceased's game at the same time, started a new one for him and changed the character, trying to make everyone think that the leading character Caesar was controlled by the deceased.

only…

It's really your fault to do all these bells and whistles in a place where a casual person can spot the trick just by looking at the machine.

Feng Yuan thought to himself.

But in any case, his first meeting with the FBI ended successfully.
