Conan Moslin

The story of the Sally Beth Cruise has come to an end.

It was an extremely grand performance, but apart from the more than 500 guests and police officers present, very few people knew the whole picture.

The guests who attended the banquet received more or less compensation from the Suzuki Group, and most of them stopped making trouble and decided to quit while they were ahead.

The fact that Sanada Kazuzo was replaced by Kaito for the entire performance was quietly intercepted by the Suzuki Group at the suggestion of Kuriyasu. Only some vague words were spread in the dark, which actually made him become somewhat mysterious. It could be considered a blessing in disguise.

Of course, Li An also benefited, but there is no need to mention it in detail.

This matter is over, so let's not sing it anymore.

……

It’s the third day since the Sally Beth incident ended.

Li An submitted the results of his investigation into the disk program being triggered.

【The virus program is triggered, and the data is confirmed to be destroyed. 】

[The disk has been damaged and has been sent back for inspection.]

【Address: 1503 Tokyo Metropolitan Hotel. 】

【Time: around 4 am on April 20. 】

[Trigger: Drongo, Melancholy (registered as a pseudonym at the front desk), facial features are..., disguise confirmed. ]

[Suspected member of a special organization, codenamed "Animal". ]

[Temporary application information transfer, request for filing. 】

To be honest, Li An didn't care whether the two men would take these things away. If no one took them, then these things might eventually be thrown into the sea to feed the fish by the waiters who were cleaning up.

Then find a random place to plug the disk in as a last resort.

This was the original plan during the time when Li An was ill.

The situation now is just like a pillow given to you when you are sleepy, and someone is willing to take it over.

The drongo and the meerkat who were forced to take the hot potato: ...You also dared to say that this is true!

Well, didn’t you say that?

Mr. Shirakura Saku probably reminded the two of them very subtly in a private chat behind the scenes, but the situation on that day meant that if they didn't agree, they would be doomed.

So no matter what, the positioning of the magnetic disk will definitely be pushed onto them.

However, if they are prepared, with the abilities of these two people, there is a high probability that they can escape.

After all, she even planned an escape route for them, how thoughtful.

Of course, it is possible to encounter a small probability of a dead end...

It depends on whether Gin accepts the order.

But if they didn't get the stuff...

Then give me a modern poem -

Sayonara.

Since you have agreed to the transaction, the consequences of breach of trust should be borne by the other party.

Li An had no awareness that he was diverting trouble to others, he just felt that he was engaging in a strange fight between the left and the right.

For her, the Tiger's Death incident was completely over and she didn't need to think about it anymore.

After going around in circles like this, she did not gain nothing.

Next to Li An's hand, there was a stack of vertically placed magnetic disks, intact.

You read that right, a stack.

This is a copy of the disk obtained through special means to bypass the insertion into the computer.

Although she had an organized computer, she had never inserted the disk directly into it before. This was to prevent internal tracking signals and also because there would be traces of the computer's use.

"Since you are afraid of the tracking signal being sent out...why not use a signal jammer?"

A member argued with a strange look on his face.

Li An: ...Isn’t this just to get the job done?

Who asked her to be given the job of finding the disk?

Hey, forget it.

The data in the copy is intact, but this also means that the data virus is still present. Only the locating signal activated by the power supply of the hard drive itself when inserted into the computer has been erased.

As for how this was done, we have to talk about the piles of discarded magnetic disks at [Ming].

Part of the scrapped disk is a barrier to replication technology, and the other part is a fight against the Duke of Darkness virus.

That’s right, this virus hidden in the replica and the original is indeed the virus called “Duke of the Dark Night”.

This special virus, which appears out of nowhere, will destroy all data in a computer after invading it, causing huge losses to many companies.

This program is so perfect that once it is running it is unstoppable.

Because of its mysterious appearance and disappearance, it was named "Duke of Darkness" after the mysterious character in Yusaku Kudo's novel.

This virus is a bit tricky.

The winery organization uses it for encryption, but in fact, once this program is running, members of the organization cannot decipher it.

It is true that if you can't get it, you will be destroyed...

Bah, it's the typical case of destroying something if you can't get it.

Apart from the data inside, this is a must-have for destroying a person's computer, and it may even be able to identify an organization's computer.

It can be considered as reverse exploitation...but the cost of admitting the mistake is a bit high.

There seems to be some news about this "good medicine" recently.

……

It was already time to go home from school. Across the street, Edogawa Conan was refreshing at a fixed point, while Mao Li Ran was offline as usual.

Also present are the little girl Haibara who goes into the laboratory every day, and Dr. Agasa, the owner of the mansion who studies toys every day.

What is Conan doing at this moment?

He was sorting out the letters that had recently arrived at his home from various places.

Ever since his father, Yusaku Kudo's Dark Duke series of novels topped the US bestseller list, countless letters have been sent here every day.

Most of them come from book fans, full of praise, admiration and urging for updates, and are to be forwarded to Kudo Yusaku.

Dr. Agasa would collect letters for him regularly to prevent the mailbox from being overcrowded, but the job of sorting was always his.

Conan threw all the letters to be forwarded into the box.

"As before, all letters are addressed to my dad."

"After all, he is a famous writer, and many people know your home address."

"I have to send it to Switzerland... How troublesome." Conan muttered, "Just forward it in your name, Doctor, as before."

"Of course," Dr. Agasa agreed immediately, continuing to fiddle with the mantis-shaped machine in his hand... the bug.

"Doctor, what is this thing you made?"

"Oh, you're talking about this." Dr. Agasa put down the instrument in his hand, pushed up his glasses and turned to look at him, "This is a gift I made for a little girl."

"little girl?"

"Oh, she's the granddaughter of an old friend of mine, about the same age as you are now. I plan to give her the gift on my next tour."

Bug toys? For kids?

Conan looked at the enlarged version of the bug toy in front of him.

Although the details are quite exquisite, look at the metal sickle of the toy...it is sharp enough to cut your fingers.

Is this toy really harmless?

No, that's not right. Is this kind of toy really suitable for children?

Conan was very worried about this.

"And if she likes it, then this type of toy can arouse strong interest among children all over the world..."

Dr. Agasa continued to speak, but the topic gradually deviated towards reaching the peak of life and becoming a billionaire.

"……PhD."

When will your dream come true?

Conan didn't know what to say, so he had to change the subject abruptly: "Doctor, when did you join the tour group?"

"This..."
