【Chi'an】Lies Tetralogy

"Hey - what a big scene."

In the large parking lot that is basically full, the Subaru 360 is hidden in the corner unobtrusively.Through the glass, the noise of the crowd can be heard here.The night is lit up with starry lights, and across the street stands the skyscraper named "Nona Tower". This spectacular 600-meter-high building is also one of the properties of the Quangongji Consortium.The bottom of the tower was blocked by fans chanting Kidd's name and police officers maintaining order.

"Are you sure you can get in?" Amuro squinted his eyes against the car window and looked out.Akai had already transformed into the appearance of Okiya Subaru, and was sitting on the seat next to him at the moment, inserting the communicator into the ear hole.

"Don't worry, I have an employee card."

Amuro turned his face and glanced at him suspiciously. "Since when did you become an office worker again?"

"It's still in the probationary period. The scientific research department of the company welcomes the engineering students of Toto University." Seeing Amuro's expression, Akai (Okiya) put on a fox-like smile. "Don't look at me like that, I passed the formal interview and ordered a new suit just for that."

"You're not at all good for sneaking and searching." But I have to admit, this guy looks pretty smart in a suit.Amuro made himself look away, and stretched out his hand to help the other party open the jacket, "It looks better this way, fastening the buttons is not like going to work, but like going to a wedding." Then his hand was grabbed.

"It's a pity that my marriage proposal has not been successful so far," Akai pressed his cheek with a smile and lowered his voice: "Does this imply that there will be a turning point today?"

"Just dream."

"Don't be like this, Amuro-kun, a man needs a little encouragement before going into battle."

The corner of Amuro's mouth raised, revealing a smiling face that was half angel and half devil. "If you come back alive, maybe I will give you a pleasant surprise."

"That's really exciting."

They exchanged a moderate kiss, and then Akai briskly opened the car door. "I wish us a happy cooperation this time."

"I hope it will be more enjoyable than last time." Amuro gritted his teeth and said.During their last collaboration, Amuro had to wear a dress and be flown over at least three blocks in public.

"I thought you forgot me." Belmode complained.

"The leading role doesn't have to be the first to appear on stage."

"You're still so good at going around in circles," she giggled on the other end of the phone, "Speaking of which, did you bring your mysterious lover? Since he can also disguise himself, he still needs my help?"

Amuro looked out of the car subconsciously.The night looked strange, and Akai had already disappeared inside. "He has his uses." He said without emotion, "You'd better be careful, the scene tonight is too chaotic, and there are countless plainclothes policemen scattered in the crowd."

"Pretend to be like that Makishima, let them notice me, and then distract them, right?" The woman changed into a reproach with perfect acting skills. "Please, you owe me a favor for asking me to do such a dangerous thing."

"For the Witch with Thousand Faces, the golden cicada is good at escaping her shell. But thank you very much."

The phone waves are silent.Then Belmode lowered his voice: "Gin is suspicious of you, you know that, Bourbon?"

Amuro's heart beat a little faster. "Ginjiu always suspects everyone." He evaded the important point and said lightly, "This mission related to the Quangong Temple Consortium has very little chance of success, and that adult knows this. I think even if we return empty-handed, Gin can at most question my ability, there is no reason to question our loyalty."

"For a man like Qin Jiu, his brain will turn half a circle more than others on all things." She sighed faintly, "I am a grasshopper on the same rope with you, no matter what... I have to remind you to be careful, Bourbon, otherwise, even I, there will be times when I can no longer cover for you."

The phone hangs up.Amuro stared at the phone screen for a few seconds. What does this woman who always plays tricks mean?The beeping sound immediately made him decide to concentrate on the task in front of him.The young man turned on the laptop on his lap, put on the headset, and heard Akai's voice.

"How's the situation?"

"I've sneaked into their server room, underground. Who were you talking to?"

"It's Belmode. I made her move too."

"You know people well, sir."

"That's the benefit of having three clubs at the same time." Amuro tapped the keyboard solemnly. "Now install the transmitter on the directory server so I can access and view the data here."

"You were right, Amuro-kun."

"what?"

"I'd much rather shoot someone in the knee with a gun than a sneak search like this."

A window popped up on the screen. "OK, it's connected." Amuro stared at the computer monitor without blinking, and began to analyze the flow of data. "Compared to this kind of hacking work, I also prefer the kind of tasks that can make a little sweat."

"It seems that we have the same hobbies."

"Why are you talking so much, Akai, are you nervous?"

"No, I just want to hear your voice." Akai said.

Amuro was glad that there were only the two of them in this communication line, otherwise his pause at this moment would have been misunderstood as shyness. "Don't interfere with my work!"

***

Akai hides himself, in an office cubicle of the Quangongji Science and Technology Department underground in Nonata, the neatly arranged servers are buzzing, and the casing of the case is flickering with a spot of light like a firefly.In fact, the intern employees do not have permission to enter here, and the time he can win is very limited, but let's not repeat these to Amuro.

The room was enveloped in a faint blue light.Akai waited for the analysis results from Amuro while squatting down with a bored expression.Just then something caught his attention.

"Hey, Akai!" Amuro's nervous call came from the headset. "What's wrong? Why don't you talk?"

"In order not to interfere with your work." Akai smiled playfully, "I shut up for less than a minute, is Amuro-kun worried about my safety?"

Amuro sounded like he was going to rush over and punch him.

"Before you drain the communicator's battery, can you talk about something serious?!"

"Actually, I just discovered something very interesting." His eyes fell on the back of one of the cases. "—It seems that I am not the only one who installed the launcher here."

"what!?"

Amuro's mind also turned quickly. "It means that other than us, there are other people who are also trying to bypass the firewall to access Nonata's server. Wait a minute..."

Akai could vaguely hear the crackling sound of typing on the keyboard. "Sure enough." Amuro said in a low voice, "The highly encrypted traffic passing through the server has two different end users. Some of it flows to a certain department of the cabinet."

"What about the other user?"

"It looks like an unknown independent server. A large amount of data is flowing in from there, and it seems that they want to use the Nonata server as an intermediary point..."

"So that's it." Akai stood up, "I think all the actors for this scene have arrived. Can you analyze the location of these two terminal devices?"

"Kasumigaseki Guanting Street [-]-Chome - Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare *Intelligence Office!? Is the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Labor behind the promotion of prohibited AI research??"

"Calm down, Amuro-kun. Where is the other one?"

"Very close!" Amuro's breathing could be heard becoming rapid in the communicator. "It's nearby... right here in this parking lot!! I'll try to copy as much of the encrypted data as possible, so hurry back now!"

"That's exactly what I mean." Akai put his hand into his bosom and drew out his weapon.When the door was kicked open, he jumped up and punched the person on the bridge of the nose with his fist.

The wind rushes between the tall steel frame structures like a turbulent current.The petite hero had to bow slightly to steady himself.On the spiral staircase a few meters away from him, a white bird is spreading its wings.

"It turned out that you were the first to be found." Kidd said.

Conan watched him lightly jump down the stairs with a complicated expression.

"Nonata was originally named Noah Tower at the beginning of its construction. Liubai Gaoshou refers to a height of 600 meters. This is basically not a puzzle. The policemen and your fans gathered on the ground right now are all guessing. Has it come out?" The detective calmly explained: "But the reason why you published the notice letter is to let people who know the inside story notice...Nonata happens to be the property of the Quangongsi consortium, and only those who are related to the R&D Nuo Only people behind the scenes related to the Ark Project in Asia understand the deep meaning of the notice letter. They will definitely monitor this place closely, and even send people here to find out what exactly you have grasped."

"So, as soon as I appear, the other party will also make moves." The boy in white looked around as if nothing had happened, knowing that there were surveillance equipment hidden everywhere. "And the data they collected and contacted will start to flow from here to the location of the mastermind behind the scenes. As for finding that location, it is the professional field of those two gentlemen of agents."

He bent down and squatted down, put his hands on his knees, and looked at the serious pupil in front of him.

"What about you, detective? Why are you here?"

"That's what I should ask you."

Kaito rolled his eyes. "Maybe I just want to see you troubled?"

"Hey. I'm serious. Why are you doing this?"

Amidst the sound of the wind, the roar of police helicopters, and the distant din of the city, the two men stared at each other.Until Kidd stood up again and sighed deeply.

"If you want to know, just use your whole life to reason."

Conan looked at his cynical smile, just opened his mouth to say something, and suddenly opened his eyes wide. "Danger!!"

"James, it's me."

"Are you alright Akai-kun?"

"The Izumiguji Group hired a lot of security guards, and I just stretched my muscles." Akai tore off Okiya Subaru's disguise, and flashed to the back of the slope leading to the ground on the first basement floor of the parking lot. "The infiltration was discovered, but we have caught the tail of the high-level shady collusion with Quangong Temple. It is the Minister of Health and Welfare."

"Good job, let's hand it over to the higher-ups, and then it's Game of Thrones. Where's the whereabouts of Noah's Ark?"

"We also found another data stream, and I'm afraid the terminal is Makishima and the North Korean hacker. They should be nearby."

"Those two people betrayed the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Quangong Temple. In order to find a next home, they will also plan to take advantage of this situation. They claim that the Ark AI is almost completed, but they have not released it. They want to use this as a bargaining chip in exchange for safety. Guaranteed." James concluded.

It's a big gamble.For all involved tonight, there is the danger of exposing oneself, and at the same time the opportunity to catch the other.

"Akai-kun, you should find out the location of Noah's Ark terminal as soon as possible, and the whereabouts of Makishima and those two. This time, the FBI must first grasp that AI! I will let Judy and Kamel join you as soon as possible. .”

"Understood." Akai replied formulaically, and hung up the phone.He glanced at the sound of footsteps approaching behind him, while reaching into his pocket for a cigarette case.

"Why don't you wait in the car,... Amuro-kun?"

The sudden sharp pain made his eyes go dark, and some blunt object hit the back of his head heavily.The cigarette case fell to the floor.Akai saw Amuro's looking down face in his suddenly spun vision.

"I said, I want to give you a surprise."

Bourbon's smile is sweet and dangerous.
