PNB Chapter 105 Start the Game
Chapter 105 Start the Game
Originally, Xia Xi was planning to arrange a bodyguard for Jiancun to stop Xindora when he was about to attack him.
But then I thought, if Sindola didn't succeed, then given the other party's ability, he probably wouldn't be punished, and it shouldn't be a problem to find a professional lawyer to get rid of the crime. But it would be more troublesome to get Sindola company later.
Well, the best scenario is that Sindorra did take action, and Jiancun survived just by luck. This would make it more difficult for him to escape the crime, and would also make it easier for Ningguang to obtain ownership of Sindorra Company later on.
At this time, the "Cocoon" press conference began, and Yusaku Kudo and Dr. Agasa made a shining appearance together.
Conan was speechless when he saw his father surrounded by female fans at the scene. Really, he just wanted to reminisce with his father and exchange information, but now it seems that he is not available.
Dr. Agasa also took the time to give Conan the badge for participating in the game and told him the background of the game.
Before the game officially started, the organizer turned off the lights to demonstrate the function of "Cocoon".
Meanwhile, in the basement.
With a panicked look on her face, Sindora opened the door to the basement and met Jiancun who was waiting there.
The two chatted for a few words, and when Jiancun turned around to retrieve the information, Sindora took out a knife from behind and stabbed it accurately into Jiancun's chest, and then implanted a virus in the computer in an attempt to destroy all traces.
Then he took out a tissue to wipe the blood off the knife, put the knife away and left the room.
Seeing that Sindora had left, Xinhai of the Coral Palace, who was hiding in the corner of the basement, used the "Oath of Sea and Moon" to hold on to Jiancun's life. After notifying Ningguang, he also left the scene.
Not long after, Inspector Megure came to the basement after receiving a report, followed by Conan and Kogoro Mouri, who guessed something had happened when they saw Inspector Megure.
Inspector Megure looked at the outgoing Kogoro Mouri with a half-moon look, but after thinking for a moment, he thought that the subsequent solving of the case might depend on him, so he did not drive him out, so even Conan was successfully kept.
Officer Megure began to get clues from the reporter: "So, it was you, Miss Ningguang, who reported the case? What was the specific situation at that time?"
Ningguang calmly answered Officer Megure's question: "I asked the staff, and they said they saw Jiancun coming to the basement, so I came here to look for him. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Jiancun collapsed in front of the computer. I went forward to check on the situation and found that he was still breathing, so I quickly called an ambulance and the police."
Officer Megure: "So what's the matter with you suddenly looking for Jiancun?"
Ningguang: "Actually, it wasn't me who was looking for Jiancun, it was Nashida. When we were in Country M, Nashida and Jiancun had a good relationship. Jiancun once said that when he saw Nashida, he thought of his own children, so he always took good care of Nashida. This time, after seeing the success of the "Cocoon" project, Nashida wanted to personally congratulate Jiancun, so she asked me to bring her to Jiancun."
Conan couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "Nashida, you know Miss Ningguang. Could it be that when Sister Xia Xi said you were a friend of a friend's child, the "friend" she was referring to was Miss Ningguang?"
Nashida: "No, in a sense, Miss Ningguang and I have nothing to do with each other."
"It doesn't matter. Then why is it you, Miss Ningguang, who is taking care of Nashida? Where are her relatives?" Inspector Megure was a little confused when he heard this.
Some time ago at the crime scene, he occasionally saw this child with Xia Xi or the children of the Junior Detective Team, but he didn't expect that she was also related to Miss Ningguang.
Ningguang explained: "Nashida is actually a friend of my elders."
"Friends of the elders?!" everyone was surprised.
"Well, if I were to describe it in one word... it would be... friendship regardless of age difference?" Ningguang hesitated and said an adjective. "Nashida doesn't have many relatives now. She was picked up by a few arrogant old men. They just wanted to use Nashida's abilities and weren't nice to her. Later, Xia Xi found out and brought Nashida out, so they have such a good relationship. In fact, my elder knew Nashida, so he asked me to take care of her for a while. And Nashida is very smart and helped me a lot."
Inspector Megure: “So that’s how it is.”
After Inspector Megure questioned Nashida and confirmed Ningguang's words, he basically gave up the suspicion that Ningguang committed the crime.
After understanding the situation, Conan also began to collect clues in other places at the crime scene.
Suddenly, Conan noticed the message left by Jiancun on the keyboard - J T R. He immediately remembered what Dr. Agasa had told him before, that the game was set in London in the late nineteenth century, and immediately rushed to the venue to queue up for the game.
Ningguang also noticed the message left by Jiancun. Seeing Conan's actions, she smiled meaningfully.
It seems that I have accidentally misled these detectives this time. The background of this "Cocoon" game has nothing to do with the information left by Jiancun.
This time they just wanted Hiroki to play a good game with the other kids, and as for the rest, just leave it to them.
Yusaku Kudo, who arrived later, understood Conan's intention and explained to Inspector Megure that the three letters written by Kenmura were the abbreviations of Jack the Ripper, the killer who appeared in the "Cocoon" game. Therefore, there should be important clues to this case in the game.
Ningguang and Nashida listened quietly to Kudo Yusaku's explanation without interrupting.
At this time, the children of the Junior Detective Team have also exchanged their treasured Kamen Rider cards for game badges according to the method that Mitsuhiko came up with. And Sonoko also gave her badge to Xiaolan, and Xiaolan was able to participate in the game with Xia Xi and the children of the Junior Detective Team.
Not long after everyone entered the game, the artificial intelligence "Noah's Ark" appeared and announced that it had controlled the operating system of "Cocoon", and threatened to play a game with everyone - if anyone can pass the game, then he will give up, if not, he will release electromagnetic waves to destroy the brains of all players and let Japan start all over again.
The crowd outside started talking about it when they heard that their children were in danger, and Inspector Megure had a hard time calming them down.
The urgent task now is to find a way to stop the game.
Inspector Megure asked Dr. Agasa and Ningguang who were also involved in the development of the "Cocoon" project, but to his disappointment, both of them said that the core code of the "Cocoon" project was currently controlled by "Noah's Ark" and they had no way to stop now.
Fortunately, Dr. Agasa said that he had a way to contact the people in the game and could tell Conan and the others how to pass the game.
