Chapter 67: Very scientific, very rational, and bad
Gin's voice was stuck for three seconds.
After a while, he said in a difficult voice: "You just said that you received a text message?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Lie asked curiously.
Gin held his forehead weakly, "...No, I mean, what did you use to receive the text message?"
Lie said normally: "Mobile phone."
Gin: "..."
Is he wrong or is the world wrong?
Gin took a look at the mobile phone he was using to make a call and was absolutely sure that it did not yet have the function of sending text messages.
He silently asked his friend a question: "Then why didn't you text me?"
"Ah?" Lie was stunned for a moment, and answered as a matter of course, "Because your phone can't send or receive text messages, big brother."
"…Then do you think it's reasonable for your phone to be able to send and receive text messages?"
Gin glanced out the window and really wanted to jump out to see if he was living in a dream.
Is this world really material?
He was curious.
On the phone, Lie was already a little unconfident because of his questioning, and he stammered, "Then, should, be normal?"
"…When will your phone be able to receive text messages? And what kind of phone is it? How big is it?"
Gin took out a small notebook with only a few pages left, opened it to a new page, and grabbed the pen, ready to start.
"Today..." Lie's voice was a little weak. "What does it look like? It's a rectangle, with slightly curved edges, 12 buttons... a little smaller than the palm of your hand, right?"
Gin: "..."
today?
Is Lie out of his mind? He suddenly changed the type of mobile phone and didn't think there was anything wrong?
Gin asked another question: "What year is it today?"
Lie replied without hesitation: "91."
Well, the time is right.
Can……
Gin looked at the drawing of the mobile phone on the notebook, and compared it with the size of the mobile phone.
Lie’s phone should be an elderly phone… the rounder type.
"So, you still think there's no problem?" Gin rubbed his eyebrows.
It is confirmed that Conan's world is definitely not material.
"But... the policeman's phone is similar to mine, except it's a flip phone..."
Gin: "..."
Wow, flip phones are out?
There is a difference of more than ten years between them!
"…Forget it, you can ask other people if it's normal next time. I'm tired anyway."
strong:"……?"
What happened to big brother?
After hanging up the phone, Gin continued to read his emails with a look of despair.
Other people can send text messages on their mobile phones, but he can’t.
...But why?
Why did such a huge gap suddenly appear?
While Gin was reading the email, a possibility suddenly popped into his mind, and he drew Lie's daytime schedule on the notebook.
"Rei only changed today... That is to say, when he was in Yokohama, his phone should have been the same as mine." Gin wrote down his thoughts, "So the problem only appeared after he came to Tokyo, and the only person who had direct contact with Rei was that policeman..."
So, could it be that the changes in the phone were caused by the police?
“…It’s still a little bit outrageous.”
Gin poked his forehead with a pen.
He remembered the smartphone in Scotland's pocket last time...
Only Shuichi Akai and Bourbon were present at the time, but Shuichi Akai didn't have a mobile phone at that time, and only Bourbon had one. However, Bourbon was never seen taking it out to look at it later.
So, could Bourbon's phone at that time also be a smartphone? ?
...Forget it, why should he consider issues related to the non-material world?
But Gin always felt that he was only a thin film away from the truth, and he could solve the case as long as he found that needle...
Gin: "..."
Could it be that his Alzheimer's disease has come back and he has forgotten some key points?
Well, it seems I need to buy some herbs to boil to nourish my brain...
Originally, Gin had finished all his work at around five o'clock and planned to catch up on a few hours of sleep.
But I lost all my sleepiness due to two strange cell phone incidents...
In the end, Gin stayed up all night.
Staying up all night is the norm - self-comfort from gin.
-
However, in addition to Gin, there were several other people who spent the entire evening with heavy hearts on their minds.
Rice flower market.
A man vented his anger in an apartment building:
"Damn it! Damn it! Those cowardly and incompetent policemen... Why didn't they explode? Why!"
He clearly placed a bomb in the hospital, why didn't it explode?! And no police came over!
The sinister man vented his anger all night and pondered for a long time, but he didn't know why. He just swore secretly in his heart that he would blow up those policemen next time.
……
Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
The only people left in the Metropolitan Police Department were those on duty...
However, considering the number of cases in Tokyo, working all night is the norm - a helpless confession from Metropolitan Police Department officers.
Search for a lesson.
Although all the police officers who were on duty all night were tired, their faces were filled with joy from top to bottom.
How could they not be happy? When had they successfully prevented a bombing like they did yesterday? And there were no casualties at all. Their superiors had already singled them out for praise.
However, there was only one person who had a depressed look between his brows and no happy emotion on his face. He was looking at the computer seriously.
It was Jinpei Matsuda.
"I'm talking to you... You've been looking so sad the whole night." His partner, Sato Miwako, was also working overtime and came over with a cup of coffee. "Why are you still crying when the case has been solved? Here, coffee."
"Thanks."
Matsuda Jinpei took the coffee and took a sip, his eyes still serious, and said to Sato Miwako:
"We just prevented the explosion... but the criminal hasn't been found yet, right? So the case is far from being solved..."
Sato Miwako's expression was somewhat helpless, "That's true..."
But the criminal is so cunning that it is too difficult to find him.
"Besides, I won't be able to rest easy until the man with the helmet is found."
Jinpei Matsuda put out his cigarette and stared at the screened member information with a serious expression.
"But, at least that guy helped us dismantle the bomb. Maybe he's a good guy?"
Miwako Sato tried to comfort.
Consolation failed.
Matsuda Jinpei shook his head and said, "He's definitely not a good guy... His purpose in taking the bomb is unknown. He may be another criminal."
Although there was no evidence, he just had this hunch.
Moreover, it is illegal to privately possess explosives.
"And, didn't you see it? He jumped off the Ferris wheel, which was over 70 meters high, and basically fell to the ground at the speed of a free fall. He actually escaped into the crowd like nothing happened..."
Matsuda Jinpei took a deep breath and said, "This person is too dangerous."
Later, he used some tricks to try to trick the person out, but unfortunately he failed.
Trying to find this person is like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is extremely difficult.
Sato Miwako: "..."
Why didn't she feel any threat from that person?
Could it be that Matsuda was angry out of shame?
Hey! Hey! (﹃)
