Chapter 72: The murderous intent in the message

"what--"

The little girl's hysterical scream successfully attracted Qinghai Chuantang.

When I got closer, I found that they were the children of the young detectives.

Even though he has experienced many cases and even seen many corpses, he is still so easily frightened.

"This big sister's wallet was right in her hand, but none of the money inside was taken away. How strange!"

Looking at the evil hand that Yuan Tai stretched out, Qinghai Chuantang lifted him off the ground and put him aside.

"It's fine if you kids showed up at a murder scene, but at least don't destroy the scene at will, right?"

"Sister Xiaotang?"

After seeing who was coming, Yuantai looked unhappy. After all, he didn't want others to treat him like a child.

"I'm just helping to find clues. And if you want to say it's sabotage, Conan has already finished looking and left."

After saying that, Genta pointed in the direction Conan left, and only saw his back.

"You guys stay here and don't run around."

Having said that, Qinghai Chuantang hurriedly chased after him.

The deceased, Noriie Kodama, 37 years old, worked as a temporary salesperson in a supermarket.

Judging from the body, the time of death was around 3 pm, and no murder weapon was found nearby.

Judging from the current time, the murderer can't get far.

And according to the first discoverer's account, he bumped into a man in camouflage clothes when he passed by, and there was something red on his hands.

Then he would definitely want to destroy the evidence now.

Sure enough, Conan found a man wearing a camouflage jacket with the hood on his head next to the washbasin in a nearby park.

"Hey, big brother."

The man paused, lifted a corner with one hand, and looked at the little boy who spoke.

"Why is there something red on your hand? Could it be blood?"

When the man heard this, he ran away immediately, as if he was afraid that his deeds would be exposed.

Just when he had run a few steps, a woman suddenly appeared and stopped him.

"Why are you running? Are you feeling guilty?"

Ishizuka Nobuhiko did not answer, but took out a knife from his pocket and stabbed the other person.

His movements were so large that his whole body leaned forward.

Qinghai Chuantang grabbed his hand, knocked the blade out of his hand, and then tied his hands behind his back.

"This is considered a red-handed criminal."

"Wait, wait! I didn't do anything!"

Ishizuka Nobuhiko tried hard to explain something.

"Since you didn't do anything, why are you running? You know, if you just test it, you can tell whether it's the victim's blood or not."

"I, I" Ishizuka Nobuhiko hesitated, as if he was thinking about how to make up a lie.

Then he said: "I was just passing by and happened to be walking nearby."

"I found the body and was shocked. Then I accidentally fell and got blood on my hands, so I wanted to find a place to wash it off."

I'm afraid even a three-year-old child wouldn't choose to believe this clumsy lie?
Conan's look of "I've seen through your lies" made Ishizuka Nobuhiko inexplicably feel an invisible pressure, and he couldn't help swallowing.

"In fact, you were the one who killed that person, right? That's why you ran away in such a panic."

"No!" Ishizuka Nobuhiko retorted, "Because someone asked me to go to that place at 3 o'clock this afternoon."

Conan held a handkerchief and a bloody blade in his hand.

"I found this knife in the bushes over there. But since he dared to throw the knife there so brazenly, it means that the fingerprints on it have not been wiped off."

"And at that exact time, you were the only one here. So, this knife is the weapon you used to kill that sister, right?"

When Ishizuka Nobuhiko heard this, he quickly defended himself.

"No! I don't know what happened at all, and I don't even know who that woman is! I just got tricked!"

Got cheated?
After Nobuhiko Ishizuka's explanation, I finally understood the cause and process of the incident.

On a forum on the dark web, he saw a post: Please kill anyone who passes by Moriyu Ginza Lane 5 at 3 pm on the 9th. The reward is very high.

However, when Nobuhiko Ishizuka took out his mobile phone to prove that he was not lying, the website magically disappeared, leaving only the words "This website does not exist".

Conan looked at him and said very seriously: "Brother, lying is not a good habit!"

"I'm not lying! When I went there, several people passed by me. They must have seen the website just like me!"

Including Nobuhiko Ishizuka, there are a total of six suspects.

No matter whether it is the client or the client, anyone can browse the website because it is anonymous.

If the message is sent from a foreign network server, the Japanese police will not be able to intervene in the investigation.

After the police arrived and took away Ishizuka Nobuhiko, Conan touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

The other children from the Junior Detective Team also rushed here after hearing the news.

"Conan!"

After Yuan Tai ran up to him, he put his hands on his hips and said in a somewhat blaming tone: "Conan, you are such a jerk. You never take us with you. The Junior Detective Team belongs to everyone, not just you!"

"I'm sorry, I was just too impatient for the moment."

Conan smiled awkwardly and quickly waved his hands to indicate that he did not mean it, hoping to calm the other party's anger.

Of course, Yuantai was not angry at all, he just felt a little unhappy.

Qinghai Chuantang put his hands in his pockets, bent over and looked at them and said, "Now that the murderer has been caught, can you kids go home obediently?"

"Not at all!"

Ayumi looked into her eyes and said with certainty, "That person must not be the murderer!"

Mitsuhiko explained: "In the past, when we encountered a case, it would always take a lot of twists and turns and a lot of time before we found the real murderer."

"And this time we found him so easily. Based on our past experience, that person must not be the murderer!"

Then why didn’t you discover Conan’s “Death God” physique?

Qinghai Chuantang complained silently in his heart, then straightened up and said, "You kids, if you like playing detective games so much, then go for it."

"Eh? Sister Xiaotang won't join us in finding the murderer?"

Ayumi said with some confusion.

Qinghai Chuantang smiled and said, "I'm not a detective. I'm not interested in this kind of detective game."

"But if you want to find the murderer, please do your best. With the advancement of technology, maybe the murderer is actually an AI."

After saying that, Qinghai Chuantang waved to them and left the park.

Ayumi looked confused: "What is AI?"

“AI stands for artificial intelligence.”

Ai Huihara explained: "With the development and progress of technology and the times, computer science has also reached a whole new field."

"AI can not only be used to control home appliances, but also to simulate real-life chess games. The most famous one is a robot called 'Alpha Go' in the Go game."

"It defeated a professional human Go player, becoming the 'first artificial intelligence to defeat the Go world champion'."

Messages were posted online to attract people who were unaware of the truth and greedy for money.

The purpose is just to confuse the public and create obstacles to distract the police.

The person who actually killed Xiaoyu Noriie was actually the client himself.

There is no surveillance in the alley, but there is one at the exit.

In order to avoid being arrested, the murderer will definitely make a careful plan, so he will not choose a place where there are cameras.

Then the remaining six suspects could not be the murderer of Kodama Noriie.

"Ms. Tang, do you want to ask about the deceased? Of course you can."

"The deceased asked for leave from the company on the grounds of being unwell, and then changed into nice clothes."

"According to our inquiries to colleagues at the company, it seems that she was going on a date with a man, but they didn't know his name either."

"When a colleague asked about it, Ze Hui would just say 'it's a secret'. Other than that, eh? Miss Tang?"

Gao Mu looked around but didn't see the other person.

After returning home, Qinghai Chuantang used technology to restore the message on the website, and the information on it was almost the same as what Ishizuka Nobuhiko said.

When she searched for the network terminal that sent this browsing message, she found that it was sent by countless overseas servers, which did not seem to be something that humans could do.

"Could it be that what I just said casually at that time really hit the mark?"

Qinghai Chuantang muttered to himself, continuing to pursue clues with some hopelessness.

Sure enough, a major discovery was made.

She paused and smiled: Although the message was sent from a foreign server, the source of the signal was a logistics company.

The logistics transportation network of a certain logistics company covers the whole country.

In order to rationally utilize the logistics network, a nationwide automatic distribution system was developed using artificial intelligence.

Consumers' purchasing desire and traffic conditions on transportation routes can be predicted based on local weather.

Of course, there are other functions besides these, which are even more user-friendly to meet the needs of different customers.

It is precisely because of the help of this artificial intelligence that the convenience store’s turnover is much higher than before.

"In order to develop artificial intelligence that is closely related to human life, we deliberately designed it to be able to digitize and store human emotions."

"It can sense the other person's emotions and act according to its own judgment. In a sense, AI has the same emotions as humans."

Riko Takayama smiled and introduced them to the company's artificial intelligence system - Char.

And why them?

Speaking of which, Qinghai Chuantang feels a bit hard to describe.

I never expected that Dr. Agasa had some connection with this place.

And it just so happened that Conan used his powerful reasoning to analyze the location.

So, several children from the Junior Detective Team followed Dr. Agasa's name and came to a logistics company with the purpose of "visiting in name but actually gathering information".

However, when they arrived, except for Conan and Haibara Ai, it really became a "visit".
