People are in reality

Conan is no stranger to Mouri Kogoro. After all, he is the father of his childhood sweetheart Mouri Ran. And based on the hidden emotions in his heart, Conan has also spent some effort to understand Mouri Kogoro before.

Mouri Kogoro claims to be a descendant of the famous Warring States Dynasty Motonari Mouri.

The authenticity is unknown, but his family is relatively well-off.

He went from Teitan Elementary School to Teitan High School.

He and his later wife, Eri, were childhood sweethearts and classmates for many years, and finally entered the school.

After graduating from Umika University, he transferred to the Metropolitan Police Academy.

After graduation, he worked in the Arson Investigation Team of the 1st Investigation Section of the Metropolitan Police Department.

He was later transferred to the 3rd Department of Criminal Investigation Section 1 of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Metropolitan Police Department.

An old subordinate of the police officer.

His resume is considered to be in the standard non-professional group, that is, a police officer who passed the local civil service examination. When Conan was still Kudo Shinichi, he had inquired with Officer Megure and found that in Officer Megure's words, Mouri Kogoro's professional style was not good enough. Extremely good and extremely capable, he can be described as a tough guy among the police.

Every time he talked about it, Officer Megure couldn't help but sigh, saying that if Mouri Kogoro hadn't resigned due to certain things, Moori Kogoro today might be able to be on the same level as him, that is, become a police officer.

But Conan has always had some doubts about this. The reason is very simple. After resigning from the criminal police, Kogoro Mouri became a private detective. He was a sloppy and confused private detective who was drunk every day and whose professional ability was appalling. He doesn't have the so-called heroic demeanor.

However, considering that the business of his detective agency has been bleak for ten years, Mouri Kogoro is still drunk every day, drinking and betting on horses. From this point of view, it is not certain that Mouri Kogoro claims to be a descendant of the famous Warring States Dynasty Motonari Mouri. It's a lie, at least the family is really well-off.

But let’s put these aside. Although Conan is not familiar with the crime-solving process of the New World Line, he can still see the situation clearly. Officer Megure wants to hold back the criminal’s stand-in and is temporarily unable to escape, while Mouri Kogoro loses control as usual, resulting in The situation is relatively troublesome.

Fortunately, due to the expansion of the crime fog, many police officers on standby were also involved. Naturally, they would not let Officer Memu fight alone. They also called out substitutes one after another, and then joined the battle, and it didn't take long. They were kicked out one by one, and finally Officer Megure shouted:

"This criminal's stand-in, blessed by the fog of crime, has been upgraded to C+ and above in destructive power, and may even be B-. Only I can hold him back. You all need to find clues, deduce the truth as soon as possible, and find out the real murderer. , thereby dissolving the fog of crime and weakening the criminal's stand-in……"

Conan's thirst for knowledge suddenly rose. He wanted to know how the attributes of the avatars were classified after the new world line, and what happened to those values.

As a detective, this knowledge is absolutely essential, but he also knows that now is not the time for chatting.

Although the other police officers were beaten away, they were still struggling to get up at this moment, and then they were trying to find clues. Even the onlookers seemed to know the power, and some couldn't sit still. Then the one among the onlookers Mystery enthusiasts who want to learn criminal techniques (!?) even shouted at this moment:

"If the criminal is allowed to become stronger, we will probably all become victims of this shocking murder, so we cannot sit idly by and let the murderer see the character of our Miwa Town people. Let's all work together to help. Go look for clues."

After saying that, the reasoning enthusiast who wanted to learn criminal techniques (!?) rushed out first, and then the onlookers behind him also followed suit. At this moment, Conan noticed some sense of violation!

There seemed to be something wrong with one of them. Conan subconsciously looked around, trying to find the source of the sense of disobedience. When he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he felt a sense of horror coming over him because he saw someone.

The familiar, haunting... pitch-black silhouette!

But when Conan turned his head, the little black guy from Moriarty had disappeared.

Conan didn't doubt whether what he saw was just an illusion, he just murmured in his heart. Author:

"It's Moriarty, no, compared to Moriarty's absolute evil, the little black guy just now is much weaker, but the essence is somewhat the same. What's going on?"

There are more and more mysteries that I don't understand, but this makes Conan's detective soul burn.

Then he follows the trend and takes action.

Although there is no substitute, if he just looks for clues, Conan has a lot of confidence in his own mind and his own. His eyes were still a bit conceited, but at this moment, the big black spider suddenly screamed sharply:

"You can never expect to find the truth and then completely become food for my evolution and sublimation in this blade lair.……"

The big black spider waved its arms and legs, and in an instant, the vague fog of crime floating on the thirteenth floor moved with it, turning into ripples and spreading. Then, Conan felt that the world was spinning for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the surrounding scenery had changed..

In the dim light, chaotic corridors intertwined to form a strange maze. The office doors with house numbers turning into question marks were messily embedded in the corridors. The atmosphere of danger was filled with them, but there was no one around Conan. No one but himself

"Hey, are the criminals in the sixth world line a bit outrageous? Their substitute ability can actually change the space. This is much stronger than the substitute ability in the fifth world line!"

Conan couldn't help complaining, but then he felt helpless, because now, let alone the average level of the Sixth World Line, he was completely at the level of the Fourth World Line!

As a disabled mortal who was two versions behind, he faced In this era of super-human substitutes for the Sixth World Line, it is impossible not to feel helpless.

However, the magic dice is thrown by oneself, and the Sixth World Line is born in response to one's own desires. So, no matter how difficult the reality is, Conan will be there. All they can do is grit their teeth and deal with it. After all, even if Conan regrets and wants to start over, the magic dice will not know where it went.

The only thing Conan can feel lucky about is that in the fifth world line, he After all, he was the man who became the crime king Moriarty. Even though the time was not that long, there was still something magical about him that survived the changes in the world line, and his keen insight into the aura of crime remained in this child's body. The first and second is the perception of danger, or murderous intent!

Some of the office doors embedded in the chaotic corridors more or less exude murderous intent. They are obviously traps. In order to verify that my perception is correct. Conan mustered up the courage to open a door with the least murderous intent.

Sure enough, a lot of spider silk suddenly shot out from behind the door. If Conan hadn't been prepared and jumped away when he opened the door, he would have been covered in spider silk by now. Conan checked it and found that the spider silk was not ordinary. It was inlaid with some blades. If it was wrapped, it would be bloody when it struggled. Then Conan showed a thoughtful expression:

"Are nets and knives, these overly obvious features, related to the murderer’s killing methods?"

Keeping his guess in mind, Conan continued to run through the chaotic corridors, constantly opening the non-dangerous office doors, looking for possible clues. However, many times, behind the office door, there was just another chaotic corridor and the same... Countless doors.

Conan didn't know how big the maze space was built by the criminal's stand-in ability. He just kept running.

After a while, after approaching a certain area, Conan felt vaguely and suddenly turned his head to look. , I found a door embedded in the floor, which was glowing with fluorescence at this moment.

How can I put it, just like an RPG game, the key interactive mechanism glowed brightly to tell the player that this is a plot trigger. point

"In this new world line, this is the only setting I like better, it is easy enough!"

Conan didn't hesitate, opened the door embedded in the floor, and jumped in.

After jumping in, what came into view was an office that was not particularly big, but was fairly luxuriously decorated. It should be the president's office.

At the end of the office, the black-hearted president was leaning on the boss's chair with blood dripping from his body. Even without getting closer and checking, Conan knew that the black-hearted president was probably dead from the knife wound that almost completely cut off his neck, as well as the wounds on the ground. The large amount of blood can already be concluded as fatal from a medical point of view.

There is no doubt that this is the scene of the first crime. The clues should exist here. Conan went over and tried to find it. After getting closer, the dead black-hearted president suddenly moved. At this moment, Conan felt that his hair was standing on end. He subconsciously thought that in addition to the setting of universal substitutes, the Sixth World Line also innovatively added supernatural thrillers.

But fortunately, Conan's conjecture did not come true. The black-hearted president did not transform into a corpse. He just slowly raised his hand in a weird posture, as if there was an invisible hand, lifting him The hands of the black-hearted president were stained with blood on the desk, and he slowly wrote:

"My murderer is……"

This turned out to be a death message. Although Conan was in shock, he still subconsciously held his breath and watched. Then he discovered that when President Blackheart wrote the word"yes", he stopped writing it.

"Hey, hey, hey, who is the murderer? Can you finish writing it thoroughly? Do you know that you can easily get beaten if you do this?……"

Even though Conan is so rational, he can't help but get a little furious!

The next moment, next to the dead Black Heart President, a vague shadow slowly turned from virtual to solid, but it was a human-shaped pig with a fat head and big ears, showing a greedy look. However, this human-shaped pig was covered in... The injury was more severe than that of President Blackheart, but his expression seemed to be very calm. Then this human-shaped pig took a deep look at Conan and then slowly dissipated!

But before it dissipated, Conan inexplicably understood a lot of things through their eyes, as if this human-shaped pig was narrating it in an indescribable spiritual language. this���The shaped pig is the stand-in for this black-hearted president!

When the murderer attacked, even though the avatar tried its best to fight, it was still unable to match the murderer's power and was defeated. Then its host was also killed, and the avatar also died at that moment.

It's just that the death of a substitute is a little different from that of a substitute messenger. Unless the murderer possesses special power and deliberately adds more damage, there will be a continuous dissipation process and the death will not be so fast.

Friends who often kill people will know that killing people and completely destroying the body after killing are two different difficulties and concepts.

The murderer did not have such special power and skills. In addition, he was planning a serial murder case and was pressed for time. Therefore, he left immediately after the successful attack and seized the time to carry out the next murder. And this was Give this stand-in some chances.

The door that continues to highlight and bloom with fluorescence is not a natural setting. It is just a mark given by the dissipating substitute. The purpose is to let the detective or police discover him as soon as possible.

Then, the death message left by President Black Heart was also made by this substitute.

However, in this barrier shrouded in crime fog, everything is biased towards the murderer. Even if this stand-in uses up all its remaining power, it cannot break through the blockade of crime fog and tell the truth directly.

But just because you can't say it directly doesn't mean you can't do something.

After the substitute completely dissipated, Conan lowered his head and found that although the black-hearted president had not finished writing the death message, the hand he used to write the death message made a special gesture, with his little finger and thumb.���It is tilted up, and the three middle fingers are contracted, vaguely showing a"six" or"goat head" posture, which hints at the identity of the murderer.

If you ask why Conan is so sure that this gesture hints at the identity of the murderer, rather than a naturally stiff posture in the middle of writing a death message, the reason is very simple, because the right hand of the black-hearted president is blooming with a faint fluorescence at this moment.

Just like the door, I was afraid that others wouldn't notice it, so I specially added a highlight sign to indicate that this is the core plot trigger point.

Conan felt a little complicated because he couldn't help but remember that when he was still Kudo Shinichi, in the various cases he solved, the victims left various death information. If there hadn't been a substitute at that time, Conan would have doubted those deaths. All the information is provided by a substitute.

But no matter what, the key clues were obtained.

Then, Conan fell into thinking.

Before being led into the maze of murderous corridors by the murderer's substitute power, he once felt a sense of disobedience from someone, and then, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Hei.

Conan's intuition came into play, and he vaguely integrated the two elements of the sense of violation and Xiao Hei, and then came to a conclusion.

The murderer hidden among the crowd existed in the form of Xiao Hei, making his presence difficult to identify. Then at that moment, he made some special actions, which caused Conan to subconsciously feel that something was wrong. who's that person?

What did he do at that time?

What does the death information left by this black-hearted president’s stand-in point to?

One mystery after another lingers in Conan's mind, and he uses logic as a weapon to solve them.

The first thing to solve is the first problem!

That mystery enthusiast (!?) who wants to study criminal methods is very suspicious!

What was suspicious was that the onlookers actually wanted to hide at that moment, but he was encouraging everyone to come together. If this can be explained by the fact that he is a super reasoning maniac, then when he took the lead and led the charge , and rushed towards Officer Megure, which was a bit difficult to explain.

Are there any clues to Officer Memu? Moreover, it was Officer Memu who shouted not to come over and still rushed there. Wasn't suspicion coming?

But these reasons can only be used as the basis for speculation and suspicion, and are somewhat reluctant to be used as evidence. Maybe the reasoning enthusiast thinks that he is the protagonist, or has special stand-in abilities, and plans to rush in and blow up the criminal's stand-in?

Conan could only think further about what the gestures like"six" and"sheep's head" left by the black-hearted president's stand-in pointed to.

The brain is moving at high speed, and sparks of wisdom are bursting out.

But at this moment, a spiritual light suddenly flashed over Conan's head.

Then Conan was hit hard and fell to the ground suddenly. When he got up, he covered his head and grimaced in pain.

Then he turned around and saw that a spiritual light, like a light pipe, had fallen to the ground. It was this thing that hit Conan on the head just now.

Conan looked up and didn't know where this thing fell. Then he walked over and picked up the spiritual light pillar. Then some unknown knowledge suddenly appeared in his mind.

【The Legion of Six Six Six Beasts: It is a secret criminal association in Yoneka Town. It is said that the purpose of its organization is to resurrect a certain legendary existence. The crime style is quite special. The slogan is We are the group, we are the public, we are the others. That is a large group of beasts……】

Conan couldn't help but tilt his head. He really didn't understand where this thing came from and why it contained such popular science knowledge.

But no matter what, this thing came just in time!

It was as if when he was still Kudo Shinichi, when he was in trouble when reasoning, he would always get information that he didn't know originally from other people's careless words, and then he would suddenly have an idea and get key inspiration.

And the knowledge carried by this spiritual light pillar happened to play a similar role.

However, Conan vaguely felt that this thing should have other uses.

But now is not the time to explore these. After the suspect and his criminal motive have been identified, the next step is to deduce his modus operandi.

Conan observed the death of the black-hearted president, and then diligently observed all the details of the crime scene.

Although Conan also knew that the possibility of killing this black-hearted president was due to the murderer's stand-in ability, he also knew that when people pass by, they leave traces, and when a bird passes by, it leaves a voice. Even if it is a stand-in ability, as long as the murderer appears at the scene, it will definitely... Leaving clues and revealing a lot of information.

After observing for a while, Conan discovered that perhaps the murderer relied too much on the substitute's ability, which resulted in too much information being exposed when implementing his specific criminal plan.
