Chapter 167
Ever since Conan can remember, he has known that all fields related to crime and criminal investigation in this world are extremely popular.
The specific reason is unknown, but there seems to be no room or room for discussion on such a matter of course.
His father, Kudo Yusaku, relied on mystery novels and the signature IP of Phantom Thief Night Baron to become a world-famous and household name super writer. He even pushed the career of his wife Kudo Yukiko to a higher level, which is evident from this.
And because of this, certain concepts, such as the"perfect crime", are also quite popular and popular. Many mystery novelists and even many real-life criminals are keen to realize this.
Conan is so familiar with it that he often encounters it when he solves crimes, so he is certainly no stranger to perfect crimes.
The so-called perfect crime is difficult to say and easy to say.
Because the perfect crime is essentially just a concept, and there are many types of specific practices and realizations. The first type is that the murderer will try his best to hide the case and let the victim die as if it was an accident, or simply let the victim live without seeing the person die. Without seeing the body, there is no way to investigate.
On this planet, there are up to three million people who disappear inexplicably every year. This is compiled by the United Nations based on existing information from various countries. Those who do not care about the people and ignore the officials will not appear in this statistics at all.
Where have these people gone without seeing their bodies, and how many cases and murderers are hidden behind them? These are the eternal unknown mysteries of human history.
In a sense, this is the most perfect crime, because no one knows about it, and naturally there is no way to detect it.
But success depends on it, and failure depends on it. Whether this type of so-called perfect crime can succeed often depends only on the stability and instability of society and the current situation, as well as the adequacy of judicial power.
For example, in a small country, warlords attack each other, and anti-official armed forces emerge one after another.
In many police stations in those places, there are only a few old, weak, sick and disabled people.
They can register the report information, which is considered very responsible.
They are no longer responsible for solving the case.
It's time to take care of things.
The so-called unsolved cases are sometimes not so unsolved.
They just know it well and don't bother to take care of it.
The second type is that the murderer will not hide the case, but will use some simple and crude methods to make the case difficult to detect even though it is clear. Or, for example, the unsolved cases caused by various roving crimes are common in countries around the world. There are many cases in the case library. In the early years, the case detection rate in many developed countries remained at around 30%-50% for a long time, which is very illustrative of the problem.
Or, try to exploit legal loopholes, or find ways to reach a PY deal with the judiciary.
The most famous one is the ogre in Neon, who killed and ate his victims in foreign countries. Finally, he relied on the power and financial resources of his family to bridge all the relationships. He stayed there for more than ten months and then came out. He wrote eighteen books about his experience of killing and cannibalism. He also made movies and appeared on cooking variety shows. He was regarded as the king of ogres by perverts around the world, and finally lived until his death.
Of course, things like offending a big shot and being shot in the back more than a dozen times and being determined to be suicide by the investigators can also be considered this category, but they are particularly despicable. To say it is a crime is an insult to the word crime, and it makes those who rack their brains and How embarrassing it is for criminals who are fighting wits and bravery among the judicial agencies.
The third type is that after the murderer committed the crime, he relied on fancy tricks to try to get away with it!
Various secret room murder cases, murder cases in the name of gods and ghosts, or cases that are framed by tricks and framed to blame others, are mostly of this type.
Most of the cases that Conan has personally investigated in the past are also of this type.
, and this kind of so-called perfect crime often cannot withstand scrutiny.
As long as the police officers handling the case do not want to rush to the end of the matter and do a little digging to dig out the details and investigate to death, the criminal tricks of the murderers will be exposed.
, it is basically impossible to escape the law.
Because of this, Conan has always believed that perfect crimes are impossible. Even the first two types are not unsolvable as cases themselves, but they face different obstacles and problems.
But the perfect crime created by the old man now is different from the previous three types!
The real murderer is dead, and only the blessings condensed by thoughts and the curses transformed by wishes are left, creating a sustainable mechanism that spreads like a meme to survive and become the core of the case.
The murderer's body and soul are dead, but the case will live forever. In this case, everyone is a murderer who is driven and blessed by the mark, but they are also victims who are bound by the curse.
Conan knew all the causes and consequences, as well as the entire process of the crime. The truth of everything was so clear, but he didn't know how to solve this case.
If the old man had done his best to sublimate the riot case into a perfect criminal version of the riot case, everything could still be undone, but now it is too late.
From the moment of birth, the blood oath mark that spontaneously existed and spread without the subject of the old man has been deeply rooted in the group and social phenomenon of"tramps".
Well, to say that there is absolutely no way to completely detect and defeat this case is actually not entirely true.
In fact, when Ichigo Kurosaki said he could help him suppress the entire Neon, Conan seriously considered it for a moment.
Because Conan's astonishing reasoning wisdom is comparable to Kurosaki Ichigo's astonishing martial arts wisdom, at that moment it was confirmed that this was actually the only credible way to solve the case.
As a weak ordinary detective, he is helpless in the face of this case that has escalated from a shocking level to a catastrophic level.
But if you are in charge of earthly political power, all laws will be used for your own use.
There are 300,000 police officers across the country.
Following the orders and fully cooperating with various government agencies, Conan was confident that this world-shaking case would rise from a world-shattering level to a catastrophic level, and he would not even be able to get out of Miwa Town, so he would kill it directly from the front and turn it into rubbish.
But after thinking about it, Conan felt a little confused!
Although Kudo Yusaku taught Conan some political knowledge about governing the country when he was in Hawaii.
However, this knowledge is still a bit far away from the realization that the country will be able to provide for the elderly, provide comfort for those who are poor, and no longer have homeless people as a group and social phenomenon.
Moreover, relying on the unparalleled iron fist of aliens to usurp national power is somewhat unfair. Under the current international situation, it has far-reaching consequences and will cause a series of unpredictable events.
If he really does this, the end result will most likely be that Conan will stand on the beach, look in the direction of America, and then whisper deeply that there are enemies on the other side of the sea, and then let the Giant of Light attack again and launch a war. Blitz America and start a super-earth war to scare the world.
This picture was too beautiful and too abstract. At that moment, when Conan's reasoning reached this point, he took the initiative to stop his thinking!
Although this idea of solving the case was rejected by Conan himself, Conan's pattern and ideas were opened up.
If you are unable to hold the power of the world and fight this catastrophic case, then stepping into the other side and using the power of darkness to intervene is also a way of thinking.
In the name of the winery, Conan’s spirit and will,���The skull and animal head mark that symbolized the root of the case issued a request for"negotiation."
This is not an empty request. At this moment, Conan's spirit and will are trying their best to imitate Gin.
Maybe it's because the undercover agent has been around Gin these days and has many speculations about him, or maybe it's because he personally experienced everything about Gin in the previous world line.
Or perhaps earlier, the traces left at the end and beginning of all cause and effect.
No matter what, Conan successfully simulated the unique smell of gin.
That was the ultimate killing intent!
But unlike Mao Lilan's violent murderous intention to kill his enemies and himself, Gin's murderous intention is as cold as ice, as hard as iron, and has an indescribable"weight"!
In reality, Gin, who was still driving to Mikka Town, seemed to notice something at this moment, but he didn't say anything and just closed his eyes slightly.
And at this moment, Conan's simulation went deeper and deeper. Faintly, in this illusory and illusory blood oath mark space, a man wearing a black windbreaker and silver hair reaching his waist slowly appeared behind Conan's spiritual will. , like a stand-in, raised his gun, pointed at the skull and beast head mark, and declared his will with unparalleled killing intent.
"Friend or enemy, choose!"
If we don't pay attention to solving the case, but only pay attention to efficient action, then no matter how brutal this catastrophe is, Gin, as the Saint of Killing, still has the possibility of killing everything and ending everything, but Conan is unwilling to do so.
Conan The ultimate purpose of simulating Gin's murderous intent was not to intimidate him.
The last battle in the previous world line still left a deep impression on Conan.
Gin, with his silver hair flying, walked against the darkness. When he raised his gun against all the evil in this world, there was"light" in him!
In the previous world line, Conan, as all the evil in this world, only wanted to kill Gin and the winery, but there was not much. I think, but in this new world line, Conan has a new perspective on many things at that time.
Conan first confirmed that Brother Gin has the appearance of a hero and can bear everything and transform into"light". A man who shines light on others, whether the light is black or white, good or evil, has the same essence. Conan imitates Gin at this moment because he wants to use this heroic posture of becoming"light".
He wants the"word" that he really wants to communicate with the Skull Beast Head Mark.
In the name of the strongest dark organization winery, in the honor of brother Gin who killed the hero, and in the credibility of my undercover brother Edogawa Conan, surrender, as long as. You surrender, I will carry you!
The Skeleton Head Mark does not have self-intelligence. It is just a memetic mechanism that mixes blessings and curses. It is rigid but flexible. When Conan infected the Blood Oath Mark with the alien virus of purity, At that time, part of the blood oath mark was influenced by Conan, and using this as a medium, when Conan's will collided with the skull beast head mark, the communication happened smoothly, and
Conan seemed to be through the skull beast head. Mark, I saw the old homeless man.
He didn't have a kind and gentle smile on his face, but he was as tough as ever, with his upper body exposed and the angry-eyed King Kong tattoo. , just gave himself a thumbs up and said:"I believe you……"
But this is also a fleeting image, even so fast that it is difficult to determine whether it really exists!
But that doesn't matter because the result has already been born.
At this moment, the mark on the back of the hand of the light troll outside evolved from an ordinary blood oath mark to the appearance of a skull and beast head, ferocious and ferocious, and also had the aura of a king among beasts.
Conan became the cursed person who was most deeply bound by the blood oath mark, but at the same time, the blood oath mark also gave him the greatest blessing!
The crown of the second-generation Beast King of the Six-Six-Six Beast Legion falls on Conan!
At this moment, Conan smiled subconsciously:
"Old man, it turns out that what you said back then was actually true!"
When the wandering old man was confronting those little gangsters, he called Conan the next generation of beast kings.
At that time, it seemed to be just a casual bluff, but Conan didn't notice that it was this childless man. The eyes of the old man looking at him are indeed filled with expectations for the future.
The riots of the Six-Six-Six Beast Legion will always be launched. This old dog will eventually die, no matter whether it is death. The darkness known to man is still on the road to death and biting fate, and the outcome is doomed. And the unfinished future can only be resisted by young people like Conan!
This subtle expectation is also buried in the skeleton. The memetic mechanism of the beast head became a blessing and a curse, and became the initial step for Conan's coronation. Then, with the light of simulated gin and the medium of purity, Conan finally gained everything.
The old man himself did not expect that this inheritance from generation to generation would come so quickly and be so special!
But no matter what, the plan finally took the first step smoothly. For Conan, this is the real thing. The beginning.
He tried his best to mobilize his will and spirit to integrate with the skull and beast head mark, and then infiltrated the entire criminal network.
The experience of incarnating as Moriarty in the previous world line gave him With some help from Conan, he gained some experience on how to"control" crimes, and this step is Conan's real idea for solving the case. Well, it is the criminal plan! , even if the old man is resurrected, it cannot change this. In a sense, this is also the terrifying thing about this catastrophic case. Once it breaks out, even the initiator will not have the ability to end it.
If there is an equivalent power, Conan can try to fight this case head-on, like a detective, and defeat this case in an upright manner, but without this condition, Conan can only change his thinking, infiltrate, lurk, seize power, and then rely on his unparalleled detective wisdom. Oh no, it is the invincible criminal wisdom that controls and transforms this case.
You think the real culprit of the riot caused by the Six Six Six Beast Legion in Mihua Town is the homeless old man. You are wrong. The real culprit behind the scenes is me, Edo! Conan!!
But thinking about this, Conan felt a little sad. In the previous world line, he was so great, but he didn't expect that after changing the world line, his moral average level could only be lowered step by step. Some of the methods that he used to be quite resistant to are now available. Of course, to put it mildly, it can be said that Conan has become more mature, or his consciousness has become more mature.
Faced with the violent catastrophe and the expected huge number of casualties, Conan will not regret his life for the reason of not wanting to get his hands dirty, but will march forward bravely through the mud.
However, transformation is not that easy. The blessing and curse carried by the skull and animal head mark are the foundation of this case and cannot be changed. In other words, no matter how it is done, the skull and animal head mark will definitely spread on the homeless people, and it will definitely spread. Push them to commit crimes and riot!
But what can I say, the basic conditions cannot be changed, but in other places, in Conan's view, there is too much room for utilization and transformation.
In this regard, Conan and Mo Yu's views are actually somewhat consistent.
The riot case created by the old man is commendable for his courage and purity, but it has a big problem!
If nothing else, let’s just talk about the purpose and results of this riot. This has always been vague.
In this regard, Conan can imagine a very humorous scene. The old man succeeded, sacrificed the super crime city of Yoneka Town, and summoned the evil Kudo Shinichi with the name of Moriarty to return to the world.
Then, the"Evil Kudo Shinichi" who was both a god and a demon, held the old man's ashes and shouted:"Uncle, what do you want to do by calling me out? You want to create a world that is inferior in everything.
Only the most deformed society of homeless people still wants to force the evil neon official to make concessions and improve the living space of homeless people, or something else, even if I directly give homeless people unparalleled criminal power, you tell me, Why don't you say anything? If you don't say anything, how do I know what you want to do?……"
This humorous scene is the problem. The old man only planned the crime and the case, with the purpose of using this case and the entire Yoneka Town as a sacrifice to summon Kudo Shinichi. The fundamental intention of doing so is always unclear. There is only one Empty slogans to tear into fate and become a new person.
Perhaps, in the old man's opinion, Kudo Shinichi's rebirth with a dark will is the ultimate answer to all problems.
But obviously, this is not the final answer to the question, either in Mo Yu's or Conan's eyes!
However, Conan can also understand. After all, the old man was just a gangster before. If you let him kill people, his execution ability will be absolutely explosive, but let him formulate clear strategic goals, perfect tactical steps, and a successful plan. , even with Moriarty's teachings, it seems a little inadequate, or in other words, it is too overwhelming, and criminals cannot do everything.
But no matter what, for Conan, this omission that the old man failed to take into account has become a space that he can take advantage of!
"I say that all successful crimes must be far away from anger and passion, and must be promoted with perfect planning and thinking.……"
Conan's will, blessed by the skull beast head mark, turned into a storm-like tide, sweeping through the entire criminal network and every physical node of this criminal network, that is, the members of the Six Six Six Beast Legion!
But what those members of the Six-Six-Six Beast Legion felt through the blood oath mark was not the immature child's voice, but an indescribable and eerie voice that reminded people of being in a temple where they couldn't even reach their fingertips. , illuminated by a flash of thunder in the sky, and then a trace of the outline of the gods and Buddhas emerged in the darkness. The evil and solemnity are one, and the majesty and terror coexist.
At this moment, the members of the Six-Six-Six Beast Legion subconsciously responded to everything announced by this voice, and then, the ferocity that originally exploded in their hearts gradually calmed down!
The evil majesty contained in that voice was an overwhelming command.
As a criminal, surrender to him without any other reason!
The magic that remains in Conan from the previous world line is essentially the overwhelming sense of absolute evil that he had when he transformed into Moriarty.
At this moment, the remnants of the previous world line that have spread to this day are finally revealed!
The uncrowned king of the criminal world descends on Yoneka Town in the form of the Six-Six-Six Beast, showing off a corner of his majesty.
Conan did not realize that his voice had the wonderful property of"deterrence +100%" in the ears of the members of the Six Six Six Beasts Legion, but he also noticed that his will had a strong influence on the manipulation of the entire criminal network. The intervention was quite flexible, which made Conan feel slightly relieved.
The birth and growth of the meme version of the Blood Oath Seal is unstoppable, so the current point where the Blood Oath Seal has just been born and has not really grown yet is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The current criminal network with the memetic core of the Blood Oath Seal as the center can be said to be one united and united, and one will can affect everything. This has the basis for drastic transformation, and once the Blood Oath Seal is allowed to spread, Later, the expansion of scale and volume will inevitably be accompanied by a lot of impurities and constraints. Even the beast king who holds the mark may be unable to influence the increasingly large criminal network.
This is not criminological knowledge, but the scientific definition of entropy, reflected in organization and sociology.
"I said that all successful crimes require complete logistical support and preparation, and logistics requires a continuously operating site to provide……"
Under Conan's will, transformation began. The criminal fog that highlighted the riots suddenly turned from expansion to contraction, and began to erode the streets of Yoneka Town with purpose.
In an instant, certain street areas were eroded by this, completely separated from reality, and turned into criminal areas!
The first thing Conan has to do is to impose a certain degree of"lock" on this riot case.
The reason why this case is really called a catastrophe is the tendency of its memes to spread. Once it spreads out of Mihua Town, it will be extremely troublesome. If it spreads all over the neon lights, it will be quite troublesome. If it spreads all over the world, it will be a real disaster. Disaster is coming!
Therefore, Conan locked this case in Mihua Town!
Of course, with Conan's wisdom, he also knows that this is not a foolproof strategy, because after the birth of this catastrophic case, due to its characteristics, it is destined to always become stronger, and the catastrophes that should have spread all over the world are all locked in a place like Yoneka Town. What will happen in the end can be understood without much reasoning.
The title of Mika Town's Super Crime City will only rise one or two levels!
But how can I put it, if you have more debts, you won’t have to worry about it. Anyway, the folk customs of Mihua Town are already so simple and simple. It seems that it is not unacceptable to be more simple. At worst, it is nothing more than Gotham running into Yharnam.
Well, Conan is not such an irresponsible person. His astonishing criminal wisdom is highly active, and he is ready to use a series of means to transform this case into a plastic surgery level, until the old man is reborn, and he will not recognize it. Come out to the point.
And all of Conan's operations actually didn't last long!
In reality, the battle between the Giant of Light and the Magical Girl is still going on.
The two minutes and twenty-six seconds that Kurosaki Ichigo assessed were a total of 146 seconds. He had a passionate battle with the old man, and the thinking time was about forty-six seconds, and the remaining one hundred seconds, Ichigo Kurosaki is ready to have a good time with this magical girl who is full of killing intent!
The result was just as Kurosaki Ichigo expected. Twenty seconds after the battle started, he was pleasantly surprised.
The magical girl's faceplate cracked open, revealing her fangs, and she let out a ferocious scream filled with murderous intent. Her body swayed, and suddenly there were several arms of different sizes, holding whips, syringes, pistols, wrenches, and knives. Weapons such as legal books as thick as bricks were struck all over the place, and in conjunction with the invisible blade of murderous intent, all kinds of killing moves came one after another!
