Chapter 254

Thus, he could very clearly see the small dot on the circular map moving rapidly.

Then, Conan began to direct Professor Agasa forward.

The car drove all the way forward, gradually driving out of the city.

Then, the scenery in front of them was gradually replaced by low houses and wide roads.

The Bentley in front had stopped.

Just at this moment, Conan's eyes lit up.

Immediately after, he told Professor Agasa to hurry and drive toward the location where the transmitter had stopped.

Not long after, the Beetle car drove to the location near the transmitter.

Just then, a building with not-so-short floors entered Conan's sight.

In this desolate place, such a building appeared very abrupt, and combined with the location given by the transmitter.

Conan could almost be certain that the black Bentley should be inside this building.

"That's right, it's here."

Conan said very excitedly.

"You must pay attention to the speed of the car, don't deliberately slow down."

"You must remember, we are just passing by here by chance."

At this moment, Hoshino Ki said from the back row.

Originally, Professor Agasa, who wanted to slow down, heard the words of young Hoshino Ki.

Immediately, he stopped the action of slowing down.

Just like that, the car's speed did not change at all as it slowly approached the building.

When passing by the entrance of this building, Conan's pupils suddenly lit up.

Moreover, Conan's complexion changed slightly.

Inside the gate of this building, there was an open space, and that black car was parked exactly in that open space.

Moreover, when Professor Agasa drove the car past the entrance of this building.

The car door of that car also happened to open.

At this moment, a fat man and a thin man dressed in black clothes just happened to get out of the car.

Conan was very familiar with these two men dressed in black.

These two people were exactly Gin and Vodka, who had forced him to drink the poison and made him become this small.

At this moment, Conan turned his head abruptly to look at Hoshino Ki and Kudo Mengyu.

"Did you see? It's these two people."

"Look clearly, Gin and Vodka."

"It seems this place is a stronghold of that organization."

Hoshino Ki said in a flat tone.

"Great, this way we can catch their fox tail."

Conan said very excitedly.

"Hirota Pharmaceutical Research Institute, and it's also a drug research institution."

"Maybe the medicine that made my brother small was created in this research institution."

Kudo Mengyu said with a smile.

"Since this is a stronghold, then we have to check the background of this research institute."

"See if we can find more intelligence on this organization."

Conan was very happy in his heart.

Having found a stronghold of this organization, they were one step closer to the goal of eliminating this organization.

"This research institute belongs to that organization, so there must be many illegal activities."

"There must be more clues on the dark web, let this task be completed by Kudo Mengyu."

At this moment, Kudo Mengyu said actively.

"Currently, there is still one important problem, the transmitter is still on that black car."

"Moreover, we also don't know the internal situation of the research institute."

"Therefore, we definitely can't rashly go in and retrieve the transmitter."

"If the transmitter is discovered by them, will we be counter-tracked?"

At this moment, Hoshino Ki's gaze looked at Professor Agasa.

"Rest assured, once the transmitter is activated, it only has one day of time."

"After one day, the transmitter's built-in will naturally degrade."

"Moreover, from the appearance, it is just an ordinary sticker, there won't be any problems."

At this moment, Professor Agasa said with a smile.

"Oh... I see, that's great."

"Then please, Professor Agasa, take a detour, and go back by another road."

Hoshino Ki said.

Then, the Beetle car driven by Professor Agasa took a big circle and brought them back to the city.

"Now, there is still one thing to do, which is to find a bookstore and really buy a detective novel for Conan to take back."

"Only in this way can we explain it to Ran."

Suddenly, Kudo Mengyu said.

"My God, good thing you reminded me, otherwise I would have forgotten such an important matter."

Hoshino Ki also said somewhat awkwardly.

"Since we want to buy a detective novel, we have to really buy a novel that Conan likes."

"Let's buy that single volume released by Mr. Nitaro Shinmei."

"Reasoning novels are the best to read."

Conan said with a chuckle.

"Okay, that's not a problem at all."

Hoshino Ki agreed very readily.

Then, everyone found a relatively large bookstore.

Moreover, they successfully bought the detective novel Conan wanted.

After buying it, Professor Agasa drove these people directly back to his home.

"Brother, shouldn't we go back and tell Ran first?"

"Then, go back to the Kudo residence and everyone can check the information on the Hirota Pharmaceutical Research Institute together."

At this moment, Kudo Mengyu said to Conan.

Then, Conan also agreed readily.

Then, Conan hugged the book and ran hurriedly toward Ran's residence.

Inside Kudo Mengyu's room.

At this moment, Kudo Mengyu was looking at the computer monitor with full concentration.

Her fingers were flying on the keyboard, and the sound of typing kept ringing out.

At this moment, Hoshino Ki and Conan were also staring at the computer screen with full concentration.

As Kudo Mengyu operated continuously, windows on the computer screen popped up or closed from time to time.

Then, the English characters that appeared on the screen were characters that Hoshino Ki and Conan could not understand.

English characters kept scrolling rapidly on the computer.

Kudo Mengyu suddenly hit the Enter key.

At this moment, all the windows on the computer suddenly disappeared.

Immediately after, the computer screen turned into a black background.

Not long after, white English words appeared in the center of the screen.

"Hehe!!"

"The dark web interfaces in other places are all minimalist black and white."

"This one has a red border with a special effect."

At this moment, Mengyu smiled lightly.

"Is this the dark web?"

Hoshino Ki asked very curiously.

"No, this is just a port."

"You still need to download a special kind of software to be able to get in."

"It's designed this way specifically to expand business."

"However, we cannot enter through this kind of software."

"After all, we don't know what kind of tricks have been done in the software, and we can't risk using this kind of software."

"Otherwise, information might be exposed."

"Therefore, we can only choose the troublesome way; for safety, we still have to do some preparatory work."

"This computer has just been built with a firewall, and at the same time, the real address has been hidden."

Kudo Mengyu explained these cumbersome operations to Hoshino Ki and Conan very patiently.

Actually, after listening, the two of them also nodded half-understandingly.

Regardless of whether the two of them understood or not, Kudo Mengyu spoke while operating.

Moreover, she successfully entered the dark web.

"Look, I found the Hirota Pharmaceutical Research Institute."

"Hirota Company looks like a pharmaceutical enterprise researching anti-cancer drugs, but in reality, it is secretly manufacturing drugs."

"At the same time, it is also involved in some arms trading."

Kudo Mengyu looked at the computer screen and said in a very serious tone.

"Manufacturing drugs must be for the purpose of selling them."

"Moreover, since it involves arms trading, can we check the capital flow of this Hirota Company?"

Then, Kudo Mengyu continued to type on the keyboard.

After a short while, Kudo Mengyu shook her head and said.

"No, the illegal transaction funds of Hirota Company were remitted in several installments to specific encrypted accounts of the Digital International Bank."

"The protection level of these encrypted accounts is very high; in such a situation, there is no certainty at all to hack in quietly."

"Of course, such capital flow is definitely impossible to query."

"Then, can the criminal information we have on hand now be handed over to the police as evidence?"

Then Conan asked.

"Also no, the criminal information we just saw was just a little trace left behind through their transactions."

"It's just a deduction derived from combining clues."

"After their transactions are successful, they will clean up these traces basically very cleanly."

"The information we just saw was just a little bit that was not easy to restore."

"Reasoning is reasoning, even if the reasoning is ninety percent true, there is no way to become evidence."

Kudo Mengyu shook her head and said.

"Is that so..."

Having no choice, Conan also shook his head with great regret.

"Why be so depressed? At least knowing that the Hirota Pharmaceutical Company is an organization can be considered a pretty good progress."

Hoshino Ki spoke up.

After hearing Hoshino Ki's words, the expression on Conan's face improved slightly...

"That... can we check some information about Gin and Vodka?"

At this moment, Conan asked again hurriedly.

"I have also checked after the Shinkansen explosion incident."

"I really didn't see the names Gin and Vodka on the list of mercenaries and world assassins."

"After such a situation appeared, their way of doing things is very secretive."

"There is no name listed on these lists, it is also possible that they used other codenames."

"On such lists, you can only see codenames, rankings, or the lowest hiring price."

"If you want to know more information, you can only register to become a mercenary or an assassin."

"Can we try to register?"

Actually, Conan was very unwilling in his heart.

"Of course no problem, if you want to register as a mercenary or assassin, you have to complete the assessment tasks formulated by this organization."

"Ninety percent of these tasks require killing people."

Kudo Mengyu looked at Conan with a somewhat teasing tone.

"Relying on our skills and IQ, there shouldn't be much of a problem in completing the assessment tasks."

"Do you really want to try?"

"Is that so, the sacrifice is too great, let's not do it."

Hearing that he had to kill people, Conan felt a bit terrified in his heart.

"That's all the clues."

Kudo Mengyu said while exiting the dark web.

The computer also returned to the normal page.

"Although we know some intelligence, it seems there isn't much we can do."

"Facing such an organization, we can't rashly go and investigate personally."

It's too much of a headache, Conan sighed heavily and said.

"If it's not convenient to investigate directly, then do it indirectly."

"By the way, find some trouble for them."

At this moment, Hoshino Ki had a new idea.

"Does that mean you have a plan?"
