On the way to the Rice City Hall, Fangzheng was bored, even a little bored.
In fact, after The Dead of Baker Street, Fangzheng stopped watching Detective Conan. The reason was that the movie version had to bear the brunt of the blame.
The movie version of The Undead of Baker Street allowed Detective Conan to take a big step forward in science fiction, but it also took a big step back in reasoning.
The people in the movie had all kinds of retarded tricks that made people speechless.
The reason President Sindora had forced Wisdom Tree to his death was that the latter had extracted DNA from the knife left behind by Jack the Ripper, confirming that President Sindora and Jack the Ripper were related by blood. Therefore, President Sindora panicked and forced Wisdom Tree to his death. Then, he killed the designer who had obtained the DNA analysis program.
But in Fangzheng's opinion … it was really stupid.
The knife was only "rumored" to be left behind by Jack the Ripper. Couldn't it have been passed down by President Sindora's ancestors? Then their ancestor said, "So what if this dagger was left behind by Jack the Ripper?" Maybe their ancestors used it to cut apples.
Besides, Jack the Ripper had never been caught, and he did not leave behind any evidence. As the saying goes, a lone witness cannot stand alone, and there is no comparison. How can you say that this is Jack the Ripper's? Would you expect him to jump out of his grave and admit it himself?
From this point alone, Fangzheng was sure that President Sindora was definitely not a descendant of Jack the Ripper. If Jack the Ripper had such a low IQ, he would have been caught by the police a long time ago.
From this point of view, President Sindora was not as good as Emperor Moritani. Emperor Moritani's symmetrical obsessive-compulsive disorder was easier to understand. But President Sindora actually panicked because of a DNA test result that could not be confirmed. Other than saying that he was old and muddle-headed, there was really nothing else that could be said.
To put it bluntly, the whole movie version gave Fangzheng the feeling that it was forcibly made to ride on the gimmick of a VR game. The science fiction theme almost completely overshadowed the reasoning theme.
This greatly disappointed Fangzheng. He watched Detective Conan for the sake of reasoning and solving cases. Who the hell wanted to watch science fiction? If he wanted to watch science fiction, why didn't he watch "The Fifth Element" instead?
If Conan Doyle added aliens and UFOs to Sherlock Holmes, wouldn't it be a bloodbath?
After that, Fangzheng never watched the movie version of Detective Conan again.
As a result, when Fangzheng arrived at Mi Hua City Hall, he still looked like he was about to wake up.
"Oh, Brother Fangzheng, you're finally here!"
Officer Mu Mu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Fangzheng.
"What brings you here?"
"The situation isn't looking good …"
According to Officer Mu Mu, Fangzheng also knew the current development of the situation. Just like the movie version, the current problem was that the entire game system was hijacked by the AI named Noah's Ark. Although Professor Ali helped to improve the system, he was helpless against the AI. So Officer Mu Mu thought of Fangzheng. After all, Fangzheng's main task in the Metropolitan Police Department was to maintain the Skynet system. Officer Mu Mu thought that Fangzheng must be unique in this area, so he tried his best to ask Fangzheng to come and take a look.
Moreover, the person who said that the entire system had a security flaw was Fangzheng. If nothing happened, everyone would laugh at him for worrying too much. But now, people would only think that Fangzheng was far-sighted.
That was why people were so realistic.
"Oh, oh, oh, Fangzheng, you're here."
When Fangzheng came to the control room, Professor Ali breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him. He had been in contact with Fangzheng for quite some time, so he knew that the young man was quite good at programming. Although Professor Ali himself was very strong, he was old and did not have enough energy. Fighting for control of the system with an AI was not his specialty. Just breaking through the blockade alone had exhausted him. Frankly speaking, there was nothing he could do.
"Hello, Professor Ali. It's been a while."
Fangzheng nodded at Professor Ali.
"What's the situation now?"
"It's not looking good. The children are also inside …"
"The children?"
Upon hearing that, Fangzheng pricked up his brows.
"I remember telling Conan that there's a problem with the security of this thing."
"This, this …"
Professor Ali was sweating profusely in the face of Fangzheng's question. He did not know how to answer.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let me see how the program is running."
Fangzheng glanced at Kudo Yusaku, who was standing not far away, and decisively gave up. He was not Conan's father. What did his son's life have to do with him?
"Okay."
At that moment, Dr. Ali hurriedly stood up and made room for Fangzheng. Then, he quickly explained the situation before him. Fangzheng nodded, then began to check the entire program …. To be honest, it would be a little troublesome to do this without knowing anything, but Fangzheng knew the plot. He knew that the AI named "Noah's Ark" had disguised itself as one of the participants and sneaked in. So, all he needed to do was find the disguised guy, imprison and destroy him, and the matter would be settled.
"I'll solve the problem in half an hour."
"Phew …."
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, everyone was relieved. Kudo Yusaku glanced at Fangzheng, then turned his head away. His son was fine now, so it was time for him to get back to work.
"Then, let's start looking for the murderer of Mr. Kemura."
As Conan's father, Kudo Yusaku's reasoning ability was naturally very strong. He quickly began to analyze and deduce how the murderer brought the murder weapon into the venue, and how he killed Mr. Kemura. Then, according to the comparison of the murder weapon and the fingerprints found at the scene, the murderer was – President Sindora!!
However, in the face of Kudo Yusaku's testimony, President Sindora naturally ….
"Nonsense! I'm going to protest to the Japanese government! Besides, I have no motive to do these things! "
"This …."
Hearing President Sindora's words, everyone did not know what to say for a while. At that moment, Fangzheng's voice sounded again.
"Up to you."
"What?"
"Go ahead and protest if you want. As for the motive? Tell us yourself. We're not interested in guessing. President Sindora, what you need to do now is to explain to the police why your fingerprints appeared on the murder weapon. As for why you committed the crime, what does that have to do with us? We're the police. We only recognize evidence. Motive? Only detectives would look for that kind of thing. "
With that said, Fangzheng scoffed as he typed on the keyboard.
In fact, many cases were like this. Perhaps people who had seen too many detective novels would think that every time they solved a case, they must first find the suspect's motive. But most of the time, the police had to arrest the criminal first before they could ask him about his motive.
That's right, the police did not need to find a motive to solve a case. As long as they figured out the criminal's modus operandi and had evidence pointing to the criminal, they could arrest him.
As for why you committed the crime? Why don't you tell us?
"You, you dare to talk to me like this?!"
"Why not?"
Fangzheng glanced at President Sindora and sneered.
"Your company will probably apply for bankruptcy protection tomorrow. Why wouldn't I dare to say something to a guy who will soon become a pauper and may even be in debt? Don't tell me you think your company will be spared after this incident? This is being broadcasted live around the world. I advise you to lower your head and plead guilty. At least you'll have a place to eat hot food in prison. Otherwise, you may have to wander the streets and rummage through garbage dumps. "
"You … … You … …"
President Sindora's face turned red and white when he heard Fangzheng's words. The others were silent. This was no longer something they could interrupt. They just had to pretend they didn't hear it.
The two big shots in the business world were arguing with each other, and they were all trembling in fear. They couldn't afford to play with them.
"Okay, it's done."
After casually mocking President Sindora, Fangzheng focused his attention back on the screen and tapped on the keyboard.
The next moment, all the screens in the control room turned black. The system was restarted. Soon, the "eggs" that had been moved back to the ground quickly rotated and floated up. The hatch opened.
Seeing this, the parents who had been sitting on their chairs for a long time rushed down and hugged their children in front of the gaming cabin.
"You actually took back control of the system from Noah's Ark and forcefully rebooted it?"
Dr. Agashi was shocked to see this.
"How did you do it?"
"It's simple. I just need to be faster than it … Okay, make sure all the players are safe and sound. Turn off the power immediately and disconnect the network."
"Yes, sir!"
When Fangzheng stood up and stretched, President Sindora finally bowed his head and pleaded guilty.
As Fangzheng said, even if he didn't kill anyone today, the compensation from these people alone would be enough to bankrupt Sindora. Coupled with the withdrawal and lawsuits from other companies, even if he didn't end up in prison, he would only end up living on the streets.
Instead of that, he might as well retire in prison … At least he would have three meals a day.
In the movie, Conan and the others eventually found the murderer's motive from the game, but in Fangzheng's view, it was meaningless.
First of all, the jury would not use the AI's words as evidence. Second, a game setting was just a game setting, after all. It would be a stretch to call it evidence. After all, the jury could not determine that you had a motive just because of the words of an NPC in the game. So in Fangzheng's opinion, Conan playing detective in the game was purely a waste of time. He decisively rebooted the game, like a parent who came to unplug a child who was having a good time playing a game.
What's more, Conan had not saved his game.
Hmm … this feeling is really great.
