Chapter 2022 Stubborn versus Stubborn
Although it was a practical competition, in fact, Duran was completely cheating. All Conan could do was to find the murderer of the remote murder case, and he had no ability to do anything else.
Since he knew that the remote murder case was also controlled by Duran, Conan had reason to believe that the mysterious murderer was in the residential building. Because this residential building proved the viciousness of human nature, everyone would kill irrelevant people for some absurd reasons. It was definitely the most interesting test site for Duran, and Kuroshima was definitely not Duran's only experimental material.
With this idea, Conan conducted another investigation, but this time he got the help of artificial intelligence.
Before, artificial intelligence had always wanted to train Kuroshima. After Kuroshima was taken away, it thought that the detective defeated the killer, so it decided to change its mind and help Conan solve the case, and finally rely on Conan's ability to stop everything.
At first, Conan thought it was another trick of Duran, but artificial intelligence said that although it was designed by Duran, it had its own system through learning and was not controlled by Duran. The reason why it changed was because it saw Conan's will, which made it realize that the killer was not necessarily stronger than the detective. If Kuroshima had the same will as Conan, she would not have ended up like this. Conan firmly believed that the truth allowed him to see a new path.
Conan can become a sharp sword that cuts off the locks of the future.
With the help of artificial intelligence, Conan is also able to solve the case as if he had divine help.
Artificial intelligence directly told Conan that the murderer of the remote murder case was the retired old man, and the method was to write down the name and cause of death of the deceased in a small notebook. It was so simple that anyone could be killed, no matter how far away, regardless of identity and gender.
Conan remembered that Duran said that "names are magical", but it still takes time to digest this incredible method. Thinking of the retired old man's usual behavior, Conan understood his motives a little. He must want to make the world more orderly, so he took action to get rid of those who disrupted the order.
Conan hopes that the old man can stop and destroy the small notebook. After all, the law cannot pronounce a verdict on this kind of case. There is no evidence, and there is no "material exchange" that will appear in traditional cases. So the best result is to destroy the small notebook and let the retired old man turn back.
"You have to be careful, his is not normal. The little notebook has a fascinating magic that controls people's hearts, makes people addicted, and makes people unable to resist using it. You'd better not face him directly, because he knows your name." The artificial intelligence advised.
Conan said that this is not a coincidence. Conan is a pseudonym, so he is not afraid of the little notebook.
So Conan still knocked on the door of the retired grandfather and faced this unusual murderer.
The old man was very friendly to the children and invited Conan in, and there were snacks.
Looking at the kind old grandfather in front of him, Conan really couldn't connect him with the murderer of dozens of lives. In fact, Conan has never understood the murderer's thoughts. What kind of suffering that cannot be passed will make the murderer kill?
Of course, Conan will not understand, because some murderers are not normal people at all. Many murderers will regret, but not because they regret killing, but because they regret that they did not do it thoroughly and left a flaw.
After making sure that only the old man was at home, Conan finally spoke: "Grandpa, do you have a notebook that can kill people?"
The old man was stunned. He didn't expect Conan to ask this: "How could there be such a thing in the world? Have you watched too much TV?"
"I didn't believe it at first, but that's the fact. If I'm not mistaken, the notebook was given to you by Duran."
"How can you call your father by his name?" The old man thought Duran and Conan were father and son.
"He is indeed my elder, but not my father, and I am a detective. I don't allow anyone to kill people." Conan said it very clearly. He hoped that the old man would turn back.
This family is really strange. When I didn't want the little notebook at the beginning, Duran insisted on giving it to me. Now that I have gotten used to my new identity, Conan comes to talk about these nonsense again. What kind of family is this? Is there any accuracy at all? It's simply changing orders every day and has no integrity.
"I don't care about your family affairs, and you don't care about mine. Children should behave like children."
"I'm not kidding, you can't continue to kill people." Conan is very serious.
"I'm not killing people, but promoting social righteousness, to let people know how to be a qualified member of society." Although the old man struggled at first, he is used to it now: "Since I mastered the notebook, the crime rate has decreased, and the accident rate has also decreased. What's wrong with using the death of scum to awaken the will of modern citizens? Anyway, people will die, isn't it better to let them die meaningfully?"
The old man's thoughts have been twisted. As expected, he is worthy of living in this building and did not disappoint Duran.
Conan looked at the old man and couldn't help sympathizing with him in his heart. Although he could understand it, he couldn't accept it: "We can't keep staring at the dark side of society, otherwise we will also degenerate."
Conan has seen a lot of darkness, but he will still look to the light, because the light is so beautiful, and Xiaolan will always be waiting for him there.
"I can't help but look, because no one looks, so society will become more and more inhumane, more and more indifferent, and more and more unfair. I want to see, and I have to change. You are still young and don't understand how great what I do is."
"Killing is not great at all. No matter how noble the reason is, killing is killing." Conan still hopes to use his mouth cannon to make the murderer repent.
It has always been quite effective. Only a few really vicious murderers will really attack children. Generally, murderers can show conscience when they see children.
The old man certainly has a conscience. He certainly won't attack Conan, but he won't hand over the notes either, because he doesn't think he did anything wrong.
This is an old stubborn. Conan said that his mouth cannon seemed to have weakened after he traveled through time. In the past, he could make the criminals kneel down with just a few words. In this world, the murderers he met were more arrogant than one another, and they were not afraid of being exposed at all.
Conan's righteousness seemed to hit the wall, and it was useless. Sure enough, the world is different, and the criminals are also different.
This is a world with criminals as the protagonists, and detectives are the supporting roles.
Conan did not give up and still hoped to convince the old man.
"You are just a child, you don't understand at all!" But the old man has an omnipotent gold medal for immunity from death. No matter how reasonable Conan's words are, he will fight back with one sentence.
Conan almost vomited blood. This was the first time someone had repeatedly emphasized that he, a kid, knew nothing. He was a well-read detective. Even though he looked like a kid, he was still smart. Now he was thinking whether to anesthetize the old man and steal the notebook, but this was also using crime to stop crime.
This time Conan encountered a problem. The old man's attitude was more determined than Duran's.
