The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

“So even if we don’t interfere with their affairs, it’s difficult for this system to remain in the hands of the organization?”

After calming down, Shuichi Akai quickly returned to the main point.

Compared to such unimportant matters, the focus now is definitely the organization's upcoming actions.

"Yes, and if you ask me, it's not just the organization, there are many people who don't want to see it completed." Tang Ze said very pertinently.

If there are enough people and forces that want to push it to run, and organize those minor disturbances, even if they temporarily interfere with the system, it will not affect its use in the end.

The problem is that it isn't.

"I've said it before, this kind of project is unrealistic." Akai Shuichi wasn't surprised by his statement, but rather agreed, saying, "It's quite a waste to spend so many resources on it."

Putting aside other things, after spending so much money, manpower and material resources, and finally building it in such a place, who will maintain it, who will be stationed there, and how will the usage rights and priority be decided?

In order to push forward this ideal project that is as self-evident as the Tower of Babel, Shuichi Akai said that the investors would rather examine and confirm the technical capabilities of the participants than really want to push for the construction of the system.

In this way, we can identify the core personnel and recruit them, saving time and effort. As for whether the network system can continue to operate, what does it have to do with them?

"Let them spend money if they want. After this wave of high costs, many people will make a lot of money." Tang Ze had no interest in getting involved in this economic event. He only said, "Don't worry about the problems on the organization's side. The priority now is to protect Naomi Argento. She is an extremely skilled person. If the organization is convinced of her skills, she will be very dangerous."

Even engineers of Yuan Jiaming's level cannot escape the organization's control. How can the organization let go of a younger and more talented programmer?

"I understand what you mean." Akai Shuichi nodded carefully, "I know what to do."

"Well, instead of worrying about me, you should take care of the things at the hospital first. I would also feel sorry if they were implicated because of Mizunashi Reina and Curacao's affairs."

"Of course, the dean wanted to repay my favor. I've already found a way."

"Then please."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Ze didn't question how Akai Shuichi could do it. He hung up the call and flipped through the newspaper in his hand.

After all, Shuichi Akai is Shuichi Akai. He has never been someone who relies solely on the FBI for support. Instead, the FBI needs to rely on him as its ace in many operations.

Even if he can no longer use the previous channels, he has plenty of ways and resources to handle these things.

Rather than these, I should worry about...

"What are you looking at?" After taking off the blindfold and squinting her eyes to adapt to the light for a while, she found that the person sitting next to her was staring at the phone silently. Haibara Ai turned her head and asked softly.

The plane has stopped, and theoretically I can now open my phone to check things.

In theory, they were on this trip to Hachijo Island for sightseeing at the invitation of Suzuki Sonoko, but Haibara Ai knew very well that at this moment, the seats in the back half of the plane might have been occupied by the Phantom Thief of Hearts.

Although Tang Ze had taken people out for travel before, doing so at this distance was generally considered a serious matter, so she paid special attention to Conan's movements.

"An Interpol facility has recently been built near Hachijo Island." Conan didn't avoid her. He turned his phone and shared the picture on it with her.

On the screen, a man with a few white hairs on his temples, dressed in formal attire, is confidently introducing matters related to the project to the host.

"Yes, this is the world's first facility that connects police surveillance cameras around the world. It's the 'Pacific Buoy'."

"The introduction says it can also perform global facial recognition based on surveillance footage?"

"That's right. The person sitting next to me is a developer deeply involved in technical research. He will also join Pacific Buoy in the future to continue updating and maintaining the technology..."

As the camera switched the scene and position, the smiling young woman sitting next to him came into view.

Haibara Ai stared at the face for a few seconds and frowned slightly.

What a familiar face. Where has she seen this person before?

She stared at the screen, wanting to hear some introduction or information about this woman. A smiling flight attendant approached and reminded them that the plane had docked at the jet bridge and they could leave the cabin.

"Connecting to cameras around the world..." Conan, who had paused the video, stood up and sighed, "Will this really work?"

It’s not that he looks down on technology, but having traveled to many countries with his parents, he is very clear about the differences between countries in this regard.

Let's not talk about other things, let's just talk about Japan. At least the basic traffic police cameras are quite complete. Just talking about the few times he went to the United States, there were really no surveillance at all in many blocks there. When a case happened, the police had to go door to door to ask for private surveillance videos in shops to collect evidence.

Well, even if we can connect to all the police cameras in the world, just imagine the completely different monitoring settings, parameters, and operating platforms in different places. It is impossible to even unify the resolution of each camera. How much use can it really have for criminal investigation?

"It's useless." Huiyuan Ai said objectively, "But this can create more jobs."

Interpol does not have law enforcement powers and needs to look at the faces of participating countries. Having new platforms and projects that can operate in the long term will be very beneficial to their operations.

"This doesn't sound like a scientist's answer." Conan couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

"As a scientist, I understand the intricacies of this." Huiyuan Ai shrugged. "Technological research and development in computer software engineering is almost entirely commercial in nature, and funding is difficult to obtain."

She couldn't remember for a moment who the familiar face belonged to, but considering that women always look very young, she had reason to believe that she might have seen the other person while studying or at an academic conference.

Being able to become the technical backbone of such a large project at such a young age, he must have neither lack of ability nor background. It is normal for me to have an impression of him.

Therefore, she is particularly aware of how difficult it is to obtain funding for this direction.

"So this international facial recognition system has a large experimental component?" Conan suddenly realized.

"Well, since we can get a database and a long-term stable source of funding, why not do it? As for whether it really works, that is not something programmers need to worry about." Haibara Ai said realistically.

"What profound topics are you talking about, such as funding?" Suzuki Sonoko, who was leading the children off the plane, came over and heard a few technical terms popping out. She couldn't help but frowned.

"No, we were talking about why Sonoko didn't take the boat here this time since Hachijojima is not that far away?" Conan reacted quickly and smiled foolishly.

It wasn't a very clever excuse, but Sonoko wasn't someone who was hard to fool anyway, so this topic was enough to divert her attention.

"That was my original plan. There is indeed a steamer coming from Dito Port." Suzuki Sonoko sighed deeply, "But I think it's safer to take a plane."

She has discovered that when taking Xiaolan and Tangze on a long-distance trip, if they do not choose the fastest route and want to see the scenery along the way, the first scenery they will see will be a thrilling surprise.

Regardless of whether this is aura or metaphysics, she now believes in it. The faster the better. Shortening travel time can effectively reduce the probability of accidents.

"Sonoko, don't act like the security here is so bad..." Ran Mouri, who was approaching to take Conan away, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"And this route is really fast. It only takes an hour, and there are more trains." Suzuki Sonoko stretched. "Even sitting here like this is tiring enough, and taking the boat is even more tiring."

"Okay, let's just leave it at that. Let's go, the kids are already waiting for us outside." Mao Lilan took her arm.

"Where's Tang Ze?"

"He ran the fastest and has been down there for quite a while."

“That’s pretty positive.”

"The purpose of this trip is to let him relax, isn't it? It's good that he's in the mood to have fun..."

Following the crowd leaving the cabin, Tang Ze, who was already standing in front of the luggage tray, pretended to observe the screen and talked to his companions around him.

"The location is definitely in the Pacific Buoy, there's no doubt about that. His real name, Noah, is already being tracked, and we should have results soon. Do you want to give it a try today?"

Tang Ze's expression remained unchanged. He squeezed out a sentence from the corner of his mouth: "Forget it. If you can't find it, then look for it. If you can't find it, there's no need to force it. This guy who has been undercover for five years may not know as much about the internal situation as I do."

Binga must exist in the palace, otherwise he cannot become Rum's confidant.

However, compared to a troublesome target like Rum, Tangze has no idea about Binga.

If we try hard, we might be able to find the place, and there will be certain benefits after the battle, but from the intelligence perspective, it would be a waste of time and effort.

It is extremely difficult to conquer the codenamed members of the Hall who have been enhanced by the Sentinel mechanism, and Binga might have been injected five years ago. Unfortunately, because of disguise and undercover work, Binga has been away from the core circle of the organization for five years, and the information he has learned has long been lagging behind. Tang Ze is not interested in testing the strength of the new version of Gin in his Hall.

"It's hard to say." Zhu Fujingguang, with his hood pulled tightly, had a different idea. "He may not understand the new members, but conversely, he definitely understands the old members better than we do."

Binga had a code name when he left the organization to infiltrate. At that time, the undercover agents, including Shuichi Akai and Rei Furuya who had climbed the highest, were just unknown small shrimps in the organization.

Binga definitely knows more about the intelligence from five years ago than they do, and he might be able to pry out some unexpected intelligence.

"If you want to try, then give it a try." Tang Ze understood his thoughts and did not stop him. "Don't force it. If you find it, then do it according to your ability."

As for Binga himself, he is not as lustful as Rum, but he is definitely a little crazy.

If he wasn't crazy, he wouldn't be a famous Gin anti in the organization. It's obvious that he has no conflict of interest with Gin. This is simply an outbreak of top cancer.

Not to mention Tang Ze who had a special understanding of him, even people like Morobushi Kagemitsu who died three years ago had heard that he and Gin were not on good terms. I believe Binga has been talking about the idea of ​​competing with Gin for many years.

For someone who is willing to do anything to climb up the ladder, the strength of the palace must be quite strong. The only thing to be thankful for is that, based on this understanding, the cognitive Gin in his palace is probably going to be more serious in his slacking off...

"Don't worry too much." Zhu Fujingguang thought the same thing as him and said comfortingly, "At least it shows that he really doesn't have a deep understanding of the core secrets of the organization, right?"

A normal person would not yell at a bodyguard so loudly out of concern for personal safety. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Binga is abnormal.

However, if he knew that the mechanism that could deeply protect his brain actually came from Gin, he might not accept it at all, even if it was for his own good.

By this calculation, his understanding of cognitive science is insufficient, so the difficulty of breaking through it might be much lower.

"Remember to contact me in time if you find a location that cannot be cracked." Tang Ze nodded, agreed with his idea, and just replied.

Tang Ze has not forgotten those strange locks in the Pisco Hall.

Although after reviewing the situation, those fancy K-shaped seals might have been caused by the alloy that Pisco carried with him at the time, but it is better to be safe than sorry. If this is a common phenomenon, then Tang Ze would really be indispensable for them to advance the map.

His scarf is a bound item, so it's hard to say whether it will work if I tear it off and give it to my teammates.

"Don't worry, I won't act rashly."

"Okay, see you later then."

After communicating all this, Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had been hesitating for a while, finally took his suitcase off the luggage carousel and walked towards the exit.

When Conan, Ran Mouri and others walked along the corridor, they only saw a man in black talking to Tang Ze for a few words, then picking up his luggage and leaving.

"Did you meet anyone strange?" Suzuki Sonoko, who always felt that the figure behind her was a little dangerous, walked over and asked.

Perhaps it was because the stereotype Tang Ze left on people was too deep, so now when strangers came up to talk to him, people couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"No. His suitcase is a bit similar to mine. I made a mistake and came here to confirm the number on the luggage tag." Tang Ze pointed to the suitcase that was already placed at his feet.

It's not a lie. The travel supplies of their Phantom Thieves are purchased in a unified manner. Apart from the differences in size and model, they are all of the same brand.

"I see..." Suzuki Sonoko looked at the suitcases that kept coming out of the luggage carousel. "What a coincidence, there are actually quite a few suitcases of the same brand as yours. What, is this brand very popular lately? I'll buy one when I get home and try it out."

Huiyuan Ai, who knew very well who these boxes belonged to: "..."

The same box, similar outfit, this is so disguised and perfunctory, so perfunctory.

Hey, Edogawa hasn't exposed Karasawa's disguise yet. Is it because he doesn't like to know the truth?
