Conan's All-Member Force Enhancement Plan

"The vital signs of machine player No. 14 are abnormal. Please provide immediate rescue."

"The vital signs of machine player No. 14 are abnormal. Please provide immediate rescue."

"The vital signs of machine player No. 14 are abnormal. Please provide immediate rescue."

The sudden mechanical sound accompanied by an alarm in the game room startled everyone in the room.

While the others were still looking confused, Edogawa Conan had reacted quickly. He immediately ran around trying to find the machine number 14 that was broadcasting. Before he ran a few steps, he saw the virtual battle game machine they had just played with a big number 14 on it.

The broadcast in the game hall continued, and the waiter and security guard arrived soon. After discovering that Kengo Oto on game machine No. 14 was dead, they were horrified and hurriedly took out their mobile phones to call the police.

Ran Mouri and Suzuki Sonoko just followed over. Ran Mouri frowned and stared at the game screen where Kengo Oto was, as if something was wrong.

Si Xuanyu came over and said, "So he's dead. No wonder he was standing there getting beaten just now."

Mao Lilan was stunned. Oh, yes, this game character is a little different from the one she saw Weidou Kengo use before.

Megure Juzo arrived quickly and skillfully began to let the police officers take control of the scene and asked forensic scientists to collect evidence, while he himself walked around and questioned witnesses at the scene.

For things like this, it would of course be better to find someone experienced and acquainted, so the easy-going Mao Li Ran was naturally found.

Megure Jusan frowned, "So, this person died in the middle of the game? Is this true?"

Mao Lilan thought for a moment and said, "It is true that the machine reported the abnormal vital signs in the middle of the game, but I just saw him playing the game again. From the beginning of the game, the character he controlled was standing there, motionless, and was beaten, so I think he may have lost his ability to move before the game started."

Takagi Wataru reported the file of Bidou Kengo to Megure Jusan: "The deceased Bidou Kengo was 21 years old and currently has no job. Most people say that he has a bad character and his reputation in this game hall is not very good."

Megure Jusan expressed his understanding: "I see, so he must have made a lot of enemies here."

Takagi Wataru continued, "Also, according to the guests who were nearby at the time, no suspicious persons were found wandering around at the time of the incident, and no one saw Kengo Bito eat anything. Judging from Kengo Bito's condition, it doesn't look like he committed suicide."

At this time, Judy suddenly asked Maori Lan in a voice that was not at all concealed: "Did this person know Mr. Maori before?"

Mao Lilan nodded: "Yes, he was my father's boss at his previous job."

Megure Jusan was successfully attracted, and Mao Lilan immediately introduced: "Inspector Megure, this lady is our high school English teacher."

Megure Jusan stood up straight: "English teacher?"

Judy immediately replied in a strange half-English accent: "Yes, my name is Judy Saint-Timilian. I hope the officer can give me your guidance."

When Megure Jusan heard this, the studious gene flowing in his blood was activated. He took two steps forward and introduced himself in English loudly, slowly and as clearly as possible: "My name is Megure Jusan, and I am a Japanese police officer."

Judy didn't know if it was because her acting was so good or she was really used to teaching, but after hearing Megure Juzo's English, Judy immediately began to correct his pronunciation.

Megure Jusan followed suit and learned very seriously, but his accent couldn't be changed in a short time, so after a few rounds, Takagi Wataru couldn't help but come over and interrupt Megure Jusan.

Megure Juzo also realized that his behavior seemed a little inappropriate, so he cleared his throat awkwardly and continued investigating the case.

Megure Jusan was quite interested in the vital signs report, so he asked the waiter next to him: "Is the vital signs test here accurate? What does the system consider to be abnormal?"

The waiter hesitated: "This...we are not sure. This program was only introduced a few days ago. This is the first time we have seen it. As for how it determines, we don't know."

Seeing this, Si Xuanyu explained, "This game console is special because the gaming device is placed close to the player's head, neck, chest, abdomen, and wrists. Therefore, it can determine vital signs based on the detected heartbeat, which is fairly accurate."

Megure Jusan turned his head, his eyes showing doubt: "Miss Si? How did you know?"

Si Xuanyu smiled slightly: "Because this is the procedure for our company to develop the device."

Megure Jusan knew that the Si Group had a wide range of businesses, so he didn't find it strange to hear Si Xuanyu say this: "So, the helmet on the deceased's head and the things that bound his hands and feet were all for vital sign detection?"

The waiter next to him, Izujima Jun, came over and explained, "Because this is a virtual combat game machine, all players who participate in the game will receive corresponding damage when the characters they control on the screen are hit."

Megure Jusan didn't know much about the trends of young people. After hearing Dejima Hitoshi's explanation, he immediately thought: "Could it be that he died suddenly because of some disease caused by the strong impact?"

Si Xuanyu immediately stated: "Inspector Megure! Don't talk nonsense! Our Si Group's game consoles have all been safety tested! The feeling of the machine reacting to the player is almost the same as a mobile phone vibrating in a pocket, not even painful, let alone sudden death caused by a strong impact. If you don't believe me, ask Xiaolan, she has played it too."

Mao Lilan nodded blankly: "It really doesn't hurt, but is this game console also a product of the Si Group?"

Si Xuanyu tilted his head and blinked: "Huh? Didn't I tell you? This game hall was taken over by the Si Group a few days ago, and the programs of all the game devices inside have been upgraded."

The people present said, you didn’t say that, okay?

But no one was dwelling on this matter. Megure Jusan began to think, "So he didn't make any moves after the game started, but the alarm did sound about ten seconds after that, right? He doesn't seem to have any external injuries, so it's not sudden death, so it could be poisoning?"

Conan Edogawa agreed with Megure Jusan's guess: "I think it was poisoning too! And it should be the poison before the game started, right? In just a dozen seconds, Kengo Oto was unable to operate the game and gradually died."

Megure Jusan looked down and saw Edogawa Conan with a serious expression. Megure Jusan thought again: "But if the poisoning leads to death, the deceased should have a more violent reaction, right? But no player around mentioned this. Moreover, there is no food around him. If a poison needle is used, the deceased will definitely feel pain and resist at the moment of being poisoned?"

Conan Edogawa thought for a moment and said, "That's not right, Inspector Megure, this is a game room. It's usually so noisy that you can't even hear each other's voices. If the machines weren't turned off for the investigation, it wouldn't be as quiet as it is now."
