Conan and Gin are both my brothers, what's wrong with meeting them once?

According to Conan's investigation, Itakura Taku started writing his diary like this on the tenth day after Tequila visited him.

The records from the previous period were mostly about people breaking into the house, things being disturbed, the police not finding anything, and replacing the security door not working.

Kazuma Kudo yawned and continued playing on his phone.

"On December 19th, I was exhausted. If this continued, I would probably die sooner or later."

Conan was still reading those diaries aloud.

Kudo Kazuma simply gave up and waited until there was news about the software.

The diary entries that followed naturally recorded that Itakura Taku left a note in the drawer for Tequila to indicate his agreement, and then a woman had a phone conversation with him, agreeing that he would complete the software development within a year as required, and that the woman would buy it at a high price, and also gave him an upfront payment.

Kudo Kazuma was still slacking off when Conan suddenly poked him, pointing at the computer screen and asking, "What does this mean?"

He curiously peeked inside; it was the diary entry for December 22nd of the following year, before the start of the Ke Xue era.

No, I can't continue. Actually, the reason I gave up wasn't just because my eyesight was deteriorating; the main reason was for the well-being of all humanity.

"What do you mean?" Kudo Kazuma pointed to the phrase "for the well-being of all mankind" and said, "You're asking about this?"

Conan asked with a serious expression, "So, what exactly does the organization want to do?"

Kazuma Kudo pursed his lips: "To be honest, I don't know. Based on the effects of Drug A and what I've heard... it's probably something like immortality? Although I don't know what a piece of software could possibly have to do with that."

He wasn't lying about that.

After all, he didn't live to see the finale in his past life, and he didn't get to see the boss in person in this life.

This conclusion was reached entirely thanks to the deductions made by netizens in their past lives.

To find out what the organization is really up to, you'll have to ask the boss in person sometime when you have the chance.

Conan had no idea that his younger brother was already a high-ranking officer in the organization, so he didn't know that his brother was unaware of it and simply continued reading the diary entries.

"On February 9th, with the deadline they gave me fast approaching, I hid the unfinished software and the check they had given me in advance in the computer desk of the villa, planning to escape abroad and live a secluded life."

As Conan read this, he couldn't help but glance at Kazuma Kudo.

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "I knew it was unfinished software. I told you I didn't want to do this stupid task, but Gin must be crazy to give it to me."

Conan: "..."

To be honest, given how lazy his younger brother is, the fact that he can still survive in that organization makes him wonder if the kid has been bewitched by the people in that organization...

He remained silent for a moment, then continued reading the following content.

“I know perfectly well that they will use an email in a few days to specify the time and place for the software delivery, but that will be five days from midnight. Before that, I must find a way to get out of the country… This diary entry is dated four days ago.”

Conan turned around and stared at Kazuma Kudo: "In other words, someone will be giving Itakura Taku the instructions on the time and place for software delivery tonight. Is that person you?"

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "I just took on a task to urge him on. As for who contacted him... it should be that woman who has been in contact with him, right?"

However, he didn't think Vermouth was in charge of this thing, otherwise why would Gin have called him over?

“Of course.” Kudo Kazuma tilted his head. “It’s also possible that no one will contact him anymore.”

"After all, I already told Gin that Itakura Taku was dead. Tomorrow, I'll just tell Vodka the software address and have him pick it up. Isn't Itakura Taku's family villa in Gunma Prefecture? It's not even finished yet, there's no need to go that far, right?"

Conan looked at his younger brother curiously: "Anyway, software that involves the well-being of all mankind... Aren't you really curious about what's inside?"

Kazuma Kudo curled his lip: "Isn't that an exaggeration? Even if it really is related to immortality, I don't think a piece of software can solve that. Don't forget what my job is. Do you really think people don't understand software?"

It's not that he doesn't believe in this.

To be fair, even the Noah's Ark in Detective Conan, which is clearly a groundbreaking achievement, is ultimately a product of coincidence.

Noah's Ark is less a remnant of the consciousness of its creator, Hiroki Sawada, and more a continuation of his will.

Even if the technology is stable, it would at most be equivalent to cloning the person's consciousness, which is hardly immortality.

Besides, which genius in the Detective Conan world didn't show their talent at a very young age?

If Itakura Taku could really reach Sawada Hiroki's level, his fame would have been known worldwide long ago. Why would he need to just find a hotel to stay in and be untraceable?

Of course, Kudo Kazuma only dismissed Itakura Taku and his software, but he had to keep a close eye on his older brother, who was curious, had a strong sense of justice, and was particularly reckless.

So he specifically emphasized to Conan, "Anyway, I don't think that software is anything important. If you really want to know, I can tell you someday when I find out. Let's leave it at that. Don't worry about it anymore, or I'll tell Ran. Do you think she won't beat you up?"

Conan was speechless upon hearing this: "Is there any need to tell Ran about this? Stop causing trouble!"

“Of course I have,” Kudo Kazuma said confidently. “Because you’re a kid now, I can’t really bring myself to hit you.”

Conan: "..."

He raised his foot to kick in annoyance, but unfortunately, his legs were too short and his bratty younger brother easily dodged it.

"hateful!"

Conan rolled his eyes and looked back at the computer screen. If he wasn't mistaken, there was a paragraph of white text at the end of this diary entry...

Seeing that Kudo Kazuma had dodged and hadn't paid attention, Conan immediately clicked the left mouse button and swiped, revealing the entire text.

【2月10日

I have no idea what those people want with this software for. Lately, I keep thinking about that woman's bizarre wording during our first phone call. I couldn't stand her arrogant tone, so I immediately asked her what they wanted. To my surprise, she laughed and answered me in English:

We can be both of God and Devil.

Since we&39;re trying to raise the dead against the stream of time.】

While Kudo Kazuma wasn't paying attention, Conan casually closed the document.

After calming himself down a bit, he asked Kudo Kazuma again, "Aren't you curious?"

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "I'm not curious, and you'd better not be either."

He pointed to the time display in the lower right corner of the computer screen and said, "It's getting late, go to sleep. You have school tomorrow, first-grade student."

Conan reluctantly shut down the computer: "After you know what that software contains, you must tell me exactly what it is."

Kazuma Kudo yawned: "I'll just tell you when I find out what the boss's purpose is!"

Conan replied without hesitation, "Sure."

Kudo Kazuma smirked, "You just wait and see."

Let's at least wait until he finds an opportunity to meet the boss in person before we talk about it.

To keep Conan from running around, Kudo Kazuma didn't even take a shower. He went back to his room and helped his miniature older brother change into his pajamas and go to sleep.

To his surprise, Conan woke up not long after he fell asleep.
