Stay away from Conan

"That's right..."

At this time, while Gao Yuan was thinking about the loopholes that could be exploited in the R\u0026D department workspace where he was now, he continued to chat with Kudo Yusaku:

"Indeed. A hundred years ago, there was a serial murder case with great influence. After many people's pursuit, the real 'Jack the Ripper' still could not be found. This is indeed a subject that we who like detective reasoning cannot refuse. It is related There are also countless literary creations...

"It's just that compared to the story about 'Jack the Ripper' in the script, regarding this serial murder incident a hundred years ago in reality, Mr. Yusaku, do you think there will be a day when the truth will be revealed?"

In this way, it seems unintentional, but in fact it is intentional. Gao Yuan's question asked about the core issue in the original work about this case related to Sindora Company——

This story in the original work involves two deceased people: one is the young genius Hiroki Sawada who committed suicide by jumping off a building two years ago, and the other is Hiroki Sawada's biological father Tadahina Kashimura. Ultimately, the reason for the two deaths was due to the knowledge that Thomas Sindora, the chairman of Sindora Company, was actually a descendant of the serial murderer "Jack the Ripper" a hundred years ago.

Briefly recall the relevant plot of the original work——

At that time, because he could not adapt to the environment in Japan that suppressed the growth of children's individuality, the genius boy Sawada Hiroki was brought to the United States to study and live, and was adopted by Thomas Sindora, the chairman of Sindora Company, a leading company in the IT industry.

After Hiroki Sawada was adopted, there was an accident. When Thomas Sindora took Hiroki Sawada to visit his collection, Hiroki Sawada saw a seemingly ordinary dagger and some other extraordinary things. The precious antiques were displayed together, so the curious Hiroki asked about the origin of the dagger.

As a result, Thomas Sindora accidentally revealed to Hiroki that the dagger was suspected of being "Jack the Ripper".

I thought this was something that could not be verified, but I didn't expect that Hiroki developed a "DNA tracking system", which is a system that can trace the bloodline of ancestors through human skin and blood data.

Moreover, in order to experiment with this system, Hiroki took the dagger for testing, and accidentally discovered the connection between the blood stains on the dagger and Thomas Sindora.

Therefore, in order to prevent the secret of his bloodline from being discovered, Thomas Sindora set up the strictest police protection for Hiroki and imprisoned him in disguise.

As a result, until that day, after Hiroki successfully developed "Noah's Ark", the imprisoned Hiroki chose to commit suicide.

As a result, the genius boy died young. Although Hiroki essentially committed suicide, his father Tadahina Kashimura wanted to know the real reason for Hiroki's suicide, so he invited his college friend Kudo Yusaku to Secretly working as a detective to investigate the truth behind Hiroki's death.

Then, until the day "Cocoon" was released, Inakimura Tadahina also knew the unknown life experience of Thomas Sindora, and refused to sell the "DNA tracking system" entrusted by Hiroki during his lifetime to Sindora in order to cover up the truth of his life experience. Thomas Sindora then took action to kill Tadahin Kashimura.

Therefore, the origin of the entire story in the original work can be attributed to Thomas Sindora and his "Jack the Ripper" bloodline.

According to the original work, Hiroki collected all the information he could and found that the DNA detected on the dagger was consistent with a victim in the "Jack the Ripper" incident, and this victim is also related to Thomas Sindora.

From this, "Noah's Ark", which discovered the truth of the entire incident, later invaded the "Cocoon" game, rewritten Kudo Yusaku's script about "Jack the Ripper", and rewrote the real plot into the game. In this way, the secret of Thomas Sindora's bloodline is revealed, thus completing Hiroki's revenge.

However, it was impossible for him to say such a secret thing directly, so after thinking about it, he planned to lead the topic to the core issue of the whole matter——

That is, the real-life "Jack the Ripper" incident.

After all, Kudo Yusaku, as the detective who was actually invited by Kashimura Tadahina to investigate the cause of Sawada Hiroki's death, may have discovered clues in this regard.

In this regard, after hearing Gao Yuan talk about this matter, Kudo Yusaku seemed to be interested——

"What about the real-life Jack the Ripper incident? Hmm...

"How should I put it? After all, it was an incident that happened a hundred years ago. Most of the relevant clues investigated at that time have been made public and have been discussed to this day. In this case, it is impossible for new clues to emerge, even if the original investigation methods were used There is a limited chance that important clues have been missed, but the relevant personnel are no longer alive...

"Unless new conclusive evidence can be unearthed from the existing evidence, I am afraid it will be difficult to reach a conclusion in this incident."

Saying this, Kudo Yusaku touched his chin with one hand and couldn't help but think:

"Furthermore, the most critical issue is that even if new evidence is unearthed, the most regrettable thing is that we can no longer verify this matter. No matter how convincing the evidence is, if it cannot be verified, , after all, it can’t be perfect.”

"Even if there is DNA evidence?"

Gao Yuansheng had the same feeling as Kudo Yusaku's statement, but he still asked this question——

Because in the original work, it was the seemingly irrefutable DNA evidence that proved that Thomas Sindora was a descendant of "Jack the Ripper".

But, as Kudo Yusaku said, even with DNA, you can't verify it at this time.

Just like in his original world, the uproar about the true identity of "Jack the Ripper" relied on the latest DNA technology, but after all, there are still different opinions on the identity of the murderer, and there are too many possibilities. sex.

In this regard, Gao Yuan, who was thinking this way, tentatively asked Kudo Yusaku about his attitude on this matter, and Kudo Yusaku also nodded:

"Even if it's DNA evidence."

With such a firm answer, Kudo Yusaku said seriously:

"Even if we can now find DNA evidence that does not belong to the victim but to the suspected murderer 'Jack the Ripper' from the evidence left over from that year, even if we find the owner of the DNA through this evidence, we cannot be 100% sure. That DNA evidence was left behind by the murderer. Without being able to verify this, even if there is a 1% or lower probability that the whole thing could lead to such a result, we can't rule it out, right? ?”

In this way, Gao Yuan definitely nodded——

That's right, just like today, even DNA can be verified several times in succession and there is still the possibility of fraud, let alone only one piece of DNA evidence?

Thinking like this, Takato's thoughts couldn't help but recall the fake "Kyosuke Mitarai" who pretended to be his original self in the Hokkaido incident.

Even the blood drawn directly from his body could be fake.

When a single piece of evidence cannot form a complete chain of evidence, the strength of the proof is very limited.

Thinking of this, a thought flashed through Gao Yuan's mind... ()
