Summary

In this chapter, Conan and his companions are trying to locate Ban Cang Zhuo, a suspicious individual who was involved in a recent incident. Uncle Mao Li recalls that Ban Cang Zhuo was likely killed in an explosion at a software launch, but they suspect he may have gone into hiding. They analyze a video of Ban Cang Zhuo and notice three types of chessboards beside him, leading Uncle Mao Li to call hotels to find out if he had borrowed them. This leads them to discover that Ban Cang Zhuo is staying at the Mi Hua Hotel in room 2004. Meanwhile, in a virtual world, characters discuss Ban Cang Zhuo's connection to a black organization and the mysterious software he was developing. At the hotel, Officer Mu Mu and his team investigate Ban Cang Zhuo's death, which appears to be a heart attack, but they suspect foul play due to the peculiar positioning of the body and the lack of signs indicating he died naturally. The investigation hints that he may have been restrained, leading to further questions about the circumstances of his death.
