At noon the next day, Didan Elementary School, Audio-Visual Preparation Room

"You ...... Didn't you adopt those cats? Mitsuhiko was surprised. I thought you'd take those kittens along...... Anyway, raising one is just raising, and raising a nest is also raising. ”

"Well, although it makes sense, in fact, we don't have any of them now." Qian Yu spread his hands helplessly. "The cat later ...... Because they were attracted by their friends, they bought it. ”

Of course, Qianyu's cat obviously didn't disappear for this reason - there is such a cat lover as Gray Yuan Ai, and Qianyu doesn't dare to give away what she likes if she dares to give it away.

However, after Amuro and they successfully found the location of the Tachibana Mansion with this cat, even if it is a character like Gray Hara, you must think carefully about what it means to have a pet. In this case, they ended up giving the cat to Poirot's Cafe downstairs from the Maori Detective Agency a few weeks ago, where it was fed and cared for by Miss Azusa Enomoto, who was usually in charge of the main things in the café. And after that, Gray Plains, who is still a little difficult to let go of this, has never raised a new kitten.

While they were discussing this, Conan's rather dissatisfied voice came over.

"Don't discuss those questions yet, anyway, Shoko-san's body has recovered now, and those cats have also recovered their health, so it's the right thing to help me find those tapes together!" With that, Conan stood in front of the video cabinet with a bitter face.

Today is Saturday, September 17th, and obviously it shouldn't be the right time for a few of them to appear at school, but they are here: because Conan and Chiba had taken a leave of absence and missed a collective arrangement of the classroom that the whole class had worked together, Mr. Kobayashi arranged for the two of them to prepare a videotape for the class to be played next Monday, and the others actually came over voluntarily - Gray Hara mourned because of Chiba and because of his own long-term leave, and Ayumi because of Conan.

As for Mitsuhiko and Motota...... Well, it's possible that Yuan Tai came to help regardless of the cost because he was too straight. As for Mitsuhiko? Even if Chiba might have guessed it, he wouldn't have said it in front of Ayumi.

In short, all the members of the Junior Detective Corps have demonstrated a high team quality and selfless dedication to the task of Chiba and Conan, which is really gratifying and congratulatory Coca-Cola.

"Crime Prevention Promotional Video ......," Gray Hara said as he walked to the eight-story bookshelf that Conan was looking at. It's ...... It feels like there are hundreds of videos...... It's easy to slip through, right? ”

"And there's more to it than that," Qian Yu glanced at as she stood outside the rows of bookshelves. "Hmm...... 20,000 may be an exaggeration, but I think the total number of videotapes should reach about 10,000, right? I actually wanted to ask before."

"You don't need to look for VHS, just look for Sony's Beta." Conan was still scanning the contents of the bookcase with his glasses. "Di Dan is very rigid in this regard, and this kind of official nature is recorded in the Beta system."

"Is it so rigid, aren't you afraid that the projector will not support Beta in the future, and all these spiritual legacies will be wasted?" Qianyu's brow twitched.

"What's Beta?" Yuan Tai asked curiously. "VHS I know, but ......"

"The big baby of the Sony family, the competition was fierce in the early 80s, but then because of the ......" When he said this, Qian Yu obviously hesitated for a moment, and paused for a moment before continuing. Ahem, in short, for some reason, they were defeated, so now the most popular are the VHS video recording systems developed by JVC. ”

"For what reason, is the quality poor?" Mitsuhiko asked.

"How is it possible, you lend VHS ten guts, and they don't dare to say that their quality is better than Beta." At that moment, their familiar voices suddenly came—though it was a bit confusing both at this time and in this place.

"Officer Chiba?" Conan called out the other man's name in surprise. "Why are you here?"

"Hmm," Officer Chiba smiled and nodded. "The beta tape is actually leading the way in terms of performance, and the tape itself is smaller...... Among us video fans, this thing has a pretty high status! ”

"So, why is something with such an advantage being eliminated by SVH, which is inferior in quality, because the price is too high?" Gray Yuan frowned - although she was the one who spent her childhood in the 80s, like Conan and Chiba, she didn't know as much about it as the two of them.

"No, it's mainly because of ......" When he said this, Officer Chiba obviously hesitated, and in the end, he was as vague as Chiba, but he still found a slightly more reliable reason to come out and prevaricate them. In a word...... There are some drawbacks, such as not having that much persistence, and missing out on some big customers in terms of sales and licensing strategies, in short...... Almost five years ago, Sony abandoned this thing and switched to the same SVH video system. ”

"Don't talk about that, Officer Chiba, why are you here?" Conan repeated the question.

"Ah...... I'm here to discuss some things with the school this time, and by the way, I'm going to hand out leaflets on crime prevention, and then I'm going to take a look at the school......" Officer Chiba didn't finish explaining, and he was ruthlessly exposed by Gray Hara. "Aren't you here during the day yesterday to hand out leaflets, why are you still here today?"

"Ah......h This ......"

Qianyu's gaze also turned back from the cabinet he was looking at, because even he felt the shyness of the other party.

This...... Did they find something strange?

……

The reason why Officer Chiba and Chiba's more unspeakable Beta system were defeated...... One of the more mainstream beliefs is that Sony banned the use of beta video recording systems for the industry, which led the industry to choose SVH tapes, successfully reversing the performance disadvantage of VHS.

Don't think that the industry has a bad influence, otherwise Rabelais's Giants wouldn't have sold more in two months than in nine years of the Bible...... Although the Legend of the Giants has the significance of its spiritual wealth, it is not without reason that Rousseau and Voltaire criticized Rabelais's obscenity and filthiness, and he used obscenity and vulgarity to seduce readers against religion and tradition.
