Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 735: Tokyo Connection King Tang Ze

"The Twin Towers really made a lot of money this time." After placing the new white egg, Tang Ze patted the warm eggshell and sighed, "It took everyone a lot of effort to collect so many Desire Stones last time."

Practice makes perfect. With the example of Zhufu Jingguang, Tang Ze can now estimate the progress of the task very accurately. Before the operation began, he estimated that the halls and shadows of the twin-tower skyscrapers would be enough to quickly fill up the second progress bar.

As he expected, all of Matsuda Jinpei's task progress bars were successfully filled up and he entered the stage of collecting intelligence.

This was the reason why he was in a hurry to fool Vermouth so that she would wisely evacuate Ni-chome.

According to Haibara Ai's measurement data, the closer these eggs are to hatching, the stronger the fluctuations they emit. Tang Ze doesn't want to attract the organization's attention on this issue at all.

How long will the new white eggs stay in his bar if he doesn’t take them out?

Fortunately, things went smoothly. Vermouth successfully gave a rank up, which touched her greatly. She tactfully left and went to clean up Ireland's next task.

She regarded this house as Kumail's territory. She had already known the inside and outside of the house, so she had no reason to get closer, and she was afraid of causing Kumail's dissatisfaction.

All the black and red teams that will notice 2-chome have already clearly identified its ownership, and for a long time, the Phantom Thieves' base can ensure its concealment.

So Tangze took out the new egg without stopping.

"It seems to be no different from the last egg?" Asai Chengmi walked over and touched the egg with a jade-like texture.

"The color of the eggshell is a little darker than the last time." Huiyuan Ai, who was busy installing the sensor, quickly scanned the egg and said, "The data may be a little different from the last egg. I will readjust the data later."

The last time, Dan Zhufu Jingguang: "..."

It's so strange, this feeling...

After standing in front of the stage for a while with a strange look on his face, Zhu Fu Jingguang came over and touched his eggs twice hesitantly.

Although he knew the process of his resurrection through other people's descriptions, and even Tang Ze, who was eager to watch the fun, specially edited the surveillance video of the laboratory and showed it to him, but when he actually saw the giant egg as tall as a person and confirmed that his friend would be reborn in this way, his feelings were very complicated.

Although such a humorous way of birth was not something Tang Ze could decide, according to the other party's description, this was to conform to the concept of being conceived again. Compared to real egg-laying, it was more like going through a gestation and incubation process. But he understood the reason. It was really outrageous for a living person to hatch from an egg.

"The remaining part is to get to know the life story of this police officer." Tang Ze glanced at the progress bar in the upper right corner and said pertinently, "He has been sacrificed for several years and has left many relatives. To be honest, it will be easier than last time."

Morobushi Kagemitsu never gave up his undercover work and identity until his death. His identity was a secret that needed to be carefully protected and was not so easy to find. At that time, it was not convenient for Karasawa to tell his relatives such as Furukaya Rei about the purpose of his actions. It was extremely difficult to investigate with so many confidentiality requirements.

As for Jinpei Matsuda, his classmates in his childhood and colleagues in his youth are still alive, and he has relatives at home. As long as the method is appropriate, asking them about a deceased respectable police officer will not arouse suspicion.

Not to mention, this time they also had the assistance of his classmates from the police academy who had a very good relationship with him.

"I have learned most of his work experience during his time at the police academy and right after graduation from Mr. Furuya's movie theater, and I have also completed the questionnaire. What remains now is to contact his father and his former friends and relatives."

"We should also communicate with Officer Furuya. His status and authority make him more suitable for such matters than ours."

"Then we need a suitable reason to find out the matter from him..."

The members of the Phantom Thieves stopped talking and looked at Morobushi Kagemitsu who was standing silently beside the egg.

Zhu Fu Jingguang gently patted the egg floating in front of him twice.

The smooth touch and the slightly warm temperature, close to body temperature, repeatedly reminded him that the relaxed tone of the people around him did not mean that this was a joke.

Just as if he had returned to the human world miraculously, Jinpei Matsuda was also really coming back.

Zhu Fu Jingguang lowered his eyes.

"…About this question. The bomber who killed Hagiwara and Matsuda has not been caught yet?"

----

Fūya Rei said that he was just conducting a simple investigation, but the information handed over to Karasawa through Kazami Yuya filled two heavy file bags.

Obviously, the sacrifices of both Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei left a deep mark on him. The fact that he could explain what he knew so lightly did not mean that he really took these things lightly.

Time is always ruthless. The dead are gone, and even if the living are temporarily trapped in sadness and pain, they will eventually move on.

As a police officer, I inevitably have to face such things frequently.

Tang Ze silently took the information that Feng Jianyu had hurriedly found and sighed inwardly.

He started working undercover when he was very young and did it for six years, the best period of his youth. He lived on the front line of the fight against crime with a different guise and a false identity. In the past, except for the contact who died, he had not come into contact with more colleagues in the police force, so he did not have deep feelings in this regard.

However, after he retired, he was taken care of by many people and returned to the relevant social circles. He truly felt that his tragic past was just a small part of the countless fighters.

Memorial services are held every month, and many more police officers, like Tang Ze himself, whose identities cannot be revealed, die secretly in the darkness. Even mourning can only be done quietly in the dark.

Therefore, he could understand why his old leaders and others were unwilling to give up on him, and even if they had to drag their crippled bodies, they still wanted him to enjoy a few more years of safe and stable life.

"Mr. Furuya has been paying attention to the relevant cases." Seeing Tang Ze silently flipping through the documents without saying anything, Feng Jianyu took the initiative to speak, "Due to his status, he can't really devote himself to the investigation of these cases, but he has tried his best and never given up on tracking these things. The reason why there has been no progress until now is that there has been no new movement of the criminal in the case in the past few years."

Explosion cases are a special type of serious crime.

Due to the special nature of the tools, as long as the criminals are careful enough, they can completely disappear from the police's sight for a long time, making it very difficult to catch them.

Some of the famous serial bombings in history sometimes took several years or even more than ten years to catch the perpetrators. Nowadays, a considerable number of criminals who use bombs to carry out attacks internationally are still at large...

"We can only passively wait for this guy to show up again. This is the interim conclusion." Feng Jianyuya concluded.

He was not worried that Tang Ze would misunderstand Furuya Rei's thoughts, he just wanted to clearly convey the difficulty of investigating this case.

If we use the power of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts to find another way and directly find the murderer of the case, it can be regarded as fulfilling Mr. Fūya's wish.

"Yeah, I see. Thank you, Mr. Kazami."

"You're welcome. If there is any progress in the case, you can contact Mr. Furuya or me directly. We will find a way to help you as soon as possible."

Therefore, if you discover something, you must inform them in time, and don't go out quietly and make some noise to give them a big surprise or something.

Hearing the hidden meaning in his words, Tang Ze smiled and nodded. He did not give a positive answer but did not refuse either. He just handed over the thermos cup in his hand kindly.

"This is the coffee I made myself. You look like you have dark circles under your eyes. Don't work too hard."

"Oh, oh..." Feng Jianyuya reacted, and the thermos cup had been stuffed into his hand. When he turned around again, Tang Ze, who was holding the file bag, had already merged into the crowd and ran away.

Yuya Kazami pondered for a moment, then tentatively unscrewed the lid of the cup. The aroma of cool coffee filled his nose, making him shudder and feel refreshed.

What is this?! Just smelling it can refresh my mind. Is it some concentrated caffeine?

Grabbing a full cup of +50SP coffee, Yuya Kazami inexplicably felt a chill, and the words left by Tang Ze, "Don't work too hard," kept lingering in his mind.

Bring out such a coffee that makes people feel energized, and then say that people shouldn't work too hard... Isn't this just a way of wishing people to work harder?
Curse it, is this a curse?
Capitalist Tang Ze thought exactly like that. He stuffed the file bag back into the prop column without changing his expression, took out his cell phone and flipped through it, finally finding a number that was quite old.

Tang Ze has an idea of ​​when this bomber will be active next.

"Hello, hello, is this Miss Akagi Quantum? Hahaha, I know your last name is not this, but you didn't last time...Okay, I won't mention it. This is what I want to ask, Mr. Akagi Hero's team's recent game schedule..."

----

"Wow, tickets to the Tokyo Aoyama finals?! Really!"

"Yes, it's true, and it's a relative ticket..." Conan said helplessly as he held down Kojima Genta who was excitedly rushing towards him.

Shortly after he became small, some misunderstandings and conflicts occurred between two players of the Tokyo Aoyama team, Hideo Akagi and Naoki Kamimura. Naoki Kamimura mistakenly thought that his teammate Hideo Akagi had intentionally injured his leg, so he pretended to kidnap Hideo Akagi's brother and threatened him not to score a goal in the next game, trying to defeat the opponent.

Quantum, the girl who was in charge of taking care of Akagi Mamoru, discovered that the child was missing and found a threatening letter left by Uemura Naoki. In desperation, she went to the Mori Detective Agency and tried to force Kudo Shinichi to show up and help her solve the case by claiming to be Kudo Shinichi's girlfriend.

Those were the first few cases he encountered after revealing his true identity to Tang Ze. They can be regarded as the beginning of his friendship with this guy Tang Ze.

However, he had only come into contact with Uemura Naoki in a plaster cast from beginning to end, and almost forgot that these two have indeed become the twin stars who have now become the pillars of the Tokyo Aoyama team. And Tang Ze can still reconnect with Akagi Quantum from a corner, and suddenly ask for a few tickets as a gift or something...

This guy Tang Ze is surprisingly good at making use of his connections.

"So you all have time to go, right? Then I'll ask everyone to get as many tickets as possible." Conan collected his scattered thoughts and confirmed with the naughty kids.

"Yes! Of course!"

"Wow, I've been watching it on TV and never had the chance to go and participate in it!"

"It must be very lively, right?!"

"In fact, the stadium is so big that even if you sit in the front row, your field of view is not as good as the angle of the TV broadcast." Huiyuan Ai reminded, "Those clear close-up shots are taken by cameras in different positions. You can't get this effect when watching it live."

"But the atmosphere will be very good." Conan hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Tens of thousands of people will be sitting in the stadium cheering and shouting together, and you can also see the players running around the field up close. That kind of exciting feeling is very rare."

He didn't know why Tang Ze suddenly asked Akagi Quantum to get them such hard-to-buy tickets, but in short, since Tang Ze strongly hinted that he must go, there might be some clues related to the organization at the scene.

...and after becoming an elementary school student, he hasn't been to the stadium to watch a game for a long time. Damn it.

"Okay, then count me in." After admiring Conan's expression for a while, Huihara Ai shrugged and said lightly, "I heard from Tang Ze that it was mainly his credit that we were able to get the tickets. Since my brother asked for a ticket, I naturally have to go."

Due to Karasawa's intervention, although it was Conan who solved the mystery, it was Karasawa who came forward to communicate with Akagi quantum, took the lead in finding Uemura Naoki, and rescued Akagi Mamoru.

Akagi Quantum did not attribute the credit to Conan, and his gratitude naturally went to Tang Ze.

So if Tangze wants to get the ticket, it’s hard to say for Conan.

This guy Huiyuan...

Conan's eyes twitched, and he lowered his head in silence, acquiescing to Haibara Ai's teasing.

The other three elementary school students didn't care about their topic at all. They were already excitedly imagining the grand competition a week later.

"It will be broadcast on all major TV stations. Ah, if that's the case, maybe we can be included in the broadcast of the finals..."

"No matter which team wins, there will be a parade around the block at the end of the final."

"It will definitely be a lively place. If we get family tickets, we might even be able to follow the motorcade..."

----

"Tang Ze is taking you to the game? That's great."

Mao Lilan, who had never met Akagi Quantum and therefore had never experienced the jealousy, nodded calmly.

With Karasawa and the kids as a cover, Shinichi was finally able to go to the game. I guess he was very happy about it.

"Tang Ze really should go out and relax recently." Thinking of Tang Ze, Mao Lilan nodded again, "He is not in a very good state at school."

"Hey, what happened at school?" Conan, who had never heard Tang Ze ask this question, couldn't help but ask.

This guy suddenly asked for tickets to the football game, and didn't explain why. Was it because he was feeling depressed at school and needed to vent?
"The school is quite peaceful. The new teacher who replaced Judy just arrived and got along well with everyone. Doctor Shinde just returned from vacation." She briefly introduced the recent situation of Teitan High School to Conan. After hesitating for a moment, Mao Lilan still said her guess, "Karazawa didn't say it directly, but I feel that he doesn't seem to like the new psychologist."

"Hey, but, Sister Xiaolan, didn't you pass the exam to become a psychological counselor? You said before that this doctor is easy to get along with." Conan couldn't help but frown when he heard the word "psychologist".

Tang Ze's identity is rather special. If the psychologist who approaches him is uneducated, he will not be able to provide help to a special patient like Tang Ze. But if the psychologist is too academically advanced and knows Tang Ze's father, the situation may be even worse.

Regarding Tang Ze's current situation, he had communicated with Hattori twice in private, and also mentioned his suspicions about Goro Akechi.

Although they both felt that they should find a psychiatrist for Tang Ze, or at least advise him to be wary of the people around him, after looking around, they felt that every psychiatrist was quite suspicious and they could not find a suitable candidate.

"Well, I can't really put it into words. I think Dr. Kihara is a pretty good person. He's very good at communicating with students. Although he's only been here for two days, all the students who have been to the psychological counseling room like him very much." Mao Lilan thought and slowly shook her head. "I also think he's very easy-going. He doesn't put on airs when chatting with us. However, I always feel that there's something a little weird about him..."

She didn't know how to describe this feeling, but every noon, when she went to the consultation room to help Muharakawa organize documents and do some simple communication work, she saw Muharakawa's gentle smiling face, and she always felt a sense of disobedience deep in her heart.

It wasn't something that could be accurately described as discomfort or disgust, but when she saw the other person's face, she felt a subtle sense of weirdness, as if she had seen a similar expression or demeanor somewhere before...

"What's the full name of this doctor?" Conan suddenly took the matter seriously and immediately took out his cell phone to search for the new doctor.

It’s better to be careful with guys who can make Xiaolan feel bad.

Sure enough, any psychologist who appears around Tang Ze needs to be wary of him and not take him lightly.

"Kiharakawa, yes, that's Kihara..."

He typed in the name according to Mao Lilan's description and searched it in the search engine. As soon as he clicked on the first photo, Conan's eyebrows jumped violently.

No wonder, I have indeed seen it!

"Sister Xiaolan, do you remember the game where we went to Noah's Ark, the one with Holmes and Watson..." Conan stared at the photo, especially the curly black hair. "Don't you think this looks a lot like the grown-up Tang Ze brother simulated in the game?"
