Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 746 Tang Ze: Maybe it's cerebral palsy

"Wait a minute, wait a minute. I'm a little confused." Matsuda Jinpei pinched his eyebrows and raised his palm to stop Zhufu Jingguang's explanation.

Zhu Fu Jingguang, who understood his feelings very well, stopped talking at the right time and looked at Tang Ze, who was leaning back with a can of soda in his pocket.

The surrounding environment became completely quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the regular sound coming from the detection equipment. Jinpei Matsuda let out a breath and felt that his brain had finally started to work.

His ears were still echoing with the loud roar caused by the explosion. His consciousness had just disappeared in the intense burning pain, and the next second, he opened his eyes again, accompanied by a sense of weightlessness and a violently flashing blue light. He appeared in this place, and the first person he saw was his friend who had already died.

He would think that he had arrived in the afterlife or something like that. We really can't blame him for having such jumpy thoughts, right?
"So, you are indeed dead... Well, at least that was the case three years ago. The news I received is true." Matsuda Jinpei confirmed, his voice a little dry, "I have also been dead for three years."

"Three years." Tang Ze, who had successfully used the date to wake people up, added, "Okay, the time may be off by a few hours, but it's not too much."

The football match is still in progress, so even if the bomber were to strike, he wouldn't do it now.

So strictly speaking, there are still a few hours left.

"Hey, leader..." Zhu Fujingguang glanced at him and stopped Tang Ze from continuing to tell strange jokes.

After returning to this world, he is not dissatisfied with his current life. It's just that if the leader of their Phantom Thieves was a calmer guy... Never mind. A calmer guy probably wouldn't come up with something as cheesy as the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.

Matsuda Jinpei finally turned his attention to the face of the young man who had not participated in their conversation except for laughing. Seeing his white hair and red eyes, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

According to Zhu Fujing, both of them were miraculously resurrected from their predetermined death by this man who called himself Joker.

The reason why this person did this was because this was "Furiya Rei's wish."

...But are there really such easy miracles in this world?
Of course there was nothing wrong with being able to survive, he still had promises to fulfill, things he had to do, and too many reasons not to stay at that moment.

But if this requires an unbearable price, or if it means his friends will have to bear too much, then he is not the kind of person who would sacrifice others at the cost of his own life.

His death may not be so meaningful. It may be just a trivial thing in Tokyo, a city full of various colors. Except for his friends and relatives who were familiar with him, and his colleagues who felt sorry for him, perhaps few people remembered his name.

But this was a choice he hadn't regretted since he embarked on this path, and he didn't need some blond idiot to save him.

Tang Ze noticed Matsuda Jinpei's gaze and felt an inexplicable familiarity from it, and couldn't help but laugh.

When he refused to evacuate and used his own life as a bargaining chip, vowing to delay the bandit leader's departure and create an opportunity to completely wipe him out, his contact had a similar expression, which made Tang Ze's original impression of him as a very flat and unrealistic person suddenly become friendly.

Should we say that he is indeed a guy who can throw his life and death behind his back without hesitation for the sake of his previous oath? This guy is good, and so is that guy.

And they all did.

"Don't look at me like that, Officer Matsuda. Don't worry, I have no ill will towards Mr. Fūya, and I haven't done anything to exchange his life for yours." Tang Ze shrugged. "It may take some time to explain it in detail. Senior Jingguang took two or three days to understand the situation and adapt to it. Although you can do this, but..."

Tang Ze took out his cell phone and checked the time.

The gymnasium is not very close to the base, and if they want to get back as soon as possible, they will have to take a shortcut through the impression space. I am afraid there will not be enough time for them to reminisce so leisurely.

"The first half of the football game is about to begin. Are you sure we want to waste time here? Let's talk while we walk."

As for miracles or something...

Better to let me see it with my own eyes.

"Hey, what are you two doing?!"

When Hiruda hurried back to the camera, he saw two children crawling on their seats, fiddling with something, and hurriedly ran over to them, scolding them.

Conan, whose eyes had been fixed on the viewfinder for a while, was roughly grabbed by the waist by the man behind him. He did not struggle, but turned his head scrutinizingly, looking at the man's ferocious face full of surprise and anger.

Nippon Television is a bit too careless when hiring people. Even if there is no need to leave the country, is it really okay to have such a frontline worker?
Haibara Ai, who was operating the camera handle for Conan, also let go and gently jumped down from the cameraman's position.

The two men looked at each other with intriguing expressions, but they tactfully made way for the cameraman to return to his seat.

The cameraman took two steps back to his chair without thinking, and was about to sit in front of the equipment to complete the next operation, but he saw two children standing on his left and right.

When he looked over, the two men not only did not retreat, but instead took a step closer, as if they wanted to see how he operated the machine.

"How dare you come and touch our camera without permission? Where are your parents?" Hiruda, who had hurriedly taken a gun, was trying to hide the gun in the camera's equipment. Seeing that the two children had no intention of leaving, he simply scolded them, "This is a live broadcast, we can't let the children touch it casually!"

"Is it not possible for us to take a look?" Huiyuan Ai deliberately said in a baby voice, her voice sounding particularly innocent and matter-of-fact, "We want to see how the TV is filmed."

"Go away, don't cause trouble for others!" Hiruda waved his hand rudely and glanced at the time.

He was feeling very anxious.

There were less than five minutes left before the official halftime break, so he had to hurry to hide his gun, then continue operating the camera and complete his instructions to his companions.

Although as a cameraman who needs to receive messages from the director at all times and keep the broadcast synchronized, he can reasonably wear communication headphones and not attract anyone's attention, but mumbling in front of the camera and mumbling in front of two children are two different things.

Even if the child didn't understand what he was saying, if he suddenly opened his mouth and his voice was transmitted to his companion's walkie-talkie, it would be no different from directly revealing his identity to the police.

"Oh, okay--" Conan said this in a disappointed tone, dragging out the tone.

Thinking that the two children were finally scared away, Hiruda slightly adjusted the camera that had been moved in the shooting direction. After waiting for a moment, he felt something was wrong and turned around to look, only to see that the two of them had only taken two steps back and still had no intention of leaving the photography area.

The pistol in the cameraman's arms was a Beretta. It was not very big, but it was definitely not small enough to be hidden anywhere.

What he wanted to do was to hide the pistol directly inside the large lens hood of the camera and use the viewfinder to accurately locate the target. It was impossible for him to take it out in front of two little kids.

“…I told you guys to get out of the way!” When Hiruda spoke again, his voice was filled with anger, and he almost threw the ball directly in the faces of the two children, “The adults are working, can’t you see?”

Conan and Haibara Ai looked at each other again and communicated silently with their eyes.

After confirming that they had the same purpose, they both suddenly started to cry loudly at the same time. Under the influence of Tang Ze, the acting genius, Haibara Ai's fake crying has become very real, with big tears falling in strings, and her face turned red in just a few seconds, and her nose was even redder. Combined with her cute and delicate appearance, it was hard not to feel soft-hearted.

Conan just howled, and his emotions were even interrupted for a moment because of Haibara Ai's overly realistic crying.

...I always feel that Huibara didn’t learn anything good from Tang Ze.

The cries of the children were extremely penetrating. Even in a stadium filled with noisy shouts, their voices immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding spectators. Even people in the coaching seats outside the fence couldn't help but look back because of the screaming sound.

Hiruda, who originally wanted to reduce other people's attention, suddenly panicked.

The audience members who were closer saw that they were two children who were not even as tall as their waists, and soon people gathered around them.

"What's wrong kid?"

"Oh, you're crying like this, are you lost? Can't you find your parents?"

"..."

The photography area, which was originally empty, suddenly gathered several people. Hiruda hurriedly pressed the gun in his arms, then looked at the countdown that showed not much time left, and gritted his teeth.

There was no other way. He had no time to communicate with the other party, and the other party was already rushing to Exit 18 for the handover. He could only hide the gun and wait to tell the police.

He turned on the switch of the earphones connected to the mobile phone and listened silently to the movement on the other end.

The noisy ambient sound gradually faded away, and it was not difficult to hear that his companions had left the noisy stands and walked into the corridor of the stadium.

The half-time whistle has already been blown, and the only sound that can be heard in the quiet corridor is the echoing footsteps.

After a full half minute, the footsteps finally stopped, followed by the sound of zippers being unzipped and flipping pages…

The heavy breathing of his companion who was also wearing headphones was muffled by his scarf and was very obvious. Hiruda could also hear his nervousness.

Both men were waiting for the policemen lurking nearby to jump out and arrest him so that they could carry out further extortion.

——After making such a big fuss, isn’t it too much of a loss to only charge 5000 million yen?
From the very beginning, their plan was to make Nippon Television pay 10 billion yen to compensate for their plans being interrupted by these troublesome media.

However, the man on the other end of the phone rummaged through the bag for a long time and was almost counting the banknotes in the bag one by one, but the surroundings were still quiet and there was no movement.

Nothing happened until he slowly pulled up the bag again and stood up straight, which stunned everyone on both ends of the phone.

This is impossible, this is not right. Hiruda started to think frantically.

He was a photographer in the broadcast team who needed to be on call at all times, so he was always on the broadcast team's channel. He heard everything clearly, from the director receiving the threatening call and ordering someone to call the police in panic to even the police's questions and instructions after the police car arrived at the scene.

But what about the people who were supposed to be arranged near the ransom? Why didn't they just stay and give the money to them? Hiruda was puzzled.

Just as the two kidnappers were standing there in an awkward position, a new voice came from among the noisy children and adults behind Hiruda.

"Ai, Conan, why are you here? Everyone, please make way. Sorry, please make way. This is my sister..."

"Brother, brother..."

Realizing that something was wrong, Hiruda moved his gaze away from the viewfinder and turned his head slightly to look over. He saw a young boy with the same hair color as the little girl squeeze into the crowd, pick up the child who was sitting on the ground, and pat him gently.

The crowd's attention was completely drawn to a few people, and Hiruda breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, even if they are very close to me, my actions will most likely not be discovered.

That's fine, let those who got the money leave first, and then he will call the director team to extort a second round of ransom...

With this in mind, Hiruda unzipped his vest, unfastened the straps hidden on his inner clothing, and grabbed the handle of the pistol.

Listening to the voice still coming into his ears through the headphones, Hiruda felt irritated and his malicious heart grew stronger.

It was a pity that he could only shoot at the audience stands opposite. Otherwise, if he really wanted to turn around, he would just shoot the troublesome kid and his parents together.

Getting rid of a few bastards can effectively increase the success rate of blackmail, so why not do it?

"Conan." Tang Ze, who was holding the child, pretended to pat him while turning around gently, letting Conan, who was lying on his shoulder, face the photographer.

Conan, with his hands around Tang Ze's neck, immediately adjusted his posture and opened the watch face at hand.

With the cover of Tangze and his own body, Conan pressed the launch button without hesitation.

Hiruda, who had just pulled out the pistol halfway, was hit by the anesthetic needle in the back of the neck with great precision. With a click, he fell straight backwards and fell off the high seat.

The Beretta that he was holding tightly in his hand was also brought out, and as he fell, it slid directly to Tang Ze's feet.

"Give way!"

"Police, we are on duty, please move aside!"

"Don't move! You're caught..."

When Takagi Wataru and others who received the action notice rushed over, they saw their suspect hanging on a chair with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes. It was obvious that he had lost consciousness and could definitely not continue to endanger public safety.

Takagi Wataru was stunned, looked around, and instinctively looked at Karasawa, who seemed to be very busy, holding Conan in one hand and patting Haibara Ai's head buried in her waist with the other hand.

He looked down at the gun that was under Tang Ze's feet and therefore did not attract the attention of the people around him. He moved his lips twice, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"I don't know what happened." Tang Ze looked innocent and rolled over the gun under his feet twice. "Maybe it's a sudden cerebral hemorrhage or something, or maybe cerebral palsy? Send him to the hospital, how about that?"

After all, without a ten-year cerebral hemorrhage, you won't be able to develop a magical circuit like "The TV station's program was interrupted, so I robbed a bank, so I didn't get the money and my girlfriend became decadent and committed suicide because of it, the TV station is fully responsible." It's definitely right to send him to the hospital.
