Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 792 Pulling Hatred and Pulling Hatred

"There are so many people here..." Kogoro Mouri glanced over and saw that the conference room was half full and bustling, and he let out a sigh of relief.

Since he stopped working in this field, he hasn't seen such a scene of police officers from all over the country gathering together for many years.

"There's nothing we can do. This case involves too many places. Tokyo, Kanagawa, Shizuoka, Nagano, plus the death that happened a few days ago. The crime scene alone involves police from several places, plus the hometowns of many victims..." Takagi Shigeru, who was mainly responsible for introducing Kogoro Mori to other people, shrugged with a wry smile.

Conan, who had been eavesdropping, made an expression of realization.

This joint investigation meeting, as the name suggests, is held for the purpose of investigation.

If the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department had not taken the lead in connecting and coordinating resources, and the local police had to rely solely on themselves to integrate all information, communicate and visit, the case would probably not be solved until next year.

To put it bluntly, because of the appearance of the fifth death and the clear interconnectedness of several cases, the pressure on the police has been maximum, and they can no longer afford to worry about funding and other resources.

Out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Toru Adachi standing in the crowd holding a paper cup of coffee, looking somewhat out of place with the others. Conan thought for a moment, stood up and sneaked closer, preparing to place a bug on Kogoro Mouri.

It is necessary to understand the specific circumstances of this case, and if possible, it is best to provide some help to assist them in solving the case.

At the very least, no matter who provides the key clues to solving the case, that person cannot be Adachi Toru. He must think of a way to prevent this kind of dirty-hearted guy from climbing to a high position.

Nowadays, Tang Ze's case can reflect such great resistance. If the people involved in the case climb to a higher place, it will be even more difficult to solve the case.

Karasawa and Mao Lilan, who noticed Conan's actions, blinked, but no one pointed it out. They just turned their heads and looked at each other, pretending to be unaware of Conan's actions, and even started chatting.

"By the way, Adachi Toru came to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Your inspector didn't say anything this time, right?" Mao Lilan remembered the reason why Tang Ze followed her and asked with concern, "Although he has not been reinstated as a police officer, as a consultant directly under the Metropolitan Police Department, perhaps he can also affect the situation on your side?"

The previous case in Izu was solved smoothly, and after Tang Ze came across the murder scene, he took the initiative to prevent further harm from happening.

Even if the person in charge of investigating the case is Adachi Toru, Karasawa's behavior is impeccable and he is fully cooperating with the other party's work. I hope Adachi Toru will not put any obstacles in Karasawa's way this time...

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Tang Ze glanced in another direction along the corridor, and quickly looked away. "Minor-related cases and work have a high priority. Mr. Adachi is just a consultant, and it's difficult for him to interfere in my affairs."

In addition, Tang Ze's identity is sensitive and of great significance to the organization. Even if Ireland wants to find trouble with Kumail, it dare not touch Tang Ze's identity.

Tang Ze came to the Metropolitan Police Department today on the one hand to fulfill the task assigned by Vermouth and take a look at Ireland's disguise, and on the other hand to send Zhu Fushi Jingguang, who had disguised his identity, to the Zero Group.

Furiya Rei has already started an investigation around the Kihara River, but after all, they do not understand the true methods of the Phantom Thief of Hearts well enough, and the information provided may not meet their needs. Naturally, Karasawa sent Morifushi Kagemitsu, who was in charge of diplomatic work, over.

The office area of ​​Team Zero is a confidential area that requires permission. It is difficult to enter and exit freely without the leadership of Karasawa. After all, the existence of Morobushi Keimitsu is a secret, even if his surface identity was arranged by Furuya Zero.

The Metropolitan Police Department and the National Police Agency are two adjacent office buildings, very conveniently located.

The other thing is...

Tang Ze looked at the corner on the other side of the corridor.

There, a man with a mustache, whose face looked 70% similar to Zhufu Jingguang, was walking along, talking to his colleagues along the way.

He turned his head again and looked at the glass door that he had been leaning against for a while.

The man with the hood on had his back to them, seemingly not noticing the situation here at all. He just stretched out his bandaged hand, silently pulled the brim of his hat, and lowered his head even deeper.

In addition, Zhufu Jingguang, who had not seen his relatives for a long time, still wanted to see how Zhufu Gaoming was doing.

Even though they couldn't recognize each other yet, even though they couldn't even tell each other the real situation and could only look at each other from afar, the feeling of seeing the brother they had been separated from for so many years was still different. Tang Ze could understand his feelings very well.

"Mr. Mori, why are you here? Aren't you here to attend the case investigation meeting today?" The Yokomizo brothers walked over to meet Takagi Wataru and others who were introducing Mori Kogoro to others. Yokomizo, who had a shaved head, looked Mori Kogoro up and down with a disapproving expression, "Did you run into another case and become a witness?"

Everyone understood the implication of his words, and they were just short of asking directly why such outsiders had infiltrated the police's internal meeting.

"That was what Manager Matsumoto wanted," explained Miwako Sato, who was in charge of the negotiations. "This time, Manager Matsumoto thought the case was complicated and the deadline was high, so he invited an expert in this area to participate in the investigation as a special consultant."

She raised her hand to show Kogoro Mouri, who was wearing a special badge on his chest, then turned her head to gesture to Toru Adachi, who was wearing the same badge not far away, using a rather euphemistic term to refer to these two special participants.

"Invite the detective who's always making a fuss in front of the media?" Shigeo Yokomizo, who had a crew cut, shrugged. It was obvious that he wasn't interested in Kogoro Mori, who was highly respected by the Metropolitan Police Department. His words showed his dislike for the detective's deep involvement in the case. "This is a major case involving many places. It's not appropriate to directly invite the detective to attend the police meeting."

"It is precisely because of the special nature of the case that Manager Matsumoto took all factors into consideration and invited these two consultants..." Sato Miwako did not refute his sharp comments, but just said tactfully, "You two should be very clear about the confidentiality issue."

The reason for choosing such an advisor was not only due to Kogoro Mori's recent excellent performance, but also because of his and Toru Adachi's identities as former detectives.

If a person has no police background at all, even if he is an outstanding detective, the Metropolitan Police Department will not consider letting him join the special task force directly.

"It's really embarrassing to ask for help from a detective before reaching any interim conclusion." Yokomizo Shigego shook his head, his expression still full of dissatisfaction.

"I also think that the Metropolitan Police Department is a little inconsiderate." Morobushi Takaaki, who walked closer, took over the conversation, but his eyes were not at Maori Kogoro. Instead, he looked over the shoulders of several people and glanced in the direction of Adachi Toru, who had never participated in social activities and therefore had a low sense of presence.

Compared to Kogoro Mori, who has become famous and frequently appears in major media, this silent guy has bigger problems.

There may be controversy as to whether Kogoro Mouri is suitable to participate in the meeting as a detective, but as a well-known public figure, at least Kogoro Mouri has a clean background, and the reason for leaving the police force does not involve any flaws in his personal ability or character.

But this Adachi Toru is different.

How on earth did the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department consider re-hiring such a guy... "Officer Morobushi, it's you who led the team here this time." Yokomizo Shigego looked at Morobushi Takaaki and took the initiative to greet him.

Generally speaking, in order to facilitate coordination with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, local areas rarely allow the real police officers in charge to participate in such task forces. After all, no one can tell how long they will need to stay in Tokyo because of the case. Solving the case is important, but it would be inappropriate to affect the work situation on their side.

Zhu Fushi Takaaki is a practical man with a brilliant record of military achievements. He is the backbone of the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters.

"Ah, it just so happens that I'm on vacation recently for some reasons, and I'm not busy with work, so I just brought people here." Retracting his gaze from Adachi Toru, Zhufu Takaaki greeted a few people, put a smile on his lips again, and introduced himself to Maori Kogoro and other people who were not familiar with him.

Tang Ze was originally watching Conan who had sneaked back after installing the bug. When he heard these words, he couldn't help but look in the direction of Zhu Fu Jingguang.

It's easy to imagine that this was probably the aftereffect of Zhufu Jingguang's previous anonymous provocation against Furuya Rei.

The preparations for the emergency transfer of Zhu Fu Gaoming were definitely not as simple as just carrying the person away. If the two men had not met quickly enough, Zhu Fu Gaoming would have been carried out of the border.

Although it turned out to be a false alarm, the normal work order in Nagano Prefecture was definitely affected.

Tang Ze, whose eyes had been sweeping over Ireland intentionally or unintentionally, thought of this, took out his mobile phone, typed in Ireland's email address and sent a few words.

The distinctive features on the faces of the two Zhufu brothers are too similar. If Zhufu Gaoming hadn't grown a beard, which somewhat changed the first impression of his appearance, the facial features of the two would be even more overlapping, and it would be easy to be exposed in a single encounter.

...Just think about how outrageous it is. Why would you choose someone who still has relatives alive and who might be discovered to be an undercover agent? Are you in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department capable of doing this?

The reason why Tang Ze was chosen so smoothly in his previous life, in addition to factors such as his personal ability and character, was also very important because he had no close relatives alive.

Forget it, they were able to send a pair of childhood friends to the same place to be undercover by accident, so it doesn't seem strange no matter how outrageous it is.

Tang Ze complained in his heart, but the speed of sending emails in his hand was not slow at all.

He promised Zhufu Jingguang that he would divert Ireland's attention, and now was the time to stop Ireland from paying more attention to Zhufu Gaoming.

So Ireland, who had just turned around to look at the new policeman, seemed to hear the notification tone of his mobile phone and frowned.

He is currently hiding among a group of policemen. Who is so tactless as to send an email to his organization using their phone number at this time?

Although he was complaining in his heart, but worried that it was an order from the organization, Ireland still pulled out his cell phone from his inner pocket.

After just one look, the corner of his eye twitched violently.

This was an email address he was not familiar with, and it was definitely not from a member he frequently contacted.

Just the opening title was enough to make Ireland's face completely gloomy.

[Ireland, so you are Ireland.

I'm really grateful for your care during our last meeting, haha.

But your skills in playing a completely unfamiliar role are really poor. Don't waste the identity we have worked so hard to find for you.】

Hey, hey, hey, this guy Kumail, he is thinking that he is surrounded by police and there is no possibility of trouble for him, so he speaks without restraint here, right?

What do you mean his acting skills are worrying? That was clearly the identity information provided by Kumail and his gang themselves.

Ireland walked across the crowd and glared at Tang Ze who was playing with his mobile phone with his head down, and as a result, he received vigilant sidelong glances from several people in the search class.

Sato Miwako frowned even more, stretched out her hand to tug at Takagi Wataru's sleeve, and said in a dissatisfied voice: "With so many people here, you dare to threaten Tang Ze so bluntly. Sure enough, what Conan said about him threatening Tang Ze privately was indeed true. You should pay more attention to it later, and don't let him find a chance to get close to Tang Ze."

When Takagi Shige turned his head, he happened to catch Ireland's fierce gaze, which he had not had time to retract. His heart also beat fast and he nodded secretly.

One thing we have to be careful about is not letting him get in touch with Tang Ze.

If minors can be threatened and attacked in the Metropolitan Police Department building, these police officers should just stop doing this.

"Everyone, how is the communication going?" Megure Jusan, who came over with Shiratori Renzaburo, clapped his hands, attracting the attention of the whole audience, "Can we start the meeting? Here are some basic information that I need to communicate with you first."

"Okay, sorry."

"Thanks for your hard work."

The policemen gathered in the corridor stopped talking, took the distributed materials from Megure Juzo, and filed into the meeting room.

As the doors in front and behind the conference room closed, the entire corridor fell completely silent.

After taunting Ireland, Tang Ze, who had secured his revenge, put away his phone as if nothing had happened and directly reached out and pulled Conan's arm.

Although Noah was there, it was easy to hear the content of the meeting. Even if he didn't listen, Tang Ze knew what they were going to discuss.

But I have already watched the detective put up the bug. If I don't take advantage of it, it will be so embarrassing when we discuss the case later.

"Headphones, give me one." Tang Ze blatantly made the sound of eavesdropping.
