Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 803 Kumail is willing to help

"Is everything really okay?" Takagi Wataru looked at Tang Ze's wrist, which seemed to be fine, and then turned his head to observe Yoshii Risa, whose face was a mess and she was crying.

Perhaps due to the effect of adrenaline, Risa Yoshii did not seem to feel any pain from the part of her shoulder being grabbed. However, through her torn collar, she could clearly see several deep marks that had begun to turn blue.

Takagi Wataru was silent for two seconds, then grabbed Tang Ze's wrist without much belief, looked at his fingers carefully, and pinched his arm twice.

There was indeed no redness or heat anywhere, even the fingernails were not broken, the two or three millimeter nails were still smooth and round, which fully explained the origin of the holes on Risa Yoshii's clothes.

Can a young man who is not even 100 years old really catch a -pound object dropped ten meters away without any damage? Takagi Wataru couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.

"I'm really fine." Tang Ze moved his wrists and elbows twice, and then moved his shoulder joints up and down. Facing the gazes of several people, he spread his hands innocently, "Maybe the angle at which I caught him was right."

Although catching someone is a bit of a test of reaction ability and speed, but in terms of physical strength and intensity...

Kyogoku, who is currently arguing with Suzuki Sonoko in Tokyo, has something to say.

"Really..." Shiratori Renzaburo observed doubtfully for a while, and finally shook his head, "Forget it, you'd better go to the hospital with me. Ms. Yoshii Risa also needs to be sent there for a checkup."

Although she didn't look seriously injured, she had fallen from a height of more than ten or twenty meters after all. Even if she was rescued by accident, it was hard to say whether she was injured somewhere on her body.

From a humanitarian perspective, it is necessary to send her to the hospital.

Of course, it is also necessary to send the fugitive Minoru Fukase along as well.

"Fakase Minoru said that his right shoulder was injured after the conflict with Jinno Shuhei. He was busy escaping the pursuit and did not have time to treat it properly." Takagi Shigeru waved his hands helplessly, "It is necessary to send him to the hospital for examination, and the forensic doctor of the bureau will also be needed."

Whether it is an old injury or a new injury, and whether his statement is true, must be handed over to the forensic doctor in the bureau to conduct an injury assessment and then confirmed.

However, based on Takagi Wataru's experience, it seems that it is difficult for Minoru Fukase to raise his deputy now, so his statement is most likely not false.

This also meant that he could not be the serial killer. To lift a short knife with one hand and pierce a human body directly, killing with one blow, cleanly and neatly, required considerable strength, which was impossible for Minoru Fukase, who had a shoulder injury, to do.

"That's great, Tang Ze-kun, you can come over and take a look. Don't worry, if there are any medical expenses, the police will be fully responsible for them."

"Yes, after all, it was an accident that happened during the arrest. Don't worry, Tang Zejun, it won't cause any trouble to others."

"No, I'm really fine... Oh, come on, I'm really not hiding my illness, I... Okay, okay, let me put down my phone, I'll call my guardian first to explain..."

Conan followed closely, intending to take advantage of his good relationship with Karasawa to sneak in and take a look. He turned his head and looked at the policemen surrounding Fukase Minoru, then looked at Karasawa who had taken out his cell phone and had already started calling Amuro Toru, and frowned in confusion.

Toru Adachi did not come for this operation.

Considering what he heard, Adachi Toru really had no reason or position to follow suit.

As it happens, Minoru Fukase is not the real murderer and does not pose any threat to the organization...

So, is this because the organization has other arrangements within the task force, or did Toru Adachi already anticipate the current situation?
I always feel that this matter shouldn't have been so simple.

Thinking of this, Conan also took out his mobile phone.

Is it true that Irish Whiskey is the only one who organized this operation? Let's ask Huiyuan and Akechi Goro again...

----

"Something seems to have happened at the Rice Flower Department Store today. It seems someone jumped off the building in the mall."

"Ah? I heard that there were too many people and a girl was pushed down from the upper floor. People who want to commit suicide usually don't jump in a shopping mall. There are so many people, and it would be very unsettling if they hit someone else."

"Well, the version I heard was that the police were carrying out some special operation, and the people being rounded up jumped over the railing and jumped off the building in desperation."

"Is it so exaggerated? Didn't the person who jumped from the building say that he was rescued in time?"

"It must be related to the police. They said that the fugitive and his accomplices were all caught. Including the one who saved the man. The police seemed to suspect that he was their accomplice and arrested him together."

"Ah? How can we be accomplices? One person jumps off a building, and the other catches him from below. Are we running away together? Are you serious?"

Amuro Toru was distracted by the chattering female students at the table over there. He withdrew his gaze from the video on his phone and said perfunctorily to Ireland on the other end of the phone: "Kumair can't contact you, so I have to convey it on his behalf. I thought you knew it well enough."

The police officers from the task force who saw it at the scene naturally knew very well what Tang Ze had done.

As for the little video of saving people that has started to spread online...

Anyway, they only captured a back view, so it doesn’t matter. Team Zero is still busy with Kiharakawa and the real culprit of the case, and has no time to control public opinion.

If there really is any inappropriate content, their Phantom Thieves' Noah's Ark will naturally take the initiative to attack, and they don't need to worry about information security for him.

Clear? He knew it all too well.

Ireland crushed the cigarette case in his hand and smiled somewhat sinisterly.

Don't think that just because he saw the surveillance video, he couldn't see that Kumail had no intention of contacting the suspect and was just trying to be lazy.

What's the matter? After being a detective for so long, you don't even need to get close to the suspect. You can tell from a distance that Minoru Fukase is not the murderer?
Kumail and Bourbon don’t take him seriously at all…!
"No, that Kumail kid is trying to trip me up because he has a grudge against me." Ireland sneered and said bluntly, "Let him save some energy. I'll call Vermouth back."

It would be impossible to expect Kumail, with whom he had a bad relationship, to help him complete the task.

He didn't believe that Bourbon didn't feel that Kumail was so obsessed with playing the role of an excellent detective and a good student that his mind was not on the organization at all.

Even if Kumail's authority is not enough to know that Kudo Shinichi was killed by Gin, Edogawa Conan has been his neighbor for so long, doesn't he have the slightest suspicion of this overly smart little boy?

Or is it that Kumail, who had been trapped in the organization for more than a decade, had already become wild when he finally saw the light of day?
What is Bourbon's attitude towards this? It is hard to say what role these two deep-minded guys play in the organization now.

Maybe Edogawa Conan's killer move can solve more than just Gin's troubles.

"…Whether you believe it or not, this was not planned by Kumail. He just went to help you. He went to the location of the task force's operation as you requested and confirmed that this person was not the murderer. Kumail did not fail to complete any task." Feeling Ireland's surging desire for confrontation, Amuro Toru's voice became colder, "You are the one. Stop having unrealistic thoughts."

The only answer he got was another sneer from Ireland and the busy tone of the phone being hung up.

Moving the phone away, Amuro Tou rolled his eyelids and put the phone away as if nothing happened.

Let him be.

With Akei and Matsuda providing technical assistance to the Phantom Thieves, they only have two days to find Nanako Motogami's brother. By the scheduled critical date, which is Tanabata, even if Ireland can get the memory card back safely, it will already be second-hand information that they have already looked through.

It doesn't matter whether Tang Ze or Vermouth comes.

If there really is any difference, Tang Ze might even let him go because he took a few more beatings for Matsuda, and let Vermouth take over. Then Ireland would really be doomed.

I hope he is just threatening and does not really intend to change his assistant. Otherwise, I can only wish him good luck.

Ireland hung up Bourbon angrily, took the last cigarette in his mouth and threw it down the stairs.

The red Mars drew a parabola and disappeared into the gradually darkening sky.

Kumail is helpful, right? Bourbon thinks he is a fool, easy to fool?

He took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, and walked back to the meeting room.

The big screen over there is now playing the surveillance video brought back from the Mihua Department Store.

The screen is divided into four parts, showing the images of four different monitoring locations.

It can be clearly seen that first, Minoru Fukase walked into the building and looked around vigilantly. Then, Risa Yoshii on the fourth floor jumped up excitedly, leaned her whole body over the railing, waved vigorously and shouted loudly at Minoru Fukase downstairs.

Just at this moment, a group of very small children came up the escalator, running around recklessly and squeezing through the corner of the fourth floor.

In order to avoid the group of children, the tourists on the fourth floor stepped aside one after another and happened to bump into the back of Risa Yoshii who was leaning forward.

After a horrified expression, Risa Yoshii, who was trying to regain her balance and pull herself back to the ground, fell out completely, causing a commotion and screams from the people around her.

At the escalator on the second floor, Tang Ze, who was playing with his mobile phone with his head down, happened to be on the escalator to the second floor. After hearing the sound, he instinctively looked up, and then threw away the commuter bag on his shoulder without thinking, sprinted to the railing in two or three steps, and reached out his hand without hesitation to grab the falling woman.

The sudden heavy pressure made his back sink suddenly. He held on to the railing beside him tightly and managed to pull himself and Risa Yoshii together, thus avoiding the fate of being taken downstairs together.

Megure Juzo, who was sitting in the front row, silently pressed the pause button, and the picture froze at this position.

Everyone in the conference room was silent.

"I think the timeline is very clear. The accident happened before the arrest even started. It's definitely not because Fukase Minoru or Yoshii Risa noticed they were being followed and took some action." Megure Jusan spoke up, ending the chaotic fight of blaming each other. "Neither Nagano Prefecture nor the Investigation Division have any problem with this matter, and the students who saved the people have no problem with this. Fukase Minoru is definitely not the murderer. We think our list of suspects needs further adjustment."

Minoru Fukase is the most likely person to commit the crime among all those who may have a conflict of interest with the deceased. With his elimination, the current list of suspects has also become boring.

This means that their current investigation and screening have not been done to the best of their ability, and some deeper connections have been overlooked by them.

The others fell into a deep silence. On the contrary, Shancuncao, with a clear face, pointed to the paused picture on the monitor and said with emotion: "It's quite amazing, this guy saved people. He seems to be a student?"

"Well, as for Tang Ze, he does have some talent in physical skills and has quick reactions. So even though he is not injured, it is not a problem." Takagi Shigeru said, half explaining and half making excuses for Tang Ze.

What else could he say? People's constitutions cannot be generalized.

Some people fell from the tenth floor and got their skin scraped off, while others fell on flat ground and suffered subarachnoid hemorrhage and died before the ambulance could arrive.

Why should I doubt it? Doesn't Kudo-kun have a similar miraculous physique? Maybe all the students of Teitan High School are like this.

"No, I'm not questioning his ability." Shancuncao touched the back of his head, "I mean, even if I have the ability to do this, it's hard for me to make a choice without hesitation at the first time."

This is different from picking up trash casually. This is something that could really get you into trouble.

Yamamura Cao looked at the photo of Tang Ze placed next to him and couldn't help feeling inexplicably close to him.

When he was in Karuizawa, he came into contact with Karasawa, who was with Kogoro Mori, because he reported a case. Although he had the impression that they didn't talk much, he always had a feeling that this person might have a high emotional intelligence and was good at chatting.

He's a nice guy who's easy to get along with.

Zhu Fu Gaoming, who felt a chill on his back, looked at him with an indescribable look.

"...Kang Zejun said that he didn't think he could successfully hold her back at the time. He just subconsciously thought that at least a buffer would be good, so as to reduce the risk of death of the person falling from the building." Sato Miwako glanced at him and nodded firmly, "Kang Zejun is a person with this kind of personality."

So, can these guys from other places please stop putting their strange suspicions on Tang Ze who saved a life again?

Ireland, who had just come back from slacking off and smoking, sat in the last row. After listening to the praises from the audience, he reached out, turned over the photo of Tang Ze's smile, and put it on the table.

Seeing Kumail smiling brightly here late at night, I felt like I had stye from looking at him too much. It was unlucky.

"Inspector Megure!" Before the situation fell into a delicate state, Shiratori Jinzaburo, holding a dozen documents, pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in quickly. "A person who calls herself 'Shindo Sumire' contacted the police and said that she knew who the murderer of the serial cases was. She refused to explain on the phone and insisted that the police provide her with protection first!"
