The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

With the increase of his identities and the increasing importance of each identity, Tang Ze became increasingly busy. Except when he was specifically commissioned, he was not following Maori Kogoro so closely at other times.

In the front, there are Ireland and serial murder cases to bring him work, and in the back, there are the jobs created by the Jueshou family. In addition, there are the daily lives of the Phantom Thieves, Ruyue Fengshui's art exhibition, and the new egg that is taking shape...

In short, in a corner that he had no time to pay attention to, the encounter between Kogoro Mori and his group and Rena Mizunashi had already happened.

To be honest, this matter is still to blame on Tang Ze himself. If he was not so energetic and taught Maori Kogoro how to cook, Maori Kogoro might have declined the kitchen variety show where it was easy to embarrass himself. But although Maori Kogoro's cooking skills have not yet been practiced to a proficient level, his cooking proficiency is already very high. When he heard that it was a variety show that involved cooking in the kitchen and chatting, and his partner was still Okino Yoko, he accepted it without thinking.

So, that inconspicuous commission happened quietly in the corner.

Rena Mizunashi encounters a prank every Saturday morning. She hears the doorbell at the door, but sees no one when she opens the door. Being overly sensitive about her identity, she immediately becomes alert and tells this incident to Yoko Okino, whom she meets by chance at the TV station, as a worry.

As a famous detective that Yoko Okino has always admired, Kogoro Mori was introduced to Rena Mizunashi to help her solve this little strange doorbell case.

The bug that Conan had originally attached to the door as an auxiliary tool to listen to the movements at the door was temporarily forgotten because they stayed at Rena Mizunashi's house for a whole night to observe and wait for the criminal. Then Rena Mizunashi accidentally dropped the bug when she was opening and closing her door which was equipped with many locks, and it stepped on the sole of her high heels.

Then, as fate would have it, the nursery rhyme flowed out from the sound of her cell phone keys, along the radio waves of the bug, and into Conan's ears.

However, Conan, who had become somewhat cautious during the confrontation, did not follow the bug signal to track Rena Mizunashi's whereabouts as planned. Instead, after confirming that Rena Mizunashi had met with someone from the organization, he immediately informed the doctor, Haibara Ai and others, as well as Hattori Heiji who was also trying to track down the organization.

Although Rena Mizunashi is not very old, she is already a TV host who is almost a household name in Tokyo. Due to her good appearance and excellent work ability, she is favored by many famous programs and is a frequent guest on TV screens.

She has participated in many talk shows and is often responsible for outdoor interviews and appearances. Her interpersonal relationships are not complicated, but she has come into contact with too many people, so many that she cannot tell which of them are related to the organization and which are just smokescreens or daily work.

Just checking variety shows and looking for all kinds of news has exhausted Conan's energy, so he had to hand over the task of investigating her specific background to Hattori Heiji, who had more channels.

"...Excellent school, strong language skills, good looks and strong ambition. In short, judging from her background, there is nothing wrong with her as an ace reporter." After briefly describing his findings, Hattori Heiji concluded, "If this person is deeply connected to the organization, then there will be big problems."

Although there is an unexpected existence like Vermouth, it seems that the organization does not care whether its members show up in public or not, but Vermouth's position in the organization is unusual, and it is hard to say whether it can be regarded as a common situation.

But now look at Goro Akechi, and then look at Rena Mizunashi...

"If the organization's hidden identities among 'ordinary people' are all glamorous people who attract public attention, then even if they are proven to be related to illegal activities, the impact will be huge. You understand what I mean, Kudo." Hattori Heiji said bluntly.

If these people were just ordinary people, even if they were high-level figures with less connection to the mass media, even if it was revealed that they were engaged in illegal transactions behind the scenes, except for the stakeholders, the general public would not be overly concerned about what happened to these people whose names they have never heard of.

But if this happens to a group of celebrities, especially those who are highly watched...

Conan slapped his forehead and felt a headache when he thought about the day when he squatted in front of Rena Mizunashi's door. He knocked on her door every Saturday innocently because he loved her show and was afraid that she would miss the kids at work.

If such a child knew that Mizuno Rena was not the gentle and kind host sister he imagined...

"And you want to conduct a secret investigation without telling Karasawa, which means you are not going to go through the channel of Akechi Goro to confirm his identity. This will be very troublesome, Kudo. We still lack understanding of this organization, and we haven't even been able to outline its outline. It is difficult and dangerous to rashly use our personal identity to try to solve their puzzle."

Hattori Heiji's hint is very obvious.

Rena Mizunashi is a celebrity on television media, and Goro Akechi, who is also quite popular on the screen, must know something about it.

If he knew Rena Mizunashi's identity, the investigation would naturally go smoothly. Even if he didn't know, it would definitely be better for him as a member of the organization to get in touch with her and get to know her than for Conan to put himself in danger.

Conan rubbed his forehead again, almost rubbing his smooth forehead red, and answered with a headache: "I know what you mean, Hattori. But you didn't see the expression on Tang Ze's face just now. I really have no doubt that if the member of the organization who killed his parents stood in front of him, he would not hesitate to do his best to kill him immediately."

Well, not that exaggerated.

However, Conan could still tell whether his friend was joking or really meant it.

Although considering Rena Mizunashi's age and the nature of her work, she is more likely to be a nail or killer used by the organization to target specific people, and the possibility of her being related to the Karasawa couple is low, he still hopes to eliminate the risk a little.

Hattori Heiji surrendered immediately, saying helplessly, "Okay, okay, don't use such a serious tone, I won't tell him privately. But if we really investigate this kind of thing, there will always be a time when we need to find someone to verify it, and we can't keep it secret for long."

"I know. So we still need to investigate this matter as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, I will do my best."

After hanging up the phone, Conan leaned against the window of the office, thinking about things with a heavy heart. He didn't know that it would not be long before his secret would be exposed along with his tracking of Mizunashi Rena and Hondou Eisuke's uninvited visit.

Anyway, the people he invited have no worries at all on the organization's side.

"Are we going on a long journey together? Then, what about the new kid? Should we leave him here?" After hearing Tang Ze's request, Miyano Akemi put down the account book she was recording and put the end of her pen on her chin to think, "I feel like Matsuda-kun might not agree. You want to go with Shiho and the others this time, but Shiho won't be able to take care of you."

Yes, the Shitara family's family gift package not only successfully added a new non-staff member to their team, but also contributed to the progress of the next resurrection target with guaranteed quality and quantity. Newegg has settled down in the base for several days.

This is also the reason why Tang Ze felt a little guilty and didn't dare to approach Amuro Toru in the past two days. With the examples of Morifushi Keimitsu and Matsuda Jinpei, Amuro Toru probably accepted it easily, but if he knew that the progress bar was still being read, he would probably find it difficult to suppress his occupational disease and want to find out more about their resurrection progress and methods...

Well, maybe connections in the art world are very important for one's development. Kitagawa Yusuke has only been in business for a short time, but big orders are being stuffed into their hands like crazy as if they were free...

Tang Ze glanced in the direction of the laboratory and shrugged, "In fact, Vermouth has completely stopped watching our home, so we don't have to be so strict. If Matsuda really wants to hatch the eggs, just let him load the eggs in the RV and take them along..."

The RV they bought was planned and laid out strictly according to the maximum number of people possible. In order to facilitate work, it was also equipped with equipment that facilitates working outside, including a desktop computer and mobile network. Even if the egg is a bit big, it is no problem to move a place for it.

"...Do you want to take the egg with you to investigate?" Miyano Akemi's mouth twitched a little. "Even if you often have strange ideas, it's still too strange to ask for this."

"Why not?" Tang Ze was very calm. "This time it is probably a big goal, maybe we can speed up the progress bar."

After all, that was the divine gold that had left him with a deep memory, so it would definitely be very valuable if it were dug out.

"Forget about this kind of thing." Thinking of how Jinpei Matsuda would clock in at the lab three times a day without fail, Miyano Akemi could only nod helplessly, "I'll go ask Shiho first. Matsuda-kun is always in there, and Shiho can't stand it anymore."

What she said was somewhat euphemistic. To be more precise, Haibara Ai had long lost her patience and got too angry by pointing at Jinpei Matsuda's nose.

Haibara Ai speaks softly outside the laboratory, sometimes with a mysterious accent, but her style in the laboratory is completely inherited from Ikawa Karasawa, and she is undoubtedly a laboratory tyrant.

Although her laboratory does have some content related to cognitive science, it is mainly engaged in biomedical research. Her work on reverse engineering of drug A and further iteration of the antidote is still in full swing. She gets very angry when she has a colleague who passes by every day as if he comes to check on the incubator.

Matsuda Jinpei had been caught by her yesterday for sneaking into the laboratory again, and was being held in the basement to wash the flasks for her.

"That can't be helped. After all, she is his most important friend." Tang Ze spread his hands, indicating that he could do nothing to help. "She was his childhood friend who grew up with him and became the cause of his death. I can understand that he can't calm down."

Although they all have a good relationship with each other as classmates in the police academy, and have developed into close friends because of their common interests and schoolmate friendship, the friendship between good friends who grew up together, such as Jinpei Matsuda, Kenji Hagiwara, Rei Furuya, and Kagemitsu Morobushi, is definitely deeper.

That is to say, Tang Ze kept it a secret when Zhu Fu Jingguang was there. If Amuro Toru knew their plan and action rhythm in advance, this guy might also come to their laboratory to hatch eggs...

Zhu Fujingguang, who was sitting on the side and felt that he was being attacked for no reason, looked up from the computer, cleared his throat and changed the subject: "Let's talk about this new operation. It requires all of us to go out. There must be something that makes you feel unusual, right?"

"More than a dozen lives, what do you think?" Tang Ze supported his chin with both hands and narrowed his eyes. "Generally speaking, I would describe a guy who killed so many people as extremely vicious, but I might use a different term for this murderer. He must be the kind of person whose desires are infinitely inflated and override human nature."

This time, even Xingchuan Hui, who was dozing on the sofa, raised his head and looked at Tang Ze.

"More than a dozen lives, was it intentional damage?" Shimabukuro Kimie, who was diligently cleaning the war room, straightened up with the broom and confirmed with some shock, "That's too horrible..."

In terms of impact, they have witnessed people who caused more serious consequences. During the incident at the Nagato family, they had come into contact with Nagato Mitsuki, who caused a major fire accident simply because of negligence and arrogance. But in terms of cruelty, he was not someone who killed people by relying on his personal strength. The number of casualties was purely a tragedy caused by the cowardice of not daring to bear the consequences and the untimely response of the local fire department.

This is the first time in their records that someone has killed so many people at once for personal desires.

"Yes. Once human desires expand, they will do anything, and the more serious the consequences of this enthusiasm, the less likely the person involved will give up." Tang Ze said lightly and looked down at the business card in his hand.

Other titles or addresses are not important. The last name of Mamiya alone is enough to arouse Tang Ze's vigilance.

This was the request received by Goro Akechi. Combined with the recent schedule information from Haibara Ai, Tang Ze has basically figured out what the case is.

Precisely because he understood the whole process very well, Tang Ze felt that he needed to pay more attention to it.

"Moreover, I feel that this guy's palace has been affected by so many lives, so there must be something special about it. It is necessary to get to know him better and get in touch with him." Tang Ze shook the business card in his hand and threw out another reason why he was keeping an eye on this case.

He has not forgotten the tragedy that took place in the Dusk Villa, which was once deeply connected to Karasuma Renya and he might come into contact with it in the near future.

Dozens of people died overnight, all because of a secret message about hidden treasure...

Tang Ze instinctively felt that this incident must have some significance from the special perspective of cognitive science. As for what it was, he felt that he could get a glimpse of it from this trip.
