The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

Chapter 868 The Power of Decision-making

"You look very confident..." Facing the gaze of the Hakuba detective, Tang Ze tilted his head calmly, "The profile you described does match mine to some extent, but it doesn't sound very reasonable. How did you come to these conclusions? Did you also rely on the police investigation?"

Tang Ze was really curious about this.

According to his impression, Hakuba Detective is indeed an elite among detectives, but he is not the type who likes to rely on his family background. This time, the process of investigating Kidd will encounter a murder case, which is probably not the so-called investigation result obtained by using resources as he described.

He would take the initiative to say that he was the son of the White Horse Police Chief, not so much to show that his source of information was the police, but actually to gain the trust of the strangers in the room.

Baima Tan is a scientific research detective who does big data himself.

It's like, Batman, eh.

Maybe the name of red herring is a good one.

"Some little detective tricks." Bai Ma shrugged his shoulders and said in a light tone, "According to my guess, something may have happened during the years when Kaito Kid was silent. This is actually very common in the criminal world. For example, the criminal suddenly fell ill or died, or his living environment changed drastically, so he had to change his means of committing crimes, or even disappeared from the scene..."

Bai Ma Tan said this and pointed in the direction of Tang Ze.

"Or maybe he got married, had children, and accepted a disciple..."

Tang Ze raised his eyebrows and had some guesses in his mind.

This is no longer just a general statement, it is definitely meant to be meaningful. Baiba Tan came to Japan this time with a big goal.

"Um..." The two of them kept looking at each other. When their eyes met, Kuroba Kaito weakly raised his hand and said, "I don't mean to interrupt you two, but did you hear any sound?"

----

"This lady has already killed an enemy. She is determined to kill."

Putting down the telescope in his hand, Jinpei Matsuda sighed softly and took two steps back.

The vast snow suddenly disappeared as he retreated. He walked back into the warm RV, took the hot coffee handed to him by Hagiwara Kenji and took two sips.

The snow outside was getting heavier, as if determined to carry out the concept of Blizzard Mountain Villa to the end. The sky was covered with powdery snow, and the cold wind alone was enough to chill people to the bone.

"It can't be helped. The guy who was chosen by the leader must be extraordinary." Xingchuan Hui raised his head with a book in his hand. "But, this is not a bad thing for you, right?"

The fundamental reason why Toru Amuro agreed to let Kogoro Mori accompany Ran Mori and Sonoko Suzuki to attend a gathering of netizens was that he wanted to see what secrets his peers were guarding so closely.

"On this matter, let's all be nice to each other..." Jinpei Matsuda slapped his forehead, feeling a headache.

As the original founder of the Phantom Thieves, Karasawa has too much black history in his hands. Normally, Karasawa would not sell out his teammates for no reason, but facing a special character like Furuya Rei, who knows if he will let something embarrassing slip out if he lets go...

"We don't have a big problem." Zhu Fu Jingguang turned his eyes away from the monitor and said calmly, "Zero will find out eventually. The squad leader's situation is rather special and it is indeed worth treating well. By that time, it will be impossible to hide it. But, Xingchuan, you..."

He glanced at the high school textbook in Xingchuan Teru's hand, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and finally patted his shoulder helplessly.

Since this detective named Hakuba-Tan came to the door because of Goro Akechi's reputation, it would be impossible for Karasawa to not persecute Hoshikawa next.

Xingchuan Hui wrapped the blanket tightly around himself and turned to the next page silently: "Then I'm fine. If he really wants to compete with Bai Ba Tan in public, Tang Ze will not sit idly by. Don't look at him like this, he is serious about managing each of his fake identities."

It would be fine to let him appear on ordinary variety shows, but if it comes to a serious competition of detective skills, Hoshikawa Teru knows that he has no chance of winning.

Although he had undergone a long period of training by Tang Ze and had been forced into actual combat many times, it was not a problem for Xingchuan Hui to call himself a detective now, but compared with the real elites like Hakuba Tan, he was still far behind.

Before Karasawa completely abandons the identity of Goro Akechi, there is certainly no way that Karasawa will allow this vest to have any stain, so the person who will fight against Hakuba Tan will definitely be Karasawa himself.

"And don't you think that Tang Ze really seems to be interested in Hakuba Tan?" Miyano Akemi raised her chin towards the monitor. "If there is a good opportunity to confront the other party as Akechi, he won't let anyone else."

"Is this why he went to the website to reply personally?" Asai Chengmi, who was sitting in the driver's seat, turned around and said, "I was wondering why he suddenly noticed the online request..."

"Hey, a murder is about to happen outside, you guys are too leisurely." Hagiwara Kenji pressed his temple, a little helpless, "Why don't you stop it? Now that we know the cause and effect, I think the price is too high for both the deceased and the murderer..."

The broken suspension bridge and the heavy snow and wind cut off contact with the outside world, but it was impossible for Tang Ze and the Phantom Thieves to be disconnected.

Therefore, everyone in the car had heard everything that happened in the house through Tang Ze's perspective. Combined with the information Tang Ze gave on the road, everyone understood the cause and effect of the whole incident.

The starting point of everything is actually not bad. Chunjing Fengchuan, who is still interested in young people's hobby groups at an old age, is a very easy-going old man. He chose to try acting again. It is not so much that he was instigated by people in the group, but rather that he wanted to respond to those expectations.

There are indeed people like Hamano Toshiya in this group who don't take magic seriously and speak rudely, but there is also no shortage of young people like Suzuki Sonoko who are just curious about magic.

An aging legend heard young people talking about their own legend and couldn't help but reminisce about the past and wanted to return to his beloved stage again. If such a tragedy had not happened, this would have been a good story.

After discovering this, Tanaka Takahisa was originally just regretful and sad, but it did not develop to the point of murderous intent. However, although there were few people like Hamano Toshiya, the damage done in the morning could not be erased by a few kind words.

"Karazawa doesn't want to interfere." Miyano Akemi folded her hands on her knees and said something cruel. "Although Ms. Tanaka Takahisa is not a magician, she has been exposed to the props of Harui Fuden since she was a child. In fact, she is deeply affected by the X-alloy, just like Ms. Miyoshi Asako who killed Kyujuku Motoyasu. Once a conflict breaks out, their emotions will be more intense than ordinary people and almost impossible to reverse."

"Then just watch her kill people?" Kenji Hagiwara frowned in disapproval.

"Oh, Mr. Hagiwara, are you a procedural justice person?" Shimabukuro Kimie raised her head, full of curiosity. "Then you will probably have a hard time. Our methods, as you know, are not very common, and we rarely follow the rules."

"No, I'm absolutely against fighting violence with violence, but..." Hagiwara Kenji pressed his forehead helplessly, "I just think, has it really come to this? Is it going to get to the point where someone has to be killed just because of one or two excessive words?"

Well, after waking up, he had learned about the possible style of this future team from his good friends, and actually felt their complete detachment from social life and almost indifferent state. Only then did Kenji Hagiwara put himself in their shoes and felt what the words "If Karasawa goes astray, Hagi, we may have to run away on the spot" meant.

Miyano Akemi lowered her head and picked up her teacup: "Karazawa's idea is that 'verbal karma is also karma'. Although it is indeed a bit radical, he feels that he cannot make decisions on behalf of Tanaka Takahisa just because of his subjective thoughts. Since she has made the decision and is willing to bear all the consequences for it, then stopping her is not the most important thing."

Kenji Hagiwara was a little speechless. He looked at the expressions of Jinpei Matsuda and Kagemitsu Morobushi, then sighed and said nothing more.

Having only known them for a few days, he hadn't developed any tacit understanding with this group of people. He only knew that they were a group of avengers who were rescued by Tang Ze after they had burned out their emotions about their past lives and their own circumstances.

This world may not be completely free of their ties, but the connection between them is actually very weak.

Asai Narimi still has his adoptive parents who raised him, and Shimabukuro Kimie also has his old friends and classmates, but to them these contacts are no longer important and were abandoned when revenge began.

Like ashes that have been burned to ashes, if Tang Ze had not carefully collected them, they might have been blown away by the wind.

These people are re-anchoring their future lives through the special existence of the Phantom Thieves, and Tang Ze, the helmsman, has become that anchor.

Tang Ze is undoubtedly aware of this, so he said that he will be responsible for everyone's future...

He is willing to bear all the weight and responsibility of decisions and choices.

Kenji Hagiwara looked at the monitor with a complicated expression.

There, Karasawa, who avoided Hakuba's sight and found Kuroba Kaito to talk in private, was also talking about Tanaka Takahirae.

"I don't quite agree with it, but you know, I always respect anyone who makes a decision after careful consideration. As for them having to pay a price for that, I think it's reasonable."

----

"So, you put her back to her original position?" Kuroba Kaito frowned when he heard his somewhat indifferent statement, and confirmed again, "She wanted to use this time to kill Hamano Toshiya, right?"

He had doubts about this when he came to the meeting.

The most important reason why Kuroba Kaito appeared here was naturally his concern for magicians, but more importantly, Mr. Harui Fuden was once a colleague who got along very well with Kuroba Toichi.

This is the senior he respects, so after discovering something unusual in the other party's account, Kuroba Kaito was so eager to find out the situation.

However, these doubts were no longer questions after he heard the news of Xishanwu's death.

Except for Tanaka Takahisa, a relative of Harui Fuden, no one else had any reason to escape the king's order, and it was too late to stop it now.

His keen hearing caught the sad sound of breaking air in time, and he knew that Tanaka Takahisa had finally made up his mind to take action. While he sighed, he also felt a little dissatisfied with Tang Ze, the guy who claimed to break the cycle of evil.

What on earth have you been protecting?

"No, although I decided not to stop her actions, I still made it more difficult for her." Tang Ze shook his finger, "I attracted two detectives by myself, and they are both top-notch active detectives. If she can withstand such intensity and kill people, then I really admire her first-class mobility."

This time, without the external intervention of physical discomfort, Conan’s role is not as simple as delivering messages.

Coupled with the aggressive Hakuba spy who came in to block Kidd, to be honest, it would be quite difficult for Tanaka Takahisa to kill his enemy without any hindrance as he did before.

"How come you were the one who lured that Hakuba guy here?" Even through the thick mask, the corners of Kuroba Kaito's mouth twitched noticeably. "He was testing you a few times, don't take it too seriously."

"You don't really think that Hakuba returned to Japan just to arrest you." Tang Ze looked back with disdain, "He was just looking for an excuse. Don't take it too seriously."

Hakuba's enthusiastic attitude towards catching the phantom thief made Amuro Toru a little unhappy, because Amuro Toru didn't know this person very well.

However, Tang Ze knew very well that Hakuba's attitude towards Kid was similar to Conan's.

If you have an opponent who is intellectually competent but not a threat to society, then playing against him a few times and deciding the winner in the confrontation would be a challenging and interesting thing.

It is a bit disrespectful to say that he gave up his promising detective career in the UK and transferred to Japan just because of a few provocations on the Internet and the news of Kidd's active appearance.

"The purpose of Bai Ma might be similar to yours." Tang Ze raised his hand and pointed at his collar suggestively.

This is the second time he has chosen this location.

When he was the Joker, the metal brooch from his father hung here.

"Perhaps he used another method and came to a similar conclusion as you. Magicians and X-alloys are inextricably linked."

As he spoke, Tang Ze reached out and opened the tightly closed bathroom door.

A sharp arrow almost grazed his cheek, leaving a golden luster on its trajectory and nailed to the wall behind them.

Tang Ze pointed at the short arrow.

There, a piece of metal of unclear material, like brass or gold, was pulled by a sharp steel wire and nailed firmly into the wall.
