The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

Chapter 948 Money is not everything

"It could be...what does that mean?"

"Well, in short," Tang Ze's mind worked quickly, and he immediately came up with a suitable explanation, "I will not admit that I am Kaito Kidd. After finishing this conversation, I will forget everything that happened now. I can only say that if you want to ask about the Egg of Memory, I can indeed answer some of your questions."

"Oh, oh..." Natsumi Kosaka nodded blankly, and understood his hint.

This is because they are worried that if they voluntarily admit their identity, they might be caught or heard by others, which would bring them into trouble. So they can answer questions but forget about those regarding their identity.

She quickly found a reasonable explanation and let go of this somewhat strange answer, returning her focus to the truth she wanted to know.

"You asked the steward to pass this thing on to you on the ship. Is it really...?"

Recalling the shock she felt in her heart when she returned to the room and saw the intact handicraft placed on the table, glowing under the light, Natsumi Kosaka instinctively clasped her hands together again, pinching her fingers until they turned white.

Tang Ze confirmed her guess: "Yes. It is the real 'Egg of Memories'. I believe that its value to you is more important than the title of a 'collection'. You should not mind that the 'real Egg of Memories' has been placed in the Suzuki family's art museum."

"Of course I don't mind!" Kosaka Natsumi opened her eyes wide, "But according to what you said, won't the Suzuki family find out about this? In that case..."

"Ms. Sonoko knows about this. She has no objection to doing this. As for the others, believe me, even if Mr. Kiichi himself were to look at them, he wouldn't be able to tell which one he made himself." Tang Ze smiled and pointed at the bag on her waist from a distance, "But for me, for you, 'emotion' is something that can't be deceived, right?"

Tang Ze's words were not empty words.

Just as human attention and long-term cognition can give birth to X-alloy, giving special powers to the ingenious mechanical props in the hands of magicians, treasures like the Egg of Memory, which are the result of the efforts of their creators and are entrusted with too many emotions, are completely different in Tang Ze's current "third eye" vision.

This brings us to the interlude-like case of the woman who mysteriously lost her memory after committing suicide in a temple.

She herself may be insignificant, and the case may not have had much impact other than creating a few urban legends, but her situation provides an example.

Items like the Egg of Memory, like the memories that were stripped out of her along with blood and intense regret, can be considered another kind of "Desire Stone" watered by memories and emotions, but it is impossible for them to have the terrifying power of the highly concentrated version in Tang Ze's hands.

What he handed over to Natsumi Kosaka was naturally the body that he held in his arms and played Scobin, silently exchanging positions with the secret treasure from the Hanchuan Dragon Hall, and transplanting flowers and trees.

Although the replica faithfully followed the rules and was no different from the real Egg of Memory, in his eyes, it was unique.

Natsumi Kosaka listened blankly, nodded as if she understood but not quite, but still fully grasped what he wanted to convey.

The one he handed over to me was the real Egg of Memory. The one in the Suzuki Museum was a replica. The eldest daughter of the Suzuki family, who was also the owner of the museum, knew and acquiesced to this fact...

"Thank you." Natsumi Kosaka grabbed the strap of her bag and expressed gratitude.

Tang Ze shook his head slightly and raised an index finger.

"Shh, you should go thank Kaito Kidd."

"...Yes, you are right, it is not Mr. Kaito from Kidd."

Natsumi Kosaka left with excitement, and within two minutes, the second set of footsteps came over.

"Hey, hey, what's wrong with you? It seems like you have hidden a lot of secrets this time..."

There were only Tang Ze and the visitor at the corner of the corridor, so the other party no longer forced himself to imitate other people's voices, but just lowered his voice and spoke very quietly.

"I'm very grateful that you passed the things to Kosaka Natsumi on my behalf, but what are those of yours...?"

The person who came was naturally Kuroba Kaito, who had disguised himself as Shiratori Jinsaburo. What he asked about was the incident in which the police came to their house because of the Suzuki family's report to the police.

"That's not what you said when you took those things away." He lowered his voice and said in confusion, "Didn't you say at the time that the young lady already knew about your plan and supported it?"

Kuroba Kaito, who had taken away those treasures in the dark with his own hands, certainly knew that this statement could not be groundless.

The design of the mechanisms of the entire Suzuki Art Museum was reviewed personally by Kuroba Kaito. He gave Suzuki Sonoko a lot of advice in the identity of Kitagawa Yusuke. Apart from himself, there might be no other thief in the world who could get these things.

So, after confirming the location with Tang Ze and discovering that their display cabinets had all been modified a second time and converted into devices that use electricity, so that in the event of a power outage, the interlocks would be released and it would be easy to just open them, replace the original items, and leave. He even felt like he was being fooled.

Tang Ze flew in the night sky as his identity, facing the attackers and possible malicious intent on his behalf. His mission was just to have a good dinner as Kitagawa Yusuke and find time to exchange three things for Tang Ze...

Rather than an exchange or transaction, it is more like a deliberate care.

"...You look down on me a little too much, you bastard."

Tang Ze just glanced at him.

"I feel like you are being sentimental and thinking about something sad. Before you get too moved by yourself, let me make it clear that she does know about it. It was her idea to call the police at this time. After all, Scobin is among these people, and I'm worried that she will go all out and destroy this place after snatching the Egg of Memory. She is a madman who only knows how to plunder and has already regarded other people's things as her own. Our goal is to help Miss Kosaka Natsumi. If she loses the more precious family inheritance because of taking back her own treasure, it would be a bit inappropriate."

Tang Ze swore with his clear memory that he did not spread rumors about Scobin.

Without the deployment of Tokyo police, if Scobin gets desperate and burns down this place again, it would be a huge crime.

Kiichi Kosaka is a very good mechanical designer. The castle he built is an extremely important treasure from any perspective. If Karasawa were to evaluate it, the Egg of Memory is important, but the castle itself is more valuable than that.

Keeping it intact is not only to protect Natsumi Kosaka's property, but also out of his own needs...

"You sound very kind. I hope you really mean it." Kuroba Kaito tilted his head and commented, "You have too many twists and turns in your mind. Aren't you tired of living like this?"

He didn't believe what Tang Ze said. Of course, maybe he wanted to help Natsumi Kosaka, wanted to give him a hand and save him from injury, which were all real ideas, but Tang Ze must have other plans behind this.

Tang Ze may not be a planner with a head full of rigorous plans. His personality is more like a detached artist than an architect. From time to time, he will come up with wild ideas, completely disregarding whether they are realistic. However, Tang Ze always lays a lot of clues for his plans, and most of them will eventually go in a direction that is beneficial to him.

Cunning, but not in a disgusting way.

"How can I be tired?" Tang Ze laughed and answered sincerely, "Only in this way can I feel alive. I like this kind of life very much."

Living itself is a kind of hardship. If it is for pleasure, or for a peaceful, tranquil and unchanging environment, the most important thing he should do is to quickly move away from such a vortex when he notices it.

And now, whether it is the organization, the Phantom Thieves, or the endless stream of Beika Heroes... For him, who has long been unable to adapt to a peaceful life, an turbulent future is the only thing that makes sense.

"...Tangze, are you and Sonoko planning to move those things out?"

The third person who came to see him was Mao Lilan, who had been holding it in for a while and felt like she would go crazy if she didn't find someone to talk to.

Considering Shinichi's thoughts, she didn't even have the courage to greet Conan in advance. She secretly observed the police and Karasawa several times along the way, for fear that her abnormality would attract other people's attention and make the police turn their suspicious eyes to Karasawa or Sonoko.

Okay, it’s a bit selfish to think this way, but, after all, it’s Sonoko’s own thing.

There is no wrong version in the 6 book forum!

If she has any ideas or secret plans with Tang Ze, even if it is a bit against the rules, Mao Lilan hopes that her best friend can achieve her goals.

Tang Ze was even more worried. Don't forget that he was still in that troublesome probation period. He couldn't arouse other people's suspicion or let the police misunderstand him...

"'Transfer' or something like that... that's not the case." Tang Ze shrugged, hesitated for a moment, and told his thoughts truthfully, "It's just that the ones now in the museum are indeed replicas."

This matter has to do with the ability that Suzuki Sonoko provides after ranking up this time.

According to Tang Ze's understanding, Suzuki Sonoko's main advantages are her personality and money, so her coop might be able to give her things related to money.

There is nothing wrong with this of course. Without money, you can't do anything. Having a rich woman's buff is a disguised support for the thief's actions. I believe that even if she knew about it, she would not have any objection.

What was beyond Tang Ze's expectation was that the ability Suzuki Sonoko gave this time was actually——

"You said that you can make a replica that will never be discovered by any machine?" Xingchuan Hui was a little surprised when he heard Tang Ze say this, and his eyes widened, "Leader, although I have always known that you are outrageous, but this outrageous... that's still..."

"That's still a bit too Karasawa." After listening to their plan, Asai Narumi concluded.

Tang Ze rolled his eyes: "It's not something beyond imagination. There are many restrictions on its use..."

"Stop lying." Xingchuan Hui sneered at Tang Ze's ambiguous statement, "Are you taking us for fools? Yes, this ability is useless when used on collectibles, but if you want to copy other things..."

Tang Ze smiled and did not object to his guess this time.

Yes, the ability given by Suzuki Sonoko is called, "Money is not everything."

This ability sounds somewhat negative, but its actual effect is amazing.

As long as he is willing to pay an equal amount of money, Tang Ze can copy all the objects he can touch and understand the full picture.

In short, as long as he grabs something and starts reading the bar, and he really has that much cash or deposits on him, it will be copied exactly.

Tangze speculated that Suzuki Sonoko had such an idea at that time and would extend her abilities to this aspect. It was very likely that she was influenced by himself, feeling that her rich family background could not satisfy all her regrets, and came up with ideas like "It would be great if money could solve these problems."

Indeed, compared to the Egg of Memory and those treasures that Tang Ze couldn't help but pay attention to, this ability was simply useless.

If you have the same amount of currency, can't you just buy this thing directly? It's meaningless to spend so much money to buy a fake that can't be detected.

But when you put it on other things...

Sometimes, the evidence in a murder case is just some cheap everyday items or documents. Unless it has considerable commercial value, it will only be judged as paper with printed words.

Tang Ze is basically like having a fantasy 3D printer that can produce a perfect fake as long as you hold something and start reading the bar. Xingchuan Hui's description is very accurate.

"…If Tang Ze wasn't the Phantom Thief of Hearts, the world would really be doomed."

This was the sigh expressed again by Jinpei Matsuda, who was the first to feel the lethality of this ability.

Money can't buy everything, but it can manipulate anything you want to manipulate. If Tang Ze went in another direction, who knows what would become of him.

"Of course that's impossible." In response, Tang Ze just looked at the "replicas" in his hands and answered.

Of course, such a Karasawa would not gain the friendship of Suzuki Sonoko, nor would he give up the more convenient means of directly stealing or morally blackmailing others to achieve his goals out of consideration for his friend's position and ideas, and it is even more impossible for him to gain such power.

The power of friendship and bonds has made him who he is today, and this is probably the world's true gift to him.
