Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 44
"See you tomorrow, Enomoto-san."

Azusa Enomoto withdrew her worried gaze from looking at the attic, looked at Toru Amuro, and sighed.

"Are you arguing today? Tang Zejun won't even come down for dinner. I have to explain it to Tang Zejun later, Mr. Amuro." She is not a fool, so she can naturally see that the atmosphere between the two of them is tense during the day, but many It is inconvenient for others to intervene in the conflict, so I can only hope that the handsome colleague who has always been very reliable and eloquent will communicate well, "See you tomorrow, Mr. Amuro."

After Azusa Enomoto left, Toru Amuro slowly changed his uniform, stood under the stairs and looked at the closed door with a headache.

It is not an easy job to dispel Tang Ze's hostility and fear without revealing the organization's information or his own identity.

There was a knock on the door, and Tang Ze, who was paralyzed on the bed, straightened up, quickly settled his posture, adjusted his expression, and replied, "The door is not locked."

When Toru Amuro opened the door and entered, what he saw was the black muzzle of the gun.

Tang Zezhao, who looked calm and disheartened, huddled at the foot of the bed, holding a pitch-black pistol in his hand, aiming straight at the direction of the door.

"They're all liars, mom and dad are, and so are you." Tang Ze no longer had the intense emotion he had during the day, but his eyes were empty, "'What a guardian should do'...it's so funny."

Toru Amuro looked at Tang Ze's appearance, and his heart softened.

The guardians of this child have indeed been disqualified all along.

He could clearly see Tang Ze's hands holding the gun, and did not respond to Tang Ze's sarcasm, but took a step closer and said, "You haven't fired a gun, have you... put the gun down, or you will hurt yourself."

"Don't come here!" Tang Ze immediately clenched his teeth, raised his upper lip and bared his teeth, trying to make a ferocious expression, "Stay away from me."

His arms were tense, and the veins on the back of his hands protruded as he grasped them hard. Amuro saw the bandages on his wrists, and thought of the scene of helping him bandage his wounds in the attic two days ago, and felt even more helpless.

"Relax, Tang Ze, I didn't intend to hurt you." Toru Amuro raised his hands to show harmlessness, and took another step closer, ready to step forward and grab the gun from his hand, "Didn't tell you about your parents' death earlier , I'm sorry, but please believe that I have no malice towards you."

"I've said it all, stay away from me!" Tang Ze yelled, his finger firmly on the trigger, and Toru Amuro had to stop in order to avoid further provoking him.

Although it could be guessed from his posture that Tang Ze would not be able to hold the gun correctly, the safety of the gun in his hand was indeed on and could be fired at any time. Toru Amuro wanted to avoid such extreme situations as much as possible.

Can Tang Ze use a gun?of course.

But when it comes to acting, Tang Ze is serious. The acting skills that have not been effective during the day are already hungry and thirsty. Of course, he must play the role well without leaving any flaws.

"You and those people are all in the same group, right? Frame me, let me confess, and then arrange you to monitor me... Seeing that I ask you for help and complain to you, do you think I am ridiculous?" Tang Ze then really said He sneered, "What exactly do you want me to do, just tell me, don't do this again."

Toru Amuro watched him excited, and slowly weighed in his heart.

Tang Ze's emotions are obviously out of control now. If he accepts Tang Ze's guess from Bourbon's position at this time, and then directly asks "hand over the information" or "tell me what your parents are researching", it will probably be very easy. Quickly get the answers you want, and even get what your organization has been looking for.

But this will also completely destroy the trust relationship between Tang Ze and him, and it will become impossible to obtain information about Tang Ze's case, because in Tang Ze's eyes, Amuro Toru will also become a participant in the false accusation case one.

So he chose to continue according to the prepared plan.

"...I am indeed monitoring you, but I am not accomplices with those people." Amuro moved closer without any trace, "Your parents are just as involuntary as I am, and we are not qualified guardians. But we want to The feeling of protecting you is the same, your parents entrusted you to me. I'm sorry, I can't take you away, but I won't let them hurt you."

This is a lie.

Toru Amuro just guessed that Tang Ze knew that Tang Ze and his wife had a secret contact, but he didn't know who it was.

He will try to pretend to be this identity, and then package the morning conversation as part of the news delivery. This is the best solution to keep Bourbon's needs in action and make Tang Ze let go of his guard.

"I don't believe it." Tang Ze's tensed arms showed no signs of relaxing, "If this is the case, why didn't you make it clear earlier."

Tang Ze did know that there was a contact person communicating with his parents, and he didn't know who the other party was, otherwise what he said would not be "I don't believe it", but a negative such as "You are lying".

Toru Amuro, who thought he had made the right bet, let out a sigh of relief.

"As I said, we are also involuntary." Amuro sighed pretendingly, "I am not the only one who is watching. They don't trust me. Telling you directly will only put us in danger."

What he said was half true and half false, and considering that the head of the other monitoring team was rye whiskey, he didn't have the slightest guilty conscience in his action of throwing the blame, but he only wished that the blame couldn't be bigger.

Tang Ze stared at his face, as if waiting for something.

Amuro stared into his eyes, noticed a trace of hesitation and relaxation from his expression, and understood that the conversation had reached the most critical position.

Tang Ze has not had direct contact with the secret contact person, but there are regular exchanges between the two.

Based on this guess, after the conflict with Tang Ze was over during the day, Jiang Gu Ling quickly contacted the zero group and asked them to follow all of Tang Zezhao's contact methods, whether it was phone calls, emails, SNS or forums, anyone who had a stable relationship with Tang Ze Periodic conversations, or accounts that are periodically checked, must be checked.

In the end, the poor subordinates who were exhausted and exhausted helped him lock a suspicious account on an anonymous forum.

Just earlier today, the account once again posted a meaningless post on an anonymous forum, which sharply increased the suspicion of this person.

Toru Amuro must say something now, something that will convince Tang Ze that he is that person.

"'The weather is nice, I like spring, I hope everything is well, I'm so sorry.'" Toru Amuro recounted the content of the post they found, and then added a title with uncertainty, "akira."

This is the Roman pronunciation of Tang Zezhao's name "Zhao", and it is also the signature of every post on this account, which is why they further locked this person.

After saying this, Toru Amuro raised his vigilance to the highest level, waiting for Tang Ze's reaction.

If he fails to gain trust, the ready-to-fire gun in Tang Ze's hand will hit him hard head-on.

Tang Ze slowly lowered his muzzle.

One second before Toru Amuro was about to show a smile, Tang Ze suddenly raised the gun again and held it against his chin.

"Goodbye." Tang Ze smiled triumphantly and pulled the trigger.

Toru Amuro felt his heart constrict suddenly, and his blood froze for a moment following his movements.

"Don't!" Toru Amuro threw himself towards Tang Ze almost reflexively, trying to push away his hand holding the gun, and didn't have time to consider that the bullets fired at close range might also hurt him.

But as soon as he grabbed the gun in Tang Ze's hand, Toru Amuro froze.

Tang Ze, who was thrown back by Amuro Toru, knocked the back of his head on the wall, hissed in pain, and quickly let go of his hands to hug his head.

Amuro looked down at the gun he had snatched.

After a certain modification, the painting is perfect. If you don’t hold it in your hand and take a closer look, even Toru Amuro, who has been in contact with many firearms, didn’t notice it. But no matter how real it is, this is a toy that can only shoot BB bullets. gun.

"...Tang Zezhao!" After reading Tang Ze's name word by word, seeing Tang Ze's unscrupulous laugh, Amuro Toru felt that he was about to die of anger.

This damn kid obviously believed it, so he had to shoot himself to test his reaction!
"Hahaha, are you scared?" Tang Ze grinned childishly, "You were the one who scared me first, I was afraid all afternoon that a few people would suddenly come in and drag me away, or simply sink into Tokyo Bay ..."

"Slap!" Amuro slapped Tang Ze on the head angrily, causing him to hug his head again in pain, and stopped the words that needed to be spanked.

... Are there so-called "middlemen"?Of course it doesn't exist.

The source of Tang Ze's news is Akai Shuichi who directly A to the face.

The account that Amuro found out was Tang Zezhao's alias on the anonymous bulletin board. It was hosted on the server with a special timing program, and sent a letter he wrote to his parents at a fixed time every month, which could never be sent.

Tang Ze sat up straight again with a smile of a successful prank.

Now Toru Amuro has a new skin, he also has a new role relationship, and he can finally start to exchange some in-depth information.

No one loses, it's a win-win, right?
