Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 637: Shocked, Tangze actually used the detectives as food substitutes
Walking into the safe passage of the gymnasium along the side, the two Kudo Shinichi looked at each other and laughed together.

"It's fun to be a detective once in a while, isn't it?" Tang Ze took off his hood, straightened his hair that was lying down, and looked at the people around him with a smile, "How does it feel to see the world from their perspective?"

"It's indeed interesting." Belmode tugged on the brim of his fisherman's hat, his mouth always raised high, and his joy was palpable. "Did you choose to be a detective for this reason?"

In her mind, Kumail was not someone who wasted a precious opportunity for such naive reasons.

Akechi Goro, who worked as cannon fodder in the organization until he was eighteen years old, was his only chance to stand in the sun with his own face.

Although this identity was destined to be a footnote to lies, it was something he had fought tooth and nail to seize. Before formally contacting Kumail, she had always been deeply confused about his identity as a detective.

The atmosphere had reached this point today, so she asked casually, wanting to hear what this thoughtful child was planning.

"...Of course not." It was hard to say that he was joking. Tangze adjusted his expression and started talking smoothly, "A guy who deals with violent crimes all day long, even if he enters a normal society, What path can I choose?"

"Why, do you think your experience in organizational life is beneficial to your current career?" Belmod couldn't help but laugh when he heard his natural statement.

His resume as a career criminal turned out to be helpful as a detective. If the cool guy heard this, he would probably be very angry.

Perhaps if the life experiences of these two children were swapped, they would become what each other is now.

Standing there, it was as if Kudo Shinichi had stepped into the darkness and could no longer turn back.

Belmode stared at his smile at this moment, and thinking of the way he laughed and slapped Kudo Shinichi on the shoulder just now, it was almost impossible to tell which side of his expression was his sincerity.

Is it true that Kumail, who was standing next to Kudo Shinichi just now, has no admiration for the detective himself, as he says now?
Some fragmentary memories emerged in his mind. Belmode showed no expression on his face. He just took out a metal box from his pocket and handed it to Kumail.

Although they are both detectives, they are similar in age, and they are even in the same class now, Kumel and Kudo Shinichi are two completely different people that she has never had the slightest connection with.

But now, looking at the slightly strange smile on Kumail's face, she began to think strangely.

"You think so too, right?" Tang Ze bent his eyes and smiled heartily at her.

Kumail is the complete opposite.

"Whenever I stand in a scene like that and look at the person lying on the ground, Belmod, do you know what I'm thinking?"

Belmod looked at the face on his face that belonged to Kudo Shinichi and fell into a brief daze.

"Poisoning, strangulation, falling to death, extremely clumsy design. Belmod, I'm thinking," After spending some time, his pupils finally dilated a lot due to the dim environment. Tang Ze finally raised his head, revealing a dark face, as if The eyes that swallowed up all the light, but on the contrary, there was a happy smile on the corner of the mouth, "All the traces of crime are as obvious as marked tips in my eyes, but they can't see it at all. Why is it only me and Can detectives do this? Are all detectives born criminals?"

Belmode did not speak, but turned his head and stared at Kumel with Kudo's new face.

In the rainy weather, even during the day, the dusty windows could not cast much light into this dark staircase that few people set foot on.

"Of course. Even if the vast majority of murders are carefully planned, the perpetrators are still naive. Their murderous intentions are fueled by various negative emotions, hatred for the deceased, guilt for the past... out of hatred, out of Fearful, angry yet trembling..."

His birth was not blessed, and his childhood was wandering. After being found by his father, although he could find food and clothing, he fell into the larger quagmire of the organization.

Kudo Shinichi has a heart of justice and light, a light that will not be extinguished by darkness. He chose the profession of detective not only because his genius mind gave him the instinctive curiosity to pursue problems, but also because of his nature.

Spreading his five fingers, Tang Ze lowered his head and stared at the lines on his palms, as if he really fell into some kind of memory following these words.

"It seems that, detective, your profession is really suitable for you." After a moment of silence and gathering all the complicated thoughts in his heart, Belmode simply responded so briefly.

This is a guy that has been growing in the dark from beginning to end. Like anaerobic bacteria, it should be afraid of the sun and hate the existence of the sun.

However, these two people became friends through many false identities.

"Here, what you asked for. Happy cooperation, accomplice. Although I don't know what you are going to do with these investigations, I wish you all the best."

Taking her things, Tang Ze felt the light weight of the box that fell into his hands. He didn't show it on his face, but he clenched his fists in his heart.

Well, I finally succeeded in bypassing Toru Amuro himself and obtained the work record of Morofushi Kagemitsu as Scotch Whiskey in the organization!
This was the real reason why Tangze took the initiative to reveal the problem of the temporary antidote to Bermod. That was the news he told Bermod as a deal.

However, although Belmode believed 70% to 80% of the information at the time, he still used the excuse that the information had not been collected yet.

Karasawa guessed that the truth might be that she wanted to wait until the day of the school festival to confirm with her own eyes that Kudo Shinichi had really appeared and was safe and sound before she could completely trust Kumail's news and hand over the conditions he proposed to him.

The Riddler is very suspicious, Tangze understands.

"Thank you. It's really hard to bypass Bourbon's source to investigate something." Putting the things in his pocket, Karasawa pointed to the safety exit door.

As a new doctor, Belmod and himself as Karasawa have been absent for too long, and they will become suspicious if they don't show up again.

Belmode, who probably guessed why Kumail was investigating, glanced at the USB flash drive that was rolled into his palm and smiled lightly.

As an undercover agent, Scotch was once one of the most outstanding members of the younger generation.

As a newcomer who joined the organization not too far apart, Scotland is one of several snipers trained by the organization and has a record of cooperation with many members.

From his work records, we may be able to discover the weaknesses or mistakes of many members. In addition, Kumail can now easily contact the police and even obtain the identities of some files for the purpose of investigating crimes...

"It seems that some people are going to be in trouble." Belmod turned around and quickly started to change his disguise, smiling and tearing off the mask on his face.

As long as she is not responsible for this trouble, of course she is happy to see it come to an end. ————

"Hey, are you injured? Where are you?!" After hearing the school doctor's words, Mao Lilan and others quickly grabbed Tang Ze and checked him from side to side.

"It's just a small scratch. Because the road out from the backstage was too dark, I accidentally got scratched a little..." Showing his bandaged forearm, Tangze waved his hand, "Doctor Shinde has already taken care of it for me. Okay, it’s okay.”

"You still have to be careful and pay attention to your safety." Bellmode, who had switched to Shinde Tomaki, patted Karasawa's shoulders twice and explained their absence, "I will take Karasawa-kun to the infirmary and come back. By the time I arrived, the place was already jammed with traffic, and there were police cars coming and going, so I knew it would be difficult to squeeze into the venue, so I just waited. I heard there was a murder?"

"Yes, doctor, maybe you still know the deceased." After tugging on the bandage on Karasawa's arm and confirming that it was indeed just a slight skin injury, Suzuki Sonoko breathed a sigh of relief when the topic changed and the conversation returned. "The murderer just now said that today's deceased was originally a psychiatrist who was going to join our school. Have you seen him?"

"Hey, is it Dr. Kamata?" Bermod, whose acting skills were very natural, was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face, "How could such a thing happen?"

"I heard from the senior who poisoned me that although he is a well-known psychiatrist, he has poor medical ethics. He is a guy who randomly tests unapproved treatment methods on patients and kills people for his own academic achievements. "Suzuki Sonoko crossed her arms and said with emotion, "Although choosing to kill someone is indeed too extreme, considering what this person did, I'm not particularly surprised."

Due to the establishment of related funds, Suzuki Sonoko has seen many people who are in various difficulties and have no way to seek help these days.

In her eyes, Koshang Mai, who chose the extreme route to protect Teidan High School, is undoubtedly one of them.

A little extreme, but certainly not surprising.

"Don't sympathize with the murderer too much just because the murderer's reason for killing him sounds reasonable, Sonoko."

Suzuki Sonoko turned her head and saw Kudo Shinichi leading Okita and Hattori approaching quickly.

"No matter how I explain it, I still can't understand the reasons why the murderers killed people. No, in fact, it is understandable from a logical and emotional point of view. I just can't agree with it." He was still wearing a costume belonging to the black knight. , Kudo Shinichi walked to a few people and looked at Karasawa who was standing aside.

"...I've been looking for you for a long time, Karasawa-kun. Although you are my client, this is our first official meeting. It's a pleasure to meet you." With a subtle mood, Kudo Shinichi stretched out his hand towards Karasawa. .

Speaking of going to the infirmary, this guy might have deliberately waited until Kuroba Kaito left before rushing here.

A troublesome bad friend, but you can't deny that the other person's jokes are out of good intentions.

Kudo Shinichi, who officially stood in front of his friends with his own identity for the first time, felt very complicated.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Tang Zezhao. I don't need to introduce myself." After shaking hands with him politely, Tang Ze glanced at Mao Lilan, who was raising his eyebrows in silence, with a smile, and looked away, turning to follow him. The person behind them said, "...Okita-kun, long time no see."

After completely retrieving his past memories, Karasawa spent some time sorting out his living situation in Kyoto, and not surprisingly, he found a very familiar face in his memory.

As Karasawa told Conan before, in the past eighteen years, he has basically deliberately kept a distance from the people living around him.

He does not join any clubs or maintain relationships with any classmates. Due to the absence of his parents, he never participates in activities such as parent visits or parent-teacher meetings at school...

He maintained the minimum social interaction a normal person could have and entered high school like a transparent person.

Life in Quanxin High School is similar. Home and school are two points and one line. I carefully maintain a decent state, so as not to be so lonely that I can't communicate with others at all, but I always keep a distance from everyone.

Even so, Okita Souji, as a popular figure in the school, with a naturally cheerful personality, handsome appearance, and a good person, is still a person that even he will have a deep impression on.

Not to mention, they are actually classmates in the same class.

If anything, the relationship between Karasawa and Okita Souji is pretty good - after all, he is not familiar with anyone, and if they can maintain an acquaintance, he can be regarded as the closer group in his interpersonal circle.

The reason why I will get to know Okita Souji better...

"Karasawa-san!" Compared to Kudou Shinichi and Karasawa, who had subtle expressions on their faces, Okita Souji was obviously much more excited.

He rushed over and grabbed Tangze's hand: "You transferred to another school quietly and left. If Hattori hadn't found me and asked about you, I wouldn't have known that you actually..."

"Okita, keep your voice down." Hattori Heiji, who caught up, pulled the hem of Souji Okita's clothes and reminded him, "We'd better find a place to talk about this matter."

"Okay." He took a deep breath and carefully looked at Tangze's condition for a while. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with him, Souji Okita let go of his hand, "It seems that you are doing well in Didan. .That's good."

Having said this, Okita Souji paused, turned his head and looked carefully at Kudou Shinichi's face, which was more than 90% similar to his, and scratched the back of his head.

"No wonder you suddenly chose to hand over such a crucial case to a detective of the same age." Touching his chin, Souji Okita suddenly said, "You chose two detectives who look very similar to me. I can't tell. Ah, Karasawa-san, do you still trust me?"

Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji, who were frozen in sync, said: "..."

Karasawa couldn't help but pursed his lips: "...You worry too much about Okita."

...The reason why I am a little familiar with Okita Souji is precisely because of his overly enthusiastic and confident character.

In Okita Souji's eyes, anyone who doesn't look down on him in person can be called a good friend.

Anyway, he considers himself a cheerful boy with many friends all over the world.

So Karasawa quickly became familiar with the detectives. Is this the reason? !
The shocked Suzuki Sonoko looked back and forth on the faces of the three people, and couldn't help but murmur to herself.

"I've only heard that when looking for a partner, you can't help but look for someone similar to your ex. Could it be that the same is true when making friends?"

Tang Ze felt like he was being described like a scumbag looking for a substitute all over the world: "..."
