Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 791 Tang Ze: I feel so pitiful after seeing this

"He's not too smart, but he's really smart. If he uses his energy in the right direction, he might be a talented person. Unfortunately, people who have witnessed the extraordinary side of cognitive psychology may find it difficult to have the proper respect for ordinary psychology."

He is a novice, loves to play, and wants to take shortcuts. This is the evaluation that Tang Ze gave to Kiharakawa after integrating information from all parties.

Little do people know that sometimes the seemingly long and boring right path is the real shortcut, and the so-called shortcut will only lead people into a complete detour.

"Anyway, the keywords that can be determined at the moment are 'mirror image' and 'jealousy'. Let's try to find out if there are any details about his palace. I think there may be many surprises in his palace..."

"Tangze, Tangze——"

"I'm here." Tang Ze responded and said quickly to the people behind the glass door, "Okay, I have something else to do here, you guys continue investigating."

Seeing him getting up and preparing to leave, Zhu Fujingguang, who was sitting behind the other side door with a hood on, stood up and couldn't help but call him again: "Um, Tang Ze..."

Knowing that the other party was hesitant about what to say, Tang Ze took the initiative to speak: "Don't worry, Senior Jingguang, I will protect your brother and hold Ireland back so that the organization won't notice him."

It is normal for Zhu Fu Jingguang to have such concerns.

Although Ireland may not be familiar with the former Scotch whisky due to the different scope of their main activities and the members they follow, Zhufu Jingguang and Zhufu Takaaki do have many similarities in appearance.

The Scottish Whiskey Organization, which had been identified as an undercover and then eliminated, would definitely not continue to protect his information. Otherwise, Tang Ze would not have been able to get the full set of information so easily through Vermouth. It is possible that Ireland would have suddenly discovered Zhu Fu Jingguang's true identity.

Although from the few contacts so far, it seems that Ireland has a strong sense of resentment that can no longer be suppressed, but after all, he is the one who was able to expose Edogawa Conan's identity just because he had doubts about Mouri Kogoro's ability. It is better not to underestimate his investigative ability.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Zhu Fu Jingguang breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Ze made an OK gesture to him, turned around, went to the other side of the corridor, and walked towards Mao Lilan who was holding Conan's hand.

She nervously looked in the direction he was coming from, and then confirmed that Tang Ze didn't look abnormal. Mao Lilan finally felt relieved and patted her chest: "Why did you suddenly come here without saying a word? There are quite a lot of police officers from other places in the Metropolitan Police Department now. You should be careful..."

More words rolled around on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them all when she saw the strange police officers walking by and talking and laughing.

Because he has been involved in many cases and has a sensitive identity, Tang Ze has been in and out of the Metropolitan Police Department quite often and has a good relationship with the police officers in the First Investigation Division.

Sometimes he comes to take statements about a case, and sometimes he comes to see the police officer in charge of the investigation. He comes once or twice a week, so it is unlikely that he will get into any problems in the Metropolitan Police Department.

However, now, because Kogoro Mouri has been commissioned to assist in the investigation of a homicide case involving many people in many places, the Investigation Section, in addition to the local police in Tokyo, also includes many detectives from various places on business trips. With the precedent of Toru Adachi, Ran Mouri can't help but worry that Karasawa will meet some inappropriate person again, and his illness will be triggered again.

After Kiharagawa's "treatment", Karasawa seemed to have recovered a lot on the surface. For Maori Ran, who had no idea what kind of turbulent confrontation had taken place behind the scenes, this was the first time that Karasawa had received effective psychological treatment since coming to Tokyo. She didn't want Karasawa's mental state, which had been consolidated with great difficulty, to collapse again because of an encounter with a bastard policeman.

What's more, she just discovered...

Turning her head to glance at Kogoro Mori who was still greeting the officers from the Metropolitan Police Department, she pursed her lips, her worry evident in her words.

"Don't worry, Lan, I'm not that fragile." Tang Ze shook his head and glanced over her shoulder at the policemen gathered together. He knew what she was worried about.

It's nothing more than discovering that Adachi Toru is also a consultant for this investigation team, and they are worried that his mental illness is about to break out again.

"I know that the other consultant of this investigation team is Mr. Adachi. To be precise, he was transferred from Kyoto specifically for this case." Tang Ze smiled at her soothingly, "He told me on the way to Tokyo."

"Then, do you want to go back early?" Mao Lilan's worries not only did not subside, but she became more uneasy. "What if he comes over later and says something inappropriate..."

This time, she and Conan came with Kogoro Mouri, accompanying him to attend the meeting of the joint investigation team. Karasawa said that he was supposed to report to the Metropolitan Police Department and ask the review officer to cancel his previous application to go to Izu, so he was brought here on the way.

Although theoretically it wouldn't be a big problem for him to just follow along and watch the investigation, it would be a different matter if he ran into Adachi Toru because of this.

"It's okay, don't worry. Mr. Adachi won't do anything to me. He doesn't want to lose the opportunity he has worked so hard to get just to tease a high school student." Tang Ze shook his head and gave more accurate information, "He acted like that in Izu because he takes this job very seriously."

Not to mention, Ireland, now wearing this leather, would not dare to provoke him at all.

Of course Adachi Toru will join the investigation team. Tang Ze is very clear about this because this identity was created for this case and he himself is one of the instigators.

Seeing Tang Ze's persistence, and seeing that his condition seemed to have indeed returned to his previous level, Mao Lilan reluctantly nodded: "Okay, then you should be careful, don't get caught by him alone."

As she spoke, she put it into action. She and Conan sandwiched Tang Ze on the left and right, as if they were ready to stay together to prevent him from falling into the hands of Adachi Toru again.

Karasawa, who was cared for and loved by his friends, could only accept the kindness. The three of them caught up with Kogoro Mouri who was about to go upstairs, followed him to the large conference room, and were settled in the rest area outside the door.

What follows is the internal police case matters, and the three family members of the suspects are certainly not qualified to participate.

"A lot of police officers from different cities and counties have come..." Sitting at the door, Mao Lilan saw several familiar faces at a glance and sighed while recalling their identities.

"Why is it that even Officer Yamamura is here?" Conan, who was also familiar with this group of people, saw Yamamura Cao, who had clear eyes and the temperament of a silly college student, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch for a while.

He has been playing a double act with Kogoro Mouri for such a long time. Although he is the one who mainly solves the cases and the police provide more assistance in trace examination, autopsy and other evidence investigation, but as a detective who has been dealing with the police for so long, Conan still has a standard in his mind about the professional ability of each of them.

Yamamura Cao was the most inexperienced and playful one among them. The few times we met him, he didn't leave a very good impression. "I collected some information about this case, and it's similar to the last time we met him." Tang Ze replied in a low voice, "A dead body was found at the border of Gunma Prefecture and Nagano Prefecture, which happens to be the work area of ​​Officer Yamamura."

The last time they went to Karuizawa, the colleague of Kisaki Eri who was nearly killed was called in by Yamamura Sou for this reason.

This has nothing to do with ability, it's mainly a matter of luck.

Conan couldn't help but pay more attention to him for a while. He pushed the zoom button on his glasses and saw Yamamura Cao's name tag at a glance. He was surprised: "Ah? I remember that his ability to solve cases was so good that even my uncle... anyway, he didn't seem to be a very good policeman. How did he get promoted?"

Inspector, how old is Yamamura Sou? Considering his qualifications and achievements, it is impossible for him to be promoted to the same level as busy detectives like Megure Juzo so quickly.

"Well, because the Yamamura police officers are actually from the professional group." Tang Ze, who knew the inside story, also sighed.

So I said it has nothing to do with ability, it’s really a matter of luck.

"Huh?!" Now not only Conan, but even Mouri Ran had an expression as if her eyes were about to pop out of the frame.

In Japan, professional police and semi-professional police are two different concepts.

By analogy, the latter are local civil servants, while the former are national civil servants, affiliated with central agencies. Upon graduation, their default police rank is much higher than that of the semi-professional group, so it is natural that they will be promoted in a short time.

In other words, although he is essentially a confused policeman with a muddled mind, as long as Yamamura Sou does not make any principled mistakes, his police rank promotion speed will only be a few years slower than that of a first-line king like Furuya Rei, but it will definitely be much faster than all the detectives in the First Investigation Division.

"So now look at it, it's not surprising that Mr. Adachi can get this kind of consulting position, right?" Tang Ze patted the shoulders of the two and complained.

Is the background setting of Adachi Toru outrageous? Of course it is outrageous.

But is it possible? Quite possibly.

After all, from the setting level, after several years of frustration, this identity relied on the unlucky guy Tang Ze to get close to an organization with a strong background and became one of its members. Then, with the help of his connections, he successfully returned to Tokyo and got a related consultant position without a regular position. It is not surprising.

Even if he is indeed a serial killer in the setting, hasn't he still not been caught?

Conan's face wrinkled up and he wanted to complain about something, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Adachi Toru approaching him casually and lazily with a cup of coffee, so he had to swallow his unpleasant words.

He just saw Officer Yokomizo, and both brothers were there.

Of course, the members of the Investigation Section 1 who were in charge of the main investigation were included, and then there were people like Yamamura So who was just here to gain experience, and former detectives like Maori Kogoro who was a pseudonymous detective, and Adachi Toru...

How outrageous! This investigation team...

Holding a newspaper and a cup of Starbucks, Ireland, with a sleepy look on his face, ignored the vague gazes of the police officers from the Search Section around him and walked to the door of the meeting room.

He immediately saw Tang Ze sitting on a bench in the rest area and talking to the beautiful girl next to him.

The two people's eyes met, and Ireland met Tang Ze's light blue eyes. He frowned instinctively, his face full of displeasure, as if he had seen something dirty.

The people who had been keeping an eye on him and Tang Ze saw this and were about to take action, but Ireland turned his head away with an indifferent expression under everyone's vigilant gaze.

He ignored the three people sitting there as if he saw nothing, and walked towards Megure Juzo and Mori Kogoro who were talking, as if he was ready to join in the conversation.

"He really didn't come to cause trouble for you..." After being nervous for a moment, Mao Lilan finally felt relieved and relaxed, ready to jump out at any time to block Tang Ze's actions.

"I said, he won't ruin this hard-earned opportunity just to have a conflict with me." Tang Ze shrugged, not looking nervous at all.

It was not very clear why Ireland Tangze was called in for this case in the original plot, but at least he knew the situation very well now.

Simply put, Ireland is a microcosm of the entire organization, exuding a strong atmosphere of eyebrows and injustice.

Ireland came to Tokyo to investigate the high casualty rate of the organization's spy agency in the police force. Before he could find out anything, Kenzo Masuyama, whom he regarded as his father, was executed by Gin because of the eyebrow pencil.

While he was busy continuing to investigate the situation, he also had to remotely investigate Bourbon and the newly emerged Kumail. He was already very busy. At this time, the member of the organization who was responsible for contacting the informant and had the informant's information was involved in a murder case and was killed.

Just let him be killed, he wasn't a code name member, so the death of a few ordinary members of the organization wouldn't be a big problem. But when he went to deal with the aftermath, he found that the murderer who liked to take something from the victim as a trophy had chosen the memory card, and it just so happened that it was the one that contained the organization's undercover list on the police side.

At this point, the poor Ireland had to seek help from Vermouth, hoping to find a way to sneak into the investigation team with her help of disguise, and get the deadly thing before the police caught the murderer.

As a result, he was first manipulated by his plastic colleague Vermouth to run a lot of errands for her, and then she threw it to Kumail as a favor. He accepted Karasawa's suggestion without hesitation and handed over the identities he and Amuro Toru carefully created to Ireland.

He must be feeling very complicated when looking at Kumail. On the one hand, he and Kumail do have some hatred in theory, and his current identity and Kumail's current identity also have some hatred. On the other hand, his difficult task is related to Kumail, so he can only hold his nose and bear it.

Come to think of it, Ireland was doing its mission well, but as time went on, it became more and more difficult, the losses grew greater, and the number of enemies increased. It was heartbreaking and made anyone who heard about it cry.

Even Tang Ze couldn't help but almost laugh out loud. Oh no, I felt sorry for him.
