Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 925 Classic Red Square Joke
"…The assistant of the Tangze couple?" Tangze rolled his eyes, looked at Mizunashi Rena's face covered with sweat, and tilted his head slightly, "When did it happen? I don't remember seeing you in the laboratory."

Having said that, Tang Ze leaned back a little and stopped putting pressure on her by staring at her.

If it was someone his parents had screened, maybe he wouldn't have to be so cautious...

"Because I was only their personal assistant for a short time." Hearing that his tone seemed to be loosening, Mizunashi Rena said quickly, "Or, in other words, 'caretaker'. I became a host after I had a code name and was determined to be active in the Tokyo area. I was not born in Tokyo, and I don't live here."

"Well, this can be seen from Hondou Eisuke's treatment records." Tang Ze nodded, "So, you came into contact with the Tang Ze couple for this reason, so the organization gave you those drugs to ensure that you would not leak secrets?"

"Go deeper than that." Mizunashi Rena's voice lowered involuntarily, "There was a stage where their experiment required a lot of people..."

Even in the extremely tense confrontation, Rena Mizunashi couldn't help but blink her eyes at this question, as if trying to wave something away from her eyes.

"Although the subjects will basically not know the true nature of the experiment, this is, after all, an illegal human experiment, and it involves contact with a lot of outsiders. They are not confident in letting the Tang Ze couple do this work..."

"You will do this job?" Tang Ze lowered his eyes and his voice became softer. "Ah, no wonder you recognized me."

Mizuno Rena lowered her head but did not deny what he said.

Screening test subjects, joining a completely unknown human experiment project, being controlled by the organization...

This is equivalent to pushing a healthy and innocent person into the abyss. It is an extremely cruel job for a moral person. For an undercover agent who takes on such a position, the pressure he feels is absolutely beyond imagination.

"The organization needed someone to take charge of this job. At that time, I had just tried to join the organization through an underground bank. Since I had some medical background in my resume, I was selected by the Tangze couple after two interviews."

"So, the reason you were able to join the organization was also because of the Tang Ze couple?" Tang Ze narrowed his eyes, "Hmm, that's interesting..."

Mizuno Rena didn't know all this information, but Tang Ze knew it very clearly.

Not only Mizunashi Rena, but also Akai Shuichi, was actually able to enter the organization through the hands of the Karasawa couple.

...If you look closely, it even has something to do with the work that Mizunashi Rena is in charge of, but she is the one in charge of the interview, and Akai Shuichi is the one who was interviewed, meaning he was the one being experimented on.

Rena Mizunashi didn't know what he was laughing at, but his voice temporarily awakened her from her memories. She raised her head, looked at him, and adjusted her breathing.

"Yes, I was chosen by them. Later, I asked him indirectly why. In the end, Mr. Karasawa Ichikawa told me that it was because he felt that my eyes looked very friendly. I performed this work for more than half a year. Later, because the Karasawa couple were transferred abroad, it was inconvenient for me to continue to follow them, so I stayed in Tokyo. I have never met you, but I have handled the information of almost all the experimenters. I do know your background... swallow..."

Tang Ze waved her hand, stopping her teammate from saying Kumail's "real name" before she jumped out of the shadows excitedly.

"To put it simply, they accurately selected you from a group of people, provided you with an opportunity to join the organization, and directly placed you in a very important position. As a result, you were examined by the organization very early..."

Mizuno Rena didn't deny it, she just turned her eyes away slightly.

Her expression looked a little complicated, as if some thoughts were surging violently in her heart. Tang Ze almost immediately deduced what happened next.

This is an opportunity, a good opportunity to skip the tedious steps and allow the undercover agent to directly join the organization deeply.

But it was precisely because of this overly rapid rise that Mizunashi Rena relaxed her vigilance, and without realizing the organization's close surveillance, she rashly contacted her father, and in the end, Ethan Hondou died four years ago in order to protect his daughter and comrade-in-arms...

"That explains everything." Tang Ze sighed and stood up from the chair again. "That explains how you became Gil so quickly, and how you realized that there was something wrong with Goro Akechi's identity so quickly."

Seeing him stand up again, Mizuno Rena withdrew her fingertips that were almost touching the drawer where the weapons were kept, and returned to a state of alert.

"The last question has been explained. Then..." Tang Ze inserted his fingers into his hair and shook it to make it fluffy again. "Since my parents have seen you for me, I believe you can be trusted. Ms. Hondou Eikai from the CIA, I advise you to cooperate with my work. You have been targeted by the FBI. If you don't hurry up and connect with the information, it will cause a big mistake."

As Rena Mizunashi trembled with shock, Tang Ze pulled off the mask on his face, revealing a face that looked extremely familiar to her.

A face that is 80% similar to Ikawa Karasawa, but younger, with rounder features, and looks youthful and childish.

Meeting that pair of upturned, slightly sharp blue cat's eyes, Mizunoshi Rena seemed to come to her senses and slowly opened her eyes wide.

"You do look very friendly, Miss Hondou." Tang Ze smiled at her gently, took off the black gloves on his hands, and stretched out his hand. "Let me introduce myself again. My name is Tang Ze Zhao, the son of Tang Ze Ikawa and Tang Ze Leona, and also your brother's current classmate. Nice to meet you."

"Mr. Akai..."

"I told you not to call me that here."

Closing the newspaper in his hand, Akai Shuichi gave a warning before turning around.

Although his team wouldn't have any major problems when carrying out actual missions, if possible, he really hoped to have a more capable agent to work with him...

The ex-girlfriend and the driver are not really an excellent configuration for attacking a tough situation.

"Sorry, I'm used to it..."

Pulling the baseball cap on his head, Shuichi Akai confirmed that no one else was entering or leaving the store before following the sound and walking into the warehouse area of ​​the store.

There, a full set of monitoring and positioning equipment was working hard. Most of the small space was occupied by these machines, making Kamal, who was sitting in the front, feel very cramped.

"What did you find?" He moved closer and looked closely at the screen in front of him with a flashing red dot.

This is not Rena Mizunashi's location, but the communication device carried by the FBI agent who is following her.

As a well-known host who can smoothly complete the organization's tasks while being a public figure, Rena Mizunashi is undoubtedly a cautious guy.

It was not easy to simply use monitoring equipment and some locators to easily figure out her route and behavior. They had to dispatch the already tight manpower to try to find out her situation. "Rena Mizunashi is fine at the moment. She just left Nichimi TV." Kamal took off his headphones and whispered, "It's Karasawa..."

"What's wrong with him?" Hearing the name unexpectedly, Akai Shuichi raised his eyebrows.

Ever since he learned about Tang Ze's true identity last time, Shuichi Akai, who knew what to prioritize, immediately withdrew all the personnel active in the vicinity, and also instructed Judy and others not to take the initiative to contact Tang Ze.

Before, he had no intention of monitoring them, he just wanted to keep an eye on Tang Ze's situation in order to protect his safety.

His cousin, who was full of desire for revenge, had big ideas in his mind, but at the same time, he was different from himself. Without any institutional background, he could only rely on his own abilities. He was also worried that this kid might have some emergency and he wouldn't be able to contact anyone temporarily, just in case.

But now, since we know that he is the Phantom Thief of Hearts, not only does he handle the organization's affairs with ease, he also has time to worry about Tokyo's public security, so Shuichi Akai no longer spends more energy on this aspect.

Get a group of FBI to follow him. If something goes wrong, it’s hard to say who will protect whom.

"He's fine, it's just..." Kamal organized his words, summarized the information he heard, and said concisely, "He also stayed at the Nichimi TV station for an hour and came out with Mizunashi Rena."

Akai Hideo nodded, with no sign of surprise on his face.

Rena Mizunashi is both a host of Nichimi TV and a member of the organization. It is not surprising that Karasawa's fake identity often frequently goes in and out of Nichimi TV, so he would come into contact with Rena Mizunashi, or even have more intersections with her in tasks.

"That's a good thing. I can ask him about his movements in that area later. What else?"

"Well... the surveillance personnel reported that Karasawa took Mizunashi Rena to their cafe first." Kamil said dryly.

"Hmm?" Akai Shuichi frowned.

"And then, uh, we're heading towards Shibuya."

Akai Shuichi frowned even more tightly: "He, could it be..."

Kamal chuckled twice, glanced at the clock on the wall, and then pointed in the direction outside.

Realizing something, Akai Shuichi's eyes twitched, he straightened his coat, and strode towards the front store.

Almost as soon as he walked out, the bell at the door used to welcome guests rang as the door of the shop opened.

Karasawa pulled down the clothes that belonged to Goro Akechi, and strode with Rena Mizunashi towards Shuichi Akai, who was still dressed as Iwai. As they walked, they stretched out their hands to signal each other.

"You two, let's get acquainted. This is FBI agent Shuichi Akai, whose former code name is Rye Whiskey. This is CIA agent Eikai Hondou, who lost contact with the CIA four years ago because his contact person died. His current code name is Kiel."

Akai Shuichi, who was caught off guard at the first encounter, raised his head and met Mizunashi Rena's equally confused and bewildered face.

"I know that although you can be considered colleagues in the strict sense, you are not in the same department, and there are still quite a lot of conflicts and disagreements among you." Tang Ze threw his coat aside and sat down on the counter as if he was back home. "But I think the main conflict is at the forefront. In order to avoid the mistake of arresting a member of the organization and finally finding out that it is another undercover, I think everyone should sit down and talk first. The issue of sharing the blame and credit can be discussed later. What do you think?"

Akai Shuichi:?
Mizuno Rena:?

"Cough, cough, cough—"

"Is it so funny..." Zhu Fujingguang patted the back of Hagiwara Kenji, who was choking and almost unable to straighten his back, and felt neither amused nor helpless.

"Isn't this funny enough?" Hagiwara Kenji wiped his eyes and looked back in shock, "Have you ever made an undercover joke funnier than this?"

"Yes, isn't it right here?" Before Zhu Fushi Jingguang could speak, Matsuda Jinpei raised his hand and pointed at him, "They are both from the Japanese Public Security Bureau, but they don't belong to the same department. They met when they were performing undercover missions."

Several people who were just sitting in the car chatting turned their heads and looked in his direction.

"It really is……"

"Oh yeah, I just realized this is also a big mistake..."

"For a moment, I didn't know whether I should sympathize with the undercover agent or that unfortunate organization..."

Zhu Fu Jingguang held his forehead helplessly and endured the ridicule from his teammates.

Regarding this issue, let alone the fact that it cannot be overcome before the organization is completely destroyed, I am afraid that even if the organization is really destroyed, it can still be laughed at for a few more years.

“But it’s really outrageous when you think about it.” Miyano Akemi propped up her chin. “The FBI locked onto Rena Mizunashi, the host of Nichimi TV, because of Vermouth’s act of pretending to be Tomoaki Aida, and concluded that she did have some relationship with the organization. So they planned to use her as a breakthrough point to find a way to disrupt the organization’s actions and learn about its internal intelligence…”

"...And this Mizunashi Rena is also an undercover agent, and even from the United States, but she's from the CIA." Shimabukuro Kimie took over her words, "Fortunately, Karasawa made a quick decision and revealed his cards in time. Otherwise, when someone was really caught after all the hard work, how embarrassing the scene would be."

"Well, I have heard of the story of the FBI and the CIA tripping each other up, but I didn't expect it to be in this form." The topic finally shifted away from himself, and Zhu Fujingguang quickly rejoined the conversation.

As long as I am not the one being laughed at, it is still very happy to travel with crickets.

"By the way, this is also the work of Mr. and Mrs. Tang Ze."

"I heard from Tang Ze that the FBI guy is the same. They have been causing trouble for the organization for the past few years..."

The atmosphere of discussion in the car was lively, and when Miyano Akemi heard this topic, she turned around and wanted to discuss this issue with the former experimental subject Hoshikawa Teru, only to find that he had kept his head down and said nothing.

"…What's wrong, Hoshikawa?"
