The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

Although he was beaten to pieces and basically unconscious, Michikyo Masahiko was at least handed over to the police intact and was still breathing.

The group's journey back to Tokyo was not delayed.

However, there were some changes in personnel allocation.

"I have no objection to Sonoko and Kyogoku being in the same car. I also think it's good for them to interact more." Holding her luggage bag tightly, Mao Lilan leaned close to Karasawa's ear and whispered, "But, if we let Mr. Adachi take us back..."

Her attention has been drawn to the sudden case these days, but she still hasn't forgotten the embarrassing identities of Karasawa and Adachi Toru.

Even though she came into contact with the other party because of the case, she did not change her previous thoughts about him.

No matter what he feels inside, before he lost his job, this guy was definitely not the kind of policeman who pursues justice, performs his duties and protects the people.

not to mention……

Ran Mao Li turned her gaze to the other side of Tang Ze.

Conan, with a stern face, crossed his arms and stared at Adachi Toru, who was putting their luggage into the trunk, looking very angry.

What's more, Conan's limelight and credit were stolen, Sonoko was almost in danger, and the information about the criminal that they worked so hard to identify was easily snatched away by Adachi Toru.

I guess Shinichi is about to explode...

Conan is really about to explode with anger now.

The last time he was this angry was during the Nagato family incident. He and Hattori tried hard to compete, but in the end it was Goro Akechi who stood in the spotlight and accepted the praise and accolades.

Again, whether he is Kudo Shinichi or Edogawa Conan, he never seeks credit for himself, and his occasional rash actions due to emotionality are basically for the pursuit of the truth and to fight against the organization, rather than for the sake of attention.

But not pursuing fame does not mean that you can accept the fruits of your labor being taken away by others without saying a word!

Why do these guys with unclear organization all look like this?

"Let's go, everyone. It's time to leave." After putting away the luggage, Matsuda Jinpei turned around and saw two children hiding behind Tang Ze, one on the left and one on the right. He couldn't help but laugh, "Huh? Why are you like this? It's rare for me to be a kind person. It's not a short journey to drive you back to Tokyo."

Jinpei Matsuda knew in his heart the reason for their behavior.

To put it bluntly, from the moment he showed up, the character he played was one that even he himself wanted to punch himself twice.

Adachi Toru's gorgeous appearance this time basically attracted all the hatred he could, and he even almost provoked a superhuman high school student that even Zero couldn't beat. His record was amazing.

However, as soon as he thought about arriving in Tokyo and reporting to the Metropolitan Police Department as required, he could temporarily hand over this identity to Zero and wait for the people from that organization to take over, and Matsuda Jinpei's back straightened up.

Hateful? Disgusting? That's right, I'll beat him to death next time I see him!

With the mood of "If I can't live, you can't live either", he was in a very relaxed state. He naturally hooked his hands around Tang Ze's shoulders, pulled him to the front and stuffed him into the passenger seat.

Hurry up and go to Tokyo, he doesn't want to sing this play for a day.

"Kangze...!" Seeing Tangze being dragged away by Adachi Toru without any resistance, Mouri Ran was a little anxious and instinctively looked at Conan.

What should I do? It seems that Tang Ze is completely controlled by this person.

"Get in the car first." Conan took a deep breath and pointed at the car in front of him. "If we don't keep an eye on it, Tang Ze will really be bullied."

There is more information, but Conan did not say it directly out of consideration for Tang Ze's thoughts.

Last night, he overheard the conversation between Karasawa and Adachi Toru. Adachi Toru discovered Kyogoku Makoto's identity and bluntly asked Karasawa to use his power to assist Adachi Toru in fixing the evidence of Mikyou Masahiko's crime and complete the investigation of the case.

Now, the people were sent to the police station. Although Tang Ze had no intention of actively helping them and just didn't tell them that Adachi Toru was following them, by accident, things did happen as Adachi Toru had imagined.

Mikyou Masahiko was forced into a desperate situation because of his and Karasawa's reasoning, and when he was on the verge of being exposed, he completely broke off relations and attempted to take Sonoko into the forest and hold her hostage or harm her. In the end, he was defeated by Kyogoku Makoto's absolute force confrontation.

Therefore, Adachi Toru should be very satisfied with Karasawa's "help" at this time, and will show some gentle mask.

Tang Ze is still useful to him.

"You're right!" Mao Lilan, whose sense of mission was aroused, nodded immediately.

So, all the way back to Tokyo from Izu, Mouri Ran and Conan kept leaning on the back of the front seat, staring at Matsuda Jinpei with a fierce look.

Jinpei Matsuda glanced at Tang Ze, who seemed to be leaning against the car window, holding up his face to express cold resistance. He clearly caught the smile that he was trying to suppress with his palms, and his teeth itched.

Really, this guy is so blatant in gloating!

Just like that, even with the condemning, accusing and wary gazes of the two children, Matsuda Jinpei still couldn't help himself. He drove the whole time, talking nonsense about Tang Ze, and threw out all the background settings that this guy had forced him to memorize.

"I will contact your examiner after I arrive in Tokyo. You have performed well. Perhaps you can really behave yourself and pass the protective observation period this time."

"You know very well that you are in a difficult situation now. Once you are involved in a case and are considered guilty, you will lose this last chance. Being expelled from school should be something you cannot accept."

"Oh, I almost forgot, you are his classmate, little girl. Don't look like that, what I said is the truth."

"Hey, don't you know? This guy seemed to have had some kind of illness in his childhood. I specifically warned him when I took him into custody."

"Just let him tell you himself, and don't complain to me later about 'disclosing the privacy of minors' or something like that..."

Ran Mouri, who was holding on to the back of the front seat, was stunned for a moment and turned to Conan with an inquiring look.

So, what Adachi Toru threatened Tang Ze with was something related to school? He threatened that if he didn't cooperate, he would create some trouble and get him expelled from school for committing a crime or something?

Is studying in school such a big deal for Tang Ze?

Conan, who was also thinking about these words, frowned.

It was not only because of the disparagement of Karasawa in Adachi Toru's words, but also because of the information revealed by the other party that he did not quite understand.

Tang Ze's mental state must be filled with landmines as the organization has tampered with it.

But from what this guy said, it seems that Tang Ze had some flaws in his behavior before this...

Trying hard to recall what had happened since Tang Ze came to Tokyo, and thinking of Adachi Toru's repeated emphasis on dropping out of school, his eyes widened, and he suddenly felt that he had grasped some key points.

Former autistic patients...

Tang Ze goes to school regardless of the weather and never asks for leave easily no matter what happens...

Forced to transfer to another school, he came to Teitan for protective observation...

In the past, Tang Ze always lived a life of going back and forth between home and school...

Tang Ze saw Conan's expression change out of the corner of his eye, and felt that he seemed to have realized something. He stopped the explanation he was about to open, and he and Matsuda Jinpei looked at each other with contempt, then shook his head, crossed his arms, and fell into complete silence.

It's just to rationalize why he accepted Adachi Toru's threat. It would be meaningless to say more.

Moreover, he really couldn't stack buffs on himself anymore. If he did, he was really afraid that the red-black confrontation would be turned into Guardian Athena by himself.

However, for Black, he might really be the base crystal of cognitive science...

----

"You mean, in addition to the problems caused by hyperthymesia, Tang Ze also has mild sequelae of autism?!"

When Hattori Heiji said this into the phone, he almost shouted it out.

What's going on? It was supposed to be a relaxing and enjoyable seaside trip, but now there's a black-hearted former policeman, then there's a serial murder case, and now the sequelae are coming out...

Are you going on a trip or to practice asceticism?

"Tang Ze didn't say that. According to what Fudo Kyosuke said before, Tang Ze should not have any sequelae in the medical sense." Conan, who was lying on the window, looked at Tang Ze who was led back by Amuro Toru downstairs and was walking towards the cafe. Even though he knew that the other party couldn't hear him, he still lowered his voice. "I think it's probably some behavioral influence that is not to the extent of sequelae."

"What exactly is...?" Hattori Heiji, who had never obtained such information after investigating for so long, also became serious.

"You know, Karasawa has been transferred to Teitan High School for so long, and he almost never asks for leave, even if he has a very legitimate reason. You went to Kyoto to investigate his past life, and you should have heard that Karasawa only goes to school except for home, and he has almost no entertainment activities..." Conan summarized it like this, almost unable to hide the gloomy expression, "Just like many autistic patients with mild symptoms."

The cognitive impairment caused by autism, a developmental disorder, makes it difficult for patients to integrate into normal society. One of the manifestations of their abnormality from ordinary people includes stereotyped behavior.

In other words, they can only accept behavioral patterns that conform to certain rules and their own cognition, and once they are interrupted, it will cause intense emotional conflicts and even emotional breakdown.

"So, this is actually some kind of stereotyped behavior?" Hattori Heiji responded just as quickly, "For him, 'going to school' is some kind of stereotyped rule that must be repeated?"

"Yes. Sometimes it can be like obsessive-compulsive disorder." Conan exhaled, feeling an indescribable suffocation.

This is not a stereotyped behavior that affects daily life, and Tangze does not live completely according to this path. At least after coming to Tokyo, he actively made some changes in the unfamiliar environment. It can be seen that his parents' cure of him is not empty talk, and he is no different from a normal child.

Even if such stereotyped behaviors remain, it is not a big problem. As long as he lives a good life, he will grow up healthily naturally.

But the organization seemed to have accurately grasped this weakness. When they started to attack Tang Ze, the first thing they did was to prevent him from going to school normally because of his criminal record.

Endure the threats from the organization, abandon everything to come to Tokyo to become a student again, accept all kinds of harsh changes in the environment, and everything will go smoothly.

How hateful.

"…Has that Adachi Toru arrived in Tokyo yet?"

"Yes, he took Karasawa to the Metropolitan Police Department as soon as he arrived in Tokyo. I guess he has already been successfully employed."

"I'll come over tomorrow!"

From the change in tone, Conan completely felt that Hattori Heiji had the same guess as himself, and also felt his urgency.

So after hanging up the phone, he still lay on the windowsill, looking at the setting sun slowly falling behind the tall buildings, feeling melancholy.

For all children, the study life is normal, and even something they want to escape from, but Tang Ze had to try his best and grit his teeth to regain it.

Sometimes, I really feel...

"Sonoko just said on the phone that the last victim has woken up. Fortunately, although her organs were damaged, she has recovered well. As long as she rests well for a few months, it shouldn't have much impact on her body." Mao Lilan's voice came from behind, "Kyogoku told her that his parents said that the family of the deceased a year ago has also rushed to Izu, and everything should be clear soon."
