The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

Chapter 524 Spicy Octopus Warning

"There are a lot of delicious food in Osaka. It's quite interesting to travel here." Conan couldn't help but said while turning over the map in his hand.

"Yes, it seems that as long as there is something famous here, there will be a special 'XX Street'." Moori Kogoro, who was also looking at the Osaka travel guide he had taken, couldn't help but nodded.

"We do like to join in the fun, but there's nothing wrong with this! Only when we all get together will there be various innovations and tricks. The more the merrier." Hattori Heiji nodded seriously, thought of something, and couldn't help but look at it again He pointed in the direction of Karasawa, "You're not eating properly. Don't the octopus balls here taste delicious?"

"That's not true. The taste is quite good, and the octopus is also very big. I like these small meatballs with a burnt aroma on the surface." Tangze picked the meatballs on the plate, thought about it, and couldn't help but play with it. He said, "I was thinking, if I were wise..."

"What's wrong with Akechi? Hasn't he already returned to Tokyo?" Hattori Heiji's expression froze when he heard the name, "Are you trying to find him to solve the case?"

"What about solving a case?" Karasawa gave him a strange look, "I mean Octopus Maruko-chan. Well, he is a guy who cares about his image very much. He will remain gentle and handsome no matter what state he is in. If we hand him a Make a small octopus ball, and hide one with a different taste inside, for example, spicy as hell or something..."

"Pfft..." After imagining the scene, Hattori Heiji couldn't hold back his laughter, "With that guy's pretentious style, I'm afraid he can only eat it with a smile on his face..."

"It's true, and you have to shiver from the heat while forcing a smile on your face..." Conan couldn't help but his eyes lit up after hearing this.

"Pfft..." Xingchuan Hui, who was sitting two tables behind them with his back to them, didn't hold back and squirted out the ice water in his mouth.

Miyano Akemi rubbed his back sympathetically and whispered: "It's okay. At worst, don't eat the food they handed you while you're in disguise."

"...What if Tang Ze hands it to me himself?" Xingchuan Hui asked through gritted teeth.

"It's okay. I'll start eating spicy food from now on. After eating it for half a month, I'll get used to it." Asai Narumi, who was sitting on the other side, also patted him.

Tangze, who was suppressing a smile, looked back at his teammates secretly. Facing Mao Lilan, who was looking over in confusion, he said innocently: "We are discussing everyone's food taste. Classmate Lan and Uncle Maori both prefer traditional flavors. Type, right?"

"Ah, that's true. I can't accept dishes that are too creative." Mao Lilan nodded without doubting his presence, and discussed the taste of this restaurant and the next trip with Mao Li Kogoro.

Tangze turned his head, glanced at the police car outside the store, and squinted his eyes.

"Hattori, you made a special trip to call the police car and called the police officer because you were worried about that nightmare?" Karasawa lowered his voice and asked, "Or is it that the case your father encountered was so serious that you had to Not careful about how safe you are?”

Conan, who was struggling with the hot batter in his mouth, caught the key word and immediately turned his head to look at Hattori Heiji.

Even if his father is the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, it is not difficult to use police officers and police cars to receive several private guests. There should be a reason for this choice.

"It's probably both reasons." Looking at the happy Maori father and daughter, who didn't feel anything strange from the journey, Hattori Heiji also lowered his voice, "I invited Kudo because of that heart-wrenching scene. It’s a nightmare, but I invited you because of this case.”

"What happened to this case?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by the answer he gave, so he added, "Does this case have anything to do with me? Why, the deceased in this case is also there Make an unjust accusation and put an innocent high school student on a criminal record?"

"...Hey, the atmosphere has just become more serious." Hattori Heiji couldn't help but clenched his fists without even raising his voice.

"Relax, don't be too serious. No matter why you came here, we are on a tour now. Being too serious will make Uncle Maori and others suspicious." Tangze smiled, casually poked a meatball and stuffed it in his mouth. .

Hattori Heiji raised his hat and felt helpless for his rare long-term client.

At first, he felt that under Tang Ze's smiling appearance all year round, he had a slightly gloomy and occasionally extreme head due to his past; then he gradually felt that the situation had changed, and that it should be the other way around, that he was slightly distant and indifferent. Under that side, there is a more open-minded and thorough thinking.

Call him optimistic. He is not afraid to speculate on others with the greatest malice. Call him gloomy. He can really gradually resolve the sufferings of the past and show a unique kind of humor that is polished by setbacks.

The more I get to know him, the more I feel that such a contradictory guy is really unsettling and there is nothing you can do about him...

"Okay, that's exactly what you said." He sighed, and Hattori Heiji no longer kept a low voice like an underground worker. As he spoke, he took two meatballs from Karasawa's plate as a token of appreciation. Revenge, "This is a serial murder case. It is highly suspected that the murderer is related to the police system, or, similar to you, may have encountered some top-down shady story..."

Conan, who was busy eating and drinking, was suddenly attracted to his attention. He sat up straight and asked, "Which kind of relationship is it?"

The serial murder case, the police system, and Karasawa was involved... Futo Kyousuke's distorted face flashed back for an instant.

The last time the old incident of Tangze's case was brought up, it was not a good memory.

"The case is still under investigation, but the current two deceased people are likely to be related to an official." Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji flicked his hat in frustration, "I used to think that a policeman like my father should be most……"

Hattori Heiji, who grew up in a family of high-ranking police officers, had never considered these issues before he started investigating the shady story of the police system because of Karasawa's case.

His father was an upright man and acted vigorously and resolutely. The police officers he came into contact with either had a similar iron-blooded image, or they were police officers who tightened their nerves under his father's command and dispatch and never relaxed in their actions...

Being exposed to something deep in the darkness too early made him feel depressed and a little confused.

When he called Tangze over, he actually wanted to listen carefully to the other party's thoughts from Tangze's perspective, that is, the victim's perspective.

"Police is a profession. There are noble idealists who join it, as well as mediocre and even despicable ordinary people. There is no need to be too anxious, Heiji-kun." From his reaction, Karasawa realized something, and stretched out He patted his shoulder.

When children of high school age come into contact with criminal investigation, the biggest problem is not knowledge or wisdom, but the unavoidable direct look at human nature when facing vicious cases.

A minor with a clear distinction between good and evil was dragged onto a thief ship by himself on the grounds of entrustment. It seemed that he was a little lacking in virtue...

"Do you really think this way? Don't you have any additional resentment and prejudice against the police?" Thinking of what Karasawa said earlier when he saw the police car, even though it was a joke, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but hesitate.

"Don't worry, even if I am really caught by the police again, I won't turn into a guy yelling for revenge on society." Tangze patted him hard on the shoulder again.

If he had no memories or experiences from his previous life, he might still have a psychological shadow on the police because he was really abused. But after recovering his memory and knowing what kind of person he was facing, Tang Ze on the set of the police and robbers set was like a mirror. .

Bastards can be found everywhere, and noble people can be found everywhere. The darkness of a few people does not need to extend to everyone.

Karasawa's attitude towards the police can be seen by looking at Rei Fangtani who has more contact with him!

Rei Fukutani clearly understands Karasawa's position and point of view, so he asked people from Team Rei to strengthen him several times - even when he was still in the stage of pretending, Karasawa didn't let Kazami Yuya do it. I had any overreaction when I was arrested, and now I'm pretending to be a shadow, and Jiang Guling doesn't buy it.

"Catch or not, revenge on society, what are you talking about?" Sakata Yusuke walked in and looked at Karasawa in confusion again, becoming more and more unsure about the origins of Hattori Heiji's guests.

"We were talking about the recent new case." Hattori Heiji coughed and quickly changed the topic, "We've almost eaten, where should we go next?"

Except for his parents, he didn't tell anyone else that he was investigating Tang Ze. Naturally, they were the only ones who knew about Tang Ze's situation.

Anyway, everyone was used to him accepting the commission and running around doing things, and he added a regular investigation project to Kyoto, which didn't attract much attention.

The truth about Tang Ze's case and how the police were involved is unknown. Of course, he can't go around mentioning this matter.

"How about okonomiyaki?" Sakata Yusuke looked at Karasawa doubtfully for a while, shook his head, and then proactively suggested, "This is also a very unique thing."

"Okonomiyaki..." Hattori Heiji, who was walking out of the store, touched his chin and nodded slowly, "But in that case, won't we have to take a long detour?"

"That's right. If you want to get to Midosuji, you have to go around twice." Sakata Yusuke nodded and walked calmly towards the direction of the vehicle.

His purpose is very clear and he is confident in his arrangements and will not worry about changes in his itinerary.

No matter what these guests plan to do, when they come to Osaka, how can they not go to Shinsaibashi?

Hattori Heiji took out his mobile phone and studied the navigation for a while, frowning at the twists and turns of the route: "It's really troublesome. There are so many one-way streets in Osaka, it's not easy to choose this route..."

"So I want you to plan ahead. If you go to okonomiyaki first and then eat octopus balls, the road will be much smoother." Yusuke Sakata sighed pretending to have a headache, fully expressing his embarrassment as a driver.

"After all, are you entertaining others? Of course you have to consider the opinions of the guests." Hattori Heiji shrugged and opened the passenger door, "Do you have any suggestions, Sakata?"

It was precisely because he was familiar with the roads and small shops that Officer Sakata volunteered to do the reception work, and Hattori Heiji naturally asked him what he thought.

"I'll take you to a store that's relatively close. Let me think about it. There's a store that doesn't have to be far away. It tastes good and uses fresh ingredients." Yusuke Sakata nodded and gave suggestions naturally. .

"That's great." Mouri Kogoro nodded quickly, flexing his waist and abdomen. "It would be great to be closer. Sitting in the car for too long makes people feel uncomfortable."

Especially if you are riding in a police car.

No one knows better than a former criminal police officer what kind of police car a police station can equip, and what kind of experience it is like in a police car and in the back seat.

This car is said to be very new, and the mileage there must be tens of thousands. It is only considered a new car in the police station, and it has a limited prefix.

"Okay, let's go then. Don't worry, Mr. Detective Mori. It only takes ten minutes to reach this store. It's easier to find a parking space nearby. It's very convenient." After achieving his goal, Sakata Yusuke stepped forward with a smile and wanted to help the guests. When he opened the door and saw Tang Ze, his movements froze again.

The baby-faced boy's previous "joke" was still fresh in his mind, and he didn't know whether it was polite or offensive to take the initiative to pull the car door.

Tangze, who fully understood what he was embarrassed about, walked over with a smile, opened the car door and got in.

"Don't be nervous, Officer Sakata. I have a lot of experience riding in police cars. You can just drive." Karasawa, who had written several notes not long after arriving in Tokyo, said without any pressure, and looked at Yusuke Sakata cautiously.

Murderers who want to avenge their loved ones generally have very clear targets and will not accidentally injure passers-by. This is why Tangze's mentality is relatively relaxed.

I just don’t know if I really provoked the other party’s nerves. Will Officer Sakata still have some of the professional ethics of the police? Suddenly he has the mission of killing so many people, so why don’t he do it again for the people? feel……

Hey, it’s inconvenient to go out. Who in Tokyo’s Search Class 1 doesn’t know that he is an ex-convict?

"That's it..." After laughing twice, Sakata Yusuke opened the driver's door, got in, checked the vehicle, and adjusted the rearview mirror. At the same time, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

Since Hattori Heiji's friends can travel with the detective, there shouldn't be any big problems, right?

Suddenly I regretted choosing to take this opportunity to complete my plan.

Just fooling Hattori Heiji alone is already very difficult, and if you have to calculate so many tricks...

Karasawa, who felt no guilt for the psychological pressure he had caused for the murderer, watched him sit down in the car, then glanced at Kogoro Mouri's sleeves and looked around hesitantly, possibly sensing that someone was following him. Mao Lilan, Tang Ze smiled and chose a comfortable sitting position.

Don't tell me, their trip to Osaka, strictly speaking, was quite huge.

Behind their police car was a taxi following them all the way, and it was not difficult to see that Toyama Kazuya was quite well off.

Then behind Toyama and Ye, there were three of his teammates who worked tirelessly to chase after the leader, faithfully fulfilling the principle that the Phantom Thieves would be where the joker was.

Soon, after they finished their meal and more food came, it was time for Hattori Heizo and others to join in the fun.

Hiss, don't tell me. No wonder Hattori Heiji's nightmare keeps crackling and roaring when he clears the magazine?

If a gunman really appeared and tried to kill everyone in the detective group, then one magazine might not be enough.

But if Hattori Heiji's "prophecy" really comes true, then the first one to smile will be the boss of the winery.

So many of the organization's henchmen were killed all over the place because of an ordinary serial murder. It would make you laugh out of your dreams.

You don't care whether they won or not, just say they won or not! As for how you win, does it matter?

And this case, strictly speaking, can it really have anything to do with the organization?

Although it is not that closely related to the main plot, since the keyword "experiment" is included, it naturally falls into the scope of Karasawa's investigation.

"Is it my imagination? It seems like someone has been staring at me." Mao Lilan, who was sitting next to him, put Conan on his knees and couldn't help but touch the cold back of his neck.

Strangely, although she occasionally encounters some guys who strike up a conversation, or think that she looks kinder and may be easy to bully, so they want to come and cause trouble, so she does encounter strange stares, but this feeling remains. It's a little too long...

"Look at how beautiful you are." Mouri Kogoro was alert for two seconds, carefully looked at his daughter who had been tidied up quite decently for a while, and then relaxed and leaned back.

"Is that so? Well, it's so strange, it's not that kind of sight..."

"What kind of sight is that, malicious?"

"Well, I can't describe it well..."

"If you say that, I feel a little bit like this too..." Hattori Heiji touched his chin.

"Ah, that seems to be it." Conan, who indeed felt that he was receiving an unkind gaze, also touched his chin.

Karasawa, who was editing the email, paused for a moment while typing with his fingers, glanced at the detectives who were pondering whether it was related to the case, and coughed.

Well, that's because Hoshikawa Teru doesn't feel comfortable glaring at him with a death gaze, and he knows that he's thick-skinned, so glaring at him is useless...

Who gives them nothing to do and make immoral suggestions? Maybe Hoshikawa would not dare to eat casually when he was acting as Akechi Goro for a long time to come.

Tangze maintained a serious expression and hid his very wicked smile. At the same time, he finished typing the email in his hand and sent it out.

[You should know that I followed Kudo and others to investigate the case outside, so I won’t go into details. In short, I came to Osaka at the request of Hattori Heiji.

A case happened here, and I noticed something unusual in it.
