The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Is this very common?" Karasawa's answer surprised Hattori Heitsu.

He subconsciously wanted to refute, and after thinking carefully for a while, he felt that he really couldn't give any examples to disprove it.

"Of course it's very common." Tang Ze, who thought of many people for a while, smiled nostalgically, "Justice is not that easy to find. Those who died accidentally, those who were forced to turn their lives because of unfairness, have some regrets about these unsatisfactory things. Reluctant but helpless children, in order to give themselves an answer and find the possible truth, they chose this profession... This is also in line with everyone's expectations of the police."

"Will it..." Hattori Heiji thought uncertainly as he thought of his father's serious and unsmiling face and touched the outer edge of his baseball cap.

His father is the most standard image of a police officer in his mind. He is calm, strong in execution, and indifferent to emotions and anger. He is in line with the public's expectations of what a police department chief should be.

There are also He Ye's father and the uncles he has been in contact with since he was a child. Regardless of their personalities, most of them are of this type. No matter how you think about it, they have nothing to do with suffering, hatred, and seeking justice.

Tang Ze shrugged unsurprisingly.

"You were born in a police family. You are accustomed to this profession, and it is normal not to feel it. Among other things, the policeman you know best is your father, Mr. Hattori Heizo. You must have seen him in all kinds of ways. Such a working situation, then you can tell me why he wants to be a policeman."

Looking at Karasawa's smile, Hattori Heiji's thoughts were knotted, and he was actually stopped by Karasawa's question.

Yes, why did his father choose such a career?

"I know that your father is a well-known police detective with a high status in the police community and deep connections. As a detective, you always have to deal with the police. They will naturally regard you as the continuation of your father and regard you as the brilliance of your body. Contact him.

"You will want to reject his halo and shadow, because it is really unfair to you, and you will resist it. But Heiji..." While speaking, Karasawa looked at Mao Lilan, who was leading the way. Conan looked back and curled his lips, "That boy Kudo has already tried to explore how to better use his wisdom to nip tragedy in the bud. Don't lose to him."

Karasawa said, reaching out and turning the baseball cap he was wearing backwards.

——He has wanted to do this for a long time. This kind of pretentiousness is really uncomfortable to watch, these high school students who are obsessed with being cool.

"Such a smart brain should be used as much as possible. Don't just let it work at crime scenes!"

Hattori Heiji, who was caught off guard by Karasawa, turned his hat back first, and then realized what Karasawa meant.

Isn't this just a mockery of how he doesn't like to use his brain except when solving crimes?

Turning his head again, Karasawa, who had finished saying his dirty words, had already scurried forward, past the dazed Mouri father and daughter, and Conan, who was paying a little attention to their words and had a smile on his face, tiptoed towards the parking lot. .

"Karasawa! You're kidding me, right? Don't run!"

"I'm sorry, I really can't hold it back. Who gave you, a detective, such an unintelligent face?"

"Huh?! You said before that I look like Kudo...!"

"Yeah, I mean, you two don't look very smart."

"Karasawa...!"

"Be careful of bumping into people, watch your steps!" Looking at the two of them running further and further away, Mouri Kogoro shouted and shook his head, "Naughty boys."

Although Hattori Heiji, who was chasing after Karasawa, looked furious, his mood was surprisingly relaxed.

Yes, although he was born in a police family, the people he has interacted with the most since childhood were police officers. After he decided to become a detective, he would often come into contact with police officers from different departments because of solving cases.

But what the police are really like, the price to pay for devoting yourself wholeheartedly to this profession, the determination required... He really has no idea at all.

Perhaps this was the reason why his father, after he had solved hundreds or even thousands of cases, large and small, still scolded him for his nonsense, thinking that his detective career was just a small matter.

He will impress his father and become a respectable detective.

【rank up! Rank 2]

[Acquired ability "strategy" (map exploration efficiency greatly improved)]

[Hot-blooded and competitive, straightforward and enthusiastic, with a samurai-like personality, Hattori Heiji is an unreserved friend.

These kind words just want to tell you clearly that he is destined to be the sharp blade of sincerity that is most difficult for you to resist.

Polish it to be whiter and sharper, more thoroughly pierce the darkness and timidity that you cannot express in words, and embrace the blazing sun. 】

It was unclear whether this comment was a joke or a deliberate attempt to break his guard. Karasawa's movements were two beats slower, and he was almost caught by Hattori Heiji, who was behind him with all his teeth and claws.

What is an irresistible sharp blade... this guy Leon!

"You ran too far, the car is over there!" Conan, who was speechless by the childish ghosts, raised his hand to his mouth and shouted.

"Really, two high school students, fighting and shouting, are much more childish than elementary school students." Mouri Kogoro fumbled for the car keys and rolled his eyes at the backs of the two high school students.

"It's just because he is a high school student that he is so naive." Mao Lilan, who has seen many high school boys, crossed her arms in surprise, "When Conan becomes a high school student, he may be even more exaggerated than them."

Facing Mao Lilan's unclear gaze, Conan felt that he had been shot inexplicably and couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine: "..."

————

"You didn't come into contact with Kumail?"

"No, Mr. Rum. You said that the main task is Numabuchi Kiichiro."

"So, have the murder cases that should be faked been executed?"

"Yes, the details of the file and evidence have been corrected through channels."

"Yeah, good. So, have you tried to observe Kumail's situation?"

"Yes, he acted together with several detectives and criminal policemen. He was in a very natural state and there were no flaws. I found traces of Kiichiro Numabuchi and did not follow them further."

"Well...he didn't have any doubts about Numabuchi Kiichiro's identity?"

"I think there should be."

"oh?"

"I only used a mental interference device, but after Kiichiro Numabuchi was formally arrested, his mental state further deteriorated to the point where he almost lost his basic cognitive abilities."

"Do you think Kumail hit him?"

"Yes, I think it's similar to the cases he caused."

"Interesting, really interesting. Okay, let's go out."

"Yes, Mr. Rum."

"Don't forget to go to the logistics office for a physical examination."

"...Yes, Mr. Rum."

Lowering his eyes and groping for his phone, which was slightly warm due to the call, Curacao put it down expressionlessly and turned his feet in a different direction, deviating from the route to the safe house.

She has always carried out orders without delay. Now that Rum said so, she had better find the nearest laboratory immediately and complete his request.

Of course she wouldn't worry about the physical examination, and she had long been prepared for the suspicious and difficult Rum to test her loyalty repeatedly.

The antidote was properly stored in a suitable place by her, waiting for an opportunity to see the light of day again.

Freedom comes at a price, and she already knows this, so she will not lose her composure because of a temporary medical antidote. She will only choose the most prudent strategy and wait for a better time.

Being calm and cold will be more conducive to the possible secret conspiracy between her and Kumail, so there is no need to rush.

The long night before dawn must be overcome.

Thinking like this, she took out her personal mobile phone from the compartment of her bag.

Like most members of the organization, Curacao also has a second cell phone for activities outside the home.

However, because she was an experimental subject who could not see the light of day, her personal life was mediocre, and her social relationships were simpler than those of Hayato Hayato, who at least still had his parents at the time. Her mobile phone was so blank that it could be considered factory-new.

But now, there is a new surprise in her single-threaded relationship network.

The expression on her face did not change at all. She opened the email interface with her finger, quickly typed in a series of complex numbers and letters, and then entered a series of garbled symbols in the recipient address.

Her superior memory made her input as smooth as normal typing. She walked into the narrow alley and a line of characters was sent out in the agreed way.

————

"Have you come into contact with Curacao?" Toru Amuro asked in surprise, "How did you recognize her?"

Curacao's appearance is indeed very recognizable, but he has reason to believe that since Rum can ask her to test Tangze, he probably won't simply approach her without any disguise.

"I can even see through Belmod's disguise. It's very simple to recognize whether a person is disguised or not." After downplaying the whole process, Tang Ze changed his posture and looked at the people queuing up to pay in the convenience store. "In short, she did not doubt my true identity, so Rum's side can be considered to have dealt with it. What about your side, Mr. Amuro?"

"Well, the method you mentioned is indeed effective. Sure enough, my further testing did not arouse Rum's suspicion. When I started handing over the new 'freight channel' with them, they even gave me some extra Something." Thinking of the new information that would make Team Zero work overtime for a long time, he shrugged in a relaxed mood.

"Well, it seems that is indeed the case. 'Whiskey' stands for 'careerist'. All members whose codenames are related to Whiskey have similar identities or personality traits." Karasawa chuckled and said lightly. One sentence, "No wonder he used Curacao to reach me."

"What do you mean?" Toru Amuro, who was leaning against the bar and looking through today's income and expenses, regained his attention.

"Curaçao and Kumel are both liqueurs." Karasawa said in a very confident tone, "Next, it's my turn to think of ways to make myself more like 'liqueur'."

"What stage of conclusions have you reached now?" Toru Amuro asked directly without any additional worries.

Tangze is a guy who rarely leaves questions to others, and doesn't like to let others give him answers. As long as it's not an emergency, he is always more inclined to explore the truth by himself.

Since he would ask this kind of question, it means that he has found a possible answer.

They will take the initiative to propose it to others, just to exchange information and verify each other.

"There are indeed some small gains." Thinking of Curacao's long hair as silver as the moonlight, Tang Ze shook his head, "What is certain now is that Curacao is a talent with special abilities, and she Like Xingchuan Hui, he has been undergoing various transformation experiments by the organization for many years, and has been taking control drugs for a long time."

Toru Amuro was aware of the previous information.

Rum is a relatively special guy in the organization.

He is not too young, but based on the few words in the organization and the occasional ridicule from Gin, it is not difficult to see that Rum did not rely on his own ability to get to where he is today.

He is more like a businessman, more like a politician, more like a pretentious ruler...

Like a lot of things, except not like the second in command of a criminal organization.

But he just is.

He may have joined the organization because of someone's nepotism, or he may have been protected by an extremely influential force behind him. The significance of his identity is much greater than his personal ability.

It sounds very normal for such a special high-level person to have a hobby of collecting people with special talents.

Curacao is a genius with a memory far beyond that of ordinary people, almost a photographic memory. This ability, placed in a ruthless killer, is like a natural intelligence worker.

But the second half of the sentence...

"The fact that you would come to such a conclusion directly means that you must have found a clue. What, is Curacao's special ability the result of organizational transformation?" Amuro Toru frowned, and some bad associations began to form. comes to mind.

If her talent was directly created by other means, the meaning would be completely different.

If the organization has mastered the method of transforming such talents, but only Curacao appears, it means that the success rate of this transformation will not be very high.

It sounds like a situation that is favorable to them, but if you think about it carefully, the blood and darkness behind this success rate will make people shudder.

"I don't deny this possibility. However, I haven't been in contact with her for a long time, so I can't verify this speculation for the time being." Tangze sighed and said frankly, "If this is the case, I have to say that I and my Parents should bear some responsibility for the tragedy that happened to them."

They here refer to both Curacao and Hoshikawa Hui, and besides them, there are countless nameless people who have been submerged in the darkness.

If advanced technology falls into the hands of unscrupulous criminals, the losses and harm caused are immeasurable.

Even if he knows that these things may be "plot settings" in themselves, even if there is no cognitive knowledge, Curacao will still become Curacao, and Karasawa cannot use this reason to turn a blind eye to their experiences.

It is a fact that the abilities of Tangze's family brought her greater harm on top of her original tragic fate.

"No, I think this is a social problem that failed to detect the black sheep in time and allowed dirty companies to grow into giants." Thinking of the past of Karasawa's parents, Amuro Toru's face straightened and he said seriously, "Your Parents have done everything they can to prevent their abilities from being used in ways they should not."

Not only Karasawa’s parents, but also Teacher Elena.

Such a gentle person who speaks softly to children has become the source of countless tragedies because of the existence of the organization.

Without knowing anything, she and her husband fell into the spider web woven by the tissue and became tragic prey. They also became nutrients for this giant spider, making its claws sharper and its venom more deadly.

What makes these geniuses with lofty ideals and extremely talented people become powerful weapons for the organization?

It is the pressure of life and the pain of being unable to afford the family.

The Miyano family and the Karasawa family are both researchers who have received systematic higher education and have outstanding abilities. If the plight of the Karasawa family is related to the disease that happened to their children, what about the Miyano family?

It's ridiculous enough that this kind of thing happens to high-end talents.

"Don't worry, I know that I won't be able to think about something like this and feel that I have become a sinner." After laughing twice, Tang Ze understood what Toru Amuro was worried about. After comforting him, he added, "Besides, , no one can blame them, but I am not qualified."

"So, what are your plans now?" After confirming that Karasawa's tone of voice was still stable and not in a bad mood, Toru Amuro put aside his emotions for the time being and asked him what he thought, "It seems that you will try every means to continue contact. It’s from Curacao.”

"Even if I don't contact her, Rum will take the initiative to let her contact me." Tangze said very decisively, "Even if I don't think about anything, I should make up for my parents and so on, she is also a good entry point point."

"What's the entry point?" Toru Amuro was still asking questions, but Toru Amuro was completely in a professional state. His eyes had brightened, and he was aware of Karasawa's thoughts.

"An entry point for organizing experimental facilities."

In the convenience store, Mao Lilan and others, who finally reached the beginning of the long queue, delivered the items in their hands to the cashier one by one and began to pay. Tang Ze, who was about to wait for his dinner, grinned.

It was like a predator showing its sharp teeth, ready to bite something.

He raised his legs to greet the few people who came out. Before hanging up the phone, Tang Ze finally said: "Hoshikawa Teru is a minor, and his interaction with the organization's experiments is still too little. But in Curacao, even Rum dares to A successful 'work' that she takes with her. Guess how many secret laboratories of the organization she can tell us?"
