The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

Chapter 578 Tang Ze: Asking questions is my father’s fault

Tang Ze stood behind the two girls, watching them carefully open the booklet, find the location of the numbers, and prepare to change their names.

"Wow, they are all famous guys."

Tangze turned his head, and as expected, the two boys who were waiting aside with nothing to do had opened an old roster and were quickly attracted to it.

"This name, it's the former Prime Minister, right? And this, isn't this the name of the president of RB Bank?" Hattori Heiji clicked through the names one by one, and his smile suddenly widened, "There are a lot of high-level people, The various 'captains' of RB are all here."

"It seems that immortality is really attractive..." Conan shook his head, picked up a book next to him, and flipped through it.

"Hey, you two, Ms. Shimabukuro asked us to write our own names, but she didn't ask you to do this!" Toyama Kazuha, who had been fighting with the brush for a while, turned around with eyes wide open.

"Is it human nature to want to pursue a good wish? Conan, don't go through other people's things." Putting down the correction stickers that were carefully cut to the right size, Mao Lilan rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the two people.

"I'm just taking a look...Eh?" Turning to the next page, Hattori Heiji's smile suddenly stopped as he stared blankly at the contents on the roster, his eyes widening.

Conan, who felt his movement, couldn't help but stand on tiptoes, looked at the notebook in Hattori Heiji's hand, and was also stunned.

"You two rude guys, put your things down... huh? Karasawa?" Mao Lilan, who reached out to grab Conan's collar, couldn't help being surprised when he saw the contents on the roster.

"What's wrong?" Tang Ze looked over and walked to them. He quickly saw the contents of the roster of three people.

"Karasawa Ikawa".

"Tang Ze, this is..." Mao Lilan, who was not very sure, observed Tang Ze's expression and asked carefully.

"Well, this must be my father." Tang Ze reached out and touched the name under "Si Shi Er" and said without any surprise.

Not only is Karasawa Ikawa's name written here, but there are more acquaintances among the names that follow.

"Miyano Shiho", "Kurosawa Formation", "Uozuka Saburo".

Tang Ze couldn't help laughing when he looked at the content on this page.

You said that the winery is having fun. They pay attention to the spirit of immortality. They seem to be serious. If you want to say that they are serious, several members of the code name have landed on the island and registered their real names here...

Why, are you afraid that the arrows received under a false name will become ineffective?

As expected of an academic, rigorous.

The reason why Hattori Heiji and Conan were shocked was not just because they saw Karasawa's father's name.

Miyano Shiho, if I remember correctly, this is the real name of that little girl/Haihara...

The shutter clicked, and the two people raised their heads and saw that Tang Ze had already raised his phone and took a picture of the page.

"What's the matter? Researchers need to travel too." Facing the looks of several people, Karasawa smiled lightly, and nodded slightly when he looked at Conan and Hattori.

Yes, this is an organized action.

Taking into account the various strange phenomena after they landed on the island, if the original attraction of the American Island to the organization mainly came from the legend of the immortal mermaid, then now, I am afraid that there is also an element of cognitive mythology.

According to Karasawa's guess, if for this world, the cognitive world has already existed, but it is a special alien world that has never been perceived by humans, then the secret treasure on the island must not have been newly born in recent years.

——The Shimabukuro family are the witches and goddesses who have always been on the island and presided over the shrine.

"When was this record recorded?" Tangze asked softly with a very calm expression.

"...It was two years ago." Hattori Heiji closed the register, looked at the writing on the cover, and said with a frown.

"Two years ago, that's right." Karasawa nodded, lowered his voice and whispered, "Shiho received his doctorate two years ago and returned to RB."

Miyano Shiho is the same age as Karasawa. She was 16 years old two years ago - the age when she received her doctorate.

When I returned to the organization, I was dragged here to read the nonsensical longevity legend, which was quite natural.

Hattori Heiji, whose expression became serious, looked at the roster in his hand and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of mission.

Karasawa's parents lost their personal freedom because they were controlled by this special organization, leading to the ultimate tragedy; Karasawa's sister Miyano Shiho was also a researcher of this organization. To be precise, that little girl was The developer of the drug that caused Kudo to shrink...

Things on this island seemed more complicated than he imagined.

"Having said that, it's not appropriate to go through these things without Ms. Shimabukuro's consent. Let's put the things back first." After regaining consciousness, Mao Lilan hesitated for a moment and insisted.

One code equals the other. They accepted other people's kindness and came to change their names. After all, it is impolite to rummage through things privately.

"It doesn't matter." A gentle female voice came from the door. Shimabukuro Kimie stood in front of the door and looked at them, "I told you, it's not a vital secret - in fact, everyone on the island will come if they have something to do. Look through these things and look for celebrities who came to register. Have you changed it?"

"Well, well!" Mao Lilan nodded and bowed slightly apologetically, "I'm causing you trouble."

"The festival will start tomorrow night. After the festival, my grandma will draw the lucky ones who get the arrows. Please remember to come and participate." Shimabukuro-san straightened his sleeves and showed a smile without any grudges, "Although It's a bit inappropriate to say this, but considering my grandma's age, every dugong festival may be the last one. Don't leave any regrets, everyone."

————

"'Don't leave any regrets' or something like that, such a strange expression." Walking out of the shrine and walking on the streets that came alive with the rising sun, Toyama Kazuyo thought about what he had heard before and couldn't help but say, "That sounds really good." I haven’t seen the goddess, maybe there is something wrong with Shimabukuro-san’s grandma..."

That tone was not so much that he expected them to attend the meeting, but rather that he was convinced that this year would be the last one, and if he couldn't attend, he would definitely have regrets.

"Not necessarily. Well, it's normal for a 140-year-old grandma to be in poor health and not be able to go out or meet guests... Rather, it's really amazing that she can still host events consciously at this age. situation." Mao Lilan said, took out the wooden sign with the numbers on it, and sighed.

"However, I still feel that Ms. Shimabukuro seems to be in a bad mood..."

"Perhaps there are too many busy things to do during the festival."

"Shall we go to the gift shop again? I remember that there are many things produced by this shrine. Why not buy a few more as a way of supporting Ms. Shimabukuro."

"good idea!"

The two girls quickly determined their next itinerary, while the three people following them didn't pay attention to the direction they were going, and huddled together and whispered.

"So, the medicine Kudo and the little girl took is actually a mysterious formula that can make people rejuvenate..."

"At least they designed this thing for this purpose." Karasawa confirmed Hattori Heiji's guess, and said, "Don't call her little girl Shiho... She is one year older than you, you should call her sister. ."

"When I was fed that medicine, I did hear the two men in black say that it was a medicine newly developed by the organization." Conan held his chin and kept thinking about the scene he just saw, "If you say that, As a developer, it seems understandable that Hui Yuan would go to the island to inquire about immortal mermaid meat."

"...If this is really the case, Kudo." Hattori Heiji looked solemn, "You must hide your identities." Once the effects of this special drug are known, even criminal organizations that are so evil will become a paradise for everyone to flock to. "

He and Conan looked at each other, and the famous figures he had just met appeared in front of his eyes.

That's all that really affects RB, the guys who, in fact, dominate this country.

If they can be attracted by an illusory blessing, then if the medicine that can truly return them to their youth is placed in front of them...

Even now, in a state that can be regarded as poison, as long as there are two real cases of them in front of them, it can already drive too many people into madness.

Even if it has a high mortality rate, leaving it until it is very close to death and fighting to the death is still an extremely tempting option.

Moreover, since Karasawa Ikawa and Miyano Shiho two years ago were still under the tight control of the organization, then from Karasawa Ikawa's No. 42 to Miyano Shiho's No. 49, the ones in between Could all the names be...

The two detectives, whose heads were spinning very quickly, quickly realized this, and then each of them grabbed Tang Ze's cell phone.

"The photo just now, photo!"

"Yes, record all the names on this page...!"

"Okay, don't bother me. I've already sent you two an email." Tangze, who had already predicted it, calmly returned to the desktop with one click, hiding the Kaitou Line interface, and raised his head He stopped and said, "I'm sending a message to Shiho to ask. You can do your own research."

The two people who grabbed the empty phone each went to get their mobile phones, preparing to carefully record the names on this page and conduct a thorough investigation.

"Ah ah--"

At this moment, a horrifying scream came from the front, awakening the DNA of the two detectives almost instantly.

The two people took a quick step - Conan and two - rushed to the front position and looked in the direction of the sound.

When they weren't paying attention, the two girls had brought several people to the gift shop again.

Naoko Kuroe, who had an ear-length haircut, was covering her ears with both hands, watching Mao Lilan and others retreating while screaming in terror.

This shrill scream, which hovered on the edge of broken sound, was no longer like the sound that humans could make, but closer to the cry of an animal.

"Mermaid, the mermaid is here!" Kuroe Naoko, who was already in a frenzy, pointed at the two girls standing in front of the store in shock, "Don't come over here, don't come over here! I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it! !!”

"Miss Hei, Heijiang..." Mao Lilan, who was frightened by her appearance, shrank her neck, tightened the arms of Toyama and Ye, and took half a step back.

"Sorry, two customers." The middle-aged woman they chased out of the store, the one they had seen yesterday, grabbed Kuroe Naoko who was about to run away, apologized to several people, and said, "Naoko didn't mean it. I'm talking about you guys. She was a little hypersensitive today, and she was a little nervous when she came here..."

"Hahaha, hahahaha..." Kuroe Naoko, who was pulled by her and unable to move at all, burst into sharp laughter after a period of struggle, "It's too late, the mermaid is coming, we are all going to die, we They’re all going to die!”

When she said this, she suddenly stared in the direction of the five people with a pair of blood-red eyes.

Then he raised his hand accurately and pointed at Tangze's face.

"The monster behind the glass is coming out...!"

————

"It doesn't matter to me, it really doesn't matter." Tangze swallowed the ball in his mouth, saw the expressions of the others, and waved his hands carelessly, "If you want to play or investigate something, just go directly. I'll stay in the hotel alone. It’s pretty good too.”

"But, but..." Yuan Shan and Ye wrung their hands, "Since we are traveling, I will leave you here alone..."

Although they were looking forward to the upcoming Dugong Festival, after landing on the island, they gradually immersed themselves in the pleasant rhythm of travel. Toyama and Ye Ke had not forgotten the purpose of their trip.

They originally wanted to bring Karasawa here to relax, but now they left him alone in the room...!

"Okay, it's really okay. Well, maybe it's because of something my father did before? Well, although my hair color is different from his, my father and I actually look quite similar." Tangze smiled casually, He told the hell joke nonchalantly, "After all, he is a lunatic who has been criticized by others. It is normal to scare a few ordinary people."

That's the worst case scenario...

Hattori Heiji frowned and looked worriedly at Karasawa sitting in the room.

If it is true that Karasawa Ikawa's landing on the island two years ago caused any impact, then the risk of Karasawa staying on the island is actually very high.

Either because of that organization or because of the hostility of the islanders.

Ever since they met Kuroe Naoko in the morning, it seemed as if some strange switch had been turned on, and they had experienced an inexplicable morning.

Most of the islanders did not show any abnormality to them, but there were many residents who, like Kuroe Naoko, suddenly went crazy when they saw Karasawa, or ran away.

Some of them just changed their faces, turned around and ran away, while others would let out a series of yells, using similar words.

Probably a few keywords such as "monster", "water tank", "escape", etc., as if the person standing in front of them was not an ordinary handsome boy, but a monster that could choose people to eat at any time.

After repeating this encounter four or five times, he realized that if he continued to wander around the island, even if Tangze was very innocent, he would definitely be looked at with strange eyes by many islanders who didn't know why. They decisively stopped the trip and formed a circle. The circle blocked Tang Ze's face and quickly returned to the hotel with him in between.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the hotel staff, otherwise, it might not be safe to stay here.

"Okay, I'm really fine. Well, it may have something to do with my father. I'll ask my contact person and see." He waved his hand carelessly, and Tang Ze looked at his friends placatingly, "Okay. , if you don’t buy lunch, I’m going to be really hungry. I have to wait for you to come back to feed me.”

After pulling for a while, the four reluctantly left the room.

——When he left, he didn't forget to tell Tang Ze to lock the doors and windows and pay attention to safety.

Turning around and walking in the corridor, Hattori Heiji and Conan, whose faces were tense, exchanged a knowing look and quickened their pace at the same time.

They must start investigating the situation on the island as soon as possible... Even if they don't consider the missing client, for the sake of Karaze's safety, they must find out the whole story.

Tangze, who was sitting in the room, bit the last meatball on the sign and waited for half a minute. After making sure that all the footsteps outside the door were far away, he said aloud: "Okay, they are all gone, you can come out."

With a "swipe" sound, the closet in the Japanese-style room was pulled open from the inside, and the three people huddled together fell onto the tatami.

"I have to hide in a place like this, but you guys can't squeeze in." Tang Ze clicked his tongue twice, "Come over and eat. We are all rats on the street now."

"Who told you to smash the glass for nothing?" Xingchuan Hui, who was pressed at the bottom, clenched his fists. "A normal person would think of smashing open a glass with cracks everywhere and a glass full of seawater. ?!"

"What should we do? It's easy to get obsessive-compulsive disorder when you see something like this that needs to be broken, okay?" Tang Ze stopped pretending in front of his teammates, turned over and took out the bento and put it on the dining table, his face covered with Innocent, "Don't you have any objections? Hey, who would have thought that this island is about to reach this point."

Last night, after exchanging information about the situation in the Impression Space, before the arrow was returned, several people held hands and entered the Island's Impression Space together to experience a wave of spiritual attacks.

Shimabukuro Kimie had no hope of finding the impression space. The tank was too big. Even if they could locate the secret treasure, they didn't know how long they would have to swim in the sea. They might as well find her from the real side.

They swam to the edge of the sea and witnessed the scene described by Tangze with their own eyes. Although they could not be called densely packed, they still felt a chill when they looked at the pairs of eyes quietly pressed against the glass.

Then, Tangze, who wanted to test the strength of the barrier, couldn't help but use his hands a little bit.

The glass that had already cracked into cobwebs was not further cracked by Karasawa's hammer blows, but all the eyes on the glass were fixed on the few people floating beside the glass in the next moment.

Then the alert level soared to 100, and after coming out, Tangze discovered that this group of shadowy old men seemed to have seen the scene of Tangze smashing the glass in his sleep due to the weakness of the barrier between the two worlds on the island. And it seems to be directly located on the person.

Judging from the extremely high level of alertness, one could guess that it was impossible to give them a good look.

Fast forwarding to the wanted criminal simulator, the immersion was strong. Tang Ze said that he would dare to do it next time.

"If you think about it a little bit, at least now we can be sure that those who hate us are bad guys with shadows, so we don't have to deal with the heads, right?" Tang Ze comforted, and couldn't help but asked curiously, "But, what on earth do you think? What's wrong with Naoko Kuroe? She looks like she's dying."

When he saw Naoko Kuroe in the morning, who was dying with a pale face and dark circles under her eyes, Karasawa felt that if he scared her twice more, she wouldn't need Shimabukuro Kimie to take action, and she would die on her own.

"Nothing." Narumi Asai, who was in charge of this matter, sat down at the table. "I asked Noah to play the sound recorded in the impression space on Naoko Kuroe's mobile phone for one night."

He suddenly recalled Tang Ze's voice, which was like fingernails scratching a blackboard, too sharp to catch, but making people's hair stand on end: "..."

He turned around silently and saw that Naomi Asai, who had picked out a piece of tuna from the lunch box, had calmly opened the package, took out his chopsticks, and picked up a piece of fish.

His temperament was like that of a killer who had finished a brutal job and was sitting at the scene of the crime eating calmly.
