The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"So, what you are saying is that APTX4869 can indeed rejuvenate a person's body, but it cannot change the real 'core' of a person, so even if he really changes from an old man to a young man, the inside will still be corrupted."

The neon night view of Tokyo outside the car window was reflected on the window. Haihara Ai nodded slowly while looking at the light and shadow outside the window.

"I am not the real inventor of APTX4869. When you see Belmode, you may have already guessed." Taking a deep breath of the leather-scented air in the car, Haihara Ai relaxed and leaned on the soft leather seat. , "I was probably not even born when Belmod took similar drugs."

"Yes, although there is no doubt that you are a unique genius, but no offense, just based on the few years you have worked in the organization, it is still impossible for you to independently develop such an amazing drug." Still being wise Karasawa, dressed as Goro, held the steering wheel and nodded.

Haibara Ai agreed with Karasawa's guess and explained: "Well, according to the information I have come across, the practice of organizations using drugs to poison assassination targets while observing symptoms has long existed. Kudo can only be ranked second on the list. The last few. I initially felt that the direction of my improvement of the drug should be to reduce mortality, but their attitude was very subtle."

There is one thing to say, indeed.

If nothing else is mentioned, I will mention it in the future. The Haneda Koji case, which is closely related to Rum, happened 17 years ago, when Miyano Shiho was probably just born.

Karasawa has always understood Bermod's hatred of Miyano Shiho as a continuation of her parents' feelings and an ongoing hatred for this drug research and development line.

The existence of the ageless witch Belmod itself is excellent evidence for this argument.

"They don't seem to care whether the drug will kill people. In our second-phase animal experiments, the mortality rate was close to 100%, which is intolerable in ordinary research and development, but their focus is more on the overall drug response of the dead animals. On. I once thought their purpose was to develop a murderous drug that would not be easily detected."

Hui Yuan Ai lowered her head and carefully looked at her little arms and legs that now belonged to a child.

That's why she was so surprised after discovering the degeneration of the experimental mice and the disappearance of Kudo Shinichi.

Looking back now, she, the conductor of the experiment, was probably the one who was kept in the dark.

"So, do you think the reason why Belmod hates you so much is because she has experienced the side effects of this drug?" Tangze said, raising his eyebrows in amusement.

There is no doubt that Bellmode is younger, at least younger than the Sharon Wynyard she once played.

When Sharon appeared in the public eye, she was similar to the age of Chrissy Wynyard, who she is currently using, indicating that she was already a user of APTX, or silver bullet, decades ago.

And Super Game spoiler Karasawa knows very well that unlike survivors of new drugs such as Conan and Miyano Shiho, she has serious side effects, including but not limited to insomnia, nightmares, pain, etc. Although she looks young and beautiful, The scenery is endless, but no one knows how much a heavy price has been paid.

"It's more than that. Tang Ze, when a person gets older, his or her entire physiological system is actually completely different from when he was young." Haiyuan Ai opened her five fingers and raised them in front of her face, watching the light pass through her little The palm of the hand, "metabolism, endocrine, blood circulation... Have you heard that when people reach a certain age, their sleep time will become shorter and shorter, because melatonin levels will continue to decrease. Organs begin to fail and tissues begin to age. This is Belongs to the final chapter of life.”

Stopping at a traffic light intersection, Tang Ze turned his head and looked at the little girl who was smiling at the shadow of his palm.

The fragile confusion and childishness faded from her face, and she looked at her hand, as if touching something invisible through it.

The person speaking at this moment was Miyano Shiho, who was omnipotent in his own field, just like Athena.

Although she has a lot of weakness and pessimism in her personality and behavior, as a true young genius, she certainly has her own arrogance and self-control.

"I understand now. The effect of APTX is like reversing the continued shortening of telomeres and forcibly turning the scale of life counterclockwise, but these traces of aging have already caused trauma to them. Just like Belmod, according to As far as I know, her sleep is so short that it can be ignored. Even if she barely relies on medicine to fall asleep, she can hardly sleep peacefully..."

After saying this, she turned her head, met Tang Ze's gaze, and smiled brightly.

"That's why they need cognitive mysteries. They need to literally change the soul... just like you're doing in the lab.

"I was originally thinking that they couldn't possibly have such magical powers as you. How did I guess that cognition could in turn affect reality and achieve a feat similar to 'resurrection'? Now I understand.

"The time given by APTX and the new life brought by cognitive learning, Tangze, this is their purpose, 'Reverse the flow of time and bring the dead back to life!'"

At the moment when the traffic light changed, the display screen at the intersection finished playing the last advertisement and the screen suddenly lit up.

The brilliant white light shone through the car window onto Haiyuan Ai's face, illuminating her lovely and delicate face clearly.

With a high smile on her lips.

Tangze was stunned for a few seconds, then at the urging of the vehicle behind him, he released the brakes and started forward.

He always regarded her as a little sister who still needed to be cared for by him, and he almost forgot——

Although Miyano Shiho is a girl with a gentle personality and weak hands, she is also a general who scolds Fang Qiu in the laboratory.

But now, she seemed to have finally grabbed her own weapon and found the killer move that could deliver a winning blow.

"They have lost their aunt and uncle and have nothing else to rely on. Wearing delicate skins cannot change their nature. Give me some time and I will catch them, Karasawa!"

Looking back at the girl from the corner of his eye, Tang Ze stepped on the accelerator, quickly changed lanes, and also raised the corners of his mouth.

So beautiful, she looks like this.

————

"Go and get some rest early." Seeing Haihara Ai, who was excited and still had a smile on her face, jumping out of the car like a real little girl, Tang Ze said, "Don't work too late, Sister Mingmei. I’ll be worried.”

"...They say I just look like a kid." Haiyuan Ai, who was about to run towards the house, paused and muttered in a low voice, "I used to work like this, my sister loves to worry too much."

Even though she and Haibara Ai knew each other's existence and could chat with her sister every day, Miyano Akemi had no intention of removing the high-power telescope upstairs.

As long as there is no real day and night contact, my sister should still be worried.

This should be called, elder sister is like mother? In other words, Miyano Akemi was suffocated by her past life of less gathering and more separation?

In short, using high-powered telescopes to determine her sister's daily routine is something Miyano Akemi likes to do these days. Unless Karasawa really has an urgent need to work overtime, she basically won't allow Haibara Ai to stay up late.

"That only means that your previous job was even more unhealthy. Well, have a good sleep. Everything will come in time. There is no need to rush."

"I know..." Haiyuan Aibei began, hesitated for a moment, then turned back and asked carefully, "Well, what do you think of the plan I proposed before?"

"It's a bit risky. To be honest, even if you haven't become smaller, you are still no match for her." Tang Ze patted the steering wheel and said this first. Seeing her face stiffen, he softened his tone and said, "But this It’s certainly a good plan. Worth a try.”

"You mean, you agree with my idea?" Haiyuan Ai's eyes lit up.

"Don't worry. No matter how many problems arise, I'm still here." Tang Ze leaned out and rubbed her head twice.

After breaking away from Tang Ze's rubbing hands, Haiyuan frowned, closed the car door, turned around and ran towards the doctor's house: "You are also an arrogant maniac. Good night Tang Ze!"

"Good night." He waved in the direction she ran away. Tang Ze turned his head with a smile, restarted the car, and said to himself, "What does 'ye' mean..."

The vehicle passed through an alleyway in the 2-chome residential area and returned to the city road.

Karasawa doesn't have his own car - well, not counting the flashy sports cars in the stronghold, which are too eye-catching, but the Phantom Thieves' public car - he drove to pick up Belmod and take Haibara Ai home today. Naturally, he asked someone to borrow his car.

After using it, he has to send it back properly.

————

"Mr. Amuro, I put the key directly on the shelf at your door—"

Karasawa walked along the stairs to the second floor. When the call was connected, he had already reached Toru Amuro's door.

The restless Ireland was temporarily restrained by Belmode, so Toru Amuro changed the car back to his beloved white Mazda, and several replacement vehicles used to deal with Ireland's tracking were idle in the garage.

If you want to borrow a car with excellent performance and a relatively low profile, looking for him is undoubtedly Tangze's best choice now.

By the way, the cars that the FBI can provide for casual use are all bulletproof pickup trucks. They have the beauty of an American soldier, which Karasawa wouldn't even consider.

As soon as he finished speaking, the apartment door in front of him was opened with a "swipe". Toru Amuro, who was wearing home clothes but obviously still working, raised his head from the information in his hand and glanced at Karasawa.

"Come in directly, I just have something to ask you."

What are you doing? Are you ready to torture a wave of monster thieves for their identity?

Thinking of what happened last time he came to the apartment, Tang Ze, who always felt that there was something in his words, retracted his feet in alarm.

It's already very embarrassing to fall off the horse. Wouldn't it be better to save him some face and see through it without telling him?

Toru Amuro rolled her eyelids when she saw him hunching his shoulders and looking like he was running away if the situation was not good.

This kid probably realized that something was wrong after being deceived by him last time, and he most likely realized that his identity was exposed.

From that day on, whenever he expressed that he wanted to talk alone about something, Tang Ze acted like a frightened bird, as if he was afraid that he would handcuff him away directly, or simply expose the situation.

Really, who is the guilty one? Why does he, the victim who was kept in the dark, still have to protect the face of this liar...

Cursing in his heart, Toru Amuro stretched out his hand, quickly and accurately lifted up Karasawa's collar, and pulled Karasawa, who still looked like Goro Akechi, directly into the door.

"Don't make trouble, I want to ask you about business." Tang Ze, who was about to run away at any time if he let go, walked back to the restaurant filled with documents, "When I screened the documents earlier, I mainly focused on you. My father ignored some very important information."

After being pushed down on the chair by him, Karasawa looked at several photos that Toru Amuro pushed in front of him.

This is a group photo of a wedding scene. Judging from the old and faded state of the photo, it seems to be quite old.

In the center of the photo, there is a newlywed in a formal dress. The black-haired groom hugs the blond bride. The pure white suit and wedding dress reflect iridescent colors in the sun. The faces of the relatives and friends surrounding them are also full of blessings. Smile, a beautiful spring day.

Tang Ze recognized a few very familiar figures from the photos at a glance, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Fortunately, Akai Shuichi was still very young at that time. He was held in the arms of the Akai couple who came to Japan to attend the wedding. He was still in the state of a baby and had no distinctive features.

Otherwise, his eldest cousin had the same sultry bangs that he had grown up with, and Tohru Amuro shouldn't have this attitude now, so high and low that he put a gun to his head to force a confession.

——Speaking of which, Shuichi Akai’s spiral air bangs were actually done by him, instead of being born with them. I’m shocked.

The person who was leaning against the table and preparing to ask questions one by one put away the daily mask belonging to Toru Amuro and looked serious.

Well, he should be called Jianggu Ling now. The one who is talking is obviously an undercover police officer.

"Atsushi Miyano, Elena Miyano." Pointing to the newcomer in the center, Rei Fukiya moved his fingertips twice and pointed at the two people standing on the left and right sides, "Karasawa Ikawa, And, your mother, who was still called Sera Leona at that time."

"...It's amazing. I bet, except for people of my parents' generation, maybe our entire family has never seen this photo of you." Tangze looked at the young and handsome cat-eyed guy and the flowing blond hair under his fingers. Beautiful lady, I feel sincerely.

How about you join the organization as a bourbon, and the other fake wines are all in the action team? As expected of you, Jianggu Ling.

"Don't change the subject." Qu raised his finger and tapped Karasawa's head, and he clicked on the photo again, "When I was investigating before, I ignored your mother's and Elena Miyano's last names, and I didn't even find out. They are actually a pair of sisters."

Tang Ze looked at the subtle expression on his face and nodded heavily with deep understanding.

guess what? The unscrupulous original author thought so too.

"You have the nerve to nod. So, you and Shirley are basically cousins. Miyano Akemi, the so-called Hirota Masami who 'died by your hands', is also your sister." I found Karasawa doing that. In the early days, he had been playing tricks under his nose, and even asked him to help deal with the aftermath, and solved Professor Hirota's problem. Fangtani Rei felt his head throbbing.

This kid's clever ideas have reached a level that is completely unpredictable. It's unprecedented. He even sympathizes with Ireland who is chasing after Tangze trying to find something.

If they met every day and Tang Ze could hide him so easily from him who had often followed him in the early days, Ireland would be afraid that he would be betrayed by this liar and would have to count the money for him.

"They are cousins." Karasawa emphasized seriously, "I am a little older than Shiho."

"Don't change the subject." He crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows dangerously, "It seems that you lied to me a lot."

Karasawa heyed twice and raised his hands to show no harm: "Not a lot, just a little, a little. Shiho's identity is too sensitive, I can't take any risks with her. Except for her whereabouts, I didn't hide much else. Huh? I have handed over all the formulas she took out to you. I think she is no threat to you. "

After hearing what Karasawa said, Fangtani Rei leaned back and reluctantly accepted his statement.

Well, that's pretty honest.

No wonder Tang Ze and his wife’s experimental project obviously has nothing to do with drug research and development, yet Tang Ze can come up with many “antidotes” and “anti-drugs” for tissue medicine over and over again...

Even if Karasawa didn't originally possess this part of the information, with the information obtained from Group Zero, it was only a matter of time before Shirley, a researcher who was familiar with the organization's drug routes, processed it and produced relevant potions.

"This is not a matter of threats..." Thinking of this, Jiang Guling frowned, looked at Tang Ze's face, and breathed out, not knowing where to start.

Every journey has a starting point.

Although, after completing the training at the police academy and officially becoming a police officer, his thoughts changed again and again, and he gradually established his current unshakable personal beliefs, it is naturally impossible for Rei Fukutani to forget that he started to become a police officer. What.

The reason he chose such a path was simple: he wanted to find someone.

In his childhood, which was full of thorns, he felt a rare warmth.

Just like getting a light in the cold night, this warmth supported him to correct his mentality and did not take the extreme path because of the violence and cold treatment he experienced.

At first, he regarded his feelings as heartbeat, jokingly saying that this was his first love, but as time progressed, as he grew up, other noises disappeared, and his gratitude to Teacher Elena was indeed unsatisfactory. changing.

It was this small light that gave him the courage to warm others and continue to pass on this warmth, step by step shaping him into the person he is today.

What no one expected was that after he had established a new self-order, he would find traces of the lady who gave him this spark in his undercover organization.

Elena Miyano is actually a member of the organization.

This was the starting point for him to investigate the deeper power of the organization. As a result, he discovered the organization's scientific research layout, as well as their deep roots in ordinary society and grabbing nutrients.

The man has passed away, and now even if he wants to protect Teacher Elena's orphan, the space he can operate is too limited due to the constraints of his identity.

Unexpectedly, because of the death of Tang Ze and his wife, he came into contact with Tang Ze Zhao. Out of his own heart, he wanted to protect the child who was involved in the storm, but instead became the real rescuer of them.

Going around and around, that weak fire was finally carefully protected and finally illuminated others.

Teacher Elena, will you be happy for us?

"...Tell me about it." He softened his tone unconsciously, Fangtani Rei crossed his arms and did not continue to ask forcefully, "How much can you tell me about the situation, and what can I do."
