The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"You haven't given up yet? I don't think either Miyano Shiho or Karasawa Akira is likely to accept the witness protection plan." Not surprised by James' request, Judy secretly sighed.

"They may be unwilling, but Judy, you also understand that what they have in their hands is of great significance. We will not give up our efforts in this area." James nodded and expressed his views clearly.

Judy lowered her head to prevent the burning light in her eyes from being noticed by the people in front of her.

It was because they knew so well the significance of those powers that they insisted on keeping Karasawa's identity secret and Haibara Ai's research status secret from the headquarters.

There are so many major research projects in the organization, whether it is Noah's Ark, a super artificial intelligence, or the APTX series of drugs that rejuvenate the youth and keep the appearance forever. The specific effects are temporarily unclear, but the derived drugs alone have caused a worldwide stir. The cognitive mysteries of stormy seas...

It is a precious treasure that can make anyone lose their mind. If it is known by other organizations, it may not be any safer than being controlled by the organization.

By then, Tang Ze's multiple identities will easily become a hindrance to him.

As an undercover agent, he is bound to participate in many illegal activities, but he is only 18 years old and has no background. He works on the front line completely relying on his own courage.

At that time, if his illegal behavior is really taken into account, even Calvados, who fell at his gunpoint two days ago, will become the basis for his conviction.

Even if she knew that James was actually a more trustworthy colleague, the possibility of colluding with the organization was extremely low.

——After all, James knows so well the whereabouts of Shuichi Akai, Akira Karasawa and Shiho Miyano. If he betrayed them, something would have happened to these people long ago.

She was still worried about telling the other party directly the news related to these people.

"It's because it means so much, James. I was able to successfully participate in witness protection because I was too young and the organization basically didn't pay attention to me. But they are different." Looking up, Judy answered sincerely, "Do we have the confidence to protect them both now?"

"They have doubts about this?" James, who understood her hint, gave full play to his boss's basic skills and quickly received the information.

Judy's words meant that they had tried hard, but it really didn't work, and they were questioned in turn.

"Well, after all, Xiu's exposure is indeed our responsibility." Thinking of Karasawa's ruthless complaints, Judy smiled awkwardly but politely.

How should I put it? Although it is almost inevitable to think about Shuichi Akai's exposure now, the problem of Kamel's high blood pressure operation including the poor skills of the guy who made the materials is also real...

James, who also thought of this, said: "..."

It makes sense. Considering the FBI's current record, it's hard to refute...

"We understand the significance of those studies very well. They themselves will only know it better than us." Judy's eyebrows were a little solemn. "Rather than leaving this question to them, it is better to ask it yourself first."

"Can our power really protect them, allow them to live without worries and continue research? Those powers are so incredible. It is not that simple to have a miracle."

————

On the other side of the city, a miracle is happening.

It's just that the speed of arrival is a little unsatisfactory.

"The speed of hatching is a bit slow." He simply brought the chair to the table where the eggs were placed, and Asai said after careful observation.

It had been half an hour since they came in, so it seemed like it was only a few centimeters more cracked than before.

The eggshell looks so fragile that it makes you want to just smash it open.

"There has been no movement for ten days and a half. This progress is pretty good, okay." Haibara Ai, who yawned, once again refused the coffee handed over by Tang Ze and stood firmly in front of the experimental table, holding the pedal in hand.

The materials that Conan had worked so hard to obtain from Belmod had just been handed over to her by the doctor, and the basic tests had not yet been completed.

Although Conan was quite rude when he gave her the needle, the material left to her was enough to allow her to carry out many projects. Considering that next time she would be so close to the unsuspecting Belmod, she still cherished it when using it.

The bored Xingchuan Hui made several protests: "We have worked hard for so long, shouldn't we have some privileges, such as standing in front of the egg and shouting "open sesame"..."

"Otherwise, do I need to get you some spells to recite? It's so ritualistic. I'll write a few sentences for you?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows.

When she heard the word "spell", Miyano Akemi suddenly felt her fists itching and raised her hand threateningly.

"You guys, please stop standing around looking at the egg. What if it hatches out naked..." Shimabukuro Kimie held her cheek and imagined for a while that a naked man would suddenly pop out in front of everyone, and her expression couldn't help but change. eccentric.

There are already a lot of strange misunderstandings among the Phantom Thieves, so it's better not to let the new friends they worked so hard to hatch have strange misunderstandings about them.

"If he is naked, he must be the one who is embarrassed." Tang Ze corrected, "The more people there are, the more embarrassed he will be."

"Well, that makes sense..."

"Stop listening to his nonsense, Jun Hui!"

In the unprecedented lively atmosphere of the laboratory, the egg placed in the center shook slightly amidst the subtle cracking sounds.

————

First there was a blush, a warm temperature enveloped his whole body, and a soothing, sweet dream smell surrounded him.

It was like returning to the embryo, soaking in the warm amniotic fluid.

He curled up, breathing softly in a safe and comfortable state.

Blue, overwhelming blue swept across the sky.

The temperature quickly subsided, and the coldness of night hit him. He seemed to be grasped from somewhere deep, and he was rising rapidly in an uneasy feeling of weightlessness.

Finally, there was a blur of bright colors, a full moon, slowly coming into focus in his eyes.

It took a few seconds for Zhu Fu Jingguang to identify what it was.

It was a lamp that was too bright, so bright that it illuminated the surrounding area without any shadow.

Operating room, shadowless lamp?

After a moment of daze, Zhu Fu Jingguang blinked his eyes, raised his hand, and made a movement to block the light.

It was too dazzling, like looking directly into the scorching sun, and the excessively bright light left burning marks on the retina.

His consciousness gradually returned, and the sounds around him reached his ears.

"There's some movement."

"Consciousness seems to be returning."

"It reacts obviously to light. Where is the sensor? Do I need to check it?"

"Hey, this is a biological laboratory, not a hospital laboratory... Forget it, I'm going to find a lancet."

"Shiho, do you need to adjust the lab temperature?"

"Tangze..."

Hearing the last name, Zhu Fu Jingguang, whose consciousness was still in a state of confusion, suddenly came back to his senses.

Holding on to the metal table like an operating table under him, Zhu Fu Jingguang slowly sat up and looked around with a calm expression.

Listening to their conversation just now, it seems that they don't know much about the situation after they wake up.

In this case, there is an opportunity to evaluate the situation and take action...

As soon as he sat up, Zhu Fu Jingguang noticed his own attire first before the others around him.

Seeing his appearance clearly, his pupils shrank suddenly.

A mass of blood exploded on his shirt, centered on the pocket on his chest.

In the center of the dried blood, clothing was torn and what should have been a target was missing.

The rooftop, the cold wind from high up, the rapid heartbeat...

The cold barrel of the revolver tightly held in the hand, the footsteps getting closer and closer...

The scene flashed back in his mind. Zhu Fu Jingguang silently covered the hole in his shirt. When he raised his head again, his eyes had become calm and sharp again.

Combined with the title he just heard, an unsettling conclusion emerged in his mind.

Tightening the muscles on his body without any trace, Zhu Fu Jingguang observed the laboratory.

He is a member of the action team and has almost never entered the organization's laboratory. It is impossible to determine which laboratory this is based on observation alone.

But at a glance, he saw several faces that made his heart tremble.

A woman with long hair shawl and no mask on her face. That was Miyano Akemi, whom he had met in the organization before.

Although her status is not outstanding and she has no extraordinary abilities, she has a certain sense of presence in the organization due to her family background.

Because she is the sister of a genius girl who is about to return to the organizational research institution after completing her studies and has high hopes for her.

Thinking this, his eyes fell on the other side. His figure was obscured by several tall instruments, and he could only see the back of the brown-haired man standing in front of the stage.

Miyano Shiho.

Her parents died shortly after she was born, and she was raised by the organization alone.

Although her parents are not so much members of the organization as they are one of its most tragic victims, the scientists who grew up in the organization since childhood and have been trained by the organization's capital and power have long since become the organization's overshadowing The shadow component is gone.

And then...Karasawa Ikawa...

The smiling man with his hands on the edge of the table had a pair of cat eyes that were very similar to his. However, Zhu Fu Jingguang had seen what kind of crazy face was hidden under that gentle smile.

The pathetic man who has never been fully trusted by the organization, even if he uses his own identity to walk in the academic world, every time he participates in an academic conference or lecture, there will always be more than one scope framing his face, ready to speak out against him at any time. Tissue's contents pulled the trigger, ending his life.

Zhufu Jingguang has also been responsible for related tasks, and has seen with his own eyes how vicious and mean Tang Zeyichuan can be when he gets into arguments with others.

Listening to the remarks he often made, it can only be said that researchers who would become the prey of the organization are indeed unreasonable madmen.

Seeing these faces that represented the highest academic standards of the organization, Zhu Fu Jingguang had a clear understanding of his current situation.

It seems that the exposed undercover agent was really used to squeeze out the last bit of usable value and became a guinea pig in the laboratory?

To be able to restore a self that was directly shot in the heart to what it is now, how terrifyingly has the organization's medical level developed?

At the last moment when consciousness disappeared, Zhu Fu Jingguang clearly felt the severe pain of his heart bursting. The hand on his chest couldn't help but twitch nervously twice.

Could it be that they found a living heart from somewhere...

No, not really. It makes no sense to waste such important medical resources on an exposed traitor.

Was his phone successfully destroyed? What data did they read from it? Did they determine his true identity?

So, zero...

The Phantom Thieves, who all calmed down and stared at the fruits of their hard overtime work, saw that he remained silent and exchanged glances silently.

Tangze, who was very familiar with the logic of undercover behavior, only glanced at his tensed arms and back, and then glanced around the laboratory where the organization paid for the professional equipment. Huihara Ai, who was struggling to adjust the instrument values ​​on the bench, quickly figured out Zhu Fu Jingguang's brain circuit.

Don't tell me, don't tell me, there are quite a lot of tissue-related things in this laboratory!

Now this undercover man, who did not hesitate to commit suicide in order to protect his companions and family after his identity was exposed, is probably thinking about how he survived and what kind of human experiments the organization is using on him.

In this way, the opportunity is rare...

Turning to look at Miyano Akemi, whose face was exposed like his because she was drinking coffee, Karasawa winked.

He seems to have misunderstood something. Do you want to play?

It was because he was so excited that he didn't react for a while. Once he reacted, he would have nothing to play with. There was no such store in this village!

Although she didn't understand what Karasawa's eyes were implying, Miyano Akemi could easily sense from his beaming expression that he was planning to cause mischief.

She couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

When they resurrected people, they did not ask for their consent. It is estimated that the gentleman who suddenly came back from the dead was still in the chaos of being dead but miraculously waking up.

Instead of appeasing people's emotions, they want to take advantage of the other person's failure to react and play tricks on them...

You kid, are you really not seeking personal revenge for being too busy some time ago?

Tangze stood up straight and patted the white coat on his body.

Probably because of the strict dress code when he entered the laboratory this time, Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't catch a glimpse of the blue Emperor Dan school uniform he was wearing.

According to Miyano Akemi and Haibara Ai, his current height is almost the same as his father, Karasawa Ichikawa. If his hair were replaced with black curly hair, he would not be a very familiar person. At first glance, he would not be able to recognize who is who. .

Considering that Zhu Fu Jingguang relied on his decisiveness to destroy the jade and stone together, and did not even let the organization investigate his real name, then it seems that all he needs is...

Lowering his voice, Tangze imitated his father's voice in his memory, and said in a gentle tone with a strange rhythm: "You're awake, Mr. Zhufu. How does it feel to see the world again?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang's hand that was pressing on the experimental table tightened suddenly.

Is his identity really...

"Huh? Is there a language barrier? Or can't you remember who you are?" Tang Ze tilted his head and asked knowingly, "I'm afraid it's too late to pretend to have amnesia now, this public security policeman."

Pressing his fingertips on the hard surface, Zhu Fu Jingguang's face tensed.

His tone was very firm, without any hint of temptation.

Could it be that my identity has really changed...

"Shiho, come here and check him out. Since you are entrusted by someone, if you can't rescue him properly, Mr. Fangtani will probably complain." Karasawa turned his head and increased his efforts without hesitation.

Miyano Akemi squinted at Karasawa's fluffy head in front of her. She felt her hands itching and wanted to raise her hands and slap him.

This kid Tang Ze was really full of bad intentions. She wondered if her uncle might have been a little smoother before, so he wasn't so evil-minded.

There is nothing wrong with these sentences in terms of content.

Already through the palace, he had learned about the contemporaneous police officers who had died in their respective posts, including Fangtani Rei. In addition to the various information that needed to be collected when resurrected, Karasawa had a good understanding of Zhu Fu Jingguang.

As for Fangtani Rei, as his current partner in several identities, Karasawa knew that his real name couldn't be more common.

However, in the ears of Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was confused about the situation, these words were absolutely terrifying, and Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned.

"coming."

At this time, Hui Yuan Ai, who had finally finished adjusting the parameters, breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head.

Then, under Zhu Fu Jingguang's shocked gaze, he stepped down the step stool step by step and walked to the experimental table.

"Really, help me reinstall the panel next time. It's really inconvenient to adjust it in this position... Well, what's wrong with you guys?" When he looked up, he received Zhu Fu Jingguang's shocked gaze, Hui Yuarai blinked in confusion.

He didn't speak any more.

He saw seven-year-old Miyano Shiho and Morofuku Kagemitsu, who finally realized that Karasawa's face seemed a bit too young: "?!"

Have their research progressed to this extent? Are the people in the organization completely crazy?

————

"Mr. Fangtani, Mr. Fangtani?"

"Huh?" Fang Gu Ling released his hand from pinching the bridge of his nose, frowned and raised his head.

What he saw face to face was Yuya Kazami's cautious face.

"Are you not feeling well? If your condition is very bad, then today's meeting will start here..." Kazami Yuya looked at the enlarged photo on the projector in front and said carefully.

In the photo, a man carrying a sniper and a shotgun in one hand is walking alone on the road to the dock.

His stern face was even more clear-cut under the reflection of the moonlight. Even though it was a screenshot from a surveillance camera, the dangerous temperament still struck him.

This is one of the guys Mr. Furitani once feared the most, but is now identified as an FBI agent and is still one of the number one targets, Shuichi Akai.

I'm afraid Mr. Fukitani saw his face and thought of something bad...

"I'm fine." Rei Fukiya shook his head, "Go on. The child kidnapping case occurred at the pier the day before yesterday, and the injured person was identified as FBI agent Judy Stelling..."

It's strange. He had a good rest yesterday, and not many unpleasant things happened recently. What's going on with this uneasy feeling between his brows?
