The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

Chapter 697 Sincere Wishes

"What are you studying, kid?"

"Well, I'm looking at the numbers on my phone..." Conan, who was flipping through his address book, looked back and forth at the names and slowly raised his eyebrows.

If you replace all the katakana names on your mobile phone with English, combined with the previous Chinese characters, this list will look familiar...

Mouri Kogoro squinted at the back of his head for a while, instinctively covered his neck, and took a step back.

I always feel like this kid is going to start talking about it in the next second.

After Kudo Shinichi's return, Mao Lilan's attitude towards Conan has undergone some subtle changes.

Although he is not as smart as those detectives, Mouri Kogoro is not mentally retarded. He is just not as smart as those keen smart people. He seems to be a little stretched in the detective industry, which requires IQ in the high-end market.

First, he changed the kid's sleeping position, and then refused to take him to the bathroom or bathroom. Even at the crime scene, only Mouri Kogoro was still struggling to stop these illegal gangs. Elementary school students randomly investigated.

Maori Lan didn't say anything to him, but Maori Kogoro already had a vague hunch that the identity of this kid might be a big problem...

Thinking of this, he silently glanced at Toru Amuro.

Coincidentally, Toru Amuro was also looking at Kogoro Mori.

From the information learned from Karasawa, combined with the investigation results of Team Zero, there is no doubt that Edogawa Conan is the missing high school student detective Kudo Shinichi.

Knowing this, plus the time when Edogawa Conan appeared and the sleeping Kogoro Mori, it became clear at a glance that the idea of ​​solving the case in my dream was fishy.

I just don’t know, this confused detective can’t figure it out...

The two insiders who were more or less aware of Conan's identity looked at each other, and at the same time looked at the two ladies present who really had no idea.

Forget it, let's cover up for this child.

Toru Amuro cleared her throat and said before Conan started to cast spells: "Yes, there are no numbers starting with 1, so this string of numbers must have other meanings... huh?"

The melodious ringtone of the cell phone interrupted Toru Amuro's words. He raised his eyebrows, smiled apologetically at the people present, picked up the phone and went out.

"It's me, what's wrong?" After walking out of the cafe, he put away his smile and asked seriously.

Considering the complicated itinerary of his multiple identities, under normal circumstances, Yu Kazami would not call him directly unless there was a special situation.

A direct phone call meant that there was an urgent situation that required his attention.

"Well, although you said that the priority of the Phantom Thieves can be postponed appropriately, but..." Kazami Yuya looked at the screen in front of him, did some mental construction, and then said carefully, "Well, they just gave us the ones we are observing. Target, sent a notice..."

"ha?!"

————

"So, here is the reflection of the inner world of this guy named Beishou Zhouping?" Standing at the highest point of the jungle, looking down at the ground below, Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned.

When he was guessing about the palace that paid tribute to Zhou Ping, he didn't quite understand the concept of a palace, and he didn't expect that the desire after being embodied would be so ugly.

Just as his campaign slogan said, his palace is quiet and completely resembles a primeval forest. Combined with the city made of steel and concrete, it has a unique apocalyptic apocalyptic style.

And in this jungle, the tall trees have woven a huge curtain that blocks the sky and the sun, making the land below dark. The jungle without even a trace of insects reveals that it is not the original vitality of nature. But a chilling silence.

Sunlight and nutrients are robbed by these giant trees, and the lives living in the jungle are divided into three, six, and nine grades. Anything that makes noise, such as them, will only wake up the predators. instinct.

This is the National Assembly in Baishou Shuhei's mind. It is not difficult to imagine how this congressional candidate, who has a very friendly appearance, advocates justice, and the rule of law, defines power and career in his heart.

To a certain extent, he is much scarier than the materialistic Tonkou Shigehiko who is really colluding with the organization.

"That's what I mean. This is the full extent of our power." Following him, Miyano Akemi, who was responsible for guarding the companion who had not yet awakened the power, nodded. "We use this power to transform psychological correction into true The battle...doesn’t it sound a bit disappointing?”

Although according to Karasawa, psychological treatment through physical methods can also be called psychologists, the true face of the Phantom Thieves is to rely on special violent methods to carry out simple and crude personality modification, which does sound like it lacks a bit of mystery.

The public's expectations for them should be that they are more technical and handsome... although now they can't be said to be not handsome.

"That's not true. This is really an amazing power." Zhu Fu Jingguang looked down at the scene below and raised the corner of his mouth.

Being able to intuitively look into other people's hearts, gaze at cognitive images without hindrance, and understand a person's nature so accurately...

This is a place where there are no lies or deceptions, and direct means can be used to truly make the world a better place, and besides these idealistic ideas, this power represents even more.

If it is not used for good purposes, and if it is mixed with more complex interest entanglements and considerations belonging to human society, the destruction caused by this power will be even more difficult to summarize.

These children, including those who are no longer children, must have realized the unlimited potential of this power, so that after becoming one of them, they would hide their existence without regrets and become the guardians of this power. Be a member.

"Is this what the organization is looking for?" Zhufu Jingguang, who has lived in the organization for a long time and has actually seen how crazy they are in this regard, turned his head and looked deeply at Miyano Akemi.

Even if he didn't know it at first, after getting along with him for the past few days, he had roughly figured out the relationship between Karasawa and the Miyano family. The woman standing behind him at this time was the person who knew the most about cognitive science in the world. One of the individuals.

She must have understood what the organization wanted to do with Tang Ze's family, and judging from Tang Ze's current state, the organization's plan was not wrong.

It's just that the child Tangze used an incredible method to escape their control and even formed a counterattack against them. This was probably not what the organization expected.

"Don't you think it's interesting?" Miyano Akemi covered the lower half of her face with a fan and laughed softly, "The conspirator died of his own carefully planned conspiracy, and the villain paid the price for his oppression of others. Everyone is really happy.”

"...You're right." Zhufu Jingguang smiled, raised the sniper rifle in his hand, stared through the scope at the totem made of rough wooden blocks in the jungle to reward Zhou Ping, and ticked the He said, "I really can't wait to see the expressions on those guys' faces when they find out the truth."

Will those who have caused countless tragedies and caused suffering and pain to so many people also feel despair and pain?

If he could, he hoped that when everything happened, he could stand there and replace so many people who had closed their eyes and could no longer see this moment, looking down at their pain and giving them the most contemptuous ridicule.

With this in mind, he stared closely at Baishou Shuhei's face that looked particularly distorted because of the wood in the crosshairs, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"boom--"

————

"boom--"

"Ah, it's so noisy..." Covering his ears, Mouri Kogoro looked wordlessly at the pile driver outside the car that was constantly smashing into the ground. "Once the construction site starts here, it is really impossible to make calls. This What the guy said is pretty believable.”

"So, it turns out that the most problematic person is the man in sunglasses who made the phone call in the Colombo restaurant." Conan nodded firmly.

"But, you said that this guy got the transaction location wrong..." Mouri Kogoro twitched the corner of his mouth, "Really? It's simply unimaginable."

"People make a lot of mistakes and leave a lot of flaws. How can there be such a person who is perfect in everything he does?" Conan had a smile on his face, but his eyes kept drifting to Toru Amuro, who was lowering his head and pressing his cell phone.

Just now, after receiving a call from someone unknown, Toru Amuro, who had a positive attitude, seemed to be distracted by other trivial matters, and the number of times he spoke was significantly reduced.

Conan really wanted to find an opportunity to go over and see what he was busy with on his mobile phone, but after thinking about it, he resisted this impulse and decided to act cautiously.

Regarding Akechi Goro's boss and Karasawa's temporary guardian, Conan has always had complicated feelings about him.

As Karasawa's guardian, Toru Amuro is conscientious and enthusiastic. Ask yourself, if it were someone else who only worked in the cafe where he worked, but suddenly had to be responsible for the supervision of a transferred high school student and a sentenced juvenile delinquent, let alone taking care of him, he would be able to take over this hot job. It’s already not easy for Yam.

However, due to the suspicion surrounding Goro Akechi, which Conan cannot explain to others at the moment, the motives of this guy who is deeply bound to Akechi and has a relationship with Karasawa have become complicated and confusing.

It is known that Goro Akechi’s father is a politician who colluded with the organization. The relationship between Goro Akechi and Karasawa is probably not what Karasawa said. They were friends who met by chance when they were young and have been together for a long time. This man is said to have obtained an undergraduate degree at the age of 18. In the final analysis, the identity and background of the "high school detective" who returned from the United States cannot be tested.

Does Toru Amuro know this information? Or was it true that he came up with the idea of ​​becoming a detective after being introduced to Akechi by Karasawa?

But no matter what the situation is, Amuro Toru's dangerous aura that occasionally appears, holding a gun and actually being able to use a gun...

Does this person really have nothing to do with the organization?

If he is related to the organization, then his own situation, and even worse, Karasawa's situation...

Conan, whose thoughts were in turmoil, forced himself to look away, to prevent Tohru Amuro's suspicion from being stared at for a long time, and focused his attention on the current case again.

"Mr. Amuro's statement makes sense. Look, numbers starting with 1 do not exist, and there is no number between 1032-1101. It is most likely a date."

"Well, the names in the address book should not be personal names, but the abbreviations of some companies." Toru Amuro, who was still tapping his phone, heard his name, turned his head, and continued his previous analysis with a smile.

After identifying the man in sunglasses who made a call in another cafe among the three suspicious targets, they were sitting in Miyamoto Yumi's car, led by her and her colleagues, to the Colombo cafe to investigate This suspicious person.

... It is indeed a city with a strong detective culture. If you don’t check, you won’t know that there are so many cafes named after detectives in various novels. It is really embarrassing for the deceased who lost his mobile phone.

There is no good connection anywhere, so I have to go to a cafe named after the famous detective...

However, it is precisely because of this flaw that the mobile phone accidentally fell into the hands of Azusa Enomoto, leading them to the truth. This may be the secret blessing of the detectives who discover the truth and safeguard justice in the novels.

"I prefer the ones in the address book, maybe the ledgers of a certain person's transactions with many companies." After looking through the information on Beishou Zhouping sent by the zero group, Amuro Toru said with great certainty, "Maybe we will dig up a large amount of information. The case is over, Officer Miyamoto. Please speed up. It would be bad if the suspect senses something is wrong and escapes early."

Moreover, based on his prediction of the Phantom Thieves' work efficiency, if they don't catch this guy running errands for Baisho Shuhei within an hour, they will watch Baisho Shuhei crying on the TV and facing the spotlight with him. The camera's profound self-confession was broadcast live.

Thinking of Team Zero's efforts to round up and suppress this suspected man, who seemed to have used certain channels, and who might be able to find clues about the organization by following the clues, Toru Amuro almost shed tears of sympathy for the black circles under his men's eyes.

Thinking this, he instinctively raised his hand and first touched his eyelids, which were also a little swollen.

"You made such a big noise for me as soon as you joined them, you guy..."

————

"Well……"

"What's wrong, senior? Did you catch a cold after staying at high altitude for too long?"

"I'm not that fragile." Zhufu Jingguang declined the coat that Tang Ze handed over and rubbed his nose twice, "Maybe Zero is scolding me."

"Oh? What are you scolding?" Tang Ze, who was standing on the tree crown and swinging up and down with the wind, couldn't help but become a little interested.

After coming to the world of Kexue for so long, he has never witnessed the so-called telepathy... Oh, it's not completely absent. When Miyano Shiho turned into Haibara Ai, he had a vague premonition, but like other people, Fu Jingguang was so sure, he had never seen it before.

"Other than him, no one else would scold me." Zhu Fu Jingguang patted the sniper rifle loaded with special ammunition in his hand and answered rationally.

Now, the only person in the world who knows that he is still alive is Rei Fukiya, except for a few teammates of the Phantom Thieves who are busy around the bonfire below.

I don't think anyone would do anything to curse people to death.

After thinking for a moment, he realized that this sentence was a bit of a hell joke. Tang Ze laughed and said, "It makes sense. Could it be that our goal today has something to do with him? No way, when I left the cafe , I haven’t seen him have any special reaction to Baishou Shuping’s name?”

"He wears many hats and is very busy. Who knows where he interacted with." Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had a little understanding of Fa Xiao's current living situation, shook his head helplessly and dissatisfied with his short sleep time every day, and then He raised the gun in his hand and stared closely at the bonfire burning something unknown below.

In this jungle, the master of the palace, who is regarded as a religious totem, naturally also possesses symbols related to primitive religious beliefs. Even if he understands that this is not the real world, the scene below is more likely to be just a psychological reflection. Zhu Fujingguang I still don’t want to think about what the carbides hanging on the wooden shelves and the bright red graffiti on the rocks are.

He just felt that a vague dissatisfaction and anger was transforming into a more focused and dedicated force, making his hands holding the gun not tremble at all.

At this moment, that's what he should be aiming for.

"Has your 'preview' been delivered? If so, hurry up."

"Hey, I thought you would first find out about Mr. Zero's situation before considering whether to take action." Tangze, who was about to call Noah over and send an email to ask, turned around in surprise.

Even though he is staying with them now, Karasawa instinctively feels that Morofuku Kagemitsu's position should be more consistent with that of Furuya Rei, even though he is a member of the Phantom Thieves and may be more conservative on many issues. I tend to go to the lower valley zero side.

Instead of saying that Karasawa accepted him as a member of the Phantom Thieves, it is better that Karasawa temporarily regarded Zhufu Jingguang as the person in charge of external relations between the Phantom Thieves and the public security side, mainly Fangtani Rei, who was a bit stationed abroad. Ambassador means.

Even if he actually gave Zhu Fu Jingguang a second life, Tang Ze was not arrogant enough to think that just because of this, Zhu Fu Jingguang would completely fall to his side and ignore Jiang Guling's ideas.

Now their mission goals are suspected to be in conflict with Fangtani Rei's work. Although he doesn't think that Zhufu Jingguang will restrain his hands, Tang Ze thinks that he at least wants to communicate with Fangtani Rei and understand the situation before taking action.

"There's no need." Zhu Fu Jingguang narrowed his eyes, "Even if it has something to do with zero, it doesn't matter."

As he spoke, his crosshairs steadily found the center of the graffiti on the stone and pulled the trigger.

With an extremely angry roar that was clearly amplified by a loudspeaker, the entire jungle floor shook.

It was obvious that the true form of the master of the palace had been awakened by the gun and was roaring at the intruders.

Looking at the statue of the god rising from the ground, Zhu Fu Jingguang sent out a very sincere and spontaneous wish.

"Wouldn't it be good to deal with this guy directly so that he has nothing to do? He should go to bed early."
