The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

[Fearless power, strong will, unfathomable power... This is a card with no doubts. Who doesn't know that the person standing in front of you is actually One Punch Man, who punches a load-bearing wall?

Although it is named after power, the meaning of this tarot card is to teach travelers how to tame and master the real power from the heart.

Unwavering, brave and fearless, not impulsive, but also not easily retreating, he has always been a restrained and brave strong man, and this may be more rare than the "world's number one warrior" itself. 】

[Learn the ability "Fearless Power" (I don't need to explain more)]

"... You are unexpectedly a very enthusiastic guy, Kyogoku." Tang Ze looked at him helplessly.

After making a lot of preparations in advance, he didn't expect that Kyogoku would show the tarot card without hesitation just because of a small misunderstanding... These people's overly enthusiastic and helpful qualities always make it easy for Tang Ze, who has taken many detours, to waste his efforts.

But he admitted that he liked this kind of surprise.

"Thank you anyway." Tang Ze accepted his kindness with a smile, "But not now. Mr. Adachi came here for a mission."

The implication is that if he is beaten now, it will affect his other duties, and it may implicate Tang Ze or Kyogoku Makoto himself.

Thinking more darkly, Adachi Toru may be very clear about this, so he acts particularly recklessly.

Kyogoku Makoto frowned, but still nodded: "Then you should be smart, don't be caught by him alone, no matter what he threatens you with, don't go to his appointment alone, it's easy to get into trouble."

Tang Ze's meaning is a euphemistic refusal, but he is not frustrated by it.

It sounds a bit incredible, but the fact is that Kyogoku Makoto knows a lot about bullying.

This is not to say that he has been bullied or bullied others, but that he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his martial arts value has always been outstanding, so it is inevitable that he will receive many requests or invitations.

The weak will seek his protection, and the bullies will try to win him over with favors to prevent him from becoming an obstacle to their actions.

In his eyes, the so-called bullying is nothing more than some despicable people. The way to self-identify and find value is to find a target weaker than oneself, pour out one's malice and exclusion, and use the suffering of others to build one's self-esteem.

Accepting his protection is certainly a way out. Insisting on finding a solution, he also respects the other party's choice and does not want to self-righteously belittle the courage of others to stand up.

Being able to withstand such a huge pressure, perhaps there is really the potential to stand up and smash the obstacles with one punch.

"Thank you for your concern." Tang Ze moved his five fingers, clenched his fists, felt the surging power, and sincerely thanked, "You have helped me a lot."

————

When Tang Ze happily took the force value rewarded by Kyogoku Laotie, Conan, who slipped back to the room, sat in the empty guest room, but was trembling with fear for a while.

It was not difficult to avoid tracking and hide his identity. What really frightened him was the amount of information he received from the conversation between the two people.

In the eyes of the organization, Tang Ze, the victim who survived by chance, was indeed still in their plan, and soon, the organization would have new actions.

In addition to the research on Tang Ze's parents, what deeper interests did Tang Ze have that made the organization spend so many resources on him and desperately squeeze out the last bit of his energy?

The conversation he overheard tonight may answer this question that he has always been puzzled about.

Tang Ze's case itself is an excellent embodiment of the organization's control over the police world.

They created an unjust case in front of so many people.

Not only him and Hattori, young detectives who trusted Tang Ze, but also people such as Maori Kogoro and members of the first investigation section, all kinds of people from all walks of life, are very clear about how much tricks there are in Tang Ze's case.

The process is illegal, the judgment is illegal, but not many tails can be caught, and all efforts can only be made to circle around the periphery of the incident. A fabricated crime will accompany the victim for life.

This is simply a blatant trampling of justice. Through Karasawa, they can in turn threaten the police that allows such loopholes to exist...

The organization kept Karasawa for this reason.

Adachi Toru is an example.

Even if he has been found out by Hattori as a black sheep, he can not only escape accountability but also move up a level by making up excuses and making some manipulations. This fact is the reason why Adachi Toru always maintains a sense of superiority over Karasawa.

Damn, knowing that this person came to Tokyo for another purpose, there is no reason to stop him from taking up his post smoothly...

No, maybe, there is still a way.

So, after Karasawa thanked Kyogoku Makoto and returned to his room, he saw the mini detective sitting in the quilt with a determined face, thinking about something.

"Conan?" Tang Ze, pretending not to know he was being followed, looked at the time and warned, "If you don't go to bed early, be careful that you won't grow taller."

Even if you took drug A, so your childhood state is almost shrunk to your current size, but don't forget that the core of your body is still the 17-year-old you.

If you stay up late all day and still worry so much, be careful that you will be shorter than me for the rest of your life...

"Tangze!" Conan called out happily when he saw his friend return safely, "Before, Adachi Toru said that he came to Izu to investigate the serial murder case, right? That is, the murderer we encountered yesterday."

"Hmm? From his tone, it should be." Tangze, who didn't understand what this guy was thinking, was stunned for a moment, but still nodded according to the setting.

This is also a stepping stone for Adachi Toru to take over as a consultant to the Metropolitan Police Department.

To Conan and others, he and Adachi Toru are the relationship of victim and perpetrator, but in the eyes of the organization, he came here to deal with the work assigned to him by Bourbon and to take over Adachi Toru's colleague.

"I know how to stop him from succeeding." Conan clenched his fist and said firmly, "As long as we can bring the real murderer to justice before him and prevent him from taking the credit, he will not be able to complete the police assessment and will not be able to go to Tokyo, right?"

After all, he is a policeman with a tainted resume. If his ability to do things is not outstanding, this appointment will be a failure!

Tang Ze looked at the innocent child with sympathy, thought about it, and did not break his fantasy, but nodded in agreement: "Maybe it is a way."

No way.

It is normal for Adachi Toru to appear here, and it is normal to have a bad relationship with him.

Theoretically, the information that Tang Ze Zhao has died is also a secret that requires authority for the organization to know. Adachi Toru does not know his true identity, and coming to him and returning to Tokyo with him are just the requirements given to Adachi by the organization.

This is the script that he checked with Amuro Toru before leaving. It is regarded as the introduction plot of Adachi Toru's vest. To put it bluntly, come to Izu for a walk, and then return to Tokyo. What happened will not affect this established process.

Let's not talk about the problem of hiding identity. Even if Adachi Toru really exists, the real purpose of coming here is to solve serial cases. Conan's plan will not work either.

As for the question of how to determine the credit, you can look at the investigation class.

How many cases they solved with the help of detectives, everyone knows it, but won't the Metropolitan Police Department still credit them for solving the case?

After all, detectives don't have KPIs in the police.

Being able to get a free detective, no matter how it's done, can be regarded as part of one's ability.

Personal connections are also a kind of resource.

However, for the time being, don't use this kind of dark side of the workplace to break the fantasy of children, and let the children who are fantasizing and not sleeping well to be disillusioned.

Conan, who felt that he had found an opportunity, was much more positive, so the next day, when Karasawa said that he wanted to invite Mr. Kyogoku from the hotel, and the other party was also preparing to go back to Tokyo together, Conan agreed immediately.

"Hey, why invite that gloomy man?" Suzuki Sonoko grabbed Karasawa and protested in a low voice, "Didn't Mr. Dokyo Masahiko also say that he could take us back to Tokyo? Three adults and one child, it's just right to take his car."

"Isn't this just right?" Karasawa shrugged, "In this way, you can also ride in the same car with Mr. Dokyo and cultivate your relationship."

"That's not what I meant..." Suzuki Sonoko pressed her forehead with a headache.

Well, she admitted that she had vaguely sensed Kyogoku Makoto's excessive attention to them, so she felt a little awkward about being intimate with Mikyou Masahiko in front of this person.

"Mr. Kyogoku is a good man." Tang Ze gave a good guy card, "He still makes people feel safe. Don't forget, there is still a murderer on the run who is always watching us, it's better to take him with you."

Suzuki Sonoko, who had witnessed Kyogoku Makoto's great power, was completely convinced.

So inexplicably, the itinerary became Tang Ze following Kyogoku Makoto's car, and the timid Suzuki Sonoko dragged Mao Lilan and Conan together, sitting in Mikyou Masahiko's car, and the two cars drove side by side to the restaurant on the top of the mountain.

"Wow, it looks really good." After getting out of the car, Mao Lilan held the railing on the side of the road, looked up at the restaurant built on the top of the mountain, next to the cliff facing the sea, and exclaimed, "It feels like the whole restaurant has a very open and bright view."

"Hmm..." Conan looked at the small building with a Western style, then walked through the railing and looked down at the white waves hitting the cliff below, but did not agree with her.

How to say it, when he saw this kind of terrain design, he had a subtle premonition that no matter how good the scenery was, he was a little uninterested.

He turned around, looked at the sparsely packed roadside parking lot, and casually said, "But it seems that there are not many customers here."

"Maybe it's the wrong time. It's still early for lunch." Mikyou Masahiko, who walked out of the driver's seat, smiled and replied, "Don't worry, the taste is really good, and it has a very good reputation locally."

"Mr. Mikyou knows Izu very well." Hearing him say this, Mao Lilan turned around and looked at him, curiously asking, "Are you a police officer here?"

"Not really, I've only been here twice this year." Mikyou Masahiko answered casually, his eyes always on Suzuki Sonoko in the back seat.

Suzuki Sonoko was holding a bottle of mineral water in her hand, but she didn't drink a sip. She looked energetic, which made him frown.

According to his prediction, the girl who had just been attacked yesterday was forced to stay in the original hotel. She should be very restless and have poor sleep. She only needs to drink a sip of the water she added sleeping pills to, and she should feel sleepy and fall asleep quickly.

Although his target was actually the luggage that several people had loaded on his car, or more precisely, the stack of photos in Suzuki Sonoko's bag, it would be a good thing if he could get rid of the brown-haired woman at the same time.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the black car parked in front of him with his peripheral vision and frowned slightly.

Unfortunately, I don't know what the man was thinking. He suddenly wanted to bring the violent man in the hotel to have dinner together, and he was not in his car at all.

According to the best case scenario, he originally hoped that Suzuki Sonoko and Tang Ze would fall asleep in the car, and then he would let the car slide down the hillside as planned, and both the people and the evidence would be buried in the fish's belly...

Maybe his action of going to the second floor to look for luggage yesterday was too reckless, which aroused their vigilance to some extent, but as expected, they suddenly became wary of him and proposed to call another person and leave in a separate car because Tang Ze saw a little bit of his appearance that night.

He said that the brown-haired guy was not a good person.

Women with brown hair are all fickle bitches, so how good can men with brown hair be?

Although it is impossible to hunt men specifically in the future, if you see a guy with brown hair, you can kill him together.

Dokyo Masahiko made a disgusted expression behind his back, and when he turned back, he still smiled like a gentleman and led a few people towards the restaurant.

Forget it, take it slow. There is still a long way to go back to Tokyo, so just solve it step by step.

"Bang——!"

Just when they walked to the side of the black car and politely waited for Karasawa and Kyogoku Makoto to pack up and follow, they saw Karasawa gently slam the car door, but Kyogoku Makoto's car door made a loud noise that could not bear the weight.

Conan instinctively looked at the closed car door.

Not sure if it was his illusion, he seemed to feel that there was a slight deformation in the position of the car door frame.

At this moment, even Kyogoku Makoto, who had originally focused on Suzuki Sonoko and Mikyou Masahiko, turned his head and stared blankly at Tangze, who looked a little embarrassed and at a loss. Mikyou Masahiko even stared at the black frame with one edge tilted up, with a stiff expression.

"Uh, I used too much force." Tangze smiled embarrassedly, pressed the slightly tilted frame, and forcibly bent the frame that was obviously tilted by him back to its original position.

Tangze didn't mean it. How should I put it? He finally got used to it for so long and was able to use his current body skillfully. Suddenly, Kyogoku Makoto's buff gave him a lot of strength, which made his original actions that he had adapted to often abruptly hit the penetration effect.

He had been controlling it all morning, and when he swung the car door, he forgot that he needed to be gentle. He swung the car door with the original force, and that was it. He didn't want to.

What is the ceiling? The meaning of the ceiling is that the buff is discounted, which can increase the physical damage to people several times...

Kyogoku Makoto stared blankly at the effect of Tang Ze's bare-handed sheet metal, and pressed his own car door.

He looked at Tang Ze's arms, which were a lot thinner than his own, although they also had some muscle lines, and looked at the frame that he had to press hard to press it a little bit, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

In other words, the explosive force of Tang Ze's closing the door just now was probably about the same as when he punched.

Does this guy really need his protection? Could it be that he had been holding back his anger last night and sat there no matter how provoked Adachi Toru, mainly because he was afraid that he would not be able to help but change his hands in anger and hit Adachi Toru into the wall with one palm, so that he couldn't get out even if he tried...
