The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"He just left without asking you a few more questions?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang waited until Ireland's back completely disappeared at the end of the road. After confirming that their conversation would not be heard by others, he could no longer hold back his laughter. He asked Tang Ze while chuckling.

"Why ask? Anyway, I made my attitude clear at the beginning. He wouldn't answer if he asked me, so he just shut up." Tang Ze shrugged, rubbed his hair twice, and completely got rid of the state of acting. "I guess he has prepared several scripts in his mind."

"You don't provide him with any help and resources?" Zhu Fu Jingguang felt quite novel when he saw Tang Ze's attitude of letting his tools run wild.

Although it was not obvious on his face, Zhu Fu Jingguang could vaguely feel that although Tang Ze was the youngest in the Phantom Thieves, he was often an overly concerned parent in nature. Tang Ze never hesitated to share his abilities and wealth with the members of the Phantom Thieves and friends who needed help.

Thinking back, even though he had just woken up and had not yet decided whether to join the Phantom Thieves, Tang Ze took the initiative to provide him with sufficient ammunition, equipment and supplies when he was about to go out.

When he later returned to the base and opened the piano case, he unexpectedly found hundreds of thousands of yen in cash in denominations...

Now Ireland has clearly joined Tang Ze's command. Even if he is unaware of the truth, he can be regarded as a subordinate to some extent. Tang Ze's almost indifferent attitude of not caring and letting things fend for themselves is quite rare.

"He can get by in the organization today, and he still has the ability to find a way to survive." Tang Ze retracted his gaze indifferently and walked towards the car. "He should deal with Kiharakawa first, and then come to talk to me about the treatment issue."

Although Kiharakawa is in collusion with the organization, he himself is just an ordinary doctor who is powerless.

If Ireland can't even handle such a role, then Tang Ze, the dead outsider, will not bother to save him.

What Tang Ze needs is a tool who knows the organization inside out and can help the place in terms of causing trouble, not a pig teammate who needs him to be distracted to take care of.

"What about my question, have you thought about how to fool it, um, how to explain it?" Seeing that Tang Ze seemed to have a plan in his mind, Zhu Fu Jingguang couldn't help but be curious.

As a Scotch whisky, Zhu Fu Jingguang died three years ago. His resurrection is an absolute secret and taboo. Not only the organization, but even if the Japanese public security knows about it, it will be a great event.

So not covering his face in front of Ireland and revealing that he is still alive must be something he discussed with Tang Ze.

"No need to explain to him, he can understand it however he wants." Tang Ze shrugged without much concern, "He might think that this is a sign that there is a bigger force behind Kumer. It's okay if he wants to think so."

Three years ago, although Xingchuan Hui, who was theoretically from the organization, was working in the organization at that time, he could not have known and intervened in Zhu Fu Jingguang's death at that time.

Tang Ze let him appear, and then connected with Miyano Shiho, who Ireland saw as soon as he opened his eyes, mainly to ensure that he could cause enough impact on Ireland's worldview, so that he would have a vague impression that "many people around Kumer were dead and traitors in the organization."

When he woke up and felt the rapid healing of his injuries, he would naturally gradually understand everything.

In fact, there was no black technology at all. Although Huiyuan Ai, who was still adding points to the pharmaceutical technology tree, did produce a lot of good recovery potions, the effect would not be so immediate. Most of them were taken to the subway by the kings of the group as consumables.

His injuries were caused by Noah and Tang Ze filling him with some blood recovery items after he was dragged to the cognitive world and then dragged back to Hard Milk.

It was also because of this that even though his HP bar was full, since the wound was formed in reality and the cognition was fixed, the open wound on the surface remained the same, which was why Ireland still felt the pain of the wound.

If Ireland believed that there was a deeper power behind them, he might have been more confident when he went out to cause trouble for the organization.

Zhu Fu Jingguang looked sideways, looked at Tang Ze's relaxed expression for a while, and silently retracted his gaze.

Considering the power that Tang Ze can mobilize, well, how can it not be considered a huge force?

After politely declining the gift sent by the youngest daughter of the Masuyama family, the two sat back in the car.

"Your brother is fine." Tang Ze said after sitting in the co-pilot seat.

"Huh?" Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't understand why he suddenly said this without a beginning or an end. His hand reaching for the steering wheel paused and looked at him in confusion.

"You hesitated several times, didn't you just want to ask this? Last night, when I went up, I specifically checked the police who were attacked by Ireland." Tang Ze, who took off his khaki jacket and put on his blue school uniform, looked like he was chatting casually, "The attack happened suddenly, but he was still sensible, and the police officers were not hurt."

Zhu Fu Gaoming was on guard against Adachi Toru, so he stood farther away from Ireland, so when he fell down, there were other people around him as a cushion, and there was not even a bruise on his body, so he was very safe.

"...I know." Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still thanked him sincerely, "Thank you for your concern."

At that time, Tang Ze, who was rushing upstairs to rescue Ireland, was still able to carefully check Zhu Fu Gaoming's injuries. He must have taken into account the relationship between everyone and paid extra attention.

He said that Tang Ze always likes to worry for no reason.

I should really discuss this with Zero and teach him a lesson. The leader is responsible for direction and planning, not for protecting all members and being everyone's parent...

————

After a thrilling night, it was not only Ireland who experienced a major turning point in life, but also Conan who witnessed half of the truth at the scene that could not calm down for a long time.

In his mind, he kept replaying the scene of Ireland being shot and falling to the ground, the scene of Akechi Goro walking through the darkness into the helicopter lights, and the scene of two people who, in order to protect him, a third party that should not exist, risked their lives in blood and fire to complete the scam in front of Gin...

How is Ireland? Is he dead?

What about his body? How did Akechi Goro deal with it? Why didn't the police find out about his existence?

What about Gin? Is there any news about the crashed helicopter being tracked? How did the organization mobilize such a powerful firepower of armed helicopters in Tokyo?

One question after another kept jumping in his mind. Conan, who had been taking notes on the case on the tower until late, had to ask for leave the next day.

He looked sleep deprived and bloodshot, so he was not suitable to scare kids at school.

"I understand your troubles, Kudo. We are the same kind of people. We will definitely be unwilling to get no answers to so many puzzles. However, I think your emotions fluctuated too much because of what happened last night." After listening to his description, Hattori Heiji did not follow his thoughts and answer, but proposed another direction, "Don't you think that at this time, you actually have other people to ask?"

"You mean...?"

"Your group of elusive phantom thief friends." Hattori Heiji pushed Toyama Kazuha, who came up to listen to who he was talking to on the phone, a little further away, "In the whole process of this case, they had no sense of existence, as if they didn't pay attention to or participate in the whole case. But you also know that this is absolutely impossible."

This serial murder case spanned multiple counties and was of a bad nature. The people involved were related to the organization, and it also involved Kiharakawa, a psychologist who had bad intentions towards Karasawa, and was completely within the scope of the Phantom Thieves' intervention.

However, they resolutely broke their high-profile style and kept silent throughout the whole process, only revealing the news that they had saved Shindou Sumire who was almost killed one step ahead of time at the end...

The detective with a keen sense of smell knew that at this time, what they didn't do was more important than what they did.

"Do you think there might be a chance to find that list?" After he said this, Conan came to his senses and got up from the sofa.

Yes, this is a good time to face the organization head-on.

Ireland is such a big target in Beika Town. Even if Ireland doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, the Phantom Thieves will not let go of the target that is delivered to the door. How can they really do nothing?

"You should talk to them now." Hattori Heiji turned around and leaned on the windowsill. "The problem of that person's complete disappearance is also questionable."

But this kind of thing has happened to the Phantom Thieves many times. Hattori Heiji, who has witnessed the specialness of Joker with his own eyes, inexplicably feels that since magicians can do this kind of problem of changing living people, the Phantom Thief of Heart may also be able to do it.

"A guy who claims to change the world won't miss such a romantic Tanabata night." Hattori Heiji teased.

Conan finally got out of his depressed mood and quickly hung up the phone. It seemed that he was going to ask what was going on. Hattori Heiji shook his head and walked back to his desk.

"Who were you talking to just now? What's "romance" and "Tanabata"..." Toyama Kazuha seized the opportunity and stepped to his desk. "Where did you go when you suddenly asked for leave yesterday? You haven't answered me yet!"

High school detectives skipped classes to investigate because of various emergencies, not only Toyama Kazuha, but even their teachers are used to it.

However, yesterday was a sensitive time after all, it was Tanabata Day...

Toyama Kazuha, whose plan for the fireworks display was ruined, thought sourly.

"Kudo, it's Kudo, who else could it be." Hattori Heiji rolled his eyelids, "Kudo is showing off to me that he and his girlfriend went to the Toudou Tower to spend an unforgettable Tanabata night."

"Oh..." Toyama Kazuha nodded, relaxed a little, and thought of Mao Li Ran, and couldn't help but be sour, "They progressed so fast?"

It has already developed to the point where they can go out together to watch the stars and lights on Tanabata... Xiaolan said last time that she and Kudo didn't have any movement. It turned out that she was just shy!

"Yeah, my heart is beating fast, dokidoki's Tanabata night..." Hattori Heiji said meaningfully.

Conan, whose heart was indeed beating all night, hurriedly changed his clothes and ran downstairs. He saw the sign of Polo Cafe, thought about it, and was about to kindly remind Tang Ze of what he posted yesterday, when he saw a familiar person walking out of the cafe.

Seeing his appearance clearly, Conan couldn't help but widen his eyes.

It's Mizutani Kousuke, why is he here?

"Thank you. If it weren't for your advice, I might have really done something stupid." Without noticing the shocked little kid, Mizutani Kosuke stood in front of the cafe and bowed sincerely to Tang Ze who sent him out, "Thank you for your help."

After successfully clearing the suspicion of murder and being released after the next interrogation and testimony process, Mizutani Kosuke also did not get a good rest last night.

He was uneasy after being aware of Tang Ze's identity. He couldn't let it go no matter what. Finally, he simply followed the address Tang Ze left him and found Polo Cafe.

Before he went to the door, he was even prepared that Tang Ze gave him a fake address and he might not be able to find him at all.

"You are really exaggerating, Mizutani-kun. Other people's persuasion is only auxiliary. If you don't want to leave and don't have the intention to break free, it's useless for others to talk." Tang Ze smiled at him gently, and also heard the implication of Mizutani Hirosuke's hesitation.

He was a thief who would not change his name and surname. He would not be suspicious or even have strange thoughts just because someone he helped discovered his identity.

A guy with a bad heart would not have the opportunity to get his help from the beginning. Tang Ze was confident in his vision of people.

"No, it's not just this matter." Mizutani Hirosuke stood up and looked deeply at Tang Ze's childish face.

When it was confirmed that Motokami Kazuki was indeed in an abnormal mental state and had a higher killing intent towards him than towards others, Mizutani Hirosuke vaguely guessed the reason why Tang Ze came to contact him.

That was not only a spiritual consolation, but also to protect his safety and prevent Motokami Kazuki from doing more irrational behavior when he lost control.

"Are you talking about introducing a job?" Tang Ze asked knowingly, "Then you shouldn't thank me even more. I just provided an interview opportunity. Getting the offer is the result of your hard work."

"... No, it means a lot to me." Mizutani Hirosuke shook his head seriously and bowed to Tang Ze again, "Thank you so much, Tang Ze."

After Tang Ze refused again and Mizutani Hirosuke finally left, Conan, who subconsciously hid behind the chair, came out in amazement.

"You introduced him to a job?" Conan pointed to Mizutani Hirosuke's back as he left, with a very strange look on his face.

Conan, who had known Tang Ze for a long time and thought he was most familiar with Tang Ze, finally felt a hint of subtlety at this time.

Hattori Heiji is right. In this case, the Phantom Thieves' presence is indeed too weak.

In contrast, Karasawa's presence is a bit too strong.

From the time Kogoro Mori received the commission to the end of the case, after careful counting, everyone has more or less a certain connection with Karasawa.

Karasawa and Takagi Wataru asked for the case file, and Adachi Toru himself is highly related to Karasawa;

Leaving aside the investigation process, when the suspected suspect appeared in Beika Town, it was Karasawa who happened to appear at the scene of the arrest and saved the suspect's girlfriend;

Akechi Goro, who provided the organization with key intelligence, was provided to him by Karasawa on his own initiative. Now, one of the suspects most closely related to the case has actually been in contact with Karasawa for a long time...

This sense of presence throughout the whole process seems to be no longer summarized by a simple accident constitution.

"Yes, you know the job. It's Sonoko's foundation." Facing Conan's flickering surprised gaze, Tang Ze explained calmly, "Mizutani Kosuke and I met on the message board related to fire victims. He is a kind person who can empathize with the situation of others. I think he can definitely do the volunteer work. If he hadn't come to me today, I wouldn't have known that he was actually related to the case you are investigating."

While answering like this, Tang Ze felt relieved in his heart.

Finally, Conan had some subtle doubts about his identity. It's not easy.

It's not easy for him, it's not easy for Conan.

Because Tang Ze's timing of appearance was too good, his background was too perfect, and he had the support of many red people, in Conan's view, his identity was already the highest in the field. Now, it has developed to a situation where Tang Ze wants to actively hint at something, Conan will only think about other directions.

In this situation, if Tang Ze really wanted to take off his vest and say, "I'm going to show my cards, I won't pretend anymore, I still have a lot of skin," it would be a bit embarrassing.

If possible, he still hopes that the vest can land softly, not too hard, and end up in the current situation between him and Amuro Toru.

It's really tiring to have to find several mouthpieces to say a word.

While complaining in his heart, Tang Ze still turned his eyes and glanced at Zhu Fu Jingguang who was sitting at the bar and handing over the memory card with Amuro Toru, cleared his throat, and retracted his attention.

Having said that, it is still impossible for him to take the initiative to bow his head and admit that he was embarrassed!

"Is that so..." Conan nodded thoughtfully and looked at Tang Ze's bag carefully.

There, next to the rag doll hanging on the bag, there was a pendant that was decorated with the Big Dipper and the North Star. The design was very delicate and familiar to him.

Hmm, the end of cognitive psychology... the power of making your wishes come true...

————

"'Cognitive psychology researcher', 'senior expert in psychology'?" Ireland flipped through the business card in his hand, carefully read the two lines of titles on it, and sneered, "You really know how to flatter yourself."

He turned his head and looked at Muharakawa, who was tied up and terrified in a chair, grinned, grabbed a pair of scissors roughly, and cut off a large lock of his curly and fluffy black hair.

Looking at the completely different color roots under the broken hair, Ireland snorted again.

"You are a self-deceiving guy."
