The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

Chapter 859 Tang Ze: I want to take this image of despair...

"So many things have happened in these years."

Walking out of the dim screening room of the cinema and standing on the sunny street, Hagiwara Kenji sighed in a daze.

"Although I know it was a bit tricky that the two of you disappeared without a trace as soon as you graduated. It's really impressive that it was able to create such a big scene."

His eyebrows and eyes, which were always smiling when he spoke, were also curved gently, but Matsuda Jinpei accurately captured a hint of disappointment in his voice.

He died too early in the past, and when he woke up in the blink of an eye, he not only missed the career development he should have had, but also missed the tragic ending of his like-minded friends.

This death was light and did not bring a strong sense of fear to me, but it has become a nightmare that has haunted my relatives and friends for seven years. It has been so long that the pain has faded, and it has been so long that his death is still the most vivid memory. The new Matsuda Jinpei himself also died on the way to find justice for him...

This kind of loss is not strong, and it is not to the point where it makes him heartbroken, but a little bit of what everyone has felt over the years, he still can't let it go.

Like an old scar that has healed but left behind sequelae, this is by no means the impression Hagihara Kenji wanted to leave on others.

Matsuda Jinpei thought for a while, then raised his hand and knocked the other person's shoulder hard, forcibly breaking his depressed state: "It is better for you to talk about this kind of vicissitudes of life in front of him."

Hagiwara Kenji was stunned. Following the direction of Matsuda Jinpei's finger, he saw Toru Amuro standing at the bar of Polo Cafe, busy taking orders for customers.

The cafe was at its peak time at noon. In order not to disturb the work of the cafe, Karasawa went to eat at Mori's house upstairs. At this time, Toru Amuro certainly couldn't find the energy to pay attention to the few people who suddenly appeared on the street. A young man dressed like an ordinary office worker.

Hagiwara Kenji passed through the floor-to-ceiling window behind the flower bed and saw the sweet and gentle business smile on Toru Amuro's face. He couldn't help but tilted his head back: "Oh my god, Xiao Furuya... I really want to Take a photo of this scene and take it back to the police academy for him to take a look at.”

"I was also shocked when I met him in the organization." Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled sympathetically, as if recalling something, "I didn't expect that he could show such an expression. . The police training took good note of his strengths.”

His tone was very gentle, but the content sounded very unfriendly. He was saying that the public security training took advantage of Furitani Rei's outstanding and easy-to-remember handsome appearance, and taught him some influence through speaking out. With his skills in police image, Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji couldn't help but glance at him.

"I didn't expect that this would happen to you when different departments set up the same position and ended up being different from each other." Hagihara Kenji said with difficulty.

Matsuda Jinpei coughed and swallowed down the laughter he almost couldn't hold back.

His words were also a little bit weird. On the surface, he was making fun of Zhu Fu Jingguang's mocking of the police's training model, but in fact, he was complaining about such a bloody thing as the two undercovers meeting in the organization.

"Okay, we are not police officers now, so it is not appropriate to gossip about police officers." After clearing his throat, Matsuda Jinpei also answered.

The other two people's eyes all turned to Matsuda Jinpei. This is another sentence that on the surface refers to Jiang Guling, but in fact it is a complaint about the police system, and the burden has completely disappeared.

"What's wrong? I thought this was a solitaire that required puns." Matsuda Jinpei looked back seriously, "Are you guys going in or not?"

The three people, who had been joking for quite a while while I couldn't hear them, straightened up their appearance. They waited until the first group of customers who had finished lunch in the cafe walked out one after another, then walked through the cafe door and walked in.

"Welcome--" Toru Amuro, who heard the sound of the wind chime at the door, quickly placed the coffee on the guest's table. When he looked up, he saw three guys covering their faces.

He has met the two on the left and right more than once. As the bridge for coordinating the organizational intelligence of the Phantom Thieves, they have been in and out of Team Zero more frequently in the past month than the boss himself. He can tell almost at a glance. their identity.

This made the young man standing in the middle wearing a mask and covering half of his face with sunglasses look both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.

Toru Amuro, who is now 29 years old, but looks no older than his 22-year-old self, looks at this young face who is always stuck in 7 years and is just entering society for the first time. For a moment, he almost forgets where he is standing now. place.

Feeling this intense gaze, Hagiwara Kenji raised his hand, wanting to say hello to this friend who he thought had not been separated for a long time, but in fact had been separated for many years. When the words came to his lips, he turned into one sentence: “It’s my first time here, do you have any menu recommendations, this guy?”

"...Of course." Toru Amuro, who only took a second to quickly collect his emotions, stood up, his face returned to a gentle and reserved smile, "Here, please. I have some personal recommendations, you can try it. ”

————

"It's really unfair. We both received such a grand 'welcome' when we came back. Why was your reaction so dull when Hagi came back." Matsuda Jinpei tapped his fingers on the table, "Whenever I think about how this guy is I left, and I still can’t help but feel a little angry.”

Hearing Fa Xiao express his feelings so frankly, Hagiwara Kenji temporarily put away his emotions about the sudden change of face of Rei Fukiya, and looked towards the nonchalant Matsuda Jinpei.

At that time, they had just joined the police force, and it was when Matsuda Jinpei was most enthusiastic and high-spirited about his work.

He finished the work at hand heartily, thinking that this would be a safe day, but in the end he did not wait for his friend to come out of the Metropolitan Police Department after get off work with him.

The impact on Matsuda Jinpei, who was completely unprepared for this, was undoubtedly huge. It was so huge that it spanned such a long time. Seeing the smiling Hagiwara Kenji who seemed to be unaware of this, he still couldn't restrain his emotions.

"I can't help it, it's really been too long. I was still very angry in the first two years, but now I can't arouse my emotions." Toru Amuro lowered his eyes, his smile did not change, but his tone was cold, "I am the only one who is honest. It’s been seven years, I’m really sorry.”

At this moment, even Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was quietly sipping his coffee, choked.

Among them, except Rei Fukiya, only squad leader Datehang had experienced the complete emotional changes of losing friends due to the recent death. Rei Fukiya used this to attack them, and they were embarrassed to say anything in reply.

"And I really didn't expect it." After Qianqian gave them a critical blow, Toru Amuro put away his sinister tone and repeated, "I can't help it, it's really been too long."

His voice was very soft, with a touch of loneliness in the somewhat empty cafe where the crowd had left.

If the appearance of Morofuku Kagemitsu was just an isolated case, when Karasawa explicitly hinted at the case surrounding Matsuda Jinpei and made additional demands for new false identities, he had already vaguely guessed what would happen next. What.

To say that after discovering this, he had no expectations for more surprises and surprises would be to deceive himself.

But as he said, Hagiwara Kenji has been gone for too long, and his figure is about to become old and yellow in his memory. The only memory left to him is that he was so shocked when he heard the news that he almost collapsed. , and the dim sky with overcast clouds that afternoon.

This kind of miracle happened to Jing and Matsuda. It is definitely not the same concept as traveling across such a long span and bringing back the almost faded silhouette from the distant time and space.

Rei Fukutani was looking forward to this, but Toru Amuro looked at Karasawa's too young face and found it difficult to ask such an almost rude question.

This child has brought him enough surprises, and there has already been a heavy pressure on his shoulders that is seriously inconsistent with his youth. If he opens his mouth again and asks the other party whether he will include all his friends who have been dead for seven years. To bring this kind of words back is simply to push for an extra mile and to be greedy.

But now, this problem is no longer an issue.

"I should really thank you." Hagiwara Kenji said seriously, "I didn't expect that you would remember me so clearly. It is said that people die three times, and I didn't expect that you would moan like this for no reason. Literary expression can actually become reality.”

He died at the hands of criminals, but he survived not only because of the magical powers of the Phantom Thieves, but also because of Rei Fukiya himself, who had never forgotten him.

If Rei Fukitani didn't have such profound memories of the time spent together in the police academy, he wouldn't have such deep pain for their friends who died in the past.

No matter what kind of magical existence Tangze is, as he said himself, he is just a wishing machine. No one dreams this dream religiously, and he cannot create something out of nothing.

Amuro Toru was silent for two seconds, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly unnoticeably.

"They were a little too quiet this time, I thought..."

There were examples of Mitsuru Morofushi and Jinpei Matsuda. He instinctively felt that if Kenji Hagiwara was unreasonably rescued by Karasawa, the other party would most likely repeat this process. For example, he would have come out of the shadows after contact. , Hagiwara Chisatsu, who lives a relatively free and easy life, and then adjust Hagiwara Kenji's records in the police academy and joining the police in less than a year, and even go to the hospital to find Motohashi Yoji who lost half of his skin in a bomb. …

Tangze didn't give any warning this time, so he began to think that the miracle seemed to be coming to an end, and that two people were the limit of what was possible...

"No need to bother." Matsuda Jinpei stuffed the last sandwich on the plate into his mouth and answered vaguely, "The person who has spent the longest time with him in the world is back."

The two of them are so familiar. They have been inseparable for more than 20 years of study and work. They stay from school to school and from work to get off work every day. It is no exaggeration to say that the time they have spent together is really longer than the other. There are more parents and relatives.

Regarding Hagiwara Kenji’s question, ask him directly. Any files and records will be useful.

"What about you, what are you going to do next?" Toru Amuro looked at Kenji Hagihara who had taken off his mask and was eating something. "Do you need a new identity, or do you have other plans? Also, monitor..."

Now that things have happened, he can finally ask this question.

Miracles have come three times. Now, can he have unrealistic expectations?

"You should ask him this kind of question." Matsuda Jinpei swallowed what was in his mouth and turned to look at the door where the wind chimes rang again.

"I'm back--"

As soon as Tang Ze opened the door, he saw four pairs of eyes in front of the bar looking at him in unison. He couldn't help but raise his hand and instinctively tidied his appearance.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't do anything today."

Amuro Toru, who had just said that he couldn't get angry anymore, felt like hitting him again when he saw the innocent expression on his face.

"How dare you say that." He glanced at Hagiwara Kenji's 22-year-old face, then put down his clenched fist again and said unhappily, "This time you really didn't even say hello. Even if it's a surprise, it's completely unnecessary to come three times, right?!"

Hagiwara Kenji naturally couldn't predict his return. Although Matsuda Jinpei and Morobushi Kagemitsu were assisting people, they might not understand how this mechanism works.

But Tang Ze was different. If he said that he had no idea about who would come back and when, Amuro Toru would never believe it, okay?

Aha, Amuro Toru finally asked.

Tang Ze raised his eyebrows, feeling inexplicably proud, and felt that he had won back a game again.

"Isn't it because you haven't asked all the time?" Tang Ze spread his hands, "Let me take the initiative to speak, it seems like I'm here to take credit, it's not appropriate."

Yes, although both Morobushi Kagemitsu and Matsuda Jinpei are living examples, but on the issue of the resurrection match, the two of them are still competing to see who can hold their breath longer.

One feels that taking the initiative to ask is like moral kidnapping, and the other feels that taking the initiative to ask is like asking for a favor, so on such an important issue concerning other people's lives, they once again maintained a silent competition, and the communication remained at the level of eye contact.

"How childish." Matsuda Jinpei commented sharply, "I don't know whether to say that you two have a tacit understanding, or that you have no tacit understanding at all."

Tang Ze turned his head and looked at the three of them, and said in a subtle tone: "Are you sure? But if I explain it well, then, those videos of yours..."

If he really explains it from the beginning and tells the other party about the possible progress of Date Kou, then those videos of them breaking out of the shell can't be concealed...

Tang Ze pretended to take out his mobile phone and spread those desperate images. Amuro Toru was still at a loss, and the other three people could not sit still.

Knowing that you came out of an egg, seeing how you came out of an egg, and being seen by others how you came out of an egg are completely different concepts from showing surveillance videos to others, okay? !

"Stop talking, stop..."

"Wait, can't you just describe it with words? Do you have to have video footage?"

"Let's talk about it later. At least don't do it in front of me..."

"What are you guys doing? Hey, don't fight in the cafe. If you break anything, stay here and wash the dishes!"
