The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

Chapter 890 Akechi Goro = Kumail?

"Thinking back carefully, the first time I heard the code name 'Kumel' was actually from the conversation between Gin and Vodka."

Holding a pen in his hand, Conan's brain was running as fast as his hands, turning it and recalling.

"At that time, Gin asked Vodka in a very casual tone whether the information provided by Kumail was accurate. Vodka replied, 'His father did things dirty, and the public security department has found traces.' This information seemed to make Gin very dissatisfied, and then Vodka said, 'Then should we kill him according to the agreement with Kumail?'"

Later, because they revealed that the person who completed the transaction with them was holding a bomb in his hand, the two got off the bus at the next stop, and Conan's attention was forced to divert. At that time, he had no other knowledge of this code name, but simply remembered this information.

Now, combined with all the information, the meaning of these words has become different.

"Karazawa told me that Akechi's true identity is actually the son of the deceased politician Shigehiko Tōguchi. Shigehiko Tōguchi was targeted by the police for soliciting bribes, and soon after he was caught in a scandal. When we found out that Pisco's mission target was Shigehiko Tōguchi, the reason was that Tōguchi could be exposed to the police at any time, and he had to shut him up before he fell into the hands of the police and revealed important information..."

At that time, Akechi Goro not only appeared in the venue, but also had a fierce conflict with Shigehiko Tōguchi.

After saying this, Conan fell into silence for a while, and so did Hattori Heiji who was sitting opposite him.

The two looked at each other and found a heavy expression on each other's face.

Combining all the information together, Akechi Goro's identity became more suspicious.

And the murder of his father, even in a criminal group like the organization, sounds like a serious accusation.

Habara Ai leaned back and pulled the mask on her face.

She was not sure of Karasawa's thoughts for the time being. She didn't know whether he wanted the two detectives to find more or to cover up more, so that they would not find accurate information too early.

She thought about it and had to answer vaguely: "If, I mean if, Goro Akechi is really Kumer, then it would be difficult for you and I to stand here now, Kudo. Almost every detective who is close to us has noticed the suspicious points about us, not to mention that Tang Ze and I are related by blood. Tang Ze told others without hesitation that Huiyuan Ai is his sister..."

If Goro Akechi really met Tang Ze during the organization's experiment, then there is no reason for him not to guess what kind of "sister" Tang Ze has in this world.

"Moreover, this cannot explain the problem of the drug. Tang Ze said that the subjects handled by his parents, because the experimental parameters are based on Tang Ze's own information, these people will have a heartfelt trust in Tang Ze's family. Your previous view is that the tragedy of Tang Ze and his uncle and aunt is inseparable from Kumer's hand. There must be a problem with one of these two speculations."

At this point, Huiyuan Ai hinted tactfully.

"There's no need to be so heavy-hearted, my two detective classmates. If your guesses can come true, then the situation is actually good for us. Akechi Goro is Karasawa's 'friend', or let me put it in a more cold way, he is a 'slave' of the experiment and a 'believer' of Karasawa. If he is really Kumail, then it is likely to be a good thing. We have enough enemies and they are strong enough to disintegrate it from the inside. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don't be too resistant to contacting him. I have confidence in Karasawa, every Karasawa."

So be less suspicious and scare yourself.

Although there will be no substantial harm, she is really afraid that Karasawa will be satisfied and this guy will come up with something new to do.

"Compared to that kind of thing, Kudo, if you have time, come over and provide me with some experimental samples, such as blood, hair follicles, etc. I may have some new progress here, and I need you to help me confirm it."

After hanging up the phone, Huiyuan Ai shook her head, put down her phone, and walked to the door of the laboratory to change her gloves again.

With the help of the Phantom Thieves and Tang Ze's unremitting financial support, the specifications of this personal laboratory are already quite high. The casual replacement of gloves and protective clothing will not be counted as a loss by her sister.

Although disinfection was done when entering the door, it was still in contact with foreign objects. In such a sensitive experimental environment, it is still necessary to minimize the impact of environmental interference. She is afraid that the strain she has cultivated with great difficulty will commit suicide because she ignored it on the phone.

"Noah, it's okay, put it in the observation box." After carefully checking in front of the microscope, Huiyuan Ai nodded, turned to the next test tube filled with solution, and began to operate skillfully with her hands, chatting casually, "By the way, is the situation in Ireland still stable? I configured the drugs according to past experimental data, but this place is different from the organization after all, and your machine is not the same as the one in the organization."

In other words, to be honest, as an operator, she herself was not very sure that she could successfully confirm Tang Ze's whimsical guess, but Tang Ze's statement was successful.

He always succeeded, no matter how fantastical, but the speculation still sent a chill down her spine.

Thinking of the complex emotions of Belmode's struggle, for a moment, she couldn't tell whether Belmode was really moved by the gentle and compassionate attitude of her uncle and aunt, or whether this was also the effect of drugs and hormones...

"It's pretty good." Noah's voice came from the speaker, "The vital signs are very stable. Judging from the average data, the mood is quite stable. Except for a little lack of sleep, there are no other symptoms."

Grayhara didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was rare for her to have a sense that the other party seemed to be really artificial intelligence: "I know he is very healthy. I'm asking about brainwashing control."

"Oh, that's even more no problem. I didn't realize you were still worried about this." Noah suddenly realized and answered confidently, "Although he doesn't admit it, looking at his efficiency, he is dead set. I think without the insurance of drugs, when the boss wants to control the other party, guys like Ireland can't resist at all."

The reason why Tang Ze didn't show this side internally was because he didn't want to control. He was leading a team, not raising a group of subordinates. The nature is completely different.

Or to put it more sensationally, he trusted the Phantom Thieves, so he also trusted that they would stand with him.

But facing Ireland's situation, others didn't know, but Noah, who was responsible for implanting a chip in Ireland, installing a life-support device, and implanting many backdoors in Ireland's monitoring equipment, knew very well that the moment Karasawa led him to see the orphan of Masuyama Kenzo, Ireland's defenses had been completely shaken.

"...You're right." Huiyuan Ai put down the test tube, glanced at the phone whose screen had turned off, and nodded in agreement.

Look, aren't these two guys whose emotions were easily affected?

On the other side of the call, the two detectives sat at a strange cafe table, looked at each other's expressions, and both came to their senses.

Yes, if Akechi Goro is really Kumail, shouldn't that be a good thing?

As long as Karasawa is there, no matter what conflicts they have with him, no matter how much they dislike each other, these conflicts will not deepen to the point of affecting the overall situation, and there is no need to worry about the other party's betrayal.

At this point, Hattori Heiji, who felt that he couldn't be so optimistic, had to think again and try to find some counter-evidence.

"Well, he has seen 'Kudo Shinichi', right?" Hattori Heiji touched his chin, "and he is related to the organization's experiment. If he is really Kumel, then even if he didn't recognize you now, he should know the fact that 'Kudo Shinichi is not dead'. There is no reason to hide it from the organization, right?"

"Not necessarily, maybe it's because of the fact that 'Kudo Shinichi is helping Tang Ze'..." At this point, Conan also patted his head.     Isn't that still the same meaning? No matter how harmful Goro Akechi is, he will not attack them.

"But in this case, when he was shot with an anesthetic gun in Osaka last time..." Conan still didn't want to let this issue go so easily.

It's not a bad thing to be optimistic, but being too confident in this kind of problem can cause big trouble.

"It just so happened that Tang Ze didn't come with us that time. He was the only one left in the police station among us." Hattori Heiji calmly retorted, "And we can't just consider the shooting, we should consider why he chose the tranquilizer gun, why not just use live bullets? That place is in the wilderness, there will be no surveillance cameras, kill a group of policemen, set a fire, and there will be no evidence."

Destroy a group of policemen, and by the way, get rid of Kudo, a big trouble who is too smart.

If he were Kumail, his face would be crooked with smiles.

"…The more I talk about it, the more it seems to be true." Conan patted his forehead and pulled his thoughts away from the traitor Goro Akechi again. "Does this mean that we have to assume that Kumail is someone who will stand on our side?"

"It's not certain that he is Kumail." Hattori Heiji shook his head. "Although the characteristics sound very consistent, don't forget that Akechi is active on variety shows all day and is very popular, which actually means that he has very little personal time."

Being a detective and appearing on shows, plus the popularity brought by high popularity, it is not easy for such a person to go out without being recognized, not to mention that he has to take time to work as a killer for the organization.

He can't be busy with detective business during the day and go out to complete the organization's tasks at night, killing and setting fires, right? Not sleeping? This working environment is too difficult.

"You are right, patricide is a heavy accusation." Conan also nodded.

If their assumptions are all true, it means that the information about Shigehiko Tsuguchi was transmitted to the organization by Goro Akechi, which is equivalent to him personally sending his biological father down.

Even if he didn't do it himself, he couldn't escape this sin.

"Well, otherwise..."

After a moment of silence, the two detectives spoke at the same time.

"...Why don't we just test him in person?"

"...Let Karasawa ask him?"

Hattori Heiji:?

Conan:?

"You really accepted Akechi-kun's invitation." Amuro Toru looked at Hattori Heiji who sat down in front of him again, a little surprised, "I thought you hated him."

"Is it obvious?" Hattori Heiji touched his neck and thought uncertainly, "I'm just okay, okay?"

"It's quite obvious. Don't be nervous, Akechi-kun is not someone who cares about this. He is quite independent and has passed the period of needing to seek recognition from others." Toru Amuro waved his hand, "Don't think I am his boss. I don’t have a very close relationship with him. He is a guy who is hot on the outside and cold on the inside. It’s normal for you to dislike him.”

"Well, you and Boss Amuro are not close. So how did you two meet, and why did he work in your office?" Hattori Heiji looked at the documents in front of him and suddenly became curious.

In front of him was the specific information provided by Goro Akechi about the program group of Nippon TV.

Needless to say, he really didn't like Akechi, but his professional skills were worthy of respect.

This information is not only detailed and comprehensive, but also includes a personal analysis section, even taking into account the level of the viewer, with very easy-to-understand data analysis and conclusions.

To sum up, this program group is worthwhile to participate in, but due to the risks of guests and subject matter, the recording process of the program may not be controllable. Once there are any problems, it is easy to trigger public opinion. Even if the recording is completed normally, there are still risks in broadcasting.

I have to say that this report was made with great care, and it was even more awe-inspiring considering that it was actually the information prepared by Goro Akechi for him in advance.

Why would such a guy suddenly choose such a small office run by an unknown cafe waiter?

It's a good question, but for such an obvious question, Toru Amuro has of course already had a confession with Karasawa, oh no, colluded with the information.

"Well, he is a minor. You know, if he wants to participate in work, his career in business operations will be subject to many restrictions. He needs a firm to help him handle these things. In addition," Amuro Toru pointed out Pointing to the attic stairs on the side, "I am Tang Ze's current guardian. He still trusts me because of Tang Ze."

Hattori Heiji, who somehow felt that the hypothesis between him and Conan had come true: "..."

"If you are interested in coming to Tokyo to work as a detective in the future, you are welcome to come to our office." Toru Amuro smiled and clicked on the business card pinned at the beginning of the document, "Akechi-kun is actually a good colleague, really."

Heiji Hattori, who felt that the other party was inexplicably sincere, but also seemed to have malicious intentions: "..."

Forget it, dealing with the problem at hand is his top priority, and he doesn't need to worry about these trivial issues for the time being.

Hattori Heiji lowered his head and stared at the cover of the document in his hand.

Is there a place where I can get in touch with Goro Akechi and Reina Minato at the same time, and have a chance to observe their interaction? Then he now has a reason to attend.

In the attic, Conan, who had sneaked over, was sitting on the footrest of the bean bag sofa, faithfully executing his afternoon idea.

"You want me to ask Akechi for you about his situation in the organization?" Tangze raised his eyebrows and leaned back.

Then you really asked the right person...
