The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

Chapter 895: Words as sharp as knives

Before Conan could study what he was saying, Hattori Heiji, who ran into the room first, had already moved the Buddha statue on the ground, and as expected, he saw the bloodstain hidden in the corner.

The dried reddish-brown marks were covered by the tatami pattern under the glass where the Buddha statue was directly pasted, occupying a considerable area. Considering that it was only about a quarter of the original bloodstain, it was not difficult to guess what kind of horrifying scene Chuanjiu saw the morning before.

Shi Lian sighed, put his hands together, looked at Chuanjiu's expression hesitantly, and then looked back at Tang Ze who was smiling at him. In the end, he just chanted a Buddhist name, did not hide anything, and described the cause and effect of the matter truthfully.

A mother who had been disqualified for 18 years suddenly found her conscience and returned to the place where she abandoned her child to find the missing feelings, but she had never been a mother and had avoided this role for more than ten years. She was obviously not a good mother, which aroused Shi Lian's dissatisfaction, so she hoped that before they officially recognized each other, she could at least sincerely repent for her past behavior.

Chuanjiu was the most well-behaved and obedient child he brought up. His incomplete family made him lose a lot in his growth, but it did not stop him from growing into a good person.

Shi Lian, who never thought he was good at educating children, felt that this was a good fate that Chuanjiu had made, so he always hoped that God would be better to this lonely child.

Love brings worry, love brings fear, nothing more than this.

"... Greed, anger, and ignorance are all karma." Speaking of sending a woman who attempted suicide to the hospital, and thus missing the time to clean up the scene, Shi Lian folded his hands again and reflected on himself, "This is also my fault. I didn't tell you the truth, maybe I didn't want to face it. What this young gentleman said makes sense. You didn't choose to be born. You have been abandoned by your family once. How to deal with this relationship is your own freedom. You are no longer a child without self-care ability, and even because of this matter, you have gradually developed a demon in your heart. I should let you know."

Chuanjiu, who never expected the truth to be so cruel, stared at him blankly for a moment, then lowered his head and looked at the bloodstains on the ground that had completely dried up and could no longer be washed away.

His disappointment was obvious. After all, no child would want his parents not to love him, and it is not pleasant to have one's hopes dashed.

But after a moment of silence, Chuanjiu just put his hands together and saluted the old Shi Lian: "There is nothing wrong with your idea. Since this donor has forgotten the past, it means that I have no fate with her. Things that are not destined should not be forced."

"It's good that you think so. But my approach is indeed inappropriate." Shi Lian also looked at the mark and closed his eyes, "Words are like knives. If they are used improperly, they will become a man-eating beast and a murderous weapon. You must understand the other person's intentions and use it carefully, no matter who the other person is."

"Master, you are still so harsh on yourself..." Chuanjiu smiled bitterly, slowly exhaled, and his expression was visibly relaxed.

It can be seen that after letting go of the nostalgia and concern for his biological parents and this weird urban legend, Chuanjiu's condition has improved a lot. He even has a kind of open-minded Buddhist nature, which is completely in line with this quiet temple.

It is a very touching picture, with a little warmth in the sadness. The abbot did not do anything extraordinary except hiding the fact that the tourist committed suicide in the other courtyard, so it is naturally not the turn of the real police to appear.

The matter seemed to have come to an end with the master and apprentice talking about the problem, but Conan pushed his glasses on his face and felt that the surrounding environment had undergone some subtle changes.

At the same time, Tang Ze hooked his finger, glanced at the panel that only he could see, confirmed that he had accumulated a little progress in the desire stone, and then withdrew his hand with satisfaction.

This is the main reason why he made a special trip to exchange it with Xingchuan Hui. Tang Ze was not sure whether his teammates could do this kind of environmental collection element.

Conan, who was thinking hard, silently followed the pace of Maori Kogoro, but his thoughts always stayed in that small Japanese-style room.

Goro Akechi's secretive mouth shape flashed before his eyes. He looked back at the pool of blood, as if he heard a sharp wail that disappeared after a brief resounding.

If this incident also has something to do with cognitive science, then the biggest difference between him and Hattori Heiji and others is probably that he accidentally followed the guys from the Phantom Thieves and went to the "other side of the world".

Then think of the mother who inexplicably lost her memory and Denkyu who could see strange bloodstains...

"Well, it does have something to do with cognitive science."

Tang Ze, who had already eaten and drunk enough, held his cheek and watched the detectives who were hungry until the afternoon to eat voraciously. He glanced at the girls sitting at another table and talking in a low voice, and confirmed Conan's guess.

"Although it's not as bad as what the Phantom Thieves do, you've heard about it, right? People who are strongly stimulated may lose their memories without any trauma. People's emotions and feelings are complicated, but they are also physiological reactions caused by various substances in the brain. It's normal for them to affect the human body when they fluctuate violently."

"Just like many mental illnesses have somatic symptoms?" Hattori Heiji, who found it quite interesting, tried to discuss it.

"Yes, it feels almost the same. Cognitive psychology, compared to ordinary psychology, emphasizes the role of cognition in transforming the world. I will explain it to you with simple principles," Tangze lowered his head and looked at the person in front of him. For dessert, use a spoon to lick the strawberries on top He dug it out and waved it in front of both of them. "Her regret and trauma turned into substance and were directly extracted from her 'cognition' and stayed in that place. And Chuanjiu witnessed the too bloody scene. , also creates trauma and therefore perceives it.”

To put it in a way that Tangze himself can better understand, this mother has precipitated a stone of desire.

Although the Desire Stone in this world somehow grew on Tang Ze, making him seem like a filter of cognitive power, Tang Ze has not forgotten that the Desire Stone itself is one of the collection elements of the game. , is a crystallization composed of human memories and desires, itself something that can be discovered and collected by the masker. *(Note)

The reason why she did not form a shadow or a palace may be related to this. It is also possible that without the detective and his intervention, the unsolved legend could not be forgotten for a long time. The more deeply affected it was by the desire stone, it also transformed into Things like the Buds of the Palace...

In short, perhaps one of the biggest impacts of the suturing of the two worlds is that some urban legends that could only be filmed in two episodes of Approaching Science have somehow gained scientific basis and become real urban legends.

Such as today.

"I, can it still be like this?" Hattori Heiji held his forehead in surprise, "Doesn't that mean that what Denku experienced was not an illusion at all, but a real urban legend?!"

"This is indeed the case at this stage of research. Just like when Lan and I lost our memory before, then why do you think Kyosuke Futo, a psychiatrist, relies on external objects to directly cause our degenerative amnesia? There must be a reason for the phenomenon. It will be understood as metaphysics before there is any reason. This is also a normal stage of scientific development." Tang Ze spread his hands and talked seriously.

In fact, he is not completely talking nonsense. He has read through the information left by Tangze and his wife, and has other crooked colleagues' documents as supplementary materials. Now Tangze is not good at doing research, so it is okay to talk about the principles.

"I thought those who engaged in cognitive learning were just magicians..." Hattori Heiji slowly turned his hat back. "A magician with a scientific explanation." Conan corrected, and then fell into the next step of thinking, "In that case, how did Goro Akechi discover it?"

"Well, because he is a person who has undergone experiments. Maybe he will notice something is wrong." Tang Ze shrugged, putting on a helpless expression pretending to be innocent, "Who knows, this is a science after all. As a discipline that is still developing, there must be many unexplainable people or things like this in the world... Why are you two looking at me?"

When Karasawa put the strawberry into his mouth, he raised his head and saw the two detectives grabbing the edge of the table for no apparent reason and moving towards him.

Hattori Heiji didn't say anything. He just put down the plate he had emptied and moved closer. Then he whispered like a secret signal: "The power of making your wishes come true? So, what Kudo said, you That, that ability, is it real..."

Although this is indeed something that should be plotted in a low voice, looking at his sneaky look, he seems to be asking "Do you have such a resource?"...

Feeling that he had nothing to hold in, Tang Ze leaned back a little defensively: "What do you want to say?"

"Ahem, just, you asked us before, that, that is, if we have any wishes that we want to realize..." Hattori Heiji's voice lowered, and he looked almost sneaky.

"If you want to confess, go and confess yourself." Tang Ze, who had already guessed what he was going to say, raised his hand.

Hattori Heiji became even more excited when he heard what he said: "You can really feel my thoughts!"

"Do you still need to feel this? It's almost written on your face." Conan raised his eyelids, "I've told you to work hard on this kind of thing, so there's no reason to let others do it for you..."

"Yeah, the most we can do is help you with advice." Tang Ze also spread his hands, "If you ask me, you shouldn't worry about anything all day long, such as the occasion, timing, and atmosphere. Just find a day with sunny weather and be serious and serious. Isn’t it enough to just tell her? Although it is said that ‘sharpening a knife does not waste time chopping wood’, you can’t just sharpen a knife without chopping wood?”

"This, this kind of thing, can't be that simple... Moreover, the two of us have been fooling around together since we were young, and we grew up together. Even if we hold hands, it's like the left hand holding the right hand." After talking about it, his voice As thorough as a mosquito, "If there is no suitable occasion and I don't say it very seriously, she will just think that I am joking... This is not okay..."

Conan, who was still listening to him carefully at first, wanted to roll his eyes the more he listened, so he simply ignored Hattori Heiji, who was in the troubles of adolescence, and extended his hand to Karasawa expectantly.

Tangze rolled his eyelids, but still reached into his commuter bag in cooperation, then pulled out a can of cold coffee and stuffed it into his hand.

"Why do I feel like you're not making a wish at all? You just treat me like a coffee machine that doesn't cost anything..."

"Well, it's better than some idiot who wants to make a wish and confess successfully, right?"

"Okay, let's talk about it, indeed."

"Hey you two, I'm still there..."

Hoshikawa Teru, who changed into casual clothes and wore glasses and sat in the corner, listened to the noise behind him and rolled his eyes silently.

Although he understood the reason, and Tang Ze had held a formal discussion in the group, and had made an important speech on the fact that the cognitive bottom of this world might be related to the field of criminal investigation, and detectives, as important landmarks, were all worthy of developing good relationships, he still couldn't understand why the leader played the game of guessing with these detectives all day long.

The hostility of Goro Akechi played by Tang Ze towards them was fake, but as a prototype, Hoshikawa Teru himself, who was taken as a material and indeed constituted a part of Goro Akechi, really didn't like them.

He didn't like their self-righteousness, nor did he like their overreaching.

"Until now, I haven't noticed the information gap that the leader is completely wrong. Who is the idiot, I say..."

Moreover, he really didn't realize that what they called excellent qualities that Tang Ze always praised were excellent?

When they felt that Goro Akechi was a guy standing on the opposite side, wasn't their attitude just as annoying?

Hoshikawa Teru's thoughts only lasted until the opening of the Detective Koshien variety show.

When he put on his Akechi suit, stood at the door of the TV station neatly and exquisitely, waiting for Amuro to come and take them in for contact, and to exchange with Tang Ze, Hattori Heiji, who had to act with him because he was successfully packaged and sold, saw him from a distance and took the initiative to walk over.

Behind him was Toyama Kazuha, waving and cheering for him.

She found a poster in her hand at some point, shaking it and shouting: "Hey, stupid Heiji, come on, you are the representative of our West, you can't lose!"

"You are so noisy!" Hattori Heiji turned his head and awkwardly rejected Qingmei's support, stood in front of Hoshikawa Teru, and cleared his throat.

Hoshikawa Teru raised his head from the mobile phone screen, maintaining the gentle smile of Akechi Goro, and raised his eyebrows at him, as if asking him what he wanted to say.

"Well, uh, I'm here to apologize. I did go too far when I said that to you before."

Hoshikawa Teru, who had just complained about him in his heart:?
