The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"So, you arranged so many steps this time, and even used my resources, just to expose a high school detective who is not worthy of the name?"

Rena Mizunashi stood in Goro Akechi's dressing room again, looking at Tang Ze who was calmly putting on makeup in front of the mirror, and asked sincerely.

If he was retaliating against others at all costs because of his grudge, Rena Mizunashi could barely understand his logic, but looking at Junya Tokatsu's state, it was obvious that he had never met Kumer in the past, and he should never offend him.

She observed Tang Ze's expression suspiciously, and imagined many possibilities in her mind.

Rena Mizunashi, who has been in the organization for many years, knows very well that, after all, it is more important to look at what people do than what they say. What they say can be whitewashed and packaged, but actions cannot be faked.

Kumel must be pursuing something to choose to spend so much energy on such an insignificant little person.

...Could it be that he has been playing the role of a detective for so long that he really has a sense of identity with this profession, so he cannot tolerate the scum who ruins the reputation of detectives?

That's not right. In that case, it's not the turn of Tokizu Junya. There are more than one or two detectives in Tokyo who are not worthy of their reputations, and their level of skills is average and their private lives are messy.

After finishing his makeup, Karasawa turned his head and glanced at Mizunashi Rena up and down. Finally, he curved his eyes and showed Goro Akechi's signature gentle smile: "If I say that this is because we have taken a fancy to a detective and want to recruit him into our team, and destroying Tokizu Junya is one of the prerequisites, what would you think?"

Karasawa knew that for an undercover agent like Mizunashi Rena who was in a highly defensive state, it was far less effective to let her suspect herself and then conduct an in-depth investigation than to express her identity frankly, so naturally he was reserved in his words.

Of course, his words were not only not a bit of water, but also the real truth from two perspectives.

Rena Mizuno supported her chin and thought for a while, and quickly locked onto the person he was referring to: "You mean, that Nanatsuki Koshimizu who has an age problem? Is there anything special about her that is worth your mobilization?"

A guy who can be favored by Kumail, whether it is positive or negative, should not be an ordinary person, but Nanatsuki Koshimizu, let alone compare her with so many detectives, even if you only watch this inexplicable variety show, she is not the best one.

But Rena Mizuno took into account the family background and background of others, and according to the elimination method, the only one who might be persuaded by Kumail and join their "command" is the unknown Nanatsuki Koshimizu.

Hakuba Tan and Hattori Heiji are both sons of high-ranking police officials. Kudo Shinichi, who has only heard of him but never seen him, has a father who is a world-renowned novelist and is also quite famous. It is unreasonable for him to be targeted by a newly emerged detective agency. The only possibility is her.

Tang Ze looked around in the mirror, checked the disguise mask, and then answered slowly: "The special thing is probably that she is a detective who will pick up the butcher knife out of resentment."

The main theme of Tang Ze's conversation with Mizuno Rena this time is that it is all right, but all wrong.

This sentence is also a real truth, and it is one of the fundamental reasons why Tang Ze chose her.

Although in the original plot, the result of the incident did not lead to a decisive road of no return, but anyway, at that time, Koshimizu Nanatsuki really had the mood of not returning, and was ready to take everyone to die together if the real murderer could not be identified.

People with such a mind and distortion are of course the best choice for the mask.

"Could it be that this is what you mean by the progress of the research?" Mizuno Rena made a look of realization, pretending to be relaxed, and the muscles on her back were secretly tense.

Kumail's existence itself is a huge threat. If, she meant if, the organization and Kumail have mastered how to find people with the same characteristics...

"Hmm, I can't tell you about that." Tang Ze smiled and threw the brush back into the makeup box, making a heart-pounding sound.

Knowing the other party's special ability, Mizuno Rena knew very well that his makeup box was definitely not just a simple thing like cosmetics.

Looking at Akechi Goro who turned his head to look at her, Mizuno Rena pursed her lips.

The bright soft light surrounded the makeup mirror, illuminating the half of the handsome face reflected in the mirror, and at the same time, the half turned to her was completely backlit, completely shrouded in a gloomy shadow, gloomy like a demon.

Kumail and Akechi Goro, these two completely opposite identities and images are so accurately displayed on the boy in front of him at this moment.

This is a very dangerous, very dangerous guy.

No, she had to speed up her actions. She had to find out why Akechi Goro was sent to Tokyo and why he rose to prominence in the organization. If she didn't find the truth, she would always feel a sense of crisis.

"Anything else?" Seeing that Rena Mizuno fell into silence, although there was no expression on her face, she must have been struggling with her inner thoughts. Tang Ze stopped and sat up straight in front of the makeup mirror again. "The program will be moving forward soon. If you don't go out to prepare, will it be in time?"

"Of course." Seeing that he was picking and choosing in the makeup box again, and seemed to no longer care about where she was going, Rena Mizunono calmed down and left this room that made her feel quite uneasy.

Even though they were the only two of them, she felt strangely watched while standing in the room. The nerves behind her head were throbbing, screaming danger and warnings, so even when she left, she backed away cautiously.

Her judgment was correct. Kumail was indeed an extremely dangerous person.

Before she was sure, she should reduce the possibility of private contact with him.

After Mizunashi Rena disappeared completely, Tang Ze stopped pretending to deal with her makeup, turned his head, and looked at the hangers behind him in silence.

Under his gaze, after a few seconds, the hangers full of clothes surged, and several people emerged from the shadows behind.

"It's such a small place, it's a pity you can squeeze in." Tang Ze shook his head, "Don't keep staring at her, you're scaring Rena Mizunoshi."

"Sorry, sorry, I'm just curious." Hagiwara Kenji looked around and raised his hand to take the blame, "I want to try to see how far Hoshikawa-kun's magical power can go."

"Why do you want to try running here? You're obviously testing Rena Mizunoshi's perception ability..." Tang Ze shook his head with a smile.

As Hoshikawa Teru became more familiar with his abilities, his special ability, which is equivalent to the cognitive power of the thieves in the original work who would never be discovered when entering the shadows, has shown more and more cognitive scenes in reality.

This includes taking people along the direction of the shadows, hiding their bodies, and running around.

According to the subjective perspective of Hoshikawa Teru, in his own vision, the feeling of using the ability is like the whole world transforming from real reality into a sketch composed of points, lines and planes. He can clearly perceive the distinction between light and dark, and then hide himself in it...

The description is very abstract, and it is difficult to imagine what the state is, but Tang Ze probably knows that this is also an ability with a very high development ceiling, and it is not surprising that it will trigger Hagiwara Kenji, a novice.

"It does need to be tested." Zhu Fushi Jingguang stepped forward and took the initiative to share the firepower for Hagiwara Kenji. "The premise of cooperation is that she is not only trustworthy in her position, but also in her ability. Such a dangerous job, once you make a mistake, it will only implicate others."

Tang Ze glanced at him, and considering his excessive experience in this area, he didn't dare to refute.

Well, Tang Ze admitted that due to the intellectual confrontation stage of the original plot, Mizunashi Rena's role was mainly sex scenes, that is, she pretended to be dead from time to time when lying on the hospital bed, and used her acting skills to fool Gin and so on. Most of the time, she was the one pointed out by Beretta. In terms of the skills of the undercover, except for her calm emotions, other things are not very obvious.

If Morobushi Keimitsu wants to give it a try, then give it a try.

"Don't go too far." Thinking of this, Tang Ze shrugged, "Not to mention the problem of ability, she must be the most nervous among all the undercovers. It would be bad if she made things worse."

"Don't worry, I have my own way." Morobushi Keimitsu heard that Tang Ze did not object to his actions, and he also responded confidently.

————

"So, because of Tokatsu Junya's overconfidence, we successfully skipped some unnecessary screening processes?" Hattori Heiji, who received the notice, had a strange expression, "Why do I feel..."

Why do I feel that Hakuba Tan's specious statement seems to be true?

This program, rather than selecting the best high school detective, exists entirely to torment Junya Tokatsu.

If he wins, he will continue with the process, arrange a wave of intelligence games and scripts, and then enter the next stage, but because he failed, and it was such a big failure, so those processes became "unnecessary processes"...

Bai Ma, whose mentality has changed, rested his chin on his hand, casually fiddling with his cufflinks, and nodded when he heard it: "However, there is a reason why Mr. Tokatsu is targeted like this. To be honest, if this kind of mistake is just a problem that occurs for deliberate performance in front of the camera, it is not a big deal, but..."

He tilted his head and didn't continue, but everyone present heard that his next meaning was not very friendly.

"Well, what did he say when he introduced himself?" Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who was holding a ballpoint pen and spinning it, pretended to recall, "300 cases, of which 250 were arrested and prosecuted, um, and there were also those who escaped and committed suicide before being arrested..."

She lowered her eyes, her expression was mocking and teasing.

This sentence didn't sound very powerful at first, but in fact the implication was very unfriendly, just like pointing at Tokitsu Junya's nose and saying, how many wrongful cases have you created as a rookie with loopholes in handling cases.

"Okay, I take back my previous comment that the show is boring." Hakuba Tan shrugged and solemnly straightened his collar with two buttons opened, "Although it is boring and uninteresting as a program for detecting ability competition, if it can save some people after it is broadcast, it is not a waste of time."

These high school detectives, because of their brilliant achievements in the field of criminal investigation in the past, rarely have the opinions they put forward been ignored by the police station.

This symbiotic relationship also determines that unless a trusted high school detective makes a major mistake in principle and his credibility collapses, the police will rarely question the logical reasoning they give.

And this show is a good start for credibility collapse.

Following Hattori Heiji's feet, Conan, who was habitually ignored because of his short stature, silently observed the reactions of the crowd, and finally, cast his eyes on Koshimizu Nanatsuki.

Hakuba Tan didn't know Tokatsu Junya at all, whether he looked or sounded, and neither did Hattori Heiji.

Not to mention that Akechi Goro, who was most likely a slacker who came for Mizunashi Rena, was the one who reacted most intensely to Tokatsu Junya's fallacy in the program group, that was Koshimizu Nanatsuki.

The intense here does not mean that there is any obvious big emotion. On the contrary, in Conan's opinion, her emotional control is quite strong, and her acting skills, well, are better than his own anyway. Mainly, she has some almost subconscious micro-expressions and movements, which all show that when she saw Tokatsu Junya's outrageous operations, her reaction was not just simple shock and speechlessness, but indeed contained a considerable degree of negative emotions.

For example, when he saw Tokizu Junya confidently step forward and loudly announced that he had the answer, and when Tokizu Junya took out the screws on the door lock as support for his reasoning.

It is impossible to have a bad impression of someone who has been in contact with her for such a short time, even if you think she is suffering from idiocy.

While several people were talking, they were taken back to the dressing room by the staff, where they just found the "corpse" of Mizunashi Rena.

There, the program team had completed the reproduction of the method of the first puzzle.

As the fishing line pulled the fixed key out of the ventilation duct, Tokizu Junya, who had been stubborn for a long time, could no longer resist. He rubbed his hair hard in anger and annoyance. Faced with the iron-clad facts, he had to grit his teeth and admit his mistakes.

The murderer was certainly not Nanatsuki Koshimizu, nor was he the best friend who he judged as the deceased that year, but the staff member played by Jinpei Matsuda.

The reason why his route of action overlapped with several people was that he entered the dressing room after Nanatsuki Koshimizu left.

When Junya Tokatsu was extremely frustrated and lowered his head with gritted teeth, Goro Akechi was calmly hugging his arms and leaning against the wall opposite him.

This scene, if you take a photo from a different angle, it is as if Junya Tokatsu was completely defeated and embarrassedly admitted defeat to Goro Akechi.

Just as Conan had this thought, a flash came on from behind.

Conan looked back at the staff who quietly retreated after taking the photo, and then observed Junya Tokatsu who was unaware of this from his perspective.

It is obvious that the program team and his ideas rarely coincide, and they realized his creativity for him without wasting a second.

Conan was shocked by the operation of the media again: "..."
