Chapter 896 Detective Koshien opens

"...I don't know what you are talking about."

After a moment of astonishment, Hoshikawa Teru turned his head and refused to make eye contact with Hattori Heiji.

Tang Ze will complete the exchange with him soon. There should not be too many surprises before the exchange, which will increase uncertainty for Tang Ze.

"That's right, when we met at the door of the cafe two days ago." Hattori Heiji scratched his chin twice and said without embarrassment, "My words are not appropriate. You can't choose your origin and stand with the organization. , it’s not your voluntary choice. When I said that, I kind of transferred my emotions to you.”

"I don't think you have anything to apologize for." Xingchuan Hui shook his head slightly, "Although the expression may sound a bit too direct, isn't what you said the truth?"

If it weren't for Karasawa's existence, Hoshikawa Teru would most likely have grown into what Hattori Heiji despised, so he was not angry at the other party's offense.

Of course, this assumption makes no sense. Without Tang Ze, he would have been burned in the fire of organizational liquidation along with the death of his most hated father.

"However, my statement like that was a bit too taken for granted." Hattori Heiji recalled his remarks at that time and scratched his head, "After all, you are not your father, and there are some things you cannot control yourself. If you can achieve this step, you should also be able to do it. It took a lot of effort.”

When he said this, Hattori Heiji was thinking of what happened to Karasawa. Thinking about how he had to try every means to keep a low profile because of the case he was involved in, and comparing it to Akechi Goro's rising popularity, he couldn't help but feel unfair for Karasawa.

People who have done no wrong are forced to live with their heads down because of the harm, but the children of the perpetrators stand in the spotlight and become a glamorous existence. He has never liked this ironic gap, and naturally, he dislikes Akechi even more. Goro.

But if you think about it from another perspective, Akechi Goro, who has been forced to be associated with the organization since birth, does not work hard to climb up or prove his worth, then you can imagine the fate he will face. The organization is not a merciful rescue agency. , after accepting children like him, if they cannot extract enough value from the other party, then they will not spend a penny to support a child.

Hattori Heiji spoke like that, as if he was saying lightly, why don't you just die instead of committing a crime?

After further investigation, it seems that there is no reason not to eat minced meat.

Hoshikawa Teru glanced at him, and restrained the urge to sneer because he was still under the gaze of many eyes and could not damage Akechi Goro's image.

He showed a gentle smile: "Suddenly he said a very positive line for the male protagonist, Hattori-kun. Why, just because of the case two days ago, were you also deeply moved by the abbot's words? He is truly a detective who is good at learning and reflecting.”

These words had a strong sense of yin and yang, but Hattori Heiji seemed to have heard nothing and actually nodded seriously.

"Yes, his words really made me reflect. Words are like knives. Just because what you want to do is right, you can't just ignore the damage caused in the process. Our duty is to find the truth, and we can't put ourselves on the line because of this. It’s unattainable. If the detective doesn’t calibrate this string at all times, it’s impossible to predict what kind of harm it will cause to others. The outside world will even consider our identity and assume that our actions are legitimate. This is not good.”

Hoshikawa Teru turned around and glanced at Hattori Heiji helplessly. When he received a calm and clear look back from him, he had no choice but to press his forehead.

His helplessness was not due to Hattori Heiji's overly candid expression, but because of the laughter coming from the headphones.

In order not to affect Karasawa's next performance, when Hattori Heiji said the second sentence, he had to open the communication and synchronize the other party's words to Karasawa.

Hattori Heiji's words were very nice. If he was really the Kumel who fell into the abyss due to his unfortunate birth, then he might be moved by Hattori Heiji's radiant words.

However, the focus of his life and future direction have already shifted to the Phantom Thieves and Karasawa, so at most he can only praise the beauty of these words, and by the way, he clearly knows how much favor he can gain from Karasawa. .

Seeing that he was silent, Hattori Heiji thought that his expression had moved the other person. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his posture after finally conveying his previous guilt.

"Of course, if I find evidence, I will still send you to the prosecutor's office. Don't worry, you are not yet an adult and there are family factors. The prosecutor and the court will take these into consideration and will not impose a harsh sentence."

Hoshikawa Teru glanced at Hattori Heiji, who started to laugh heartlessly: "...Are you serious? Are you trying to persuade a person who knows clearly about Karasawa's situation, and has even been involved to some extent, to believe in the judiciary?"


"Uh..."

Hattori Heiji was speechless. Not far away, Karasawa wiped the tears from laughter from the corner of his eyes, straightened up, and patted the shoulder of the person standing next to him leisurely: "How is it? Not bad, right? I told you, It can’t be Hattori’s.”

Koshizui Nanatsuki glanced sideways at his new white-haired friend: "It makes some sense, but I still want to confirm it myself before speaking."

The invitation list itself was drawn up by Nanatsuki Koshimizu based on the list of "suspects", and it was impossible for Karasawa, who knew the whole story from the beginning, not to know the name of the real murderer.

Not long after the contact, he informed her of the other party's biggest confusion, about who the person who almost killed her friend was.

After Koshimizu Nanatsuki listened to his explanation, although he was quite convinced by his statement, he still insisted on doing the variety show. It seemed that he wanted to confirm the list with his own eyes before he felt relieved.

Somewhat ungrateful, but as a detective, it’s understandable to be a little more skeptical. Tangze expressed his understanding and respect.

Anyway, she is the planner, she has the final say. In the past, when Tangze acted as a close consultant to the Avengers, it was always like this. He gave his own plan. Whether to choose and follow it depends on the ideas of the person involved. He never forced it. .

"But, what's going on with that?" Pointing to Hoshikawa Teru in front of the TV station building from a distance, Koshimizu Nanatsuki raised his eyebrows strangely, "You, obviously..."

"We are the 'Phantom Thieves', and it is reasonable for me to have a few support staff who can disguise themselves and appear in other places for me to use some escape techniques, right?" Karasawa said nonchalantly without changing his expression.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki, similar to Haga Kyosuke, can sense the potential of the other mask user, but after all, he has not yet reached the point where he really wants to give up his current life, completely abandon his social identity and hide in the darkness.

Therefore, Karasawa expects that the arrangements for her will be similar to those for Haga Kyosuke. As a non-staff member of the Phantom Thieves, she will continue to be active in society and provide them with help when necessary.

Faced with this situation, Tang Ze will try his best to hide his true identity to avoid any complications.

To describe it in a colder way, the trajectories of the members of the Phantom Thieves are controllable, and there is no need to worry about the impact that identity leaks may have on Karasawa's current life, but those who escape the scope of the Phantom Thieves are not so terrible. Controlled.

Unless he only interacted with the other party once, had no channel to reveal secrets, pretended to be big and ran away after enjoying himself, Tangze would still tend to have reservations. Koshimi Nanatsuki nodded and reluctantly accepted his explanation.

Although it feels a bit strange somewhere, as a Kaitou, it's so normal that it's not normal.

She took out her sunglasses and put them on the bridge of her nose and raised her head: "Let's go, it's time to start my plan. Please give me more advice, Kaitou-kun."

————

"You came here so early just to see how other opponents are doing..." Sitting in the dressing room and waiting, Conan yawned, "You are somehow quite serious."

"Of course. If you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated. I always want to see what other invited people are like first." Hattori Heiji puffed up his chest, "Apart from you, a famous detective from the East, I haven't seen anyone else who is powerful. Where’s the high school detective?”

"Hey, hey, keep your voice down." Conan, whose identity was revealed by him, looked around hurriedly.

After all, this is a TV station. God knows if the program team will arrange some hidden cameras in the dressing room to create some program effects...

"Don't worry, this aspect has been stipulated in the contract. The dressing room is considered a private part and will not be filmed by the TV station." Hattori Heiji patted Conan on the back.

"Even this kind of thing is written down..." Conan pursed his lips and looked at the closed door of the dressing room.

Should I say that it is truly a negotiation between adults? Maybe Mr. Amuro is really as smart in this area as Karasawa said.

After Toru Amuro arrived, he arrived at the program set with Heiji Hattori and Goro Akechi. They were then led to familiarize themselves with the simple process, such as where to shoot, where to look, etc., and then they were sent Arriving at the dressing room, waiting for the next step.

Theoretically, in order to close the filming, it was not possible for Mouri Kogoro and other family members to come in. Apart from Toru Amuro, who was half an agent, only Conan was brought in by Hattori Heiji as agreed in advance.

And Tohru Amuro must be the only person in charge of Akechi Goro. Naturally, he will not be free to take care of the two of them before he finishes his work there, so the two of them can only wait here.

"However, didn't Akechi give you a copy of the list and information? Why, what about the content he gave you was not detailed enough, making you feel that you need to investigate on your own?"

"How can it be the same? Besides, aren't we going to be exposed to water this time? We can't take this method lightly." Hattori Heiji said, and rolled up his sleeves, looking full of momentum, "It's like doctors can't be trusted In order to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment, you must redo the examinations of other hospitals. How can a detective easily trust the findings of other detectives? "The easy chair detective is not my style."

"What a strange metaphor..." The corner of Conan's mouth twitched, but when he heard Rena Minami's name, he no longer objected to Hattori Heiji's statement.

This variety show, from its initial purpose to the roles of all parties participating in the show, is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Out of caution, one should indeed be careful...

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

While the two were chatting, there was a knock on the dressing room door.

After receiving their invitation to come in, two people who looked equally young walked in one after another.

"Is this the dressing room of 'Detective Koshien'?" the boy who led the way in asked first. After scanning Hattori Heiji's face with keen eyes, he raised his brows in surprise, "Oh, this is not it. Hattori Heiji? Wow, it seems that the show's "luxurious guest lineup" was not an excuse. ”

"Indeed, compared to Hattori Heiji-kun's reputation, Xiaosheng seems to be far behind." Koshimizu Nanatsuki, who walked in behind him, took off the headphones on his head, hung them around his neck, and looked at Hattori Heiji. He was a little unsure again, "But by the way, do people with your skin color need to put on makeup before going on camera?"

"Hey..." Hattori Heiji instantly revealed his half-moon eyes.

"So, are you the other contestants participating in this variety show?" Conan looked at the faces of the two people repeatedly.

Not to mention that they looked familiar, he had a hunch that even if the two of them reported their names, he might not know who they were.

It’s not that he looks down on his peers, the main reason is that as a detective, he is basically active at the scenes of various criminal cases and almost never accepts ordinary commissions from civil society unless the case is novel enough. Generally speaking, it is A detective driven by great interest, even more ungrounded than Hattori Heiji.

The people Kudo Shinichi knew and interacted with were basically detectives who were in their 20s or even middle-aged. A large number of them were the sons of Kudo Yusaku, and they assisted their father in collecting information or providing others with some assistance in solving crimes. He was not very interested in high school detectives of the same age who he met when he proposed, as long as they didn't compete with each other like Hattori Heiji and proved their abilities.

"There is actually such a young child participating. Why, are you also a member of the detective team?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki bent down and looked at this short child through his sunglasses, "Well, how should I put it, not at all. He looks like a child. He looks like a detective.”

"Well, he is my assistant." Glancing at Conan, Hattori Heiji said a little awkwardly, and his voice lowered involuntarily.

Everyone else competed alone, but he was the only one with an external Kudo Shinichi. It felt like a two-on-one situation, which seemed unfair.

The boy who led the way in saw that Nanatsuki Koshizui seemed to be paying attention to Conan, squatting down to tease the elementary school student. He curled his lips in disdain and quickly looked away from Conan.

He looked around the empty dressing room and sighed: "I didn't see Goro Akechi or Shinichi Kudo. I thought that the 'Famous Detective of the East' would undoubtedly be one of them. . What a pity. Without their participation, it feels like this show would be a lot worse.”

"Oh, you said this, if Akechi Goro is right, he is indeed here." Hattori Heiji gestured to the wall with his thumb, "But he has his own dressing room. He has already passed by now and will not stay with us. ”

Unlike these pure amateur guests, Goro Akechi has a long-term program in Japan...

Gee, the more I talk about it, the more I feel like I’m a householder.
