Chapter 930: Civil War among Phantom Thieves
"Hmm, so the so-called traveling under one's own identity is just a matter of changing a conspicuous position?"
Sitting next to Karasawa, Hoshikawa Teru took advantage of the gap between Mouri Kogoro and others before they were seated, and sighed softly.
When it comes to coming to Osaka, the situation is actually not much different from the last time. It’s just that this time the seats on the train were changed from a hidden location to one of them.
Considering that something happened again on the return train, it didn’t take long for this secret to be hidden before Karasawa caught him and took the number...
"There is a difference between sitting somewhere silently by yourself and sitting openly and chatting among everyone." Karasawa corrected with a wagging finger, "Although if you want to stay in the Phantom Thieves for the rest of your life, no one will reject you, but It is still necessary to contact people outside the group.”
"It's not like I haven't been in contact..." Hoshikawa Teru sighed, and only stopped talking when his eyes noticed the approaching Mouri Kogoro and others.
"It's really convenient to work for the Suzuki family." Sitting down on the seat across from him, Mouri Kogoro stretched out, "I wouldn't even consider such things as business private rooms when traveling on business in the past."
"The conditions are not too different." Conan adjusted his seat, "It feels like there is not much difference."
"It's good not to be disturbed by others." Almost instinctively, Hoshikawa Teru immediately changed his expression and entered the mode of Akechi Goro, "If it is public transportation with too many people, sometimes it will be a little troublesome."
He said it was very true.
As the organization builds momentum and Akechi Goro himself handles more and more eye-catching cases due to various work reasons, they appear on newspaper pages and news headlines. Once he travels as Akechi Goro, let Xingchuan Hui's troubled star career began.
If possible, he really wanted to stay in the stronghold instead of standing on the street and being watched like a monkey.
"Mr. Mingzhi, don't you like this kind of life?" Mao Lilan looked at his smiling profile curiously, "If you really don't want to be watched and watched, why do you do so many variety shows?"
This was her question from the bottom of her heart.
If the frequency of appearing on TV shows is reduced, even a famous detective will not be as likely to cause congestion and cause a sensation as an entertainer.
Just like Shinichi in the past, although he does receive fan letters from all over the country and even some overseas, including many exaggerated and excessive expressions of love, the impact on daily life is still limited.
Xingchuan Hui gave Tang Ze a vague look with a hint of death.
How do I know? You should ask the leader. This is not a good thing I did...
Muttering in his heart, the smile on Xingchuan Hui's face showed no sign of collapse. He just followed the design that had been decided long ago and replied lightly: "I really don't like it that much, but it feels good to be able to help. In addition, Since I can do this, I definitely want to do my best.”
This sentence is an excuse for both Akechi Goro's false identity and his inherent attributes as an organizational member.
For the organization, Kumel, who has been living in the darkness for more than ten years, will of course want everyone's admiration and attention once he sees the light of day. He becomes a household name as quickly as possible with an almost vengeful attitude. , is very logical and consistent with the development of his lunatic nature.
For those who are super-powered killers, their personal popularity is just like the Phantom Thieves who need to rely on being famous in society to step into the deeper layers of the subway. Only by becoming the most famous detective, Kumail's ability Only in this way can it be displayed to the greatest extent.
By joining the Phantom Thieves in this capacity, this help will naturally radiate to the Phantom Thieves. This is why Hoshikawa Teru has always resisted, but has never refused this role-playing mode.
"Is it possible to do it instead of wanting to do it..." Mao Lilan nodded thoughtfully.
"If you don't go all out, you will be ruthlessly left behind by this world." Hoshikawa Teru skillfully bent his eyes and smiled, "Just like your... that detective, Kudo-kun. He has been missing for a little longer. At one point, not only the media, but also his classmates began to regard him as a legend that has passed."
This was not a trick that Karasawa specifically asked him to memorize, but as time went by, Hoshikawa Teru was gradually able to step into this false role and try to speak from the other person's perspective.
In Karasawa's words, this version of Akechi Goro is, after all, a person who incorporates some of Hoshikawa Teru's own characteristics. As long as he overcomes the awkward acting obstacle, try to guess how Akechi Goro would speak and speak in a similar background. , some things will come out naturally without careful design and thinking.
For example, as a rising star and an invader who took advantage of public opinion and the media to slowly fade Kudo Shinichi's name in one fell swoop, what would Akechi Goro, standing in this position, think of Kudo Shinichi? The answer is obvious.
"Hey..." Conan's mouth twitched after he had just adjusted the seat.
What kind of adjective is this? How can I say it as if the others are almost gone?
And he is only temporarily missing. How does this guy talk about losing dogs in such a calm and calm tone...
"Well, it makes sense..." Mao Lilan seemed to be convinced by him and nodded slowly, "Thinking about it this way, you really worked hard to be a detective. Handle each one properly among so many sights. Commissioning is definitely very difficult.”
Xingchuan Hui tilted his head: "If you don't go all out, you will definitely feel regret and regret once you are left behind. In contrast, working harder is not a big problem."
"No wonder dad would say that you are the high school detective with the clearest ideas and the most successful career." Mao Lilan laughed.
"I never said such a thing." Mouri Kogoro, who had just picked up the newspaper, immediately denied it. "I just think this is a healthy private detective model. Public welfare detectives who do not ask for anything in return are also good, but It's too childish. And wise, you are too cunning to think of yourself as a detective now."
"Dad..."
Hoshikawa Teru kept his elbows on the armrests and watched them talking with a smile.
Although he was still in a very energy-consuming performance mode, his tense nerves finally relaxed.
These people are good people that Tang Ze considers trustworthy, and Tang Ze has been neighbors and classmates with them for a long time.
Even if he wasn't surrounded by his fellow Phantom Thieves, it seemed like there was nothing to worry about.
His smile only lasted until JR arrived at the station. "Here, here, Xiaolan, Mingzhijun!"
Hearing Suzuki Sonoko's suddenly rising tone, Hoshikawa Teru secretly said something bad. Before she could dodge, she had already grabbed her arm and came closer.
"Don't be like this, Miss Sonoko." Xingchuan Hui first instinctively observed the surroundings to confirm that no black-skinned man appeared, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "It would be bad if your boyfriend misunderstood you."
"There's no such thing as a boyfriend..." Suzuki Sonoko coughed, then pulled back a little, and reservedly let go of his elbow, "If what you're talking about is Ah Zhen, don't worry, I'm not hiding anything. He won’t mind anything.”
It's none of my business whether he cares or whether he wants to think about it. What I'm afraid of is that he won't think about it and will make me think about it.
Hoshikawa Teru, who had witnessed how Kyogoku really pierced an armed helicopter with a steel bar, said it was better to forget it.
Mouri Kogoro, who had been watching them coldly for a while, saw him getting away, and then walked over slowly: "Next, shall we go to the art museum first?"
"Of course. The police here have assisted our security in taking protective measures, but the detectives must still keep an eye on it." Suzuki Sonoko showed a bright smile, "The car is outside, let's go!"
Suzuki Sonoko is always a passionate person, somewhat familiar and carefree, but everyone can see that today she is even more enthusiastic than before. It seems that she has successfully taken over the exhibition layout of an art museum. It was also a joy for her.
"...The specifications are so high." Looking at the stretch car and the dazzling logo in front of him, Mouri Kogoro twitched the corner of his mouth.
After getting along with Suzuki Sonoko for a long time, sometimes I really forget that she is a descendant of a wealthy family whose family is extremely wealthy.
"Of course, this is an important moment to meet Kidd-sama, and there is also an epic meeting between Akechi-kun and Kidd. It's not okay to not highlight the important points!" Suzuki Sonoko said, clasping her hands together and thinking, " If there could be a competition between detectives and phantom thieves in the exhibition hall that I helped decorate, the scene would be too..."
"Yuanzi..." Mao Lilan stretched out her hand and pulled her before she drooled from her fantasy
"Well, in short, in addition to all the security specifications, I also hired some photographers." Suzuki Sonoko concealed her mouth, "I can definitely take epic and wonderful pictures, yes Right, Mr. Nishino?”
"Miss, the camera equipment in the exhibition hall is ready, but since it is Kaitou Kid, it may not be of much use." The man who had been driving silently in front heard her call and immediately responded.
"It doesn't matter if they don't come in handy. If they can capture the moment of destruction, their mission has been accomplished." Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand, "As long as we can capture the scene of Kid-sama appearing in our dreams, everything will be fine. ! Anyway, I’m not trying to catch him.”
Kidd in the dream or something...
The twitching at the corner of Mouri Kogoro's mouth hadn't stopped since she opened her mouth.
If Officer Zhongmori heard this, he would be furious to death...
"Oh, by the way, this is Mr. Nishino Masato, my father's secretary. Because I have to be in charge of the exhibition this time, my father specially sent him to help me." Suzuki Sonoko pointed to the tall back in front of her, "He I have been living all over the world, so I am proficient in many languages, and I speak English, French and German at a professional level. I don’t need to bother him for this reception.”
"Please give me more advice." Masato Nishino tilted his head, "Because this involves the unexpected appearance of the 51st Easter egg, many scholars from all over the world came here to study related content. I am just giving a little help in this aspect. .”
"That's amazing..." Mao Lilan was stunned for a while, and finally had the feeling that her best friend was starting a serious career this time.
While they were talking, the vehicle drove smoothly through the river of Osaka Castle, passed the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, and finally stopped slowly in front of the unique and eye-catching art museum.
"Did you preside over the construction of this place?" Opening the car door and getting out of the car, Mouri Kogoro looked up at the building in front of him, suddenly feeling a strong sense of unreality, "What an exaggeration..."
He always felt that Suzuki Sonoko's so-called collector's statement was simply because he fell in love with Kitagawa Yusuke because of his looks. Instead, he accidentally met a high-class horse, so he did it unintentionally, but he saw that the scale in front of him was impressive. ’s building complex, he had a slight impression that even if it was just some marginal industries of the Suzuki family in art, Suzuki Sonoko had indeed embarked on her own path.
"Ah, not entirely." Looking at the unique building in front of her, Suzuki Sonoko shrugged, "There are dedicated design and review personnel responsible for the construction. I just looked at the renderings a few times and then asked Kitagawa-kun is just giving you some opinions on the exhibition..."
"...So this exhibition also involves the participation of Kitagawa brother?" Conan, who knew Kitagawa Yusuke's true identity, thought of the other party's last obsessive-compulsive ecstatic painting exhibition and the exaggerated anti-theft measures for the exhibits, and raised his eyebrows. Jumped.
How should I put it, let this person participate in the design exhibition, and finally use it to fight against Kaitou Kidd...
Doesn't their boss Joker have a good relationship with Kidd? Are they aware of this operation of beating their own people or not? Or is it because he is a fellow traveler, so he is even more arrogant in his death?
So on the surface, this wave is about the detectives VS Kaito Kidd, but in fact, it’s the Phantom Thief of Heart VS Kaito Kidd, a civil war among the Kaitos?
Conan, who didn't know that he knew the truth in every sense of the word, thought about it and felt that the title was really weird.
Hoshikawa Hui and Tang Ze, who were also admiring this scene, raised their hands at the same time and pressed their itchy noses.
"The security is so tight, it seems like even ants can't fly in, right?" Mouri Kogoro looked at the security personnel's positions in the entire museum with a critical eye, and said from the bottom of his heart.
"That's natural. The opponent is Kaitou Kidd." Suzuki Sonoko puffed up her chest, "He is..."
"...a mysterious thief gentleman who can change freely. No matter how tight the security is, no matter how strong the treasury is, he will miraculously crack it. It is said that he is a cross-dressing master who can even imitate and change his appearance and voice at will..."
A familiar voice came from behind, and several people turned their heads.
Hattori Heiji took off his motorcycle helmet, looked at the group of people standing there, and made a somewhat provocative expression.
"Are you really encountering a problem, fellow detectives?"
