Chapter 948 Money is not everything
Kasaka Natsumi, who originally came to talk to him with a very complicated and nervous mood, was at a loss for a while, and her emotions briefly stopped.
"What does it mean...?"
"Ahem, in short," Karasawa's head turned quickly, and he immediately gave a suitable explanation, "I will not admit that I am Kaitou Kidd. After finishing the current conversation, I will tell all the contents. Forgot. All I can say is that if you want to ask about the Egg of Memory, I can indeed answer some of your questions.”
"Oh, oh..." Natsumi Kasaka nodded blankly, understanding his hint.
This is because I am worried that after voluntarily admitting my identity, I may be in trouble, or be overheard by others, which will bring trouble to me, so I can answer questions, but forget about my identity.
Quickly finding a reasonable explanation, she quickly let go of this somewhat bizarre answer and returned her focus to the truth she wanted to know.
"The thing you asked Mr. Steward to transfer to you on the ship, is it, is it really...?"
Recalling the shock in her heart when she returned to the room and saw the complete handicraft on the table, shining under the light, Kasaka Natsumi instinctively clasped her hands together again, pinching her fingers until they turned white.
Tang Ze confirmed her guess: "Yes. It is the real 'Egg of Memories'. I believe that its value to you is more important than the name of where the 'collection' is. You should not Mind you, the 'Real Memory Egg' has always been placed in the Suzuki family art museum."
"Of course I don't mind——!" Natsumi Kasaka opened her eyes wide, "But according to you, wouldn't the Suzuki family discover this problem? In this case..."
"Miss Sonoko is aware of this. She has no objection to this. As for the others, believe me, even if Mr. Kiichi comes to see them in person, he won't be able to tell which ones were made by him." Tang Ze smiled, distantly Pointing to the bag on her waist, "But for me, and for you, 'emotion' can't be deceived, can it?"
What Tangze said was by no means empty talk.
Just like people's attention and long-term cognition can give birth to X-alloy, which can give those ingenious props in the hands of magicians special powers, things like the egg of memories are made with the painstaking efforts of the people who created them, and too many emotions are entrusted to them. The treasures are completely different in Karasawa's current "third eye" vision.
This brings us to the incidental case of a woman who mysteriously lost her memory after committing suicide in a temple.
She may be inconsequential, and the case has no major impact other than creating a bit of urban legend, but her situation sets an example.
Objects like the Egg of Memories, just like the memories that were stripped away with blood and strong regret, can be considered as another "stone of desire" watered by memories and emotions, but it is impossible. It only possesses the terrifying power exerted by the highly condensed version in Karasawa's hands.
What he handed over to Natsumi Kasaka was naturally the body that he held in his arms and acted like a Scoobin, quietly changing places with the secret treasure from the Samkawa Dragon Palace, and replacing the original body.
Although the replica faithfully implemented the rules and was no different from the real egg of memories, in his eyes, it was unique.
Kasaka Natsumi listened blankly and nodded vaguely, but she still fully understood what he wanted to convey.
What he handed over to him was the real egg of memories. The one placed in the Suzuki Museum of Art was the imitation. The eldest lady of the Suzuki family and the owner of the museum knew and acquiesced to this fact...
"Thank you." Natsumi Kasaka grasped the strap of the bag and expressed her gratitude.
Tang Ze shook his head slightly and raised an index finger.
"Shh, you should go thank me, Kaitou Kidd."
"...Yes, you are right, not Mr. Kidd's Phantom Thief."
Kasaka Natsumi left in an excited mood, and within two minutes, a second set of footsteps came over.
"Hey, what's the matter with you? I feel like you've hidden a lot of secrets this time..."
There were only Tang Ze and the visitor at the corner of the corridor, so the other party no longer insisted on imitating other people's voices, but lowered his voice and spoke in a low voice.
"I'm very grateful that you handed the things to Natsumi Kasaka for me, but what about yours...?"
Naturally, the one who came was Kuroba Kaito, who had already disguised himself as Shiratori Rensaburo. What he asked about was the fact that the police came to the door because the Suzuki family called the police.
"That's not what you said when you took those things away." He lowered his voice and expressed confusion, "Didn't you say at that time that the young lady already knew and supported your plan?"
Of course Kuroba Kaito, who had taken those treasures in the dark with his own hands, knew that this statement could not be groundless.
The entire mechanism design of the Suzuki Museum was personally reviewed by Kuroba Kaito. As Kitagawa Yusuke, he gave Suzuki Sonoko a lot of advice. Apart from himself, there may be no other thief in the world who can get these things. .
Therefore, after confirming the location with Karasawa, I found that their display cabinets have been re-modified into devices that use electricity, so that when there is a power outage, the chain buckles are released, and only the original items need to be opened and replaced. When he could easily complete it by leaving, he even felt like he was being played.
Karasawa flies in the night sky as him, facing secret attackers and possible malicious intentions on his behalf, but his mission is just to have a good dinner as Kitagawa Yusuke and take the time to exchange three things for Karasawa...< br>
This is not so much a swap or transaction, but rather an almost deliberate care.
"...You look down on me a little too much, you guy."
Tangze just glanced at him.
"I feel like you are thinking about some sad things. Before you get too moved by yourself, let me say it first. She is indeed aware of it. It was her intention to call the police at this time. After all, Scorpin is among these people. I'm worried that after she seizes the memory egg, she won't stop doing anything. Directly destroy this side. That is a lunatic who only knows how to plunder and regards other people's things as his own. Our purpose is to help Miss Kasaka Natsumi, if she loses even more because she gets back her own treasure. A precious family legacy, that would be a bit inappropriate.”
Tangze swore with his clear memory that he did not spread rumors about Scobin.
Without the Tokyo police's defense, it would be too sinful to turn around and have the Scourge jump over the wall and set the place on fire again.
Kasaka Kiichi is a very good mechanical designer. The castle he built is an extremely important treasure from any perspective. If Karasawa evaluates it, although the egg of memories is important, the value of the castle itself is more important than That's higher.
And retaining its integrity is not only to protect Kasaka Natsumi's property, but also out of his own needs... "Sounds very kind-hearted. I hope you really think so." Kuroba Kaito turned to the side Head, commented, "You guys, you have too many things going around in your heart. Aren't you tired of living like this?"
He didn't believe what Karasawa said. Of course, maybe he wanted to help Natsumi Kasaka, wanted to help him and prevent him from getting hurt, etc., these were all real thoughts, but Karasawa was here There must be other plans behind it.
Tang Ze is not necessarily a planner with rigorous plans in his head. His personality is more like an out-of-the-box artist than an architect. From time to time he will come up with wild ideas, completely regardless of whether they are realistic, but Tang Ze will always work hard for his own plan. Burying a lot of threads, most of them will eventually go in the same direction that is beneficial to him.
Cunning, but not annoyingly cunning.
"Why are you tired?" Tang Ze laughed and replied sincerely, "Only in this way can I feel alive. I like this kind of life very much."
Living itself is a kind of hard work. If it is for pleasure, or for a peaceful and stable environment, the most important thing he should do is to quickly stay away from these whirlpools when he notices them.
And now, be it the organization, the Phantom Thieves, or the endless popcorn heroes... For him, who has long been unable to adapt to a peaceful life, a magnificent future is meaningful.
"...Karasawa, are you and Sonoko planning to move those things out?"
The third person who came to him was Mao Lilan, who had been holding it in for a long time and felt that it would break if he didn't find someone to talk to.
Considering Shinichi's thoughts, she didn't even have the nerve to say hello to Conan in advance. She secretly observed the police and Karasawa several times along the way, fearing that her abnormality would attract others' attention and make the police turn their suspicious eyes to Karasawa or Sonoko.
Okay, it's a bit selfish to think so, but after all, it is Sonoko's own thing.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
If she has any ideas or some secret plan with Tangze, even if it is a bit against the rules, Mao Lilan hopes that her best friend can achieve her goal well.
This is especially true for Tang Ze. Don’t forget that he is still in that troublesome probation period. He cannot arouse other people’s suspicions or let the police misunderstand him...
"'Transfer' or something...that's not the case." Tangze shrugged, hesitated for a moment, and truthfully told his thoughts, "It's just that the ones now in the museum are indeed imitations. ”
This matter, we have to talk about the ability Suzuki Sonoko provided after this rankup.
According to Karasawa's understanding, Suzuki Sonoko's main strengths lie in her character and money. What her coop can offer may be money-related things.
Of course there's nothing wrong with this. It's hard to make a living without money. There is a rich woman's buff that supports the Phantom Thief's actions in disguise. I believe that even if she knew about it, she wouldn't have any objections.
To Karasawa's expectation, the ability Suzuki Sonoko gave this time was actually——
"You said that you can make imitations that will never be discovered by any machine?" Hoshikawa Teru, who was a little surprised when he heard Tang Ze say this, widened his eyes, "Leader, although I have always known that you are outrageous, but it is so outrageous... That's still..."
"That's still a bit too Karasawa." Asai Narimi concluded after hearing their plan.
Tang Ze rolled his eyelids: "It's not something beyond imagination. There are many restrictions on its use..."
"Stop lying." Hoshikawa Teru sneered at Karasawa's ambiguous statement, "Think of us as fools. Yes, this ability is useless when used on collectibles, but if you want to copy other things... …”
Tang Ze smiled and did not object to his guess this time.
Yes, the ability given by Suzuki Sonoko is called, "Money is not everything."
This ability sounds somewhat negative, but its real effect is very amazing.
As long as he is willing to pay the same amount of currency, Tangze can copy all the items he can come into contact with and understand the full picture.
In short, as long as he grabs an object and starts reading, and he really has so much cash or savings on him, it will be copied exactly as it is.
Karasawa guessed that at that time, Suzuki Sonoko had this idea and would extend his ability to this aspect. It was most likely due to his influence. He lamented that a rich family could not satisfy all his regrets, and he had the idea of "what if money is used" It would be great if we could solve these problems."
Indeed, this ability is simply too useless when placed on the Egg of Memories and the treasures that Karasawa really cannot help but pay attention to.
If you could have the same amount of currency, wouldn't it be enough to buy this thing directly? There is no point in spending so much money on a fake that will not be detected.
When it can be placed on other things...
Sometimes, the evidence in a murder case is just some cheap daily items and documents. Unless it has considerable commercial value, it will only be judged as paper with printed words.
Karasawa is roughly equivalent to having a fantasy 3D printer that can copy a perfect forgery as long as he holds something and starts reading the note. After reading the note, Hoshikawa Teru's description is very accurate.
"...If Karasawa wasn't the Phantom Thief of Hearts, the world would really be over."
This was the emotion expressed by Matsuda Jinpei, who felt the lethality of this ability for the first time.
Money can't buy everything, but it can control anything you want. If Tang Ze went in another direction, who knows what would happen.
"Of course that's impossible." To this, Tangze just looked at the "replicas" in his hands and replied.
Of course, such Karasawa would not gain Suzuki Sonoko's friendship, nor would he give up the more convenient means of directly stealing or morally kidnapping others to achieve his goals out of consideration for his friend's position and ideas, let alone gain When this kind of power comes.
The power of friendship and bond has made him what he is today. This is probably the real gift of this world to him.
