Chapter 955: A feint
"This is indeed a very important thing." Facing the serious Bermod, Karasawa just smiled, "No wonder Keir is so nervous."
Kiel…
After chewing on the code name, Belmode's eyes became colder.
Today, she did not disguise herself as someone familiar to Karasawa. She just dressed up as a young office worker. She used the excuse that Goro Akechi's fans were approaching her. Her mood was more outgoing than before, and she easily showed that she could be attracted by Karasawa. Captured emotions.
Tang Ze curled his lips.
This question is really one that only Belmode can answer.
Except for Gin, whose age is unknown, it is hard to tell how long he has been in the organization. Most of the other codename members in the organization, including Rum, who is no longer young, may not know this matter. clear.
It is known that Sharon Wynyard was already a famous drama actress when Yukiko was Fujimine Yukiko, so at the very least, during her fifty or sixty years as Sharon Wynyard, at least half of her time was exposed What appears to the public does not suddenly appear out of thin air.
So Belmod's age is at least older than Sharon Wynyard's, which means that Rum must be considered a junior in front of her.
The story happened at the funeral of the wealthy Renya Karasuma who "passed" half a century ago. No one should know the possible causes and consequences better than her.
Combined with the information from Tooru Amuro about Belmod's possible true identity, this question becomes more credible.
"I really want to say that this is not something you should inquire about, but as you said, cognition is meaningful and will leave traces. It is impossible to expect you to forget this matter now." Bellmore De took a deep breath and calmed down, "As for your question, my answer is...after."
It was just two simple syllables, but it seemed that she had spent a lot of effort when speaking them out. Even though her true face couldn't be seen through the disguise mask, she could still tell from the sudden tightening of her knuckles. The difficulty.
"This is indeed a very crucial thing." Karasawa took a leisurely sip of coffee. This time, he lowered his voice slightly and said, "My guess is indeed correct."
"...Guess, what kind of guess?" Belmode raised his eyelids, knowing that part of his gesture was intentional. He couldn't help but glare at this guy who was pretending to be leisurely, but he couldn't help but feel relaxed inside.
If Kumail, who is in a similar situation, has any advantage over her, it is that she, who almost grew up in a laboratory, is destined to be a prisoner who cannot escape the shadow, and Kumail's talent is overshadowed by his incompetence. His father's delay caused him to be a transparent person in the organization for several years, so he still had the power to stand in the sun and joke.
As for Belmod himself...
Thinking of this, she stopped the more questions that were about to blurt out, coughed, and stood up in a hurry.
"Okay, I've given you the answer you want, and you've made your request. Is there anything else?"
She is not as "free" as Kumail. If we continue to hear more, not only will the secret itself be exposed, but her excessive mood swings will also arouse the suspicion of the organization.
More importantly, once he learns more about Karasuma Renye, his thoughts may be spied on by others, and then become the trigger for Kumail to be exposed.
It's a good thing for everyone to remain ignorant until they grow up enough to fight against that.
Even when she stood in front of the truth, she could not lift the curtain. The red line she drew firmly trapped her in the darkness and could not be crossed even an inch. It was also a footnote to her ridiculous fate.
"That's all." After drinking the last sip of coffee, before picking up the sandwich next to him, Tang Ze handed over another stack of photos, "Take care of yourself and don't worry about other things."
< br>
This tone sounded like a warning and a sermon, and Belmode frowned upon hearing this.
"What's going on again? Didn't you just say..." She was about to put the photos she took into her briefcase when she saw the first one on top, and she suddenly became quiet.
This was not more secrets or other information about Scobin as she thought, but a very ordinary ten-inch photo.
The first page of photos shows several girls hugging each other with smiles.
Maori Ran, who was holding the Ema high in her hand, was being held by Toyama Kazuha's arm. She seemed to be standing on tiptoes, trying to see clearly what she had written on the wooden sign, while Suzuki Sonoko crossed the crowd and leaned over. Trying to take the thing from Mao Lilan's hand, trying to help her hang the thing on the treetop before her wish was exposed.
The protagonist of the second picture was changed. It was Conan lying on the railing of the cruise ship, saying something seriously. Not far behind him, Mao Lilan, who had a subtle expression, squinted his eyes and looked at the people gathered in a group. A detective curled his lips.
Belmod blinked quickly and flipped through the content at the back, already understanding what Tangze had handed her.
"Did you take this photo in Osaka this time?" Belmod's voice couldn't help but soften.
"Because Scoobin was photographed, it may be helpful to the case, so these photos were developed." Putting the sandwich into his mouth, Tang Ze answered vaguely, "These are insignificant parts, they were originally necessary." Throw away.”
Originally, Tang Ze had no habit of taking photos, but this time he happened to meet Pu Si Qinglan.
Of course, Karasawa, who wanted to trick her, would not miss this opportunity, and because the photographer was either Karasawa or Hoshikawa Teru, it completely prevented Karasawa himself or Goro Akechi from leaving the country, and took away those who had photographed Usuki Qinglan. After this part, it’s just a collection of interesting travel photos.
After checking the contents of the camera, the police returned the private photos to the photographer Karasawa himself.
"Since you said so, I won't say thank you."
"Let's go quickly. I see that your hairline has been wet with cold sweat."
...If you really know, don't ask such a fatal question about this guy.
Give a sweet date a stick and let this shrewd guy climb to the top. Even if he has no ill intentions towards the organization, he will probably become a nightmare for some people.
Belmode glanced sideways at the culprit who caused his embarrassing state, but couldn't help but bring a smile to his lips, waved the photo in his hand, and turned around to leave.
Tangze sat where he was and slowly finished his lunch, the relief on his face disappearing as he chewed.
If everything is as he guessed, then the problem becomes very big.
Just like Karasawa's previous metaphor, before mocking the whimsical nature of the zoo, you should first look at Renya Karasuma. His obsession with Drug A may not be weaker than Zoo's obsession with Pandora. Zoo has more or less his own magic, and Renya Karasuma is a pure Muggle. No matter how big the organization becomes, no matter how powerful Karasuma Renye is, half a century ago, the aging Karasuma Renye who was facing the threat of death was just a richer and more powerful person than other old people. A fragile patient who is unwilling to die is, after all, just an ordinary human being.
Why did he, who did not possess special powers, so firmly believe that there was a medicine that could cure death in the world? Why did he immediately notice the special features of Cognitive Hexology and hold Tang Ze's hand without hesitation? What about the freedom of couples?
Looking at Karasuma Renye's life, as a rich man, he has indeed had smooth sailing, but his family fortune comes from the inheritance of the family and the dividends of the times, not the result of his personal struggle or hard work. At least, his own strength plays a role in it. The effect is very small.
So what is the most legendary part of his life?
It is this mansion that was inherited from his mother, this mansion with an obscure riddle that hides endless wealth and secrets.
Thinking of the scholars who were killed in the mansion, and thinking of the tower spire shining brightly in the black and white photos, Tang Ze narrowed his eyes.
What happened that night? What was the result of that long night full of blood and secrets?
Perhaps only by seeing it with your own eyes can you understand these issues.
"Invitation letter?" As soon as he returned to the stronghold, Karasawa heard the good news, "Did Nanatsuki Koshimizu bring it here?"
"Sent to Koshizui Nanatsuki and Akechi Goro by name." Hoshikawa Teru, who was forced to accompany Koshizui Nantsuki to visit the stronghold, slumped on the sofa and replied feebly, "She said you asked her to pay attention to this Something like that, so I came here as soon as there was news.”
"Send me a pillow if you feel sleepy..." Karasawa muttered and quickly opened the letter, "Then it seems like there is a secret about Karasuma Renya... huh?"
After seeing the handwriting on the letter clearly, the corners of Tang Ze's eyes twitched twice, and his originally relaxed expression instantly turned into speechless.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"What Karasuma Renya, what secret?"
Miyano Akemi, who was very sensitive to this name, suddenly raised her head from the endless Arabic numerals, account numbers, contracts, and income and expenditure flows, and looked at Karasawa with piercing eyes.
"Did you get important information from Belmode? Is there really something very important hidden in that mansion?" Zhu Fu Jingguang also couldn't sit still anymore and quickly came over, stretching his head to look at the money in his hand. Invitation.
Their search for information about the Dusk Annex has not stopped since the last time they came back from the Blue Castle.
Whether it is the precious light in the photo or the letter left by Mr. Zeng of the Mamiya family, it means that Dusk Villa is not that simple, and its meaning is definitely more profound than simply giving wealth.
But perhaps it is for the same reason that this mansion, which has disappeared from public view for many years and gradually faded out of history with the death of Karasuma Renya, the last descendant of the Karasuma family, is as if it has become invisible from a cognitive perspective. No matter how hard they tried to follow the clues, they could never locate the exact location.
Hearing them mention this matter, everyone gathered around curiously.
"It's okay. I'm just happy for nothing." Tang Ze's voice became flat, "I just said, how can such a good thing fall from the sky."
Everyone who came over to look at the invitation was stunned.
Although they didn't make any movement, their eyes all turned around to observe Tang Ze's expression.
Tangze didn't say anything harsh, but anyone who knew him well could tell that his tone was actually very unhappy.
"It's also possible that there were pies in the sky." Staring at the writing above, Tang Ze twitched his lips, "It's just that some stick that was stunned by the pie rushed out and knocked the fallen pie away. .”
Detective Hakuba, Kaitou Kidd, and even Nanatsuki Koshisui as their additions. With such good conditions, why should they enter the Dusk Annex to read?
Damn it, what the hell are the detectives’ requiem songs like? Where is his villa at dusk?
"What's the name of that lunatic? Don't let me find you in the palace. I'm going to beat you up right away..."
"Hey, Karasawa, what's wrong with you...Hey, don't just use the navigation here...! Coffee, coffee is involved!"
————
"Huh? You still want to bring those naughty kids with you?"
Mouri Kogoro, who had happily read the transfer records, looked up and heard the bad news, and his expression was stunned.
Thinking of the noisy group of elementary school students and the mess Conan had made with them on his investigative journey, he instinctively wanted to refuse. He lowered his head and confirmed the amount of the remittance, but couldn't say any words of refusal. .
It was so much money that it even included food, accommodation and round-trip transportation, and it was directly stated that if there were any problems during the trip, the other party would provide transportation.
With this price, this kind of sincerity, and such generous treatment, I really can’t say no to it...
"It is indeed a very strange request." Mao Lilan, who was handling the squeezed letters in the mailbox for his father, nodded, "It wouldn't be strange if we just want us to bring Conan. Conan has had problems with Kidd these past few times. The newspaper may be a little famous, but is the Junior Detective Group...also so famous..."
She thought blankly for a moment.
Well, if you think about it seriously, it seems that it is true and has a bit of fame...
Taking into account the child protection laws, reporters will not show their teeth and claws when facing these children as they would when facing adult detectives. However, when a group of elementary school students solve a case that even adults cannot solve, reporters in Tokyo certainly will not. Let it go.
Therefore, more or less, these children who accepted commissions in the school and were just playing house, did have a certain reputation among nearby residents because they were involved in many incidents.
But that’s about it.
Why would a client who spends a lot of money to hire a detective call a primary school student by name? This is...
"Maybe it's some special, uh, tendency, for example, the kind of rich man who can't have children and wants to see a child or something..."
"Hey, it sounds like you can't take it with you anymore?"
When Conan returned to the office, he heard this discussion and couldn't help but look at them blankly.
