Chapter 22 Conan, you don’t want your secret to be known by your classmates, right?
After filling the cup, Karasawa was in a good mood and drank the coffee with Conan’s solemn expression.
Great, finally got some coffee.
A person who stays in a cafe for so many days without even drinking a cup of coffee is this really a beaver? Toru Amuro used the excuse that "children should drink less coffee and sleep better" and was only willing to make hot cocoa for him.
Hmph, it doesn’t matter, if you don’t let him do it, he will come out and drink by himself!
In Conan's eyes, Tangze's cheerfulness turned into a villain's calmness, which made him frown and show an expression that was even more inappropriate for his age: "It's impossible to tell such nonsense." Some people believe it."
"Indeed, all the above are my personal speculations. I have no evidence, but I think someone must be interested in my speculation, right?" Tang Ze said sinisterly. Like a villain threatening the righteous protagonist, he stretched out his hand to the untouched black forest cake in front of Conan, "Don't you want to eat it? Give it to me."
Conan gritted his teeth secretly. Upon hearing what Tang Ze meant, he was talking about Xiaolan...
Damn it, call the doctor immediately when you get back and severely reprimand him for his lax quality control!
Of course the pot does not belong to Dr. Ali, the inventor of black technology. Tangze does not touch pottery casually. He came prepared. He rummaged in his fourth-dimensional pocket for a long time and found several leather pieces. Armbands - perhaps the equipment of Shinjima-senpai. At this moment, Karasawa's right upper arm, under his school uniform jacket, was tightly wearing a row of six armbands, forming a living piece of leather armor.
There is no way, Tangze really doesn't want to challenge the ever-tried anesthesia needle. In the entire Conan, only a hot silver-haired cadre can take one shot of anesthesia without falling down. He thinks that he doesn't have such strong parameters, so he should just keep stacking his armor.
As expected, the anesthesia needle prepared for the exposed nape of his neck failed to penetrate his armor. Karasawa did not faint from the beginning.
"Who said I won't eat it!" With a bit of pique, Conan held down the cake in front of him, picked up a fork, dug out a corner and stuffed it into his mouth, "...So, what do you mean? Let me declare in advance that an accident happened to me now."
"It's not difficult to find out." Karasawa smiled and held his chin, "Kudo Shinichi, you are a very good detective, right? Let's make a deal."
"What do you want to do?" Conan looked back at Tangze's blue eyes with sharp and bright eyes, always feeling that something was wrong.
...Xiaolan also said that Tang Ze has a gentle personality and is easy to get along with. He is obviously a very bad guy!
"I will help you keep your identity a secret, and I can also help you hide your identity in the future. You don't seem to want to be a child, and I can also try my best to help you find a way to change back. In exchange ..." Tang Ze restrained his smile and said solemnly, "You must accept my commission and help me investigate the truth of a case and find all the people related to the case."
A soft cake was felt in his mouth. The stuffed Conan moved his cheeks twice. This was a very tempting offer. He swallowed the food in his mouth and asked vaguely: "What case?"
"Eat slowly, You can order another one if you like." Looking at Conan, whose cheeks were bulging, Tangze pushed the juice to his hand and pointed to himself, "My case."
"Huh?" Conan reacted for a few seconds before opening his eyes in shock and understanding Tangze's subtext.
Karasawa pulled out a piece of paper from his commuting bag and pushed it in front of Conan: "I will compile a list of all the information I know and give it to you. For me, this is already a dead end, but with Kudo Shinichi, maybe there is Find a way to break through and prove my innocence."
Conan looked at the document.
This is clearly Karasawa's "Protection and Observation Punishment Letter".
"Yes, Xiaolan said you are from Kyoto," Karasawa's unaccented speaking made Conan almost realize that he was a Kansai native in front of him, "You are not a transfer here, you are ..."
"Come here to receive probation." Tangze took over his words and slowly put on his melancholy expression, "I am an ex-convict of serious assault."
Conan frowned reflexively.
Tangze may indeed have a bad personality and be a bit shady, but he does not look like someone who would commit violent and vicious crimes. On the contrary, Tangze is even timid when facing some people. , such as Toru Amuro, the waiter in the cafe. ...In this case, it may not be Toru Amuro that he is afraid of, but the supervisor of juvenile delinquents. It's all connected, it's all connected.
Conan, who was logically rational, suddenly realized that he reached for the punishment sheet and read it through again. "It's very strange. This notice doesn't even include the general nature of the case, nor is it signed by the prosecutor's personal signature..."
"I was falsely accused, but I can't do anything. The entire case The whole process has been handled in Kyoto. Now I can't leave Tokyo without the permission of the censorship officer. It's ridiculous, but in fact, I don't even know the name of the plaintiff, so I can't reverse the case." Karasawa put the documents back in his bag and said seriously. Looking at Conan, "But the 'Savior of the Japanese Police' will have a solution, right?"
Conan's brows did not relax. He stared at Tang Ze sharply: "Are you saying that the police and even the prosecutor are involved?"
"So I have no one I can trust. "Tangze began to release the dark state of his poor mentality and said in a soft voice, "I am a victim of this hopeless system. I can only pray that this system Someone else can save me."
"...You just said you would cover for me, right?" Conan turned his head to prevent Tang Ze from seeing the worried look on his face. Tangze was right. His acting skills were very poor and he couldn't hide his emotions at all. "If you think about it carefully, it would be nice to have a helper who lives downstairs. It's too troublesome for a primary school student who can't do anything."
Tangze has obviously lost trust in the legal system. This is a dangerous state that has been pushed to the edge. The detective pursuing justice cannot watch such a person fall before his eyes.
"So you want to accept my commission?" Tangze took back part of it, describing the darkening state as if he was about to take revenge on society. He described it with a comic lens, which probably made his eyes regain their luster.
"...Order another chiffon cake." Conan bit his fork and pretended to be dissatisfied, "This one is too sweet."
Tang Ze laughed and stretched out his hand towards the little detective: "Then, it's a deal. "
"I am you...you are me..."
"Here you get a brand new contract"
"The contract is what is called,"
"Break the shackles in order to gain the wings of freedom"
"I, the first birth of the Death Mask, receive the blessing wind"
"To give you more strength to fly towards the end..."
Wait, wait a minute! What does the Tarot card really mean Death? !
Tang Ze thought about Er Kang's hands tremblingly.
Unfortunately, Leon ignored the earthquake in his pupils, and the interface snapped in front of him with a cracking sound.
