Chapter 225 Cold Humor
“A member of the organization who is over 70 years old.” Unlike the two teammates who knew Masuyama Kenzo somewhat, Hoshikawa Teru looked at the old man with a kind smile in the photo for a while and sighed. In one sentence, "At this age, we don't let people retire or anything like that. The organization is really strict."
The two people, holding their mobile phones and thinking hard about the location and content, looked up at him together.
"What's wrong? What did I just say?" Xingchuan Hui shrank his head as he was frightened by their glances.
"Nothing, I was just thinking that the organization would choose him to perform the task. Is it for this reason?" Miyano Akemi curled her lips and said with a hint of ridicule, "Let the 71-year-old man do it. To be a killer and let an 18-year-old be the backup... I can't find any other reason besides catching the investigators off guard."
"It's strange that Pisco would take over this task." Tangze squinted comparing the photos and memories in his hands.
Getting away from the pure audience perspective, reconsider the role of Kenzo Masayama in this mission as the murderer...
I can only say that it has an effect, but not much.
The specific plan for the assassination was already arranged by the organization.
The phone call that would have been monitored by Conan was the one made by Masuyama Kenzo, who had been waiting for Shigehiko Tonguchi, to ask Gin about the situation. This means that Shigehiko Tonguchi was informed in advance of his request. The person he stood at the chosen place of death was definitely not Kenzo Masayama.
Under this premise, the possibility that the mission was planned by him, how much is left?
Since the mission planner is someone else, Kenzo Masuyama actually plays the role of a shooter.
The place of death is chosen, and the way of death is already planned.
Even to remind Pisco, the chain of the chandelier was marked with fluorescent paint, making it easier for him to aim in the dark.
Disregarding the unexpected situation of discovering Shirley later, Pisco did two things in total.
He relies on his social status to sneak into the drinking party, and then raises his hand and shoots in the dark.
…Then he was taken into the photo and exposed on the spot.
Tangze hissed and shook his head in disbelief: "He must have received systematic firearms training, and his accuracy should be pretty good... But you see, Shiho can use a gun, I guess his marksmanship For code members, it may be part of the onboarding training. If you think about it this way, Pisco should be a pretty useless code member.”
But when it comes to this, Ireland becomes strange. .
Being able to discover the relationship between Kudo Shinichi and Conan, it should be said that Ireland's ability is quite good... at least it has surpassed Gin in some aspects, right?
He has the same respect and love for Pisco as his father, and has deep feelings, leading to the premise that Pisco is actually quite good...well...
"At his age, he must be considered worthy in the organization. "A senior-level figure." Miyano Akemi touched her chin and tried to explain from another angle, "Would such a senior-level member kill a middle- and lower-level member..."
"Even if he reaches the senior level, "You can't escape the control of the organization." Xingchuan Hui's eyes were lowered, and the messy shadow of his bangs made his eyes flicker. "Thinking about it this way, it's a bit scary." Tang Ze snorted and analyzed casually. He said: "I don't think he wants to escape. If you look at his background, although at first glance, he is just a lucky person who quickly completed capital accumulation by taking advantage of the trend of economic growth, but you can see that he has made these precise moves. The choice of market segments has not followed the old path of many other Japanese automobile companies, which already illustrates the problem. Without organization, he would not be where he is today.”
“That’s it. A vine parasitic on a huge root system?" Miyano Akemi found a description and tried to describe the character outlined by Karasawa.
"It's parasitism, but also symbiosis. He must be able to reflect many things about the organization... We must go to this palace." Tangze tapped his fingers on the screen of his mobile phone, making a series of regular sounds, "He testified He has learned a lot about the past of the organization, and it seems that he has grown up with the organization. When he was young, he pursued wealth and superficial material enjoyment. When he reached middle age, he began to yearn for power and was no longer satisfied with just being a wealthy businessman...his desires. It will only continue to expand, swallowing up all available resources..."
At this point, Tang Ze suddenly realized and dropped the document in his hand with a bang.
"What will a person like this want when he gets old?" Tangze picked up the phone and stared at the last blank input box.
"I know it's all tacky stuff, just a healthy body, a longer life...oh..." Miyano Akemi also clapped her hands.
"...Huh?" Only Xingchuan Hui, who couldn't wait for the next step, slowly raised his head.
Why do both of them seem to understand something...Did they just say something important?
"Xingchuan." Tangze once again sighed deeply in the tone of an elder, "Although the knowledge in school means so much to you, you have to make up for what you need to make up for in cultural classes... ..."
"Karasawa is talking about why he likes Byzantine-style architecture." Miyano Akemi clicked on the line "Caesar's Manor" on the APP with her fingertips painted with nail polish. , "The Eastern Roman Empire, also known as the Byzantine Empire, is the oldest monarchy in Europe."
"More than that, due to their special military culture and brilliant economic strength, the monarchs of the Eastern Roman Empire They are all relatively long-lived." Karasawa added, "As for what the organization is researching, even if Shiho didn't mention it, you might have guessed by looking at Kudo Shinichi that the temptation of longevity is what Masuyama Kenzo is firmly attracted to. The fundamental reason for being tied to the organizational chariot.”
“Since he is so obsessed with ‘lifespan’, what will he regard as this symbol?” Like a persuasive history teacher, Miyano Akemi. Ask Hoshikawa Teru kindly.
"...Okay, I know I haven't read enough books, so I will make up for my lessons." Xingchuan Hui's head was swollen from their reading, and he raised his hand to stop the two people from teaching on the spot, "Stop showing off now, after all. What is it?"
"Of course it is, 'Ancient Roman Arena'"
[The destination is locked, navigation is starting...]
"Ah. , hit the target." Picking up the phone with the screen glowing red, Tang Ze grinned.
"Looking at him like this, he is trying to compare himself to 'Caesar'..." Miyano Akemi made a snoring sound, "Dictator for life, right?"
"Then he really chose a good position for himself." Thinking of Ireland's distinctive appearance, Tang Ze chuckled twice, "Caesar who died in the assassination, and, after his death, as his heir and adopted son Is it the high-status Octavian?”
Although this metaphor is a bit flattering to them, it is a bit offensive.
This world has a bit of cold humor in it...
