Chapter 292 The Detective's Answer
Turn right out of Dr. Agasa's house, past Kudo's house, and you will find Joker's residence. This should be a very short road.
But worried that Haibara and Karasawa might notice his movements, Conan finally chose to take a long detour and walked from the other end of the street to No. 22 where "Amamiya House" was hung.
So when he knocked on the neighbor's door, Tang Ze stood at the door to greet him, his mood was hard to describe.
Do these detectives have to make so many twists and turns in their minds and compete with the air?
He originally wanted to ask Xingchuan or Sister Mingmei to open the door to pick up people first, and then climb over the wall to change clothes later, but he saw Conan walking out of the door, then turned left without hesitation, and started to take a detour...< br>
I don’t understand you detectives very well.
The Onion Man, who also has a detective title on his head, sneered unconsciously and led Conan towards the living room: "It seems that you have received my gift. Do you like it?"
"...The things you gave are too valuable." Feeling the weight of the schoolbag falling heavily on his shoulders, Conan replied with complicated emotions.
Even without discussing how this book came about, if the first edition of "A Study in Scarlet" had gone through a regular auction, he would be carrying hundreds of thousands of pounds on his back now.
What's more, the symbol and commemorative value it represents are difficult to estimate even with money.
"It seems that the answer is that I like it very much? That's good."
Following joker into the living room and sitting down on the sofa, Conan's eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of the corridor.
"What's wrong? Are you curious about my house?" Tangze stood up and went to get a drink from the refrigerator. Tangze looked in the direction of his gaze and raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, I seem to have only been to your reception room and war room. Well, I have only been to the war room once..." Conan said frankly.
"That's the war room of our Phantom Thieves. It's an internal facility. It's good to show it to you once. Don't push yourself too far, detective." Putting the cold coffee on Conan's forehead, Karasawa blocked his view and walked to sit opposite. Next, "At this time, you ran to Haiyuan first, and then came to me. It seems that you have something very important to tell me."
Conan, whose whereabouts were revealed, was silent for a moment, knowing His action route in a large circle must not have escaped the joker's eyes. He changed the subject and said: "You are really staring over there all the time..."
"If I don't stare, there will be other things. People are staring at it. "They have a high-power telescope upstairs. How can I put it? It's very like a Serang family. "What about you, did you find the results you wanted from her? "
"I have some preliminary ideas." Opening the ring of the can, Conan touched the cold water droplets on its surface, calmed down, and began to say, "When I first heard your name, I I’m curious, why on earth do you call yourself the ‘Phantom Thief’?”
Karasawa also opened a bottle of soda for himself and stopped pouring the drink into his mouth.
It's indeed quite smart. Conan caught the core issue right away.
The Phantom Thieves of the Heart... In fact, it can be regarded as a name with the answer written on the face of the riddle.
They are really Phantom Thieves, and they are really "heart-stealers", a kind of physical psychologist. It's just that I can't see people who understand the world, so it's hard to imagine what this operation is.
"Especially the issue of the notice letter." Conan pouted as he thought of the photocopy of the notice letter he saw for the first time in Kogoro Mori's fax machine. , "The tone is also very mysterious, and the style of conduct is also very high-profile. Obviously what you do is completely different from those thieves who target high-value works of art and other property, but you still want to call yourself a monster thief... This troubles me. Not a short time.”
Tangze chuckled twice: "You have a very flexible mind, detective."
"After seeing several of your actions, I discovered that you have never sent any messages to some targets. The notice letter has achieved a similar effect. If the purpose of the notice letter is to become famous in a high-profile manner, then why are there cases like "Kimura Tatsuya" and "Tomizawa Tetsuji" who are famous band singers? , one is the head of a conglomerate who is not inferior to the Suzuki Consortium, and is far more famous than the people you have sent notice letters to, and is more likely to cause a sensation
"So, my guess is that you are not picking targets. Send a notice letter, but the conditions of the target itself dictate that you must declare 'theft', otherwise you will not be able to achieve your goal. "
Tangze bent his eyes and smiled, nodded and admitted: "You are right, at some point, 'declaration' is a necessary step. ”
The detective who got a small point also smiled and took another sip of coffee to calm down.
"I have summarized some patterns of your actions, but I still have many questions about the name 'Phantom Thief of the Heart'." Picking up his priceless schoolbag, Conan patted the heavy bag and continued, "Until After receiving this book... I feel that I have touched the door to the truth."
"I'm very confident, Detective-kun. It seems that Haiyuan told you something important?" Tang Ze lowered his voice. One eyebrow made a funny expression.
Not to mention, Tang Ze was also very curious about how Conan speculated and imagined.
The Phantom Thief of Heart is not materialistic after all. It is a difficult task to find an explanation for it using logic and scientific thinking.
"I asked her for verification, and combined with the content I got, I think so." Holding the schoolbag in his arms, Conan put on a classic thinking pose and began to tell his summary He came up with the idea, "More than ten years ago, Tang Ze's parents were conducting cognitive research. This kind of research was discovered and used by the organization, and it began to transform from theory to practical application. During this period, the organization developed many Special drugs related to brain science, psychiatry and other fields, and have greater ambitions..."
Reasonable and very practical speculation.
Except for the impact of weird extraterrestrial objects like the broken Holy Grail, Conan's statement is basically correct.
So Tang Ze nodded again, encouraging him to continue.
“I have never understood that organizations are looking for top programmers, and they will go through the game development field like Mantiantian. Why are leading companies collecting lists? Do they want to make big games? Even if they really want to make big games, there must be an ulterior motive." Conan stared at the news page he found in Izu for a while and showed the content to Karasawa, "Contact 'Cocoon', contact the organization's research, contact the book you gave me... I started thinking, Does the organization want to gain the power you have from it?"
Tang Ze was stunned by what he said.
"Brain science, neurology, psychiatry, psychology, plus cutting-edge computer science. If the intersection of these contents is the research discipline of Tangze's parents, then your power, the power the organization wants to gain, will be It should be something like this, right?”
Conan flipped to the front of the mobile phone screen, which was a news video of the upcoming press conference of the epoch-making new virtual game console "Cocoon" in Tokyo.
In the video, Thomas Sindora stood in the spotlight and announced the launch of the company's new product with great pride.
"'...It is an unimaginable miracle that can control people's five senses and allow people to experience a world that is completely consistent with reality in the game! Everyone, it will bring you perfect virtual reality, even beyond reality The experience. I can't describe it in words. Just imagine, just lying in a 'cocoon', you can go anywhere in the world, you can go back to the ancient past, go to the infinite future, you can Obtain precious treasures and live an ideal life. If movies extend our lives three times, then 'cocoon' will reshape your life. Its boundaries are the boundaries of human wisdom and imagination. This is not an individual. The second period of life, my friends, this is the new life of human civilization...'"
