Chapter 456: Tang Ze lost his memory...? (Additional update: But I’m just a light bulb)
“What’s wrong, shade?” Seeing Hoshikawa Teru walking in front suddenly stop, Miyano Akemi approached strangely, “What happened?”< br>
Before Xingchuan Hui could react, Noah, who was standing next to them, first showed an anxious look, and then disappeared out of thin air.
Xingchuan Hui raised his head, the expression on his face had become shocked and panicked.
Miyano Akemi, who was close to his hand, saw the content on his screen, her expression froze, and she immediately became nervous.
"What do you mean, 'I may temporarily lose my memory in the next day, don't worry'? How can I not be worried?" Miyano Akemi raised her eyebrows and ran towards the direction of the vehicle, "He should still be there Near the church, hurry up..."
"Calm down!" Naomi Asai held back the sprinting teammates one by one with one hand, "Don't be impulsive! If the leader really loses his memory, we will be more careful. We can't stop moving, we shouldn't even take the initiative to communicate with him!"
"But..."
"In his amnesia state, if we use the power of the mask, his joker will be destroyed! The form will be exposed to everyone immediately..." Asai Chengmi frowned and shook his head, "It is precisely because he can't remember anything at the moment that we must continue to act. This way, no one will take the Phantom Thief of Heart. Contact him. "
Hearing his cold voice, Miyano Akemi and Hoshikawa Teru stopped, looked at each other, and gritted their teeth.
I have to admit that what Asai Naomi said makes sense. Their identities are sensitive to begin with, and if they come into direct contact with Karasawa, it is likely to arouse greater suspicion.
"Ark has already gone to check, let's wait for news from him... The leader can also send us notification information. This may be part of his plan, and acting rashly will affect his plan. Make sure he doesn't If there are other issues, we can keep an eye on him secretly to ensure that no accidents happen to him in this state," Asai Narumi said clearly, "Without his command, we have to be more vigilant and act cautiously."
After taking a deep breath, the two people who controlled their emotions reluctantly nodded and stood still, waiting for Noah to return to check the situation.
After half a minute of torturous silence, Noah's silver-white robot body reappeared in front of them.
“Leader, it seems something is really wrong.” Noah, with a wrinkled face, said distressedly, “When I passed by, he was carried into the ambulance...”
"Which hospital were you sent to?" Remembering something, Miyano Akemi's eyes lit up and she asked quickly.
As she expected, Noah said that fateful name.
"Mikasa Yakushino Hospital." Noah, who paid attention to the movement of Karasawa's signal, replied decisively.

"Officer Sato..."
"Ah, you are here." Sato Miwako, who had a blanket draped over her shoulders and was looking at the paper cup in her hand, slowly raised her head and looked at the group of people walking along the corridor.
"How is the situation?" The leader, Mouri Kogoro, frowned tightly. "How are Xiaolan, and that boy Karasawa?"
Because there was a shooting at the scene. , two more unconscious injured people appeared. Chief Odagiri, who had the highest position at the scene, immediately asked the police to immediately block all entrances and exits and conduct smoke tests on everyone present at the party - including the police officers themselves.
So the only person who followed the car to the hospital was Sato Miwako, the last witness at the scene when the shooting occurred. By the time the others were able to leave the scene and come to the hospital, more than an hour had passed since the incident.
"There are no external injuries on their bodies, but they are not awake yet." After regaining her composure, Miwako Sato took a breath and led them to the ward at the back. "The doctors asked me to perform another procedure. Check...Thanks to Tang Zejun for your help, I didn’t suffer any harm.”
"Is it okay, Sato? If you are too stressed, go and take a rest first." Police Department Megure looked at the slightly pale complexion of his capable subordinate and tried to suggest.
“No need.” Shaking his head firmly, Sato looked forward, his fingers tightened unconsciously, and the paper cup in his hand was deformed. “It’s just that as a policeman, I have to rely on someone. The child came to the rescue and even harmed the innocent ones...I'm sorry, I should have been more cautious."
They have all noticed the connection between the prisoner and the Ninoho case, and she will become the next target of the gunman. It's almost a sure thing.
If she could be more cautious and not let down her guard because of the chaos of the wedding...
"Don't blame yourself, it's the offender's fault, not yours." Relief He patted her shoulder, and Mumu Shisan walked side by side with her, saying as he walked, "Judging from the current test results on site, no smoke reaction was found. The gunman may have escaped before we sealed the venue. At that time What exactly happened? Do you have much memory of the murderer’s characteristics?”
"As I told you before, Xiaolan and I came out of the bathroom. Tang Zejun was in the men's bathroom opposite. The murderer approached from the corridor. He was tall, wearing a black raincoat, and held a 9mm automatic pistol in his left hand with a silencer. Wearing a gun and a mask, I couldn't see any more features...
"In order to stop him from committing the crime, Tang Zejun got up close and tried to snatch the gun from him. He might be able to see it more clearly. He can wait until he wakes up. Ask him. "Thinking of Karasawa's action of rushing towards the gun without hesitation and knocking the gunman's arm, Sato Miwako couldn't help but smile bitterly, "If Karasawa hadn't made a decisive decision and attacked the opponent without hesitation... I estimate that I would have been injured at least. . "
Hearing her words, Suzuki Sonoko took a small breath and tightened the handbag in her hand, as if she had imagined the critical situation at the scene.
" Point directly at the pistol. Pounce on me..." Mouri Kogoro slapped his forehead helplessly, "This kid Karasawa..."
"He has always been this kind of person, Karasawa-kun. Miwako Sato took a deep breath, "Obviously, we have already suffered such bad things because of our bravery..."
"Sato!" Police Officer Megure's brows twitched, stopping her from saying anything else.
Although people who know Karasawa generally think that there is something fishy about his case... But after all, it is a matter for the police in Kyoto, and it involves the more complicated prosecutor's office, so they can't say much. .
"But this is a fact." Miwako Sato frowned and said firmly, "It's not the first time that Karasawa-kun has done this subconsciously to save others, regardless of his own safety, right? I believe he is a A real good boy."
"You..." Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Megure Shisan shook his head helplessly and motioned to Shiratori and others with his eyes to calm down Sato Miwako's mood. , he slowed down a little, and was level with Mouri Kogoro. Looking at the bright and clean ward in front of him, he sighed in his heart.
For Sato, watching others face danger in order to protect themselves is the last situation she wants to face.
I hope those two children will be fine...

“Xiaolan...”
“Lan, you’re awake, are you okay? ”
After dozens of minutes, Mao Lilan finally woke up leisurely.
With the support of Fei Yingli and Suzuki Sonoko, Mao Lilan, who was sitting on the hospital bed, half-squinted his eyes, as if he couldn't see the things around him clearly, and he was in a daze.
"Sister Xiaolan, sister Xiaolan," calling Mao Lilan's name repeatedly, Conan squeezed his slightly sweaty palms, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
When they When they followed the sound and rushed to the scene with the police officers present, they could only see Karasawa lying motionless on the ground, and Mao Lilan who was unconscious in the arms of Sato Miwako.
The sharp stinging pain that his premonition came true swept through his body in an instant.
He even hooked up with Tang Ze, who promised to help him take care of Xiaolan...
Conan's eyes passed over the figure who was still awake on the other hospital bed, and he felt helpless for a while.
How did two guys who were both outstanding in physical skills be knocked down by the same prisoner...
"Huh?" It seemed that they finally heard them. Mao Lilan, who was extremely slow to react, blinked and turned her confused eyes to Conan who called her repeatedly, "Who are you, little brother." "...Xiaolan!" Suzuki Sonoko held her arm. Trembling, she shook her hand slightly, "You, what's wrong?"
"'Lan'...are you calling me?" shook her head, Shaking away the hazy fog in front of her eyes, Mao Lilan raised her hand and pressed her painful temples, "Who are you?"
Everyone who walked into the ward froze in shock, looking at Mao Lilan who was looking at them with a confused expression on strangers, and didn't know where to start.
"Hmm..."
On the other side of the curtain, there was a rustling sound of fabric. Tangze, who was also temporarily carried into the special care ward to observe the situation, held on to the armrest of the hospital bed. , also slowly sat up.
"Karasawa, are you okay? What happened today, Xiaolan..." Suzuki Sonoko, who was standing between the two hospital beds, quickly turned around and grabbed hold of her eagerly. Karasawa frowned and took a deep breath, hoping to get an answer that would calm his mood a little.
Then she stretched out her hand, but Tang Ze directly avoided it.
"How do you know my name?" Wei Wei tugged at the quilt on his body. Tang Ze looked at the people standing in the ward, frowned, and moved back uncomfortably, "You guys, again Who? "
————
"Huh? Karasawa was attacked at the wedding and temporarily lost his memory?" Amuro repeated the content on the other side in shock. He smoothed his bangs and asked instinctively, "Are you sure he's not acting?"
"...Mr. Fangtani, I wouldn't dare call you without verifying this matter. "Standing secretly on the other side of the corridor in the ward, Kazami Yuya replied helplessly in a lowered voice, "Either he really has lost his memory, or his acting is so similar that we can't tell. No matter what, you can't tell. I need to come and see for myself."
"I'm sorry, I don't mean to question your ability to work. It's just..." Toru Amuro, who had a headache, pressed his temples and said matter-of-factly. , "Karasawa has a very strong ability to deal with attacks in actual combat. Even if I am stronger than him in physical skills, it is almost impossible to subdue him in a short time... He will be successfully attacked by Fuudo Kyosuke. This If you say it, do you believe it?”
"I find it unbelievable, but psychotherapists have all given a diagnosis of degenerative memory disorder... Is this really achieved through pure acting skills?" Kazami Yuya replied hesitantly, "With him The same thing happened to Maori Ran who was attacked together. Maybe Kazato Kyousuke used some special drugs or methods, and maybe Karasawa was infected."
Amuro Toru also speculated on Kazami Yuya. He shook his head in disapproval.
Succumbed? With Karasawa's level of vigilance towards Futo Kyosuke, would he be defenseless against Futo Kyosuke?
However, if you really lose your memory...
Thinking of Karasawa's complicated Russian doll-like identity, Toru Amuro couldn't help but speed up his movements of untying his apron.
You have to go there as soon as possible to confirm the situation.
"I always have a feeling that this kid may have some kind of little Jiujiu, and he has some plans without telling us, and he is pulling off some tricks." Toru Amuro shook his head helplessly, quickly changed into his regular clothes and prepared to skip work. Still couldn't help but asked a few questions with concern, "He doesn't remember anything? Do you still remember his name and identity?"
"Remember." The bug previously installed at Fudo Kyosuke's office came into play. It had an unexpected effect, and Kazami Yuya, who listened to the diagnosis completely, replied, "He remembers his name and his past experiences... He just lost the memory of the few months when he was wrongfully framed and transferred to Tokyo. "
————
"What is the capital of the United States?"
"Washington D.C."
"What is 5 times 8?"
"40..."
"What happened to her?" Instead of continuing to lie on the bed, Like Conan and the others, Karasawa found a chair in the hospital bed and nudged the elementary school student next to him with his knee, "If you do this kind of test... will she lose her memory?"
He was nervously Conan, who was staring at Futo Kyosuke's common sense tests one by one, was shaken by his unexpected push. After steadying himself, he turned to look at him speechlessly.
"As you said, you have lost your memory yourself, okay?" He replied angrily. Conan looked helplessly at Mao Lilan who took the paper handed over by Fuudo Kyousuke and read the words on it carefully, "It's just that she is not there." It's just that serious."
"Yes, didn't you tell me? I lost the memory of leaving Kyoto and coming to Tokyo to go to school." Karasawa shrugged indifferently. , "Although losing memory is also a very bad thing... but if it only lasts for a few months, the impact should not be big, right?"
"How can it not be big..." Suzuki clenched his fists and leaned against the wall. Yuanzi raised his head angrily, with a thin layer of tears in his eyes, as if he was about to cry, "Xiaolan can't even recognize her parents, and neither can you. You have forgotten all of us!"
Clenching the small leather bag in her hand tremblingly, Suzuki Sonoko could hardly control her tears.
How could this happen? I just went to the bathroom in just a few minutes...
It's all her fault. She shouldn't have let Xiaolan go alone. There were so many people at this wedding and the situation was so complicated. How could she let Xiaolan go alone.
Biting her lips, fearing further emotional breakdown, Suzuki Sonoko tried her best to suppress her tears.
Being robbed by her emotional response, Karasawa was stunned, turned his head and observed her for a moment, and a smile arose in Suzuki Sonoko's tearful and surprised gaze.
"Sorry, sorry, what I said just now was so casual, did it make you unhappy?" Tangze tilted his head, slowed down his tone, and replied softly, "It's so sad, it seems like this You and I have become quite familiar with each other over the past few months and have a good relationship...I don't mean to underestimate these relationships."
"...You..." The rising emotions were interrupted by Tang Ze's words. Suzuki Sonoko, who didn't feel like crying anymore, blinked her eyes and seemed a little speechless.
"After I woke up, I was suddenly surrounded by so many people greeting each other. I was quite happy." Karasawa rolled his eyes, "I have lived in Kyoto for a long time, but I have never had any friends... I didn't expect that within a few days of arriving in Tokyo, I made acquaintances. Many good people."
Conan, whose attention was always on Mao Lilan's side, couldn't help but look sideways at Tang Ze when he heard his words.
Although, before the accident, Tang Ze's personality was not much different from now, which was a bit beyond his expectation - he thought that before he was framed by the organization, Tang Ze would be more cheerful or softer. Type——But listening to him talk like this, I somehow felt a sense of peace of mind, "It is indeed Karasawa."
“Since we can become good friends in such a short period of time, even if I forget everything, it’s just to get to know each other again, right?” Tilting his head, Karasawa revealed something that made them feel even more excited. Familiar, friendly smile, "Can you tell me your name again?"
"You are really good at talking, you guy." After a few words from him, Suzuki Sonoko was about to explode. Conan cried so hard that the corners of his mouth and eyebrows twitched twice, "I'm really curious about what it would be like if you were like Sister Xiaolan and forgot your own name."
"...My name is Suzuki Sonoko." Seeing Karasawa's smiling eyes, Suzuki Sonoko hurriedly wiped her moist eyes and turned her back as if to hide it, "Really, if I had to do it over again, you would still have a better relationship with this brat. Okay."
"Well, this kid?" He turned his head and looked at Conan, who was sitting on the chair next to him, his feet unable to reach the ground. He thought for a few seconds and shrugged." I don’t know, maybe it’s because he feels like a peer?”
Under Tang Ze’s penetrating gaze, Conan looked at me. He shrank his neck and glanced at Tang Ze strangely, who didn't look like he was joking.
...Are you even aware of this so keenly? Have you really lost your memory, this guy Karasawa?
"Yes, elementary school student Karasawa." Suzuki Sonoko shook her head, wiped her face embarrassedly, and walked to the drink table on the other side of the ward, "The special care ward here is well maintained. . Do you want tea or coffee? ”
"Coffee." Karasawa and Conan answered in unison.
Is it really okay for primary school students to drink coffee? Tangze looked down at Conan strangely, and seeing no reaction from the others, Tangze thought for a moment, raised a finger, and added.
"Four sugar cubes, thank you."
