Chapter 490: The Essential Fireworks Reply
"Have you seen the Phantom Thief of Heart?" Conan was slightly startled and turned his head to look at Tangze's expression carefully.
Although he was quite curious about how Tangze would react if he met Joker, it didn't seem like a good thing to have the two of them meet directly.
Conan couldn't help but think of the stories about Huihara Ai and him a few days ago when Tangze was still in a state of amnesia and didn't realize that Haibara Ai and he were both fake children who had become smaller due to the A drug. The outrageous speculation about Yuan Ai’s life experience.
What kind of test-tube baby was created by Karasawa's parents secretly retaining the DNA information of Miyano Shiho's parents? What kind of artificial human was made by Karasawa's parents based on the Miyano family...
Karasawa always seems to like to use a teasing tone to describe his parents' many experiments and theoretical styles that go beyond medical ethics, and he has a self-deprecating taste in hell jokes.
When these weird words are used as hell jokes, they do have a kind of deconstructed humor that makes people laugh, but if they are really put on people...
Joker Zhang and Tang He still remembered the identical lower half of his face.
"Yes, I saw it." Karasawa paused for two seconds and watched the changing expressions on the elementary school students' faces for a while before continuing, "There are quite a lot of people in their Phantom Thieves group, it's quite lively. . It’s a pity that the most famous group leader seemed to be busy with other things, so he just passed me by and left for who knows where.”
Just say Tang Ze. Isn’t that true?
He did meet the Phantom Thieves, and there were indeed quite a few of them. The three of them were still secretly on their way to watch the fireworks.
Conan's slightly nervous expression suddenly collapsed.
But yes, throughout the game, Joker sat next to him and watched the show and chatted with him, so it should be impossible for him to run into Tang Ze.
"Why do you look so disappointed?" Tilting his head, Tang Ze stared at him for a while, "What's the secret again, Detective?"
"What's the secret? "..." He laughed awkwardly, and looking at Tang Ze's increasingly interested look, Conan waved his hand, "I just have some curiosity about the Phantom Thief of Hearts."
"Detective and Phantom Thief? A classic combination." After looking at Conan meaningfully for a while, Karasawa looked away, looking at the darkening sky, and said casually, "But when it comes to contact, I think the Phantom Thieves of the Heart, It must be closely related to my parents’ research. No, it seems a bit arrogant to say so. To be precise, what they are doing is probably what my parents originally wanted to do when they studied this subject.”
"To make people repent? To prevent the occurrence of evil?" Conan blurted out, remembering the speech of the second member of the Phantom Thieves.
Then their scientific research is quite concerned about the country and the people...
"Hey, what is this second grade speech... Although I feel that my dad can really do it. Such living guys." Tangze poked the mini detective's nervous head, "They wouldn't have such specific imagination. After all, until their death, cognitive science has only been limited to the application level. A very narrow field.”
Conan understood what Tang Ze meant.
After all, their research has fallen into the hands of the organization. You can't expect the organization to do anything positive with these technologies. It's a bit contemptuous.
"Develop a method to directly and fundamentally correct personality from the spiritual level and heal people's souls... If they can see someone really applying this technology on the right path, they will probably be very pleased. Yes." Taking a long breath, Tang Ze stared at the darkening sky in the open fields and sighed.
Although this passage contains some performance elements, Tang Ze's emotion is also genuine.
If his parents were still alive, they would have been really happy to see such a group of unfettered Phantom Thieves born out of nowhere... and they would have been so fun to watch that they couldn't stop watching them.
"Technology is not used well where it should be used. This is not a technical fault." Conan, who could only catch Karasawa's elbow with his raised hand, still expressed his comfort firmly. , "Just like Haiyuan, I think she doesn't want her technology to be used for this purpose."
Tang Ze paused, lowered his head and looked at the primary school student who was still unaware of APTX4869's true function, and reflected silently for two seconds.
Oops, because there is a feeling that the true effect of drug A is almost common sense. It seems that I forgot to tell Conan about this problem. I just warned him that if the organization discovers your situation, I don’t know what will happen. What consequences will it bring...
At present, he may really regard APTX4869 as a poison that cannot achieve the experimental effect, so it is used as a poison to silence the artifact.
Forget it, it’s not a big problem. Just go back and let Haiyuan Ai have a breather with him... It just so happened that her research on drug A did make some progress.
But she still has to be patient and don't let her tell Conan that a short-term antidote has been found.
Judging from the frequency with which Conan is in danger, if his standard for taking drugs is "I feel that the danger has become greater and I can solve it", he will almost be able to develop drug resistance before the next generation of products is iterated.
This is also for his own good, taking care of the physical and mental health of minors, right?

“There are more and more people...” Mao Lilan sighed as he sat firmly on the place mat and looked at the festival stalls down the hillside, “ Fortunately, we came in time and secured a seat. If it had been any later, we would have been pushed to the side.”
“If it weren’t for watching the fireworks, there would be no need to come to such a far place for the party. There are still a lot of hot spring hotels." Conan, who was a little bored after yawning, looked at Mouri Kogoro and others who were divided into two groups. The atmosphere still seemed not very pleasant, and shook his head. "It turned out that the location was remote. Good conditions for committing crimes..."
"Fortunately, everything was safe." Mao Lilan, who was sitting upright, recalled Nakamichi Kazushi who gave up on himself after seeing the message from the Phantom Thieves of Hearts and revealed his plan in full. The fingers that grabbed the handbag couldn't help but tighten. Some.
Just think about it, if the Phantom Thieves had not intervened, maybe when they returned to the hotel after happily watching the gorgeous summer night fireworks, what greeted them would be the tragically dead body of Horikoshi Yumi...
"It is really a sad thing that lovers who have been so close before, and have been in love for more than ten years, have to end like this." In the night sky where the fireworks have not yet come, the moonlight is shrouded by a few dark clouds, this unhappy The night made her feel sentimental, "Is the human heart such a terrible thing?"
"It is such a terrible thing, Mr. Lan." Tang Ze's voice sounded from the side, taking over her words, "So, don't test human nature easily. Come, your dumplings."
"...You even went to change clothes." Seeing the dark gray kimono with patterns on Karasawa, Conan felt I was speechless for a while, "Did you go back to the hotel to change?"
"That's too far. There is a place in the market that rents kimonos for tourists, and I borrowed their changing room. I bought it for a long time, but I never had a chance to wear it. How about it? Is it pretty good?"
< br>“You brought the hat yourself too?”
“Ah, that’s not true, I bought this at the market.”
“You...this...”
“Huh?”
"What a strange sense of ritual..."
"Ah, we Kyoto people are like this."
While talking nonsense with Conan casually, choking the elementary school student who had many questions, Karasawa put his hand He placed the lunch box in the middle of the tablecloth, straightened his clothes, and watched from the corner of his eye as a few people sneakily moved next to them in the dark.
Actually, the truth is not that Tang Ze pays attention to his image very coquettishly and changes clothes in a ritualistic way while watching fireworks.
Wouldn’t it be a pity not to come and watch the fireworks when we came here specifically for team building? Last time at Dorobiga Park, in order not to attract the attention of the red party, when Futo Kyosuke was arrested, several people left in a low-key manner and failed to participate in the fireworks celebration that Karasawa and Amuro Toru showed up. This time No matter what, I have to join in the fun.
Several of his teammates were too conspicuous, so Karasawa took them to change into a few kimonos temporarily, so as not to be caught wearing the same hotel yukata by Mouri Kogoro and the others, and their identities would be questioned.
However, when it came time to buy clothes, Miyano Akemi began to strongly urge Karasawa to buy suitable clothes so that when taking photos, the photos would look harmonious.
Actually, she discovered that Karasawa had lived in Kyoto for more than ten years without even a kimono of his own. Thinking of his coming-of-age ceremony that no one would have attended, she couldn't help but feel sad. Karasawa guessed When it comes to what she wants, it's hard to refuse.
Putting his buttocks on the tablecloth, Karasawa slightly blocked Conan's gaze to the side. He watched his three teammates take advantage of the crowd and the dark sky to move quickly around him. Spread out the tablecloth and sit down. This is a clever distance. Tang Ze can reach out and touch them, but it is not too close to attract the attention of Conan and others, and successfully infiltrate Chen Cang.
"Ah, it's time, the performance has begun!" Mao Lilan showed a bright smile and pointed to the other side of the river.
Several silver snakes suddenly lit up in the completely dark night, quickly climbed upwards, and when they climbed to the highest point, they exploded into several golden and red fireballs, covering both sides of the river at once. Ying Liang also made the crowd of spectators shout excitedly.
“Wow!”
“So amazing, so beautiful!”
Conan also couldn’t help but followed Conan who wowed for a while, and in the middle of shouting, he realized that he seemed too I got a little excited, glanced around, cleared my throat uncomfortably, and took out my mobile phone to take pictures of the scenery on the other side as if to hide it.
Tangze looked at the golden fireballs that exploded to the maximum size. At the end of each fire, a circle of small balls exploded in the next moment, like thousands of branches of fire trees. He couldn't help but understand why they had to go to such a special place. Came to watch the festival from a distance.
Without the starry lights of the city at night, the bright fireworks became the only protagonist of the night, making the stars eclipse for a moment.
“Let’s take some photos.” Looking at Noah, who had a round head sticking out from his front, Tangze patted it quietly, “It’s rare that everyone is here and dressed so formally. Fireworks are not bad either.”
Noah raised his head blankly and saw Tang Ze stuffing his cell phone into his two short plush round hands with a smile: “Go ahead, I’m specializing in electricity. It’s full for you, you can do it.”
After saying that, he thoughtfully turned on the camera for Noah so that his short hands would not be inconvenient to operate.
In reality, it is naturally impossible for Noah to have the same ability as in the game space. He can adjust the camera as he wants, take screenshots as he wants, but don’t forget, he looks like a little puppet only as long as a palm, but he is It is a magnetically levitated creature that can lift several kilograms of weight. If you give him your mobile phone, it will be more than enough to briefly act as a drone.
Staring at Karasawa in disbelief for a few seconds to make sure he was not joking, Noah was speechless for a few seconds until a giant firework exploded, and Karasawa urged him She stuffed the phone into his hand again, then slowly hooked Tang Ze's phone and floated upward silently.
Noah, whose body is bound to a brooch, cannot be too far away from Karasawa, but at this crowded market, he can already have an excellent and wide field of vision by rising to a height of two or three meters. The gorgeous night sky on the other side was photographed very clearly.
To prevent his floating from attracting others’ attention, Noah carefully turned off the screen of Tangze’s phone. After thinking about it, he also turned off the shining breathing light on his body and activated the camera. He worked hard and took the photos Tangze wanted.
"Is this considered child labor?" He couldn't help but pay some attention to Noah flying in the sky. Xingchuan Hui came closer and condemned in a low voice, "Today Noah But it’s been a busy day.”
"Ah? Where is the squeeze? Isn't flying up and taking pictures a basic skill for reporters?" Tang Ze teased with an innocent face, spreading his hands, "If you are tired, I think today is a rare opportunity to fully mobilize your physical memory. Isn't he very happy?"
"Huh?" Mao Lilan, who always had a smile on his face, caught some sounds, turned his head and looked at Tang Ze, and said curiously, "What's wrong, Yu? Did you meet someone you met? "
"Oh, they asked me to borrow a tissue," Tang Ze said without changing his face, "Why don't you take some photos, Mr. Lan? Opportunity."
"It would be nice if Conan took the picture for me." Mao Lilan smiled and shook her head, "I'm not very good at taking pictures, and I prefer the pictures you record. Why don't you hurry up. How many photos should I take?”
Tangze, who was working hard with his phone flying above his head, casually replied: “No, I’ll take two photos for Xiao Ai to see. There’s no one else I want to share with.” Over there, just have the photos you took.”
"Those who want to share..." Looking at the fireworks making dazzling tracks in the sky, Mao Lilan rolled her eyes, "It doesn't matter, there are still opportunities to watch together."
The important thing is not A specific photo, but the feeling of being amazed and moved by this beautiful moment at this moment.
Today's fireworks belong to her, her father, Conan, Tang Ze, and those uncles and aunts who have just experienced the ups and downs.
When she wants to share this mood, she will naturally have the opportunity to find their own fireworks.
"Right, Conan?" Mao Lilan narrowed her eyes and smiled at the primary school student who was busy taking pictures with his mobile phone.
"Ah? Ah..." Conan shrank his neck nervously, and he hesitated in response, while his eyes rolled around.
What does Xiaolan mean? Is she suspecting something again?
Could it be that her move of dragging Karasawa to check on Horikoshi Yumi today aroused her suspicion?
Or maybe she just mentioned it casually, without any special meaning...
After looking at Mao Lilan for a moment, his expression was not lonely, and then he looked at the woman who was starting to sweat. As a fake primary school student, Tang Ze exchanged looks with his teammates who heard their conversation, then he suppressed his laughter and sat up straight.
Tangze was not sure if this was the butterfly effect caused by himself, but in short, the current version of Mao Lilan's love brain has indeed eased slightly, and his smart IQ seems to have regained the high ground.
Let us wish Kudo Shinichi good luck.
Don’t worry, he will try his best to help move the liquidation site to the cognitive world, so that even those who are killed or disabled can still work on the spot, which is convenient and fast.
After taking pictures of the scenery for a while, Noah slowly turned half a circle. Remembering Karasawa's instructions, he tried his best to move the direction of the phone and pressed the shutter towards the people sitting on the lawn below. .
At this moment, a new wave of fireworks lit up on the other side of the river. The silvery flames gradually shot up, forming a wave of light.
At the highest point of the fireworks, at the peak of the waves, a brilliant golden light bloomed, illuminating the entire right half of the crowd, setting off a wave of cheers.
So the photo was frozen at this moment.
On Karasawa's right side are the bright fireworks, illuminated by bright fireworks, smiling and applauding Mouri Ran and the still suspicious Conan. Farther away, Mouri Kogoro and his old classmates also look up with relieved expressions. Looking at the meteor-like fire.
To his left are the members of the Phantom Thieves who are still in the darkness, wearing different styles of kimonos, with unmistakable smiles on their slightly blurry faces.
And Karasawa was half bathed in the bright flame shadow, and half hidden in the dark night, as if sitting on the boundary between light and shadow, calmly looking at Noah, who was holding the mobile phone with all his strength, and facing Looking at the camera with a sly smile.
————
“Isn’t this a great shot? It’s quite telling.” Noah, who was holding the battery in one hand and threw himself on the street, looked at the photos he took at night with one hand. He looked at the photo below and said, "Maybe you are quite suitable to be a reporter. After all, you can really fly."
"What does being able to fly have to do with being a reporter? "Standing on the balcony shared with Karasawa's single room, Miyano Akemi couldn't help but pick up Noah, who was too tired to move, and prepared to charge it, "Don't use Noah as some kind of shooting equipment... huh? "
After catching the doll, Miyano Akemi couldn't help but be stunned by the weight. She weighed it again in surprise and said uncertainly: "Can dolls also gain weight? "
"Maybe it's because the cotton has become a little thicker." Tang Ze speculated irresponsibly, "Since the game ended in the afternoon, Noah has felt a lot heavier. He must be almost 300g now... It seems that it is still necessary to use your brain more. Children will grow up easily if they use their brains.”
At the same time, on the other side of the hotel, Conan, who did not dare to be alone in the room with Mao Lilan because of his uneasiness, was also sitting on the balcony of the room, looking at the photos of fireworks he had taken at night, looking at it in confusion. A piece of it was covered inexplicably, so I took a picture of the gapped fireworks.
"What is this? A bird?" Conan, who couldn't see clearly what the obstacle was no matter how much he zoomed in or adjusted, made a confused voice.
