Chapter 508 What the Phantom Thief Can Do
"I can understand your reluctance, little detective."
Joker's voice is still the same tone he is familiar with, with a bit of laziness. It is leisurely and has a calm atmosphere that will not be shaken by anything.
“But justice is not a matter of one or two people. Neither you nor I can represent everyone. Even if we do our best and try our best, there are still some things that cannot be reversed by you or me. "
"Is this really the only result we can pursue?" Standing on the balcony, looking at the bright lights of the police cars reflecting off the snow in the distance, Conan closed his eyes, " The detective can only pursue the mystery, so there is no way to stop the mystery before it happens... I still feel unwilling.”
The occurrence of a murder case is accompanied by more than a simple issue of life and death.
If we only focus on each specific case, the detective who successfully solves the mystery will undoubtedly be the winner of both fame and fortune, but what about the victims?
Even, in some extreme cases, the victim even refers to more than just the deceased.
“This is the limit of detectives. Every new tragedy we see is a continuation of the previous tragedy. All you can do is to do what you do today.”< br>
Touching the window that was fogged by the heating, Tang Ze looked at the approaching police car and calmly comforted him.
Sometimes the conscience is too lively, which is not a good thing. Once the empathy reaches a point where you are unable to stop or restore it, you will inevitably get into trouble and adjust your mentality poorly.
"Don't let it become a footnote to the next tragedy. As for the rest...it's time to let the police do their duty, right? Don't let it become the 'savior of the police' because they call you, You really feel that you are obligated to do anything for them.
"As for the rest of the matter, you have done what you should do, and the next step is the work of the Phantom Thief. "
"Although I know that you want to comfort me to some extent, but is there something wrong with including yourself in this link? You..." Conan, who had relaxed a little, listened to the phone. The person on the other side spoke with confidence, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth twice.
Police and detectives, both of whom appear in murder cases, are very reasonable things, but they naturally regard themselves as chains. Part of...
Should I be called a proud and narcissistic Phantom Thief?
"The reason why we appear is of course because the world needs us. We come in response to everyone's call and give the cycle a new outlet, so of course we are part of this link." Naturally, we recognized it. At this statement, Tangze let out two hearty laughs, "Go and make your notes, savior, it's late at night, and it's time for the monster thieves to appear."
"Hey——!" No. By the time he stopped him, a busy signal for hanging up came from the receiver. Conan, with his half-moon eyes exposed, let out a breath and looked at the screen of the phone that had cut off the call speechlessly, "When can I hear someone finish what he said..."
In the corridor, Haiyuan Ai, who was looking out for him, turned his head and looked at his headache-like expression. He tilted his head in amusement: "Did that Phantom Thief say something shocking again?"< br>
The feeling of being spied on had dissipated after the snow stopped. She relaxed a lot and no longer remained silent in the crowd. She was just a little worried about Tang Ze's situation. .
The organization probably didn't discover her. Pisco, the only one who might have exposed the secret, has been dealt with by the organization itself. Tang Ze has also cleaned up and finished things again. Her shrinkage may still be safe for now.
It's not like he discovered Akai Shuichi. This older cousin has attracted hatred. If his identity is determined, it will not be as simple as a simple chase.
So, the organizational prying eyes she felt today must be aimed at Karasawa and Toru Amuro.
The organization is not a nice place to stay. To gain a foothold here, you have to pay a price.
If possible, she still hopes that the price will be as small as possible.
"I just want to remind him that if we follow this case, we still have to take into account the situation of the victim three years ago. After all, she has been dead for three years. There are many things that they want to investigate clearly. Even they... "After complaining a few times in a low voice, Conan, who was still a little worried, shook his head.
Holding the phone with uncertainty, he couldn't help but turn on the Phantom Thief channel and refreshed it several times despite the poor signal in the remote location.
Based on his understanding of this strange thief's resolute and resolute style, basically by the time he takes the initiative to tell you, the matter has basically been settled and irreversible.
At least, they have to wait until the news about Sundoshi heats up the whole incident before their actions can be effective, right? Conan pondered uncertainly.
While the two fake primary school students upstairs were thinking about their own thoughts, downstairs, the belated police officers had already entered the villa.
Of course, Karasawa didn't just hang up on Conan just to let him feel the danger of the Phantom Thieves.
The main reason is that the police car's siren is approaching, and if you don't hang up, it will be transmitted into the microphone.
The primary school student who was secretly making phone calls looked down and saw him talking on the phone in the same sneaky way. Isn’t the scene very embarrassing?
"...We meet again." Looking at Memu Shisan standing in front of them with his arms folded and a straight face, Tang Ze raised his hand and smiled kindly, "I didn't expect it to be so far away. You are still responsible for the place. It’s really hard to work so late.”
Mumu Shisan took a deep breath and exhaled deeply. He watched his subordinates file into the corridor and put the two bodies covered with white cloth. The body was put into a bag and carried away, feeling deep fatigue.
Especially after seeing Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan walking down the stairs behind them, as well as more familiar faces, he felt that the bags under his eyes were a little heavier.
"Since everyone is familiar with the process, I won't talk nonsense." With a Buddhist mentality, Mu Mu Shisan waved his hand, "Let's go, it's time to take notes."
The original team was freshly prepared, with only two less passengers who did not come to ski and the driver of the bus than at noon.
We should detain them for a while longer to prevent them from running out to ski.
Although this group of people are not actually the perpetrators of the case, but are just detectives involved in the case who encountered the case again, they still inevitably spent a lot of gas money inexplicably and encountered another murder. It was very The feeling of losing money.
————
“You’re moving very quickly, Mr. Mori.” As soon as he opened the newspaper, Karasawa smiled, “He rushed back to the city from the ski resort and took notes. Where did you write the report? Is this the professionalism of media people?"
The front page of the newspaper in his hand was a report about the murder that occurred at the ski resort last night.
Because it was involved in the case three years ago, Suntons spent a lot of pen and ink, focusing on describing the whole story of this strange suicide case that he had participated in the investigation. The entire report was very long and included many pictures. .
Perhaps it was Toru Amuro's deliberate request, or perhaps it was Mori Atoshi's personal emotions. In short, Toru Amuro himself, who was mainly involved in solving this case, did not appear in any of the accompanying pictures.
Instead, there was a photo of Akechi Goro the size of a tofu cube, which was barely used as a quote explaining the identity of the detective in this incident. "Those who didn't know thought it was Goro Akechi who did it." Sitting opposite him, the elementary school student who had come to have breakfast early in the morning reached out and picked up Goro Akechi's bright and sunny smile on the newspaper and curled his lips.
He thought that Mori Atoshi, who could brave the snowstorm and run into the villa alone to investigate old cases and never forget Mochizuki Minako, who died of unknown causes, although his personality was a bit annoying, was more or less He is considered an upright media person.
Now it seems that I am in the same style as those people. I just pick whatever is explosive or eye-catching.
"That's fine. Mr. Amuro doesn't like to be very high-profile. He opened this office with the intention of assisting Akechi in his detective work... He will definitely not mind." He glanced at the bar counter. Direction, Karasawa shrugged.
After encountering a murder and encountering a psychotic colleague who had the courage to stay in the snowstorm, Toru Amuro had a lot of work to do.
Being dragged back to the city overnight, he had to explain the situation to the police as a detective and complete the transcript, which left him even more limited time to deal with related matters, so today was a rare day of absence for him.
"Hey, from the look on Mr. Amuro's face, I thought he also liked detective work." After receiving this unexpected answer, Conan touched his chin.
"He does not hate doing detective work, and he is capable of doing it, but he is not a child anymore and does not like to be in the limelight." When saying this, Karasawa's aggressiveness clearly reflected from the newspaper He raised his eyes and glanced at Conan, who was sitting across from him also holding a newspaper.
The famous detective who was often reported in the newspaper was suddenly hacked: "..."
"I don't like to be in the limelight. I just participated in the investigation of the case normally!" After being speechless for a moment, Conan protested, "There are other media reports. It can only be said that it is the attention effect caused by the case itself, not me. On purpose.”
It’s okay to lie to your friends, but don’t lie to yourself.
What is it like to be a teenage high school student? It’s not like Karasawa has never been a teenager, so can he still not know?
Even the teenage Rei Fangya may not be any better than the bratty high school student in front of him.
"Detective is not a safe job. If you could have Mr. Amuro's low-key awareness, your identity would not be exposed all of a sudden when Gin discovered you. Maybe he would have kept it when he knocked you. A little bit forceful.”
Easily choking Conan across from him, Tang Ze shook his head and started reading the contents of the newspaper again.
As he said, in this case, the person whose shadow can be found on the subway is not the murderer Koko Yonehara himself. It should be said that Koko Yonehara is the most conscientious one in this case.
Among the remaining two survivors, only Ryuichi Sakai was able to find the corresponding shadow in the subway. They completed the torture overnight, oh no, the righteous soul correction work, and did not get much information.
Thinking about it, Ryuichi Sakai is a physical education teacher. If he had the ability to get involved in this matter, he might have been another victim of Yonehara Koko, and how could he survive.
Suntonshi's detailed report on what happened three years ago is also an important breakthrough for them. It is necessary to go through the names one by one and try it out.
"This matter has been discussed very hotly on the Internet..." The elementary school student who anxiously browsed the Phantom Thieves channel all night opened his SNS and took a look, and immediately saw the hot trends in the search topic.
Tang Ze pursed his lips and smiled, glanced at the frowning and thoughtful primary school student, and said nothing.
With Noah here, it is very simple to artificially heat up topics by simply controlling today's news feed and replacing some popular content.
Noah is still monitoring related topics. He will continue to capture keywords and names from discussions, trying to find a breakthrough in the entire chain of events.
Noah is still accelerating the intensity of the discussion. Since the end of the last Noah Theater, his ability to absorb human emotions has obviously improved to a higher level. Now he is trying to display users with conflicting views next to each other. , trying to trigger a larger discussion and dispute.
This is the power of big data and artificial intelligence, it’s really scary.
However, I believe that soon, the discussion of the incident will naturally reach a higher level.
Because, Ryuichi Sakai’s confession video has been successfully uploaded and will soon be promoted to everywhere through Noah’s hands.
————
“The Phantom Thieves of the Heart…”
Almost as soon as he got the report, Fangtani Rei rubbed his eyelids that were particularly sore from not sleeping a night and let out a sigh.
Too familiar, a little too familiar, this operation feels topical.
I don’t know if the original operation of the Zero Group served as a demonstration. The Phantom Thieves of the Heart’s awareness of using social platforms to obtain information and control the spread of news has obviously reached a higher level.
Perhaps during that confrontation, their huge defeat revealed to the other party that the technology in the hands of the Phantom Thieves was actually far ahead of the existing information technology. With Noah, After receiving this huge help from Ark, their actions could be described as unscrupulous.
Kazemi Yuya also rubbed his numb eyes, then silently moved the information related to Ireland on the whiteboard and placed the photos of Sakai Ryuichi and others.
"Should we do it at the same time, regarding the tracking of the Phantom Thieves, and the true identity of Ireland..." Yuya Kazami looked at Rei Fukiya inquiringly.
"Prioritize the issue of Ireland. The impact of this incident is already expanding." After a few seconds of reflection, he gave the answer.
After exhaling, remembering the way Karasawa grabbed his arm and said with a sullen face that if there were some things he didn’t say now, there would be no chance to say them out. Rei Fukutani lowered his eyes and looked at the screen in front of him, Sakai. Long Yi's face was filled with tears and he turned his head away.
“Let’s talk about the information we have about Ireland so far. Feng Jian, have you checked the traffic situation along the bus route yesterday?”
“People have been arranged to find where he was staying. The location is sparsely populated near the ski resort. Unless he walks up the mountain, the traces of vehicles should be very obvious..."
... Let’s talk about something outrageous. Because Ireland is called Ireland, it was censored and had to delete a paragraph []
Ah, it seems that it is not a problem with Ireland, but a problem with Europe, ah, this, this, this< br>
Okay
