Chapter 532 Darkness and Moonlight
“You asked Uncle Otaki to pick me up, that’s too troublesome.”
“Hahaha, it’s okay, it’s okay, He Ye came here specifically to ask for help. "I'm sorry."
"You really like to instruct the police..."
"I'm sorry, don't you also use a police car to take people on tours?"
"Okay, okay, don't bother you two..."
Looking at the three boys who had been mumbling all the way out of the car, and Otaki who came to pick them up in a spacious SUV. When the police officer and others met, Yusuke Sakata loosened his grip on the steering wheel and let out a breath.
At this moment, he realized that there was a layer of sweat on his palms.
On the short journey from the library to the police station, during the unclear conversations between the three people, he was under great mental pressure, until he finally relaxed completely.
The work after that will be much simpler. All you have to do is wait for Hattori Heiji to come out, provide you with a proof of your itinerary, and then rush to the home of the Goji Councilor...
"Dong dong dong..."
Just for a moment when his mind relaxed, there was a regular knocking sound from the car window.
Sakata Yusuke turned his head and met a pair of red eyes.
Those eyes were very close, almost flat against his car window, at the same level as his eyes. A strange flowing luster was rotating in them, like a pair of small vortex.
Sakata Yusuke couldn't help but feel horrified. If he hadn't already put the gear in gear and put down the handbrake, he might have stepped on the accelerator in fear.
"Mr. Sakata, please open the car door." The young man almost pressed his face against the car glass and laughed, "You are going to be arrested soon, hurry up."
His voice was heard through the laminated glass, It is suffocating and blurry, making people unable to help but feel as if they have become an ornamental fish in a fish tank.
Sakata Yusuke was horrified. Under the gaze of those eyes, he instinctively followed his request and pressed the unlock button.
"Thank you."
The next moment, the sound of the door closing was heard in the back seat, the mechanical structure re-rotated and closed tightly, and the white-haired boy took his seat in the back row.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Sakata Yusuke. Maybe you have heard of me, maybe not, but it doesn't matter." Arranging his scarf slowly, Karasawa smiled, "Your plan has been discovered, and you want to continue to complete it. I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to get my revenge.”
Sakata Yusuke turned his head and wanted to take a closer look at this guy who got into the car for no reason, but he saw the other person raised his hand and motioned for him to observe his surroundings first. environment.
Officer Otaki, who was talking to Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuba, got closer to the car as he talked.
Not far away, at the police station where police cars are parked, several police officers were lingering beside several cars.
At the main entrance of the police station, the electric fence gate is closing little by little...
This is not a normal phenomenon and can only mean one thing.
They were taking advantage of their lowered vigilance to try to surround him while he was still sitting in the car.
"Let's go, Officer Sakata." Without any sense of being an uninvited guest, Karasawa raised his legs and lay down directly in the back of the car. His tone was still so leisurely, "This is the car you use. Did you transport Anno and Kazuto to Shinsaibashi? The car was chosen well, it’s really spacious.”
Sakata Yusuke trembled, gritted his teeth, and used all his driving experience. Speed completed the starting steps, kicked the accelerator, and sprinted towards the door of the police station with all his strength.
“He’s running away!”
"Damn it, the roadblocks haven't been put down yet... close the door, close it quickly!"
"Follow me, Uncle Otaki!"
Following his actions, the originally quiet police station suddenly became agitated. Like an explosion, a group of policemen rushed out noisily, but the car that had already accelerated quickly drove out of the main entrance of the police station and sped along the road.
With his heart beating violently, Sakata observed all the movements through the rearview mirror. He saw Karasawa lying in the back seat and gritted his teeth: "Who are you and what is your purpose?"< br>
This guy who suddenly appeared was so agile, fast, and extremely weird that he didn't attract anyone else's attention.
Now, the other person was lying down peacefully in the back row. No matter how the people chasing behind him looked, they probably wouldn't realize that there was another person in his car.
"Does it matter who I am? What matters is you, the murderer who is about to be arrested. Don't think about taking the opportunity to find the position of the Township Secretary. The moment you were exposed, the photo was still there Anyone who is alive will become the object of protection, and it is impossible to kill him." Tang Zeshi, who really caused this situation, said calmly and crossed one of his legs, "So you only have the last option. That's my goal. Where did you hide Numagachi? "
"Hey, can't you put us down first and then chase them? "Toyama Kazuha, who almost fell into a ball as the vehicle swerved, grabbed the back of the seat in front of him and shouted.
"It's too late, this guy escaped so fast!" Otaki, who was sitting in the driving position, took out the siren and stretched out his hand to stick it on the roof of the car. "I'm sorry, everyone, the situation is urgent. Heiji ! Councilor Goji, have you made arrangements?"
"Well, the police have found and taken away Sotaro Goji." He grabbed the seat cushion of his car. Hattori Heiji, who had his head in the front row, answered firmly.
"He's driving so fast. Isn't this guy a policeman?" He stretched out his hand and grabbed the armrest in the car to maintain his balance. Mouri Kogoro looked at the speeding vehicles in front of him and couldn't help but said, "If you don't say anything, , I almost thought he was a racing driver!"
"His father Tetsuji Inaba is a well-known driving school instructor, and his driving skills are very good, which is normal. "In Tang Dynasty. Hattori Heiji, who had basically figured out the cause and effect under Sawa's ruthless spoilers, instinctively reasoned, "There must be something fishy about the car accident back then, and Sakata was able to use his identity as a police officer to quickly approach these victims without raising questions from others. Damn it.”
The police who should be standing in front, upholding justice and protecting others, have become the murderer’s best protective color...
Does this guy still remember that he is facing the murderer? The oath made to the cherry blossom emblem!
"Compared to this, Tang Ze, Tang Ze is still in the police station!" Mao Lilan shouted as he grabbed Conan who was being shaken around.
At this time, Hattori Heiji, who realized that someone was missing, paused and turned his head to look: "Huh? Why did he run to the police station?"
"Didn't he just say that he was going to the bathroom? What!" Mao Lilan felt helpless.
When these detectives were immersed in the case, they were so focused and moved forward courageously that it reminded her of a lot of shopping. The guy next to her threw his bag towards her and headed towards the case. The moment of sprinting away.
This is really, exactly the same...
"Why at this time...forget it, it's better to stay in the police station, at least it's safe." No matter how hard I recall, I can't remember such a paragraph. Hattori Heiji frowned.
He also did not expect that as the de facto first investigator of this case, Karasawa could suddenly escape at the critical moment of making the arrest...
Officer Otaki did not know what they were discussing. Direction, follow the car in front, observe the other party's movements, frown: "This is not the way to Goji's house. Where is Sakata going?"
"Maybe he sensed that the matter was exposed, Prepare to take the opportunity to escape. Be careful not to lose it!”

“…What kind of strange ritual is this?”
Curacao, who came back, was very confused when he saw Goro Akechi placing the opened jar in front of Kiichiro Numabuchi.
The chanting-like recitation just now may be related to the other party's special ability. Although the scene is really weird, she can still convince herself.
But, setting fireflies on a guy who is doomed to die soon...
And where did he get it from? What exactly is in his suitcase?
Xingchuan Hui smiled, watching those glowing bugs flying up in the small space that was dim, old and exuding the smell of rotting wood. The fluorescent green light slightly illuminated the gray air around him. Nothing was explained.
Regardless of whether Kiichiro Numabuchi is a pitiful or hateful guy, when a person is about to die, some things are easy to do anyway, and if they are not done, it will be a wish.
Of course this is what Karasawa meant. "Moreover, his mind has been destroyed by the interference device, and he can't understand at all... huh?" Turning his head and looking around, Curacao paused at the words in his mouth.
Numabuchi Kiichiro, who had a silly expression and should have lost all reaction to the outside world, looked at the fireflies in front of him, and miraculously, he suddenly raised his hand.
It was naturally impossible for him to catch the flying bugs with his slow movements. The streams of light just passed by his dirty hands and quickly flew out of his reach.
Numabuchi Kiichiro still maintained this action, staring blankly at the weak fluorescent light without any other reaction.
Curaçao glanced at Goro Akechi’s profile in shock.
His memory and spirit should have been destroyed by the violent impact, and he could only retain some instinctive reactions to survive.
How did Kumail do it, awakening the only sanity of this guy in this state...
"I'm leaving." Hoshikawa Teru finished the last step and patted it clean. With dust on his gloves, he stood up and said, "Those police and detectives will probably come here soon. Don't forget that you agreed to my request."
"...Of course I won't forget it." Curacao's eyes darkened, he took a step back and hid deeper into the darkness.
If Goro Akechi asked her to kill someone for him, she would still be hesitant about whether to agree and worry about whether it would conflict with Rum's request.
But some of them were incapable of killing, and they were just tranquilizer bombs that left a few pinholes for these guys. She didn't have any burden in her heart.
"That's good." Before stepping out of the cramped attic of the wooden house, Xingchuan Hui raised his hand and threw a box at her.
Curaçao, who wanted to hide for a while, used the faint light of fireflies to see clearly what was thrown at him, and couldn't help but reach out to catch it.
This is a transparent plastic box. Two oval white pills collide with each other inside, making a small sound.
"The antidote of KA03 has an effect on all KA drugs. I can't use it, you can decide for yourself."
When she turned her head again, Xingchuan Hui, who was walking steadily, was already there He strode far away, walking out of the dim wooden house full of musty and turbid smell, and walked into the refreshing sunshine of the afternoon in the mountains.
Walking forward without looking back, Xingchuan Hui recalled the environment just now, and his mood was a little strange.
Logically speaking, he should be very resistant to a dark space like this, this kind of isolation from the world, where no second person would come.
Shigehiko Tonkou is not an easy person to get along with. The gap between the affinity he pretends to be external and himself is just like the image gap between Hoshikawa Teru and Akechi Goro.
So whenever he leaves the public eye and the sight of his wife and father-in-law who have high demands on him, his violent nature will open and pour out crazily.
As for Hayato Hayato, this child who cannot see the light is like an insignificant accessory to him. Even if he kills him, no third person will notice.
Hungry and cold, with lingering severe pain from the wounds on his body, being locked in a dark, small space where he could not even feel the passage of time, it once became Xingchuan Hui's most terrifying nightmare.
However, now, standing in such a cell, he is so calm and thinking clearly...
Has everything in the past really been left behind by him? Xingchuan Hui did not dare to assert.
Just looking at his experience during this period, it seems that he has fallen into darkness again, lost his identity, and become the shadow of others.
But now, he is who he is, and Xingchuan Hui is Xingchuan Hui. Any shackles placed on him can no longer restrain his freedom. Every decision he makes is of his own will. choice.
The corners of Xingchuan Hui's lips curled up, and the golden light in Xingchuan Hui's eyes lit up again, and he stepped out towards the shadow of the tree that blocked the sky.
Consideringly, disappearing into the darkness.

Lying on his back in the back seat of Yusuke Sakata’s car, Karasawa opened his eyes wide when he heard the familiar sound effects in his ears.
【rankup! Rank2]
[Acquired ability: Endurance lv2 (moderate decrease in pain perception)]
[Born in darkness, growing up in darkness, destined to miss the light, a life that will be quietly annihilated in the darkness , taking steps forward again and again, heading in a new direction.
You don't think this is your credit, and you are not even sure whether he is following you or some kind of ideal self and future in his own fantasy.
But the darkness that has been illuminated has revealed its true appearance... akira means light.
A new moon rose in the deepest darkness. 】
Just after Lyon's recital-like cadence ended, Xingchuan Hui's voice rang out from the earphones that had been silent for a long time.
"My mission is accomplished, leader."
His voice sounded very light, perhaps because the performance was finally over, and it was even more relaxed than before.
Looking at the back of Sakata Yusuke's sweaty head, Karasawa, who was unable to speak directly for the time being, took out his mobile phone and started sending a message.
"Don't worry, I have entered the cognitive world, Curacao will not find me. Sister Mingmei has already taken care of it, right? How long will it take for you to arrive?"
This situation doesn't sound like there has been any change, right? Why did such a good person suddenly become unlucky?
Tang Ze stared at his teammates list for a moment, but couldn't get an answer, so he had to shake his head.
Forget it, maybe I saw the beautiful scenery of nature and suddenly realized it while walking... There is no need to be so clear about coop.
After replying "right away", looking at the vehicle that had already entered the rugged mountain road, Tang Ze finally stood up from the back seat and put his head to the front seat.
"It's a pity, officer. Your identity has been exposed, and it is impossible to make the last enemy pay the price." He took out the mysterious style that joker often used. In a low tone, Karasawa spoke slowly, "Are you unwilling to fail because of your failure, sir?"
"...I know who you are. You are the Phantom Thief of Hearts who is active in Tokyo. ." Looking ahead, Sakata Yusuke drove on this road that he had traveled many times, and his tone had completely calmed down, "You followed Detective Mori to Osaka?"
If it weren't for this guy's main... The active areas are all in Kanto, he should have thought of it a long time ago.
A strange thief who was born out of nowhere, does things his own way, and likes to chase after detectives and make bigger news...
Besides this guy, he really can't think of any other conspicuous white hair that might appear around.
"It seems that all my efforts during this period are not in vain?" Karasawa chuckled twice, and quickly got to the point, "The case committed by Numabuchi Kiichiro was of a bad nature and had an impact on It's very important. He is a murderer who is destined to die. The only revenge you have yet to complete is Sotaro Goji. Do you want to make up for this regret?" br>
"What, can you help me kill that bastard?" With a cold snort, Sakata Yusuke asked back unhappily.
“Of course not, the Phantom Thief would not do such an inelegant thing. However, if you just want the other party to be ruined, lose his current status, and pay the price for what you have done...then there is still a possibility. There's a way." Like magic, Tang Ze stretched out his fisted hand and then opened it.
A silver USB flash drive hanging on the pendant fell down and swayed with the bumps of the vehicle, like a pendant on the car.
"It has been 20 years since your father's case, and the prosecution period has long passed, but do you think that a guy who can do such a thing and not pay the price for it, in the next 20 years , can you still be a good person who abides by the law? There are still many cases that have not passed the prosecution period.” If they are involved in a life-threatening lawsuit but do not pay any price, this experience of escaping guilt will make them think highly of themselves, despise the law, and it is only a matter of time before they take bribes and bend the law. You are still too eager, police officer, as a police officer, You should have a better way. Believe in the judiciary, believe in the profession that you are proud of...
"However, it is unnecessary to say such sarcastic words until now. There is evidence here that can make Sotaro Goji lose everything, and you also have the bargaining chip to vindicate your father to the public. How about, do you want to try the Phantom Thief's method? ”
