Chapter 559: How to peel the onions is a question
“Are all the records of previous cases investigated by the Maori detectives in the Metropolitan Police Department gone?!”
“Hush, hush—— Shrinking his neck, Conan hurriedly raised a finger, looked around, and lowered his voice a little, "Don't be so loud."
Dr. A Li doesn't have any eavesdropping devices here, but this. It would not be good for Haiyuan to hear the topic.
Haiyuan gave him the impression that he was a very standard pessimist. Because he had faced the pressure brought by the organization, he could not help but flinch when he heard related topics.
If she heard that someone had already started investigating in Yoneka Town, she might have to take a long leave of absence and be afraid to go to school again.
"So, do you think it was those guys who stole those investigation records?" Dr. Ali glanced secretly at the stairs behind Conan and lowered his voice uncertainly.
"There is such a risk, isn't it?" Conan took a breath, "After I took the medicine, I also changed back, and, um... In short, the organization thought that my death was due to gray. Yuan tampered with the investigation information about me at that time. Now that she has defected, it is uncontrollable whether they will become suspicious of this information."
"But if they have already connected you with the Maori detective. If they are together, the situation will be very dangerous." Dr. A Li frowned worriedly, "You disappeared and appeared with the sleeping Mouri Kogoro. Lenovo."
"Hey, this idea still came up..." A vein in Conan's forehead twitched, "Isn't it too late to say it's suspicious now?"
< br>
At this moment, a voice suddenly intervened in the conversation between the two people.
"Oh, so the person who came up with this bad idea is actually you, Dr. Ali..."
Conan was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, he saw that he was wearing slippers. Hattori Heiji, wearing light clothes, walked down from the second floor.
"Hattori, why are you here?!"
"It's not just me here..." Hattori Heiji raised his eyebrows and took a step to the side.
Haibara Ai, whose hair was rarely braided, also walked down in her slippers. Her crisp beige skirt and furry coat made her look soft and refreshing that was inconsistent with her usual image.
Conan said to himself, "Oh no," he didn't want to tell anyone about the emergency. It was obvious from the look on his face that he knew.
But it’s not over yet.
As she walked down the rotating escalator, the person she was holding by the other hand was also exposed.
"Why is Tangze even here, you..." Conan raised his finger and pointed at them, dumbfounded.
"Coincidence, completely coincidental..." Dr. Ali patted the top of his bald head and laughed awkwardly, "Hattori-kun is here to stay. Karasawa's words seem to be coming from Xiao Wail."
"...I just want to talk to him about something." Hui Yuarai turned his head and whispered.
Her expression seemed disgusted, but as she turned her head, Conan could clearly see her carefully braided princess head and her slightly red ears.
Tangze raised his hand and said a friendly hello to the unlucky guy who had just sold his right hand to his left hand last night: "I came to see Shiho. I bought her some when I went out. A piece of clothing... Isn't this a coincidence? A guy who wanted to take action was arrested on the spot."
After being tortured yesterday, Tangze did not go back to the cafe, but ran back to the stronghold to sleep all night.
After completing the entire operation without being able to meet his teammates, Karasawa felt that it was still necessary to clean up the beginning and end, explain the follow-up requirements, and eat something good to soothe his taste buds that were devastated by the dark cuisine.
In this regard, Karasawa can only say that a person who is a good cook will use very tricky angles when he wants to make something unpalatable. Toru Amuro’s two bowls of soup were enough to drink Karasawa’s brain. It was completely blank, and I even felt like I was losing blood.
And...
How can I put it this way? Although it is true that Shuzhuo contains only a small amount of alcohol and is still rice wine with a low alcohol content, it still makes Karasawa uncontrollably recall some of it. The bad and messy memories made him really not want to be alone, nor did he want to sleep alone.
When he got up in the morning, he knew clearly that this street was crowded with his tarots. How could Tangze live in a leisurely manner?
"Rather than worrying about me, you should be more careful about yourself, Kudo." Haibara Ai walked into the living room and walked briskly towards the kitchen. "I'm not like you, who frequently appears in media cameras."
< br>Hearing this news, she should indeed be afraid and worried, and should predict pessimistically that she was not far from being exposed. But...
While standing on tiptoe to reach for butter, she quickly glanced at Tangze, who was walking steadily and with a leisurely posture.
She also has her own family, and there are so many people who are willing to stand in front of her and withstand all the wind and rain for her. She does have peace of mind, doesn't she?
Furthermore, the only scientific research facilitator of the Phantom Thieves can also be counted as a member of the Phantom Thieves, right?
"However, even if they think you are hiding behind Detective Maori and making suggestions, they are still a minority, right?" Dr. Ali was embarrassed for two seconds, cleared his throat, and reluctantly comforted him, After enduring it, he added in a low voice, "This idea is actually not that bad, right?"
"The time when Conan showed up at their house was the day Kudo disappeared after taking medicine... In this regard, the investigation revealed that Kudo Shin A person who is interested in the Internet should be able to find it." Hattori Heiji sat down on the sofa. Karasawa, who had come over more than once, had naturally found a seat for himself. "Before giving this idea, you should consider it. Let’s see if Kudo is suitable for playing a child.”
“Yes, his enthusiasm for reasoning is like a sneeze,” Karasawa agreed.
Conan, who had actually sneezed all night, touched his nose when he heard this metaphor, couldn't help but shuddered, and quickly changed the subject: "What I want to say is, this matter is quite strange. . It’s not that someone investigated the information, but that they returned the things intact to the Metropolitan Police Department.”
“Well, if the investigation is still completed, there is no use value, so do this. Is it possible?" Dr. Ali pushed up his glasses, took the toast from Haibara Ai, and thought for a while.
"Isn't it possible? If someone is really like this, why don't they just destroy the things? It would be more suspicious to send them back intact." Conan shook his head and retorted decisively.
"Are you trying to say that this was a signal deliberately designed by the other party to test the uncle?" Hattori Heiji, who also received a piece of toast, tilted his head, "After all, he is with As a detective with good connections with the police, he will definitely know about this happening."
"It is more likely that he is testing me, or even using it to lure me. A trap for the operation." Conan sighed bitterly, "Uncle Maoli didn't take it seriously at all. He swore that some senior police officers were making trouble for him due to illegal operations. Xiaolan took this matter more seriously than him."
Hearing the keyword, Tangze paused as he took the toast.
"What's the matter? Don't you want to eat butter?" Haibara Ai, who already knew his taste, was not surprised. She smoothly changed her hand and handed him another piece of spit. Si, "This one is for strawberry jam."
"Oh, okay, thank you." Tangze, who had recovered his senses, had no choice but to accept his sister's kind offer of customized flavors.
Hai Yuan Ai shook his head with a nonchalant expression.
Is it really okay for Karasawa to consume sugar like crazy all day long without even eating salty toast? Or is this the sequelae of his physical changes?
I am careless. I have never done a routine blood test on him. Otherwise, I should try it with blood sugar test strips first...
I don’t know that his professional medical team has a new idea. Ze, just silently biting the sweet bread, had some subtle associations.
Belmode didn't need to investigate at all. She had obviously figured out Conan's identity long ago, and there was no need to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to steal information.
Although Tokyo's police department has almost become a public toilet, where you can come and leave as you please, such a troublesome "test" does not seem to be the work of Bermod.
Remembering Toru Amuro who engaged in table torture last night, Karasawa's thoughts briefly wandered.
No, no, no, no, it was a police officer who did it...
————
When Yuya Kazami walked into the office, Rei Fukutani was staring at the documents on the table with a very serious, even slightly gloomy expression.
This is something Kazami Yuya is not very familiar with. His expression state - maybe his boss has this completely dangerous evil face when he is performing an undercover mission, he guessed.
Unsure whether Rei Fukiya was undecided or thinking about something more personal, Yuya Kazami took the initiative to ask: "Do we really want to stop the investigation against Teru Hoshikawa? He He often acts for Karaze, but his whereabouts are actually not that hidden.”
Rei Fukutani touched the document with a blank cover and closed his eyes.
"Karasawa has known for a long time that Edogawa Conan belongs to Kudo Shinichi." As if talking to himself or asking for advice, Rei Fukutani suddenly spoke. "Yes, he admitted it yesterday." Yuya Fengmi knew that his boss was not really asking for his advice, but was sorting out his thoughts, but he still answered seriously.
"Yesterday, all the reasons I used to explain the simultaneous appearance of Edogawa Conan and Kaitou Joker are also applicable to Karasawa." Rei Fukutani continued.
"Yes, and Hoshikawa Teru is here." Kazami Yuya nodded again.
Compared to a high school detective who turned into an elementary school student, with Teru Hoshikawa as an almost perfect stand-in, it would be easier for Karasawa to perform some shadow tricks.
"Unique intelligence ability, superhuman learning methods, a child who studies cognitive science..." Rei Fangtani closed his eyes and took a breath.
Of course he knew that Edogawa Conan could not be the Phantom Thief Joker.
After having doubts about this child, he used the fastest time to retrieve information on various cases he had participated in.
Although these cases were recorded on other people, Edogawa Conan, as an important witness at the scene, naturally had to go to the police station to take notes.
More importantly, these transcripts require my signature at the end for confirmation.
Perhaps because he has become a child and his wrist strength has weakened, his handwriting is rounder than that of a teenage high school student, but even if anyone does not understand handwriting appraisal, his handwriting is The characters are also completely different from the vigorous and powerful style.
The moment Fangtani Rei saw these documents, he had already turned his attention to the direction that he had originally ruled out, and quickly determined that the biggest breakthrough lay with Xingchuan Hui.
Looking at the process of Karasawa creating the identity of Goro Akechi and becoming a member of Codename, there is an extremely obvious question -
How did he find Teru Hoshikawa?
Xingchuan Hui lives in seclusion, has no social connections, is not recognized by his family, and has minimal presence in the organization. He is almost a "person who does not exist in the world."
How did Tang Ze accurately find a person with such a convenient identity, contact him, and convince him?
Therefore, the investigation of Xingchuan Hui became the logical next step.
Maybe we just need such a connection point, just find a simple breakthrough, and all problems can be solved.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the document, which had been completed for several pages, took a long breath and stood up.
"Take it and smash it into pieces."
"But..."
"No need to but, let's stop here." Feng Guling did not look back, "I promised him that we all have our own secrets and don't get to the bottom of it."
The answer that is about to come out does not rely on him Analyzed by his ingenuity, Jiangu Ling is very clear.
He was able to easily discover Tang Ze's flaws because Tang Ze exposed his most critical trump card from the beginning.
If Karasawa had not revealed his identity to him and had not put Hoshikawa Teru in front of him, he would have been able to deal with the "fake Karasawa Akira" while walking on thin ice. While exhaustingly tracing the traces of joker, it is far from possible to perfect the reasoning to the current state.
Tang Ze has helped him a lot, many of them at the expense of exposing his own special characteristics.
The truth may be important, but right and wrong, as well as the friendship that is more important than Mount Tai, should be above those things.
"Take it and break it into pieces." He repeated it again. He looked at the whiteboard in front of him and smoothed his hair helplessly. "As for the others, I will keep an eye on him myself."< br>
On the whiteboard in front of him was Karasawa's writing with sharp strokes.
That was the writing on the blackboard that Tang Ze left behind when he came to Team Zero last time to communicate with the members about a more efficient information exchange plan.
It’s completely different from joker’s handwriting...
If it is really him, then he is even an experienced colleague who has specialized in handwriting and has been trained for a long time to consciously control his writing habits. Otherwise, it is really difficult to explain.
Fangtani Rei picked up the eraser that was sucked to one side, silently wiped it away bit by bit, and sighed.
There was obviously a way to hide himself even more completely, but he didn't do it.
It's a bit narrow-minded and teasing, but it's really unguarded and has no hesitation.
Facing Tang Ze like this, when I have suspicions about him or even investigate behind his back, I always feel like I am being outdone.
I really lost to this naughty kid.
“I’ll wait for him to tell me himself.” Rei Furiya said softly to the whiteboard, “There will be such a day.”

“… ...You must have found an important clue, otherwise you would just sit there and think about it without saying a word. I'm right, look at your expression!"
Tang Ze came back to his senses. By the time he arrived, the bread in his hand had been chewed down to the edge, and the discussion in the room had already reached the important part of the Belmod suspect.
"Well, I did make some discoveries." Conan curled his lips and explained reluctantly after being seen through, "Didn't I tell you that I had contact with them at the Aido City Hotel? At that time, I was because I found the purple handkerchief that was used to cover up the muzzle flash, and contacted Officer Memu, hoping that he would detain all the guests who had purple handkerchiefs. However, strangely, all 8 people present had handkerchiefs."
< br>"Oh, that case, that case where the murderer was accidentally photographed by a tabloid reporter who was filming an extramarital affair?" Hattori Heiji immediately recalled the information that Karasawa emphasized many times.
"Actually, based on the position, you can also identify the approximate candidate... But it is indeed the case." Conan's expression collapsed, and he added, restating his point, "The people who were isolated and interrogated by the police at that time There were 8 in total. It was unlikely that Pisk realized that the focus of the interrogation was to check the handkerchief situation. "Oh, you mean, there are his accomplices among the others." Hattori Heiji reacted very much. Quick, "Because he was interrogated by the police first, so he knew the information about their inspection, and then handed him his handkerchief?"
"Well, except for Pisk, the other suspects, They are all people who often appear in the media. Oh, to be precise, the dinner itself was a place where celebrities gathered. Two of them were quite suspicious." The faces of several people flashed in his mind, and Conan's eyes were forlorn. He couldn't help but turn around and glanced at Tang Ze who was still slowly eating toast.
"Who are the two people you are talking about...?" Everyone looked at Conan's face, waiting for his answer.
"One is the movie star who announced her retirement after this incident, Chris Wynyard...and the one who did not appear on the invitation list, Akechi Goro." After a brief hesitation, Conan still bit He gritted his teeth and told all his guesses.
Hearing Akechi’s name, everyone’s eyes turned to Tang Ze again.
Conan and Hattori looked at him because Karasawa had made it clear that he and Akechi could be considered friends, while Haibara Ai looked at him with pure worry.
Shouldn’t your matter be publicized, brother.jpg
Tangze, who had completely received everyone's messages, twitched the corner of his mouth twice, looked back at them calmly, and replied calmly: "Oh, you will doubt Akechi because he is not among the invited guests?"
"Yes, and he had a relatively fierce conflict with Tunkou Zhongyan at the scene. If Pisk was the executor of the assassination, and he was the one responsible for threatening and giving the ultimatum...Tengkou Zhongyan was then His emotions make more sense." Conan said all his guesses despite his gaze.
There is no way, since Goro Akechi is among the suspects, and he is from the United States like Chris Wynyard, and his previous life is difficult to examine. Conan really has no way not to include him. into the target of suspicion.
Considering that Miyano Shiho was only 16 years old when he became a member of Codename, Akechi Goro's youth was not enough for him to exclude him from the list.
Of course he also hopes that the other party is not.
Otherwise, regardless of his high attention and frequency of exposure, his image in the public mind, or considering that he is a rare friend of Karasawa who knew him before coming to Tokyo, it is very likely that Goro Akechi is a member of the organization. A huge blow.
"If it is because of this reason... then it can be easily explained." Karasawa smiled and lightly dropped a bombshell, "He should have entered the venue as an entourage of Shigehiko Shigehiko. Well, it seems inappropriate to talk about people’s privacy behind their backs, but it’s not a big problem to tell you... Akechi is the son of Shigehiko Tonkou."
