Chapter 564: Timing Man Karasawa
Is Kaitou CH’s style secondary? In the worldview of the original P5, it's actually pretty good.
According to the various visual displays in the game, in the Japanese setting of P5, the visual design of the entire online world is all red and black, and this is true for web pages, APPs, and even computer operating systems.
To put it bluntly, they are quite average.
However, when Tangze copied it into the world of Ke Xue, its strong style and flamboyant color scheme made it eye-catching, but at the same time, it was too trendy for Ke Xue.
Seriously speaking, the noise they made was definitely not a small one. They shared the same frame with Kaitou Kidd, prevented the Shinkansen from exploding, and wholesaled notice letters flying all over the sky... The existence of the Phantom Thieves of Heart is often involved in cases. The police on the front line have already gained great recognition. Institutions and individuals who pay close attention to cognitive science have also noticed their strange power. This is correct.
However, to the wider public, even Kaitou Kidd is just a source of lively conversation. It is still unknown whether the Phantom Thieves can be included in everyone's after-dinner topics.
It must be said that there is indeed a reason why the protagonists of the original work will target "big names".
"We should look for some more famous and authoritative targets." Tang Ze patted the beef on the chopping board, raised the knife in his hand, and chopped it on the bright red meat. "Celebrities, artists, the public More active rich people, politicians, celebrities... maybe baseball stars, or sumo wrestlers?"
He looked at the texture of the sharp blade on his hand and wiped a little blood from the blade. , put the cut meat cubes into the hot pot.
"Moreover, the progress of the subway has been stalled again. It is indeed time to increase its visibility, everyone." Tangze expressed clearly.
The other end of the call was silent for a moment.
While talking, Tangze was chopping rhythmically with the kitchen knife in his hand, as if he had put these people under his knife and cut them into pieces with ease as he spoke. .
Occasionally, when he speaks in an overly calm tone, you can still sense some evil nature in him.
Asai Narumi thought this way and concluded calmly: "In short, by increasing your visibility, you can lend a helping hand in a more timely manner and better serve justice. Is that what you mean?"
"A bit too arrogant, but that's what running a symbol is, right?" Tangze turned the knob again, looked at the blue flame rising on the stove, and asked with a smile.
Only by sparing no effort and calculating carefully, can we have a chance to steal more jobs from the detectives, right?
Oh, by the way, speaking of detectives...
“You can start preparing a list. There is no need to stick to the scope of the website. Social news, financial reports, entertainment hot spots, all are good to follow. There's still plenty of time, take your time." Tang Ze picked up the pot on the side with one hand and quickly edited the content of the email.
Did he mention that during his last trip to Osaka, he added the contact information of Toyama Kazuha and Hattori Heizo to his mobile phone?
————
"What time is it now?" Hattori Heiji was confused for a moment after hearing this question, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "It's 8 o'clock... Why are you asking this? You don't have the time on your phone. ”
“Huh? You really think I’m asking you, what time is it?”
Yuanshan Heye suddenly raised his voice. His voice had a very loud high frequency, and Judy and Conan, who were still discussing, looked at him.
Hattori Heiji, whose mind was finally freed from the mystery of the case, took a few seconds to realize what Toyama Kazuha meant.
Oops, oops, I forgot to make an appointment to pick her up!
"What are you doing! It was you who suggested that you have to stay in Tokyo if something suddenly happens, otherwise you can ask me to come over and have fun... You won't forget everything, right?" Yuan Shan and Ye, who came from one place, stared at the crowded exit in front of them and clenched their fists.
Hattori Heiji is the most irritating idiot in the world!
Luckily, she was still looking forward to it. Would there be any surprises? She bought an express JR ticket as quickly as possible and rushed over happily...
"Yes, I'm sorry, I suddenly have something to do here and I can't leave..." Although his childhood sweetheart was not standing in front of him, Hattori Heiji could imagine the angry look on her face at this moment while carrying her luggage, and she shrank her neck and said with a smile.
"Hey, hello...where are you? The signal is so poor and the sound is intermittent." Halfway through, the voice on the other side began to blur. Toyama and Ye put their hands on their hips in dissatisfaction, "Aren't you in downtown Tokyo? ?”
“Well, it seems to be a problem with the signal in the apartment,” Hattori Heiji, who moved the phone away from his ear, glanced at the signal sign, hurriedly approached the balcony, and opened the door. "Is this better? Hey, but how did you know that I was in Tokyo?"
As for the fact that the trip to Ogasawara is no longer possible, considering the matters related to the case with Ye Yixiang She didn't feel like she had a cold, so Hattori Heiji didn't tell her in detail. He just said that some things happened during the trip, so he would return to Tokyo today.
But since Yuan Shan and Ye Mingming clearly condemned him for not coming to pick up the car, they must have known that he was back.
"Hmph, of course I have my own way." Yuan Shan and Ye showed a victorious smile, no longer waiting at the exit, and walked towards the nearest route map, "I told you I passed you. I arrived in Tokyo at 7:30, but you were clearly in the city and couldn't remember to pick me up. You didn't even give me a call... Hattori Heiji, I remember you! I’ll be right over!”
Fortunately, Karasawa, a guy who could read the air, was watching and reminded her that Hattori Heiji might not be able to make it. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how long she would have to stand here stupidly.
How about saying that Tang Ze has high emotional intelligence? After learning from the email that she had arrived in Tokyo, Karasawa not only said eloquently, "Someone I know encountered an emergency, so I asked Hattori for help. I'm very sorry." He also provided her with details of their current location. The address is accompanied by route instructions on how to take public rail transit and get to the corresponding location in the fastest time.
No wonder Karasawa got to know Heiji quickly after meeting him twice in Tokyo.
Oh, what if I fell in love with such a smart, considerate, and caring guy...
What a pity, she had already fallen into the trap of a fool, and she had no choice but to fall in love with him. It's salvageable.
"Ah? What do you mean you're coming right away? Wait a minute, hey, hey -"
At this time, the person shouting into the receiver became Hattori Heiji. It seemed that the one with poor signal became Same as the one on the opposite side.
Conan stepped over the guide rail of the sliding door, looked at Hattori Heiji who was stroking his bangs with a headache on his face, and asked tentatively: "Whose phone number is it, Miss Toyama?"
"Yes. , Alas, now it’s really..." Feeling helpless, Hattori Heiji patted the railing of the terrace and looked down at the road below that formed a small stream of light. "I originally wanted to talk about this matter tomorrow... huh? "
When he turned back to talk to Conan, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the wide terrace walkway extending to the side.
He took the lead and walked quickly to the other end of the terrace.
On the right side of the terrace, although there is no entrance or exit connected to the bedroom, the window in one direction of the bedroom faces the terrace.
He lowered his head, glanced at the window sill which was slightly lower than his hips, and looked at Conan who was approaching, his eyes brightening.
"Teacher Judy, do all the apartments here have a similar layout? Or, the decoration is decided by the residents themselves." Hattori Heiji turned to look at Judy, who was standing at the entrance to the balcony.
Judy, who still had her arms folded and used her posture to secretly click the shutter, looked over calmly and nodded in the direction he pointed: "If you are talking about the room and furniture, it is true. It’s almost the same. These are hotel-style single-living apartments for office workers to move in with their bags. ”
The only disadvantage of this very modern rental model is its high price for those who want to enjoy the convenient services of a hotel, but also have more private life, facilitate their own cooking, and live for a long time.
But for her, this turned out to be an advantage.
What I want is expensive, and I have traveled halfway around the world to a place where I am unfamiliar with my life. If I still cannot enjoy affluent living conditions, this job will be a bit difficult.
"That's good, I have to ask you for a favor." Hattori Heiji showed a victorious smile.
————
"Experiment? Are you here?" Police Department Megure held his hat and looked at Hattori Heiji strangely.
When he was called out by this group of people, he knew that nothing good happened, but when he heard this request, he still felt strange and helpless.
Basically, when these guys who like to point fingers at crime scenes make such strange requests, it means they have discovered a crucial clue. Obviously, just dictating can explain the ideas clearly, but this group of people just like to use twists and turns to reproduce the methods of committing crimes...
The two times I came into contact with Hattori Heiji, It seems to be the same situation, oh, Kudo brother and the new Akechi brother also have this kind of symptoms occasionally.
This isn't a variety show, it's all gaudy.
No matter how much emotion I felt in my heart, the Mumu Police Department still cooperated and did not express any doubts, waiting for the next step.
It doesn’t matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat. As long as it can solve crimes and reduce overtime hours, then there is discussion.
"That's right! As long as we can restore the state of the deceased at that time, maybe we can intuitively understand what this 'secret room murder case' is about." Hattori Heiji nodded confidently.
"Having said that, when the deceased fell to death, Ms. Shimoda was only taking pictures downstairs. Mr. Nakamachi and Mr. Kawakami had contact with the deceased, but they were all in their respective homes. It must be said that this was a murder case. That's a bit far-fetched, isn't it?" Mumu Shisan said with disapproval.
If there was conclusive evidence that one of the three people had an inducing role in Takai's death, this might become an important argument to support the prosecution, but whether he would be charged with murder...he was not optimistic anyway.
"Just give it a try. Anyway, your search work is almost completed. We won't cause much damage to the scene." Hattori Heiji pointed behind him with a smile, "Also, I suggest that since To restore the scene, we still lack one thing. "
"What's missing?" Takagi Wataru, who was following Megure Shisan, saw that his boss had no objection and stepped forward to prepare for the arrangements made by these people. on site.
Different from the steady style of the Memu Police Department, which only trusts the abilities of acquaintances, he can quickly identify the murderer and explain the situation, and there is a lot of fun in it. He has a lot of fun for detectives from all walks of life, as well as fans of guest detectives. Always very welcome.
"That's wine!" Conan raised his hand, "Didn't Mr. Takai sleep drunkenly on the bed after getting drunk? All three relevant personnel confirmed this."
"That's true, but is it really necessary to act like this?" Takagi Wataru raised his forehead in confusion.
"Don't worry, the detectives on duty will not be allowed to drink. Of course, I am still a minor and the only one who can play this role..." Hattori Heiji turned behind him.
“Me?” Lifting her finger and pointing at herself, Judy smiled, “So you want me to do this kind of favor?”
“Yes, teacher, you are also from the apartment. Resident, you, like Mr. Takai, are very sensitive to the layout of the apartment." Hattori Heiji nodded, "Can I ask you to play him?"
"Of course, but in this case, I need a little bit. "Reward." Judy agreed and winked, "Can you prepare my favorite wine for me?"
"Oh? What kind of wine?" Of course Hattori Heiji had no objection. He just glanced at Conan and asked.
This is also what he and Kudo had planned.
Actually, whether they drink alcohol or not has little impact on their restoration.
He mainly had some tentative thoughts in his mind, wanting to confirm that the woman in front of him really had nothing to do with that terrible organization.
As soon as he thought that Kudo's current situation and Karasawa's experience were all due to their handiwork, some indignation would well up in his heart that was difficult to dispel.
If she is really a member of that organization...
It would be too ironic for the murderer who murdered so many people to sit amidst wealth and enjoy a luxurious and leisure life.
"Well--" Judy rolled her eyes, and her eyes swept over Conan's face as if there was no trace, before ending her protracted tone, "My favorite wine recently is Kumel, a herbal liqueur with a special taste. However, it is too niche and is more suitable for drinking after meals and before going to bed, so let’s go for Sherry.”
Conan took a look. Her expression was thoughtful for two seconds, and she exchanged glances with Hattori as usual.
Do you think there is a problem?
Feeling fine...go get her a bar.
"Of course there is no problem." Hattori Heiji nodded, "Invite the three relevant personnel over... Oh, we should call them suspects now."
Hattori Heiji finished speaking, He turned around and walked towards the entrance, ready to go downstairs and check out the nearby cigarette shop.
"Here, what you want."
He thought so, and as soon as he opened the door, he held a whole bottle of sherry in one hand and handed it to him. .
"Karasawa, when did you..." Hattori Heiji stared blankly at Karasawa holding the bottle.
He was clearly not at the scene, and he didn't hear their discussion. How could...
Wait a minute, when did Tang Ze go out?
After recalling it for a long time, I couldn’t remember when Karasawa separated from them and left the team. Hattori Heiji was stunned for a few seconds before taking the wine in his hand.
Why exactly...
"Conan just sent me a message that the wine comes from Teacher Judy's house." Karasawa spread his hands, "Please, you are a minor, how do you go into the store to buy wine?"
Trivia: In many countries around the world, the legal age for marriage is younger than the age for drinking. Isn’t it amazing?
"And..." Karasawa said, taking another step away, exposing Toyama Kazuha, who rushed out as the elevator stopped at the other end of the corridor, to Hattori Heiji's eyes. In the field of view, "I advise you to bring the wine in quickly. If she gets emotional and breaks the bottle with a punch, or smashes the bottle to the ground with you, you will be responsible for the compensation."
" Oh, oh...!" Hattori Heiji shivered, followed Karasawa's words almost reflexively, turned around and hurried toward the living room, not caring about Karasawa's perfect timing.
Tang Ze looked at his back with a smile, turned sideways considerately, leaving plenty of acceleration runway for Toyama Kazuyo, and listened to the roar coming from behind.
"Hattori Heiji! You are really busy with the case again, too busy to care about anything else!"
"This, me, is just a coincidence, a coincidence! I am here as a guest!"
"Why are you a guest? You have encountered another case, so you have forgotten everything else!"
"No, no, I originally planned to ask everyone to pick you up after dinner. ..."
"Then you forgot all about me, right! Why did you ask me to come to Tokyo if you didn't want to pay attention to me, you idiot?"
"Hey, you have something to say, so many people are watching, let go, don't pull it -"
A gust of wind-like distant mountains and leaves blew past him, Tang Ze straightened his messed up hair, and looked at some The dull Conan smiled innocently.
Well, the wine doesn't actually belong to Judy. It's another gift that Tang Ze brought back to her. It's not convenient to take it out in front of other people, as it will easily expose the fact that everyone has a good relationship.
He also called Yuan Shan and Ye. He had previously confirmed the location with the other party because he was worried about safety on the road, and then found the best opportunity to bring something to block the door and prevent it from happening. Hattori Heiji accidentally missed the emotional peak of Toyama and Haha.
I will remember to inform Toyama Kazuha that when he went to Haibara Ai to deliver gifts in the morning, he confirmed through his sister that Hattori Heiji asked her to come to Tokyo temporarily.
However, who asked Hattori Heiji to let others go by himself, right?
There are so many coincidences in the world, there is really nothing we can do about it.
