Chapter 597: This is what our Phantom Thief of Hearts looks like
Tang Ze was able to identify who was in that car without even taking a second look.
Andrey Kamel, and Shuichi Akai.
I didn’t take Judy with me, but after all, I took the driver with me, so it shouldn’t be some very covert tracking mission...
That’s right, because the hatred value of his face, Now Akai Shuichi will be more accustomed to using the identity of model shop owner Iwai Munehisa when he goes to follow him. Although he still looks very difficult to mess with, at least he can move around in front of Amuro Tohru for a day or two.
"It seems that their car encountered an accident." After glancing at Kamel's expression, Karasawa adjusted his body to block Mouri Kogoro's view of the oncoming vehicle, "Forget it, Uncle Mouri, they are not either On purpose."
"Really..." Although he was still very unhappy, Mouri Kogoro moved his hand away from the car window button.
He glanced sideways in that direction again, turned his head to confirm that the two children sitting in the back seat were okay, and then slowly stepped on the accelerator: "If you encounter an accident, you should give early warning. You should at least apologize to those who were implicated..."
Mouri Kogoro muttered and rejoined the traffic flow. Karasawa glanced at the parked vehicles in the rearview mirror. He turned his eyes away as if nothing had happened.
The FBI's operation against Belmod has been launched, and the two parties have begun to fight against each other.
Regardless of his actions, this is a good thing that can temporarily divert the attention of both parties from himself and give him sufficient space to act.
So, keep fighting, fight more intensely, and use some special effects to conceal their private direction of action.
"Well, that man just now..." Mao Lilan, who was almost stabbed by her pen, was still frightened. She finally put down the book, recalled the face that flashed in her sight, and muttered, "Weird , I always feel like I have seen it somewhere..."
"Hey, do you think so too, Sister Xiaolan?" Conan, who was still thinking hard, turned his head.
"Yes, it seems to be at school, or somewhere..." Mao Lilan trimmed her hair and slowly recalled, "Did you see him near the office?"

Watching Moori Kogoro’s vehicle drive away, Akai Shuichi sat in the back seat of the car, silent and silent.
After several minutes, Kamal, who was busy in the driver's seat, finally said: "Well, there are no other bugs."
"What happened to the car? ? Where was the manipulation?" Akai Xiu nodded and asked.
"It stalled suddenly. It must have been tampered with somewhere in the engine. Mr. Akai, I think it's a bit risky to act rashly like this." Kamel looked at the warning sign jumping on the dashboard, and he was a little bit There is lingering fear in my heart.
Although they had made complete preparations, changing tires and brake pads every day, and even filling the fuel tank with only a small amount of gasoline, they always drove at a very controlled speed to prevent the other party from causing a more serious car accident. It would be a lie to say that he was not worried at all.
After all, this is a means of transportation that needs to be taken frequently. Once something goes wrong, it may be life-threatening, so he is not completely without doubts about Akai Shuichi's decision.
But it turns out that Akai Shuichi's judgment has always been accurate...and the same goes for that boy Karasawa.
Perhaps this is what Judy lamented, the so-called "precise intuition like a beast that seems to be innate".
"I trust Karasawa's judgment. The recent events are enough to prove it." Shuichi Akai's expression did not waver, and he said as if he was speaking plainly, "Belmode did not notify the organization of the FBI's actions. She I have other plans.”
After discovering that Bellmode had stolen all the files related to Kogoro Mouri in the Metropolitan Police archives, according to the original plan, they should send an action team in Japan to conduct a detailed investigation around Kogoro Moori to ensure that Bell could be grasped. Mod's movements.
This is a move that is very consistent with professional habits and common action logic. However, Tangze contacted them and gave completely opposite opinions.
"Keep your team members away from the office, preferably not even close to 2-chome, Brother Shuichi." Standing in the back of the model shop, Karasawa said confidently in a very determined tone. , "It only took Belmode a short time to determine Shirley's location. She actually didn't need to conduct any investigation. This matter itself was the bait to lure you. She wanted to find you, and Your main base of activities in Tokyo, find out your details.”
About the reason why Belmod even gave up his current social status and came to Japan for Shirley’s defection. After he was exposed, Tangze, who managed to change his identity and enter the organization undercover, gave an answer beyond their imagination.
“What Belmode wants to do is contrary to the main goal of the organization. She is worried that if someone else tracks Shirley and discovers her whereabouts, Shirley will be brought back alive. In the organization. This is something she cannot tolerate.
"She will not report any of her findings to the organization, and will only selectively share information with members of the organization who have reached a cooperative relationship with her. Calvados, who has made it clear that he is completely on her side, and her existence Kumel, who has some kind of agreed relationship, and Bourbon, who has no conflict of interest with her for the time being, also has many small thoughts... no more than these three people."
Although Karasawa's view is very unexpected, in the end. After discussion, Akai Shuichi still chose to trust his opinion.
“He is the one standing at the forefront now.” This is the reason given by Shuichi Akai.
"Although I also think that he is indeed a genius in intelligence, but if his judgment is wrong, with our operational power in Japan, we simply cannot compete with the organization." In fact, I also agree with Tang. Judy, who appreciates her personal abilities, still cannot help but worry.
She has been chasing Belmod's shadow for so long that all the past events have become like yellowed publications, gradually taking on a vague color that makes her even shaken.
This was the closest she had come to success, and she didn't dare to take any risks.
"He only started working undercover after my identity was exposed. He has already come into contact with the most mysterious Belmod, saved the Miyano sisters, and the research progress of some parts of the organization has begun to slow down..." Akai Xiuyi looked at her, the subtext clearly revealed.
There are some things that a rye whiskey person who works step by step from the grassroots level would not be able to touch in six years, but Karasawa used a precise shortcut to complete them all in a few months.
Although this was assisted by many off-field factors, and Tangze was not an ordinary person, this was still a dazzling achievement, dazzling enough to begin to shake the foundation of this behemoth organization.
“It’s really unimaginable.” After sending the message, Kamel leaned on his seat and looked at the gloomy sky outside the car. Seeing the sky was about to rain, he couldn’t help but sigh, “Belmod is really did not report our presence.”
"His predictions and judgments about people's behavior are rarely wrong." Shuichi Akai said with certainty.
Think of Kudo Shinichi, who has equally extraordinary intelligence and has successfully detected the identity problem of Judy and Belmod, and even though he has become a child, he has not given up his scientific research ability and is working on antidotes day and night. , Miyano Shiho who cracked the organization of various pharmaceutical products.
In the end, these persecuted children themselves resisted the huge pressure and found a way out for themselves. They are all outstanding young people...
I didn’t notice the smiles in the back row. Akai Shuichi was lamenting something. Kamel scratched his head and asked a more puzzling question: "Moreover, our stronghold on Shibuya Central Street has never been exposed."
He said At first, I thought that this stronghold could only be used temporarily, and it was unnecessary to spend too much energy on arranging Iwai Munehisa's identity and background.
You know, when Tang Ze goes in and out of the model shop, he never even puts on a disguise. When he comes to see them for something, he usually comes right after school after school.
...even occasionally brought along the elementary school student whose true identity was basically confirmed to be Kudo Shinichi.
His various behaviors can no longer be described as blatant. They are simply lawless and extremely arrogant, and he almost has the words "I have a problem" written on his face.
In the end, the result really didn’t arouse anyone’s suspicion. Even Iwai Munehisa, a character who suddenly appeared in Karasawa’s circle, seemed to have his sense of existence covered by his inexplicably wide social circle. .
How is this done?
The first time he assisted a lurking colleague on an errand, Kamal was puzzled as the task ended before it even started.
"You think he is suspicious because you know his identity in advance. When Karasawa goes to Shibuya, he always spends more than an hour visiting various shops, buying drinks, snacks, books, and even I also buy some gifts on a regular basis..." Akai Shuichi, who had actually reimbursed some documents for Karasawa that were really difficult to pay, pursed his lips at a loss for words, "It's not surprising at all to spend time in a model shop occasionally. "< br>
If you think about it for a moment, if he were Gin or Belmod, even if you spent a whole day staring at Karasawa's movements throughout the day, you would feel that this kid was really idle, as if he had never seen him before. It's like a worldly guy coming out to show off, looking around for everything. It's really difficult to distinguish the true purpose of his actions from so many distractions. At best, it can be said to be a strange hobby.

Coincidentally, Ireland, who was following Mouri Kogoro's car, really thought so.
Speaking of tracking people around the clock, the organization didn’t think so, but someone actually did it. At the end of the day, he almost stepped on the floor tiles in Shibuya. He didn’t realize what he was doing. .
“He’s running out to play again, what’s so crazy about Kumel?” Ireland, stuck in the huge traffic flow in Tokyo, cursed through gritted teeth as he moved step by step.
After deciding to start investigating Bourbon and Kumail, Ireland has had a very difficult time these days.
Bourbon was so easy to follow that he no longer bothered to follow him, because he felt like he couldn't figure out the reason at all.
I get up at 6 o'clock every day for morning exercises, and sometimes feed familiar stray dogs on the roadside;
After cleaning up my apartment at 7 o'clock, I go to Polo Cafe, and sometimes I stop Kumail, who has not yet gone to school, to talk for a while. Sometimes he doesn’t have any contact at all and just cleans and goes to work like a normal waiter;
If he goes out after 12 o’clock, he will probably go to the detective agency he and Kumail jointly open to receive some Ordinary clients, clean the mailbox;
Go back to the apartment after get off work, cook, eat, change clothes and go to various places to stay until midnight if you have a task, stay at home if you don't have a task.
Besides the 80%, the other 20% are doing takeout, working part-time jobs, going to various restaurants and bars...
He understood the truth. As an intelligence officer, Bourbon did not have to go into battle in person unless the mission required it. Many problems could be solved with a phone call.
But this unshakable routine is like an NPC with a planned course of action in its mind. Are you a member of the organization or some kind of retired man?
After following him for a few days, Ireland's target turned to Kumail, and then they desperately discovered that this kid was the other extreme.
Sometimes, as Goro Akechi, he solves some cases, contacts clients, and even goes to TV stations to give autographs and photos for fans; sometimes he wanders around, eats and drinks, stays in Shibuya or A whole night in Shinjuku; sometimes it’s like just having a rest, walking around, fishing, playing darts, baseball...
Compared to the bourbon that never loses, Kumel is a regular He is the type who can lose track, but Ireland fully suspects that the reason for losing track is not that Kumail is doing something secretly, but simply that he is doing unpredictable Brownian motion, which is really difficult to follow.
These days, Ireland even prays from time to time that the organization can come up with some tasks quickly. He really doesn't want to take a vacation. Seeing this pair of bosses and subordinates gives him a headache.
"Where are we going..." Ireland looked at the butt of the car in front of him, grinding his teeth silently, "We are about to leave the city..."
—— ——
Don’t tell me, don’t tell me, Tangze and his companions’ destination is indeed not in the city.
As for why I made a special trip to Kanagawa Prefecture to eat Chinese food, I can only ask Magical Xiaolan.
The only thing to blame is this eyebrow pencil restaurant. Why did it come to Mihua Town to hold a lottery.
Kansawa, who had no idea how much pain he had caused others by faithfully performing the daily routine of the Phantom Thief of Heart, looked at the restaurant in front of him with interest.
——By the way, Ireland was unable to detect the abnormality of Toru Amuro, mainly because Toru Amuro usually planned a planned route when he went to the Zero Team, such as going to a bar mall near the Metropolitan Police Department. Move in a curve, or drive a car to take a relatively hidden back exit and take a shortcut that normal people would not take.
Karasawa has no curiosity about Chinese restaurants in Japan. He is mainly curious about the prisoners.
If the case is the one in his memory, then the murderer of today's case also belongs to the type of artist with abnormal circuits... Why did he say that?
"Ah? Does this meal coupon have to be limited to a limited period of time and food?" Mao Lilan, the big winner, frowned and turned the paper in his hand over, and finally found two rows of needle-sized ones on the back. The small print left me speechless for a while.
Having won the lottery so many times, she has also seen businesses playing this trick, but they are usually large-ticket projects, such as free tickets for luxury goods, or expensive travel, etc. This was her first time seeing a restaurant like this.
"No way, then isn't this trip in vain?" Mouri Kogoro patted his head, looked at his watch, and was speechless.
It took a lot of time to drive all the way from home to here. It would be a huge loss if we didn’t get to eat.
"Maybe this is a sales strategy." Tangze analyzed calmly, "First distribute free coupons in relatively distant areas to attract people to come, and then when you actually arrive at the scene, I will tell you that you can't use them for the time being. . Come here, most people are embarrassed to turn around and leave..."
"How can it still be like this..." Mouri Kogoro looked at his serious expression and couldn't help but start to think along this logic, "So if you put it this way, the food here must be terrible? After all, it is delicious. There is no need to use this kind of sales method in the store. Tables need to be reserved."
Smelling the air that smelled faintly of miso, Tang Ze gave a thumbs up in agreement.
A miso-flavored Chinese restaurant, although he knows that all restaurants in Japan are miso-flavored, but a miso-flavored Chinese restaurant...
It must be said that Kogoro Mori has the highest level of reasoning. set.
"Guest, this..." The front desk standing in front of several people was so crowded that he broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't dare to accept such heart-wrenching remarks, so he had to continue bowing, "We do all know the rules of use. It's written on the back of the coupon. I'm very sorry. If it doesn't work, I'll contact the store manager..."
"Ah, this sir." Just as Mouri Kogoro's eyes slowly brightened after he had collected the wool, a greeting came from behind him, "If you don't mind, would you like to dine with us? Of course. "We are here to treat you."
Mouri Kogoro turned back suspiciously and looked up and down at the man standing behind them.
He is a big-chested man with a round waist and a double chin, or, to put it mildly, a man of medium build, with a mustache on his chin and an indescribable oiliness... The suit on him does not look cheap.
Did you recognize yourself? Yes, he can indeed be considered a semi-household celebrity now.
Moori Kogoro, who had become a little bit more like a famous detective, straightened his tie, held his head high, and prepared to communicate with the other party in a more reserved manner.
"Okay." Without hesitation, Tangze agreed and said bluntly, "If there are five people, do you want to change to a larger table?"
As he said that, He also winked at Conan.
Conan looked at the person, then at Mouri Kogoro's face, and immediately understood.
Yes, people who suddenly invite detectives to dinner or something are generally not good people. They often want to use the detective's reputation to forge an alibi.
——Besides this aspect, the detective’s reputation seems to have no other advantages, right?
So Conan also grabbed the hesitant Mao Lilan and said loudly: "Thank you, uncle, for inviting us to dinner. Can we also order, uncle?"
Tang Ze nodded and looked behind him. The person took one look and smiled understandingly.
Aren’t the people who made so many excuses just want to kill someone?
Come on, let’s help you change to a big table with a turntable to make it easier for you!
Organizing the progress of the organization and persecuting Ireland, funny
