Chapter 651 Karasawa: I was shocked (holding the onion skin tightly)
"...Belmod has discovered the traces of Shirley. She has not taken action for the time being because she is worried that Shirley will be taken back to the organization. Will continue to promote the progress of drug research and development..."
"...She is being tracked by other forces..."
"...Your memory problem is quite serious, don't underestimate the organization. Hands and feet. Well, first record your current memory of your own case here..."
When he opened his eyes, Tangze stared at the wood grain in front of him in a daze for half a minute. Slowly realize where you are.
Being dragged by Rei Fukiya, who had an explosive Spy attribute, to answer various questions and organize records, Karasawa was forced to experience the life of a scroll king who didn't sleep for more than a few hours. In the end, he managed to survive and fell headlong on the table. I fell asleep on the bed.
Zhu Fu Jingguang's matter has not been pushed to the end yet, and he has to be distracted to observe Kudou Shinichi's situation. Karasawa has not slept much more than Rei Fukoutani these days, so he can't survive the king.
Rubbing his eyes twice, Tangze sat up, moved his stiff joints, and grabbed the blanket covering his body in his hands.
While he was still sitting there in a daze, there was a noise at the entrance. Fenggu Ling, who had finished his morning run, walked in and saw him sitting there blankly. He raised his hand and said hello.
"Are you awake? Good morning, breakfast is over there on the stove. You can finish your meal and go to school. It's not far from your school and there's still time. I'm going to the cafe. I won’t send it to you.”
Karasawa, who felt that he had only slept for more than three or four hours, looked at Fangtani Rei in horror.
He remembered that yesterday, when he couldn't hold on any longer, this guy was still holding a small whiteboard, writing and drawing on it, recording something. As a result, he only had so little sleep, and he was still free. Morning exercise? !
Tell me the truth, do you also have any strange SP recovery items like Qigong stickers? How can you do better than me?
Throwing the newspaper he brought back from the road onto the table, Rei Fukiya ignored Karasawa, who seemed to have not yet woken up from his sleep. He rolled up the documents he had sorted on the table and handed them to Kazami. Yu also sent an email, preparing for him to pick up these materials at the designated location.
Although it was just information that he and Karasawa discussed verbally, after it was handed over to Team Zero, it would probably take many sleepless nights.
Belmode lingered in Mihua Town. Judging from Karasawa's information, she had found traces of Shirley, but she was worried that the organization would hear about it and wanted to execute her secretly and wait until the dust settled before leaving.
A hot-blooded Osaka high school student really found some flaws in Karasawa's case, and the guy who suddenly grew bigger and smaller seemed to have also made a breakthrough. We really can't underestimate today's children.
In addition to the matters at hand, the new channels and resources brought by Bo Bon's promotion in the organization also need to be sorted out, and the new information sources brought by Akechi Goro's activity also need to be maintained.
Not to mention, the source of the news from Mr. Morofu has not been traced. If you have time, it is best to go to Nagano Prefecture in person...
I simply listed it in my mind. Looking at his recent work goals, Jiang Guling shook his head, glanced at the front page of the newspaper on the table, and casually sighed: "It's been really uneventful recently..."
After hearing this, Tang Ze grabbed two handfuls of hair and restored it to his own style. He turned his head and paid attention to the newspaper at hand.
A familiar report jumped into his eyes.
"The serial arson case in Tokyo has reached the fifth incident!"
"——There are no clues related to the gangsters yet"
————
< br>
"Tell me, have you seen the arsonist himself?"
Hearing this, Conan turned his head and looked at Haihara Ai, who followed him through the door, with a slightly subtle expression.
This series of arson cases was originally just an inconspicuous footnote in Tokyo, a bustling city with a mixture of good and bad. Although there have been many incidents in succession, and newspapers will publish relevant reports, they have never attracted much attention.
Until the fourth case, the police discovered the stabbed victim at the fire scene.
From an arson case to murder and arson, the nature further escalated, and this case got the opportunity to appear on the media stage.
——The reason why I introduced so much is because Conan and Haibara Ai have quite the same thoughts at the moment.
Could it be that my/his affairs dragged down joker/Karasawa and caused the Phantom Thieves to fail to catch him in time?
No way, I can’t blame them for having such a conditioned reflex now, it’s just that the Phantom Thieves’ effect of stopping crimes is really great.
The original Kudo Shinichi was touted by many media as the savior of the Japanese police, but now, there has been a tendency for the media to regard the Phantom Thieves of Heart as the eternal savior of the police and detectives.
Today in Tokyo, the number of serial crime cases has been reduced repeatedly, including even serial suicides.
All I can say is that the power of psychology is endless.
The psychology of using magic is also psychology!
"Maybe..." Ayumi Yoshida, who was surrounded by a group of classmates, nervously squeezed the hem of her skirt, "He looks, well, not like a good person..."
Last night, when Ayumi, who went shopping with her mother, walked out of the convenience store to throw away the trash, she noticed a man who was dressed sneakily and spoke strangely.
She felt the other party was suspicious at that time, but her mother happened to be calling from behind, so she had to put it behind her for the time being.
"...As a result, when I was going to school in the morning, I saw the news that a fire broke out in a house over there." Thinking of this, Yoshida Ayumi couldn't help but feel a little guilty, "Should I have informed you at that time?" < br>
“No, you should have called the police at that time.” After hearing only two sentences of her description of appearance, Haihara Ai, who had already taken out her phone and started clicking non-stop, immediately retorted, “This is an arson case involving human lives. , even if you call us all over, you can't do anything to each other."
At this point, she paused for a moment and glanced at Conan, who was holding his chin and not speaking.
But it’s hard to say what I said yesterday.
After all, this guy was not a child at the time, maybe...
Oh, no, I haven't turned into a child. It seems that my combat ability has not only not improved, but also seems to have declined after losing the weapons that the doctor customized for the body of an elementary school student.
That’s okay.
"What are you pressing?" Seeing her typing text quickly, Yoshida Ayumi envied the other party's quick operation speed for a while, and then quickly approached her out of curiosity.
"Notify the police. If you don't let the police help, are you going to look for a needle in a haystack and search all over Tokyo based on your impression?" After pressing the final signature, Haibara Ai sent the email.
"Go to the police..." Ayumi lowered her head without interest, "Even if I say it, they don't believe it. In the past, when I found some situations and reported them to the police, they would always say, little Don’t make trouble, kid.”
"It doesn't matter, aren't you determined to become famous detectives? As long as you continue to assist in cases as detectives, they will naturally trust you. You see, Conan and I both have many police numbers."
"Hey, yes, Xiao Ai, you actually have Mr. Police's phone number?"
"Yes, yes."
"Where did you get it? Teach me, Can you give me one too? I see those powerful detectives on TV who always follow orders."
"That's not called following orders...forget it. My brother gave it to me.”
"Ah? What's the matter? Foul, foul!"
Conan, who was still constructing the image of a criminal based on Ayumi's description in his mind, came to his senses and saw Yoshida Ayumi throwing herself on Haibara Ai, hugging her Holding her neck without letting go.
Haihara Ai, who had always been polite to him and had a cold personality, helplessly allowed the bouncing Yoshida Ayumi to hug her and pat her back, seemingly enjoying it.
Conan, who felt a sense of déjà vu: "..."
Miyano Shiho is not really a lolita control, right? Why does it feel like being a child and being surrounded by other cute children? Tie Tie, why is she so happy?
————
"The eyes that hang upward like a fox, that is, like this..." Ayumi said, pressing the corners of her eyes with her fingers and pushing them up, pulling her cute face all the way. A little out of shape.
"Okay, I understand." Sato Miwako carefully drew the last part of the portrait in her hand, and turned the coil book to the children, "Does it look like this? I drew it like Not like it?"
"...Not at all like it." Yoshida Ayumi wrinkled her nose.
"Uh, really? I think my painting is quite realistic..." Sato Miwako rubbed her hair and made up for it awkwardly. "More than that, they don't look alike." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, who was watching their conversation behind Ayumi's stool, shook his head, "It just looks like a child's graffiti."
“Stop talking nonsense, my art homework is more beautiful than this painting.” Mota Kojima said even more bluntly, “It’s really ugly. Sister, the school didn’t teach art classes when you were in school. "
"This..." Sato Miwako, who had really bad grades in art and home economics classes during school, felt like she was hit by an arrow in the knee, and threw the book on the table angrily, "There is no way. Mr. Tomokawa, who specializes in portrait painting, happened to have a cold and is on vacation recently. There are not many people in the Search Division who can draw criminal portraits..."
"But Sato, it is really impossible to give a picture like this to them. Search." Takagi Wataru, who was passing by, grabbed the notebook on her desk, coughed twice, and suppressed his smile.
"Why, you also think that my painting is not as good as that of a primary school student?" Miwako Sato narrowed her eyes. .
"No, no, I just feel, uh, quite cute..." Takagi Wataru, who suddenly had a strong desire to survive, quickly denied it.
"Well, the lines are neat and concise, and the painting style is intriguing, but..." Shiratori Rensaburo, who followed quickly, took a look at the thing in Takagi Wataru's hand, tried hard to suppress his boiling artistic bacteria, and tried his best to suppress his boiling artistic bacteria. Brain praises.
"But what?" Miwako Sato pouted, "Why don't you two paint it."
"No, no, my painting is not as good as yours, Sato." Takagi Wataru quickly waved his hand. .
"As for me, the only style I have come into contact with is impression painting, and I shouldn't be suitable for this..." How dare Shiratori Rensaburo dare to stand out at this time, he also refused and glanced at the noisy children. They said casually, "Besides, the person this child saw may not necessarily be the arsonist."
In his impression, these children are also the ones who highly admire the detective profession, and they are the most noisy kind of monkeys among the primary school students. If they fully believe these guys, they will easily be led into the ditch.
"You mean I lied?" Ayumi puffed up her cheeks and crossed her arms unhappily, with "Look what I said" written all over her face.
She said that it would be better for them to go find the police themselves. The police always don’t care about the opinions of children like them, which is really annoying.
"Yes, don't underestimate the power of children." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Motoda Kojima crossed their arms in annoyance, showing their disapproval.
"However, Ayumi did not see him setting the fire, right?" Takagi Wataru came to the rescue and patted Shiratori Rensaburo twice on the shoulder to signal him to stop saying a few words.
Shiratori hasn't been transferred to their search class long enough, and he may not realize the power of these children.
Not to mention anything else, Conan, the little boy wearing glasses, I saw him at the scene of the crime not ten times but nine times. His full attendance efficiency was higher than that of him, a field officer of the Investigation Class 1, which was evident. .
"It shouldn't be wrong." Conan shook his head, "The weather has not been cool in the past two days, and everyone started not to wear coats, but that man was wearing a long coat, gloves, and there was gasoline on his pants. The smell of spilling.”
It was precisely because he extracted these keywords from Ayumi’s nagging description that he accompanied several children to the police station to call the police.
"And he walked out of the burning alleyway with a weird smile. That would be too suspicious. Even if he is not an arsonist, I think it is reasonable for the police to search for him for questioning."
"Okay, what you said makes sense." Miwako Sato breathed out, "So..."
"So we should call someone who is better at painting portraits." There was not a single stumble. Conan continued, "During the last bombing, didn't you also see that, the blue-haired brother?"
"Oh, indeed, I remember, his name was Kitagawa Yusuke... ..." Shiratori Rensaburo, who was deeply impressed by the identity of the emerging painter, nodded, "He is a promising young man who is going to participate in the Grand Prize."
Moreover, I thought about Kitagawa Yusuke afterwards. The speculations and judgments about the bombing at that time were highly consistent with the finally identified criminal Moritani Teiji.
From the perspective of observing human beings and drawing sentient beings, he may be an artist who can make a splash.
"But, if Kitagawa-kun is concerned, should I go to his school to find him? Wouldn't that be too troublesome?" Takagi Wataru, who vaguely remembered that he seemed to be a student of Abeido Art Vocational School, held his chin in thought.
"I'll just come, I have his phone number!" Conan raised the cell phone in his hand and dialed a number with a move of his finger.
"Why do you have so many numbers, Conan?" Yoshida Ayumi, who deeply felt that she was excluded from her friends, looked over angrily, "You too, and so does Xiao Ai, secretly saving so many people's information without telling them. We..."
"Because someone wants to run away, wants to be a great detective, and has no team spirit." Motojima snorted twice.
"Coincidence, coincidence, I stayed with him for a long time last time..." Listening to the dialing ringtone that kept ringing in the receiver, Conan sneered twice, trying to calm the restless children.
In fact, he didn't have Kitagawa Yusuke's number. He only spent one day with him and had one meal with him.
Oh, Xiaolan and Yuanzi do.
Sonoko is because she is now half of Kitagawa Yusuke's sponsor, and Xiaolan... Xiaolan didn't want to accept it because Kitagawa Yusuke, who wanted her to be a model, forced her to give her a mobile phone number. note.
Oh, he will tear it off when he gets back.
Conan just knows where he should find Kitagawa Yusuke.
————
Taking out his cell phone and looking at the incoming call notification twice, Karasawa glanced at Toru Amuro who was standing opposite him first reflexively.
This is the cell phone belonging to joker, and the person calling is Edogawa Conan.
He has installed locators for people, but when people call him and don’t answer the phone, it doesn’t seem appropriate.
But speaking in a joker's voice in front of Toru Amuro, even though he knew that the other party knew his identity, he still felt like he was committing a crime against the odds.
"What's wrong, do you need me to avoid it?" Toru Amuro raised his eyebrows after looking at the flashing mobile phone in Karasawa's hand intriguingly.
“No, no, it’s some personal matters.” Tang Ze sneered twice, put down the document with the key points circled in his hand, and tiptoed out of the cafe’s booth.
In fact, it is understandable for the detective classmate not to answer the phone now. After all, he is the leader of the Phantom Thieves of the Heart who has many things to do, so it is human nature to have no time to answer the phone.
The main thing was that Amuro, who had received a wave of new information, was so overwhelmed that he stopped him from school and brought him over to continue processing the information.
The air in the booth was too heavy, and Tang Ze felt that he needed some air.
"What a rare visitor, you still called me. Why, is there an emergency?" Turning his head to prevent his mouth shape from being seen by Amuro Tohru, Karasawa answered the phone.
"Well, Brother Kitagawa, it's me, Conan." On the other end, in front of a kind of friends and the police, Conan could only say in a crisp voice, "Do you still remember me? "
Tang Ze turned his head and looked at the receiver, then lowered his head to check the clothes he was wearing: "..."
It took a few seconds for Tang Ze to think about the morning. Only when I saw the front-page news did I realize what Conan was doing.
Well, it seems that just yesterday when they were playing in the Rice Flower Central Building, Yoshida Ayumi bumped into the arson criminal outside.
And now, Conan, who accompanied Ayumi to the police station to call the police, in addition to the juvenile detective team, there were also police officers from the First Investigation Division.
What Conan needs to find is Kitagawa Yusuke, who can draw portraits of criminals. He can't call him joker right away, so he can only talk like this.
Phew, that’s good.
It frightened him to death. Tang Ze almost thought that his flaws would be exposed easily, and a layer of his skin would simply be peeled off.
Bah, you can’t say it again, it’s unlucky.
"Oh, look for Yusuke. Is something wrong? He's still at school." Tangze, who was a little frightened, bleated a few times less actively.
"It's like this. We encountered a similar situation to last time. Ayumi saw a guy who was suspected of being a criminal. Could you please come to the police station and help with a criminal portrait simulation?"
