Chapter 675 The Dream of a Kite
“So, you ended up being a guest at Ms. Judy St. Timilion’s house, and on her way home, you bumped into the kidnapper who kidnapped the child... uh, Maori "Miss?"
In the light of the street lights at the port, after reading a long list of extremely difficult to pronounce katakana, the policeman raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him who was wrapped in a blanket and was lost in thought.
"Yes, yes!" Mao Lilan suddenly came back to her senses and responded. She turned to look at Judy who was sitting on the other side receiving the transcript. He hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes."
"Because that child is the classmate of the child at home, so you noticed something was wrong, right?" The young policeman summarized the problem just now while writing quickly in the manual.
Due to the low population density in the port area, the frequent criminal cases were basically limited to small cases such as theft and theft. He was a little fresh and excited to have the opportunity to record serious cases.
If it was a search lesson, we should have recognized a few of them by now.
"What about the kidnapper? Do you have any clues about the kidnapper's whereabouts?" the young policeman then asked.
In criminal cases involving serious nature, even if it is an on-site follow-up, we must pay attention to the rigor of the transcripts, make repeated inquiries, and compare the previous and later statements to make sure that the person being questioned has not concealed or deceived.
He faithfully implemented the theoretical knowledge he had learned and waited for Mao Lilan's answer.
"...I don't know." Not daring to be distracted and look at the other people present, Mao Lilan lowered his head, more like trying to convince himself than answering his question, "The kidnapper abandoned the car, blew up the gas tank and left."< br>
The real kidnapper is the blond woman who disguised herself as a new doctor, and the person who detonated the vehicle was her accomplice.
As for where the other accomplice she called "Calvados" went... She didn't dare to ask more, and Teacher Judy didn't take the initiative to tell her.
It has reached the point where the two sides are fighting with big guns. I am afraid the situation is more dangerous than bad.
Looking blankly at the blanket on his knees, Mao Lilan's thoughts continued to wander.
Yes, regarding the fact that no one should die in front of their eyes...it means something different to the police.
As the only profession on the island that can legally hold guns, the police are equipped with guns to protect themselves and to suppress threats of force. If the situation is urgent, in order to protect the safety of the people and themselves, they will shoot and kill the prisoners. For them, they are fulfilling their responsibilities.
Of course this is also murder, but...
Thinking of the familiar police officers in the 1st Investigation Section, thinking of the Japanese police officers they encountered when Karasawa was involved in the accident, and even, thinking of her. The father of...
Raising a gun for justice and hurting criminals to protect others is the right thing to do, right?
So, after learning these things, lying to protect them is also the right thing to do, right?
Mao Lilan tightened the blanket around her body, and her disordered heartbeat slowly returned to order.
This may be what Tangze wants to tell her.
That night, apart from hinting to her that Shinichi was involuntarily, these were probably the things he wanted to say.
Is this the world Shinichi is facing?
She looked at the moonlight that was faintly shining on the gray concrete floor under her feet, and she couldn't help but be lost in thought again.

“I don’t like that place.”
Sitting in Akechi Goro’s car, smelling the new but unfamiliar car freshener , Belmod's voice floated softly.
As she said herself, everything is like a dream.
"But I can't leave, I can't do it. I am a person without roots. From my birth, everything has been a long-term plan."
Speaking of letting the other party dream for me, Bell Mod did not explain the meaning of this sentence, and seemed to be talking to himself from beginning to end.
“I can’t escape. Starting from the root of the spirit. Crows are everywhere, they are God’s eyes and ears, and I am just God’s creation, a clay sculpture and a statue, a miracle and mercy, Only, he is not a human being."
Even though her expression remained calm, her word order gradually began to fall into chaos. As she spoke, various metaphors took turns, which made Tangze frown secretly while driving.
He had seen this symptom in other people.
...That poor Futo Kyousuke, who was so fooled by their debuffs and the devices he made that he couldn't even speak to others about his experience in the cognitive world.
He previously thought that after she disguised herself and entered the prison and met Futo Kyosuke, she told Gin without thinking that Kumail had used her own methods to make Futo Kyosuke insane, so even if Futo Kyosuke It fell into the hands of the police and still posed no threat to the organization. This cannot be regarded as Kumail's mistake. Most of it should be due to Belmode's care for the Plastic Alliance.
Look now, she might really be so convinced.
Because she is such a poor person who can't even control her brain.
Knowing what irrelevant content was coming out of his mouth, Belmod's expression was very calm.
She has long been used to it.
"On the surface, they regard me as a miracle and call me a saint, but I am just a creature that was abandoned casually, and I am just a crow. Do you understand what I am saying, Kumail ?”
Tangze, who also drove the car calmly, didn’t even move his expression.
Although I don’t know why she is so confident in him, I don’t really understand.
However, combined with the investigation results given by Team Zero and the chips that Toru Amuro extorted from Belmod, he could roughly imagine Belmod's situation.
So, this passage probably means...
"On the surface, you are that adult's child."
Turn the steering wheel and drive towards the highway, Tang Ze's He spoke very slowly. He had to always pay attention to Belmode's reaction and adjust the content of his words.
"But you have never been regarded as his heir, even he thinks so."
The above content comes from Karasawa's interpretation of the riddle, and the following part is from Amuro The thorough investigation concluded.
This is also the bargaining chip he can use to blackmail Belmode.
"You are the child he created for himself using biological means, right?"
"Have you found Bourbon's investigation information?" Belmod raised his eyebrows .
Isn’t that right? After all, he gave the direction of the investigation. It would be unkind not to share the results with his collaborator.
Saying this in his heart, Tang Ze shook his head: "I vaguely found some clues. I didn't hear everything from him. You just said it, and I can see some extra things." Something'."
Misleading Bellmode's guess and making her interpret Karasawa's super-travel information as a sequelae caused by the experiment is a very important prerequisite in Karasawa's script.
This will further deepen Belmode's trust in him, recognize that they have exactly the same position, and will also lay the foundation for new scams in the future.
When it comes to acting, Tang Ze is really serious.
Laughing softly twice, Belmod held up his chin and changed the question.
“How old do you think I am?”
————
"...My parents, as well as Karasawa's parents, are conducting very dangerous cutting-edge research." Standing in front of Mao Lilan, Haihara Ai explained softly, "They , almost all of them were killed."
"How could this happen?" Mao Lilan fell to the ground in shock, "Tang Ze told me before that his parents died in a laboratory accident... "
"Yes, that's what they say to the outside world." Haibara Ai nodded calmly, "We can't find any other evidence."
"Mr. Karasawa Ikawa and Karasawa Leo. Ms. Na's death was very sudden." Judy, who stood up straight, pulled out a damaged blood bag from the clothes on her abdomen. Of course she would not be hurt by Belmode again because she had been prepared. "They were imprisoned. During this period, Xiuyi established contact with us, and the two of them can be regarded as our informants.”
"Two months before Karasawa came to Tokyo, they suddenly lost contact. A few days later, news of his death came. Therefore, I rushed to Tokyo to try to protect Karasawa's safety." I skipped my undercover status and subsequent exposure. Shuichi Akai explained calmly the series of chain reactions caused.
"Two months ago, so, was the case involving Tang Ze also part of the persecution?!" Mao Lilan opened her eyes in shock.
“Yes.” Haiyuan Ai nodded.
"So, so, you and Conan are in similar situations...?" Mao Lilan, who finally connected everything, pointed tremblingly at Haihara Ai's face that looked a bit like Karasawa.
"I am indeed Tangze's sister...but I am already 18 years old." Haiyuan Ai pursed her lips and looked away.
"Oh my God, so..." Mao Lilan held her face and fell into self-conscious shock, "In order to investigate Kara Ze's case, Shinichi became like this?" "Uh..." I couldn't bear it. After the shell got stuck, Haiyuan Ai glanced at Tang Ze, who was holding a sniper rifle and standing not far away without saying a word. He nodded reluctantly, "Da, probably..."
Tangze, who always blames others, rarely takes the blame once: "..."
"But, in this case, since that photo was the result of Teacher Judy's investigation, So what Tang Ze said was the abuse he suffered in those two months, was it done by Akechi-kun?" Mao Lilan, who felt that she had connected all the logic, couldn't control her voice, "That's what that picture is about. !”
Damn it, then why did Karasawa repeatedly say that Goro Akechi was his friend...
Could it be that some kind of Stockholm was born out of bullying and abuse?
Oh my god, why is this... No wonder Karasawa insisted that he had no other friends before arriving in Tokyo...
"This, this..." Judy glanced sideways and had nothing to do. Karasawa, who was frightening children, said, "Well, we are still investigating. You can be appropriately wary of Akechi Goro."
Akechi Goro's identity does not have much interaction with them, so he remains with this identity Distance can indeed effectively reduce the organization's gaze on these children... right?
Harm, it was Tangze’s own trick, and he would have to bear the consequences himself.
Tangze, who directed and acted in the entire play, was very calm.
We have indeed reached such a stage of the plot. Next, Belmod will almost discover the second half of his script.
I hope she really pays as much attention to angel as she said, otherwise no one will take the next part, right?

“The first recorded test-tube baby was born in 1978, and Belmod’s real age is much older than this... In this way, you may understand me Meaning.”
"I can probably understand. She is a product of artificial fertilization similar to in vitro fertilization created by the boss? The technology at that time was very immature, let alone surviving to this day. It is a miracle that she can survive."
"Yes. , her lifespan should be extremely short."
"Let them do whatever it takes to survive?"
"Yes, it's useless anyway. It is enough to test the medicine for him as a defective product. We speculate that that person may have some kind of fertility defect, or he cannot reproduce naturally due to physical reasons. This is especially true when he comes to Belmod. It's impossible for her to have fertility."
"A humanoid guinea pig that exists purely for experimentation sounds really sad."
"And she has been manipulated too much. She is a puppet created on strings. That's why the people in the organization will trust her so much, and the boss will indulge her so much. She has no ability to resist at all."
—— ——
"So, no matter how outrageous your actions are, you only need a light command anyway, and you will become a docile lamb again." Tang Ze simply concluded after finishing his memories, "You don't even have the ability to dream."
Closing his eyes, Belmode, who couldn't help but feel sleepy due to pain and exhaustion, just curled his lips.
Of course without the ability to dream, it was extremely difficult for her to even fall asleep.
Such days have passed for so long that I can't even remember where they started.
How much of this was a side effect of the drug, and how much was her deficient genes protesting in this cage-like body, she couldn't tell at all.
She only knew that if those taboo studies had not begun and would yield no results, a life as miserable as hers would not exist at all.
She hates them so much, hates everything about it, and of course she hates herself who was born here.
Hate this pain, hate this lack of freedom.
When the kite is flown into the sky and you see the free flying bird, you will only resent them. Why should they let an artificial object give the illusion of flying?
Unfortunately, kites cannot dream.
"Just find a roadside and drop me off, take away the storage contents on my phone and coolguy device and destroy them. Dream for me, I think, have a good sleep."
The moment of respite tonight is just a nap, a peaceful corner.
Leaning on the seat, Belmod's consciousness began to blur again.
Give me a good night's sleep.
Become a silver bullet that pierces my heart, making me close my eyes and never have to open them again.

“Kudo Shinichi? Who is that?” Gin, who parked his car by the bridge, said with a cold expression, “I’ve never heard of it.”
< br>"That's right, the brat that big brother poisoned to death with the organization's new drug seems to be a detective..." Vodka, who was hiding in the corner, whispered to the other end of the phone.
"I never remember the faces and names of people who have been killed." Lighting a cigarette for himself, Gin replied calmly, "Then, what are you going to say? Are you going to say that he is dead?" Are people here again? You are going to the Halloween party, not to be a ghost, Vodka."
"It doesn't seem like that..." He glanced in the direction of the door. Thinking of the dark-skinned young detective he had just met, Vodka hesitated.
“Why are you wearing makeup like Kudo again?” Suzuki Sonoko sighed, “Is this the second time?”
Thankfully, she still thinks this handsome and athletic boy is very attractive. , dressing up like a mystery maniac all day long, and speaking in such a similar tone, it doesn’t interest anyone at all, okay?
"Sorry, sorry, didn't I just receive the invitation? I was thinking that I was exposed so quickly last time, so I have to be well prepared this time. How about, did I deceive you?" Hattori Heiji joked with a smile, "After all the results are like this, he still hasn't come out, maybe he really died like the rumors said."
"If Xiaoran comes today, I will definitely kick your hand off." Mouri Kogoro said angrily after Hattori Heiji used the telescopic mechanism to demonstrate the detachable palm.
Don't make it sound like he has any special acting hobbies, okay?
There is no other way. Kudo and Karasawa came to him for help, saying that it was to complete the plan, and there were probably other members of the organization on the ship, such as Kumail who arrogantly signed the letter secretly. Of...
Even now, who can say that there are no members of the organization on board?
"When it comes to disguise or makeup, well, if you haven't seen the person in person, is it difficult to do it exactly the same?" Vodka held it in for a long time and finally asked.
What else to say? He was shocked when he saw Kudo Shinichi show up. When he finally found a hidden location to make the call, the other party took off his hood and announced that it was a fake.
What else can he do? All the calls to Big Brother have been made...
"Don't ask stupid questions. Is Karasaki not dead? Kumail only saw his photo. , the disguise is already perfect." Ginjiu snorted and didn't want to listen any more.
Well... If you have to say it, brother, it was the first time I met Kumail, and he was a little bit different from the one in the photo.
Vodka, who did not dare to admit that his eldest brother might be face blind, scratched his face in embarrassment and scratched a hand of paint.
In order to make the zombie image with make-up as realistic as possible, he added two holes on the face. Now that he suddenly touches it, it feels disgusting.
"Okay, since Belmod has committed a murder on the ship, the police are expected to arrive soon. You should hurry up and get off the ship before you are discovered. If the locator on your body appears in a place it shouldn't be , the next target is you." Ginjiu hung up the phone without talking anymore.
Even the code name has been heard by ordinary people outside the organization. This alone is enough for the organization to be dissatisfied with Belmode's action this time.
This woman can finally get away, even if it is temporarily.
“…this gentleman?”
As soon as the phone was hung up, before Vodka could relax, a voice suddenly came from behind him, making him turn around suddenly in fright.
The bartender wearing a skull mask was standing in front of the bathroom door. The pale mask was very realistic, and the eyes of the mask even fluoresced slightly, making Vodka shiver.
"Are you okay? Do you need any help? The ship will return to the port soon. According to the police's requirements, we will start to evacuate the guests and register their names." It was scary, but the bartender's voice was polite and seemed to It really reminds him of his appearance.
A completely standard service tone. It seemed that I didn’t hear anything. Vodka breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, I get it. I'll go out right now."
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."
Watching Vodka hurriedly leave the cabin, the skull-masked bartender waited until he was gone before pressing the intercom on his chest.
Toru Amuro's voice came out from under the mask.
"Well, Vodka is carrying a locator, so we can't try our luck tonight. Let's close the team first."
