Chapter 684: Getting Together
After applying the last stroke of acrylic paint on the canvas, Tangze stopped what he was doing and looked at the crowd next to him.
Separated by many human walls, although it is not yet certain which one it is, the magician's Tarot is dangling not far away from him. Toru Amuro has arrived at the scene, and may be observing them. Two locations.
Imagining Toru Amuro's experience at this moment, Karasawa felt inexplicably funny.
Well, he didn't mean it, but when he received the specific meeting place notification from Conan, he knew that today's scene would be difficult to keep normal.
Of course he has an impression of this case, and even roughly remembers the circumstances of the murderer.
But the problem is that the manga does not include a map of the crime location, and he did not expect that in this case Ayumi bumped into the prisoner at an intersection near 2-chome.
In order to facilitate the support of the Phantom Thieves, after communicating with Noah's Ark, Zhufu Jingguang asked him to set the signal not far from the Phantom Thieves' stronghold, so that even if there was an exaggerated misunderstanding, Something like that, it might as well end better.
It happens to be on this corner.
So, when Karasawa, who was holding heavy painting tools, met again, Kagemitsu Morofushi, who was fully armed and holding a bass, the scene was really exciting.
However, the police officers who rushed to protect the scene had already arrived, and a crowd of spectators had gathered. According to Tangze's observation of opening the map on the spot, Fangtani Rei had also rushed to the scene, and everything had settled.
What else can we do? That’s it. Let’s paint/play the piano.
In this way, the two street artists, surrounded by the crowd, were forced to calmly start their performance.
"Senior," Tangze, who had basically finished the painting and counted with his fingers, it was almost time to go on stage, squeezed out a sentence from the corner of his mouth, "it's time for me to go find the police. You continue to wait here. Is Mr. Gu coming?”
“Maybe he’s already here.” Zhu Fu Jingguang stopped what he was doing, “If he’s not in the crowd, he’s observing me from a high position.”
Although he spoke in a hypothetical tone, his tone of voice was very certain.
According to his understanding of Jiang Guling, the more emergencies like this, the higher the efficiency of Jiang Guling will be. His ability to make decisive decisions without delay, and his strong execution ability, in In the three years since I left, I have only been honed to become more and more proficient. When encountering such a big safety crisis, there is no way that I can delay the matter overnight.
"Go and do your business first. I can solve my problem by myself." Zhu Fu Jingguang shrugged, as if taking an intermission, and first hugged Bess on his side. In his arms, he also stopped playing.
He guessed that according to Zero's character, he would have to spend some more time to confirm the conclusion. He would wait until the surrounding crowd dispersed or he took the initiative to leave the surroundings of the citizens before he would find a way to get closer.
This guy's desire for control is all reflected in formulating and executing plans.
Watching Tang Ze put down his painting tools in disguise, seemingly calm, but walking quickly towards the warning area, Zhu Fu Jingguang couldn't help but burst out laughing again.
As for this, they probably wanted him to distract Zero so that he could stay away from the battlefield.
Once the truth is discovered, all the unknown anger that Zero can't let go of will probably be directed at this kid who quietly causes big troubles.
Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled and shook his head, adjusted his sitting posture, and picked up Bess again.
Forget it, this is the one who owes the favor after all. And what he needs now is zero's observation of himself.
As more and more clear details are revealed, Zero will probably fall into an incredible struggle.
Thinking like this, a string of notes flowed out of his fingertips.
“Don’tcryforme…ThetruthisIneverleftyou.”

“I don’t know exactly what he dropped, but it must be something related to 5 Something." Yoshida Ayumi was very sure as she carefully recalled all the details.
"5? The number 5?" Miwako Sato frowned, trying hard to understand what Ayumi wanted to express.
"Because when he left, I found that there was a...um..." printed on the palm of my right hand. Ayumi gestured and found it difficult to describe, frowning slightly.
Well, it seems that it would be easier to understand if she drew it, but she didn't bring her schoolbag...
When she was distressed, a sketchbook with a pencil was handed to her.
Yoshida Ayumi raised her head in surprise: "Brother Kitagawa!"
"If you can't describe it, just draw it." Tang Ze raised his chin.
"Okay!" Ayumi happily started writing, trying to accurately reproduce the lines she saw in the afternoon on the paper.
When she started to draw, she was in a very excited and happy mood, and her fear of encountering the murderer seemed to be dispelled by the person standing in front of her.
She knew that the Phantom Thieves of the Heart would not sit idly by in such a major impact case!
Tangze, who held the notebook steadily for Ayumi so that she could pick up the pen and draw, was thinking about things that had nothing to do with the case. After all, he knew very well that even if he couldn't come, as long as Ayumi asked , paper and pen are easy to obtain, and there is actually no need for him to appear.
After all, Conan said that he was just here to play the role of a spiritual symbol, similar to a mascot sent to express his attitude.
Tang Ze looked down at the marks Ayumi drew on the paper, thinking vaguely.
I hope Jiangu Ling and Zhu Fu Jingguang will not fight.
Or it’s okay to start a fight, just don’t think of him until you calm down.
Tangze, who has received identity information that is basically equivalent to the last resort, is very afraid to move now.
Considering that he finally came back from the dead, Jiangu Ling probably wouldn't be cruel to Zhu Fu Jingguang, but that's not necessarily true for him.
Karasawa has done a lot of things, and will do more things in the future. There are too many things that deserve to be sorted out by the guardian...
"Such a shape, it is said that it is The number 5, or the letter S, seems to work." Several people around Ayumi came over to look at the snake pattern she drew on the paper.
“It’s more like the logo of something. What’s the size? How big is it approximately?” Sato Miwako quickly took out her mobile phone to take a picture, preparing to send it to her colleagues in the technical investigation, and asked by the way.
"Probably, it's about this big." Ayumi gestured with her small hands.
"It's very small, only about the size of a 50 yen coin." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya compared it secretly and shook his head, "If this is some kind of game currency, it will not be easy to confirm the identity of the prisoner."
"In short, let's use our brains to think about the meaning of this mark." Miwako Sato took the notebook and comforted her with a smile.
Considering as a child, it is a blessing among misfortunes that the witness Ayumi Yoshida can provide such detailed information in a case where the range of suspects has not yet been determined.
At this moment, Yoshida Ayumi, who raised her head to wait for praise, looked over Miwako Sato's shoulder and saw a figure wearing a peaked cap with a raincoat firmly buttoned under his nose.
Like a dark shadow, the man stared silently at the center of the crowd, watching the primary school students discussing with high spirits.
A cold feeling, soaked by the heavy rain, crawled down her spine, and Ayumi Yoshida seemed to feel the coldness and panic of that moment again.
She instinctively widened her eyes, pointed in that direction and shouted.
“Over there, that murderer, right over there!”
The little girl’s voice was so penetrating that in an instant, everyone around her turned their heads. , looking in the direction of her finger.
After being shouted out, the guy standing in the crowd immediately turned his back and moved outside. Several people only saw the back of a yellow raincoat.
Several elementary school students who had seen this silhouette earlier immediately sprinted in this direction.
“Don’t even think about running away!”
“You guy!”
“Ah——” The woman who was hit by the chubby Kojima Moto couldn’t help but scream. A sound.
“Don’t, don’t squeeze me, I’m going to fall!”
"You are the ones, get out of the way!"
Too many onlookers have already surrounded this intersection. It is simply unreasonable to want to cross the crowded crowd immediately and catch the escaping prisoner. matter.
Conan struggled to pass through the gaps in the crowd while shouting outside: "Please, please catch the man in the raincoat and peaked cap! He is a serial murderer!"
————
The small street corner and alley, with the police blockade and the two guys who had nothing to do here to perform for free, added to the flames, dozens of people gathered, and it was dark. . That's a good thing for Fangya Zero, who needs to hide his arrival.
The noisy and crowded crowd gave him the opportunity to concentrate on observing the man sitting a few meters away without attracting anyone's attention. The situation seemed to have returned to a short-term favorable environment where the enemy was in darkness and we were in darkness.
No matter who this person is, judging from the teasing tone of the other party and the content of the email that seems to want to discuss and use this handle to make a deal, otherwise he has no intention of informing this discovery. organization, otherwise, the organization has not really verified his true situation.
There is still room for change, and he still has time to observe the situation and decide whether to contact this guy.
However, the more he observed, the more frightened Jianggu Ling became.
It's so similar, so similar.
The small movements of playing the bass, the posture of holding the bass, and the faint singing voice that can be heard through the noisy crowd...
If I hadn't really seen Zhu Fu Jingguang If he died in front of him and confirmed the state of the body without giving up, or if it were another time when his mood was more unstable and Jing had just left, he would have completely ignored any traps or temptations and wanted to He leaned closer without wanting to.
A kind of deep anger and uneasiness, and another kind of speculation that was vaguely emerging, but was repeatedly suppressed by his reason, wandered back and forth in his heart.
No, he has to find a way to get closer. He has to hear clearly what this man is saying and singing...
Toru Amuro, who was paying all his attention in the direction of the bench, didn't come back to his senses until the crowd very close to him began to commotion, and realized that something seemed to be wrong at the investigation site over there.
He turned his head and looked in the direction of the alley.
"Stop, that's Takagi!" Sato Miwako's loud shout was very penetrating, "The rain just stopped not long ago, and now there are people wearing raincoats everywhere!"
"But I did see the prisoner! Yellow raincoat! Wear a peaked cap!" Yoshida Ayumi's high-pitched childish voice was better than her tone.
"Then just catch everyone wearing raincoats first! Why don't we just apologize!" Conan, who pulled up Takagi Wataru who was knocked to the ground, yelled back in a shocked voice. .
"There's a guy with a yellow raincoat here!" Genta Kojima's voice was full of energy.
"No, that one is obviously a lady! The prisoner also has a cap!" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya grabbed him before he bumped into the wrong person again.
Yellow raincoat? Peaked cap?
After understanding a little bit about the situation at the scene, Jiang Guling lowered his head and looked at the bright yellow raincoat on his body.
This, it seems...
Before he could react, the people around him were already shouting: "There is one here too!"
————
Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was playing bass leisurely, heard over there He frowned and stood up straight.
Although he has been an undercover agent for three years, Zhu Fu Jingguang has always treated himself as a police officer regarding his identity and his daily behavior and habits.
——It’s funny to say that when Scotland, Bourbon and Ley act together, they will really encounter rough roads from time to time and punish some sneaky people with evil intentions.
In order not to make themselves look too suspicious, they have to make up for their behavior that is not consistent with the members of the organization every time.
For example, the criminals are too shameless to watch, they cause chaos in public order and affect the execution of tasks, they look like deer heads and rat brains and they are not pleasing to the eye...
Approved Karasawa's explanation confirmed that Morohoshi, oh no, Akai Shuichi who appeared in front of him before his death, was really an undercover FBI agent. Morofuku Jingguang couldn't help but feel a hint of black humor in the scene at that time.
Three undercover police officers teamed up, vying to show that they were not good people...
My thoughts briefly diverged for a moment, and I heard several people not far away identify a man wearing a After the suspicious guy, Zhu Fu Jingguang put down his bass without thinking and rushed over with a quick stride.
If Zero was really staring at him, he wouldn't mind if he acted a little bravely, right?
Rei Fangtani, who was thinking about him, frowned while avoiding the pointing hands of the crowd around him, trying hard to squeeze out of the crowd.
Normally it doesn't matter, but now he is in a precarious situation. This is not the time to reveal his appearance casually.
It didn't matter that he was still. When he moved, he reached down and pulled the brim of the raincoat down, as if he wanted to completely hide his appearance, which made his appearance even more suspicious.
As the saying goes, why would you be running if you weren’t you?
As a result, the people around him became more and more certain that there was something wrong with this person. Even if he was not a criminal, he was probably someone with something evil in mind.
“Catch him, don’t let him escape!”
“Here, catch one here too!”
Hearing the noisy shouting next to him, he dropped Gu Ling relied on his flexible body condition to dodge left and right, squeezing out a meter or two.
Rarely, he was slightly troubled by the Mihua people's growing awareness of anti-terrorism.
Sometimes, the onlookers are too enthusiastic, which is also a trouble...
At this moment, a hand passed through other people's shoulders and grabbed his right shoulder.
This hand is extremely fast, with a sharp and precise aim, a clear target, and a very scientific direction of force. It is obviously intended to directly disable his mobility and capture the person in one fell swoop.
A subtle sense of familiarity quickly flashed through his mind, and Fang Gulii suddenly had an idea.
If he didn't release his force now and avoid the opponent's movement to exert force to the side, in the next second, his elbow would be grabbed by the opponent and he would be pushed to the ground in a grappling posture.
Almost as a conditioned reflex, Fangtani Ling suddenly lowered his body backwards, letting the hand that suddenly exerted force twist away.
Zhu Fu Jingguang was also a little confused when he failed to control the suspect as quickly as expected.
It’s strange that his skills in this area are targeted physical skills that he specially practiced after joining the organization. Let alone ordinary people, people with even a little bit of physical skills will not be able to attack him so quickly. It's hard to even react.
Three years after leaving this world, do ordinary prisoners today have this quality?
Without thinking much, Zhu Fu Jingguang immediately took another step forward, narrowed the distance, aimed at the opponent's neck, tried to hook his neck with his elbow, and quickly subdued the person with the pinch of his arms.
As if he had anticipated his move, the moment his arm came closer with the sound of wind, Fangtani Rei turned his head to avoid the inevitable heavy blow, and reached out to firmly clasp the attacker's elbow. The body, the wrist suddenly increases the force, trying to make the person lose balance.
However, the other party seemed to be very familiar with his preparatory movements, and the force that exploded was steadily contained, not only resisting his pull, but also in turn relieved the strength of his grasp, and from his hand Withdrew his arm.
The increasingly subtle sense of familiarity lingered in his heart, and Rei Fangtani instinctively felt that the next attack would come from the direction of his knees.
He immediately jumped from where he was originally standing and took a step forward. Sure enough, a quick kick grazed the back of his knee and slid over.
Taking the opportunity to move, Fangtani Rei turned around and finally faced the attacker head-on.
Looking at the man who also had his face hidden in a hat, Fukiya Rei's eyes widened.
All the familiarity, all the physical movements that seemed to have been used against each other, and the opponent's methods are very familiar...
An impossible name, this time it really came to my mind to his lips.
Every attack failed, and Zhu Fu Jingguang was also in a daze.
But when he saw the person in front of him stopped moving, revealing the flaw in the gap, he finally seized the opportunity and rushed forward without hesitation, directly knocking down the guy who was standing there without moving. , suppressing him to the ground with his forearms.
With this movement, the distance between the two people became very close, so close that they could finally see through the shadows of their respective hat brims and clearly see the face hidden in the darkness.
“Zero…” Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned.
Fenggu Ling, who fell to the ground, his eyes were about to burst, and when he came to the address on his lips, he blurted out: "Hiro..."
————
Being guilty of being a thief The murderer quickly tore off the hood of the raincoat, threw the peaked cap away randomly, and when he raised his head again...
To his left, a primary school student and a policeman grabbed two passers-by respectively, shouting and screaming in succession.
To his right, heroic passers-by and innocent people who staged a rapid and full-scale martial arts attack have been pinned to the ground.
Staffed for a moment, the confused murderer thought about it and tiptoed towards his vehicle.
Everyone has been beaten into a pot of porridge. Probably no one has time to notice him...
