Chapter 694 Tang Ze: The team is coming quickly!
"This Kitagawa, standing next to his teacher, looks quite serious..." Mouri Kogoro looked sideways at the picture in the newspaper in Conan's hand, and his tone was not very pleasant.
He hasn’t forgotten that this guy asked Xiaolan to become a nude model. He can’t give a good evaluation to this guy for the time being.
"It's good. He can finally find another place to live like this." Conan curled his lips, folded the newspaper and put it down, revealing the calm and composed Kisaragi Hosui and Kitagawa Yusuke standing in the exhibition hall. A group photo in front of.
When he had nothing to do, he walked for several hours to paint and other places in the city. If he continued like this, he was afraid that Kitagawa Yusuke would not become an artist and would participate in a triathlon first.
"Why, he won the grand prize, and his teacher will provide him with a place to stay? Then this painter is pretty good." Mouri Kogoro, who glanced at the old man's face with disinterest, finally paid attention after hearing this. I looked at the photo of an old man with gray hair and a linen kimono.
"Probably, after all, his teacher's house is very big. This matter has made the news. Because of his love for Mount Fuji, he spent his life savings to build a house with a better view, which is convenient for him all the time. I can see Mount Fuji and continue my artistic creation.”
And it’s not convenient to go out and watch out for the Phantom Thief in the school dormitory all the time, right? Imagine, if Kaitou Kid needs to live in the school dormitory, catching him only requires a dormitory contraband check or something...
"Your desserts." Toru Amuro approached with a tray and looked at it. Without looking, he pressed the cup directly on the newspaper, which happened to cover Kitagawa Yusuke's face in the photo.
In the past few days, he didn't want to see this face very much.
Even if there is a familiar hair under the skin, it won't work.
When he saw this face, Toru Amuro couldn't help but recall some teeth-itching memories, and the front-page headline of the newspaper in front of him automatically changed to "Shocked!" Members of the black organization's codename sneaked into college campuses late at night to do this kind of thing..."
This is not an unreasonable association from Toru Amuro, this is an email sent to him by Karasawa after knowing how he completed the disguise of his identity.
As expected, he was beaten lightly when he got angry that day. If there was another chance like this, he would have to ask Jing to hold Tang Ze down for him and punch him a few more times.
Thinking about this, when Toru Amuro put coffee on Karasawa's table, he almost smashed the glass in front of him.
Karasawa, who was writing and drawing in his notebook and planning the next palace strategy, suddenly woke up and faced the face of Toru Amuro, who had been forced to work overtime for many days and had dark circles under his eyes that could not be covered by his skin color.
Well, it’s not incomprehensible to have some personal vendetta and work overtime to get crazy.
Tang Ze Shiran put the coffee to his mouth and took a few sips, and once again sorted out the situation in Ruyue Fengshui's palace.
Hosui Kisaragi, who has closely tied his lifelong artistic pursuit to Mount Fuji, has a very strong obsession. This obsession can drive him to plan his life and imagine the future around Mount Fuji, and it can make him work for Mount Fuji. The lost beauty killed a group of wealthy businessmen and politicians, which naturally gave him strong control over the palace.
Ruyue Fengshui's residence is a single-family villa halfway up a mountain. This is the location of his palace and the starting point of the entire palace.
In other words, because in Kisaragi Hosui's persistent concept, this house is an important node connecting him with Mount Fuji, so it naturally becomes the starting point to the various Mount Fujis in his palace.
This is the reason why Karasawa insists on reactivating Kitagawa Yusuke's identity, and does not hesitate to use Kid's artistic creative ability to establish a master-disciple relationship with Kisaragi Hosui.
In order to impress this stubborn little old man, after careful consideration, Karasawa chose this art award as a breakthrough point and used Mount Fuji as the theme to complete his creation. Finally, he got his wish and confirmed his status as a loan student.
Now, Kitagawa Yusuke has become a freer existence than Goro Akechi, who does not need to go to school.
From the school's point of view, Kitagawa Yusuke, who has been recognized by the master, is like a closed disciple of Kisaragi Hosui. In the profession of painting, the traditional apprenticeship model is not uncommon. He directly moved to Kisaragi Hosui's permanent residence. Very normal situation.
On Ruyue Fengshui's side, he was basically in a daze, half-inviting and half-intentionally adding a student. However, since the other person's creative ideas were more consistent with his own, and he was an art creator who had already been recognized by awards, it would not be a loss for him to have one more student. Like his other students, it is also normal to have free use of the studio in his residence that has the best view and can directly see Mount Fuji.
So, if you follow his identity and verify it, the notes about his poor family background, having moved out of school, being obsessed with creation and not familiar with his classmates, etc., can all be confirmed one by one. Tangze is completely I'm not afraid of revealing my secrets or not.
The next step is to consider how to deal with the palace of Ruyue Fengshui, and how to follow the other party to the unveiling ceremony of the Twin Towers to have fun...
"So, Mr. Mori is now relatively In a leisurely state?" Seeing Mouri Kogoro and Conan each holding desserts and snacks, Azusa Enomoto suddenly said, "Well, I have a commission for you. However, I would like to commission a famous detective to do this. As for the little things..."
"Eh? Did Miss Azusa encounter any problem?" Mouri Kogoro, who had already started running downstairs with his children to eat ice, cheered up, "It's with me. Is it about personal safety? Stalker, break-in? Or, has your boyfriend changed his mind?”
It’s not that Mouri Kogoro likes to arrange people, the main reason is that the situations encountered by young girls who seek private detectives are nothing more than these. Some even mix all the above elements. For him, this kind of conditioned reflex is basically Got inertia.
"How could it be? That's definitely not the case." Azusa Enomoto waved her hand quickly, "I found the lost item in the store, but I waited for two days and no one came to find it, so I hope you can help find the owner. "
"Ah, looking for someone..." Mouri Kogoro nodded, his face not showing, and his hand had already touched the cup of ice drink again.
This is a relatively boring commission, without even a hint of fun for young people.
"This is it." Azusa Enomoto groped in the pocket of her apron, quickly found a mobile phone, and handed it to Mouri Kogoro.
Mouri Kogoro pressed the power button in confusion and was surprised to find that there was no lock screen password set on the phone and he could directly enter the interface.
"Mobile phone? The decoration is quite special. However, since the mobile phone has power and the phone card is also there, if the owner really wants to find it, just make a call." Simply check the situation, Kogoro Mori This time it finally felt a little weird.
Lost a mobile phone, unless the person who picked it up has evil intentions, or the mobile phone was stolen and turned off directly, otherwise this should be the easiest loss to deal with. If you really can’t find it, take it to the police to check the phone card. It's not hard to find someone.
Generally speaking, in this case, something happened when the owner left the cafe...
"Someone did call this number, and called it three times... Azusa Enomoto felt embarrassed, "I received them all, but I still can't find the owner."
"Oh?"
"The first time I called, the person on the other side said, 'Sorry, I dialed the wrong number,' and then hung up. However, within a few minutes, I called again and said 'Hey, that's weird, did the phone ring just now? 'The phone hung up again before I could speak."
Enomoto Azusa held her chin and frowned in distress.
“Oh, this must be the owner using a friend’s phone to call his own phone, trying to find the phone by the ringtone, right? It’s just that he didn’t realize that the phone was lost in the coffee shop. It was not around at all, so naturally he couldn’t find it. ." Mouri Kogoro quickly gave an inference.
“No, the person calling doesn’t seem to be the owner. Because when he called for the third time, the other person’s tone completely changed.”
Having said this, Azusa Enomoto rubbed his hands together uneasily.
"'Hey! Are you that guy's woman? Let him answer the phone! I'm going to kill him!' Just, he roared like this."
Recall With such deep malice, Azusa Enomoto couldn't help but shudder again.
I picked up the lost mobile phone and answered the call kindly, thinking that I could return the lost item to the owner, but I received an inexplicable and disturbing phone call. It was too strange that an accident was going to happen next.
“I was a little scared, so I hung up the phone without daring to answer, and then turned off the phone. The next day, I felt that this was not good, so I turned the phone back on, but it didn’t work all day since then. Another call came..."
Conan and Mouri Kogoro looked at each other, finally showing some interest.
At the very least, it sounds like the owner of the phone is indeed in trouble this time, which is a bit more interesting than simply looking for a cat, a dog, and a mistress.
Amuro Toru and Karasawa were also alert.
Toru Amuro, who was wiping the bar counter, had quietly come over. When he heard this, he took the initiative to ask: "You didn't even tell me about this, Miss Enomoto. What if I really get into trouble? I'm more or less a private detective now, so why are I looking for Mr. Detective Maori?" He asked in a half-joking, half-serious tone.
The mobile phone lost in Polo Cafe may not only be caused by the carelessness of the guest, but also must be taken into consideration by the two members of the organization who have been working and living here for a long time.
Not to mention, Tang Ze has a more complicated identity problem. What if the other party's target is actually him and Tang Ze...
"Isn't it that you have been busy these two days? "Mr. Amuro? I'm sorry, I don't mean I don't trust your firm." Azusa Enomoto waved her hands hurriedly, "I see you mentioned that Akechi-kun has been busy all day long, and the commission fee has been increased many times... …”
It’s not good to trouble colleagues to use their side jobs to help. This side job may be quite expensive, which is even worse. However, seeing that Mouri Kogoro seems to be really free, she took out this Consultation on matters that had troubled her for two days.
“No wonder there were no calls coming in later.” Conan fiddled with his phone a few times and said, “This phone can’t get through at all and has been shut down.”
"Eh? Is that so?" Azusa Enomoto was surprised. For fear of causing misunderstanding, she was too embarrassed to open her phone and look through it carefully. "Sure enough, I shouldn't have hung up..."
"Yes, that's normal. , the numbers dialed cannot be displayed." After briefly searching for the number, Conan nodded and comforted her, "It's okay, if it doesn't work, just send it to the police station. Do you remember what the customer who lost his phone looks like. , when did you come?”
“It was after noon, tea time. He was a middle-aged man who was a little fat, because he kept flipping on his mobile phone while eating. , the color of the casing of this mobile phone is relatively bright and unique, so I was deeply impressed..." Azusa Enomoto recalled slowly and answered in detail, "The first call came about an hour after he left, and the second one The first one was only a few minutes away, and then the third time, it was about half an hour later."
"All the past call records were cleared," Mouri Kogoro rummaged through it twice and frowned. "But the address book contains a lot of names and phone numbers..."
"Do you need to dial out from the address book to try?" Toru Amuro naturally walked next to the two people and followed them to study this weird thing. cell phone and try to find more clues that can reveal the truth.
Although it was unlikely, he still had to rule out the possibility that the other party was targeting him or Tang Ze.
If it is related to the organization, he must process the relevant information as quickly as possible to avoid affecting the normal life of the cafe, let alone involve the innocent Azusa Enomoto.
And if it is directed at Tang Ze or the more complicated identity behind him...it seems that he has to wipe his own ass.
Toru Amuro felt itchy in his fist again and took a deep breath.
"Something's not right. These numbers all start with 1 and are all ten digits. These are not phone numbers at all." After clicking on a few entries, Mouri Kogoro shook his head.
"The names are also very strange. Why do everyone's last names have Chinese characters, but their first names have changed to katakana? It's not normal at all." Conan swiped twice on the list, and his interest gradually increased.
The three detectives stood next to each other, looking down at the small mobile phone, and the atmosphere gradually became more intense.
"Well, some names have a black dot with a symbol behind them..."
"It's very much like a secret code, or some kind of secret word, used to show to specific people. Yes. Some people will use this method to secretly pass on information. Even if the things fall into the hands of unsuspecting people, such as us, the recorded things will not be exposed."
"But, take this. Generally speaking, shouldn’t writing things in your address book be for yourself? ”
"Don't forget, this phone was lost in the cafe by its owner. Maybe it was something that was meant to be handed over to someone, but something unexpected happened during the execution."
"Well , there is a certain truth. The mobile phone is not a lost item, but the information itself that needs to be transmitted. Can’t you tell, Amuro, you have a detective mind.” I am a novice, and I still need to learn from you..."
Kangsawa, who was also called back by Azusa Enomoto's words, just glanced at them, did not go over to look over there, and even moved his chair twice. , make sure you keep your distance from them.
The detective atmosphere there is a bit too intense, and there is a feeling that something could easily happen if you get too close.
Lowering his head again, Karasawa clicked on the Phantom Thieves' communication software.
The group is maintaining a lively frequency of daily communication among the Phantom Thieves.
[Karma: Is this the reason why people from that organization temporarily evacuated Tokyo? Recently, the Phantom Thief CH has been unable to keep up with the cleaning pace. He can complete the task in one morning, which is a bit unaccustomed. 】
[Lunar: You must not say that. If you were in the hospital, you would be beaten by your colleagues for speaking like that. 】
【Karma: Huh? 】
[Lunar: It’s okay, just a little weird superstition. Anyway, it’s okay to take a little rest. Jun Hui, don’t be fooled by your leader. There is no compensation for working overtime in the group. 】
[Karma: But if we don’t hurry up, it will take a long time to rescue the next police officer, right? Moreover, we can only deal with three or four people at one time like this, and we don’t even have the opportunity to show our work process to the new members. 】
[Zhu Fu Jingguang: Well... I really don’t need to prepare a code name or something first? I always feel that my format is different from yours. 】
[Hiro: Also, this question may be a little offensive, but what do you mean by killing three or four people at once? 】
[Hiro: ...Thank you Noah, uh, it still looks a little strange. 】
[Shade: Don’t worry, that sentence doesn’t mean killing people. We didn’t do anything illegal or criminal. 】
[Illusion: It doesn’t seem right when you say that. We are indeed a bit illegal. 】
[Lunar: It doesn’t matter. Due to the nature of his work, this policeman also committed some crimes during his lifetime. ]
[Hiro: This is... uh...]
[Joker: Don't worry, Sister Junhui, big life is coming! 】
[Karma: Huh? 】
[Lunar: Hey, so I told you not to say that. 】
【Joker: Have you ever heard of Baishou Shuhei? It doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard of it. In short, Noah, search it to see if this guy is on the subway. It feels like even if there is no palace, this is a guy who is about to become one. 】
[Karma: That’s what I said...]
[Lunar: What did you hear? You are very sure. Don’t you need additional investigation? 】
[Joker: This guy is participating in the parliamentary election. 】
[Lunar: That’s okay, there must be a palace. 】
[Joker: Okay, it seems we have an agreement. Just in time to give a demonstration to the new members, get ready to open the Double Bonus Shuhei, Yoneka Shopping Street 1=5, come quickly! 】
A little excessive.
I changed to new medicine today. After taking it, I became a little hypoglycemic and confused. I was allowed to overdo my daily routine and crawled.
