Chapter 697 Sincere Wishes
"What are you studying, kid?"
"Well, I'm looking at the numbers on my phone..." Conan, who was flipping through his address book, looked back and forth at these. These names slowly raised his eyebrows.
If you replace all the katakana names on your mobile phone with English, combined with the previous kanji, the list will look familiar...
Moori Kogoro squinted his eyes and read it. After a while, the back of his head instinctively covered his neck and he took a step back.
I always feel like this kid is going to start talking about it in the next second.
After Kudo Shinichi returned, Mao Lilan's attitude towards Conan underwent some subtle changes.
Although he is not as smart as those detectives, Mouri Kogoro is not mentally retarded. He is just not as smart as those keen smart people, and he seems to be a little stretched in the detective industry, which requires IQ in the high-end market.
First I changed the sleeping position of this kid, and then I never took him to the bathroom or bathroom. Even at the crime scene, only Mouri Kogoro was still struggling to support him. Stop this group of elementary school students who violated the rules from conducting random investigations.
Maori Lan didn’t say anything to him, but Maori Kogoro already had a vague hunch that the identity of this kid might be a big problem...
Thinking of this, he silently glanced at Toru Amuro.
Coincidentally, Toru Amuro was also looking at Kogoro Mori.
The information learned from Karasawa, combined with the investigation results of Team Zero, there is no doubt that Edogawa Conan is the missing high school student detective Kudo Shinichi.
Knowing this, plus the time when Edogawa Conan appeared and the sleeping Kogoro Mori, it is obvious that the idea of solving the case in my dream is fishy.
I just don’t know, this confused detective is not clear about himself...
The two insiders who more or less understood Conan's identity looked at each other, and at the same time looked at the two ladies in the room who really had no idea.
Forget it, let’s cover up for this child.
Toru Amuro cleared her throat and said before Conan began to cast spells: "Yes, there are no numbers starting with 1, so this string of numbers must have other meanings... huh?"
< br>The melodious ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted Amuro Toru's words. He raised his eyebrows, smiled apologetically at the people present, picked up the phone and went out.
"It's me, what's wrong?" After walking out of the cafe, he put away his smile and asked seriously.
Considering the complicated itinerary of his multiple identities, under normal circumstances, Yu Kazami would not call him directly unless there was a special situation.
A direct phone call means that there is an urgent situation that requires his attention.
"Well, although you said that the priority of the Phantom Thieves can be postponed appropriately, but..." Yuya Kazami looked at the screen in front of him, did some mental construction, and then said carefully, "Uh, they A warning letter was just sent to the target we are observing..."
"Huh?"

"So, here is the reflection of the inner world of this guy named Beishou Zhouping?" Standing at the highest point of the jungle, looking down at the ground below, Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned.
When he was guessing about the palace that rewarded Zhou Ping, he didn't quite understand the concept of a palace, and he didn't expect that the desire after being embodied would be so ugly.
Just as his campaign slogan said, his palace is silent and completely resembles a primeval forest. Combined with the city made of steel and concrete, it has a unique apocalyptic apocalyptic style.
In the middle of this jungle, the tall trees have woven a huge curtain that blocks out the sky and the sun, making the land below dim. There is not even a trace of insects in the jungle, revealing that it is not It belongs to the original vitality of nature, but a chilling silence.
Sunlight and nutrients are robbed by these giant trees, and the lives living in the jungle are divided into three, six, and nine grades, and anything that makes noise-such as them who break into it will only Arouses predator instincts.
This is the National Assembly in Baishou Shuhei's mind. It is not difficult to imagine how this parliamentary candidate, who has a very friendly appearance, advocates justice, and the rule of law, defines power and career in his heart.
To a certain extent, he is much scarier than Tonkou Shigehiko who is really colluding with the organization and full of materialistic desires.
"That's what I mean. This is the full extent of our power." Following him, Miyano Akemi, who was responsible for guarding the companion who had not yet awakened the power, nodded. "We use this power to mentally The correction turned into a real battle... Doesn’t it sound a bit disappointing?”
Although according to Karasawa, psychological treatment through physical methods can also be called psychologists, the true face of the Phantom Thieves is It relies on special violent means to carry out simple and crude personality modification, which does sound like it lacks a bit of mystery.
The public's expectations for them should be that they are more technical and handsome... Although they can't be said to be not handsome now.
"That's not true. This is really an amazing power." Zhu Fu Jingguang looked down at the scene below and raised the corner of his mouth.
Being able to intuitively look into the hearts of others, gaze at cognitive images without hindrance, and understand a person's nature so accurately...
This is a life without lies, without deception, A place where direct means can be used to truly make the world a better place, and besides these idealistic ideas, this power represents even more.
If it is not used for good purposes, and if it is mixed with more complex interest entanglements and considerations belonging to human society, the destruction caused by this power will be even more difficult to summarize.
These children, including those who are no longer children, must have realized the unlimited potential of this power, so they would hide their existence without regrets after becoming one of them. Become a member to protect this power.
"Is this what the organization is looking for?" Zhufu Jingguang, who has lived in the organization for a long time and has actually seen how crazy they are in this regard, turned his head and looked deeply at Miyano Akemi.
Even if he didn’t know it at first, after getting along with each other for the past few days, he had roughly figured out the relationship between Karasawa and the Miyano family. The woman standing behind him at this time was the most understanding woman in the world. One of the few people who understands Hexue.
She must have understood what the organization wanted to do with Tang Ze's family, and judging from Tang Ze's current state, the organization's plan was not wrong.
It’s just that the child Tangze used an incredible method to escape their control and even formed a counterattack against them. This was probably not what the organization expected.
“Don’t you think it’s interesting?” Miyano Akemi covered the lower half of her face with a fan and laughed softly, “Conspirators die from their own carefully planned plots, and evildoers do evil to others for themselves. The price of oppression has been paid, and everyone is happy.”
"...You're right." Zhufu Jingguang smiled, raised the sniper rifle in his hand, stared through the scope at the totem made of rough wooden blocks in the jungle to reward Zhou Ping, and ticked the He said, "I really can't wait to see the expressions on those guys' faces when they find out the truth."
Will the guys who have caused countless tragedies and caused suffering and pain to so many people also feel despair and pain?
If he could, he hoped that when everything happened, he could stand there and replace the people who had closed their eyes too much and could no longer see this moment, looking down at their pain and giving them the most contemptuous ridicule. .
Thinking like this, he stared closely at Baishou Zhou Ping's face that looked particularly distorted because of the wood in the crosshairs, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
“Bang——”
————
“Bang——”
“Ah, it’s so noisy...” Covering his ears, Mouri Kogoro looked at the car outside speechlessly as it kept hitting the ground. Pile driver, "As soon as the construction site started here, it was really impossible to make a phone call. This guy's statement is quite credible."
"So, the most problematic thing is the pile driver at the Colombo restaurant. The man in sunglasses on the phone." Conan nodded firmly. "But, you said that this guy got the wrong trading place..." Mouri Kogoro twitched the corner of his mouth, "Really? It's just unimaginable."
"People make a lot of mistakes and leave a lot of flaws. How can there be such a person who is perfect in everything he does?" Conan had a smile on his face, but his eyes kept drifting to Toru Amuro, who was lowering his head and pressing the phone.
After receiving a call from an unknown person just now, Toru Amuro, who had a positive attitude, seemed to be distracted by other trivial matters, and the frequency of his speeches was significantly reduced.
Conan really wanted to find an opportunity to come over and see what he was busy with on his mobile phone, but after thinking about it, he resisted this impulse and decided to act cautiously.
Conan has always had complicated feelings about Akechi Goro's boss and Karasawa's temporary guardian.
As Karasawa's guardian, Toru Amuro is very dedicated and dedicated. Ask yourself, if it were someone else who only worked in the cafe where he worked, but suddenly had to be responsible for the supervision of a transferred high school student and a sentenced juvenile delinquent, let alone taking care of him, he would be able to take over this hot job. It’s already not easy for Yam.
However, due to the suspicion surrounding Goro Akechi, which Conan cannot explain to others at the moment, the motives of this guy who is deeply bound to Akechi and has a relationship with Karasawa have become complicated and confusing.
It is known that Goro Akechi’s father is a politician who colluded with the organization. The relationship between Goro Akechi and Karasawa is probably not what Karasawa said. They were friends who met by chance when they were young and have been together for a long time. This person is said to have been friends since he was 18 years old. For a "high school detective" who has returned from the United States with an undergraduate degree, in the final analysis, his identity and background cannot be tested.
Does Toru Amuro know this information? Or was it true, as he said, that he came up with the idea of becoming a detective after being introduced to Akechi by Karasawa?
But no matter what the situation is, Toru Amuro has a dangerous aura that occasionally appears, holds a gun and can really use a gun...
Is this person really not related to the organization? ?
If he is related to the organization, then his own situation, and even worse, Karasawa's situation...
Conan, who was in a state of confusion, forced himself to look away to avoid looking at him for a long time and arouse Tohru Amuro's suspicion, and re- Focus on the current case.
"Mr. Amuro's statement makes sense. Look, numbers starting with 1 do not exist, and there is no number between 1032-1101. It is probably a date."
"Well, the names in the address book should not be personal names, but the abbreviations of some companies." Toru Amuro, who was still pressing his phone, heard his name, turned his head, and continued his previous analysis with a smile.
After identifying the man in sunglasses who made a phone call in another cafe among the three suspicious targets, they were sitting in Miyamoto Yumi’s car, led by her and her colleagues. Head to Colombo Cafe to investigate this suspicious person.
... It is indeed a city with a strong detective culture. If you don’t check, you won’t know that there are so many cafes named after detectives in various novels. It is really embarrassing for the deceased who lost his mobile phone.
Wherever the connection is bad, I have to go to a cafe named after the detective...
However, it is precisely because of this flaw that the mobile phone accidentally fell into the hands of Azusa Enomoto. , leading them to the truth. This may be the secret blessing of the detectives who discover the truth and safeguard justice in the novels.
"I prefer the ones in the address book, maybe the ledgers of transactions between a certain person and many companies." After looking through the information on Beishou Zhouhei sent by the zero group, Amuro Toru said with great certainty, " We might be digging up a big case, Officer Miyamoto. Please speed up. It would be bad if the suspect notices something is wrong and escapes early.” The prediction of the Phantom Thieves' work efficiency, if they don't catch this guy running errands for Baisho Shuhei within an hour, they will watch Baisho Shuhei crying on the TV and deeply confessing himself in front of the spotlight and the camera. Live broadcast.
Thinking of Team Zero's efforts to round up and suppress this suspected person, who seemed to have used certain channels, and who might be able to find clues about the organization by following the clues, Toru Amuro almost shed tears of sympathy for the dark circles under his men's eyes.
Thinking about this, he instinctively raised his hand and first touched his eyelids, which were also a little swollen.
"You made so much noise for me as soon as you joined them, you guy..."
————
"Well..."< br>
"What's wrong, senior, have you caught a cold after staying at high altitude for too long?"
"I'm not that fragile." Zhu Fu Jingguang declined the coat handed over by Tang Ze and rubbed it hard. He lowered his nose and said, "Probably Zero is scolding me."
"Oh? What are you scolding?" Karasawa, who was stepping on the tree crown and swinging up and down with the wind, couldn't help but become a little interested.
Having been in the world of Kexue for so long, he has never witnessed the so-called telepathy... Oh, it's not completely absent. When Miyano Shiho became Haibara Ai, he had a vague experience. It was a premonition, but it was true that I had never seen someone as confident as Zhu Fu Jingguang.
"Except for him, no one else will scold me." Zhu Fu Jingguang patted the sniper rifle loaded with special ammunition in his hand and answered rationally.
Now, the only person in the world who knows that he is still alive is Rei Fukiya, except for a few teammates of the Phantom Thieves who are busy around the bonfire below.
I don’t think there are people who just want to curse people to death.
After thinking for a moment and realizing that this sentence was a bit of a joke, Tang Ze laughed and said, "That makes sense. Could it be possible that our goal today has anything to do with him? No way, I When I left the cafe, I didn’t see any special reaction from him to Baishou Shuhei’s name?”
“He wears many hats and is very busy. Who knows where he may have crossed paths with?” "Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had a little understanding of Fa Xiao's current living conditions, shook his head helplessly and dissatisfied with his short sleep time every day, then raised the gun in his hand and stared at the unknown bonfire burning below. heap.
In this jungle, the master of the palace, who is regarded as a religious totem, naturally also possesses symbols related to primitive religious beliefs. Even if he understands that this is not the real world, the scene below is more likely to be psychological. Reflecting on the situation, Zhu Fu Jingguang still didn't want to think about what those carbides hanging on the wooden shelves and the bright red graffiti on the rocks were.
He just felt that a vague dissatisfaction and anger was transforming into a more focused and dedicated force, making his hands holding the gun not tremble at all.
At this moment, this is what he should aim at.
"Has your 'preview' been delivered? If so, hurry up."
"Hey, I thought you would first find out about Mr. Zero's situation, and then Consider taking action." Tang Ze, who was just about to call Noah over and send an email to ask, turned his head and looked over in surprise.
Although he said he was staying with them now, Karasawa instinctively felt that Morofuku Kagemitsu's position should be more consistent with that of Furuya Rei, even if he is a member of the Phantom Thieves, in the On many issues, we may be more inclined to favor Jianggu Ling.
Instead of saying that Karasawa accepted him as a member of the Phantom Thieves, it is better that Karasawa temporarily regarded Zhufu Jingguang as the person in charge of external relations between the Phantom Thieves and the public security side, mainly Fangtani Rei, who was a bit stationed abroad. Ambassador means.
Even if he actually gave Zhu Fu Jingguang a second life, Tang Ze was not arrogant enough to think that just because of this, Zhu Fu Jingguang would completely fall to his camp and ignore Jianggu. Zero thoughts.
Now their mission goals are suspected to be in conflict with Fangtani Rei's work. Although he doesn't think that Zhufu Jingguang will restrain his hands, Tang Ze thought that he at least wants to communicate with Fangtani Rei and understand. The situation will change again.
“There is no need.” Zhu Fu Jingguang narrowed his eyes, “Even if it has something to do with zero, it doesn’t matter.”
As he spoke, his crosshairs steadily found the stone. In the very center of the graffiti, the trigger was pulled.
With an extremely angry roar that was clearly amplified by a loudspeaker, the entire jungle floor shook.
Obviously, the true form of the master of the palace has been awakened by the gun and is roaring at the intruders.
Looking at the statues of gods rising from the ground, Zhu Fu Jingguang sent out a very sincere and spontaneous wish.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to just deal with this guy and leave him with nothing to do? He should go to bed early.”
