Chapter 703: What a Phantom Thief of Hearts
When Tangze walked out of the movie theater, he saw Zhufu Jingguang, who had finished the torture, standing in front of the display cabinet illuminated by the spotlight, silently speaking. He stared at the area decorated with flowers.
"How do you feel, senior?" Walking to Zhu Fu Jingguang's side, Tang Ze also looked at the exhibits and asked aloud.
This is the exhibition area used by Rei Furitani in his cinema to commemorate the sacrifices of several people who died during the same period. When Karasawa came here for the first time, because he knew enough about the content of each thing, His mood swings were extremely violent.
As for the person involved, Zhu Fu Jingguang must have had a more complicated mood when he saw this.
"If I have to say, as a police officer, to receive such solemn condolences and high praise from my colleagues and friends after my death, I can definitely say that I have succeeded, right?" Zhu Fu Jingguang sighed slowly, "But I just saw that guy from gin, cleaning the display cabinet with glass cleaner with an indifferent expression..."
"Probably because, to him, the entire palace here is garbage that needs to be discarded." Karasawa. A pertinent comment, "That is to say, he can't really send messages to me. If he knew what his image was, Gin might have to carry a missile to find Mr. Furitani."
I understand the truth. , but it still feels very strange to see Gin Sima dressed as a cleaner standing there with a face on his face, brushing his own locker as if he were mourning for a concubine...
Zhu Fu Jingguang barely managed to get the polished tiles from that side. He moved his gaze away from the bright glass counter and looked in the direction closest to the entrance.
There, in the counter decorated like a wedding bouquet, a bloody toothpick was solemnly placed among the white flowers, like a precious token of love, or It looks like a ring that represents a promise.
"As a result, in the end, the squad leader couldn't escape..." Zhu Fu Jingguang put his hands in his pockets and slowly let out the depression in his chest.
When they left the police academy, they stood under the cherry blossom tree and took the oath. They were in high spirits, laughing and threatening that as long as they were around, they could solve any problem. All their expressions and words seemed like they happened yesterday. Things are normal.
However, death and accidents are so unreasonable. As criminal policemen and public security officers, they inevitably have to learn to coexist with them.
Not long after graduation, Hagiwara died in a vicious attack. A few years later, Matsuda followed in his footsteps and used his own life to prove his loyalty to his oath.
When he and Zero knew the news, they were struggling in the quagmire of the organization. It was difficult to find a moment to breathe. Let alone investigating the reasons, there was no space to even mourn.
However, not long after, he added another highlight to this red-hot list...
"That guy Zero just doesn't want to show it, he really has to bear a lot in his heart." He started to touch the nearly brand-new guitar hanging on the wall. Zhu Fu Jingguang touched its tight strings and smiled slightly.
Next time, go listen and see how well this guy is learning the guitar.
"You know, he is that kind of person." When Tang Ze spoke, he always looked at Zhu Fu Jingguang's side face.
Get used to letting pain turn into scars, then hide it carefully, and take the next step with a smile...
It is precisely because of these qualities that they are like-minded friends who can go forward side by side.
Although his personality is very different from Jiang Guling's, is Zhu Fu Jingguang not like this in this regard?
If the person who fell on the rooftop was Jiang Gu Ling three years ago, the choice Zhu Fu Jingguang made might not be much different from Jiang Gu Ling now.
"So, you are trying to bring us all back to this world one by one, because you think that only in this way can zero's wounds be completely healed?" Hearing the emotion in Tangze's words, Zhu Fu Jing Guang turned around and looked at him jokingly, "You didn't even ask for his opinion. Some people regard past pain as a necessity for growth. A guy like you who stubbornly wants to leave no regrets is really "Rarely seen."
Tangze's idea has a bit of "you have nothing to do with saving you" in it. It is a little arrogant, but it is very consistent with Zhu Fu Jingguang's attitude towards him after contacting him these days. impression.
This child, whose face looks more immature than his actual age, has a stable operating system inside, and is always judging and taking action based on his own ideas.
“I think this is good for everyone, and I also want to save a lot of regrets. I have been to this cinema many times, and I have seen many of your past experiences... I have lost you Mr. Furitani a little bit. Growing up to what he is today shows that he is an excellent and good person, but this does not mean that all the regrets are worth it." Tangze shook his head and expressed his thoughts frankly, "Without these sacrifices, he would still have grown up to this day, and he would still be very good. If you are excellent, you will even have a group of equally excellent companions, so why do you have to regard tragedy as a necessary condition?"
Before doing this, he did not ask Fangtani Rei for his opinion, Tang Ze felt. , this is not a lack of expression, this is just a clear proof that he comes from his true heart.
"If you must use irreparable regrets to add drama, then it is the world that is wrong, not me."
A good standard speech for the second grade, from the second grade to Zhu Fujing Hikari could clearly see on Tang Ze's face a kind of sincere happiness that "I finally had a chance to say this."
It was a pity that he touched his mobile phone that could not turn on the recording in time. Zhu Fu Jingguang could only say: "...Fortunately, I was the only one who heard it. If other people heard about it, they would definitely laugh at you."
"If you don't hit the target, why are you a monster thief of the heart..." Karasawa curled his lips, not feeling that his teammates' symptoms were any less severe than his own.
Just looking at the masks of this group of people, it’s hard to say who the second grader is...
Thinking about this, Karasawa looked at him with expectation. Unaware of all the hidden scenes.
Hurry up, Senior Zhufu, I can’t wait to see the expression on Fang Gu Ling’s face as he was staggered!
If I hadn't died, I would have transformed into a chuunibyou monster thief who was in his late twenties and almost thirty, and that's when the memories of the dead would suddenly start to attack me.
"Come on, senior! Let's bring a smile to Mr. Furitani's face!"
Zhufu Jingguang, who didn't understand why Karasawa suddenly made a sudden turn:?
————
After a complicated night that was hard to express what happened, the happy and simple young detective team ended their journey and sat huddled next to each other. In Dr. A Li's little Beetle, they headed towards the itinerary they had planned for their return trip.
"Wow, this is too high -" Standing at the entrance to the first floor of the skyscraper, Moto Kojima tried his best to raise his neck, but still couldn't see the top of the building clearly, so he couldn't help but let out an exaggerated exclamation.
"After all, it is a strong contender for the tallest building in Japan. Not only is the floor very high, they are also trying to add some other equipment on top to increase the height by as much as ten meters..." Haibara Ai only said a little. After glancing upward, he gave up the useless effort of searching for the top and shook his head without interest.
Putting aside the fancy viewing elevator and the advantage of the view brought by the height, the design of this building is not even eye-catching.
It should be said that in order to pursue the ultimate height, under various legal and architectural design restrictions, designers who cannot increase the budget without restraint are indeed unable to make too many innovations.
Boring, boring, buildings exist for comparison since birth...
"It's like it was built directly into the clouds..." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya also raised his head blankly, his mouth opened unconsciously, looking very sluggish.
"It would be great if I could go in and take a look. This elevator looks really awesome." Ayumi Yoshida's eyes were attracted to the golden transparent viewing elevator, and she was very envious.
The Twin Towers, which have not officially held the opening ceremony, have not yet been opened to the public. Tourists like them passing by will definitely not have the opportunity to go in and visit directly.
While the children were feeling sorry for themselves, a taxi stopped in the driveway ahead.
The wide square in front of the building is now empty of pedestrians, and the lone taxi is very eye-catching. The children who were still looking at the building and about to take out their mobile phones to start taking pictures couldn't help but look over.
Then, a familiar figure emerged from the car.
"Hey, Conan, Dr. Ali, you are here too..." Mao Lilan, who opened the car door, turned around and saw a few familiar faces, and raised her eyebrows in surprise.
While she was talking, she couldn't help but look at Mouri Kogoro who got out of the passenger seat.
"Why did I meet you again?" Mouri Kogoro, who was still adjusting his tie, looked at the group of old and young in silence. Is this kid Conan really not watching his whereabouts? They were all thrown out for a trip, and after going around in a circle, they still bumped into each other here.
Little did he know that Conan, who was standing in front of him, suspiciously touched his watch equipped with a locator, and had the same idea as him.
As Joker's real target, he is really guessing whether after Joker discovered his location, he carefully designed Kogoro Mouri to come here in an attempt to use the detective's name again. Head, let’s do something...
“We’re done camping, and we happened to stop by to take a look at this building. What about you, uncle, are you here to visit?”
“Ahem! Yes! Like this." At this point, Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but puff up his chest and cleared his throat deliberately, "The owner of this building, Mio Tokiwa, is my schoolmate in college. Next week, the building will be officially opened. It's opening. She specially invited me to visit."
"Oh, that's why Sister Xiaolan is here to monitor you." Conan nodded and responded very quickly.
"I can't help it. Ms. Tokiwa is still single. You are now officially divorced and theoretically a completely free person, Uncle Maori." Suzuki Sonoko, who followed, held Mao Lilan's hand and snorted, "College girl , single men and women, or separate invitations... Don't have any strange thoughts."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I am a celebrity now. Is there anything strange about receiving a special invitation from a friend I knew in the past. Not everyone can come and visit in advance at this time."
After saying this a little proudly, Mouri Kogoro caught the expectant and eager expressions on the faces of several children and turned away warily. body.
Hey, are these brats planning to...
"Hello, excuse me, are we Mr. Mouri Kogoro and his group?" He was wearing high heels and dressed up nicely. The woman walked out of the door of the building, her eyes first vaguely turned around on the faces of everyone in the audience, and soon locked on Mouri Kogoro.
It wasn't that she needed to confirm who Mouri Kogoro was. He was the only one in the group who met the requirements such as gender and age. The problem was that it was really unexpected that the other party brought eight people from his family with him.
A famous detective shouldn’t be so new to the world, right? But that's right, this Mr. Detective has actually only been famous for a few months, so he might be very excited after receiving the invitation...
Subtle speculations were running through her heart, and the smile on her face was still gentle and pleasant: "My name is Sawaguchi, and I am President Joban's secretary. She informed me to come to receive you. There are other guests currently visiting, and the president is receiving them. I may have to trouble you to wait. You can go to the visiting room with me first. For a moment, let me introduce to you the situation of our group and the building."
"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you," Mouri Kogoro sighed inwardly after receiving another wave of invitations. He could only nod, acquiescing that the others were with him.
Obviously I was the only one invited, but I brought a whole family with me. I hope Senior Sister Tokiwa won’t mind too much...
"Building A is mainly an office area. In order to conveniently display the group's current R&D status and products to guests, we have added special display areas on the 2nd and 3rd floors. You can take a rest here and someone will prepare it for you. Tea and snacks..."
"What does this Joban Group do?" Ayumi Yoshida, who had heard of such a functional area for the first time, asked the surrounding students in a low voice.
"Mainly doing computer-related business." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya proactively introduced, "Software, network development, they even made a lot of video games..."
"It sounds like It's very interesting." Motai Kojima, who was originally not interested in visiting the company, couldn't help but get excited after hearing this.
"This is our engineer Mr. Yuan Jiaming." The secretary who led the way raised his hand and gestured to the man in a suit who came over.
"Welcome to visit." The man with glasses looked at the excited children and smiled kindly.
"What is this? It looks so magical..." Primary school students at the age where people dislike dogs have already gathered in front of a machine with a mask and pointed curiously.
“Oh, this is a machine that can calculate what you will look like ten years from now based on your current appearance.” Yuan Jiaming, who originally planned to introduce it in order, saw that they had selected this machine so accurately. , his expression stiffened for a moment, and then he quickly continued to laugh.
Predict what they will look like ten years from now...
Conan and Haibara Ai, who knew exactly what they would look like ten years from now, both frowned, and Mao Lilan was about to reach out to the machine's hand. Also stiff.
Haiyuan Ai looked at the machine subtly for a while, and then looked at Yuan Jiaming subtly.
If she hadn't been sure that the Organization Department couldn't know what happened to them, this machine would have been created just to catch her and Kudo.
...Hey, wait a minute?
"It looks a bit powerful, but it has such a strange function. Why do you want to make such a machine..." Suzuki Sonoko, who was young and didn't want to know what she would look like when she was almost 30, pouted.
“This is related to the project our company is involved in research and development. It is considered a transitional product.” Secretary Zeguchi, who was standing aside, took over with a smile and answered the specific questions about the business for engineer Yuan Jiaming. Question, "We are participating in anthropological research, and the project is related to emerging technologies such as cross-age facial recognition. Being placed here as an exhibit means that its research and development has reached a mature level, and the results should be It’s very accurate.”
It's just very accurate, that's why there's a problem...
"What it will look like ten years from now, it sounds fun, I want to try it, I want to try it!" Several real primary school students shouted immediately.
"Okay, kids, come here. You need to use this mask to do a preliminary scan here..." Yuan Jiaming led a few bouncing children towards the machine.
Except for the three primary school students, everyone else stood still, motionless.
"Let's go, Xiaolan, let's give it a try too!" Suzuki Sonoko was a little interested, so she quickly straightened her hair and gave her best friend a hand.
"Uh..." Mao Lilan followed two steps hesitantly, looking back in Conan's direction uneasily, but still followed Suzuki Sonoko's footsteps towards the machine.
It doesn’t matter if she enters the machine, it’s just Conan...
Otherwise, it’s better to delay it as much as possible.
"Huh? Don't you want to try it?" The secretary who specializes in warm service was keenly aware of the awkward atmosphere among several people and took the initiative to say, "If you are worried about image issues, please don't worry, the finished film will only Mr. Hara, who is responsible for the operation, will see it. If you don’t want to release it, you don’t have to print it.”
“Who wants to see what his old man looks like?” Mouri Kogoro, whose daughter is almost grown, is really not interested. .
"I'm already this old, and I'm really afraid that it will give me an inappropriate look." Dr. Ali also said jokingly, and silently moved two steps to block the gray hair that lowered his head and started to cover his face. Yuan Ai.
"I..." Conan looked at a few children who were in high spirits and hesitated to speak.
The behavior is too unlike that of a primary school student, and he seems to be equally unsociable. Now we're in trouble...
Before Conan could use his brain to find a good excuse, the sound of footsteps sounded from the entrance of the exhibition room.
The sound was steady, solid, and quite special. Conan could tell immediately that it was the sound of clogs.
He looked towards the entrance and was shocked to see——
Kitagawa Yusuke, wearing a dark blue and pure white waterfall striped kimono, stepping on a pair of wooden geta, as if he had stepped out of a picture from the Edo period. , with an aura that was incompatible with the surrounding paintings, walked straight towards them.
"Hello, how do I get up to the observation elevator? I pressed it and there seems to be no response."
