Chapter 796 Karasawa's Secret
"The deceased was a member of the black organization, because his death was an unexpected situation that the organization did not expect, which led to some consequences? This is indeed a possibility." Conan thought For a moment, he nodded silently.
The death of a member of the black organization in an unexpected murder may seem unbelievable at first, but when you think about it carefully, the logic actually makes sense.
Even in a criminal organization, not everyone is as proficient in all kinds of martial arts as Gin. If he is just a horse boy who is responsible for delivering information and running errands for the people above him, he will die unprepared. In the hands of another ordinary person, it would be reasonable.
Even Haibara Ai, who was afraid that her identity would be revealed and cause disaster after defecting, only had a strong reaction to the codename members, which shows that the threat of these minions is quite limited.
He followed this train of thought and couldn't help but think about it.
"Could it be that the deceased happened to be holding some key information in his hand when he died, or that the deceased was on the phone with a big shot at the time, exchanging information..." Conan thought divergently and pondered, " In this case, the real danger is probably none other than the murderer himself."
Otherwise, if just a certain piece of evidence falls into the hands of the police, they will all sneak into the police. You can just find a way to take the things away from the viewing hall. Why come to the meeting and take the risk of revealing that you are not who you are?
"It sounds like you have someone to suspect?" Haiyuan Ai raised his eyebrows as he heard that his thoughts had quickly turned to be wary of the mole among the investigators.
"Of course. This is actually a very clever choice." Conan shrugged and expressed his thoughts directly, "This task force is quite special."
The joint investigation team gathered police officers from all over the country, and less than half of them actually belonged to the search section. In other words, most of the police officers in the team were not familiar with each other.
Even after knowing the fact that there was a mole, Conan himself was unable to make a judgment for a while because he did not know everyone in the group.
Speaking of this, Conan simply took out a piece of paper, spread it on the coffee table, and wrote the name of the person.
"The first is Adachi Tohru." Listing the name at the beginning, Conan drew two lines for emphasis under the three Chinese characters. "His identity is very suspicious. Although it is still unknown at the moment, It cannot be said that he must be related to the organization, but it is unreasonable for him to suddenly be hired by Tokyo after he has been dismissed. "
His relationship with Karasawa means that this person is destined to be a member of the organization even if he is not a member of the organization. It's impossible to keep your hands clean.
It's hard to say whether such a person joining the investigation team investigating serial murders will cause other troubles, but it's not a good thing.
"His identity in the investigation team is very ambiguous. I asked several police officers from the Investigation Section 1 and found out that Toru Adachi was forced into the job by the management of the Metropolitan Police Department, so Manager Matsumoto was I would contact Uncle Mori suddenly just to prevent him from pointing fingers at the investigation team. Moreover, he also fits the characteristics of a new face that is unfamiliar to others."
He had talked to Hattori about Tohru Adachi before. Heiji communicated.
The reason why we are so suspicious but haven't directly targeted him yet is mainly because he doesn't look like a member of Codename. No matter how you think about it, he should be an ordinary grassroots member.
...There shouldn't be any Codename members who are outrageous enough to go to prison and punch and kick Karasawa!
Even if there is something wrong with this memory, implanting this memory into Tang Ze at least shows that he wants to do it.
"Secondly, among the several police officers from out of town, the Henggou brothers are relatively not suspicious, and Yamamura Cao can probably be ruled out. There is also Officer Morofushi, who is following up with Nagano Prefecture in order to investigate the case. I listened to my colleagues on the phone once, and it was relatively credible.”
These are all policemen with interpersonal relationships, such as the Henggou brothers. If there is anything strange, it will be easy for the other one to detect it. Since Fu Gaoming has been investigating the case in depth for a long time, it is said that he has a fairly close relationship with his partner, and his suspicion is also greatly reduced.
...As for Yamamura Cao, if he plays Yamamura Cao for a mission, then the sacrifice of members of this organization is a bit too high.
Not to mention that there is a high probability that Yamamura Soo will never get to the core of the case.
"In Search Division 1, Officer Megure and the others are very familiar with us. We didn't feel anything strange when we came into contact today. If we had to choose one among them, it could only be Administrator Matsumoto Kiyonaga, who we are not so familiar with. But Xiaolan had a few chats with him in the morning, and the topic was still about Teacher Sayuri, so there seemed to be no problem..."
Haihara Ai watched him write and draw on the paper, Smile.
It’s not without reason that they all like Kudo so much.
This list can be said to have completely hit the initial preparations made by Ireland.
If Karasawa had not fabricated the identity of Toru Adachi and used Bermod to forcefully transfer it to Ireland, the people he targeted would have been arranged according to the list in his hand. It was very large. The probability is that Matsumoto Kiyonaga will be chosen.
After all, Ireland is a tall man, and the range of disguises he can choose is very limited. It is difficult for him to pretend to be someone with a smaller body like Yamamura Cao.
"Keeping an eye on the murderer and the police surrounding the murderer is a very correct idea, Kudo." Haihara Ai did not interrupt Conan's analysis and calculation on the draft paper, but said softly, "As for the people who came Who is it... I suggest that you work hard on organizing."
————
"You want to see Akechi?" Upon returning to the cafe, Tang Ze asked. When I heard Conan's question, I couldn't help but make a weird expression, "Can I ask what it is? Uh, you also know..."
Strictly speaking, Akechi Goro's identity is different from Conan's. Waiting for someone is definitely not considered close.
Whether it is his external image, his acting style, or his apparent interpersonal relationships, Akechi Goro is a completely different and incompatible type of detective from Kudo Shinichi.
This is evident from the fact that almost no one discusses Goro Akechi and Shinichi Kudo together.
Even if you don’t understand the character that Karasawa designed for Goro Akechi, who is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, Goro Akechi, who has outstanding business performance, and Shinichi Kudo, who has always only appeared in the social media, are so distinct. .
In Conan's circle, the only one who has a good relationship with Akechi Goro is Karasawa himself. With other people, even if there is no conflict, the relationship is just a casual acquaintance.
What Karasawa said was a euphemistic way of saying that unless the reason was very legitimate, Akechi Goro would probably be too lazy to take the time to deal with Conan and the others.
Conan, who also had no favorable impression of Goro Akechi, waved his hand.
Why, Goro Akechi is too lazy to come to see him, is he happy to see Goro Akechi? funny.
Had it not been for the clear reminder given by Haihara Ai, he would not have been willing to come into contact with this fake pretentious criminal.
"Of course it is a very important matter. As long as I call him out, I believe he will be interested." Thinking of something, Conan touched the small medicine box in his pocket, and then changed his voice. Chao Tangze asked, "By the way, can I ask how you met Akechi and got on good terms with him? I remember you said before that he and you are considered 'patient friends'."
Considering that Goro Akechi's true identity is Shigehiko Tonguchi's illegitimate son, Conan is not surprised that Ai Haibara said that he has an inseparable relationship with the organization.
Moreover, Goro Akechi returned to Japan not long after Karasawa arrived in Tokyo, which is also very suspicious.
Karasawa's parents were in a similar situation to Haiyuan's in the past. They were scientists under house arrest by the organization. So Karaze himself should also be very aware that everyone he knew during the treatment stage of his childhood was probably related to the organization. connect. So what is the basis for Karasawa's trust in Goro Akechi? This is the question that Conan puzzles over.
"Oh, you have some doubts about Akechi-kun because of the swallowing of Shigehiko, right?" Tangze made a stunned expression, then spread his hands, "I know , Akechi’s behavior often makes people a little unhappy. As I said, although he is trustworthy, it is actually not his fault. "You mean, he always looked like a smiling tiger since he was a child?" After imagining what Akechi Goro looked like when he was a child, the corners of Conan's mouth twitched twice.
Karasawa didn't recover until he was ten years old. He was the same age as Akechi Goro, so he couldn't have known Akechi Goro earlier than ten years old.
A ten-year-old kid with that kind of business-like shiny fake smile...
"I said that he and I were 'kind of' patients, without using a very definite tone. , Mainly because... Akechi is actually not sick." Tang Ze said, his expression darkened, "He was one of the people who took the medicine after my parents started developing drugs for the organization."
Tang Ze. As he spoke, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn down, and the smile that always hung on his face rarely disappeared.
This is not Tang Ze's acting skills at work, he is truly angry.
Because what he was going to say next was what really happened to Xingchuan Hui.
“When you discovered KA03, I told you that my parents developed these psychotropic drugs for my disease. They were worried that I was different from normal children and developed this drug. The sedative drugs are mainly used to gently treat my emotions, but of course the organization cannot really let them use ordinary drugs to treat diseases and save lives. They took away what my parents developed and processed and experimented according to their own needs... It’s just like the kind of medicine you take.”
When the medicine of APTX4869 was born, it was also for a very lofty goal.
——Slow down aging and cure "death", a "disease" that no one can escape.
But now, in the past few years in the hands of Miyano Shiho, at least double digits of people have died from this drug.
It is colorless and odorless, and cannot be detected in an autopsy. One drop will cure it once and for all, and the autopsy may even report negative. Gin is highly recommended, and it is trustworthy.
"Akechi, is one of the subjects of the KA series of drugs. I don't know how long he was forced to undergo drug research after I left there, but... you also know that this type of drug is an adult It's addictive." Tangze closed his eyes as he said this, "After taking KA for a long time, his emotional feedback has become disordered and abnormal. Although he looks like a normal person now, his smile must not be real. . His heart has been sealed by drugs, and it is not easy to become a normal person again. "
"A bit similar to your past 'illness'?" Conan touched his chin thoughtfully. "That's why you said he was your patient?"
"Yes. It must be very difficult for him to enter society in his current state and survive like a normal person. It's hard for me to criticize him for those things An annoying place." Tangze sighed, put the iced coffee to his mouth, and drank it as if grabbing a glass of wine. "Anyway, it's all caused by my parents and me."
Although part of what Karasawa said was for Goro Akechi's fabricated identity and background, most of it was Hoshikawa Teru's current situation.
A large part of Xingchuan Hui's lingering gloom and hostility are the sequelae of drugs.
While he was still taking the medicine, he could not express his emotions at all, and his face was only blank and expressionless.
After taking the antidote for a period of time and gradually recovering, he could only express his emotions normally.
Having lived in this shadow throughout his childhood, and not receiving a decent education, Xingchuan Hui actually didn't understand how a normal person should deal with everything, and it was difficult for him to learn it.
If he had accepted Karasawa's proposal and left Japan, Hoshikawa Teru would still have needed many years, or even a lifetime, to heal this chaos and blankness under the generous living conditions provided by the FBI.
Thinking of these, Tang Ze would briefly understand the tearing and pain in Haihara Ai's heart.
I didn’t kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. It’s really hard to let go.
"This is a problem caused by the organization. You don't have to take responsibility for yourself." Conan was a little stunned. Thinking of Akechi Goro's face, he couldn't help but persuade him, "Maybe Akechi guy and the organization have a lot to do with it. It's a serious matter, so you'd better be careful."
"That's the second point I want to make. He can't betray me no matter who he betrays." Tang Ze rolled his eyes and said something a little bit. A hair-raising declaration, "KA series of drugs and supporting mental soothing devices were born to regulate my perception and emotions. Let me tell you a secret that perhaps even the organization does not know, that is, there is a basis for this brainwashing program Rule - 'Tang Ze is someone you can and should always trust'.
This paragraph is also true. This is the record in the memory card of Tang Ze and his wife. Tang Ze feels that they cannot be here. He lied to his son about all kinds of things.
——This is also the fundamental reason why Tang Ze was able to accept Xingchuan Hui's surrender in a crisis-ridden stage.
It was even part of the basis for Karasawa's design of Belmode's script.
The experiment that Belmod accepted was definitely not as simple as just a drug, but she was more or less affected, and her initial favorable impression of "Karasawa Akira" must have been high.
If Calvados hadn't volunteered to act as a conspicuous bag, and if Belmode had taken action, she might have secretly let both Karasawa and his wife run away, or at least left them a glimmer of hope.
Damn it, so he got angry when he thought of Calvados, the licking dog. Tangze couldn't help but pour himself another cup of coffee.
"You, your parents are really..." Conan's eyes and eyebrows twitched greatly, and he couldn't help but complain, "Are they leaving a backdoor in the organization's brainwashing program?"
"No, They didn't expect it to be used in such a way by the organization. If anything, it was the organization itself that shot itself in the foot." Tang Ze shrugged.
The Tang Ze in this sentence does not refer to Tang Ze himself, but to Tang Ze and his wife.
Please, it is originally an early education system for children, okay? Let the children know and trust their parents. This is the first step to establish a normal growing relationship step by step.
It is not their fault that the organization has evil intentions and uses it to do other things.
"As for Akechi...well, I don't know what you want to say to him, but if you insist on seeing him, I can say it for you. He will definitely not refuse my request." Tang Ze He lowered his head and started drinking coffee again, "He has a busy schedule now and is slowly returning to a normal life. I think those injuries will slowly pass."
The same is true for Xingchuan Hui now. .
After being taken away by Karasawa from Tunguchi's house, as the Phantom Thieves went about their busy daily life, and as he was forced to help Karasawa deal with multiple identities, he had to imitate Karasawa's every move. As soon as he moved, he was indeed slowly regaining his appearance as a young man of this age should.
With Karasawa as the target of imitation, although he actually never knows how to smile normally, and can hardly find what his own smile should be, but with such a starting point, it is Good start.
Even if his living environment is special, with everyone in the Phantom Thieves around, he will get better, Karasawa believes.
