Chapter 844 The Blue Castle
As the number of identities increases and each status improves day by day, Karasawa becomes increasingly busy. Except when it is clearly a commission, he is no longer so close to Kogoro Mori at other times. .
In the past, there were Ireland and serial murder cases to work for him, and later there was the work of the unique family, plus the daily life of the Phantom Thieves, Ru Yue Feng Shui's art exhibition, and the new egg that was taking shape...
In short, in the corner where he had no time to pay attention, the encounter between Mouri Kogoro and his group and Mizuno Reina had already happened.
To put this matter into perspective, Karasawa himself still has to be blamed. If he had not been so energetic and taught Mouri Kogoro how to cook, Mouri Kogoro might have declined an occasion like a kitchen variety show where he could easily be embarrassed. But Mouri Kogoro's cooking skills have not yet reached a proficient level, but his cooking proficiency is already very high. When he heard that it was a variety show where he was cooking and chatting in the kitchen, his partner was Okino Yoko, and he couldn't even think about it. I accepted it without thinking.
So, that humble commission happened quietly in the corner.
Mizuna Reina encounters pranks every Saturday morning. She hears the doorbell ringing at the door, but when she opens the door she sees no one. She is overly sensitive to her identity and immediately becomes alert and regards this incident as an annoyance. I told Yoko Okino, who I met by chance at the TV station.
As a famous detective whom Okino Yoko has always admired, Mouri Kogoro was introduced to Reina Minato to solve this little strange doorbell case for her.
The bug that was originally posted by Conan in front of the door as an auxiliary tool for listening to the movement at the door was temporarily forgotten because they stayed at Rena Minami's house all night to facilitate observation and guarding of prisoners. Then, when Mizuno Reina opened and closed her door with many locks, she accidentally knocked down the bug and stepped on the sole of her high-heeled shoe.
Subsequently, the nursery rhyme flowed out from the sound of her cell phone keystrokes like fate, followed the radio waves of the bug, and reached Conan's ears.
It's just that Conan, who had become somewhat cautious during the confrontation, did not follow the signal of the bug and trace the whereabouts of Reina Mizuna without any scruples as in the original plot. Instead, he confirmed that Reina Mizuna had met with someone in the organization. After that, he immediately informed the doctor, Haibara Ai and others of this information, as well as Hattori Heiji who was also working hard to track down the organization.
Mizuna Reina is not yet too old, but she is already a nearly household name TV host in Tokyo. Due to her good appearance and excellent work ability, she has been favored by many famous programs and is a TV host. of regular customers.
She has participated in many talk shows, and is often responsible for outdoor interviews and appearances. Her interpersonal relationships are not complicated, but she has interacted with so many people that it is impossible to identify them. Which ones are related to the organization, and which ones are just smoke bombs or routine work to fish in troubled waters.
Just checking variety shows to find all kinds of news has exhausted Conan's energy, so he had to leave the task of investigating her specific background to Hattori Heiji, who has more channels.
"... Excellent school, strong language skills, excellent appearance and strong enterprising spirit. In short, just looking at the background information, there is not much problem with her as an ace reporter." Simple After describing the results of his investigation, Hattori Heiji came to the conclusion, "If this is a guy who is deeply connected to the organization, then the problem will be big."
Although there is an unexpected existence like Belmode, and it seems that the organization does not care whether members appear in public, Belmode's status in the organization is unusual, and it is difficult to say whether it can be regarded as a common situation.
But now look at Goro Akechi, and then look at Reina Mizuna...
"If the hidden identity of the organization among 'ordinary people' is like this, it is the glamorous one that attracts the attention of the public. People, even if it is proved that they are related to illegal activities, the impact will be huge, you know what I mean, Kudo." Hattori Heiji said bluntly.
If these people are just ordinary people, even if they are high-level figures with little connection to the mass media, even if it is revealed that they are engaged in illegal transactions behind the scenes, except for the stakeholders, the general public will not pay attention to these names. Not overly concerned about what happens to people who have never heard of it.
But if this happens to a group of celebrities, especially celebrities with such a high level of attention...
Conan slapped his forehead, and he had a headache when he thought about the children who squatted in front of Mizuno Reina's door that day, and who innocently knocked on her door every Saturday because they loved her show, fearing that she would miss work.
If such a child knew that Shuiwu Reina was not the gentle and kind confidant host sister he imagined...
"And if you want to investigate secretly without telling Karasawa, it is tantamount to saying You are not prepared to go through Akechi Goro's passage to confirm his identity. This will be very troublesome. Kudo, we still lack understanding of this organization and cannot even outline its outline, so we rashly try to use our personal identity. It is very difficult and dangerous to crack their puzzle."
The hint of Hattori Heiji is very obvious.
Reina Mizuno is a celebrity in the TV media, and Goro Akechi, who is also very popular on the screen, must know something.
If he knew the identity of Reina Mizuno, the investigation would naturally go smoothly. Even if he didn't know, it would definitely be better for him, a member of the organization, to contact and understand it than to risk Conan himself.
Conan rubbed his forehead again, making his smooth forehead almost red. He replied with a headache: "I know what you mean Hattori. But you didn't see Karasawa's expression just now. I am I really don’t doubt that if the members of the organization who killed his parents are standing in front of him, he will do his best to kill them immediately.”
Okay, it’s not that exaggerated.
But Conan could still tell whether his friend was joking or really thinking so.
Although considering Mizuno Rena's age and the nature of her work, it is more likely that she is a nail or killer used by the organization to target specific groups of people, and it is unlikely that she is related to the Karasawa couple. , he still hopes to eliminate the risk a little bit.
Hattori Heiji immediately surrendered and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, don't use such a serious tone, I won't reveal it to him privately. But if this kind of thing is really investigated, there will always be a time when someone needs to verify it. It can't be kept secret for long."
"I know. So we still need to investigate this matter as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, I will do my best."
After hanging up the communication, Conan lay thoughtfully at the office window thinking about things. He didn't know how long it would take before his secrets would be exposed along with his pursuit of Reina Mizuna and the uninvited appearance of Eiyou.
Anyway, the person he invited is not worried about the organization at all. "Are we going on a long trip together? Then, what should we do with the new egg? Can he stay here?" After hearing Karasawa's request, Miyano Akemi put down the account book she was recording and put the end of her pen against her chin as she thought, "I I feel like it’s hard for Matsuda-kun to agree. You want to go with Shiho and the others this time, and Shiho doesn’t have time to take care of you.”
Yes, Shilojia’s family carnival gift package not only successfully added a new non-staff member to them, but also contributed to the progress of the next resurrection goal with quality and quantity. Newegg I have settled in the stronghold for several days.
This is also the reason why Karasawa feels a little guilty and has not dared to approach Tohru Amuro in the past two days. With the examples of Morofushi Kagemitsu and Matsuda Jinpei before him, Tohru Amuro probably accepted it very well, but if he knew that the progress bar was still being read this time, he would probably have a hard time suppressing his occupational disease. We need to find out the progress and methods of their resurrection...
Hey, it could be that connections in the art world are very important to a person's development. Yusuke Kitagawa has only been in business for so long, and big orders are like free money. Crazy stuffing them into their hands...
Tangze glanced in the direction of the laboratory, shrugged and said: "Actually, Belmode no longer stares at home at all. We don't need to be so strict. If Matsuda If you really want to hatch the eggs, just let him put the eggs in the RV and take them with him..."
The RV they bought was laid out strictly according to the maximum number of people possible. In order to facilitate work, it was also equipped with equipment to facilitate working outside. There was no shortage of desktop computers and mobile networks. Even if the eggs were a bit big, they could move to another place. There is still no problem in giving it.
"...Do you want to take the egg out to investigate?" Miyano Akemi's mouth twitched, "Even if you often have strange ideas, it is still too strange to make such a request."< br>
"Why not?" Tangze was very calm, "This time it is probably a big goal, and maybe we can speed up the progress bar."
After all, that was the past. The divine gold that left a deep memory on him must be valuable if dug out.
"This kind of thing, actually... forget it." Remembering the way Matsuda Jinhirei couldn't afford three meals a day and went to the laboratory to check in, Miyano Akemi had no choice but to nod, "I'll ask Shiho first. Okay. Matsuda-kun has been digging in all day long, and Shiho can’t stand it anymore.”
What she said was somewhat euphemistic. To be more precise, Haibara Ai had already lost her patience and pointed at Matsuda Jinpei's nose and got angry.
Haihara Ai, who speaks softly outside the laboratory and sometimes has a mysterious accent, but her style in the laboratory is completely inherited from Karasawa Ikawa, and is unquestionably experimental. Room tyrant type.
Although her laboratory does have some content related to cognitive psychology, it is more mainly biomedical research, her reverse deduction of drug A and further iteration of the antidote. While the process was still going on, there was a colleague who passed by her every day as if she had something to do to check out the incubator, and her anger was suddenly detonated.
Matsuda Jinpei was caught by her yesterday for sneaking into the laboratory again and was being held in the basement to wash flasks for her.
"There is nothing we can do about it, after all. His most important friend." Tang Ze spread his hands and expressed that he was helpless. "That was the reason why he grew up with him and became the cause of his death. I can understand why he can't calm down."
Although the group of people at the same time in the police academy all had a good relationship with each other, and they developed into close friends because of their like-mindedness and classmate friendship, people like Matsuda Jinpei, Hagiwara Kenji, Furitani Rei and Morofushi Kagemitsu had been together since childhood. Friends who grow up have a deeper friendship.
That is to say, Zhufu Jingguang kept Karasawa secret at that time. If Amuro Toru knew their plan and the rhythm of their actions in advance, this guy might also come to their laboratory to hatch eggs. ...
Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was sitting on the side and felt that he was being shot inexplicably, raised his head from the computer, cleared his throat and changed the subject: "Let's talk about this new operation. We need all of us There must be something unusual about the dispatch of police officers, right?"
"A dozen lives, what do you think?" Tang Ze squinted his eyes with his hands on his hands. , I would describe the guy who killed so many people as extremely vicious, but for this murderer, I might use another word. Suddenly, even Xingchuan Hui, who was taking a nap on the sofa, raised his head and looked towards Tang Ze.
"Are the more than ten lives caused by deliberate harm?" Kimie Shimabukuro, who was diligently cleaning the war room, straightened up on the broom and confirmed with some shock, "That's too scary..."
In terms of impact, they have seen people with more serious consequences. During the incident at Nagato's house, they came into contact with Nagato, who caused a huge fire accident just because of his negligence and arrogance. Bright, but brutal, he did not kill people by relying on his personal strength. This number of casualties was purely a tragedy caused by cowardice that did not dare to bear the consequences and the untimely response of the local fire department.
This is the first time in their records that they killed so many people in one go for personal desires.
"Yes. Once a person's desires expand, they can do anything. And the more serious the consequences of this fanaticism, the less likely the person involved will give up." Tang Ze said lightly. , lowered his head and glanced at the business card in his hand.
Other titles or titles are not important. Just Mamiya's surname is enough to arouse Karasawa's alertness.
This is a request received from Goro Akechi. Combined with the recent schedule news from Haibara Ai, Karasawa has basically locked in what the case is.
It was precisely because he understood the causes and consequences that Tang Ze felt that he needed to pay more attention to it.
"Furthermore, I think there must be something special about this guy's palace being affected by so many lives. It is necessary to get to know and get in touch with him." Tangze shook the business card in his hand. , another reason for focusing on this case was also thrown out.
He has not forgotten the tragedy that happened in the Twilight Annex that was once deeply connected to Karasuma Renya, which he may come into contact with in the near future.
Dozens of people died overnight, just because of a secret text about hidden treasure...
Tangze instinctively felt that this incident must have some significance from the special perspective of cognitive mythology. As for what it was, he felt that he could get a glimpse of it from this trip.
