Chapter 856 Some past events
“It is a little difficult to identify the person responsible for the fire 4 years ago as Mutsumi Nishikawa. It may require more efforts from the police, but she kept Mrs. Masashiro Mamiya alive in a secret room. It is true that she died of starvation and replaced her identity, and illegally occupied many properties of the Mamiya family. In short, she has been taken away by the police, and we don’t need to worry about the rest.”
While driving. While talking, Dr. Ali glanced at the children in the rearview mirror.
The camping turned into a thrilling castle adventure. Although it seemed to be a good deal in the end, it was contrary to his original intention.
Fortunately, although the children found the secret passage, since Mutsumi Saikawa had been trying to hunt down Conan and those young people, he never met the children and did not experience too scary scenes, which was good. situation.
"But, the old lady is so pitiful..." Chewing the bread taken from Mamiya's house, Yoshida Ayumi couldn't help but her eyes were a little tearful. She didn't know whether it was out of pure sympathy or because she was choked by the bread. "Why is this fake?" Grandma likes to starve others to death so much."
"Because it's too cowardly and too selfish." Haibara Ai looked at a fashion magazine without raising his head. "No matter what happened four years ago. The tower was burned to the ground, and it was the old lady and the manservant who tried to explore the secrets of the tower who were killed in the past few years. She chose the method of killing without facing death, setting a fire and running away, and locking people in the secret room. Just leave, so that you can't hear the victim's tragic cry before he died, and you don't have to feel the guilt of taking other people's lives up close."
"This is too abominable," Mota Kojima snorted twice. , "Since she is so cowardly, then she might as well not harm anyone. What the hell is that?"
"Maybe she really doesn't have much strength. She can't kill people except by using secret passages in despicable ways. That's why." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya swallowed the bread and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that we caught her this time. It's time for her to pay for what she did." br>
"Of course..." Haiyuan Ai heard what he said, with a slight smile on her lips.
After finding a handbag she was satisfied with in a magazine, she took a photo of it with her mobile phone and silently sent it to Tang Ze's mailbox.
He said that the little girl just wanted to go out and have fun, but in the end, she was given so much extra work to blackmail such a despicable person, and her conscience would not hurt at all.
As for Mutsumi Saikawa...
Even if the law cannot give her the sanctions she deserves, the Phantom Thieves' methods are enough to be a deterrent.
Even without considering how much effort the Mamiya family will put into seeking revenge against her in this trial, this woman will regret for the rest of her life for the big mistake she made due to her greed. .
I don’t know what kind of scenes the Phantom Thieves and Kudo put that woman through, and why it feels like she has a big mental problem...
Thinking about this, Haibara Ai turned his attention to the person sitting in the deputy chair While driving, Conan remained silent and did not participate in their conversation.
Having witnessed the miraculous power of the Phantom Thieves with my own eyes and seeing such a mysterious scene, is Kudo’s current world view okay...
Writing and drawing Conan in his notebook naturally He couldn't feel the pity in his eyes behind him. He was staring at the mind map he had drawn in his notebook and brainstorming.
He gained a lot from this trip. The door to another world that the Phantom Thieves opened to him through this case gave him a lot of inspiration.
Nowadays, he has come into contact with a considerable number of people related to the organization.
In addition to the gin and vodka that he was first exposed to, he was also exposed to Tequila, who was killed by a bomb at a game exhibition, and was killed in the director's memorial service. Pisco, who had been silenced, pretended to be a new doctor and had contact with Belmode, and sneaked into Ireland in the Metropolitan Police Department...
Of course, there is also Haibara Ai, who used to be codenamed Shirley, and... Kumail, a member of the code name whose true identity is still unknown.
In addition to these people, there are also many other people who can be identified as having connections with the organization. Some of these people are consciously working for the organization, such as the former Miyano Akemi and the current Akechi Goro. More of them are guys who were silenced by the organization as they were exposed to their sight...
Based on the information he currently has, he can be sure that only this organization is assassinating people everywhere, for the sake of everyone. Based on various considerations and self-interests, we have engaged in illegal transactions, raised a large amount of funds, are promoting many extreme scientific research projects, and have actively recruited many computer programmers with excellent technical skills...
As he wrote this, Conan's mind couldn't help but be temporarily interrupted from sorting out clues.
Except for the fact that they kill people and make money in a shady way, it sounds more like some strange institution or religion than a criminal group or a terrorist organization...
After all, what are they recruiting programmers for? Is it for Noah’s Ark?
However, the underlying program of Noah's Ark was basically independently developed by the talented young man Hiroki Sawada. Most of the subsequent game design and construction were completed by Noah himself after studying. After all, the organization not only did not spend much energy in this process, but also had negative effects.
——Refers to using Noah’s Ark as a smart office assistant, which is entirely a matter of customers rather than developers.
The Phantom Thieves have fully demonstrated to him what kind of terrifying power Noah can exert when he plays an intelligent assistant. No matter how you think about it, this shouldn't be the credit of the programmers the organization found. On the contrary, the organization has lost Noah, an excellent wheelchair, and does not know whether he can still walk independently in paperless office.
Oh, by the way, there are also engineers like Yuan Jiaming who develop other projects...
“So, what is the purpose of the organization looking for so many excellent programmers? , you can’t just want to develop some cross-generational game project... Hasn’t that project been completed by Noah’s Ark..."
Muttering to himself quietly, Conan raised his head and will explore Their eyes were focused on the large RV driving behind them on the road, not too far but not too close.
There is no way, their car and the doctor's car are really on the same road, it is impossible not to drive in the same direction.
So, does studying program development have anything to do with that world?
That world that transcends reality, seems to stand outside time and space, and can reveal the essence of reality...
"Well, so, is this your current boss?"< br>
Hagiwara Kenji moved a little closer and looked at Karasawa, who was curled up on the sofa to catch up on his sleep.
The Phantom Thieves who stayed with Conan all night were very hard, but during the day Karasawa was also responsible for all social interactions with Mamiya's family, inquiring about the Twilight Mansion, communicating with the police who arrived, etc. Wait, the others still have time to rest. Tang Ze has really been working continuously for more than thirty hours. It is very normal for him to fall asleep without saying anything after getting in the car.
"To be more precise, I will also be your boss from now on." Matsuda Jinpei nodded and involuntarily lowered his voice.
Not only him, but everyone in the car, including Noah who was still running the program, consciously controlled the volume.
Even if they knew that Tangze's sleep quality was always very good, as long as he wanted to, he could lie down and enter deep sleep anytime and anywhere, and the efficiency of replenishing energy was amazingly high, everyone still wanted to give him a good sleep. Rest environment.
Although this guy doesn't admit it, everyone sees how he does things regardless of his own life or death.
Hagiwara Kenji looked up and down at Karasawa, who looked a little too young no matter how young he looked. He lowered his head again, looked at the monitoring instrument on his wrist, and then looked at the many incomprehensible things that were running automatically. Looking at the program screen, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Children today are really amazing..."
The person who examined him was a primary school student whose head reached to his thighs. The person who developed this kind of artificial intelligence that looked like a science fiction movie was a ten-year-old who was not even in school. A child who cannot go to school, and his future immediate boss is a minor...
Everyone likes to say that the future belongs to children, but this is a bit too much.
"Hey..." Matsuda Jinpei patted his friend who was obviously younger than him now and spoke inexplicably like an uncle, "Karasawa is not an ordinary kid. He heard what he said. But he will be resented.”
Although Tangze himself is very young and his face looks younger than his age, the way he acts does not look like he has just grown up and has been mentally confused for ten years. , children who actually only received 8 years of education.
This does not refer to ability. Of course, Tangze's ability is indeed very strong.
However, according to his own statement, most of his abilities are partly a gift from his parents, and the other part comes from the special power he awakened. This is an extra-normal part given to him by talent and opportunity. It has nothing to do with age or experience.
What is truly surprising is what lies beyond these terrifying powers. Occasionally, in certain environments where the pressure increases sharply, at major decision-making moments, Matsuda Jinpei will feel that this guy's overly stable internal drive and behavior concepts are not like an 18-year-old boy, and may even make him He had the illusion that this person might be older than him.
If you treat him as an ordinary child, you will definitely suffer a big loss.
"It's unexpected that you have such a high opinion of him. You really don't like people who are under management." Hagihara Kenji turned to look at his friend's much mature face, "Jinpei-chan has really grown up. ..."
"You guy..."
"Hey, let go, it's too vicious to pinch here. How can you treat an old friend who finally survived like this!"
"It's not easy for you to survive, it's obviously not easy for us, okay?"
"Hey, hey, you two, keep your voices down, or you will be kicked out of the car by Miss Mingmei if you make trouble again..."
Zhu Fu Jingguang threw away the file in his hand, shook his head to get rid of too many names from his chaotic thoughts, stood up, controlled the two people who were wrestling with each other with one hand, and dragged them away from the sofa. Go before Miyano Akemi's death stare is directed at them.
When passing by Tang Ze, he lowered his head and looked at his sleeping face.
Kangze, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, had a calm and peaceful expression, without any trace of trouble, which really suited his age.
I always feel that Tangze is a little depressed today, I don’t know why.
Did the news from the Twilight Pavilion put some pressure on him, or was it because Hagiwara finally woke up and allowed him to temporarily let go of the periodic pressure, so did the accumulated fatigue explode?
Forget it, if Tangze doesn't want to say it, there's no point in thinking about it. As teammates, all they can do is support him with actions and let him have a good sleep...
Sleep deeply Tang Ze was sitting in the Velvet Bar at this time, holding a glass of whiskey and sitting across from Leon in silence.
He slowly drank up the wine in the glass, and when he placed the empty glass on the bar, he glanced at the goblet placed in a prominent position.
The golden sand overflowing from his body continued to flow into the cup, and then quickly dispersed. The golden light was like a cluster of small fireworks under the warm yellow light of the bar.
Karasawa knew that this was the mission progress bar that was still in operation. With Hagiwara Kenji's part collected, his mission was almost advancing to the final stage.
Rei Fangtani's biggest regret in his career as a police officer was about to be made up for by him using unreasonable means and going his own way. He had to admire how Rei Fangtani was able to digest that there was a necromancer trying to drag him to death. Friend the fact.
The technique is light and dreamy, as if there is some force in the dark that is determined to pursue a perfect ending.
Thinking of this, Tang Ze turned back, watched Leon silently refill his empty wine glass, and suddenly asked: "Since drinking doesn't affect it, do you have any cigarettes here?"< br>
Leon raised his eyes, looked at his inexplicably melancholy guest today, and said calmly: "You have only the last task left, why are you getting worried? It's because you think of the past. "
Having received a lot of new information, Tang Zeben should have a lot to ask Leon.
The treasure light of the Twilight Pavilion, the special space in the closed environment, hallucinations and visions...
For this world and himself, Karasawa actually had many things to ask.
But these things are the same anytime you ask them. Leon will not change his answers to these questions just because he asked them two days late. At this moment, he has more on his mind than that.
"A little bit." Seeing that Leon ignored his request for a cigarette, Tangze didn't mention it anymore. He just tapped his fingers that felt particularly empty on the table and silently pulled the wine glass back down. In front of him, "You can see all my past, including, you know, then you must also know Zhang Zhengqing."
Leon raised his golden eyes and looked at Tang Ze, who had a dull expression. He also poured himself a glass of wine and took the initiative to pick up the glass and clink it with Tangze's glass.
"Ah, of course I know. You are his special agent."
Special agent, also known as special police, is a police type that is responsible for certain special tasks.
To put it simply, he can be understood as the contact person of Tangze, a deep undercover agent, who is responsible for receiving his information, proactively contacting him when necessary, and responsible for uploading and distributing information.
"If you think about it carefully, I should scold this bastard. Damn it, I have already sent the message back. If he is less showy, don't come to me for no reason and say that I have lost contact. Maybe I’ll be able to go home intact.”
Tang Ze slammed the wine glass, spilled some wine, and suddenly briefly returned to his former undercover state, with a slightly bigger drink. The Chinese with a Malaysian accent began to curse.
"It's reached such a critical moment. Even if I die on the spot, it doesn't matter. Why the hell did you launch the nails to find me! What will happen if you find me! You have been doing this job for so long, don't you have the ability to judge? , I was the one who needed to be protected at that time? I was not exposed after being undercover for six years, but because this guy messed up, he was caught as a dog of other forces. It’s really fucking embarrassing..."
Leon picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass quietly, listening to him repeat this complaint that he had said in his heart more than once without any intention of interrupting.
Waiting until Tang Ze finished his scolding, exhaled a breath, grabbed the cup on the table and drank it all, he shrugged and said softly: "You are right. But Zhang Zhengqing is a man. They’re all gone, so it’s useless for you to say this.”
Tang Ze paused and put the empty wine glass back on the table.
“Yeah, no more.”
None of them are here anymore.
In this kind of work, review and nitpicking are of course things that only survivors have the right to discuss, and more often than not, no one will nitpick in that situation.
Being able to receive the award alive is already something to be proud of.
And his contact person was not the only one who fell on this road.
“I was asked to leave by my employer before I officially graduated. Later I heard that there were more than 30 people from our class who entered our employer, and a few of them went to brigades in other provinces. I went there, and some went to the lower cities and counties..." Tang Ze took a breath and did not finish what he said.
He is a secret service agent with a sensitive identity, so it is naturally impossible for him to attend someone else's memorial service.
But after being settled, sometimes the old leader would suddenly come to sit with him.
At that time, he had recovered from the most decadent state, could take care of himself, and found some things to do to kill time. In fact, he no longer needed more attention from the organization, so whenever this He knew at that moment that maybe someone had fallen down quietly again. The old leader who had no place to talk could only use the excuse to look at him, come to his place for a drink and sit for a while.
It’s hard for Tang Ze to explain the reason for his sentimentality at this moment.
Perhaps it was the resurrection of Kenji Hagihara that finally gave him time to think about these things, or maybe it was the special space and strange hallucinations of the castle that aroused his emotions...
"Fully served." Without talking about the long-ago past that could no longer be recalled, Tangze pushed the cup in front of Leon.
In short, he also wants to drink some wine and sit for a while.
