Chapter 7: "The Magician"
On the second day of the crossing, Karasawa managed to get the contact information of Sonoko Suzuki, Moriran, and even Conan Edogawa.
In Conan's string of explicit hints such as "Uncle Maori is a private detective" and "high school students are still minors", Tang Ze comprehended and accepted the other party's unspeakable kindness.
Anyway, it wasn't him who was killed.
Conan now looks at Amuro like a scumbag, but Tang Ze's conscience doesn't hurt at all.
Fake wine is also wine, and it's good that Conan is far away from him now.
Tang Ze remembered that Conan in the early days was really clumsy in acting, and he felt that Mao Lilan could suspect him five times in three days.
Don't fall off at the speed of light in Bourbon.
Sending off the Grim Reaper group, Tang Ze hurriedly rehearsed the next dialogue in his heart.
The foreshadowing is already very complete, and if you can't resist the temptation, then it's not Bourbon, and a big drama is inevitable.
It just so happened that Karasawa also had something that needed Toru Amuro's help to test.
"Your dinner."
Amuro put the seafood pasta in front of Tang Ze, who was in a daze, and put another cup of hot cocoa in his hand.
Tang Ze, who didn't hear the footsteps at all, was startled defenselessly, thanked him calmly, and sighed that the undercover agent's business ability was really good, and he didn't forget to excuse himself: "Thank you, but I can actually ...... it myself."
"The boss said that your food and lodging are all taken care of by the store, and your parents should have paid for it, don't worry." The double-paid undercover agent who was reimbursed by multiple units opened his eyes and said nonsense, and was ready to count the invoices as high as the head of the organization, "In addition, you can use the kitchen in the store at will, don't always eat cold rice balls, it's not good for your health." ”
Picking up the chopsticks and poking the pasta, Tang Ze made a move.
So are you really installing surveillance in the minors' rooms, and what about the moral bottom line of the public security?
"Ah, I'm sorry," Karasawa slowly grabbed a piece of pasta with chopsticks, remembering another possibility, and said in a quieter voice, "Did Miss Enomoto tell you?" ”
Amuro, who didn't really have a monitor, nodded and said, "She said she prepared a sandwich for you in the morning, but you ate two rice balls and went to school." Don't stress too much, Tang Ze. ”
Tang Ze first stuffed a roll of noodles into his mouth, and then swallowed before replying: "I know." ”
"How does it taste? My craft is okay, right? Amuro smirked and poked Karazawa's head, which was about to be buried on the plate, guessing that he would choke on noodles in the next second, or stiffen like a frightened rabbit.
Why was Tang Ze so afraid of him? Thinking that he has been very considerate of his big brother since they met, Amuro can't help but guess.
Was it the violence that was encountered during the trial? Or did someone threaten and warn him before he got to Tokyo?
Sure enough, when he learned that the pasta was made by Toru Amuro, Tang Ze's chewing movements stopped, and he looked up and stared at him in amazement.
But what Tang Ze is complaining about in his heart is: Why poke my head again, does my head look very good?
Tang Ze looked away a little speechlessly: "It's delicious, thank you." ”
One thing to say, Amuro's cooking skills are really good, the pasta is soft and strong, and it is even more fragrant and elastic after being poured with caviar, so it can only be said that every job of the working emperor is found by ability.
Tang Ze clipped another chopstick.
"It's good to like it. Actually, you don't need to use so many honorifics, am I that scary? You always seem to be worried about upsetting me. I'm not that bad-tempered, don't be afraid, we'll have to get along for a long time. Amuro tactfully raised this point.
Conan's wary "I found you bad" look, of course he noticed.
Although Bourbon is indeed not a good person, he is indeed not a bad person, and his unmalicious contact has no reason to arouse Tang Ze's alarm.
Amuro decided to rule out the possibility that Tang Ze was aware of the organization's surveillance, and if Tang Ze's restraint was due to the reason that he felt that Amuro was a dangerous person, then it was necessary to consider the option of "Tang Ze clearly knew that the organization was persecuting him".
Tang Ze successfully got his hidden temptation, and decided to push the pot to the original people's experience of betraying his relatives, although Tang Ze didn't know very well, but Amuro definitely knew very well, so he smiled bitterly twice: "I didn't mean to target you, I'm sorry." I just, I don't know ......."
He made a sad expression recalling the sad events, and he wanted to speak and stopped, and he stopped talking, and everything was silent.
In a word, you understand everything, and it's up to you to make up for it.
Amuro, who has a well-developed brain and nerves, understands it after a little thought.
After the case, Tang Zezhao's notice of withdrawal from school was publicly posted, and then rumors circulated that he beat someone and caused serious injury, drunken manslaughter, or sexually harassed a junior high school student and caused death.
Someone is deliberately destroying Tang Zezhao's old interpersonal relationships, and the results are fruitful.
His classmates and neighbors shunned him, his home was spray-sprayed with insulting words, and his personal belongings in school lockers were maliciously destroyed.
It was precisely because Tang Zezhao could no longer live well in his original environment that he was transferred to Tokyo.
It's really a poor boy who is very unlucky, Amuro sighed, and his attitude softened: "Do you think that I will treat you maliciously because of your criminal record?" Someone bullied you, didn't she? ”
Tang Ze was silent.
Toru Amuro's words reminded him of some memories of his original body.
The child curled up in the quilt covered his ears, but he couldn't stop the sound of the mobile phone from coming in.
He knew what it was.
At first, it was questions and concerns, then doubts and rejections, and now only messages such as "murderer" and "go die" are left in his SNS and mailbox, and the once friendly friendship seems to have been forgotten.
His gradual silence did not calm the situation, and everything intensified. Someone turned his photo in black and white, and posted it on social platforms with the word murderer, so strangers who had never known him in his life also began to judge him.
He became a frightened bird, and he tried his best to avoid everyone's gaze, because everyone who walked on the road seemed to be stabbing at him with eyes full of hatred.
He's had enough.
Grabbing the noisy mobile phone next to the pillow, Tang Zezhao smashed it out with all his might.
"Won't you, Mr. Amuro?"
Tang Ze took a deep breath, and the tone of the rhetorical question was very gentle, but his tears were sliding down his cheeks one by one.
Gan, people who are cyberbullying deserve to die.
Gan, he couldn't hold it anymore, and it was a bit embarrassing to cry suddenly.
Due to the experience of his previous life, Tang Ze is a special talent who is good at controlling emotions and acting naturally, but now his tear ducts no longer seem to belong to him, and the sadness and pain from "Tang Zezhao" hit him, and he could only not let out a wail of grievances with all his might.
This is the grievance and despair of a young soul in his teens that he can't let go, and the pure emotional waves generally lap on Tang Ze's heart, making him unable to parry.
Tang Ze was struggling with the collapse of emotions, and in Amuro's eyes, his appearance of suddenly losing his highlights and tears falling silently was very convincing, which could be described as weak, pitiful and helpless.
"Of course not. Wipe your face, tears are about to fall into your face. Amuro turned his head reluctantly, grabbed the towel in his hand and slapped it on Tang Ze's face to cover his face, "I am your guardian now, and I will protect you." ”
Tang Ze's tears were still surging, but his heart had calmed down, and when he heard Amuro's words, his heart moved, and he felt that there was a door.
"Really?" Tang Ze, whose face was covered in a wet towel, said in a muffled voice.
"I'm not one to cheat on a child, you can trust me a little more." Amuro patted Tang Ze on the head, "I will fulfill my duties as a guardian, this is the agreement of adults." ”
Bourbon's ill intentions, what does it have to do with him falling to zero?
The undercover gentleman with a clear conscience promised without hesitation.
“…… Good. Reaching out to catch the towel and wiping his face indiscriminately, Tang Ze, who was covering the towel, protested sullenly, "So don't touch my head!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Tang Ze's waiting voice came as scheduled.
Leon's magnetic voice rang in his ears.
"I am you...... Thou shalt be my ......."
"Thou hast obtained a new deed here"
"The deed is what it is,"
"Breaking the Shackles for the Wings of Freedom"
"I, the first birth of the magician's mask, the wind of blessings"
"For the end game, more power......"
An interface popped up in front of Tang Ze.
