Chapter 13: "The Monster of the Heart"
"I'm so sleepyβ"
Tang Ze yawned in the mirror.
He was bored, but he still had to walk back to the cafΓ©, and then quietly hid and cut the newspaper for a long time to make a notice letter, and he had to arrange to send it out, and he couldn't expose the whole process to Amuro Toru, otherwise the news would fall off the horse as soon as it came out, and the business would collapse directly before it was halfway.
So when the cafΓ© closed, his eyes were full of relief as he saw Amuro leave.
Knowing that someone is more tired than me, I am in a good mood.
The boy in the mirror is wearing a double-breasted short tuxedo on the upper body, a knee-length shorts on the bottom, and a scarf wrapped around his neck floats behind his back against gravity, which has a kind of seasonal beauty.
The most outrageous thing has to be this mask.
"Is this called a mask," Tang Ze leaned closer to the mirror and pulled it, "It's called an eye patch!" β
The upper half of his face was obscured by a straight, semicircular mask, with no holes in his eyes at all.
What a high imitation 9s.
I don't know how it works, but the mask β let's just admit it β didn't obscure any vision, but from the outside it looked like a smooth leather blindfold, like someone had pierced his eyes with strips of cloth.
After studying the mask for a while, and then studying the gently fluttering scarf for a while, Tang Ze closed the strange thief form.
In short, he has a new skin that can be disguised with one click.
Being able to appear in the real world as a monster thief, and covering his distinctive eyes, is rounded off to be a new vest.
Good things, all good things.
Tang Ze folded his hands over his chest and fell asleep in a particularly peaceful position.
Now there's only one thing left, and this can't torture Leon hard in his dreams?
ββββ
When Tang Ze was frolicking and playing in his dreams, many people couldn't sleep.
On the street outside the Maru family's house, residents whispered to each other.
Due to the bad character of the head of the Maru family, no one in the neighborhood dared to really come forward to watch, but it was really eye-catching to paste the exterior wall of the Maru family and throw small cards all over the street.
The sound of small chanting was everywhere.
"The despicable villain of greed, Mr. Marudenjiro." A woman passing by the alleyway leaned close to the paper on the wall.
"We are all aware of all the shameless acts you have done by tormenting the miserable with money, trampling on their dignity, and trampling the treasures and efforts of others into the dust." The office worker who picked up the card approached the text on it.
"Tomorrow, we will make you pay the consequences for all your crimes." The servant trembled and took the card and read it word by word, "Your twisted desires, we have accepted." The Monster of the Heart's Thieves respects. β
"Bang!" Marudenjiro slammed the table and spilled the tea in the teacup.
"Who did that?!" Although Marudenjiro is over 100 and a half years old, he roared and was full of anger, "Tear up all this garbage for me, and smash it all for me and throw it away!" β
"I don't know, sir." The manservant lowered his head and didn't dare to look at his flushed face, "This is plastered all over the outer wall, and there are also on the street, and the whole block is full of ......"
"What about the surveillance, what about the security outside the door?!"
"The surveillance only captured a few children who had posted them on the door, and they said that they had picked them up on the street......"
Marudenjiro's face turned pale, he snatched three or four pieces of paper from the manservant's hand, clutched them into a ball, and smashed them on the other party: "Useless things, why don't you go and clean them up for me quickly!" β
"Yes!" The manservant did not dare to delay, and went out as if he had fled.
Marudenjiro gasped for breath and sat down at the table glaring angrily at the falling ball of paper.
His wife, Maru Inako, sat on the other side, covering her smiling lips with a teacup, and looked coldly at his angry appearance.
The things he did, Marudaozi was faintly aware of it.
Is there something wrong on this piece of paper?
The business of the Maru Group is booming, and Marudenjiro is not a person who lacks millions of yen at all, but he always has to use some unclean hands and feet, as if the dirty money is more satisfying to him.
"Okay husband, maybe someone is jealous of the family's recent booming business and is spreading rumors to ruin your reputation?" Mrs. Maru smiled sheepishly, "It's all arrogant nonsense, don't be angry." β
Marudenjiro glared at her hatefully: "What do you know, this kind of rumor will spread and damage the reputation of the store!" Forget it, why am I telling you this. β
This woman's whereabouts have become more and more sneaky in recent days, and she is absent-minded at home, and Marudenjiro suspects that she has a lover outside, and is entrusting a detective to investigate the matter, and is upset when he sees her smiling face.
Everywhere is useless waste, Marudenjiro angrily got up and left, walking towards the storage room where the collection was kept.
Rather than the nonsense of "bearing the consequences for all crimes", he prefers to believe that this provocation in the name of "Monster Thieves" may be aimed at his collection.
Although the means of collecting may not be bright, Marudenjiro has never shied away from displaying his rich collection, and in addition to being a successful entrepreneur, he is also a well-known collector.
Don't be a low-level scum who can't afford to pay back the money, and find someone who wants to steal things, right?
Marudenjiro pondered darkly in his heart.
On the other side of the world that he didn't know, Shadow Marunjiro, dressed in a crown robe, had a gloomy and terrifying expression as he picked up a katana from the wall and drew its shiny blade.
"Damn thief, want to covet my treasure? Wait, there is no return! β
ββββ
"The target doesn't have a training background."
"Are you sure?"
"We have collected information on the target's life in the past ten years, and the target of the middle and high school has no long-term absence records, which is completely in line with the life trajectory of ordinary students."
On the top floor of the apartment opposite the cafΓ©, Shuichi Akai, who had rented a room here, frowned as he heard the latest news from his colleagues on the other end of the phone.
"To get rid of all the tracking in such a short period of time, he can't be an ordinary child."
There are several photos in front of Shuichi Akai, which are the moment when Karasawa was bumped into in the shopping street in the afternoon.
There is Tang Ze who turned his head in surprise, as well as the picture of him standing up with his fists to block, and finally reaching out to support the other party.
"You can also see the screenshot of the photo, the target instinctively made a defensive response, the hand and foot movements are coordinated quickly, and he has a very solid basic skills in boxing or fighting."
If these photos were shown to Amuro, he would immediately have a strange sense of familiarity.
Isn't this what Toru Amuro is like?
"There is no gap in the back of the country, but what about the front of the country?" Shuichi Akai asked thoughtfully.
"Xiu, the target was still eleven or twelve-year-old at the time......"
"Don't forget, he is the child of Tang Ze and his wife." Shuichi Akai switched his phone to the other side, took out a lighter and lit a cigarette, and by the way, put the photo in front of him in an ashtray and lit it as well, "When I was eleven or twelve, the target hadn't left their side yet. β
The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and then hesitated: "Will Tang Ze and his wife do experiments on their own children?" β
"It's not an experiment." Akai Shuichi smoked a cigarette and leaned against the window looking down at the black-lit street, "Tang Ze and his wife, it was for Tang Ze Zhao that their research work was started.
"If there is anything in the world that best reflects their research results, it must be Tang Zezhao himself."
