"Tang Ze—"

Hearing this shout, Karasawa skillfully took a step to the side and grabbed Suzuki Sonoko's arm while avoiding her lunging body.

"Be careful, Suzuki-san." Tang Ze quietly changed the commuter bag to the side, separating him from Suzuki Sonoko.

After getting along with them, this is the more troublesome.

He suspected that it was because of Suzuki Sonoko's closeness that the social phobia Hoshikawa Teru became more and more reluctant to come to school for him.

"Garden, don't you always do this." Mao Lilan dragged her friend aside and didn't let her continue to lean on Tang Ze, "It's very difficult for people like you." ”

"Alright, alright." Sonoko Suzuki muttered and stood up straight.

She also knows that it is impossible to catch Tang Ze, but it is rare to have a handsome guy who is familiar with it, and it is good to be able to paste it!

"We only met yesterday and only came back from Izu yesterday...... You're too enthusiastic, you'll scare Tang Ze. Mao Lilan turned around, stood between her best friend and Tang Ze, and dragged her to continue walking, "Hurry up, don't be late for the first day of school." ”

With a smile on his face, Tang Ze continued to walk on the way to Didan High School, diverging his thoughts a little.

Conan's side has seen the "new transfer student" now, right?

————

"I heard that the surname is gray, and it turns out to be ......"

"Ayumi, have you already met the new classmates?"

"No, I just heard Ms. Kobayashi say her name."

"Gray Plains, what a strange surname......"

"It's a little weird, but if you compare it to Conan, it's okay?"

"Hey, hey......" Conan was holding his cheeks and looking at the children chattering in the classroom with a bored face, and when he heard Kojima Motota's complaint, he turned his head unhappily, "Edogawa is just a relatively small number of people...... What's weird? ”

"The last name is already strange, and the name is even stranger—" Conan's glare was not lethal to him, and Kojima Motota spit further with a hippie smile behind his back.

There's no way, who let him see all the detectives at that time, and he himself is familiar with all mystery writers......

Before Conan could refute, the door to the classroom had already been opened with a "bang".

Standing next to the smiling Kobayashi Sumiko was a little girl wearing a black sleeveless top and white shorts.

The eyes of the children in the classroom were attracted by this movement, and everyone's eyes were cast in unison.

"Wow, that's so cute......" Conan whispered in exclamation when he heard Ayumi sitting in front of him, covering his mouth.

Conan looked carefully at his new classmate, who was carrying a school bag.

The girl had a delicate and lovely face, blue eyes, chestnut hair, and the same color as Karasawa - why did he say again?

After a brief run, Conan drew his attention back.

The silhouette is slightly darker than the average person, and with this hair color and eyes, maybe it's a half-breed...... Well, it's the same as Tang Ze......

Conan, who inexplicably had a sense of déjà vu, subtly watched the expressionless little girl follow Mr. Kobayashi to the podium.

"This is Gray Plains." Sumiko Kobayashi smiled and wrote the kanji and kana phonetics of her name on the blackboard, "I'm going to study with you from today on." Everyone should get along with her! ”

Gray Plains bowed shallowly, raised his head to the applause of the children, and his gaze fell directly on Conan's face.

"Well, I'll see, Gray Yuan-san can sit ......"

A few little boys who had vacant seats around them became restless, eager to raise their hands.

Gray Yuan didn't squint, still looked at Conan steadily, walked off the podium by himself, and walked straight to the empty table beside Conan.

"Huh?" Conan, who was still observing her, was stunned.

Gray Yuan Ai opened his seat, put down his school bag, and sat down upright.

"Please advise." She looked at Conan for a few more seconds before she said calmly.

"Ahh......h Please advise me more......" Conan, whose momentum was inexplicably suppressed, said in a small volume.

This gray plain mourning, did you know him before, why didn't she seem too friendly?

"Huh? How proud do you feel? ”

"Could it be that you are too nervous?"

"It's like, it's not easy to get along ......"

Picking up the chatter of the children around him, Ash Yuan took out the stationery and textbooks in his bag and calmly arranged his desk.

"Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era"?

It's really a little ridiculous, the neighbors who get along day and night have unknowingly changed people, and they are all aware of the detectives?

————

"Nao-I haven't seen you on a vacation, I miss you so much-"

"Mio, why did you change your hairstyle?"

With his hands in his pockets, Tang Ze followed Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, walked through the noisy crowd, and walked into the school building.

As soon as he entered Teidan High School, he habitually remained silent, only responding with simple modal words when Sonoko Suzuki or Moriran accosted him.

In school, Tang Ze still maintains a taciturn social phobia, even if he has been in school for a few days, there are only two people who can really talk, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko.

No way, who made his No. 2 machine really a social terror?

If he knows too many classmates, Hoshikawa Hui can't handle it alone, and it is easy to leave flaws and spread strange rumors.

After all, not every high school student is a nervous big guy like Sonoko Suzuki, who "just looks at the face, and it doesn't matter what else matters".

"Hey, did you read yesterday's news? About the 'Monster of the Heart'? ”

"Someone is imitating the Monster Thieves to make a teaser letter, right? Today's newspaper also talks about it. ”

Suddenly catching a familiar keyword in his ears, Tang Ze tilted his head sideways, listening to the conversation of the students walking around on the other side.

"Yes, because the 'Monster of the Heart' will send a lot of teaser letters, and the media will show them a lot...... It seems that many people have recently imitated this technique and sent advance letters to others everywhere. ”

"It's really Doha for boring people, but in that case, isn't their notice letter meaningless? After all, their actions seem to be carried out in secret, who can tell the truth from the fake? ”

"I don't know, it seems that someone is using this to play a prank, and there is a lot of trouble."

"When something becomes famous, there will be people who follow and imitate it, hahaha I remember that every time Kidd the Monster Thief sends a preview, his fans and even cosplay imitators will appear nearby, and the police will catch a lot of people wrong......"

Oh? Is there a copycat in the Monster Thieves? That's kind of interesting......

Well, but will anyone have fun in his name and ruin the reputation of the monster thief of the heart?

Go back and discuss with Xingchuan and them, I have to find a way to get some anti-counterfeiting signs and the like.

The reputation of the Monster Thieves is related to his progress in unlocking the subway, so he can't follow them.

"Really, what's the use of imitating someone's teaser letter?" Suzuki Sonoko, who also heard this laughter, rolled her eyes, "The person who is really targeted by the monster thief of the heart will soon repent and repent, and he doesn't need to prove the truth at all?" If you can't do that, there's no point in imitating it, right, who would believe it? ”

"Oh? Garden, do you sound quite supportive of them? Maolilan smiled and walked upstairs with her, "I remember you were a fan of Kidd the Thief before......"

"And now, too!" Suzuki Sonoko crossed her waist and said frankly, "No one stipulates that if you like the monster thief Kidd, you can't like the 'monster thief of the heart'!" Mainly, Xiaolan, you look at the photos on the news on Joker, this is also a handsome guy, or white-haired! ”

Tang Ze, who was pondering how to prevent counterfeiting, couldn't help but look sideways.

Is this Yan Fen? When you see a new handsome guy, you climb the wall directly, it's so real.

"However, it is still necessary to find out whether it is true or not, and it is not good for them to imitate it like this, right?" Mao Lilan put his index finger on his cheek and thought about it, "Because I can't figure out whether it's true or not, then when I see someone else receiving a notice letter, I will subconsciously question whether this person is a bad person, right?" After all, the Monster of the Heart's thieves have targeted all the villains who have committed crimes or want to commit crimes......"

The three of them walked to the door of the Year 2B class, entered the door one after the other, and walked to their seats.

"That's right, if I see someone else receiving a notice letter, my first reaction is probably ...... It's also ......."

As she spoke, Sonoko Suzuki stopped, and the words in her mouth gradually stopped.

Tang Ze, who was walking behind her and looking down at his phone, paused, and found that with the silence of Suzuki Sonoko, the classroom was in an eerie quiet state.

Tang Ze looked up, and then saw ......

A red and black advance letter, made of a collage of newspaper leads, pierced by a sharp knife, was nailed to Tang Ze's desk.
