Chapter 288: The Strange Thief's Puzzle
Tang Ze bit the straw in his mouth and looked up at the sky.
Conan held his iced coffee and stared down at his fingers.
"Hey, you two, do you have something to say?" Heiji Hattori, who looked unhappy, propped his head with his fists, "Joining forces to deceive me for so long...... Especially you, Tang Ze, every time you answer, you have a lot of trouble, such as 'Kudo's investigation is very hard, I think it's better not to bother him', or 'I don't know how he's going', it's because you answered too seriously that I really believe that Kudo is investigating your affairs! β
Damn, these people in Tokyo are ......
Oh, Karasawa is from Kyoto, and it's the same, it's not a good thing......
"It's impossible for me to just publicize something so unbelievable as a child, right?" The innocent look on Tang Ze's face was very sincere, "I'm not lying, he's still paying attention to my affairs in this capacity, it's really very hard?" β
"...... you say," Hattori Heiji was stunned by his sophistry.
Tang Ze spread his hands and sighed with emotion: "Although I used to think that detectives would have some incident physique, oh, maybe it was me who fell in causation, and it was because of too many incidents that you would become detectives...... But in short, people have become children, and their physique is still the same as before, which is quite unlucky. β
"So, why don't you just use the anesthetic needle and let the Maori detective stand in front of the stage for him?" When it came to anesthetic needles, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but touch the back of his neck, "Who is that unlucky, has the Maori detective been stabbed by you more than ten or twenty times, this thing hurts a lot." β
"It won't hurt," Conan argued nonchalantly, "this time it's because the angle isn't right, and I don't usually feel anything if I go head-on......"
"Is that the point?" Hattori's eyes narrowed.
"It won't hurt, you ask Tang Ze, he has been hit by a needle in the arm." Conan pointed to the other party present.
How did he know if it hurt or not, when the needle did not penetrate the armband he was wearing, the fallen part was Tang Ze's realistic acting skills in play.
"Compared to discussing whether it hurts to prick people...... I said, Conan, did the same situation happen to you this time when you revealed your identity as I did this time? Tang Ze turned the spearhead back, "Put the person down, but the person woke up halfway through......"
Speaking of this, he laughed twice, and his expression narrowed: "What did I say before, going out with you will have an accident, how about it?" Am I right? β
"What are you talking about......" Conan was also silenced by Tang Ze.
Easily interrupting the bickering of the two naΓ―ve high school students, Tang Ze shook his head.
The aggression of the language is still too weak.
"Anyway, according to the progress of your investigation, the culprit that caused Kudo to become like this, is it the same group of people as the organization that framed you and caused the death of your parents?" Heiji Hattori brought the topic back to the point, "It's unimaginable. β
Conan glanced at Gray Plains, who had his back to them, seemingly uninterested in the conversation between the few of them, and focused on his own affairs.
After clarifying the kinship between Tang Ze and Gray Yuan, everything that happened to Tang Ze's parents is easy to understand.
The organization controls a group of scholars engaged in research in related fields, and they are developing some very special drugs, and the changes in themselves and the gray plains are affected by them.
Thinking of this, his thoughts involuntarily diverged to other places.
So, joker's ability, could it be a similar situation......
ββββ
After exchanging progress with the client and another detective, Heiji Hattori, who has not slept for an hour since yesterday and has not slept for an hour, yawns and leaves Dr. Asasa's house.
Due to the sensitivity of the topic of discussion, they decisively set the place of the conversation in Agasa's house, where there were many insiders, so as not to leak important information.
Seeing Hattori shuffle out the door, Conan let out a sigh and placed the bag he had been holding in his hand on the coffee table.
"Is this what you want me to check, Kudo?" Gray Yuan Ai sat next to Tang Ze and watched Conan take out something with a solemn face, "Books? What is there to detect about this. I'm not a professional scar examiner, and I don't have the ability to do it, so if I were to help you investigate the case, I might not be able to do anything. β
Tang Ze watched Conan carefully take out the old book, but there was no reaction.
As soon as he saw what Conan had carried, he knew what was inside, after all, he had put it in with his own hands.
"The Study of Scarlet, well, seems like a very precious version. I don't know much about rare edition books, but this one is still quite valuable, right? β
"Yes, the only record of a sale is that another copy of the same edition has sold for more than Β£200,000, which is very rare. In the case we encountered on this trip, the deceased, who was the organizer of the event, was in possession of a copy. β
"Oh, you mentioned, 'precious lone book' or something. So, you won the book back? Tang Ze, who pretended not to know, acted very seriously.
Conan shook his head, his mood becoming more complicated: "No. The deceased's book was taken out by the murderer who entered his room and destroyed the communication equipment, and when the police arrived, we assisted in the search and found it at the murderer's place. β
"If you have this kind of thing, it will be detained as evidence by the police until the end of the trial, right? How did you get it? β
"You brought the evidence straight out? Kudo, even though detectives are basically people who flout or even ignore the rules, you're still a little ......."
"Hey, I act like I'm a lawbreaker!" Conan hurriedly interrupted the increasingly outrageous speculation of the brother and sister, "I won't do this kind of thing, I investigate the evidence that the police have already collected, and they are all honestly applied by the police who handled the case, okay?" β
Tang Ze and Gray Yuan looked at him indifferently.
Anyone who followed him into several murders and watched their detectives rummaging through boxes and cabinets at the scene of the crime, no one would believe such a pale argument.
Conan inhaled weakly, "Forget it, that's not the point...... The point is, this is not the one in the hands of the police. I specifically checked with the police, and it was not. However, whether it was damaged or preserved, it was exactly the same as the book in the hands of the deceased. β
He cherished, and solemnly, put the expensive book flat on the table.
It's true that this book is very expensive, and when I got it, I loved this surprise very much.
But he also knew that this book was not only a gift from Joker to his Sherlock Holmes fan, but also a reward for "you win a game" that Joker had mentioned in their last call.
More likely, this is the answer to the true power of Joker.
Joker has put an important secret in his own hands, and as he said, they are going to complete this gentleman's confrontation in a classical way.
Now, the thief has given his puzzle and is waiting for the detective's answer.
And what the detective wants to know is......
"You two are the people I can find who know the most about organizational research projects." Solemnly, Conan looked directly at the two people opposite, "What I want to know is, are there any projects in these studies that are likely to achieve similar results?" No matter how incredible, is there? β
