Chapter 520: Dreams and Dreams

"Okay, Wise Jun is definitely not as good as the two of you in terms of detective and reasoning skills." Facing the two very depressed detectives, Tang Ze followed Mao, "If you only think about solving puzzles and discovering the truth, you are all first-class." ”

Tang Ze's praise was sincere, without any politeness.

Due to the different mentalities and different sources of information, the level shown by Akechi Goro in the case can be regarded as a level that can be mixed up after combining Tang Ze's various plug-ins, the amount of information from the super game, and the judgment brought by Tang Ze's own experience.

Among them, Tang Ze's empirical judgment is sometimes not so easy to use - Ke Xue's murderer will not tell you about the laws of the objective world.

So for these detectives who have praised their IQ and reasoning level, Tang Ze really admires them.

Of course, when it was wise, he should have persecuted as well, and it was not good for them to get too close to Kumail.

Tang Ze's comfort was still effective, and the faces of the two young detectives with strong self-esteem were much better, but Hattori Heiji still pouted: "Usually when others praise people like this, there will be a 'but' ......"

"That's not what it means. It can only be said that the ability he is good at happens to be the part that you are not good at. Tang Ze laughed and told the truth, "People are sophisticated, maintain customer relationships, shape images, and maintain public attention...... He's aiming to create a hotly debated detective image, and he's running the character of 'Akechigo', and you're just trying to solve the case. ”

Whether it is the wise image created by Tang Ze or the original Erwuzai, to put it bluntly, the wise Wulang is only a detective to better penetrate into the relevant system, which is a demand for interests.

"What you said, it makes sense......" Hattori Heiji was stunned by the operation concept planned by Tang Ze's character, recalled what happened earlier, and couldn't help but exchange a look with Conan helplessly.

Akechi Goro is indeed quite good at these aspects.

When he returned to Nagato's house with the police escorting Hikato Akira, and Nagato Hideto, whose mobile phone had been seized for several hours, everyone who had already decided that Nagato Hidetomi had been killed because of Hinata's revelations was confused.

The ensuing scene was nothing short of chaotic.

Yuki Hinata and Hidetomi Nagato, who were crying, Nobuko Nagato, who found out that her dream had broken not long after she was proud, and Michizo Nagato, who was too stimulated and went straight to him......

It was really a scene that made people's scalps explode, but Akechi Goro walked up so calmly, first communicating with the main person in charge, Hattori Heizou, and then another suspect's family member, Yasue Nagato, who urgently needed an explanation......

As complicated as the woolen group and the grievances of wealthy families, it only took him more than half an hour to complete all the coordination work.

And it's handled beautifully, and it's never an exaggeration to say a word about professional PR.

Just look at the person who complains the most about Akechi Goro.,His client Nagato Nobuko.。

"I'm very sorry, Miss Nobuko, although I did accept your commission, but the more serious case came first, and I chose the more correct method after weighing it." Without mentioning how he provoked and set up the audience, Akechi Goro just maintained a faint smile and gently faced Nobuko Nagato, who was questioning, "You may want to consider ...... compared to these improper means"

The next words, he leaned into the ear of Nobuko Nagato, and after just a few words, the angry reproach on the other party's face disappeared without a trace, and his expression suddenly became invigorated.

"Speaking of which, what did he say to Nobuko Nagato......" Hattori Heiji pondered when he recalled this.

The whole case, including the family relationship of the Nagato family, which is a bit of an ethical drama style, has been very clear to him, and this is his only confusion.

With Hattori's understanding, it is difficult to reason with a woman like her, who has already faced strangers with a snarky side.

"Well, according to what you heard, Nobuko Nagato's biggest problem should be more of her own emotional frustration than the family power struggle, right?" As Conan said this, his mind couldn't help but diverge in a not-so-good direction.

Could it be something that can help her force her lover to divorce so that she can marry her, or what kind of private gossip from the top of the company......

He's not psychologically dark, and it's hard for people to think about the good things with the style of wise goro.

"Oh, I did hear about that." Tang Ze betrayed easily, "He told Nagato Nobuko that she recognized the wrong person, and it was not her current lover who helped her out of the siege and confessed to her. ”

"Huh?" Conan, who heard a huge amount of information from this short sentence, and Hattori Heiji made a shocking voice in unison.

"Well, it's not so much that she's plotting for the family's property, it's better to say that she's jealous of her younger siblings' love is relatively smooth, especially Hinata Yuki." Tang Ze shrugged, "After all, she also wants to 'marry' the hero who saved her." ”

Hattori Heiji and Conan, who probably guessed how many bloody stories there were in the middle: "......"

The two of them looked at each other again, and as they looked at each other, they both felt the same emotion from each other's gaze.

"The detective accepts the commission, the focus is to satisfy the client, as for the content of the commission, is it necessary to strictly follow the content of the commission......" Before leaving the Nagato house, Akechi Goro smiled toothily at the doubts of the two of them, "This is called, customer service." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Wise guy, you're going back to Tokyo, right?"

Tang Ze, who was eating breakfast, made a move, and slowly put down the milk in his hand: "It should be, he doesn't need to inform me of his itinerary...... Why do you ask this? ”

Tang Ze said as he observed Hattori Heiji's expression, and secretly alerted himself in his heart.

What's the matter, is it that he always stays with Hoshikawa Hui in this operation, which makes people suspect that Tang Ze and Awise have another connection?

"Oh, just go back." When Hattori Heiji heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then cleared his throat, leaned closer, and whispered, "You one, the application to leave Tokyo...... If I change my destination, do I need to prepare something else? ”

"This is ......" Tang Ze, who didn't pay much attention to the application, recalled for a moment, and said in the future, "Yes, no, the application is not specifically indicated." ”

He doesn't leave Tokyo very often, so when he needs it, please ask Kazami Yuya to stamp it.

In order to reduce his workload, Kazami Yu also decisively prepared a batch of documents with vague wording and vague scope, and he could cope with the past when he used them, so that Tang Ze could take them by himself.

"Why are you asking me to go somewhere else?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows and re-grasped the breach in the bag of milk, "So leisurely? Aren't detectives busy? ”

"Ha, I'm not a detective like Uncle Maori, I mainly help the police when there is a crime, okay, and occasionally help people find cats and dogs or something, what's there to do?" Hattori Heiji buttoned the baseball cap to his head, explained helplessly, and finally protested, "Did that guy Kudo be busier than me before he got smaller?" ”

"How do I know, I haven't transferred to another school at that time, but judging from Lan's description, his absence from school because of the case is already to the extent that the teacher is too lazy to ask, so there are not many people who have questions when he uses the reason of the case to handle the suspension." Tang Ze spread his hands, completely disagreeing with his self-evaluation.

Regarding the situation of this group of young detectives solving the case, what Tang Ze remembers vividly is the case of Nanatsuki Koshisui.

Because a variety show was fabricated to gather multiple detectives, in the self-introduction stage, everyone enthusiastically reported their homes, and the result was that after incomplete statistics, the four detectives solved 300-500 cases per person, and it is not enough to talk about Edogawa Conan.

In other words, the five detectives who were present that day alone had more than 2,000 cases...... White Horse has not yet reported the number of participants in the UK.

That's a bunch of high school students, you can see it......

"What do you say......" Thinking back to his attendance, Hattori Heiji, who immediately lost his position, laughed dryly twice, and quickly changed the subject, "Hey, I really want to tell you to go somewhere else." Is it too late for you to apply to stay in Osaka for a few more days? ”

"You're going to tell me to go to Osaka?" Tang Ze tilted his head and glanced over his shoulder at the other end of the hallway.

Well...... Kogoro Mori, Conan, Mori Ran, and even Hattori Heizou......

It seems that there is no shortage of any.

"yes, isn't that just right? I guess my dad will invite that uncle later. Laughing twice, knowing that his turn was a little sudden, Hattori Heiji adjusted the angle of the hat on his head, "Well, because something happened suddenly, I asked my father to come over according to Kudo's request, and the case he was actually pursuing in his hand was not over yet." ”

Osaka is not close to Yokohama, and if it weren't for his exaggeration of the Nagato family's problems and his insistence, Hattori Heizou might not have been willing to come out of the way.

However, such a big situation will happen, it is still beyond his expectations, but fortunately, the ending is not bad.

"That's right." Tang Ze nodded, "So you guys are too tricky to solve the case, are you here to move the rescue soldiers?" ”

Tang Ze knows how to stimulate people, and he jumped up in one sentence: "Don't talk nonsense!" I just thought the opportunity was right and wanted to invite you to play. ”

"Really? Isn't it to find Kudo to do something to compete? Tang Ze's face was already full of teasing smiles, but he still said it deliberately.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You're making fun of me. Hattori Heiji, who realized that he had been amused, looked at Conan for a moment with a bright smile, and then turned his head to look at Conan, who was standing in front of Nagato Hidetomi with a bright smile, and then turned his head to look at Tang Ze, who was also smiling.

The case of twenty years ago came to light, and the depressed Nagato Hidetomi finally told the secret, and Hinata Yuki, who had experienced life and death, now cherishes this relationship very much.

Nagato Bright plotted to seize the family property, the crime of embezzlement of public funds has been determined, and his marriage with Nagato Yasue has come to an end, and the scene of his confession has also spread on the Internet at high speed with the glorious image of Akechi Goro in front of the camera.

Even if this crime didn't keep him in prison for long, the angry family members like Hinata Yuki, full of pain and murderous intent, would not be able to forget him so easily.

Although a large part of the credit for the end of the incident was attributed to Akechi, Kudo's purpose for coming here was achieved.

Now that everyone is immersed in the joy of a happy ending, his anxiety is somewhat unpleasant.

After hesitating for a moment, he said slowly: "Because I have a feeling that it is difficult to express clearly. Life is impermanent, and even if it's business as usual today, who knows what will happen tomorrow? ”

"Huh?" Seeing them muttering together, Conan, who was curious to get to the side, heard such a sentence as soon as he came, and couldn't help but be stunned, "What does this mean?" ”

"Hey! Scared me. Startled by the cold voice on his legs, Hattori Heiji looked down at Conan's confused face and rolled his eyes, "It's nothing, it's just a strange feeling." ”

"You don't look like a person who can think about such philosophical questions......" Tang Ze tilted his head and looked him up and down, secretly determining the general facts of the case in his heart.

"Mainly, I had a strange dream." Hattori touched the baseball cap he was wearing backwards, "Isn't that a bit superstitious?" ”

"Dreams, what kind of dreams?" Conan was stunned, and suddenly remembered the strange dream he had in Izu a long time ago.

The bright moon hanging high tore open the cracked night sky, and the man who fell from the sky ......

This seems to be an inexplicable and illogical picture, but it seems to have a strange foreshadowing hidden in it.

Tokio Ehara, the organizer of Izu's mysterious tour, disappeared mysteriously, and the attacker who threw him down and the Night Baron virus were also gone, and at the end of the whole case, they tracked down Noah's Ark, and indeed discovered and stopped the organization's conspiracy.

However, at some point, the dream flashed back in his mind fragments, as if something accompanied the dream and parasitized it in the depths of his consciousness.

At this moment, as soon as he heard Hattori Heiji mention the key word strange dreams, he recalled that scene almost instantly.

Hattori Heiji turned around, leaned against the wall, raised his head and recalled: "I dreamed that you were chasing someone, running in the dark, and just as you were about to arrest the murderer, suddenly, the other party pulled out a knife with his backhand. ”

Hearing his description, the corners of Conan's mouth, which was originally a little serious, twitched: "Then, then it won't be bloody, 'the detective died heroically in the pursuit of justice' or something like that." ”

What kind of clichΓ© bridge, even if a detective writer writes like this now, it won't sell, right?

"Even if it's a dream, it's a bit too clichΓ©......" Hattori Heiji laughed twice, and his expression sank again, "Then, just as the tip of the knife was about to stab you, someone in the darkness fired a shot at the murderer, and the murderer fell down screaming. ”

"Have you been saved? It's even worse. The corners of Conan's mouth twitched a little more.

And according to this description, among the people he knows, there are people who have guns and will not hesitate to shoot...... There seems to be only ......

If he was saved by that kind of guy, he would definitely not be convinced.

"No, he shot and killed the murderer, turned the muzzle, shot you, and then killed Uncle Maori who followed closely......" To his surprise, Heiji Hattori gave a completely different answer than he expected, "It seems that it is not only you, the gunshots have been ringing, and I have been seeing people fall to the ground......"

"And then?" Hearing his description, Tang Ze also turned serious.

In the original plot, this dialogue would have taken place when Conan and the others arrived in Osaka.

And in the second half of the case, his dream came true.

However, it would be too ...... to follow his version as it is to be fulfilled

"Then I felt like I had been shot too, and then I woke up." Hattori exhaled and lifted the brim of his hat with a depressed face, "What a strange dream." ”

A gunman from the shadows, indiscriminately killing everyone present, sounds like some strange terrorist attack fantasy.

But because there were a few familiar faces involved in the dream, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but feel uneasy about it, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he received a call from Kudo, asking him to help contact the Nagato family......

He didn't hesitate for long, he called his father softly, contacted Nagato Michizo as quickly as possible, and then ran over himself.

"You dreamed of a shooting in the dark and felt uneasy, so you had to invite us to Osaka?" Conan shook his head and asked logically, "Then for the sake of your dream not to come true, shouldn't you stay away, don't run into us, it's not easy to come true, right?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Huh? Hattori Heiji, who hadn't thought about this direction at all, was stunned for two seconds.

"Yes, generally speaking, prophecy happens as soon as you want to break it. If you don't come to us directly, won't it trigger the annihilation? Tang Ze nodded approvingly.

The three high school students looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces were all wonderful.

"Three little detectives, I haven't officially thanked you yet. I have heard from Xiuchen that your efforts are no less than those of the Wise King. Hinata Yuki, who came over, interrupted the conversation between the three of them, who were slightly mentally retarded, "I'm sorry, but Chairman Michi-san is a little cold to you because of his excitement. ”

The surprise that his son was still alive, coupled with the sadness of hearing the news of the death of his first love through the mouth of Akechi Goro, the three elders of Nagato Road burst into tears, pulling Akechi Goro to cry for a while, and he didn't have time to care about other people.

Hinata Yuki, who had already identified himself as a member of the Nagato family, took the initiative to take on the responsibility of hospitality, greeting them politely one by one before they left.

"Where, where, there is no wisdom to help finish it, and the problem of Nagato Bright is not so easy to solve." Hattori Heiji hurriedly said modestly.

"Uh, yes, we've only done some minor work." From her title of "three detectives", Conan, who found that she was also counted, hurriedly waved her hand.

Hinata accepted the two of them with a smile and looked at the last person with a smile.

"You're exaggerating, I'm not a detective." Tang Ze shrugged his shoulders and smiled meaningfully.

Looking at Tang Ze's face, Hinata Yuki's eyes flickered slightly.

She didn't tell anyone about the teaser letter.

After the chaotic scene ended, she also made a special trip to Tang Ze to test it, but she got the answer of "Eh, yes, I've been following Zhizhijun to do theater decoration".

She wasn't sure if this was Tang Ze's excuse for not wanting to reveal his identity or if it was true, the monster thieves in the heart seemed to be really good at disguising their identities and being elusive......

Is that the real Tang Ze, or has someone borrowed his identity to talk to him?

"Thank you," in the end, Hinata didn't say anything, just bowed deeply, "I heard Mr. Hattori say that you are going to Osaka next, so I wish you all a smooth journey and a happy journey." ”

"Where, Where, ......"

After another round of unembarrassed greetings, Hinata Yukime saw them meet with Mori Kogoro and the others, turned his head, and glanced at Nagato Hideto, who was waiting for her on the steps.

Her lover has returned, and her enemy has been caught.

Hidechen untied the knot in his heart, and was finally willing to undergo surgery to repair the horrific scars on his face, and seemed to have the desire to reconnect with society......

Everything is going in a good direction, and that's enough.

Hinata smiled and walked inside, but the corner of his eye suddenly caught a bright red.

It was a black box, with a red trimmed ribbon tied into a neat cross, like a red and black checkered pattern, resting quietly on the low table where the vase was placed.

Hinata Yuki, who had an association with the color for the first time, paused, but still stretched out his hand and picked it up and opened it.

In the box, a brand-new fountain pen was pinned to the bright red flannel.

The moist lacquer surface, the smooth barrel, and the gold pen without a trace of scratches lie quietly surrounded by red cloth, with a sense of grace and luxury.

A fountain pen she knew all too well.

Hinata lowered her head in shock and glanced at the old pen she had in her pocket.

When she grew up, she didn't want to destroy her parents' only relic, so she tried to find the same pen, but she never found any news.

Last night, after Nagato Michizo solved her doubts, she also figured out the reason, this is a gift from President Michizo to her mother back then, it is a custom-made fountain pen, unique, the only one in the world.

So this, this is......

She shuddered and pulled the pen out, and the flannel slackened, revealing a picture of the cloth underneath.

There were three photographs, all of which were yellowed and discolored, and they didn't look like the originals, but like someone had scanned them and reprinted them.

The first one is the young Nagato Hidetomi holding the thin Hinata Yuki in his arms, staggering out of the charred door step by step.

The second one, but it's a family photo, a gentle and beautiful woman snuggled up to a tall man with a bookish face, holding a little girl in her arms - it was Hinata Yuki when she was a child.

The last ......

Hinata shook her hand and pulled it out.

This is a scenario that would never have been possible in reality.

Nagato Hidetomi, whose face is intact, is dressed in a suit and hugs Hinata Yuki, who is wearing a wedding dress, and their parents are standing beside the newlyweds, a warm and happy scene.

Hinata Yuki's eyes flashed with tears, and she couldn't help but look at the box in her hand again.

"The dream of a butterfly is a small gift for those who are moving towards happiness.

Thank you for your loyal silence.
