Chapter 526: Curacao and Kumel

"Well, the first deceased, Hidetoshi Nagao, is the secretary of the Township Councillor......"

Several people gathered in front of the television to watch the videotape.

In the footage, the vehicles surrounded by reporters and protesting citizens are struggling to move forward in the crowd.

Even though the windows on all four sides were tightly raised, the camera and microphone were still firmly on the side of the car, trying to capture all the details of the expression of Sotaro Goji, who was sitting in the back seat with a black face.

A sweaty man stood by the car, constantly trying to push the reporters who had squeezed forward, shouting repetitive words as the crowd pushed and squeezed.

Hattori Heiji pondered: "Councilor Xiangji blamed the secretary for all the trouble...... Nagao Hidetoshi should have resigned in this incident and left the political arena. ”

In this way, Nagao Hidetoshi can be regarded as having mastered some of his handles, which sounds even more suspicious. It seems necessary to inquire with the Township Councillor. Kogoro Mori crossed his arms, less hopeful about the prospects of this case, "This guy is notoriously annoying the police, and he probably won't cooperate." ”

"Well, the department has already found a senior with old seniors to go to the township councillor." Yusuke Sakata, who was standing behind them, quietly looked at the noisy and chaotic crowd on the screen, and Sotaro Goji, who was sitting in the back row with a blank face, indifferent under the light of the flash, and added.

"In that case, let's go over and have a look." Hattori Heiji pulled the zipper of his jacket and proposed.

"Hey, wouldn't it be better to leave this kind of thing to the police to investigate first?" Mori Kogoro sniffed the suit on his body that could still smell the aroma of barbecue, and sighed, "He said that he invited us to travel, but as a result, it became a case investigation again......"

"It's because we entertain you to travel that you need to pay special attention to it." Turning the baseball cap he was wearing backwards, Hattori Heiji smiled confidently, "How can you let go of the hateful murderer who ruined your pleasant trip?" ”

Mori Kogoro watched him beckon to Yusuke Sakata to leave, and was hesitating whether he should follow him to take a look, when he saw Tang Ze and Conan automatically and consciously follow, and couldn't help but say out loud: "It's okay if he goes, his father is the boss of the Osaka police, what are you two doing?" ”

"Hmm......" Tang Ze glanced at Conan, who was tugging at his trouser leg and pretending to be transparent, thought for a moment and said, "This case may be related to my case, I want to go over and take a look." ”

Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, carefully observing Tang Ze's serious face, not at all like a joke's expression, and slowly became serious.

He turned his head again, glanced at the immobile Xiangji Sotaro in the video, and slowly understood what Tang Ze meant.

"Conan, just lend me a moment." Tang Ze said and lifted Conan, who was trying to hide behind him, and easily found a suitable reason, "Having a child is a better cover, and there are some things that I may not be convenient to ask." ”

"However, is it really okay to take a child to investigate......" Yuanshan and Ye hesitantly looked at Conan, whose face was stiff in Tang Ze's hand, only to feel that he looked stupid and stupid, and he was not very clever, "Otherwise, I still ......"

"No need, no need, Heye, you take them to my house first and wait for me." Hattori Heiji was thrilled for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand.

That strange dream was still circling in his mind from time to time, and he didn't want this kind of picture to have a scene with Ye......

"Okay, did you bring the amulet?"

"Bring it, don't worry about me, I'll see you later."

Taking advantage of the fact that this pair of childhood sweethearts were flirting with each other, Tang Ze mentioned Conan, tiptoed out of the door, and took the first step to keep up with Yusuke Sakata's pace and walked towards his car.

Yusuke Sakata, who had already driven the car to the door, looked at Tang Ze's face in disbelief and brainstormed.

What does that mean, what does it mean that this case has something to do with his case?

What case, what relationship, who, how did he, the murderer, not know?!

Could it be that it has something to do with the Township Councillor? Oh, that guy is evil, maybe it's possible......

Tang Ze met his surprised and inexplicable gaze, knowing that the emotions in his heart were fluctuating at the moment, so he smiled implicitly: "I'm sorry for you, Officer Sakata." ”

Their actions are covered by you, come on, kill six big brothers!

β€”β€”β€”β€”

"The congestion on the roads in Shinsaibashi is still increasing, so didn't you send people to evacuate the scene?"

"Attention 2nd Squadron, please investigate the following license plate information......"

"It can rain at any time, pay attention to the traffic lights......"

The woman sitting outside the cafΓ© stirred her coffee, constantly dialing the channels of the receiver in her pocket, and quietly listening to the jumble of sounds.

The silver spoon in her hand rotated at a uniform speed, giving a mechanical feel to what should have been a very leisurely and elegant movement.

The conspicuous silver hair was neatly tied up and coiled in the cover of the hat, and after a few strands of color were slightly dyed on the exposed bangs, her appearance characteristics were very different from ordinary people, and she became just an ordinary pursuit of trends and fashion.

Pulling out the spoon and seeing his image through the reflection on it, Curacao blinked.

Who exactly Kumel is, she has never been in contact with, so naturally she is not clear, and she is not the type who likes to speculate from the blunt words of others.

But he did give her some inspiration, such as how to use clothing to disguise her identity as much as possible.

She hadn't learned this before, and no one had taught her, and it was the information that Rum had given her that gave her some insight into Kumail's state of mission.

He is a powerful young man, at his age, he can crawl out of the darkness little by little, and strive for the maximum freedom for himself, and she admires and envies him a little when he is free and the emotions in his brain are extraordinarily active.

Could it be that she likes this kind of life? They just don't have a choice.

The organization, and the real power and control it represents, is something that Curacao has lost its perception.

Nowadays, thinking about these things doesn't change anything, and the more you think about it, the more painful it becomes, and it's easy to be immersed in a state of high concentration of tasks.

The occasional gags and small talk of the police officers in the communication channel did not attract her attention, and she only cared about the key words that might be related to the objectives of the mission.

At that moment, a shadow slowly approached.

The afternoon sun shrouded her through the obscured clouds.

Curacao was startled, reached for the small pistol in his cuff with one hand, and jerked his head back to enter a state of complete alert.

She has always been extremely alert, and the person who can approach her quietly cannot be a simple person.

Then she saw a somewhat familiar face, a face that she had seen a lot in her archives lately.

Akechi Goro.

Xingchuan, who was standing beside her and looking down at her condescendingly, silently observed this strange woman, and made some assessments of Tang Ze's evaluation in his heart.

Really, he took advantage of some of the characteristics of his mask, using the shadows of the building to reduce the sense of presence, and sure enough, she was like an alarmed cat, her back was about to arch.

However, he resolutely refused to admit that he was like this when he first met Tang Ze.

Slander, outright slander.

Complaining like this in his heart, Hoshikawa quickly adjusted his facial expression, looked at her with eyes that emitted a golden shimmer, and showed a gentle smile.

Instead of wearing the khaki suit that looked like permanent skin, he wore a dark sweatshirt with a hood pulled low to cover almost half of his face.

It also covered the headphones in one of his ears.

"You're looking for 'Jiichiro Numabuchi', aren't you?" Skillfully taking out the posture of Akechigoro, Hoshikawa Teru said in a soft tone, "Are you interested in adding me one?" ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Mr. Policeman! Hurry up and protect me, come and save me! ”

The woman's shrill scream was very penetrating, not only Hattori Heiji in the passenger seat, but also Karasawa and Conan in the back seat could hear Yusuke Sakata's voice on the phone clearly.

"Someone is going to kill me, help, I'm going to die if I go on like this, I'm going to die!"

"Calm down, Ms. Okazaki, stay calm, have you been physically threatened, is there a suspicious person near you?" Yusuke Sakata frowned and asked solemnly.

"I don't know, I don't know! I'm going crazy, help me, I can tell you everything I used to do, I'll tell you everything! Save me! ”

The female voice, which had lost control hysterically, echoed in the small space of the vehicle, making the expressions of the two detectives serious and vigilant.

This woman, who fled from the scene in an emergency, is the most likely clue to find the outcome, and if she is also killed immediately after the third deceased, it will not be so simple to find the murderer's tail again.

"We'll be there soon, please lock the door and don't let anyone in!" Yusuke Sakata solemnly ordered.

"It's not good, the Xidu apartment has passed, tsk, there are too many one-way lines here......"

"What should I do, Midosuji is so crowded with cars here, it's hard to get around there for a while."

"Then stop now, let's run straight over!"

"Hey! Peaceful! ”

Yusuke Sakata, who was about to stop, shouted twice, and saw the co-pilot and the rear door open together, and the two figures rushed out like arrows, past the car parked in place, and ran in the direction of the Nishito apartment.

Yusuke Sakata, who breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly remembered something and turned his head to look at the back row.

The mood was very stable throughout the whole process, and Tang Ze, who had not participated in their discussion, put down the mobile phone in his hand like a slow half-beat, raised his head, and looked at Yusuke Sakata in the driver's seat for a few seconds.

Even that elementary school student followed, how could this guy ......?

It's troublesome, the main way he wants to fight the time difference is the vehicle, if this guy doesn't go down all the time, wouldn't it be exposed?!

Yusuke Sakata deliberately reminded him euphemistically, but he felt that he was still blocking it just now, and now he persuaded people to go and see it quickly, which was too deliberate.

Of course, Tang Ze knew what he was hinting at, blinked his eyes twice, and still looked at him suspiciously.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant for a while.

"Ah, it's not safe for Conan to follow a child." Seeing that Yusuke Sakata was starting to sweat on his head, Tang Zecai smiled, slowly opened the door on his side, and got out of the car.

Yusuke Sakata's tense back finally relaxed, and he nervously glanced down at the time.

He originally planned to only bring Hattori Heiji alone, Heiji's personality is relatively hot-blooded and reckless, and a person facing the threat of life is in danger, Heiji definitely doesn't have the time to pay too much attention to other details, and his technique will be easier to succeed.

Just after Tang Ze, who was unhurried, crossed two cars and stepped onto the sidewalk, the traffic light changed, and the congested lane finally began to move slowly.

Yusuke Sakata, who had punched out the direction, glanced in that direction with his peripheral vision, but saw that after a van truck drove by, Tang Ze's back could no longer be seen on the sidewalk, and I don't know if I finally remembered that it was impossible to catch up with the two boys without running.

This guy, why is he stunned, not very smart......

The strange confusion was quickly put behind Sakata, and he nervously sped up, and once again dialed the phone in his hand.

"Hey, is it Ms. Okazaki, I just contacted you, ...... Sakata of the Tojiri Agency"

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Tang Ze, who was disliked by Yusuke Sakata and reacted slowly, slowly set off in the direction of Xidu Apartment, pulled up his neckline, and whispered into the microphone inside: "Don't be silent and don't speak, you didn't really go to be her driver, talk to her a few clichΓ©s?" The wise riddler mentions that you've been trained too, and you ask her, 'Do you miss life in the organization?' or 'What do you think about a being like us?' and hint at the organization's experimental problems. ”

Teru Hoshikawa's hand on the steering wheel tightened sharply and took a breath.

It's a headache why he always has to be responsible for the parts of the wise identity that he is not good at.

Isn't it good for Tang Ze to let him deal with the tasks in the organization? That is what he is most familiar with, and it can also reduce some of the burden for Tang Ze.

After all, he's pretty good marksmanship now.

In his heart, Hoshikawa Hui still naturally followed Tang Ze's instructions and glanced at Curacao who was speechless with his afterglow.

"Life in the organization is not easy, is it? Curacao seniors. Pretending to be careless, he asked, "Especially people like us." ”

Curacao, who had been staring directly at the front windshield, heard what he said and slowly turned half his face.

She has a very delicate face, and her raised cheekbones make her look very different from that of Asians, and if it weren't for the lifeless eyes, her appearance would be very impressive.

"We're not the same anymore, Kumail." Curacao replied in a non-hesitating tone, "You've taken the antidote long enough that you're already completely yourself." ”

Bingo!

Teru Hoshikawa, who didn't say anything on his face, snapped his fingers in his heart.

Sure enough, Curacao was a low-level member similar to him, who had experienced the control of the organization for a long time, like a dead soldier.

It's just like he was fished out of the vast number of ordinary members by Tang Ze's divine stroke, and she has also become a different one because of her special ability.

"'Completely yourself' or something...... In this case, you can deceive yourself. Without using any skills, he sneered completely sincerely, and Hoshikawa shook his head, "Would it be better for the collar to change from one thing to another?" ”

If he hadn't encountered so many unexpected situations, then he might have been able to understand some of Curacao's mentality.

They are all products that have long been thrown into the crucible of the organization, and have been beaten into a different shape, and they have no hope of breaking free from the current situation.

A kindred man who seems to be freer than himself will be envied at this time.

That's why he really wanted to laugh, not at Curacao, but at himself.

Curacao heard his mocking laughter, but still did not arouse any emotion, and replied flatly: "You can at least work hard for yourself, and you can climb up with all your might." ”

The moment she saw Akechi Goro, she knew very well that this guy was a little different from herself, and the fire burning in his heart had never been extinguished.

Her whereabouts, the purpose of her mission, and the movements of her goals are not what Kumel should have, or has the power to know, now.

The fact that he was able to conceal the organization and figure out so many things speaks volumes about his attitude.

- It shouldn't be a liqueur, but a whiskey.

It was this that made her relax and accept the other party's proposal.

He didn't really become a rabid dog of the organization, but aimed his fangs at the viper of the organization at any time, and that was enough.

"The prisoners who can come out to let off steam, are still prisoners, and those privileges and privileges are just a kind of anesthetic." The curvature of the sneer on the corner of his mouth did not change, Hoshikawa Teru said.

What he says now is from the bottom of his heart, and he feels that it is simpler than asking him to play the side of Akechi Goro facing the public.

He is no longer the humble him, now he is working hard for himself, trying his best to climb up.

Towards the miraculous light that he once never dared to imagine.

"That's a lot better than it used to be. I envy you and admire you very much. Your boss is much harsher than mine. Curacao didn't feel any tingle from his taunts, on the contrary, the yearning and admiration were a little stronger.

It's a very negative attitude.,It sounds like a bit of a know-how-sheen.。

Tang Ze, who had finished listening to their conversation, rolled his eyes and proposed: "Bring a little information to the conditions of the awakening mask, the awakening itself requires extremely strong mental strength and state, and it is impossible for a person who is completely negative and numb to become a mask. I suspect she might know that. ”

After listening to Tang Ze's request on the other side of the headphones, Hoshikawa Hui quickly organized his language and said: "If you want to climb up, there will always be many difficulties, I am the lucky one among them, I never deny it, but you yourself know, Curacao senior. I'm special, not innate. ”

After saying this, he turned his head sideways to observe Curacao's reaction for a few seconds, hesitated for a moment, and cautiously repeated Tang Ze's words.

"Otherwise, why are you and Gin's seniors silver-haired?"
