"You called Uncle Otaki to pick up people, that's too troublesome."

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay, Heye is here to ask me."

"You're really, always like to dictate to the police......"

"I'm sorry to say me, don't you yourself also use a police car to take people on a tour?"

"Okay, okay, don't argue with the two of you......"

Watching the three kids who had been muttering all the way get out of the car and meet with Officer Otaki and others who came to pick them up in a spacious SUV, Yusuke Sakata let go of his grip on the steering wheel and exhaled.

It was only at this time that he noticed that a layer of fine sweat had appeared in his palms.

In the short journey from the library to the police station, in the midst of the incomprehensible exchange of three people, he endured great mental pressure, until he finally relaxed completely.

After that, the job is much simpler, just wait for Hattori Heiji to come out, provide yourself with proof of the itinerary, and then rush to the house of the village councilor......

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

He had just relaxed for a moment when there was a regular knock on the window.

Yusuke Sakata turned his head and met a pair of crimson eyes.

The eyes were so close that they were almost flat against his window, at the height of his eyes, and a strange flowing luster swirled in them, like a pair of small swirls.

Yusuke Sakata couldn't help but feel frightened, if he hadn't been in gear and put down the handbrake, he might have stepped on the accelerator in a panic.

"Mr. Sakata, please open the door." The teenager who almost put his face on the car glass laughed, "You're about to be caught, hurry up." ”

His voice is muffled and indistinct through the laminated glass, and people can't help but feel like they have become an ornamental fish in a fish tank.

Yusuke Sakata was startled, and under the gaze of those eyes, he instinctively complied with his request and pressed the button to unlock the lock.

"Thank you."

In the next moment, there was a sound of the door closing in the back seat, the mechanical structure turned and closed again, and the white-haired boy sat down in the back seat.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Yusuke Sakata. You may or may not have heard of me, but it doesn't matter. Slowly arranging his scarf, Tang Ze smiled, "Your plan has been discovered, and it may be difficult to continue to complete your revenge." ”

Yusuke Sakata turned his head, wanting to take a serious look at this guy who had mixed up with the car for some reason, but saw that the other party raised his hand and motioned for him to observe his surroundings first.

Officer Otaki, who was talking to Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama, was getting closer to the car the more he talked.

Not far away, at the police station, where the police car was parked, several police officers were hovering beside several cars.

The main entrance of the police station, the electric fence gate, is closing little by little......

This is not a normal phenomenon, it can only say one thing.

They were trying to surround him while he was still sitting in the car, taking advantage of the gap in their own alertness.

"Let's go, Officer Sakata." Without the consciousness of an uninvited guest at all, Tang Ze raised his leg and lay down directly in the back of the car, his tone was still so leisurely, "Did you use this car to transport Anye and people to Shinsaibashi?" The car was well chosen, and it was indeed spacious. ”

Yusuke Sakata snorted, gritted his teeth, took out all his driving experience, completed the steps of starting as quickly as possible, kicked the accelerator, and sprinted towards the entrance of the police station with all his strength.

"He's running away!"

"Damn, the barricades haven't had time to put ...... Close the door, close the door quickly! ”

"Catch up, Uncle Otaki!"

With his movements, the originally quiet police station suddenly exploded, and a group of policemen rushed out in a noisy, but the car that had completed the acceleration drove out of the main entrance of the police station and rushed out along the main road.

Sakata, whose heart was beating violently, observed all the movements through the rearview mirror, and saw Tang Ze lying in the back row, gritting his teeth: "Who are you and what is your purpose?" ”

This guy who suddenly appeared, with quick and agile movements, and extremely weird, did not attract the attention of others.

Now, the other party is already lying down peacefully in the back seat, no matter how the people chasing behind look at it, I am afraid that they will not realize the existence of another person in his car.

"Does it matter who I am? The important thing is you, Mr. Murderer, who is about to be caught. Don't think about taking the opportunity to find the position of the township councilor, the moment you are exposed, the person who is still alive in the group photo will become the object of protection, and it is impossible to kill him. Tang Zeshi, who really led to this situation, said, and crossed one leg, "So you only have the last choice, and that is my purpose." Where did you hide Kiichiro Numabuchi? Trouble leads the way. ”

"Hey, can't you put us down first and then chase people?!" With a flick of the vehicle's tail, the distant mountains and leaves almost fell into a ball, and shouted while grabbing the seat backs in front of them.

"It's too late, this guy is running away so fast!" Otaki, who was sitting in the driver's seat, directly took out the siren and stretched out his hand to stick it on the roof of the car, "I'm sorry everyone, the situation is urgent." Peaceful! Is it arranged on the part of the Township Councillor? ”

"Well, the officers have found and taken away Sotaro Goji. There's no way he's going to get there. Grabbing the cushion of his car seat, Hattori with his head poked into the front row and replied firmly.

"He's driving so fast, isn't this guy a cop?" Reaching out and tugging on the armrest in the car to maintain his balance, Mori Kogoro looked at the speeding car in front of him and couldn't help but say, "If you don't say it, I'll think he's a race car driver!" ”

"His father, Tetsuji Inaba, is a very famous driving school instructor, and his driving skills are very well trained, which is also a normal thing." Under Tang Ze's ruthless spoilers, Heiji Hattori, who basically cleared up the cause and effect, instinctively reasoned, "There must have been something wrong with the car accident back then, and Sakata can use his identity as a police officer to quickly approach these victims without causing others to question." Damn it. ”

The police, who were supposed to stand in front, uphold justice and protect others, became the best protection for the murderer......

Does this guy remember the oath he swore to the cherry blossom badge?

"Compared to these, Tang Ze, Tang Ze is still in the police station!" Dragged by Conan, who was shaking around, Maoriran shouted.

At this time, Hattori Heiji, who realized that there was no one missing, paused, and turned his head to look: "Huh? How did he get to the police station? ”

"Didn't he just say he was going to the bathroom?" Maolilan felt helpless.

When this group of detectives was immersed in the case, they were so distracted and courageous that she remembered a lot of moments when she was shopping and shopping, and the guy next to her threw his bag to her side and sprinted towards the case.

It's really, exactly the same......

"How is this time ...... Forget it, it's better to stay in the police station, at least it's safe. I can't remember how I remembered, and there was still such a paragraph, and Hattori Heiji frowned.

He didn't expect that as the de facto first detective of this case, Tang Ze would be able to suddenly slip away at the critical moment of the arrest......

Officer Otaki, who didn't know what they were discussing, followed the car in front of him, observed the other party's movements, and frowned: "This is not the way to the village division's house." Sakata: Where is he going? ”

"Maybe I sensed that the matter was revealed and was ready to take the opportunity to escape. Be careful not to lose it! ”

“…… What kind of strange ritual is this? ”

Curacao, who walked back, watched Akechi Goro put the opened jar in front of Numabuchi Keichiro, and was very confused.

The repetition of the chanting just now may have something to do with the other party's special ability, although the scene is really weird, but she can still barely convince herself.

But to release fireflies to the guy who is destined to die......

Besides, where did he get it from? What exactly was in his suitcase?

Hoshikawa Hui smiled, watching the glowing insects fly up in the dim and old, small space that smelled of rotten wood, the glowing green light slightly reflected the gray air around them, and did not explain anything.

Regardless of whether Jiichiro Numabuchi is a pitiful or hateful fellow, people are dying, and some things are a gesture anyway, but it is not as good as a wish.

Of course, this is also what Tang Ze meant.

Moreover, his spirit had been destroyed by the interference device, and he could not understand it at all...... Well? Turning his head to glance, Curacao paused.

Jiichiro Numabuchi, who had a stupid expression and should have lost his reaction to the outside world a long time ago, looked at the fireflies in front of him, and miraculously, suddenly raised his hand.

Naturally, his sluggish movements could not catch the flying insects, and the streamers just swiped past his dirty hands, and soon flew out of his reach.

Numabuchi Keichiro still maintained this movement, staring blankly at the faint fluorescent light, and had no other reaction.

Curacao looked at Akechigoro's side face in shock.

His memory and spirit should have been destroyed by the violent impact, and he could only retain some instinctive reactions to survive.

How did Kumel do it, awakening the only sanity of the guy in this state......

"I'm leaving." After completing the last step, Hoshikawa Teru cleaned the dust off his gloves and stood up, "Those policemen and detectives, it is estimated that they will be found in a short time." Don't forget that you agreed to my request. ”

“…… Naturally, I won't forget. Curacao's eyes darkened, and he took a step back, hiding deeper into the darkness.

If Akechi Goro asks her to kill for him, she will hesitate to say yes or not, and she will also worry about whether it will conflict with Rum's request.

But some can't constitute a kill, at most a few needle-eye anesthetic bombs for these guys, and she doesn't have any burden in her heart.

"That's good." Before stepping out of the cramped attic of the wooden house, Teru Hoshikawa raised his hand and threw a box at her.

Curacao, who wanted to dodge it, took advantage of the faint light of the fireflies to see what was thrown at him, and couldn't help but reach out and catch it.

It was a transparent plastic box, and two oval white pills collided with each other in it, making a small noise.

"The antidote to KA03 has an effect on all KA drugs. I don't need it, you can decide for yourself. ”

By the time she turned her head again, Hoshikawa Teru, with a steady pace, had already strode away, out of the dimly lit wooden house filled with musty smell and turbidity, and into the crisp afternoon sunshine in the mountains.

Walking forward without looking back, Hoshikawa Hui recalled the environment just now, and his mood was a little subtle and strange.

This kind of dark space with no people, this kind of isolation, where there will be no second person to find, he should be very resistant.

Shigehiko Swallow is not a good person to get along with, and the affinity he disguises on the outside is as close to his own as the image gap between Teru Hoshikawa and Akechi Goro.

So whenever he leaves the public eye, his wife and father-in-law who have high requirements for him, his tyrannical nature will pour out like a floodgate.

And the swallowing Swallower, the child who could not see the light, was like an insignificant accessory to him, and even if he killed him, no third person would notice.

Hungry and cold, the wounds on his body were painful, and being locked in a small space that was dark and could not even feel the loss of time became the most terrifying nightmare for Hoshikawa Teru.

But now, standing in such a cell, he is so emotionally stable and his mind is clear......

Has everything in the past really been forgotten by him? Teru Hoshikawa didn't dare to assert.

Just looking at his experience during this time, it seems that he has once again fallen into darkness, lost his identity, and become a shadow of others.

But now, he is him, Hoshikawa is Hoshikawa Teru, any shackles imposed on him can no longer restrain his freedom, and every decision he makes is a choice of his own will.

Hooking the corners of his mouth, the golden light in Xingchuan Hui's eyes lit up again, and he stepped out towards the shadow of the tree that covered the sky.

willingly, disappearing into the darkness.

————

Tang Ze, who was lying flat in the back row of Yusuke Sakata's car with his eyes closed, opened his eyes wide when he heard the familiar sound in his ears.

【rank up！ Rank 2】

[Acquired ability: Patience lv2 (Moderate decrease in pain perception)]

[Born in the dark, grew up in the dark, destined to have no chance with the light, and the life that will be quietly annihilated in the darkness, has moved forward again and again, and has gone in a new direction.

You don't think it's your credit, and you're not even sure if he's following you or some kind of imaginary self and future.

But the darkness that has been illuminated has revealed its true appearance...... Akira means light.

A crescent moon rose in the deepest darkness. 】

Just after Leon's recitation-like subdued voice ended, the voice of Hoshikawa Hui rang out on the other end of the headphones, which had been quiet for a long time.

"My mission is complete, leader."

His voice sounded very light, perhaps because the play was finally over, and it was a little more relaxed than before.

Glancing at the back of Yusuke Sakata's sweaty head, Tang Ze, who was temporarily inconvenient to speak directly, took out his mobile phone and began to send messages.

"Don't worry, I've entered the world of cognition, and Curacao won't find me. Sister Akemi's side has already been done, right, how long will it take you to arrive? ”

Doesn't that sound like a change in this state? Why did the good end suddenly break down?

Tang Ze stared at his list of teammates for a moment, but couldn't get an answer, so he had to shake his head.

Forget it, maybe it was because I saw the beautiful scenery of nature and suddenly realized it while walking...... The coop thing, you don't have to be so clear.

replied with a "right away", looking at the vehicles that had already driven into the rugged mountain road, Tang Ze finally rolled over from the back row and put his head in the front row.

"I'm sorry, officer. Your identity has been revealed, and it is impossible to make the last enemy pay. Taking out the low, mysterious tone that jokers usually use, Tang Ze said slowly, "Will you feel unwilling to fall short, sir?" ”

“…… I know who you are, you're the one who is active in Tokyo, the monster thief of the heart. Yusuke Sakata, who was staring ahead, was on the road he had already made many round-trips, and his tone was completely calm, "You came to Osaka with Detective Maori?" ”

If it weren't for the fact that this guy's main active area is in Kanto, he would have thought of it a long time ago.

A strange thief who was born out of nowhere, acts his own way, and likes to chase after detectives and make bigger news......

He couldn't think of any other conspicuous white hair around him than this guy.

"It seems that my efforts during this period of time are not in vain?" With a chuckle twice, Tang Ze quickly got to the point, "The case committed by Jiichiro Numabuchi is of a bad nature and has a great impact, he is a murderer who is destined to not survive, and after being arrested, there is only one way to die. The revenge you really haven't completed yet, only Sotaro Goji is left. How about it, do you want to make up for this regret? ”

"What, can you help me kill that bastard?" With a cold snort, Yusuke Sakata asked unpleasantly.

"Of course not, a thief wouldn't do such an indecent thing. However, if you just want to make the other party ruined, lose your current status, and pay the price for what you have done...... There's still a way to do that. As if magical, Tang Ze stretched out his hand that was clenched into a fist, and then opened it all at once.

A silver USB flash drive hanging from the pendant fell, swaying with the bumps of the vehicle, like a pendant on the car.

"It's been 20 years since your father's case, and the prosecution period has long passed, but do you think that the guy who can do such a thing and not pay the price for it will still be able to be a good person who abides by the law in the next 20 years? There are many cases that have not passed the prosecution period. ”

After laughing twice, Tang Ze said very experiencedly: "Generally speaking, if a person does not pay any price after incurring a life lawsuit, this kind of escape from responsibility will make them think very highly of themselves, despise the law, and it is only a matter of time before they bend the law for bribes." You're still too eager, officer, as a police officer, you should have done better. Believe in the judiciary and believe in the profession of which you are proud......

"However, there is no need to say such cool words until now. Here's the evidence that Sotaro Goji can lose everything, and you have the leverage to vindicate your father to the public. How, do you want to try the Monster Thief solution? ”
