"Is this common?" Tang Ze's answer was not going to give Hattori a flat order.

He subconsciously wanted to refute, but after thinking seriously for a while, he felt that he really couldn't give any examples that could be refuted.

"Of course it's very common." Tang Ze, who thought of many people for a while, smiled a little nostalgically, "Justice is not so easy to find." Those who died unexpectedly, who were forced to turn around because of an unjust life, and who were unwilling but helpless to these unsatisfactory children, chose this profession in order to give themselves an answer and find the possible truth...... This is also in line with everyone's expectations of the police. ”

"Will it be......" Hattori Heiji thought uncertainly, remembering his father's unsmiling serious face, and touched the outer edge of his baseball cap.

His father is the most standard police image in his mind, calm and calm, strong execution, and invisible, which is very in line with the expectations of the people, and the police department chief should look like.

and Ye's father, as well as the uncles he has been in contact with since childhood, no matter what their personality is, most of them are of this type, no matter how they think, they have nothing to do with bitterness and hatred, seeking justice, and the like.

Tang Ze shrugged his shoulders unexpectedly.

"You were born into a family of police officers, and you are used to the profession, and it is normal that you don't feel it. Not to mention anything else, the policeman you know best, your father, Mr. Hattori Heizou. You must have seen him in all kinds of work conditions, so why would he want to be a police officer? ”

Looking at Tang Ze's smile, Hattori Heiji's thinking knotted down, and he was really asked by Tang Ze.

Yes, his father, why did he choose such a profession?

"I know that your father is a well-known police detective, with a high status in the police community and deep connections, and as a detective, you always have to deal with the police, and they will take you for granted as a continuation of your father, and associate the sparkle in you with him.

"You're going to want to reject his aura and shadow, because it's really unfair to you, and you're going to resist it. But when he ......spoke, Tang Ze looked at the back of Conan, who was led by Mao Lilan and walked in front, and hooked the corners of his mouth, "That kid Kudo has been trying to explore how to better exert his wisdom and nip the tragedy in the bud, you don't want to lose to him." ”

Tang Ze said, reaching out and turning the baseball cap he was wearing backwards.

- He has wanted to do this for a long time, this kind of pretending to wear it is really uncomfortable to look at, this group of high school students who are obsessed with playing handsome.

"Such a smart brain, you can use it more often, don't just let it play a role in the crime scene!"

Hattori Heiji, who was caught off guard and was pulled by Tang Ze, turned his hat back first, and then reacted to Tang Ze's meaning.

Isn't this just laughing at him for not using his brains except when he solves crimes!

Turning his head again, Tang Ze, who had finished talking about the sass, had already slipped to the front, past the dazed Maori father and daughter and Conan, who was listening to them a little carefully, so his face was full of smiles, and ran towards the parking lot on tiptoe.

"Tang Ze! Joke I am! Don't run! ”

"I'm sorry, I really can't help it, who made your detective have such an unintelligent face?"

"Huh?! You said I looked a lot like Kudo ......! ”

"yes, I mean, you two don't look very smart."

"Tang Ze ......!"

"Be careful of bumping into people, watch your step!" Looking at the backs of the two of them scurrying farther and farther away, Maori Kogoro shouted and shook his head, "Naughty boy." ”

Although Hattori Heiji, who was chasing behind Tang Ze, looked angry, his mood was unexpectedly a little relaxed.

Yes, although he was born in a police family, he has dealt with the police the most since he was a child, and after deciding to become a detective, he will often come into contact with the police of various departments because of solving cases.

But what is it really like to be a police officer, the price to pay and the determination to devote oneself to this profession...... He really didn't know anything.

Perhaps, this is the reason why his father, after he has solved hundreds or thousands of cases, large and small, still scolds him for fooling around, thinking that his detective career is a petty fight.

He will impress his father and become a respectable detective.

【rank up！ Rank 2】

[Acquired ability "Strategizing" (greatly improved map exploration efficiency)]

[Hot-blooded and competitive, straightforward and enthusiastic, with a samurai-like personality trait, Hattori Heiji, is an unreserved friend.

These beautiful words just want to clearly tell you that he is destined to be your most difficult to parry, sincere blade.

Polishing him to be whiter and sharper, piercing the darkness and timidity that you can't pronounce more thoroughly, and embrace the blazing sun. 】

Unable to tell whether it was ridicule or deliberately stumbling under the comments that broke his defense, Tang Ze's movements slowed down by two beats, and he was almost caught by Hattori Heiji behind him.

What is an unstoppable blade...... Leon, this guy!

"It's overdone, the car is over there!" Conan, who was rather speechless by the naïve ghosts, raised his hand to his mouth and shouted.

"Really, two high school students, fighting and yelling, are really much more naïve than elementary school students." Kogoro Maori fumbled for his car keys and rolled his eyes at the backs of the two high school students.

"It's because I'm a high school student that I'm so naïve." Mao Lilan, who had already seen a lot of high school boys, hugged his arms in surprise, "When Conan becomes a high school student, maybe it's even more exaggerated than them." ”

Against Mao Lilan's meaningless gaze, Conan, who felt that he had been shot inexplicably, and couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine: "......"

————

"You didn't touch Kumail?"

"No, Mr. Rum. You say that the main task is Keichiro Numabuchi. ”

"So, have the murders that should have been faked and completed already executed?"

"Yes, the details of the dossier and exhibits have been corrected through channels."

"Well, that's good. So, have you tried to observe Kumail's situation? ”

"Yes, he acted with several detectives and criminal policemen, and his state was very natural, and he couldn't see any flaws, and I found the traces of Jiichiro Numabuchi and didn't follow them further."

"Hmm...... He didn't doubt the identity of Jiichiro Numabuchi? ”

"I think there should be."

"Oh?"

"I just used a mental interference device, but after the official arrest of Jiichiro Numabuchi, his mental state deteriorated even further, to the point where he almost lost his basic cognitive abilities."

"Do you think Kummel did it to him?"

"yes, I think it's very similar to the case he created."

"Interesting, really interesting. Alright, let's get out. ”

"Yes, Mr. Rum."

"Don't forget to go to the logistics office for a medical check-up."

“…… Yes, Mr. Rum. ”

Lowering his eyes and fumbling with his phone, which had been slightly heated by the call, Curacao put it down without expression, and turned in a direction under his feet, deviating from the route to the safe house.

She had always been very slow about the execution of orders, and since Rum had said so, she had better find the nearest lab at once and fulfill his request.

Of course, she would not worry about the medical examination, and she was prepared for the suspicious Rum to test her loyalty repeatedly.

The antidote was properly stored in a suitable place by her, waiting for a chance to see the light of day again.

Freedom comes at a price, and she already knows that, so she won't lose her temper because of a temporary drug antidote, she will only choose the most cautious strategy and wait for a better time.

Calm to a cold state is more conducive to her and Kummel's possible secret conspiracy next, so there is no need to rush for a while.

The long night before dawn must be overcome.

With this in mind, she pulled her personal phone from the compartment of her bag.

Like most of the group's members, Curacao has another cell phone that he uses to move around.

However, because she herself is a subject who will not see the light, her personal life is lackluster, and her social relations are simpler than those of the swallowing Hayato who had parents at the time, and her mobile phone is so blank that it can be considered brand new.

And now, in her single-threaded relationship network, there is a new accident.

The expression on her face did not change in the slightest, and her fingers clicked on the email interface, quickly typing a string of complex numbers and letters, and agreeing to enter a string of garbled symbols at the recipient address.

Her superior memory made her typing as smooth as if she were typing normally, and she walked into the narrow alley, and a line of characters was sent out in the agreed way.

————

"You came into contact with Curacao?" Amuro asked in surprise, "How did you recognize her?" ”

Curacao's appearance is indeed very recognizable, but he has reason to believe that since Rum can ask her to test Tang Ze, he probably won't simply approach without pretending at all.

"I can even see through Belmode's disguise, and it's very easy to recognize whether a person is disguised or not." Lightly downplaying the whole process, Tang Ze changed his posture and looked at the few people queuing up to pay at the convenience store, "In short, she didn't suspect my true identity, so Rum's side can be regarded as coping with it." Where's your side, Mr. Amuro? ”

"Well, what you said did work, and sure enough, my further temptation not to enter did not arouse Rum's suspicions, and they even gave me something extra when I started handing over the new 'freight channel' with them." Thinking of the new information that would make Team Zero work overtime for a long time, he shrugged his shoulders in a relaxed mood.

"Well, it looks like that's true. Whiskey', which stands for 'Careerist'. All members with a whisky code name share a similar identity or personality trait. With a laugh, Tang Ze said lightly, "No wonder he used Curacao to reach me." ”

"What do you mean?" Toru Amuro, who was leaning against the bar and looking through today's income and expenses, refocused his attention.

"Curacao, and Kumel, are both liqueurs." Tang Ze said in a very determined tone, "Next, it's my turn to find a way to make myself more like a 'liqueur'." ”

"What are your conclusions now?" Without any additional concern, Amuro asked bluntly.

Tang Ze is a guy who rarely throws questions to others, and he doesn't like to let others give him answers, as long as it's not an emergency, he is always more inclined to explore the truth on his own.

If he asks this kind of question, it means that he has found a possible answer.

They will take the initiative to bring it up to others, just to exchange information and verify each other.

"There are some small gains, and there are indeed them." Thinking of Curacao's long moonlit silver hair, Tang Ze shook his head, "What is certain now is that Curacao is a talent with special abilities, and she, like Hoshikawa Teru, has been undergoing various modification experiments organized for many years, and has been taking control drugs for a long time. ”

The previous information, Amuro is aware of.

Rum is a relatively special guy in the organization.

He wasn't young, but based on the few words in the organization and Gin's occasional ridicule, it was not difficult to see that Rum didn't get to where he is today on his own.

He was more like a businessman, more like a politician, more like a pretentious ruler......

Like a lot of things, except not like the second-in-command of a criminal organization.

But he just is.

He may have joined the organization because of someone's nepotism, or he may have been covered by a very influential force behind him, and the significance of his own identity is much greater than his personal ability.

It sounds very normal for such a special high-level to have a hobby of collecting special talents.

Curacao is a genius with a memory far beyond ordinary people, almost unforgettable, and this ability, when put into a ruthless killer, is like a natural intelligence worker.

But the second half of the sentence ......

"If you come to the conclusion that you have found a clue. Why, could it be that Curacao's special abilities are the result of organizational transformation? Amuro's brow furrowed, and some not-so-good associations began to pop into his mind.

If her talent had been created directly by other means, then the meaning would have been very different.

If an organization has already mastered the method of transforming this type of talent, but only Curacao has appeared, then the success rate of such transformation will not be very high.

It may sound like a favorable situation for them, but when you think about it, the blood and darkness behind this success rate can make people shudder.

"I don't deny the possibility. However, I have not been in contact with her for a long time, so I cannot verify this suspicion for the time being. Tang Ze sighed and said frankly, "If this is the case, I have to say that my parents and I should bear some responsibility for the tragedy that happened to them." ”

They here refer to both Curacao and Hoshikawa Teru, and beyond them, countless nameless people who have been drowned in the darkness.

The loss and damage caused by advanced technology falling into the hands of unscrupulous murderers is incalculable.

Even if he knew that these things might be "plot settings" in themselves, even if he didn't have cognitive studies, Curacao would still become Curacao, and Tang Ze couldn't use this reason to turn a blind eye to their experience.

It is a fact that the ability of the Tang Ze family, on top of the original tragic fate, has brought her even more damage.

"No, I don't think it's a social problem that fails to detect the black sheep in time and turns a dirty business into a behemoth." Thinking of Tang Ze's parents' past, Amuro turned pale and said seriously, "Your parents have done everything they can to refuse that their abilities should not be used. ”

Not only Tang Ze's parents, but also Teacher Elena.

Such a gentle person who will speak softly to children, because of the existence of the organization, has become the source of countless tragedies.

Knowing nothing, she and her husband fell into the webs woven by the tissue, and became miserable prey and nourishment for the giant spider, sharpening its claws and making its toxins more deadly.

What makes these geniuses with lofty ideals and indeed extremely talented become the weapons of the organization?

It is the weight of life, and the inability to afford the suffering of the family.

The Miyano family and the Karasawa family, both husband and wife are researchers who have received systematic higher education and have outstanding abilities, if the predicament of the Karasawa couple is related to the disease that happened to their children, then what about the Miyano couple?

This kind of thing happens to high-end talents, and it's ridiculous enough.

"Don't worry, I know that I won't be unable to think about this kind of thing and feel like a sinner." After laughing twice, Tang Ze understood what Amuro was worried about, and after reassuring him, he added, "Besides, anyone can blame them, but I don't have this qualification." ”

"So, what are you going to do now?" Confirming that Tang Ze's tone of voice was still stable, not like he was in a bad mood, Amuro put aside his emotion for the time being, and asked him what he thought, "It seems that you will find a way to continue to contact Curacao." ”

"Even if I don't touch her, Rum will take the initiative to let her come to me." Tang Ze said very decisively, "Even if I don't think about anything, I should make up for my parents and other reasons, she is also a good starting point." ”

"What is the entry point?" While still asking questions, Toru Amuro, who had completely entered the state of professionalism, his eyes had already brightened, and he sensed Tang Ze's thoughts.

"Organizing an entry point for experimental facilities."

In the convenience store, Mao Lilan and the others, who finally reached the beginning of the long line, delivered the things in their hands one by one to the cashier and began to pay, and Tang Ze, who was about to wait for his dinner, grinned.

Like a predator baring its teeth, ready to bite something off.

Raising his legs to greet the few people who came out, before hanging up the phone, Tang Ze finally said: "Hoshikawa Hui is a minor, and there are still too few experiments with the organization. But Curacao is already a successful 'work' that Rum dares to take with him. Guess how many of the organization's secret labs she can tell us? ”
