Chapter 624: Tang Ze: It's you, Conan
ββ¦β¦ Very interesting question. Raising his eyebrows, Tang Ze leaned against the wall beside him and asked with interest, "Why do you think so?" β
"When I left the building yesterday and learned about what was happening in the outside world, I couldn't help but keep thinking, when did you go to Teiji Moriya and install the camera?"
Holding his arms, Conan stared at the people in front of him with a leisurely expression that was a little underbeaten, and counted them one by one.
"Then I found out that when a few of us went to visit Teiji Moriya's exhibition room, we left the garden for about half an hour, during which time, Kitagawa-kun was introduced to several patrons by the garden, because some of them made a decision on the relevant agreement of sponsorship on the spot, so they temporarily borrowed Teiji Moriya's study, which means that he has left everyone's sight......" Thinking of Yusuke Kitagawa, Conan couldn't help but shake his head, "It's really impossible for Teiji Moriya to realize. β
Even Suzuki Sonoko, who had been circling around Yusuke Kitagawa throughout the event, failed to notice the gap caused by the short time in the house, and Teiji Moriya, who was all focused on Moriran at the time, wanted to find it more difficult.
"Also, the first few bombs from yesterday. If you noticed Teiji Moriya and interfered with his actions, it means that you want to meddle in this matter and stop the destruction. That contradicts your attitude at the beginning yesterday. Unless...... At that time, you actually knew my actions very well. β
Thinking of the circumstances under which he met Yusuke Kitagawa yesterday, Conan felt speechless for a while.
If part of Joker's intelligence ability comes from his excellent acting ability, then Kitagawa Yusuke probably relies on that natural radio temperament.
It should be difficult for normal people to think that a character like Yusuke Kitagawa would actually be a spy who came to listen to information......
Even now, when it is nine times certain that the other party is related to the Strange Thieves, Conan still can't help but be shaken when he thinks of the calmness on the other party's face, as if he suspects that he is the one with the problem.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many coincidences, and the detective never trusted small probability events, Conan would have felt that he was too suspicious.
"So, your conclusion is ......?" Raising his eyebrows for a long time, Tang Ze looked at the subtle expression on Conan's face and couldn't help but tease him.
It's no wonder that Kudo and his wife always like to play with him, and it's quite interesting to watch a serious elementary school student change his face.
"Don't admit it? If you don't admit it, I won't believe it. With a snort, Conan's face became even more stinky, "I said why did Teiji Moriya mistake him for Kudo Shinichi, he was following me at the time......"
Once you substitute the information that Yusuke Kitagawa is also a thief of the heart, all his actions can be reasonably explained at once.
Why is it that the bombing case is so indifferently dealt with such a dangerous situation, without any sense of crisis or urgency, and exaggerated a little bit with a simple nervous explanation, and regarded it as a calm understanding of the development of the situation, and the matter is much more reasonable?
Also, the reason why he got acquainted with Teiji Moritani, and now that he thinks about it, it's more like a way to get closer to their goal efficiently in a different way than a chance encounter.
The real process of the whole thing, probably, is that because he informed Joker of his itinerary, Teiji Moriya was on the investigation list of the Monster Thieves, and Yusuke Kitagawa, a painter, took advantage of his identity to get close to his target, and met them.
After discovering that Teiji Moriya wanted to deal with Kudo Shinichi, their follow-up plan included him too.
So on the day of the attack by Emperor Moriya, as soon as he received the anonymous phone call, the strange thief group, which had already installed a camera or something, was keenly aware of the other party's movements, so he found himself who hurried to the scene......
The more I think about it, the more I think about it, the more reasonable it becomes, and Yusuke Kitagawa's handsome face with a melancholy temperament has put a layer of insidious and cunning filter on him.
"Meowβ"
A cat meow made Conan's more and more solemn expression freeze for a moment.
He lowered his head, and saw a little Siamese cat that he was all too familiar with, deftly turning out of the side of the hallway, rubbing the Joker's trouser legs around, and grinding his claws against the other party's black trousers.
"Thisβthis isn't ......" went up an octave in tone, and Conan pointed directly at the cat, his tone inexplicably sad and angry.
You also said that you don't know Yusuke Kitagawa! Isn't this even loaded, and I didn't plan to install it!
Tang Ze bent down and spread out his palms so that Nekko could climb up with his strength, allowing the kitten to climb onto his shoulder.
He knew that it wasn't the cat grinding its claws with his pants, but that yesterday in the temple, Nekko used to climb up and down with his scarf, and now he couldn't find a place to climb, and he was pulling in confusion.
"No way, Yusuke's dormitory is not good for cats." Touching two soft cats, Tang Ze led Conan to the familiar reception room, "Come in and talk." β
"He's one of you. Is it fun to play with me? Conan followed him angrily, and soon noticed that there was more stuff in the room than before.
The cat climbing frame, the sisal with claws grinding, the cat toys, etc., are scattered on the floor of the room, and it is not difficult to see that the owner here likes this new member very much, and Yusuke Kitagawa said it well, Nekko is indeed well taken care of.
I'm afraid that's the reason why the joker pestle didn't give way at the door for a long time, and as soon as he walked in the door, he should show his stuffing.
"Well, Yusuke Kitagawa is a member of the Monster of the Heart's Bandits." Tang Ze said a big truth without any sincerity.
Conan, who finally heard the other party's relief, pouted: "So using that speaking style to approach the target or something, is it also a disguise designed by you......"
"Oh, that's not it. Compared with the careful disguise, he belongs to the gifted faction who is at ease with what happens. Tang Ze said unashamedly nonsense.
So how are you going to get close to your goal, relying on the way of dialogue that kills people and doesn't pay for your life?
Conan twitched the corner of his eye: "...... It's a little too much to be casual. β
"As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. If you hadn't known about our situation in advance, if you were Teiji Moriya, would you suspect that Yusuke Kitagawa was here to spy on you? β
After thinking about it carefully, Conan couldn't help but be silent for a while.
I really can't argue with that......
"Being able to find Yusuke's problem, it's a lot of progress, detective." Throwing him a can of iced coffee, Tang Ze sat in the position he was used to, "As a reward, let's talk about it, what is the matter with me?" β
"Reward...... the corners of his eyes jumped, and Conan asked with a twitch in the corners of his mouth, "Should you be ......?"
"yes, we bet you can find out, thank you for keeping my winning streak alive." Raising the cup in his hand, Tang Ze confirmed his guess, "Caitou won't tell you, in short, thank you." β
These guys......
Every time he comes to Joker, he experiences a new version of speechlessness, and Conan feels like he's almost numb to it.
Obviously, he came to reveal the secret, and wanted to take the lead, Conan, who was overpowering in momentum, let out a sigh of relief, and explained the reason why he would find the problem without any taste: "At the end of Teiji Moriya's tea party, he explained to himself that he was originally adopted by a painter since childhood, but his teacher was imprisoned for plagiarizing his works......"
Due to his violent remarks to Moriran after eating, Conan, who had been awakened by the radar, immediately set out to investigate the situation of Yusuke Kitagawa.
He thought that since everyone was in prison, it was very likely that there was a serious criminal case, such as the plagiarist who discovered his teacher's behavior, and his teacher did nothing to kill people, or because of some disputes over fame and fortune, or conflicts with the gunman......
This can't be blamed for making up too much in his brain, but as a detective, this situation is commonplace.
However, to his surprise, he was unable to investigate a case that matched the other party's description.
Faced with Kudo Shinichi's inquiry, the Twilight Police Department gave an answer he didn't expect: "Well, it's true that no similar files have been found, but, because of the activities of the Monster of the Heart Thieves in recent months, we have a lot of cases here that have not been counted in the files, maybe this person took the initiative to apologize and repent, surrendered or something......"
Twilight Thirteen's tone was indescribable, full of exhaustion from being tortured by paperwork.
Did the Monster of the Heart bandit intervene and cause the case to not develop to the worst outcome...... From this, Conan had some wonderful associations.
ββ¦β¦ I think maybe he came to you for help, or maybe you noticed his predicament by chance. Conan said, glancing at the cat that crawled to the side of Joker's neck and rubbed affectionately, "It seems to be a common situation for the people you help to become your relation. β
"That's pretty much it." Karasawa nodded approvingly, and decided to add this to Kitagawa Yusuke's backstory.
On the premise that there is no plot of the original work at all, he relied on his strong logical ability to make up the script for him, and went around in a circle and unexpectedly came to the conclusion that it was not far from the original setting, and it had to be you, Conan.
I will make a vest in the future, and the logical problems will depend on you to pull it off for me, the pen will be given to you, and you will come.
"You guys actually absorb ordinary high school students...... Conan's expression became complicated, and he looked around the villa with a considerable area as he spoke.
Moreover, Yusuke Kitagawa is so embarrassed that he can't afford to eat, and the strange thieves who live in the big house haven't even helped out......
Tang Ze glanced at him: "What, do Xingchuan and I look very old?" Yusuke just doesn't want to change the trajectory of his past life, he just wants to rely on his own strength. β
"Even if he can't afford to eat?" Conan, who couldn't understand it at all, asked in shock.
Who knows, anyway, the radio wave artist is like this, this is not a setting that Tang Ze added to him casually.
Kitagawa Yusuke has never regarded the assets of the monster thief group, or the assets of friends, as his own resources, which is an important part of his design.
As for the members of his Monster Thieves who are in a completely different situation now......
Although they won't say it, they are part of their assets, and Tang Ze thinks so in his heart.
Tang Ze shrugged: "The artist's insistence, maybe." Anyway, the bursary that Miss Suzuki helped him contact can already afford the rest of his high school life, so respect his ideas. β
Hearing him say this, Conan was surprised: "Oh? I thought it was just a cover he was looking for to make it easier for him to move around the Moriya family......"
"I said it." Tang Ze knocked on the cup, "A gifted faction that is at ease with what happens." β
Of course, Karasawa is not bad for money, but in order to add enough real details to Kitagawa Yusuke's vest, Karasawa did not refuse those funding agreements.
With this money, Tang Ze really provided an account for Suzuki Sonoko, and has already identified students who want to sponsor it, and is ready to let this money play its role and anonymously transfer it to those who need it.
When it comes to making vests, Tang Ze has always been serious.
"Okay, thank you for your concern on Kitagawa's behalf, but don't always ask about our members. Don't you have other questions? Go ahead. Tang Ze, who knew the purpose of Conan's trip very well, raised his eyebrows.
Because of his intervention, the explosion with a more serious impact did not happen, and Mao Lilan, who had been prepared for a long time, did not fall into the desperate situation of putting all his hopes on Kudo Shinichi, and the life-and-death parting scene of U jump I jump was also lost by butterflies.
So, the plot that turned a corner was grafted to the next link from a very wonderful angle.
- In the face of Mao Lilan, who has already decided that Conan is Kudo Shinichi, how to try his best to cover up his identity and get through this crisis.
Regarding how to do it and whether to do it or not, in addition to asking Tang Ze himself when he first woke up, Conan also asked all the insiders of his identity for their opinions, and obviously fell into a huge wavering.
The development route is completely different from the original work, and there is no absolute shadow and fear of the organization.
On the contrary, because her surviving relatives are all fighting on the front line against the organization, and she has also found her own weapon, the fulcrum that can pry the behemoth.
So on the issue of Kudo Shinichi's identity, losing her strong opposition, Conan has no determination to cover his vest to the death, and is vacillating in the trade-off.
"At the Rice Flower Municipal Building, Xiaolan mistakenly thought that I was injured by the explosion, and in a gaffe, she called me 'Conan' and 'Shinichi' at the same time. I'm pretty sure she's identified me. Glancing resentfully at the culprit behind this scene, Conan sighed sadly, "I can't just reveal the existence of the Order, but that doesn't explain why I deceived her so much." β
"Well, our masked hero is going to show his stuff in front of his little girlfriend who doesn't know his identity. So, what do you want to do, still hide it from her, or do you say ......? Listening to his tone, Tang Ze, who knew that he had made a decision, followed his words and asked.
ββ¦β¦ Even if you want to confess to her and explain the cause and effect, you can't use the way you are now. I need to sit down with her and have a good talk. Taking a deep breath, Conan's face became serious, "I know that your disguise ability is very powerful, and you can easily play another person. β
"That's true."
"Hmm...... In a few days,It's the annual school festival of Didan.γ Can you please do me a favor? β
