"So, you ended up at the house of Madam Judy Saint-Timilion, and on her way home she was taking you home, you ran into the kidnappers who kidnapped the child...... Uh, Miss Maori? ”

In the light of the street lamps in the port, after struggling to recite a long list of extremely awkward katakana, the policeman looked up and looked at the girl in front of him who was wrapped in a blanket.

"In, in!" Mao Lilan suddenly came back to his senses, answered, turned his head to look at Judy, who was sitting on the other side to receive the transcript, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, "Yes." ”

"Because that kid is a classmate of the kids in the family, you sensed something was wrong, right?" The young policeman summed up the question and wrote down the manual at the same time.

Due to the low population density in the port area, the frequent criminal cases are basically limited to small cases such as theft and theft, and he is a little new and excited to have the opportunity to make a record of serious cases.

If it had been a search lesson, it would have been time to recognize a few of them by now.

"What about the kidnappers, where the kidnappers went, do you have any clues you can provide?" The little policeman then asked.

In criminal cases involving serious nature, even if it is an on-site follow-up, it is necessary to pay attention to the rigor of the record, and it is necessary to repeatedly ask questions, compare the statements before and after, and make sure that the person being questioned has not concealed or deceived them.

He faithfully carried out the theoretical knowledge he had learned, waiting for Maoliran's answer.

“…… I do not know. Not daring to distract himself from looking at the others present, Mao Lilan lowered his head, more like convincing himself than answering his question, "The kidnapper abandoned the car and detonated the gas tank and left. ”

The real kidnapper was the blonde woman who disguised herself as a new doctor, and it was her accomplice who picked up the vehicle when she detonated the vehicle.

As for the other accomplice she called "Calvados", where had gone...... She didn't dare to ask more, and Teacher Judy didn't take the initiative to tell her.

It has reached the point where the two sides are fighting with big guns, and I am afraid that there is more luck than luck.

Looking blankly at the blanket on his lap, Maolilan's thoughts kept diverging.

yes, about the fact that no one should be allowed to die in front of their eyes...... For the police, the meaning is different.

As the only profession on the island that can legally carry guns, the police are equipped with guns to protect themselves and achieve the threat of force, and if the situation is urgent, in order to protect the safety of the people and themselves, shooting and killing prisoners is fulfilling their duty for them.

This is also homicide, of course, but ......

Thinking of the familiar police officers in the search lesson, thinking of the Japanese public security that Tang Ze encountered when he had an accident, and even thinking of her father......

It's the right thing to do to raise a gun for the sake of justice and to hurt a prisoner to protect others, right?

So, after learning about these things, lying to protect them, too, is the right thing to do, right?

Mao Lilan tightened the blanket on her body, and her chaotic heartbeat slowly returned to order.

This may be what Tang Ze wants to tell her.

That night, in addition to hinting to her that Shinichi couldn't help himself, what he wanted to say was probably these things.

Could this be the world Shinichi is facing?

She looked at the moonlight faintly sprinkled on the gray-white concrete floor under her feet, and began to be distracted again.

————

"I don't like that place."

Sitting in Akechigoro's car, smelling the new but unfamiliar in-car freshener, Belmode's voice floated softly.

As she herself said, everything was like a dream.

"But I can't leave, I can't do it. I am rootless, and from the time I was born, everything was a protracted plan. ”

said that he wanted the other party to dream for him, but Belmode did not explain the meaning of this passage, and it seemed to be talking to himself from beginning to end.

"I can't escape. Start with the roots of the spirit. Crows are everywhere, they are the eyes and ears of God, and I am only God's creation, clay sculptures and statues, miracles and mercy, but not people. ”

Even if her expression was still calm, her speech order began to gradually fall into confusion, and as she spoke, all kinds of metaphors took turns, and Tang Ze, who could hear the drive, frowned secretly.

This symptom has been seen in others.

…… The poor Kyosuke Kazeto, who was so pitied by their debuff and self-made device that he couldn't even open his mouth to explain what happened to the cognitive world to others.

He thought that after she disguised herself and entered the prison to meet Kyosuke Kazeto, she told Gin without thinking that Kumel had made Kyosuke Kaze insane with his own means, so even if Kyosuke Kaze fell into the hands of the police, there was still no threat to the organization, which could not be regarded as Kumail's mistake, and most of it should be due to Belmode's care of the Plastic Alliance.

Looking at it now, she may really be so convinced.

Because, she is such a poor worm who can't even control her brain.

Knowing that he was spitting out something untouchable, Belmode's expression was very calm.

She's used to it.

"On the surface, they see me as a miracle and call me a saint, but I'm just a discarded creature, and I'm just a crow. Do you know what I'm talking about, Kumail? ”

Tang Ze, who was also driving the car with a calm face, didn't move his expression.

Although I don't know why she is so confident in him, she doesn't really understand it.

However, combined with the results of the investigation given by Team Zero, combined with the chips that Amuro extorted from Belmode, he can roughly imagine Belmode's situation.

So, this passage probably says......

"On the surface, you're the grown-up's child."

Turning the wheel and heading towards the highway, Tang Ze spoke very slowly, he had to keep an eye on Belmode's reaction and adjust what he said.

"But you were never considered his heir, even he thought so."

The above content comes from Karasawa's interpretation of the riddle, and the following part is the conclusion of Amuro's investigation.

This is also the bargaining chip he can hold Belmode hostage.

"You're a child he created for himself using biological means, aren't you?"

"Did you find Bourbon's investigation materials?" Belmode raised an eyebrow.

Isn't that? After all, he gave the direction of the investigation, and it would be unkind not to share the results with him as a collaborator.

Saying this in his heart, Tang Ze still shook his head on his face: "I vaguely found a clue." Not all from him, as you said, I can see some extra 'things'. ”

Misleading Belmode's speculation led her to interpret Tang Ze's super-travel information as a sequelae caused by the experiment, which is a very important prerequisite in Tang Ze's script.

This will further deepen Belmode's trust in him, recognise their exact same position, and will also lay the groundwork for new scams to follow.

In terms of acting, Tang Ze is really serious.

With a low chuckle, Belmode held his chin and changed the question.

"How old do you think I am?"

————

“…… My mom and dad, as well as Tang Ze's mom and dad, were conducting dangerous cutting-edge research. Standing in front of Mao Lilan, Gray Plains Wai explained softly, "Almost all of them were killed by people. ”

"How so?" The frightened Maoliran was already sitting on the ground, "Donzawa told me before that his parents died in a laboratory accident......"

"yes, that's what I said to the outside world." Gray Yuan nodded calmly, "We can't find any other evidence either." ”

"The deaths of Mr. Kazukawa Karasawa and Ms. Leona Karasawa were very sudden." Judy, who stood up straight, pulled out a torn blood bag from the clothes on her abdomen - she had prepared for a long time, of course, she would not be injured by Belmode again, "During their captivity, they relied on Shuichi to establish contact with us, and the two of them can be counted as our informants. ”

"Two months before Karasawa came to Tokyo, they suddenly lost contact completely, and a few days later, the news of their death came. I rushed to Tokyo to try to keep Karasawa safe. Skipping over his undercover situation and the chain reaction caused by the subsequent exposure, Akai Shuichi explained lightly.

"Two months ago, so, was that case on Tang Ze also part of the persecution?!" Maoliran's eyes widened in shock.

"Yes." Gray Plains nodded.

"So, so, you're in a similar situation ...... Conan?" Mao Lilan, who had finally connected everything together, trembled and pointed to Gray Yuanai's face, which was a bit similar to Tang Ze.

"I am indeed Tang Ze's younger sister...... But I'm 18 years old. Gray Yuan pursed her lips and turned her head away.

"Oh my God, so ......" Mao Lilan held his face and fell into a self-conscious shock, "Shinichi became like this in order to investigate Tang Ze's case?" ”

"Uh......" couldn't help but jam the shell, and Gray Yuan Wai peeked at Tang Ze, who was standing not far away with a sniper rifle and didn't say a word, and nodded reluctantly, "Big, probably...... right?"

Tang Ze, who always throws the pot on others, rarely carries the pot once: "......"

"But, in this case, since that photo is the result of Teacher Judy's investigation, then Tang Ze said that he was abused in those two months, and it was Zhizhijun who did it?!" Mao Lilan, who realized that he had connected all the logic, couldn't control his volume, "Is that picture like this?!" ”

Damn, then why did Tang Ze repeatedly say that Akechi Wulang was his friend......

Could it be that bullying and abuse are producing something in Stockholm?

Oh my God, how is this ...... No wonder Karasawa insisted that he didn't have any other friends before he came to Tokyo......

"Is this—is this......" Judy glanced at Tang Ze, who had nothing to do to scare children, "Well, we're still investigating." You can be appropriately wary of Achigoro. ”

The identity of Akechi Goro does not have much intersection with them, and keeping a distance from this identity can indeed effectively reduce the organization's attention on these children...... Right?

harm, Tang Ze played his own tricks, and he will bear the consequences himself.

Tang Ze, who directed and acted in the whole play, was very calm.

It's really at this stage of the plot, and then it's almost time for Belmode to discover the second half of his script.

I hope she really pays as much attention to Angel as she said, otherwise no one will take the later scenes, right?

————

"The first recorded IVF was born in 1978, and Belmode's real age was much older than that...... So, you might be able to see what I mean. ”

"I guess I understand. Is she an artificial insemination product similar to IVF created by Boss? At that time, the technology was very immature, not to mention living until now, it is a miracle to be able to survive. ”

"Yes, her life should have been extremely short. That's what that person is for. ”

"Let them be desperate and unscrupulous in order to survive?"

"Yes, it's useless and defective anyway, and it's enough to test the drug for him. We speculate that the person may have some kind of fertility defect, or because of physical reasons, it is not possible to reproduce naturally at all. This is even more true in Belmode, where it is impossible for her to be fertile. ”

"A humanoid guinea pig that exists purely for experimentation, sounds so sad."

"And she's been a marionette made of too many hands and feet. So the people of the organization will trust her so much, and the boss will be so indulgent to her. She simply didn't have the ability to resist. ”

————

"So, no matter how out-of-the-ordinary your actions may be, all it takes is a flirtatious command anyway, and you will once again become a tame lamb." Tang Ze, who ended his memories, summed up simply, "You don't even have the ability to dream. ”

Closing his eyes, Belmode, who couldn't help but feel sleepy because of the pain and exhaustion, just hooked the corners of his mouth.

Of course, without the ability to dream, it was extremely difficult for her to even fall asleep.

It's been so long, so long that I can't recall where it began.

She couldn't tell how much of it was a side effect of the drug, how much of it was her congenitally deficient genes protesting in this cage-like body.

All she knew was that if those forbidden studies had not been started and had been fruitless, a miserable life like hers would not have existed.

She hated them so much, she hated all of them so much, and she hated herself, who was born here, and of course she hated herself.

Hate this pain, hate this unfreedom.

When a kite is released into the sky and sees a free bird, one can only resent why they let a man-made object have the illusion of flying.

Unfortunately, kites don't dream.

"Drop me off on the side of the road and take the storage on my phone and Cool Guy's device and destroy it. Dream for me, I thought, get a good night's sleep. ”

A moment of respite tonight is a nap, a peaceful corner.

Leaning back in his seat, Belmode's consciousness began to blur again.

Give me a good night's sleep.

It became a silver bullet that pierced my heart, making me close my eyes and never have to open them again.

————

"Shinichi Kudo? Who's that. Gin, who parked the car by the bridge, had a cold eyebrow, "I haven't heard of it." ”

"That's it, the little ghost that the eldest brother used to poison with the organization's new medicine seems to be a detective......" Vodka, hidden in the corner, whispered to the other end of the phone.

"I never remember the faces and names of people I've killed." Lighting a cigarette for himself, Gin replied flatly, "Then, what are you going to say, you shouldn't say that the dead man came to the door again, right?" You're going to the Halloween ball, not really going to be a ghost, vodka. ”

"Like, it's not like that......" Vodka hesitated as he peeked in the direction of the door, remembering the dark-skinned teenage detective he had just met.

"Why are you putting on Kudo again?" Sonoko Suzuki sighed heavily, "Second time, right?" ”

She still thinks that this athletic handsome guy looks very tasteful, dressed as a reasoning freak all day long, and the tone of his speech is so similar, people can't be interested at all, okay?

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, didn't I just get an invitation, I just thought about how quickly it was debunked last time, and I need to prepare well this time. How's that, I fooled you, right? Hattori joked with a grin, "He hasn't come out yet, so he can't really die as rumored." ”

"If Xiaolan comes today, she will definitely kick your hand off." Mori Kogoro, who was performed by Hattori Heiji with a telescopic mechanism and could insert his palm, said angrily.

Don't say that he seems to have some special hobby, okay?

There was no way, Kudo and Karasawa came to him together to help, saying that it was to complete the plan, and there were likely other members of the organization on the ship, such as Kumel who secretly signed the letter arrogantly or something......

Even now, who can say that there are no members of the organization on board?

"If you change your face or wear makeup, well, if you haven't seen me, isn't it difficult to do exactly the same?" The vodka held back for a long time, and finally asked.

Otherwise, what to say, he was taken aback when he saw Kudo Shinichi coming up, and when he finally found a hidden location to dial the phone, the other party took off his hood and announced that it was fake.

Then what else can he do, the calls to the eldest brother have been called......

"Don't ask stupid questions. Isn't Tang Zezhao dead? Kumel only looked at his photo, and the disguise was already flawless. Gin snorted coldly, not wanting to listen any further.

What's this...... Big brother, if you have to say, the first time I met Kumail, he himself was a little different from the photo.

Vodka, who didn't dare to say bluntly that the eldest brother might be face-blind, scratched his face in embarrassment and scratched his hand of paint.

In order to be as realistic as possible, the zombie image he made up added two holes to his face, and now he suddenly touched it, and it was weird and disgusting.

"Alright, since Belmode caused the murder on the ship, the police are expected to be there soon. Hurry up and get off the boat before you get discovered. If your locator appears where it shouldn't, you'll be the next target. Gin, who was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with the other party, hung up the phone directly.

Even the code name was heard by ordinary people outside the organization, and this alone was enough for the organization to be dissatisfied with Belmode's actions this time.

This woman can finally get a little farther away, even if it's temporary.

“…… This gentleman? ”

As soon as the phone was hung up, before the vodka could breathe, a voice suddenly came from behind him, which frightened him and turned his head sharply.

The bartender in a skull mask stood right in front of the bathroom door, the pale mask was so realistically made that the eyes of the mask even glowed slightly, making vodka shiver.

"Are you okay? Need help? The ship will return to port immediately, and we will start evacuating the guests to register their names as required by the police. Scary to scary, the bartender spoke in a polite voice, as if it really reminded him of the way he looked.

A very standard tone of service, it seems that he didn't hear anything, and Vodka breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I see. I'll go out. ”

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

Watching Vodka hurriedly leave the cabin, the skull-masked bartender waited until he was far away before pressing the walkie-talkie on his chest.

Amuro's voice came from under the mask.

"Well, the vodka has a locator on it, so I won't be lucky tonight. Let's close the team first. ”
