In front of the warning letter from the strange thief Kidd, no matter how much preparation there is, it will be chaotic at the end.

The atmosphere in the exhibition hall was solemn and heavily guarded. All visitors have been cleared, and a large expanse of emptiness is clustered around a jewel in the middle of the exhibition hall - the blue heart.

There were only ten minutes left before the time on the notice letter, and Officer Yamazaki hurriedly inspected the venue one last time.

"Security team?"

"Get in place!"

"Garrison Team 2?"

"In!"

“……”

He checked every corner of the exhibition hall in every detail, until the last place, and reported the name of the place, but his voice was slightly stuck.

“…… Surveillance room? ”

"It's business as usual."

In the headphones, a gentle male voice answered smoothly.

The boulder in Yamazaki's heart was finally relieved.

His original boss was the Nakamori Police Department of the Second Search Division, which had focused on arresting the strange thief Kidd for many years, but he happened to be ill today and took a leave of absence. Instead of him in charge of the overall situation in the monitoring room, it was the male voice opposite the headset who presided over this duel with Kidd.

- A police officer temporarily seconded from the Search Section, Yu Karasawa.

*

The surveillance room sank into a watery darkness, and the only light source came from a wall of monitors, illuminating the face of the young man in front of the screen.

Tang Zeyu sat back in a swivel chair.

His complexion was extremely white, his chin was buried in a dark gray plaid scarf, his half-length hair was tied in a ponytail at the back of his head, and the tails of his eyes were slightly downward, and when he looked at the screen with his half-lowered eyes, he showed a bit of careless laziness.

A few strands of hair hung down in front of him, and the young man's focused pupils shone brightly, dark and quiet, like rigid ink in a cold pool.

Compared to the other officers on duty in the exhibition hall, he did seem a little too young, more like a recent graduate than a conductor.

But Yamazaki knew that his appearance or age did not affect Tang Zeyu's prestige in the slightest.

After graduating from the police academy, this young rising star in the police field entered the search class, led the cracking of many major cases, and changed the image of the Metropolitan Police Department in the hearts of the people. In just a few years, Tang Zeyu's name has almost become the spokesperson of the "Japanese police" in the news.

To protect the gems for the Nakamori Police Department is actually a bit overkill.

Even so, Yamazaki still has worries in his heart that can't be dissolved.

It's not that he doubts the strength of Yu Karasawa - in fact, it is precisely because Yu Karasawa is too young and capable that Yamazaki is worried until now.

With him, Kidd's operation this time will definitely not go so smoothly; But in the end, even Yamazaki himself didn't know whether to hope that the temporary commander would catch Kidd.

It should be said that the entire second section of the search has mixed feelings about Kidd - even if this old opponent who has been making waves for many years is brought to justice, who can guarantee that there will be Kidd No. 2 and No. 3 in the future?

But it is unknown whether the new criminals will return the gems and adhere to the principle of non-killing.

The confrontation that has lasted for many years, the second lesson of the search and the strange thief are like the two sides of the game walking on a tightrope, chasing each other, but tacitly maintaining the precarious balance.

It is obvious that due to the arrival of Yu Karazawa, the balance is about to be broken.

*

As for the rising star of the police industry, Tang Zeyu, who is regarded as "upsetting", he is holding his hands on his chest and leaning back in his chair.

seems to be calm and confident, but in fact, his heart is a mess.

"Report! Alerts are in place and units are ready. ”

Tang Zeyu nodded: "Okay." ”

It seems that he is not a character with many words. Fooling the report in the headset, Tang Zeyu silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyone who opens his eyes to a strange place can't react more naturally than he does.

To make matters worse, Karasawa discovers that he has lost his memory.

All common sense exists in a good way, but his own experience, memory, and character, Tang Zeyu is blank about it.

For example, he knew that everyone was fighting against Kidd the Monster Thief, but he didn't know what role he played in this incident.

It's like a pure white room.

- The inside seems to be empty, but in fact all the decorations are in place, but the exterior is also covered with a layer of white.

It's impossible to tell from the outline, but when you touch it, you'll see that the original thing is actually there.

Tang Zeyu's current situation is in such a delicate state.

When he observes something, the corresponding information floods into his mind, as if he reached out and touched the furniture in the room; And the parts that are not seen are still covered in blanks.

The insecurity caused by amnesia was like floating in the air without landing, and Tang Zeyu pointed his upper arms with his five fingers in turn, feeling a slight anxiety.

Yamazaki, who was on the other end of the headset, continued, "Police, what other instructions do you have?" ”

Tang Zeyu moved.

Afraid of what comes.

Well, he said in his heart, what to do now?

If, as the "Yamazaki-kun" report says, everything is ready, then he can fool him with an ambiguous "continue to go as planned".

But his instincts prevented him from doing so.

An inexplicable premonition told him that he must have missed something.

Now that he is in the monitoring room, the empty environment can indeed avoid the exposure of amnesia to the greatest extent, but correspondingly, Tang Zeyu can obtain very little information.

He pondered for half a second, already having a decision in his heart.

"Now go back to the exhibition hall." Tang Zeyu made a final decision, "I'll check it again." ”

*

The reason why I chose to leave the monitoring room is because simply sitting in front of the monitoring has come to an end.

Information is a collection of the five senses.

Not only the picture, but also the sound, smell, and temperature.

Physical appearances all have causes, and it is reasoning to trace the causes through phenomena.

The display case for storing the gems is located in the center of the building, while the monitoring room is located in the northeast corner of the building, with several winding corridors in the middle.

The surveillance footage changes in front of your eyes, quickly assembling the floor plan of the entire building. This kind of thinking ability that is far beyond ordinary people is almost instinctive, and before Tang Zeyu realized it, the layout of the entire building was already well understood.

He pushed open the door and hurried out of the monitoring room.

Passing through the second corner of the corridor, the debriefer on the other side of the headset trotted in front of Tang Zeyu.

"Karasawa Police Department!" The figure at the end of the hallway saluted.

Tang Zeyu nodded and said, "It's hard work, you-"

After a pause in his unspoken voice, he realized that he didn't know the name of this subordinate, so he naturally swallowed the following words.

The man dressed as an ordinary police officer slowed down, and in the process, Tang Zeyu looked at the comer quietly.

Rank - below himself, apparently under his command.

There was sweat on his forehead, and his breath was uneven, due to trotting all the way. Love your job and be skilled in business.

He's one of my subordinates? - Nope.

When he spoke, his eyes dodged, and his fingers subconsciously rubbed against each other, he didn't grasp the attitude of getting along with me, and there was a high probability that the relationship was unfamiliar before.

I am in a temporary command position.

Where did the original person go?

These thoughts only turned in Tang Zeyu's mind for less than half a second, and then he swiped the screen of his mobile phone with a calm expression.

In any case, according to the charter, the other party will get my contact information first.

I am used to rejecting strange calls, and everyone will note their names.

In other words, through the address book, Tang Zeyu can know the identity of the comer.

He swept his gaze over the list of callers and continued, "-Yamazaki-kun. ”

"Here's what I'm supposed to do!" Yamazaki said immediately.

He had just walked one step behind Tang Zeyu, and he didn't notice the slightest abnormality.

The inference is correct.

Tang Zeyu lowered his eyes and extinguished the phone.

The name with the most recent calls is: Shunsuke Yamazaki.

***

There was still some distance from the exhibition hall, and the two walked side by side in the corridor, and Tang Zeyu was the first to provoke the topic.

"After all, I'm in a temporary position," he said mildly, "and in terms of experience, I'm certainly not as good as Yamazaki-kun." I'll count on you for a lot tonight, and I'll talk to him when I get back. ”

Yamazaki immediately said: "You are too humble, and our Nakamori Police Department also admires your ability very much. ”

Nakamori Police Department?

Catching another piece of information, Tang Zeyu smiled. "My pleasure."

Immediately afterward, he looked at his watch casually:

"There is still ...... time to go"

He deliberately paused his voice and frowned slightly, and Yamazaki immediately added: "13 minutes and 02 seconds." ”

“…… Ten minutes countdown, wearing a gas mask. Tang Zeyu continued with a relaxed expression, "Have you checked everyone's faces?" ”

As the corridor came to an end, Yamazaki stretched out his hand to push the door of the hall, turned around and said loudly, "Of course! Don't give Kidd the Thief a chance to sneak in! ”

The exhibition hall opened with a squeak, and the first thing that caught my eye was an old man in front of the display case.

He was short and strong, with a strong spirit, and his gray stubble was uninhibited upward, just like his indomitable character.

This is the owner of this gem, the chairman of the Suzuki Group, Jiroyoshi Suzuki.

Karasawa guessed that he should have seen the director in the report, and the moment he saw his face, relevant information immediately appeared. The other four people did not have this treatment, and they stood next to Jiroji Suzuki, a middle-aged uncle in a suit, two young girls, and a schoolboy with glasses.

After greeting them, Tang Zeyu's gaze naturally fell on them.

"May I ask who you ......?"

Judging from the position, these four people have a close relationship with Chairman Suzuki, and Tang Zeyu did not immediately say the words "please leave the scene with unrelated people".

"Ah, I'll introduce you!" Yamazaki patted his head, "They are all old acquaintances of the second division of the search, this is Detective Mori Kogoro; These two are the chairman's niece, Sonoko Suzuki and friend Mori Ran, who are also the daughters of a Mori detective; As for this little friend,"

He pointed to the youngest boy, "—he's Conan Edogawa with the title of 'Kid Buster'!" ”

"Ha, haha, that's what it says on the news, and it's not ......" Conan laughed awkwardly.

To his surprise, after the new strange police department exchanged a few words with several adults, he actually squatted down in front of Conan.

"This kid of 'Kid Buster'," Tang Zeyu smiled, "Do you mind if I test you a little question?" ”

Conan was stunned.

For him, a child, the attitude of searching the second lesson is either ignorance or disdain, and Conan is the first time he has seen Tang Zeyu's direct question.

But come to think of it, it should be a child-amusing question like "How did the title of Kidd the Strange Thief come about......

Conan had half-moon eyes in his heart, and said loudly and obediently on his face: "Okay! ”

*

Looks like I've taken the bait.

Tang Zeyu supported his knees with his elbows, supported his cheeks with one hand, and smiled silently in his heart.

In fact, he didn't plan to reveal the identity of the strange thief Kidd so early, but there was a "Kidd Buster" standing here. For this kind of child whose maturity is beyond his age, Tang Zeyu can't hold back his idea of teasing at all.

After all, when you grow up, you'll be a serious adult, and it's not fun at all. He thought rightly.

"Then I'll ask." Yu Karasawa propped up his chin, "Conan-san, I know that everyone present is ......"

"Who's Kidd?"

The entire exhibition hall fell silent in an instant.

The police officer on duty exchanged glances and ears, unable to contain his shock at all. Conan was also shocked, but he still remembered his elementary school student's character, so he scratched his head and said, "Alas...... How do I know if Kidd isn't here, so big brother knows? ”

After the innocent answer, Yamazaki also said: "Yes, the police department, everyone has pinched their faces and checked, how can Kidd be here?" ”

Karasawa Yu was noncommittal.

He didn't seem surprised by this response, and perhaps he didn't expect this question to be answered, so Tang Zeyu got up easily and patted the hem of his police uniform.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on him, and as he looked around the exhibition hall, a cold light passed over Conan's lenses.

Yamazaki on the side opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't make a sound, and his expression of wanting to speak fell into the afterglow of Karasawa Yu, who smiled again and threw another bomb unhurriedly.

"Please lock down the exhibition hall immediately."

"As for whether Kidd the Monster Thief was present or not, I think he himself knows better than we do...... Are you right? ”

Tang Zeyu calmly turned his head sideways, and his gaze met in the air with another person with his mouth open.

The temptation and whirlwind hidden in the sea in an instant were torn away, and the silent confrontation paved the way for a long time, and finally came to the time when the picture was poor at this moment.

Kidd the Strange Thief—there was no more cautious courtesy in the eyes of the person in his disguise, and a sharp flame burned in his dark blue pupils!

Tang Zeyu's smile deepened: "-Mountain, Saki, Jun? ”

TBC.
