Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 1096 Scare people

"Don't scare me, Tang Ze."

Hondou Eisuke looked at the smile on Tang Ze's face that seemed to have a deep meaning, and quickly laughed. He was not at all frightened by the seemingly dark temperament he exuded.

"If you really are 'someone over there', you don't need to do anything. Just hearing you say that I'm looking for my sister who I've lost contact with for many years and who looks very similar to Mizunashi Reina is enough to cause trouble. Now, since neither she nor I have encountered any problems, it means that there is nothing untrustworthy about you."

Acting cautiously does not mean questioning everyone. Moreover, after he discovered Rena Mizunashi's new movements, his decision to come to Tokyo was a gamble in itself.

After all, his luck has never been good.

Tang Ze looked at him carefully for a few seconds, curled his lips, and put away the malicious smile on his face: "You are so sure, you are quite brave."

Even if Hondou Eisuke in the past did not realize what had happened to his family, now that he has contacted Mizunashi Rena, he must understand where the family changes came from.

My sister and father were both engaged in this dangerous intelligence work, and my father was unable to leave any message to his family until his death.

With so many concerns, Hondou Eisuke was able to figure out the problem in one night, and then approached Tang Ze, the most "suspicious" person, without hesitation. The courage required behind this was enormous.

Especially, after he actually had a way out.

"...You didn't deny what I said." Hondou Eisuke raised his lips and smiled triumphantly, "You do know something, right?"

"Almost." Tang Ze used a vague word and asked back, "You have already contacted your sister, and you still come to me to talk about this issue. What are you going to do? What are your plans?"

As they were talking, the traffic light at the crosswalk turned green. Tang Ze turned around and continued walking forward with Hondou Eisuke.

If we consider Hondou Eisuke as an undercover agent, he actually has a pretty good foundation.

He is insightful, has decision-making and execution abilities, is not stupid, has a very deceptive appearance and very deceptive acting skills, and does have some talent.

Considering that his family is almost full of loyal and brave people, this guy's goal will probably be a similar career.

Having said that, if he really doesn't want to leave, his position and choice will be more subtle...

Not knowing that Tang Ze had already made up a career plan for him in his mind, Hondou Eisuke scratched his head and sighed in annoyance.

He finally found his sister who had been lost for so many years, and he really didn't want to leave like this.

But if you have other plans...

"I'm not sure either." Hondou Eisuke lowered his voice unconsciously, as if he lacked confidence in his words. "You should know something about my sister. Once I choose to accept the status quo and leave here safely, I will hear from her again..."

…Maybe it’s time for her to sacrifice or die.

Hondou Eisuke did not say this cruel possibility, but Tang Ze could hear his subtext without him explaining it.

"Compared to what she is going to do, compared to the price she has already paid, my willingness is only a very small factor. But as long as I think about the long wait before leaving here..." Hondou Eisuke took a deep breath, "...I feel fear."

Yes, fear.

In his short life, the word "waiting" has occupied too much weight.

Waiting for treatment, waiting for recovery, waiting for the return of loved ones who have left home, and then waiting for news that is far away...

Compared with such a lonely life, the bad luck that never goes smoothly seems like a preview of fate, making him always prepare for the most pessimistic and worst-case scenarios, that is, the future he expects is always difficult to come as expected.

His luck was really bad, so if the good result he expected didn't happen this time...

"My luck is always bad, and I often don't get the chance to choose." In the end, Hondou Eisuke just said, "I really envy Detective Maori. It's a good thing to be lucky."

Tang Ze raised his eyebrows and understood a little bit what Hondou Eisuke was thinking.

For this guy who is always in a passive environment and has no right to choose, so he can only attribute all misfortunes to bad luck, setting out to Tokyo and taking the risk to find his lost relatives is one of the rare initiatives in his life.

Once he gives up this option, he will not be able to choose a better path next time. He can only choose a less bad path to reduce losses.

Agreeing to the FBI plan might indeed be safer, and would provide some security for the future, and perhaps even allow me to keep in touch with my sister occasionally, but this would be tantamount to putting myself as a hostage to my sister in the hands of someone who is not entirely friendly.

If one day, the FBI has disagreements or even conflicts with his sister, then his existence will become a bargaining chip to threaten Rena Mizunashi.

If he disagrees with the FBI's plan, it will be difficult for him to stay in Tokyo.

The similar appearance may be related to Ethan Hondou's life experience. Coupled with his lack of professional skills and the fact that he is even weaker than ordinary people, staying in Tokyo may only add more worries and burdens to Mizunashi Rena.

However, leaving Tokyo and Japan will mean facing endless waiting and silence.

"...Okay, so you came to me because you want me to provide you with new options? You want to stay, learn or grow, and do something for her?"

"Too naive, isn't it?"

"Maybe a little bit." Standing in front of the Polo Cafe, Tang Ze turned his head and said, "However, if people of this age don't even have a little bit of innocence and impulsiveness, then they really have no advantages."

Hondou Eisuke was stunned by the unexpectedly gentle answer.

Tang Ze didn't wait for his reply, but reached out and pushed open the door of the cafe.

"I'm back, Ms. Enomoto, Mr. Amuro."

"Welcome back. Hey, are there any classmates coming to eat with you today?"

"Yes, he's a classmate." Tang Ze said, and then he glanced at Amuro Toru, whose expression was becoming subtle and slowly narrowing his eyes, and said seriously, "He's a very smart and good student. Do you mind bringing his lunch, Mr. Amuro?"

Toru Amuro, who always felt that Karasawa's words were a double entendre: "..."

----

"Smart and studious? Really? I don't think I'm that way at all." After hearing what Rum said, Xingchuan Hui pulled the corners of his mouth with a forced smile, "If I really had a strong learning ability, I wouldn't have waited until today to be valued." The sound of Rum puffing out cigarettes came from the receiver, and there was no answer for a while.

Based on his special background, it is hard to doubt Xingchuan Hui's loyalty to the organization.

From the perspective of the organization, he is similar to Curacao. He was carefully selected, trained and promoted by the organization.

With their special backgrounds and dark resumes, they are no longer able to escape the shadow of the organization. Coupled with long-term drug control, they are the most satisfied knives of the organization. Almost no one would suspect that there is anything wrong with members of their identities.

It was pure accident, an unpredictable fate and miracle that Tang Ze discovered him and chose to bring him out. In addition, from beginning to end, even if he occasionally showed disobedience, he never disobeyed the organization's orders. It was impossible for the organization to predict his change in position.

Except for a psychopath like Rum, no one would doubt Kumail's loyalty... Even Gin wouldn't be good...

Although he was full of complaints, Xingchuan Hui's answer was still unambiguous: "Why do you doubt this? Do you have any doubts about me?"

Hearing his innocent voice on the other end of the phone, Rum's eyes twitched.

What else could it be? Of course it was because of Scobin’s ridiculous confession.

Regarding the part about the zoo, this is the information that the adult and the research team wanted, so there is not much to say. However, the information they obtained about how Scobin was caught is very intriguing.

According to Scobin's confession, her abilities are difficult to replicate, and the zoo's true core members are actually very few in number, much fewer than the organization's codename members.

Because their leader was selected based on the special purpose of "theft of treasures", and there are only a handful of people who have the ability, interest and ability to provide help in this regard, while possessing special powers. She doesn't know how she was selected by the zoo, let alone the standards.

In other words, the organization's attempt to find the secret of this ability in the human body, to discover and further develop these powers, has failed again.

Curacao, and Kumail, remain special cases.

But in the second half of the story, things get a little weird.

"I know that, just like Curacao can use her magical eyes to memorize things, you also have your own way to easily break down a person's defenses and make them uncontrollably and actively speak out their true thoughts..."

After a while of thinking, I realized that he was talking about the kind of situation where the detective reveals the truth of the case and the suspect kneels on the ground and tells the truth: "..."

Really? Is this something in Kumail's setting? Why does he feel that the shorty was in the same atmosphere when he was solving the case?

"...I heard from Gin that as long as you maintain eye contact with someone, there is a high probability that you can break through their resistance and make them tell the truth. You are a genius in torture."

Knowing that he was talking about Tang Ze that day when he pinched Motobashi Yoji's neck and asked questions, Hoshikawa Teru: "..."

"And you didn't have this ability from the beginning, otherwise you wouldn't have needed to use such troublesome means."

"...It's also possible that I just want to torture him to death." Xingchuan Hui finally found a sentence to say, and showed dead fish eyes, and imitated Tang Ze's tone skillfully, "Isn't it more interesting to have a chance to cut a person into pieces than to ask the answer directly?"

Rum laughed, as if he had guessed that he would evade the question, and changed the subject: "Okay, let's assume that what you said is true. What do you think about Scobin's confession?"

Xingchuan Hui, who had already turned to the end of the document, pressed his forehead.

He did not lie about his Russian language skills. He did know Russian because he lived with his mother in a nomadic environment when he was a child. However, due to the lack of a Russian-speaking environment, his reading ability was average.

While he was talking nonsense, he had already finished reading the information in his hand and guessed what Rum meant.

"You think I'm hiding something about how to bring her back to the organization?"

Scobin, the man who had seen the Joker himself and was taken away by him to the cognitive world, was handed over to the organization, and they must have dealt with him.

The means are the same as always, Asai Narimi is the front-end, the magic camera is the back-end, and Fudo Kyosuke has carefully selected it, you deserve it.

So much time has passed, but when Kyosuke Fudo mentions the word "Karazawa", gibberish comes out of his mouth. Scobin is even less resistant than him, and it's a great effort for him to be able to speak a complete sentence.

Naturally, what ended up on paper were a bunch of bizarre descriptions.

What demon came out of the fire, what pushed her into heaven, she threw herself into the arms of the Lord, returned to the world from death and resentment, blabla...

In fact, Joker grabbed her and walked through the sea of ​​fire into Scobin's own palace. After discovering that the egg of memory was placed under someone's castle, her ability was not inferior to that of Pramya, and the speed of the crazy palace changed was also very fast. Then she jumped into the coffin from the statue in the tomb, ran directly to the ground through the fast lane, threw her to the teammates waiting outside the castle, and Tangze jumped back by himself.

After being distorted by cognition, the word order and expression have become completely different, and it looks like crazy nonsense no matter how you look at it.

"Don't you?" Rum asked back, "Since you knew you would need to hand her over to the organization next, why did you use your power to destroy her brain?"

This shows that the method Kumail used to take Scobin away was somewhat special, and he did not want to reveal this method to the organization.

"What are you hiding, Kumail?" Rumm touched his still aching eye sockets and pulled the corner of his mouth, "Is it something that needs to be kept secret?"

After waking up, Rum had gone through the entire process of becoming irritable and anxious and then slowly calming down.

Curacao is his other eye. Since he foresightedly brought Curacao under his command, he has not experienced this real feeling of blindness for a long time.

So no matter what, it was difficult for him to completely ignore the description of how Kumail besieged Pramya that he saw before Curacao lost consciousness.

——Just when Curacao was trying to find Kumail in Shibuya, she was caught in the explosion and lost consciousness.

Is this really something that a normal explosion can do? Or has someone seen through his connection with Curacao?

"...There's nothing to hide, Mr. Rum." Xingchuan Hui lowered his eyes and spoke the truth, "To be honest, if you are really curious, I don't mind taking you to experience it yourself..."

If we have to say what exactly happened to Curacao, apart from the external force of the explosion, she just traveled back and forth from the palace to the cognitive world to reality a few times.

It turns out that not everyone can withstand this level of impact.

"If you really dare to do so."
