Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 276 We Can Only Save People's Hearts, Not Causes and Effects

"What is it, you still look like a child."

"Huh?" Mori Kogoro, who was pushed aside, raised his eyebrows, and turned his head to look at his daughter's expression.

"Conan." Mao Lilan pointed to Conan who was surrounded by a group of people, touching his head and pinching his face, "He doesn't look like a child at ordinary times, and compared to his classmates, he seems to be the same as Tang Ze is a little more familiar with it."

She didn't say what she said later.

Whether it is that children are too precocious and withdrawn, that leaving their parents may cause certain psychological problems, or other more absurd guesses... It would be rude to say it directly.

She skipped over these messy thoughts, and then said: "It seems that Conan just has a special hobby. His classmates are not old enough to read mystery novels, so they don't have a chance to talk to them. But this point is really related to That guy looks like..."

"That guy?" Kogoro Mori, who wasn't very breezy, gave her a sideways look.

"That's the one, who is proud and likes to be handsome..."

"Holmes is deeply obsessed, and he is an amateur in reasoning and a music fanatic. The most important thing is that after winning a round with me, his whereabouts became a mystery..." A voice came from behind and caught Mao Lilan's words, "Kudo Shinichi, Right?"

"Hey, Hattori-kun?" Startled by the sudden voice, Mourilan turned around and saw Hattori Heiji's iconic black face.

Conan, who finally broke free from the hands of a group of uncles and aunts, couldn't help turning his head to look over.

"Are you a Sherlock Holmes fan too?" Mao Lilan nodded her cheeks, and couldn't help but wonder if she was making a fuss. Maybe young detectives admire Holmes more?

"Well..." Hattori Heiji secretly glanced at the other people in the field.

Although it wasn't Conan and his car, he also felt the bewilderment of this group of people.

The strong desire to survive made him take a step closer, and he only whispered to Mao Lilan: "I am here to find Kudo. Activities related to Sherlock Holmes, no matter how you look at it, he will be interested, right?"

In the end, Kudo's girlfriend's family came...

Hattori Heiji sighed sadly when he thought of the spot he had finally managed to get by flipping through "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" overnight.

He obviously likes Ellery Quinn better, but in order to block Kudo once, he read works that he doesn't like so much by heart...

Lost.

"Hmm!" Coughing, attracting everyone's attention, the organizer Hiroyuki Kanaya pointed to the clock above his head, "Since everyone is here, let's explain the schedule for these two days. Today is relatively late Now, everyone can go back to the room early to rest, tomorrow after dinner, we will start our annual routine highlight - super difficult reasoning question and answer session!"

Hiroyuki Kanaya waved his hand, and Hitomi Iwai, the waiter with freckles on his face, put on his gloves knowingly, and carefully picked up the things in the box behind him.

"Those who get full marks can get the first edition of Sherlock Holmes's rare book—"A Study in Scarlet"!"

Conan's gaze focused on the book for the first time.

A Study in Scarlet was not originally published as a booklet, but was published in Beeton's Christmas Almanac in 1887.

Because of the popularity of the work, the following year, the single edition of "A Study in Scarlet Letters" was released. There are very few surviving works, and it is more difficult to obtain than the published work that just came out.

Even with Kudo Yusaku's financial resources and contacts, their family only has one copy of the 100 edition of "A Study in Scarlet", which was later reproduced by the British Sherlock Holmes Association to commemorate the 88th anniversary of Holmes' last case.

Beaton's Christmas Almanac has a record of being sold at auction for £20, so this, 88, is the real first edition of the book...

For a moment, the eyes of the entire hotel were focused on the old book cover without taking their eyes off it.

Feeling the hot and envious eyes, Kanaya Hiroyuki straightened his back, enjoying the attention.

In fact, rather than gathering fellow enthusiasts to exchange ideas, his biggest motivation for holding events every year is for this moment.

Feeling a sense of accomplishment amid a small exclamation, Hiroyuki Kanaya continued: "Before starting the question and answer, everyone, please prove that your love and admiration for Sherlock Holmes prove that you are qualified to obtain this rare book." .”

"Proof?" Mori Kogoro, the only one in the audience who was out of condition, touched his head, "Do I want it too?"

"You are a special guest, you just need to participate in the Q&A, and give comments and speeches to the event at the end." Kanaya Hiroyuki signaled the waiter to distribute questionnaires to everyone, and he took a copy in his hand and weighed it, "Of course , if you are interested in participating, it is also a great honor..."

"This is?"

"This is a large questionnaire that I carefully screened and produced, "1000 Questions of Sherlock Holmes"! Please submit the written questionnaire before dinner tomorrow. Only those with a total score of 990 points or more are eligible to participate in the after-dinner interview." Reasoning question and answer." The complacent Kanaya Hiroyuki waved the document in his hand.

It was a thick stack, and there were at least thirty or forty sheets of questionnaires at first glance, which made Mori Kogoro completely silent.

"The questionnaire will be corrected by me personally, but I'll say something ugly," Hiroyuki Kanaya puffed up his chest, but because of his figure, it seemed that he just puffed out his belly, "My activities are for If you entertain real Sherlock Holmes fans, if you can't reach 900 points...get the hell out of my hotel!"

His eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, crossed the bored Hattori Heiji.

Hattori Heiji secretly rolled his eyes, but honestly accepted the questionnaire sent to him by the waiter.

"Everyone understands the preciousness of the first edition, so for the sake of caution, please hand over your mobile phones and related books with you to Hitomi. We don't want anyone to use cheating methods. However, it doesn't matter if you don't hand them over. We have installed monitors in each room, please answer the questions within the shooting range of the surveillance cameras." Hiroyuki Kanaya made a gesture and asked Hitomi Iwai to hold the tray and receive all the things submitted by the guests.

"It's really troublesome..." Mori Kogoro sighed, and he didn't mean to be out of place. He also took out his mobile phone and put it in the tray.

"This is an invasion of privacy." Maria Toda muttered, glanced at the phone that vibrated due to the incoming call, but honestly handed in the phone and the Sherlock Holmes-related books in the bag.

Hattori Heiji, who opened the backpack and took out the book, couldn't help but glance at the mobile phone she took out.

Unlike her style of wearing gold and silver, with rings all over her hands, what this aunt took out was a very business-like, simple black model, which was completely different from her dressing style.

He thought that for this kind of person, the general mobile phone case would go for a gorgeous style full of rhinestones or silk.

Is he too stereotyped?
"It doesn't matter. Boss Kanaya will only take pictures of the desk in the house. You just need to sit in front of the desk and write." Kento Toba, who has participated in the event more than once, shrugged indifferently.

Conan took the thick questionnaire, smelled the fragrance of ink on the paper, and couldn't help smiling.

This is great, even if he is a child, if he answered the question correctly, no one would question him, right?

"Why is Xing Chuan so sleepy?" Sitting in the car, Tang Ze couldn't help asking, looking at Xing Chuan Hui, whose glasses were hanging on the side and unconscious in the back seat.

"He said he couldn't update a function on the webpage, so he went to the subway to look for Jiang Yuan Tokio, and these days he was bored at home watching the front-end courses." He glanced in the rearview mirror and lay there unconsciously, even if Tang Ze Miyano Akemi shook his head helplessly for Xing Chuanhui, who was not woken up by the sound of opening the door and getting into the car, "He is doing most of the manual screening work of Kaitou CH, probably because he didn't sleep well yesterday."

After observing Xing Chuanhui for a while, he indeed saw a piece of black and blue under his eyelids, Tang Ze had a rare conscience to find out and reflect on it.

Otherwise, ask Dr. A Li if he knows any programmers who accept outsourcing.

Their Phantom Thieves is not a vocational training class. After joining the Phantom Thieves for a year, the members of the group successfully went from being unemployed to becoming a glorious code farmer. What does it look like?
"Anyway, there's still a little distance on the road, so I'll let him fall asleep in the car and call him when we get there." Akemi Miyano, wearing a mask, let go of the brakes, stepped on the accelerator, and headed towards Furutani Rei. The car drove in the completely opposite direction, "Ah Zhao, you said you didn't care about this matter, did you?"

"It's true that I don't really want to control them, but they are just a little bit crazy, and the crime is not worthy of death." Tang Ze operated the mobile phone and began to enter names one by one, "I don't guarantee that if we act, they will not kill each other. "

"Even if the twisted desire disappears?"

"Even if the distorted desire disappears. Good and evil, right and wrong, have nothing to do with a person's character. Their ending is doomed when the cause occurs. Therefore, in many vendettas, even the murderer is the most sober one. We change our minds. You can tell how many people are murderers and how many are the intended dead, sister." Looking at the street scene that was constantly receding in the night, Tang Ze said lightly, "We can only save people's hearts, not people's hearts. Cause and effect, don’t force a happy ending.”

Miyano Akemi glanced at his expression, her lips under the mask hooked.

With such heartless words, if it really doesn't matter, why bother to drive all night?
Although the joker image used by Tang Ze to the public is exaggerated and distorted, and does not completely match him, what he may not have noticed is that when he was active as a joker, there were more or less leaks out of some of their own ideas.

The so-called "cutting the cycle of evil" speech, to a certain extent, did represent Tang Ze's thoughts.

He only prevents unnecessary misunderstandings and redeemable grievances, and sometimes even allows crimes to happen, and he highly approves of the concept of blood revenge.

Looking at what he did for Xing Chuanhui, it is not difficult to find this.

After all, let the sinner who has not been punished by the law die under the knife of the victim's anger, isn't it cutting off the crime?
　Someone reminded me that the group is full, I checked, there are 200 people
　　It has reached 500 people, and now it is wider
