Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 389 Neighborhood Committee Coordinator Tang Ze (July Monthly Ticket Plus 7)

"...So, that's it." Sitting opposite Mori Kogoro's desk, Tang Ze said earnestly, "Student Lan feels that joker's warning is actually talking about your bad habits, not reminding you to pay attention to safety .He was saying, 'If you don't change, he's going to do it'."

Mori Kogoro heard the corners of his eyes twitching.

His eyes slowly passed over the faces of the serious-looking daughter and the bear child, and then carefully looked at Tang Ze who was sitting for a long time, and hissed hiss like a toothache.

"You guys..." He clenched his fists, and in the face of the well-behaved neighbor's children, at least he controlled his emotions, and squeezed out a few words through his teeth, "What are you thinking about, that joker told me You guys?"

Mao Lilan crossed her hips and stared: "Dad! It will be too late when the joker comes to tell you in person, and you will receive the notice letter!"

"Hey! I'm just, um, some adults will behave normally. Isn't that joker specially watching criminals from all walks of life? How could it be on my head!" Thinking of the card brought back by Mao Lilan, Now that the notice letter was lying on the bottom of the drawer, he felt a little guilty, but he still retorted harshly, "You guys, don't make a fuss!"

"Dad, you haven't checked their website at all, have you?" Mao Lilan, who didn't budge, took a step forward with her arms folded, "They will now screen one by one according to the order of nominations on the website. To the point of committing a crime, it may just be a conflict or a personality problem, and it is also targeted by the Phantom Thieves."

"Yeah, Uncle Maori, if you don't correct it properly, then we'll find a few more people to write your name on the website together." Conan, who was leaning on the edge of the table, chimed in, "The members of the Phantom Thieves will do it no matter what. Noticed you!"

"Hey——" Mori Kogoro raised his voice, "So, why do you have to...!"

"Tell you to drink less, don't gamble, I've said it more than once!" Mao Lilan also raised her voice, "It's because you are so perfunctory every time, always saying what children know, or just saying something, mom That’s why I’m so angry and refuse to go home!”

"I...!" Hearing Mori Ran mention Fei Yingli, Mori Kogoro lost his temper and his voice dropped.

After staring at his resolute daughter for a while, Mori Kogoro felt his daughter's serious emotions, and pressed his throbbing temple, not sure whether the neuralgia was due to a hangover or the development in front of him .

"Huh—" He let out a long breath, and his strength seemed to be vented with this breath, and he slumped back and leaned on the office chair, "If that strange thief can really do this, let him Come on."

Alcohol is bad for health. Alcohol is eroding his youthful body little by little. Gambling is even more bottomless. It makes him reach middle age, and his savings are still so small that he has been separated from his wife for many years, and he still needs money from time to time. Accept her offer...

Doesn't he know that these things are harmful?
Of course he knows, even because of his professional experience, he has faced many dark sides of human nature, and he knows very well what will happen to those who are addicted to these things.

But the question is, if you can simply refuse the temptation and fight against human nature, people, how can there be so many troubles?

"Father!" Seeing Kogoro Moori's broken jars, as if I couldn't do it anyway, Mao Lilan was so angry that she clenched her fists and was about to smash him on the table.

"Student Lan, student Lan! Well, don't be too angry, I'll talk to Mr. Mao Li." Tang Ze quickly grabbed Mao Lilan's wrist, "We agreed before. If Mr. Mao Li refuses to cooperate , No matter how hard you think about it, it’s useless.”

Mao Lilan withdrew her clenched hands, looked at Tang Ze's expression, thought of the strategy they had discussed earlier, and nodded heavily.

Conan, who was led by her to leave the office and go upstairs, couldn't help turning his head before the door of the office closed, and carefully looked at Tang Ze's figure with his back facing the door for a while.

For Xiaolan's request, Tang Ze actually accepted such a troublesome task of communicating with Uncle Mao Li...

You must know that it will be even more difficult for this third party who is sandwiched between children and parents and does not have authority in itself to be responsible for communication and coordination. It's difficult to speak out.

This guy Tang Ze...

Regarding this question, you have to ask Tang Ze what he thinks...

Helping people to the end, sending Buddha to the west, Tang Ze, who is ready to be a coordinator of the neighborhood committee, is full of awareness about this.

After the door behind him was completely closed, Tang Ze raised his head after he had collected his thoughts, put away the gentle and harmless smile on his face, and turned serious.

There is a pair of Tang Ze with raised cat eyes. When they stare straight ahead with a blank expression like this, the people who are watching can't help but feel a sense of crisis, just like a precursor to facing an attack.

This is how Mori Kogoro feels now. Originally, he still had some idea of ​​using words to fool children. Under this kind of gaze, he had to restrain himself, relax his sitting posture, and sit upright.

"Mr. Maori..." Tang Ze said with a sigh of relief, "It is very difficult to get rid of the desire that has been unleashed for a long time, and to say goodbye to the previous indulgent habits. I don't think you wanted to do this on purpose Life—you know, whether it’s drinking or gambling, these are bad habits that can hurt your loved ones as well as yourself. But it’s really not as simple as saying a word or two to get rid of it completely .”

I don't know if it was in Tang Ze's mind, Mori Kogoro's face tensed slightly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Student Lan may be a little aggressive today, but I guess it's because she was frightened, and she couldn't express her anxious mood." First, Tang Ze mentioned Mao Lilan in the second sentence after playing up the terrifying emotion. "We were out of school today, and we ran into a conflict that almost turned into a murder case. The root cause of the conflict between the two was that the man was deeply involved in gambling, and his huge gambling debts brought down his partner. The other party who had a conflict with him, It's his girlfriend's brother."

Hiding the roles played by several of them in the story, Tang Ze emphasized the women who were devastated by gambling debts and their lives were gloomy, and put an accent on the word "partner".

Regarding this question... Tang Ze really felt that Fei Yingli had done her best to Mori Kogoro.

He still remembered a case in a plot he had seen before.

As a result of receiving a commission with a good salary, Mori Kogoro squandered the deposit paid by the client, and lost a large sum of money in a short period of time.

He also signed an employment contract with a high penalty in advance, so when the case became difficult, because the deposit could not be refunded, he had no way to turn down the commission and had to ask Fei Yingli for help.

No matter from which angle you look at this plot, Mori Kogoro's behavior is extremely excessive. He squandered his money, and in the end, it was someone else who paid the price.

Concerned about Fei Yingli, whose relationship has always been broken, she had to put down work to clean up the aftermath.

Sure enough, after listening to Tang Ze's summary, Mori Kogoro's expression froze instantly.

"That girl, in order to repay the money, worked day and night, and cut down on food and clothing. However, her income from a month of hard work can only be used for him for one day... Just listening to her brother's few words of accusation, we will all feel angry and angry. I can't bear it. I think Lan must have thought of a lot of things." When Tang Ze said this, he calmed down and said directly, "She is probably rejoicing that Ms. Fei Yingli is a high-income earner. Lawyer, don't be crushed by arrears to such a hopeless situation."
