The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Isn't it over yet?" Tangze, leaning on the sofa on the first floor, said in an erratic tone of despair, "I can't draw any more."

"Stop talking, your drawing will be crooked if you move!" With quick eyes and hands, she held Karasawa's head. Miyano Akemi smoothly wrote "Idiot" before closing the cap of the marker with satisfaction. Admiring his own masterpiece.

"Hey..." Feeling the cold pen marks on his face, Tang Ze wanted to reach out and wipe it twice. Seeing Miyano Akemi's staring eyes, he gave up the idea of ​​​​moving, spread his hands, and let them continue. painting.

"Okay!" After repeatedly tracing all the strokes on Karasawa's forehead, especially the thick "bastard", Hoshikawa Teru took back the pen tip with satisfaction, "You have to carry this with you until at least noon to wash it off, you agree. of."

"Hey." He sighed again. Seeing Noah in his puppet form holding a marker and drawing crooked lines on his face, Tang Ze said helplessly, "If you do this, I will be misunderstood again. Bullied..."

"Isn't that just right? You look like you really like playing this kind of image." He wrote "Troublemaker" on Karasawa's cheekbones and drew an arrow. Asai Naomi also put down his pen and said, "This Didn’t I provide you with good material?”

"Okay, okay... Noah, have you finished drawing..." Feeling a crooked mark on his cheek, Tang Ze protested, "It's very itchy."

"It'll be ready soon!" Noah floated up proudly, once again put pen to Tang Ze's mouth, drew a slanted line, and then handed the highlighter in his hand to Xingchuan Hui next to him, and looked at Tang Ze Ze's face was messed up by them, and a happy smile appeared on Flannel's face.

He stood up and looked at his face through the full-length mirror. Karasawa touched the tip of his nose, which was the only one that was clean. He stood there and let Miyano Akemi take two photos. He looked at his watch and picked up his own. Commuting bag.

He didn't want to go out like this, but several teammates thought that simply cutting him would not be a good deterrent, and he should be given some punishment that would leave a deep impression on him.

He had to go to the cafe. Toru Amuro had something to talk to him about at noon, Akechi had work to do in the afternoon, and so did Kumail... so there was no way he could escape this disaster.

"Be safe on the road, and don't be seen by others." Miyano Akemi, who smiled gently, said in a tone that was completely opposite to the content. In and out of her words, she was looking forward to more masterpieces from them. It means the better people see it.

Generally speaking, such good wishes are easy to come true, so when he stepped into the cafe and found that not only his upstairs neighbors, but also Suzuki Sonoko and even Judy were there, Karasawa's expression was indifferent.

They all walked all the way from 2-chome, and when they looked away, they looked away.

"Wow, Karasawa, what are you..." Looking at the graffiti on Karasawa's face in surprise, Suzuki Sonoko honestly raised her phone and took a photo.

Not just her, but after several other people saw Karasawa's face clearly, even Azusa Enomoto who was standing behind the bar, they all took pictures of the very conspicuous graffiti on Karasawa's face.

Touching the dried pen mark on his face, Karasawa looked at Judy's playful eyes and said without hesitation: "Akechi did it."

"Yes, really?" His eyes passed over the words "idiot" in round fonts on Karasawa's face, as well as the lines like fluorescent cat whiskers. The corner of Suzuki Sonoko's mouth twitched, and she reluctantly answered, "Then, he still has , quite childlike..."

"Sneeze!" He was looking at the photos taken by several people on his mobile phone, in which Tang Ze's face was painted in a mess. Xingchuan Hui frowned and pinched his itchy nose, and said decisively, "It must be Kara Ze again." You’re talking about me. Naughty leader!”

————

"Going to a hot spring hotel?" Karasawa, who was eating a sandwich in his hand, slowed down his chewing speed and listened intently to the chatter of his neighbors. "Didn't you say you were going skiing or something..."

"I have this plan to go skiing." Suzuki Sonoko said hesitantly, glanced at Karasawa and Mao Lilan who were sitting on the left and right, and lowered her voice, "But it's better to be later. Going skiing is a long journey. You two should go have a good rest first and think about this later."

She originally planned to make an appointment with Mao Lilan and Tang Ze to go to a suitable ski resort after the teacher's wedding.

However, last time, the reason why the game did not happen, and the method to finally achieve the game, were too hard-core, so now when she thinks of going out with Karasawa Xiaoran, her mind will start to replay shootings, amnesia, kidnapping, chasing, etc. A police blockbuster with all the elements.

Although the ending is good, the time spent playing in the amusement park with Xiaolan was also very enjoyable... She should wait for this exciting experience before coming back.

Not feeling the lingering fear of her best friend, Mao Lilan looked at Karasawa, who still had gauze on his neck, and responded hurriedly: "Well, it just so happens that dad is going to a party, and you can come and relax... Well, if you go to Tochigi Prefecture , do you need to make a special report?"

"Tochigi Prefecture..." Karasawa, who combined several keywords and quickly retrieved the corresponding content, blinked, and nodded when facing the expectant eyes of the two girls, "I'll contact the police officer in charge to discuss it. Well, um, it probably has nothing to do with it. You said this is a party that Uncle Maori is going to attend? What is it like? "

"It's a very healthy party. Don't worry, I've fully recovered. I won't let dad touch those things." Mao Lilan naturally understood his problem to Maori Kogoro's situation, and ambitiously held his hand. Sleeves, "I've heard about it, dad secretly drank. That's why you come here with us this time."

"And if you are here, it will be easier to take care of this kid." Suzuki Sonoko glanced coolly at Conan, who was holding a cup and drinking juice, and abruptly interjected.

"Take care of me?" Conan, who was not listening at all seriously, looked up blankly.

"Hot spring trip, hot spring!" secretly clenching her fists, Suzuki Sonoko squinted her eyes unkindly and stared at Conan's expression, "Children in elementary school have already begun to fall in love early, should they understand the difference between men and women?"

"...Ah..." It took him a while to understand the logic of Suzuki Sonoko's words. Conan's face turned red visibly at a rapid rate. He lowered his head and looked at the cup in front of him, daring not to speak.

"Look. As I said, this kid is not innocent..." Suzuki Sonoko squinted her eyes and observed Conan's appearance with disgust.

Yes, if he went to a hot spring, it would be impossible for him, a first-year elementary school student, to take a bath alone.

Uncle Maori never cares about this kind of thing, so when the time comes, Xiaolan...

"Snapped!"

A slap firmly covered Conan's head, pulling him back from the charming fantasy he was about to fall into.

Turning around, Conan saw Karasawa's funny face covered in graffiti.

Even with the graffiti on his face, Conan could read from Karasawa's eyes a meaningful meaning that you can decide on your own.

"That, that's because, man, I don't know how to take a bath by myself!" Conan, who was full of desire for survival, quickly patched up and said, "I am also a boy, Brother Karasawa, please take me to a hot spring!"

"Well, what you said does make sense, Suzuki-san." He rubbed Conan's short hair with his fingers, and Karasawa replied decisively, "Then I'll go with you this time. Oh, I forgot to ask, What kind of party is Uncle Maori going to? Do I need to go with your car?"

"Come together, there will definitely be room for you." Mao Lilan actively invited, "Dad is going to attend a class reunion. It seems that he is a friend of his in college. They gather at the same place every few years. It’s just a routine relaxation. Too many things have happened recently. If I hadn’t received the call, Dad would have forgotten about it.”

"Well, it's a college reunion..." Tangze, who confirmed the situation, was completely relieved, "The relationship is really good."

We have been away from college for so many years, our children are almost at the age of going to college, and they can still cause grievances that are enough to kill people. How can it not be called a good relationship?

I just don’t know that it is not convenient to locate the shadow situation and respond quickly in a place so far away from Tochigi Prefecture.

However, now that Noah is here, many things that were difficult to deal with suddenly become much easier.

Noah, Normen!

"What's wrong, Noah?" Xingchuan Hui, who was sitting in front of the screen and flipping through a book, raised his eyelids and found that the high-speed program interface on the screen suddenly stopped there, and he couldn't help asking strangely.

After having Noah, Xingchuan Hui suddenly changed from a pitiful operation without sleeping day and night to a leisurely operation and maintenance where he could make tea and watch the computer work on its own. It was just that it was difficult to decide whether to register with Noah. When you change your mind, or don’t know how to answer some strange messages, give the answer leisurely, or pick up the keyboard and strike hard.

Now, not only could he escape from the confusing sea of ​​codes, but he could even have time to study for high school courses.

He had to spend a lot of time working for Tang Ze, so he couldn't just study for the exam blindly. In addition to the physical training that he should do, he should also keep up with the cultural classes.

"This is called artificial intelligence liberating human productivity." Tang Ze summed it up this way.

"I don't know either." Noah's confused voice rang through the speaker, "Well, there is just a feeling that something is very wrong... I can't tell. Is this some kind of human induction?"

"What does it feel like?"

"I can't describe it, um, a feeling of exhaustion where the memory may be overloaded?"

"Oh, maybe Karasawa has some new ideas. Don't worry, there's no point in worrying." After hearing this description, Hoshikawa Hui suddenly lost interest, lowered his head again, and frowned at the mathematical formula.

They are all "dead people" who will be gradually forgotten. Noah, who has disappeared and kept a low profile for a while, is unlikely to have anyone thinking about him so closely.

Anyway, if something goes wrong, I think it's Tang Ze who is acting like a monster. You're right!

Parking the car at the entrance of the cafe, Toru Amuro, who was waiting for the sound of the car door, turned his head and was about to say something. When he saw Karasawa's face, he completely forgot what he wanted to ask.

Whose idea was this? He didn't think Tang Ze's classmates would use this method to tease him.

Could it be Xingchuan Hui? Is that kid who is so daring when he encounters me so silent and eager to find a crack to crawl through?

Unaware that Karasawa's den had newly recruited a very oppressive natural black, Toru Amuro pondered for a moment before asking directly.

"Are you sure you want to go to the office with such a face? You look like you have lost several rounds of cards with a bad friend."

"You sound very experienced." Tang Ze sat down with a blank look on his face, "You can laugh if you want, they have already laughed."

"As long as you meet a friend who loves pranks, your life will be so colorful." Raising his eyebrows and dismissing the topic, Toru Amuro said lightly, "In addition to the commissions to be handled, you also have to contact the organization, face Is it okay if you don’t go and wash it?”

"Since it's 'Akechi' on the stage, I have to disguise myself anyway. It doesn't make any difference whether I have something on my face or not." Tang Ze's expression became even more numb.

Those guys were probably convinced of this, so they insisted on choosing this form of punishment, right?

Well, he is a member of Codename with a vicious heart. Under his disguise mask, he has dark circles under his eyes and a kitten face drawn with a highlighter...

After imagining this scene, Toru Amuro really wanted to laugh.

Deeply understanding that Karasawa was strangely petty at certain moments, Toru Amuro adjusted his breathing and at least did not laugh out loud on the spot, but just made a mental note.

I'll contact Ms. Enomoto soon and ask her if she has any photos.

Being able to record Karasawa's embarrassing moments might increase Team Zero's enthusiasm for working overtime.

"Have you investigated the brainwashing device thoroughly?" Toru Amuro, who had no clue that he had some very immature thoughts running through his mind, asked seriously.

"I almost figured it out." Karasawa swiped his fingertips and sent a document to Toru Amuro's mailbox. "It's difficult to explain clearly in words. I also used part of my father's research records, but it is used by the organization. There are differences in the brainwashing equipment. No wonder the organization has the idea of ​​absorbing him."

Fuudo Kyousuke's academic talent was average, but the things he worked so hard to create didn't even last a night in Haibara Ai's hands. His talent for crime is even worse. His mind is vicious and his knowledge is shallow. In terms of character, he may not be as good as many ordinary Miwa Town murderers.

——At least he has strong moral character and is willing to admit defeat. Most of the cases are motivated by grudges rather than his own criminal desires. Not only will he not single out minors as targets, but he will not stop doing anything to the police and detectives investigating the case. There are even fewer crumbs that are dried together.

However, a wise man will always make mistakes, and a fool will always gain something. Kyosuke Futo's ability in medicine and psychology is undoubtedly better than that of many people. He has been engaged in cognitive psychology research for so long, and the results he has produced are also There's a lot to like about it.

"Does the organization want to absorb his R\u0026D ideas and improve its own brainwashing equipment?" While driving, Toru Amuro glanced at his cell phone with an email notification tone. He did not distract himself from browsing, and relied on his intuition to judge, "The organization's R\u0026D Is there any essential difference between the route and his?"

"I have probably seen two types of brainwashing instruments of the organization so far. The first one is the 'cocoon' of Noah's Ark." Recalling the experience of the holographic game conference, Tang Ze said with emotion, "It also uses In the process of receiving information for a long time, human senses unconsciously implant hints into human consciousness.”

However, in the end, it in turn facilitated Noah's Ark. In the subconscious of those 50 children, an instinctive resistance and aversion to the concept of organization was implanted, achieving Noah's Ark's silent plan to "save the next generation." …

It's quite a dramatic development.

"As for the other kind, I think I've seen it before, but maybe I don't remember it." Karasawa's smile faded, and his eyes slowly darkened, "I deliberately let Fuudo Kyousuke do this this time. Trying to figure out what that instrument was doing to me."

Toru Amuro glanced at Karasawa's expression and relaxed his toes on the accelerator.

Yesterday, they had discussed this issue. In his opinion, false and blank memories were a different kind of trauma for Tangze.

This guy who always likes to make many plans and is unwilling to face the loss of control must not be able to tolerate a phantom created by others in his mind.

"So, the one used by Kyousuke Futo, is it different from these two types of instruments?" With a light gesture of his hand and a slight turn in his words, Toru Amuro changed the topic directly to Futo. Regarding Kyosuke, "Does he have his own tricks?"

"Well, he's a bit more perverted. He used the same principle that my father used to treat me to create memory modifications that must be awakened using specific phrases or visuals... It's similar to hypnosis." Thinking of after falling down, The bright and clear white light flashed in front of his eyes, and the deep blue color that followed, Tang Ze raised the corner of his mouth, "Use it properly, it might really be able to modify your personality. If you ask me to evaluate, this is the correct brainwashing." The organization has only discovered him now, and it can be said to be slow."

Is it the right path...?

Thinking of the materials he had read recently in order to understand the research route that the organization had been studying for a long time, Toru Amuro read some mocking sadness in this sentence.

Karasawa Ikawa, no matter how weird or even extreme his theories or himself are, one thing that cannot be denied is that he is a doctor.

For doctors, the initial purpose of studying a subject is usually very simple.

For healing.

"Finding ways to modify personality and save souls" is the starting point of this entire line of research.

And Tang Zehe...

"Okay, we're here." Pressing the brakes lightly, Toru Amuro gathered his thoughts and spoke out to wake up Karasawa, who seemed to be also deep in thought.

There is not much time left for emotions, and the work of the undercovers is very busy.

"arrive."

"Well, please." Pulling away from many memories, Belmod raised his head and looked at the respectful man in the front seat. He smiled modestly, straightened his suit, and said in a low male voice, "Excuse me, please." Came here specially to pick me up. Is Director Odagiri here?"
