The 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 were 'someone over there,' you wouldn't have to do anything. Just hearing me say I was looking for my long-lost sister, who looks a lot like Mizunashi Reina, would have been enough to cause trouble. Now, since neither she nor I are in trouble, it means there's nothing untrustworthy about you."

Acting cautiously does not mean questioning everyone. Moreover, after discovering Rena Mizunashi's new movements, he decided to come to Tokyo, which 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 was not aware of what had happened to his family in the past, after contacting Mizunashi Rena now, 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 go to Tang Ze, the most "suspicious" person, without hesitation. The courage behind this is enormous.

Especially since 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, don't you?"

"About the same." Tang Ze used a vague word and asked back, "You've 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 speaking, 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 smart, has a very deceptive appearance and very deceptive acting skills, and is quite talented.

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 current situation and leave here for safety, I will hear from her again..."

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

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

"Compared to what she's about to do, compared to the price she's already paid, my wishes are only a tiny factor. But whenever 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 loved ones who have left home to return, and then waiting for news that seems to be far away...

Compared with such a lonely life, the bad luck that never goes well 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 this time also didn't happen...

"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 really a good thing to be lucky."

Tang Ze raised his eyebrows and began to understand Hondou Eisuke's thoughts a little.

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 already a rare initiative 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. Perhaps I could even get in touch with my sister occasionally. However, 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 and his sister have disagreements or even conflicts, 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 is likely 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 offer you new options? You want to stay, learn or grow, and do something for her?"

"That's pretty naive, isn't it?"

"Maybe a little." Standing in front of the Polo Cafe, Tang Ze turned around and said, "However, if people of this age don't even have a little bit of innocence and impulsiveness, then they really don't have any strengths."

Hondou Eisuke was stunned by the unexpectedly gentle answer.

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

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

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

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

Amuro Toru always felt that Tang Ze's words were a double entendre: "..."

----

"Smart and studious? Really? I don't think I'm that at all." After hearing what Rum said, Xingchuan Hui twitched his lips with a forced smile, "If I was really a good student, I wouldn't have waited until today to be valued."

There was the sound of Rum puffing cigarettes through the receiver, and for a moment there was no answer.

Based on his special background, it is difficult to doubt Xingchuan Teru'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.

Their special backgrounds and dark resumes have made them inseparable from 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 chance, 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 of position.

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

Although he was full of the desire to complain, Xingchuan Hui's answer was still unambiguous: "Why would you doubt such a question? 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, but the information they obtained about how Scott was caught is very intriguing.

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

Because their leader was selected based on the special purpose of "theft of treasures", there are only a handful of people who have the ability, interest and ability to provide help in this area, as long as they have special powers. She doesn't know how she was selected by the zoo, and there is no way to talk about 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 account, things got a little strange.

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

After a moment's reflection, he realized he was talking about the kind of situation where a detective reveals the truth of a case, and the suspect falls to his knees and spills the beans: "..."

Really? Is this something in Kumail's setting? Why does he feel that the same atmosphere exists when the dwarf solves the case?

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

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

"And this ability wasn't possessed from the beginning. Otherwise, you wouldn't have needed to resort to such troublesome methods."

"... Or maybe I just wanted to torture him to death." Hoshikawa Teru, finally finding something to say, let out a dead look and expertly imitated Tang Ze's tone, "Wouldn't it be more interesting to have the chance to chop someone into pieces rather than just asking for the answer directly?"

Rum chuckled, as if anticipating his evasion, and changed the subject: "Okay, let's assume that what you said is true. What do you think about Scobin's confession?"

Having already turned to the end of the document, Teru Hoshikawa pressed his forehead.

He wasn't lying about his Russian. He did know Russian, thanks to his nomadic childhood with his mother. It was just that his reading skills were average due to a lack of a Russian-speaking environment.

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

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

Scobin, 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 Narumi 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, and now when Kyosuke Fudo mentions the word "Karaze", 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.

Something about a demon emerging from the fire, something pushing her into heaven, her throwing herself into the arms of the Lord, returning to the human world from death and resentment, blah blah...

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 the castle, her ability was not weaker than Pramya's. The speed of change in the madman's palace was also very fast. Then she jumped from the statue in the tomb into the coffin, ran directly to the ground through the fast passage, threw her to the teammates waiting outside the castle, and Tang Ze 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.

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

This shows that Kumail's method of taking Scott away was somewhat special, and he did not want to reveal this method to the organization.

"What are you hiding, Kumail?" Rumm rubbed his still-aching eye sockets and twitched his lips. "Is it something that needs to be kept secret?"

After waking up, Rum had already gone through the entire process of being 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 surrounded Pramya that he saw before Curacao lost consciousness.

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

Could this really be caused by an ordinary explosion? Or had someone discovered his connection with Curacao?

"...There's nothing to hide, Mr. Rum." Xingchuan Teru lowered his eyes and spoke frankly, "Honestly, if you're 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 and then to reality a few times.

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

"If you really dare to do that."
