The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

Chapter 668: An inappropriate Halloween party (page 12)

The slamming of the door interrupted the conversation between Karasawa and Suzuki Sonoko, and the two of them looked at the door at the same time.

"What's wrong, Xiaolan, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Suzuki Sonoko stood up with concern and approached her best friend.

Mao Lilan kept her head down and couldn't see her face clearly, which made her a little worried.

Touched by her dry and warm palm, Mao Lilan seemed to wake up suddenly, raised her head, and met Tang Ze's eyes.

Instinctively dodging, Mao Lilan couldn't control her tone of panic: "No, it's okay, maybe it was washed by cold water..."

Recalling what she had just seen, she bit her lower lip and looked at Judy, who was lying on the table, her heart pounding.

Why, why is there such a photo, and why is it posted in the bathroom of Teacher Judy's house?

This is Teacher Judy's bachelor apartment. This was confirmed when they proposed to hold a farewell party at her house. In other words, those densely packed photos posted behind the mirror all belong to Teacher Judy.

What is she doing, collecting information about Karasawa? What about the writing on her photos and Conan's photos?

Especially, about Goro Akechi...

When their eyes met again, Tangze briefly thought about the direction of Mao Lilan's misunderstanding, then chose to bend his eyes and reveal a gentle and friendly smile.

Seeing so much information at once, Mao Lilan's CPU was probably overloaded. No matter what emotions he showed, she would only understand them according to her own ideas.

Sure enough, Mao Lilan, who received his smile, arched her back slightly, showing an obvious defensive posture.

Calm down, you have to calm down. Shinichi has already said that the matter needs further investigation. Before reaching a conclusion, you can't show any exaggerated abnormalities.

So Mao Lilan quickly adjusted her expression, stood up straight, and calmly comforted Suzuki Sonoko: "It's really okay. I'll find some hot drinks to drink..."

Mao Lilan tried hard to control her gaze and not look at Tang Ze more to avoid raising questions from the other party, but she was still uneasy in her heart.

If I remember correctly, Karasawa has always had great trust in Goro Akechi. When Karasawa is in trouble, Akechi will come as soon as possible if his assistance is needed.

Why, why was such a scene photographed...

"What's wrong, Shinichi? Is there something unexpected?"

Seeing Conan's serious face as he hung up the phone, Dr. Ali asked.

Conan turned to look at Haihara Ai, who was wearing a mask and sitting sickly on the sofa. Just as he was about to explain, his movements suddenly stopped.

No, the doctor's house is being monitored by members of the organization, so these questions cannot be asked now.

"It's okay. Xiaolan said that the school's English teacher was resigning and that I didn't even have the chance to take her class. It was a pity and so on."

With this explanation, Conan silently pressed the screen of his mobile phone, typed the content in the memo, and handed it to Haibara Ai sitting opposite to read.

Hui Yuan Ai lowered his head and saw a line of content displayed on the phone with white text on a black background.

[Do you know when Goro Akechi met Karasawa? 】

Well, this question is quite interesting.

Hui Yuan Ai thought for a moment, thinking of Belmod on the other end of the monitoring line, and sorted out his thoughts for a while.

From Belmode's perspective, does she know why Shirley defected?

"Where did we just talk about Kudo?" She muttered under the mask and started typing on her mobile phone.

【Why do you ask? Is there anything wrong with Goro Akechi? 】

"I just mentioned that someone is investigating Uncle Maori, or in other words, investigating me." Seeing that Haibara Ai quickly understood his intentions, Conan also started to use distraction.

When he was typing, his expression was not as peaceful as when he was speaking. His brows were deeply furrowed and he pronounced the word "Sichuan".

Regarding Karasawa and Akechi Goro, he had had doubts before.

From Karasawa's mouth, he clearly learned that Goro Akechi was the illegitimate son of Shigehiko Tonguchi, a politician who had been confirmed to have colluded with the organization and was finally silenced.

Not long after Karasawa arrived in Tokyo, Goro Akechi arrived in Japan from the United States and began his journey as a famous detective in Tokyo.

Considering only various skills and intelligence, Akechi Goro did a pretty good job as a detective. Recognition in front of the public may be achieved through face, but it is not that simple to gain a certain degree of trust from the police.

So while investigating the case files related to the Karasawa family, he asked Yusaku Kudo, who was currently in the United States, to collect relevant information.

The strange thing is that Akechi Goro, who acted in such a high-profile manner, seemed to be extremely low-key during his stay in the United States, and could not find any news or information related to it.

This is far from the current state of Akechi Goro. Either he has a reason to keep a low profile in the United States, or... his current performance is just an illusion.

When investigating the Pisco case, Akechi had also come into his suspicions. The main reason why he was not included as a suspect in the end was because of Karasawa's protection.

But that was before Souji Okita brought the news. Now they have been able to confirm that there is something fishy about Karasawa's memory.

So can we doubt that his inexplicable coexistence of resistance and trust in Akechi Goro may be the sequelae of a similar situation?

[Xiaolan saw a strange photo and felt uneasy, so she called me.

Why is there a photo of Goro Akechi pinching the neck of Karasawa with his face covered in blood in Teacher Judy's house? 】

----

With a cigarette in his mouth, Belmode sat surrounded by electronic devices, listening to the conversation coming from the headphones.

The two crisp voices belonged to children, but their tone was solemn and low, and the content of the conversation was extremely serious.

"My identity is probably no longer safe, Haibara, you should consider leaving Miwa Town."

"I thought about doing this, Kudo, but I can't. There's no way I'm leaving here."

"Why do you say that? Haiyuan, I understand that you tried to find me when you left the organization, because the two of us may be the only guys in the world who survived after taking that drug. But now, our situation is very dangerous , you should probably consider other options."

"Sorry Kudo, I'm really sorry."

"Are you determined not to leave here?"

"Ah."

"Yes, because of Tang Ze? I heard him mention it before that you and he seem to be distant relatives."

"..."

The other end of the monitor fell into silence. On this side, Belmod sneered, picked up the empty can at hand, and slowly squeezed it tightly.

The soft metal slowly gathered into a ball with a weak cry.

She really wanted to persuade the cool guy to stop talking. That stubborn and naive woman had her own innocent ideas and would not be easily shaken by other people's words.

That's how it is when you're in an organization.

She accepted her parents' vicious terrorist research, but she still acted innocently; she was born in the organization since she was a child, and was destined to be surrounded by darkness for the rest of her life, but she still had some sweet dreams of family love and freedom.
