The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

Chapter 1013 The Starting Point of Destiny

More than an hour had passed since Takeyori Ishikawa was stuffed into Noah's hall by Karasawa.

Kogoro Mouri and Conan, as well as the police officers who are everywhere in the Iikawa family, have almost turned their house upside down and have basically figured out the general trajectory of Iikawa Takeyori over the past twenty years.

Anyway, it's almost the right time.

After watching Conan, who was choked and didn't know what to say, finish telling them about Ikawa's situation and run away silently, Tangze finally turned over his phone and looked at Ikawa Takera on the screen again.

Having already understood what the Phantom Thief of Hearts wanted him to understand, Oikawa Takeyori no longer cared about any reasonable questions.

He held the bumpy brush in his hand and touched the most completed painting in the gallery.

It is said to be the most complete one, which is also the conclusion drawn from the comparison among the paintings in the gallery.

After all, this is a painting done with the mouth, and the control is far less precise than that of the hands, so rough brushstrokes are simply unavoidable.

But after all, it is also the work of the former landscape painter Haruhito Kanhara. Even if the details are a little rough, the free and melancholy artistic conception is still vivid on the paper.

This is also the painting whose brushstrokes most resemble Takeyori Iikawa's own.

This painting is "Aoarashi" which Haruhito Kanhara finally prepared for him.

"Qing Lan" is used to save the son-in-law's life and to convey guilt and consolation.

Thinking of his own plan and the tragedy that was about to happen in the villa, Takeyori Iikawa felt filled with remorse. He slowly knelt down and burst into tears.

Just a little bit different.

If the Phantom Thieves of Hearts hadn't taken him away, perhaps he would have already made all the arrangements and was ready to use darkness to kill this elder who cared about him so much...

When Takeyori Ishikawa's hand slid down the frame and touched the bronze plate below the painting that was exactly the same as the other paintings, the painting in front of him fell down as if a button had been pressed.

Oikawa Takeyori hurriedly tried to grab it, but found that the painting seemed to have been melted by the carpet as well, and it fell to the ground and disappeared into the carpet.

Instead, a door opened in front of Takeyori Iikawa on the wall, as if it had been cut open by the falling painting.

A door that is exactly the same as the one in his mountain villa.

Oikawa Takeyori slowly got up and finally realized that this was the "answer" left for him by the Phantom Thieves, the "exit to leave here."

He lowered his head and looked carefully at the paintbrush in his hand for a while, then walked up silently and pushed the door open.

The scene on his side went dark as the door was pushed open.

Kuroba Kaito tilted his head, watched the picture on his phone, and gave a vicissitudes of life sigh: "What a tragic scene. Fortunately, you came in time. If it were me, I guess Kamiyahara Haruhito would have died by the time I arrived."

"You won't choose to show up because of the undead?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but ask.

"That's about right. Haven't you guys encountered similar situations? Copycat and the like..." Kuroba Kaito waved his hand nonchalantly, "Kaito Kidd's active area is wider than yours, and there are countless people who want to pretend to be him and cause trouble. If I show up for everyone, I'll be exhausted."

But if he followed Takeyori Ichikawa's original plan to accuse Kaito Kid of being a murderer and express his hatred and pain for Kaito Kid for killing his relatives in tears to the media, he would not be able to bear it.

Kaito Kidd can fail and his plan can be aborted due to the obstruction of the detective.

But anyone who says that he has to kill someone to silence them just because he ran into an unexpected witness at the scene is really looking down on that person.

"It's not a bad thing if you guys stop him to prevent the situation from getting worse." Kuroba Kaito nodded with satisfaction.

It also saves him from having to come in person to clarify.

"Why do I remember that when someone first met me, he also shamelessly called me a copycat?" Tang Ze glanced at him sideways.

"The situation back then was indeed very similar. And based on my analysis of the notice you sent out, your activities and style back then were more like the same person than the 'Phantom Thieves'." Kuroba Kaito shrugged, not embarrassed to see Tang Ze digging up the past. "No one who copied the test paper would copy their name along with it. You said it was the Phantom Thieves, but there was only one person active. It's not surprising that I would think so."

"Can you tell that?" Tang Ze still glanced at him with distrust in the corner of his eyes.

"Of course you can. Your writing style of the notice letter is there." Kuroba Kaito waved his hand, "Based on the capabilities of the people in your group now, if you had other people to help you, you wouldn't have to rely on Maori Kogoro as a single source of information to select targets. Looking at your activities now, my guess is not wrong, right? It's obvious that you are constantly recruiting people, which means that when I met you, this so-called Phantom Thief Group might really be just you, right?"

Tang Ze tilted his head but did not object to what he said.

The disguise provided by Kuroba Kaito is an extremely important part of Tang Ze's entire plan, and it is also the basis for him to implement this plan.

If his assistance route had not been opened as he wished, Tang Ze would definitely have been forced to change his plan.

After coming to Tokyo, until Tangze officially became Kumail in the organization, the power of every coop he met during this period was crucial.

"You know how easy it is to create a fake identity. Not to mention the number of people participating in the event, I didn't even plan to recruit anyone in the beginning."

"Let me tell you. Even if you trained all the new recruits later, you must have been the only one at that time. You deliberately contacted me and created pressure on me in an ambiguous way. Wasn't that all part of your plan? You have such a cheating ability and you are so calculating. You are worthy of being you, Tang Ze."

When talking about this past event which now seems a long time ago, although Kuroba Kaito kept condemning it, he looked very relaxed.

Tang Ze's contact at that time did make him suspicious for several days, but since it turned out to be a false alarm, and Tang Ze later took the initiative to reveal his true identity to him in order to show a friendly and cooperative attitude, he had nothing to worry about anymore.

Rather than thinking about such unimportant things, Kuroba Kaito was more concerned with his feelings.

His intersection with Tang Ze began with their respective bizarre identities as thieves.

As he came into contact with Tang Ze for a long time, he actually saw their destinies intersecting and separating, producing subtle influences and changes.

Today, when they knew that Tang Ze was actually at the performance that changed his entire life and destiny, what made them sit here and discuss today was the dramatic changes that two children who didn't know each other at the time witnessed unintentionally...

Thinking of this, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but feel the power of fate.

"Now that I think about it, it's a good thing to know you all. I don't reject becoming Kaito Kidd, nor do I feel like I've become my father's shadow - if he hadn't gotten into trouble, I wouldn't have become Kidd at all, right? Even if I really planned to follow in my father's footsteps, that would be many years later." Kuroba Kaito supported his chin and expressed his thoughts in a rare lyrical way, "So I can understand why you would choose to establish the Phantom Thieves. It would be a lot easier to have a group of friends who know your true identity."

"If you think about it carefully, I can be considered to have witnessed the starting point of your life change."

"Don't exaggerate. You don't even have any memory of what happened. What did you witness..."

"So what? Just tell me whether I saw it or not?"

Tang Ze argued with him for a few words, stood up and smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes.

Oikawa Takeyori has left the gallery that Noah prepared, but has not yet returned to reality.

In addition to breaking the ice between these two relatives who had a huge misunderstanding due to poor communication, he also needed to completely resolve today's farce.

After giving Takeyori Ishikawa a slap in the face, he should have shown some kindness and understanding to ease the suffering of this unfortunate man.

"Okay, I have my own tasks, so I'll leave this to you."

Kuroba Kaito rolled his eyes, but his hands moved very quickly.

He quickly adjusted his clothes and his posture, restrained his own lively nature, carefully smoothed out the coat made by Ru Yue Feng Shui, and prepared to deal with the detectives and police who might return at any time.

Tang Ze, who was walking forward, was also feeling very emotional.

Eight years ago, although Tang Ze and his wife had started their research on cognitive neurology, their progress was slowed down by his treatment problems. Although it attracted the attention of the organization, it was far from becoming one of the main research lines of the organization, to the point where the whole family lost their freedom and were unable to control themselves.

Not long after that, his recovery finally attracted all the attention to the entire Tangze family.

How he recovered, who knows?

You know, before that, his parents had already bought the largest piece of X-alloy and had tried to use it in the treatment process for a long time, but there was no strong effect.

Maybe his subsequent recovery was due to Kuroba Toichi? After all, Tang Ze was actually sitting in the front two rows that day, and was in close contact with the explosion of the X-alloy.

That was the starting point of Kuroba Kaito's life change, and wasn't it also the starting point for Tang Ze...?

A smile appeared on Tang Ze's lips, and the next second, an unprecedented violent shattering sound filled his eardrums.

【rank up! Rank 3! 】

【Destiny Shift 1st】

[You have found the starting point of your destiny, and you have glimpsed the first turning point in the change of your destiny.

The white dove perched on your shoulder flaps its wings, takes off gently, flies to a distant platform, and lands on the magician's white gloves.

You look at that little white dot with a confused and blank gaze that seems to be separated by countless barriers.

It reflects the light from the spotlight, and the fine feather powder tickles the tip of your nose.

The next second, the white light began to burn on the gloves...】

Very rarely, Leon's magnetic voice did not use that mysterious, subtle aria-like tone, but spoke slowly and leisurely as if he was reading a picture book.

And what he uttered was no longer a confusing riddle, but a series of obviously coherent descriptions of the environment.

Tang Ze couldn't help but stagger.

His vision went slightly dark, and some continuous or fragmented images unfolded before Tang Ze's eyes as he described.

The short child was led onto the stage and stood in front of the tall magician.

The magician took off his tall hat and placed it on the child's head.

Even if the child in front of him does not give any reaction that meets the audience's expectations, as if he did not feel the magician's movements at all, the performer will not be annoyed if he does not get cooperation.

He stretched out his hand, and a white dove flew out from his sleeve and landed on the child's shoulder, causing the child, who had been staring straight ahead, to finally turn his gaze and look at the strange creature on his shoulder.

The magician snapped his fingers.

The white dove took off docilely and landed on the magician's fingertips.

A ball of fire started burning, illuminating the child's deep, unreflective eyes...

Tang Ze gasped and suddenly woke up, finding himself being held tightly by several pairs of hands.

Before receiving the notification that his fate had shifted, he had already activated the navigation to the other world and was on his way to the palace of Takeyori Ichikawa to meet up with his teammates.

Because of the violent flashback and the brief loss of senses, he lost his balance and almost fell directly into the safe house.

The few people waiting there were of course startled, and hurriedly caught Tang Ze, who suddenly fell down like a puppet with its strings cut.

"Hey, Leader, have you secretly stayed up all night again? Why do I feel like your soul has suddenly gone offline..." Asai Makoto, who was closest to him, grabbed Tang Ze's right arm, and when he saw that he had regained his reaction, he asked.

"You scared me..." Miyano Akemi's hand was about to touch Tang Ze's drooping head. She was ready to lift his face to check the situation. At this time, she breathed a sigh of relief, "If you are not in good condition, don't force yourself. This is not a very difficult task..."

Rather than being a villain, Oikawa Takeyori is more like a mentally ill patient who desperately needs to be saved.

Their Phantom Thieves have encountered many such examples before. There are many souls twisted by repression and pain. For those with very serious cases, the Phantom Thieves don’t mind playing the role of psychologists. They are more professional, efficient and have better medical ethics than the psychologists in Teitan.

Anyway, his hall is not difficult to build. Even if Tang Ze doesn't come in the whole process and watches from outside remotely, it won't affect the final effect too much.

Tang Ze regained his strength, stood up, pressed his temple, and did not respond immediately.

His thoughts were still on the scene he had just seen.

After the flames started, the picture began to break up, leaving only some scattered fragments.

There were cheers and exclamations from the audience, explosions, screams and shouts...

There were also red and black whirlpools that kept swirling and intertwining, like the gaping mouth of the abyss...

Vaguely understanding something, Tang Ze pressed his temple which was beginning to throb again and squinted his eyes.

His parents did not change their number cards, and therefore, eight years ago, Tang Ze did not become the lucky audience member selected by Kuroba Toichi to go on stage to cooperate with the performance.

However, no matter how you look at that scene, it seems like he walked onto the stage and stood in front of Hei Yu Daoyi.

"...The other path that was most likely erased actually diverged from here?"

Tang Ze murmured to himself.
