The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

Chapter 1073 Brilliant Sparks

Pramiya looked over Tangze's shoulder and at the window behind him.

Gorgeous, brilliant light and fire were burning behind him, the enchanting flames illuminated Tangze's outline like a silhouette, causing Pramya's fingers to tighten slightly.

It was Tangze's intention that Pramiya could connect to the tablet, so he naturally observed her movements very clearly.

To be more precise, Tang Ze knew that there was a bomb inside and had positioning, so he was guiding her to deliberately follow his steps and walk to a deserted place.

If the explosion occurs in a very remote corner - like now - and there is only one bystander around, this person must be involved in the explosion.

It's unlikely that she could be convicted of a crime based on this, but it would be a good thing to raise the alertness of other police officers towards her.

If it were Tang Zelai, he would never let Pramya play so freely.

Pramya's fingers tightened, knowing that something was wrong.

Goro Akechi is not someone else. Goro Akechi witnessed the explosion of Yoji Motobashi with his own eyes, asked him about some of his characteristics, and even saw her, the real culprit of the explosion, from afar.

It is possible to hide it from others, but if you want to hide it from him, it is undoubtedly a fantasy.

Things in the office were still fluttering due to the impact of the explosion. Pramiya heard the chaotic footsteps coming from the other end of the corridor. She knew that the movement here would soon attract everyone's attention, so she immediately changed her strategy.

Being suspected by him was an established fact that could not be shaken. Using poor excuses to cover up this mistake would only make his situation more embarrassing.

Just don't try to change his mind.

So, when the other members of the Search Section were alarmed by the unusual movement here and came looking for the person, they saw Christina kneeling on the ground, holding onto the door frame, crying inconsolably.

"I'm so glad you're okay... I'm sorry, I didn't know this was happening, I, I..."

As she spoke, she showed the interface displayed on her mobile phone to other police officers.

It is still the program used for positioning, but it is not her own dedicated APP, but a separate web program for positioning.

"Just now, when I left the office, I received an email... There was only this thing in the email..." She raised her head, revealing full confusion and helplessness, which, coupled with her beautiful and delicate face, was very convincing.

As she spoke, she turned her head and met Tang Ze, who was still standing in the back of the room, indifferent to her statement, but raised his eyebrows with interest.

She knew that no matter how good her acting skills were, it would be difficult to convince a detective who was already suspicious.

It would be better to save this energy for those who can be deceived, and instead use all your strength to——

Destroy him.

"What a jerk."

Using the viewer provided by Noah, Asai Narumi quickly browsed through the "little stories" of these dozens of people.

After Tang Ze's upgrade and the full financial support of the Phantom Thieves, Noah's abilities are no longer comparable to the past.

In the past, he could manipulate multiple scenes separately and let dozens of people move around in the large scene. Now, it is no problem for him to design a small stage for each person who enters the Ark.

With the special abilities of the other members of the team, even though they have not officially met yet, the stories of each of these people have unfolded before their eyes.

Those who have lost their loved ones, whose homes have been destroyed, or who have been forced to watch their loved ones die in front of them due to bombings...

Not every family member of Pramya’s victims will join them, but those who can join this team must be the most seriously injured and the most emotional, so they can chase the shadow of death day after day for years.

They carried the deepest shadows, which is why they came together and became sparks, which really forced Pramiya to take action against them.

All of this stems from the heavy weight in each of their hearts. It is reasonable that everyone has shadows.

Jinpei Matsuda crossed his arms and did not join in the insults from other teammates around him. He just exchanged glances with Kenji Hagiwara.

Because they were assigned to the explosive ordnance disposal team, they had come into contact with many similar files.

Even before they started working, in order to help these police officers who were about to step onto the front lines of danger stay alert and fully understand the nature of their upcoming work, they had watched some similar video materials.

"…Pramya's danger lies in her 'intelligence'." In a professional tone, Matsuda Jinpei explained, "The new bomb may not have any advantages over those explosives with mature formulas in terms of installation and configuration. Even if it can temporarily avoid security inspections, like the tablet that the man held that day, a small dose of explosives will still not pose a great threat. The biggest danger of the new bomb she made is that it has a special chemical reaction."

"Different fires require different methods of extinguishing," Hagiwara explained to the others. "Depending on the type of combustion, the corresponding treatment methods are also different. Chemical combustion will first limit the effectiveness of some common fire-fighting measures."

"And her bombs generate energy very quickly, faster than Ark's simulation. In almost an instant, the person will turn into a ball of fire in front of your eyes." Matsuda Jinpei, who witnessed the explosion of Yoji Motobashi, summarized it succinctly, "The person who was standing in front of you one second ago was surrounded by flames the next second, and he could not even scream before he quickly turned into a ball of charcoal. The psychological trauma caused by this scene is immeasurable."

Shimabukuro Kimie, who always spoke softly and smiled, slapped the panel in front of her when she heard this.

"She did it on purpose." Shimabukuro Kimie, who actually lost a relative in the fire, had a cold expression. "She knows how horrified and traumatized people would be by such a scene. She enjoys using her creation to hurt others."

"Leader's judgment is correct. Pramiya is a pure antisocial personality. Her thinking and logic are not understandable to ordinary people, and her behavior is highly purposeful." Miyano Akemi pondered, "So this is why Leader deliberately angered her."

"Palace's alert level is only one aspect. When necessary, we have many ways to make her alert. She is a lunatic. She regards her explosion as a carnival, and she chose Halloween for this reason." Asai Narumi nodded, agreeing with Miyano Akemi's guess, "You can't get the 'carnival invitation ticket' if you don't become her 'accomplice' or 'target'."

Without being able to see the entire carnival, it was naturally impossible to get close to the Palace Master and deal with her.

Thinking of Tang Ze's plan, everyone in the monitoring room fell into silence for a moment.

Tangze's provocation must be dangerous, but it must also be extremely effective and harsh. It doesn't take much imagination to guess Pramya's current situation.

"...Well, since the Leader is over there, we don't need to worry about them." Zhu Fu Jingguang stood up first, "Let's not admire their suffering here. The shadows are almost dealt with, let's go meet them."

----

"I was a little scared, but the location kept moving, getting farther and farther away. I was afraid something might happen... so I just followed it myself..."

Tang Ze politely declined the warm water, blankets and other items that several police officers handed over with concern, and sat on the other side of the conference table, looking at the images displayed on the computer in front of him.

Christina's crying was sad and pitiful, with a noticeable nasal tone and trembling, and she looked like she was terribly devastated by what she saw.

Pramya is very skilled in playing the role of a victim and playing the role of a helper. She is very good at it.

It could even be said that in her past criminal history, she would consciously and deliberately put herself in this position once or twice, cooperating with the police's questioning and record-taking, and then accepting their comfort.

This is a way that allows her to observe her own masterpiece up close, while also making others play around in circles, all completely in the palm of her hand, which makes her very happy.

Tang Ze raised his eyelids and looked at her coldly.

Tang Ze has not yet experienced Pramiya's abilities in other aspects, but he has fully experienced her acting skills.

Skilled, too skilled. No wonder he can control Muranaka in the palm of his hand.

Almost at the moment she realized her situation, Pramya entered Christina's mode. Her legs went weak and she slid to the ground. Tears flowed instantly, as if her initial stiffness was simply due to shock and her inability to recover.

Next, her series of actions were also very quick and timely.

She excused herself by saying that she was there because she followed the location signal on a web page and that she received an anonymous email on her mobile phone five minutes before the explosion.

I opened my phone to check and actually found such an email.

Considering how active Pramiya was on the dark web, it is hard to say whether she was prepared in advance or her excellent computer technology played an appropriate role.

She vividly described her complex and tangled psychological process, including her initial uncertainty and hesitation that made her miss the opportunity to notify other police officers in advance, and then her anxiety and tension prevailed, so she followed and became a witness to the explosion.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, her mental journey is quite comprehensive, at least many police officers in the first investigation section feel sympathy for her.

"The explosion was aimed at Mr. Oleg." Tang Ze spoke up, temporarily interrupting Christina's crying and Muranaka Tsutomu's gentle comfort, "I was just an innocent person affected. The explosive was actually the tablet computer that Mr. Oleg brought with him."

"According to his testimony, he risked his life to bring this tablet back from Pramia's base that was about to be destroyed several months ago. It was also the reason why he and the team came to Tokyo." Takagi Shigeru nodded seriously. "Before the tablet was turned off, he briefly saw Pramia's next action plan on it, but before he could take a closer look, the tablet automatically turned off due to damage."

"This damage is most likely caused by moisture." Tang Ze glanced at the fragments of the tablet that were found by the forensic department, and only the remnants were left. "This is a trap. He is deliberately leading others to discover this plan, and then making this group of Avengers gather in Tokyo with a clear goal. Mr. Oleg was right to be cautious. If he had brought it directly to meet up with the others, Pramya might have detonated it at that time."

Kogoro Maori stared at the pile of debris, and his face turned a little darker when he heard this.

When he realized that Oleg was actually a bomb locator carrying a time bomb, he felt a little horrified when he recalled the scene of that day.

What if Pramiya noticed that Oleg was approaching the Metropolitan Police Department and detonated the bomb just to be on the safe side...

"So it's detonated now because Pramya noticed that the tablet was about to be disassembled for inspection, and he didn't want the raw materials of the bomb to be exposed?" Takagi Shige scratched his face, looked at the records in the document, and made a tentative guess.

"No, it's probably another reason."

Tang Ze shook his finger, then raised his hand and pointed meaningfully at Christina across the table.

Meeting those tearful eyes, Tang Ze curled the corners of his mouth.

To others, this smile seemed to be a comfort to the victim, gentle and harmless. But in my eyes, it was probably another provocation and declaration of war.

Christina tightened her grip on the blanket around her shoulders.

"So..." Megure Jusan, who had heard enough, cleared his throat, "Pramya will target Shibuya. Could the real target be Miss Christina?"

"What?" Muranaka Tsutomu's expression became flustered, "But, Chris..."

“We cannot rule out this possibility.”

As the door of the conference room opened and closed again, Yuya Kazami's voice rang out.

Everyone looked over there.

Because it involved Pramya, when Oleg arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department, they had already contacted the work number left by Yuya Kazami.

Now, since an explosion almost occurred in the Metropolitan Police Department, his appearance was even more reasonable.

"We have just contacted the Greek police and confirmed that Ms. Christina was an eyewitness to the bombing in Pramia while on a business trip to Greece." Yuya Kazami put a file on the table. He first looked at Karasawa, who was smiling but seemed to be in a bad mood, and then turned to Christina. "We have reason to believe that the threat was made by Pramia, and its purpose should be to attack Mr. Muranaka and Ms. Christina who were going to hold their wedding in Shibuya."

Suddenly, all eyes in the room turned to Christina.

Yuya Kazami's words were too euphemistic, and had nothing to do with Muranaka Tsutomu at all.

Tang Ze's guess actually came true. The target of the attack was not the former police officer Shizheng who had a brilliant record, but the weak and innocent bride.

"It is very meaningful to protect the two of them in advance. You have done your job very attentively." Feng Jianyuya said this, and praised them seriously. "The reason why Pramiya notified Miss Christina to follow the location at this time is probably to let her touch the tablet and then kill her. This is a dangerous and cunning criminal. We need to be extremely vigilant."

This was indeed the plan, and everything was explained very smoothly by Goro Akechi and the policeman who showed up. However, Pramiya felt very aggrieved: "..."

Shut up, she's going to stop crying if you keep talking.

Damn, these policemen.
