The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

"You're surprisingly brave." Tang Ze was a little surprised to hear her answer without much hesitation.

"I just figured it out." Curacao sighed, "If you want to kill me, you have plenty of opportunities. There's no need to wait until today."

Speaking of trust, talking about trust with someone like Kumail who lives completely in lies is nonsense in the eyes of others, but Curacao feels that he is thinking very clearly now.

Today, while playing with the children, she was thinking about everything that had happened since she received the mission from Rum and broke into the police station.

Although she couldn't say for sure, she was certain that the two women who had taken care of her for several days were closely related to Kumail, from the time he knocked her off the bridge to the time she was rescued from the water and taken to the amusement park.

If he just wanted her dead and wanted to satisfy Rum without bringing up those suspicious private transactions, there would be no need for him to go through all this trouble.

The car accident that happened at that time was not exaggerated at all. She herself did not expect that when she opened her eyes again, except for a few scratches, there were no other scars on her body.

Kumail not only had a plan, but when he reached this point and stood here, his plan had actually succeeded.

In that case, why not let him carry out the plan he has already made... and see how far he can go.

"You're quite clear-headed." Tang Ze nodded.

After making the most difficult decision, Curacao relaxed and replied, "You've saved me a few times. I should be grateful to you."

Of course, compared to these children who made him feel a little bit of light and warmth when they passed by him, Kumail was by no means a warm sun.

The moonlight was cold, and without any temperature, it was impossible for it to illuminate the entire night, but it had already illuminated the path leading out of the woods. In the cold night, it was the best it could do.

She needed to thank him, Curacao did not deny it.

Tang Ze smiled, and the careful scrutiny in his eyes finally relaxed.

The most important thing is not what to make her do, but to make Rum lose her.

For a tree as big and deep-rooted as Rum, we must cut off its branches layer by layer and cut off its tributaries in order to force it to walk into the trap that has been set long ago and end up in the designed ending.

Curacao plays an important role in Tang Ze's plan, but if she cannot get the recognition of the Phantom Thieves, or in other words, Tang Ze's recognition, then Tang Ze will not choose to fill in the gap.

"Okay, then get ready. I'll tell you a secret."

Curacao subconsciously looked at the child standing at the door of the store, some distance away from them. After making sure that only the two of them could hear the following conversation, he frowned slightly and pretended to listen attentively.

"As long as we understand Gin's behavior patterns and logic, it won't be particularly difficult to hide it from him." Tang Ze raised a finger, silencing him, and lowered his voice accordingly. "For example, if you were shot into the sea in front of him, it would be best if you were shot in a vital part, like the head. This is a route that Gin feels has no hope of survival."

I thought he was going to tell me some shocking secret: "......?"

Do you want to listen to what you are saying? Then why do you think Gin feels that there is no hope of survival? Is it possible that if you are shot in these places, you will really die?

Tang Ze smiled, didn't explain any more, turned around and walked towards the children who had already bought things.

How can the logic behind Gin's suspicious behavior be understood by common sense?

In the original plot, wasn't Shuichi Akai shot right in the eyebrow by Rena Mizunashi, fell in the car and was engulfed by the explosion?

Although it did not happen in front of Gin, he witnessed the entire scene from a certain distance.

Just because Rena Mizunashi completed the task too easily, and Amuro Toru had full confidence in Shuichi Akai's ability, Gin included her in the list of suspicious persons and pointed at her head with Beretta for a long time.

If you want to use a fake death route to prevent Gin from going up to finish off the enemy and avoid raising any doubts, you really need to be careful about the methods and techniques.

Combined with Tang Ze's own experience, this method has a relatively high success rate.

You see, this time Shuichi Akai died in the river, Gin was obviously much quieter, and Rena Mizunashi, who was taken back, not only did not quit her job as a host, but was also trained as a key person.

and so……

"You can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me."

Looking at the man who was being pointed at by his gun, Amuro revealed a somewhat hideous smile.

Akai Shuichi, who was running out of breath but still couldn't completely get rid of Amuro Toru, had his back pressed against the door behind him and didn't respond to his question.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, at this point, he and Shuichi Akai no longer have any unresolved grudges.

What happened to Zhu Fu Jingguang was a tragedy and a misunderstanding. Because he could not find a specific object of resentment, he could only project his anger on the person who was most likely to have caused this situation. This was an important part of his emotions.

Morobushi Kagemitsu has been brought back to the human world. The person involved has explained it himself and there is no conflict. When Akai Shuichi found him, he even took the initiative to reveal his identity and wanted to save a life. It would be a bit inhumane to be dissatisfied with this.

As for more issues, such as the Miyano family, Karasawa, and the vigilance and scrutiny accumulated during the confrontation between the organizations, they were all explained as the true positions of both sides were exposed.

Shuichi Akai is an FBI agent and also an undercover agent.

He accepted the mission related to Tang Ze and became another monitor. His purpose was the same as his own, which was to save the child who was about to be completely swallowed up by the organization.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about rescuing Miyano Shiho and Miyano Akemi, but after weighing the pros and cons, he chose Karasawa Akira, who had a better chance of achieving his goal...

All of the above coincides with Toru Amuro's thinking and is completely the behavior of a qualified undercover agent.

The two of them only had one final, and most difficult, problem left to solve.

"Don't be so competitive, Bourbon." Seeing that Amuro Toru wasn't going to give up, Akai Shuichi simply stopped pretending, "Some things can't be decided by winning or losing. According to your standards, even if you win now, it's still an unfair victory."

Akai Shuichi said as he stretched his arms.

He had almost succeeded in leaving the area quickly through another pipe.

From the ventilation duct over there, you can climb directly to the office on the other side of the ticket office. There is no surveillance equipment there and almost no one on duty. It is a good entrance and exit channel.

If the wound on his shoulder had not affected him to some extent and caused some problems with his flexibility, this confrontation would not have happened at all.

Scotland’s problem is a misunderstanding caused by information asymmetry.

If Shuichi Akai knew that Toru Amuro was also a Japanese public security officer and would never choose such a risky route, if he discussed it with him, he might be able to find a foolproof way for Keimitsu Morifushi to leave.

The conflicts that occurred during other missions were not a big deal.

To put it bluntly, everyone is involved in this endless saga because they are undercover agents. They have to show that they are working hard enough to gain the trust of the organization.

The competition that occurred during this period was not a matter of actual interests. It was just that everyone needed to maintain the character design they created and had to portray the image of a villain who gritted his teeth and sucked blood.

The conflict between him and Bourbon was that he always lost less and won more between the two of them.

Toru Amuro pulled the corner of his mouth and chuckled twice with a forced smile, but he put down the gun in his hand.

Although he did not fully admit it, nor did he reveal any characteristics that could reveal his identity, this conversation was definitely not candid, but it was already a disguised admission of his identity.

Considering those things, considering Zhu Fujingguang, and considering Tang Ze, the two of them really don't have any life-and-death conflict that would cost anyone's life.

However, some things cannot be resolved with just a few words.

"Really? I don't think so. I told you that sooner or later I'll make you my stepping stone. Wait, Rye."

"Don't be so angry all the time. We don't have any irreconcilable conflicts."

"Huh? Do you think this is resentment?"

Amuro Toru narrowed his eyes, obviously very dissatisfied with his choice of words.

Just as Toru Amuro was about to put away his gun and punch him to find out the guy's current disguised identity, Shuichi Akai took advantage of the moment when he relaxed his arm holding the gun and pushed open the door behind him.

He just leaned against the door without moving in order to block the sign on the door and prevent Toru Amuro from realizing that this was actually a safety door that pushed outwards.

The reason for answering the call was to use the conversation to delay time, distract Toru Amuro's attention, and quickly solve the door lock behind him.

He did get the key to the facility, but no administrator of such a large facility would hang all the keys in one place. Unfortunately, this was definitely an exit that was only used for maintenance and other work, so it was impossible to hang the key on a commonly used keychain.

The relatively new security door didn't make any loud opening and closing noises, but along with the light came the screams and laughter of the children.

The last Ferris wheel run had just ended, and the beeping sound and tourists pouring out of the exit filled the passage outside, making this small staircase, which should not have been visited by many people, full of noise.

Toru Amuro frowned and subconsciously pressed the brim of his hat to cover his face. When he raised his head again to observe Akai Shuichi's movements, there was nothing in front of him.

I don’t know how he did it, but in the blink of an eye, the person in front of him disappeared.

Toru Amuro took two steps forward, looked at the intact cordon at the bottom of the stairs and the crowds of people crowded together walking out. Before being noticed by other staff members, he restrained himself and took a few steps back and returned to the door.

Compared to himself who was called by Rum on a whim, Shuichi Akai was obviously more prepared.

Whether it was Rye Whiskey or Akai Shuichi, he had never misjudged this person.

Cunning, experienced, unscrupulous, and difficult to deal with.

However, this gave him a good reason to exploit the issue...

Thinking of this, he pulled out his cell phone, quickly typed in a number and dialed it.

"Hello, Rum. I've found Kumer, but he hasn't made a move yet. At least for now, Curacao is still alive. I believe I can deliver what you want soon. No, that's not why I called. I've made a new discovery. I was attacked by an unknown person at the aquarium, and I suspect... it was Shuichi Akai."

----

"Akai Shuichi?"

Gin put away the gun in his hand and ignored the man lying on the ground unable to speak. He gestured to Vodka to pack up his things and leave, then turned around and walked towards the Porsche at the entrance of the alley.

"Of course he's dead. Killed by Kiel, right in front of me."

After putting the things into the box and wiping the blood off the surface of the box, Vodka stood up and heard Gin utter such a name. He couldn't help but slow down his movements for fear of disturbing Gin.

When mentioning Shuichi Akai, Gin usually doesn't feel very good. There are very few people in the organization who can be remembered by Gin even after their death, and each of them is a heavyweight.

"Bourbon's using this as an excuse to talk nonsense, and you're following suit?" Gin's voice cooled. "I witnessed the entire process with my own eyes, and Gil is still lying in bed. What? Are you accusing me of lying?"

Vodka choked and his hands, which were wiping the box, couldn't help but pause.

Who is on the other end of the phone? Rum? Why would he ask such a bold question?

Gin did not kill Shuichi Akai himself, but strictly speaking, he killed him together with Kill on the way to save Kill.

Isn't questioning the authenticity of Shuichi Akai's death equivalent to questioning Gin's loyalty?

No one expected that the undercover agent would be caught on Gin's head.

"That's even more impossible. Even if that man is lucky enough to survive such an injury, it's questionable whether he can still take care of himself. How could he move around unscathed and even get into a conflict with Bourbon? If you two have any conflicts, just resolve them yourselves and don't bring it upon me."

It looked like it was indeed Rum's call, and the one who asked the question was Bourbon again.

Vodka breathed softly, not daring to interrupt the call, for fear of accidentally causing anger.

He could more or less understand Gin's feelings. To put it simply, the two of them should really stop making trouble.

When the trivialities of the struggle for power and profit involve Gin, Gin will just be defeated by a single gun.

"That's Kumail's mission. It's none of my business. If you're unhappy that he didn't bring Curacao back alive, that's your problem." Gin sneered directly this time. "I have nothing to hide. Have Kumail wait over there. I'll come myself and 'bring him back.'"
