The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

The supplementary investigation process of the retrial was unexpectedly not complicated. Of course, it was also very likely that someone had already taken care of the complicated part for him.

In short, what Tang Ze needs to explain is that the entire case process was seriously illegal and there were major procedural errors.

In the subtle eye contact with Ayanokouji Fumimaro, Karasawa described everything in detail as he remembered.

He knew that the truth might not be so and that his memory was somewhat problematic, but if Tang Ze said so, they might as well believe the version of his memory.

At least in this version, the police blew the whistle and the court turned a blind eye, but it still exists.

If he was not taken to the police station at all, but was only taken away by coercion of the organization, then they would lose even more people.

That's equivalent to not even going through the perfunctory process, but just killing him and making him a criminal in one step.

It is not a question of procedural justice. The judiciary has been dysfunctional throughout the entire process, and has become a ruling that can be filled in at will by the mastermind behind the scenes. Now that these problems have been exposed, everyone should give up.

Ayanokouji Fumimaro watched as Tang Ze confirmed the content and signed carefully, confirming that the content was consistent with what he had expressed. His face looked very tired.

Perhaps it was because he usually wore a slightly greasy smile, but he looked wrinkled and a little withered when he was like this.

"This isn't a matter of procedural violations." Ayanokouji Fumimaro took back the document and gave a wry smile as he looked at the contents on it.

The Tangze case is a legal process, but there was no legal involvement throughout the process.

There are few places in this entire transcript that are not illegal.

There is insufficient evidence for arrest, and the parties involved in the case investigation have never been contacted. This minor who is about to become an adult is stuck at a very delicate age and should have a complete set of handling procedures that are different from those for younger children.

According to the dark-skinned high school students who have been running to Kyoto all day these days and constantly checking the results, they have not done anything at all.

"Thank you, Hattori." Karasawa crossed his fingers and smiled as he watched Ayanokouji Fumimaro sign his name gloomily. "How do you prove that something doesn't exist? This is truly a century-old problem."

The bugs in the Organization Card are so severe that even a secret police officer like Rei Furuya cannot simply handle his situation.

It is common for files of minors to be sealed or even destroyed. In order to protect the privacy of minors, holding trials in private is a humane act.

The confidentiality work was done so well that Tang Ze, the person who was kept in the dark, didn't even know the victim's name.

It is said that falsification is easier than proof, but that requires the proposition to actually exist and be a topic that can be discussed.

If Hattori Heiji and the others had not sought advice from experienced people like Kisaki Eri who had worked in the legal field for a long time and had also decided to use unconventional tactics, the whole situation would have easily become awkward.

"The Supreme Court has already approved the appeal. We're just going through the motions here." Ayanokouji Fumimaro didn't hide anything and spoke frankly. "They can't react too quickly, as that would easily trigger a backlash."

He didn't explain it clearly, but Tang Ze understood.

The law has a lag, and the rule of man is bound to have loopholes.

The Supreme Court does have the responsibility to review cases that have already been tried and consider whether the sentencing is too light or too heavy, but the initiative has always been in the hands of the Supreme Court itself.

The current retrial was almost forced by public opinion, as Hattori Heiji took advantage of Karasawa's special identity and his unique connections in many fields.

Everyone involved in the entire process is very clear about this, and even the public who are following this case are equally clear about it.

We found three thousand people to sign the petition. They were not ordinary people caught on the streets, but former high school students of the defendant. This has already made the matter a big deal, and there are so many forces mediating. It is impossible not to put it on the case and examine it carefully.

But they cannot react too quickly, as if they would immediately turn around as soon as public opinion becomes agitated. That would also undermine the seriousness of the judiciary.

So even if everyone knows that they have to accept the result of the retrial, they still have to pretend that they have considered it seriously, right?

"I don't mean to completely deny the judicial process. I understand your difficulties." Tang Ze shrugged, blocking out his subtle pity. "I know that what I'm doing might ruin many people's careers. To put it in a bigger picture, it might even cause other people's families to fall apart and slide down..."

Tang Ze couldn't help but shake his head when he said this.

The culprit is of course the organization. If you think about it carefully, the police are quite unlucky.

But the current situation was planned by his friends for him and the result of their hard work. Tang Ze cannot let them down.

"...But what about me? Inspector Ayanokouji, I'm innocent too. I just want to prove that I did nothing wrong. Does my life mean nothing?"

Tang Ze spoke very slowly, slower and softer than his usual pace.

But it is no exaggeration to say that it was deafening to the ears of Ayanokouji who was standing opposite, and to the ears of the police officers who were listening nearby.

Ayanokouji Fumimaro sighed: "You are right, you are the biggest victim, no one has the right to blame you."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to formally apologize to Tang Ze.

Before he bent down, Tang Ze raised his hand to decline.

In the original plot, Ayanokouji Fumimaro kept a close eye on Hattori Heiji because he really cared about the case, or cared about his position as the person in charge of the case, and did not want to be overshadowed by an unconventional detective. However, this was not the case this time.

The person he was mainly targeting was not Hattori Heiji, but Karasawa.

He probably knew in advance that because of his stronger background compared to other police officers, he would be pushed out to face the emotions and difficulties of Tang Ze, the person involved, like now. His apology would have more weight and he would be less likely to be implicated.

He was observing Tang Ze, the victim he was about to contact, considering what attitude to adopt and brewing his emotions.

But Tang Ze doesn't need any emotional pressure valve.

"No need for an apology. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and I only want to hold the true villains accountable. You haven't hurt me, so there's no need to apologize on their behalf." Tang Ze calmly declined the other party's red bean paste private Marseille and said, "Rather than verbal comfort, I still hope to see the case progress as soon as possible. I will wait in Tokyo."

What are we waiting for? Of course, we are waiting for Kyoto to complete its investigation, submit the materials, and reopen the case at the Supreme Court.

This sentence may sound harmless, but the pressure is not reduced at all.

This is not an easy child to deal with, Ayanokouji Fumimaro sighed secretly

"Of course, I will urge the process to be accelerated as much as possible." In the end, he could only bow slightly and said, "I am indeed sorry for the unpleasantness and injustice you experienced in Kyoto."

He left his good family background behind and became a front-line police officer. Of course, he had his own aspirations.

Seeing such a special case happen at his workplace, he felt very complicated.

"I don't hold any grudge against the police for this." Seeing him like the work process had been completed, Tang Ze stood up. "I want to believe that there were bad people who wanted to harm people. Not all police officers would do that. If you are truly sorry, don't let the victim down again this time."

My situation is indeed very special, and I am being targeted because of this special situation.

But they also cannot deny that this bug in the organization card also reveals a very serious vulnerability that needs to be corrected.

There is no shortage of lawyers who take advantage of loopholes. You should reflect on yourself when someone takes advantage of such a big loophole, right?

After understanding Tang Ze's subtext, Ayanokouji Fumimaro stopped talking and could only silently open the door and send Tang Ze out.

When Tang Ze walked out, all the people waiting in the office area turned their heads in unison and stared at them with a fierce look, which made Ayanokouji Fumimaro almost shiver.

The process has been completed. Logically speaking, Tang Ze came here just to show his identity, talk and sign, so there was no need for so many people to follow him.

Hattori Heiji and the others insisted on coming together, naturally because of Tang Ze's past experience, and they came to support and cheer their friend up.

If the police, who have already done something wrong, still don’t treat the victims well, they will really make trouble.

"I told you not to follow me." Tang Ze walked towards them with a smile, "This is the Metropolitan Police Department, what else could go wrong?"

"Who knows?" Hattori Heiji said seriously, "Although I am familiar with the police in Osaka, and you are also familiar with the police in Tokyo, but isn't this Kyoto?"

What this means is that the police here are not competent enough and what if something goes wrong?

"Okay, Hattori, we still need their close cooperation in the next trial." Tang Ze waved his hand to stop him from continuing.

It's not good for you to make others angry, so you should quit while you are ahead.

Only then did Hattori Heiji put away the unhappy expression on his face and turned to look at Conan and others who followed him.

Ran Mouri and Conan, as well as Suzuki Sonoko, who had been playing with him for several days, looked Tang Ze up and down carefully for a moment, confirmed that he was indeed safe and calm, and walked up to him.

"In this case, there is hope for a retrial in a few months."

"Yeah...it's really annoying to think that your protective observation period will be over by then."

"But if we can completely overturn the previous lawsuit, then all the records can be withdrawn, right? That way, Tang Ze can continue his future path with peace of mind..."

As they spoke, they, together with Hattori Heiji, Toyama and Kazuha, surrounded Karasawa and fully expressed their support.

With Tang Ze's financial resources and family background, whether he goes to college or works hard would not have a big impact. But if he loses the freedom to choose because of this criminal record, it would be outrageous.

Being able to resolve this criminal record by the end of his second year of high school means that if he wants to continue his studies, he still has time to apply to a school. This is already a good development.

It’s just a pity that Tang Ze has already wasted his life because of this, so their tone is naturally very biased.

"Thank you. I'm really fine." Tang Ze looked at them seriously and thanked them sincerely, "But I still want to thank you for your efforts for me."

Protective observation itself is a preferential treatment given to minors. The original intention is to hope that juvenile criminals can leave their original environment and get a relatively stable new life to see if they can correct their behavior and make some changes.

Being able to complete the protective observation period peacefully will not cause too serious impact on future life.

But they still tried their best to fight for a chance for a retrial for him, a chance to clear all these grievances.

Being able to feel their kindness, Tang Ze naturally wanted to express his gratitude.

"Especially you. You are indeed a qualified detective, Hattori."

After expressing his general thanks, Tang Ze turned to look at Hattori Heiji and extended his hand to him very solemnly.

Hattori Heiji, who was a little confused, reflexively raised his hand, and was then held tightly by Tang Ze.

"You have solved the commission I gave you very perfectly. You have been running around for a long time and even put in so much energy for this. I really thank you." Tang Ze said sincerely.

When he made this commission, whether to Hattori Heiji or Edogawa Conan, he did not expect them to really solve the matter.

His purpose was to build closer relations and to draw out the common enemy, the Black Organization, but Hattori Heiji really pushed it to the limit and it can be said that he maximized the additional points.

Hattori Heiji, who rarely heard Karasawa use so many honorifics, felt embarrassed: "We're all friends, there's no need to say thank you. I always complete the commissions I accept seriously, so please don't lower my completion rate."

Really, from the beginning we were in a relationship of detective and client, it's embarrassing to talk about it so seriously.

Tang Ze narrowed his eyes and smiled, then waited for a few seconds.

After hearing the cracking sound in his ears and Leon's voice sounded as promised, Tang Ze pretended not to hear it and continued speaking.

"My case has been resolved to some extent, and you've found your first love. This trip to Kyoto was a complete success, wasn't it? It's something worth celebrating. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Although I haven't been to many restaurants, I do know a good one near where you live."

"Huh?!" Before Hattori Heiji could react, Toyama Kazuha shouted loudly, "Found your first love? Huh?"

Hattori Heiji's eyes suddenly widened.

He said thank you and then took off his underwear. Is this how you thank him, Tang Ze?!

Before he could grab Tang Ze and blame him, Tang Ze, who had recovered from the attack, withdrew his hand with satisfaction and turned away.

"Tang Ze, you're such an ungrateful guy... No, He Ye, that's not what I meant..."

"Let's go, take a break and have a meal."

"Okay, but it's better to celebrate something serious. Let's go on a nice trip, shall we?"

"Huh? Isn't this already traveling?"

"Oh, how can you travel to someone else's hometown? Besides, you didn't have much fun anyway."

"Okay, then I'll listen to you..."

"Don't pretend you didn't hear it, Tang Ze, hey!"
