The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

Chapter 888 "Justice"

On the other side, in the Phantom Thieves' operations room, three members of the Resurrection Team were sitting in front of their computers, each holding a cup of coffee, silently listening to Tang Ze's clear voice coming from the speakers in front.

"Hagi, why do you look like that?"

Matsuda Jinpei, who was deeply moved by what he heard, turned around and wanted to share his thoughts on Karasawa's speech with them, but he saw Hagiwara Kenji with a shocked face staring blankly at the computer in front of him with no screen, and he even forgot to drink the coffee that was brought to his mouth.

After being called by him, Kenji Hagiwara turned his head back out of habit and finally came to his senses. He quickly took a sip of warm and bitter coffee, opened his mouth, but could not form any suitable words.

It can be seen that Tang Ze's words had a great impact on this friend who had just joined the Phantom Thieves not long ago.

"Because Hagiwara actually had a rather subtle impression of Tang Ze before." Zhu Fu Jingguang thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "After all, the timing of his appearance was rather subtle, and all he saw right away was Tang Ze's, um, this side."

For Karasawa, these policemen who were completely strangers to him before his resurrection were just friends of Furuya Rei. They were different from those who were personally selected by Karasawa and invited to the Phantom Thieves.

As for Kenji Hagiwara, as soon as he came into contact with Karasawa, he saw that he was scheming, experienced and ruthless, and that he always tied the Phantom Thieves to himself and went in and out together. Even out of his nature as a detective, it would take some time for him to let down his guard and calmly accept such a strange child who had done so many thankless things for Furuya Rei and them out of pure kindness.

While observing Karasawa, he suddenly heard such a comment from him, which had a great impact on Kenji Hagiwara, who had not been a policeman for long.

"No, I just..." Hagiwara Kenji shook his head and slowly exhaled the indescribable anger that made his chest swell with the coffee he swallowed. "I didn't expect that he thought so highly of the police."

Much higher than he himself evaluated his previous career.

If I have to say, among all of Furuya Rei's close classmates in the police academy, Kenji Hagiwara considers himself to be the one with the least ambition.

Furuya Rei is looking for the warmth of his childhood and wants to pass it on; Matsuda Jinpei is here for his father's case, to put it bluntly, he is here to clean up the workplace; Date Kou was influenced by his father and decided before becoming a policeman to pursue justice and responsibility without fear of danger; Morobushi Kagemitsu has experienced an extremely tragic murder and wants to find an answer to break free from the nightmare...

He was the only one who chose this industry, mainly because his sister was a traffic policeman and being a policeman was a stable job. Since Jinpei Matsuda was determined to try it, he had no reason to refuse.

"Actually, I have secretly paid attention to Tang Ze's attitude. When I just came back, his evaluation of me was beyond imagination. I learned a little bit about how he and Ling knew each other and became colleagues on the United Front. After thinking about it, there should be only one reason why he made this choice at that time, that is, he really found that Zero was a good policeman." Zhu Fujingguang patted his shoulder in understanding, "I think Tang Ze probably said it from the heart."

"...I'm not questioning this." Hagiwara Kenji shook his head with a helpless look and looked at the computer in front of him again.

For some reason, Tang Ze, who discovered that Noah was secretly broadcasting, had already taken action to deal with the broadcaster, and now it was quiet over there.

"I just feel a little lucky all of a sudden." Hagiwara Kenji, who had only been a police officer for a few months, smiled brightly. "Although I didn't think too much when I became a police officer, and I didn't have any lofty ideals, but in the end, I don't think I have let him down. It's great."

Being able to respond to the unspoken expectations and aspirations of guys like Tang Ze may be the greatest significance of his short police career.

At the other end of the Polo Cafe, Tang Ze reached out without hesitation and squeezed Noah, who was leaning on his bag and pretending to have done nothing, and shook his head silently in his heart.

This was just a casual conversation, and it is impossible for Furuya Rei to have prepared in advance. Then how did Hagiwara Kenji hear him talking? Just think about it and you will know that there is only one suspect.

For some reason, some scenes that fit the description of a mystery novel suddenly appeared in his mind. It looked like the villain was talking to himself, but in fact, there were people eavesdropping inside and outside...

This guy Noah, I allowed him to report his situation to the team members to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings between him and these guys who were not convenient to come out and chat casually. But isn't it asking him to send random messages without even saying hello?

You can listen if you want to, or watch if you want to. Does he, as the leader of the group, have any privacy left?

After dealing with the traitor with ruthless hands, Tang Ze lowered his eyes and stared at the Tarot that appeared in the air.

[Balanced and harmonious, impartial, with a kind heart, but not using his good dancing skills for evil purposes... Facing this unbalanced world with a frank and honest face, Kenji Hagiwara, who died young and did not get much attention, is such a character.

Like many ordinary yet great police officers, no matter what their mentality was in the past, whether they went with the flow or not, they might occasionally slack off, be sneaky and play tricks, but when the danger came, the flash of humanity replaced everything and they became heroic monuments.

Although the Tarot describes a test of the soul and the journey and footprints of the Fool in the world, rather than describing good and evil in a literal sense, even if we consider it from a literal perspective, Kenji Hagiwara, who pounced on the bomb without hesitation at that moment, is definitely worthy of the praise of "justice".

...If those things hadn't happened, and you had become an ordinary police officer, would you have taken this path? This might be what you really dream of. 】

[Learn the ability "Basic Driving Mastery" (all vehicles)]

"Cough cough cough..."

What is that? Huh? What is that?

Is it really for driving? And what is a full vehicle? Thanks for the rocket reward?

Elementary proficiency doesn't sound like a very powerful thing, but considering that this is a driving genius who just graduated from university and his driving skills are even more outrageous than today's Rei Furuya, elementary proficiency for him...

Thinking that he was only slightly above the elementary level, Tang Ze, who had already become a well-known new star in the Japanese painting world, said: "..."

Hattori Heiji was so excited by Karasawa's bland but thought-provoking comments that he was about to say something inspiring when he saw Karasawa, who had noticed him, suddenly arched his back and started coughing after clutching his bag.

"Hey, hey, didn't you know that I was upstairs?" Hattori Heiji walked up to Tang Ze and patted him on the back to calm him down, complaining, "How could I scare you like this..."

Tang Ze choked on a mouthful of hot coffee and adjusted his breathing while glancing at Hattori Heiji.

Did you scare me? You think too highly of yourself, don't you?

Never mind, his tank brother's main point is confidence, Tang Ze understands. "It's not a good habit to eavesdrop on people's conversations. Oh, no, you're a detective. That might be a good habit for you." Amuro glanced at the high school student who also had dark skin, and couldn't help but spit out a slightly yin-yang remark.

Fortunately, when Tang Ze was talking to him, the topic shifted to Tang Ze himself because of what happened to Koshimizu Nanatsuki. If they had continued the conversation, wouldn't Koshimizu Nanatsuki's plan have been exposed?

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked forward to this variety show which originally sounded very silly.

Even if it can't be officially broadcast in the end, it's still fun to see these overconfident detective boys make fools of themselves.

Tang Ze, who had recovered his breath, glanced over.

Do you want to listen to what you are saying, Mr. Amuro?

Oh my god, the undercover police officer mocked the detective for eavesdropping.

"It's okay if you want to stay here for two days. But don't disturb the normal business of the cafe and don't rummage around or ask around in the cafe. It's okay for me to take you in temporarily." Amuro Toru took out a new cup without any self-awareness, thought for a moment, and just poured him a glass of boiled water.

For those who come to eat and drink for free, just drink whatever you want and that's it. There's no need to be so particular.

Hattori Heiji curled his lips, feeling like he had just heard a similar request: "One by one, everyone said that I seemed to have some dark desire to pry into other people's private lives..."

Tang Ze, who had just been eavesdropped by him in the corner for a few minutes, looked back silently.

Really, didn't you?

"That was an accident just now. I wasn't listening on purpose, okay?" Hattori Heiji fully understood Tang Ze's gaze this time and denied it flatly, "Compared to this, your remarks really surprised me..."

He always felt that although Tang Ze seemed to be a good man who was eager to help others and would not care about his own safety in a critical moment, as if he had a sense of responsibility and justice engraved in his instincts, when faced with complex cases involving grievances and hatred, Tang Ze actually often disagreed with the practices of the police and detectives.

The former did not need confirmation. He felt that Tang Ze did not need to act in this regard, and no one could pretend for so long.

After communicating with Souji Okita, he learned from the other party how Tang Ze, who was very resistant to meeting ordinary people at that time and worried about attracting the attention of the organization, was unilaterally recognized as a friend by Souji Okita.

At that time, Karasawa's situation was actually not much better than after he came to Tokyo, but when he ran into Okita Souji, who was about to get into a car accident due to a drunk driver on the way to school, he did not consider at all that Okita was actually a kendo master. Without thinking, he threw away his commuter bag and pushed away Okita who was almost hit.

Although strictly speaking, Karasawa might not have done that, and Okita, who has a strong reaction speed and physical fitness, might not really be injured, Hattori Heiji was still very touched when he later learned from Kudo that the commuter bag actually contained the real relics left by Karasawa's parents.

As for the latter, the case that happened when he just met Tang Ze is enough to illustrate the problem. The "justice" that Tang Ze recognizes in his heart is somewhat different from what the police and detectives understand. He supports result justice and simple and direct justice, so he will even approve of the degree of tit-for-tat revenge to a certain extent.

Coming from the mouth of such a person, words like that he admires and respects the police are still shocking, at least to Hattori Heiji.

He comes from a family of police officers, but he doesn't trust the police that much.

Tang Ze shrugged, and before his thoughts wandered to his own unjust case, he smiled carefreely: "Okay, don't start associating it with the case I encountered and feel sorry for me. That was a conspiracy of the organization, not the true nature of the police. Of course, admiration does not mean taking the police's standards as a criterion, I may not do that myself."

So please don’t fill in any miserable youth literature about him without permission. He really didn’t turn evil after being arrested, you iron-blooded red party members.

"There's not only one standard policeman." The very non-standard policeman Furuya Rei immediately retorted.

"It's the same no matter what the standard is." Tang Ze, a serious outlaw, was also very calm.

If we really want to put his actions after coming to Tokyo in court for interrogation, we will find that he is a serious murderer, robber, and plunderer, and he was not endorsed by any official organization when he was an undercover agent...

"...I always feel like you two are not talking about the same topic as me." Hattori Heiji narrowed his eyes.

"Your illusion." Tang Ze cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject. "You are going to stay until the variety show starts recording, right? Didn't the cast of that variety show just get decided? Will it start filming so soon?"

"That's about right. The date they notified me is during these few days." Hattori Heiji, whose attention was easily diverted, glanced at the calendar and said, "I was thinking, it's a good opportunity to bring Kazuha over to play for two days..."

Really? You and Conan are together, and you also brought Toyama and Ye along. It's really ominous to let you two run around in Tokyo...

Tang Ze thought about it and said cautiously: "How about this, before the variety show starts, you should confirm the details of the show with the production team or other guests..."

"Indeed." Amuro Toru nodded. "Nichimi TV always designs some outrageous programs. It's easy to get into trouble if you don't understand the inside story."

This suggestion is actually quite pertinent. Since they accepted the invitation from the program team purely in their personal capacity, they really need to know more about the details of the program. However, Hattori Heiji just nodded halfway when he suddenly couldn't click any further.

He looked at Tang Ze who was sitting next to him, and then looked at Amuro Toru who was standing at the bar, staring at him silently and wiping the glass in his hand until it made a creaking sound. He suddenly had a bad premonition.

Tang Ze, and Amuro Toru, people they are familiar with and understand about this show...

"I knew it..." Seeing Goro Akechi coming from the other end of the street screaming, Hattori Heiji let out a sigh of despair.
