Chapter 702 Ah Shirley Is Late but Here She Comes
"Going to see the Twin Towers in Nishitama City? Why did you suddenly decide like this?" Conan, who was looking through his cell phone out of boredom, looked up at Dr. Agasa in astonishment.
"The children all want to go over there and see it. After all, it's really high. You can see it from our direction." Dr. Ali put away the dishes and replied casually, "It's normal for children to be curious."
"What's more, the view of that building is very good. From their large viewing elevator, you can see almost the entire Mount Fuji. It's very beautiful." Haibara Ai, who was wearing headphones, added.
Dr. A Li raised his eyebrows, stopped what he was doing, and looked at Haibara Ai who was writing and drawing in his notebook: "Hey, have you paid attention to the situation in that building? Don't you want to go and see it too? "Xiao Ai."
"Well, it's just a coincidence..." Haiyuan Ai, who was preparing to come up with some mathematical results based on the records and comparisons sent by Noah, paused.
She was usually interested in this kind of city construction and tourism news, but she couldn't stand the group of phantom thieves next door who were jumping up and down and making a lot of noise. She couldn't even think about it.
Anyway, after unremitting efforts, the false identity created by Karasawa became a disciple of Kisaragi Hosui. The focus of the Phantom Thieves' recent strategy shifted accordingly, and they began to shoot down many celebrities involved in the art world, almost every day. An art critic, or collector, or even the artist himself who sees a new incident...
It’s not clear whether Kisaragi Fongsui, as Karasawa said, had enough paranoid spiritual power to support him in resurrecting the next deceased police officer, Haihara Ai, but looking at their recent vigorous momentum, maybe Kisaragi Fongsui is not needed Water, they can all come up with one person.
"It's a skyscraper. It's a novelty for the kids... I just don't know if it will be open to visitors. I read on the news that the opening ceremony of the building hasn't started yet." Dr. A Li muttered.
"I stopped by to take a look on the way back. I think the children will lose interest if they come closer and take a look downstairs. There is nothing to see in the urban nails driven by reinforced concrete." Haiyuan Ai shook his head and continued Diving into the ocean of mathematics.
Hey, Noah's experimental data model has become more and more mature. If only he could completely take over the data processing work...
Forget it, if you rely on others to do scientific research, it’s easy to get sucked into failure because of luck.
Lowering her head again, Haibara Ai, immersed in calculations, stopped paying attention to the discussion between Conan and the doctor at the dinner table, as well as the conversation between the elementary school students who had returned from catching butterflies.
"I'm still studying when I go out to play. Sometimes I feel sad that I'm having a hard time." Ayumi Yoshida looked over and expressed tactfully.
She wasn't very good at understanding what was on the paper, but those dense numbers and forms were really dizzying.
"If you want to say that it's not interesting for her to come out to play together and read a book all the time, you can just say that." Motojima reminded in a low voice.
"This is very rude." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya stopped righteously.
"I think you just think she's cute, and you have some weird prejudice." Kojima Mota glanced at Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya's face with disdain, and mentally condemned this classmate who was only in the first grade of elementary school and was only thinking about romantic relationships. .
"It seems that this shouldn't be called prejudice, this should be called, uh..." Ayumi, whose Chinese language was not much better, got stuck.
"It's called a filter." Conan complained softly and looked away from Haihara Ai's paper.
To be honest, he was also very curious about what Haihara Ai, who had taken away the Belmode sample, had researched.
I really hope that there will be more progress in the development of Haiyuan's antidote. He really doesn't want to play the joker game all day long in the future in order to avoid the sequelae...
Thinking of joker, Conan clicked on the SNS page and searched for the Phantom Thieves tag. Unsurprisingly, he saw a news photo of a man walking into a police station surrounded by spotlights with a slumped face.
What happened to this group of people recently? There was an explosion of sudden actions. The notice letters flying around Tokyo almost made people worry about the environment. The Phantom Thieves' logos appeared on various media so frequently that it made him happy to see them. Aesthetic fatigue.
Could it be that after Kitagawa Yusuke won the prize, he came into contact with wealthy business collectors of a higher level, and began to excavate as if he had discovered a treasure...
Oops, I feel like I've been somewhat contaminated by joker's weird words. He also started to like to use some weird metaphors.
Conan shook his head vigorously, getting rid of that joking face from his mind, put down his cell phone, and rejoined the discussion of several elementary school students.
It's better to spend some time with the children to wash their minds.

"Hey, sister? Well, I'm fine, I'm having a good time. You have to take care of yourself there, and if someone goes too far, remember to protest. Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore. It won’t be a problem even if I’m alone outside.”
Late at night, Genta Kojima secretly walked out of the tent after getting up and walked towards the public toilet. What he saw was Ai Haibara standing under the streetlight not far away and making a call on a public phone.
He squinted his sleepy eyes, looked at the clock not far away, and then looked at the girl standing in the phone booth strangely, full of doubts.
It's really strange. Doesn't Huiyuan have a cell phone? I saw her wearing headphones and listening to music in the afternoon. Why is she calling a public phone now?
Because of the distance, Kojima Motota didn't hear her words clearly, and hurried to run to the public toilet.
Maybe she was a little homesick after getting up at night, so she called her family. Huiyuan's brother is a classmate of Xiaolan and her friends.
By the way, isn't it too late to call at this time...
"Don't worry, I've had enough sleep recently, but Tang Ze is really busy." Miyano Akemi glanced at the time close to midnight and shook her head, "I wish he could worry less."
Tang Ze has many different identities. Even if Hoshikawa Teru helps him share some of his schedule, he is still very busy.
As the Phantom Thief of Hearts, he is responsible for deciding the overall work plan, dealing with the newly discovered targets in the art world, and doing daily impression space tasks. Even if so many members are running around for him, it takes a lot of time just to make plans and investigate the situation.
On the other hand, as Kumail, he is also responsible for the busy schedule of Akechi Goro's internet celebrity detective and the investigation tasks assigned by the organization. The invasion of the computer room of the twin towers in Nishitama City cannot be neglected.
The life of an ordinary student must continue, the contact between the zero group and the FBI must still be maintained, and the relationship must be communicated, and time must be taken to walk on the streets of Shibuya to find arms...
Now, because of the strengthened contact with Kisaragi Minemi, in addition to the courses he goes to his house two or three times a week, Kitagawa Yusuke has some more social tasks. Miyano Akemi is deeply worried about whether Karasawa is sleeping every day.
Can they really hold on in this cycle?
"If you want to find a glimmer of hope and change your destiny, you must not stop here. I can understand this feeling. I will also work hard, sister. I will go to see the twin towers in Nishitama City later. Good night, go to bed early." Huiyuan Ai hung up the phone and sighed a little.
In the afternoon, I was too busy with data matters and forgot that they were out camping this time and needed to stay in the suburbs at night, so there was no chance to charge their mobile phones.
When she remembered to call her sister every day to check her safety, her cell phone had been out of battery for a while.
Among the children, only Ayumi brought a cell phone, but it was not safe. The only phone that might be protected by Noah was Kudo's, but she couldn't openly borrow Kudo's phone to call her sister and Karasawa, after all, she would discuss things related to the Phantom Thieves...
After thinking about it, she had to use a public phone.
Anyway, Noah was in charge of the communication security on her sister's side. Even if someone discovered her side, it would be difficult for people to locate the person communicating on the public phone.
The organization should not conduct such exaggerated signal monitoring, probably.
A little uneasy, but feeling that the overall problem was not big, Huihara Ai shook her head and slowly walked back to the direction of the tent.

"Shirley's voice?"
Seeing that it was the communication from the technical department, Gin, who was quite dissatisfied with them because of the problem of the Twin Towers' computer room, sat up immediately when he heard the other party's message.
"Yes, it may be because of the public phone, the sound is slightly distorted, but the organization's internal network requires multiple biometric information to unlock, and her voiceprint has been in the database..." Gin was not interested in listening to their detailed explanation of the principle. He just waited for Vodka to come back from the convenience store to buy water, then raised his chin and signaled the other party to take out the computer and accept the audio analysis file from the technical department. Due to the information leakage problem in the Twin Towers, the technical department was severely reprimanded by the superiors. Knowing that they were serving a criminal organization, the technical department dared not neglect it and was very diligent in checking and monitoring the communication messages near Nishitama City. The organization that lost Noah's Ark suffered a serious blow in database management and other aspects, but computer technology is still the technical direction that is most deeply integrated with cognitive science. The organization's reserves of programmers are always increasing. Programmers such as Jiangyuan Shinan who were packaged and handed over by Kumer are still increasing. In terms of technical strength, when they are not sick, they still have enough cutting-edge technical capabilities. As a result, there was an unexpected surprise all of a sudden. "Hello, sister?... Take care of yourself over there. If someone goes too far, remember to protest.... I'm not a child anymore. It's okay even if I'm alone outside..."
The unique, cold and soft voice came out in the distorted sound quality after the transmission of the radio wave. Gin identified the owner of this audio at a glance without any technical identification.
"Shirley, this time, I really caught you by the tail..." Gin bit the cigarette butt in his mouth and showed a smile full of bloodthirsty murderous intent.
The last time Shirley's traces were found, it was finally proved to be a trick of the Phantom Thieves. The arrest of Joker also failed. In the end, he could only execute the old and dim-eyed Pisco in a rage. The frustration caused by this incident has been lingering for Gin.
Although Top Killer does not mean that the mission is 100% completed, such a serious information misjudgment, the use of four code members, and the final result is just abandoning an old thing, this kind of thing is still a great insult to him.
"Isn't she hanging out with that group of Phantom Thieves now? This phone call doesn't sound right..." Vodka looked at the audio on the screen with a strange look on his face, feeling that something was wrong.
Shirley's tone was as if her sister Akemi Miyano was still alive, and she was just a little girl who was traveling and needed to call her relatives to make sure she was safe.
This certain person was also very concerning...
But Akemi Miyano was indeed dead, right in front of them. Not only did they see it with their own eyes, but Vodka also checked her vital signs. This could not be faked.
Vodka thought about it for a few seconds, and soon gave up thinking, looking at Gin with a blank face.
"It should be that the people in the Phantom Thieves did not allow her to contact the outside world at will, but she couldn't help but want to call her dead sister to talk." Gin grinned cruelly, "After all, all her relatives are no longer alive, and she is such a weak guy."
He was not surprised by Shirley's words. After all, if she was talking to Akemi Miyano in heaven, she would have too many people to talk to.
Not only the Miyano family, but also Miyano Elena's sister and the Tangze family, have all been scattered and become the nourishment of the organization.
Theoretically, the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, who had already seized Noah's Ark from the organization, would not have made a mistake that would allow Shirley's information to leak to the outside world, but Shirley was such an emotional person. She suddenly had an idea and ran to use a public phone to call her sister in heaven, which was not beyond Gin's expectations.
Just like when she found out that the whole family of Karasawa was dead and learned about the death of Miyano Akemi, Shirley, who had lost her mind, even bared her teeth and claws at him, completely ignoring the unbalanced strength gap between the two sides.
If she was really calm enough, less emotional, pretended to have discovered nothing and continued to do experiments, and then planted mines for the organization during the research and development process, then he would really praise her for having ideas.
So Gin sometimes also understands why Vermouth hates Shirley so much.
"A sentimental, weak woman, who has been trained by the organization for so many years, seems to be forced to do everything." Gin sneered, remembering something, "Karazawa Ichikawa tried his best to train such a useless waste. I really want to see the expression of this guy when he knows about this."
Vodka pushed his sunglasses, lowered his head, pretended not to hear anything, and dealt with the documents in his hand.
When the eldest brother mentioned Karasawa Ichikawa, it is best to pretend to be deaf, otherwise it will cause the dissatisfaction of the eldest brother Gin, and he may really be deaf next.
"Do you need to notify Bourbon and the others? Since they are planning to destroy the traces of the Twin Towers, then Shirley..." Vodka was silent for a minute, and asked about the next plan as if nothing had happened.
"There is no need for that. I will go by myself." Gin, who calmed down again, lit another cigarette and shook his head.
"Huh?" Vodka was stunned for a moment, and soon understood the eldest brother's thoughts.
To be more precise, Gin did not distrust Bourbon and Kumail, he did not trust everyone.
If Gin doesn't do some things himself, he will always be suspicious. This is the way he has managed to stay in the organization until today.
"Shirley can't act alone. Since she is going to appear there, there is a chance to find more traces of the Phantom Thieves. Don't let Kumel know about this."
Gin gave a cold conclusion after exhaling a puff of smoke.
Bourbon is easy to say. He has obtained the most basic protection after being qualified for promotion, but Kumel does not.
If such a powerful special talent is discovered by the Phantom Thieves, the organization may lose more than just some intelligence.
————
On the other side, Tang Ze is probably in no mood to thank Gin for his consideration at this time.
After all, he is being ruthlessly targeted by another version of Gin.
"Ouch——"
"Customer, be careful." Quickly supporting Tang Ze who was about to fall down, Matsuda Jinpei helplessly adjusted his royal blue hat, "Did you offend him somewhere? I see that although he doesn't talk much, he won't torment people like this."
"Who knows, maybe it's a conflict of fate." Tang Ze looked at the cleaner Gin in white clothes completely ignoring his existence, dragging a huge mop away, and swallowed his anger to pick up the questionnaire again, "You haven't finished answering my questions."
"As a result, not only Mr. Jing, but also I will be checked?" Matsuda Jinpei blinked his golden eyes and sighed helplessly.
"I have come here to consume so many times, can't I have some privileges?" Tang Ze's hand holding the questionnaire was still very stable.
"But last time, you even wanted to ask what color underwear I was wearing. This kind of thing..." Cognitive Matsuda Jinpei sighed helplessly, "Do I have to answer? Keep some privacy for others..."
"...Let me do it." Tang Ze was about to continue to ask questions relentlessly, when a hand reached out from the side, took Tang Ze's questionnaire, and stood in front of Cognitive Matsuda Jinpei.
"Senior, this..." Tang Ze looked at the complicated face of Zhu Fu Jingguang, and then looked at the Cognitive Zhu Fu Jingguang who was still standing at the counter and was a little distracted. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
No matter who it is, even if it is Furuya Rei himself, coming to this hall and seeing those things that represent too much sacrifice and blood and tears, it would probably be difficult to keep a good mood.
"It's okay, I'll do it." Zhu Fu Jingguang shook his head firmly and took the initiative to raise the question board, "If you don't answer, I'll fill it out for you, okay? Anyway, even if I tell others about it..."
"No, no, no! Don't write nonsense, hey, I'll tell you, isn't it okay for me to tell you!"
