Chapter 887 About Justice

"To name a high school student detective who is the best in Japan? What a boring thing."

Looking at Hattori and Heiji who suddenly came to stay, Mouri Kogoro rolled his eyelids in disgrace, and commented sharply: "Even if the competition really comes out and one of you wins, then with such a It’s impossible for anyone to admit a number one with multiple qualifiers.”

What's more, in order to make the name sound good and facilitate the program flow, this so-called "high school detective" selection, except for the eastern part, has not been finalized. Only one high school student detective who meets the requirements is selected from each region, both selected and invited. They are all TV stations, so this is even more child's play.

"You little brats, it's time to grow up. If you really regard detective as a graduate career, what's the use of just caring about some names." Mouri Kogoro sneered very rudely, "Let me tell you, really The one who deserves to be ranked first is Akechi Goro. He can handle things better than you. Fame is meaningless if it cannot be converted into substantial commercial value and social status. That guy's commission fee is now higher than mine. "

Hattori Heiji, who was gearing up because of the so-called representatives of the Southeast and Northwest regions, narrowed his eyes.

He would not like to hear anyone praise Goro Akechi.

If such a guy with a dubious identity, no bottom line in his work, and no matter how pretentious it is to seek fame and reputation can be compared to him, no matter how he thinks about it, he feels that something is wrong with this society!

"What you said sounded too coppery." Hattori Heiji then made a fanning gesture and immediately retorted, "I heard it was only said by an elderly uncle."

The veins on Mouri Kogoro's forehead suddenly popped out: "The brat who comes to other people's houses to eat and drink has no right to look down on this and that! You can be a detective without any worries, not because of your family. The conditions are good! Others are not as relaxed as you!”

"Humph, at worst I won't eat your food, I'll go downstairs to eat at Karasawa's food." Hattori Heiji crossed his arms not to be outdone, "Karasawa's cooking is much better than yours!"

"He himself is dependent on others, and you have the nerve to take advantage of him!"

"What's wrong? It's not like I don't give you money! I also brought souvenirs when I came to stay at your house!"

…

"...That's it." After describing what happened in the morning, Hattori Heiji spread his hands towards the speechless Karasawa, "I was kicked out. So, before the variety show officially starts, I have to make do with you. ”

Karasawa sank into his soft bean bag sofa, looking at Hattori Heiji sitting carelessly on his bed, and sighed heavily.

Guys who are too familiar with themselves are such a headache.

They must be considered good friends now, but to suddenly come to your door without saying hello and ask to share a room with you is still too borderline.

Well, it’s not a big deal to really take him in for a day or two. The problem is, if you Hei Hattori is preparing to participate in a variety show, don’t I, Goro Akechi, need it?

After patting his head, Tangze said helplessly: "This is my current residence, but in the end I'm just a renter...and there is only one single bed here..."

"It's okay. I asked Kazuha. She will send a quilt over in a moment and I'll just make the floor." Hattori Heiji waved his hand, "I'm just sleeping on the floor of the attic. I don't mind."

Is it a matter of whether you mind or not?

And why did Yuan Shan and Ye check in well, but you were kicked downstairs? Do you want to seriously reflect on this issue?

Sure enough, he can't deal with this type of guy the most. No matter how things happen, he will be the one who is troubled.

Karasawa looked at the playful and smiling Hattori Heiji and said quietly: "Yeah, you definitely don't mind. It's not like you've never slept in an attic. Maybe you really like this kind of environment."

Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment before he realized that Karasawa was referring to the last time he came to investigate but was plotted against, and was beaten up and locked up in the attic by the associates of the evil lawyer.

"I really want to thank you that time. If you and Kudo hadn't taken the initiative to come here, even if I could escape, I might have been seriously injured." He touched his chin. Not only did he not get Karasawa's Yin Yang actually thanked her sincerely.

Karasawa, an outstanding Kyoto native, was rarely speechless and patted his forehead helplessly.

Forget it, why are you talking to such a nervous idiot like Sunshine...

"Forget it, it's up to you. You can use the sofa and cabinet as you like, but you're not allowed to rummage through my things. I'll ask Mr. Amuro."

"Yes, then the acting fee is settled here. You should have seen our contract. The finished film needs to be reviewed by our agency before it is officially broadcast... Yes, that's it... I'm sorry. , but this is related to our brand goodwill..."

Seeing Karasawa walking down, Toru Amuro first raised a finger to ask him to wait a moment, and continued to talk to the person on the other end of the phone in a calm and unhurried manner. Karasawa listened to the key words for a while. Already guessed what he was doing.

Whether the part-time emperor Toru Amuro is qualified to be an excellent agent or firm manager Karasawa doesn't know, but what he does know is that with his relaxed conversation skills, the program staff on the other end of the phone contacted Amuro. Toru has really been unlucky for eight lifetimes.

Who better to negotiate with than a good undercover agent?

The intensity of business negotiations pales in comparison to the pressure of secret operations in criminal organizations.

"Okay, no problem. Thank you for your understanding. I will wait for you to communicate the interim results. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

After hanging up the phone, Amuro Toru's fake business smile immediately disappeared. Seeing Tang Ze pretending to be innocent, he couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"You have so many business in Nichimi TV, why do you have to participate in this kind of inexplicable variety show?" Amuro Toru, who has a lot more work, was very unhappy. "I think you just want to have fun. The previous shows were the same."

At this point, the period when Akechi Goro consolidated his personality has long passed. This "genius detective" has become a household name in Tokyo. Except that he is still young and can't catch up with Kudo Shinichi's former heyday, he has already become a representative of the new generation of detectives.

In fact, now Akechi Goro, in addition to concentrating on accepting commissions and solving cases, doesn't need to care so much about the connections in the entertainment industry, but Tang Ze seems to have some unique obsession. He would rather increase his workload several times than give up this part of the business.

Amuro Toru fully suspected that this guy might have participated in too many variety shows and eaten too much gossip in the entertainment industry, and was worried that he would have nothing to eat after he stopped working in this industry... Considering that Tang Ze sometimes loves to watch the fun, this speculation is not groundless...

"You really wronged me this time." Tang Ze raised his hands, "There is someone else who wants to organize the party this time. At best, I can only be regarded as doing a small favor for him and testing the strength of Kiel."

This time he was wronged, that is to say, I didn't wrong you before, right?

Toru Amuro retracted his death gaze and wiped the coffee pot in his hand: "That means that this variety show may have a case or something like that."

"It should be said that it was born because of the case." Tang Ze sat down at the bar and took the coffee handed over by Toru Amuro. "How should I put it? It's okay to tell you. The focus of this variety show invitation can be on the remuneration. As for the script and direction of the show... Don't worry, it won't be broadcast."

The Phantom Thieves unexpectedly solved the dilemma of the death of Nanatsuki Koshimizu's friend, and to a certain extent eliminated Nanatsuki Koshimizu's murderous intentions - this can be seen from the fact that she has not had a shadow so far - but the victims of this case are more or less really a bit damnable.

For Tang Ze, considering the number of cases solved by the other party, regardless of whether Nanatsuki Koshimizu will be so angry that she wants to smash this dogecoin again after contacting the real person, whether another resentful victim will emerge from somewhere, no one knows.

If the world thinks that this guy who tarnishes the reputation of high school detectives should not be alive, Tang Ze can only say that some people are supposed to die, but the good local social security and the high quality of the people around them have temporarily postponed the execution time.

With some emotion, Tang Ze briefly picked out the key points, hiding the identity of Nanatsuki Koshimizu, and started from the heart thief accepting her request for help, and introduced the cause and effect.     "...Originally, she didn't plan to do a serious program planning." Tang Ze shrugged, "But after listening to her, I think she can try to find Nichimi TV. They are famous for risking their lives for topics, and they dare to try any outrageous plans. Having a public media platform will also help her."

The original Nanatsuki Koshimizu had a very determined and thorough intention to kill.

After she screened out the possible real murderer, she found the housekeeper who was responsible for the death of her friend, pretended to be a staff member of the program group, and sent several candidate detectives to the uninhabited island.

At that time, she had the mentality of taking everyone with her if she couldn't find the specific murderer. She didn't think about the aftermath at all, or in other words, she didn't think about how to survive.

Now it's different. Nanatsuki Koshimizu has no resources or connections, and it's impossible for her to persuade a big TV station to accompany her to host a variety show, but Karasawa has them!

During the time he worked as Goro Akechi, he was very popular in the TV station.

He is a hot topic, photogenic, good at dealing with things, and has a sense of variety. If he is not a detective, he can be called a popular idol.

Combined with his special identity, his background is not simple at all. Let alone just taking the lead in starting a project, if he suddenly has a whim and wants to host a variety show as the MC, Nichimi TV may even give him a time slot.

"She selected the specific candidates, saying that the local reports on the case did not give the exact names of the people, only a few vague descriptions. In fact, there was no need to call me, I was already outside the suspect list, but people should still do things from beginning to end, since I started this... huh?"

As he was talking, Tang Ze looked up and bumped into the fixed gaze of Amuro Toru with a frown on his face.

Amuro Toru, who had a relaxed expression just now, now had a worried guardian expression again, as if Tang Ze had said something extraordinary.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not hiding anything this time, I'm telling the truth."

Amuro Toru didn't put down his arms around his arms: "So, this time it's because of empathy in this regard, so you want to see the result of the matter?"

Because of the detective's wrong reasoning, the person who initiated the variety show, judging from the personal pronouns used by Tang Ze, is a lady. Her friend was identified as a suspect in the murder case by the police, and she was ruthlessly pressured and questioned as if she were the real murderer.

Although it didn’t reach the level of violence, this kind of pressure might be worse than direct violence.

For a young person, being regarded as a criminal by the police is a very terrifying feeling. In this regard, no one is more profound than Tang Ze.

Although Tang Ze’s special identity allowed him to escape the restraint of the protective observation period by chance, facing this victim who was somewhat similar to him, did Tang Ze once again trigger some emotions...

"Mr. Amuro." Tang Ze laughed dumbly, "I have said that I really have no opinion on the police."

Hattori Heiji, who came down from the attic, just stepped on the last two steps of the stairs and heard this sentence.

He saw that Tang Ze had not responded for a long time after going downstairs, and suspected that the other party was just an excuse to say hello to the guardian, but actually didn’t want to face him so he ran away secretly. Hattori Heiji thought for a moment and remembered that Tang Ze just asked him not to move things, and didn’t ask him to stay still, so he immediately got up and walked down from the attic.

"Don't think that I sometimes laugh at detectives and policemen, but I actually admire this profession." Tang Ze stirred the coffee in the cup and said calmly, "Of course, if you really let me do this job, I may not be able to accept it. I don't like a life with too many rules and regulations. I prefer to be busy at my own pace. But I really admire this profession."

Since he had a complete showdown with Rei Furuya, Tang Ze's state of speaking in front of him has been much more relaxed, a bit like the state in the base of the Phantom Thieves. Even because the other party has a more unique identity than the Phantom Thieves, Tang Ze sometimes says more than in the base.

For example, now, he is not stingy to share some of his heartfelt thoughts with the other party.

Law enforcement is first of all a violent agency, but for an ordinary peaceful society, the meaning of its existence is to maintain order and fairness.

Even if justice may not be thoroughly implemented and executed for various reasons, it is also a sword that will not be directed towards kindness and softness. It is precisely because of this concept that he chose the police academy with such good grades in his previous life. You have to know that with his grades at that time, he still had a chance to be in the top 2.

... He really didn't want to go to school in this life, and perhaps part of the reason was that he was injured in his previous life.

Who would want to go back to high school?

Although Tang Ze had never been a policeman for a few days and had never reported to work in his entire life, it would be a lie to say that he had no sense of pride and honor in his profession.

Tang Ze recalled those long-lost memories and described how he made his career choice at the time.

"Maybe it's because I don't have a very strong concept in my heart. I have a concept of justice, and I know what to do is right, but I lack the energy to regard it as a lifelong creed. My world is actually very narrow. I admire people who have such a fire in their hearts. If possible, I also want to be such a person. I find that you seem to have some misunderstandings about me, thinking that I am also such a guy. I think that I just try my best to imitate them because of my admiration."

Whether in the previous life or this life, the initial motivation that drives Tang Ze forward has always been hatred, and then the weight that is slowly imposed on him in the process.

No one is born with full enlightenment, because he has experienced the process of transformation, so he admires those young souls with this power from the bottom of his heart.

"As for that lady..."

Tangze was about to continue, but Leon's magnetic and soft voice suddenly rang out.

"I am you... you are me..."

"You have obtained a brand new covenant here"

...

Tangze stopped talking and turned his head to face Hattori Heiji, who was shocked.

He was about to speak, but Leon's words stuck what he was going to say in his throat.

[cooperation Hagiwara Kenji]

[Arcana: Justice rank1]

Tangze: "......?"

Wait a minute? Who? What? Where?

Why is it Hagiwara Kenji, what is this tortuous and bizarre route?
