Chapter 918 Hondou Eisuke

“…I don’t know him. Why do you ask me so suddenly?”

My heart was in my throat. Mizunashi Rena knew that this was the ultimate moment to test herself.

I couldn’t show any flaws in front of Kumer. I had to control every expression and every word…

The confusion and smile on her face were so natural and real.

“I seem to have heard of this name. Is he a friend of a detective outside? What’s wrong? Is this your new prey or something? Why are you asking me?”

“I don’t know him…” Tang Ze dragged out his tone, “It’s good that I don’t know him.”

After saying that, he seemed to have lost interest, casually loosened his hand on her makeup chair, stood up again, and returned to the gentle mask that belonged to Akechi Goro.

“But I think you can still get to know him, or at least pay attention to him.” Tang Ze shrugged, as if he was just talking casually, “A kind reminder from a colleague.”

Lest you suddenly see your brother and I acting like brothers on the street one day, and be scared to collapse on the spot

"Okay, if there's nothing else, you'll still be needed to finish the show outside. Come on, great host."

This is what it means to drive away a guest.

In his seemingly gentle teasing voice, Mizuno Rena stood up hesitantly and walked out with her back straightened.

Obviously, Tang Ze's vague words caused her a lot of psychological pressure. Mizuno Rena will be in a state of panic for a few days after leaving.

"What are you doing?" After Mizuno Rena completely walked out, Amuro Toru coughed twice, "If you scare her like this, she will be even more afraid to reveal her feelings to you."

"It's to make her alert enough." In the clear sight of Amuro Toru "You are playing tricks on me again", Tang Ze cleared his throat and sat down on the empty seat again, "I was not kidding just now."

As he said, he clicked on his mobile phone and showed a photo.

This is a very standard ID photo. The person in the middle of the photo is wearing glasses, looking forward, with a clear and frank smile.

After observing for a while, Amuro Toru easily came to a conclusion.

"They look about 50% similar, especially the eyes. Who is he to Mizunashi Rena?"

"Brother." Putting back the phone, Tang Ze pushed the makeup chair, moved closer to the makeup mirror, and readjusted the mask on his face, "Her only relative. I think it's hard for her not to value him, right?"

While speaking, he was still pulling the mask in front of the mirror, and the handsome young face was slightly deformed under his fingers, as if something lurking under the skin was growing with the words.

He looked like the final boss.

"... Then where did you get the photo from?" Amuro Toru, who felt that the role he was playing now had inexplicably become Vodka, looked at him sideways.

Tang Ze adjusted the mask, turned his head, and looked back innocently: "What does it have to do with me? It's not me who is provoking her. It's her brother who is so upset that he wants to provoke me, okay?"

Amuro Toru recalled the scene he just saw for a while, with a strange expression: "Is that the uniform he is wearing the Teitan school uniform?"

The uniform of Teitan High School is a typical Japanese high school uniform, with a blue jacket and a green tie. It doesn't seem to be ugly, but it is definitely not good-looking. In terms of high EQ, it is a qualified high school for further studies.

Because of this, the Teitan school uniform is not particularly recognizable. Without the brand name and school emblem, it is easy to wear the same clothes as others.

So until Tang Ze said this, Amuro Toru suddenly realized the source of this photo.

"Yes, this is the admission information of the new transfer student." Tang Ze shrugged and said casually, "It's not that I want to keep an eye on him. You know, no matter which side, they keep a close eye on our second-year B group."

Judy has left, but Akai Shuichi is still in Shibuya. The eyes of the Phantom Thieves are naturally focused on Teitan, and the public security and police will pay attention to Tang Ze's movements.

As for the organization, Kumel's most important task is still not the work given to him by the organization or Bourbon, but to play the role of Tang Ze Zhao, and he will pay extra attention to it.

A new transfer student will definitely be noticed by all forces at the first time.

Toru Amuro touched his chin thoughtfully: "So you mean, let Gil notice this information and be more careful?"

"I mean..." Karasawa stood up and said in a particularly villainous tone, "Let her be careful about her words and deeds, and don't fall in a strange place before she understands my intentions. I'm not interested in playing battle royale with Gin."

————

"Oh-this is the new detective who joined Akechi's office..."

Hearing the exaggerated sigh of Suzuki Sonoko beside him, Karasawa looked up from the screen of his mobile phone distractedly, turned his head and saw the picture on her mobile phone.

That was nothing else, it was a special program that was successfully broadcast in another way after being streamlined and checked by Rena Mizunashi, Karasawa, Toru Amuro and Nichimi TV.

In the picture, Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who was wearing sunglasses and headphones and sitting in a chair in a trance, had not changed into the JK school uniform and still maintained a neutral dress. Although her face showed the soft outline of a woman, her vigorous heroic spirit did make her full of youthfulness.

"Indeed, but this is a girl." Mao Lilan also took a few glances and said curiously, "Sonoko, what are you calling?"

"She's a girl, but she's very handsome, isn't she?" Suzuki Sonoko held up her cell phone and gestured with her face, "She is worthy of becoming Akechi's new colleague. Her temperament is really unique."

"I don't understand the cause and effect of your words..." Conan, who was following them, twitched his lips.

"After all, Akechi-kun's audience is here. If she is just a beautiful woman, it would be a bit too stereotyped. But intellectual and heroic girls can also have many female fans... Forget it, they really don't understand romance and beauty. Guy." Suzuki Sonoko shook her head.

Mao Lilan, who knew what the whole variety show was about, looked at Conan helplessly.

This is not a question of whether it is beautiful or not...

Without wise intervention and the rescue of the Phantom Thieves, according to Conan's judgment, Koshimizu Nanatsuki's determination for revenge far exceeds her sense of justice as a detective.

Only Tang Ze responded with two sentences: "I have also seen this show. Didn't someone say that there is a script or something, and the whole show is just a plan to launch a new screen idol detective..."

As they had predicted, once the show aired, public opinion moved in the other direction.

Originally, if this was not a variety show, the news that Junya Tokatsu was a detective but was suspected of causing many unjust cases due to lack of professional skills would have had a huge impact on the industry. The image of high school detectives would be more or less the same. It will be somewhat damaged.

Compared with adults, high school students as detectives have implicit labels such as "high IQ", "high-profile image", "excellent elite" and other elements. People who can claim this identity can easily gain public opinion and the public. of favor.

After all, there are so many adults with rich work experience in the market. If a student can make a name for himself, it means that he must be better, more outstanding, and smarter than adults in order to be qualified as a detective.

Tokijin Junya, who was holding him back, relied on the public's preconceptions.

What's unfair is that he doesn't add much luster to the image of a high school detective, but it is inevitable that his image will collapse and his innocent colleagues will be affected.

However, when this incident was completely recorded on camera, edited and rendered later, and packaged into a sophisticated TV show, everyone's attention was easily drawn to other popular detectives who appeared on the scene, as well as those who joined Amuro Agency. The gimmick of Koshizu Nanatsuki's debut in front of the camera was so attractive that the focus suddenly shifted.

"However, the case on Shikoku Island is indeed true." Suzuki Sonoko corrected, "Subsequent reports have also followed up. The local police have changed the direction of the investigation after receiving a report call from the program team..."

"Not just Shikoku Island, almost all cases related to Junya Tokizu have been re-investigated." Mao Lilan said seriously, "It's not a script. At least, the invitation Shinichi received is true and reliable. "

As she spoke, she blinked rapidly at Karasawa, trying to show that her words were true and credible.

"Oh, that means that this program is indeed true." Karasawa made a surprised expression, "That is to say, after Akechi learned the truth of the case from Miss Koshimizu, he contacted the TV station and other detectives to cooperate with him Is it true to reveal the essence of the case?”

"Uh..." Mao Lilan went through the logic in her heart and wanted to agree, but she couldn't help but got stuck.

Since the focus of the TV station's editing is no longer on the "detective showdown", but on the intense and exciting anti-counterfeiting scene, the image data has been re-edited and combined in another form, which is also far from the real situation.

The program team cleverly used their post-match acceptance speeches as background sounds, and edited them behind some reasoning and personal close-ups, making it seem as if everyone knew that there was something fishy about Junya Tokijin.

In order to increase the credibility of this kind of performance, Karasawa specially asked Koshizu Nanatsuki to shoot some stage shots. The general idea was that the two people found the program team, how to complete the preliminary investigation, how to plan, etc. It is not very detailed. , but it was also cut into the feature film as some supplements and narration.

This method successfully deflected a lot of attacks for every detective who participated in the show. No one would think that there was something wrong with Jin Runzai's behavior when they were "isolated", but it also blurred the real cause and effect from another angle, which would make the situation more complicated. Nanatsuki's true purpose was hidden.

"...Anyway, that's what it is." Conan, with his hands in his pockets, said dryly, "Anyway, Junza Tokatsu did cause a lot of things, and Miss Koshimizu did come here to correct his mistakes. ”

As for more things... then it's all self-explanatory...

"Conan's performance is also very good." Mao Lilan patted his head.

"Ah, yes, many comments say that you, a primary school student, are much better than Junya Tokatsu." Suzuki Sonoko also nodded.

"I don't think you're complimenting me." Conan showed his indifferent eyes.

As you say, who is not better than that guy?

"The other thing is, Koshimizu Nanatsuki is not a high school student. It's a pity." Suzuki Sonoko's focus shifted to the mobile phone screen again. She looked at the close-up on the screen and sighed, "It's not impossible to be a college student detective..."

"Akechi Goro is not a high school student either." Conan looked at her sideways.

"They are different in nature..." Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand disdainfully, too lazy to discuss the subtle aesthetic differences with the little kid.

Ran Maoli listened to their conversation, recalled the discussion on the Internet, and slowly said: "Well, but, not a high school detective, but appearing as a high school detective, seems to be considered the main direction of Mr. Amuro's agency now..."

"Huh? What kind of tongue twister, can this be used as a selling point?" Conan's eyelids jumped.

"It's really an interesting misunderstanding..."

As the few people talked, they walked to the traffic light intersection.

This is where the four people need to go their separate ways - Conan needs to turn a corner to Teitan Elementary School, and the three of them are going to Teitan High School.

Conan habitually waved his hand, tightened the schoolbag on his back, turned around and raised his feet, and was about to leave when he was pushed back by a strong force.

On the other side of the corner, a person who rushed very fast for some unknown reason collided with Conan head-on.

Although the person was not strong, Conan, who was not as tall as the other person, obviously could not be hit.

"Wow——"

"Ah——"

"Be careful, Conan——"

Seeing that the small Conan was about to be knocked to the side of the road, Mao Lilan immediately bent down to rescue him, and Tang Ze on the other side reflexively reached out to grab the person who rushed over inexplicably.

Soon, several people collided into a ball and fell on the corner of the street.

"Hiss, it hurts——" Conan, who still fell down even with Mao Lilan's cushioning, reflexively grabbed his glasses and stared at the uninvited guest who bumped into him.

Suzuki Sonoko, who was forced to bump into him, felt a palm stroking up along her shoes, and her eyes widened, and she slapped the other person's arm without thinking.

"Where are you touching?!"

"Sorry!" The boy who was groping around shouted louder than her, "I didn't mean to, where are my glasses..."

"I told you to stop touching!"

"I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to--ah--"

"Where did this reckless guy come from..." Mao Lilan also took a while to react, holding her dizzy head and sighed.

Tang Ze, who had stabilized Mao Lilan, lowered his head and looked down at the bewildered boy, looking at the iconic cat's eyes on his face, and smiled.

Isn't this coming, Mizunashi Rena, are you scared?
