Chapter 1038 Seeing Through, But Seeing Wrongly

Under the intentional isolation of the police and detectives, the bride was taken to the other side of the preparation room and carefully questioned about the details of the case half a year ago.

Such as whether the prisoner's voice or body shape is still remembered, any conditions will do.

In order to prevent the groom from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, they also specially arranged several female police officers to conduct questioning with Mao Lilan.

"If you really feel very painful, you don't have to force yourself to recall." Mao Lilan sat opposite her and said gently, "Don't worry, even if you don't remember anything, it's not your responsibility. Asking these questions is not only for your safety, but also to ensure the normal progress of the wedding... There are only a few important ceremonies in a lifetime, and we can't let them end miserably because of bad people, right?"

Even though Mao Lilan didn't realize the suspicion of Taira Masaki at first, she understood it after hearing the discussion of Conan, Karasawa and others.

It is very likely that the fiancé that Miss Yihu found is not only not the hero in her mind, but also a real villain.

It is obvious that Masuto Reiko is a gentle person with no strong opinions. If she falls into the hands of such a spouse, her future will be uncertain.

"But I described the case in detail to the police half a year ago." Masuto Reiko pulled at her veil and said anxiously, "I also want to catch the criminal, but..."

"No matter what the situation is, it is certain that the criminal has sneaked into the venue." Sato Miwako frowned, "The threat is imminent, and we need more information to ensure everyone's safety."

"I..." Reiko Masuto grabbed the gauze skirt on her legs and lowered her head.

Mao Lilan looked at her slightly nervous expression and immediately understood.

There are many suspicious points about Ping Zhenghui, which can be noticed by bystanders like them.

Even though the emotions of facing life-threatening situations and being rescued were too strong, covering up a lot of thoughts, it is hard to say that Masuto Reiko was completely unaware of this after so much time had passed. She was the one who had truly lived with Masahiro for so long and observed him for so long.

The person involved may not be unaware of her situation, but her subjective emotions and the fear of possibly breaking the illusion of happiness make her subconsciously unwilling to think in this direction.

Mao Lilan thought about it, reached out and held Masuto Reiko's hand.

Kiharakawa was not a good person, and his final ending was very ugly. After being arrested, he was naturally expelled from Teitan High School.

But he was not really a quack in psychology, and he had worked seriously for a short period of time. After following him and watching some of his works, Mao Lilan did learn some real knowledge.

While observing Reiko Masuto's condition, her expression became slightly serious.

"Ms. Masuto, I understand how you feel, but the human subconscious is actually very magical. You thought you had forgotten it, but maybe it just lacked an opportunity to be awakened. Let's put it this way, what we can be sure of at the moment is that the suspect is in Auditorium No. 3. We will accompany you to secretly observe the guests, and maybe you will remember something."

Perhaps Reiko Masuto, who seldom makes her own decisions, was targeted because of her personality.

This can be seen from the fact that although she was the advantaged party in the marriage and had a good family background, it was Ping Zhenghui who dominated the wedding decisions.

It is unrealistic to ask her to make a decision at this time. She should be given a plan directly.

"Is this okay?" Masuto Reiko widened her eyes slightly, "But the police also told us before that for safety reasons we should try to have as little contact with the guests as possible..."

"No problem." Yumi Miyamoto stood up and adjusted her wedding dress. "You can take off your veil and outer skirt first, so it will look more like a bridesmaid's dress."

"Well, and you don't need to enter the venue, you just need to find an angle to observe the guests. Yumi and I will be with you, and so will Xiaolan. Don't worry, we will protect you." Sato Miwako also promised.

It was a feasible plan that didn't sound complicated. Masuto Reiko was visibly relieved.

"Okay, thank you for your help..."

Tang Ze, who was standing at the outermost OB, looked at this scene, quickly curled the corners of his mouth, and then turned his gaze to the other side.

Compared to the bride who was treated gently, Ping Zhenghui's situation was much more miserable.

When the bride left the dressing room accompanied by Sato Miwako and others and went to the lounge outside to observe the scene, the faces of several policemen who had been asking questions casually suddenly darkened.

"Did you decide the guest list, Mr. Ping?" Although he was still using honorifics, Takagi Wataru was no longer looking down to record the content. Instead, he raised his head and stared at Ping Masaaki's face without wavering.

Ping Zhenghui's appearance is not bad. He was able to get close to and gain the favor of Masuto Reiko, so his appearance is still acceptable.

But when you observe him closely like this, you will feel that this guy's face is somewhat mean or gloomy.

How exactly are they like me...Takagi Wataru muttered indignantly in his heart.

"...Xiao Li and I discussed this together." Ping Zhenghui frowned because of his gaze, "After all, I don't know her relatives and friends there."

"Well. After your apartment was broken into, why didn't you notify the police immediately? Before you mentioned it just now, this kind of thing never happened when you were making threats." Shiratori Renzaburo crossed his arms and spoke in the same impolite tone.

He was clearly the one being threatened, yet he concealed the situation.

It could be explained by carelessness or not feeling that there was a connection, but if the situation was as the child next to the detective just pointed out, then Ping Zhenghui concealed the matter most likely in order to erase any connection between himself and the other party.

"Because nothing was lost in the first place. It's hard to say whether the house was broken into or not. Maybe Reiko just misplaced the things and forgot to turn off the computer..."

Ping Zhenghui instinctively began to refute, but was ruthlessly interrupted by the police.

"Is that how you convinced Ms. Masuto not to call the police?" Takagi Wataru said directly, "But now it has been basically confirmed that it was the criminal who did it, why don't you take the initiative to cooperate with the investigation?"

The good-cop and the bad-cop are common interrogation tactics used by the police. Generally speaking, Takagi Shigeru is not the one who plays the good-cop role.

He was mainly angry today.

Miwako Sato said that she didn't mind, but judging from the thoughtful expression on her face as she looked at Yumi Miyamoto's wedding dress, she actually did mind a little.

For no reason, he had to change into wedding clothes with another woman in front of Officer Sato...

It would be fine if he really was a victim, but it could very well be a criminal with malicious intent, which is really infuriating.

"You guys..." Ping Zhenghui frowned deeply, "Are you doubting me with this tone? Hey, are you kidding me..."

"That's not what I meant, Mr. Ping. We are just conducting a routine investigation."

"We are the victims who called the police. Your attitude..."

"If you have any complaints about our attitude, you can go to the Metropolitan Police Department to file a complaint after the case is over. I'll give you the phone number of the complaint department." Megure Jusan suppressed his high emotions with just one sentence. "Do you have any additional clues about the robbery case six months ago?"

"I……!"

After having enough of watching Ping Zhenghui being surrounded and interrogated by the police, Tang Ze stood up and walked towards the meeting place.

When passing by Conan, he even hooked the dazed child's foot.

"Let's go, Xiaolan is out, why are you standing here instead of going out to confirm Miss Masuto's information?"

There is currently no decisive evidence in this case, but it has actually always been in Ping Zhenghui's left hand. What is really lacking is just a logical train of thought to uncover the truth.

Take Conan out for a walk and you'll probably figure it out. It's easy and a piece of cake.

He should first think of a way to persuade Shiratori to go to the movies. Maybe that would trigger the plot and put an end to this ill-fated relationship.

Conan came back to his senses and looked at Taira Masaki again, then looked at Maori Kogoro who had a subtle expression, before he slowly followed Tang Ze's pace.

He had actually found a clue and confirmed that Ping Zhenghui was the criminal, but he was still lacking some individual evidence.

But he was still hesitating whether to give Maori Kogoro an injection now to make his thoughts clear, or wait until the police finished questioning and the criminal was basically under control before giving him an injection...

In short, he has to be given a shot in the face anyway. This kind of narrative and reasoning with too clear ideas is not suitable for him to do.

It would be nice to add some other arguments now.

After coming to his senses, he followed Tang Ze out the door, complaining in a low voice: "Why do you guys like to pull me with your heels so much..."

At this point, Conan was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at the back of Tang Ze's head.

I don’t know if it’s because he ran into Takagi Shigeru and Miyamoto Yumi today, who were dressed up and looked like the bride and groom, but Conan suddenly had some strange associations.

Although Karasawa and Goro Akechi look completely different, they are really similar in some ways.

Especially the moment just now, when Tang Ze stood up, interrupted everyone's thoughts and gave another answer.

Conan had seen the two of them standing together more than once.

Karasawa and Akechi Goro are about the same height, with similar body shapes and builds. There is no difference in their hair color. Their walking postures are a little different, but if they fix their hair a little and only look at the back, even a die-hard fan of Akechi probably wouldn't be able to recognize them...

"What's wrong?" Tang Ze, who clearly heard his complaint, turned his head and looked back with a normal expression.

Tang Ze certainly knew that his vest was not perfect.

He had some deep-rooted habits in his life, and Tang Ze was aware that their uniqueness might expose him.

But on the one hand, Tang Ze felt that it was a bit exaggerated to fake even basic living habits in order to deceive a friend. Secondly, the existence of Xingchuan Hui would prolong the outbreak of these problems for a long time.

At present, Conan has not realized the connection between his several aliases, mainly because he is missing the important information that "Kumair can change his appearance."

Vermouth is indeed a means, and can even cooperate with others to complete some performances and act as a stand-in. In theory, we should be vigilant, but Karasawa and Conan have too frequent contact and see each other every day, so it is really difficult for Conan to connect these clues.

In addition, he had actually seen several aliases performing on the same stage, so it was a bit difficult for the detective to unravel the mystery.

"...Are you sure you didn't come into contact with Akechi when you were a child? Why do I feel that..." Conan turned his eyes and some similar cases suddenly appeared in front of him.

The way Kiharagawa dresses up can make anyone who has seen Karasawa Ikawa stunned. In order to become the spiritual totem of the island, Shimabukuro Kimie continues to dress up as a witch...

"By the way, in the experiment you mentioned before, were all the subjects he participated in children of this age?"

Tang Ze, who didn't understand why Conan suddenly changed the topic here, was a little strange, but he still answered in detail: "Probably. According to the information left by my parents, this experiment is more likely to be realized on children."

Even though it didn't happen in the end, this is the situation.

As for where they found so many experimental subjects, some of them were cannon fodder like Teru Hoshikawa, whose lives no one cared about, and the other part were various child patients who were deceived under various names.

The organization controlled more than one company in the medical field. Even Xingchuan had been to some medical company buildings to undergo experiments...

"I see..." Conan nodded thoughtfully.

He didn't ask any more questions. He stood beside Mao Lilan and listened to Masuto Reiko's nervous chatter about the guests. Suddenly, he had some ideas in his mind.

He remembered a declaration made by Joker long ago.

"Joker exists because of Karasawa Akira."

Cognitive science is a discipline based on the study of human cognitive phenomena, and its end point is the power of making dreams come true.

The state and strength displayed by Tang Ze have actually reached this end to a certain extent.

Due to the influence of cognition, the closer a person is to another person in appearance, the closer he or she will be to the other person in cognition. This setting, which seems like the law of similarity, has already been reflected in Kiharakawa.

Could it be that there was something wrong with my previous understanding? The starting point of cognitive power is not joker at all.

On the contrary, Joker and Goro Akechi are both products that the organization "grafted" directly from the sample of Karasawa?

Perhaps the experiment on Goro Akechi was successful not because he was a special individual, but because he and Tang Ze were similar enough and had enough similarities.

Convergence, speaking of convergence…

Conan's eyes were still fixed on the guest outside the door, his eyes slightly narrowed, his thoughts had flown elsewhere.

"Akira..."

"Ah-"

"What's wrong, Shade? How can you sneeze even in the cognitive space? Is it because there are pollen in the underground sky as well? Are you allergic to pollen?"

"No, hiss, I just suddenly felt a little chilly... Ark, Leader is not doing anything new, right..."
