Tang Ze: Detectives can only follow the culprit's footsteps to catch them, but I can rely on knowledge to foresee the future and prevent cases!
Conan: It seems I need to go to Hawaii for ...
These three can be considered the core skills that will constitute his combat power for a long time to come. Hacking technology gives him an advantage on the Internet, and his good marksmanship can make him more suppressive when confronting the black organization.
As for psychology, it is used more in daily crime solving.
In general, taking into account this lottery and the accumulation in the past period of time, Tang Ze's strength has also ushered in a small breakthrough.
Many of his skills have leaped over a small class, and some are close to perfection. I believe they will reach their peak in the next period of time, allowing him to further improve his strength.
When he closed the panel with satisfaction, Ayako came over after washing the dishes.
"Thank you for your hard work. Leave dinner to me." Pulling Ayako to sit next to him, Tang Ze smiled and said, "I don't have anything to do this afternoon. I'll be back a little early. What do you want to eat?"
"I was just about to tell you that."
Unexpectedly, Ayako waved her hand and said with a smile, "Have you heard of Ms. Hoshina Rukako?
She invited us to a dinner party tonight.
Although I wanted to refuse, our group has some cooperation with her family, and they strongly invited me to take you, so I couldn't refuse them.
"You must take me with you?" Tang Ze asked in surprise, "Why?"
"I guess it's because she receives this every year on her birthday."
Ayako pulled a piece of paper out of her pocket and said, "This was given to me by Mrs. Hoshina's secretary. She hoped I could pass it on to you."
"Let me see." Knowing that a case might be about to happen, Tang Ze also perked up and unfolded the paper handed to him by Ayako.
"I am the Guardian of Time. As punishment for defiling the flow of time, foolish woman, I will use my invisible sword to stop your time forever the moment you are born into this world. β Guardian of Time, see you."
"A threatening letter predicting a murder?" Tang Ze frowned and said, "This kind of thing should be reported to the police."
"Calling the police probably wouldn't be of much use." Ayako shook her head and said, "In fact, every time Mrs. Hoshina's birthday comes, her family will receive such anonymous letters.
Although she received threatening letters in the past two years, she was always safe and sound. When she reported the case, it was always dismissed as a prank and was forgotten over time.
Mrs. Bao Ke would tell the guests at the party about the threatening letter, so the number of guests at the birthday party gradually decreased every year."
"I see. So you invited me to the banquet in the hope that I could resolve this potential threat, right?" Tang Ze understood.
"That's it." Ayako nodded and then asked, "What do you think now?"
"I haven't received much information yet, but what I'm concerned about is 'Profanation of the Time Torrent'. Does this mean that Mrs. Bao Ke is very unpunctual?"
Tang Ze looked at Ayako and asked, "Based on this sentence, I feel that this may be the criminal's motive."
"On the contrary, Mrs. Hoshina is actually a very punctual person." Ayako shook her head after hearing what Tang Ze said.
"Really? That's a bit strange." Tang Ze frowned, then smiled and said, "Forget it, it would be more intuitive to go and see for yourself. What time does the dinner start?"
βIn fact, it can be done in the afternoon.β
Ayako replied, "Although the birthday party officially starts in the evening, you can go there early in the afternoon. It also gives everyone a chance to get to know each other."
"In that case, let's go straight there." Tang Ze said with a smile: "I don't have anything to do this afternoon anyway, so I won't go to the office and will go directly to the banquet."
"It seems that you really have some free time."
Ayako smiled and said, "Then let's rest for a while, then change clothes and go to the party?"
"Let's do it." Tang Ze made an "OK" gesture.
After the two discussed their next itinerary, they decided to take a half-hour nap.
It's summer now, and if you don't get enough sleep, it will affect your brain's thinking.
Half an hour passed in a flash, and soon after the alarm rang, Tang Ze turned it off.
After they washed and dressed up and changed into clothes for the party, they set off directly.
Ayako chose a simple black long skirt that was easy to move in, which was suggested by Tang Ze.
After all, no one knows what will happen at the party. If there is chaos, wearing a skirt that makes it difficult to walk would be tantamount to seeking death.
As for Tang Ze, he chose gray trousers and a vest. After all, the weather was hot and it was a bit stuffy to wear a coat.
Fortunately, it was raining when they were sleeping, so the temperature was still cool. Plus, the air conditioner in the house must have been turned on high, so this outfit was just right.
After walking all the way, the two arrived at the Baoshina family's manor at 2:30.
Walking towards the two of them was a woman in her fifties. Although her hair was a little gray, her skin had only a few wrinkles, which showed that she was well-maintained. Judging from her posture, she should be the hostess of the house and the protagonist of this banquet.
"Welcome both of you."
Hoshina Rukako welcomed the two and greeted Ayako first, then looked at Karasawa: "This must be Detective Karasawa, right? He's really quite a handsome man."
"Mrs. Bao Ke, you are too kind." Tang Ze said politely.
"I'd appreciate your help this time, Detective Karasawa," Hoshina Rukako said politely. "It would be even better if we could catch the guy who sent the letter."
"I'll see how things unfold." Tang Ze nodded and said, "Also, Madam Bao Ke should also pay attention to her own safety."
