Chapter 21 Tanigawa: You are right

"Did Tanigawa buy this armor in the end?"

“Shin-shin…Shinichi!”

"What's wrong?" Conan looked at the trembling doctor.

"This armor is moving!"

"What!?"

Conan turned around and saw that the man in armor had raised the blade in his hand.

Conan's mind went blank, and he could only remember the painting called "Heavenly Punishment" and the scene where Director Ochiai killed Boss Manaka.

"Oh!"

The sharp blade hit the ground next to Conan hard, creating a large amount of sparks.

Poor Dr. Agasa had been frightened and fainted. Conan was so scared that he sat down on the ground and quickly shot the armor with the anesthetic needle newly made by Dr. Agasa.

It’s just that the anesthetic needle was blocked by the armor and the armor didn’t react at all.

The sharp blade in his hand was raised again, Conan stood up and wanted to escape, but he was kicked against the wall by the armor, and the watch in his hand was thrown somewhere unknown.

Looking at the gleaming sharp blade, Conan closed his eyes in fear.

"what!"

The imagined pain did not come.

Conan slowly opened his eyes and saw that the man in armor had put aside the blade in his hand and took off his helmet, revealing a familiar face under the helmet.

"Tanigawa!?"

"Good evening." Tanigawa said, holding his helmet.

Turning on the lights in the room, Tanigawa considerately helped Conan up.

"You're going too far. How can you make such a joke!" Conan looked at Tanigawa with fear.

He really almost thought he was going to be killed.

"I went too far? Was it too far for you to pick my door lock and break into my collection hall?" Tanigawa glanced at Conan unhappily.

"Ahaha, the doctor seems to have fainted." Conan changed the subject and ran to Dr. Agasa to show his concern.

Tanigawa came to Dr. Agasa, squatted down and took his pulse.

"It's okay, I just fainted from shock."

"Tanigawa, I didn't expect you could take pulses." Conan asked curiously.

"I know a little bit of everything." Tanigawa said shamelessly.

Conan curled his lips, obviously not believing what Tanigawa said.

"Tanigawa, you have so many pistols here, they were not obtained through legal means." Conan suddenly said.

"Yes." Tanigawa admitted it straightforwardly.

"I'm not into pornography, gambling or drugs, these are my hobbies." Tanigawa picked up a pistol, played with it for a while and then put it aside casually.

Conan's mouth twitched. Your attitude doesn't seem like you cherish these things very much!

“This is illegal.”

"It is illegal to break into my collection without permission." Tanigawa raised his lips to smile.

"Kudou Shinichi."

Conan was not surprised to be called by his real name.

"You have guessed it."

"Do I need to explain my reasoning process?" Tanigawa said.

"No, I already know that," Conan said.

Tanigawa nodded and said, "Just use your imagination."

"So, what are you, a high school detective, doing here to see me?" Tanigawa asked.

"I just came to tell you that the reason I became smaller is because of a mysterious organization. If you tell others the secret of my shrinking, it may attract the attention of that organization, and then they will kill you to silence you." Conan said with a heavy face.

"Oh oh." Tanigawa nodded perfunctorily.

"Don't take it lightly!"

Seeing that Tanigawa didn't care, Conan became a little anxious.

"I'm not kidding you." "I understand." Tanigawa hugged Conan's shoulders with a smile on his face.

"Conan, have you ever taken a bath with your sister Xiaolan?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Conan pushed Tanigawa away with a red face.

We were clearly talking about something very serious, how come you suddenly brought the topic to something so inexplicable?

"Don't be shy." Tanigawa said with a smirk.

"No."

"there must be."

Damn, how did you deduce that?
"If I became a child, I would definitely do things like you that are inconvenient for adults to do." Tanigawa patted Conan's head.

"I didn't mean to do that. It was Xiaolan who..."

"You don't have to say anything, I understand." Tanigawa interrupted Conan.

Damn it, you don't understand anything!

"Tanigawa, that organization is really scary." Conan decided to bring the topic back.

"So, you want me to help you deal with that organization?" asked Tanigawa.

"That's right." Conan nodded.

"Your father is a high-ranking official in Japan. I want to use you to let the Japanese top brass know about this criminal organization that exists in Japan."

Then you've got the wrong person.

Tanigawa kept looking at Conan, making Conan feel shy.

"Tani Kawa is far from being a good official. Maybe he is in collusion with that mysterious organization."

"What?" Conan obviously didn't expect Tanigawa to say that about his father.

Conan didn't know anything about the high-level affairs of Japan. Since Tanigawa said that, his father was not a reliable person.

Damn, this just got even more complicated.

"This is my address. If you need help, you can come to me. As for asking me to help you contact the higher-ups, don't come to me. I can't help you."

Tanigawa handed a note to Conan.

"2-20, Beika-cho, Tokyo? Isn't this right next to my house?" Conan exclaimed in surprise.

I remember that there was no one living next door.

"That's right. I originally wanted to be your neighbor, but I didn't expect that you would live with your childhood sweetheart." Tanigawa teased.

"Don't you live with your father?" Conan asked.

"No."

Conan glanced at Tanigawa and began to think.

"You know what kind of person your father is, so you don't want to live with him?"

Tanigawa blinked and said nothing.

"Those illegal and disciplinary actions you committed before were actually a protest against your father, right?"

Tanigawa still didn't say anything.

"You are powerless to change your father's thoughts and behaviors, so you can only vent your dissatisfaction in your own way. As expected, your life is very painful."

Tanigawa neither shook his head nor nodded.

He was also thinking about whether he should accept the character that Conan had created for him.

"Your mental illness is also caused by your father." Conan continued his analysis.

He instantly understood why Tanigawa always behaved abnormally, and looked at Tanigawa with pity.

Because he couldn't bear to see his father's corruption, he went abroad in his early years and was unwilling to come back. Even after returning to Japan, he was unwilling to see his father.

It turns out that Tanigawa is actually an upright person.

"Hey, where is this?"

At this time, Dr. Agasa woke up.

He rubbed his eyes and saw Conan and Tanigawa standing together.

"I remember there was a movable armor just now?"
