Chapter 1204: Return
Tangze had seen this level of brightness before.
On the brooch that Ai Haibara had passed on to him, which had now practically become Joker's standard accessory.
His parents had left behind quite a few contingencies. Even what Ai Haibara knew could not be considered the whole of it.
Without betraying anything, Tangze closed his Third Eye, accepted the box, opened it, and examined its contents again with his naked eyes.
It was a pair of haori cords—the ties used to fasten the front of a man's formal kimono jacket.
Inside the box was a haori cord made of a string of beads, with a metal pendant hanging beneath its center.
Without even touching it, Tangze could guess where it had come from. It might very well have been taken straight off his father's clothes eight years ago.
"It looks like my parents' style." Tangze took it out and gave it a gentle shake, watching the tiny triangle sway. "But it looks like an ordinary accessory. How did they use this to convince you?"
Enkai smiled and told Tangze a somewhat mystical story.
"So as long as its owner didn't personally take it off and give it away, no matter how many times it was taken, it would return to its original place as soon as it left their sight?"
Even Tangze's teammates, who already understood the Cognitive World very well, were dumbfounded after hearing his retelling.
They knew Tangze's family was absurd, but every time they discovered that they could be even more absurd, it was still shocking.
"Yes, that was the idea." Tangze looked at the open box before him, his feelings complicated.
He had seen something similar before. He now somewhat understood why his parents had so solemnly entrusted that brooch to Ai Haibara.
