Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 645: Mu Mu Thirteen: Everyone died?

On the other side, when Kudo Shinichi, who had confirmed that there was no problem with Ito from the other household, turned back, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, who had unhandcuffed, had been helped down to the attic and were sitting on the stairs covered with blankets, waiting for the police.

"It's really Lawyer Ito Misari..." Mao Lilan looked at the house with the door open and the prisoners lined up on the ground by Karasawa and Amuro Toru, and her mood couldn't help but feel depressed.

With nothing to do, he was arranging dishes for the gangsters. Oh no, he adjusted his position for them. Tang Ze, who was lying flat with his hands peacefully placed on his chest, looked towards her after hearing this.

Mao Lilan naturally has shortcomings. More than ten years of life have given her some setbacks, but they have not polished her. Her personality contains a lot of indecision caused by naivety. She is easily moved by the suffering in front of her and ignores deeper problems. The impact of the incident, etc...

Her image is increasingly framed in Yamato Nadeshiko's identity, becoming more and more like an ordinary person framed by discipline, like a little girl who doesn't use much brains and only needs to care about family and love.

And what Tangze wanted to do was always to let her open her eyes and consider the world with her own eyes.

Noticing Kudo Shinichi's expression, Karasawa put on a secret smile and turned back to arrange the dishes, trying his best to cover up the traces of violence left by himself and Toru Amuro.

Although the intention of acting bravely is good, we can't make it too difficult for the police, right?

"Xiaolan..." Kudo Shinichi, who was moving forward, paused, turned his head, and looked at Mao Lilan's expression worriedly.

"... She thought that Detective Kusukawa was trying to blackmail her after discovering her clues because of his personal bad habits. But the truth is that Kusukawa's mother was once deeply involved in a fraud crisis, and it was Misari Ito who spared no effort to help her and recover most of the losses. He I don’t believe that such an enthusiastic lawyer would actually manipulate the verdict, forge evidence to launder money for others, and found Lawyer Ito to persuade her to give up her illegal activities. He can pretend that he did not discover these things." At this point, he glanced at Karasawa After being carried to the bottom of the stairs, Nanchuan, who was also covered with a blanket and had a bruised nose and face, shook his head and said, "As a result, you also saw it."

"This is it."

His thoughts briefly synchronized with Kudo Shinichi's.

"Brother Kudo, Karasawa-san, you are all here." Xian raised his hand to say hello skillfully, and then Megure Thirteen lowered his head.

"The son of the top police officer in Osaka disappeared in Tokyo. You guys didn't even report it to the police and went ahead with it without giving you a lesson. It's because Officer Megure's temper has improved over the years."

After receiving a severe beating and facing a life-or-death crisis, he once again uttered a flag similar to "I have something to say to you if I leave alive this time." He had just had his wounds tended and was still racking his brains to think about how to deal with the past and the future. Ye's question.

"Well, Karasawa said before that the world is very big, and there are many dark sides that I have never imagined. It is really like this." Mao Lilan sighed, with disappointment and emotion mixed in his tone, "The famous Ms. Misari Ito actually got involved with illegal If the molecular connections are so close, then the entire legal profession..."

While several people were talking, the police, who sounded the siren, stopped in front of Ito's house from far away.

"Hey, it seems that Lawyer Ito's reputation is not completely misinformed." Mao Lilan paused while writing and sighed.

...I saw four human bodies that were arranged neatly by Karasawa in a wicked way, and even covered with blankets.

----

After watching all her unexpected actions, Kudo Shinichi's face was filled with astonishment.

"What? Is she related to that court trial?" Toru Amuro frowned before he had time to consider the power of the organization.

Kudo Shinichi quickly used his brain, trying to find words that could comfort Mao Lilan, but saw Mao Lilan raise his head again after a brief moment of depression.

"Well..." Tangze laughed twice, knowing that they relied entirely on the police's intelligence exhaustive method.

Should I say that he is worthy of Kudo's brother? Why is his intensity so high just the second day after returning?
After looking around the room in awe, Mumu Thirteen took out the manual and turned to a new page. He cautiously asked, "So, how many died?"

...Although, the efficiency of Karasawa and Toru Amuro was so unexpected that his subsequent plans were useless.

"You don't know?" Hattori Heiji was stunned when they interrupted him, "Then how did you find this place exactly..."

Coupled with her answer after opening the door, she was completely suspicious in Kudo's new eyes. However, taking into account Mao Lilan's mood, he chose a more roundabout method of handling it, not wanting Mao Lilan to see the scene of the lady he admired being arrested.

What exactly did you teach Mao Lilan? Damn it, should he isolate He Ye as much as possible and not let her have too much contact with Tang Ze, otherwise I am afraid that this scene will happen to him one day...

"No, I have to write this down and tell Yuanzi." Halfway through, thinking of her best friend's recent "career map," Mao Lilan was shocked and hammered her palm hard, "Her father gave her a big There must be a lot of sanctimonious people trying to get the money to set up a legal aid subsidy... I have to remind her more.”

What exactly did you teach Xiaolan? Why didn’t I know when it happened? !

At the beginning, they were looking for Kusukawa and found that he seemed to have been missing for a while. They learned this part through reasoning.

As a result, the person who first took the initiative to ask him about his situation was neither Karasawa, the person involved, nor Toru Amuro, who was acting as a detective, but Mao Lilan, who seemed to be the least likely to participate in such an incident...

The unnatural thing about Misari Ito was that he had doubts when they first came to visit her. When Mao Lilan said that she was a lawyer who didn't care much about professional income, his suspicions became even more intense.

Kudo Shinichi held his chin, and his mind was already thinking along the information he gave: "According to Okita-kun's testimony, there is a high possibility that Karasawa's case is completely fabricated. Therefore, even the trial itself was faked. ……"

Thinking of the key words mentioned in her words, he looked at Tang Ze with a question mark on his face.

Hattori Heiji, who also didn't expect Mao Lilan to ask this question, was also stunned.

"Ah? Is she related to my case?" Tang Ze opened his eyes wide when he heard this.

With a lawyer's income level, it is normal for his life to be so exquisite and luxurious.

"You are right, but my point is that Kusukawa was mainly shocked by the fact that Misari Ito was making illegal money. The evidence obtained was all around this case. However, when I was at his house, I found something in his drawer. More investigation materials were discovered." Hattori Heiji pursed his lips, and his uncontrollable anger spread, "What Misari Ito did was not just money laundering. She had more and more transactions with those people, and those transactions were more and more frequent. People's demands naturally escalated further, and her bottom line was lowered again and again, and she no longer minded doing more things. That's why Tangze's case appeared, such a ridiculous and unjust accusation..."

The person who got out of the car and led people in was a policeman they were all familiar with, Mu Mu Shisan.

The key point is that he found Misari Ito's home and was directly controlled by the gunman.

"A murderer can also go to church to repent after committing a crime. Her wanting to do good things is not inconsistent with her wanting to get rich." After rubbing the man whose face was swollen by Toru Amuro's punch, the swelling was reduced physically. Tang Ze stood up with satisfaction, "Mr. Kusukawa is both a gambler who is dragged down by gambling, and a detective who is nostalgic for his old love. There is no contradiction either way."

But because of this, if her professional income is not really low and she is just an ordinary public interest lawyer, there is no need for Fei Yingli to praise her specifically. Therefore, Misari Ito and other noble ladies behave like this, which makes people wonder where her money comes from. .

She was sad that one of the images she had always regarded as a role model suddenly collapsed, but thinking about the long conversation with Tang Ze two days ago, her mentality subtly changed a little.

In fact, the Queen of Law Yingli is also a lawyer who is often enthusiastic about public welfare and often provides legal aid. However, her brilliant career without failure has brought her more high-paying commissions, and her living standard is also not good. Low.

Reciting these words, she walked over to Karasawa, who was always well-equipped, and asked. After successfully getting a piece of paper and pen, she stood in front of Hattori Heiji seriously: "Hattori-kun, Kazuha, what's going on with Lawyer Ito?" , can you tell me?"

Mentioned Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji, it is impossible that they are not here for the search class.

"……what?"

After a moment of daze, facing Mao Lilan's serious eyes, Hattori Heiji touched the band-aid on the corner of his eyebrow and began to describe their experience today.

Kogoro Mori, who had been washing vegetables and cutting meat at home for several hours, commented this way.

"He just lost contact temporarily. There is no sign of distress. There is no point in calling the police directly." Kudo Shinichi, who was sitting in the living room and communicating with Hattori Heiji about the case, couldn't hold back and retorted loudly.

"Two gunmen, you rushed in to save people with your bare hands. You are lucky that no accidental harm was caused." Mouri Kogoro, who couldn't stand the young man's recklessness, snorted coldly, "If I was so impulsive when I was young, I should be so impulsive now. Suspended for investigation.”

"So, it's better to be a detective than a police officer." Thinking of Karasawa's previous question about his father, Hattori Heiji immediately said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he received several death stares.

"What, what's wrong? What I said is correct, right?" Hattori Heiji, who felt chills running down his spine, leaned back. Tangze, who put down the spatula and turned off the fire, cast an admiring gaze in his direction.

Not to mention the thoughts of Mouri Kogoro, Toyama and Ye, you are really brave to say this in front of Amuro Toru, and you are worthy of being a chariot, Hattori.

Stop fussing with naughty kids, stop fussing with naughty kids...

He hasn't beaten the naughty boy Tangze who deserves the most beating to death yet, so he is not qualified to take care of other naughty boys for the time being...

Toru Amuro, who had controlled his emotions, lowered his head again and looked through the materials left by Kusukawa on the table: "In short, as the crime escalated step by step, Ito Misari's business expanded to the part that actually touches the legal process."

"Yes. Not only did she forge evidence, but she was also suspected of paying off the prosecutors and manipulating the verdict..." Hattori Heiji, who had regained his attention, said seriously, "These are all intelligence collected by Kusukawa, but compared to the audio he recorded. The money laundering cases lacked supporting evidence, so they were treated as appendices."

If this were not the case, Hattori Heiji would not have found these materials when he found the Kusukawa family.

Misari Ito must have attached great importance to the part where Kusukawa had solid evidence.

Toru Amuro carefully memorized the contents of the case in the file, and then confirmed again: "What is your basis for thinking that she is related to Karasawa's case?"

"The basis is her appearance." Hattori Heiji said this, puffing up his chest proudly, "In order to follow up on the Karasawa case, I traveled to Kyoto alone no less than ten times..."

"...I skip class every time." Yuan Shan and Ye muttered softly.

Ignoring her complaints, he continued: "The only testimony I found related to the trial personnel of Tang Ze's case was the lawyer who came to handle Tang Ze's withdrawal from school at that time. According to the description of the teacher who handled the incident, this woman showed her tape There is a power of attorney stamped with the names of Karasawa’s parents, but no matter how I checked the name she left behind, I couldn’t find such a lawyer.”

Until today, when he stood in front of Misari Ito's door and saw the fat woman wearing a lawyer's medal who came out of the door.

All the accumulated memories were connected together, and without even thinking about it, Hattori Heiji concluded that this person was related to the guys who framed Karasawa.

"She may not be the one who directly handles your case, but if she can get the authorization from your parents, she must know something." Turning to Karasawa who was walking out of the kitchen with the dishes, Hattori Heiji said very seriously, "I will do it as soon as possible. I went back to my father to explain and asked him to come forward and ask the police here for interrogation in Tokyo. The situation is getting more and more optimistic. Karasawa, the case on you will be cleared soon, I promise! I didn’t let you down. Right, client?”

Karasawa put down the dish and suddenly felt speechless when he saw Hattori Heiji's serious and confident expression.

God knows, after confirming that his case was related to the organization, Tang Ze made plans to carry his charges for a whole year before overthrowing the organization.

When they first met, whether it was for Hattori Heiji or Kudo Shinichi, Karasawa's need to find a reason was far more important than trusting them to really do anything for him.

——And these two detectives, who are either dead or injured as soon as they appear, don't look like they are good at long-term investigation commissions, do they?
But obviously, as the friendship developed and everyone became familiar with each other, these guys became more and more concerned about the unfair situation that he did not take seriously.

It's amazing...

"...Okay, thank you very much." Tang Ze was silent for a moment, and rarely said that he chose a very solemn honorific.

"Hey, hey, it's already that time..." Karasawa said so seriously that Hattori Heiji felt a little embarrassed.

"No need to trouble you, Hattori-kun." Toru Amuro raised his head after reading the last word of the document, "I'll go discuss this issue with the police."

"Eh?" He knew that detectives usually have familiar police contacts, but he didn't expect Toru Amuro to take over the stall so confidently. Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment, "Boss Amuro, are you familiar with the police?"

"So, I'm relatively familiar with it." Toru Amuro, who is one level higher than the entire search class in terms of administrative priority, raised his eyebrows, "Your father is very famous, and he can do it if he comes to do it, but Osaka The police officers of the government frequently intervene in the Tokyo police force, which can easily cause dissatisfaction and misunderstanding. It’s up to me.”

As he spoke, he picked up the document on the table and smiled at the paper with black characters on a white background.

"After all, I am Tang Ze's current guardian. These things are my current obligations."

"Oh, oh..." Feeling a certain determination to win from his words, Hattori Heiji rubbed his neck without objection.

I always feel that something is burning in Toru Amuro's body for no apparent reason...

"Okay, put the things away, it's time to eat." Mouri Kogoro walked to the table with a plate in his hand and said unhappily, "I'll treat you to dinner. Don't talk about work at the table. Put away all the mess. .”

"Dad, it's hard for you to handle the vegetables and meat by yourself, but there's no need to be so angry, right?" Maori Lan, who came out carrying a heavy soup pot, said half to smooth things over, and half to explain for Maori Kogoro.

"Hey, I'm not allowed to smoke. I'm full of oil smoke. You bunch of dead kids." Mouri Kogoro, who had been the cook of an empty-nest family for an afternoon, sighed sadly, "The food for five or six people is not that good." Easy to do.”

According to Karasawa, the ideal number of people for stir-fry dishes is 3 to 4. Once this number increases, the requirement for rich dishes will double with each additional person.

Three people can eat two dishes and one soup, but for five people, you have to have four dishes and one soup. You can't make do by super doubling the portions of two dishes, as that will not look good on the table.

Tang Ze, a Chinese cook who has lived alone for many years, has pursuits in this regard.

Therefore, Mouri Kogoro, who was forced to walk independently for a while, had a miserable time handling the ingredients, and even had some desperate thoughts that he didn't have to eat.

"If this doesn't impress your mother, I'll really be at a loss, Xiaolan." Mouri Kogoro said after eating the beef he cut out piece by piece.

"I've made a lot of progress, Dad. Next time, you invite your mother out for dinner and have a candlelight dinner. Then you prepare the food and other things in advance. When the dishes are served, tell her that you cooked it yourself. She will definitely be very happy. Touched." Mao Lilan's eyes lit up and she looked at Maori Kogoro expectantly.

"It's an old couple, what about a candlelight dinner..." Mouri Kogoro muttered, and under his daughter's gaze, he could only reply awkwardly, "Okay, okay, I understand."

"That's right, you always have to face it." Mao Lilan smiled and took the initiative to take a chopstick dish for Mao Li Kogoro, "Mom cares about you very much."

After this period of observation, she was basically sure that, rather than having an emotional rift, Mouri Kogoro and Fei Yingli were talking more like a hasty conversation, and they were so angry that no one was willing to bow their heads, leading to a stalemate.

As long as there are two or three opportunities to break the ice, they will definitely get back together.

Two people in love are willing to bow their heads for each other, and any problem can be solved!
Candlelight dinner?

Kudo Shin paused for a moment, then dropped the dish he had just clamped back onto the plate. He glanced at Mao Lilan a few times and coughed lightly.

His time is limited, and it seems that he should not delay it any longer.

Yes, you always have to face it.

then……

"Tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the evening, the revolving restaurant in the Rice Flower Central Building?" Mao Lilan was surprised, "Just the two of us?"

Kudo Shinichi tugged on his bag and turned his face into the night that was not illuminated by the lights: "Anyway, since you know the way, don't be late."

"Wait a minute, Shinichi, hello..."

Seeing Kudo Shin quickly leaving a sentence and running out without looking back, Mao Lilan, who felt her face getting hot, retracted her hand and pressed her blushing cheek.

After listening to their conversation on the other side of the stairs, Karasawa walked around the stairwell and followed the shadow of the store to the door of the cafe.

Yes, the time will come eventually.
