Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 930: The Thief Civil War
"Hmm, so the so-called traveling under your own identity is just changing to a more conspicuous position?"

Sitting next to Tang Ze, Hoshikawa Teru sighed softly while Kogoro Mori and others had not yet taken their seats.

To be honest, the situation in Osaka was not much different from the last time, except that this time the seats on the train were moved from other hidden locations to among them.

Considering that something happened on the return train, this person didn't hide for long before being caught by Tang Ze and put on the account...

"The feeling of sitting quietly somewhere and sitting among everyone chatting openly is different." Tang Ze shook his finger to correct, "Although no one would refuse you if you want to stay in the Phantom Thieves for the rest of your life, it is still necessary to get in touch with people outside the group."

"It's not like I haven't had any contact..." Hoshikawa Teru sighed, and then he stopped talking when he noticed Maori Kogoro and others approaching.

"It's really convenient to do things for the Suzuki family." Maori Kogoro sat down on the seat opposite and stretched his body. "I never considered things like business rooms when I was on a business trip before."

"The conditions aren't that different." Conan adjusted his seat. "It doesn't seem to be that different."

"It's good not to be disturbed." Almost instinctively, Hoshikawa Teru's expression immediately changed, and he entered into the mode of Akechi Goro. "If there are too many people on public transportation, it can be a bit troublesome sometimes."

He said this was the very real truth.

With the organization's hype and Goro Akechi himself handling more and more eye-catching cases due to various work reasons, appearing in newspapers and news headlines. Once he travels as Goro Akechi, Hoshikawa Teru's troubled celebrity career begins.

If possible, he really wanted to stay in the base instead of standing on the street and being watched like a monkey.

"Mr. Akechi, don't you like this kind of life?" Mao Lilan looked at his smiling face curiously. "If you don't want to be watched and stared at, why do you accept so many variety shows?"

This was a question that came from the bottom of her heart.

If he reduces the frequency of appearing on TV shows, even if he is still a famous detective, he will not cause congestion and sensation like entertainers.

Just like Shinichi in the past, although he does receive letters from fans all over the country and even from overseas, some of which contain exaggerated and radical declarations of love, the impact on his daily life is still limited.

Xingchuan Hui looked at Tang Ze obscurely with a hint of death in his eyes.

How should I know? You should ask the leader. This is not something I would do...

Although he was muttering to himself, the smile on Xingchuan Hui's face showed no sign of collapse. He just followed the design that had been decided long ago and replied calmly: "I really don't like it that much, but it feels good to be able to help. Besides, since I can do this, I definitely want to do my best."

This sentence is an excuse for both Goro Akechi's false identity and his inner attributes as a member of the organization.

For the organization, Kumail, who had lived in the dark for more than ten years, would of course want everyone's admiration and attention once he saw the light of day. It was very natural and in line with the development of his insane nature that he became a household name at the fastest speed, almost out of revenge.

As for the super-powered killers, personal fame is like the Phantom Thieves who need to rely on becoming famous in society and gradually enter deeper into the subway. Only by becoming the most famous detective can Kumail's abilities be demonstrated to the greatest extent.

By joining the Phantom Thieves with this identity, this help will naturally radiate to the entire scope of the Phantom Thieves. This is also the reason why Hoshikawa Teru has always been resistant to, but has never rejected, this role-playing mode.

"Is it about being able to do it, rather than wanting to do it..." Mao Lilan nodded thoughtfully.

"If you don't do your best, you will be ruthlessly left behind by this world." Hoshikawa Teru smiled skillfully with his eyes curved, "Just like your... detective, Kudo-san. He disappeared for a little while longer, and not only the media, but even his classmates began to regard him as a legend of the past."

This was not a line of speech that Tang Ze specifically asked him to memorize, but as the time of acting increased, Xingchuan Teru was gradually able to put himself into this fake role and try to speak from the other person's perspective.

In Karasawa's words, this version of Goro Akechi is, after all, an incorporation of some of Hoshikawa Teru's own characteristics. As long as one overcomes the awkward acting barrier and tries to guess how Goro Akechi would speak and talk in a similar context, some things will come out naturally without the need for careful design and thinking.

For example, as an up-and-coming invader who used the influence of public opinion and the media to gradually fade away Kudo Shinichi's name, what would Akechi Goro think of Kudo Shinichi in this position? The answer is obvious.

"Hey..." Conan, who had just adjusted his seat, twitched his mouth.

What kind of adjective is this? It makes it sound like the other person is about to die.

And he was only missing temporarily, so why did this guy talk about the loser so nonchalantly...

"Well, that makes sense..." Mao Lilan seemed to be convinced by him and nodded slowly. "Now that I think about it, you are really working hard as a detective. It must be very difficult to properly handle every commission under so many eyes."

Xingchuan Hui tilted his head: "If you don't give it your all, you will definitely feel regret and remorse once you are left behind. In comparison, working harder is not a big problem."

"No wonder dad said that you are the high school detective who thinks the most clearly and has the most successful career." Mao Lilan laughed.

"I never said such a thing." Maori Kogoro, who had just picked up the newspaper, immediately denied it. "I just think this is the healthy model of private detectives. It's also good to be a public welfare detective without asking for anything in return, but it's too frivolous. And wisely, it's too cunning for you to just think of yourself as a detective now."

"dad……"

Xingchuan Hui kept his elbows on the armrest and watched them talk with a smile.

Although he was still in a very energy-consuming acting mode, his tense nerves gradually relaxed.

These people are the good people that Tang Ze believes are trustworthy, and Tang Ze has been their neighbors and classmates for a long time.

Even if he wasn't surrounded by his fellow Phantom Thieves, it seemed like there really was nothing to worry about.

His smile only lasted until the JR train arrived at the station. "Here, here, Ran, Akechi-kun!"

Hearing Suzuki Sonoko's suddenly raised tone, Hoshikawa Teru secretly thought that something was wrong, but before he could dodge, she grabbed his arm and came closer.

"Don't be like this, Miss Sonoko." Hoshikawa Teru first instinctively looked around and confirmed that there were no dark-skinned men, then he breathed a sigh of relief, "It would be bad if your boyfriend misunderstood."

"Boyfriend or something, no such thing..." Suzuki Sonoko coughed, and finally pulled back a little, letting go of his elbow modestly, "If you're talking about Zhen, don't worry, I'm not hiding anything from him, he won't mind."

It’s none of my business whether he minds or wants to let it go. What I’m afraid of is that he will be the one who can’t let it go, and that will make me let it go.

Hoshikawa Teru, who witnessed with his own eyes how Kyogoku Makoto pierced through an armed helicopter with a steel bar, said it was better to forget it.

Maori Kogoro, who had been watching them coldly for a while, saw him get away and then walked over slowly: "What's next, shall we go to the art museum first?"

"Of course. The police here have assisted our security in taking protective measures, but we still need to let the detectives take a look." Suzuki Sonoko smiled brightly, "The car is outside, let's go!"

Suzuki Sonoko is a passionate person, somewhat sociable and carefree, but anyone can see that she is more enthusiastic today than ever before. It seems that successfully taking over the exhibition layout of an art museum is also a very happy thing for her.

"...The specifications are so high." Looking at the stretched sedan and the dazzling car logo in front of him, Kogoro Mouri's mouth twitched.

After spending a long time with Suzuki Sonoko, sometimes I really forget that she is the descendant of a wealthy tycoon whose family is rich enough to rival a country.

"Of course. This is an important moment to meet Mr. Kidd, and there will also be an epic meeting between Akechi-kun and Kidd, so it has to be grand!" Suzuki Sonoko said, clasping her hands together and imagining, "If, in the exhibition hall that I helped to set up, a competition between a detective and a phantom thief could take place, this scene would be so..."

"Sonoko..." Before Ran Maori could drool from her fantasy, she reached out and pulled her
"Well, anyway, in addition to all the security measures, I also hired some photographers." Suzuki Sonoko pressed the corners of her mouth to cover up, "I'm sure we can take some epic and wonderful pictures, right, Mr. Nishino?"

"Miss, the camera equipment in the exhibition hall is ready. However, since it's Kaito Kidd, they may not be of much use." The man who had been driving silently in front heard her call and responded immediately.

"It doesn't matter if they are useless. As long as they can capture the moment of destruction, their mission will be accomplished." Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand, "As long as we can capture the scene of the dream of Mr. Kidd appearing, everything will be fine! Anyway, I don't want to catch him."

The Kidd of my dreams...

The corners of Kogoro Maori's mouth had been twitching since she opened her mouth.

If Officer Nakamori heard this, he would be so angry that he would die...

"Oh, by the way, this is Mr. Masato Nishino, my father's secretary. This time I am in charge of the exhibition, so my father sent him to help me." Suzuki Sonoko pointed to the tall figure in front of her. "He has been traveling all over the world, so he is proficient in many languages. He speaks English, French and German at a professional level. I will have to trouble him for the reception this time."

"Please advise me." Nishino Masato tilted his head. "Because this involves the 51st Easter Egg that unexpectedly appeared in the world, many scholars from all over the world who are studying related content have come here specially. I am just helping a little in this regard."

"That's amazing..." Mao Lilan was stunned after hearing what she heard, and finally felt that her best friend was serious about her career this time.

As they were talking, the vehicle drove smoothly across the river of Osaka Castle, passed by the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, and finally, slowly stopped in front of the unique and eye-catching art museum.

"Did you supervise the construction of this place?" After opening the car door and getting out, Maori Kogoro looked up at the building in front of him and suddenly felt a strong sense of unreality, "It's really exaggerated..."

He had always felt that Suzuki Sonoko's claim to be a collector was simply because she fell in love with Kitagawa Yusuke because of his appearance, and she accidentally met a top-notch horse, so she got what she wanted unintentionally. But when he saw the impressive building complex in front of him, he began to feel that even if it was just some marginal industry of the Suzuki family in the art field, Suzuki Sonoko had indeed embarked on her own path.

"Ah, not exactly." Looking at the unique building in front of her, Suzuki Sonoko shrugged. "The construction is handled by special designers and reviewers. I just looked at the renderings a few times and asked Kitagawa-kun to give some advice on the exhibition..."

"…So Kitagawa brother is also involved in this exhibition?" Conan, who knew Kitagawa Yusuke's true identity, thought of his last obsessive-compulsive art exhibition and the exaggerated anti-theft measures for the exhibits, and his eyebrows jumped.

How should I put it? Let this person participate in the design exhibition, and finally use it to fight against Kaito Kidd...

Their boss Joker has a good relationship with Kidd, right? Are they aware of this operation of one's own people fighting one's own people? Or is it because they are in the same industry that they are more likely to do something shady?

So on the surface, this wave is about the famous detectives VS Kaito Kidd, but in fact, it is the Phantom Thief of Hearts VS Kaito Kidd, a civil war among the Phantom Thieves?

Conan, who had no idea that he had revealed the truth in every sense, thought that this title was really weird.

Hoshikawa Teru and Tang Ze, who were also enjoying the scene nearby, raised their hands at the same time and pressed their itchy noses.

"The security is so tight, it feels like even an ant can't fly in?" Kogoro Mori looked around the security guards in the entire art museum with a critical eye and said from the bottom of his heart.

"Of course. The opponent is Kaito Kidd." Suzuki Sonoko puffed out her chest, "He is..."

"...A mysterious and elusive gentleman thief who can change his appearance at will. No matter how strict the security is or how solid the vault is, he can crack it miraculously. It is said that he is a master of disguise who can even imitate and change his appearance and voice at will..."

A familiar voice came from behind and several people turned their heads.

Hattori Heiji took off his motorcycle helmet, looked at the group of people standing there, and made a somewhat provocative expression.

"This is really a difficult problem, right, fellow detectives?"
