The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

"I'll take out a white handkerchief, a red string and a ring... Come, young lady, tie a knot in the middle. Then put the knot in the palm of your hand and put the ring next to it..."

Conan, who was sitting on the other side of Mao Lilan, watched the two people's movements from the corner of his eye and sighed in his heart.

Such a basic magic trick is not much different from the mind-reading technique of flipping a coin to guess the heads or tails.

He now somewhat believed Tang Ze's statement that Suzuki Sonoko was just appreciating her beauty. At this level, it was indeed a technique that could be discovered with just a quick search on the search engine...

Ran Mao Li, who was always very supportive, didn't pay any attention to this guy who liked to spoil the fun. She focused on watching her best friend demonstrate how to pass the knot through the ring without anyone noticing, and gave her best friend enthusiastic applause without hesitation.

"That's amazing, you did a great job. How did you do that? Did you learn it from the friends you were going to the party with?"

"A secret! After all, it's a gathering of magic fans, so there have to be some magic performances." Suzuki Sonoko raised her head proudly.

"This kind of thing should be left to Brother Tang Ze." Conan curled his lips, "It's definitely better than your little magic tricks that you just learned from TV."

"Eh? Can Tang Ze also perform magic?" Suzuki Sonoko ignored the kid who was trying to sabotage her and grabbed the back of the passenger seat. "I've never seen that before. Come on, come on!"

"I have indeed seen Karasawa playing poker." Mao Lilan thought, holding her chin in her hand. "Didn't my father participate in the death of the famous magician, Kujuku Motoyasu? At that time, Kujuku's disciples all praised Karasawa's clean techniques and said he could even perform super close-up magic..."

This time, not only Suzuki Sonoko, but everyone else looked over as well.

Tang Ze, who was talking to Amuro Toru, had to turn around and glanced at Conan who had drawn the focus. Under Suzuki Sonoko's eager gaze, he asked: "Let me make it clear first, although it is indeed close-up magic, I only know some very single types of magic. I can't guess the face of a playing card or change the handwriting..."

Amuro Toru, whose attention was diverted from the life and death of his peers by Tang Ze's words, looked at him with a disbelieving expression.

Really? I remember someone fighting with Kaito Kidd on a cruise ship. Not only did he play with it, but he also fooled Kidd, a first-rate thief with superb fraud skills...

Tang Ze smiled helplessly, stretched his hand back and simply spread out his five fingers.

The next moment, a pile of playing cards fell to the ground and he caught them by turning his hand.

"Wow! That's really amazing!"

"Really? I was so close, but I didn't see your hands moving at all..."

Suzuki Sonoko grabbed Tang Ze's arm in surprise and checked his cuffs. After confirming that there were no strange mechanisms such as rubber bands or buttons, she was even more surprised.

She doesn't know much about magic, but after all, she has joined a chat group of netizens and has been chatting on SNS for so long. Even though she knew nothing about it before, she can now somewhat distinguish the quality of magic.

Tang Ze didn't use any obvious mechanisms or hidden pockets, but relied entirely on his skills to achieve the changes. This wasn't even the level of a beginner, okay...

Conan looked at this guy who used magic to impersonate magic, and the corners of his mouth twitched for a while.

Now he fully understood the surprise of Sanada Kazuzo and others, and was speechless about this cheating guy. It was simply bullying to compete with a magician in this way...

Mao Lilan, who had already heard the certification from a professional magician, was fine. She was surprised for a moment and changed the topic to her best friend: "I didn't expect that you would like magic. You never went to watch this kind of performance with us before."

"I can't help it. A certain mystery geek is such a spoiler. I'm not as tolerant as you, so I can't help but beat him up." Suzuki Sonoko rolled her eyes, then said seriously, "Kaito Kid and Joker are becoming more active. I've seen their performances up close so many times, so I couldn't help but check out the related topics. Magic enthusiasts were arguing endlessly about their fantastic and wonderful techniques, and that's when I discovered that group."

"They talked to the point of wanting to meet offline? That's really rare." After calculating the time Suzuki Sonoko had been chatting online, Mao Li Ran couldn't help but be surprised.

Is it possible that in a group that only discusses hardcore hobbies through text, there would be a handsome guy who would attract Sonoko to come all the way for a date?

"I was just chatting casually, but I met a very interesting person." Suzuki Sonoko said, her expression shy, "His name is Doi Takeki, he is 21 years old, he speaks very interestingly, his words and sentences are very humorous, and sometimes he says very handsome and imposing remarks... How should I put it, although I have never met him, he has the temperament of a handsome guy at first glance!"

"I can still see this kind of temperament through the words..." Conan couldn't help twitching his mouth.

He used to think that Sonoko could occasionally see through the disguise and easily discover the handsome guys hiding their true faces, such as Joker and others in the past. This was already a very terrifying radar. Could this sensing ability be activated through the Internet cable...

Suzuki Sonoko pointed at the person in the passenger seat unconvincedly: "Of course, a handsome guy should have his own style. Look at Tang Ze, isn't he like that? He speaks humorously and interestingly, and sometimes he's very handsome..."

"Cough cough cough..." Tang Ze, who knew the truth behind it, was choked by her sudden move and started coughing.

Is this a coincidence or the power of magical intuition?

How should I put it? I feel like I should refute it, but I also shouldn’t refute it…

"Since you're going to meet a handsome guy, is it really okay to invite us to come along?" Mao Lilan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "We're not netizens in your group. It's a bit embarrassing to run over like this."

"It's okay. I told you in advance that I would bring my friends and girlfriend." Suzuki Sonoko crossed her arms and said confidently, "And I brought you here just to see handsome guys. If I go alone, it will seem like I'm trying to develop an online relationship. I'm not that kind of person."

When Conan heard this seemingly "turning over a new leaf" speech, he gave her a suspicious glance out of the corner of his eye.

Really? Why do I feel like you're a little worried that your appearance won't live up to your expectations when you meet your friends in person, so you brought Tang Ze and Xiao Lan along, just in case...

"Ah? Why is there something about a girlfriend here?" Mao Lilan turned her head vigilantly.

"Oh, that's because I've always claimed to be a man online, and a 30-year-old uncle, so I gave some confusing options..."

Suzuki Sonoko was about to start talking nonstop when the car that was driving smoothly on the road suddenly stepped on the accelerator slightly, hitting the back of the chair and Suzuki Sonoko immediately shut up.

"Sorry, sorry, I saw you guys encounter all kinds of things all day long, and I almost forgot that you are still sophomores in high school. I'm really sorry to be a 30-year-old uncle." Amuro, who had just been teased about his age by his classmates in the afternoon, revealed a hearty smile.

Tang Ze covered up his laughter with a cough, while Suzuki Sonoko's face showed genuine shock.

"Eh?! Mr. Amuro, you are already 30 years old?!" She couldn't help but raise her hands to cover her face, "This is more incredible than the fact that the 30-year-old male netizen is actually a rich and beautiful girl?!"

"There's no need for that beautiful girl..." Conan in the corner complained softly.

"I'm not 30 yet, but I'll be there in a few months." Amuro Toru shrugged as he held the steering wheel with one hand. "There are also uncles like me who don't look their age, right?"

He still had a smile on his face as he spoke, but Tang Ze noticed from the corner of his eye that he was gripping the steering wheel tightly, and knew that he was remembering some hellish joke from the afternoon.

It's a story about a person who died seven years ago, and when he woke up, he seemed to be the same age as Furuya Rei...

"That's perfect!" The surprised Suzuki Sonoko didn't notice the difference in attitude with Amuro Toru at all, and clapped her hands excitedly, "Then, Mr. Amuro, just say that you are the 'disciple of the magician', isn't that perfect! They won't be able to recognize that I'm actually a girl."

"I'm just here to be a caregiver. You didn't tell me in advance that there was such a need..." Toru Amuro glanced at Tang Ze and felt that the expression on this guy's face that was about to smile was very annoying.

Who made him abandon his job and drive to the mountains to attend a gathering of online friends?

"I never thought that Mr. Amuro would agree to such a request." Mao Lilan's focus was not here. "Well, Mr. Amuro seems to be very busy. I have met Mr. Akechi several times before, and I thought..."

She was too embarrassed to continue with the rest of the sentence, but everyone in the car understood it.

I thought that as Goro Akechi's boss, Toru Amuro would also be a bit flashy and would be attacked by sharp-tongued generals if he wasn't the client.

Amuro Toru glanced at Karasawa, who was also the culprit, and gritted his teeth before taking over the conversation: "You are exaggerating. Although I have more than one job, I also have my own personal life. It was originally a request from Detective Mori, and I couldn't refuse. Besides, Karasawa is not very convenient to travel far recently. As a temporary guardian, I should accompany him."

This job was originally supposed to be Kogoro Mouri's. After he dropped a few people off at the destination, he could go on a happy date with Eri Kisaki. But on the one hand, the address was a bit far away, and if there was a traffic jam, it might affect his evening schedule. Secondly, the mid-term meeting that Karasawa fabricated for him should really affect his travel.

As Toru Amuro still had many issues to discuss with Karasawa, he did not refuse Kogoro Mori's request.

Regardless of whether the group of thieves had secretly followed the car, he had now successfully taken Tang Ze away from those people, and he also had time to interrogate him and take a good look at what the so-called images that the three people were trying so hard to cover up were.

He originally didn't have a strong curiosity, but the faint look of wanting to die on Zhu Fu Jingguang's face and the other two guys' refusal to obey really made him curious. He wanted to see how shameful it could be...

"Uh, so, when you meet those netizens, you can tell them that Mr. Amuro is the 'Disciple of the Magician' and you are his, girlfriend?" Conan frowned and carefully thought about the logic. "Oops, it sounds like Mr. Amuro has been taken advantage of..."

"Hey, what do you mean, little brat? Do you think it's impossible for me to have a handsome boyfriend?" Suzuki Sonoko's eyes widened. "Humph, that's fine. You can say that Xiaolan is his girlfriend. I just followed her to watch the fun..."

"That won't work!" Conan's voice suddenly rose.

"Actually, even if the magician's disciple is a girl, it's not that she can't have a girlfriend..." Tang Ze made up for it in a good-natured way.

"This won't work either!" Conan's voice suddenly became louder.

"'The Magician's Apprentice', my god, there's no way I could come up with a screen name like that." The 29-year-old mature working man, Toru Amuro, sighed, "The name alone gives it away, Ms. Suzuki. This kind of chuuniburi-style name is obviously more suitable for a high school student, please."

"Uh..." Tang Ze, whose code name is indeed a bit childish, felt that he was attacked.

"Hmph, then let's do this. Mr. Amuro, you should first claim that you are the disciple of the magic user. If you are exposed, you can say it is Karasawa..." Suzuki Sonoko hammered her palm hard, "Anyway, I must surprise Doi Takeki this time!"

Conan's eyebrows jumped up. In order to prevent himself from saying something too rude, he had to turn his head away and pretend to be concerned about the trees passing by quickly on the side of the road.

If the magic trick doesn't surprise you, then try another approach, right?

As expected of Sonoko, her ideas are so unique...

----

"Hiss, there's actually a suspension bridge. How unexpected." Mao Lilan adjusted her clothes to prevent the cold and sharp wind from the valley from making her even colder. "How big a villa did they find to hold the party..."

To be honest, the netizens’ gathering did not go to Akihabara, but came to this kind of mountain resort deep in the mountains and forests. There is always a feeling that the motives are very impure...

"No wonder Mr. Maori refused to come." Amuro Toru, who was wearing thick clothes but still couldn't hide his outstanding figure, adjusted his scarf. "I remember that he has a serious fear of heights. It's impossible for him not to be afraid if he walks on a suspension bridge like this."

Noticing that he was constantly adjusting the details of his costume, Tang Ze took a step closer to him: "Didn't you say that you were not interested in this kind of weird role-playing? What are you doing?"

Toru Amuro has always had a good sense of fashion. Even when carrying out various undercover missions, unless his identity really has serious restrictions, he always dresses very elegantly.

But now, trying so hard to take care of your appearance is a bit too ostentatious.

"After all, I'm a 30-year-old man who's about to take his high school girlfriend to meet an online friend. I should at least fit the character's temperament, right?" After adjusting the scarf to a shape that didn't make it look bloated, Toru Amuro raised his eyebrows.

Whatever his purpose was, his words were true.

With the scarf tied up and the plain glasses he took out from somewhere, he now really has the temperament of a slicked-back, philandering, bad man.

"Hey, are Mr. Hagiwara's jokes so lethal? You seem to be concerned about it..."

"Shut up, and take your hands out. Don't think I didn't notice you typing in your pocket."

"Okay boss, I got it boss."
