The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Harui Fuchuen was once so close to us..."

"It's a good thing that the elderly are willing to learn about the Internet and listen to the ideas of young people at this age..."

"Hey……"

Several people who actually participated in the group discussion sat at the table and sighed. It was unclear whether they were more regretful about the Chunjing rumor or had some feelings about this series of twists and turns of grievances and hatreds. In short, although in the end, the case did not cause serious consequences, everyone's mood was still not high.

Hakuba Tanya sat at the table, paying attention to Tanaka Takahisa who was sitting alone on the other side in a daze, while quietly looking at Karasawa, Conan and Amuro Toru.

-By the way, he quietly tucked the half of his handcuffs into his sleeve, hidden under his coat, so it was not very obvious.

Doi Takeki has been confirmed as Kaito Kid, which means that the other strangers have been cleared of suspicion.

But at this moment, looking at the slightly regretful expression on Bai Ma Tan's face, it was known that he was not happy about this fact. Instead, he seemed to feel sorry for losing a great reason to test them.

Bai Ma Tan was obviously very interested in these uninvited guests.

Kaito Kidd flew away with the wind, and he could only continue to be a good detective who abided by the law, watching over the suspects and silently observing the situation on the scene.

Conan, who was sitting between Karasawa and Mao Li Ran, shrank back and avoided Hakuba Tan's sight.

He knew that his jumping up and down today, running to the third floor to stop a crime, and then climbing up to the attic and bumping into Kidd, was indeed a bit eye-catching. Fortunately, with Tang Ze in front to support him, his behavior would not attract too much attention from the White Horse Agent.

Although he was able to discover Tanaka Takahisa's plan in time today and successfully prevented the crime from happening, he did not take credit for it. Judging from the actions of Hakuba Tsuyoshi and others, and even Doi Takeki who is the Kaito Kid, he was not the only one who saw through Tanaka's intentions.

Even without his intervention, it should not be difficult for Tang Ze, a guy who has made great achievements in all aspects of bravery, to save a guy who has not been strangled to death.

Conan, who subconsciously made a half-joke from hell, regretted this somewhat immoral idea for two seconds, then temporarily withdrew his observation of Hakuba Tan and turned to look at Tang Ze's profile thoughtfully.

At this time, Tangze was smiling and joking with Suzuki Sonoko, as if he wanted to liven up the overly depressed atmosphere and not let this rare offline meeting end in a cold and sad tone.

This is what Tang Ze would do. Ever since he followed Suzuki Sonoko to this villa, Tang Ze's actions have not deviated from his usual habits. Even the white horse detective who was keeping a close eye on him could not find any clear evidence against him.

However, that scene kept echoing in Conan's mind.

Takeki Doi, who was chosen by Xiaolan to become the "Banquet Minister", secretly glanced at Karasawa, who proposed the drawing of lots and wrote down the task. Then, as if for the purpose of counterattack, he said that there was no problem with letting him perform the finale, but he hoped that his assistant would be replaced by Karasawa himself from Kuroda Naoko. The reason was that having a lady as an assistant for the magic he performed might cause misunderstanding.

Of course, not long after, Toru Amuro brought back the news that the suspension bridge was broken, and then Hakuba Tan arrived and told the shocking fact that Nishiyama Tsutomu, who failed to show up for the appointment, had been murdered. The originally planned performance and cocktail party were naturally ruined.

but……

Thinking of the red rope that pulled Kaito Kidd up from the ground, helped him leave easily, and then quickly disappeared without a trace, he couldn't help but recall the whole process of himself standing on the Twin Towers, watching Joker holding the little girl in his arms, pulling the rope to quickly descend, and disappearing in front of everyone.

Even without the help of the rope, he thought that the agile and versatile Kaito Kidd would not be easily caught by the White Horse Detective. But the rope undoubtedly gave Kaito Kidd a great help. After all, Kidd's common props are hang gliders, not bamboo dragonflies...

Then, if we think about the metaphors and symbols that the Phantom Thieves often use, is Joker also, in a sense, an assistant to Kidd's gorgeous escape trick?

Over here, Conan was immersed in a struggle of enlightenment and deep contemplation, over there, Suzuki Sonoko, who had been teased by Karasawa for a few words, had cheered up again and clapped her hands gently: "You are right. We know Mr. Harui Fuden's last wish, Ms. Tanaka taught those two guys a lesson, and in the end, we were able to witness Kaito Kid's escape from the snow at such a close distance. It was indeed an unforgettable gathering!"

When these words came out, not only bystanders like Amuro Toru looked at her sideways, but even Aramori Yoshinori, who was in the lowest mood, couldn't help but look at her blankly.

Although I have always known that this girl is somewhat insane and eccentric, it still surprises me that her thoughts are so unique.

"As expected, you are the disciple of the magician." Kuroda Naoko suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled, "This speaking style, really, no matter how you teach this gentleman, he can't learn it."

"Hey, I said that in the group. It would be so embarrassing if I was exposed as soon as we met." Suzuki Sonoko didn't deny it, but just made a face, "Don't be so unhappy. I have only been in the group for half a year, but you two have been good friends for many years. It's a rare opportunity to meet in real life, so don't be so unhappy. If a conflict breaks out, it won't be a problem if you resolve it."

Tang Ze, who was just thinking about how to enlighten her, shrugged helplessly.

He had forgotten that although it was hard to say whether this cheerful young lady had other strong abilities, her ability to regulate emotions was absolutely exceptional.

The fact that he has encountered so many cases, big and small, and yet can still get along with Ran Mouri, Conan, and Karasawa himself without any grudges, shows that he is a person with a very stable personality and strong energy.

"This is not a contradiction at all." Huang Yi smiled helplessly, and then sighed deeply, "Mr. Xishan is not just an ordinary netizen, but also the administrator of the group. He failed to abide by the principles and failed to manage the group. I also did not pay attention to these issues. These are all facts."

"Why don't we go back and fix these problems?" Suzuki Sonoko shook the juice in her glass. "Let alone online forums, even the law is bound to lag behind. Mr. Harui Fuden attaches so much importance to everyone and seriously considers everyone's ideas in his comeback. This shows that we are not without merit, right?"

"...This doesn't sound very much like 'The Magician's Apprentice'." Kuroda Naoko patted her shoulder teasingly, "Isn't this quite talkative?"

"Just kidding. It's been half a year. I must have learned something. As for Tiffany, didn't someone say before that if he keeps talking like that, sooner or later he'll be put in a sack on the street."

"That's true. It's a bit too much for Ms. Tanaka to be so angry that she wants to kill someone. If she just wants to take advantage of the opportunity of meeting him and beat him up, I will really help him."

"Hey, come on, you two, stop talking like that while someone is bedridden..."

The atmosphere at the table became better again. Tanaka Takahisa, who had been staring out the window in a daze, turned her head and looked at the people who were talking and laughing again, as if they were separated from her by a whole world. She lowered her head and turned her eyes away again.

She thought she could understand why her grandfather liked this discussion group so much...

----

When the snow stopped and the sky was getting light, there was finally no heavy snow to hinder the arrival of the group. After hearing from the police that his daughter was trapped, Kogoro Mouri arrived following Inspector Megure's helicopter.

The evidence was conclusive, with both witnesses and physical evidence present. Tanaka Takahisa had nothing to refute. After she surrendered herself calmly, this real case that originated from an online conflict was finally resolved successfully offline.

Apart from some frostbite, minor bone fractures, and a broken little finger, Hamano Toshi was not seriously injured. Instead, he was more frightened and a little mentally weak.

However, Nishiyama Mu was strangled by Tanaka Takahisa at close range and almost died. He had not regained consciousness until the police took Tanaka Takahisa away.

"...He will definitely not be able to escape the crime of assault. As for sentencing, if the two victims are willing to admit that the conflict started with a verbal argument, or are willing to issue a letter of apology, the sentence will not be too severe. Otherwise, it is estimated that there will be at least several years of actual imprisonment." Kogoro Mouri, who was driving a SUV with several people on board, concluded.

"Dad, how long have you been with Mom? Why are you talking so much about legal terms?" Mao Lilan squinted her eyes. "Why, did Mom always talk about work when she was out with you?"

"Uh, ahem, that's not the case..." Maori Kogoro was speechless, not expecting his daughter to feel this way, and turned away awkwardly, "It's just that, um, I've been going to her office quite often recently..."

"Well, the overlap rate of life trajectories is increasing, which is a good performance." Tang Ze, who was dozing off in the last row with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. "If you remarry one day, although I won't be the best man, I will bring gifts."

"You've made progress, Mr. Maori." Amuro Toru, who was sitting next to him, also laughed, "I heard before..."

"What are you guys talking about here, you guys who haven't even had a relationship yet!" Kogoro Mouri interrupted the teasing of several people in anger.

Toru Amuro's beloved car was parked on the side of the road far away from the suspension bridge, so it was not affected by the fire. However, after freezing in the snow all night, Toru Amuro himself was reluctant to drive it a long distance, so he chose to call a tow truck to take it back for maintenance, and followed Kogoro Mouri's car back to Beika Town.

"Oh, uncle, are you shy?" Suzuki Sonoko, who was sitting in the second row, chuckled, "It's okay. Although it is indeed the second wedding, it's with the same person anyway, so it's okay."

"If we get married this time, we can celebrate together as a family." Conan raised his eyebrows, "By the way, Uncle Maori, you and Aunt Kisaki Eri are so close now, don't tell me you want to have a second child..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

The more Kogoro Mouri's reaction was, the more curious the others became about his recent love life. While the car was driving smoothly, the three of them came over and continued to make fun of him.

Amuro Toru shrugged his shoulders and did not continue to tease middle-aged people who were in love again at this age. After confirming that the three people sitting in the front row were at a certain distance from him, he suddenly whispered to Tang Ze: "Okay, I've accompanied you in everything I should accompany you, and I've also covered for you to some extent. What about what I wanted to know in the first place?"

In order to prevent Tang Ze from finding new excuses to evade his questioning, he looked up and down with pretended suspicion: "I say, you can't be closer to them than I am in such a short time, right?"

Tang Ze, who was about to say something, choked.

For a moment, he didn't know how to understand what Amuro Toru said, but after carefully thinking about the meaning of his words, he found it a little funny for some reason.

Although his peers are now Tang Ze's teammates, and it is normal for them to be close to each other in theory, both those people and Tang Ze himself have spent more time with Furuya Rei.

When these two groups of people get together to form a small group, if you think about it carefully, they do seem to be somewhat ostracizing Jiang Gu Ling.

"Okay, okay, it's not a very important secret." Tang Ze raised his hand in surrender, took out his cell phone and pressed a few buttons.

With Noah around, these precious black history videos will certainly not be destroyed by several former police officers with a strong sense of shame. However, Tang Ze always keeps a backup copy on his mobile phone, for a sense of ritual and in case of emergency.

"Okay, I've sent it to you. Don't look at it now." Even though he knew that the three people couldn't see it, Tang Ze still looked around guiltily and couldn't help but lower his voice.

Amuro Toru, who was about to take out his cell phone to check emails, paused, looked at Tang Ze in confusion, then looked at the four people in front of him who were still making a fuss.

What? Did he guess wrong? This wasn’t some embarrassing video, but some important secret that couldn’t be made public?

Before he could look serious, Tang Ze said seriously, "It's nothing, actually. I'm just worried that you can't control your laughter and it's hard to explain to them."

"Huh? What? You're exaggerating..."

A few kilometers behind them, in the RV of the Phantom Thieves that was following Kogoro Mori's path from a distance, the members of the Phantom Thieves, who had spent a rare leisurely and quiet snowy night, were now energetically preparing for the new day's work, chatting and laughing.

Zhu Fu Jingguang stood in front of the coffee machine and was about to press the operation button on the LCD screen when he saw a simple pixel man displayed on the small screen in front of him the size of a fingernail.

It's Noah.

The low-definition pixel man simulated his own expression with a simple picture, blinked, and turned into an arrow pointing to the side.

Zhu Fujingguang looked down at the half-cup of coffee he had poured out, followed Noah's instructions suspiciously, and walked to the other two friends who had just woken up.

The next second, a round doll head popped up on the screen of Jinpei Matsuda's phone, where he was browsing the Phantom Thief Channel.

"You have been sold out by Tang Ze. I didn't stop you." The little rag doll with beady eyes sighed deeply, as if he really tried to stop him. "Be careful when you go back."

If I get caught by Toru Amuro again, I can’t even imagine how he’ll laugh at me…
