The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

"Hmm?" Hagiwara Kenji, who was looking ahead, heard the hesitant call from behind. He turned around and looked at Mao Lilan who looked embarrassed. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"No, it's nothing. It's just, uh, the line is so long, isn't it a bit…"

Mao Lilan handed over the drink in her hand and looked at the long queue in front of her that seemed to have no end, feeling a little embarrassed.

Well, although Conan explained that the man who suddenly showed up to help defuse the bomb was probably a member of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, so the children could be safely left in his care, this kind of care still seemed a bit...

"Don't worry, it's just a queue." Hagiwara Kenji took the bottle of mineral water and shrugged nonchalantly, "The danger has basically been exposed anyway, and my mission is to make sure you get through the day safely. I'll help you queue up."

As he spoke, he looked at the amusement park behind Mao Lilan and pursed his lips.

"...Besides, I'm already this old, I'm not really interested in theme parks. Just have fun."

Compared to Jinpei Matsuda, who stayed in the world for several years after his death, Kenji Hagiwara certainly had no resistance to amusement parks - this was due to his age and personality. Although he was not a playboy and was very popular with girls, it was common for him to attend social gatherings and accompany girls to the amusement park to play some games.

But since he opened his eyes again, he learned about the method of Matsuda Jinpei's death through information and other people's descriptions, and even learned about the cause and effect of Matsuda's death indirectly through the hall of Furuya Rei.

In addition, the bomber Motobashi Yoji himself has an extremely malicious character. For a short period of time, he is really not interested in the so-called amusement park project.

It's not impossible to force him to go play, but since it's just a relaxing task of babysitting, it's better not to make yourself unhappy.

"Is that so?" Mao Lilan hesitated for a moment, and seeing that he really had no intention of forcing her, she nodded, "If you feel tired, you can always call me or Huibara, and we will bring the children over to replace you. It may take two or three hours to wait, and it is really a great trouble for you..."

"No, no." Hagiwara Kenji smiled and waved his hand, "Go and have fun. Have fun. That will be my honor to Mr. Detective."

His mission actually only ended when they solved the bomb in their hands, but on the one hand, Conan didn't want to let go of the mystery surrounding the client, but on the other hand, he was worried because Ran Mouri was right under the client's nose, so he asked him for an extra task.

What Conan actually meant was that he hoped the people from the Phantom Thieves could spare some energy to look after it, but Kenji Hagiwara knew that the Phantom Thieves were not idle today.

Just like Matsuda himself, he was driving with other teammates, searching along the streets of Yokohama under Noah's command, trying to find other bombs buried by Ito Suehiko.

In addition to this batch of park ID cards, Ito Suehiko also set up a number of bombs at places that the detectives might encounter along the way.

Although he is blind, with the help of computers, he can monitor and understand the progress and situation of the detectives, confirm whether the detectives have called the police, and use the threat of bombs to keep them quiet.

Of course, after all the threats made by the detectives, he may not have the energy and spirit to do so now, but the dangers that need to be solved still need to be prevented.

After all, he is a psychopath. What if the stimulation is too much and he gets so upset that he explodes in front of the whole world?

How to put it, according to Tang Ze, even if they are both mentally ill, the rich mentally ill ones are indeed more lethal.

Based on the above considerations, Kenji Hagiwara, who had no other plans except solving the problems here, naturally volunteered to stay and take care of these children who didn't seem to need his care.

"Thank you." Seeing that he really had no grudges, Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief. Then, after thinking about it, she asked this question, which might be a bit inappropriate at this time. "What should I call you? Oh, of course, if it's inconvenient..."

"... Hagiwara, just call me Hagiwara." Hagiwara Kenji paused, "Code name or something, um, I can't tell you now."

Because he hasn't yet.

Tang Ze expressed his understanding of the fact that he has not awakened yet, and did not put any pressure on him.

Maybe because he died too early, he did not have the same bitter and vengeful experiences as Matsuda and others who came later.

From Kenji Hagiwara's perspective, he was just a graduate of the police academy and joined the police station step by step. Not long after becoming a policeman, he encountered that case. Soon after, he sacrificed his life in the case to fulfill his mission of protecting the citizens.

Kenji Hagiwara knew what Karasawa was thinking.

Just like death itself, the dead can no longer feel pain, and the pain is left to those who remain.

Whether it was Jinpei Matsuda who witnessed his death, or Kagemitsu Morobushi who collapsed after years of suffering, they all died with fire in their hearts, and they were all people who were left behind and experienced a lot.

And what about Hagiwara himself?

He himself couldn't explain when he would get angry or why he would be angry.

Even though, under the guidance of Karasawa, he visited the hall of the heinous murderer who killed him, and even though he learned the causes and consequences of the case, including how the five of them left one by one until only Furuya Rei was left, Kenji Hagiwara was certainly touched, and of course he was indignant and aggrieved, but he never reached the critical point of awakening.

So, of course, he still doesn't have a code name, and the nickname he uses in the group is his own name.

Watching the uneasy Ran Mouri leave, Kenji Hagiwara lowered his head and looked at the software interface on his mobile phone.

However, even though he was queuing here, he didn't feel bored.

【Trigger: I say, this guy is really a little bit crazy, right? He put a bomb in the doll at the roadside fast food restaurant?!】

[Karma: In other words, his goal has always been the children.]

【Shade: That’s true. The main customers of Fantasyland are also children and parents who bring their children to play. 】

【Shade: Rising Sun.jpg】

[illusion: Pfft——Don’t post this photo as an emoji! It really ruins the atmosphere!]

【Shade: Uh, but it's useful, isn't it? I think it makes my point clearer than just being a jerk. 】

【Ark: Rising Sun.jpg】

【illusion: You are not allowed to save Noah. Children are not allowed to swear.】

[Ark:TUT]

【Trigger: Dismantling completed.】

【Trigger: Let’s just say he’s a psychopath, but where did he find someone to help him install these things?! Ito Suehiko is blind, right? And he doesn’t go out, so these things were installed for him by others.】

【Lunar: Isn't this normal? Look at the price he offered when he hired the detective. As long as he pays enough, he might be able to find Gin to help him blow it up.】

Seeing this, Kenji Hagiwara pursed his lips and couldn't help but join in the conversation.

【HAGI: Really? Eh? Is this okay? 】

[HAGI: Our group is pretty rich now, right? Can we ask Gin to help blow him up? ]

After he sent these two sentences, the group fell into silence for a few seconds.

Although it is outrageous, I have to say that it is indeed a unique idea that no one has ever thought of.

The silence was broken by the other onlookers who had been watching for a long time and could no longer bear it.

【KID: Hey, can you guys avoid me when you're talking about this kind of thing? Do you have to talk about it here? Huh?】

[Shade: Please bear with it for a while, we have non-staff members who are also involved. ]

【KID: You sound like you guys would avoid talking to me about other things.】

【KID: Also, even if the people from that organization are extremely evil and unforgivable, they don't deserve to be blamed for killing a psychopath, right?】

[KID: I can only say this to a guy who is disabled himself but chooses to target weaker children]

【KID: Rising East Dawn.jpg】

Following Kidd's comment, this picture started to flood the group.

Kenji Hagiwara pressed down the corners of his mouth to suppress the smile that was about to be suppressed, and very honestly pressed down the screen for a long time with his finger to save the very festive Chinese characters with black text on a red background that had filled the entire screen.

That’s right, what they used as emoticons were the ones cut out from the photo of the unfortunate Scobin accepting the pair of Spring Festival couplets under Tang Ze’s “oppression”.

He lost his identity, his past resume, and even though he knew where his family was, he could not contact them. He had to completely cut off ties with the past. Even with the company of a few friends, Kenji Hagiwara was not able to adapt to this kind of life at first.

Fortunately...

"Although I don't know if this can be considered walking on the path of the past. Maybe if my past self saw my present self, I would definitely choose to arrest myself without hesitation... But this seems quite interesting."

So, sister, let’s save our reunion for later.

“Qiansu, Qiansu…?”

"Huh?!" Hagiwara Chisuku heard the repeated calls of his colleagues beside him, and finally came to his senses and looked at the person who called him.

"What are you daydreaming about? You just want to call Officer Yokomizo? What's wrong? Sorry." The colleague pushed her shoulder teasingly, "Hurry up and go over there."

For a police station with an unbalanced gender ratio, especially a traffic police team where the proportion of female police officers is much higher, there is always a lot of gossip and speculation.

"What nonsense are you talking about. I'm not... forget it." Hagiwara Chisu waved his hand unhappily, but just lowered his head and touched his cell phone.

She just happened to see a few names when she was looking through her address book and wanted to contact the criminal police team.

And some ringtones that will never ring again.

Putting these sentimental thoughts aside, Hagiwara Chisu still made the call.

"Hello? Hello? I'm Hagiwara from the traffic police... It's like this, we met a detective who called himself Maori Kogoro on the highway, and he said he had something to contact the criminal police team... Yes, it's..."

----

"Wouldn't that count as calling the police?"

Driving an SUV on the highway, Kogoro Mori looked straight ahead and appeared calm, but his hands were unconsciously tapping the steering wheel repeatedly.

Even though Conan wrote to tell him that Xiaolan was safe and he didn't need to worry, Kogoro Mouri felt uneasy at the thought that his daughter was still under the nose of that pervert.

The threat of being harmed has indeed been reduced, but I am still worried.

"He's a wealthy lunatic. If he gets desperate, he'll do something desperate..."

"It'll be fine." As if to deny his statement, or to convince himself, Conan spoke quickly, "I asked a friend to help take care of her. Also, I checked and found that the Fantasy Park and the Red Roof Hotel next to it are both owned by Sonoko's family. So I called Sonoko's sister and told her that it would be boring for Xiaolan to stay in the Fantasy Park alone, and asked her to go and accompany her..."

"If there really is a bomb, for example, if he installed it in the amusement park, if you ask Yuanzi to go over, it would only be an extra one, right?"

Kogoro Maori's eyebrows twitched violently.

"...He shouldn't be that cruel, right?" Conan twitched his lips twice. "Besides, if there was something wrong with what we did, he would have called us by now. Although, I heard that you are not the only detective he has hired, he should choose to closely monitor every person involved..."

At this point, Conan briefly explained the matter of Hagiwara.

Of course, he would not be introduced as a member of the Phantom Thieves Group, nor would he explain the bomb disposal matter. He just described the incident as someone who felt that the matter was not very reliable in advance, so he asked someone to help investigate. Other detectives contacted him and gave him some feedback. He also talked about how they removed the watch from Mouri Ran's hand.

"...He specifically avoided surveillance cameras. I mean, not just the hotel's surveillance cameras, but also the street surveillance cameras." Conan described how Hagiwara Kenji found a place to remove Mao Lilan's ID. "From what he said, the other party may have chosen a more efficient method compared to the inefficient method of bugging."

"Huh? So what you mean is that he not only installed a positioning device or a surveillance camera in there, but he is also mobilizing surveillance cameras in other places?" Maori Kogoro's eyebrows jumped twice. "He has the ability to call up surveillance cameras in other places, so why does he still need to find a detective to investigate for him? There is too much money. Do you decide to donate some to support the development of criminal investigation?"

"...Who knows?" Conan's mouth twitched twice.

You should ask the psychopath himself this kind of question.

After all, he is a detective and can only investigate the truth, not cure the disease.
