The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

"Is it fun? You seem reluctant to leave..."

Handing over the personal belongings he had picked up for them with a smile, Kenji Hagiwara checked each child's personal belongings like a very qualified parent, confirming that none of them were lost during the roller coaster ride, and asked them in a friendly tone.

He has indeed ridden a roller coaster, but as far as Kenji Hagihara's experience is concerned, driving is more fun.

It’s not a question of the degree of excitement, but more of whether you can control the direction of travel and the speed at which you move forward.

Even though you know mentally that the roller coaster has passed quality screening and will not have any problems and can only run on a fixed track, you can't avoid a sense of loss of control after you start driving it.

This experience is quite different from the weightlessness when driving very fast and thrillingly. Even if he has not experienced Yoji Motobashi's psychologically traumatic malicious playground, it is not the type he would like.

"It's really fun!" Yoshida Ayumi took the drink cup from him, her eyes sparkling, "What a big roller coaster!"

"The most important thing is that there are seats for children who are under the height limit, so one guardian is enough." Haibara Ai took her electronic device from Hagiwara Kenji, put it back in her pocket, exhaled, and explained for the children, "We have been to other theme parks, but Ayumi and the others' parents are busy, so we usually go by ourselves, or with the professor and others."

Even though she is not a member of the Phantom Thieves, Haibara Ai has already gotten used to holding her phone and having Noah by her side every day, and she feels uncomfortable leaving her phone for a while.

This group of elementary school students, no matter how capable they are of rebellion and causing trouble, except Yuantai, are all little brats who can be picked up and carried away. Even if such children, who are not tall enough to need tickets, are allowed to ride the roller coaster, they must be accompanied by a guardian.

These children, who are used to playing on their own, are rarely accompanied by a guardian.

"I see..." Kenji Hagiwara nodded in understanding, then raised his head again and looked at the tall roller coaster track in front of him.

The giant snake-like railway track is placed on a steel frame and fixed using a variety of techniques. It seems to be in line with the park's near-future decoration style. It is all painted white. One section of the track even crosses the land and hovers over the sea.

When diving at high speed and you can't tell the difference between heaven and earth, gravity is reversed and there is endless blue above and below. Just imagining that scene will make you dizzy.

"That's true, it should be very interesting."

Kenji Hagiwara agreed as he listened to the long scream coming from a passing roller coaster.

Mao Lilan, whose nose was sweating with excitement, put down the water in her hand and urged: "Mr. Hagiwara, why don't you go sit for a while? You have been playing with us for so long, but you didn't get to play anything. It's such a loss."

"Well..." Hagiwara Kenji blinked.

"Well, if you want to play, go ahead and play." Having come into contact with the Phantom Thieves and fully understanding their true nature, Haibara Ai knew very well that these tall and strong men had childish souls in their shells. When they started fighting, the three of them together would not be even eighteen years old. So she reached out and pushed him, "This is a rare opportunity, so go ahead and play. We are enough for the kids, so don't worry about them like Tang Ze does."

How many times did she have to tell her that she just became smaller, not really returned to her childhood? It was really...

"Is it really okay?" Hagiwara Kenji glanced at the two of them, then looked at the three elementary school students behind them who had been idle for only two minutes and were already fighting, "Asking you to look after so many children..."

"It's always been this way." Mao Lilan showed a familiar expression, "Who told you... Well, anyway, don't worry, we can handle it."

"But we have to queue up again. There's no need to waste time."

"How come? I'm tired from walking too. So let us arrange it for you this time?"

"This isn't quite appropriate..."

"...Xiao Lan?" As the three were pushing and refusing, a familiar female voice came from the side, "Hey, I finally found you, what a coincidence!"

"Sonoko?" When she turned around and saw her best friend, Mao Lilan was in a daze for a moment.

Is this an illusion? Why does it feel like Sonoko's appearance rate recently, oh no, participation rate in events, that's not right, anyway, she's always there when something happens?

"Why did you come here?" Mao Lilan blinked, thought of something, and looked around, "You didn't bring Tang Ze or someone else here, did you? It's unlikely..."

After transferring from Tangze, there was a period of time when Sonoko was very keen on inviting Tangze out.

Tang Ze does accept invitations often, but he never accepts a single date, no matter whether it is her or Sonoko's invitation. He seems to be very worried that his situation will cause unnecessary misunderstandings if he goes out with the opposite sex.

Even though things have been basically talked about and everyone has a basic understanding of his complicated situation, Tang Ze still adheres to this principle.

"Well, that won't happen..." Suzuki Sonoko shifted her gaze.

Before she could explain anything, a hand reached out from the side and stuffed a full cup of drink into Suzuki Sonoko's palm.

"Sorry for the long wait! The line over there is really long... Hey, it's Miss Maori." The person first completed a set of smooth operations, and after Suzuki Sonoko firmly grasped the drink, he turned around and found Maori Ran, "What a coincidence, are you here to play too? Where's your father? And Tang Ze, and that little kid...?"

"It's Kyogoku-san, you're back in Japan." Mao Lilan greeted her in surprise, then looked at her bestie in realization, "Oh——"

"...He saw the news about the incident at the art museum and was a little worried. It just so happened that a game was over and the training camp gave them a holiday..." Suzuki Sonoko turned her head guiltily, "No, I didn't tell you on purpose. I was also surprised..."

"I understand, I understand. No need to explain." Mao Lilan smiled and pushed her best friend's back. "Go ahead. The queue for the roller coaster is very long. It just so happens that we have another one here..."

When Mao Lilan turned her head and was about to ask Suzuki Sonoko to help Hagiwara get a number plate, she found that the figure who had just stood next to her was gone.

"Huh? Where did you go...?"

"Why, do you have other friends here with you?" The heat on Suzuki Sonoko's face subsided and she looked around curiously.

Ran Mouri's social circle is very narrow. The people she knows are all her neighbors and classmates. If it weren't for Kudo Shinichi, she wouldn't have known people like Hattori Kazuha. She would really be a typical high school girl.

There are almost no friends of hers that Suzuki Sonoko doesn't know.

"Well, yes..." Mao Lilan was about to answer that he was the type of handsome guy that Sonoko would like, but she glanced at Kyogoku Makoto who was standing next to her, pursed her lips, and changed the subject, "... He was asked to take care of the child. He probably went to queue up by himself. Okay, okay, I won't disturb you guys anymore, have fun!"

Thinking of Kenji Hagiwara's face, and also thinking that he might not be willing to meet Sonoko and others who were unaware of the situation, Mouri Ran considerately took back all her spoilsport words and pushed her reluctant best friend towards the queue.

After holding her and saying something to her again and making arrangements to have dinner together in the evening, Suzuki Sonoko let go of her hand and followed Kyogoku Makoto towards the roller coaster.

"It seems that Sonoko and him are progressing very smoothly." Watching her leave, Mao Lilan smiled teasingly, "I didn't expect that Kyogoku-san, who looks dull, is actually quite good at making girls happy."

Unlike some people, who have to place bets and ask for favors to go to the amusement park, and finally drag people there to play together, and all the time they are either talking about Sherlock Holmes or discussing cases...

"Kang Ze taught him, probably." After putting her hands behind her back and pretending to be quiet for a while, Huiyuan Ai tiptoed and betrayed her brother without hesitation, "It seems that after the last meeting, Kyogoku Makoto has always had a good relationship with Tang Ze. Tang Ze gave him a lot of advice. This time, I'm afraid it was Tang Ze who sent him a message."

According to other people's descriptions, Kyogoku Makoto should be the type of person who is extremely serious and focused on something. He is practicing martial arts to improve himself, so it is unlikely that he would pay attention to any social news.

He reacted so quickly, returned home so quickly, and chose a popular dating spot as soon as he got back. None of them seemed like a decision that Kyogoku Makoto would make.

Do we need to guess the reason behind it?

"Tang Ze also provides this kind of consultation?" Mao Lilan opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Why didn't I..."

Considering that Kyogoku Makoto met Sonoko and got along with her exceptionally well, it was all thanks to Karasawa, she wanted to say it was after-sales service, but then she thought it felt weird, so she changed her way of saying it.

"…Isn't it?" Haibara Ai looked at her quietly with eyes that could see through the truth.

After thinking carefully, Mao Lilan really did seek love negotiation with Tang Ze, and even had a breakdown after discovering the truth, and ran to the other person's downstairs to block him. She also received comfort and solutions from Tang Ze: "... Uh."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Is that so." Haibara Ai shrugged, turned around, and walked out after the children who had already run away for a distance while playing.

Which of these high school students is good at love? Again, do we need to guess the reason behind it?

Mao Lilan scratched her nose embarrassedly and suddenly felt the authenticity of her bloodline.

At this time, Haibara Ai looked especially like Tang Ze's sister.

"Um, Ai-chan, oh no, Huibara..."

"It's okay. If you're not used to calling me Huibara, you can call me Xiao Ai." Huibara Ai walked lightly, "Everyone calls me Huibara just because they're worried that I don't like being treated as a child. It doesn't really matter to me."

She knew where Mao Lilan's awkwardness came from.

Before they discovered that she had also grown smaller, people who thought of her as an elementary school student would naturally call her Xiao Ai, just like they were calling a child. Calling her by her surname would seem a bit strange.

Most of the Phantom Thieves call her Shiho, but when they are outside, they call her Haibara out of concern for her identity.

But she has passed the time when she minds this kind of address. Even if it is called the very cute "Ai-chan", she would not mind it very much.

after all……

"It doesn't matter if it's a little cute. If they're really defeated by a child, those bastards will only be more angry and unwilling."

"Huh? What did you just say?"

"Nothing. Miss Lan, if they don't get over there now, they're going to bump into someone."

"Hey, hey, you three—"

----

“…Call us?”

It took a while for Kogoro Mouri to realize that he was being called. He raised his head, turned his head blankly to look at the person behind him, and then instinctively lowered his head to look at Conan at his feet.

It was obvious that the person who called out to them had obviously ignored or simply didn't see the waist-high little boy and was only calling out to him, Koshimizu Nanatsuki, and Hakuba Tan.

"Yes, yes, I'm calling you." The cleaner holding the mop angrily pressed the cleaning tool twice, "I mopped the floor with great effort, don't step on it like this!"

"Oh, sorry, sorry..." Looking down, he noticed that the three of them had been walking around in a dusty manner, leaving a trail of footprints on the ground that had been mopped by others. Kogoro Mori bowed and apologized reflexively, and the rest of the words got stuck in his throat.

When he lowered his head, he not only saw the footprints of the three of them on the floor tiles.

In front, on the other side of the cleaner's mop, there were more messy footprints on the ground that was obviously not cleaned yet, making the originally shiny office floor a mess.

Seeing that his attitude was good, the aggressive cleaning lady calmed down a little and let them go after simply wiping the mud off the soles of their shoes on the doormat.

She lowered her head and mopped the floor again, complaining, "Really? One by one... Why are there so many today? On a day off, they come to this unoccupied floor..."

"You said that a lot of people came here today?" Kogoro Mouri's forehead twitched.

"Yeah, God knows what's wrong. There haven't been any new tenants here for a long time."

"Because, has a murder happened here?" Nanatsuki Koshimizu glanced at the corridor behind her and asked the question even though she knew the answer.

This is the location where Shoji Nishio was sniped and killed. To be more precise, this is where Reiko Shimizu and Suehiko Ito fired the shots.

"It was mainly a murder that happened across the street." The cleaner had no intention of keeping it secret and said casually, "It was said that someone was shot in a company across the street, and the company here discovered it during work. The police suspected that the gunman fired from this side and blocked the scene for a while. Many companies felt that this was not auspicious and moved away."

"...There are quite a lot of companies in Tokyo that need to relocate." Conan came back to his senses from his thoughts and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.

"Well, should we consider increasing holdings of construction industry stocks?" Kuroba Kaito responded naturally.

"What are you talking about..." Maori Kogoro quickly brought the topic back, "Any clues about the gunman?"
