The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

Takagi Wataru dialed Sato Miwako's number, and while anxiously listening to the sound of the call being connected, he also paid attention to the conversation between Chiba Kazunobu and Chiba Kazunobu.

Masashi Emoto is Chiba's friend, but he is not familiar with him. Although Chiba said that it would be a more serious social gathering and he could just go there to have a drink and socialize and there was no need to be nervous, he still instinctively wanted to know more about the situation.

It would be bad if this really caused Sato to misunderstand...

"But, are you talking about the police officer in the short skirt?" Chiba Kazunobu thought for a moment, his expression strange, "Could it be..."

Traffic police, police officers, etc.? In short, they are the type who need to be on duty and pay more attention to their appearance.

Although a large number of female police officers also wear skirts with their formal uniforms, it is often inconvenient to wear short skirts...

"Yes, she's a pretty traffic police lady. She seems cheerful and easy to talk to. Are you really not going to go and chat with her?" Masashi Emoto smiled and nudged Chiba with his arm.

While I was listening to them chatting, the call on my cell phone was connected.

Miwako Sato on the other end of the phone seemed to be in a slightly noisy environment as well. Through the microphone, one could clearly hear the sound of voices and cups and plates colliding in the background of her conversation, as if they were also happening at the dining table.

"Hello? Is that Takagi? What's up so late? Sorry, it's a bit noisy here, wait for me to find a quieter place..."

"Oh, well, I just wanted to ask if you've had dinner yet. Of course, if you already have plans..."

While he was speaking, a hand suddenly pressed on Qianye Heshen's shoulder.

"What's wrong with wearing a short skirt?" Miyamoto Yumi, whose face was red from drinking, came closer. "I like to wear something nice when I'm on duty. Is that not okay?"

"Yumi? Then, the other policeman, could it be..."

In a corner of the restaurant, the musician playing the piano finished his performance, stood up and saluted towards the venue.

The rhythmic applause was transmitted into the mobile phones of both people at the same time, and then transmitted to each other's ears through the radio wave signals.

The two stunned people turned their heads at the same time and saw each other's faces.

"Sato...why are you..."

"You are the one, how could you..."

When the people at Kogoro Mouri's table saw Yumi Miyamoto approaching, they all kept quiet tacitly, and the expressions on their faces turned into a state of watching a good show.

At this time, we saw Takagi Shigeru and Sato Miwako finally noticed each other. Some raised their glasses, some lowered their heads, and they were obviously affected by this scene.

"This atmosphere is a bit bad, isn't it?" Mao Lilan said in a low voice awkwardly.

"No, this is more interesting..." Kogoro Mouri showed an expression that was somewhat gloating.

"...Uncle, don't curse other people's relationships to have setbacks just because Auntie Eri has a case and can't come to eat with you."

"What nonsense are you talking about, little devil?"

Tangze looked at Kogoro Mouri whose thoughts were exposed, and he knocked Conan on the head and shrugged.

He knew it.

In his impression, this seemed to be a case, but it was not the type with a very bad influence, and it was even beneficial to the development of their relationship. So when Kogoro Mori tried his best to say that he also wanted to go to the social gathering to take a look, he naturally let it go.

However, when he actually walked to the dining table, he found an unexpected person at the table.

"That's the one I met at the amusement park two days ago, a police officer from Yokohama, right?" Mao Lilan, who was deeply impressed by her last name, immediately thought of the association she had with this last name at that time. She couldn't help but grab Conan with one hand and pull Tang Ze with the other hand, "Why is she also..."

Conan looked at Sato Miwako and the drunk Miyamoto Yumi, sitting next to Hagiwara Chisuki, and raised his eyebrows in the same strange way.

"It's quite strange. I haven't seen her know Officer Sato and the others before. Did they know each other because of the amusement park case?" Conan, who was not in the fantasy park, raised his head and asked for Ran Mouri's opinion.

"No, I did run into him, but to say I know him..." Mao Lilan hesitated for a moment, and finally did not say that the thief who helped defuse the bomb that day also called himself Hagiwara. "Well, maybe we came into contact when the explosion happened. Officer Sato is a very responsible person."

She didn't say more, but those who had heard Matsuda Jinpei's story from the police officers in the First Investigation Division knew what she meant.

Miwako Sato was more active and sensitive about the bombing.

The pain caused by past cases has become a very important part of her career. She is particularly sensitive and proactive when it comes to the bombing case, so she will find Chisawa Hagiwara who is involved in it as soon as possible.

...and only then did he half-capture Jinpei Matsuda again.

Hiss, why do I have a feeling that I killed myself?

Tang Ze straightened his lips, looked at Mao Lilan thoughtfully as he listened to her euphemistic description, and finally chose Hondou Eisuke who was very close to them. He always felt that the combination over there was not right.

How should I put it? Why is there an atmosphere of a victims' mutual aid group in it?

"Oh, so, you are not here to attend the social gathering, you are here to discuss issues with Officer Hagiwara..." After hearing Sato Miwako's explanation, Takagi Shigeru suddenly realized.

Regarding the man with sunglasses who appeared at the explosion site that day and the ambiguous voice, there is indeed no more effective way than to ask Chisu Hagiwara, who was closest to the explosion point.

Sato Miwako shook her head, picked up a glass of wine, and whispered: "Not entirely, Yumi herself wanted to come, she is a friend of the organizer. In fact..."

"Actually, I was the one who contacted Officer Sato." Hagiwara Chisawa shook his cup and said calmly, "I also have some questions for you."

The three people who were out of tune with the atmosphere at the table exchanged glances with each other, and moved their seats at the same time, moving closer.

Since everyone's purpose is similar, there is no need to hide it.

"I heard from Officer Sato that you are looking for a man wearing sunglasses, right?" Hagiwara Chisu raised the cup and pressed it against her lips painted with blood-red lipstick. "Excuse me, is this man's last name Matsuda?"

"Hmm?" Sato Miwako opened her eyes wide after being interrupted before she could even speak. "Do you know Matsuda, too?"

"If you are talking about the policeman named Matsuda Jinpei who used to work in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, yes, I know him." Hagiwara Chisawa lowered his eyelashes to hide the floating emotions in his eyes, "Seven years ago, another bomb disposal policeman died at the hands of the same criminal. His last name was also Hagiwara, and he was my younger brother."

Miwako Sato opened her mouth, but the words she wanted to ask were stuck in her throat.

Several people who had lost their relatives and friends because of the explosion sat together because of an explosion and unclear clues about old people. In a trance, she seemed to see the scene where the threads of fate were entangled and intertwined.

"...I see. Your brother is Matsuda's friend who died seven years ago."

"Um……"

In a corner of the dining table, several policemen who were drinking silently amid laughter and chatter fell silent. Next to them, Tang Ze, who had been paying attention to what was happening on their side, used the action of drinking his drink to hide his grinning expression.

Hiss, this is super doubled.

Jinpei Matsuda, Kenji Hagiwara, I wish you peace.

----

"Well……"

"hiss……"

Jinpei Matsuda, who was working hard, raised his head and looked at Kenji Hagiwara who also raised his head at the same time. He quickly found the same subtle expression on the other's face.

"I don't know why, but I feel a chill..."

"……Me too."

"Well, do you think it could be my sister..." Kenji Hagiwara put down the document that he couldn't read at all, and expressed his doubts.

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

How should I put it? Maybe it was really the same as what Tang Ze said when he came to communicate with him and tried to enlighten him. Even if he was prepared to tell his sister, when he was really preparing to do so, he still couldn't help but feel panic.

It wasn't that I was worried that my sister wouldn't be able to accept it, or that the other party would leak something, but more of a fear that the more I thought about it, the more I didn't know how to start.

Matsuda Jinpei shook his head and said calmly, "No, in our situation, she wouldn't 'find' anything. We've already been completely exposed, right? Hey, you really appeared in front of her and blocked a whole wave of explosions for her. Even if she had an illusion that it might be an illusion because of the shock to her senses, she would be able to find something wrong after thinking about it carefully, right?"

Don't panic, there's no point in panicking. If you find out, you must have found out.

Now it's just a question of whether or not to tell her directly, and if so, how to tell her.

"Don't say it so casually, as if it has nothing to do with you." Hagiwara Kenji immediately turned his head away, "Compared to me, you are obviously more outrageous for even leaving your sunglasses at the scene, right? This can be considered direct evidence."

"Uh, this..."

After a few seconds of silence, the two of them put down what they were holding at the same time.

Ito Suehiko's temple has value, but not much. After Karasawa sneered at the secret treasure that turned from a roller coaster controller into a movie poster after taking out the temple, he did not bring it back to the cafe, but instead posted it on the wall of the operations room in a blatant manner, as a public execution that failed to distinguish between virtual and reality and romanticized suffering and depravity.

But Soichiro Fukayama did involve some things, and there were also clues related to the zoo. They are still processing this part, so that Tang Ze can consider whether Kidd or himself should destroy it, or hand it over to the winery to kill with a borrowed knife.

However, Tang Ze did not urge them, and everyone just handled them according to their normal working status, so even if the two of them took a break, no one would have any objections.

"How should we better handle this kind of thing? Otherwise, should we ask Zero?"

"Huh? Are you sure this won't awaken some not-so-nice memories in Kofuku-chan, and he'll be angry with us?"

"The way we handled it was so drastic that he almost got into a fight with the winery. It was clearly Master Jing's fault, how can we be blamed?"

"Well, at least we should ask him how to handle and deal with the aftermath, right? He does have more experience."

"Then it seems that I shouldn't ask him. I should ask Tang Ze directly. After all, it was Tang Ze who settled it in the end."

"……Um?"

----

"So, this kind of thing has happened before..."

"It's really amazing. After so many years, we met by chance and found that we are actually connected. It's a small world."

"You two little kids, what's wrong with that tone of voice..." Hagiwara Chisu, who was originally somewhat worried, was amused by the two people's emotional tone. He poured another glass of prepared sparkling water for each of them and pushed it in front of them.

Not only are they both minors, the key point is that each of them has a face bigger than the other, which makes them look younger among people of the same age and younger than their actual age.

So hearing them sigh like that made the scene even more hilarious.

"Well, I also have a relative who has been missing for many years." Hondou Eisuke took the drink and sighed softly, "I can understand your thoughts. In order to find her, I have mistaken her many times."

"Yeah, I'm almost the same." Tang Ze also nodded, with a smile of complicated worry on his face. "Although I wouldn't mistake someone for the wrong person, but for some complicated reasons... I always meet people who are similar to them. Sometimes I often hesitate, whether those are really illusions, or they really come back to me. I can understand your thoughts, Officer Hagiwara."

"Kangze, don't say that..." Sato Miwako patted his shoulder soothingly.

She didn't know much about Hondou Eisuke's situation, but she knew exactly what Tang Ze was referring to.

Those guys who coveted the wealth inherited by Tang Ze because of his dead parents deliberately imitated his father in front of him. This is not the first time, and they have caused some harm to Tang Ze.

Tang Ze thanked her for her comfort, picked up the cup, and used the action of drinking water to hide the shrewd look in his eyes.

Well, empathy is the first step.

Police officers like them, who have already gone through the pain period and accepted the death of their deceased loved ones, when they encounter people who are in greater need of protection and have similar experiences, will immediately shift their focus from their own sadness to the goodwill of wanting to hold an umbrella for others out of empathy.

An old method, but effective and tried and tested. Bring Hondou Eisuke along and the damage will be doubled.

"I'm fine. Officer Sato, I've figured it out." Tang Ze shook his head, and his smile became gentle and bright again. "I will no longer be controlled by that kind of emotion. After all, they want to use my emotions to defeat me because I am not firm in my own thoughts. Now I will only ask myself one question - 'If those disguises are not illusions, if they are really not dead, then should I be happy or sad?'"

"Is there any need to doubt this question?" Sato Miwako laughed, and then her expression froze.

"Yeah, this, is there any need to question it..." After leading her to come to this conclusion, Tang Ze lowered his head and smiled, "After understanding this, I have learned to control my emotions and will not be easily provoked."

If it is false, then I hope it is true. If it is true, then everyone will be happy, right?

Assuming it was an illusion, it wouldn't change anything, but assuming they were really alive, that would be the best thing of all.

As long as this point is made clear, no matter how many subtle entanglements and barriers there are, even if they still exist, they will only be insignificant worries.
