The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

After several powerful hammer blows, Tangze finally cancelled the empathy that had been in effect and mercifully threw out the glass beads that he had prepared in advance.

Since the posture he held Nikaidou Yuji from behind was enough to cover up the movements of his hands, it seemed to others that the Heimlich maneuver had taken effect. Nikaidou Yuji successfully spit out the hard object that was blocking his throat and resumed normal breathing.

"Glass balls? Why are there such things? Could they be mixed into the cake?"

"Mixed glass balls in the cake? Is this a prank by Lihua? But even if it's Lihua, this is very strange."

"Who knows? Maybe they are making another bet."

"They're playing a big game..."

These whispers did reach Nikaido Yuji's ears, but he had no time to care about other people's sarcastic remarks. He just looked at the round glass ball on the ground in complete confusion.

He never felt that he had swallowed anything foreign. He had clearly chewed it well. So when did this glass ball…

After letting him go, Tang Ze, whose clothes were a little messy due to the arrest, didn't say anything, but just slowly straightened and patted his clothes.

There's no way. Although it's actually a good idea to let this guy die in such an embarrassing suffocation, the empathy ability of homonymous revenge from Asai Narumi's coop is mainly a mental attack after all. Even if it can be reflected in the physiological condition to a certain extent and achieve an effect similar to the phantom pain affecting the body, Nikaidou Yuji is not really suffocated.

It was just that this horrible feeling of suffocation came from Tang Ze's experience in his previous life, so it was particularly cruel and fierce, making it completely unbearable for a greenhouse flower like Nikaidou Yuji, who would cry out even if his skin was scratched.

"Cool, Akechi-kun, your Heimlich move is amazing." Mifune Takuya finally dared to come over, hooked his hands around Karasawa's shoulders, and praised him in a low voice, "You've even learned this kind of first aid..."

"I've learned yachting, so it's reasonable for me to have some other skills, right?" Tang Ze joked, "I still go to Hawaii often for summer camp."

"Hawaii?" Mifune Takuya was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he suddenly said this, but he had to continue, "Oh, yes, you studied in the United States. The elite education style there is like this, right..."

Conan was just looking at Nikaidou Yuji who was lying on the ground gasping for breath in confusion, and was inexplicably looked at by Tang Ze: "......?"

The atmosphere on their side was relaxed and casual, but the expression of Ichiji Takashi who was standing at the door was very shocked.

According to other people present, Yuji Nikaido had something stuck in his throat while eating, and Detective Akechi started first aid after he showed the standard Heimlich sign. It seemed to be an accidental accident without any human factors.

But considering the content of the conversation he had just had and the words of thanksgiving left by Mingzhi, this scene seemed a little unusual.

Is this what the detective has him waiting for?

Or was it that the detective had seen through his plan for tonight and wanted to say that his crime plan itself was too clumsy and wanted to show him what it meant to leave no trace?

Before Ichieda Takashi could come to his senses, Nikaido Yuji, who had slowly regained his breath, was helped to the sofa nearby.

While moving him, they carefully checked Nikaidou to make sure he had no other injuries and that he did not have broken or injured ribs like some patients who underwent the Heimlich maneuver. They all looked at Tang Ze with admiration.

They can all be considered to be outstanding talents with superior family backgrounds and who have received some elite education. They have all heard to some extent about the damage that may be caused by the Heimlich maneuver.

In an emergency situation, it is easy for people to fail to control the extent of their use of strength. Nikaidou Yuji's ribs were intact, but the pain from being hit repeatedly in the same place and the muscles protesting was severe enough.

After all, right? He was beaten just now. Oh no, when he was receiving first aid, he was hit by a hammer and made a loud thumping sound. Everyone heard it...

"You have to thank Detective Akechi very much. If it weren't for his quick reaction, you would have been in danger tonight." Gojo Osamu spoke first, to Nikaido Yuji, who still had a dazed and confused expression.

Rokuda Masashi said pertinently: "I have heard of this kind of first aid, but I still can't make a quick judgment that it must be treated in this way, and achieve the effect so efficiently."

"Well, not to mention that it's easy to get rib fractures if you don't have any experience with the procedure..."

"After all, using the Heimlich maneuver is a very decisive and sensible decision. If additional damage is caused in the process, it will be easy to be blamed."

"...I will. Anyway, thank you anyway." Nikaidou Yuji touched his chest which was still in severe pain. His expression twisted for a moment, but he kept saying words of thanks.

Ichiji Takashi was completely dumbfounded: "..."

After beating someone up, they still say thank you in the end. Is this the power of a detective?

"——Actually, if we join an organization like the Yacht Club that often goes out to sea, we should learn some first aid knowledge."

After the false alarm, the people who were playing the card game continued the conversation along the same topic and soon brought up this issue.

"Yeah, now that I think about it, we were really brave a few years ago. Although everyone can swim, we didn't even have a lifeguard on the boat." Gojo Osamu put a card on the table and reminisced in a nostalgic tone, "But we had so much fun back then."

"Strictly speaking, it's not 'our ship', it's 'Lihua's ship'." Ichieda Takashi placed the drinks he brought over next to them and added, "She often took us to nearby islands back then. The pilot was Mr. Rokuda."

Rokuda Masashi, who was silently playing his cards, smiled and said, "I have a yacht driver's license, it just happened to be a coincidence."

"In addition to fishing, we have even tried diving and deep diving. Now it seems that you are really brave. If something happens, we won't have time to wait for rescue." Gojo Osamu nodded.

"It's indeed a good time, but you are absolutely right." Mifune Takuya seemed to be unable to stand their attitude and shrugged, "If we had learned more first aid knowledge, the tragedy two years ago would not have happened."

"Tragedy?" Mao Lilan, who was sitting on the side with a drink in hand and watching her father playing cards, heard this and briefly shifted her attention to their conversation, "Has your yacht club ever had an accident?"

"Didn't we agree not to talk about this?" Even though his chest was still aching, Nikaidou Yuji's eyes twitched and he still said, "Let's not talk about this kind of thing, okay?"

"Well, that's normal. There are always unexpected things in any activity..." Gojo Osamu laughed and didn't intend to elaborate.

"Hmm, that's strange. Why is Miss so slow today? Are you still not ready to change your clothes?" Rokuda Masashi changed the subject.

Takuya Mifune looked at their attitude and snorted softly.

He didn't regret joining their club. After all, although Shijing Lihua was not a good person and the club was full of her pets and it was full of smoke and dust, it did allow him to really get in touch with and fall in love with yachts.

He just couldn't stand these people trying to gloss over the situation and pretend that everything was harmonious and nothing had ever happened.

Considering that there were still unfamiliar customers, Mifune Taku did not continue to ridicule, and continued with their topic: "It must have been changed. I think she just doesn't want to pay attention to us. When she gets angry, who can afford to provoke her?"

"squeak--"

Just as they were talking about this, the door of the lounge was pushed open.

Granny Mi walked in carefully with a tray in her hands. After placing the snacks on the cabinet, she looked at Tang Ze who had straightened his clothes again and whispered, "Um, detective, the eldest lady said that she has a commission to talk to you and asked you to go to the room upstairs."

Everyone who was talking fell silent for a moment, and their eyes turned towards Tang Ze.

Everyone could see that the reason why Yoshii Rika had her outburst tonight was because after Akechi Goro repeatedly rejected her, and then Mifune Taku also challenged her rudely, which made her completely furious.

If we ask Goro Akechi to come over now, it seems that the only possibility is to ask him to bow his head and apologize or something.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It is hard to say whether Rika Shii understands how to run a company, but she seems to be born knowing how to be a superior villain, and she comes up with one idea after another to make trouble for others.

I'm afraid that just like every time in the past, she has found a way that she thinks can control Goro Akechi, and she is going to put pressure on him.

"...Me?" Tang Ze stood up slowly without being surprised. He glanced at the faces of the other people present and nodded calmly. "Okay, since it's a commission, please lead the way."

He was still looking for an opportunity to leave the crowd and contact Sijing Lihua, and this opportunity came to him.

Since someone is seeking death, there is no reason for him not to help her.

Amidst the sympathetic or worried looks from others, Tang Ze followed Granny Mi upstairs.

As a holiday villa, Sijing Manor not only has bedrooms, but also a large number of them. It is more than enough for their group of people to have one room each. Sijing Lihua even occupied the largest master bedroom without hesitation. As soon as you go up the stairs, you can see her room with the lights on.

Having a comfortable life that ordinary people can hardly imagine, not only are they not grateful, but they take it for granted that the world should revolve around them, and they are dissatisfied that there are still people who dare to resist...

Perhaps this is a true portrayal of the fact that the more you have, the more you desire, and your desires are never satisfied.

When Tang Ze walked in, Shijing Lihua, who was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, had changed out of her brightly colored dress that looked like a dahlia and put on a black, soft and light silk nightgown.

From the way she was dressed, it was not difficult to tell that she had already washed up and changed into her bed clothes, and it was obvious that she had no intention of going down to see them tonight.

"Detective Akechi." After removing her makeup, Shii Reika turned her head and glanced at Tang Ze. "It's true that if I don't talk to you about the commission, you won't be interested in contacting others. You are so rigid at such a young age. Don't you find it boring?"

As she spoke, she slowly wiped her lips with a wet wipe. The deep red mark spread on the towel, as if she had wiped away a bloodstain, like a vampire who had just drunk someone else's blood.

"Only by focusing on your career can you have the possibility of moving to a higher level. My current income and status are all earned through hard work, but I don't have the leisure time to have fun. You are really enviable." Tang Ze smiled and answered bluntly.

"Really? But isn't your father also a politician?" Shii Rika raised her lips jokingly, "Oh, that's right, you're a little unlucky. You didn't get his favor, nor did you get enough capital from him before he fell. Right, swallow..."

"Be careful with your words, Miss Sijing." Tang Ze shook his head and interrupted her, glancing at Granny Mi standing at the door.

"Tsk, being too cautious is boring, isn't it?" Holding her chin, Shii Rika looked at him and slowly raised her chin, "Grandma Mi? Go out first and close the door. The commission of a private detective involves privacy."

"Yes, Miss..."

Granny Mi didn't dare to say anything and quickly retreated, leaving only Tang Ze and Shii Rika in the room.

Tang Ze then turned his gaze and slowly looked at the woman in front of him.

It's not surprising that Shioi Rika knows about Shigehiko Tsuchiya. After all, the Shioi family has some connection with the organization, so it's not that difficult to know some inside information.

In other words, this is the form of cooperation between organizations and many companies. They provide intelligence and some shady resources to help these companies gain profits, and then the organizations in turn use the other party's channels to handle some of their own affairs. It is a mutually parasitic partner relationship.

The reason why I didn't let her say it was simply because I didn't want Xingchuan Hui, who was hiding in some corner, to hear it and get upset.

Of course it is there. After all, this is an organization's mission. Tang Ze still needs a law enforcement recorder, oh no, a camera to record the mission and contact process.

Now that the other party has taken the initiative to commit suicide, it gives him a more reasonable excuse to go crazy, which is a good thing.

Although given the distance and environment, Tang Ze could have subdued Shii Rika and sent her off as planned, but he decided to chat a few more words.

He was now very curious about how much Shii Lihua knew.

If she knew nothing or knew everything, she probably wouldn't have this attitude. This state of seeming to know but not really knowing is quite interesting.

This state should probably be called seeking death.

"Hehe, there's no one else to talk about, right?" Shii Rika laughed, showing several teeth, like a predator baring its teeth at its prey. "It's surprising to me that such a famous detective is actually the illegitimate son of a tainted politician. I'm sure your fans will be surprised too, right? It's not good to deceive them, little detective."

Tang Ze smiled, pulled down his gloves, and put his fingers inside more snugly.

Then the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he answered directly in a cold and bored tone.

"What's wrong? Just because you've been exposed to a little bit of gray stuff, you think you're the daughter of the underworld and can threaten me? I really give you face."
