The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

Kudo Shinichi stared blankly at the black screen.

Is this the case? Hey hey hey, does this guy have some kind of problem that makes him feel uncomfortable when he speaks clearly?

He pressed his eyebrows and resisted the urge to call back immediately. Thinking of the unfinished case in the study on the other side, he immediately opened the door and walked out.

"Have you finished the phone call?" Karasawa, who was looking out with the curtains raised, turned his head and looked at Kudo Shinichi, whose face was still not good-looking, and frowned slightly, "Do you still have a fever? Your forehead is still sweating."

"It's a little bit... but it may not be just the cold, it may be something similar to the immune mechanism." Kudo Shinichi shook his head, enduring the lingering discomfort, "Let's go over there first. We can't let Hattori Heiji continue to guess."

"You go there first." Tangze pointed to the room he just walked out of, "Theoretically, I should still be taking care of Conan now. I don't know you... Is it okay to be alone?"

...That's right. If Tang Ze comes with him, it will be like taking care of the child and running away halfway, which will easily give Xiaolan a bad association.

It’s really difficult. What if the effect of the liquor wears off in the middle of his words and he becomes smaller on the spot...

Joker really likes to talk half-heartedly, but he never speaks loudly. Since he categorically calls this state a temporary recovery, it's better not to be stubborn.

Kudo Shinichi, who had some self-knowledge but not much, nodded heavily, leaving Karasawa to continue spending time in the room, walking alone through the corridor towards the study room that was crowded with people.

Halfway there, he even sent an email to joker.

[How long can this kind of recovery last? Do you know the approximate range? 】

Joker, who always replied instantly, fell silent this time. He walked to the door of the study room, and Kudo Shinichi failed to receive a reply as expected.

Are you really angry? Or do you have other things to do and don’t have time to talk to him?

Kudo Shinichi, who felt unsure, put away his cell phone, took a deep breath, and stood in front of the study door.

Inside the door, Hattori Heiji's reasoning is getting better.

"It would take five or six minutes to kill the victim and then arrange him to sit at the table. No matter how fast it is, it will take five or six minutes. Mrs. Tsujimura who arrived with us cannot commit the crime..." Hattori Heiji mentioned the fishing method he had just used for the experiment. Line, "The neighbors chatted for an hour, and it was impossible for the housekeeper who came in with us until Mrs. Tsujimura came home. Although Mr. Tsujimura and his fiancée briefly went to the second floor, their stay was very short..." After ruling it out, the most suspicious person is Mr. Tsujimura who has been staying next door to the study and watching TV!"

He pointed at Tsujimura Toshimitsu, who was sitting at the tea table with a cane and a solemn expression.

"Grandpa..." Tsujimura Takazan looked at Tsujimura Toshimitsu in shock, "This is impossible, he has no reason..."

"Stop talking about Takayama." Tsujimura Toshimitsu patted his clothes and stood up, "The sky net is so comprehensive that it doesn't miss anything. Yes, it was me who killed someone."

done! It seems that I won this time, Kudo! Hattori Heiji smiled in victory.

It's a pity that Tang Zezhao took that kid out, otherwise he would have given him a provocative look.

Why would Kudo show up because of his conceited blunder? I really don’t know where he got the confidence to make such delusional predictions...

"No, there is another murderer." Holding the door frame to catch his breath, Kudo Shinichi raised his head, interrupted Tsujimura Toshimitsu's confession and Hattori Heiji's triumphant mood, and looked at everyone in the room, "He is completely wrong. .”

Hearing this all-too-familiar voice, Mao Lilan turned around in shock.

"Shinichi!"

"Brother Kudo..."

"Kudo!"

"Xinyi, why did you come here?" Mao Lilan looked at him blankly. Although she had already talked about meeting for the second time after disappearing, she felt the urge to cry. "As soon as you disappeared, you didn't show your face... ...Do you know that others will be worried?"

"Okay, Xiaolan, wait for me, you'll be fine soon." Kudo Shinichi knew that more sweat was breaking out on his face, but he still gave Mao Lilan a reassuring and confident smile.

"Say I made a mistake... Do you have any advice, Kudo?" Hattori Heiji's face froze, he folded his arms and assumed a defensive posture, "After the experiment just now, my reasoning method is completely feasible, and the key is now Officer Megure’s pocket, how do you retort?”

"Stick the fishing line in the tape inside the keychain, penetrate the victim's trouser pocket, lock the door from the outside, and tie the key to the other end of the fishing line. The door frame, table and pocket are like a set of pulleys, and the key is It will go into the pocket smoothly... I have just done an experiment and it has indeed been done. Brother Kudo, do you have any other opinions?" Megure Police Department, who cooperated with Hattori Heiji to play a wave of victims, also looked at Kudo Shinichi expectantly.

After all, Hattori Heiji was also from Osaka and the son of an Osaka police officer. He came to Tokyo and danced in front of a famous detective like Mouri Kogoro, which made the Megure Police Department somewhat unhappy.

"Did it really go into the pocket?" Kudo Shinichi leaned against the door, covering up his lack of strength, and said with a smile, "Officer Megure, take it out and take a look."

"Isn't it just fine..." Hattori Heiji tugged at Police Department Megure's trouser pocket and watched in shock as the key that was supposed to enter the mezzanine easily fell out of the outer layer, "How could that be!"

"You ignored a very critical issue, that is, the victim was sitting. He was already relatively fat. After sitting down, the space in his trouser pocket became even narrower. Moreover, when Tang Ze found the key, it was folded in half. , the key ring will slide down in that state when it is placed in the mezzanine facing outward." Recovering a little strength consciously, Kudo Shinichi stood up straight with difficulty, walked to the center of the study, and clicked on the key that fell on the ground.

Hattori Heiji's face looked ugly.

He reluctantly grabbed the fishing line in his hand, glanced at Tsujimura Toshimitsu, and protested in a low voice: "But, I did find this fishing line in the Japanese room next door..."

Kudo Shinichi shook his head, slowly bent down, and picked up the key that fell on the ground.

"The real key evidence is here." With a strong finger, he rotated the keychain's interlayer and looked at the sullen Tsujimura Kimie, "Mrs. Tsujimura, your key is paired with this key, that is, Say, you also have a keychain that looks exactly like it...can you let us take a look at it?"

Tsujimura Kimi suddenly squeezed the small handbag in his hand.

She looked at Kudo Shinichi's young face, and Karasawa's equally determined and calm young face flashed before her eyes.

Mr. Tsujimura laughed at himself: "I am indeed old...it is the keen young people who are the future."

When she said this, she looked at the young and promising Tsujimura Takazan, and for a moment she thought of Tsujimura Isao when he was young, and even more of her ex-husband's high-spirited appearance...

So she took out her keys from the bag without any struggle and unscrewed the mezzanine with her own hands, revealing the fatal groove in it.

"This is where the poisonous needles are placed." Kudo Shinichi closed the keychain and handed it to the police officer on the side. He put his hands in the pockets of his school uniform and walked closer to Tsujimura Kimie. "Hattori is right, this It is indeed a 'secret room murder case', but this secret room is not closed in the physical sense... but in the psychological sense. When Hattori and the others entered the study, Mr. Tsujimura was probably not dead yet, right?"

"Ah..." Hearing this, Hattori Heiji suddenly realized.

He turned to look at the books and documents piled high on the desk, and then glanced at the speaker next to the desk.

"So... when we entered the study, Mr. Tsujimura Isao was just knocked down by the drug, and he was put into that position while sleeping... Mrs. Tsujimura took out the poisonous needle in the keychain when we got closer, and held it in front of us In front of everyone, Mr. Tsujimura's life was taken away quietly." Hattori Heiji breathed out and shook his head.

Killing the victim in front of two detectives...how ironic.

Thinking of this, some fragmentary fragments quickly connected in Hattori Heiji's mind. He suddenly raised his head and subconsciously searched for Karasawa's figure in the room.

Kudo Shinichi didn't notice anything strange about Hattori Heiji. He was concentrating on maintaining a steady state, fearing that his feet would slip and reveal his timidity, and Xiaolan would discover the clues about his body.

As soon as he reached out, he took down a picture frame from the bookshelf. Considering his current height, it was easy to take it off. It was not the case before. He fell off the ladder just to get this thing.

Looking at the photo with mixed emotions, he turned the photo frame to the crowd. Inside was a group photo of a young couple: "As for the motive, I'm afraid this is it, Mrs. Tsujimura. Karasawa said before that you and Sachiko Katsuragi look very similar. Look. This photo makes it even more obvious.”

When Tsujimura Takashi heard his fiancée's name, he looked at the photo in the frame carefully, and his face changed drastically: "This, except for the different hair color, this is a complete replica of Sachiko!"

Katsuragi Sachiko hunched her shoulders and grabbed her boyfriend's arm, turning her head to look at Tsujimura Kimie in great surprise.

"Uh, so, Miss Sachiko, is you and Isao Tsujimura's daughter...?" Police Department Megure swallowed and looked at the young couple hugging each other helplessly. In an instant, his mind was in sync with everyone before. .

If they have lovers, they will eventually become brothers and sisters...?

"How is that possible?" Tsujimura Kimi was dumbfounded and shook his head, "I am Tsujimura Isao's step-in-law... The reason why I look so similar to Sachiko is because I am her biological mother, and Sachiko is the daughter of me and mine. Ex-husband, Yamashiro Kenji’s daughter…she has no blood relationship with Takashi.”

Tsujimura Takayama let out a long breath, then realized that the occasion seemed inappropriate, and quietly held back his next words.

It scared him to death... It's okay if it's not, it's okay if it's not...

"Twenty years ago, Tsujimura Isao framed my husband Yamashiro Kenji and accused him of corruption and bribery. Kenji couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide after being imprisoned. My daughter was also taken away by relatives of my husband's family.

"I was helpless, and it was when I was most hesitant that I believed in Tsujimura Isao's sweet words and married this devilish sinner!" At this point, Tsujimura Kōe was filled with hatred, his eyes were split, and he stared fiercely. Looking behind the empty desk at the moment, it seemed as if the man was still sitting there, "It wasn't until Guishan showed me his girlfriend's photo that I discovered the truth!"

Listening to her angry roar, Tsujimura Takayama couldn't help but hug his girlfriend tighter.

Katsuragi Sachiko was trembling slightly and looked at Tsujimura Kimie at a loss.

"He said he didn't agree with Takayama's marriage. I pressed him repeatedly, and he finally told the truth. He said, 'I will not allow Takayama to marry that man's daughter'!" Tsujimura Kimie clenched his fists and said thoroughly. He roared angrily, "He then admitted that he framed Shancheng, not only to compete with him for the position of diplomat, but also for me! It was he who found a way to make Shancheng suffer all kinds of torture in prison, and he died with hatred. Finally! Shancheng has already passed away bearing unwarranted charges. If I don’t take his life, I won’t be able to sleep or eat well!”

"Mom, mom..." Sachiko Katsuragi covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes filled with mist.

After breathing for a few times, Tsujimura Kimi stood up straight with a sneer, arranged his hair and clothes, and became a graceful lady again. She calmly looked at the policemen walking towards her: "Tsuizan, I know that I have no position. That said, please take good care of Sachiko. You are a good child, and I believe you can make her happy for my unfit mother."

"That's why Mrs. Tsujimura asked Karasawa to come with her..." Hattori Heiji stood aside, watching with a heavy heart as she put on the handcuffs calmly, as if she had completed her mission, relieved all her burdens, and faced her face radiantly. She walked out, less like a prisoner who confessed, and more like a triumphant hero, "because she had made up her mind to kill Isao Tsujimura, and in order to protect her daughter, she could not easily let her relationship with Sachiko Katsuragi be exposed..." ...Is that so, Kudo?”

Hattori Heiji turned around and looked at Kudo Shinichi who was standing to the side for advice.

But he saw the other person holding his chest in pain, leaning against the bookshelf, bending over and coughing violently.

"Kudo, are you okay..." He took a step closer and tried to support Kudo Shinichi, who seemed to be about to lose his balance, but he pushed him away first.

"I'm fine, I just have the flu." Kudo Shinichi covered his mouth and nose, gasped twice, and managed to stand up straight again.

Hattori Heiji straightened his baseball cap and looked at him in surprise: "It turns out that my idea was misunderstood from the beginning. You are so good this time. I am convinced that I lost. But by the way, how did you understand the case? What about someone who knows it so well? You were not present the whole time... Sure enough, you were hiding near the Mori Office?"

"Conan and Karasawa-san told me." Kudo Shinichi used the excuse he had prepared a long time ago, used his peripheral vision to determine Mao Lilan's position, took two steps calmly, and stood closer to the door. place, "After I contacted them, I asked about the details of the scene... However, Hattori Heiji, this cannot be called a defeat."

"oh?"

"There is no distinction between high and low reasoning, because there is only one truth."

Kudo Shinichi finished reciting the classic lines, and just when he was about to grin, he felt his heart tightening violently, and the death-like pain hit him again.

Oops...I'm afraid the time limit has expired.

Kudo Shinichi raised his head, looked at the worried Mao Lilan, and smiled bitterly.

Once you show up, you have to run away in a hurry because the magic is about to fail. What kind of Cinderella story is this...

But I can only say sorry first. It's not the time yet. If you give him some time, he will stand in front of Mao Lilan and tell her everything exactly...

Taking a deep breath, he smiled at Mao Lilan, then turned around and ran without hesitation.

He didn't know when he would change back... He had to hurry up and return to Tangze to change his clothes.

"Xinyi!" Mao Lilan was startled and immediately followed his footsteps, chasing after him, "You are still sick, where are you going!"

Damn it, with Xiaolan's foot strength, could he really outrun her? !

Looking around in panic at the road, Kudo Shinichi could only choose to run downstairs first.

At most, we can try to explain why Conan ran to the first floor. With Tang Ze's emotional intelligence and adaptability, he will definitely be able to help fool him.

It’s important to escape now, but not to be caught up——

He hurriedly rushed down the stairs and was about to continue heading towards the entrance hall when his heart contracted so hard that Kudo Shinichi stumbled.

It’s over! No, you can’t change back here!

At least hide and find a room...

He turned the corner in the direction of the living room in a panic, and then saw a familiar face, and couldn't help but be startled.

In the corridor in front of him, stood "Kudo Shinichi" who was also wearing the Teidan school uniform.

"Shh." The other person didn't look surprised when he bumped into him. He just raised his index finger in front of his lips, making a silent gesture, then pointed to the cloakroom on the side, stretched out his hand, and pushed him into the door. .

It's a joker!

Kudo Shinichi relaxed instantly and fell limply into the closet, trying hard to suppress his breathing.

"Shinichi!" Mao Lilan's voice followed, and joker gave him one last look, a look of disgust and helplessness.

Thinking about his series of operations and having to rely on the other party to save his life in the end, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "..."

Forgot to write in the chapter title...
