The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Did you really ask him that? And he refused?" Tang Ze repeated.

He didn't doubt Huihara Ai's intention to lie, but he was really surprised.

"Yeah, it's hard to believe, isn't it? He helped Joker blur the blood stains on the ground. You saw this too. When I saw Kudo coming to me with the sample, I thought he was still on guard against Joker. As a result, he seemed I'm really just worried about my friend." Haiyuan Ai thought of Conan's tangled and struggling expression before and laughed amusingly, "An opportunity to further explore the other party's secrets was right in front of him, but he let go and let it go. Well, I guess even he himself is unwilling to do so, right?"

Even now, Haibara Ai doesn't quite understand what the friendship between Conan and Joker is like.

If we want to say that they trust each other, Joker obviously did not reveal anything about his knowledge to Kudo. Conan promised to help him cover up his traces, but retained a blood sample in the process. Their trust was undoubtedly reserved.

But to say that the two of them are on guard against each other is not entirely true. Joker will rush to help immediately after Kudo's call. Kudo can also suppress his detective nature and only care about Joker himself. No matter how you listen, they are all very close friends.

After pondering for a while, Hui Yuan Ai shook his head and threw these trivial matters out of his mind.

Forget it, maybe this is the relationship between the detective and the phantom thief, she doesn't need to be so clear about it.

"The detective himself doesn't want to figure it out, so there's no need for me to ask for trouble. As long as it's clear that the Kaito Joker is in an antagonistic relationship with the organization. The organization's enemies can be our allies." Haibara Ai said easily. .

Moreover, even if Kudo's description of "Joker deliberately getting hurt to teach the children a lesson" is true, the method he chose was to injure himself. Judging from the result, the fact is that he allowed the children to be rescued unscathed.

Such a guy is not a bad person anyway, right?

Tangze himself, who was highly praised for his three views, put his fist to his lips, suppressing the complaints that wanted to come out, and doubting his life.

What's going on? Isn't this Conan a little too moralistic?

He had exposed such a huge flaw, and originally planned to wait for Conan to pursue it excitedly because he thought he had caught his tail, but when the result turned out to be indifferent and confused, he laughed mercilessly.

Lend a helping hand in times of crisis, rush to the scene as soon as possible out of danger, and laugh. This is what healthy and friendly phantom thieves and detectives are, isn't it?

As a result, he was having a lot of fun digging holes here, and Conan didn't go on the route he expected at all.

Isn't that right? The handle was handed to you, and you actually held back like this?

Is this the same Conan who used the appearance of a child to rummage through boxes and cabinets, causing Mouri Kogoro to increase his poison resistance?

"Unexpected?" It was funny to see that the smile on Karasawa's face was frozen due to the unexpected situation. Miyano Akemi leaned into his ear and whispered, "A certain person who claims to only play 100% The person who won the bet seems to be losing this time? Aren’t you being taken seriously as a friend, Joker-kun~"

————

"Hey, hey, what do you mean by 'you violated the original intention of the detective'? Are you going too far?" He couldn't help but raise his voice a little. After saying this, Conan quickly turned around to make sure that Mao Lilan had not been Hearing this, he lowered his voice again, "I didn't use your blood to investigate without authorization. Doesn't it still belong to me?"

Karasawa raised his hand and pressed his head, and said angrily: "You are 'Kudo Shinichi', the 'Heisei Sherlock Holmes' who let the criminals run away like this? Damn it, you made me lose a motorcycle and A set of personal computers, I took note of this account.”

"Huh? You made a bet with me, and in the end you have to blame me for harming you?" Conan was so angry at his sophistical logic, "So, the blood was really left by you on purpose, was it? Right? Ah, you are too bad..."

Will you bet on his subsequent behavior? Doesn't that fully indicate that Joker knows exactly what blood he will collect?

Setting a trap for him here and rake him down... thinking about it, I suddenly felt like it was such a loss!

If I had known earlier, I should have asked Haiyuan to check him out. I really don’t know what he is so confident about...

Also, the place where Haiyuan lives is right next door to Joker's house. Maybe his actions there were completely under his sight...

Gee, that’s even more annoying.

"Obviously he is a detective who is reckless enough to get himself killed by criminals in order to investigate cases. Why does he suddenly have such a high moral bottom line this time?" Tang Ze leaned on the railing of the balcony and sighed heavily.

Conan's face was a little confused, and he turned back to confirm Mao Lilan's position, and then gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Hey, I am completely out of good intentions this time, so there is no need to hurt me like this, right?"

"Yeah, it's just too kind." He was so kind that it disrupted his original thoughts.

Looking at the dark Kudo residence next door, Karasawa suddenly wanted to dig through a pack of cigarettes and take a few puffs.

Although it has been several years since he quit smoking, he is still a smoker and alcoholic. Whenever he faces a complicated mood, he still has the urge to light up a cigarette.

"Kudo, let me tell you, don't you always talk about finding out the truth about me?" Rarely used a very solemn name, Karasawa said softly, losing the joking tone that Joker usually used, He sounded very cold, "Why don't you continue the investigation? Maybe the key to unlocking the lock is on that cotton swab?"

"What are you talking about..." Hearing that Joker was seriously confused, Conan's expression turned into laughter and tears. "I am indeed worried that your unknown methods may get out of control, but you have saved me more than once. I You don’t think our relationship is that bad, joker? Why do you think I’ll treat you like a criminal?”

Joker, when using his methods, is like an omnipotent superpower.

Conan, who had witnessed several heart-changing scenes, was more convinced of this than anyone else.

However, joker is a nice person, he takes good care of him, he has helped him several times, he has no ill intentions towards him, and he can be regarded as a reliable friend. He was very convinced of this.

Conan wants to find out the truth about the ability to change hearts and figure out how he does it. This is of course due to the detective's hopeless pursuit of the truth, but when it comes to the specific discussion of joker itself... Conan's current thinking is that he has to think The solution is to find ways to prevent him from losing control after understanding the principle.

This is not only for the sake of public safety, but also because I don't want this good friend to fall into the abyss.

To catch the joker before he loses control is what both the detective and his friend want to do.

"Moreover, if you can't follow the steps to deduce the conclusion, but directly open the reference answers, is this cheating?" Conan continued in a very relaxed and confident tone, "This is a contest between Kudo Shinichi and joker. With the help of other The methods are too boring."

"Haha..." Tang Ze laughed twice, as if he was answering him, but also as if he was talking to himself, "Well, I really lost to you. You win the round this time, detective."

Tang Ze said the sentence of admitting defeat, and his expression was completely opposite, relaxed and soft.

"You lost to me and won a round. Why are you competing without permission?" Conan, who was confused, asked a sincere question towards the microphone.

Of course I was defeated by unpredictable human hearts and emotions.

A spoiler who thinks he's familiar with the plot and can predict everyone's moves, but he can't make a single move. Isn't that enough to fail?

This is no longer a game or comic, this is my new life... Keep this in mind, arrogant me.

Karasawa concluded in his mind, without answering Conan's question, he just said: "Okay, I understand. Now that we have given up on shortcuts and want to pursue the classic method of breaking the situation, let's start our real contest, detective."

"Isn't it true that our competition is always going on?"

"You're right."

Karasawa looked at the empty Kudo house next door and smiled.

A "pop" sound, like the sound of something breaking through the obstacle, exploded in Tangze's ears.
