The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"What? He still looks like a child."

"Huh?" Mouri Kogoro, who was pushed aside, raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at his daughter's expression.

"Conan." Mao Lilan pointed at Conan who was surrounded by a group of people, touching his head and squeezing his face. "His usual appearance is really not like a child, and compared to his classmates, he seems to be similar to Tang Ze is a little more familiar with the game."

She did not reveal the rest of the story directly.

Whether it is that the child is too precocious, too withdrawn, that leaving his parents has caused certain psychological problems, or other more ridiculous speculations... it would be rude to say it directly.

She skipped these messy thoughts and continued: "It seems that Conan just has a special hobby. His classmates are not old enough to read mystery novels, so they don't have the chance to talk to anyone. But this is really related to That guy looks a lot like..."

"That guy?" Mouri Kogoro, who was not very happy, glanced at her sideways.

"That's the one who is proud and likes to be cool..."

"Sherlock Holmes is severely obsessed, an amateur in reasoning and a tone-deaf person. The most important thing is that after defeating me in a round, his whereabouts became a mystery..." A voice came from behind, catching Mao Lilan's words, "Kudo Shinichi, Right?"

"Hey, Hattori-kun?" Startled by the sudden voice, Mao Lilan turned around and saw Hattori Heiji's iconic black face.

Conan, who finally broke free from the clutches of a group of uncles and aunts, couldn't help but turn his head and look over.

"Are you also a Sherlock Holmes fan?" Mao Lilan nodded her cheek, wondering if she was making a fuss. Maybe the young detectives all admire Sherlock Holmes?

"Well..." Hattori Heiji secretly glanced at the other people in the field.

Although the car he was following was not Conan's, he could feel the confusion of these people.

His strong desire to survive made him take a step closer, and whispered to Mao Lilan: "I'm here to see Kudo. I think he would be interested in activities related to Holmes, right?"

As a result, Kudo’s girlfriend’s family came...

Hattori Heiji sighed sadly as he thought about how he had spent the whole night reading "Sherlock Holmes" and finally managed to get a spot.

He clearly likes Ellery Queen, but just to get in trouble with Kudo, he memorizes the works he doesn't like that much...

Lost money.

"Hmm!" He coughed, attracting everyone's attention. The organizer Hiroyuki Kanaya pointed to the clock above his head, "Now that everyone is here, let's explain the schedule for these two days. It's late today. Okay, everyone can go back to your room to rest early. Tomorrow after dinner, we will start our annual highlight - the super-difficult reasoning question and answer session!"

Hiroyuki Kanaya waved his hand, and the waiter Hitomi Iwai, who had freckles on his face, put on his gloves with understanding and carefully picked up the things in the box behind him.

"Those who get perfect scores will receive the first edition of Sherlock Holmes' "A Study in Scarlet"!"

Conan's eyes immediately focused on the book.

"A Study in Scarlet" was not originally sold as a single volume. It was published in Beeton's Christmas Almanac in 1887.

Due to the popularity of the work, a single volume of "A Study in Scarlet" was released the following year. Very few of them exist, and it is more difficult to obtain than the published work in which it was first published.

Even with Kudo Yusaku's financial resources and connections, their family only had one copy of "A Study in Scarlet", which was reprinted in 1988 by the British Sherlock Holmes Society to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Sherlock Holmes' last case.

Beaton's Christmas Almanac has a record of being sold at an auction for 200,000 pounds, so this, from 1988, is a real first edition book...

For a moment, the eyes of everyone in the hotel were fixed on the old book cover, unable to take their eyes away.

Feeling the hot and envious eyes, Hiroyuki Kanaya straightened his back, quite enjoying the attention.

In fact, rather than gathering fellow enthusiasts to exchange experiences, his biggest motivation for holding events every year is just for this moment.

Feeling a sense of accomplishment amid a small exclamation, Hiroyuki Kanaya continued: "Before starting the Q\u0026A, everyone, please prove your love and admiration for Sherlock Holmes and prove that you are qualified to receive this treasure. .”

"Proof?" Mouri Kogoro, the only one in the audience who was out of sorts, touched his head, "Do I want it too?"

"You are a special guest. You only need to participate in the Q\u0026A and comment on the event and give a speech at the end." Hiroyuki Kanaya motioned to the waiter to distribute questionnaires to everyone. He also took a copy in his hand and weighed it, "Of course , if you are interested in participating, it would also be a great honor..."

"This is?"

"This is a large questionnaire that I carefully selected and produced, "1000 Sherlock Holmes Questions"! Please hand in the written questionnaire before dinner tomorrow. Only those with a total score of 990 or above are eligible to participate in the after-dinner interview. Reasoning question and answer." Hiroyuki Kanaya, who was very proud, waved the document in his hand.

There was a thick stack of questionnaires with at least thirty or forty pieces of paper, which made Mouri Kogoro completely silent.

"I will complete the correction of the questionnaire myself, but I will be the first to say something ugly." Hiroyuki Kanaya puffed out his chest, but because of his body shape, it looked like he was just puffing out his belly. "My activities are for For real Sherlock Holmes fans, if it doesn’t reach 900 points...get out of my hotel!”

His eyes crossed Hattori Heiji's face, intentionally or unintentionally.

Hattori Heiji secretly rolled his eyes, but he honestly took the questionnaire handed to him by the waiter.

"You all know how precious the first edition of the book is, so as a precaution, please hand over your mobile phone and related books that you carry with you to Hitomi. We don't want anyone to use cheating methods. However, it doesn't matter even if you don't hand it over, every time We have installed monitors in every room. Please answer the questions within the shooting range of the surveillance cameras." Hiroyuki Kanaya made a gesture and asked Hitomi Iwai to hold the tray and receive what all the guests handed over.

"It's really troublesome..." Mouri Kogoro sighed, and without any intention of being unsocial, he also took out his mobile phone and put it in the tray.

"What you are doing is an invasion of privacy." Maria Toda muttered, glancing at the phone that vibrated due to the incoming call, but she honestly handed over the phone and the Sherlock Holmes-related books in her bag.

Hattori Heiji, who opened his backpack and took out a book, couldn't help but glance at the mobile phone she took out.

Different from her style of wearing gold and silver, with her hands full of rings, what this aunt took out was a very business-like, black and simple model, which was completely different from her dressing style.

He thought that for this kind of people, mobile phone cases would usually be decorated with rhinestones or silk, making them extremely gorgeous.

Is he too stereotyped?

"It doesn't matter. Boss Kanaya can only take pictures of the desks in the house. You just need to sit in front of the desk and write." Toba Kento, who has participated in the event more than once, shrugged indifferently.

Conan took the thick questionnaire, smelled the scent of ink, and couldn't help but smile.

This is great. Even if he is a child and answers the question correctly, no one will question it, right?

"Why is Hoshikawa so sleepy?" Sitting in the car, Tang Ze looked at Hoshikawa Hui, who was unconscious in the back seat with his glasses hanging on one side, and couldn't help but ask.

"He said he couldn't update a function on the website, so he went to the subway to look for Ehara Tokio. He has been bored at home these past few days, watching front-end courses." He glanced at the rearview mirror and lay there as if unconscious, even if Karasawa Hoshikawa Teru didn't wake up to the sound of opening the door and getting into the car. Miyano Akemi shook her head helplessly, "He is doing most of the manual screening work for Kaitou CH. I guess he didn't sleep yesterday."

After observing Xingchuan Hui for a while, he did see a greenish-black color under his eyelids, and Tang Ze reflected with a rare conscience.

Otherwise, just ask Dr. A Li if he knows any outsourced programmers.

The Phantom Thieves are not a vocational training class. One year after joining the Phantom Thieves, the members successfully transformed from unemployed vagrants to glorious coders. What does it look like?

"Anyway, there's still a little distance on the road, so I'll let him fall asleep in the car first, and I'll call him when he gets there." Miyano Akemi, who was wearing a mask, released her brakes, stepped on the accelerator, and headed towards the road with Rei Furitani. The car drove in the completely opposite direction, "Azhao, didn't you say you don't care about this matter?"

"It's true that I don't want to take care of them, but they are just a little crazy, and their crimes will not lead to death." Tang Ze operated the mobile phone and began to enter people's names one by one, "I can't guarantee that if we take action, they won't kill each other. "

"Even if the twisted desires disappear?"

"Even if the twisted desires disappear. Good and evil, right and wrong, have nothing to do with a person's character. Their ending is doomed when the cause occurs. So in many vendettas, even the murderer is the most sober one. Let's change our minds. You can also tell how many of the people are murderers and how many are the original victims, sister." Looking at the street scene receding in the night, Tang Ze said lightly, "We can only save people's hearts, but we can't. Cause and effect, don’t force a good ending.”

Miyano Akemi glanced at his expression, and her lips under the mask curled up.

He said it so heartlessly, if it really didn't matter, why bother traveling all night?

Although the image of joker that Karasawa uses externally is exaggerated and distorted, and is not completely consistent with him, what he may not be aware of is that when he acts as a joker, there are more or less leaks. Out of some of your own ideas.

The so-called "cutting off the cycle of evil" statement does represent Karasawa's thoughts to a certain extent.

He only prevents unnecessary misunderstandings and reparable grievances, sometimes even allowing crimes to occur, and highly recognizes the concept of blood revenge.

Looking at what he did for Xingchuan Hui, it is not difficult to find this.

After all, if sinners who have not been punished by the law die under the knife of the victim's anger, isn't that just cutting off the sin?

Someone reminded me that the group was full. I checked and saw that there were 200 people.

The number of people has risen to 500, and now it’s even wider
