The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

Chapter 282 Tang Ze: I’m addicted to drama, I can’t help it

Standing in front of Kanaya's boss' house, Hattori Heiji's expression was a little solemn.

"Sure enough, this can't be a simple suicide. Someone wants to trap us here." He looked at the smashed mobile phone parts on the ground, and his originally dark face was now as black as the bottom of a pot. "We just I went to the garage to check and found that the fuel tank of the other car that brought us here had been drained, the battery was dead and it couldn't start at all."

"Am I right?" Kento Toba glanced at Maria Toda who was holding her cell phone intentionally or unintentionally, and pushed up his glasses, "This can never be a suicide or an accident. The shop owner was murdered. Yes, right?"

"It's not just that." Hattori Heiji frowned, "If he just wanted to murder Boss Kanaya, there is no need for the murderer to trap us here."

Maria Toda stuffed the mobile phone in her arms, looking frightened: "As I said at the dinner table... it seems like in a mystery novel, he wants to cause more murders?"

"It seems that the murderer is someone present." Mouri Kogoro said in a deep voice and entered a serious mode, "Has anyone seen him since the shop owner distributed the questionnaire last night?"

"Where's the waiter? You must want to see him, right? He also needs to eat."

Hitomi Iwai clenched her hands, shook her head and denied, "I have never entered this room. The boss is on a diet to lose weight recently. He only eats some simple light meals and does not need me to deliver food."

"What about surveillance?" Hattori Heiji quickly pointed out, "Since every room is monitored, the whereabouts of all guests can be easily confirmed, right?"

"Um..." Hitomi Iwai grinned awkwardly, "Sorry, those are all fake. Even if we have so many cameras in such a small hotel, how can we equip so many data storage devices? What's more, Installing cameras in guests' rooms is an invasion of privacy. It's just some models."

Hattori Heiji twitched his lips, not knowing whether to praise him for being smart or scold him for being cunning.

It's quite clever and stuck on the edge of illegality and nonsense... Should I say that he is an experienced reader of mystery novels?

The detectives entered into a step-by-step rhythm of questioning and reasoning. Belmod pretended to be anxious, opened his phone, and clicked on the newly delivered email on the other side.

It was obvious that her unrelenting persecution had completely aroused Kumail's negative emotions. This boy, who was accustomed to pretending to be humble and polite in written language, had no trace of honorifics in the messages he sent.

[It seems that you no longer want to resolve this issue peacefully, Belmode.

Don't push me, you don't want to know what I can do. 】

Belmod clicked on the unfriendly tone on the screen, looked at the atmosphere of reasoning getting better and better, and started tapping casually with his eyes lowered.

【oh? Then I'm really a little curious.

By the way, Kumail, do you know that Akira Karasawa and Shirley are actually cousins?

After careful calculation, you are the one who stole my mission goal. 】

"Ah ha ha ha!" A series of sharp and high-pitched laughter broke the tense atmosphere in the venue, as well as Belmod who was looking at the files on his mobile phone playfully.

"What's wrong, Ayako?" Toba Kento turned around and looked at his female companion.

Ayako Oki took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit a lighter, and said in a determined tone: "I already know the identity of the murderer, the methods used by the murderer... and I have decisive evidence."

"What did you say?" The detectives who had not yet found a clue widened their eyes.

"I'll give the murderer a little leeway, 10 minutes. If you don't want me to prove your crime, you'd better surrender yourself." Holding the slender cigarette in her mouth, Oki Ayako smiled slightly and turned towards the corridor.

"Ayako, where are you going?"

"bathroom!"

"At this time, don't act alone! We don't know who the murderer is yet..."

The other people in the venue looked at each other for a while, their eyes passing over the faces, and they were all a little frightened.

Regardless of whether Oki Ayako's thoughts are right or wrong, she would say it with such certainty. There is a high probability... that the person who is planning to continue committing crimes is really among them.

Mao Lilan rubbed her arms that were covered in goosebumps, moved closer to her father, and said softly: "Miss Ayako, something was not right in the afternoon. She looked flustered..."

"Paniced?" After catching this keyword, Toshiaki Fujisawa's expression changed, "Isn't it possible? In fact, she is..."

"Ding ding ding..." The ringing sound of an old-fashioned dial-up phone came from the cell phone in Belmod's hand.

The people in the discussion couldn't help but look at her.

In order to prevent his other mobile phone from being exposed, Belmod has set silent sounds for most of the numbers and contacts, and this kind of ringtone is a special sound effect he has set for certain people...

She looked at the caller ID, raised her lips, and said calmly: "It's the police officer who contacted me. They may not be able to find their way over... I'll pick him up at the door. The signal here is not good."

Belmode, who showed no signs of any strangeness, moved towards the door of the hotel, which no one was paying attention to at the moment, and stood in front of the large glass window on the first floor, looking at the gradually brightening morning sky outside the window, and the sea breeze. Thick smoke rose up from the vehicle that exploded at the bottom of the cliff.

Coupled with the not-so-clear weather, which looked like it was about to rain, it felt like dawn was approaching and the storm was not over yet.

"Hello?" Looking at the scene in front of her, she put the phone to her ear and whispered her own hoarse and ambiguous mature female voice, "Why did you call me suddenly... Don't disturb my mood, Kumail.”

"Really?" On the other end of the phone, Goro Akechi's voice was cold and flat, instead of his usual soft voice. "Lower your head."

Belmod raised his eyebrows and did not question. He just lowered his gaze and looked at his body, which was now a little bloated with padding.

Then she saw a bright red point shining on her black dress through the glass of the window.

Laser pointer!

Belmod's pupils shrank, and he realized what this little red dot meant almost instantly.

She instinctively left the window and looked for cover to prevent herself from being exposed to snipers.

Kumail's sniping skills were recognized by Gin.

The last person to receive similar comments was the FBI mole, Shuichi Akai...

Just before she dodged, Mao Lilan's friendly question came from behind her.

"Ms. Toda? How are you?" Instead of continuing to gather in the strange crowd, Mao Lilan looked at the back of Maria Toda, thinking of the friendliness of this aunt, and couldn't help but move closer to her, "The police are over there. Is there anything going on on the road?"

Belmode, who was about to take a step forward, suddenly froze.

If she dodges, she will be exposed to Kumail's sniper...

According to her judgment, Kumail would not hurt Angel, but if Kumail pulled the trigger on her and she avoided it...

Belmode's eyes, which were covered by her golden fluffy hair, revealed a gloomy evil aura.

There was a small chuckle on the other end of the phone.

The laughter was extremely playful, more irritating than sarcastic.

Just as Goro Akechi chuckled, the red dot on her waist and abdomen slowly moved up, aiming at the colored gemstone on her chest, reflecting a brilliant halo.

"How is it?" The receiver sent the sarcastic words from the other side into her ears, "Have I satisfied your curiosity?"

It’s finally time for a holiday——
