The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"If you call a girl like that, you will be hated, this little classmate." Ayashiro Noriko let out a string of giggles and joked heartily, "Oh, Yumi, we are also called by children here. How old is Auntie..."

Horikoshi Yumi raised her hand reflexively and touched her delicate and soft skin. The anger that had surged up just now slowly calmed down.

She glanced at Ayashiro Noriko's smiling face, inhaled and exhaled, and smiled naturally: "Really, I'm not married yet... It's all your fault, Maori. Why did you get married and have children so early? It's all for nothing. It makes us all look a lot older."

"You are already thirty-seven or eighty-years-old, Yumi, please recognize the reality as soon as possible!" Nakamichi Kazushi, who had shaved his head, patted Horikoshi Yumi's slender shoulders, "There are very few people who are still single at this age. Come on!"

Horikoshi Yumi snorted, flicked her five fingers, looked at the light crossing her carefully maintained nails, and smiled: "What you said is true, I am indeed old and yellow... I was also a member of the judo club back then. Hua Twei, didn’t you guys all chase me?”

"Yes, in the end, you actually chose Kazushi. When Omura and I learned about this, we were still crying over it..." Yukio Ayashiro said with emotion.

"Hey, hey, hey..." Ayashiro Noriko's back suddenly tensed up, her fingers pinched her husband's ears, and with a bit of joking, but also a bit of serious embarrassment, she warned, "You are my husband now. Oh, be careful what you say!"

Yumi Horikoshi, who consciously made a comeback, smiled at first, but soon her smile became slightly stiff because of Jun Omura's problem.

"Yes, you and Hezhi, weren't you two dating at the time, and your relationship was very good until graduation... I thought you two would get married earlier than Ayashiro and the others." He pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose. Omura smiled honestly.

Nakamichi Kazushi's face twitched briefly for half a second. Before he could react, Yumi Horikoshi waved his hand and hit him on the head with a punch.

"What an annoying question, it's been more than ten years!" Yumi Horikoshi said with an exaggerated smile and a deliberately cheerful tone, "This bastard and I broke up a long time ago. It's too hard to fall in love with a detective! "

Mouri Kogoro twitched his brows and protested the map cannon: "Don't talk nonsense, Yumi, I've also been a criminal police officer, okay..."

"Yes, so you and your wife separated." Yumi Horikoshi replied easily.

"Yumi..." Jun Omura, who found that the topic developed unexpectedly, held his glasses in a panic, thinking about how to lighten the atmosphere.

"But it doesn't matter, there are always stupid girls who can't think about it." Yumi Horikoshi bumped the blank-faced Nakamichi Kazushi with her shoulder, "Good things for Kazushi are not far away, right?"

Nakamichi Kazushi instinctively became nervous, glanced at her expression, and turned back without daring to look further: "Ah, well, that's it."

"Oh? Nakamichi, you are getting married!"

"Really?"

"Probably, maybe there will be news within this year..."

"When did you fall in love? You kept it secret, kid." Mouri Kogoro also came to him and patted his shoulder jokingly, "Why, are you afraid that someone will rob you?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from everyone, the main reason is that it hasn't been completely decided yet." Kazushi Nakamichi touched his smooth head in embarrassment.

"According to your eyes, she must be a beautiful girl, right?" Ayashiro Noriko glanced at Horikoshi Yumi pointedly, and her words contained a hint of compliment or sarcasm.

"She is my boss's daughter. I will inform everyone when there is confirmed news..."

"It's great. Hezhi is about to enter the stage of marriage. Hey, unlike me, at this age, I am frustrated in love and unhappy at work. If the economy continues to be sluggish, I'm afraid I will have to face layoffs." Again. Once she lowered her head and considered her fingertips carefully, she lowered her voice and said, "When I think of this, I feel like I might as well just die..."

"Huh?!"

Several voices of surprise and suspicion were heard, and everyone present widened their eyes.

"It's just a joke! Speaking of which, Omura, we are the only two single people left. How about we make do with it, just the two of us get married and go together..."

"ah?"

"Are you serious? You are too beautiful to die for, you idiot!"

The atmosphere that had been stagnant for a moment returned to the relaxed and happy atmosphere. Karasawa, who had never participated in it, turned his eyes playfully on Nakamichi Kazushi and Horikoshi Yumi twice.

This look seemed to be quenched with poison, and that look seemed to be frozen.

There is always a feeling that it is no surprise which of these two people strikes first.

There is a saying that Mouri Kogoro's social circle is also strange.

Such two characters, who knew each other and came together during college, should belong to a kind of garbage classification of fate.

With Karasawa thinking like this, he didn't interrupt the banter. The group of people who were having a lively conversation quietly got up and walked towards the door of the Japanese room.

"Hey, where are you going?" Conan, who was also not fully involved in their social circle, suddenly caught Tang Ze's movements and turned around.

While driving all the way from near home, Conan would feel an indescribable strange mood every time he saw Tang Ze sitting in the passenger seat.

Although after careful calculation, this was not the first time they traveled together, but it seemed like it was the first time they really took the same means of transportation.

There was always a feeling that Tang Ze, although he was sitting in their car and chatting with them in a decent manner, was actually quite absent-minded.

"I'm going to take a bath in the hot spring." Karasawa straightened his back and replied lazily.

"No, you just took a bath in the hot spring..."

"Who told me that I was ordered to take care of the children?" Tangze dismissed the question easily. He glanced at Conan and said, "I haven't been able to enjoy the hot spring for long. Who did I owe it to?"

"Uh..." Conan was speechless.

It made sense and he couldn't refute it, but he clearly remembered that Tang Ze had just carried him and scrubbed him evenly like a chicken about to be drained. The feeling of too much light...

"Okay, I guess Uncle Maori will feel uncomfortable if I stay here." After saying such a strange statement that completely contradicted his generation, Karasawa waved his hand, "I'll go to the open-air bath for a while and come back during lunch time. .If anything happens, call me and I will hear you."

"Oh..." Conan stared blankly at Tang Ze's leaving figure, still feeling a little weird, and touched his chin.

What does it mean, what happens? It’s just a chat, what can happen?

————

"Wow--" The sound of the sliding door opening and closing.

Taking off his clogs, Tang Ze stepped on the warm pebbles and walked into the largest hot spring in the mist.

"...I feel like I'm about to be steamed." As soon as Tangsawa got out of the water, he heard Hoshikawa Teru's feeble voice coming from the other side, "Do I have to soak in the hot springs?"

"The destination of this team building is a hot spring hotel. Why are you here if you don't want to take a bath in the hot spring?" He ruthlessly dismissed his protest. Tang Ze casually stretched his shoulders and said, "The robots are taking a bath in the hot spring. What do you think? "

Xingchuan Hui looked at the water not far away with his eyebrows twitching. He looked at the completely soaked puppet, floating on the water like a piece of fabric abandoned by someone, and was speechless for a while.

…This can’t be called hot spring bathing! This should obviously be called rubbing a rag!

"Okay, there are still a lot of rooms in this hotel. If you go as you please, you probably won't run into them. You can go out and take care of it for lunch later. You can have some free time in the afternoon and find some entertainment. We can go out to watch the fireworks together in the evening. There are so many people here, just a few tourists. They are not conspicuous at all, so there will be no problem." Tang Ze made arrangements happily, and took a picture of the water surface, "I see that you are all too tight lately. It’s a bit tense, so it’s time to relax.”

"Who are we nervous about? Don't tell me." From behind the rocks in the distance, Miyano Akemi's equally sleepy voice came, "Besides, leaving Shiho alone to look after the house..."

At Karasawa's request, several of them had to pack up and follow them to Tochigi County. However, if Haibara Ai disappeared with her, Conan would be hard to fool.

Therefore, now on the entire 22nd, only Huihara Ai will come in and out.

"How can she be called a housekeeper? She just goes there to do experiments on a routine basis." Tangze shrugged and said helplessly, "Noa is in charge of the house anyway."

"Gududu..." The puppet lying in the water spit out a string of bubbles in response.

After the incident with Kyosuke Futo was over, and after cleaning up the leader's Phantom Thieves, they finally had time to pack up the newly acquired equipment.

After upgrading Noah's host, Tangze thoughtfully installed cameras, speakers, and various corresponding switches throughout the home. Everyone had an almost semi-magical smart home experience in advance.

The room dedicated to Noah has come into use. A computer room covering a large area has begun preliminary construction work. Under the guidance of Dr. Ali and Noah himself, he is preparing to slowly build a computer room for him. Super calculated.

As Karasawa said before, strong artificial intelligence is also a pearl in the field of computers. Noah's Ark is naturally not just a conscious and emotional electronic life.

As long as Noah wants to, he can become a god in the online world. The only thing that restrains him is the hardware requirements. Tangze has no reason to continue to restrain him.

Although it is still difficult for Karasawa to build a supercomputer that can rank among the best in the world, it is easy to start little by little, starting with increasing the storage capacity of Noah.

After the initial establishment of the server, Noah can now barely take the initiative to build and control part of his own palace like he did in the cocoon.

This was what Karasawa was inspired by when he led Futo Kyosuke to change the world.

It would be a waste to have such a useful function sitting idle here. How long will it take to upgrade if you don’t spend money on it now?

He is also looking forward to what kind of chemical reaction will occur when Noah's Ark, which can achieve the five-year learning efficiency of human beings in one year, encounters the endless year of Ke Xue's timeline.

"So, what's the main topic this time?" Perseveringly bringing the topic back, Asai Narumi took a ladle of water and poured it in the direction of Karasawa, reminding the unobtrusive group leader not to forget their purpose, "Who should I start with?" Which one should I start with, Nakamichi Kazushi, or Yumi Horikoshi?"

"What a perfect match, these two." Before giving instructions, Tang Ze let out a sigh. He shook his head, "What a heavyweight couple."

Not only are their brain circuits different from each other, but their emotional relationship is also very twisted. Even Tang Ze, who already knows the cause and effect of the incident, doesn't know how to prescribe the right medicine.

Kazushi Nakamichi, a detective in Chiba Prefecture, and Yumi Horikoshi, an employee of a cosmetics company.

The two were members of Mouri Kogoro's club when he was in college. They had been in an inseparable love relationship since college, and they didn't really break up even when their classmate's daughter was seventeen years old.

Nakamichi and Shi wanted to get married, but Yumi Horikoshi refused, so Nakamichi and Shi wanted to give up their relationship, go on a blind date and marry their boss's daughter, but Yumi Horikoshi refused, saying that if he wanted to get married, he would take them both. Intimate photos of a relationship of more than ten years, going to make trouble with his fiancée...

At this point in the story, the main blame may still be on Horikoshi Yumi. However, faced with the threat from his girlfriend, Nakamichi Kazushi neither chose to make it clear to her and get rid of the relationship, nor did he choose to explain the situation to his fiancée and find a compromise method to solve the problem. , he chose to kill his ex-girlfriend directly.

What should I say, you better not break up. It’s not good to harm normal people. Tokyo is chaotic enough, and it’s not easy for normal people.

"Nakamichi Kazushi's murderous intention is already very determined, and the same goes for Horikoshi Yumi's paranoia. Even if they change their minds, if they are still entangled with each other, it is only a matter of time before the murder comes." Supporting the stone surface behind him, Karasawa He took a breath and said, "Our change of heart is not a once-and-for-all insurance policy. It can at best serve as a relief valve."

"Well, so...?" Sensing the subtext that Karasawa wanted to cause trouble, Asai raised his eyebrows, "Do you have any ideas or choices other than changing your mind?"

"Isn't this just a good opportunity?" Tang Ze showed a happy smile, turned over, and said eagerly, "Can Noah's space be opened again now?"

"Huh?" Noah, whose name was called, raised his head from the water and made a vague voice like he was talking with water in his mouth, "It's ready to run."

"But if it's just running, it doesn't mean much." After understanding part of Karasawa's thoughts, Hoshikawa Hui's expression became strange, "Now, it's too late to customize the stage for these two people."

"There is no need to customize it." Looking sideways at Hoshikawa Teru's blurry shadow through the mist, Tang Ze shrugged, "A man who is about to get married and is worried about having an intimate photo of himself with his ex-girlfriend has a photo of him and his ex-girlfriend in his hand. , and women who want to use this as a bargaining chip...do you think of anything?"

"...Huh?" Xingchuan Hui slowly widened his eyes after realizing something, "You're not, are you?"

"Although, you have a good idea." Miyano Akemi's hesitant voice came from far away, "I managed to get it in unexpectedly, but, this... Hiroyuki Kanaya..."

Thinking of this deceased person who died with no peace of mind, Miyano Akemi almost shed bitter tears for him.

As a die-hard Sherlock Holmes fan, he took comfort in his love for literary works and characters to take comfort from the unsatisfactory life. This was not a bad thing in the first place.

However, after his love was so persistent that it became extremely exclusive and aggressive, and even led to the creation of a palace, misfortune befell him.

Even if he himself died in a party fight with his colleagues, his palace was unknowingly visited by the Phantom Thieves and became a place chosen by Karasawa for them to practice. He spent a lot of money to obtain the only copy, and the replica was given away casually. The detective who comes to your door.

That's it for now. If anyone thinks about it, others will be cold, the palace will collapse, and it can be taken out and used again and again.

His palace was sewn into his own script by the AI ​​without warning, and now, it is being used as a stage to teach foolish men and resentful women...

"Isn't this just right?" Karasawa, who didn't feel any pain in his conscience, splashed the water and was quite proud of his idea. "After all, Noah is indeed a member of the Phantom Thieves. We can't let him always be like a logistics worker. Are you hiding behind the scenes like others? Recruiting Noah's Ark, what kind of effect can it have? Isn't this a good opportunity to make a debut?"

"Besides, they are still using leftover materials from the game. Outsiders can't tell anything is wrong, right?" Hoshikawa Teru wiped his face with a towel. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was the heat from the hot springs on his face, or what Karasawa said. The sweat came out.

"Yes, so, we can even show it to Conan and the others this time." Tang Ze smiled and snapped his fingers wetly, "One stone kills multiple people, isn't it beautiful?"

"Hey, Hiroyuki Kanaya..." Miyano Akemi was still sighing.

"He should be happy that the London he imagined can be used as a serious stage for his favorite works. It's a great thing!" Tang Ze touched his chin and deeply felt that he was really a good person who liked the beauty of adulthood.

Although there is no cocoon as a medium, if you want to cover up the existence of the cognitive world, you still need to add some more procedures to make all developments seem to comply with materialism. However, with the precedent of holographic games, everyone is always more accepting.

When you go on vacation, don't make it too exaggerated. Do some sideshows as a pastime, which can be regarded as completing a team-building project.

"That's it! Prepare Noah. When the couple prepares to enter the room for a 1V1 life-and-death duel in the afternoon, we can almost take them there." Tang Ze waved his hand boldly.

"Gududu..." The person who responded to him was Noah who sank into the water again and spit out a series of bubbles.
