The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Ah, I'm a little tired..." After stretching, Noriko Ayaki wiped the sweat from her face and looked at the time, "Is it already past three o'clock? Should I call Yumi? She also Slept too long."

Although Yumi Horikoshi usually likes to act cheerful and outgoing, they all know in their hearts that she is not that easy to get along with. If there is any group activity, if she is not notified, there will be many complaints later.

"It's up to her. I think she just doesn't want to talk to anyone today, and she talks in a weird way." Mouri Kogoro shook his head and said unhappily.

"Oh, no need to wake her up or anything." Kazushi Nakamichi, who was leaning against the wall with his arms folded, said, "Yumi is very angry when she wakes up. She hates being woken up when she is sleeping."

"This is quite the truth..." Ayashiro Noriko also hesitated, "She used to be embarrassed for a long time when she was called out during her nap."

"If you don't wake her up now, when the fireworks festival starts later, if she misses the opportunity to watch, won't she still be scolded?" Yukio Ayashiro helplessly shrugged his shoulders, "Let's go, let's go wake her up. .”

Several people responded one after another and slowly walked out of the billiard room one by one, heading towards Horikoshi Yumi's room.

So soon, they also discovered the fact that Horikoshi Yumi was missing.

Not only that……

"A pair of larger clogs, and a pair of smaller ones." The solemn-looking Mouri Kogoro picked up the two lonely pairs of shoes in the corridor and said seriously, "This hotel is in a remote location, and there should be no other guests except us. Then, these two pairs of shoes..."

"Tang Ze, and Conan, and them too?!" Mao Lilan clamped her mouth tightly, shocked, took out her cell phone and started dialing the two people's numbers in turn.

Over there, the attendees of the class reunion also took turns dialing Horikoshi Yumi's number.

After a long ringing tone, several calls were automatically hung up because no one answered.

"Yumi's mobile phone is not in the room." The Ayashiro couple rummaged around with sweat on their faces, and their expressions became more and more uneasy. "But her other luggage is still there, including her cosmetic bag, wallet, and other personal items. .”

"What happened?" Nakamichi Kazushi looked around anxiously, looking at Mao Lilan who was anxious with tears in his eyes, and then at his old classmates who looked ugly, "Did someone take all three of them away?"

"... Let's look for it separately." Mouri Kogoro took a breath and suggested, "There are rice fields for one or two kilometers near this hotel. The business district is further away, and it takes nearly half an hour to walk. None of them have changed their clothes. , even the clogs are left here, there is no reason to go far away. Maybe I just went out for some reason and got lost."

Mao Lilan tightened her grip on her phone, which was hot because of it, and pursed her lips, intending to refute, but she couldn't help but feel lucky.

He didn't bring his cell phone or wallet, and he didn't even change his clothes. Karasawa, who had a stable and reliable personality, would not take a kid like Conan to do such a risky thing.

But if they didn't leave on their own initiative, wouldn't it mean that something terrible happened to Tangze and Conan?

"Well, let's look around. If they're not in the hotel, they won't go too far." Several people looked at each other, exchanged glances, and agreed to the suggestion.

So soon, several people scattered in different directions, matching the calls, and looked for three people in a deserted field.

As a result, half an hour later, when we agreed to meet on time, only five people came back.

"Where is Uncle Zhongdao?" Looking at Omura Chun who was supposed to act with him in astonishment, Mao Lilan's hands trembled slightly.

She couldn't help but think of the scary little game Karasawa told her and Suzuki Sonoko after playing it before.

A group of people ran into a suspicious building in a cheap location. As night came, they disappeared one after another...

Unable to help but tighten the short feathered fabric around her body, Mao Lilan took a step closer to her father and tightly grasped the clothes on his back.

"I, I don't know..." Jun Omura's face turned pale, and cold sweat crawled all over his face. "He said that he seemed to have seen someone in a certain direction, and asked me to wait where I was, while he went to see for himself. As a result, after he ran away, I waited and waited, but no one came...I..."

Ayancheng and his wife looked at each other, couldn't help but hold each other's hands tightly, and were also nervously touching each other.

Fortunately, three people were missing. After searching for a long time, I lost another one...

"Should we consider calling the police?" Mao Lilan leaned behind Maori Kogoro and suggested in a low voice, "If you go missing in this location, it will still be very dangerous if you don't find it in time..."

"But since there is no one else nearby, how on earth did they..."

"There are other people!" Jun Omura, who had always looked gloomy, raised his voice and interrupted their discussion, "There are other people in this hotel!"

Everyone's eyes turned around and looked at him critically.

"I, I just left the billiard room to go to the bathroom. When I passed by the hall... I saw, I saw..." Omura Jun swallowed, glanced at Mouri Kogoro uneasily, and gritted his teeth and continued, "I I saw a man with white hair standing by the window on the second floor, looking down at me with a very unkind look. Seeing that I spotted him, he sneered at me and quickly disappeared from the window."

"White hair?" Mouri Kogoro frowned, "A very old person? Why didn't you say anything just now?"

"No, he looks very young..." After hesitating again and again, despite the scrutinizing gazes of others, Omura Jun finally fumbled for something from his sleeve pocket and handed it to them.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Mouri Kogoro felt a sense of familiarity.

This dense paper, this slightly uneven ink trace...

"Preview letter of the Phantom Thieves of Heart?" he said in a strange voice, and Mouri Kogoro turned the paper over.

Fortunately among the misfortunes, this is not a heart-stealing message to Jun Omura or something like that. The Phantom Thieves don't seem to be here to add fuel to their already complicated situation.

However, the situation does not seem to be much better, because the current situation of 9 people losing 4 may have been caused by this group of Phantom Thieves.

"Dear travelers of the "Benkei" hotel:

The special program we have prepared for you will be officially staged soon.

Please come to the lobby on time at 3:40 pm to watch and provide your valuable suggestions for this new program.

Thanks for taking the time to do this, it's greatly appreciated. "

Mouri Kogoro's brows trembled when he saw this strange invitation letter, not quite understanding what new tricks these Phantom Thieves were playing.

Ever since he became a somewhat famous detective, these guys who came out of nowhere have become active around him, which is annoying.

He's not the only famous detective in Tokyo, so do you have to keep an eye on him?

However, the focus of the letter is not on this, but on the final "invitation list".

"There are no names of Karasawa, Conan, Uncle Nakamichi and Aunt Horikoshi." Mao Lilan frowned and looked at the last five names, a little relieved, "It seems that several of them were recruited by the Phantom Thieves. people took it away.”

Although these people in the Phantom Thieves of the Heart are mysterious and seem to have many secret methods and purposes, they will never affect innocent people. In the several exchanges with them, not only did they not hurt others, they also He has repeatedly helped others in distress.

If they had taken away Karasawa and Conan, there shouldn't be any serious consequences.

Mao Lilan was relieved, but the hearts of others were even higher.

Being targeted by the Phantom Thieves of the Heart doesn't mean that these people...

They were staring at the invitation letter, and while their thoughts were wandering, a string of soft music came from the tea room on the first floor, which immediately attracted their attention.

On the TV screen that turned on automatically, the bright red Phantom Thieves logo danced gently amidst the melodious and brisk piano sound.

————

“Hiss—” Conan touched the back of his neck and climbed up in pain. He looked around and felt slightly speechless. “Is this bringing us into the game, Noah’s Ark? Yes. Is this necessary?”

He was now in the same Japanese-style room as he had witnessed before, where Yumi Horikoshi was taken.

He did not try in vain to open the door or open the window. He knew clearly that he had probably entered the game.

"I'm sorry, Kudo." A metallic robot boy appeared in front of him the next moment, tilted his head, and smiled slyly, "If you are allowed to move freely, I'm afraid it will interfere with our next plan. Who told you Did you discover it so quickly, Detective?"

"Next step plan..." Although he knew that the pain on his neck was probably just a simulated digital signal, Conan couldn't help but rub it a few more times, and then captured something from his words, "You, Are you planning to bring in other Uncle Maori’s classmates as well?”

Since he had listened to the entire process of Noah's Ark's attack on Yumi Horikoshi, he had already speculated on the situation that might have been discovered in this hotel during their conversation.

Nakamichi Kazushi, the bald Chiba Prefecture detective, has the deepest emotional entanglement with Horikoshi Yumi. His blind date and preparation for marriage without telling Horikoshi Yumi completely detonated the landmine between them. The conflict has escalated to this day. He has already expressed his feelings towards Horikoshi. Yumi had murderous intent.

This should be the reason why the members of the Phantom Thieves showed up today and put on this special show.

"Don't you think that because of Horikoshi Yumi's request, we will really change Nakamichi Kazushi's mind and force him to give up his original life plan?" Noah tilted his head and looked at Conan with surprise. One glance, "You have such a bad idea of ​​us, Kudo-kun."

"Then, are you lying when you promised Yumi Horikoshi so simply?" His eyebrows twitched, and Conan glanced at Noah's Ark.

You have already taught artificial intelligence how to deceive humans, and even use a set of tricks to deceive customers... What on earth are you teaching an innocent ten-year-old computer, guys from the Phantom Thieves!

"You'll find out later." Noah smiled and rolled his eyes, holding up a finger and waving it mysteriously, "There's a special surprise!"

Conan looked at his expression and shook his head. He turned back casually and continued to look at the Japanese room, and then he was surprised when he thought of something: "...Where is Karaze?"

"He is in another room." Another familiar young voice came. Conan was stunned. He turned around and saw the white-haired phantom thief walking straight through the wall and walking into the room. "Good afternoon, little one." Detective. Don't worry, we can't hurt Tang Ze, but there are some things that you can't let him know, right?"

Knowing in his heart that what joker said was basically true, Conan was not really worried about them hurting their friends. He just sighed with regret and sat down cross-legged on the tatami: "I didn't have to hide it from Karasawa. I mean, I thought we would have the opportunity to sit down and communicate together.”

At present, no one except himself knows that he is connected with the Phantom Thief of Heart.

From Conan's understanding, Karasawa must not know about the existence of the Phantom Thieves. Otherwise, when he was on the verge of losing his horse last time, he should have gone to Joker to bring in reinforcements instead of suddenly pulling out a Black Feather Kaito.

After all, Joker lives next door to him, how convenient it is.

This is not only a good opportunity to explain the situation to Karasawa, but also an opportunity for joker to communicate with Karasawa head-on. It seems that not only is there no need to hide the Phantom Thieves from Karasawa, but if Karasawa sees it with his own eyes, he might be able to take the opportunity to figure out what happened to Joker...

"Thank you for your concern, little detective." In response to his friend's concern with a pun, Tang Ze waved his hand towards Noah, "Come on to the sofa."

It is true that tatami can be used for sitting on the floor, but Karasawa still prefers beanbag sofas that have a certain amount of support and are very soft and fit.

It was all his own territory, there was no need to make do with it, Karasawa commanded Noah unceremoniously.

Noah, who had fully explored Karasawa's soft furnishing preferences at the No. 22 base, waved his hand and created a wide bean bag that was exactly the same as the sofa in their villa, even the colorful pillows on it were restored.

After thanking him, Tangze slumped down on the sofa skillfully and made a "please" gesture to Conan: "As for what we are going to do... you can see for yourself."

As he finished speaking, the entire wall on the side of the room suddenly flashed twice, showing a picture, like a huge screen that spread across the entire wall.

The picture faced a simple, utility room-like cabin.

The windows of the unoccupied cabin were closed, but from the cracks in the damaged wood, it was not difficult to guess the weather outside. This probably happened in the afternoon.

Soon, the door of the cabin creaked, and a figure walked into the cabin, with his back facing the door, as if waiting for something.

That was Yumi Horikoshi wearing a yukata and bare feet.

Before Conan could ask a question, within a few seconds, another figure stepped into the room.

"Yumi, why are you here?" Looking at the woman who turned her back to this side without saying a word, Nakamichi Kazushi narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but observe the environment they were in.

The hotel they chose was surrounded by farmhouses, and no one could be seen even after walking for a kilometer or two. As long as he was not seen by other old classmates who were traveling with him, his actions could be said to be very covert.

It was precisely because of this that he chose to attack Yumi Horikoshi at this party. This was his most likely chance of getting away with it.

And at this moment...

Yumi Horikoshi didn't know why she came to a place like this. She was already alone. The environment of this small house was messy and complicated, and it seemed that no one had visited it for a long time.

As long as he subdues Yumi Horikoshi, whether he kills her here or simply hides her and throws her to a more remote place, that will be a more perfect solution than his original plan.

Her emotional breakdown and disappearance after meeting her classmates were all her own choices and actions, and he did not exert any influence on them.

Just make her disappearance a reality.

So when he gently called Horikoshi Yumi's name and slowly approached the woman, the fierce light in his eyes could not be concealed at all, and the ferocious expression of determination was like an evil ghost.

He rushed forward and grabbed the woman's neck with both hands, preparing to subdue her or even break her neck directly.

However, this time, he missed everything.

The surrounding environment changed, and a dazzling vortex spread, swallowing up the entire cabin. The next second, a pure white space appeared in front of Nakamichi Kazushi.

"As expected of a murderer who is determined to kill." Two palms clapped together, creating a round of applause with the resonance of metal collision. Noah stood in an empty white space and looked at Nakamichi Kazushi with a smile, "It's wonderful. What about the action, Mr. Nakamichi?"

Surprised and panicked, Nakamichi and Shi staggered a few times as they tried to throw themselves into the air. They took a few steps back in panic. They looked at the little boy standing a few meters away in shock, who didn't look like a human being. His first reaction was to raise his hand. Gave myself a slap in the face.

"Pfft." Amused by his decisive slap in the face, Noah clapped his hands a few more times, "It's really wonderful. Do you deserve to be a detective? You have amazing decision-making and execution skills."

"...Where is this place?!" The burning pain on his face reminded him that he really had not hallucinated, or was not dreaming. Nakamichi Kazushi said sharply, "Who are you!"

"Well, how should I say it?" Noah tapped his cheek, made two metallic sounds, and snapped his fingers.

Soon, the video of Nakamichi Kazushi following Horikoshi Yumi into the house and attacking him suddenly appeared in mid-air and started to play automatically.

The scene ended abruptly when he grabbed the woman's neck, but this realistic image was enough to make Nakamichi and Shimu's eyes split.

Although this video is not real and is probably just an illusion created by the other party to fool him, combined with the fact that Horikoshi Yumi is missing, it is enough to make him the well-deserved first suspect.

Coupled with his relationship with Yumi Horikoshi...his handle is already in the other party's hands.

"It's good that you are willing to listen to me." Noah nodded, "Have you ever heard of the 'Phantom Thieves of the Heart'?"

When things got to this point, Nakamichi Kazushi, who had already been pinched by the Phantom Thieves, naturally followed in the footsteps of Horikoshi Yumi. The whole process of peeling skin, drawing cakes, and signing a contract was smooth, natural, sincere, and very rhythmic. .

Even the two or three meters long user agreement at the end, which cannot be read at all and will be automatically confirmed in 10 seconds, is exactly the same.

Conan looked at the screen with his facial features flying: "..."

Even if Noah's Ark is not human and should not be treated with human ethics, his mind is indeed only ten years old, right? ! What are you teaching children, joker!
