The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"The murderer is still in the villa?" After hearing this conclusion, everyone was in a daze.

There are indeed a lot of people in the villa now.

However, when Sonoko hurried back just now, saying that Teacher Yonehara had fainted and telling them to hurry over, apart from Ryuichi Sakai and Kohei Shimoda who were in the room upstairs, only Minori Nakamura and Ran Maori in the kitchen were not with them. In the field of vision.

No one would doubt Mao Lilan, and she ran over as soon as she heard Suzuki Sonoko's voice.

As a result, everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to the three teachers who arrived last.

"Look, look what I do!" Ryuichi Sakai became a little nervous and stumbled, "You don't doubt me, do you?"

"That is to say, and this villa is very big, there might be other people here... By the way, Sugiyama!" Minori Nakamura's lips trembled for a moment, then something suddenly occurred to her, and she raised her voice and said, "Teacher Sugiyama, It should be nearby, maybe, maybe it was him!"

"Yes!" Shimoda Kohei, who had his head lowered, his eyes lit up when he heard these words, and he suddenly raised his head, "It's Sugiyama, it must be Sugiyama! He should be just playing a prank, you don't know him, he just has such a style , Haha, hahaha..."

Everyone present could hear how forced and dry his laughter was.

Everyone's eyes turned to him, and for a moment, the only sound left in the living room was the beeping sound of the burning wood in the fireplace.

"Yes, it must be him, it must be him..." As if to convince himself, Shimoda Kohei repeated it twice more, took a deep breath, and his pale face finally softened slightly, "He likes watching horror movies very much. This environment is so suitable now, he should be playing a prank..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mihara Koko, who was sitting on the sofa and being bandaged, shouted angrily, "It has already reached this level, do you still call this a prank?! If Karasawa-kun hadn't called Sonoko to call someone, the murderer would have If we stay a little longer, our lives will really be in danger!"

"Teacher, teacher, don't move!" Mao Lilan said quickly as she carefully wiped iodophor on her forehead.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Yonehara Koko quickly sat upright and continued to let her wipe the wound on her forehead. At the same time, she glanced at Karasawa, who was lying flat on another sofa with his eyes closed, "Is it okay to just let him lie here? ?”

"As you said, there are still very likely other attackers in the villa, or near the villa. It is safer to stay with everyone." Watching Suzuki Sonoko coming over with a blanket and lying down It's good to have Karasawa there, Toru Amuro said in a nonchalant manner.

Karasawa definitely didn't really fall down due to the attack, and he was still pretending to sleep.

Either he discovered something that was not suitable to tell everyone, or he had some new ideas.

"How come Karasawa hasn't woken up yet? Could it be that he hit something when he fell to the ground?" After covering Karasawa with a blanket, Suzuki Sonoko asked uneasily, "Mr. Yonehara only fainted for a while. He was due to inhalation." Did you take an overdose of medication?"

It only took a moment to turn around, just a minute or two to go back and forth, and Tang Ze fell to the ground unconscious for such a long time. It was really hard for her not to worry.

"Ms. Yonehara may have been traumatized by an external force, so she woke up quickly... In short, Karasawa has no other discomforts. Don't worry too much, Miss Suzuki." Toru Amuro saw her expression and comforted her. road.

The atmosphere in the living room calmed down for a while. The teachers at Aidedo Elementary School all looked unhappy. The impact of the attack on them was obviously not as simple as the "prank" they said.

Looking at the frozen atmosphere in the venue, Akai Hide glanced at Conan, who was holding his chin in deep thought, and changed the topic: "Did the things in the kitchen not turn off the fire? I seemed to hear a 'gurgling' sound?"

"Ah, no, curry!" Nakamura Minori slapped her head, quickly stood up and ran toward the kitchen in a panic.

Because of the commotion outside, Mao Lilan ran out too fast. She chased after him instinctively, completely forgetting about the fire on the stove.

"Ah, by the way, the gas in the kitchen didn't light up before. I'll go over and have a look." Mao Lilan also stood up and followed her towards the kitchen.

"I, I'm going to try it and see how it tastes..." Shimoda Kohei also stood up, found a random excuse, and quickly left the living room.

"Then, I'm going to take a shower first. Why don't you go change clothes and take a rest?" Ryuichi Sakai also stood up and greeted the other people in the living room without embarrassment.

As a few of them left, the people gathered in the living room slowly dispersed, each doing their own thing.

Twenty minutes later, when everyone was evenly distributed throughout the house again, and each went to complete their own tasks, they walked around the second floor and looked down at Toru Amuro, who was in the room where they were attacked, before leaving again. Went back to the living room.

"...Hey, why don't you get up?" Seeing the only people around the fireplace who was fiddling with the firewood and slowly warming the fire, Toru Amuro squeezed out from the corner of his mouth as he sat down next to Karasawa. One sentence.

In order to prevent Tang Ze from continuing to pretend to be dead, when he spoke, his fingers held onto Tang Ze's shirt threateningly. The position clearly indicated that if he dared to refuse to answer, he would use various methods such as tickling. Planting seeds is used as a means to force.

Without saying hello, he suddenly pretended to be unconscious and didn't even leave any hints. This kid is really going to cause trouble for others.

"Someone in the organization is watching over here." A person who knows current affairs is a hero. Although Tang Ze still didn't open his eyes and only moved his lips slightly, he responded quickly, "You should also pay attention to your safety."

"Who?" Toru Amuro narrowed his eyes. Although his movements did not change, he seemed to have suddenly switched modes and his eyes became sharp.

"I'm not sure, but I guess the most likely place is Ireland." Thanks to Amuro's protection, Karasawa squinted his eyes, raised his eyes, scanned them quickly, and quickly closed them again, "There are lenses in the snowy mountains. Reflection. Apart from him, no one else in the organization should have to brave such bad weather to stare at me here."

Generally speaking, the organization would not be idle and find someone to keep an eye on the two of them. After all, from a setting perspective, Bourbon and Kumail were originally meant to monitor and observe each other. In addition, Kumail’s Special disguised identity, forced formation of superior-subordinate relationship.

Add a supervising team to the supervising team, and the boss won't have a headache.

Moreover, although Bourbon is not a confidant who is completely trusted by the organization, after six years, he has established a firm foothold in the organization. Kumail is still theoretically under the dual threat of drugs and criminal evidence from the organization. They all have a certain degree of credibility in terms of organization.

If their identities were leaked, Gin's RPG would have already hit them. If it hadn't been leaked, they wouldn't have braved the weather to hold on to their position.

Then, there are only a limited number of candidates to consider.

"So, there is no attacker in fact, is there?" It only took a short time for Amuro Toru to complete the analysis of the situation that Karasawa encountered. "You discovered the existence of the monitor. Avoid appearing too uncharacteristic of 'Kumail'."

To achieve this effect, Karasawa definitely cannot act without any offensive power, nor can he act too much like a detective. He must give the observer a sense of "taking advantage of the enemy" or "taking advantage of the chess".

Following the attacker's wishes, the performance of the unconscious state after being attacked is contrary to the style of "Kumail" no matter how you think about it.

Simply combining the above conditions, Toru Amuro quickly deduced several possible scenarios and quickly drew a clear conclusion from them.

——Whether or not there is a murderer other than everyone, Yonehara Koko's statement is a lie.

"It's time to eat, everyone!" Minori Nakamura's voice carrying a tray spread along the corridor into the living room, attracting everyone's attention and causing Toru Amuro to turn his suspicious eyes back to Koko Yonehara.

He is slender and tall, with no signs of exercise, but he uses ether to assist in the attack. It is very likely that the attacker himself will not be able to win in a power confrontation.

A primary school teacher is unlikely to have anything to do with the organization. On the contrary, she is the teacher of Mao Lilan and others, and will not be directly related to their identities.

There seems to be discord between her and her fellow travelers...

If there is no problem with his reasoning, this "Sugiyama" who never showed up may be in danger.

"Do I have a share?" Sentoshi raised his eyebrows when he found that there was a space for himself on the long dining table. "I'm really sorry about that, thank you for your hard work. But it's the same thing. What happened three years ago, I It’s not that easy to forget.”

Nakamura Minori, who was holding the dinner plate and placing food on the table, made a move and frowned at him.

"What happened three years ago, uncle?" Relying on his identity as a child, Conan looked at Ryuichi Sakai, who looked not very good-looking, and asked bluntly.

"It's nothing, it's not the place for a child to ask." Ryuichi Sakai casually asked his question, crossed his arms and looked in the direction of Mori Atoshi, "Are you accepting food prepared by others without even saying 'thank you'? ?”

"Jingle Bell--"

"Hey, who's on the phone?"

"It can't be that guy from Sugiyama, right? This bastard made everything into a mess and ran out during the meal..."

"Hey! Sugiyama! It's you! I knew you were in the villa, stop hiding - oh, oh, Mr. Landlady. Oh, yes, the heating? The heating is working normally now..."

Looking at the noisy dining table, Toru Amuro stood up, and before leaving Karasawa who was lying motionless on the sofa, he said in a small voice: "Don't you want to get up to eat?"

Karasawa, Karasawa didn't move, and continued to maintain the position where he was moved to the sofa, as if he didn't hear anything.

As soon as he wakes up, people who know him well will ask him about pretending to be attacked and pretending to be dead.

In that case, Karasawa would have to tell everything about Yonehara Koko's problems, and he would not be able to sit back and watch her kill her next revenge target.

That's so cheap that even elementary school students are killed.

"Forget it, just starve here while smelling the fragrance." Seeing that he was determined to pretend to be dead to the end, Toru Amuro shook his head helplessly and walked to the dining table.

It seems that there must be something wrong with these teachers at Aideto Elementary School, and maybe they have already killed themselves.

In this case, if the monitor can insist on observing this villa from a distance, through the bad weather with such low visibility, then all the tricks played by this group of people will fall into the eyes of the other party.

...If you think about it seriously, in a murder case motivated by grudges, the most powerful witnesses are actually members of the organization. This scene is really strange.

————

There is one thing to say, indeed.

It's really weird that Ireland thinks the same way.

Especially when he was forced to witness with his own eyes the woman in a wig dragging a corpse outside the main door and fixing the completely stiff body with a hideous face in front of the door with string and snowdrifts.

The villa they rented was very large, and most of the rooms had windows facing the front, so Ireland chose to camp at the current observation angle in order to have a better overview of the whole situation.

This was originally a very good choice, but now, he sincerely felt a little regret for his decision.

The people in the villa were not aware of this woman's actions. They continued their activities as usual, bathing when they needed to, tidying up when they needed to, and eating when they needed to eat.

However, Ireland, who was watching from the outside, had to watch the body hanging in a weird posture outside the door, slowly and slowly falling downwards as time went by.

Yes, he has indeed killed people in Ireland, more than one, it was just a murder case, which cannot be ranked among thugs like him.

But when they kill people, they usually don't do any fancy operations. They kill when they need to be killed and blow up when they can. If they have to kill some big shot, sniping and assassination are more efficient options.

If they were good at this kind of thing, Mr. Pisco wouldn't be framed and died so easily...

To sum up, these experiences did not prevent Ireland from looking at the restaurant where the atmosphere was harmonious while eating and chatting, while at the same time looking at the body hanging precariously on the wire outside the door, shaking in the wind and snow, leaning stiffly and slowly.

This is truly a frightening scene to watch, with an indescribable smell of perversion.

Unable to bear it again, Ireland moved his eyes away from the telescope. He rubbed his cold eyes hard, picked up the thermos tremblingly, and took a sip of hot water.

He had reason to suspect that this was not Kumail helping the murderer to deal with the aftermath, but perhaps Kumail directly providing technical guidance to the murderer, or simply this woman was the Ma Zai who killed Kumail.

It is difficult for ordinary people to pervert like this.

Wait a minute. Could it be that Kumail has already discovered him and thinks there is a spy? He is using this scene to test whether anyone who can see this scene will call the police or be scared away...

It’s hard to say that Kumail’s eyesight might not be good enough to spot him now, but he followed and followed him along the way. Even though he acted very carefully, there was still a chance that he might have left a loophole...

Damn, just for this purpose, such a terrifying mechanism was designed. No wonder some people in the organization directly called Kumel the little pervert.

Compared with him, other members of the organization who are just engaged in black industry can be said to be honest and simple!

————

Tang Ze, who was gushing for a moment, endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it in any longer, so he had to rely on the back of the sofa to protect him, quickly buried his head in the armrest of the sofa, and sneezed muffledly.

After sneezing, he immediately returned to the position he had been in the previous second and closed his eyes again.

Well, it shouldn't attract other people's attention...Who is talking bad about him? Could it be Ireland who is freezing to death outside?

The workplace environment of the organization is so bad. You came to spy on me yourself and froze yourself into a fool. You still blame me for cheating you, right?

You have nothing to do, so you choose to work as an underground worker at this time. You have to be careful not to be discovered by them, and at the same time, you have to hide the organization and not let anyone get into trouble.

After all, his investigation work to seek revenge was completed in private, and the organization did not approve of this kind of competition in which colleagues were killed if they couldn't do it.

...Yes, is there a possibility that Gin will become a top killer, and it is inseparable from his style of killing his own people, one shot at a time?

As long as I kill all my colleagues who are targeting me, I will naturally become the most popular person.

Anyway, you brought everything on your own and suffered all your own sins. Why are you scolding me at this time?

Feeling very wronged, Karasawa inhaled the fragrance of rice and the strong smell of curry that spread throughout the living room, and began to complain again about the friends who had brought him to this position.

Although his sin was self-inflicted, by moving him to another place, he could at least eat something secretly.

Please hurry up with the process, he is very hungry and wants to open his eyes to eat as soon as possible.

Soon, whether in response to Karasawa or Ireland's heartfelt prayers, the sound of relief rang out for them.

"Ding dong——"

The shrill doorbell rang throughout the villa.

"Hey, it's already this time..." The people sitting around the dining table turned to look in the direction of the door.

"Sugiyama must be here!" As if he heard the sound of the second shoe hitting the ground, Shimoda Kohei breathed a sigh of relief, stood up actively, and walked towards the door.

"Come on, come on, don't press the button! Really, I've been messed up by you a lot today, Sugiyama!" Shimoda Kohei quickly ran to the door in his slippers, opened the door on one side, and saw the top of his head. Beside the door, the man whose shoulders and head were covered with frost and snow hurriedly pulled him, "Come in quickly, covered in snow, everyone, come and greet our sponsor today... Huh?"

As he stretched out his hand to pull, the already stiff and cold body lost its support point, slowly slid down, and with a ferocious expression of eyes split open, fell heavily into the door.

The thick snow on his body was like blood that was suddenly splashed out. It followed the direction of inertia and smashed into the entrance hall. It spilled out in a long line and even fell in front of the door to greet him. on the feet of several people.

Sugiyama, who had been dead for a long time, just fell down in front of the entrance.

"Ah ah--!!!"
