The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Nagato Mitsuomi, Nagato Hideomi." Looking thoughtful, Karasawa repeated the name mentioned in the message, guiding Conan to continue, "Well, the intelligence we collected does not seem to cover this kind of News. What happened to these two names?"

Although this was a case that impressed him deeply, Karasawa was telling the truth. The Phantom Thieves' intelligence scope really did not include them.

He does have a long list in his hand. Basically, whenever he recalls a case, he will record it and try to use the different world navigation to see if there are any lives that can be saved.

Although these cases are all glorious milestones in Mouri Kogoro's life history, Karasawa feels that the aura of a famous detective in him is probably an inherent attribute, and even if a few of them are missing, the impact will not be big.

In comparison, it is more valuable to be able to save some people who are not bad.

Thinking about it, even if he knew that the existence of the Phantom Thieves had reduced the number of murders he encountered, he would only agree with it with both hands and feet.

A few less anesthesia injections will not do any harm to the body.

This random method of running databases cannot guarantee that all cases will be covered - some people just have a good meal, sleep, get up, and discover something, and they become more evil. How could the Phantom Thief predict this - But it did save some people.

For example, Tomaki Shinde, who was supposed to meet Mouri Kogoro and Conan during the case, and his father Yoshiki Shinde, would have died of murder due to emotional entanglements.

Now, he has changed his mind and honestly admitted that his marital infidelity led to the death of his ex-wife. Although the father and son are indeed separated because of this, and Tomaki Shinde has moved out of the house, they are still there at least, right?

Another example is the family tragedy in the Nagato family. Since the murderer only had evil thoughts after he learned the truth and lost his fiancé, he decided to kill him. Of course, he could not gain anything by casting a wide net and changing his mind.

However, if it was Conan himself who suddenly had subjective initiative and intervened before the tragedy happened...

"Do you have any information related to it? Is his statement true?"

"I'm not too sure whether it's true, but I did find some relevant records in my father's files." Taking out his notes, Conan said with certainty, "I used the name he provided as a keyword to search. .The Nagato Hidetomi mentioned here should be the son of Nagato Dozo, the chairman of the Nagato Group. I used his statement as a clue to trace back the cases that may be related to it twenty years ago and made some discoveries. "

This is also thanks to Kudo Yusaku's three-story high study room filled with records... God knows why his father collected such detailed news records.

If it was to collect creative materials, then how much time would he spend every day cutting newspapers from all over Japan...

After feeling amazed in his heart for a moment, Conan showed the newspaper clippings he had taken.

"Twenty years ago, a fire broke out in a family named Yamato. The couple was buried in the flames. Only their only daughter survived and was saved by a passing high school student. The high school student who rescued people was burned in the fire. The wood hit his face, causing partial second-degree burns..." Reciting the news content he had written down, Conan nodded with certainty, "This family is in a residential area not far from Nagato's house, and Nagato Hidetomi seems to have suffered an accidental disfigurement, so he lives in seclusion and rarely appears in front of others."

All of this coincides with his confession in the message.

"Do you infer that the big mistake from twenty years ago mentioned in this message was the fire?" Tangze smiled and tilted his head, "Well, the message from two days ago... Smell You're quite sharp, you're a famous detective."

While speaking, Tangze glanced in the direction of Noah, and not surprisingly saw him shaking his head slightly.

Nowadays, the Phantom Thieves basically take orders on demand. With the booming business of changing their hearts, more and more people have actually undergone various changes after their previews. The reputation of the Phantom Thieves is constantly expanding - take a look Their increasingly deep subway can also confirm this.

However, after Noah took over the website, he would intercept the names in the messages by default and conduct a different world navigation search to prevent such isolated names from slipping through the net.

"Yes, and I think this is the 'old grudge' that may lead to new cases." Taking back his mobile phone, Conan rubbed the yellowed old newspaper on the screen and said with emotion, "If, this fire turns out to be true If it was Nagato Hidetomi who caused the tragedy, but he concealed it, then from the perspective of the victim, the benefactor he had been grateful to for many years was the culprit of the tragedy... In my opinion, this is very likely The trigger that triggers the next tragedy.”

Tang Ze glanced at Conan and couldn't help but give him a high look.

Is this the caliber of a famous detective who has handled many murder cases, let alone watched hundreds of episodes of bloody dramas?

Not only is he very keen on the signs of the case, but he also knows the direction of things very accurately.

"Well, it is possible." Karasawa nodded seriously and raised his chin towards Noah, "Ark, check the opponent's position and verify whether it is one of Nagato Guangming or Nagato Hidetomi."

This must be Conan's purpose for finding them. Tang Ze, who is very good at reading the air, took the initiative to get Noah to take action without waiting for him to ask.

Since Conan himself used a crawler to capture their messages and found out about the fire twenty years ago, he couldn't have come to them just to show off.

After a brief silence, Noah, whose eyes were constantly flowing with data, nodded: "Well, the person who posted the message should be Nagato Hidetomi himself."

Conan was stunned and couldn't help but turn his head and look at Noah, who was staring expressionlessly somewhere in the void.

Although he theoretically knew that Noah's Ark was a strong artificial intelligence that was rampant in the online world, and coupled with the Phantom Thieves' already god-like positioning technology, determining a person's information in the online world was like picking up something, but he really saw it once This kind of efficiency is still surprising.

"Position?" Tangze, who was not shocked by such basic operations, continued to ask, while giving Noah a wink.

This is a rare opportunity, why don't you show off some stunts to shock this little detective?

Noah's Ark, who understood, quickly simulated a translucent map in mid-air, and quickly zoomed in on the map, marking a location.

"Yokohama City, the residence of the Nagato family." A red dot representing the location flashed on the map. After completing this series of operations, Noah reported the location with his head held high.

Karasawa touched his chin and said with a serious look: "Yokohama, that's right. After all, it is the Nagato family that is on par with the Suzuki family. They are mainly engaged in the shipping trade, so they will indeed take root in the port city. …Check out their connections, our little detective could use a little help.”

"Wait a moment, the inquiry is in progress... um... ah, you can ask that black man for help." It only took a few minutes for Noah to quickly give the answer.

Tang Ze, who knew exactly who he was talking about, thought about it for a moment, and then said, "Which black guy?"

There is more than one dark-looking person in his coop alone.

Noah, who reacted for a few seconds, couldn't help but choked: "Ah, uh, that's the black-skinned boy..."

Thinking of the scene when Amuro Toru and Hattori Heiji met, Karasawa was immorally amused for a moment before continuing: "Oh, Hattori Heiji. Is there any connection between their family and the Hattori family?"

Noah, whose thoughts were interrupted for a moment, glanced at him resentfully, but continued to answer dutifully: "Well, the Nagato family has a lot of contact with the Osaka Police Headquarters, Hattori Heizo, and he should be able to introduce him on his behalf. Meet Nagato Hideomi himself.”

Conan, who was unable to get a word in between the two of them, said: "..."

"Is this how you usually determine your targets?" Conan, who had never seen high technology, didn't understand, but was shocked. "I spent a whole night just screening case records..."

"Well, this is the advantage of paperless office and intelligent database. So, which organization needs Noah? I have heard of your father's library. It has been collecting various cases over the years. Materials, your father is a dedicated writer. However, if he can use the power of technology more like us, it will naturally be more efficient."

This is nonsense meant to deceive children into not understanding technology.

Tang Ze, who used a lot of unscientific means to achieve this outrageous effect, was making nonsense without any intention of blushing.

Of course, it is impossible for a normal database to complete this method. Let's not talk about Noah's metaphysical power. Due to the birth of the mind, Noah directly jumped over the most difficult part of artificial intelligence to understand the world and understand the world.

Of course, a normal computer cannot do this, otherwise Google's verification code would not be such a troublesome pattern recognition.

Conan thought blankly for a while and began to imagine the possibility of digitizing his father's library.

Indeed, it makes sense. Nowadays, all kinds of news can be found on the Internet. Continuing to use newspaper clippings foolishly is indeed delaying things.

Well, I wonder if I can borrow Noah's Ark from Joker and help them input the data...

It happened to be right next door, which saved him from having to fight.

Not knowing that he was playing into the hands of the joker who was preparing to use the detective database for free, Conan secretly made a plan to ask his neighbors when this matter was over.

"Thank you for the information, please wait for my good news." Conan nodded, and after receiving more information than expected, he thought about it and said with some hesitation, "The program the doctor did is quite useful. We’ll continue to use it to crawl your website information, is that okay?”

Although it was an anonymous website, they were taking things without telling them. Conan, who was somewhat embarrassed, felt that he still needed to seek the official opinion of the website.

"Pfft..." Noah, who was standing next to him, laughed and straightened the beret on his head, "You don't think that anyone can browse our website as much as they want, do you? The interface you use is specially opened by the leader. You underestimate my protective capabilities."

"That's right, you can even locate normal users so accurately..." After patting his forehead, Conan suddenly came over, "Then, thank you."

"What you did is very correct. It has the same goal as ours. It can also make up for our omissions. Why not do it." Tang Ze said with a very generous gesture.

Compared with him working tirelessly here to improve the security of the world of Kexue, the protagonist of the world has a huge motivation to change, and his role must be stronger than them.

Of course Tang Ze is happy to see the results.

If this was not so blatant, he would even dare to open a sub-section for detectives to take orders on the website, directly opening the door to detectives.

The detective, whose temporary idea had been supported, touched his head and felt a little happy. He looked at Noah, who was still waiting beside him, and said, "I just want to talk to you about this time. Well, since you still have something to do." You are busy, so I won’t disturb you for now?”

Karasawa stood up, handed the folded book and the list of selected next goals to Noah, and picked up the coat on the back of the sofa in a decent manner: "You're all here, Nagato's family In Yokohama City, you can't rush here for a while, so why not play for a while, just in time, I have something I want you to see."

"Something for me to see?"

"Don't worry, I'm definitely not scared this time." Looking at the carriage parked downstairs, Tang Ze smiled.

It just so happened that the Nagato family's case was involved this time, so it was really a good time.

————

Although he didn't understand where Joker's inexplicable sense of ritual came from, Conan still didn't directly ask the rude question "Can't you just open a portal and go there directly?", and followed Joker honestly, who was wearing a snow-white dress, and boarded the carriage. .

When he sees Joker on weekdays, that is to say, when he is not wearing the Kaitou outfit, he usually wears street-style fashionable clothes. At first glance, he is really uncomfortable seeing Joker dressed up like this.

Especially since Kidd is usually the one wearing white clothes. When he saw Joker's outfit today, if he hadn't clearly understood that this was a game world, Kidd wouldn't have been able to sneak in and disguise himself. He would have thought it was a disguise.

Taking into account the strange self-logic of the Phantom Thieves, Conan got off the carriage and saw a very familiar theater. Conan could only think, "It's true."

Dressing so solemnly, he must be going to some formal occasion, that's what the Phantom Thieves are like.

In the familiar theater, there were no guests gathered in the game at that time, with fragrant clothes and shadows on their temples. In the dark theater, only the lights on the stage were lit alone.

Conan's eyes naturally turned to the theater stage.

The actress, wearing a gorgeous and complicated floor-length dress, stood quietly on the stage with her back to the audience.

The melodious piano sound echoed in the theater. At the edge of the spotlight, a performer in a tuxedo was sitting in front of the piano, and his fingers wearing white gloves moved with ease on the black and white keys.

According to Conan's understanding, the actress who will appear in the theater in this place is probably Irene Adler again.

Is there any need for him to see this... I've seen it twice already.

Conan, who was laughing dumbly, was about to take the initiative to turn around and ask joker, but his expression froze and he slowly came to his senses.

Ah, yes, since Noah's Ark did not replace the Holmes and Watson established in the original game, then, this Irene Adler...

Also, the piano player...

Conan, who realized what was before him, could no longer maintain his leisurely pace.

He walked faster and faster, more and more urgently, and by the time he crossed the middle of the theater and went to the front of the stage, he was almost running in the venue.

The woman who always had her back to the audience turned her head when he stepped closer and closer.

"Don't run in the theater, there are a lot of steps, be careful where you step." Reaching out and taking off the mask on her face, Miyano Akemi looked at Conan with bright eyes and smiled gently.

"Miss Masami, and, and..." Conan, who ran to the stage, was excited, panting and looking at the person who was still playing, "Mr. Aso, is that you?"

After pressing the last few scales, Asai Narumi took back his hand, turned around, looked at Conan's expression of joy and unspeakable disappointment, and curled his eyes: "Just call me Asai."

"It's you, you guys, are you all okay?" After the surprise, Conan, who didn't know where to start for a while, stammered, "Although Joker sent me your photos... so, You are now, uh, I didn’t mean that..."

Conan almost asked reflexively, knowing that their whereabouts must be the biggest secret, he immediately stopped talking.

It was true that he received the photo taken from Joker as if he was safe, but since Masami Hirota disappeared, Joker said more than once that she was alive and well, but maybe they would never see each other again.

He was prepared for the person to be sent overseas by the joker, or hidden in some nook and corner and had his name changed. He could only silently bless him in his heart, but he never expected that there would be a moment like this for him to meet...

"I understand. Thank you, little detective. I have also heard about Shiho. Anyway, thank you for taking care of her." Miyano Akemi looked at him hurriedly climbing onto the stage, showing a bright smile. , "Just call me Mingmei."

This was certainly not the first time she had seen him since the accident.

As Joker's team members and Karasawa's most important supporters, they often appear around Karasawa. This Karasawa's neighbor in every sense of the word is, of course, a frequent encounter.

But it was still a very novel experience to appear in front of Conan with his true self without any pretense, and to be able to use his own identity to sit down and chat with the detective who had tried his best to reach out to him.

She originally thought that before the organization was truly destroyed and before Tangze was completely safe, this would be an impossible scene.

"I also need to thank you. Although, it seems that I am just adding unnecessary trouble to you." Asai Naomi, who was sitting on the piano bench, also showed a gentle smile.

"What a touching scene." Hoshikawa Teru poked his head out from behind the pillars of the theater, glanced secretly at the brightly lit stage, and approached Tang Ze who was standing behind the auditorium without taking a step forward, saying with She nudged him with her elbow, "Why don't you go up and have a happy reunion together?"

"...No." He tilted his head, golden light slipped through his eyes, and Tang Ze couldn't help but smile, "That's enough."

Like this, it is enough to watch the fate that has been changed by you, watch the wonderful moment when they meet and embrace each other, and tell him that his trip is not in vain.
