The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"...Isn't it over yet?" Putting down the test tube in his hand, Haiyuan Ai glanced at the direction of the door and sighed softly, "I don't know if it was right or wrong to replace the door with an electronic lock after listening to Tang Ze."

There was silence in the laboratory, and the only answer to her was the regular ticking sound from the machine.

After ruffling his fluffy hair, Hui Yuan Ai opened his mouth, wanting to say something more to reveal the other party's identity. He glanced at the electronic eye in the corner of the laboratory with concern, and pursed his lips again.

She should have figured it out a long time ago. When she saw that video that was absolutely impossible to appear, but actually saw Akira Karasawa and "Akechi Goro" standing in front of her at the same time, that vague sense of disobedience was in her heart. Lingering.

No matter how clean she was about leaving the past behind, or how Tang Ze and her sister regarded her as an ordinary girl, she had lived in the organization as Shirley for more than ten years and was by no means some innocent little girl. Girls are not so easy to be deceived.

After being unable to regain contact with her sister and discovering her sister's last letter, she fell into a world-shattering despair, with pain and struggle constantly tearing her apart.

Half of her told herself that it might not be a bad thing to believe lies and fall into the false promises woven by the organization. However, the other half of her kept whining in her heart and kept repeating to herself——

A lie is a lie. Taking analgesics can only numb the senses temporarily, and the wound will not heal on its own.

When she tried her best to gain access to more internal information and saw Tang Zezhao's death scene with her own eyes, she couldn't believe it and spent a lot of time trying to prove that the video was false.

She really couldn't accept that the child that her uncle and aunt had paid the price of their lives to protect died like this in an unknown corner, and died in such a humiliating and desperate way.

The result, of course, is positive.

The organization must have spent a lot of energy verifying the authenticity, so she once again gave up her fantasy, accepted the fact that Tang Zezhao had been harmed by the organization, and was ready to do her best to protect the bottom line.

Of course, what happened later changed the style of the story in another direction...but this does not affect the suspiciousness of the video.

Karasawa is intact, Hoshikawa Teru is also intact, so where did that video come from?

As the only orthodox scholar of cognitive mythology left in the world, she had some guesses. Later, after the incident in Pisco, this was confirmed from the side.

When she woke up, what she saw was clearly Karasawa and Hoshikawa Teru who came to rescue her. Why did that guy tell her with certainty that when she met Kudo again, it was Joker who ran to the hotel and took her out at a risk? What's up?

What’s even more outrageous is that brooch, my uncle’s brooch…

This group of people refused to tell her and also refused to lie to her. It was really too much!

Thinking of this, Haiyuan felt sad and angry in his heart, and grew evil at the edge of his heart. He clenched his fists and said, "Noah, isn't it you? Let me out quickly. It's getting late. I should go cook!" Otherwise, the doctor won’t even remember to eat on time!”

The silence in the laboratory lasted for a few more seconds. Just when she wanted to say a few more words to express her firm position, a crisp voice finally sounded.

"Actually, it's the same thing if I don't switch to an electronic lock. Even if it's an ordinary lock, I can absorb the lock core to prevent it from turning."

A voice with a hint of electronic synthesized sound came over. Haihara Ai looked around and finally saw the source of the sound.

She looked at the smart food processor on the table on the other side of the laboratory speechlessly: "Who brought the bread machine and cooking pot in? You can't eat in the laboratory!"

"It's not me anyway. I don't need to eat! Go ahead and scold Xingchuan. He must have moved it here after he found out that there were no sockets in the restaurant. That guy is secretly learning to cook, and his cooking is terrible." The small screen of the food processor On the top, the pixelated Noah shook his head, "You don't have any other speakers in the lab, so just make do with it. Anyway, this villa is completely under my control, and it doesn't make much difference whether it's electronic or not."

Staring at Noah's Ark on the small screen, Haiyuan Ai was speechless for a moment. He wanted to ask something. He glanced in the direction of the door, hesitated for a moment, and what he said changed to something else: "So, Whatever happened outside, has it been resolved? Can I go out?"

"It'll be fine soon." Noah on the screen made a "^_^" smile and replied, "Just bear with it, talking too much is an inevitable problem for detectives. Waiting for another five minutes will be boring. If so, can I play a song for you?"

"Forget it." Haiyuan, who didn't really want to hear the cooking pot singing to him, lamented, "Have you done any software upgrades recently? The program in the lab runs faster."

"Yes, I have my own room, and they are setting up a server unit for me. I can take you to my room next time." Noah, who was very happy that someone noticed this, smiled again, "Your research There seems to be some progress.”

"Well, thanks to the sample my sister brought me. Although I am still far away from making a real 'antidote', I have basically understood what happened to Kudo last time. The short-acting antidote can complete the experiment." The preparation is ready in the laboratory." When talking about his experiment, Haiyuan Ai's expression relaxed and he straightened his hair, "I saw the newly arrived machine. I can make a few pills to try out later."

"Don't test the medicine on yourself. Tang Ze will be angry. If you need a white mouse, I can buy it for you. If you need other experimental animals, Tang Ze will also find a solution."

"I definitely know the basic common sense of pharmaceuticals. However, as for the mice, can they be sent to the doctor? Otherwise, if the medicine is suddenly taken out, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion."

"As for Dr. Ali, that old man, I think he is very nervous and can't react."

"Although the possibility you said is very high, let's go through the process..."

After chatting for a while, there was finally a slight click from the direction of the door, and the closed laboratory door was unlocked.

"Okay, it's no problem." Noah waved to Haihara Ai, "We've come to this point. If you have any questions, you might as well ask Tang Ze or Sister Mingmei directly."

Although Noah is a free electronic ghost, it is very simple to communicate with others, but it is still too troublesome to talk to people outside the group.

If Haibara Ai is willing to tell them clearly, there is no reason not to give her a copy of communication software that can be obtained by non-staff idlers like Kidd.

"I..." Hesitantly glanced out the door, Haiyuan Ai thought for a while, pinched the rubber gloves uneasily, thought for a moment, and then shook his head.

At this point, they didn't take the initiative to tell her anything, so it would be better for her to pretend not to know and wait for them to show off...

"It's getting late, I'll go back and cook first." She lowered her head in escape, walked out of the isolation door, quickly changed her clothes, pushed open the heavy door and slipped out on tiptoe.

"What a strange and awkward guy." After Haihara Ai's back disappeared around the corner, Noah in the form of a rag doll slowly floated out from the other end of the corridor, tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Everyone already knows about me. Since it exists, isn’t everyone’s identity already revealed? I don’t understand.”

"If I have to say it, it seems that Karasawa and Sister Akemi are pretty much the same... They are indeed a family." Holding a coffee cup and kicking on his slippers, Hoshikawa Teru yawned while holding Noah's cell phone in one hand. , followed behind him and turned around, "I guess they will have to struggle for a while, let them do whatever they want. Let's go, don't you want to take away the helmet in the machine room?"

"Really, leader, you are just pretending to wear a helmet to trick that silly boy, why do you have to put it in my room..."

"If you put it in the computer room, it would be more decent. If you just pick an empty room, it wouldn't feel like science fiction."

"It sounds like the last time I put people in a Japanese room, it was very suitable for science fiction... Oh, by the way, you were the one who put the pot in the laboratory!"

"Huh? Why do I go to the laboratory when I have nothing to do?"

"No way, no one else is using that food processor lately! Sister Akemi and Karasawa don't need that for cooking!"

"There are only so many people in total, who else can do it..."

"Ah? He's so good. Why would he use that all of a sudden? He even hid it in the laboratory..."

"Maybe it's because when I took it out last time, Tangze looked at it like it was garbage and said to take it away quickly."

"That shouldn't be placed in the laboratory."

"Don't worry about that, speed up. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the boss may have to follow that kid to Yokohama again. Hey, I'm so busy..."

————

Conan, who didn't know what kind of conversation was taking place behind him, walked towards the Fourth Chome, still feeling uncertain because of the unreality just now.

Everything that happened today was so unreal.

Not only did he enter the holographic game that he had not seen for a long time and thought he would never see it again in this life, but he once again saw the charming Sherlock Holmes world, and he was accompanied by friends who also thought it would be rare to see him again in this life. , traveled around London in the game.

Moreover, although he may have thought it was too strange to be with an older version of Kudo Shinichi, and Noah's Ark refused to let him see Sherlock Holmes even to death, he still got a chance to visit No. 221B. permissions.

No matter how Noah's Ark was made, or the person who originally designed the game was a paranoid Sherlock Holmes fan, without his life and urgent tasks to worry about, he turned around in the long-fascinated study like a treasure hunt. After flipping through it, I found many traces that corresponded one-to-one with the original work.

This kind of joy of finding Easter eggs for fans of the original novel is really addictive. By the time he came back to his senses after finishing his rant, he had been in the game for three hours and was ruthlessly kicked off the line by joker.

By the way, Irene Adler's photo has also been included in Holmes' desk. In terms of setting, the current game world has already passed the time of Scandal in Bohemia.

I don’t know if they will continue to produce game scripts related to Sherlock Holmes, but I really want to see what other stories look like...

Otherwise, please mention it to joker again! Sherlock Holmes is really a good subject. Since they don’t plan to give up running this game and are going to use it to create some reality shows about changing their minds, then they shouldn’t give up!

What a fitting subject for Sherlock Holmes! Complex puzzles, changing human nature, and very diverse stages, not just in one location in London...

Conan did not realize that his thoughts had turned into some more dangerous logic, and had already begun to seriously think about how to persuade the Phantom Thieves to make a program according to his own preferences. In this contemplation, Conan walked back to the Fourth Chome with the help of muscle memory. detective agency.

Taking advantage of the gap between the few guests, Toru Amuro, who was talking to Karasawa, instinctively turned his head and chased this strange elementary school student twice with his eyes, looking at him with a thoughtful look on his face and an inexplicable dreamy expression on his face. Walk past the floor-to-ceiling windows of the cafe and walk toward the stairs.

Twenty minutes after Tang Ze came back, this kid came back.

Inexplicably, although the two of them had not had any communication, Toru Amuro also had a feeling that they might not be acting together again today.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Amuro talking mid-sentence, suddenly turning his head to stare at Conan passing by, Karasawa asked innocently while chewing the pasta in his mouth.

It's not surprising that a keen undercover agent will find something fishy about Conan - if Shuichi Akai accidentally loses his horse here one day, he won't be surprised. At most, he will be confused about which side he should catch first.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve done too many tricks, and the wind blows my way. The reason why Toru Amuro’s originally peaceful undercover life was turned upside down by him is because he always feels that Toru Amuro’s alert threshold has been adjusted to an unusually low level, and any slightest disturbance will happen. It will disturb him.

If you think about it carefully, it is not easy.

The undercover agents who originally needed triple face had to repeatedly increase their acting requirements because of Karasawa's presence, and Karasawa's phantom thief side further aggravated their work needs.

The Phantom Thieves, who were entangled with the organization, successfully blocked Fangtani Rei's attention due to their activity and crucial special technical problems, which in turn added another weight to his heavy work pressure.

He would become so restless, and it seemed that he was solely responsible for noticing the problem of the elementary school student upstairs so early.

After briefly reflecting for a few seconds, Karasawa cleared his throat and continued the topic: "The Irish side hasn't sent our intelligence to the organization yet, has it?"

"Of course he can't pass the news back." Toru Amuro, whose attention was drawn back, looked at Karasawa who looked normal, reluctantly put aside his doubts, and continued, "That would expose the fact that he was secretly investigating our identity. .Whether it’s you or me, our identities are kept highly confidential by the organization—especially the identity of ‘Tang Zezhao’.”

"So, it's not a big threat, right? I think his main target is Gin. It's not me who actually kills people." Tangze, who was also shot while lying down, made an innocent voice.

One thing to say, in the case of Pisco, although the character played by Goro Akechi seems to be very uneasy and well-intentioned. They know that people will die and secretly squeeze out the remaining value, which is somewhat damaging, but Karasawa does have a clear conscience. .

The mission was carried out by Pisco himself, and it was no one’s fault if he performed the split. It was Gin who killed the man, and the order was given by the boss.

Although Karasawa did have a stake in it, and it was necessary for him to protect the secret that Miyano Shiho had become Haibara Ai, but because he believed that Kenzo Masayama was bound to die, he did not do anything extra in this matter. Kudo Shinichi got another handkerchief for Pisco.

Not to mention the aftermath.

"One thing to say is that if Kumail hadn't taken over this matter, several members of Kenzo Masayama's family would have died. He had stayed in the organization for too long and was too deeply involved. How could he have escaped unscathed." Picking up a shrimp, Tang Ze pinched the glistening shrimp meat with the tip of his chopsticks and said twice, "On the surface, I wiped out his family and handed them over to the police. In fact, I actually protected him." All his relatives. It would be unreasonable for Ireland not to kowtow to one of them."

This matter really could only have been done by Tangze. If it hadn't been for Tangze, Kenzo Masama's family would have suffered heavy casualties.

Even Toru Amuro, who knew everything about it due to Karasawa's report, had no room to interfere in this matter because Bourbon was unlikely to be involved in the chain.

"His goal must be to cause trouble for Gin first, but as long as he has the opportunity to disgust us, he will not let it go." Toru Amuro shrugged and did not refute Karasawa's statement. He just said, "He There is no need to expose the spying on us to the organization, just as if he found out your identity, it was not revealed by the organization on its own initiative. Spreading some rumors and spreading some specious news is enough to threaten the intelligence personnel of organizations like ours. "

"He went to the organization to say bad things about us?" Tangze pierced the shrimp meat with the tip of his chopsticks and rolled his eyelids, "How long has it been... Only when it creates chaos can the organization feel so efficient?" .”

"Not only did he say it, but it also reached Rum's ears." Toru Amuro also rolled his eyelids, obviously also speechless by Ireland's hand, "Rum has been paying attention to my situation. He seems to be in harmony with Tun. Hayato Kuchi is similar. He has grown up in the organization. He has always been wary of 'outsiders' like me. His accountability is faster than I thought. I have to thank your classmate named Suzuki. "

Although, even without Suzuki Sonoko's magic touch, he still has a way to deal with Rum's suspicion. After all, if the organization controls the heaven and the earth, can the organization control its subordinates from doing bad things? But Ireland's goal has been partially achieved.

It didn't do any real harm to him, but it did disgust him.

Tangze rolled his eyes, thinking of this inexplicably connected logical chain, and couldn't help but suggest immorally: "This is actually a very good idea, and it can also find a good reason for us to open a special detective agency. In this way, we can then The current situation needs some packaging..."

Although this thought is a bit slanderous to Mr. Yonehara Koko, no one will be substantially harmed anyway, so why not just borrow it and use it?

Are you writing PPT to fool your boss? It’s a matter of course. This is the charm of language!
