The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"What the hell is 'Kudo Shinichi of the West'?" Hattori Heiji, who immediately remembered some unpleasant experiences when he saw the other person's face, clenched his fists, "Hey, don't give me weird nicknames!"

"Is there something wrong with what I said?" Xingchuan Hui smiled skillfully and curled his eyes.

Although his acting skills are still not comparable to Karasawa, under the intense pressure from the group leader, Hoshikawa Teru, who was even forced to appear on a variety show for Karasawa, is no longer the rookie who doesn't know how to mobilize his facial muscles when he smiles. .

It is still difficult to deceive the likes of Belmod, but it is more than enough to fool the detectives who are not familiar with Goro Akechi.

Especially when he doesn't need to show any specific reasoning skills - when it comes to attack power alone, he also has his own opinions on the yin and yang.

For example, at this moment, Hattori Heiji, who was standing opposite him, was very angry.

"That's obviously 'Kudo from Kanto, Hattori from Kansai'. It doesn't mean the same thing at all! Can you really be a detective with your memory?" Hattori Heiji clenched his fists and looked at him with concern and curiosity. Fortunately, they didn't say any more unpleasant words.

Goro Akechi, your words are still so ugly! This guy who hangs out in front of the camera all day is indeed not a serious detective.

"It's all the same." Hoshikawa Teru smiled deliberately and looked at his protruding veins for a while, then turned to Karasawa and asked knowingly, "Why do you appear here? This is neither Osaka nor Tokyo. You Has the radiation range expanded to such a wide area?”

"...Isn't this the same problem for me?" The veins on Hattori Heiji's head popped out again. Goro Akechi's pretentious speaking style belongs to the type of person he hates very much. Every time he speaks, it takes a lot of effort from him. With great endurance, "Aren't you from Tokyo? You still said that we were 'stealing business' and so on..."

"Of course I am not. You two, although I am also regarded as a high school detective, I am not a real high school student." In fact, Hoshikawa Teru, who has gone to school more than Karasawa, showed a subtle smile, As he spoke, he stared at Karasawa who looked like it had nothing to do with him, "What about high school detectives and so on... When it comes to you, the focus is on high school students, but in my case, the focus is on famous detectives."

"You kid..." With these two simple words, Hattori Heiji's heart was filled with anger and he clenched his fists again.

Conan next to him touched his neck and felt an inexplicable chill on his back.

For some reason, the other person was clearly looking at Karasawa and Hattori when he spoke, but he always felt like he was referring to him, "Kudo Shinichi" when he said "two people".

"Could it be that you are also investigating the affairs of the Nagato family?" Hoshikawa Teru, who had achieved initial success in talking, turned his head and glanced at Hinata Yuki who was standing there helplessly, "I remember, this The lady should be the president’s secretary of the Nagato Group and the fiancée of the son of the Nagato family?”

"Are you here, investigating the affairs of the Nagato family?" Heiji Hattori was stunned by his words. He immediately forgot his unhappiness and asked directly, "The disappearance case just happened not long ago. Where did you get it?" news?"

"Missing? Who is missing?" Teru Hoshikawa tilted his head and quickly changed his target, staring at Hinata Yuki and looking up and down, "Oh, is it Mr. Nagato Hideomi? Although the situation of the succession of the Nagato family is not optimistic, but It is really regrettable that it has developed so quickly to the point where it directly threatens personal safety."

"Aren't you investigating disappearances?" Conan said after reacting and couldn't help but glance at the thing in Goro Akechi's hand.

His left hand was holding the suitcase with unknown contents, but his right hand was holding a letter with a bouquet pinned on it. It looked the same as what they had been flipping through for a long time.

It was obvious that this guy had also traced the fire back then and had done the same thing as them.

"Of course not. I'm different from you. I'm a hard-working private detective who relies on commissions to make a living. I have to consider my income." At this point, he stopped talking and glanced at Hinata Yuki, whose expression gradually became more subtle. "Well, what happens next is my client's privacy. I forgive my inconvenience to say more."

Seeing that he stopped and continued to explain, Conan glanced at the thing in his hand anxiously.

That was probably the clue they wanted to find nearby. Not only was someone there first, but the other party's attitude was unhurried and they obviously had no intention of cooperating, which would very likely lead to a deadlock in their pursuit.

Seeing that the conversation had stalled and that he had achieved his goal, Karasawa finally raised his head, stopped in front of Hinata Sachi, and whispered: "The situation seems a bit complicated, Miss Hinata. Can you give me a business card? As long as there is news, I will contact you immediately, so please don’t worry. Let the detectives resolve their own conflicts."

Hinata Yuki, who had been working as a secretary for many years, was not an ignorant rookie. He immediately heard the meaning in his words that he wanted to leave first, and understood his intention.

This new young detective seems to be related to other members of the Nagato family, so out of interest, it is inconvenient for them to communicate with her when she is present.

Hinata Yuki quickly took out his business card, and then took out the old pen on his chest, and quickly wrote a series of numbers on the back of the business card.

Tang Ze looked at this extraordinary pen and blinked.

"The business card contains my work email and fax, and I have written my personal number on the back. Please, if you encounter any resistance, please contact me as soon as possible and I will find a solution." Hinata Yuki solemnly put his hands on He handed his contact information to Tangze and said it very sincerely.

Tang Ze took out his mobile phone and pretended to enter the number on the back of the business card into his address book, but in fact he tapped Noah on the table.

The small Q-version robot with a sleepy look shook its head and quickly slipped out along the frame of Tang Ze's mobile phone and disappeared.

"As expected of you, you are still so good at being a good guy... How boring is this?" After sarcastically following the setting arranged by Tang Ze, Xingchuan Hui turned his head, crossed his arms and looked at the two young and old people in front of him. Detective, "Okay, the relevant people have left the scene, and we can discuss the situation as appropriate. What happened to the disappearance?"

Hattori Heiji, who arrived at Nagato Residence earlier, looked over, took a breath to calm down, and began to explain the current situation in a straightforward manner.

Xingchuan Hui pretended to listen attentively, but his peripheral vision always fell on Tang Ze, who was lowering his head and playing with his mobile phone.

Because of Rum's phone call, Tang Ze quickly made a decision and devised a new plan for this grudge between wealthy families that could be said to be simple or complex.

It doesn't matter who solves this case, whether it's a detective or the Phantom Thieves. Except that the parties involved work for a big conglomerate with big names, it is just one of the common cases.

Counting Suzuki Sonoko, the detectives have caused trouble to many wealthy people, including every household.

However, now that some paving work has been done on Rum's side, it is necessary to increase Kumail's role in this incident.

It's best to make a fuss that pays off, so that you can add some new buffs to Bourbon and Kumel.

Promotions and salary increases, access to organizational secrets, interviews with the boss, etc. are just around the corner, but you haven’t taken action yet!

Tangze's identity is not suitable for too much exposure, so Hoshikawa Hui is still busy arranging a new round of heart-changing tasks, hyping some topics such as campus bullying and conflicts between teachers and students. As a result, the next day, Before dawn, the man was dragged out by Tang Ze and numbered.

"So that's it. In fact, my client is very suspicious." Turning back to his eyes, Hoshikawa Teru seemed not to remember what he just said about privacy issues, and said bluntly, "Nagato There is one son and two daughters in this generation of the family. Nagato Mitsuyo is the husband of their second daughter, Nagato Yasue. He gave up his maiden name and joined the Nagato family. Currently, the family inheritance issue is still unresolved. This will have a great impact on the family. Their relationship brings a lot of ramifications.”

"So, who is your client?" Hattori Heiji breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Goro Akechi was still cooperative.

It's good that he can clearly understand the priorities of things and sit down and have a good talk. Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing for him to endure this annoying style of speaking to negotiate with the other party and pry out information.

"My client is the eldest daughter of their family, Nobuko Nagato." After selling the news without any psychological burden, Hoshikawa Teru even had a real smile on his face, "She is the youngest of the three children. The one who feels the most urgent about this issue is that after all, the two siblings are either already married, and the husband has already taken an important position in the group after getting married, or they are about to get married, and the wife has also climbed to the middle and senior levels in the group... She is the oldest, but Unable to use the same method to gain an advantage, we are already one step behind them in the competition.”

This is not a connection created by Teruo Hoshikawa.

He arrived in Yokohama two days earlier than this group of people.

I don’t know how the powerful Karasawa did it, but in short, Goro Akechi made a special trip to Yokohama because he received a commission from Nagato Nobuko.

"Do you think it's reached a point where we can threaten each other's safety over this?" When it comes to the inheritance of the future husband's family, Hinata Yuki definitely cannot say anything without permission, so this is the first time Conan and the others have heard this. information.

"It's hard to say, but the head of the Nagato family has been in poor health for some time. You may have seen him at the Nagato residence." Hoshikawa Teru shrugged and revealed Karasawa's request to him. The information told the truth, "His youngest daughter is already 32 years old. This may not be the most urgent moment... but there must be people who can't wait."

"Then do you think it was Nagato Nobuko who did it?" Hattori Heiji first asked about the member of the Nagato family who Goro Akechi had the most contact with.

"She has this motive, but maybe she doesn't have the courage. And..." Hoshikawa Teru's eyes glanced in the direction of the path Hinata Yuki left, "Her younger brother and sister, Nagato Hideomi, did not continue after high school because of his disfigurement. After going to school and being separated from society for a long time, Nagato Yasue has received a complete business education, but she definitely wants to be a young lady who is inexperienced in the world. Even if she really takes action, it is reasonable to choose Nagato Mitsuo, but compared to Nagato Hideomi..."

"...She is more likely to murder Hinata Yuki, right?" Conan completed what he wanted to express, his eyes still staying on the letter in Akechi Goro's hand.

He is still more willing to believe in the clues he has tracked down than the information the other party actively informed.

"Very smart, this little detective." As soon as he saw Conan's face, Xingchuan Hui felt a reflexive pain in his liver. He raised his eyebrows and snorted softly, and finally handed the things in his hands to them, "My The client hoped that I could find a way to add some leverage to her. Seize the opponent's handle, or destroy their current biggest reliance, which is their marriage. Following the information she provided, I found out about the incident that led to Nagato Hideomi's disfigurement. Fire…”

Regardless of the other person's attitude, Conan stood on tiptoes and pulled the thing out of his hand.

"Be careful, this is of great significance to my client." Thinking of the lady who was mean and difficult to communicate with, but after seeing her own appearance, she became extremely enthusiastic and behaved beyond the bounds. Xingchuan Hui was not very positive. I thought about it.

I really don’t know if it’s because of Karasawa’s acting style or because he made up the joke about himself and the older rich woman’s makeup artist. Hoshikawa Teru always has a sense of being a wise man who can easily attract rich women with evil intentions. Alone When facing Nobuko Nagato, I really felt butterflies in my heart.

So regarding this client's problem, he didn't really want to think about her.

It has to be said that there is indeed a reason why a young lady who is eager to find a high-quality partner and needs a marriage relationship does not even have a marriage partner at this age.

Conan, who had already immersed himself in reading the letter, felt his heart slowly rise.

"This is a letter written by Hidetomi Nagato to Hinata Yuki's parents." He carefully controlled his strength and did not cause any damage to the fragrant letter in his hand, but his knuckles could not help but curl up.

"It is indeed the case." Hattori Heiji nodded without surprise, "After all, he will marry Hinata Yuki soon, and logically, he should come to pay homage to his fiancée's parents."

Especially under the premise that his first encounter with Hinata Sachi happened on the day they were killed.

"This is why I think the person who attacked him was not Ms. Nobuko." Hoshikawa Teru shook his hand, as if he wanted to get rid of the smell on his gloves, "His marriage to Hinata Yuki is very likely. It is impossible to proceed, so naturally he cannot become Nagato Nobuko’s target.”

"Well, you're right." Conan, who had read the entire letter, confirmed his opinion with a heavy heart. "This letter implies a death wish. He cannot face Hinata Sachi and will most likely choose to go to Hinata Sachi before the marriage begins. The other party confessed, even..."

"And he clearly explained the situation back then." Hattori Heiji, who took the letter, also quickly found the point, his brows furrowed and he couldn't open his eyes. "The arsonist of the fire twenty years ago was none other than Nagato Mitsuyo."

————

"Are you crazy?!" Nagato Mitsuomi stretched out his hand and grabbed Nagato Hideomi's collar, his voice was on the edge of breaking, "Do you know what you are doing!"

"You are the one who is crazy, not me!" Nagato Hideomi, whose collar was tightly grabbed by the opponent and whose hands were tied behind his back, stared at the man in front of him through the gap between the bandages with his eyes wide open, " You clearly know what you have done, and you are the culprit! If I really went crazy, I would only regret that I did not go crazy early enough, not thoroughly enough, and could only watch Kang Jiang being deceived by you..."

Nagato Hidetomi, whose arms were tied, had his entire face tightly wrapped in bandages. The white bandages blurred all his facial features, like a blank face with no discernible identity.

There was only a pair of bloodshot eyes, wide open in the eye sockets, and the emotions contained in them were strong and real, as if they could stare right through him.

Being stared at by such eyes, the ups and downs of Nagato Guangming's chest immediately intensified: "That was already twenty years ago! Even Hinata Xing has forgotten those things, and they are no longer relevant. It's your own fault. , you must worry about this kind of thing!"

"What are you talking about? That fire made her an orphan and caused her to lose her last relative! How can this be called insignificant?!" Nagato Hideomi shouted back, just like every time they quarreled, "It's still... So many families, so many people died in the fire...!"

"Don't sound like you're a good person." Nagato Mitsuomi sneered and released his hold on Nagato Hideomi's hand, "Twenty years have passed and you still haven't said or done anything. Really? Even back then, you sat back and watched me light that pile of straw..."

"...This is something I will regret for the rest of my life, so I chose to tell the truth to Yuki at this time." Nagato Hideomi, who was stung by his words, twitched slightly, and the uneven scars under the bandage appeared again. Once there was a severe burning pain, as if the flames from twenty years ago had never left. "Even if you kill me now, it would be the same. It would be better to say that I don't want to live in the first place."

Nagato Guangming gritted his teeth.

Why doesn't he want to do this? He even secretly came up with the plan to kill his sick father-in-law first, put the blame on Nagato Hideomi, and then kill him too.

But Hidetomi Nagato, who had been cowardly and silent all his life, suddenly learned a trick from nowhere, and actually told him that he had set up an automatic email and connected it to the watch that monitors his heart rate. Made the connection.

Because he planned to commit suicide and use his life to atone for Hinata Xingxing, who had been deceived by him for twenty years.

The moment his heart stops beating, the confession letter filled with repentance will be sent to Hinata Sachi's mailbox...

Damn it, this is not the kind of preparation Nagato Hideomi would make. He who stays in his room all day long and writes nonsense things cannot possibly understand electronic devices so well...

Who taught him this!

"Twenty years have passed." The exhausted Nagato Miguel sat down on another chair, took a breath, thought about it, and began to express his feelings and reasons, "Hinata is lucky to be treated so well. She was adopted by a family, and our family also sent her to the best university to complete her studies, and you are also planning to marry her. She can even control part of the power of the Nagato Consortium and become a senior executive of the consortium... You are already compensating her, We are all doing our best to make it up to her.

"Even if you expose me, what can you do? Twenty years have passed since the incident, and I was not found guilty back then. It is even less likely that there is evidence to prove that I set the fire. The place has been dug into a lake! What can your words change? I..."

Before he could finish his tirade, there were several regular knocks on the door.

"Hello, is anyone there? Room service."
