The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Ms. Hinata, it's me."

Hearing the voice of the young man Qing Yue on the other end of the phone, Hinata Sachi immediately stood up straight and asked impatiently: "Have you discovered anything new?"

As time goes by, the longer we wait for no news, the slimmer our hope becomes. She knew she couldn't do anything, but she didn't want to go back to Nagato's house. More and more policemen gathered at the house. Their serious faces and heavy voices were like a countdown pressed into her ears, telling her that the situation was unfolding. getting more serious.

Thinking of the solemn and confident expressions of those young people, she felt inexplicably calmer.

"We may have found the whereabouts of Mr. Nagato Hidetomi." Just when her heart was high, she heard Karasawa's voice saying, "But the situation may not be optimistic."

"...What did you find?" Hinata Xing asked softly, hearing his trembling voice.

"this……"

The slightly hesitant voice from the other side made her close her eyes hard, collect her emotions, and said calmly: "If you have anything to say, just tell me. I'm already prepared for the worst."

Before the next words, what reached her ears was a sigh.

"We found the bouquet placed by Mr. Nagato Hideomi on the lake shore, and concluded that he should have been to the lake before noon. Along with it, there were some traces of suspected blood... We have notified the police to collect blood Testing, but..."

From his cautious attitude, as if he was talking to the patient's family, Hinata Sachi had already heard a lot of meaning.

She breathed hard and tried to catch her breath. After a few seconds of silence, she reluctantly asked: "Where is Mr. Guangming? Is there any news about finding him?"

"Let me tell you."

After a brief silence, a different person spoke on the other side of the phone. Seemingly seeing that Tang Ze was unable to speak directly, he answered the phone directly.

This was an unfamiliar voice, and the voice was slightly distorted after being converted by radio waves. But from his distinctive tone, Hinata Sachi judged that it was the detective hired by Miss Nobuko.

"Although there is no conclusive evidence at present, I believe that it was Nagato Mitsuomi who attacked Mr. Nagato Hidetomi." This time, the person on the other side spoke much more directly. He pronounced ruthlessly, "This is very difficult for us. Explain to the police, but I think we still need to communicate with you. I think he will not attack Mr. Hidetomi for no reason, so please be sure to pay attention to the safety of Mr. Nagato Douzan."

As he narrated in a calm tone, Hinata Sachi felt the sounds in her ears getting farther and farther away. When she really calmed down, there was only a rapid busy tone in the hung up call.

"Hideomi..." Sitting on the bench, Hinata Sachi covered her face, calling her lover's name in fear and sadness, her sweaty hands feeling cold.

She didn't know how long she had been curled up. What woke her up from the turbulent emotions was a subtle and pleasant ringtone.

Hinata Sachi immediately raised his head.

This is the notification tone she set for Nagato Hideomi.

Her lover had little contact with the outside world due to his physical disability. He was always focused on writing and would inevitably have sensitive moments. She was always worried, so she set a special notification sound for him, for fear that he would miss some news and not be able to make it in time. Soothe the other person's mood.

Her heart was lifted high, and with the last glimmer of hope, she clicked on the newly received prompt.

The first line of words she read made her burst into tears that she had tried hard to hold back.

"To my beloved Akira,

When you received this letter, my heart had stopped beating...Whether you discovered this or not, take my share and live well.

I think I am not qualified to marry you. In order to make up for the sins I committed..."

————

"It's just a phone call, but you have to do something like this, is it interesting?" Standing aside, watching Tang Ze finish his one-man show on the phone, only changing the hand holding the phone in the middle, Xingchuan Hui was speechless for a while.

Fortunately, no one else could see this except Nagato Miguel, who was lying on the ground. Otherwise, even those who knew that Karasawa's identity was fishy would have to say that he was schizophrenic.

"This will be more convincing and make it easier to explain the design later." Tang Ze, who was still dressed wisely, smiled and put down the phone next to his ear, "Noah, can you hear me? How is the situation?"

"You guessed it right. As soon as the email was sent, the navigation responded quickly. Hinata Yuki is born in the palace." There was no one else around, and Noah poked his head out of the screen without any scruples, "However, If I take Nagato Guangming away like this, won't they become suspicious? He disappeared without a trace."

Reaching out and pulling out the rag doll that was sticking out of the screen like Sadako, Karasawa looked down at Nagato Miguel, whose mouth was crooked and his eyes were squinting, twitching reflexively because of the pain.

"Hattori can kick off the security door with one kick. It's quite reasonable for me, a detective, to carry an eight-foot-old man and sneak away like flying, right?" While complaining like this, Karasawa actually bent down like a He carried the unconscious Nagato Guangming on his shoulders like a sack, "Let's go, Noah, open the door."

"What about the key words? Do you have a clue?" Noah said "Eh" as he held the wire in his hand.

"I had some conversations with Hinata Yuki on the way out of Nagato's house," Karasawa said without hesitation, remembering the conversation that had happened earlier, "The location is Nagato's house, and the destination is Abi Hell."

There were so many conversations with Hinata Yuki, not that Karasawa was deliberately trying to gather information - of course, Karasawa, who imagined that she would create a palace or a shadow, did mean to insinuate the other party's ideas - mainly Hattori Heiji and Conan had no time to care, he couldn't make the atmosphere too embarrassing.

There was no way, the case was hanging in front of them, and the two detectives focused more on the mysterious disappearance of the two people. Tang Ze had to fully play the role of the public officer and comfort the families of the victims.

Through this conversation, Karasawa somewhat understood where some of Nagato Hideomi's pessimistic thoughts came from.

First of all, Hinata Yuki is a woman who is very capable of action, has a tough character, and has strong principles.

She suffered an accident when she was young and grew up as an orphan. Today she is able to hold a position as president and secretary, which shows her strong inner strength.

She is a person who was tempered by a tragic fate. She is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. She knows how to take care of others and is well-versed in the world. It is almost inevitable that someone with a personality like Nagato Hideomi will be attracted to her.

Secondly, although the fire happened twenty years ago, its imprint has always been deeply imprinted on Hinata Yuki.

She was a little afraid of flames and would have nightmares from time to time. She carried her father's relics with her for a moment, but Nagato Hideomi, the existence that could give her comfort, was inseparable from the flames.

It is not surprising that Nagato Hidetomi, who is deeply aware of this, would choose such an extreme way of dealing with the situation due to his pessimism and inner tornness driven by his personality.

"...It's true." Noah's eyes widened as he watched the different world navigation start up with his voice, "Your guess is too accurate. We only chatted for half an hour. Is it really so magical? "

"It's not that I'm miraculous, it's that Hinata Yuki is indeed a person with this kind of personality." Shaking his head, Karasawa felt deeply in his heart.

This is another brainy murderer with an outstanding personality and strong execution ability.

No wonder in the original plot line, not long after Nagato Hidetomi committed suicide, she found Nagato Mitsuaki, calmly proposed a plan to assist him in killing Nagato Dozo, and then climbed up the stairs with great satisfaction, preparing to When the plan that I thought was perfect was completed, I reached out and pushed.

I have to say, he is a ruthless character.

There are so many talented people in the criminal world of Ke Xue, so what is the organization's human resources department doing for a living?

Tangze, who had finished complaining in his mind, turned his head and glanced at Hoshikawa Teru, who took a step back: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Follow up."

"Should I go too?" Xingchuan Hui said unexpectedly, pointing to himself.

Karasawa left with Nagato Miguel as a wise man, and then he stayed to fool the two detectives who found that everyone was missing when they came back. This was Karasawa's usual method.

After working as a disguised stand-in tool for a long time, Xingchuan Hui has become accustomed to this state.

It's hard to get used to it. He needs to be busy in his daily life. In addition to the Phantom Thieves, he uses different identities to fill the vacancies in Karaze's multi-faceted life. Even a person with ordinary abilities will be useless under such high-intensity training. There will be growth.

Like him, although his acting skills still can't keep up with Karasawa's rhythm, he is already very skilled in switching between two identities. It is true that he hasn't learned to disguise yet, but he just disguises himself as Karasawa, with the help of the props left by Karasawa Getting off is just as easy.

Nothing but familiarity.

"Don't worry about those two detectives. I have informed them of part of the plan and also told them not to let Nagato Hideomi come into contact with Hinata Yuki for the time being. There is no need for you to stay here." After starting the different world navigation, Tang Ze took the initiative to move forward and stepped into the cognitive world, "You can go to Hinata Yuki's place and observe her situation."

"Well, but I'm also very bad at comforting people..."

"I don't expect you to comfort others, don't laugh, don't talk, just sit there and keep company, okay?"

"...Then why do you insist on me going?"

"After all, right? Someone has to help deliver the notice. Oh, if you really have nothing to do, you can help me write my homework. I haven't done a word for several days. I'm so bored."

"..."

————

"Why don't I feel very surprised?" Looking at the empty room in front of him, Conan's expression was very numb, "Is that guy Akechi really telling us the truth?"

They were asked to stabilize Nagato Hidetomi and not return to Nagato's house first. Only in this way could they fool Nagato Miguel and make him think that he had not been exposed yet and that there was still room for mediation...

It doesn't sound like he wants to do good things.

"Isn't he always like this? He talks strangely and acts mysteriously. He likes to act like he has wisdom and everything is under his control...especially when he is in front of the camera." Thinking of that paragraph on the Internet Hattori Heiji's mouth twitched for a while when the murder mystery live broadcast on the TV station was widely circulated.

We have already figured out the matter, the motive of the method, the evidence and evidence, everything is ready, but we still have to do such a live broadcast on the evening news time...

Why did the station use a camera to explain to the police? The TV station people thought this was a good exposure point and broadcast the entire content. He didn't believe a word of it!

Akechi Goro is not a kid like Kudo. Due to his physical condition, it is impossible to stand in front of the stage, so he can only use techniques such as cameras to hold Mouri Kogoro in front. If he discovers anything, wouldn't he just tell the police?

This time, if you want to say that he is not doing it to be cool or to gain limelight in front of the camera, Hattori Heiji will not believe a word of it.

Just take a look at how far Akechi Goro's popularity has risen on the Internet after this incident.

Not to mention that not long after, Japan Detective Agency took the opportunity to promote, saying that it had invited Akechi Goro to be a long-term flying guest, directly re-inventing this old variety show that had been running for several years and causing the audience to lose its freshness. Pushed to the top...

If death and imprisonment were not real, the TV station would not be so desperate for a publicity plan. Even Hattori Heiji would believe it if he said it was a deliberate hype!

"...Ha, he is indeed a guy with a very strange temperament." Thinking of the several encounters and interactions with Akechi Goro, except for the few times related to Karasawa, the vague indifferent temperament of this person always lingers. , Conan also curled his lips.

"Forget it, it's good to have Karasawa follow him and keep an eye on him." Hattori Heiji crossed his arms and exhaled, "He might do something that will attract the limelight with his reasoning in public. I hope it won't get too big. chaos."

"He has already made it so clear to us that he is going to simulate a fire that year, rent the crew's venue, and induce Nagato Mitsuaki to take the initiative to confess what he has done, so he should not be tampering with this. "Thinking about the email he received, Conan sighed heavily, "I can only say that it is really his style. But this time, there is really no better way."

Goro Akechi seems to be a guy who likes to bask in the spotlight.

Reason in front of the camera, make a shrewd and wise gesture in front of the police, even if you are facing unrelated passers-by, you must put on your most perfect and most popular side...

Is this guy suffering from some strange mental trauma? Desperately craving for attention from others.

Conan would not agree with his style in other cases. Although reporters in Tokyo have a wild style and can shoot all kinds of exciting scene scenes and put them on the front page, it is still not something worth advocating to disclose too many details of a case to the public.

However, this case is very special.

Twenty years later, even though Nagato Mitsuomi was caught as the culprit and Nagato Hidetomi testified as a witness, nothing could be changed.

The deceased who died in the fire could not come back to life, and the families of the victims who had lost their relatives and friends were so helpless that the law could not punish this guy.

He had already anticipated this when he was preparing to leave for Yokohama, so he just wanted to find out the truth of the matter.

Solve the original misunderstanding in time and give comfort to survivors like Hinata Yuki. Under the influence of time, the wounds will eventually become scars.

The dead have passed away, but the living will continue to move on.

As for whether the culprit can be brought to justice, his thoughts are relatively pessimistic.

Akechi Goro did provide him with a very good idea.

"I still don't quite understand." He laid the completely scrapped door directly on the ground and waited for the waiter who was fascinated by Goro Akechi's beauty to think of dealing with it. Hattori Heiji turned around and walked towards the elevator, speaking briefly. He said in confusion, "This case has expired, and setting up a scene to make Nagato confess openly is also suspected of eliciting a confession. It has no legal effect at all. What's the use of doing so?"

"It is indeed impossible to give him the punishment he deserves from a legal perspective, but Akechi told me a piece of news." He took out his mobile phone and read the long instructions and plans sent by Akechi Goro. Conan quickly turned to the middle part. Passed the phone over.

"...It is already very difficult to give the perpetrators legal punishment. I don't think the procuratorate will accept this case and restart the investigation.

Therefore, I think that destroying the other person's belief and taking away what he wants most is an effective punishment.

What does Nagato Mitsuo want most now? He wants power, he wants wealth, he wants the entire Nagato Group, even to the point of murdering his wife's brother and father for this purpose.

It would be enough if he couldn't get it.

According to the information I received from Ms. Nagato Nobuko, the invitation that President Nagato Dosan originally wanted to entrust to the detective was to find his first love.

This is also part of Nagato Nobuko's commission. In addition to asking me to help her find out the handles of her competitors, she also hopes that I can find the truth faster and take the initiative before the detective invited by Nagato Dozo finds out the matter. .

She didn't believe that her father had nothing to do with the other party back then. She felt that he would be obsessed with her so much. Maybe there were some problems like illegitimate children...

Rich family feud, but that doesn't matter anymore. Just today I got my answer.

Miss Hinata Yuki is the daughter of Mr. Nagato Dozo's first love.

The nature of the whole matter has changed because of this. The law cannot give a fatal blow to Nagato Guangming, but what if Mr. Nagato Douzan discovers that this person killed his first love that he has cherished for more than thirty years?

He will lose his marriage, his career, and everything he wants to get by any means... As for the rest, it is up to the families of the victims to make their own decisions.

P.S. Although I betrayed my employer for the case, which was indeed detrimental to professional ethics, I fulfilled my promise. I did complete the commission before the detective invited by Mr. Nagato Dozo, didn't I? (laugh)"

"...This guy Akechi Goro!"

Hattori Heiji's angry shouts echoed in the elevator room.
