The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"... In your original plan, you should have deliberately created a situation that would give you an alibi soon. For example, when the detective called people in for questioning one by one, everyone could see your whereabouts. When the time comes, let's 'happen' to discover the body of Kriejiu Kanie, or go one step closer and make some traces that will make people think you were attacked..."

Hattori Heiji put one hand in his pocket, and as he spoke, he walked towards Nawaii Sadao who was sitting on the ground. The hazy shadow reflected by the moonlight covered the man's sight, making his figure even taller.

"I think you must have encountered an accident and been forced to change your plan, so that there was such a big omission... Karasawa discovered Kanie Koraku in advance, right?"

Whale Sadao's face twitched twice, and there were faint traces of sweat on his forehead.

Just as he said, if it weren't for the kid who was not watching the fun at the stern of the ship for some reason, but was wandering around the ship, he actually found Kanie Norehisa hanging in a coma outside the ship. He originally planned to find an opportunity to shoot After killing Xie Jiang, he inflicted some gunshot wounds on himself and used some tricks to make it look like he was shot in public by Xie Jiang.

This black-skinned boy... damn...

Inexplicably sharp, I shouldn't have asked this guy to come on board.

However, no matter what he thought, he didn't feel that he had left any evidence against himself, so even though his heart was beating extremely fast and he was feeling anxious, he could barely keep his voice steady: "I don't know what you're talking about. What."

Conan turned his head and stared sharply at Nawaii Sadao's face that was distorted by panic and fear. He took out the things in his pocket, gathered his emotions, and said loudly in a child's tone: "Brother Hattori, you want me Here’s what you went to look for in the trash can!”

Hattori Heiji took the thing wrapped in the handkerchief in his hand, unfolded it, raised his eyebrows, understood what he meant, and immediately showed the thing in his hand to everyone.

"'Waiting for you in the computer room, Furukawa Dai.' A message in the name of Ye Zaizan calling Kameda Teruyoshi over. Combined with the empty bullet casings and blood stains I found in the computer room, it was you who specifically called Kameda Teruyoshi. Killed him in the computer room. Did you write this?"

Whale Sadao curled his lips, the expression on his face did not change much.

He designed such a troublesome plan because he wanted to prove that without Ye Caisan, he could complete a sophisticated crime plan without leaving such obvious flaws.

That was a note he had prepared in advance, and he was not afraid of such things being discovered.

Including the jacket worn when the gun was fired, it has also been disposed of together with the gun to avoid detection of smoke reactions.

"However, I got new inspiration after seeing this note." Hattori Heiji observed his state and changed the topic, "The reason why the three of you came to meet on the ship is probably not for the sake of 'reminiscing about old times' as you said. Bar."

As he spoke, he glanced at Conan, who was unable to speak, and smoothly shifted the focus of his words to another direction: "I heard from Conan that when you were getting on the boat, Kameda Teruyoshi came in front of you with something inexplicably. Showed a circle.”

"Ah, yes, it is indeed like this, it seems to be a name badge or something..." Mao Lilan nodded, recalling the scene in the afternoon, "Then, Mr. Kanie came over with a key and pulled Kameda-san walked away.”

"Yes, you must have met to get the money from a certain safe that you have not dared to use for 20 years." Hattori Heiji turned his head, looked at Whalei Sadao's face, and said sarcastically, "Kill The leader who coordinated the overall situation is dead, so you don’t even know how to deal with the stolen money, right?”

Whale Sadao's face darkened.

Ye Caisan's praised planning ability was something he had always disdained and tried to surpass.

Because among the 400 million yen they grabbed, there were 300 million in banknotes, and the serial numbers had been recorded by the police. Without Ye Caisan, the mastermind who had mastered the channels, the three of them could only make a plan to survive the litigation period. Conservative choice...

This is his real sore spot, and the reason why he deliberately creates such gimmicky choreography.

He wanted to prove that he had never lost to Ye Caisan, no matter in any aspect.

"Kameda Teruyoshi holds the name stamp, and Kanie holds the key to the safe for a long time. What about you?" Hattori Heiji turned around and looked at the brightly lit luxury cruise ship, "You are the one holding the signature. Isn't it? In other words, you are the only one who has the confidence to directly silence other people before taking out the things."

This was a very logical speculation. Now not only he and Conan, but also several other tourists could not help but think along his train of thought for a moment, then exchanged a few looks, and slowly stepped back, away from Whalei Sadao's position.

It is true that name seals and keys are tangible tokens that can be used by anyone, but for signatures, only the person who has signed them can ensure that the handwriting is consistent.

Among the three robbers, the only one who dared to strike before the things were taken out, kill the other two and keep the stolen money, was Sadao Umai.

"...You have no evidence to prove that he is not Ye Zaizan, right?" Whalei Sadao was not in the mood to continue to maintain his expression, staring fiercely at the back of Hattori Heiji's head.

Why didn't this guy come over to inspect the deck? He should have been pushed down.

"What, did I make you unhappy?" Hattori Heiji accurately received the hostility and stinging anger in his tone, turned his head and looked at him without giving in, "That's right. There was a Phantom Thief on the news tonight. The safe you visited is the one where you kept the stolen money, right?"

He had heard about the Phantom Thieves of the Heart from the news and from Kudo. They seemed to be a special group whose mission was to punish criminals and used gray means to achieve their goals. It was naturally impossible for them to target people in banks for no reason. property.

Thinking of the desperate expressions of the three people as if they were falling into an ice cave when the news was broadcast, Hattori Heiji felt that he must be telling the truth.

"And, speaking of whether he is Ye Zaizan... Mr. Samezaki, when you talked about the progress of the case before, you mentioned that the police confirmed that one of the suspects in the robbery case was a mercenary operating in another country. Bar?"

"Yes, he is also the gunman in the gang. He was the one who killed the bank employee, Miumi Samezaki." Shimaji Samezaki took a deep breath and recited this to himself. I didn't dare to type the name, so I spoke it slowly.

Hearing this last name, everyone looked at Samezaki Shimaji's expression, and soon realized why this retired old policeman insisted on boarding the ship and searching without giving up.

Samezaki Shimaji's expression was very calm, and a kind of empty relief and sadness lingered in his eyes, lingering.

Regardless of whether the man hanging on the bow of the boat was Ye Caisan or the last member of the gang, the group of robbers who killed his daughter had all killed each other driven by profit and eliminated them all.

If this black-skinned boy is right, then Sadao Whalei, the last survivor, will also be behind bars for a new murder case.

After so many years, to achieve such a result, he had nothing more to ask for.

Hattori Heiji looked away from him and sighed secretly.

He had seen this look not long ago.

On the face of Yusuke Sakata, who was handcuffed and sitting in the interrogation room, calmly describing the incident.

"...In short, Kanie Norihisa is probably the mercenary. The old injuries on the body cannot prove that he is the missing Ye Zaizan." Hattori Heiji continued, "It would be better to say that it is precisely because you are right As an accomplice who is very familiar with his situation, only you can make such an arrangement. The murderer went to great lengths to use Ye Caisan's image to board the ship, and also left banknotes with messages on them in a mysterious way. If it weren't for the purpose of If all the blame is placed on Ye Caisan, then these designs cannot be established."

If Karasawa hadn't disrupted the murderer's plan, he guessed that Whalei Sadao would have continued to perform next, trying to convey the misleading information that Kanie Norihisa was Ye Saizo.

Unfortunately……

As he thought this, he looked anxiously at the ocean outside the ship again.

A bright light broke through the darkness at this moment, shining out from the waves like a morning star.

Hattori Heiji's expression suddenly brightened, and a smile appeared on his lips again: "Look, your fatal blow is coming,"

"Tangze!" Mao Lilan saw him standing at the bow of the ship at a glance, with his blanket fluttering in the wind, like someone riding on the waves, and shouted in surprise.

It was her idea to invite him to go on the cruise together. If something unexpected happened to Tangze because of this trip, she couldn't imagine how she would face herself.

"That is the witness who discovered that Kanie was hanging on the bow of the ship for a long time and was attacked by you." Hattori Heiji showed a confident smile, turned his head, and declared in a loud voice, "You can't escape, Mr. Whalei !”

Whalei Sadao stared blankly at the approaching ships, his face turned blue and white, and he completely lost the strength to stand up again.

A lot of this stems from the shame and unwillingness to have someone expose the trick, but more of it is an unspeakable fear.

Watching Karasawa step on the bow of the speedboat, nimbly climbing over the railing of the cruise ship, and climbing onto the deck, Nabui Sadao seemed to be looking directly at a terrifying existence. Looking at Karasawa, his eyes seemed to be looking at something coming from the sea. Climbing up like a monster.

That kid was actually unscathed!

He, he clearly remembered that because he was hit by someone, he didn't stop doing anything, shot him several times from behind at close range, and took the opportunity to throw the gun and his clothes into the sea!

This is why he dared to bite the detective to death and could only rely on logical reasoning, and there was no evidence to crucify him.

With such a distance and a gunshot wound to a vital part, the young man was just like Ye Caisan back then, falling from a height and falling into the tiny waves below...

How could he, how could he...!

Karasawa accepted the excited hugs and shakes from Mao Lilan and Conan, and waved to Hattori Heiji with a smile. Like a hero returning home in triumph, he dragged the heavy blanket soaked in water and walked to everyone.

Of course he knew the reason for Whalei Sadao's expression of extreme fear, crawling backwards, as if he had seen a ghost.

Whether he alerted the crew, put on a pose for a long time, or pretended not to notice the approaching Namui Sadao, it was all done by Karasawa on purpose.

Lowering his head, Karasawa looked at the large blanket on his body, stretched out his hand to loosen the front part, making it look like the robes and saga hanging on the mythical characters, facing Sadao Whalei's side. The direction is one step closer.

"You are really smart. Even if others believed that Kanie Shijiu was Ye Caisan, you would never have thought that Ye Caisan's daughter would board this passenger ship, right? After we got off, the police would do a DNA test and they would have discovered everything, right?" Hattori Heiji only thought that Whalei Sadao was in panic because he found that he really couldn't escape the blame, and rolled his eyes and said something.

There are also things about guns, money, and the flow of money...

If this was a mystery novel, then Whalei Sadao's plan might sound a bit sophisticated at first glance. But in the field of criminal investigation, the more complex you make the case, the more difficult it becomes for criminal investigation.

"He actually directly used Furukawa Dai to publish the news in the newspaper. I'm afraid this guy didn't understand the reason why Ye Caisan only used this pseudonym." Samezaki Shimaharu shook his head, a little sad.

Although he also hated Ye Caisan, the mastermind of the robbery, but if these three unprincipled idiots hadn't violated Ye Caisan's orders, perhaps there would still be a chance to redeem all tragedies.

Unknowingly continuing to use this name, which attracted the attention of detectives and people involved in the case, may be Ye Caisan's belated revenge on the three traitors.

While they were talking, Karasawa dragged a long blanket and walked up to Sadao Whalei in a ceremonial manner. He looked down at this man from the corner of his eyes and showed an indifferent and strange smile.

In the eyes of Whalei Sadao, this seemed to be a lack of humanity. It was just a simple imitation of a smile, unable to understand the real emotions in it, and it had a strong inhuman color.

"'Poseidon, the god of the sea, has given me life, and my shadow has been resurrected'..." Karasawa read this sentence flatly, and widened the arc of his smile in the face of Whalei Sadao's desperate gaze, "Ye Caisan, Maybe he really isn’t dead.”

At such a close distance, Whalei Sadao saw Karasawa's skin that was slightly whitened by the sea water, and saw Karasawa's eyes with a faint light.

And that face, that strange smile that was inexplicably familiar.

Whale Sadao trembled all over.

"Don't come here, don't come here!" A scream burst out from his throat, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have harmed you, don't come here! Let me go, let me go" me!"

It must be Ye Caisan, this must be Ye Caisan!

His ghost crawled back from the netherworld, possessed the man who was also shot and fell into the sea, and came to claim his life.

"I was wrong, I shouldn't look down on you..."

"I, I admit, I will never be as good as you. I shouldn't harm you, Ye, let me go, let me go..."

Naimai Sadao, who curled up in a ball and hugged his head tightly, cried loudly and completely without any image. He did not dare to raise his head and make eye contact with Karasawa. He sobbed and kept murmuring confessions and begging for mercy, as if he was trapped in a trap. In the nightmare of the past, it was as if it was impossible to distinguish between illusion and reality.

"What's wrong with him?" Hattori Heiji stood next to Karasawa, looking strangely at the sudden madness of Sadao Whalei, and turned to look at Karasawa.

His hair was still wet, as if he had wiped it randomly with a towel, and the thin clothes under the blanket had not dried yet. He looked embarrassed and messy. If you think about it seriously, it would be a bit scary to suddenly see such an image on the shore at night. .

But now we are on a boat with lights. Isn't this normal? Why are we suddenly so scared that we go crazy?

"Maybe the murder was discovered, the wealth he cherished was gone, and the psychological defense collapsed." Tangze, who finally heard him crying bitterly, blinked, took back the hand that put the debuff on the opponent's head, and turned his head as if nothing had happened. , "It's outrageous to think about it. They haven't contacted each other in the past 20 years, and they haven't considered what if something happens and someone suddenly disappears. What will happen to the things in the bank? A bunch of sloppy dilettantes."

This old case may be the result of a strange case setting. He has not considered the issue of rationality. He understands the reason.

But when I see them in person, I still can’t help but want to complain.

You rob banks just for quick money, to take shortcuts to gain wealth, but in the end, you rob the bank and run away to live in silence for 20 years. Do you lose?

They don’t leave any contact information with each other, and they don’t even inform each other of their names. If you meet a kind-hearted dump truck, will you just stare at a gathering with a small number of people in 20 years?

"Forget it, I'm going to change clothes first." Tang Ze took a peek at his teammates' position and sniffed, "Fortunately, the original booking was for a two-day and one-night trip, so I still have a change of clothes. I fell into the sea today. , it’s so cold.”

"You wandered around the ship by yourself and didn't come back to inform us when you found out. Don't you deserve it?" Hattori Heiji patted him on the back angrily.

If it weren't for his luck and he didn't lose consciousness when he fell, wouldn't Tang Ze...

It scares me to think about it.

"Go and change your clothes quickly. If you choke on the water and blow the wind, or if you get infected and have a fever later..." Mao Lilan pushed Tang Ze towards the guest room, "It won't be good if it develops into inflammation!"

"Oh, it's okay. I'm fine. Not long after I fell, I hit the police patrol boat..."

"That's because you're lucky. If you're not lucky, something will really happen!"

"Hey, the Phantom Thieves of Heart stole the stolen money in such a high-profile manner, of course the police will notice this ship. It's not luck!"

"Don't make it sound like you had a plan. You didn't steal it!"

"Well..."

"Hurry up and change your clothes!"

A few people were fighting and pushing Karasawa toward the inside of the ship. The frightened Nobui Sadao, who fell to the ground and was trembling, could only continue to tremble in the eyes of several victims' family members.

"The garbage that least deserves to survive..." Hoshikawa Hui, who was standing among the crew, whispered disdainfully, lowered his head, reintegrated into the shadow of the crowd, and moved the first aid kit with the items in his hand behind him. He moved, fearing that he could not hold back and throw the things in his hands over and explode with him.

A scumbag who shoots a high school student whose back is turned to him is so frightened that he loses his mind and does not deserve sympathy!

Why doesn't Tang Ze have a mental disorder?
