The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Are all the records in the Metropolitan Police Department regarding the cases that the Mori detectives have searched in the past gone?!"

"Hush, shush--" Shrinking his neck, Conan hurriedly raised a finger, looked around, and lowered his voice a little, "Don't be so loud."

Dr. A Li doesn't have any eavesdropping devices here, but it's not good for Haibara to hear this topic.

Haiyuan gave him the impression that he was a very standard pessimist. Because he had faced the pressure brought by the organization, he couldn't help but flinch when he heard related topics.

If she heard that someone had already started investigating in Yoneka Town, she might have to take a long leave of absence and be afraid to go to school again.

"So, do you think it was those guys who stole those investigation records?" Dr. Ali glanced secretly at the stairs behind Conan and lowered his voice uncertainly.

"There is such a risk, isn't it?" Conan took a breath, "After I took the medicine, I also changed back, and, um... In short, the organization believed that my death was because Haiyuan tampered with the information about me at that time. My investigation information, now that she has defected, whether they will become suspicious of this information is something beyond their control."

"But if they have linked you to Detective Mouri, then the situation will be very dangerous." Dr. Ari frowned worriedly, "You disappeared and appeared with the sleeping Kogoro Moori. It's just a matter of front and rear. Once you have doubts about it, it’s hard not to make some associations.”

"Hey, this idea came from someone else..." Conan's forehead veins twitched, "It's suspicious now, isn't it too late?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly intervened in the conversation between the two people.

"Oh, so the person who came up with this bad idea is actually Dr. Ali..."

Conan was stunned, and when he looked back, he saw Hattori Heiji, wearing slippers and light clothes, walking down from the second floor.

"Hattori, why are you here?!"

"It's not just me..." Hattori Heiji raised his eyebrows and took a step to the side.

Haibara Ai, whose hair was rarely braided, also walked down in her slippers. Her crisp beige skirt and furry coat made her look soft and refreshing that was inconsistent with her usual image.

Conan said to himself, "Oh no," he didn't want to tell anyone about the emergency. It was obvious from the look on his face that he knew.

But it's not over yet.

As she walked down the rotating escalator, the figure of the person she was holding was also revealed.

"Why are Tangze even here? You..." Conan raised his finger and pointed at them, dumbfounded.

"Coincidence, completely coincidental..." Dr. Ali patted the top of his bald head and laughed awkwardly, "Hattori-kun is here to stay. Karasawa's words seem to be coming from Xiao Wail."

"...I just want to talk to him about something." Hui Yuarai turned his head and whispered.

Her expression seemed disgusted, but as she turned her head, Conan could clearly see her carefully braided princess hair and her slightly red ears.

Tang Ze raised his hand and said a friendly hello to the unlucky guy who had just sold his right hand to his left hand last night: "I came to see Shiho. I bought her some clothes when I went out... This is not Is it a coincidence? A guy who wanted to take action on his own was arrested on the spot."

After being tortured yesterday, Tang Ze did not return to the cafe. Instead, he ran back to the stronghold and slept all night.

After completing the entire operation without being able to meet his teammates, Karasawa felt that it was still necessary to clean up the beginning and end, explain the follow-up requirements, and eat something good to soothe his taste buds that were devastated by the dark cuisine.

In this regard, Karasawa can only say that a person who is a good cook will use very tricky angles when he wants to make something unpalatable. Amuro Toru's two bowls of soup made Karasawa's mind go blank, and he even felt like he was Losing blood.

and……

How should I put it? Although it is true that Shuzhuo only contains a small amount of alcohol and is still rice wine with a low concentration, it still made Tangze uncontrollably recall some bad and messy memories, which made him really not want to be alone. I don’t want to sleep alone either.

When he got up in the morning, he knew clearly that the street was crowded with his tarots. How could Karasawa live there leisurely?

"Rather than worrying about me, you should be more careful about yourself, Kudo." Haibara Ai walked into the living room and walked briskly toward the kitchen. "I'm not like you, who frequently appears in media cameras."

After hearing this news, she should indeed be afraid and worried, and should predict pessimistically that she was not far from being exposed. but……

When she stood on tiptoe to reach for the butter, she quickly glanced at Tang Ze, who was walking steadily and with a leisurely posture.

She still has her own family, and there are so many people who are willing to stand in front of her and withstand all the wind and rain for her. She does have peace of mind, doesn't she?

Moreover, the Phantom Thieves’ only scientific research facilitator can also be counted as a member of the Phantom Thieves, right?

"However, even if they think that you are hiding behind Detective Maori and making suggestions, they are still a minority, right?" Dr. Ali was embarrassed for two seconds, cleared his throat, and reluctantly comforted him, After enduring it, he added in a low voice, "This idea is actually not that bad, right?"

"The time when Conan appeared at their house was the day Kudo disappeared after taking medicine... This should be discovered by those who are interested in investigating Kudo Shinichi's personal network." Hattori Heiji sat down on the sofa and came over more than once. Karasawa had naturally found a seat for himself, "Before giving this idea, you should consider whether Kudo is suitable for playing a child."

"Yes, his enthusiasm for reasoning is like a sneeze, he can't hold it in." Tang Ze agreed.

Conan, who had actually sneezed all night, touched his nose when he heard this metaphor, couldn't help but shuddered, and quickly changed the subject: "What I want to say is that this matter is quite strange. It's not that anyone investigated the information. , but it’s about the fact that they returned the things intact to the Metropolitan Police Department.”

"Well, if the investigation is still completed and there is no use value, is it possible to operate like this?" Dr. Ali pushed up his glasses, took the toast handed over by Haibara Ai, and thought for a while.

"Isn't it possible? If someone is really like this, why don't they just destroy the things? It would be more suspicious to send them back intact." Conan shook his head and retorted decisively.

"Are you trying to say that this was a signal deliberately designed by the other party to test that uncle?" Hattori Heiji, who also got a piece of toast, tilted his head, "After all, he is a detective who has a good relationship with the police. Well, he will definitely know about this happening."

"It's more likely to test me. What's more, maybe it's just a trap to lure me into action." Conan sighed vicissitudes of life, "Uncle Maori didn't take it seriously at all, and swore he was some high-ranking person. The police officer's illegal operation is looking for trouble with him, and Xiaolan takes this matter more seriously than he does."

After hearing the keyword, Tangze paused while taking the toast.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to eat butter?" Haihara Ai, who already knew his taste, was not surprised. She smoothly changed her hand and handed him another piece of toast, "This is Strawberry jam.”

"Oh, okay, thank you." Tangze, who had recovered his senses, had no choice but to accept his sister's kind offer of customized flavors.

Haiyuan Ai, who had a nonchalant expression, shook his head.

I don't even eat anything salty when eating toast. Is it really okay for Tang Ze to consume sugar like this all day long? Or is this the sequelae of his physical changes?

I'm careless. I haven't done any routine blood tests on him. Otherwise, I should try it with blood sugar test strips first...

Tangze, who didn't know that his professional medical team had new ideas, just bit the sweet bread silently and had some subtle associations.

Belmode didn't need to investigate at all. She had obviously figured out Conan's identity long ago, and there was no need to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to steal information.

Although Tokyo's police department has almost become a public toilet, where people can come and go as they please, such a time-consuming "test" does not seem to be the work of Bermod.

Thinking of Tohru Amuro who engaged in table torture last night, Karasawa's thoughts briefly wandered.

No way, no way, no way, this is the work of a certain police officer...

————

When Kazami Yuya walked into the office, Furitani Rei was staring at the documents on the table with a very serious, even slightly gloomy expression.

This was something Kazami Yuya was not very familiar with. His expression state—maybe his boss had this completely dangerous evil face when he was performing undercover missions, he guessed.

Unsure whether Rei Fukiya was undecided or thinking about something more personal, Yuya Kazami took the initiative and asked: "Do you really want to stop the investigation against Hoshikawa Teru? He often acts on Karasawa's behalf. , whereabouts are actually not that hidden.”

Fangtani Rei touched the document with a blank cover and closed his eyes.

"Karasawa has known for a long time that Edogawa Conan belongs to Kudo Shinichi." As if talking to himself or asking for advice, Rei Fukutani suddenly said.

"Yes, he admitted it yesterday." Yuya Fengmi knew that his boss was not really asking for his advice, but was sorting out his thoughts, but he still answered seriously.

"Yesterday, all the reasons I used to explain the simultaneous appearance of Edogawa Conan and Kaitou Joker are also applicable to Karasawa." Rei Fukutani continued.

"Yes, and Hoshikawa Teru is here." Kazami Yuya nodded again.

Compared to a high school detective turned into an elementary school student, with Hoshikawa Teru as a near-perfect stand-in, it would be easier for Karasawa to perform some shadow tricks.

"Special intelligence ability, superhuman learning methods, a child who studies cognitive science..." Fangtani Rei closed his eyes and took a breath.

Of course he knew that Edogawa Conan could not be the Phantom Thief Joker.

After having doubts about the child, he used the fastest time to retrieve information on various cases he had participated in.

Although these cases were recorded on other people's heads, Edogawa Conan, as an important witness at the scene, naturally had to go to the police station to take notes.

What's more important is that these records must be signed and confirmed by me at the end.

Perhaps because he has become a child and his wrist strength has weakened, his handwriting is rounder than that of a teenage high school student, but even if anyone who doesn't understand handwriting appraisal looks at it, his handwriting is different from that of flying and dancing. , the powerful and powerful style is completely different.

The moment Fangtani Rei saw these documents, he had already turned his attention to the direction that he had originally ruled out, and quickly determined that the biggest breakthrough lay with Xingchuan Hui.

Looking at the process of Karasawa creating the identity of Goro Akechi and becoming a member of Codename, there is an extremely obvious problem——

How on earth did he find Hoshikawa Teru?

Hoshikawa Hui lives in seclusion, has no social connections, is not recognized by his family, and has minimal presence in the organization. He is almost a "person who does not exist in the world."

How did Tang Ze accurately find a person with such a convenient identity, contact him, and convince him?

Therefore, the investigation of Xingchuan Hui became the logical next step.

Maybe we just need such a connection point, just need to find a simple breakthrough, and all problems can be solved easily.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the document, which had been completed for several pages, exhaled a long breath, and stood up.

"Take it and crush it."

"But……"

"No need to but, let's stop here." Fang Gu Ling did not look back, "I promised him that we all have our own secrets and don't get to the bottom of it."

The answer that was about to come out was not analyzed by his intelligence, Jianggu Ling knew it very well.

He could easily discover Tangze's flaws because Tangze had exposed his most critical trump card from the beginning.

If Karasawa hadn't revealed his identity to him back then, and hadn't put Teru Hoshikawa in front of him, he would have been able to deal with the "fake Karasawa Akira" even more nervously while desperately trying to track down Joker's identity. Traces, it is far from possible to perfect the reasoning to its current state.

Karasawa had helped him a lot, many of them at the expense of exposing his own special characteristics.

The truth may be important, but right and wrong, as well as the friendship that is more important than Mount Tai, should be above those things.

"Take it and break it into pieces." He repeated it again. He looked at the whiteboard in front of him and smoothed his hair helplessly. "As for the rest, I will keep an eye on him myself."

On the whiteboard in front of him was Karasawa's writing with sharp strokes.

That was the writing on the blackboard that Tang Ze left behind when he came to Team Zero last time to communicate with the members about a more efficient information exchange plan.

Very different from joker's handwriting...

If it is really him, then he is even an experienced colleague who has specialized in handwriting and has been trained for a long time to consciously control his writing habits. Otherwise, it is really difficult to explain.

Fangtani Ling picked up the eraser on one side, silently wiped it away bit by bit, and sighed.

There was obviously a way to hide himself even more completely, but he didn't do it.

It's a bit narrow-minded and has a teasing taste, but it's really unguarded and has no hesitation.

Faced with Tang Ze like this, when he was suspicious of him or even investigated behind his back, he always felt like he was being outdone.

I really lost to this naughty kid.

"I'll wait for him to tell me himself." Rei Fangtani said softly to the whiteboard, "There will be a day."

"...You must have found an important clue, otherwise you would just sit there and think about it without saying a word. I am right, look at your expression!"

When Karasawa came to his senses, the bread in his hand had been chewed down to the edge, and the discussion in the room had already reached the important part of the Belmod suspect.

"Well, I did make some discoveries." Conan curled his lips and explained reluctantly after being seen through, "Didn't I tell you that I had contact with them at the Aido City Hotel? At that time, I was because I found a purple handkerchief that was used to cover up the muzzle flash, so I contacted Officer Megure and asked him to detain all guests who had purple handkerchiefs. However, strangely, all eight people present had handkerchiefs."

"Oh, that case, the case where the murderer was accidentally photographed by a tabloid reporter who was filming an extramarital affair?" Hattori Heiji immediately recalled the information that Karasawa emphasized many times.

"Actually, based on the station, you can also identify the approximate candidate... But it is indeed the case." Conan's expression collapsed, and he added, restating his point, "At that time, there were a total of 8 people who were isolated and interrogated by the police. It is unlikely that Pisk realized that the focus of the interrogation was to examine the condition of the handkerchief."

"Oh, you mean, there are his accomplices among the others." Hattori Heiji responded quickly, "Because he was interrogated by the police first, he knew the information about their inspection, and then handed his handkerchief to Got him?"

"Well, except for Pisk, the other suspects are all people who often appear in the media. Oh, to be precise, the dinner itself was a place where celebrities gathered. Two of them were more suspicious." Several people The face flashed through his mind, and Conan couldn't help but turn his eyes and glanced at Tang Ze who was still slowly eating toast.

"Who are the two people you are talking about...?" Everyone looked at Conan's face, waiting for his answer.

"One is the movie star who announced her retirement after this incident, Chris Wynyard...and the one who did not appear on the invitation list, Akechi Goro." After a brief hesitation, Conan gritted his teeth and put his All the guesses were revealed.

Hearing Akechi's name, everyone's eyes turned to Tang Ze again.

Conan and Hattori looked at him because Karasawa had made it clear that he and Akechi could be considered friends, while Haibara Ai looked at him with pure worry.

Shouldn't your matter be published? Brother.jpg

Tangze, who had completely received everyone's messages, twitched the corner of his mouth twice, looked back at them calmly, and replied calmly: "Oh, you will doubt Akechi because he is not among the invited guests?"

"Yes, and he had a relatively fierce conflict with Tunkou Shigehiko at the scene. If Pisk was the executor of the assassination, and he was the one responsible for threatening and issuing the ultimatum... Tunkou Shigehiko's emotions at that time, It makes more sense." Conan resisted his gaze and stubbornly stated all his guesses.

There is no way, since Goro Akechi is among the suspects, and he is from the United States like Chris Wynyard, and his previous life is difficult to examine. Conan really has no way not to include him as a target of suspicion.

Considering that Miyano Shiho was only 16 years old when he became a member of Codename, Akechi Goro's youth was not enough to exclude him from the list.

Of course he also hoped that the other party was not.

Otherwise, regardless of his high attention and frequency of exposure, his image in the public mind, or considering that he is a rare friend of Karasawa who knew him before coming to Tokyo, it is very likely that Goro Akechi is a member of the organization. A huge blow.

"If it's because of this... then it's easy to explain." Karasawa smiled and dropped a bombshell, "He should have entered the venue as a member of Shigehiko Shigehiko's entourage. Well, behind his back It seems inappropriate to talk about people's privacy like this, but it's not a big problem to tell you... Akechi is the son of Shigehiko Tonkou."
