The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"It's because of that 'Kudo' again, but after talking for a long time, I couldn't find him at all, and there was no place to settle the accounts..."

"What are you talking about, Miss Toyama?" Tang Ze, who actually heard her words clearly, pretended not to know and looked over blankly, "What, looking for someone or something?"

"No, it's okay!" Toyama and Ye showed a big smile, took the pot from Karasawa's hand, and put it on the plate, "I'm just a little curious... Oh, by the way, Karasawa, you and that Kudo Shin One, we are classmates in high school, right? That’s what Hattori told me.”

"We are indeed, but after I transferred here, Kudo-kun took a leave of absence, so I have never seen him." Karasawa poured the soup into several bowls one by one and answered casually, "You are very Do you care that Hattori came here to investigate this matter because of him?"

"Actually, I just..." Toyama Kazuha put the pot in his hand into the pool, made a heavy sound, and then let out a frustrated breath, "Forget it, Hattori is like this. With or without Kudo, he will take the case Put your priority first, there is no point in venting your anger on others.”

She looked at the dishes in the kitchen and shook her head helplessly.

As long as there is a case, forgetting appointments, leaving people aside, and letting go for hours... She has experienced these things in the past, and even complaining is of no use.

Even herself, doesn't she like Hattori Heiji's pure and focused character?

She chose an idiot herself, and now it's a little late to regret it.

"Don't be discouraged, Miss Toyama." Tang Ze held up the tray steadily and smiled at her, "People have different personalities and talents. Some people are born not good at being considerate and not good at handling many social relationships. Not being as romantic and considerate as imagined does not necessarily mean that he despises our relationship."

Toyama and Ye looked at Tangze's smile for a while, then curled their lips and said, "Even if you say so, it's still hard to be confident. He is very sharp when handling cases. Not to mention forgetting the agreed time, he can even remember it. The suspect's casual words, the details that were swept away... If you remember these things, but can't remember my repeated warnings, isn't that still a lack of attention?"

"Well, maybe it's because you are too familiar with each other." Tang Ze shrugged, and the center of gravity of the tray in his hand was stable without any shaking. "If you are too familiar, sometimes it is like holding the left hand with the right hand, but you will be careless. It’s small things. Whether he values ​​you or not, he will definitely show it at the critical moment.”

And he guessed it wasn't far away.

Generally speaking, Toyama Kazuha is a fixed refresh type. When she leaves Osaka with Hattori Heiji, something is basically going to happen.

After the accident, Hattori Heiji would stand in front of her without hesitation in the face of any personal threats, and choose her between himself and her without hesitation...

How should I put it, standing up again and again in such critical moments may be the reason why these girls will always be pulled. The trick of the innocent and steely straight man belongs to it.

"I think you don't have to stick to the ordinary student couple model. You have to try those 'romantic' ones. It's uncomfortable to expect mismatch." Tang Ze walked out and gave some personal advice, "Find someone who is more suitable for you. Isn’t it a good way to get along?”

What is the model of an ordinary student couple? Are you and Heji not ordinary students?

Toyama and Ye, who had no idea that they were actually in a state of trouble with their masked vigilante girlfriends, were dumbfounded.

"Wow, what a sumptuous dish!" Tang Ze walked to the dining table, and Judy raised her arms in cooperation and cheered, "We are solving a case, and you can still find time to come over and have a meal. It's amazing Tang Ze!"

"It's just because you guys are solving the case that I can take the time to come over and cook." Tangze smiled and distributed the bowls on the tray to the people at the table. "I can't help you with the case. I was originally saying I want to go out for dinner, and it’s not good to run out hungry after staying up so late, so I thought, I might as well come over and buy something and make some food.”

Is it really because he can't be of much help, or is he worried that staying too long will expose his reasoning ability? The popular detective Akechi Goro-kun?

Judy pursed her lips teasingly, winked, and took the bowl from his hand.

Seeing him sitting down at the table, Conan and Hattori Heiji, who were a little nervous, breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed instinctively.

Originally, the case was over, it was getting late, and Yuan Shan and Ye were coming, so they should have said goodbye and left Judy's apartment directly.

As a result, Tangze suddenly raised his hand and said that considering the time issue, everyone had not had dinner yet, and he had used Judy's kitchen to cook some food, so he might as well come over and finish the meal before leaving.

In this way, a nondescript dinner combination was reached, and the two of them stayed in the place that they had searched all over, each feeling uncomfortable in their own way.

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that there is a high school private detective like Hattori-kun in our class." Judy picked up the chopsticks and pinched them twice, "It's like I'm still not used to using chopsticks. Likewise, there are so many minors in Japan, and it’s really unaccustomed to work as a detective at a crime scene.”

"Well, this may not be the case only in Japan, right?" Thinking of the White Horse detective who would appear in the future, Karasawa replied, "Whether he is a minor, it is a good thing if he can solve the case."

"Having said that, if all the cases are solved by private detectives, wouldn't the police be disgraced?" Judy glanced at Tangze curiously, unable to hide her curiosity.

Could it be that this is the reason why Tang Ze created such a false identity? Because detective is a profession where it is easy to gain fame and is not restricted by age?

Also, considering that he also has a false identity as a black organization, this is indeed a profession that allows him to interact with the police openly without causing the organization to overreact.

"As long as we can improve the detection rate of major cases, successfully file lawsuits and get sentences, it doesn't matter who solves the case. If you can't solve the case, then you will really lose your face." Tang Ze picked up a piece of tofu with chopsticks and made a sound statement. He retorted, "You make it sound like the American police have a lot of face."

"Oh, what you said makes sense." Judy was stunned and nodded slowly.

I have to say, this is a very convincing argument, especially for the FBI.

After being persuaded, Judy lowered her head and concentrated on eating. At this moment, she couldn't help but turned into two detectives.

"It's not like we all rely on private detectives to solve the case..." Hattori Heiji, who came from a police family, snorted, "Even without me, my father is still a well-known detective in the police world, and his speed in solving crimes is top-notch."

"I don't know if you are, but Kudo is like this anyway." Karasawa glanced at him and then at Conan, "So your title is not as cool as his, his title is 'Savior of the Japanese Police', 'Heisei Sherlock Holmes', and you, you are 'Kudo of Kanto, Hattori of Kansai'. It can be seen that shining brighter than the police has a crucial impact on fame."

"I..." Hattori Heiji suddenly coughed after choking on a mouthful of peppercorns.

Facing a table with guests from many countries sitting at the table, Karasawa naturally chose the classic set meal. Mapo tofu, which is eaten by people all over the world, plus some salad, fried beef tenderloin with onions, etc., formed a nondescript meal. A table of dishes.

In short, if Japan’s mapo tofu is called Chinese food, Karasawa can barely nod his head, but if he kills the American General Tso’s chicken, he will not admit that it is Chinese food!

"Ha, I think this is related to the ability to detect cases." Conan was not very convinced at once, "He is still in Tokyo, he is still an underage detective with a large number of cases, but the title of Akechi is completely different," Detective Prince', 'Gentle Crime Busters' and stuff like that."

"Oh, that's because of his better features, which is that he is handsome." Tang Ze said calmly.

"Don't you think I... well, Brother Shinichi is not handsome?" When discussing this issue, Conan became even more unconvinced.

"Well, of course Kudo is also handsome, and I still receive some letters from the school. However, Akechi is better at dressing up. His image is more impactful and eye-catching. Kudo basically wears school uniforms or ordinary sweaters... so , the number of letters has indeed dropped sharply." Tang Ze believed that his answer was very pertinent.

Conan's little face wrinkled up, and he held the tip of his chopstick in his mouth for a few seconds. He couldn't think of any response, so he lowered his head and continued to eat.

Damn it, Tangze clearly didn't belittle his reasoning ability, he praised his wise part, and even his appearance that he didn't care much about, and he didn't say anything nice, so why was he so aggrieved!

After killing the game again, the Healer King saw that the dining table had finally returned to some silence, lowered his head with satisfaction, and tasted his own craft.

Although when Toru Amuro was here, Karasawa had little chance to master a rice spoon, but considering that Karasawa did have the need to cook for himself and knew how to cook, Toru Amuro had taught him some kitchen skills. .

Now, the flavor of Karasawa's cooking has undergone some subtle changes, and he is still very confident and can conquer Japanese people from all walks of life.

So for a while, there was only the quiet sound of chewing on the table, and Judy, who was used to showing a stereotypical American image, loudly praised the taste of the food from time to time.

"Karasawa said, Mr. Judy, you came to work in Japan because you like Japanese pop culture." Hattori Heiji, who had quietly eaten half a bowl, finally continued the previous topic, "Then what do you do in the United States? What? Are you also a teacher?"

"In the United States..." Judy glanced at Karasawa who was immersed in eating, and replied with a smile, "That's not true. When I was in the United States, I was more or less, um, a consultant. I just have a teaching qualification. , I think the job of English teacher is easy to apply for.”

Tang Ze, who was almost done showing off his rice, looked up at her after hearing this.

One thing to say is, indeed, the FBI is a federal agency after all, and Judy's department is a pure special intelligence department. The police consultant is also a consultant, right.

"Have you always been single? You shouldn't be such a beautiful lady." Kazuha Toyama, who had a deep understanding of Hattori Heiji's orientation, asked abruptly.

"I'm single...well, I had an ex-boyfriend, and now I also have someone I like." Judy held her cheeks, not knowing whether she was recalling or exhaling with a sigh, "He is a person who puts his career before his feelings. As for the people before me, I don’t know if I still have a chance.”

"...Then you come to Japan, don't you have no chance at all?" Toyama and Ye, who had an inexplicable short-term empathy, murmured.

"I came to Japan, of course, because...he also came to Japan." Judy let out two nasal chuckles, which, coupled with her slightly hoarse voice, gave her a unique sense of maturity and sexiness.

"Hey, didn't you just say that you like Japanese culture..." After receiving an unexpected answer, Toyama and Ye looked towards Judy, and couldn't help but blush when they looked into her water-colored eyes at close range. For a moment.

The beautiful and sexy eldest sister was so charming that she didn't dare to look carefully at the confused expression in Judy's eyes.

Yuan Shan and Ye looked blankly, with a grain of rice hanging on their lips. They looked very innocent and cute. Judy widened her smile and raised her finger to tap her face: "Girl, let me teach you something." Little secret... No matter what time, you can't tell others that you did something for a certain man. Some things can only be hidden in your heart. A secret makes a woman woman. Do you understand? "

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the table raised their heads from their bowls and looked at Judy, who was leaning on the palm of his hand, full of charm, and remained silent.

The two detectives looked slightly serious and exchanged glances silently.

Yuan Shan and Ye didn't know whether they were clicked by her or completely captured by the big sister's charm. They opened and closed their mouths in a daze, unable to say an answer.

And Tangze...

Tang Ze looked at her for a while, then took out his cell phone from under the table and silently sent an email.

[I feel like you are in trouble, Brother Xiuyi. 】

Akai Shuichi, who was sitting in the store warehouse sorting out the eavesdropping content: "?"

————

"Oh, so after working on it for a long time, you called me over again because of other people's affairs."

Walking on the road to 2-chome, Toyama and Ye listened to Hattori Heiji's upcoming schedule, folded their arms and smacked their lips in dissatisfaction.

She knew that if it was really about traveling, dating, or shopping, Heiji wouldn't think of her at all.

"Ah, well..." Hattori Heiji cleared his throat and turned his eyes awkwardly.

In fact, this is not entirely the case.

This matter has to start from yesterday’s cruise.

Due to a misunderstanding about the reason why he boarded the ship, Mao Lilan once thought that he was taking Toyama and Ye to Ogasawara to see dolphins. Even after it was later clarified, Mao Lilan still asked twice, as if he couldn't believe that he actually unprepared look.

"You like Miss Toyama, isn't it obvious to everyone?"

"Is it, is it that obvious?!"

"Sigh... Since you have the opportunity to travel, even if you really go there for a case, there is nothing wrong with calling Miss Yuanshan."

"Well, but she has never been interested in cases or anything like that..."

"Is there a possibility that she is not interested in the case because when you encounter a case, you will put her aside or ignore her existence, so she is not interested?" This is Tang Ze, who happened to be carrying juice, came over and sat down, "If you have any commissions or cases in the future, if you take Miss Toyama with you whenever she is free, wouldn't she be so disgusted? Anyway, those who are busy solving cases are also It’s just you, so she won’t get tired of following you.”

It makes sense and cannot be refuted.

So after thinking deeply about Tang Ze's sharp comments, he made a temporary decision to call Kazuo over.

"You can't just ignore this kind of thing just because the person you like is your childhood sweetheart and you are familiar enough." In the morning, Karasawa, who brought gifts to Dr. Agasa's house, said this, "Shiho is my sister, how can I Because this is a familiar relative, should we ignore gifts and care? No matter what kind of relationship it is, it needs to be managed and maintained, and it is a two-way street."

so……

"Ahem, actually, I also thought by the way, well, it's just not interesting for me to go on a trip. I want to find someone familiar to accompany me..." Hattori Heiji, who didn't dare to look at Toyama Kazuha's expression, took a breath and pulled out He put his hand in his pocket and said, "This time, um, I was supposed to prepare a souvenir for you, but unfortunately I didn't make it... this, a gift."

After receiving an unexpected answer, Toyama and Ye couldn't recover for a while. Their steps were a little slow. They lowered their heads slowly and looked at Hattori Heiji's palm.

Inside the small, delicate velvet box is a sparkling necklace pendant.

Dolphin shaped.

————

"Gift, you called me here specially just for this?"

At the table outside the cafe, Kuroba Kaito found Karasawa, who was holding a heavy tome and sitting in the sun reading, and got an answer that left him speechless.

Really, mysteriously, he called him, sent him an email, and confirmed the progress of his investigation on X alloy before calling him over. He thought Joker had made some important discovery or something. I had to meet him in a tricky situation that required his help.

The result is this...

Kuroba Kaito raised his hand helplessly, but unfortunately he didn't have a top hat to support him in his daily attire, so he could only helplessly pat the messy black hair on his head.

"Why? You still have objections to giving me something?" Tang Ze pinched the bridge of his nose and cleared the long list of proper nouns from his head before putting down the book and looking at the boy sitting opposite.

Since Polo Cafe is just downstairs from the Maori Detective Agency, in order not to trigger a new bloody plot, he mysteriously asked Kuroba Kaito to remember to come here in disguise.

If Mao Lilan sees it, it may cause trouble again, which is not good.

"I think you might need something like this, but I'm not sure, so I asked you to come and take a look." Tangze found a black plastic box from his pocket and shook it.

A crisp sound of collision came from the box, and Kuroba Kaito, who was speechless, sat up a little straighter.

Like some kind of glass...or gemstone or something like that.

"I heard that you are looking for a rare gemstone and have been sending warning letters and stealing various gemstone collections for this reason. So, I brought you a, um, rather special gemstone. Come and take a look. ?”
