The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

Tangze was able to determine who was in that car without even taking a second look.

Andrey Kamel, and Shuichi Akai.

I didn’t take Judy with me, but I brought the driver with me after all, so it shouldn’t be a very covert tracking mission...

That's right, because of the hatred value of his face, Akai Shuichi will now be more accustomed to using the identity of model shop owner Iwai Munehisa when he goes to follow him. Although he looks like he is not easy to mess with, at least he can act in front of Amuro Tohru. It's been a day or two.

"It seems that their car encountered an accident." After glancing at Kamel's expression, Karasawa adjusted his body to block Mouri Kogoro's view of the oncoming vehicle, "Forget it, Uncle Mouri, they are not either on purpose."

"Really..." Although he was still very unhappy, Mouri Kogoro moved his hand away from the car window button.

He glanced sideways in that direction again, turned his head to confirm that the two children sitting in the back seat were okay, and then slowly stepped on the accelerator: "If you encounter an accident, you should give an early warning, and at least you should report to those involved. Please apologize..."

Mouri Kogoro muttered as he rejoined the traffic flow. Karasawa glanced at the parked vehicles in the rearview mirror and turned his eyes away as if nothing had happened.

The FBI's operation against Belmode has been launched, and the two parties have begun to fight against each other.

Regardless of his actions, this is a good thing that can temporarily divert the attention of both parties from himself and give him sufficient space to act.

So, continue to fight, fight more intensely, and use some special effects to conceal their private direction of action.

"Well, that man just now..." Mao Lilan, who was almost stabbed by her pen, was still frightened. She finally put down the book, recalled the face that flashed in her sight, and muttered, "Strange, I always feel like I saw him somewhere. It’s been a while…”

"Hey, do you think so too, Sister Xiaolan?" Conan, who was still thinking hard, turned his head.

"Yes, it seems to be at school, or somewhere..." Mao Lilan trimmed her hair and slowly recalled, "Have you seen him near the office?"

————

Watching Mouri Kogoro's vehicle drive away, Akai Shuichi sat in the back seat of the car and remained silent without saying a word.

After several minutes, Kamel, who was busy in the driver's seat, finally said, "Well, there are no other bugs."

"What happened to the car? Where was it tampered with?" Akai Hide nodded and asked.

"It suddenly stalled. It should have been tampered with somewhere in the engine. Mr. Akai, I think it's a bit risky to act rashly like this." Kamel looked at the warning sign beating on the instrument panel, feeling a little frightened.

Although they had made complete preparations, changing tires and brake pads every day, and even filling the fuel tank with only a small amount of gasoline, they always drove at a very controlled speed to prevent the other party from causing a more serious car accident. It would be a lie to say that he was not worried at all.

After all, this is a means of transportation that needs to be taken frequently. Once something goes wrong, it is likely to be life-threatening, so he is not completely without doubts about Akai Shuichi's decision.

But it turns out that Akai Shuichi's judgment has always been accurate...and the same goes for that boy Karasawa.

Perhaps this is what Judy lamented, the so-called "precise intuition like a beast that seems to be innate".

"I trust Karasawa's judgment. The recent events are enough to prove it." Shuichi Akai's expression did not waver, and he said as if he was speaking matter-of-factly, "Belmode did not notify the organization of the FBI's actions. She had other plans."

After discovering that Bellmode had stolen all the files related to Kogoro Mouri in the Metropolitan Police archives, according to the original plan, they should send an action team in Japan to conduct a detailed investigation around Kogoro Moori to ensure that Bell could be grasped. Mod's movements.

This was a move that was in line with professional habits and common action logic. However, Tang Ze contacted them and gave them completely opposite opinions.

"Keep your team members far away from the office, preferably not even close to 2-chome, Brother Shuichi." Standing in the back of the model shop, Karasawa said confidently in a very determined tone, "Belmod only It took a short time to determine Shirley's location. She didn't actually need to conduct any investigation. This matter itself was the bait to lure you out. She wanted to find you and your main activities in Tokyo. Stronghold, find out your details."

Regarding Belmod's defection for Shirley, and even giving up his current identity and social status, Xiying's reason for coming to Japan. After he was exposed, Karasawa, who successfully used his replacement identity to enter the organization undercover, gave a explanation that was beyond them. Imagine the answer.

"What Belmode wants to do is contrary to the main goal of the organization. She is worried that if someone else tracks Shirley and discovers her whereabouts, Shirley will be brought back to the organization alive. This is her intolerable.

"She will not report any of her findings to the organization, and will only selectively share information with members of the organization who have reached a cooperative relationship with her. Calvados, who has made it clear that he is completely on her side, and her existence Kumel, who has some kind of agreed relationship, and Bourbon, who has no conflict of interest with her for the time being and also has many small thoughts... no more than these three people."

Although Karasawa's opinion was very unexpected, after discussion, Akai Shuichi still chose to believe his opinion.

"He is the one standing at the forefront now." This is the reason given by Shuichi Akai.

"Although I also think that he is indeed a genius in intelligence, but if his judgment is wrong, with our operational power in Japan, we will not be able to compete with the organization." Judy, who actually also recognizes Karasawa's personal abilities , still can’t help but worry.

She has been chasing Belmod's shadow for so long that all the old events have become like yellowed publications, gradually taking on a vague color that makes her even shaken.

This was the closest she had come to success, and she didn't dare to take any risks.

"He only started working undercover after my identity was exposed. He has already come into contact with the most mysterious Belmode, rescued the Miyano sisters, and the research progress of some parts of the organization has begun to slow down..." Shuichi Akai looked at her, subtext It's obvious.

There were some things that a rye whiskey worker who worked step by step from the grassroots level would not be able to touch in six years, but Karasawa used a precise shortcut to complete them all in a few months.

Although this was assisted by many off-field factors, and Tangze was not an ordinary person, this was still a dazzling achievement, dazzling enough to begin to shake the foundation of this behemoth organization.

"It's unimaginable." After sending the message, Kamel leaned on his seat and looked at the gloomy sky outside the car. Seeing the sky was about to rain, he couldn't help but sigh, "Belmod really didn't tell us about our appearance. Report it up."

"His predictions and judgments about people's behavior are rarely wrong." Shuichi Akai said with certainty.

Thinking of the equally extraordinary intelligence, Kudo Shinichi has successfully detected the identity problem of Judy and Belmod, and even though he has become a child, he has not given up his scientific research ability. He is working day and night on antidotes and cracking various medicines organized by the organization. Product by Miyano Shiho.

In the end, these persecuted children themselves resisted the tremendous pressure and found a way out for themselves. They are all outstanding young people...

Not realizing that Akai Shuichi, who was smiling in the back row, was lamenting something, Kamel scratched his head and asked an even more puzzling question: "Moreover, our stronghold on Shibuya Central Street has never been exposed."

At first, he thought that this stronghold could only be used temporarily, and it was unnecessary to spend too much energy on arranging Iwai Munehisa's identity and background.

You know, when Tang Ze goes in and out of the model shop, he never even puts on a disguise. When he comes to see them for something, he usually comes right after school after school.

...and even occasionally brought along the elementary school student whose true identity was basically confirmed to be Kudo Shinichi.

His various behaviors can no longer be described as blatant. They are simply lawless and extremely arrogant. He almost has the words "I have a problem" written on his face.

As a result, the result really did not arouse anyone's suspicion. Even Iwai Munehisa, a character who suddenly appeared in Karasawa's circle, seemed to have his presence covered by his inexplicably wide social circle.

How on earth is this done?

The first time he assisted a lurking colleague on an errand, Kamal was puzzled as the task ended before it even started.

"You think he is suspicious because you know his identity in advance. When Karasawa goes to Shibuya, he always spends more than an hour visiting various shops, buying drinks, snacks, books, and even some gifts regularly ..." Shuichi Akai, who had really reimbursed some documents for Karasawa that were really difficult to pay, pursed his lips and said, "It's not surprising at all to spend time in a model shop occasionally."

If you think about it for a moment, if he were Gin or Belmode, even if he spent a whole day watching Karasawa's movements throughout the day, he would feel that this kid was really idle, like a guy who had never seen the world and was out to show off. Likewise, he had to look around for everything, and it was really difficult to distinguish from so many distractions which was his true purpose of action.

At best, it can be said to be a strange hobby.

————

Coincidentally, Ireland, who was following Mouri Kogoro's car, really thought so.

When it came to tracking people around the clock, the organization didn't think so, but someone actually did it. At the end of the day, he almost stepped on the floor tiles in Shibuya, and he didn't realize what he was doing.

"He's running out to play again. What the hell is wrong with this kid Kumail?" Ireland, who was stuck in the vast traffic in Tokyo, cursed through gritted teeth as he moved step by step.

After deciding to start investigating Bourbon and Kumail, Ireland has had a very difficult time these days.

Bourbon was so easy to follow that he no longer bothered to follow him because he felt like he couldn't figure out the reason.

Get up at 6 o'clock every day for morning exercise, and sometimes feed familiar stray dogs on the roadside;

At 7 o'clock, I finish cleaning up my apartment and go to Polo Cafe. Sometimes I'll block Kumel, who hasn't gone to school yet, and talk for a while, and sometimes I won't have any contact at all and just clean up and go to work like a normal waiter;

If he goes out after 12 o'clock, he will most likely go to the detective agency he and Kumail jointly open to receive some ordinary clients and clean the mailbox;

After get off work, I go back to the apartment, cook, eat, change my clothes and go to various places to stay until midnight if I have work, and stay at home if I don't have work.

The other 20% besides 80% are doing takeout, working part-time jobs, going to various restaurants and bars...

He understands the truth. As an intelligence officer, Bourbon does not have to go into battle in person unless the mission requires it. Many problems can be solved with a phone call.

But this unshakable routine is like an NPC with a planned course of action in its mind. Are you a member of the organization or some kind of retired man?

After just a few days of tracking him, Ireland's target turned to Kumel, and then they desperately discovered that this kid was the other extreme.

Sometimes, as Goro Akechi, he solves some cases, contacts clients, and even goes to TV stations to appear on shows, and signs autographs and takes photos for fans; sometimes he wanders around, eats and drinks, and stays in Shibuya or Shinjuku all night; Sometimes it seems like I just have a lot of free time, walking around, fishing, playing darts, playing baseball...

Compared to Bourbon, who never loses, Kumail is the type who often loses, but Ireland fully suspects that the reason for losing is not that Kumail is doing something secretly, but simply because he is doing something unpredictable. Brownian motion is really difficult to follow.

These days, Ireland even prays from time to time that the organization can come up with some tasks quickly. He really doesn't want to take a vacation. Seeing this pair of bosses and subordinates gives him a headache.

"Where are we going..." Ireland looked at the butt of the car in front of him, grinding his teeth silently, "We are about to leave the city..."

————

Don't tell me, don't tell me, Tang Ze and his companions' destination is indeed not in the city.

As for why I made a special trip to Kanagawa Prefecture to eat Chinese food, I can only ask the amazing Xiaolan.

The only thing to blame is this eyebrow pencil restaurant. Why did it come to Mihua Town to hold a lottery.

Karasawa, who had no idea how much pain he was causing others by faithfully performing his daily routine as the Phantom Thief of Heart, looked at the restaurant in front of him with interest.

——By the way, Ireland was unable to detect anything unusual about Toru Amuro, mainly because Toru Amuro usually planned a planned route when he ran to the Zero Team, such as going to a bar or shopping mall near the Metropolitan Police Department to move around, or driving in a car The car takes a relatively hidden rear exit and takes a shortcut that normal people would not take.

Karasawa had no curiosity about Chinese restaurants in Japan. He was mainly curious about the prisoners.

If the case is the one in his memory, then the murderer of today's case is also a type of artist with abnormal circuits... Why would he say that?

"Ah? Does this meal coupon have to be limited to a limited time period and food?" Mao Lilan, the big winner, frowned and turned the paper in his hand over and over, and finally found two rows of needle-sized ones on the back. The small print left me speechless for a while.

Having won so many prizes, she has seen businesses that do this kind of thing, but they are usually large-ticket projects, such as free tickets for luxury goods, or expensive travel, etc., and they have turned it into a restaurant like this. It’s the first time I’ve seen him.

"No way, then isn't this trip in vain?" Mouri Kogoro patted his head, looked at his watch, and was speechless.

It took a lot of time to drive all the way from home to here. It would be a huge loss if we didn't get to eat.

"Maybe this is a sales strategy." Tang Ze analyzed calmly, "First, distribute free coupons in relatively distant areas to attract people to come. After you actually arrive at the scene, I will tell you that you can't use it for the time being. They have come, Most people are too embarrassed to turn around and leave..."

"How can it still be like this..." Mouri Kogoro looked at his serious expression and couldn't help but start to think along this logic, "So if you put it this way, the food here must be terrible? After all, it is delicious. There is no need to use this kind of sales method in the store, tables need to be reserved.”

Smelling the air that smelled faintly of miso, Karasawa gave a thumbs up in approval.

Miso-flavored Chinese restaurants, although he knew that all restaurants in Japan were miso-flavored, but miso-flavored Chinese restaurants...

I have to say that this episode has the highest level of reasoning by Kogoro Mori.

"Guest, this..." The front desk person standing in front of several people was so crowded that he broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't dare to accept such heart-wrenching remarks, so he had to continue bowing, "We have indeed written the rules on the back of the coupon. , I'm very sorry. If it doesn't work, I'll contact the store manager..."

"Ah, this sir." Just as Mouri Kogoro's eyes slowly brightened up after gathering the wool, a greeting came from behind him, "If you don't mind, do you want to dine with us? Of course. , we are here to treat you."

Mouri Kogoro turned back suspiciously and looked up and down at the man standing behind them.

A man with a big chest, a round waist and a double chin, or, to put it mildly, a man of medium build, with a mustache on his chin, and an indescribable oiliness... The suit he wears does not look cheap.

Did you recognize yourself? Yes, he can indeed be considered a semi-household celebrity now.

Mouri Kogoro, who had become a little bit more like a famous detective, straightened his tie, held his head high, and prepared to communicate with the other party in a more reserved manner.

"Okay." Without hesitation, Tang Ze agreed and said bluntly, "If there are five people, do you want to change to a larger table?"

As he spoke, he winked at Conan.

Conan looked at the person, then at Mouri Kogoro's face, and immediately understood.

Yes, it's generally not a good person to suddenly invite a detective to dinner or something. It's often because he wants to use the detective's reputation to forge an alibi.

——Besides this aspect, the detective’s reputation seems to have no other advantages, right?

So Conan also grabbed the hesitant Mao Lilan and said loudly: "Thank you, uncle, for inviting us to dinner. Can we also order some food, uncle?"

Tang Ze nodded, glanced at the person behind him, and smiled empathetically.

Isn't it because someone is trying to kill someone who makes so many excuses?

Come on, let’s help you change to a big table with a turntable to help you!

Sort out the organizational progress and persecute Ireland at the same time. It’s funny.
