The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Did you fill in your wishes on that website?" Thinking of what Yuan Shan and Ye mentioned before, Conan's brows slowly wrinkled.

When I mentioned this website before, it was obvious that no one took this kind of online wishing seriously.

...After all, compared with the Phantom Thieves of Heart, who have been active on the news page and have a strong sense of presence, nothing has been reported on this website. Some people have really realized their ideals and fulfilled their wishes by making wishes. The sound of wind.

But what if the reason why there is no such rumor is that the group of people who successfully realized their wishes are unable to announce these things to the public due to various reasons?

The calm-looking Iso Kaizo lowered his head, glanced at the child, and did not resist telling the truth. He explained: "Yes, I waited until 12 midnight according to what they said, and then I saw those I thought it would be a good idea to give it a try, so I wrote on the page that I wanted Kawabata to pay the price for his actions."

"Then you received that bottle?" Karasawa chose a nickname because he was worried that the police and Mouri Kogoro were still nearby.

"...Yes." Iso Kaizo breathed out, but nodded and admitted.

Conan's brows furrowed even more tightly: "How did you receive it specifically? Is it an express package?"

"I don't know, but just two days after I wrote my wish, it was placed in front of my door. It was packed in an ordinary corrugated box, without any receipt, but there was a sheet explaining what was inside. A note about something..."

When Iso Kaizo said this, he shifted his weight uneasily.

Now, after he has given up committing crime, he still feels uneasy when he has to go back and explain step by step how he made this choice and describe his experiences in detail.

Looking at the two children standing in front of him, he sighed after a moment of hesitation.

Forget it, just think of it as the price of making a mistake.

"I was worried that this was some kind of prank, or that someone had sent it to the wrong address, and had taken it back for a few days, but no one came to claim it. As a result, a few days later, when Kawabata announced the candidate for the female lead in the new movie, he pretended to take out Liva Some photos on the set, talking about remembrance and regret in front of the camera..."

After Iso Kaizo said this, he closed his mouth. The beating blood vessels and bulging muscles on the side of his cheeks fully expressed his uneasiness.

Even now, when I recall that scene, the uncontrollable malice surges up again.

After spending a few seconds adjusting, he skipped the arrangement part and talked directly about the results: "Anyway, within two days, I took some samples from the bottle and entrusted them to a friend to go to the laboratory for identification. After confirming that it was cyanide, I made a plan to kill Kawabata.”

Tang Ze calmly listened to his thoughts and looked at Conan silently.

From his story, it seems that the fact that he received a sufficient amount of poison after making a wish did not have any decisive impact on his subsequent actions. It seems that he cannot make strong contact with the website about killing people.

But things are often not as simple as either/or, and people often do not act according to strict logic.

With a sharp weapon in hand, the murderous intention arises. The trace amount of cyanide is enough to cause death. It is a very strong hint, like a black hole, which continuously attracts and compresses the surrounding emotions in its direction, and finally condenses into the only possibility.

Iso Kaizo, who had already developed a violent temper, made his final choice driven by this power.

Iso Kaizo, who was unaware of the two people's thoughts, slowly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled after finishing these words.

"After I really said it, I suddenly felt much more relaxed." Iso Kaizo patted his forehead and laughed loudly, "In the end, I was actually saved by another website... It's really interesting, fate can actually do it. It echoes from beginning to end.”

"...If this part is made into a movie, I think I will watch it." Tang Ze looked at his emotional expression and said suddenly.

Iso Kaizo looked at him steadily for a few seconds.

All the conversations that took place in the bathroom were only known to the two of them present.

This young man named Tang Ze was obviously not just what he mentioned. He just went to another website and posted a post.

That state of speaking, coupled with the smooth and methodical movements...

"Anyway, thank you." After the silence, Iso Kaizo smiled and simply said, "However, if I really make this episode into a movie on a whim, do you mind if I make it up a little bit?"

Karasawa, who didn't know if he understood his secret message, smiled and tilted his head, his fluffy hair falling down smoothly, as if those sharp aggressions were just an illusion of Iso Kaizo.

"Anyway, it was just a private conversation, as you wish, Mr. Director."

The unknown third person present was currently hiding on the hospital bed with the curtains drawn in the clinic. He touched his cheek with his fingertips and let out a slight "hiss".

The sound of "Peng" closing the door was heard, and half a minute later, the blue curtains around the bed were opened by someone.

"If you don't give me a proper reason and interfere with my mission... you know my style, Ireland." The blonde in a white coat frowned deeply and looked at the guy leaning on the bed with a very serious look on her face. gloomy.

All her energy now has to be spent on Shirley's problem. The relentless FBI and the scheming Bourbon have caused her too much trouble. She really doesn't want to see any other colleagues at this time. .

Neither side works.

"Don't be so unkind, I do have something to ask for." Ireland rubbed his shoulder that might have been bruised, looked at Belmod's face for a while, and couldn't help but feel a subtle disappointment, "I don't know. With your current disguise, there is no need to take off your disguise to see me, right?"

Belmode was a difficult guy to deal with, and he really didn't want to have any conflicts with her if possible.

But at this critical juncture, he must first confirm who are allies and who are destined to be on the opposite side. As the spokesperson who best represents the top management of the organization, Belmode has to take this risk.

"Now that you know what I'm doing, you should understand that coming into contact with my fake identity now will cause me trouble. I don't want people to see Tomaki Shinde in contact with a foreigner who behaves suspiciously." Belmod curled his lips, but his eyes were still sinister, "Just tell me, I don't promise to help you."

If it's just some simple requests that don't affect her actions, and if the other party is relatively easy to communicate with among her colleagues, she will consider assisting appropriately.

——As long as you don't interfere with her mission.

Now, she has to find a way to take Shirley away, and at the same time, she has to find a way to stop the FBI from harassing her. More importantly, she has to hide Shirley's true status in the organization. She needs to clean up and pay attention to it. There are already enough details, and I don’t want to add new troubles to myself.

"I need a false identity, my face is exposed." Ireland touched the slightly swollen wound on the cheekbone, "You only need to help me this one thing."

Belmod raised his eyebrows, glanced at the thin but deep wounds on his face, and then glanced at the bit of purple exposed on his collar, and finally laughed for real.

"...Ireland, I don't think I need to warn you a second time." Just looking at the fighting style, she could roughly guess what happened, and said meaningfully, "Don't you think that I am advising you to leave?" Kumail stays away, is he afraid that you will hurt him?"

Before coming to Yoneka Town, she had read through Kumel's information and also watched some video content that Gin had personally checked.

If she was confused by Kumail's weak body shape and his youth and misjudged his fighting ability, the result would probably be the unlucky guy in front of her.

"I don't necessarily mean to be an enemy of him." Ireland retorted stiffly with a cold face, "I'm just trying my best to collect information."

No matter what, what he really wanted to deal with was gin.

There are many complicated reasons for Pisco's death, but no one can deny that the elderly veteran Pisco was chosen to complete the assassination mission, and Gin must have been involved in it.

Before the incident happened, because Kumail made a request to the organization that he wanted to kill his father, the senior management, who was already dissatisfied with Tonguchi Shigehiko because of Kumail's past burial, had already made some plans.

Soon after, Tunkou Zhongyan made a huge mistake and completely became a waste that the organization needed to eradicate. Therefore, a plan to follow the trend was born.

When he heard the news, he was initially angry with Kumail, a willful lunatic. He even took the risk of affecting the other party's disguised identity and expressed provocation and warning to him.

However, when the organization really chose Pisco to do this, to become the outcast who attracted the joker's firepower and tested the opponent's true ability, he still couldn't help but feel a chill in his teeth, and seemed to see those green eyes emerging from the void. A cold mockery from the mid-range cast.

The already old Pisco, in Gin's eyes, was originally a blood-sucking insect that was of no use to the organization. When he handed the scepter to Pisco's hand, Gin's expression must have been as cold as looking at a dead person. And ignore it.

"I hope you know what you are doing." Belmode squinted his eyes and studied his expression for a while, and slowly came up with some ideas. He took out an iodine bottle from his pocket and threw it away, "Disinfect and clean the wound. Kumail has a habit of applying tiny amounts of toxins on the inside of his nails. If they become too swollen, the nails will become deformed."

Ireland misjudged Kumail's ability, but Belmode, who has been in contact with the opponent for a long time, would not think so.

Kumail is someone who can see through her disguise at a glance. She is a very lethal blade that cannot be fooled by simple means. Even if Ireland is disguised, Kumail will not be fooled. would cause substantial obstacles.

But with the interference of Ireland, it is a good option to create a little chaos for Kumail and Bourbon to hold on until they can catch Shirley.

"One last piece of advice." When he stretched out his hand and began to use touch to estimate Ireland's facial data, Bermod said softly, "Don't disturb Kumail when he is still 'Aki Karasawa', you don't want to know when he goes crazy. What it’s really like.”

————

It may be a mystery what Kumel looks like when he goes crazy, but the Phantom Thieves have already seen how Karasawa goes crazy.

"Are you crazy, ah? Are you crazy?" Tang Ze wiped off the concealer on his face, completely exposing a pair of dark circles under his eyes. He cursed and smeared on the paper in front of him with a pencil, "This is what they can do The method you came up with to collect will power? Why don’t you just ask Gin to open a website to take orders and kill people?”

"Well, it's not incomprehensible..." Naomi Asai, who wanted to complain about working overtime, looked at Karasawa's eyes wide open and muttered something, and couldn't help but move away, "You said it, the organization What they want is definitely not a positive image. Being a mysterious mastermind who directs crimes would also suit their needs."

"Yes, and although the people in the organization cannot really enter the cognitive world, they are convinced that that world exists and must have gone through some planning." Miyano Akemi also comforted, "Don't forget, Now, almost all of the only scholars in the world who are engaged in cognitive histology-related research are in their hands."

"Yes, I think they might, after studying our current situation, also think that it is a very good idea to use the Internet to manipulate public emotions." Xingchuan Hui, who was brushing Noah's rag doll, gestured. After looking at the doll in his hand, "Hiroki Sawada completed the creation of Noah within the control of the organization. Combined with their existing programmer reserves, it is not that difficult to achieve a similar effect."

The Phantom Thief CH, as the most direct way for the Phantom Thieves to contact the general public, can not only provide information and monitor the wind direction, but more importantly, it is a one-way transparent glass.

The members of the Phantom Thieves, with the help of Noah, can easily locate specific people, and can use the assistance of cognitive world to quickly determine the authenticity of language. In addition, the several of them have developed more and more proficient business abilities. The Phantom Thieves The group can have the influence it has today.

And can organizations do these things?

Their personal abilities are definitely not as sufficient as those of the Phantom Thieves. On the premise that there are no second or fifth generation in this world, the Phantom Thieves' monopoly on the cognitive world is also absolute.

However, the research and discovery of cognitive mythology were all completed after the Karasawa couple's organizational investment. Noah's Ark was squeezed by Sindora at that time and became Party B's Sawada Hiroki, who wrote it under the watchful eye of the organization. , and was later used by the organization and Sindora Company for many years.

After all, you said that their technical reserves come entirely from the organization, which makes sense. It is unexpected and reasonable for the organization to want to reproduce a dark wishing channel or something.

Tang Ze understands the truth, but it doesn't stop Tang Ze from being angry.

"If they hadn't come here to cause trouble for me at this time, I might have praised them for keeping up with the trend of the times. The problem is..." Tang Ze raised his head and pointed at his sleep-deprived eyes with the tip of his pen, "But... At this time, someone wants to steal business!"

You didn't come early, you didn't come late, but you just came to fight for my life when I was going all out to play the rematch, right?

"And don't forget, compared to them, we are the one who is closer to the bright side and can't tolerate flaws." Tangze grinned and narrated clearly, "We are the good people under everyone's gaze. , a hero is an existence destined to receive more scrutiny."

This is the nature of the masses, or in other words, human nature.

The more they want to expand their popularity, the more they need the subconscious support of more people, and the less they can destroy the divinity of the Phantom Thieves' logo. Although they have actually helped many people, it is still not difficult to make this image collapse.

Not to mention anything else, just dig out their true bodies and release them outside. With their current composition, the image of the Phantom Thieves is destined to disappear.

"Not to mention, in comparison, their side is an easier and simpler choice. No conditions, no reasons, encouraging depravity, extremes and indulgence, this is comparable to having a pair of eyes always hanging above your head, it sounds like It's much more attractive." Tangze added while grinding his back molars.

Lying down is easier than trying hard, and sliding down is easier than climbing up.

Even if it is not in this world full of martial arts, there may be more secretive, darker and self-centered "wishing stations" when people also believe in their power.

"So, what do you mean now...?" After listening to Karasawa's description, Asai Narumi, who felt that he might have an idea, asked directly.

"As I said before, find a typical example to teach people a profound lesson." Tang Ze stopped writing and slowly tore off the sketched paper in front of him. "The more this time, the more we should let everyone People know that when you do bad things, you have to pay a price. Then, we have to properly expose some of the hidden things."

He slowly pushed the sketch in his hand to the center of the table.

"This is..." After looking down for a while, Shimabukuro Kimie let out a light sigh, "Professor Moritani?"

She also graduated from Tokyo University, so she was very familiar with this professor who was quite famous in the art world.

"Yes, his invitation has already started, so it's our turn to play." Tangze nodded, picked up his phone, and took a picture of another sketch he had drawn.

Then I edited the email.

【Do you know this guy? I was attacked by this man today, and he seemed to know my identity.

If he is from the organization, tell me who he is, if he is not...]

After making a meaningful ellipsis, Tangze clicked the send button and smiled with a row of gleaming teeth.

You like to steal people's business, right? You like to cause trouble for others, right?

Then stop living!
