The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Who is here! Don't you know that this is the carriage of Princess Heart of Bridge, the Principality of Bridge?"

"We were ordered to disrupt this marriage. It will be in our interest only for the kingdom and the principality to maintain their past hatred."

The students who played the two soldiers on the stage performed the fight scene vigorously. Yuan Shan and Ye, who were sitting under the stage, curled their lips strangely.

"Why playing cards? What is the background of this story, Alice in Wonderland?" She looked around and whispered to Conan, who was sitting there without saying a word.

What could be the reason? The main reason is that the props Ms. Suzuki borrowed were costumes from the amusement park.

Hui Yuan Ai glanced at her, thought about it, and finally just gave a heavy "hmm".

What could she say? It was really a test of skill to say such a long paragraph in a different voice.

"Oh, that's it..." Touching his chin, Yuan Shan and Ye fell into deep thought, "Then it looks like this script is quite thoughtful."

Haihara Ai, knowing what might happen next, silently glanced at her side face.

Well, it does have some ideas... She was referring to Tang Ze.

With the music that heightened the atmosphere, all the guards guarding the princess fell, and the attackers took the princess away from the exquisite carriage.

Maybe it’s because the atmosphere was well-done, maybe because Mao Lilan, who was responsible for screaming at the crime scene, has a strong appeal. Seeing this, Toyama and Ye, who had a relaxed look on their faces and were just looking around, couldn’t help but become nervous. .

Black feathers fluttered downwards from the ceiling of the stage along with the mechanisms set up.

"Hey, it's a crow's feather. Could it be...ah——!"

Dressed in black, with a cape fluttering behind him, the knight jumped down from the high platform set up in the background. The sword in his hand flashed through a dazzling white light, like thunder that split the darkness, and hit the ground heavily.

"Wow, wow..." Even though he knew that it would definitely be the important character's turn to come to the rescue at this moment, Toyama Kazuya couldn't help but let out a small exclamation, "It's so cool. Tang Ze's performance is very good. Okay, it’s just like a real knight holding a sword and fighting.”

On the stage, the knight in black who landed on the ground raised his sword and waved it towards the attackers who held the princess hostage. Mouri Kogoro in the audience looked at him protecting the princess in costume behind him and clicked his tongue in displeasure: "Of course. It looks like it. Because it is a real sword without an edge."

Even if you understand that everything on stage is just an act, seeing a brat flirting with your daughter still makes you feel a little bit uncomfortable.

"Real sword?" Yuan Shan and Ye were stunned. They instinctively observed the actions of the male lead on the stage for a while, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

After the last meeting in Osaka, she asked Hattori Heiji about Karasawa's situation in detail - she had to find out who Heiji had met in Tokyo before she could tell whether he had met any strange women, right?

Because of this, she had heard that Tang Ze had learned fighting and had considerable force value.

Is this sword particularly heavy? I always feel that Karasawa is a little uncomfortable holding it...

"Okay, it looks very heavy. No wonder Miss Suzuki sprained her wrist." Toyama and Ye thought for a moment and had to convince themselves.

Of course...

Quietly watching everything happening on the stage, Haiyuan Ai turned his head and glanced at his side.

In the darkness of the auditorium, two men wearing hats found the empty seats next to them and sat down next to them.

Hui Yuan Ai pursed her lips, grabbed the edge of the stool tightly, raised her hands and couldn't help but rub the contours of her face, for fear that she couldn't control her muscles and the mask would not fit properly.

It was reaching the climax of the romance, and she was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold it back and would laugh out loud in advance, which would make the atmosphere inappropriate.

During the knight's fake attack, the attackers shouted ideas to stab their hands, oh no, they shouted that the attackers were powerful and they retreated.

Mao Lilan, who was hiding behind the knight, waited until the last actor disappeared behind the curtain on the opposite side, and continued to read the lines step by step: "You have saved me one after another, who are you? The unknown knight in black, if you are willing to satisfy Can my wish be..."

Before she could finish her next line, the knight standing in front of her turned around, raised his hand, and hugged her.

The hug was so forceful that Mao Lilan was almost lifted up from the ground and hurriedly grabbed the other person's arm.

The wide black cloak drew a semicircle behind the knight, and Mao Lilan's snow-white skirt also gently rotated under this embrace. Looking from top to bottom, the distinct black and white formed a complete circle.

Mao Lilan was stunned for a few seconds, and his mind went blank for a few seconds. After thinking about it, he whispered softly into the helmet on the side of his face: "Tang Ze, this part is not in the script. What happened?"

"This kid Karasawa—" Mouri Kogoro, whose blood pressure was rising, clenched his fists, stood up from his seat, and wanted to sprint towards the stage.

Toyama Kazuha, who had sharp eyes and quick hands, grabbed Mouri Kogoro's arm: "Hey uncle, we can't go up now, it's the climax!"

"He clearly promised well before...!"

The person hugging her made no move, and noticed the subtle commotion in the audience. Mao Lilan couldn't help but look towards the backstage in panic.

Suzuki Sonoko stood at the entrance to the backstage, waving the whiteboard in her hand vigorously, with the words "continue" written on it, as if she didn't feel that what happened on the stage was an accident beyond the plot.

This, Sonoko...

Could it be that Sonoko felt unhappy that the script had been modified, and temporarily colluded with Karasawa to create some more exaggerated explosive points...?

Mao Lilan cursed endlessly, but in front of hundreds of spectators in the auditorium, she breathed lightly and could only continue to perform the previous lines.

Before being suddenly embraced, there should have been a process of the knight revealing himself to the princess.

The princess should stretch out her hands to hold the knight's helmet and take it off. After seeing the other person's true face clearly, because of the familiar scars on his face, she was surprised to find that this knight was actually the prince she had been with since childhood.

But now, this link was interrupted by the other party's affectionate hug. She estimated the time and had no choice but to skip the previous part and slightly changed the lines: "Could it be that you are actually a spade? Unexpectedly, you were beaten by my father You, who was cut off between the eyebrows and driven out of the courtyard by the king, are actually the prince of the poker kingdom..."

Hey, this is really a mess.

While talking, Mao Lilan tensed her insteps in embarrassment.

Haven't you seen Prince Wei's face at all? This line doesn't fit the plot at all.

It's over, how should we naturally take off the knight's helmet next, or should we wait until the kiss scene is over and let Karasawa take off the helmet himself...

Feeling annoyed, Mao Lilan still kept a happy smile dutifully on her face, and gently stood on tiptoe: "If you haven't forgotten our past agreement, please prove it on my lips... "

She hooked the knight's collar, which was embroidered with gorgeous patterns, and raised her head towards the other person's lips, preparing to get closer according to the rehearsed script, and then use a rotation to complete the borrowing action.

As she got closer, a slight doubt flashed through her mind.

Strange, did she wear higher heels today? Why does it feel like getting close to Karasawa's face is much easier than during previous rehearsals...

Standing behind the empty stands on the second floor of the auditorium, Tang Ze watched this scene with interest and bumped the person standing next to him with his shoulder.

"How's it going? Isn't it quite fun?" Using a voice that was not his own, Tang Ze had a cheerful smile on his face, "I told you, today will be very interesting."

"Shh, don't make any noise." Belmode, who was knocked to the ground and tilted, glanced sideways at him, regained control of the cell phone in camera mode in his hand, and pointed it squarely at the men and women on the stage.

Well, it was indeed a bit unkind to hide it from angel in advance and let the two of them directly perform the kissing scene.

But thinking about it, this seemed to have given her the opportunity to record the first kiss of the two children, and the kind smile on her face suddenly appeared again.

"Hey, control it." Tangze, who was hiding in the darkness, rolled his eyelids. "It's really weird for you to smile like this with this face."

Belmode choked back without mercy: "Shut up, you won't do any better if you roll your eyes with this face, okay?"

"Nonsense, he obviously often..."

"Ah ah--"

A high-decibel scream resounded throughout the auditorium just a second before the boy and girl on the stage were about to kiss.

The auditorium converted from the school's basketball court is a tall and closed space, and the sharp sounds seem to be amplified by the echo wall, constantly echoing in the venue.

Coupled with the pitch-black scene, the atmosphere of horror suddenly became full.

Walking to the railing in two steps, the eyes behind the contact lens turned to the red Tang Ze and looked down, clearly seeing the human body that was marked and fell to the ground.

He couldn't help but shook his head regretfully.

It's not that he doesn't want to do something in advance to let Kudo Shinichi finish his mouthful at the same time, but there really isn't much he can do.

The victim is indeed a shadowy figure, but the murderer had already made up his mind on the night when Mao Lilan and Conan were rushed to the hospital after experiencing an explosion.

Considering that the murderer's motive was a tragedy that had already occurred, Tang Ze had always lacked the stance and motivation to intervene in this type of justice execution case.

Not to mention, they were still being beaten to the ground by Moritani Teiji's large Titanoid.

"It looks like someone is dead." Tang Ze turned around, looked at Belmode who was walking over, and whispered, "I look like..."

Seeing the expression on Belmod's face clearly, Tangze's voice gradually became smaller and quieter.

This face is clouded, and the next second I want to take out a gun and kill all the people who caused trouble...

It was better not to reveal the identity of the murderer in advance. He was afraid that Belmode would not be able to control his emotions and cause a new murder.

"Calm down, calm down, Kudo Shinichi will not show such a scary expression." Karasawa patted her shoulder and grabbed her shoulder to prevent her from hurting others.

Belmode, who had come back to his senses, snorted and pushed away Karasawa's hand. Looking at the knight in black who turned to protect Mao Lilan behind him, he regretfully took back his phone.

Sometimes, she feels a little annoyed about Cool Guy, whose life is constantly disturbed by various murder cases.

As a detective, frequent cases can certainly help him gain fame faster, but I believe that not only himself, but also all the people close to him, such as Angel, should be deeply affected...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at the people around her, and then looked down at the crowded audience, trying to figure out the situation.

Well, when it comes to this, it seems hard to say.

Perhaps for this small auditorium, there are four detectives among the three to four hundred people. The concentration is really too high, and it can't be justified without any problems...

"Let's go." After shaking his head for a while, Belmode tugged on the hat on his head, "Isn't that why we came here for this moment? It's time to go down."

————

"The deceased was 28-year-old Kamata Kohei, a doctor at Mihua General Hospital. He suddenly collapsed while watching a drama..." After thinking this, Megure Thirteen turned his head and glanced at the woman beside him, "That's right. Bar?"

"Yes, he suddenly bent over and showed a very painful expression. Before I could ask a question, he..." The woman looked at the ferocious face of the man who fell to the ground and sighed regretfully.

"Could it be the problem with this drink?" After placing the evidence tag, Takagi Wataru picked up the paper cup on the ground, "It's almost finished."

"I don't know, I was concentrating on watching a stage play at the time..." The woman recalled for a moment, but still shook her head.

"Then what was the approximate time when he fell?" Mumu Shisan turned to the witness and continued to ask.

"I'm not sure, but anyway, it should be after two o'clock when the play starts." The woman looked at the time for a while, her tone hesitant.

"It's two forty, Officer Megure."

Hearing the determined voice behind him, Mumu Shisan turned his head, and a face that had been modified with makeup to look more refined, but still instantly recognizable, came into view.

"Xiaolan, oh, yes, Didan High School, this is your school, right?" Mumu Shisan suddenly nodded, "Did you see the time when this person got into trouble?"

"I was performing on stage at the time." Mao Lilan lifted up her skirt helplessly and gestured to the heavy costume on her body. "Our play has been rehearsed many times. In order to match the scenery of the prop team, the time It was all very clear. When the screaming happened, it happened to be the climax of the midfield scene."

As she spoke, she turned her head and glanced at the silent knight beside her: "You can be sure of this, right, Karasawa?"

The person beside her didn't speak, and one could only tell from the direction of his helmet that he lowered his head after she spoke, as if he was observing the deceased who fell to the ground.

"Since Xiaolan is here, then that man must have..." Mumu Shisan narrowed his eyes and looked around.

"Oh? Are you looking for someone from the police department?" Mouri Kogoro, who was standing in the inner circle of the crowd, also looked around.

"...I'm just looking for you." With an expectedly clear expression, Megure Thirteen made way for Mouri Kogoro to come closer.

He knew that if this happened, the detective would definitely not be absent.

"Where's Brother Mingzhi?" To be cautious, Mumu Thirteen looked around again and confirmed, "I remember that your relationship with him is okay. Could it be that you also invited him over?"

"Oh, he seems to be saying that he has something to do and he can't arrive until four o'clock... What's wrong, do you think Akechi needs to participate in this case?" Mouri Kogoro looked over in confusion.

"That's good, that's good..." He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Mumu Shisan straightened his back again, "It's okay, let's check the situation first."

There's only one detective, so the situation shouldn't be too complicated...

"Police Department, the cause of death has been confirmed. It is..."

"Potassium cyanide." Takagi Wataru's words were directly interrupted by the voice behind him.

Takagi turned his head and saw a young man in white pants, a black shirt, and a peaked cap that covered his face. He slowly walked over the obstruction of the folding chair and walked closer.

"He probably died from eating potassium cyanide."

"Huh? Why, have you come into contact with the corpse in advance?" He frowned and looked over displeased.

He also thought that the citizens of Tokyo already had a lot of experience in dealing with emergencies. Except for the detectives who came in and out of their crime scenes all day long, no one would destroy them casually.

Didn't you see that the witnesses sitting next to the deceased, after confirming that the deceased had stopped breathing, took the initiative to retreat without hesitation, and consciously formed a circle around the scene?

"It can be easily distinguished without contact." The boy with his hands in his pockets shrugged, "This eldest brother is obviously suspected of being poisoned, but the corners of his mouth and fingernails are pink. Symptoms of potassium cyanide poisoning, Including affecting the blood oxygen in the body of the deceased, showing a ruddy state of hypoxia."

As he spoke, he raised his chin: "Looking at the forensic doctor's appearance, I guessed it right."

"Well, he did die from cyanide poisoning." The medical examiner holding the record folder nodded.

"You know it so clearly. Could it be that you were sitting very close at that time?" Mumu Shisan looked at this inexplicably confident young man and picked up the note-taking notebook again.

"That's not true. I'm sitting in the eighth row, which is far away from here." Shaking his head, the young man pointed to the child wearing a bow tie in the crowd, "That little brother can testify for me. Right?"

"It's Conan." Megure Thirteen looked over and nodded, "Then you are actually sitting next to Brother Maori?"

"That's right." The young man nodded, took a breath, and pinched the brim of his hat.

Well, although I still don’t understand what that guy’s plan is… But Kudo, so far, has no plans to confess to Miss Ran.

Then his ability to make opinions is not superfluous.

Secretly cheering himself up, Hattori Heiji pulled off the hat on his head, shook his head, and smiled confidently at them.

"It's been too long since I've been back, have you forgotten about me? I am none other than Kudo Shinichi!"

————

"Pah, pah, pah..."

Tang Ze raised his head and looked at Belmode who was applauding softly behind him without knowing why.

This play has just started, why are they applauding? People like you are booed in the theater, okay?

"This is the kid named Hattori Heiji, right? Your previous judgment was indeed accurate, Kumel." Belmod looked back with approval, "Even if he didn't know it beforehand, he instinctively made the right decision. Cool guy’s best choice.”

Maybe he was impulsive, maybe he lacked forethought, but he was indeed exactly the kind of friend and assistant Kudo Shinichi needed.

Keeping him alive, or even protecting his safety, is indeed a good choice.

Tang Ze finally figured out her logic: "..."

Nonsense, I don't quite understand your logic of mixing wine with godmothers. If you want to praise, just praise, don't take me with you.
