The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

As soon as Mouri Kogoro walked in carrying large and small bags of vegetables and returned home, he was greeted by the gazes of high school students sitting in a row on the sofa in the office.

In an instant, Mouri Kogoro remembered what he had seen in the documentary. The parent birds worked hard to bring food back to the nest, and saw a row of chicks that had not even grown all their feathers. They were screaming and waiting with their mouths wide open. The way he eats.

An indescribable fatigue arose spontaneously, and Mouri Kogoro suddenly felt sympathy for the housewives who needed to take care of the family's food.

It's really tiring to take care of these little guys who only eat but don't work...

"Can't you find that boy Hattori?"

Soon, Mouri Kogoro heard content that raised blood pressure.

"If it's just his cell phone that can't get through or contact, it may not be a big problem, but the same is true for Miss Toyama." Tang Ze nodded and described the problem, "It's very unlikely that two people will lose contact at the same time."

"They are people with a sense of time. They have already agreed in the morning to have dinner together when we come back from school." Mao Lilan also frowned tightly. "If there are any special circumstances, I think they will notify us."

"Karasawa said that you know the person they are looking for today, so we came to ask you." Kudo Shinichi looked at Mouri Kogoro, looking at his face that had also been spent day and night, and sighed in his heart.

I have been a fake elementary school student for a long time, and now I can't speak carelessly. I am not used to using some honorifics.

"You really like to worry. What can happen if you visit a detective?" Mouri Kogoro muttered, but he still took out his mobile phone and looked through his address book, "Okay, then I'll make a call and ask."

The detective industry in Tokyo is developed, and there are naturally many large and powerful detective agencies - this is why Toru Amuro used the reason to start a business to start a detective agency, and no one even thought it was strange - but the nature of the work is left here, and then expanded. Industry is still limited.

After all, detectives are not lawyers, and they don't even have an entrance exam. What they pay attention to is personalized customization and one-on-one service. Most of them still work alone.

Therefore, the Aipido Detective Agency, which has about ten people under its umbrella and can rent office space, is already one of the best. Of course, Mouri Kogoro has the contact information of their person in charge.

"Ah, it's Maori... Are you looking for Kusu Chuan?" A middle-aged male voice with a smile and a businessman's temperament came out through the external speaker, "What, mahjong is short of partners again?"

"No, no, I haven't had time to play with these things recently..." Facing his daughter's sharp gaze, Mouri Kogoro tensed up and waved his hands repeatedly, "I have something to do with him, business."

"What other business can you have with him?" The other person seemed to understand Mouri Kogoro's style very well, and laughed twice, "But it's unlucky for you to come here. For the past two or three days, Kusukawa has not been able to contact him."

"Have you been out of contact for two or three days?" Mouri Kogoro's expression became a little more serious, "Didn't you call the police?"

"As a detective, it's not surprising that you can't find anyone for two or three days when something happens. He said that he has a big case and needs to be followed by one person. I think he found a fat sheep who wants to eat alone. He doesn't know where he is hiding." The person on the other side of the phone obviously didn't take it seriously and answered in a very casual tone.

"Then is there anyone else who went to your place to look for Kusukawa today? They are probably around the age of high school students." Mouri Kogoro quickly asked.

"Yes, two people came here after ten o'clock in the morning. They are students from Osaka, one boy and one girl, right?" The person opposite gave a definite answer, "I told them that Kusu Chuan was not around recently, and they asked Kusu Chuan Just leave your home address.”

"Can you give me the address of your residence? Okay, there is Hatosou in the 4th-chome of Cupido Town..."

After recording the address, Mouri Kogoro looked at the woven rain curtain outside the window and sighed deeply.

It’s raining so heavily. Originally I only had to wait to welcome the guests, but now I have to find where the guests are...

"Let's go find someone, Uncle Mouri." Before Kogoro Mouri could make a decision, Tangze stood up on his own initiative. "They all rushed to find someone. It's not polite to find someone who hasn't found their dinner yet."

"Eh? Is it just you and Conan?" When Maori Kogoro was counting the heads, he subconsciously took along the child who had been extremely quiet in the past two days.

Conan, who had been sealed away by the fire and cold, had been so silent for the past two days that he often couldn't remember that there was such a person. The brat who used to be so annoying suddenly became sweeter and sweeter without opening his mouth.

Sure enough, one of the biggest troubles for naughty kids is the decibel level of noise.

"No, Conan has a cold. If you go out on a rainy day and get wet, you will get a fever." Tang Ze shook his head and denied.

"Even if you don't agree, this brat..." Having already experienced Conan's style of stalking and squeezing into the murder scene, Mouri Kogoro complained habitually.

Unexpectedly, Conan agreed immediately.

"Well, okay." Haibara Ai, who was wearing a mask, put her hands in her trouser pockets and tried hard to imitate Conan's usual style, but she could still feel the quietness.

Tangze nodded happily at his sensible sister.

Bring the real Conan there, and it can be used as a fighting force when paired with football, so why bring Haiyuan Ai to join in the fun?

With Sister Akira's supervision, the child has indeed increased the frequency of morning exercises, and the improvement in physical fitness is visible to the naked eye, but in fighting situations, it will not help if the calf jumps faster.

After looking at Conan in shock for a moment, and then at Karasawa who was smiling and approving, Mouri Kogoro murmured in his heart.

Is Tang Ze's words so effective for children? Have you never seen Conan so obedient before?

It seems that it is best to call Tang Ze for the next investigation. Even if it does not help the reasoning, as long as it can play the role of suppressing the naughty child, it is still a meritorious deed...

"It's inconvenient for you high school students to go to Abeido Town, and you don't have a driver's license. Otherwise..." Mouri Kogoro, who was already worried, stared at the bag containing vegetables for a few seconds, and his mood fluctuated again.

It's hard to say which is more frightening, staying home to handle so much food, or running out to find missing high school students.

"I'll ask Mr. Amuro for help." Karasawa, who had already prepared a way out in advance, said, "Don't worry. Mr. Amuro has been driving for so many years, but he has zero violation records."

Because when he needs to violate the rules, either he doesn't drive his car at all, or the traffic police can't catch him at all.

Tang Ze added in his heart.

"That young man downstairs..." Remembering that As Goro Akechi's boss, Toru Amuro can more or less be regarded as a detective, Kogoro Mouri was slightly relieved, "Then hurry up, don't look for someone for too long, the food will be gone Wait until it cools down."

"No problem, we'll take care of it!"

————

Not long after, Toru Amuro's Mazda parked downstairs at Arihatso in Abeido Town, and four people filed out.

Then two of them, namely Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi, grabbed the handrail of the stairs outside the apartment and retched while pressing their chests.

"Is this why you asked us if we had eaten before getting in the car?" Mao Lilan calmed down for a while, then said feebly, "It wasn't like this last time I took Mr. Amuro's car..."

Last time, thanks to Tang Ze's magic stroke, they were escorted by several supermen and experienced a terrifying night when a snowstorm closed the mountain and they were forced to stay overnight.

At that time, Toru Amuro, who was responsible for identifying the direction in the vast white snow and leading the road out of the ruts, drove the car very steadily, which made Mao Lilan not understand the reason for Karasawa's question at all.

"That's because last time there was a special situation. Mr. Amuro was responsible for being the head of the convoy in a snowy environment, so he drove more restrained." Karasawa, who was used to it, stood firmly on the ground with his feet firmly on the ground and looked at him sympathetically. Two high school students who have never seen the world.

How about it? Do you feel happy riding a Gundam?

"Karasawa..." After waiting for a long time, and finally overcoming the nausea caused by dizziness, Kudo Shinichi gritted his teeth and raised his head, "You, you call this driving safely."

"On a rainy day when the ground is so slippery, Mr. Amuro can bypass the congested main road and drive here in twenty minutes. Is it really safe?" Karasawa, who pretended not to understand, said confidently, "The situation is urgent and we haven't found him yet. Hattori and the others, time is life."

Although it is true that Toru Amuro drives like a Gundam, he knows how normal people drive, and he does not regard his driving skills that are good enough for filming thrilling police chases as ordinary skills.

Generally speaking, if there are no emergencies, he drives really steadily and rarely stops or starts suddenly. He can drive F1, but he is indeed an experienced driver.

Who told Kudo Shinichi to say that they were going to find the missing Osaka high school student detective?

Tang Ze could only express that he was helpless. Did you choose your idol?

"Room 202, not far from the stairs." Toru Amuro approached after parking the car, looked at the three high school students, and shook his head, "You two still need some exercise."

Two high school students, one who plays soccer and the other who has studied karate for many years and both consider themselves to be physically strong, are not convinced.

"There's no way to practice this. We're not going to choose pilots..." Kudo Shinko complained softly while holding his head.

Karasawa, who had heard the detective's complaints, silently looked down at the exposed back of his head.

It’s hard to say. You may not have a chance to fly a fighter jet, but you will have plenty of opportunities in your life to fly a commercial airliner.

Before the two dizzy high school students could recover, Toru Amuro glanced sideways at Karasawa and then at Kudou Shinichi. His eyes were filled with a sense of reckoning, "He's causing trouble again, right? Just wait for me." .

The non-existent Edogawa Conan is none other than the missing high school student detective Kudo Shinichi. Karasawa told him this personally.

And now, Kudo Shinichi, who should never appear in theory, not only returned safely, but also appeared at the same time as Edogawa Conan, saying that Karasawa had no knowledge of it. Anyone who knew the slightest bit about Karasawa's nature would generally not believe it. .

This means that if it hadn't been for Hattori Heiji's unexpected situation, Toru Amuro, who had no time to pay attention to Teidan recently, would have missed important information.

——To put it simply, there must be a close connection between Kudo Shinichi and the missing Shirley, and Karasawa is fully aware of this.

Raising his index finger and tapping Karasawa in the air, Toru Amuro temporarily suppressed his expression and returned his attention to the matter in front of him: "This house is Mr. Kusukawa's house they are looking for."

As soon as I walked to the door, a handwritten notice was clearly posted beside the door. The text on it clearly stated that the head of the household was not at home for the time being.

"'You will be back before noon. If you have express packages, please leave them at the landlord's office on the first floor.'" After reading out the key information, Toru Amuro nodded, "That's what Mr. Kusukawa said. This is not forged."

"Do you also know Detective Kusukawa?" Mao Lilan was surprised and finally understood the reason why Karasawa chose to call Toru Amuro to help.

It seems that although Mr. Amuro works multiple jobs and works in a cafe all day long, he seems not to care about the entrepreneurial part, but in fact he is doing well in the industry.

"Of course, the Acupido Detective Agency is a relatively large one. There are always contacts between colleagues." His tone was relaxed, but Toru Amuro's eyes remained unlaxed, and he scanned all the locations at the door as quickly as possible. .

"This is the brand logo on Hattori's hat." Kudo Shinichi, who had just stood in front of the door and immediately got into the mood, accurately pointed out the faint marks on the door, "It seems that he and Miss Toyama did not bring umbrellas, this is his hat The water marks left behind.”

"Well, he normally goes from Acupido Office to this apartment. Considering that he is unfamiliar with the route, he should arrive in front of the door around 11 o'clock. He saw the notice and mistakenly thought that Mr. Kusukawa would return at noon, so he waited for a while." Amuro Tohru pointed to another mark that was less than waist high, "This may have been left by Hattori-san who was sitting on the door when he was tired of waiting."

"Absolutely." Kudo Shinichi nodded in agreement, indicating the position.

"Misunderstood?" Mao Lilan responded quickly and grasped the information in Amuro Toru's words. "Doesn't this notice mean that he will go home in the afternoon?"

"I guess Mr. Kusukawa planned to return home soon, but something happened that prevented him from coming back." Toru Amuro pointed to the transparent tape on the door at his feet, "A simple detection device to make sure no one sneaks in. .”

It was a very simple method, and it was common sense for an undercover agent who needed to be careful every day, so he discovered it very quickly.

Tohru Amuro knew a little bit about the missing Kusukawa.

Because he often participates in gambling, Nanchuan has almost no savings. With new income, he will soon put it into gambling.

Therefore, Nanchuan, who has a very high need for money, has always liked to take risks and pursue high returns amidst high risks, which is very consistent with his gambler's mentality.

How can one not get his shoes wet when he is always walking along the river? It is normal for him to be extra cautious in terms of personal safety.

"Yes, the tape is not only peeling off now, but there is also a lot of dust on the glue surface. It has been ineffective for a while." Kudo Shinichi bent down to observe this short piece of transparent tape and gave his own judgment.

He could find out that Hattori, who was not much weaker than him, couldn't find out why he stayed at the door for so long.

Kudo Shinichi, who was finally convinced that Hattori Heiji had an accident, frowned.

Regardless of whether the actual effect was as expected, Hattori came all the way from Osaka to help him.

If the other party encounters danger in Tokyo during this period...

"Hattori wouldn't leave the door for no reason. He must have discovered something." Karasawa, who was standing behind them, said, "Suppose he is tired of waiting, sits in this position, and sees the tape at hand. Then what will he do next? , it will definitely..."

Tangze stretched out his hand, grabbed the apartment door handle, and turned it hard.

The apartment door opened in response.

"It's not locked at all? Someone has broken in!" Mao Lilan covered her mouth in surprise, looked at the empty apartment entrance, and then looked around at the three people around her, "Is this a detective? It's really amazing. "

The three people who actually had the rank of detective smiled at her.

"Hattori is also a powerful detective." Looking at this small pigeon cage, Karasawa reminded.

"Yes, he will definitely not miss this information. Go in and take a look." Kudo Shinichi was very sure.

He was able to rummage unscrupulously at murder scenes without any psychological pressure on breaking in, and he easily found the door to the only bedroom in the small apartment.

"Creased paper."

"Well, look at this indentation. It is naturally bent because it was stuffed at a right angle."

"The intruder didn't notice this. The position fell naturally. The drawer, or the cabinet door... I guess it was the drawer."

"You can't tell what was taken."

"Here on the table, there is pencil powder. It's very new and you can still smell it."

"It should have been done by Hattori after he entered the house. Let me take a look at the size of the mark. Well, it's about 10 centimeters square..."

"Yes, there's a pad."

"Well, Hattori probably used a pencil to smear on the first page to confirm the contents of the torn page. There are still a few pen marks, so this page is enough."

"Kenbashi Town, Ito...?"

"There is also a phone number, but the numbers are written lightly and cannot be read clearly across the page."

"It's good to have a direction."

"you're right."

Tangze, who had no intention of walking into the sliding door, strolled to the door of the living room and raised his eyebrows at Mao Lilan, who didn't react.

What was he talking about before? You can't think of detective as a normal profession, right?

Detectives in this world are more like a job than a profession, and ordinary Muggles cannot do it.

"...Hey." Seeing the two people who had been quietly walking around the room for a few minutes and had finished investigating the direction, Mao Lilan was silent for a moment and suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong? You and Kudo grew up, haven't you gotten used to this kind of scene yet?" Tangze looked at her strangely.

"No, I just think that if this is the normal state of detectives, no wonder the police rely on detectives so much. So it is not surprising that my father has been a detective for so long and only became famous by chance at this age." Mao Lilan said this , there was even a bit of sadness on his face, "He used to be a policeman, maybe he is not suitable for this profession."

If the talents shown by Shinichi, Hattori, and even Akechi-kun in the detective profession can be summarized as genius boys, even Mr. Amuro, who worked as a waiter and became a monk halfway, is a detective with first-class observation and excellent reasoning ability. Just a little bit...

"It seems that Mr. Nanchuan is really missing." At this point, she couldn't help but murmur, "He used to be a policeman, and his professional ability should be average."

Toru Amuro, who is still a policeman now, felt like he had been hit by several arrows in the back: "..."

Kudo Shinichi, who was the real mastermind behind Kogoro Mouri's debut, was unable to refute for a moment: "..."

"Pfft - cough cough cough..." This was Tang Ze who fully understood the whole point of laughter and was quite painful to hold back his laughter.
