The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Tuk tuk tuk..."

"coming."

Fei Yingli, who was pacing anxiously in front of the door, only heard a faint female voice coming from behind the door. After half a minute, the door in front of her slowly opened a crack.

"Lawyer Fei, it's you." Ritsuko Usui, who had half of her face exposed, uttered a faint sentence when he saw her face clearly.

Over her shoulder, the frowning Mao Lilan met Ritsuko Usui's gaze, and the anxiety on her face slowly relaxed.

Her father is such a big man that he won't get lost when he goes on vacation. As a tourist city, Karuizawa's public security management is also very good.

She couldn't find anyone for a long time and didn't answer her cell phone. She was most worried that Mouri Kogoro would be depressed because he couldn't drink and ran to places like bars in the red light district. Na Feiying's anger level might have exploded.

Looking at Ritsuko Usui's expression, she felt that the missing Mouri Kogoro was somewhere.

"My dad hasn't been seen for a while, he didn't answer the phone, and he didn't bring his room card, so I came to ask." Mao Lilan asked, "Is he in your room?"

"Yes, it's in my room." Ritsuko Usui replied with a voice as angry as a silk thread, with more resentment than a female ghost in five hundred years.

Her face was delicately and cutely outlined, and her face was painted with great skill. At first glance, she looked much younger, as if she was in her early twenties. It must be said that her makeup was very thoughtful.

But no matter how thoughtful your makeup is, it can't withstand the direct rays of three ultraviolet lamps.

——Where did those naughty kids find so many UV mosquito repellent lamps? ! Her room is almost turning into a disinfection room!

Under the ruthless irradiation of ultraviolet rays, her careful preparation was not only in vain, but the more careful she was, the brighter the fluorescence became.

Especially when she considered the resort's swimming pool, she had already put on a thin layer of sunscreen, and had made plans to meet by the pool tomorrow if she failed to seduce her tonight.

It happened that she captured similar keywords from the conversation between Maori father and daughter. She thought that the beautiful woman bathing in the morning light in the blue waves might be more attractive.

As a result, not only her face, but also her exposed arms and neckline were shining with fluorescent lights. If she took a step closer to the terrace where Kogoro Mouri was, she would transform into a Green Lantern.

Don't talk about Yanni's thoughts, she really wants to take off her makeup now, she really wants to take off her makeup.

"Come in, Mr. Mori doesn't seem to have the key card for his room."

So please take her away quickly. Please, if they stay together for a while, she will go crazy!

"It's unbelievable to be drunk like this. Has Saku's drinking ability been so bad before?" Throwing his heavy colleague on the bed, Kenzo Shiozawa rubbed his waist and complained.

"It's rare to go on vacation, so it's not strange for him to indulge." Mikasa Yuji, who had some sympathy for Saku Hashi because he had handled cases, sighed softly, "I guess he is in a bad mood."

"If you're in a bad mood, drinking like this will hurt your health..." Kenzo Shiozawa shook his head in disapproval.

After taking off Sakubo's shoes, the two of them threw him on the bed, locked the door, and left Sakubo's room.

When the sound of the door closing came, Saku Hashi who fell on the bed opened his eyes.

He has always had a good drinking capacity, so a little drink like this won't affect his actions at all.

What's more, in order to make sure there were no mistakes in his actions tonight, he didn't take a few sips at all, and the strong smell of alcohol on his body basically spilled out directly on his clothes.

After getting up, changing clothes and briefly washing, Sakubo took five minutes to get ready and walked downstairs.

He still needed to spend some time to confirm the exact number of Ritsuko Usui's room, so he had to speed up.

Avoiding the surveillance and taking the safe passage to enter the floor where Ritsuko Usui was, Hoshi Saku wandered around a circle of rooms for a while, locking in several suspicious locations.

The preparations were not complete, but his mood was very calm.

This trip to Karuizawa is to celebrate the victory of Eri Fei and Ritsuko Usui, and they are expected to stay here for three or four days.

If he couldn't achieve his goal tonight, he could try again tomorrow night. There was no need to be impatient, he still needed to be more disciplined in doing things.

Putting on his gloves slowly, Sakubo approached the first suspicious door.

After ringing the bell several times, he stood in front of the door and looked at his reflection on the door.

Ritsuko Usui had no grudges with her in the past and had no grudges in the recent past. Her trial strategy had always been a blitzkrieg, and she would not investigate as carefully as Mikasa Yuji.

Until now, she might not realize that her defendant was the small village where she was born.

Having been a lawyer for many years, he did not expect to be able to hide the truth and escape legal sanctions. All he hoped for was a time difference. Without Ritsuko Usui, who was eager for quick success and quick gain, the possibility of reconciliation between the two parties was very high.

Give him half a month, no, give him a week, and he will surrender to the police station.

He just felt dissatisfied with this woman's unscrupulous tactics, and felt unworthy of the concubine Yingli he was pursuing.

As he was rehearsing it in his head, the door in front of him opened.

Fortunately, this is Usui Bing's room, the destination of his trip.

"Here he is, who is it again..." Ritsuko Usui's impatient voice came from behind the door, and the door was opened, "It's so late, one after another, not letting anyone rest."

Ritsuko Usui was very angry now as she was interrupted one after another and her plan failed to succeed.

Her voice was full of low pressure. If the resentment could turn into reality, there would be blood all over the room.

Saku Hashi raised his head, trying to show a peaceful smile. After a brief conversation, he got the chance to enter the door. When he saw Ritsuko Usui's face, he was stunned for a moment.

Ritsuko Usui had at least a dozen white notes taped on her face. Her slightly haggard bare face could be seen in the gaps between the papers. Coupled with her speaking style at the moment, she looked like a ghost.

"You, what's going on..." Surprised, Hoshi Saku's clenched hands slowly relaxed.

No matter how it looked, it looked like she was being punished after losing the game, which meant that she was not the only one in Ritsuko Usui's room.

If there were other people, his murder plan would have to be put on hold for the time being and considered in the long run.

"They are playing cards. Do you want to play with them?" The expressionless Ritsuko Usui recognized the person at the door and said quietly, "Bridge, you are here for exactly two tables."

When she spoke, the note on her face was like a ribbon attached to the air conditioner vent, floating leisurely. Saku Hashi spent some effort to control his breathing so as not to laugh.

Ritsuko Usui, who usually pays attention to her image, looks quite embarrassed.

"It's Lawyer Saku." Seeing Ritsuko Usui standing in front of the door, the curious Mao Lilan tilted his head and looked outside. Seeing that he was an acquaintance, he waved enthusiastically, "It just so happens that my dad doesn't want to fight. Do you want to come with us? ?”

He had already walked to Ritsuko Usui's room, pretended that nothing happened, and left on the spot. When a murder case occurred, his behavior would become very suspicious.

Considering the above questions, Sakubo thought for a few seconds and then chose to walk into the room: "I just came to ask if there is anyone to go out with. In that case, count me in."

As soon as he entered the door and saw the scene in the room, Sakubo couldn't help but be stunned.

On the small table near the terrace, several people were sitting there playing poker. Those who were not on the table had melon seeds and drinks spread out around them. They seemed to be watching and relaxing, waiting for their seats to be filled.

There were three people at the table, Detective Maori's daughter Maori Ran, an elementary school student wearing big glasses who seemed to be named Edogawa Conan, and the brown-haired high school boy. Their faces were all clean, without a note. .

The little girl sitting next to her had one in the middle of her forehead, Fei Yingli had one on each side of her face, and Mouri Kogoro had a little more, with four.

Doesn't that mean...

Hoshi Saku looked at Ritsuko Usui whose face was covered in white stripes and was speechless for a moment.

"Are you interested in playing a few games? There is no prize, just a note for the last one." Looking at the unlucky murderer who rushed to the night market, Tang Ze said a friendly hello.

Among various poker games with different rules, bridge is considered to be a highly competitive game that does not rely much on luck. Sometimes it is even regarded as a game to test IQ and is included in some competitions.

But, how should I put it, the configuration on this table.

The fake elementary school student with the highest IQ in the room knows little about the rules, but Mao Lilan is obviously a supermodel with great luck, plus a strange thief who can see the entire deck of playing cards as long as he is willing to open his third eye. The king of heaven is here. They can only be at the bottom.

Facing Mouri Kogoro, the few of them were still restrained. After Usui Ritsuko Qiqi Aai expressed her desire to play after taking off her makeup, Haibara Ai simply gave up her position and let European Emperor Mourilan take over.

Due to the scoring system of bridge, the four people on the table could be ranked in order, so they agreed on who would be at the bottom and who would be given a note to show gentleness.

Facing Mouri Kogoro, Karasawa still wanted to hold back, but if it were Ritsuko Usui who had an impure mind, several people would attack him lightly.

So Ritsuko Usui was tortured by them for several hours.

The other three people fought back and forth, and they could still hold on for a while if they were changed to Concubine Eri or Mouri Kogoro.

She was the only one who lost no matter how hard she played. She was always at the bottom no matter who she played with. Even though she was sitting at the card table, she would always be the first to be eliminated. She would just stick to the note and watch the three people go back and forth.

When Saku Hashi came to call the door, she had almost been beaten to the point of unconsciousness and began to doubt her own IQ.

It's okay if she can't beat the famous detective and Fei Yingri, but it's still acceptable if she can't beat the smart and lucky high school student. Two elementary school students can beat her casually...!

Seeing that Ritsuko Usui was completely beaten to autism, Karasawa glanced at the time and gave Saku Hoshi a friendly smile.

His teammates should have already found their positions. They just need to wait for him to give the order and show the prepared letter to Saku Hashi, and then they can beat his shadow and teach him to be a good person.

When you are a lawyer, just be a lawyer, practice your skills more, don't play if you can't afford it, if you can't win in court, what's the point of killing your opponent out of court?

If everyone followed your logic, Ryūichi Naruhodou would die almost eight hundred times.

"Lawyer Ui Bing must be tired of fighting. Come and give it a try. The rules are very simple..."

————

An hour and a half later, Hoshi Saku, who also had stripes on his face, hugged his knees and joined the autistic Ritsuko Usui in the corner.

The murderer and the victim, who were supposed to be dead, looked at each other across the note, not knowing what to say to each other.

What are you talking about? You were beaten at the poker table until your nose was bruised and your face was swollen. Your backhand is weak and your forehand is not good. Do you think you are too good?

"As expected of the children brought here by the concubine's lawyer and Detective Maori, right?" Ritsuko Usui made a dry comment as her eyes swept over the faces of the four minors present.

"...Yeah, that's right." Saku Hashi, who regained his voice, reluctantly cheered up, "The children trained by detectives, especially the daughters of Detective Mori and the concubine's lawyer, are extraordinary, haha, hahaha..."

I don't know how his words stung Usui Ritsuko. Usui Ritsuko, who had basically given up struggling, opened his eyes and looked towards the card table again with eager eyes.

He can't compare in the workplace, he was beaten to the point of losing his armor in court, and now even his family has to lose completely?

She is not willing to give in!

"I'm well rested. I'll play two more games."

Don't they all say that bridge is the fairest card game? She doesn't believe it!

Tangze, who was sitting in Mao Lilan's hand, touching his cards and secretly wondering how to manage this bad hand, heard this and stood up without saying a word: "Okay, then you can play for me, and I'll ask the front desk to bring some food. "

Walking around the card table, past Kogoro Mouri and Eri Fei who were sitting on both sides of the sofa talking awkwardly, Karasawa passed by Hoshi Saku, who was sitting blankly on the corner of the bed with eyes staring blankly, and went to pick up the landline phone from the bedside table.

His fingers flicked lightly, using a little of the card-playing skills he had learned from Kidd these days, and then he picked up the landline as if nothing had happened and dialed the front desk.

So when the dazed Sakubo Hashi was awakened by the room service at the door, he realized that there seemed to be something smooth pressed under the palm of his left hand.

Raising his hand in confusion, Sakubo discovered that it was the back of a playing card.

Hey, that's weird. He couldn't have brought his cards with him when he left the table, right?

Could it be that the secret to these children's consistent winning at cards is that someone unknowingly changed the cards?

With a look of humiliation on his face, Sakubo Hashi stared, immediately grabbed the card in his hand, turned it over, and wanted to expose this clumsy trick.

This is a bright red king, with an upright and a reverse JOKER arranged on the two corners.

However, in the middle of the card, there was a frightening logo printed there, and Hoshi Saku almost screamed in surprise after seeing it.

The Phantom Thieves of Heart!

Damn it, doesn’t it mean that everyone they target will receive a grand announcement, just like the Phantom Thieves who want to come to take away the treasure, so why do they call themselves the Phantom Thieves of the Heart?

Why is there such a childish notification?

Oh, I almost forgot, the rumor that the Phantom Thief of Heart likes to move around Moori Kogoro...

Sakubo Hashi squeezed the card in his hand tightly, and when he was thinking about how to hide it, a subtle sense of contraction came over him. He couldn't help but raise his hand and firmly hold down his heart, which started to beat faster.

This feeling, this feeling as if something was about to be vomited out from the depths of his soul...!

"vomit--"

The next second, he bent over and started vomiting.

The sticky black liquid splashed on the smooth floor of the hotel, and the notes stuck randomly on Sakubo Fashi's face fell, and were soon wetted by the spreading black water.

Ritsuko Usui, who was in a irritable mood, thought it was the drunk Saku Hashi who was getting drunk, and she felt even more irritable.

She was already in a bad enough state tonight.

Although everyone in the room pretended not to notice anything, from the subtle gazes of the children and the sharp scrutiny of Fei Yingli, Ritsuko Usui still had her own thoughts. Everyone could see clearly. , there is no trace of shame in their gaze.

As a result, now, a drunk idiot came to her room to vomit!

Turning her head, she ignored what was in her hand and stood up angrily: "I say Saku, if you want to vomit, you can't go to the bathroom first... Yeah!"

Seeing clearly the state of Sakubo Hoshi's seven orifices dripping with black mud, Ritsuko Usui, who thought for a moment that something was haunted, let out a scream.

There were white stripes on Sakubo Hashi's face, which was stained half white by black mud. Black liquid from an unknown source gushes out from the corners of his mouth. He looked in an extremely tragic state, which was very visually impactful.

To put it bluntly, it was not so scary when I turned around and saw Sakubo Hashi dead.

"What's going on, Saku, Saku..." Ritsuko Usui screamed loudly, her voice on the edge of breaking.

Everyone else in the room fell into an eerie silence as they looked at this familiar scene.

"The Phantom Thief of the Heart, aren't they tired?" Mouri Kogoro, who was as calm as ever, even had time to complain, "I've already had a day off, but they don't even have a day off."

"No, maybe they started working just because you were on holiday..." Fei Yingli, who still knew those people behind Moori Kogoro, instinctively said something.

"Then they have a holiday when I'm at work?" Mouri Kogoro, whose client really had a lot of troubles, was speechless, "Xiaolan..."

"The police have been called." Mao Lilan, who had dialed the phone immediately. Although he was still a little panicked when he saw Sakubo, his mood was obviously calmer than usual. "I'm not very familiar with the police station here. It may be necessary to Wait for them to transfer."

Karasawa, who was holding two desserts in his hands, walked back calmly and handed another small dinner plate to Haibara Ai, who was waiting for his reply with his arms crossed, and blinked.

"What are you trying to do?" Haibara Ai, who knew only a little about the working principles of the Phantom Thief of the Heart, was a little uneasy. "Did this person make any big mistake?"

In her impression, there are not many people who can receive such torture from the Phantom Thieves. Basically, they are the type who are particularly tough-talking and do not correct themselves after being beaten to death, and they will be intimidated by them in this way.

According to her understanding, it depends on the purpose of the Phantom Thieves whether to make the opponent vomit black mud all over the floor and die like this in the end.

This Saku Hoshi doesn't look like such a vicious person?

"His fault is that he was murderous while traveling." Karasawa replied in a low voice, expressing sympathy, "Who allowed him to have so much free time that he went to Karuizawa to plan murders? Nagano Prefecture, but a What a great place.”
