The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Seventeen years ago? Even if you asked me that kind of thing, I wouldn't be able to give you an accurate answer..."

Taking a peek at Mao Lilan who was speaking angrily to Maori Kogoro outside, Haibara Ai answered in a low voice.

"Seventeen years ago, I was less than one year old. Shouldn't you ask your sister about this kind of thing?"

"I'll call you, of course because I called her first..." Also curled up on the bed near the back, Tang Ze took a peek at Conan, who was holding a stack of papers and studying them carefully, and sighed, "I want to ask you about the APTX taking list."

"...Ah, that's what you were talking about." Hearing Tang Ze mention this list, Haihara Ai's voice dropped obviously.

Due to the unknown effects of APTX4869 and the extremely high mortality rate of this drug in clinical manifestations, it was once used by organizations as a silencing poison.

Through this method, they can not only kill the target accurately without leaving traces, but also obtain effective drug testing data, which is a very cost-effective choice for them.

...And that is also proof of the sins she and her parents left behind.

"APTX4869 was theoretically born in your hands." Tangze picked up the phone, looked at the document page that Noah took out for himself, and squinted his eyes, "But that list has existed for many years. .”

"Yes, you are right." Haiyuan Ai exhaled, slowly shrank back, and wrapped himself in the quilt, "APTX4869 is indeed a drug developed by me... but it The research has been around for many years. Neither I nor my parents are just subsequent developers of this research."

"In other words, APTX4869 is just the code name of this generation of products born in your hands."

"That's what it means. When it was in the hands of my parents, it shouldn't have been called this name. I'm not sure. After all, the information I have access to is limited."

"What about that list? How much do you remember? Regarding Kudo's question, you explained that you discovered the fact that Kudo Shinichi was not dead early and deduced his current identity, but you concealed the situation from the organization and tampered with it. His status on the list... You have been in contact with that list, right?"

Hui Yuan Ai, who was huddled in the quilt, didn't answer, but just took a deep breath.

On this early summer night, she huddled in the fluffy and soft bed quilt, but suddenly felt a chill. It was so cold that she really wanted to ask Tangze about her sister's location.

She really wants a hug now.

After a moment of silence, she answered with difficulty: "I'm not sure how much I can reveal to you. It's not easy, Karasawa."

This list is not only the result of organizational experiments, but also a reminder displayed in front of them.

Perhaps in the eyes of the top management of the organization who have lost their conscience, this is an urging for them to further improve the formula, but for the Miyano family, this is simply unbearable pressure and shackles.

Miyano Shiho didn't know how her parents felt when they discovered this fact, but she vividly remembered her feelings at the time.

Her hands and feet were as cold as falling into an ice cave. The dark deaths flashed mercilessly on the screen. Every name seemed to be shouting at her——

"Murderer".

"I vaguely noticed from the principle of the drug that this drug seems to exist to fight aging and restore youth."

Therefore, in order to improve the formula, she began to spend time in the laboratory day and night, burying her head in front of countless petri dishes to record experiments one by one, sitting in front of the computer, and constantly checking the status of each mouse...

Try to find an exit among them.

An exit from a nightmare.

"I'm not sure what the first people who discovered this special substance wanted to do, but what I'm sure of is..."

That's a long list.

Men, women, old and young, behind every indifferent word is a life that has passed away.

Most of them must be enemies of the organization. It is impossible for the organization to let stakeholders use the drug without authorization knowing that it has such a high mortality rate.

She had no way of exploring whether this record was complete and whether there were more people who had taken it but were not recorded.

But she was very clearly...

"This killing has been going on for decades." Hui Yuan Ai's voice was muffled in the quilt, thin and erratic, like a dream dissipated in the moonlight, "And I have been adding to it. My parents, said Maybe."

That is, she must bear the unshirkable responsibility for this.

Even if she did not do it voluntarily, the unique talent she has shown in the academic field since she was very young has actually become a benefit to the organization.

Accept the training of the organization, go to the other side of the ocean to study, return from school, join the organization's experiments, and become the leader of many experiments...

She has been helping the evildoers, this is an irrefutable fact.

"As you suspected, I occasionally wonder, after discovering the truth about my experiment, my parents were unwilling to continue helping the organization and chose to commit suicide? I'm not sure, Tangze, I'm not sure …”

Haihara Ai on the other end of the phone was obviously in some kind of pessimistic mood. The death list, which was equivalent to the sin of murder, may have caused too much pressure on her in the past.

Tangze glanced at the phone that was still on the call, stood up decisively, and walked behind Conan, who was still concentrating on reading documents.

"No, Shiho, I want to tell you clearly."

Just when Haibara Ai was about to completely cover herself with a quilt and immerse herself in darkness, Tang Ze's decisive and calm voice cut through the darkness.

He used a steady voice to clearly convey the message he wanted to convey.

"Your parents were killed by the organization after discovering the development status of APTX seventeen years ago."

————

"Koji Haneda...where did you know this name?"

Akai Shuichi put down the device in his hand and seriously asked Karasawa on the other side of the call.

"Some small, accidental discoveries." Tangze asked emphatically without elaborating on his source of information, "The case occurred in the United States seventeen years ago. One of the deceased, Amanda Hughes, had many relationships with the organization... …Do you have any more detailed information?”

"...I do have some understanding. Seventeen years ago, the talented chess player Haneda Koji went to the United States to compete, but died suddenly in his hotel room. Also found with him was a man named Amanda ·Hughes’ Entrepreneur’s Corpse.”

Shifting his gaze to the cabinet where he kept his personal belongings, Akai Shuichi stood up and walked out of the store's warehouse to avoid the curious teammates behind him from continuing to explore the content of their call.

"There are indeed traces of an organization in this case, and it may be mainly related to the pharmaceutical industry that Amanda Hughes is engaged in... But from your tone, that's not what you want to know."

Tangze is a cautious guy, and occasionally he can be a little exaggerated.

Akai Shuichi was not sure how he developed this caution, but after many contacts, he had slowly adapted to Karasawa's style of doing things.

Generally speaking, if there is no real urgent need for information, Tang Ze will leave the matters that need to be dealt with until the meeting, just like an old-school agent who does not trust any communication equipment.

Since he called himself at this time, it meant that he must have made a substantial discovery.

"Well, what I want to ask you is not the details of the case." Tangze pulled a piece of paper from Conan's hand and stared at the words on it.

Conan, who was sitting at the table, turned to look at him.

He had already heard a brief introduction from Tang Ze about the ill-fated and tragic family fate of Tang Ze's mother.

Neither he nor Miyano Shiho is just a microcosm of the overall family situation.

This is why Conan would choose to exchange information with Karasawa as soon as he found contact.

Not only because they were closely related to him, but also because Conan knew that it would be easier for Karasawa's relatives who were entangled with the organization to get accurate information than him, the easy-chair detective who sat in front of the document and meditated hard.

Haiyuan is such a gourd, only Tang Ze can get the exact information from her, and his cousin named Shuichi Akai, who is not easy to mess with, is fighting on the front line of the investigation organization.

Therefore, Conan at this moment was not surprised at all by what Tangze said to the person on the other side of the phone.

"What I want to ask is, who comes first between this case and the deaths of Uncle Miyano and the others?"

Akai Shuichi paused as he walked out.

"...You are more perceptive than I thought, Azhao. I probably know what you are guessing. Yes, I'm afraid your idea is right."

Taking out the cigarette case from the cabinet, Shuichi Akai held the filter in his mouth and took out the lighter.

"The third day after the death of Amanda Hughes and Koji Haneda..." He looked down at the orange-red flames to light the tobacco, as if watching the fuse being lit, "Mr. and Mrs. Miyano died in a laboratory accident. .”

————

"The speed at which you gather information is unimaginable."

After finally finishing the document, Conan looked at another thick stack of documents in Tang Ze's hand with difficulty, and suddenly began to regret that he had discussed the case with Tang Ze at this time.

They were obviously on vacation, but after a busy day, they were even busier than when they were in Tokyo...

"I think the printers provided in the administrative corridor are not used for this purpose." Conan, who felt his eyelids were already heavy, protested in a low voice, "And it is not safe to print these materials with a printer outside..."

What answered him was two dull "dong dong" sounds.

There was the sound of paper being slapped on the table, and the sound of a white porcelain cup being placed on the coaster.

"Don't worry, I've eliminated all traces." Karasawa looked down at the culprit who had to start working overtime, and said gently, "I learned my coffee skills from Mr. Amuro, don't worry, the results are very good. "

Hey, hey, shouldn't it be said that it tastes good? What the hell is the effect so good...

Conan struggled for a moment, and when he saw the name on the first page of the document, he couldn't help but be attracted to it.

"Miyano Atsushi and Miyano Elena, Haibara's parents, did they really die because of the Haneda Koji case?" It was slightly unbelievable. Even though he knew that this was a terrible overtime trap, Conan still couldn't help it. Bite the hook.

The truth was right in front of him, and his guess was about to be confirmed. It was too difficult for him to put down this material.

"I sent news to Shiho, asked Xiuichi brother, and also asked other insiders..." After mentioning the source of his information, Tangze clicked on the document in front of him, "I am sure now. There are two things. First, the Miyano couple definitely did not die of natural causes or commit suicide. Although the explosion in the laboratory may have been their own handiwork, their deaths themselves are very problematic."

Unlike the Karasawa couple who saw the claws and claws of the organization very early, the Miyano couple who joined the Karasuma Group's pharmaceutical company in their early years really knew nothing about the true face of the organization.

At that time, they finally got a high-paying job, gave birth to their second child, and could start to look forward to a great life in the future. They were fundamentally different from the Tangze couple who were mentally prepared and full of awareness.

"Second... part of this point comes from my guess, and the other part comes from the inference of an insider." Tang Ze lowered his eyes, and the shadow of his eyelashes completely covered the color of his pupils, making him look a little gloomy at this moment. , "Killing the Miyano couple may not be the consensus of the organization's senior leaders, but the independent decision of a certain senior executive."

"And this high-level person is related to the death of Haneda Koji?" The detective with developed brain circuits reacted quickly.

"Yes, I guess the clues he left in this case forced him to kill the Miyano couple." Karasawa said coldly, "In the final analysis, killing them so early is not in line with the organization's pursuit of interests. . Although it was later proven that Shiho had drug research and development capabilities that were not inferior to theirs, seventeen years ago, Shiho was less than 1 year old. How did the organization predict this? What's more, the blank period in cultivating her will inevitably create talent blank. Their research goals are very urgent."

This is the news that Tangze can confirm based on various information. At least in this world, he has the confidence to make a judgment.

"Well, so, as long as we investigate this case clearly, we may directly hit the target of a certain high-level person in the organization... Is that what you mean?" Conan, who was completely motivated to work, was still asking questions, but his hands were already moving again. Opened a brand new document at once.

"Yes, that's what I want to say." Tang Ze put on that gentle and friendly smile again, looking down at Conan's round head kindly.

If you know how to analyze, just analyze more, what? Feeling sleepy? Come on, add as much coffee as you want for 25sp. If you can fall asleep, I lose.

Conan looked at the documents in front of him sadly and sighed heavily. Even though he knew that this was Tangze's conspiracy to force him to speed up his work, he still couldn't help but open the newly acquired documents.

Well, even if Tang Ze is great, he can't sleep now.

————

In a hotel not far from the resort, an insider was holding a cup of coffee with the same effect and unhappily replied to a new email.

[Although I understand your starting point, this guess is a bit too bold, Tang Ze.

You know what Rum's real status is in the organization, right? Strictly speaking, he is the "boss" of both of us. 】

He rushed to Nagano Prefecture to see Fu Gaoming, and soon discovered that the minor under his custody was restlessly active again. When he called to investigate, he was thrown back a bunch of new questions.

Toru Amuro is unhappy now, very unhappy.

[Of course I know, he is the second-in-command of the organization, and he manages the intelligence content of the entire organization. 】

The tone of Karasawa's reply was quite brisk, which made Amuro's nerves jump.

[Knowing that you still make this assumption?

Why on earth would the second-in-command of an organization go against the organization because of personal interests? Does this organization really have a purpose? 】

When Toru Amuro typed this sentence, his mood was complicated.

In order to be this undercover agent, he had paid a lot and sacrificed a lot. Now looking at this ridiculous guess, he didn't know what kind of expression he should show.

If you think about it carefully, except for the low-level handymen, all the codename members he has come into contact with in the organization, except for Gin and Vodka, all have evil intentions.

He and Jingben were undercover agents, and Rai, who had been hostile to him for several years, was also proven to be an undercover agent from other intelligence agencies.

After Belmode grasped her handle, it was certain that she did not expect the organization to be organized. In turn, she may have hatred for the organization that caused her tragic situation - at least, she definitely did not want the organization to be organized. The research was successful.

He has never met Ireland, but this guy has been surrounding them for a while, surrounding them and exploring the secret of Kumail's identity. This in itself is a violation of the organization.

Curacao, the same thing, he has never met her, but Karasawa has extracted a lot of information from her, and given that she is similar to Hoshikawa Teru, and is controlled by the organization's drugs. It is foreseeable that , if something went wrong in the organization, she would only help.

Now, Tangze actually suggested that the second-in-command Rum also had great selfishness and made many small actions that were against the interests of the organization...

Why on earth has this organization not fallen apart yet?

Toru Amuro, who finally felt the essence of the world, questioned his soul.

【Who knows? This is the situation.

Rum's selfishness is very serious, that's for sure. I think if we understand his thoughts, maybe we can go further. 】

These words sound more like conspirators seeking power and usurping the throne than undercover agents... although the role they play in the organization is indeed already that.

Toru Amuro shook his head, sighed resignedly, and began to search for contact information through various channels.

Forget it, just think of it as the retribution he had to bear for considering Karasawa, the phantom thief of the heart with unimaginable abilities, as one of his cards.

He deserved it, there was nothing he could do about it.

————

"...So, actually, mom still wants to give away the tie. After all, today is their wedding anniversary! Well, although they are divorced now. Do you think we should think of a way to help them? What about? Judging from the atmosphere yesterday, they are in pretty good condition."

Mao Lilan, who had a completely different painting style, finished speaking her thoughts tangledly and looked across the table for advice.

Then I saw two drowsy boys, each holding coffee and pouring it into their mouths mechanically.

"Hey, Conan, Karasawa, are you two listening? Why are you so sleepy? Didn't you sleep yesterday?"
