The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"You came all the way to Karuizawa just to choose this?"

As if to resolve the embarrassment, Mikasa Yuji had nothing to say and took the initiative to ask Fei Yingri about the gift box in hand.

Five colleagues travel together, and one of them intends to murder the other because of a case the other is working on...

No matter from any angle, it was too embarrassing for this group of lawyers, so now the three of them were sitting in the restaurant, eating breakfast in a subtle atmosphere.

"Absolutely." Fei Yingli touched the ribbon on the gift box at hand and said with some nostalgia, "We came to Nagano Prefecture during our wedding honeymoon..."

Due to professional reasons, after getting married, Mouri Kogoro always wears very serious dark suits. Whether he is a policeman or a detective, it is not suitable for him to dress up too frivolously - at least Moori Kogoro is not that style.

But she knew that Mouri Kogoro's personal tendency was actually a more lively and casual style. His actual personality was a bit out of touch with his frizzy style, and his overly calm style did not match him.

This is why she rarely agreed to the invitation from her colleagues when she heard that the destination was Karuizawa.

"It sounds like that boy Saku has no hope." Kenzo Shiozawa joked at first, and when he mentioned Saku Hoshi, his expression froze again.

Although the two of them were not present at what happened last night, the police made such a big fuss that it was impossible not to know.

"Hey, since the defendant is a resident of Saku's hometown, why didn't he tell us directly?" Mikasa Yuji scratched his head and expressed helplessly.

"If you tell me straight, you will show mercy?" Fei Yingli raised her eyebrows and glanced at him.

This sentence made Mikasa Yuji feel embarrassed - he originally took over this commission, but he failed to obtain the desired litigation outcome for his client in the first trial, so Ritsuko Usui took over in the second trial and the verdict was changed on appeal.

"There is no need to be merciful. I can't win even if I try my best." Mikasa Yuji said mockingly, "But if he made it clear in advance, lawyer Usui might not take over the second trial of the case."

"Really? That's not necessarily the case."

When the three people heard the voice coming from behind, they were all startled and turned to look.

After tidying up, there was nothing unusual about him. Saku Hashi, who seemed no different from yesterday, walked out of the elevator, walked towards their dining table, and sat down calmly.

No, it can't be said that there is no difference at all.

Compared to yesterday, Saku Hoshi seemed to be in better condition today. The last knot in his brows was gone, and he was in excellent spirits.

"Saku..." Shiozawa Kenzo looked at his expression and called his colleague's name uncertainly.

For someone who was first targeted by the Phantom Thief of the Heart and then stayed in the police station for a long time, isn't Saku Hashi's state too good?

It was so good that he was a little worried that the other party was completely ignoring him and was getting ready to go crazy.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Sakubo Fashi raised the corners of his lips and poured himself a cup of hot tea. "Actually, being punished by the Phantom Thief of Hearts is not a bad thing. What he said is right. You have the courage to suffer. Killer, why can’t I try confronting her head-on?”

His confidence was not only brought about by the information left to him by the Phantom Thief of Hearts, but also inspired by the message filled with wisecracks.

As an opponent in court, Ritsuko Usui is a fearsome and disgusting lawyer. Many of the methods she will use outside the court are things that Saku Hoshi despises and is afraid to face.

But even so, Ritsuko Usui's record still has many shortcomings.

——At the very least, she really can’t win against Fei Yingli, right?

Even if he lacks the confidence to defeat his opponent head-on, he can go to Fei Yingli for help. As long as the reason is legitimate, Fei Yingli's character will definitely not refuse his request.

"You want to take that case?" Mikasa Yuji's eyes widened, a little surprised, "The difficulty of this case..."

Ritsuko Usui's character is questionable, but her work ability can stand the test and has always been well received in terms of success rate.

The opponent is Ui Bing. How difficult this case is, what he said just now is by no means modest.

"I know it's very difficult, but as expected, if you don't defeat your opponent from the front, you won't be willing to accept it." Saku Hashi smiled.

The progress of the case has not yet reached an irreversible point. There is still room for mediation between the two parties, and he now has a grasp of the omissions that Ui Bing left in the process of handling the case...

"Hit a stick and give me a sweet date. Although I don't know how those guys changed my thinking, but it's really amazing." Sakubo Fashi sighed and summarized his thrilling experience last night. .

"As long as you can think about it." Fei Yingli was stunned for a moment, but seeing his calm and determined expression, she couldn't help but smile, "Don't be too presumptuous, kid."

To be able to become a member of Hieiri's office, Hoshi Saku also has considerable abilities.

The previous choice was probably because he was not confident enough and was annoyed by Ritsuko Usui's attack methods on the defendant, so he made an irrational choice.

Fortunately, it's not too late to turn around.

"...Look at what your mother looks like." Mouri Kogoro on the other side of the restaurant saw this and finally couldn't sit still. "You also said that she is not interested in that boy who looks not serious?"

Even though she has become a mother and is getting older, Fei Eri is still a beautiful woman full of mature charm. This is an objective fact, not to mention her increased charm in the eyes of Mouri Kogoro.

At this moment, seeing her smiling at the good-looking Sakubo Shiyan, Mouri Kogoro's sourness almost overflowed.

"Dad, she just wants to encourage Mr. Saku." Mao Lilan interrupted his complaint with disapproval, "From the time you separated to today, you have been whistling and drooling at pretty girls, haven't you?"

"I, why am I drooling..." After choking on his tea, Mouri Kogoro frowned and retorted.

"The way your eyes want to stick to someone's body is scarier than drooling." With a disdainful snort, Mao Lilan condemned, "You can't even walk when you see a beautiful woman. You men are really like that."

The two boys who were sitting on the other side of the table, facing each other and yawning, were shot inexplicably and turned their heads innocently.

"Don't you know very well whether Mom will fall in love with someone else? You used to rely on your good relationship to do whatever you wanted. If Mom really changes her mind, you will go to her door tomorrow and cry while holding the door." Maoli Lan's offensive has not stopped yet.

"You make me sound like a heartless person. I'm not really sorry for Eri, am I?" Mouri Kogoro protested. As he spoke, he couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved, "Today's meaning is different..."

Today is their wedding anniversary...

Although it seemed too late to discuss this issue now that they were divorced, Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but feel frustrated when he saw that Fei Eri had really hardened her heart and showed no expression.

Perhaps, he should really reflect on the rift between the two of them caused by his quarrels with Yingli over the past few years.

Some injuries, once caused, are irreversible.

Just as he was in a daze and slowly entered into his own rhythm, the sound of a series of high heels approached.

"Mom, good morning!" Mao Lilan stared at Fei Yingli who was getting closer and closer with bright eyes.

Fei Yingli, who had obviously been carefully dressed up, had a little curly hair hanging down her cheeks. When she stood next to Mouri Kogoro, she couldn't help but raise her hand to tidy up her hair on the temples.

"Do you have time to chat?" Looking at Mouri Kogoro who turned his head with a blank expression, Feiying cleared her throat.

Her hands behind her back tightly grasped the beautifully packaged tie box.

————

"In the end, they still had a great wedding anniversary, right?"

"Keep your voice down. If he hears you, he will become angry."

"Didn't I just say something like 'Yingli, I want to apologize to you for my past words and deeds', and something like 'Please come back, I can't bear to miss you anymore'..."

"Shh!"

Mao Lilan quickly covered Conan's mouth, preventing him from finishing what he said next.

Mouri Kogoro, who had changed into a cotton and linen printed tie, walked back to the restaurant, looked at the children sitting at the table, waiting eagerly, and coughed twice in embarrassment.

After being intimate with Fei Yingli for a while in front of the young man, he was still quite embarrassed.

"How's it going? What did mom say?" Mao Lilan tilted her head in anticipation.

As far as she knew, her parents didn't actually have serious fundamental conflicts. Their separation was more like a deadlock that developed after misunderstandings and superimposed emotions were never resolved.

Now, for a rare moment of honesty, Mouri Kogoro bowed his head and admitted his mistake to Fei Eri.

Last night, when she was anxiously looking for Mouri Kogoro, she found that when he went to Ritsuko Usui's ambiguous invitation, he brought several children with him to show his rejection. Fei Eri was also in a good mood.

This is a rare and good opportunity for them to talk about past misunderstandings and knots, so that the relationship can be further developed.

"She said..." Mouri Kogoro pressed his neck awkwardly, and faced his daughter's longing eyes, he reluctantly replied, "Well, we are not planning to remarry for the time being."

"Oh..." Mao Lilan nodded, not discouraged, but his clenched fists couldn't help but relax a little.

Well, she knew it was not that easy to break the ice...

"But, uh, she can consider coming back to stay for a few days occasionally, um..." Mouri Kogoro was embarrassed to say the next words.

Let me see your sincerity, let me see how the man you chose at the beginning will pursue me again... So, I give you a chance to pursue me again.

This kind of almost flirtatious words, whispered between two people is a kind of fun, and it is too embarrassing to tell children.

"Great!" Mao Lilan clasped her hands together and cheered, "I knew mom would change her mind! How about you go back and learn how to cook steak, and then arrange a candlelight dinner?"

"W-what..."

"It's very simple. I can teach you too! When the time comes, I'll tell you there are activities at school and leave you two alone..."

"Hey, hey, it's not as fast as you said..."

"In this case, should I make a bed for my mother? Yes, she will definitely not be willing to live in the master bedroom when she comes back."

"Xiaolan..."

"Why don't you let Conan go downstairs and make do with Tang Ze for two days? Well, it just gives dad some opportunities to participate in solving the case, and lets mom see your current level!"

"What are you talking about to yourself? Hey, don't go there! Yingli hasn't agreed with me yet, hey!"

"It's none of my business..." Conan, who was suddenly dragged down to sleep in the attic downstairs, swallowed the waffles in his mouth with an innocent look.

"You're a renter, you have no right to interfere with other people's arrangements." Tang Ze patted him on the shoulder and suppressed his protest.

Conan looked sideways at Karasawa.

Aren’t you also living downstairs? There is even just a coffee shop downstairs, a barely makeshift place...

"I heard that a cautious legal worker like Fei Yingli will carry a recorder when talking to anyone." Tang Ze suddenly spoke, mentioning it casually as if gossiping.

"Yeah, what do you think she usually records?" Haiyuan Ai, who was eating bread in small bites, held up the milk with satisfaction as she watched the wonderful family ethics drama.

"...What do you mean?" Conan's eyes widened slightly after he understood their hint.

"Be careful, Kudo. Trouble comes from your mouth." Haiyuan Ai raised an eyebrow, "I think Ms. Fei will definitely teach Ms. Lan this trick."

"Maybe, the last time you two were at the Observatory Restaurant..." Tangze said in a longer tone.

He didn't finish what he said, but sweat quickly appeared on Conan's forehead.

Oops, even if he knew that Tang Ze's words were most likely a lie, and considering that Xiaolan's clothes at that time didn't even have a pocket, and there was no such thing as a voice recorder, he was still a little sweaty.

"Um, I, I'm going to the bathroom..." Conan, who couldn't sit still, quickly wiped the debris from the corner of his mouth, picked up the phone, stood on tiptoes and ran in the other direction.

No, he had to send a few messages to Xiaolan to make some innuendo.

Tang Ze already has enough information in his hands. If Xiaolan gets a little bit in his hands and the two of them exchange information, he might as well die...

Watching the anxious detective disappear around the corner, Haihara Ai put away the smile on his lips.

"Okay, the last irrelevant person has left." Wiping the crumbs from his fingertips with a napkin, Haihara Ai took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

After a few quick clicks on the screen, she showed Tangze the screen that appeared.

Since Noah, an excellent assistant artificial intelligence, has been upgraded again, her ability to control her two laboratories has also improved to a higher level.

In the past, she was only able to skillfully operate experimental equipment and summarize experimental records. Now, she has the ability to remotely control the camera position and monitor the progress of experiments in real time.

What is on the screen now is the large white egg left alone in the villa. The shiny surface is particularly dazzling from the camera's perspective. The faint white halo makes the whole egg seem to be illuminated with soft light.

"Since last night, the activity has been continuously increasing." With his fingertips, he clicked on the detection instrument with pulsing numbers in the corner of the screen, and Haihara Ai grimaced, "What on earth did you do?"

"Well..." Tang Ze's eyes drifted to the upper right.

On the surface, it looked like he was just glancing randomly with a guilty conscience, but in fact, the focus of Tangze's gaze was very clear.

He is looking at the progress bar in the upper right corner of his interface.

Last night, the information given by Yamamura Cao filled in the last blank. He has completed all the information collection about Zhu Fu Jingguang, and theoretically all the conditions for resurrection have been met.

Therefore, his mission progress bar disappeared as a matter of course, and was replaced by a countdown to the deadline that he had not seen since he came to this world.

Anyone who has played P5 knows that there is an extremely classic design in the P5 UI, which is the dead line countdown in the upper right corner.

As a time mark to distinguish the main chapters, it will clearly give the current time prompt and tell the player how long it is until the end date of this palace strategy period.

After traveling through time, there was always a blank space. Tangze had gradually gotten used to it and regarded it as a decorative pattern.

As a result, when the playoffs started, it would have new effects, which Tangze didn't expect.

[There are still [10] days until Zhufu Jingguang is revived]

"Well, as you can imagine, our plan was almost successful." Without explaining the process to Haibara Ai in detail, Karasawa just replied calmly, "Now is the time to witness the miracle, Shiho."

"What a miracle!" The person in charge of the experiment, who was not notified in time and was frightened half to death by the message in the middle of the night, dunked on Tangze's head without hesitation, "You didn't say anything like this earlier!"

"Oh, this, it will happen when it comes. It will succeed when it should succeed. How can I inform you in advance before success?"

"Is this the problem?" Hui Yuan Ai crossed his arms, "The problem now is that its cognitive radiation is constantly increasing. If there are organized people near home monitoring, this matter will be exposed sooner or later. "

It should be said that this egg has a wavelength similar to that of X alloy, which is why Haibara Ai decided to keep a close eye on it and examine it carefully.

At this juncture, if the organization notices what they are doing, something will be very wrong.

"What do you think?" Tang Ze frowned after understanding what his sister was saying.

Under normal circumstances, it is of course impossible for members of the organization to monitor Mihua 2-chome.

The problem is, due to the emergence of the temporary antidote, Bellmode is closely monitoring 2-chome, trying to find an opportunity to take away Haibara Ai and execute her secretly.

"Before the secret is exposed, we have to solve Belmod's problem." Haiyuan Ai pursed her lips and dug her fingertips into the fabric of the skirt.

Belmod, this codename that sounds mellow and gentle, is actually one of the codename members that she is most afraid of and dare not face. As long as she slightly imagines what kind of eyes this woman will look at her, Haibara Ai almost restrains herself. Can't help but tremble instinctively.

But now, since she has put forward the plan, and the miracle that is about to happen makes everything imminent, there is no room for her to back down.

"Start that plan Karasawa. I-I'm ready."
