The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Welcome - ah, Karasawa-kun is back."

"Hey, Mr. Amuro didn't go to work today?" Karasawa pushed open the door of Polo Cafe and was surprised to see Azusa Enomoto at the counter, and looked around.

Recently, he was busy dealing with matters involving Belmode and the FBI, so Karasawa didn't pay attention to Tohru Amuro's movements for several days.

Except for the day of the Halloween party, when he and Amuro had an air of peace, briefly informing him of Belmod's arrival and his plan to take Conan to disguise himself and find a way to get Belmod away from Japan. No further explanation was given to him.

After all, whether it is Akai Shuichi or Miyano Shiho, Toru Amuro is still the king at this stage. If possible, Karasawa still does not want them to have a fierce conflict now.

It was quite difficult to figure out Akai Shuichi's mysterious family members scattered all over the world. Toru Amuro did not connect the potential connections between them for the time being.

But Akai Shuichi is always hanging around under Amuro Toru's nose. According to the opponent's IQ and horse-drawing ability, it is extremely uncertain when he will focus on the fake identity of Iwai Munehisa.

Karasawa now hopes that before the two of them collide head-on, Zhufu Jingguang, who has returned to the human world, can successfully connect with Fangtani Rei and solve the biggest problem between the two of them.

As for not getting along with each other, the inability to get along with each other in the Gundam is an innate setting. Karasawa doesn't expect them to have a harmonious and friendly relationship, just don't fight for life or death.

Thinking of Morofuku Jingguang who was still staying in the stronghold to make up for three years of missed progress, Karasawa felt that it would not be a bad thing not to see Toru Amuro for the time being.

Even if his starting point is good, he has indeed given Fang Gu Rei a big job, a job as big as one person. He is really afraid that Fang Gu Rei's blood pressure will rise, and he will start to liquidate from the time he debuts as joker...

"He didn't come to work. He had said hello in advance and said he would be busy these two days. It's not easy to be a detective, right?" Azusa Enomoto smiled understandingly and put the dinner prepared for Karasawa on the table. .

When he turned around to serve the curry, Azusa Enomoto couldn't help but think that if his career improved, Mr. Amuro might finally leave officially.

Without this handsome waiter, the cafe's business will be greatly reduced. Not only will she and everyone who frequents the shop feel lonely. But seeing Mr. Amuro develop better, she will definitely be happy for him.

And in that case, it would probably be a good thing for Tang Zejun. The attic of a cafe where people come and go is definitely not a suitable growing environment for high school students.

Mr. Amuro is getting along so well with Karasawa-kun now, so he will definitely not leave him alone.

Placing the curry in front of Karasawa, Azusa Enomoto bent his eyes and smiled gently at him.

Everyone should work hard.

"That's good, uh, I mean, it seems that his office is quite busy, which is a good thing." Tangze breathed a sigh of relief, put down his commuting bag, and sat down at the bar.

"It's okay if he doesn't come today. It's raining so heavily. Even the little girls who want to see the handsome guy don't have time to come over, right?" Azusa Enomoto said, winking at Karasawa.

She had heard a little bit of their discussion while delivering the food. In fact, since Karasawa arrived, in addition to Amuro Toru, Karasawa has also become a very commercially valuable sight, and there are also many girls rushing to see him.

The handsome dark-skinned waiter with a gentle and friendly smile, and the beautiful boy sitting quietly reading a book in the cafe without saying a word, each have their own attractions. The cafe is slowly becoming a popular check-in shop in Mihua Commercial Street.

"The rain is quite heavy." Not hearing the same ridicule towards him from Azusa Enomoto's condescension, Karasawa turned to look at the rain curtain outside the floor-to-ceiling window and seriously suggested, "In that case, why not set a limit on rainy days? Recipe or something?”

Azusa Enomoto was stunned. He held his chin and thought for a moment. The more he thought about it, the more interesting the idea became. He nodded seriously: "Eh? It's a good idea... Do you have a keen sense of surprise? Tang Zejun, it sounds like you can do business well." Very profitable type.”

"Yeah, from the sound of it, it's a product that people will rush to buy, right?" Tang Ze picked up his sugar-sweetened coffee with concern.

No, he has to buy it every rainy day.

It's best to have one that can increase the HP of your teammates if you eat it. Other special buffs are also fine, but he won't pick them.

It's urgent. He has a lot of teammates to train with now. It's still necessary to refresh the impression space in special weather.

Money, he really couldn’t afford a scanning electron microscope. He didn’t want to be screwed over by Sister Mingmei, who was outsmarting the bank——

————

"Ah sneeze——"

"Xiao Ai? Are you still recovering from your cold?" Hearing her little sneeze, Yoshida Ayumi hurriedly turned around her umbrella and looked at Haibara Ai nervously.

Although she had always had a stereotype of the quiet Haihara Ai as being in poor health, and it didn't seem strange to be sick for many days, she always felt like she hadn't seen him for a long time.

The last time I had this feeling was when another boy in the class before Haibara Ai transferred here was diagnosed with a rare disease after being absent from work, and is still hospitalized...

Thinking of the possibility of this premonition, she couldn't help but feel nervous. She touched Haihara Ai's hair and neck carefully to see if she had been caught in the rain.

"It's okay. Maybe my immunity hasn't recovered yet." Haihara Ai felt a little embarrassed to be taken care of by a girl in the first grade of elementary school with such concern. "My body is already well."

In the past, she was a researcher who stayed in the laboratory for many years and was in contact with reagents all day long. After becoming a child, her skin became more fragile.

However, now that her sister and Tang Ze pull her to exercise regularly, her physical fitness has improved a lot. As for being forced to take sick leave...

Haiyuan looked at the culprit sadly.

"You and Haibara were almost kidnapped. It's really scary." Motojima Kojima was expressing shock at the new news he heard. "The other party also had a gun, and he was almost kidnapped."

In fact, they have already been captured... although the entire operation was actively planned by them.

Conan laughed a few times in his heart, but kept the same tone on his face: "Yes, luckily he was saved in the end. Although the prisoner still escaped..."

Using this logic to explain the sudden absence of him and Haibara Ai at the same time may sound like an excuse to others, but it is very reasonable to everyone in the Young Detective Team.

They have long been accustomed to everyone's accidental physique, and the few elementary school students did not express surprise at their remarks.

It's just that he was kidnapped by the prisoner. Once you get used to it, you'll get used to it.

"But it's great that you two can come back to school. We've been worried about it recently." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was in high spirits, and his rain boots were particularly powerful in the puddles.

"You two fell ill one after another. We should have gone to visit you." Kojima Mota complained smoothly, "But Conan said that colds are contagious, so we were not allowed to come."

Haiyuan Ai, who personally gave the instructions, adjusted the angle of the umbrella and said nothing.

At that time, Edogawa Conan was still a larger version of himself, so how could they transform into a sick Haibara Ai?

Could it be that he was like that guy from Karasawa who changed his identity back and forth? I'm exhausted.

"By the way, how is the progress of your research?" Conan, who had not received any new information from Haibara Ai, asked curiously after mentioning the plan.

After all, it was the sample he had worked so hard to bring back. Even if he didn't understand the content of Haihara Ai's research, he still wanted to hear the details.

"The progress is not bad." Mentioning this, Haihara Ai had a smile on his face, "I didn't expect that there would be a day when we could collect so many samples from APTX users."

No, don’t talk about her. I’m afraid even the organization that manufactures the drugs wouldn’t think of it, right?

Now Haibara Ai has the blood of the old version of Belmod, a mature case of taking drugs, the blood of APTX4869 survivor Kudo Shinichi and herself, and using the power of cognitive science, she can temporarily apply the effects of Kudo's medicine to herself. Tangze's blood was on his body.

The required experimental groups, control groups, and various variables were all present. She was particularly energetic when starting the experiment these two days, feeling that she had already held the next Nobel Prize in her hand.

Not to mention, the reason why she asked for these things...

"Edogawa, I had concerns before and never told you." Lowering his voice again, Haihara Ai said softly at a very low volume, "Actually, I have met that person."

"That person?" Conan, who had difficulty catching the content of her words, was stunned and didn't realize who she was referring to.

"The boss of the organization." When Haihara Ai said these words, only his breath was left.

Even in the pouring rain, on the street with few pedestrians, even in the small space made up of umbrellas, she did not dare to say this word out loud.

That was Shirley's biggest bargaining chip, and it was also the reason why the organization wanted to eliminate her most now.

That’s the bad part about being the organization’s “personal doctor.” Hui Yuan Ai laughed at himself in his heart.

"What?! Uh..." Conan almost shouted loudly, but Haihara Ai covered his mouth with a quick reaction.

"I just knew you would react this way." Hui Yuan Ai shook his head, "Don't be so excited."

Tang Ze was very calm when he knew the news. The detective really likes to make a fuss.

"You know such crucial news, then why..." Conan looked at Haihara Ai up and down, feeling puzzled.

His disbelief was two-fold.

You had such insider information, and you actually held it back until today? !

What is the organization doing? How dare you fall out with someone who has such insider information? !

"Because this news is of little value now." Haiyuan Ai sighed.

She also wants to find the biggest mastermind as soon as possible. Tangze has hands and eyes, has connections with intelligence organizations in various countries, and has a detective who is smart enough. Then the power to strangle the organization will no longer be a fantasy. .

However, this news has lost its effectiveness.

"What do you mean..." Through Tang Ze's explanation, he had already understood that the real purpose of developing drug A was the "side effects" that happened to him. Conan's newly rising mood couldn't help but sink.

He thought of some possibility...

"I mean, I have seen him in the past. He is old, his life hangs by a thread, and he feels like he will die at any time." Hui Yuan Ai lowered his eyelashes and looked at the brightly colored floor tiles under his feet that were watered by the rain. , "You have seen the true effect of Drug A. I also said that I am not the first developer."

In fact, Haibara Ai, who had brainstormed with Karasawa several times on this point, had a vague idea that the reason why the organization dared to kill her parents without any scruples was precisely because of the development and development of this drug. Iteration is something organizations are familiar with, and top researchers like them can play a big role, but not much.

But this is just a vague guess. She has only had such divergent thoughts and cannot be certain.

"I feel that he must not be the same as I have seen him before." Haiyuan Ai pursed his lips, "I'm afraid, this is the biggest reason he dares to let me see him."

She was not sure how many people in the organization had met BOSS, but according to her estimate, it was not as few as expected.

However, she was not sure how many people could still recognize BOSS.

At least, Karasawa told her with certainty that Rum himself was looking for the BOSS. What is he like now...

"Do you think he has successfully used this drug?" Conan's fist clenched violently.

"Yes." Haiyuan nodded sadly, and finally revealed what she really wanted to do before this plan started, "The two of us are extremely special cases, and I am not sure whether our physical changes are related to that person. Absolutely consistent. So I had to get a sample from Belmode. She is the only successful individual I know who has taken this type of drug for a long time."

"Looking at you, you want to do more research than just studying the principles of APTX." A rare light appeared on her face, and Conan raised his eyebrows.

His companion, who had become a child like him, was a sensitive girl with an introverted personality and a bit of pessimism from time to time. Even when she pretended to be a child, the smile on her face was faint and shallow.

She rarely looks like this now, with a determined expression and shining eyes.

Only at this time could he clearly feel how confident and proud Miyano Shiho was in the field of scientific research, just like he was in reasoning and solving crimes.

"I think I can find an accurate anchor and create a 'detection method' that can be used to determine whether the other party has taken drug A." Lowering the tip of the umbrella, Haibara Ai revealed the secret that Tang Ze met that night. A very confident smile.

She is indeed powerless. Compared to Tang Ze, her sister, and even the detective next to her who has also become a child, she seems to be the passive one.

To be rescued, to be sheltered, to be cared for...

Tangze was right, she should pick up her own weapons and show her power on the battlefield that only she can enter.

"I will definitely catch them!"

————

"Still didn't catch anything?"

Hearing the business of the office door opening behind him, Fangtani, who was leaning in his seat with his eyes closed, didn't ask back.

"Uh, sorry..." Kazami Yuya, who was striding forward, suddenly became cautious when he heard his cold voice.

Putting down the report quietly, Feng Jian Yuya shut his mouth obediently, without any need to make amends for himself.

There is no way, some things just can't be done, no matter how hard you work, you still can't do it. Looking for some excuses now will only add fuel to your boss's unhappiness.

"Huh, forget it, I was too hasty." Jiang Guling exhaled and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Karasawa informed him of Belmod's big move in advance. Although he only expressed his knowledge lightly on the surface, privately, it was impossible for him to ignore such a big opportunity and not try it.

Going to the Halloween party on the cruise ship was about to try to arrest Vodka. It was just a side attempt. It was a three-pronged attempt. He didn't hold out much hope.

After investigating the murder on the ship, he finally chose to focus on the puppet murderer who was easily manipulated by Belmod.

The wishing website, which is obviously inseparable from the organization, played a very important role in this case.

Two problems were exposed in this case.

First of all, Belmod's operating authority on the website is significantly higher than that of ordinary code members.

It is very simple for an organization to send murder tools to the murderer, and the people who work may not know the reason.

After all, for this kind of organization, if the boss assigns you a task to deliver dangerous goods, would you still ask why he does this?

This kind of low-level undercover agent should die quickly in the organization, um... he should.

However, Belmode was able to accurately use this part of the information to arrange a customized murder case according to her own wishes. She must have a deeper understanding of the website than most people.

Secondly, the resources used in this case far exceed those in other similar cases.

Exaggerating like Moritani Teiji, they all just used the shell of the dark web black market to sell such a large amount of explosives as part of the transaction. Like this case, they caught the murderer, coerced and lured them, and gave detailed methods of committing the crime. And time, this is the first time.

The more energy you spend, the easier it is to leave traces. Jianggu Ling keenly discovered this and started a targeted investigation.

Unfortunately, as Belmode's plan failed, she was urgently called away as Karasawa expected. This part of the channel was obviously deliberately cleaned up by the organization. He hurriedly worked overtime here, but in the end he only caught There are a few fringe minions living here.

"Don't be too impatient. First, deal with the few people currently under control, including those who transport contraband and help with candid photography and surveillance. The interrogation work needs to be accelerated. Communicate with the criminal police and it is best to temporarily transfer the suspect. Let's go..." After the brief setback, Jianggu Ling quickly re-entered the work rhythm and arranged the next work.

After explaining these problems, he quickly changed into a set of more casual casual clothes.

Belmod left a lot of messes behind, and Gin was responsible for her own reception and transportation work, so some other things had to fall on his head.

For example, how to deal with the new Chiaki himself, and whether he can restore his identity...

While thinking, he took out the mobile phone that belonged to Bourbon, skillfully opened the encrypted mailbox, and started to check the new messages.

An email that had been lying there quietly for several hours was finally opened by him.

After reading only the first line of the email, Jianggu Ling paused and frowned instantly.
