The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Xiaolan, Xiaolan——"

"Eh?!" Mao Lilan, who was in a daze, was frightened by her best friend's sudden voice and sat upright. She slammed the screen of her mobile phone on the table, "What, what's wrong?!"

"I came back after queuing, and there were too many people in the bathroom... So, I should ask what's wrong, okay? I was so surprised. Is there any secret that you can't tell me?" Suzuki Sonoko sighed heavily. , "What's happened to you recently? Are you still struggling with the matter of Teacher Judy?"

The fact that Teacher Judy's true identity was actually an agent from the United States shocked even Suzuki Sonoko, who was familiar with all kinds of strange people in the circle.

Mao Lilan, who appeared at the port on the day of the case, seemed to know something inside. From time to time, he would fall into such a state of silent thinking, which Suzuki Sonoko was not used to.

"You look a bit like that crazy reasoning guy. Is this what the so-called husband and wife look like?" Suzuki Sonoko put her hands on her hips and teased.

"Hey, hey, stop talking nonsense." Thinking of where the real Kudo Shinichi was, Mao Lilan's cheeks turned red and she quickly stopped Suzuki Sonoko from continuing, "I'm just, um, a little worried..."

"What are you worried about? Are you worried that Teacher Judy won't come back? Didn't she say that she will come to Japan to see us soon to solve the problem of this case? The FBI can also take a vacation and have a personal life, right?" Suzuki Sonoko tilted her head , guessing like this.

"I'm not worried about that." Mao Lilan's eyes hesitantly fell on the variety show trailer flashing on the billboard not far away. Seeing Goro Akechi's face flashing by, he hesitated for a moment and swallowed his worries.

Now, when she sees Goro Akechi's face, she will think of that photo, and then she will feel subtle worries and uneasiness.

For example, since the FBI came from the United States to track down prisoners, would Goro Akechi, who is also from the United States, be one of the targets of their suspicion?

As a result of accidentally breaking into the scene of the confrontation between the FBI and their arrest target, and accidentally discovering the photos of Judy's residence, Mao Lilan got part of the explanation from Akai Shuichi and Judy——

The target they are chasing is a criminal who has the ability to disguise himself as real. The reason why Judy chose to come to Didan as a teacher is precisely because this person pretended to be a new doctor and came to Didan as a school doctor.

Conan became involved in this incident because he saw the problem with the new doctor and assisted them in arresting him.

As for the mention of Karasawa, Karasawa's sister also appeared at the scene. The perpetrator was related to the death of Karasawa's parents. The research results of Karasawa's parents disappeared with their death. Now Karasawa inherits the legacy of his parents. The patent he issued, many people also agreed that his parents’ research materials were handed over to him, so he became a coveted existence for many guys who pay attention to these results...

To a high school student who knew nothing about her, they did not explain more of the intricate network of relationships in detail, but Mao Lilan understood that Tangze and his sister had become the targets of others.

The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade. Two underage children have to face so many open and secret arrows, and any kind of danger is possible.

Karasawa, a guy who has suffered too many setbacks, seems to never be able to escape the twists and turns of fate. In order to protect everyone and save himself, Shinichi is still taking risks. This fact is Mao Lilan's recent A source of anxiety.

She didn't know how to help them, so she had no choice but to go to the training camp to improve her physical skills. Next time, if such a dangerous situation happened again, she would definitely deal with it more calmly...

"Okay, I understand, you are worried about your father's schoolmate, right?" Suzuki Sonoko patted Mao Lilan on the shoulder carelessly, "When will he go to that building? I will go with you!"

"Eh?" Mao Lilan blinked, her thoughts slowly coming back from the confrontation between good and evil, and the battle between criminals and agents. It took her a few seconds to understand what Sonoko Suzuki was saying, "Oh, you're talking about the twins from Nishitama City. Tower..."

"Yes, Mio Tokiwa is the daughter of the Tokiwa Group. Although she is not young, she is still single and has excellent conditions in all aspects. Such a 'school girl' suddenly issued a separate invitation, even if Miss Tokiwa had no idea. That old pervert of yours may not be able to control it." Suzuki Sonoko crossed her arms and snorted in disbelief.

The conflicts between her parents and the rigid relationship in the family have caused too much trouble for her best friend since elementary school. Suzuki Sonoko can see how eager Mao Lilan is to repair the relationship with her parents.

So at this moment, she simply had a sense of mission that she could do better than me.

"Bringing his daughter and her daughter's classmates, no matter how bold he is, he won't dare to act rashly, right?" Suzuki Sonoko waved her fist ambitiously.

"Actually, my parents have a pretty good relationship recently..." Mao Lilan smiled awkwardly, "The two of them have been seeing each other more frequently recently than in the past. My father even cooked a meal for my mother."

"Since it is a critical period, we should be more careful to guard against death!" Suzuki Sonoko nodded firmly, "Leave it to me!"

"But……"

"Just think of it as a fun show. The Joban Group's main business is computer information technology, and there are a lot of interesting things."

"Okay, the two of them made an appointment to meet in two days..."

The two high school girls stopped lingering, held each other's arms, and walked away talking and laughing.

The man who was sitting not far from them, dressed like a homeless person, wrapped his coat around his body and huddled deeper into the corner of the shop.

The contents of the camera hidden in the man's coat were faithfully transmitted to Belmod's computer through radio signals.

Holding her aching chest, Belmode, who was sitting in a dark and quiet room, heard the message and got up from the bed with difficulty.

The physical pain and the sharp sensory stimulation caused by the drugs made her feel even weaker now.

She tried to go beyond the rules and do some extraordinary things. Due to her special status, it was indeed impossible to cause excessive harm to her like other code members. She just took some drugs with clear side effects. A small punishment would be a big punishment. commandment.

These drugs can indeed alleviate her severe fatigue and mental weakness. However, the price is that her five senses are too sharp during the period of taking them, which makes her photophobic, can only wear pure cotton clothes, cannot speak and communicate with others normally, and can only act like Like a prisoner, he stayed quietly in this environment that was more secluded than a prison.

There is no need to deprive her of her freedom, she is not even subject to any communication restrictions, and all this humiliation is just a small punishment...

The computer screen was adjusted to the lowest brightness, but it was still so irritating that she couldn't help but cry. Belmode tried hard to adapt to the light emitted by the screen and distinguish the content of the email.

She must find out why Angel appeared at the dock that night, and she must ensure that the child does not discover the secret that may lead to death.

And if Mao Lilan finds out... she will find a way to prevent this from being noticed by anyone.

In the photo, Mao Lilan was sitting on the roadside waiting for a friend to go to the bathroom, looking at the photos on her phone in a daze.

The quality of the photos was very high. The private detective she hired was very experienced and the equipment used was affordable, so Belmode could identify what was on the phone at a glance.

It was a remade Polaroid. In the photo, Goro Akechi, whose face was stained with blood, had his eyebrows lowered and he was holding Tang Zezhao's bloody head, with a cold and mocking expression on his face.

"This is...!" Belmode looked at the photo carefully, comparing it with the content in his memory, ignoring the stimulation of the bright light, and slowly opened his eyes.

Physiological tears rolled down in large drops. Sitting at the table with messy hair, she seemed to be crying over the tragedy on the screen.

However, the look on her face slowly turned from confusion and shock to realization and shock of another meaning.

She seems to have figured out what Bourbon used to blackmail Kumel...

Belmod instinctively picked up the phone and typed in Kumel's number. Just before dialing, he put down his hand hesitantly.

Both Bourbon and Kumail are deep-minded conspirators.

Before you get tangible evidence to verify your guess, it's better not to show your cards easily.

With that in mind, she dialed another number.

"Hey, it's me... I want to go back to Japan to investigate some things... Well, I know, so I won't get involved in Shirley's problem... You still need my help in your mission, don't push back. ,Ireland."

"Participate in the inauguration ceremony of the building? Why should I go? I don't know this senior sister."

Putting down the brush, Tang Ze turned around and looked at the old man behind him with pretense of confusion.

Ruyue Fengshui stroked the crutch in his hand, looked outside the studio, and said nothing.

Tang Ze turned around and followed his line of sight and looked forward.

Kisaragi's house is built on a hillside, with a higher view than many buildings below. The mist-shrouded Mount Fuji is surrounded by huge floor-to-ceiling glass, like a huge painting embedded in the wall, which has a great visual impact.

Regardless of whether his creative style focusing on Mount Fuji and his pursuit of the ultimate creative concept are worthy of admiration, in terms of his research on Mount Fuji alone, Kisaragi Fengshui claimed that in order to paint Mount Fuji, he carefully selected the best viewing angle to build his home. This should not be false. Anyone who is lucky enough to walk here will be shocked by such visual stimulation.

This is also the epitome of Ruyue Fengshui's lifelong artistic pursuit and the window to his entire life.

And now, the 100-story Nishitama Twin Towers stand right in the middle of the window.

Seen from this angle, the sky-high buildings even penetrate the peak of Mount Fuji, as if cutting the large windows of Kisaragi Peak Water in half from the middle.

It was as if the canvas was polluted with meaningless stains, and anyone who saw this scene would probably be unable to help but sigh.

Karasawa looked at Mount Fuji on the canvas in front of him and couldn't help but shake his head.

Considering that Mio Tokiwa considered herself to be a disciple of Kisaragi Hosui regardless of whether she had learned the skills or not, it was impossible not to know the philosophy that her teacher talked about all day long. Her choice of location was really unethical.

In other words, she directly used the angle carefully chosen by her teacher for free and used it as one of the selling points of her building's landscape. By the way, she destroyed the landscape of Ruyuefengshui. Her evil index is not as simple as leaving you a studio in the building. explained.

What's more, Ruyue Fengshui is already very old. If you ask someone to live in a room on the 60th or 70th floor for retirement, no one will be able to praise her for being filial.

"She asked you to go with me by name." When Mio Tokiwa was mentioned, Ruyue Fengshui's eyebrows were very cold.

"Why? Senior sister, you want to get to know me?" When playing the role of Kitagawa Yusuke, Karasawa usually stores away his emotional intelligence and focuses on being an outspoken person, so he just said directly, "Is it because I won an award and am a little famous recently? ?”

"That's more or less what I mean." Kisaragi Hosui withdrew his gaze and glanced at his cheap apprentice who picked it up for free. "She tried her best to promote the completion of this building because she wanted to make it a landmark building in the entire Tokyo area. "

"Then why didn't she just give me the invitation letter?" Tang Ze asked knowingly.

Ruyue Fengshui sneered.

Why else could it be, of course it was to highlight the relationship between fellow disciples and to add some leverage to one's own connections.

Kitagawa Yusuke is a somewhat special painter. He came from a humble background and suddenly became famous. The only connection he had with the entire industry was Ru Yue Feng Shui, who was inexplicably forced to become his disciple.

Now is the window period for him to start to get involved in art-related industries. At this time, Kitagawa Yusuke's social value is extremely strong, and this is what Tokiwa Mio values.

Ruyue Fengshui rubbed the wine glass on the table, gently turned it upside down, and quietly looked at its jade-like luster.

"Anyway, you can go there with me later. I happen to have something I want to communicate with Mio."

"...Okay teacher." Tang Ze looked at his fingers sliding back and forth on the cup and nodded vaguely.

Yes, it's almost time.

————

After seeing off Kitagawa Yusuke who had finished studying today, Kisaragi Hosui tidied up his kimono and returned to the studio.

Kitagawa Yusuke is an excellent student and an excellent painter.

Although he would make some strange remarks from time to time when speaking, and although he was a guy who often choked people to death, he had always respected him very much after establishing the master-disciple relationship and was very serious about his studies.

This is not the same as Kisaragi Hosui's idea. His initial expectations for Kitagawa Yusuke were not much higher than those of Tokiwa Mio and others.

It can only be said that some things are indeed unexpected blessings. Unfortunately, the timing of their meeting may be a bit late.

It's a shame not to be able to witness the growth of such a maverick artist.

Kisaragi Hosui sighed slowly and turned to the front of the easel, preparing to carefully examine Kitagawa Yusuke's progress today and consider how to give suggestions for the next step.

However, as soon as he turned around, Ruyue Fengshui's movements were a pause.

The pure and soft colors of Mount Fuji on the canvas are cut open by a dark trace, and the ink stains across the entire canvas spill out a blood-like texture.

Kisaragi Hosui was sure that when Kitagawa Yusuke was sent away, the painting was not like this.
