The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Are you really not coming with us, Karasawa? Although the banquet may not be anything fun, the food will definitely be good."

"No, I wasn't included in the invitation. It would be too abrupt to just run over there."

"Hey, is that so? What a pity. I wanted to introduce Kitagawa-kun to you. Speaking of which, it seems that you have never met Kitagawa-kun. Every time you meet him, you happen to be away..."

"Kitagawa, Yusuke, right? I've seen him on the news. Does it match your aesthetic, Sonoko-san?"

"That's not bad..."

Looking at Karasawa's face in the mirror, which was far different in style from Kitagawa Yusuke, but no less attractive, Suzuki Sonoko lowered her head in embarrassment.

In fact, she didn't say anything when she met Hattori Heiji at the school festival. If they really discussed mate selection, she was indeed more inclined to sports boys. Whether it was Kitagawa Yusuke or Karasawa, she tended to admire them. The other guy is good-looking, but he has no regrets about not being able to seduce him.

Therefore, she was a little stunned when she was asked to praise another handsome guy of similar level in front of Tang Ze.

"I understand, I understand. You just think he looks better, so you can cuddle up with the rabbits and get close to him." Tang Ze patted her shoulder comfortingly, expressing his understanding, "Your true defensive type should be that. A sporty person with a healthy complexion, a stronger body shape, and a strong appearance, right?”

"Hey, can you tell?" Suzuki Sonoko held her face and exclaimed in a low voice.

Oops, even Karasawa can easily detect the subtle differences in her preferences. Could this be the reason why she failed to hook up with any pool noodle...

"I feel it a little bit." Karasawa, who didn't want to say anything, simply answered and waved to Shimabukuro Kimie behind him.

Not to mention that Suzuki Sonoko is obviously more optimistic about Hattori Heiji when faced with so many models of Kudo Shinichi. Just by looking at Kyogoku's actual situation, you can guess her true preferences.

Some people may think that this is because it is rare for Kyogoku to actively pursue her opposite sex, but in fact this is not a necessary condition for their mutual affection.

As the daughter of the Suzuki Consortium, if she really wants a good-looking licking dog, Suzuki Sonoko can raise a pond at will. You see, the financial situation may not be worthy of her Yosui Reika, right?

Will they really consider Kyogoku's pursuit, in addition to the other party's indeed sincere character, there is also the fact that Kyogoku is indeed the type that is attractive to Suzuki Sonoko.

Suzuki Sonoko may be very easy-going in many aspects, but she has no tolerance for aesthetics.

"Let me see..." Kimie Shimabukuro, who changed her hair color slightly and dyed her hair Tiffany blue, which is more eye-catching than pink, walked over, checked the condition of Suzuki Sonoko's hair, and nodded, "Okay, basically Now that it’s done, go clean it up a bit and I’ll help you with the final details.”

When Suzuki Sonoko heard this, she had no time to worry about how Karasawa came to this conclusion. She hurriedly got up and went outside to rinse the hair dye from her hair.

Watching Suzuki Sonoko's bouncing back, Shimabukuro Kimie turned her head and pushed up the big bright yellow glasses on her face: "Do you have any plans? You asked me to come and style this young lady... …”

"Actually, I don't have any plan. I just feel that if I don't take the initiative to intervene, that face-blind Gin will cause me trouble again." Karasawa glanced at the photo of Suzuki Sonoko placed in front of the dressing mirror, raised his eyebrows, and casually placed it Thrown into the trash can.

Suzuki Sonoko was very dissatisfied after seeing the predicted photo of herself ten years later that day, so she wanted to change her look before going to the banquet. Karasawa figured it out with a few provocative questions.

Although the second daughter of the Suzuki family has no shortage of styling and beauty resources, after all, she didn’t care much about these aspects in the past. So when Karasawa suggested that she could ask May, a makeup artist who has helped her several times, to help her design, Suzuki Sonoko naturally readily agreed.

It's not that he has to intervene, but Karasawa mainly feels that if he doesn't intervene at all, Suzuki Sonoko will happily run to the venue with the same hairstyle as Miyano Shiho to suck sniper bullets, and the intensity of the explosion has already been exceeded. Tangze, who had doubled his fortune several times, felt that he still shouldn't take the risk.

If Gin's hands were itchy and he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't find Shirley to shoot him twice, then he would naturally give Gin this chance.

"Okay, sometimes when you have control freak symptoms, you look like the mastermind behind the scenes, leader." Shimabukuro Kimie sneered a few times and patted Karasawa on the shoulder.

Due to May's personality, she is wearing a pair of high heels with blade-like heels. She is now slightly taller than Karasawa, and the photo shoot is very smooth.

"Aren't we supposed to be the masterminds behind the scenes?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows.

Just as Shimabukuro Kimie was about to say something back to him, Suzuki Sonoko, who had washed her hair, rushed back to the room with a towel on her head.

"Teacher May! I've finished washing! Please hurry up, time is almost up..."

She couldn't help but pause when she saw Shimabukuro Kimie's long manicured fingers resting on Karasawa's shoulders.

This fashionable and eye-catching makeup artist is cool and classy. She is good in both aesthetics and technique, but her aesthetics towards the opposite sex are a bit too harsh...

Suzuki Sonoko, who was in a delicate mood, deliberately cleared her throat. With a sense of mission to protect her friend's moral integrity from the strange aunt, she squeezed past the two people and sat back in the hairdressing chair.

"Please hurry up! If you don't hurry up, I won't be able to catch up with the gathering!" Suzuki Sonoko, who knew her actions were stiff, closed her eyes and shouted regardless.

Anyway, she is not a prostitute for nothing. If she wants to find an acquaintance, she should pay. Just treat her as a young lady.

Shimabukuro Kimie shook her head dumbfounded, glanced reproachfully at Karasawa, who had created too many strange settings for this identity, and stepped forward to straighten Suzuki Sonoko's head.

"Okay, leave it to me, tonight's party star."

————

"Ah, why is this young lady procrastinating?"

Sitting in the driver's seat, Mouri Kogoro looked at his watch frequently, then looked at the setting sun that was about to sink to the horizon, and complained softly.

Nishitama City is not close to Yoneka Town by car, and if we delay for a while, it may take more than double the time to pass through the bustling downtown area with a lot of people during the evening rush hour.

The relationship between him and Tokiwa Mio was slightly stalemate due to the unsuccessful commission, but because of this, it would be rude to "play a big role" and be late.

"Okay, I just asked her, and she said she will be here soon." Mao Lilan, holding a bouquet of flowers, retorted for her friend, "Yuanzi also has her own things to be busy with."

"Hey, troublesome rich lady..." Mouri Kogoro muttered again. After all, he was short-handed and finally shut his mouth honestly.

Regardless of Suzuki Sonoko's purpose in establishing this fund to support public security work, he, a detective who has encountered too many murder cases and has inevitably been a drag on his commission, has indeed received a lot of financial and work support.

"I'm really looking forward to tonight's banquet!"

"The food will be sumptuous, right? I remember the last time I visited, they had arranged a lot of tables."

"It's the kind of dinner you see on TV, where there are waiters coming and going with wine glasses for everyone to take, right? Ah, this is the first time I've seen a real banquet."

"Will there be eel rice?"

"...It's impossible to prepare something like this at a banquet, right? Do you want those who attend to stand and eat with bowls?"

"It's okay if you don't have it. It's okay if you have something delicious!"

A few elementary school students sitting in the back row of the SUV chatted enthusiastically about the evening's activities. Haihara Ai, who was paying attention to them, withdrew her gaze in amusement, leaned against the flower bed, and glanced at the Polo Cafe behind her.

It's not yet dinner time, and the cafe has not yet reached its peak flow, but it is already one-third full.

No matter how you look at the waiters walking through it, there is no sign of Karasawa and Toru Amuro.

Yuan Jiaming was detained by Karasawa, and the banquet was marked as a target by the Phantom Thieves. The organization tonight must be extremely busy...

"Haihara. I did some research. In addition to serving as the chief engineer and technical supervisor of the TOKIWA Group owned by Tokiwa Mio, Hara Jiaming is also one of the directors of the company and holds a certain amount of original shares..." Conan intervened. Kabuto had completely different expectations for tonight's banquet, "Tell me, how likely is it that this company itself is related to the organization?"

Taking into account Kitagawa Yusuke's identity, the influence of the Twin Towers Building on his teacher Hosui Kisaragi, and his behavior at the Metropolitan Police Department two days ago, it would be unreasonable to say that the sign that appeared on the outer wall of the building had nothing to do with him. Too likely.

However, considering the factor of Yuan Jiaming, no one can tell whether the target of their declaration of war is the company's top executives themselves, or the deeper shadow behind them.

"Maybe that's the case." Haihara Ai nodded and returned his gaze to Conan's face, "The organization has been recruiting young people with high potential in many fields such as finance, biomedicine, and applied chemistry from a very early stage. People. For well-known reasons, it now also includes the field of psychology. Companies such as TOKIWA Group that develop information technology are definitely in their observation sequence.”

"Well, Representative Oki Iwamatsu, and Ms. Tokiwa Mio..." Conan frowned and began to speculate on these rich and powerful guys with the greatest malice.

The power of an organization is sometimes like cockroaches. When you see one, it's hard not to wonder if there is a nest behind it.

"They only consider the fields they are engaged in. Their level may not be good enough to attract the attention of the organization, but they are relatively young and can be regarded as people with potential." Haiyuan Ai thought of the fluttering The pattern of the Phantom Thieves fluttering among the clouds slightly raised the corner of his mouth, "Looking at it this way, tonight's banquet is really the closest place to heaven for them."

"You mean, if the Phantom Thieves are really targeting them, the organization will not let them go?" Conan's eyebrows jumped, and he suddenly looked forward to the banquet in the evening.

No matter what form the organization takes to prevent these people from speaking out, this will become the front line of confrontation with the organization.

"Of course. Just like me, as long as you join the organization, anyone who tries to withdraw will be regarded as a traitor and be killed." Haiyuan Ai tilted his head and said with some pity, but inevitably said indifferently, "To them For me, this is the countdown to heaven.”

After being targeted by the Phantom Thieves and having their personalities modified by them, they naturally became a hidden danger that could reveal the organization's secrets at any time and needed to be eradicated.

Maybe, at this moment, the organization's snipers or assassins have blended into the crowd at the banquet, or are staring at them with a scope from a distance, ready to harvest their lives.

"I don't want to use the word retribution to describe them, but... this is the price of crossing the red line. I'm afraid their only way to survive is to cooperate with the Phantom Thieves and find a protective umbrella for themselves first."

Conan and Dr. Ari looked at each other and fell into silence at the same time.

At this moment, the humming sound of the engine approached quickly, and a striking and exaggerated bright red sports car turned the corner and parked next to their car.

"Hey, you've been waiting for a long time!" Suzuki Sonoko adjusted the silk scarf around her neck, arranged her hair that was slightly fluffy and messy in the blow of the convertible, and walked out of the car with a smile on her face.

"Eh, Sonoko?! Your hair is..." Mao Lilan looked at Suzuki Sonoko's burgundy hair and her slightly retro-style hairstyle in astonishment, and even felt a little strange.

The length of her hair has not actually changed, and she has not even removed the hairband that never leaves her body. However, she has done some processing on her hair that was dyed red. She used the hairband to create a playful air bang above her forehead, and the short hair at the back was blown. It is fluffy and soft, with delicate and fine wavy lines, which makes Suzuki Sonoko's appearance rise to a new level.

"So, it suits my hair color quite well, right?" Suzuki Sonoko touched her temples, very happy, "Red and blue also go well together, right?"

"Sonoko..." Mao Lilan started to look at her without saying a word, and she was a little dumbfounded. "Then you shouldn't wear such fragrant clothes, you should just wear a kimono."

Kitagawa Yusuke himself does not have a very suitable formal suit, and clothes that are too formal may not be suitable for his status and age. Wearing a more formal kimono like Kisaragi Hosui is a very appropriate and personable choice. It is predictable what Kitagawa Yusuke will wear tonight.

"Oh, that would be too deliberate. You can't be so flattering." Suzuki Sonoko shook her head and snorted softly, "Besides, even if you wear a kimono, I don't think Kitagawa-kun will show anything."

To describe Kitagawa Yusuke as dull or inexperienced would be a bit overestimating his situation. Whether he even has the concept of love in his eyes may be a mystery.

Tang Ze, who got out of the car behind her, nodded secretly.

That's not true. If a good buddy is a straight man, then a poor buddy is a living alien. It's not a question of whether he has this nerve. He may not have nerves, or he may have nerves himself.

"Thank you, Sister May. Please send me here. You've worked hard too, Karasawa. Go back and rest early!" Suzuki Sonoko, who had finished talking, caught a glimpse of the flaming car body from the corner of his eye. He came to his senses and pulled it with quick eyes and hands. He grabbed Tang Ze and pushed him in the direction of Polo Cafe.

One size fits all, it's one thing for Ms. May to style her well, her strange hobby for little boys is another.

Shimabukuro Kimie cast a dumbfounded look at Karasawa from behind her colored sunglasses, pushed up her glasses, and just waved her hand casually: "It's a trivial matter. Have a good time tonight, girls, any banquet should be... Proud of your presence.”

She stepped on the accelerator again and looked at the streets ahead that were gradually changing as she accelerated. A bright, even arrogant smile appeared on her lips.

She also has her own feast to attend to.

————

"Police department, do we really not need to go to the banquet hall to have a look..."

Takagi Wataru, who was leaning against the car, looked up at the building that was reflected red in the afterglow of the setting sun, and asked again reluctantly.

Because they could not hinder the normal entry and exit of the participants, nor could they leave any strange signals to the media, they repeatedly communicated with Mio Tokiwa, but they could only drive in through the sparsely populated side door and park the car in the rear parking space.

Standing in the vast square of the building, only the sunset fireworks and cold industrial masterpieces were left, which made Takagi Wataru feel sad and irritable.

High up in the building, the traces created by the powerful Phantom Thieves through unknown means have not yet been completely eliminated. The faint outline of the flames is even more beautiful in the sunset.

It’s also more disturbing.

"No, since Ms. Tokiwa has explicitly banned unrelated persons from entering the building, we can only wait here." Megure Shisan shook his head solemnly, but the messages on his mobile phone communicating with various departments did not stop.

No matter who it was tonight or what kind of trouble occurred, the pressure on fire protection and personnel safety caused by any disturbance in an 80-story skyscraper would be immeasurable, and he had no choice but to prepare for a rainy day.

I really don’t know what Mio Tokiwa is insisting on, and why he insists on holding this press conference.

Are some competitions in the capital market really worth risking so much? Once there is a serious change of public opinion in the venue due to the Phantom Thieves, the danger brought about cannot be solved by a few points of stock price fluctuation.

"As of now, all the preliminary preparations we can do have been completed." Shiratori Rensaburo stood on the other side of the car, looking at the landmark building that he was not optimistic about as if it was a sharp blade piercing the ground, sharp and full of aggression. The ground reached into the sky, and he couldn't help but sigh, "I can only pray that nothing happens. The venue on the 75th floor, if this happens..."

"Shut up, don't say the keywords!" The police colleagues, including Memu Shisan, shouted sharply at the same time.

This is like not being able to eat mangoes and drink Wangzi at work. Some things will come true as soon as you say them!
