The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Are you going to license the sports car? Dad, didn't you say that you think the sports car is not practical and you are going to sell it and get a bigger car?"

After a thrilling night, Mao Lilan, who slept until midnight, heard the shocking news as soon as she got up.

Although private detectives are different from ordinary office workers, they are actually a kind of social beast. In the final analysis, they are a profession that sells their working time in exchange for money. What kind of car they drive still has an impact on social beasts.

There may not be much difference between driving a low-profile car and driving a spacious SUV, but for Kogoro Mouri, who is at this age and has a daughter who is about to grow up, the red convertible is still too unstable and too eye-catching. .

"Ah, this..." Mouri Kogoro chewed the egg pancake in his mouth and looked away vaguely, "That, this, Eri seems to like it quite a bit."

Conan, who was slurping milk in a calm mood, turned his head in surprise and looked at Mouri Kogoro's expression.

Fei Yingri is a capable and flamboyant professional woman who is full of aggression in the workplace. For her, the red sports car is indeed suitable. The main reason is that Mouri Kogoro means to use this car. He left the car behind and planned to leave it to Fei Yingli to drive.

In this way, in order not to show off, he still cannot escape the fate of renting a car in many cases.

"Has the relationship between Uncle Maoli and Aunt Fei progressed so quickly recently?" Conan was deeply puzzled as he tried to recall the recent interactions between the awkward couple.

Fei Eri and Mouri Kogoro have indeed been relaxing since the last procrastinating exchange of gifts.

Recently, Xiaolan didn't even bother to ask what Mouri Kogoro was going to do in his sexy clothes. Most likely, it was to meet Fei Yingri.

——The busy concubine, the lawyer, can only have time to renew her relationship after nightfall.

But fast forward to considering the allocation of family vehicles and the appearance of living together again, it's a different story.

"It's not that fast..." Mouri Kogoro cleared his throat uncomfortably, staring at the two children's eyes full of inquiry, and said indifferently, "Well, I can buy whatever car I want."

His home is in Tokyo, and he has a single-family building with a front door in a business district. In fact, Kogoro Mori's living conditions are definitely not bad.

Not to mention that his wife has never left the workplace, and he does not have the pressure of raising a family by himself. The stable rent and work income brought by real estate are completely enough to cover the expenses of raising Mao Lilan, and he does not live in poverty on weekdays. , this can be seen from the fact that he can accept the temporary raising of one more child without any pain.

The reason why he has not saved much money at this age, and his pockets are empty no matter how much he earns or spends, is inseparable from his bad living habits.

If you make less, you will make do, and if you make more, you will squander it all when you are happy. If you continue to live like this, you will not be able to accumulate wealth no matter how old you are. Therefore, after improving his living habits, Mouri Kogoro was surprised to find that he could actually make money.

This was discovered after he communicated with Mao Lilan last night when he was considering changing cars and learned the exact amount of the deposit.

The commission fees for the past few months, plus the rent paid by the cafe downstairs, the subsidy Suzuki Sonko made on a whim, the subsidies paid to him according to the case, and the high commissions paid by the Nine-Jiu Family and the Tsujimura Family...

He counted on his fingers and discovered to his surprise that even if he didn't have this car, he could actually buy a suitable car for home use.

From the time he was tortured by Karasawa, until today, looking at the balance and assets calculated on the paper, he finally felt that indescribable sense of security that he had changed his lifestyle and seemed to be able to move towards a better life. Realism.

"It's unrealistic to expect a windfall from heaven. People should not rely too much on luck." Mouri Kogoro expressed a very uncharacteristic emotion. This time, even Maori Lan couldn't help but stare at him blankly.

She looked down at the sandwich on the plate, compared it with the one on Kogoro Mouri's plate to confirm that he had taken the wrong medicine, and began to think in confusion.

"Could it be that the Phantom Thieves actually changed their minds for dad last night, but we didn't find out?"

"Oh, that makes sense. In fact, Aunt Tokiwa didn't show any obvious symptoms, nor did Master Kisaragi."

"So that's what happened..."

Mouri Kogoro, whose eyebrows were full of emotions about life, froze.

"You two, stop talking nonsense here! I'm very good, I'm not to the point of being changed, okay?"

"Okay, okay..."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

"You, you two little bastards, eat mine and use mine..."

"Okay, okay, finish your meal quickly. We have to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to visit Aunt Tokiwa before going to the police station. She was very frightened, and now she wants you to be present by name before she is willing to confess her situation. "

"I really can't tell, dad, you are such a safe type..."

"You two...!"

————

While the Mori family was having a warm family conversation, on the other side, Shuichi Akai climbed over the wall with ease, followed the garage of 2-chome 22nd floor, and quietly entered the house.

As Belmode left after being exposed, the organization's arrangements around the 2-chome were quickly evacuated. In fact, he didn't need to be so cautious.

The three villas side by side on this street are all entered and exited by their own people. Bourbon, because of his agreement with Karasawa, will not reach out to this neighborhood at will. Even if he comes to knock on the door in an upright manner, it will not matter, but Thinking of everything he saw last night, Akai Shuichi chose a more cautious approach.

The power of the organization is like a gangrene attached to the bones, tightly wrapped around the blood of the mother's family. Their outstanding talents have brought disaster to themselves. This is the case for the Miyano family and the Karasawa family. Faced with the possibility of cognitive chaos His unique power did not allow him to be careless.

The Phantom Thieves of the Heart, a group that is inseparable from the Karasawa family, is showing more and more power beyond imagination.

Akai Shuichi vaguely felt that no matter who those people were, Karasawa and the Miyano sisters were very likely to be inseparable from them. However, before, he always had his own tasks to deal with, so he did not distract himself too much. He went to investigate the situation of these younger brothers and sisters, but chose to trust Tangze, a child who would always surprise people, and believe that he had his own sense of proportion.

In addition, there were many voices within the FBI where he was born. Reason told Shuichi Akai that the best way to protect them was to not know anything.

Some secrets, just knowing them, may lead to disaster. If the power they control has reached a level that can make any force covet, if they investigate too clearly, it will create more trouble for Tang Ze and bring trouble to the eradication organization. to greater resistance.

Cognitive knowledge is now a sharp weapon in the hands of organizations. If you rush to grasp the sharp edge, you will only cause greater harm to yourself.

But after seeing Zhufu Jingguang, Akai Shuichi couldn't sit still at all.

The problem now is no longer that being a master of pretending to be confused can make things difficult. He must find out the situation of the Phantom Thieves of the Heart, and even more clearly the relationship between Karasawa and others and this group.

What the organization wanted to obtain by studying this subject was completely exposed to Akai Shuichi with the appearance of Zhu Fu Jingguang.

They were members of the organization he had worked with before, and they were victims who he had personally confirmed had lost vital signs. They were undercover agents whose positions were different, but whose situation was very similar.

What does the resurrection of Zhu Fu Jingguang mean? Is the organization already dabbling in taboo areas three years ago? Or is it an extension of the strange phenomena that happened to Belmod and Conan Haibara Ai? What is more? What's more...

Thinking of joker, gin, and Morofuku Kagemitsu's iconic silver hair last night, Akai Shuichi's heart couldn't stop sinking.

In this way, maintaining a preoccupied state, Akai Shuichi crossed the back garden, passed through the atrium, took the stairs on the second floor, and arrived at the reception room and restaurant on the first floor.

In addition to Hoshikawa Teru and Miyano Akemi, who were fished out of the organization one by one by Karasawa, this building also houses other newcomers. It looks like some kind of stray animal shelter - I heard that Karasawa even really started to pick up cats here - anyway, considering that the number of residents was still increasing, and Karasawa could go directly to Shibuya to find his stronghold, Akai Shuichi was also polite and did not enter privately again, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstanding.

However, no matter how many people live there, according to their habits, the area for active communication and interaction is still in the living room, so you can't go wrong looking for people here.

So after pushing open the door of the restaurant, Akai Shuichi unexpectedly found Miyano Akemi and Hoshikawa Teru who were slowly eating breakfast, and Karasawa who was pouring coffee into his mouth.

"Brother Xiuyi, you're here so early." Tang Ze raised his hand towards him without any surprise.

Regarding his coming, Akai Shuichi had told him in advance. When faced with his own people who had a clear stance, this undercover investigator would never play the FBI's "open the door" trick.

As for not taking the main entrance... just think of it as an assassin's instinct, just like the ACT players rolling around on the road. At first glance, it looks like magic, but if you watch it too much, you will start rolling around. .

"Karasawa, Akemi, and Hoshikawa-kun." Although Shuichi Akai looked calm, but was actually very anxious on the inside, he nodded to them lightly, walked over to the dining table in two long steps, and started asking straight to the point, "There are some things. Need to confirm with you.”

"Huh? Are you looking for Karasawa?" It wasn't until Shuichi Akai rushed to the table that Hoshikawa Teru slowly raised his head.

He blinked slowly. It was obvious that the blood supply to the brain had not yet been supplied. It took him a few seconds before he said "Oh": "Should I avoid it?"

Ever since he learned about Karasawa's complicated family line, especially after listening to his popular science about Akai Shuichi's brothers and sisters with completely different surnames but the same father and mother, he felt that every time he saw this handsome and fierce FBI The other party seemed to have been killed on the set of a family ethics drama, and he felt that he should not get involved in the upcoming topic.

"No, I also have some relationship with you, Hoshikawa-kun." Shuichi Akai's expression was very serious, "I want to confirm what your relationship is with the Phantom Thieves of the Heart."

"...Huh?" Miyano Akemi, who was still trying to keep accounts and think about how to properly put funds into which bank accounts after a good night's harvest, raised her head blankly.

"...Huh?" Hoshikawa Teru, who had finally reached the brain, realized Akai Shuichi's intention.

The two people blinked, and then looked at Tang Ze with the same expression on their faces.

"Ah? Doesn't he know?"

Tang Ze, who poured coffee back into SP, paused and put down the coffee in his hand with a serious face.

...It seems that I really don’t know.

Although when he was a joker, he even arrogantly provoked the organization with Akai Shuichi's face, even though he didn't do much acting, and his digging skills were blatant, although...

However, it seems that you haven’t really talked to Shuichi Akai about this issue, huh?

After all, Akai Shuichi's main combat power lies in his own person. While the FBI still has its own tasks for the time being, Karasawa focuses on being knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and will not take the initiative to cause trouble for others outside of work.

Working overtime is already very hard, but if you have to work two jobs, wouldn’t that make you feel uncomfortable?

Miyano Akemi's face was filled with bewilderment and she frowned in confusion.

You really haven't told Brother Xiuyi yet. I thought you had already figured it out.

Karasawa shrugged innocently.

Then he didn't ask...

Hoshikawa Teru looked around at the expressions of the two siblings, and chose to cast an unbelievable gaze on Akai Shuichi.

Then you can really keep your composure...

Akai Shuichi watched the three people talk encrypted in silence for a moment, feeling that they might still have concerns. After thinking about it, he decided to speak more clearly.

"I now need to confirm the position of the Phantom Thieves. The situation is extraordinary. If the phenomenon I saw involves the organization, then Karasawa, and even Bourbon who has been working with you, should find a way to escape as soon as possible." Akai Xiuyi frowned and said seriously, "You joined the organization too late and may not be aware of the situation. I want to tell you one thing. If you didn't understand it before, you'd better be mentally prepared."

After coming back to his senses, Karasawa held the coffee cup in both hands and cleared his throat.

The format of this sentence gives me an inexplicable sense of déjà vu...

In fact, he already roughly understood what Akai Shuichi was worried about. However, facing such a solemn Akai Shuichi, Tang Ze could only say very seriously: "Tell me, I am also a professional undercover now, and my psychological quality must be qualified."

I definitely won’t laugh unless I can’t help it.jpg

Not seeing the weird look on Karasawa's face that was well concealed, Akai Shuichi took a deep breath and decided to start from the beginning: "Three years ago, when I was still in the organization..."

"Click".

Behind them, the sound of the lock being turned came from another door connecting the restaurant to the corridor.

Akai Shuichi stopped talking alertly and looked up at the person coming.

"I'm so sleepy. My head hurts a little now. Tang Ze, the coffee you just mentioned..."

Zhu Fu Jingguang, who didn't have time to comb his hair and was wearing home clothes for sleeping, with a face towel hanging around his neck, stumbled in while rubbing his temples with a sleepy look on his face.

The awakening of the mask user is a very energy-consuming thing. It seems that all their energy is exhausted when awakening. Once they are out of danger and return to the real world after their transformation, they will immediately become extremely exhausted due to excessive energy consumption. .

When he woke up yesterday, he faced the decisive battle with the master of the palace. As soon as he came out, he immediately started to snipe against the middle gate of Gin, and then did dangerous projects such as jumping from a building at a height of 100 meters, ziplining to 300 meters, racing in a fire field, etc., and getting adrenaline. Kukushao, when everything was over, he almost fell to the ground and couldn't get up. He was almost dragged into his room by several teammates.

Even after a dull night's sleep, the feeling of powerlessness from over-exertion has not completely subsided, so Zhufu Jingguang hastily freshened up, and vaguely remembered that Tang Ze said that if he still feels uncomfortable in the morning, he can come to him, and he can provide some recovery. The special energy drink moved slowly into the restaurant like a wandering spirit, without even having time to notice the guests coming into the stronghold.

So when he finished speaking and realized that the restaurant seemed to be too quiet, he turned his head and saw Akai Shuichi again with a shocked expression.

Akai Shuichi's brain briefly stopped thinking for a moment.

He looked at Zhu Fu Jingguang's face, and then at the three people at the dining table, each holding a cup and covering their mouths. He looked back and forth twice, and his eyes widened even more.

That is to say, that is to say...!

Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Zhufu Jingguang combed his hair with his fingers and said hello uncertainly: "Lei, oh no, I should call you Akai, right... uh, morning?"

"Pfft..." Tang Ze, the professional undercover agent who couldn't hold back, laughed and blew the coffee in the cup out 1SP.
