The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

Belmod waited for a few seconds and saw that Kumail remained silent, but only withdrew his gaze, as if he understood something, and twitched the corner of his mouth lightly.

"Kumail. Now that the matter is over, it's impossible for me to do anything to Shirley anymore. You don't have to be so defensive. You must have detection devices here. I don't carry any bugs or cameras with me." I thought to myself Belmode, who had caught Kumail's flaw, moved his face closer and closer, trying to increase his sense of oppression, "You don't have to keep hiding it from me."

Regarding what happened to Miyano Shiho and Edogawa Conan, very few people really knew about the changes caused by APTX, so even members of the organization could not understand the news that Shirley had become a child.

Well, in fact, Shirley, whose pseudonym was Haibara Ai, had to briefly cooperate with Kumail because of Karasawa Akira's existence. This news should not have been known to anyone.

"No wonder you can tell me the news about the temporary antidote so confidently, as if you were also involved in the research and development and heard Shirley explain the efficacy of the drug to you personally. I said, if Shirley can learn to ask people for help, it will be really great. If she is willing to tell the cool guy all the secrets she knows, that’s not her." Recalling the previous events, Belmode couldn’t help laughing.

No wonder, Shirley was so calm and calm in the face of his arrival, as if she had expected it... It's really interesting, these children.

Tang Ze who did participate in the research and development and personally delivered the genuine A drug to Haibara Ai, also monopolized the temporary antidote supply channel, and even delivered the drug to Conan himself: "..."

How do you want me to answer this...

Karasawa struggled to understand Belmod's current thinking, and followed her thoughts for a moment, trying to find a suitable answer that would not put her in trouble or himself.

"You don't seem to mind my position." Karasawa put down the tea cup in his hand and said slowly, "I'm really sorry. Shirley means a lot to me. Unless you can find a better one for me." choice, or you can really get past the little detective's obstruction and kill her without anyone noticing... Otherwise, I won't provide you with any more help regarding her problem."

Bermod seems to have determined that in this script, Kumail relied entirely on Miyano Shiho's medical skills to achieve the miracle of the flesh and bones of the living dead. So what can he do?

This can also predict the situation and allow yourself to be absent from the train chapter and so on, which is not bad.

After receiving a clear answer, Belmod laughed, as if he didn't mind Kumel's change of stance at all, retracted his forward movement, and took a sip of tea.

They were prisoners trapped in the same situation, and Belmode would certainly not be frustrated or angry about the other party's concealment.

——It’s like she can’t be completely honest with Kumail.

After hearing Kumail clearly state his position, she felt that the fragile cooperative relationship between the two of them had the possibility to be further consolidated.

Understand each other's weaknesses and strangle each other's lifeblood. Based on this understanding, they can become like-minded accomplices.

"Don't worry, I have promised the cool guy to let that woman go, and I will not deceive him. Since she is useful to you, then you can find a way to cover up her problems." Belmode, who accepted the offer, did not go further. Showing aggression, he gave some friendly hints with his backhand, "She and what she may take away are of great value to the organization. Whether you can firmly control her is your own trouble. However, We are not the only ones targeting her. There are many things you need to be careful about.”

Others in the organization, such as Gin, most likely still misunderstand that Shirley's disappearance is entirely related to the Phantom Thieves. She acted with this mysterious group, and her whereabouts were covered up by these highly skilled guys, so she could not be found. However, Belmod, who had figured out Shirley's movements, would definitely not think so.

No one helped Shirley to defect, only Shirley herself.

Let’s carefully sort out Shirley’s experience during this time.

She took APTX4869 and survived by chance. Because she became a child, she successfully evaded the organization's investigation and sought help from the only survivor she knew, Kudo Shinichi.

After meeting Conan Edogawa, she changed her name to Ai Haibara and started attending Teitan Elementary School. At this time, she came into contact with Kumel, who had taken over the identity of Karasawa Akira and was living downstairs at the Mori Office.

According to Bermod's speculation about Shirley's character, Shirley, who had already determined that Karasawa Akira had been killed, must have wanted to warn Conan to stay away from Kumail. After discovering that Kumail actually knew the true identity of Edogawa Conan , this urgency will turn into fear, and maybe he will find Kumail privately and try to make a deal with him with his own life.

However, Kumail told her at this time that Tang Zezhao was not dead, but his life was in danger, and those serious injuries could take away his life at any time...

That was Shirley's last relative alive in the world. From the standpoint at that time, she had no choice.

It is a very smooth logic that can not only reasonably explain the changes that have occurred in Shirley during this period, but also explain the peaceful coexistence between her and Kumail.

A subtle but stable balance always exists between them in tacit understanding, allowing the ordinary daily life to continue in harmony.

But it's not without its pitfalls...

"You mean the Phantom Thieves?" Karasawa raised his eyebrows, directly pointing out what the Riddler was hinting at.

"Yes, the Phantom Thieves." Belmode smiled. She liked to talk to smart people. "Shirley was very hesitant when she was in the organization. She left the organization, but here comes an oppressor like you. Of course she You can't let your guard down at all, Mr. Accomplice."

Having said this, Belmode chuckled again.

"Did you remember something funny again?" Tang Ze asked directly in a very angry tone, not bothering to figure out what the Riddler had misunderstood.

"Yeah, I remembered something funny again." Belmode tapped his temple and winked playfully, "No wonder Kyosuke Futo was sent into the hands of the police mercilessly by you. You tell me Bourbon and Gin, it’s because the way he talks makes you unhappy, and now that I think about it...you’ve really got yourself in big trouble.”

Kyosuke Futo's target is Karasawa Akira, and the knowledge and wealth behind him about cognitive mysteries.

This alone, without any other reason, can arouse Kumel's murderous intention.

In the end, this psychiatrist who plays with people's hearts will become so crazy that he can't even control his own consciousness, and will tragically end up in jail as a criminal. This is the ending that was doomed from the beginning.

However, she was quite interested in imagining how those lunatics who had their eyes on the Karasawa family and would not let him go would continue to bring new troubles to Kumail.

In the future, how will Kumail rack his brains to solve all the conspiracies and calculations that come his way?

The sequel to this drama is getting more and more interesting.

Tangze, who was once again controlled by her script writing skills: "..."

He said that it was more fun to act for the Riddler.

There was no need for additional finishing. Belmod, the top Riddler, spoke more and more smoothly, completely convincing himself, leaving Karasawa feeling that there was basically no place to interrupt.

"It doesn't matter how you interpret it." Tang Ze shrugged.

I give you the pen, you can write it yourself.

"I just want to warn you again." Pouring new tea into the cup, Tang Ze's tone became calmer, "Don't provoke me too much. You know my abilities very well."

Belmod smiled unexpectedly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip to show that he understood.

Based on experiments in cognitive psychology, a killer with superpowers was born unexpectedly...

The organization's understanding of Kumel still remains at the superficial level of a useful tool with criminal talent, but it has seen the fate of Kyosuke Futo and how cognitive knowledge works, so Kumel can learn Belmode, who had unimaginable intelligence, knew very well that this guy was by no means an outstanding killer.

"Don't worry, I will keep the secret well." Belmode held up the tea cup and sighed slowly, "As time goes by, as you get to know those people better and better, as cognitive learning further affects the organization's decision-making... You must have something planned, right?"

This is to confirm that the other party is also a young man.

Tang Ze understood it, so he just raised his eyelids and gave Belmode a sharp look back.

"That's good." Belmode curled his eyes and drank the last bit of black tea in the cup with enjoyment, "They will regret it sooner or later if they let you escape from the darkness so easily."

If her guess is true, Kumel actually has similar power to those of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. He can approach a person's mind by fully investigating the other person's heart, destroy or even kill a person's soul. Then the organization Everyone here should be worried about what will happen next.

that's enough.

She neither has the power to destroy the organization nor the freedom to control her life. She is a ghost who can only live in the shadow of the organization. She can neither touch the sun nor draw on the power of the sun.

But Kumail is different. Kumail is different. He is struggling and has come so far.

He even completed the resistance that he should do from the very beginning - he saved Tang Zezhao and retained the last trace of fire left by Tang Zezhao and his wife.

He can definitely do it.

"I should have regretted it a long time ago. Silver bullets are the nemesis of all monsters, aren't they?" Tangze shrugged and replied meaningfully.

Yes, Kumail is an important formula for the silver bullet, and the things that this bullet breaks in the end may be beyond their imagination.

————

"I think we can further discuss our future cooperation, Mr. Accomplice."

"Do you have to use threats to sit down and have a serious talk? You are really mean."

"On this point, let's just be mutually supportive. I also don't like the feeling of being pinched by someone's neck and having my identity revealed..."

On the screen in the monitoring room, a huge picture showed the conversation between Karasawa and Belmode.

Almost everyone in the Phantom Thieves remained in a stunned state, unable to recover from their gradually harmonious conversation.

"It seems that it really worked." Miyano Akemi covered her mouth with surprise on her face, "Kang Ze said that she especially likes bloody stories. I didn't believe it before..."

"Although he explained the general logic to me, when I saw the live broadcast, I still couldn't help but feel that it was outrageous." Asai Naomi said the same emotion while holding the same tea in Karasawa's hand.

"No, compared to this, don't you think it's more terrifying to be able to easily discover her logic, keep up with it, or even use similar logic to write a story for yourself, from a certain perspective..." Shimabukuro Kimie frowned, "To be honest, even the aunts on relatively isolated islands don't like to read stories of this type now."

"It's hard to say," Asai Narimi said rigorously, "After all, Vermouth's real age is actually an unknown. Maybe she is older than the aunts you know?"

It makes sense... Shimabukuro Kimie nodded suddenly.

"Good guy..." Zhu Fujingguang slapped his forehead and murmured in a low voice, "Vermouth was actually convinced by such logic."

The Thousand-Faced Witch Vermouth is a member of a transcendent status and extremely high level in the organization.

Although he has never come into contact with her in person, she is still undercover. This is one of the people on Zhu Fujingguang's list of people who need to be highly alert. So when he first heard about the calculation route prepared by Tang Ze for Vermouth, his first reaction was that it was impossible.

Would a code member who kills people without hesitation and is ruthless easily let down his guard and secretly reach a deal with others to cause trouble for the organization because of some bloody script that is not dark, bright or redeemed?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

But it happened to be the opposite, this trick really worked!

Is there something wrong with him, or is there something wrong with this world? Zhu Fu Jingguang held his forehead and felt a trace of incomparable absurdity.

So in fact, in view of Belmode's situation, Zero should have relied on his baby face to claim to be a high school student, and then found a clichéd love novel or family ethics drama to easily gain the other party's trust...?

Zhu Fu Jingguang, who felt a chill for his own imagination, quickly shook his head and threw the strange picture out of his mind.

Turning his head, he noticed that Xingchuan Hui, who came in again, was bending his back and bowing his head in silence, and couldn't help but lean over and ask with concern: "Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

Was it because the confrontation with Belmode just now made him nervous, so he was trying to adjust his emotions?

Not really, isn't it said that Hoshikawa Teru has been running around for Tang Ze several times and is used to all kinds of outrageous performance projects...

His face was buried deep between his hands. Now not only his face but also his name had been ruthlessly requisitioned by Tang Ze. Hoshikawa Teru let out a breath and said weakly: "Don't ask, let me die..."
