The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"A specific hair color?" Mao Lilan murmured, quickly thinking of the women they rescued tonight.

She is a beautiful adult woman with dyed brown hair and a fashionable perm.

Thinking like this, she couldn't help but cast her eyes towards Suzuki Sonoko who was sitting next to her.

"You, you mean, the woman we sent to the hospital..." Suzuki Sonoko also touched her hair and shuddered.

Suddenly I felt that it would not be impossible to follow Karasawa's advice and dye my hair and style it...

"Yes, it fits the characteristics of a serial murder victim." Holding the draft beer, Matsuda Jinpei briefly introduced, "If you count this woman tonight, this is already the fourth time."

"So you showed up there tonight to track the traces of a serial killer?" Hearing this, Conan subconsciously asked, "But aren't you no longer a police officer?"

And just now, with a nonchalant expression, he rejected the two girls' explanation that Tang Ze could not be the perpetrator of the crime of injury. No matter how you look at it, he is not an image of being eager for justice and willing to help others.

How could he still actively participate in the investigation and tracking of murder cases after leaving office?

"Well, it's true that I don't want to be a police officer. But not being a police officer doesn't mean that I can't investigate cases." Matsuda Jinpei said the truth without any hesitation, "This is preparation for a new job. Is it an internship?"

"Well, I'd like to ask, is the new job you're talking about a detective?" Mao Lilan blinked and couldn't help but spit out the first word that came to his mouth, "Recently, there are so many people working as detectives. ah……"

Is this really a career that is suitable for retired police officers? How come every former police officer she knows seems to have become a detective in the end?

There are also several people who changed their jobs midway, such as Mr. Toru Amuro, the waiter downstairs.

Thinking of Kudo Shinichi's unabashed yearning and admiration for detectives since she was a child, and then comparing it to the detectives she had come into contact with...

Some bizarre pictures flashed through her mind, and her expression became stiffer.

How should I put it, this kind of indescribable feeling.

Tang Ze glanced at her doubtful expression and couldn't help laughing.

He knew what she was thinking. She was just trying to say why every optimized police officer became a detective. Is detective a profession similar to that of a delivery person or a security guard?

Hello, this is really the case in this world.

"Huh? Oh, yes, you are from Tokyo, and there are indeed quite a lot of detectives in Tokyo." Matsuda Jinpei, who is not really a detective by profession, was stunned, and quickly made up for himself, "It's not much different, anyway. It’s just some occupations that require participation in surveys. Anyway, I happened to be going to Tokyo, so I stopped by.”

"Mr. Adachi's words..." Karasawa took the initiative and glanced at Conan meaningfully, "He is currently employed by the Metropolitan Police Department as a consultant in a specialized field. He is considered, well, a police detective without public office. ”

Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and realized that he was a little rude, so he quickly asked: "Specialized direction? It sounds very powerful. Are you investigating security cases similar to this murder?"

"To be more precise..." Adachi slowly put the wine glass to his mouth and smiled with a frivolous and lazy smile, "He specializes in investigating serial murder cases."

————

"Toru Adachi, investigating a serial murder case?!"

"Hattori, please keep your voice down..." Conan couldn't help but move the phone away from his ear to stop his friend on the other side of the phone from continuing to scream, "I'm still outside."

Hattori Heiji replied in a weird tone: "You can't blame me for making a fuss. There is a high probability that this person is one of the policemen related to the Karasawa case that I investigated before."

"Kangze has already told me this." Conan nodded without surprise.

And judging from Tohru Adachi's rather subtle unfriendly attitude, Karasawa's case must have played a significant role in this matter.

To put it bluntly, this guy probably lost his job because of Hattori’s investigation.

"No, no, no, you don't know the seriousness of the problem." Even though he knew that the person on the other side of the phone couldn't see him, Hattori Heiji still shook his head vigorously, "He is not the only police officer with problems that I investigated, and he was indeed arrested by the police. Dismissed. But the reason we used was not the Tangze case."

After all, the content of this case has not been falsified so far.

"Considering that they are likely to be related to the organization, my father's idea is to dig deeper into their illegal and disciplinary behavior to remove these scum from the police force." At this point, Hattori Heiji's brows became serious, " Kudo, do you know the reason why Toru Adachi was fired?”

Infected by the solemnity in his words, Conan's relaxed expression also became solemn.

Indeed, "You can't blame Karasawa-kun" and "He was involved in some incidents." This is how Toru Adachi himself explained the whole story of losing his job as a police officer last night.

On the other end of the phone, Hattori Heiji lowered his head and looked at the thick stack of documents that he had scribbled on, which were designed by Karasawa and Toru Amuro to record Adachi's past life.

"He was dismissed by the Kyoto police station without hesitation because he was suspected of being related to the serial murders that occurred on the edge of Kyoto city. Kudo and Toru Adachi probably killed several people directly or indirectly through some means. serial killer."

As soon as he said this, Conan, who was really well-informed, looked stunned.

Good guy, this is really good guy.

Let the serial killer investigate the serial murder case, should he praise the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for its good judgment? Who wouldn't praise the professional counterpart?

"He was actually hired by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, the situation is a bit bad." Hattori Heiji's expression was still serious, "You should try to keep an eye on him more, and let me know when you return to Tokyo, and I will come as soon as possible."

The bad policeman who was expelled from the Kansai region was actually re-employed by Tokyo, and he is a guy who is likely to be inseparable from the organization.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the National Police Agency are basically next to each other. Are they really not afraid of such a guy sneaking in to steal secrets for the organization...

No, it's better to say that this may be the real reason why he was hired. We have to investigate how he got this job.

Conan, who fully felt Hattori Heiji's speechlessness and promised to pay attention in the next few days, kept a solemn expression for a long time after hanging up the phone.

The process of confronting the organization and slowly removing its minions is indeed a long and arduous journey...

"Click--"

While he was sitting in a daze under the parasol, Suzuki Sonoko, who was standing in the shallow water in front of him, raised her camera and pressed the shutter at Mao Lilan who was standing in front of her.

"Hey, hey, what are you shooting..." Mao Lilan, who adjusted the bikini straps, turned her head alertly and glared at Suzuki Sonoko.

"Shoot sexy and beautiful moments." Suzuki Sonoko, who was wearing a leopard print suspender swimsuit, snorted twice.

"Why are you shooting that..." Mao Lilan looked down at the thin swimming trunks straps on her hips and couldn't help blushing.

It's normal to wear this kind of swimsuit at the beach, but being filmed is another matter.

"Is there any need to ask? Of course, I'll wait for Shinichi to come back and show it to that guy." Suzuki Sonoko raised the camera and answered as a matter of course.

"Ah?"

"Ah?!"

Two surprised voices rang out at the same time, and Ran Maoli and Conan, who spoke, looked at each other and quickly looked away.

Conan coughed twice, and grabbed the swimming ring beside the lounge chair to cover up his face with a strange expression.

Well, he admitted that Xiaolan's suspender bra and small swimming trunks were indeed quite sexy...

"He doesn't need to see it..." Ran Maoli whispered, and it was difficult to say what she thought next.

He had already seen it. To be more precise, this time he didn't wear a one-piece swimsuit with a high degree of coverage like the last time he came to Izu, because...

"Why not? With this photo in hand, I think he will agree to anything." Suzuki Sonoko, who was teasing her bestie, arrogantly put her hands on her hips, "This is very precious information!"

"How is it possible? Right, Conan, what do you think?" Ran Maoli turned her eyes and looked at Conan who grabbed the swimming ring and got into the water subtly.

"How can a child understand this?" Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand.

"Sonoko, I don't think you want to threaten Shinichi at all, but you want to threaten me." After receiving Conan's embarrassed expression that he dared not look back, Mao Lilan turned her head, "You haven't recovered yet?"

I came to Izu with the mood of traveling, but in the end I didn't meet many handsome guys, but first met a serial killer who might target me. This kind of thing is really hard to keep a person's mentality from being distorted.

"Ha, don't mention it." Suzuki Sonoko's shoulders collapsed suddenly, "How can I contact strange handsome guys without psychological barriers? I even suspect that the uncle yesterday was trying to scare me on purpose."

"He, uh, maybe he also wanted to kindly remind you." Mao Lilan reluctantly made up a few words, and her eyes turned left and right as if asking for help, and soon her eyes lit up.

"Karaze, you're back..." She waved at the boy who was approaching, and after seeing his current appearance, the next question was stuck for a moment.

Among a group of people wearing swimming trunks and swimsuits, with white skin everywhere, Tang Ze, who was wearing beach pants on the lower body, a hooded sweatshirt on the upper body, and even a pair of sunglasses, covered himself tightly, and looked really eye-catching.

Not to mention, there was a Siamese cat hanging on his shoulder, which looked more like a rotten cat than a rest.

"Where did this cat come from?" Turning her head and seeing Tang Ze's image, Suzuki Sonoko, who was also unable to hold back, even forgot about the problem of failed romantic encounters for the time being, "Why are you wearing so tightly when you come to the beach..."

Didn't he say in the morning that he would go to the hospital to visit the attacked lady and ask her if she still remembered the murderer? Where did this cat come from?

"I feel a little too sunny, I want to shade myself. I'm not really suited to the beach. Isn't this cute?" Tang Ze handed over the three cups of juice in his hand, looking innocent, "When I came here just now, a lady asked me to give her this cat. She said she had to leave for something, and seeing that the cat was very close to me, she asked me to bask in the sun for her."

To prove his statement, Tang Ze raised his hand and scratched the cat's chin.

The relaxed Nekko soon purred softly and rubbed Tang Ze's hand very intimately.

"Sun, bask in the sun..." Conan looked at the Siamese cat that looked very familiar for some reason, but the color was indeed not right when he looked closely, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

A lady, a Siamese cat, Tang Ze still saw it...

It can't be what he thought...

"Well, she said that the Siamese's fur turned black too quickly due to the weather, so she brought it to the beach to bask in the sun." Tang Ze said the truth.

There is no way. The world of science, where the weather changes too quickly as the case progresses, is definitely a test for cats with key colors.

When Nekko was rescued from Moriya Tei, it was a relatively new Siamese cat with only the tip and bridge of its nose dark. After a few months, its entire front face has become like a coal miner.

It happened that there was a more convenient means of transportation this time to Izu, so he also loaded the two Siamese cats and brought them here, preparing to refurbish them a little.

Today he had a reason to come to the beach to sunbathe openly, so he brought the cats along the way.

Another cat that was taken from the black-hearted female lawyer's house was brought by several other teammates and was sunbathing on the other side of the beach.

- By the way, in order to make the cat adapt, although its previous owner's name was very uncreative, Tang Ze did not change its name, and it is still called Mi-chan.

The three people who were shocked by their friends' magical development were silent for a moment, opened the juice in their hands and took a sip to calm down, and then remembered the questions they wanted to ask before.

"Has the lady woken up? I remember the doctor who was in charge of the rescue yesterday said that her condition was very critical." Mao Lilan asked with concern.

Moreover, as the only victim who is most likely to have seen the true face of the murderer, her safety is also an issue that needs attention.

"Not yet, she is still in the ICU." Tang Ze shrugged, "It is said that the liver damage is quite serious and she is still under observation. However, Inspector Yokomizo has arranged people to take care of her in the hospital, and she will be fine."

Such a fierce and unsystematic stabbing was aimed at her life, and it is difficult to avoid organ damage.

"Well, I hope she can recover as soon as possible." Suzuki Sonoko wished sincerely.

Then provide an accurate confession and catch the arrogant serial killer.

She didn't want to be inexplicably targeted by a pervert just because of her natural hair color...

Tang Ze smiled and nodded, and replied soothingly: "Yes, I will."

He didn't go to the hospital just to show concern. After communicating with the subordinates of Inspector Yokomizo, he disguised himself as an ICU doctor and secretly gave the victim some of Huihara Ai's special medicine.

According to Tang Ze's guess, for the perverted shadow of the murderer who has caused a certain cognitive world mutation, this medicine should be able to help the victim quickly recover from the trauma he caused.

However, having said that, it is difficult for the victim to wake up in a short time. It is unrealistic to expect the victim to identify the murderer before everything happens, so Tang Ze quickly turned back and returned to the beach to find his two classmates.

By the way, wait and see.

Tugging the hood covering his face, Tang Ze caught a man approaching them slowly from the corner of his eye, and a smile appeared on his lips.

This is also the reason why he wants to hide his appearance completely.

When they couldn't see his face, the strange men were still more daring to talk to Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko.

"Excuse me, ladies, are you free?"

Hearing the soft, low, and pleasant male voice, Suzuki Sonoko, who was holding a juice straw, quickly turned her head and looked in the direction of the speaker.

The man with a slicked-back hair and an open floral shirt walked towards them with a smile.

His brown hair was meticulously groomed, with a few playful strands of hair on his forehead, and clear muscle lines could be seen between his open lapels.

Coupled with that handsome face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was definitely a handsome guy full of hormones just by looking at the external conditions.

"If you are free, do you want to have lunch together at noon?" Dokyo Masahiko, who stopped a few steps away, looked at the few people carefully, and saw Suzuki Sonoko holding a camera, and smiled, "Of course, I'll treat you."

He was quite restrained, and did not mean to cross the social distance at all. His polite appearance was very appealing.

Suzuki Sonoko's expression suddenly became cheerful. Just as she was about to answer, she saw her best friend standing beside her with her long hair flying in the sea breeze, and her smile was retracted again.

He was talking about the two ladies, so it's better not to be self-indulgent.

"I understand, I understand, your target is also her." Suzuki Sonoko grabbed her best friend's arm and patted her twice, "Go ahead, go ahead, everyone loves beauty. But she is already taken, so don't have any crooked thoughts."

As for myself, it's better not to go over and watch the strange handsome guy show his courtesy to my best friend in various ways.

It's sad to watch since I'm a light bulb.

"No, how could that be." Mikyou Masahiko glanced at Mao Lilan's face and hair, and soon laughed, and cast his focused eyes on Suzuki Sonoko again, "The one I want to invite is actually only you."

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, Suzuki Sonoko was stunned, and seeing Mikyou Masahiko's straightforward and enthusiastic eyes, she was a little at a loss.

"Meow~" Nekko, who was lying on Tang Ze's shoulder, called coquettishly.
