The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

When the bell rang, Karasawa was standing in the hotel lobby a little distance away from the Wawu Hotel.

The other party used an excuse to inquire about the situation where they prevented a murder last night, and then left their sight briefly by saying that they would go back to the hotel to change clothes and pick them up after dinner.

Karasawa knew that it didn't matter whether he lived near the Takuya Hotel before, but he would definitely stay near them in the future, so he took the time to find the door.

If Dao Xie Masahiko wanted to find a few of them, he would have to sift through the vast crowd of tourists for a long time to find their characteristics. However, it was much easier for him to find Dao Xie Masahiko. He followed the fog and quickly found Dao Xie Masahiko's location.

Now he wouldn't attack Dao Xie Masahiko directly, but before arresting him and sending him to the police station, Karasawa wouldn't mind letting him feel the pain and panic of committing a serious crime.

He is probably an anti-social personality who lacks empathy and will not feel guilty for killing someone. Then it is better to use another method to let the other person fully feel the pain of the victim in this short period of time.

If you don’t feel guilty, will you be afraid?

Taking out his cell phone and glancing at the unknown caller, Tang Ze quickly realized who was calling.

Kyogoku really contacted him faster than he expected...

"Let me pay more attention to Suzuki Sonoko's safety. What do you mean she may need help at any time?" At the other end of the hotel, Kyogoku was hiding in the lounge behind the front desk, paying attention to the two girls playing in the front hall. While asking in a low voice, "Why did you write me this note?"

It was as if he knew his identity and trusted his power...

However, I do have the confidence and ability.

Due to the related matters he heard after coming into contact with Karasawa yesterday, coupled with Suzuki Sonoko's closeness to him, Kyogoku's first impression of him was actually not good.

Although carefully observing the discussion between Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan, this boy may not be a bad person, but after all, he is a person with a criminal record, and it is difficult not to preconceptions that there may be something wrong.

So when he first saw the note, he subconsciously thought that this person had discovered his secret and was trying to blackmail or threaten something.

And these emotions, after listening to the discussion and speculation of the two female high school students, after a brief period of disbelief, quickly turned into an unavoidable sigh and apology.

That's why he made this call so quickly, trying to determine the true meaning of the note from himself.

"Actually, I discovered that you have been following us yesterday." Tang Ze raised his eyebrows and said frankly, "You should have been following us quietly after we entered the hotel and checked in, right? That kind of thing yesterday The situation, if you hadn’t been following me, you wouldn’t have discovered what happened between me and Mr. Adachi.”

"Uh..." Kyogoku, who had good intentions but was a bit perverted, panicked, "I, it's not because of anything strange..."

"I understand, I understand. You probably just have a good impression of Yuanzi. When you saw her yelling about wanting to have an affair, you wanted to protect her." Tang Ze teased, "I know you don't have any ill intentions, otherwise I won’t write you such a note. What I want to say is that Tao Xie Masahiko makes me feel very uncomfortable. You may not know that we encountered some bad things last night. I want to ask you something..."

————

"Ah, it's raining."

Standing under the eaves of the tile-roofed hotel, Suzuki Sonoko stretched out her palm to feel the rain outside, and quickly retracted her hand.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier. This kind of sudden rain is not strange at the seaside, but it still has a great impact on their travel.

"Mr. Dao Xie, if you don't hurry up, you won't miss the meal..."

"Don't worry, heroes who make a grand appearance are always a little late." Mao Lilan smiled reassuringly, "You think so, Conan?"

Conan, who was still thinking about the details of the serial murders he had discovered in the afternoon, was suddenly stopped. He was stunned for a moment before he realized the reason why Mao Lilan called him, and he answered bravely: "Ah? Hmm!"

Is it possible? He, does he like to show off as a hero? It’s okay...

"I'm a little embarrassed when you say that." Suzuki Sonoko shyly brushed the broken hair around her ears, then looked at the dark sky outside, but couldn't help but worry, "The same goes for Karasawa, I don't know if I can catch up. …”

"Do you need an umbrella?"

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the sliding door of the hotel behind her suddenly opened.

Kyogoku, who was holding two umbrellas in his hands, asked with a serious expression on his face.

"Uh, thank you." Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly took the umbrella from the other person's hand and muttered in a low voice, "I didn't expect that a hotel with this price would have such attentive service..."

Kyogoku, who handed the umbrella out, pushed up his glasses and didn't say anything, but he didn't close the door either. He just stood blankly behind them, like a conscientious bodyguard.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, who had not expected this, couldn't help but look at each other.

How should I put it, it's a bit strange, but it's also a bit strange to specifically ask people what they are doing standing at the door.

The atmosphere was silent and awkward for a while.

"Well, well, I'll go back and get something..." Suzuki Sonoko, who couldn't stand it any longer, whispered to Mao Lilan, turned around, and ran as if running away into the hotel.

Oops, what's wrong with this guy? It feels like his presence has become inexplicably strong since the afternoon.

He stood there blankly when they were playing downstairs. When they went back to their room to pack up and change clothes, he appeared in the corridor as soon as they opened the door.

He didn't speak actively. If she asked him questions, he would only give brief answers. He was like a ghost, which made her a little creepy...

However, just after running out two steps, Suzuki Sonoko unexpectedly found that this guy followed her without hesitation and was also preparing to go upstairs!

Not only Suzuki Sonoko's expression was a little dull, but even Mao Lilan and Conan were stunned.

Although I vaguely realized before that this silent guy should be quite good, and seemed to pay a lot of attention to Sonoko, and should have a good impression of him, but he exposed his tracking target so openly...

Should I praise him for being very open about tracking?

"Mr. Kyogoku, right?" Suzuki Sonoko couldn't hold it anymore and finally asked, "Can I ask why you've been following us?"

He didn't say a word, and couldn't say a few words when asked. He looked gloomy and not easy to talk to. It was quite scary to be followed by such a guy.

"This is what the boy named Tang Ze asked." Kyogoku Makoto stood up straight, said solemnly, and even a little proudly, "He said that yesterday, you prevented a murder case, which led to the murderer's attempted murder, so please pay attention to your safety."

No matter what Tang Ze's request was, Kyogoku Makoto was in a good mood because he finally had a reason to follow her.

The decision made yesterday brought such a good development. It's true that good people get good rewards!

... After all, even if Tang Ze teased him and said that he had his purpose written on his face, it was still difficult for him to speak directly and make his thoughts clear.

"...Then why did you only follow me?" Suzuki Sonoko looked at his puffed-up chest, her mouth twitched, and pointed at Mao Lilan who was still standing at the door, "Aren't they just as dangerous?"

And the most dangerous one is Karasawa, who saw the most carefully and even stopped the murderer directly. Why protect them...

Kyogoku Makoto glanced at Mao Lilan's somewhat familiar face, thought for a while, and brought up Karasawa again: "Karasawa-kun said that this lady has a good level of physical skills and is a little safer than you."

"I..." Suzuki Sonoko choked, unable to refute , looking at the stairs in front of him, he couldn't help but protest, "But this is in your hotel. Is it dangerous enough to require your personal protection?"

"Our hotel is very safe, but it is the peak tourist season now, and the flow of people is very chaotic." Kyogoku Makoto pinched the piece of paper in his hand and answered confidently, "Our hotel has only two floors, and it is easy for attackers to climb in. You didn't even lock the door when you came down just now."

Suzuki Sonoko, who was used to living in high-end hotels, thought about this question that she had never considered at all, and was even more speechless.

How can it make sense...

Forget it, it should be OK when Mikyo Masahiko arrives in a while. He can't really follow them to eat with a stern face, right? That's too exaggerated.

"Follow if you want..." Suzuki Sonoko shook her head and went upstairs with heavy steps.

Kyogoku Makoto didn't care about her attitude. He pushed his glasses and chased after him, which made Conan and Mao Lilan, who were stunned in place, unable to recover.

"... Do you think that the two of them..." Conan pointed to the stairs where the two disappeared, and his mouth twitched.

It feels like they should have known each other before, or maybe they had some contact?

"They are quite a good match?" Mao Lilan tapped her cheek and continued.

"...Ah?" Conan, who didn't understand how this detour came about, was stunned.

"Isn't it? Sonoko may not have noticed that her attitude towards him is quite natural."

"Really? Isn't she like this all the time?"

"Yes, it's because she is like this all the time, so it's very natural. Sometimes she talks too much when she meets a handsome guy, so... Forget it, why should I talk to you who lacks this kind of cell."

"Hey..."

"Ah ah——"

When the atmosphere here was getting better, a high-decibel scream from a girl suddenly came from upstairs.

Hearing the familiar voice of Suzuki Sonoko, the two people's relaxed expressions on their faces disappeared and rushed upstairs.

Conan was still shocked while running.

No way, could it be that Kyogoku really said it right, that people can be attacked in a hotel?

Hiss, so it wasn't this person who found a reason to follow openly, but Tang Ze who discovered something?

The two ran up to the second floor and quickly rushed past the corner of the corridor, and saw Suzuki Sonoko panicked and fell on the floor of the corridor, trembling and pointing at her dark room, unable to speak.

"What's wrong, Sonoko! Are you okay--" Mao Lilan and Conan rushed over to support her and looked at her room in the direction she pointed, and then both of them choked.

In the room, Suzuki Sonoko's bag with luggage fell to the ground, and her personal belongings were scattered all over the floor.

Because the lights were not on, it was difficult to see the specific situation in the room, but it was clear that the tall figure standing closer to the door was grabbing another shadow and throwing it to the ground.

The tatami reduced the sound of the human body falling to the ground, but the three people squatting in front of the door clearly felt the floor shaking under their feet.

After landing, the figure struggled painfully for two times, but before he could respond, he was caught again and kicked.

It was unclear where he was kicked, but judging from the fact that he took a breath and didn't even make a muffled groan, the kick was definitely not light.

"That, that..." Conan stretched out his hand tremblingly towards the door.

Stop hitting, stop hitting, won't it really kill someone...

Perhaps because he noticed that there were other people at the door, the attacker paused, changed the angle of attack, and punched the opponent's torso.

The next second, the black figure flew directly through the open terrace window of Suzuki Sonoko.

"Hiss..." Conan took a breath, rushed to the balcony, and looked down with the handrail.

The black shadow fell into the thick tree canopy outside the hotel, and after a long rustling sound, it trembled and disappeared.

Conan instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, although the blow seemed to be heavy, he seemed to be still alive.

With a "pop", Mao Lilan stood up and walked in, turning on the main light of the room.

The warm yellow light sprinkled down, and the three people stared blankly at Kyogoku Makoto standing in the middle of the room, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Kyogoku Makoto's face was still expressionless, but seeing him slowly clench and release his fists, moving his wrists and knuckles, Conan actually saw that he was still unsatisfied.

"You, you just..." Mao Lilan, who remembered why she came up, turned her head and asked Suzuki Sonoko.

"I, I opened the door after I came up, and I saw someone rummaging through my luggage." Suzuki Sonoko, who was frightened, pressed her chest and answered blankly, "He saw the door open, came up to catch me, and then..."

Then Kyogoku Makoto, who followed up, pounced on the man like a tiger, and directly knocked the man back into the room. Without saying a word, he punched him, and the man groaned in pain.

It was only at this moment that she remembered to scream. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she was frightened by the strange intruder or by Kyogoku Makoto.

This is really, really...

Conan and Mao Lilan looked at Kyogoku Makoto again.

Kyogoku Makoto saw their gazes, thought for a while, and took the initiative to say: "It is our duty to protect the guests. But I'm sorry, we didn't catch him and let him run away."

Conan didn't know whether to nod after hearing this: "..."

His faint and apologetic expression, if Conan hadn't watched the whole process, he would have almost believed it.

Are you sure he ran away, not just beaten out by you?
