The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"The taste is okay. If I have to talk about the advantages, it may be because it is close to the sea, so the taste is particularly fresh."

Dao Xie Masahiko, who was absentmindedly observing Karasawa who was behaving as usual, heard the girl sitting next to him say this, slightly regained his attention and glanced at her.

Suzuki Sonoko was wearing a suspender skirt that highlighted her figure today, and Dao Xie Masahiko caught a glimpse of the label on the back of the dress.

It's not an expensive brand, it's a fairly common brand, cheaper than the sashimi she's eating. Why does she have such an ordinary tone?

Is it because you didn't see the price tag?

"It's not bad." Kyogoku Makoto, who was sitting directly opposite him, had his eyes twitching and said to Suzuki Sonoko without any words, "I think the seafood at my shop is a little better than here."

It's also a lot cheaper.

So take two bites less and look at that wretched guy next to you, his eyes are almost inserted into your collar!

"Well, your store does really well." Suzuki Sonoko chewed the fish in her mouth, and did not deny Kyogoku's argument, "I was comparing it to other stores with similar prices."

"This place is much more valuable than my store." Kyogoku complained bluntly.

Dao Xie Masahiko looked at him sideways and frowned secretly.

He had experienced Kyogoku's truly hostile eyes and targeting in the past two days.

Even if you don't talk about the beating he received after being bumped into in the room, this person was quite targeted at him. He was most likely interested in the woman Suzuki Sonoko, so he couldn't bear to see him get there first.

Dao Xie Masahiko picked up a pair of vegetables with chopsticks and twitched the corner of his mouth with some contempt.

You're an idiot who doesn't understand what these women like. If you reveal that your family can't afford such a store, it will only make people lose interest in you.

"The shortcoming of your store is that it is cheap." Suzuki Sonoko shrugged, "If the price is higher, the profit will be able to support the boss to change to a bigger store and more expensive interior decoration, and the business will be better."

"Well, I also have a store with that route at home." Kyogoku protested softly, "It's not as expensive as here."

Dao Xie Masahiko, who picked up the wine glass, choked.

After eating and drinking enough, Tangze, who put down the tableware with care, also looked at him sideways.

This man really doesn't have the upper hand. It's time for him to experience the power of money.

In fact, in a tourist city like Izu, the conditions for a family that can open a hotel and restaurant of this size are really not bad at all. In many places, such Japanese-style hotels even have to talk about "family inheritance" and "dignified behavior". "These clan-style things, there are similar characters in P4.

The Kyogoku family not only opened hotels and restaurants, but also provided for their children to go to school and practice martial arts in the center of Tokyo.

The martial arts gym is not for charity. It only costs money to participate in competitions. However, Kyogoku is not practicing martial arts to get ahead. He is a student with relevant specialties just because he likes it. This shows that his family background is not thin at all.

Later, he respected his ideas and allowed him to take a break from school to study martial arts abroad. This is even more evident.

Kicking the noble son refers not only to his appearance and temperament, but also to the fact that his family is indeed quite wealthy. Otherwise, if you give such a nickname to a poor person, you will make enemies.

This time, it was because Suzuki Sonoko wanted to experience the civilian route, and Kyogoku Makoto, who met her by chance, followed the civilian route. It was not that he couldn't afford it.

Tangze wiped his mouth, preparing to add some more psychological pressure to Dao Xie Masahiko.

"I think what Yuanzi said is right." Karasawa joined in their conversation, "However, looking at the traffic of people in this restaurant, this restaurant may not make as much money as Haizhijia. "My parents are good at business, Kyogoku-kun."

Kyogoku pushed up his glasses with some embarrassment and glanced at Suzuki Sonoko quickly: "Her thoughts have their own reasons. Some people just think that expensive food is better, but my parents think that such a store should be opened in Izu." Maybe it wasn’t as effective as going to Tokyo, so I gave up this strategy.”

"Then I look forward to them opening one in Tokyo as soon as possible." Mao Lilan smiled happily and nodded vigorously, "It must be better than the ones we have been to."

"can you?"

"It is an advantage to make food with the same level of ingredients that tastes better. In addition, if you can learn how to package it, maybe one day your fame will spread all over the world."

"You are right, Karasawa. Many seafood restaurants at this price range in Tokyo do not taste as good as here. I thought it was because the ingredients were fresher."

"It's not like Tokyo doesn't have a coastline. Food is food..."

Several boys and girls naturally discussed the luxurious restaurant, and none of them looked in awe of the expensive meal.

Dao Xie Masahiko picked up the ordering receipt on the side, which could be worth half a month's salary of many office workers, and his eyebrows jumped slightly.

Because he met Kyogoku Makoto in a seafood shop and a hotel, and he had been working as a waiter. Even if he learned from Suzuki Sonoko that Kyogoku Makoto was actually the young owner of these shops, he subconsciously thought that Kyogoku Makoto was just an ordinary family.

In the same way, the three here, Tao Xie Masahiko, who has always defaulted to traveling and consuming like this, and they are not children of a rich family, only now vaguely noticed something amiss.

And Tangze just wanted him to experience what real fear is.

"If we continue talking, Yuanzi has always wanted to hide something from Mr. Tao Xie, so we can't hide it anymore." Mao Lilan, who felt that the topic was a little too far away, woke up and grabbed Tangze's sleeves and whispered.

If a man who was captured by Suzuki Sonoko's civilian route this time knew her real family background, he might be discouraged.

"It's impossible to keep it a secret from others, right?" Tang Ze also replied in a low voice, "If Sonoko's purpose is not to find a handsome guy to play with, but to establish a stable long-term relationship, she can't hide anything in this regard."

If you point it out now, you can still argue that you didn't lie on purpose, you just came to experience life. If you don't explain it clearly later, it will really hurt your feelings.

"What you said makes sense." Mao Lilan thought thoughtfully.

Indeed, if Dokyo Masahiko had backed off after hearing about Sonoko's real family background, then they wouldn't have lasted long anyway. It's good to let him know now. If they can't continue, it's better to suffer a short pain than a long pain...

"If Sonoko really approves of your family's taste, then Kyogoku-kun, you can really suggest that your parents open a branch in Tokyo." As soon as she said it, Mao Lilan immediately found a suitable reason to continue the conversation, "When it comes to luxury restaurants, not many people can see more than Sonoko."

"...I know." Kyogoku Makoto's eyes drifted, "After all, she is Sonoko from the Suzuki family."

Since he met them by chance on the court, Kyogoku Makoto really inquired about her situation and paid attention to her. Of course, it is impossible for him not to know about Suzuki Sonoko's family background.

So when he met her in the hotel at home, he was so surprised and cherished this opportunity.

With his usual life route, if he wanted to meet Suzuki Sonoko, it would take a long time.

"'Suzuki family'?" Dokyo Masahiko, who had secretly realized that something was wrong, took out his mobile phone and prepared to search on the web, repeated his study.

"You're exaggerating." Suzuki Sonoko saw his surprised look and waved her hands quickly, "Ran and I have been friends since childhood. We usually go out to eat together. We can't always go to expensive places."

"Don't make it sound like Ran is poor." Tang Ze, who didn't intend to give Dokyou Masahiko a chance, pressed on, "It's all Uncle Maori's fault for not saving more money before."

"You're exaggerating." Maori Ran responded quickly, "Although your family can't be richer than the Suzuki family, you have the most money among us."

Although, that's because his parents are gone, so all the economic benefits are in Tang Ze's hands alone...

This is a bit hellish to dig deeper, but she understands Tang Ze's intentions, and she resists the condemnation of her conscience and tries to exaggerate the wealth of her friends.

"It's hard to say." Tang Ze raised his eyebrows, "Sonoko-san has her own business now, and the cash she can allocate may not be less than mine."

"Hey, hey..." Suzuki Sonoko put down her chopsticks and prepared to stop them from continuing to talk, not understanding why her best friend and Tang Ze suddenly sang the same tune to expose her past.

"Dang--"

The sound of dishes colliding made several people stop talking and turn their heads to look.

It was Dokyo Masahiko who dropped the spoon in his hand into the white porcelain bowl, with a distorted look on his face.

Relying on the full name search, he has found a few web pages and news reports related to the two girls, and at this moment he can hardly control his hideous look.

"You are, the second daughter of the Suzuki Group? And you, you are the daughter of detective Maori Kogoro?!"

"Uh, yes..." Suzuki Sonoko shrugged her shoulders, looking embarrassed, "I didn't mean to hide it from you..."

You didn't mean to hide it from me? I think you want to kill me!

Michikyo Masahiko took a few deep breaths and barely controlled his emotions, not letting himself show a hideous expression.

Killing the second daughter of the Suzuki Group in front of the family of a famous detective, the subsequent impact of this is completely different from killing any young girl picked up in a scenic spot!

Serial murders are indeed bad and can attract the attention of the police, but the intensity of the search and arrest that will be triggered by killing such a rich person is probably beyond the imagination of ordinary people!

It is because he is worried about encountering such a problem that he has been looking for targets on such itineraries where rich people rarely come. Who knows, he will run into one even if he does this!

What's worse is that this is not just a simple target, but also one of the witnesses he has to eliminate in order to protect himself...

You rich people have nothing to do, can't you go to the upper class to live a vulgar life? Why do you come to this place? !

Mikyou Masahiko felt like he was in a supermarket and found that the price was one digit higher than expected when he checked out a popsicle. His heart was completely broken, and at this moment he was filled with cold hatred for rich people.

Tang Ze held his chin leisurely and looked at Mikyou Masahiko, whose forehead began to sweat.

You are sweating all over, little brother, what is a real assassin?

Suzuki Sonoko, who thought that it was her topic that embarrassed Mikyou Masahiko, rubbed her hands nervously and looked at Tang Ze for help.

Forget it, it's not easy to meet someone who can talk to you, is it going to fail because of the popularization route? Save him!

Tang Ze nodded and took over the topic readily: "Yes, actually I want to experience how ordinary tourists travel, and Sonoko-san is respecting my ideas. Well, let's change the topic, or talk about the rumors about this restaurant? Isn't it said that if you take pictures here, you have a chance to take pictures of a female ghost who died unjustly?"

The smiling Mao Lilan's expression froze.

If you want to kill or cut you, go for Daoxie Masahiko, why do you want to hit me back?

Conan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the topic suddenly returned to the murder case a year ago.

He has not forgotten his original intention of coming here today.

As long as this case is solved before Toru Adachi can do it, he will steal the other party's opportunity to become a regular employee in disguise, and maybe he won't have to meet this person in Tokyo.

It is not a good thing to have such a guy who is likely to be deeply involved with the organization appear in Tokyo, not far from Karasawa.

"Actually, I'm quite interested in this case." Before Mao Lilan started to tremble, Conan forced the conversation and changed the topic from metaphysics to the suspense channel, "When Uncle Dao Xie mentioned it before, I felt that this case Maybe it’s not that complicated, what do you think, Brother Tang Ze?”

Dao Xie Masahiko, who was already getting nervous, his eyebrows and heart were beating rapidly, and his eyelids began to tremble.

Call him brother and call me uncle, right?

And if you insist on talking about the case a year ago...

"It really shouldn't be that complicated." Tangze took over and said in a flat analytical tone, "As I said before, repeatedly stabbing with a sharp weapon is actually a very targeted action. The murderer is male, and There is a high probability that the target is chosen to target women with specific characteristics.”

As he spoke, he slowly looked around the scene, and finally focused his gaze on the empty space beside the dining table.

From Karasawa's perspective, although there are no "female ghosts" here, as the place where Dao Xie Masahiko's first victim visited shortly before his death, the blood mist here is darker than other places.

At that time, the victim might have been sitting near this table, eating without knowing anything, looking forward to this wonderful trip and the rest of his life.

No matter what her personality is like, what she looks like, or whether the similar characteristics to Doxie Masahiko's ex-girlfriend triggered traumatic memories in the other party, this is not a reason for Doxie Masahiko, a scumbag, to vent his emotions on innocent people.

"Generally speaking, this kind of serial murder cases are accompanied by some additional violations." Tang Ze made a "you know" expression, "But unfortunately, none of the cases in this series are accompanied by this kind of behavior. This is actually a bit abnormal. , either as I said before, the murderer has some obstacles, or..."

Karasawa turned his eyes and caught Tao Xie Masahiko's face, which was already wet with sweat, with his peripheral vision.

"The murderer's reason for killing may be related to a failed emotional experience, a failed relationship between the sexes or a failed family environment. In other words, this is a person who does not receive the attention of women in normal life, is suppressed by women for a long time, is in love or marriage Those who suffer defeat and then take out their anger on innocent people are cowards.”

When Karasawa said this, he also used some body language, as if he wanted to let the people around him understand his concept as much as possible, but the fingers he pressed down each time seemed to be hammered on the heart, making Dao Xie Masahiko The side of his face couldn't help but twitch.

"I have indeed heard of this theory. Or is it the American criminal psychology?" Conan asked uncertainly after listening to Tangze's words, which were more like trolling than analysis.

"Yes, the kind that the FBI likes to use." Tang Ze chuckled, "How should I put it, I just feel unworthy for the victim. This person is even a scum, and his behavior is so ordinary and insignificant. Everyone, it’s really a sample that doesn’t even have research value.”

"boom!"

Dao Xie Masahiko, who could no longer listen to the disparaging words, slammed the table hard and stood up suddenly.

Under the gaze of others who turned around, he gritted his teeth and pointed to the road outside the floor-to-ceiling window, almost gasping.

"My car, my car is slowly sliding down. Let me go out and take a look!"

Damn it, this boy named Tang Ze, just wait for me, as long as the opportunity is right...!
