The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Irish whiskey? Hmm, I think I've heard of it. What, is this the news Akechi Goro gave you?" Haibara Ai, who returned to the doctor's house, heard such a question head-on and smoothed her hair on her temples as usual.

She always lowered her head when she spoke, and slowly untied the shoelaces on her feet to prevent her expression from being seen by Conan, who was standing there with a serious face.

"Yes, this is the information I got in exchange for the antidote you brought out. By the way, when did you develop the KA series antidote? I haven't received any news at all." Conan crossed his arms and said this , couldn't help but whisper, "Yes, actually, you gave my antidote to Tang Ze first instead of to me..."

How could you develop an antidote for tissue products without telling me?

ah? You never told me before, so that’s okay.

Hui Yuan Ai heard a vague sadness in his tone. Before raising his head, he pressed the corners of his mouth to suppress his obvious smile.

"I gave the antidote to APTX to Tangze just in case he could give it to you directly. The reason why I don't want to tell you directly is because I'm worried about giving you unnecessary hope. You really can't take more of it. It is a laboratory preparation that has not undergone clinical trials at all, and it is very dangerous." Haihara Ai tilted his head, thought about it, and said carefully, "As for KA, it is because the development of antidotes here has been slow. The progress was not enough, and I remembered the news that this drug was being circulated in private, so I made some.”

Although this story about Kumail is directed and acted by Karasawa, her drug development is real.

With Tangze's parents' information as a basis and some early drug analysis from the police, the development of her antidote was naturally progressing very quickly.

"As for Ireland, I roughly know that he is an adult male, and there is a high probability that he is not Japanese. But as you also know, the members of the organization I have contacted are limited. If I want more information, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to help. "Hui Yuan Ai shrugged and walked around Conan, whose CPU was a little slow after burning for a day.

Conan followed her step by step, his thoughts still centered on these questions that he had been thinking about for a long time: "If I knew his appearance, I could probably guess his identity. What a pity."

"That's not necessarily a good thing. Your identity is as sensitive as ours. If you continue to investigate casually, Ireland may be suspicious of you." Haiyuan Ai, who started to put on an apron, shook his head gently, " What’s the purpose of their actions, do you understand?”

"Part of our previous guesses were correct. One of the deceased was a grassroots member of the organization. Because his identity was about to be exposed, he brought his known undercover information to use as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the organization, but was killed by the murderer. The murderer He took this list, and Ireland came in undercover to find this list." Conan told the information he learned from Akechi Goro, and then frowned, "Did you know about this guy Akechi Goro's situation before? ?”

"Which part are you asking about?" After placing the stool in front of the stove, Haihara Ai turned around and asked, "His identity, or the fact that he agreed to tell you some information for the purpose of antidote?"

"Sure enough, you knew before." Putting his hands in his pockets, Conan watched her calmly start to fiddle with the kitchen utensils on the table, "Looking back now, it's not like you came to this street to find me just to talk about this matter. Bar?"

Although the doctor temporarily agreed to keep his identity secret from Haiyuan after being persuaded by Haiyuan, which almost caused a wave of misunderstandings and mistakes after Haiyuan transferred to another school, the doctor still told him why he took in the younger Gong. Noshiho.

Therefore, Conan knew the keywords "Kudo Shinichi", "Karasawa", and "escape quickly" that she was mumbling at that time.

Combined with the fact that she had already discovered that Akechi Goro had been subjected to tissue experiments, the whole context of the matter was easy to come out.

"Almost, it's what you think." Haiyuan Ai paused, then turned his fingertips towards the kitchen knife and picked up the kitchen scissors.

It was better not to use the kitchen knife. She was afraid that the guy would make some shocking guesses later, and she couldn't help but chop it off.

Strictly speaking, I didn't lie.

After learning about his sister's death, he discovered that Akechi Goro was worried about Karasawa's safety and chose to seek help from Kudo Shinichi, the only person in a similar situation...

Considering that Tang Ze was probably under surveillance by others, her original avoidance was very reasonable.

"Ah, if it hadn't been for what happened in Ireland, you wouldn't have told me at all, right?" Conan narrowed his eyes in a subtle mood, "You two brothers and sisters..."

After careful calculation, the two of them basically never took the initiative to tell him about the organization. It was only when he discovered it first and asked, that they would reveal a little bit of information under various dangerous threats.

Everyone looks like he is afraid that if he tells him something, it may cause bad consequences. He is really looked down upon.

"Doesn't this incident prove the power of the organization?" Haihara Ai put aside the cut vegetables in his hand and did not look back. "Whether it is a budding detective, a well-known star, or a rich man with a huge fortune, Or the ordinary workers who pass you by... If you hadn't discovered it yourself, if you hadn't heard the information, would you have believed that they were members of an organization with another identity? "

She knew that Tang Ze might have considered that the intensity of the organization's actions was still rising step by step, and thought it was necessary to let Kudo get in touch with more things that touched the essence, so he came up with so many tortuous routes and began to slowly release different signals to Conan to prepare for the showdown that would come sooner or later in the future.

But because of this, she should give Kudo a stern warning, asking him to be careful and be mentally prepared.

"You have seen the shadow of the behemoth from the beginning and provoked troublesome things. Kudo, you are already part of their huge plan."

Since he smelled the unusual dangerous atmosphere because of his chance encounter with Gin, and then tried to spy on the organization's private transactions, some things have long been irreversible.

This is not Kudo Shinichi's fault, nor is it anyone's fault. Instead, it is the legacy of the organization, a tumor that has been nurtured.

But they who have entered the game can only follow the rules and be cautious before gathering enough power.

"So you are also part of this plan? You, Tang Ze, and that Akechi Goro." Hearing her serious tone, Conan simply asked directly, "In order to stabilize the organization, what did Akechi Goro take from Tang Ze?"

If there is any doubt left by the sharp conversation with Akechi Goro today, it is this question.

According to Ai Haibara's hint and Akechi Goro's statement, Akechi Goro is the medium used by the organization to hold Tang Ze hostage and kidnap him, and is also their eyes to monitor Tang Ze.

Tang Ze feels guilty about this peer who has been deeply harmed by his parents' research, just like Ai Haibara looks at Conan himself and other people who have been harmed by APTX.

If it weren't for the back-up left by the Tang Ze couple, it would be impossible for Akechi Goro to really hurt Tang Ze. If it weren't for Ai Haibara's antidote, which guaranteed the possibility of Akechi Goro breaking free from the control of the organization, this situation would have been impossible to end long ago.

What about Tang Ze? What did he give to make the organization, which is greedy and has long regarded their family as its own assets, temporarily stop and let Tang Ze maintain his current life?

Huihara Ai, who had known that this question would come, turned back and gave him a calm look.

"Haven't you seen it a long time ago? Tang Ze gave a price." Huihara Ai said calmly, "You know the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, right?"

"Eh? You mean Joker? But, but..." Conan opened his eyes wide and wanted to refute something. He remembered the confrontation between Gin and Joker on the rooftop a long time ago, and his next words were stuck in his throat.

Yes, although Joker said a long time ago that they agreed with him on the organization's position, this only meant that they had the intention to fight against the organization.

And Joker's active approach and active expression of his thoughts in front of him was fundamentally abnormal.

——Since the power of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts is so incredible and is still growing step by step, why on earth did Joker come to seek cooperation from a trivial detective like him?

This internal logic has been reflected in this behavior.

The organization cannot grasp the power of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, but they already have the means to counter and control them.

Seeing the shock on his face, Huiyuan sneered, turned his head, and picked up the kitchen knife on the knife stand.

"We have to speed up and seize the time, Kudo. It's not enough to just develop an antidote. We have to find out their details, take back all the research results from the organization one by one, and find all the dregs who used these results. Only then can we truly gain freedom."

She said so softly, and the kitchen knife in her hand fell heavily.

It hit the chopping board with a "dong" sound, cutting off the thin slice of meat on it.

————

"...I feel a little sorry for this unlucky detective."

Sitting in the operations room of the Phantom Thieves, Kuroba Kaito tutted his tongue and put down the eavesdropping headset in his hand.

"Although we did create some smokescreens on the identity issue, what did I say was not true?" Opposite him, Tang Ze, who was still dressed as Akechi Goro, shrugged and threw the gold nugget in his hand. "The people in that organization are increasingly watching us. We have to hurry up."

Kuroba Kaito made a contemptuous expression, and the action of taking the gold nugget in his hand was very accurate.

Really? Why do you say it as if it is to hone others and promote their growth? Why don't I believe it?

The Phantom Thieves did not directly eavesdrop on Dr. Agasa's house - although Miyano Akemi really considered doing so - but Haibara Ai, who carried Noah on her phone, could be regarded as an eye of the Phantom Thieves. As long as Noah wanted, it would be very easy to know what was happening over there.

The electronic devices occupied by Noah are equivalent to Noah's eyes and ears. As he grows up in the Internet, this computing power will only be further enhanced.

The growth potential of strong artificial intelligence is very terrifying.

So, when Kuroba Kaito, who was kind enough to send the child home, came to the Phantom Thieves to pick up the recent express delivery, he was honored to hear the live broadcast of the Phantom Thieves monitoring the neighbors.

While satisfying his inner curiosity, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but sigh again.

"You guys, don't you feel heartbroken when you lie to children like this?"

The two fake kids were talking in a serious manner. If it wasn't for the fact that he was dragged over to pose for photos in the morning, and the person sitting opposite him had such a familiar face, Kuroba Kaito would have almost believed it.

Kuroba Kaito certainly knew that the Phantom Thieves were mainly fighting against the organization that killed Tang Ze's parents, or rather, the Phantom Thieves had never concealed his intentions.

Kuroba Kaito, who actively collected X-alloys and wanted to find out the truth about his father's disappearance, was naturally opposed to that organization. Even if they had never confronted each other head-on, as long as they knew the action target of Kaito Kid, the people of that organization would definitely not let him go, and Kuroba Kaito also acquiesced in his own behavior of standing in line.

Although he didn't know what they were busy about, Kuroba Kaito, who was called over by Edogawa Conan to help out by using the last school festival to make fun of him, almost couldn't hold back when he saw "Akechi Goro".

He had not had much contact with this detective, and he did not care much about what these commercial private detectives were doing. As long as no one asked Akechi Goro to catch Kaito Kid, it was none of his business.

But Kuroba Kaito had come to the Phantom Thieves many times, and he even had a group to communicate with the members of the Phantom Thieves, okay?

Others might be easily deceived by the change of appearance. As a disguiser, could he not recognize the face of Hoshikawa Teru?

Who else could be the person who wore Hoshikawa Teru's face and showed a sunny smile that was completely different from Shade?

This morning, fortunately, his main task was to sit there and pretend to move his mouth to let Kudo Shinichi speak, otherwise it would be a great test of facial muscle control.

He didn't know whether Tang Ze was embarrassed or not, anyway, his toes were really tired, and he almost scratched through the soles of his shoes.

I sat there, pretending to be my enemy calmly, and said to the detective seriously, "I am Tang Ze's monitor, but also his protector. This kind of thing, Tang Ze, you dare to say it, I am embarrassed to listen to it!

You guys from the Phantom Thieves of Hearts are really good at playing tricks...

"You have to admit that most of what you said is true." Tang Ze spread his hands and made an innocent expression. Maybe because of the wise suit, he looked particularly annoying.

His parents' research was taken away by the organization, right?

Kumail relied on submitting this research to maintain his daily balance. Isn't that a fact?

The Phantom Thieves of Hearts can't show up in front of the organization casually unless they are sure of confrontation. Isn't that the truth? Look at the dead people in our room. Who can show them?

We must work hard to gather the strength of all parties, dig out all the old coins of the organization first, cut off their retreat, and then we can completely eradicate the organization step by step. What's wrong with that?

How reasonable and correct it is. If you don't believe it, ask Vermouth to judge it. Ask her if what I said makes sense!

"I am such an honest person..." Thinking of the logic he prepared for the coops whose vision was blurred by the onion skin, Tang Ze couldn't help but sigh with relief.
