The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Minoru Fukase, who is currently ranked high on the suspect list, is likely to arrive in Beika-cho from Nagano soon."

Megure Jusan, holding the information in his hand, stood in front of the conference room to explain the situation and began to arrange the work in an orderly manner.

"The suspect has been on the run for many months because he caused serious injuries during a conflict with the first victim. In order to facilitate the pursuit, the police have been monitoring the daily actions of his girlfriend. Now, the Nagano Prefectural Bureau has received news that Minoru Fukase's girlfriend Risa Yoshii has arrived in Tokyo from Nagano and got off at Beika Station."

"The opinion of Nagano Prefecture is that she is here to see Minoru Fukase?" asked Matsumoto Kiyonaga, who was sitting at the main table.

"Yes, Risa Yoshii works in a small bar in Nagano Prefecture. Her daily life is very regular and she rarely travels far. At present, it seems that the most likely purpose of her trip is to find Minoru Fukase." Megure Jusan nodded.

The members of the investigation team at the conference table exchanged glances and nodded.

If there is any biggest threat to this serial killer, the biggest problem is that he may continue to kill.

In addition to the seven barrels with a red circle next to the hands of the five victims behind, there is a one barrel next to the body of the first victim, Shuhei Jinno.

If it is regarded as the criminal's order of the deaths of the dead, then according to common sense, he has at least two targets.

Seven barrels, but there are still two blank circles left.

"Since this suspect is currently showing unusual movements, it is necessary to arrest him first. Megure, you take your men and follow Officer Morobushi." Matsumoto Kiyonaga nodded and made a decision quickly.

Sitting on the other side of the conference table, Ireland, who was not very energetic, raised his eyelids, then looked down at the documents in his hand, and restrained the urge to ask for participation in the arrest.

The reason for interrogating as a homicide suspect is not sufficient, but the suspect himself is a fugitive, and arresting and sending him to prison is completely in line with the procedure.

So this matter is indeed suitable for the Tokyo Investigation Division 1, which is responsible for its own jurisdiction.

Even the other members of the investigation team had little reason to get the police involved, so he, a consultant who was not even a police officer, had no right to participate in the arrest.

If Minoru Fukase was really the murderer, he could not let him fall into the hands of the police.

Ireland pursed his lips, very reluctantly, but still pressed the phone twice and sent the prepared email.

After receiving the order, Megure Jusan stood up after explaining the arrest requirements and prepared to take Morobushi Takaaki to the classroom to select a few people to arrest together: "Officer Morobushi, let's go, please contact the police officer in charge of monitoring the situation on your side. Officer Morobushi?"

Morobushi Takaaki, who was staring at the window of the conference room, waited until he called again, and then he came to his senses and retracted his gaze and stood up, following Megure Jusan's footsteps.

"Sorry, I haven't adapted to Tokyo these days, and I'm a little distracted."

"The work of the task force is really energy-consuming. An old guy like me is very tired." Megure Jusan patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Although you are young people, you should also pay more attention to your health."

"Yes, I will." Zhu Fu Gaoming smiled calmly, and then asked casually, "What is outside the window on the east side of the conference room? Is it the Metropolitan Police Department's office?"

The conference room they were in was on the east side of the Metropolitan Police Department. There was nothing strange about the windows facing the outside road, but the curtain of the one on the east side was always drawn tightly, as if afraid of someone peeping.

"Hmm? If it's to the east, that's the police department, right?" Megure Jusan recalled and shook his head, "It's dark and strange, isn't it? The windows over there were asked to be closed by the police department. It must be some confidential department."

"Is it a confidential department? I understand." Zhu Fushi Gaoming nodded, glanced at the east side again with his peripheral vision, picked up his feet and quickened his pace, "Let's go, Ganzhu and the others have arrived in Beihua Town, let's hurry up."

"How is it, is he gone?" Matsuda Jinpei, who was squatting under the window, saw Zhu Fushi Jingguang standing in front of the window again, and then he poked his head out again and stretched out his fingers to pick at the blinds in front of him.

The thin metal sheet deformed slightly, and an eye-shaped hole was pressed out again on the airtight curtain.

"Let's go, don't look." Zhu Fujingguang shook his head, pulled away Matsuda Jinpei's hand, and smoothed the blinds again, "I guess he has some mission and has left."

"Your brother is quite sensitive to other people's sight." Matsuda Jinpei stopped picking at the leaves, raised his hand and patted Zhu Fujingguang on the shoulder, "Actually..."

In fact, if it is limited to one or two, and they are policemen like Zhu Fujing Gaoming who are capable and trustworthy in all aspects, even if some secrets are revealed to him, it will not be a big problem.

Although the mobile phone handed to him by Furuya Ling has silently explained everything, and although Zhu Fujing Gaoming has realized what happened from his brother's long-term loss of contact and silence, these are all unspoken things after all.

Zhu Fujingguang, who died as an undercover agent, could not have a public obituary, and before the threat of the organization completely disappeared, the public security department would not give any news to the relatives of Zhu Fujing Gaoming, the victim.

So in fact, until today, even if every person who knows about it has guessed it in his heart, whether Zhu Fujingguang is dead is still a secret.

If Zhu Fu Jing Guang really wanted to, he could use some euphemistic ways, such as telling Zhu Fu Gao Ming that the previous information was a misunderstanding caused by disconnection, or saying that Zhu Fu Jing Guang was not dead, but was seriously injured and had just woken up recently. This is different from the shocking thing that a person came back to life directly, and it is not a very deadly secret.

Whether it is Furuya Ling or Tang Ze, they should be happy to cover up this lie for him.

Zhu Fu Jing Guang knew what he wanted to say, raised his palm, and stopped him from saying the next word.

"I understand." Zhu Fu Jing Guang took a deep breath, turned his back, and no longer looked at the special task force meeting room separated by only a wall, "So I can't hesitate even more."

When he decided to become an undercover six years ago, he was ready to put life and death aside, abandon the past, and his efforts and sacrifices might be buried in the dark forever.

People who are not prepared in this way, even if they barely stand in the same position, are likely to be easily seen through because of this indecisive hesitation, and there is no possibility of going on at all.

He was as determined as he was back then, and he is still the same now.

His friends and comrades are willing to give him the room for compromise, but it is precisely because of this that he cannot keep it for himself.

He is also willing to believe that his brother will feel his determination and firmly believe that he is still sticking to the justice he believes in somewhere in the world.

"Let's go, we still have things to do. The patient information that Muharakawa has contacted needs to be investigated in depth."

"Hey, Master Jing, you are still the same. You like to keep everything to yourself. You are so persistent."

"Just think you are praising me."

"The suspect's girlfriend has arrived at the Beihua Department Store..." Conan poked his earphones twice, looking at the locator signal that was flashing gently on the lens, with a strange look on his face.

The eavesdropping device that Xiaolan left in the clinic that day was handed to Conan by Tang Ze at that time.

Conan, who was very worried about Tang Ze's situation, hesitated again and again, and still put it back on Tang Ze's bag.

In the recent Beika Town, there are Adachi Toru, Kihara River, and members of the organization running around. Who knows when it will harm his unlucky friend who has shown some extraordinary characteristics?

So although he knew it was a bit inappropriate, he still left this thing on Tang Ze.

What if Tang Ze was kidnapped again? There is a locator... right?

Conan did feel a little inappropriate after doing this, but he touched the watch with the locator of the Phantom Thieves on his wrist, and he inexplicably straightened his chest again.

The situation is special, and it would be best if nothing happened. He will take the initiative to explain to Tang Ze after dealing with this case.

Anyway, the eavesdropping sticker that Xiaolan used the pink sticker to harm cannot be taken back, so it can be used for the second time.

However, after the thing was placed on Tang Ze, the signal disappeared. He thought that the sticker had been pasted several times and lost its stickiness, and was lost and damaged on the road.

As a result, for some unknown reason, when he was fiddling with the button of his glasses to check the power, he unexpectedly received a sound and signal from the other end again. From the content, it seemed that the sticker had been thrown into the joint task force, and it was unknown who it was attached to.

How did it get through, Conan was puzzled.

Could it be that the bug that lost its stickiness stuck to the sole of Maori Kogoro's shoe, and he stepped on it and went to the Metropolitan Police Department? Is this sticker sticky or not?

Because the distance was really far, the sound was intermittent and not clear. As a result, at this moment, the signal suddenly stabilized, and the person carrying the bug had arrived in Beika Town and was approaching Beika Shopping Street.

Beika Department Store is not far from the shopping street. It seems that the suspect that the task force is investigating has delivered the goods to the door.

Thinking of the organization's attention to this case, Conan frowned and exerted force on his feet.

The skateboard gently changed direction and went to the location of the department store.

"This is Yamato Gansuke, my colleague in Nagano Prefecture, who is in charge of this tracking work." Zhu Fushi Gaoming led a few police officers to meet Yamato Gansuke, who was leaning on a cane and had a serious face. He turned his eyes to a certain place in the mall and said nothing more.

In such a public place with people coming and going, their limited manpower is just a few drops of water falling into the vast ocean. It is not easy to do a good job of monitoring without leaking any water.

This is not the time to mention each other's identities. Hiding their identities, secretly keeping surveillance on Yoshii Risa, and being ready to arrest Fukase Minoru at any time is the right thing to do.

Megure Jusan nodded lightly and greeted him. Without saying much, he whispered to his men, and a group of people quickly dispersed into the crowd of the mall in pairs.

On the fourth floor of the mall, near the railing near the elevator, Yoshii Risa, who looked expectant and a little nervous, was crouching there with her arms folded, staring at the entrance of the mall, obviously waiting for someone.

Takaaki Morobushi and Sou Yamamura stood above her, also looking at the young girl through the glass window.

His opinion was slightly different from that of Inspector Megure of the Investigation Division.

He felt that it was not appropriate to seek efficient arrests in places like shopping malls. It was easy to provoke fugitives in public places, and instead of being wary of Minoru Fukase's counterattack, he should pay more attention to whether Risa Yoshii would have a big reaction.

Since she was able to keep in touch with her boyfriend after he was identified as a fugitive, she must have a very good relationship with Minoru Fukase. No one can tell whether she would have any extreme reaction under stimulation when an emergency occurs.

If she really attacked the police, it would be fine. A 21-year-old bar girl would probably have a hard time defeating a well-trained policeman. But if she got carried away and climbed up the railing and threatened that she would jump down if the police dared to arrest her, that would be a real problem.

The skylight on the fourth floor of the mall is a bit too high. It would be inappropriate to catch a fugitive and cause a death.

While observing the scene, he gently reminded: "Yamamura, put the manual on your chest a little further in, it's too obvious."

Yamamura Cao looked down at the police manual and ID card that had been exposed, and was embarrassed for a moment, then quickly pushed them inward: "Oh, oh, I will pay attention and not let the criminal notice it."

Zhu Fu Gaoming glanced at his eyes that were clearer than those of a college student, and hummed without comment.

This police chief of Gunma Prefecture is also a professional group, why would he have the idea of ​​seeing the scene?

Thinking of this, he asked: "Mr. Yamamura, didn't you come to such a scene when you were in Gunma?"

As a criminal policeman, it is hard to say whether he can solve the case, but he should be very skilled in arresting people. It's just arranging the scene control and arresting a fugitive in plain clothes.

"I've been here before. I just wanted to see how people in Tokyo do it." Yamamura Cao touched his head a little embarrassedly, "I also want to experience Tokyo's urban highway."

Compared to Tokyo, Gunma Prefecture is only a small place in all aspects except for its developed tourism industry.

"Oh? If you like Tokyo very much, then why did you go to Gunma?" On the one hand, it was a small chat to kill time, and on the other hand, Zhufu Gaoming was really a little curious.

If you come from the professional team, it's a bit exaggerated to say that you can go to any department you want, but it's definitely not difficult to stay in Tokyo.

If Zhufu Gaoming himself graduated from the law department of Toudou University, what he really pursued was professional success and victory. It would undoubtedly be a better choice to stay and enter the professional team than to immediately apply for a job as a policeman in Nagano.

He just wants something different and is not interested in this. He is still very clear about what the professional team means.

"Oh, this." Yamamura Cao grinned, "I just watched TV dramas when I was a kid and thought the police were awesome, so I wanted to be a policeman. As for more, I don't care."

Compared to a complex city like Tokyo, returning to his hometown to be a policeman is closer to home, less work, and fewer major cases, which is more suitable for his simple pursuit.

After all, even criminals are often like people, the higher-end ones like to run to big cities.

"Compared to this, uh, I wanted to ask you before." Yamamura Cao looked at Yoshii Risa, who was standing there and adjusting her posture because of waiting, anxious and expectant, and asked in a low voice, "If your last name is Morifushi, you, can't be a relative of Xiaojing or something? Xiaojing from the Morifushi family, do you know him?"
