The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"So, we have to change the psychiatrist again..."

After walking out of the cafe and just meeting Mao Lilan, Tang Ze heard such a sigh.

Feeling that he had to bear some responsibility for this, Tang Ze comforted him: "That's just right. After reading the book list he left, you will be able to adapt to the work of the psychological committee."

Then wait for the next Didan psychiatrist to arrive and continue the legend...

"Then this doctor is of some use." Conan, who was carrying a small schoolbag, pursed his lips and said dryly.

With Mouri Kogoro as an information relay, he already knew what role Kiharagawa played in this serial murder case that started out as revenge. Hearing their discussion at this time, he could not say any more comments. .

According to his thinking, the doctor's sudden disappearance was either inseparable from the organization or simply the work of the police.

Being able to so skillfully instigate Kazuki Motojo to carry out several months of killings is definitely not the first time Kiharagawa has done this kind of thing. How much blood is stained on his resume requires further in-depth investigation.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Kogoro Mouri who has successfully closed the case, and Karasawa and Xiaolan who have successfully escaped from Kiharagawa.

Thinking of this, Conan observed Tangze's reaction with inquiring eyes for a while.

After all, Kihara River means something different to Karasawa, and Karasawa's reaction is somewhat too bland in comparison...

Mao Lilan nodded instinctively at first, then felt that something was not right, with a subtle expression: "You are talking as if he has no other use after giving me the required reading..."

"That's the fact." Tang Zeyi said, "Apart from this role, if we just discuss his medical level and medical ethics, I would rather express my gratitude."

"Have you figured out the relationship between him and your father?" Conan reacted for two seconds and immediately realized what Tang Ze was referring to.

Even when faced with Kiharagawa's hypnotic control, which can be said to violate medical ethics, Karasawa has never expressed his disgust and disgust so clearly. Now that he suddenly gave such a low evaluation, Karasawa must have figured out something.

The problem of Kiharagawa being too similar to his father was not only known to him, but also to Conan and others. Karasawa, who had investigated the whole matter clearly, had no need to hide it.

So Tangze didn't have the Riddler this time. He nodded and explained the past events based on what he knew.

After listening to Tangze's description, the two people who didn't expect that their entanglement had lasted for so many years were a little silent for a while.

It is true that Kiharagawa is a bastard with no bottom line for using the academic theories studied by Karasawa Ikawa to satisfy his own selfish desires. However, if you carefully count the entire process of getting to know him and Karasawa's father, it is not difficult to see that things were originally going to turn around. of room.

No, it should be said that from beginning to end, the room is always there.

"I don't mean to excuse him, but after understanding my father's position in his heart, I think Kiharagawa must have become even crazier when he learned about my father's death." At the end, Karasawa said with emotion, "If my father hadn't passed away, he might...forget it, there's no point in assuming such a thing."

Karasawa didn't sympathize with Kiharagawa, he just looked at this guy who was trapped in an emotional quagmire, and he saw certain possibilities in him, as if it was a reflection of him and the Phantom Thieves.

Although it was Kiharakawa's insistence that ultimately led to irreparable consequences, but without the intervention of the organization, if Karasawa Ikawa could conduct his own research well and not fall into the control of the organization, with his encouragement, Kihara Chuan definitely would not have reached this point.

They were, indeed, friends.

Conan, who knew about Tang Ze's parents, and Mao Lilan, who probably knew about his family background, looked at each other, and they both leaned over and patted Tang Ze to express comfort.

Even though Conan could only reach Karasawa's elbow by stretching out his arm, his thoughts were conveyed anyway.

When the three of them wanted to discuss a few more words, Suzuki Sonoko ran over in stride.

"Xiaolan, Karasawa—" Ignoring the kid on the other side of Karasawa, Suzuki Sonoko rushed in between the two people and excitedly put her hands on the shoulders of her friends, "Guess what I received!"

"What did you receive?" Tang Ze already guessed what she was going to say but asked cooperatively.

It wouldn't be Sonoko Suzuki if she didn't show off her excitement and extend an invitation at this time.

The generous and generous Suzuki Sonoko is an indispensable team-starting expert in the Death Group. Without her personality that likes to drag her family along to join in the fun, so many murders that occurred in suburban areas, large suburban castles, and overseas resorts would not be the same. A high school detective came to get involved.

"Qiang Qiang!" Suzuki Sonoko was dubbing for herself, and she took out a beautifully wrapped envelope from her bag, turned it to the back, and showed the signature with beautiful calligraphy, "Look, it was Kitagawa-kun who made a special trip to send it to me. An invitation letter! He invited me to attend Mr. Kisaragi Fengshui’s painting exhibition!”

Regardless of other factors, the special invitation to the Yuefeng Water Painting Exhibition is indeed somewhat important. Mao Lilan, who does have a certain understanding of art, knows this very well.

As Japan's national treasure painter, as he gets older, Kisaragi Hosui has become less and less interested in being active in the public eye. The last time he held a solo exhibition was more than ten years ago, a few years ahead of them. He is still older.

His painting exhibition and subsequent banquet and salon invitations were much more important than Moritani Teiji's afternoon tea. Without any connections in the art world, it was not easy to get it.

Of course, it would be easy for the Suzuki family, which has a large collection of art, to get it, but this time the invitation was an invitation sent by Kitagawa Yusuke to Suzuki Sonoko in his own name, and the meaning was different.

Suzuki Sonoko shook the envelope in her hand and chattered excitedly: "Kitagawa said that in addition to the previous masterpieces, this time Mr. Kisaragi also has two new works that have never been published as the finale, and he also painted several works for several disciples, especially Kitagawa. Having a special exhibition area is very meaningful! Even my parents praised me for my good taste this time!”

She was extremely enthusiastic and talked a lot today. After talking for a long time, Suzuki Sonoko slowly discovered that, except for Karasawa, who was showing various expressions of surprise as she explained, The reactions of my best friend and that brat were a bit too flat.

"Aren't you very interested in the art exhibition? Xiaolan, why don't you look surprised at all..." Suzuki Sonoko narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

"Because we all received it." Conan told the truth without mercy, "Uncle Maori, Sister Xiaolan, including me, all have a share."

"Eh?!"

"It's okay, isn't it me? I didn't receive it." Tang Ze said soothingly.

"That's because you don't know him at all!" Suzuki Sonoko immediately widened her eyes, "Damn it, didn't everyone I knew got a copy? Don't tell me, those little brats who like to be detectives Everyone has a share! It's a shame I'm so excited..."

"Well..." Conan's eyes wandered for a moment.

Indeed there is.

The culprit Karasawa showed an innocent smile.

There's nothing we can do about it. After all, we all share the same pain and suffering in the Twin Towers.

Even Mio Tokiwa didn't forget to bring the Young Detective Team with him on the invitation letter. When he, a true disciple of Ruyue Fengshui, sent the letter, he couldn't be more crotch-stretching than her, right?

"Don't you already have Kyogoku?" Mao Lilan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's not important to invite other handsome guys, right?"

"You don't understand, Kitagawa-kun is different." Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand, "If Zhen is the case, I will ask him to go with us."

Suzuki Sonoko was not only excited about being invited by a handsome guy.

Ever since Kitagawa Yusuke rose like a star from the sky, his arduous and difficult schooling experience before becoming famous has been highlighted by many media. Therefore, Suzuki Sonoko, a "little guy", has also entered the media's field of vision.

Kitagawa Yusuke's ability to stand out in the Grand Prize is entirely a victory of his personal ability. His outstanding talent and ability as a painter, let alone his peers, are rarely matched by the young and middle-aged generation. Thanks to the support of scholarships and the encouragement of special bonuses They all happened in the past few months, and actually did not play a big role in his learning process.

These are all facts, but no matter what, no matter how Suzuki Sonoko fell in love with him in the first place, and how she decided to fund him without even seeing his works, the objective situation is that Suzuki Sonoko was Before he became famous, he accurately spotted him and provided him with the help he could.

This story has been packaged in several versions, and Suzuki Sonoko has also made a name for herself in the art world.

Just like when an author becomes famous, the editor who selected him will rise with the tide. When a star becomes famous, the scouts and agents who selected him will become gold medals. You can recognize the potential of a painter when he is still unknown and collect his paintings. , providing opportunities for display, is also a very important ability in the art field.

In short, thanks to Kitagawa Yusuke's success, Suzuki Sonoko can now generally be called a collector.

As a young rich second generation, such a name is really quite prestigious in the social circle. Suzuki Sonoko was particularly happy when she mentioned Kitagawa Yusuke.

This is not just a handsome guy, this is proof that her career is going smoothly!

"Thankfully you haven't forgotten that you already have a date." Conan couldn't help complaining, "You're as excited as if you've received a love letter."

"Don't talk nonsense." Mao Lilan quickly stopped, "Kyogoku-san will be going abroad for further study soon. Sonoko wants to seize the time to get along with him. Mr. Kisaragi's painting exhibition is also a rare memory."

"Going abroad for further study?" Conan thought for a while, and instinctively wanted to add, "Is it because there is no one in Japan who can withstand his beating?" However, he did not say it out of concern for Suzuki Sonoko's mood.

"Yes, he said that he was a little guilty of not being able to protect everyone last time. He felt that his abilities were still lacking, so he wanted to go abroad and continue to improve his martial arts." Suzuki Sonoko's mood instinctively dropped a little, and she sighed softly. tone.

Her relationship with Kyogoku really warmed up quickly, but before any further progress could be made, they were suddenly separated from each other by an ocean. Even if communications were so advanced now, it would not be difficult to find someone at any time, even if her financial resources could support her whole life. Even when we meet each other across the world, we still feel lost.

"Well, he is ambitious and has his own pursuits. This is a good thing..."

Mao Lilan quickly hugged her to comfort her, but Conan next to her was completely stunned.

ah? You threw a steel bar with your bare hands and shot down an armed helicopter. Faced with this kind of achievement, do you think you are really good or have some shortcomings? !

No, buddy.jpg

How far do you have to go before you feel you have achieved your goal? Do you want to climb the Touto Tower with bare hands and get a helicopter to pull you down?

Conan, whose worldview was a little hit, pressed his forehead and felt that he could not participate in the girls' conversation at all. He quickly diverted his attention and looked at Tang Ze.

"Do you want to go to the exhibition together? Kitagawa definitely doesn't mind bringing one or two more friends."

It was just the right time to divert the pressure that Kiharakawa's matter had put on Tang Ze.

It was one thing to face Kiharakawa's ill intentions, but it was more stressful to learn about the entanglement between him and his father and find out that they were once like-minded classmates.

"I won't do it." Tang Ze, who was overwhelmed, refused directly, "I feel that I may not be able to relax if I go to the exhibition with you. It's a rare day off, so I'd better stay at home and have a good sleep."

Conan felt that he was unreasonable, but also felt that he had some reason: "..."

Looking at the envelope between Suzuki Sonoko's fingers, Tang Ze silently withdrew his gaze.

He is one of the organizers of the exhibition this time. It is a bit too tiring to play the game of Golden Cicada Escape at this time.

It is better not to make trouble for the teacher's hard-earned game.

————

"It is worthy of the exhibition of a national treasure-level artist. It is really lively."

Suzuki Sonoko, who entered the door through the VIP channel, couldn't help but sighed at the crowded scene in the venue.

She herself is not very interested in art, but Xiaolan is a serious art lover. She has accompanied her to see many exhibitions since she was a child.

Exhibitions are the type of exhibitions that are high-brow and unpopular. Otherwise, the Beihua Art Exhibition Hall would not have been so tight that it could not be opened, and even caused a murder case because of a dispute over sales.

Only when the exhibits or organizers are really highly popular among the people, will there be many people who are not interested in art at all to join in the fun. The fame of Ruzuki Fengshui can be seen.

"It's not just because Ruzuki Fengshui is famous. It hasn't been long since the Twin Towers." Conan couldn't help but remind.

"Yes, didn't the media say that one of the works that Mr. Kisaragi was going to exhibit was created impromptu when he stood on the Twin Towers that night? Many people did come here for this." Mao Lilan nodded.

Although the collapse of the Twin Towers was more related to the organization, the grudge between Tokiwa Mio and her teacher was also known to the outside world with the sensational case.

Some media with good intentions summarized this disaster as a curse, saying that Tokiwa Mio violated her teacher's wishes, sold her teacher's works privately, and attempted to deprive her of the right to enjoy the scenery she loved all her life, so she was punished by heaven.

This statement is of course nonsense, but there are many people who support it.

Now, Kisaragi Minemi publicly stated that the final work is related to it, and he will personally unveil the two paintings at the exhibition. No one wants to miss this excitement.

"Is that so? No wonder I saw so many policemen at the door." Kyogoku Makoto, who was adjusting his formal clothes uncomfortably, heard this and suddenly realized it.

Before they entered the venue, they saw several police cars outside. It looked like some major event.

"Oh, that's not the reason." Mao Lilan, who knew a little bit about the reason, shook her head.

She had already seen the source of the police's tension.

"The serial case a few days ago, um, that's the one where you bumped into Conan and the murderer in the tower. There was a survivor in that serial murder case."

"You mean, Shindo Sumire?" Conan, who was still impressed by the case, reacted very quickly.

"Yes, not only the police, but also the murderer thought she was dead. As a result, the next day after the murderer was arrested, she suddenly contacted the police and said that she was protected by others in advance and was not dead." Mao Lilan pointed to the exhibition area in front, "That Miss Shindo is a cutting-edge painter."

In front of them was the inner field that had not yet been opened to the VIP channel.

The exhibition area at the center of the circle was in a staggered staircase shape, and a geometric Mount Fuji was built using the height of the steps.

The front wall of the exhibition area, which is also the top of Mount Fuji, is completely covered by a red curtain. It is estimated that Kisaragi Mine will show his new work to everyone there in the afternoon.

In addition to the staff who are busy checking the equipment, there are only three or two people who are like them, holding invitations to socialize with the organizer.

In front of them, at the foot of "Mount Fuji", Kitagawa Yusuke, who is wearing a kimono, is talking to a young woman with long hair.

Blinking twice, Conan felt that he had guessed the cause and effect of the incident.

It is known that Kitagawa Yusuke is a member of the Phantom Thieves. After the murderer was arrested, Shindo Sumire contacted the police and claimed that he was rescued by the Phantom Thieves, but refused to provide any information related to the Phantom Thieves.

On the day of the crime, less than three hours after she called the police for help, Motokami Kazuki came to her house and tried to take her away and kill her. In other words, it took the members of the Phantom Thieves who came to rescue her only two hours to find her and convince her to trust their identity and be with them.

So who would the Phantom Thieves, who wanted to achieve their goal as quickly as possible, send to contact Shindo Sumire, who was nervous and terrified at the time?

The answer seems to be on the table.

"Miss Shindo, you don't have to come so early."

When several people approached, they heard Kitagawa Yusuke lowering his head and talking to Shindo Sumire in a calm tone.

"The teacher's work will not be unveiled until the afternoon. Since you are busy now, there is actually no need to visit too early."
