The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Conan! Conan, where are you!"

"Don't hide, come out!"

The sound of the pattering rain carried the children's loud calls far away. The gardener following them took a breath and stopped.

"It must be not in the yard. I am the one taking care of this place. There is no place for the servants to hide."

"We also mobilized the servants to look in the castle." Mamiya stood in front of the gate, watching several people walking back while wiping their wet hair, and gave a disappointing answer.

He observed the quiet RV with a hidden look for a while, thought about it, and retracted his sight.

Just now, other children and the two young men had returned to the RV to check. If the missing child was up there, there was no reason why they couldn't find him.

"Could it be that he really ran into the tower?" Dr. Agasa frowned as he looked at the old and damaged building on the top of the tower. "It shouldn't be that..."

"No, I just checked the door and the lock of the entrance was not opened." Mamiya Mitsuru shook his head and answered confidently, "We have strictly checked it after the incident. It is impossible for anyone to enter casually."

Dr. Agasa sighed heavily.

Well, although Shinichi does relax his attention to the surrounding environment because he is too focused on reasoning or immersed in puzzles, if he acts on his own, he is not a real child and there is no way he can run to a dangerous place on his own.

Really, Shinichi, if you have something to do alone, at least tell me...

"Then there is only the forest left." The gardener touched his neck and suddenly looked at Tang Ze who was standing silently under the eaves looking at the rain curtain without saying a word, "By the way, where are the people in your club? I don't think I saw them just now. Will something happen to them?"

He said this in a rather tactful way, but his tone and expression still accurately conveyed his thoughts.

Tang Ze, who was half a Kyoto native, naturally received his unfinished meaning and couldn't help laughing: "Are you thinking that maybe they took Conan away? No, Conan is my neighbor, and my friends are naturally his friends. Even if they really want to attack a child, wouldn't it be easier to wait until they return to the city? Do you run to the wilderness and kidnap a primary school student?"

What he said was a bit choking, and the gardener was choked by him, but seeing that Dr. Agasa and others who came with the child didn't say anything, he had to curl his lips and let it go for the time being.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Tang Ze retracted his sight, seemingly continuing to watch the increasingly heavy rain, but in fact he focused on the unfolding team interface.

His map was not yet able to directly cross space and see the state of the cognitive world from a distance, but Tang Ze could still observe his teammates and the poor coop who was sandwiched by his teammates.

Noticing that the burning state behind their names disappeared, Tang Ze raised his eyebrows and gestured to Zhu Fu Jingguang.

After receiving the signal, Zhu Fu Jingguang nodded knowingly, quietly stepped back two steps, and merged into the team of servants.

In order to find someone, the castle is now in chaos. Where did an old lady with limited mobility go? Naturally, no one paid attention to it for a while.

Someone had to pay attention to her whereabouts to avoid any unnecessary casualties.

In the final analysis, even if Nishikawa Mutsumi, who was hiding under that skin, had not wasted four years of her life in a wheelchair, she was just an ordinary woman with ordinary strength. It was naturally not a problem for her to attack a child and an old man like Dr. Agasa, but it was a bit too self-righteous to want to subdue an adult male.

When Zhu Fu Jingguang's unnoticed figure disappeared in the direction of the side door, Tang Ze spoke again and interrupted the messy discussion of the crowd.

"Otherwise, let's call the police." He said lightly, "If the child really ran into the forest, it would be impossible for us to search for him in time with just our manpower. Besides..."

He looked at the gardener who had just made trouble with a pointed look.

"Just as you guessed, Conan is the smartest kid I've ever seen. If he was really just trapped, he would definitely find ways to send out the signal. So many hours have passed, and since he still hasn't received any news, I can only suspect that this kid was attacked by someone.

"Hey!" Tabata Katsuo glared back unhappily, "What's that look in your eyes? Are you saying we attacked him? Funny, we haven't questioned you suspicious outsiders yet, but you're the first to complain!"

"If you're not guilty, then call the police first." Tang Ze raised his chin with some provocation.

"Call the police if you want, accusing someone of holding a child hostage for no reason..." Tabata Katsuo touched his pocket unconvincedly, as if he was going to take out his phone to call the police.

Before he could make the next move, Mamiya Mitsuru, who was originally standing on the steps, suddenly rushed into the rain in two steps and slapped Tabata Katsuo's hand that was about to dial.

"No, you can't call the police! At least not now! "Miya Mitsuru stopped him loudly.

Everyone looked at him, some in disbelief, some confused, and some questioning.

Miya Mitsuru gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words with difficulty: "I have commissioned those young people to investigate the treasure. There has been progress. They said that this matter may be related to the fire four years ago. If we call the police today..."

If the police were called today, it would involve the fire four years ago and more than a dozen lives. This unknown treasure may become evidence in a murder case at any time.

For this secret, he followed his wife back from abroad, and even settled in the place where his wife died for four years...

Mamiya Mitsuru, who said that he was not here for the property, always had the desire for this treasure. Seeing that things were progressing, everything was already coming to an end. If he was asked to give up at this time, he would definitely be unwilling to do so. .

The whole place was silent for a moment.

"Father, you, how could you..." Mamiya Takato looked over with shocked and disappointed eyes.

"It's just one day, give those people some more time! There will be no problem..." Mamiya Mitsuru could not help but repeat anxiously while avoiding his stepson's gaze.

"You already know that this may be related to mom's case, but you still...!"

The servants exchanged several glances with each other, and a subtle emotion flowed in their eyes.

Although no one else spoke, in this subtle atmosphere, everything was unspoken.

A familiar sense of distortion came over, and Tang Ze raised his eyelids after achieving his goal.

In this endless heavy rain and fog, the invisible world is getting closer and closer to reality in silent whispers.

"Hiss, this is..."

Suddenly, he was slapped by Shimabukuro Kimie and pushed into the door that started to glow. Conan was stunned for a while, and then he realized that he had really entered a darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, instead of being dizzy in another teleportation across areas.

There is no way, according to joker, the world in the painting is not a coherent world, it is a small room composed of different oil paintings connected to each other. If you cross the edge again and again, you will inevitably experience the pressure of crossing the world again.

He had already drunk countless strange reagents given to him by the Phantom Thieves this night. I really don’t know how big a stock these people have prepared...

“This is where you want to be in from the beginning.”

Leng Buding heard a voice. Conan turned his head greatly and saw several figures moving dimly in the darkness. Pairs of golden eyes were looking at him, making him unable to help but scream behind his back. cold.

"You are all here..." Conan's mouth twitched, and he wanted to take two steps back to avoid the overly oppressive gazes of these people. As soon as he moved, he felt as if he stepped on something.

A stick-shaped, hard and smooth object...

Conan, who had some bad premonition in his heart, turned his head, turned on the flashlight on his watch, and looked in the direction of his feet.

A scattered corpse, already turned into bones, sat quietly in the corner, with the black eye sockets on the skull facing his direction.

"It's bones..." Conan frowned and retracted his foot that stepped on the other person's leg bone. "Are these the bones of the victims of the fire in the castle? No, since the police came to investigate, they still gave Having made preliminary conclusions, it is impossible not to bury the body... So since this is a secret passage in the castle, it is possible that someone accidentally broke in and starved to death in it... That's not right, on the ground here Judging from the accumulated dust, this secret passage is used by someone..."

Almost the moment he came into contact with the corpse, Conan suddenly entered the reasoning mode of his brain. While muttering to himself, he adjusted the light of the flashlight and squatted down to carefully observe the nameless corpse, trying to find more evidence to prove the identity of the other party. Traces of the cause of death can be seen.

"...What's going on with this kid?" Matsuda Jinpei's mouth twitched at the beginning, "He was shocked when he saw us, and suddenly calmed down when he saw the corpse. It was as if he was relieved when he saw the dead. "

"It is indeed reasonable for him to be frightened by us." Miyano Akemi reminded in a gentle voice, "There are no ghosts in this world. Compared with dead people, we are much more unscientific."

Matsuda Jinpei opened his mouth to refute, but after thinking about it, he realized that his own existence did seem to be scarier than ghosts or dead people, so he had to swallow back his words.

"This is a detective, it's very normal." Asai Narumi spread his hands in surprise, "One second someone fell to death in front of him, and he just lost his breath, and the next second he can come up and check it calmly."

"With this psychological quality, why don't they become detectives?" Matsuda Jinpei patted his forehead, "They are just a group of high school students. I remember that some of the newbies in the class had been on the police several times, and they still vomited when they saw the crime scene. You can drown in your own vomit..."

"There's nothing you can do about it. You used to be in the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team. You can come into contact with the scenes of dead people. Ordinary policemen can't hold back on those scenes, right?" Asai Narumi described objectively in a one-to-one tone.

"That's why there is a special need for guys with strong psychological qualities." Matsuda Jinpei pointed at Conan, who was not listening to their whispered conversation at all and was concentrating on studying the skeleton.

"Is there a possibility that the quality of the police is not high enough, so they choose to be detectives." Asai Narumi said very pertinently.

Feeling that he had been scolded, Matsuda Jinpei widened his eyes behind his sunglasses: "Hey, hey, what do you mean..."

"Shh!"

In the shadows, Xingchuan Hui booed to remind them to silence, and several people immediately fell silent.

Originally, they were standing behind Conan and watching him investigate and collect evidence, just like adults watching a child doing homework. With this reminder, everyone took a step back in unison, and with the help of Xingchuan Hui, they completely disappeared into the vast black shadow.

Conan, who was turning on the flashlight, observed the corpse on the ground for a while before realizing that the surroundings were a bit too quiet. He couldn't help but turn his head to see why the gang of thieves suddenly became silent.

The light source formed by the watch dial formed a beam of bright white light in the dusty secret passage. As he turned around, it passed through the face of the person behind him who was completely hidden in the dark.

A face with loose skin, dense wrinkles, and almost all facial features drooping on the head, looked like an evil ghost in the light from bottom to top, which was extremely terrifying.

And this evil ghost who was walking quietly in the dark was holding a stone brick in both hands and smashing it towards his head.

Conan was startled. Before he could react to the sudden attack, he felt as if his shoulder was hooked by something and was pulled back a section, avoiding the powerful and heavy blow.

Xingchuan Hui pulled Conan, who was still in a daze, into the corner and turned off the flashlight on his watch.

The dark room in the secret passage returned to darkness again. Except for the uncertain gasps of Nishikawa Mutsumi, there was no movement.

Nishikawa Mutsumi looked around in doubt, trying to find the child who suddenly lost his shadow.

She heard the brown-haired boy swear that the child was scary smart in the morning, and she began to worry whether this guy really sneaked into the secret passage, so while everyone was out looking for someone, she quickly found a gap and entered the secret passage and searched.

Sure enough, not long after walking, she saw a light source flickering in the passage ahead.

Found it. Nishikawa Mutsumi sneered in her heart.

Unlike the little boy who strayed into this place, she had been wandering around in this complex secret passage for four years in order to find the treasure. Even without any lighting, she could walk freely.

The light source that intruders used to illuminate the unknown darkness and facilitate their progress would instead become a mark that exposed themselves, and she could easily hunt them by taking advantage of the terrain.

Two years ago, the fool who wanted to explore the secret passage without knowing his own strength was killed by her in this way, and the outsider this time would naturally be the same.

Nishikawa Mutsumi looked around the house and felt that the little boy should not have left, but might be trying his best to shrink in a corner to avoid her touch.

So she reached out to the wall and groped, while issuing a sinister threat in the dark.

"Little friend, don't hide. You are very scared, come, grandma will take you out..."

"I'm going to fuck your grandma's legs!"

What...!

A string of unfamiliar syllables suddenly came from behind her. Nishikawa Mutsumi widened her eyes, trying to see who was behind her, and a huge force attacked her from behind.

She was kicked in the back, staggered, and fell to the wall in front of her.

Nishikawa Mutsumi was a little shocked, but she just tried to adjust her balance without too much fear.

This is also the entrance and exit of a secret passage. After falling into this hidden door, it is more convenient for her to change her position in time and fight back against the attacker who ran out from nowhere.

She rushed forward, pressed the switch on the wall accurately, and fell inward.

The next second, the terrible high fever licked up, and her vision suddenly brightened.

Nishikawa Mutsumi fell into the soft red carpet, raised her head, and looked at the scene in front of her in horror.

The fiercely burning flames ignited the curtains and the exquisite wooden furniture. The curled human figure on the bed had lost its movement. A charred thing was burning quietly in the firelight, emitting a disgusting smell.

So strange, so familiar.

Nishikawa Mutsumi covered her mouth tightly in disbelief.

This, this is...!
