The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"You specially called me here, could it be for this, uh, 'Detective Koshien' variety show... After all, what is the point of this kind of show?"

Who says it's not?

Conan curled his lips, but remembered that he had agreed to participate in this show in disguise, and to prevent the boomerang from piercing his head, he carefully chose to shut up and took out the photo he found.

"This is it, the person I asked you to investigate before."

Hattori Heiji took the picture from his hand and the quality was not very clear. It was obviously some kind of remake or re-photographed photo. After carefully identifying the content of the photo for a while, he frowned.

"This is obviously the host of the Japanese TV station. No matter how you look at it, his face and hairstyle have not changed. So is this why you asked me to help you investigate instead of looking for other police officers?"

"Yes, I was inspired by the incident that happened last time I came into contact with her. After all, Miss Rena Minami is a popular beauty, and she also has her own fan site and homepage. This is what I saw left by a fan on a certain homepage. The picture, it was said that he was traveling and taking photos more than ten years ago, and accidentally photographed a woman who was very similar to Rena Mizuna. When he was sorting through the photos, he discovered this to his great surprise, and now he takes it out to share with other fans..." At this point, Conan's mouth twitched twice, "It's really hard to understand."

He didn't want to complain about this wonderful fate that spanned time. He mainly thought of Goro Akechi unhappily.

Out of curiosity, he also checked Goro Akechi's fan site, but he didn't mention it anymore. In short, Conan said it would be better to have less contact with this guy in the future, lest someone discover his true identity in the future. It turned out to be because of his ignorance. Be careful to be in the same frame as Akechi Goro, so unfortunately it becomes the background board or something...

"The background is Tsutenkaku Tower, and so is the convenience store bag in her hand." After carefully identifying the details of the picture for a while, Hattori Heiji nodded affirmatively, "Do you think she once lived in Osaka? More than ten years ago?"

"There is a possibility. Although I can't say for sure, not long after I found out about the photo, the TV station contacted the fan who posted the photo and deleted it. I think there must be a reason why she reacted so quickly." Conan crossed his arms, "You have to confirm the other party's identity to know what relationship she has with the organization."

"Do you think that Rena Mizuna's identity may be fake, and you want to check her real background?" Hattori Heiji looked at the relatively young-looking Rena Mizuna in the photo, and raised his eyebrows uncertainly, " It feels quite difficult to find out something about this.”

"Anyway, please let the Otaki Police Department conduct a careful and secret investigation. You were also dealing with Karasawa's case, and there might be some connection." Conan said very seriously, "You have seen situations like this before. Maybe, the current Shui Wu Lianna is no longer her, and the organization's methods in this regard have been fully seen."

If Ireland's replacement of Toru Adachi's identity and the recovery of key evidence from the police inspired Conan, it is that he is now more and more certain about the common paths that organizations will take.

It is not impossible for a figure with a certain degree of public fame like Reina Mizuna to be replaced by another person at some stage of his life without anyone noticing.

"Oh, so you want to try to prove that this woman really exists, and then try to find clues about when she might have disappeared, right?" Hattori Heiji touched his chin and nodded suddenly.

"Yes. In addition..." At this point, Conan changed the subject and showed the flyer in his hand, "Don't you think this is actually a good opportunity to get in touch with Shui Wuxian?"

After putting the photo away, Hattori Heiji looked down and saw Goro Akechi's disgustingly handsome face, and the expression on his face suddenly collapsed.

"Huh? So after all, you still want me to participate in this variety show..." Hattori Heiji patted his forehead, feeling like he had a deep understanding of what it means to be in trouble.

I went around the boss and found a high-sounding reason, but in the end I returned to the original point...

"If you think about it carefully, this is not only a good opportunity to get in touch with Reina Mizuna, but you can also get in touch with Goro Akechi at the same time!" Conan, who held the poster in front of his face, explained plausibly, "More importantly, 'Kudo Shinichi 'Join in too!"

"...Huh?" Hattori Heiji held up his hat, looked at Conan holding the poster, then looked at the familiar shadow on the screen, and uttered a louder question.

He is Kudo Shinichi, then who are you?

"Ahem, it's not an official appearance..." Conan lowered his voice and his eyes drifted.

Letting Kudo Shinichi appear in front of the camera was originally not a good choice, but at Karasawa's suggestion and after mediation with the program team, he decided to participate in the program in a special form.

This is a good opportunity to create a gimmick, but there will be no clear image. Everything will remain in a specious state. It can be completely understood as a script fabricated by the program team to create highlights, and it can also be used to test Shui Wureina and others. The response from the organization is indeed a good idea.

But in this case, he himself needs someone who can lead him into the show to cover for him.

Looking at it from all angles, the only suitable candidate left was Hattori Heiji, the representative of the famous detectives in the West, and he had no choice. If he didn't look for Hattori, he couldn't look for Goro Akechi, right? !

Hattori Heiji, fully aware that he had become a half-tool man, snorted coldly: "You were very determined before, weren't you? Where are your gang of thieves friends?"

"Don't mention it..." Conan rolled his eyelids when he thought of this.

In fact, to be honest, being able to contact the members of the organization under the cover of the show was a good opportunity to invite Joker, and the other party would not refuse. Unexpectedly, he was rejected by the other party with the reason of being busy with business recently as soon as he started.

Conan, who consciously provided a lot of information to the other party and even endured the humiliation of carrying the locator for several months, felt quite unfair when he thought of this.

When there is a case, he runs faster than anyone else. When there is no case, he just ignores people, right?

In addition to Joker, he also asked another friend who could take his place. Who knew that Kuroba Kaito, who had agreed to it, was shocked to hear that the guest lineup included Akechi Goro and Hakuba Tan, and immediately refused. He even refused to answer the phone. I don’t know how bad the impression they left on him was, and it was exaggerated to such an extent...

Hattori Heiji lowered his eyebrows and was about to righteously refuse this request to treat himself as a spare tire, but Toyama Kazuha behind him poked his head out.

She grabbed Hattori Heiji’s shoulder and looked at Conan who was whispering with him: "What are you talking about... Wow, who made this poster? You look pretty handsome in the print."

"Yes, really?" Hattori Heiji was about to refuse, but his words were stuck in his throat. He raised his hand to adjust his baseball cap, and his dark skin was slightly red.

"However, putting you next to so many handsome guys makes you look ordinary." Toyama Kazuha turned his eyes to the faces of other people on the poster and commented sharply, "Since you are going to represent our western region, you can't be outdone by them."

"I...!" Hattori Heiji widened his eyes and straightened his back at once, "I can't lose to this group of pretty boys!"    "Really? I heard that you were outdone by Akechi-kun last time..."

"That was an accident, an accident! I won't lose to such a despicable person, okay?!"

"Calm down, hush, you're too loud, Hattori, they're all looking at you——"

————

"Well, have all the guests on the list been invited? Well, that should be quite interesting. I'll let the agency contact you, please leave your phone number..."

After completing the conversation with the soft voice of Akechi Goro, Tang Ze hung up the phone and exhaled softly.

Although he really wanted to promote this variety show, being too proactive would not be in line with his character. There must be a process of three requests and three concessions, and he must not appear too eager.

Let Mizunashi Rena temporarily think that she is the hunter, which will facilitate the conversation.

After sending the contact information he wrote down to Amuro Toru, Tang Ze put down his phone and looked at the short-haired girl standing in front of him.

"The crew has been successfully pulled together. Thank you for your help, Miss Koshimizu."

The girl wearing sunglasses pushed the glasses on her nose and shook her head: "I should say thank you. I'm sorry for doubting you before. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have the chance to save Xiaoxun."

Tang Ze curved his red eyes and responded to her thanks with a lenient smile.

"But you can't blame me for having doubts about you." Nanatsuki Koshimizu tapped her temple and made a thinking gesture, "Who would have thought that the famous high school detective and the thief who turned Japan upside down were actually the same person?"

"Shh..." Tang Ze raised a finger and gestured, "Who are you talking about? I don't know. Besides, the person who really helped your friend was you, and we just played a small role."

As a very popular heavyweight criminal, Tang Ze, who came to the world of science, naturally couldn't forget Nanatsuki Koshimizu.

It's just that her name alone is really useless. After all, the root cause of her case is not her. When Tang Ze found that the navigation of the other world did not respond to this name, he was even a little relieved.

Natsuki Koshimizu's hatred for someone comes from the death of her friend. If she is really twisted, it means that the tragedy has already happened and it is irreversible. Even if her emotions can be corrected, the innocent victim has already lost his life. Tang Ze doesn't want to see such a scene.

But because the original work did not mention the name of her friend who committed suicide after being wronged, except for the keyword of lavender, there was no specific location and time of the case. Even if Karasawa wanted to prevent the tragedy, he would be helpless.

However, things turned around, or in other words, the energy that Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who cherished her friend's life very much, burst out was indeed something that even Karasawa did not expect.

When her friend was overwhelmed and called the dying hotline that represented both farewell and help, Nanatsuki Koshimizu tried her best to save her friend.

Including calling the police, contacting all people who might find her friend, finding the cause and effect in the fastest time, and also running to the illusory, urban legend-like Kaito channel and leaving a message for help.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu was amused by his words and smiled brightly: "My way of helping her is to go online and ask for help like a headless fly? Are you praising yourself as a qualified vigilante? Well, I admit that you are really good."

At this point, the smile on her face slowly faded, and with the shadow cast by the sunglasses, she formed a slightly gloomy expression.

"Xiaoxun's life was indeed saved, but her life has been ruined by that bastard. If that guy can't honestly admit his mistakes to the police and correct the problems in the direction of criminal investigation, Xiaoxun will spend the rest of her life as a murderer. A few frivolous and irresponsible inferences will destroy a person's peaceful and tranquil life. This is unfair, and I will never accept it."

It's a pity that such a request for help means that the original unjust, false and wrong case still happened.

Because she was slandered as a criminal, Nanatsuki Koshimizu's friend fell into despair. Even if the Phantom Thieves acted in time to dispel the shadow of the girl's heart, they could help her continue to resist the pressure from the prosecutors and successfully wait for Nanatsuki Koshimizu to arrive and rescue her, but the case is currently only temporarily stagnant due to problems with clues.

No one knows what this girl will face in the future better than Tang Ze, who has gone through the same process, so his anger towards Nanatsuki Koshimizu is no less than the original work.

If Tang Ze also has a close friend who loves and hates like Xiao Xun, the other party may make a similar choice after knowing his experience.

"But you also understand that even if he is found, he cares so much about his reputation. Even if he realizes that his reasoning is wrong, he would rather choose to hide his name than tell the police that he may be wrong... You may not get the result you want." Tang Ze nodded in understanding, but still said tactfully.

After rescuing her friend, Nanatsuki Koshimizu first went to the Phantom Thieves CH to express her gratitude to the Phantom Thieves who gave her silent support, and then began to look for the identity of this poor detective who almost killed innocent people with his nonsense.

She came from Fukuoka to Tokyo to find Karasawa who pretended to be Goro Akechi, and was persuaded by Karasawa because she was still screening the "real murderer" of the case.

Her appeal was to withdraw the charges against her friend and protect her friend who was still suffering from the terrible pressure caused by the environment. But since this guy was so shameless to submit his reasoning that he knew there were loopholes to the police for the sake of the title of a so-called famous detective, it would be very difficult to make such a person publicly apologize for his mistakes.

"... In that case, don't blame me for being too impulsive." Nanatsuki Koshimizu maintained the gloomy and angry look and pulled the corner of her mouth, "I think a guy who doesn't take other people's lives seriously won't take his own life too seriously, right?"
