Phantom Thief of Heart in Conan

The police station is still busy after dark, and Officer Megure is still in the office, processing various documents. As a police officer in the busiest investigation section of the Metropolitan Police Department, Officer Megure not only has to handle a large number of documents every day, but also

You should often go out in person to participate in field activities.

There is no way, who made this place Mihua Town? I don’t know why, but in recent years, homicide cases in Mihua Town have emerged one after another, it is almost like being cursed. Such a severe public security situation not only greatly damages the credibility of the police, but also

This made them already very busy. In fact, even Officer Mumu himself couldn't remember how many days he had worked overtime in a row.

Today, what tripped Officer Megure into the unit was not a murder case, but compared to the murder cases he was accustomed to, this case about a "phantom thief" was obviously more difficult.

"Sorry, Xiaolu! I'm going back late today too... Oh, don't say it again, you know, that's how my profession is... Okay, that's it. I'm going to work, remember to go to bed early,

No need to wait for me." Putting down the landline phone in his hand, Officer Mumu sighed helplessly, and then continued to devote himself to his work.

He picked up the red card on the table and read the ridiculous words on it seriously, but he couldn't find any clues from it.

"Phantom Thief... Oh, what a troubled time it has been! Takagi, come here!"

"Yes!" A young police officer with a reliable appearance trotted over to Officer Megure.

"Takagi, has the investigation on the library surveillance video produced any results?"

"Report, we have conducted a detailed investigation of the library's surveillance videos in recent days, and have not been able to find any suspicious characters! Those warning letters seem to have appeared out of thin air, and we have no idea how they were posted!"

"How could this happen? Is it possible that the Phantom Thief really comes and goes without a trace just like his name?" Officer Megure frowned. He couldn't figure out how the Phantom Thief bypassed the surveillance system and posted the warning letter.

.

"Takagi, what's the result of Director Tsukawa's inquiry? Where is he now?"

"Director Tsugawa, his investigation ended at three o'clock in the afternoon. Of course, no results were obtained." Officer Takagi opened his notebook and reported the investigation situation to Officer Megure, "No matter what

Director Tsugawa did not reveal any useful information about the Phantom Thief or about his 'crime' written in the notice letter."

"However, Officer Chiba and the others have been secretly monitoring Director Tsukawa. If there is anything unusual happening to him or around him recently, we will know it immediately."

"Well, good job. Let's keep it under surveillance first. Since Phantom Thief said in the notice letter that he was going to 'steal' Tsugawa Hideharu's desire, he will probably take action in the near future."

"In addition, Takagi!" Officer Megure changed the topic and ordered Takagi, "From now on, you are responsible for investigating Tsugawa Hideharu and the Mihua Library to see if this respected director is really secretly selling

poison!"

"Understood! But Officer Megure, can't we just search the Mihua Library?"

"No, it's not easy to apply for a search warrant. At present, we only have a ridiculous warning letter in hand, and there is no way to convince the superiors. However, I always feel that this Director Jinchuan is different from what he appears to be, like

There are some secrets buried... In short, Takagi, you are responsible for the investigation in this aspect. In addition, remember to find someone to bring Okino Yoko and Fujie Akiyoshi to the bureau tomorrow, they are also parties to the Phantom Thieves incident."

"Understood... Officer Megure, the phone on your desk is ringing."

Officer Megure also heard the ringtone of the landline at this time. He signaled Takagi to return to his post, then picked up the phone and said:

"Hello, I'm Memu, who are you?"

"It turns out to be Chiba, what happened? Did something happen to Tsugawa Hideji's side?"

"...What did you say!? Tsugawa Hideharu confessed his crimes to you, and now he wants to surrender here!?"

…………

Half an hour later, Officer Megure looked at the remorseful Tsukawa Hideharu in front of him, and for a moment he didn't know where to start.

After taking some time to organize his words, Officer Megure finally asked:

"Mr. Tsugawa Hideharu, because this matter is of great importance, I want to ask you again. Are you sure that what is written in this notice letter about your drug trafficking is true?"

"Yes, as the notice letter said, I have been secretly using my position as the library director to engage in drug business behind the scenes over the years." At this point, Tsugawa Hideharu couldn't help but burst into tears, "I really

What a scumbag! He’s actually doing such dirty things in the public library of Yoneka Town!”

"...When we questioned you this afternoon, you never admitted to drug trafficking."

"At that time, I was still intoxicated with greed and felt that I could not be discovered. But now, I have returned from my own way and have a deep understanding of what a bad person I am! I must accept the punishment of the law.

OK!"

Faced with Tsugawa Hideharu's sincere repentance, Officer Megure not only didn't feel happy, but also had a headache. He recalled the last case of Fujie Akiyoshi. According to Fujie Akiyoshi's confession, he was also receiving a warning at that time.

In less than a day after writing the letter, he changed his ways and decided to start a new life.

"Mr. Jinchuan, did you meet the Phantom Thief after you went back in the afternoon?"

"No, except for the warning letter, I have no contact with Phantom Thief, and I don't know who he is. However, I must thank him. It was he who made me recognize myself!"

Officer Megure glanced at Chiba beside him, who immediately understood and whispered in his ear:

"During the surveillance process throughout the afternoon, we did not find any suspicious persons entering or exiting Tsugawa Hideji's house. Officer Takagi has just led a team to search his house, but I am afraid we will not get any clues."

Officer Megure nodded. After a few more words with Hideharu Tsugawa, he handed over the task of recording to Chiba and left the interrogation room alone.

Back in the office, Officer Megure sorted out all the documents related to "Phantom Thief" in the past few days, and then anxiously called his boss.

Now, the existence of Phantom Thief and his warning letter have been published in newspapers, and the news of Hideharu Tsugawa's surrender will surely be known to the media soon. By then, Phantom Thief will definitely become a hot news in the future.

This incident is no longer something that Officer Megure can handle alone, and logically speaking, characters like "Phantom Thieves" are not within the scope of their responsibilities of the Search Division.
