Phantom Thief of Heart in Conan

After confirming Director Ochiai's desire to settle down again, Akatsuki Kurusu said goodbye to this old man who had grown old, and embarked on his return journey with satisfaction.

For Akatsuki Kurusu, this is really a good thing that makes him relieved. Director Ochiai is a dedicated museum director, but as he said in the original work, after killing someone, he is like a stain on an oil painting.

The knight who had absorbed the blood of demons was also cursed and corrupted by sin.

Now, Director Ochiai no longer has to take desperate risks out of despair. This is probably the meaning of the existence of Phantom Thief.

After gathering his mood, Kurusu Akatsuki confirmed the current time. According to the information he learned from Sonoko, they would set off to a mountain villa of the Suzuki family tomorrow afternoon to attend Sonoko's sister's class reunion there. Kurusu

Akatsuki's next target, Chikako Ikeda, will also attend this class reunion.

This is a good time to send out a warning letter.

…………

On Saturday afternoon, Conan followed Xiaolan for a walk in the mountains, looking listless.

Because she was afraid that Conan would get lost, Xiaolan was holding his hand tightly. Seeing Conan's lack of interest, she quickly frowned and asked considerately.

"What's wrong, Conan? Are you unhappy?"

"I'm not unhappy! I'm really happy to be able to hang out with sister Xiaolan!" Conan quickly forced out a stiff smile, covering up his poor acting skills with his immature childish face, and successfully made Xiaolan feel relieved.

.

In fact, just as Xiaolan suspected, Conan had no interest in this trip. According to Xiaolan, this time they were going to attend Sister Yuanzi's class reunion.

Why did Sister Yuanzi invite an outsider like Xiaolan to her class reunion? Conan knew without thinking that this must be Yuanzi's fault. Combined with Yuanzi's nymphomaniac personality, this party would most likely turn into a sorority for men and women.

.

Really, that nymphomaniac Yuanzi! Conan secretly shouted in his heart. Although he had no interest in this boring sorority, he believed that he had an obligation to protect his childhood sweetheart Xiaolan from some men with ill intentions.

So he followed Xiaolan to the mountains.

As for what kind of men are "malicious"? The answer is that any man who wants to get close to Xiaolan can be classified as a suspect. This standard is determined by Mao Lilan's childhood sweetheart Kudo Shinichi and the child Edogawa who lives with her.

Conan co-formulated to ensure authority!

"Speaking of which, Sister Xiaolan." Conan raised his little face and looked at Xiaolan, who was frowning at the map and meditating, "Are we lost?"

"Impossible, I clearly remember that the villa is nearby!" Xiaolan forced a smile and said with some embarrassment, "Let's look for it again, maybe we can reach our destination by taking a detour!"

It seems that before defeating the wild bees and butterflies that may be targeting Xiaolan, one must first overcome the complicated mountain road. Conan sighed and took the initiative to take the map from Xiaolan and help her find the right path.

With Conan's help, the two of them soon found the right path and successfully arrived at a suspension bridge.

"Conan, look!" Xiaolan pointed to the luxurious villa across the bridge and shouted excitedly, "After crossing this bridge, we will reach the venue of this party!"

The Suzuki family is so wealthy that they actually built such a luxurious villa in the mountains. Could it be that the entire mountain belongs to their family? Conan sighed inwardly at the wealth of the Sonoko family while using a childish tone to deal with the excited child.

orchid.

"Conan, there is someone on the suspension bridge!" Xiaolan patted Conan's head, and the two of them looked at the black-robed figure on the suspension bridge, wondering if he was also a guest at this party.

At this moment, the man in black robe on the suspension bridge turned his head as if he noticed their gaze, revealing his face covered with dense bandages under the cloak in front of their eyes.

After this frightening glance, the strange man in black robe took vigorous steps and quickly left the suspension bridge, as if he was in the nearby jungle.

"That wasn't an illusion just now, was it, Conan?"

"Hmm...probably not?"

…………

"A guest with a bandage on his face? There are no weirdos like you mentioned here!"

After entering the villa, Xiaolan and Conan visited the villa under the guidance of Yuanzi. During this period, Xiaolan also tried to ask Yuanzi about the strange bandage man, but still found nothing. Suddenly, she began to doubt again.

Did you have some hallucination just now?

But Conan, who had also witnessed the bandaged man, would not think it was because of his own eyesight. He, who was always alert, immediately had an ominous premonition and began to consciously observe his surroundings. The detective's professional habits told him that something unusual would definitely happen here tonight.

thing!

Just as Conan was deep in thought, Xiaolan's scream suddenly came from the second floor. He hurriedly woke up from his thoughts, pulled up his legs and went up to the second floor.

"Are you okay, Sister Xiaolan...what are you doing?"

Thinking that Xiaolan was in danger, he rushed to the second floor, only to see Xiaolan with a red face and apologizing to a half-open door. Conan approached suspiciously, and then realized that Xiaolan was the one who went to the wrong place.

After entering the room, I happened to see other male guests changing their clothes.

The same scene happened twice in a row after Conan went upstairs. Xiaolan finally found her room after the upper bodies of the three male guests at this party were all seen.

Really, didn't you know to knock on the door before going in? After the false alarm, Conan slapped his head speechlessly, having a new understanding of his childhood sweetheart's recklessness.

What Conan didn't know was that in one of the rooms that Xiaolan had just opened, a man was frightened because of the sudden situation just now.

This man's name is Takahashi Ryoichi. He came here today not to party, but to kill people.

"Damn it, who was that woman just now? I never heard that there were outsiders at this party!"

"She didn't see my figure just now, right? No, she probably didn't. She only glanced at me once or twice, so she wouldn't have been exposed so easily! But... what should I do if I was really exposed?

"

"Damn it, I should have locked the door! We have obviously planned it to this point and everything is ready. How could such a flaw happen?"

"Do you want to give up this action? No, how can you! Atsuko is still waiting for me to avenge her! If you miss today, you will never have such a good opportunity again!"

"If that girl discovers my flaw after killing someone... No, I can't let that happen!"
