Phantom Thief of Heart in Conan

Akatsuki Kurusu returned home, said hello to Dr. Agasa, and then locked himself in the room. He had been investigating the matter since he accidentally met the abnormal couple last weekend.

For him who can sneak into the cognitive world, follow-up investigation is not difficult at all. As long as he remembers the location of nearby fissures, he can retreat calmly when encountering any difficult emergencies. It took two afternoons for Kurusu Akatsuki to

I already figured out the origin of this couple.

The woman who seemed to be worried was named Sayuri Matsumoto, and she was the music teacher of Teidan Kingdom. She was beautiful and had a cheerful personality. She was very popular among teachers and students, and she was also considered a celebrity in Teidan Kingdom.

And the man who was driven by lust was Sayuri Matsumoto's fiancé, Toshihiko Takasugi. This young talent is not only handsome, but he is also the heir of the famous Takasugi Group. Together with Sayuri Matsumoto, he can be said to be a handsome man and a good-looking woman.

right.

But underneath Takasugi Toshihiko's handsome, youthful and wealthy mask, there was hidden some kind of twisted desire. Looking at the red light flashing on his body that day, it was obvious that this desire was completely out of control and exceeded its proper limits.

As for the reason why Toshihiko Takasugi went berserk, Akatsuki Kurusu has still not found out. Before that, his understanding of the goal of repentance basically came from the Conan dramas and comics he watched before traveling through time. But Akatsuki Kurusu is only a light-hearted person after all.

Fans cannot keep all the cases in mind. All they can recall are a small number of episodes, main plot information and a few theatrical versions that impressed him.

Akatsuki Kurusu looked at the time and decided to take advantage of tonight's free time to go to the cognitive world to look for the shadow of Takasugi Toshihiko. Unable to rely on his memory, he could only ask Takasugi Toshihiko himself, asking him who seemed to have a perfect life.

, what kind of desires are buried.

Akatsuki Kurusu locked the door and turned off all the lights in the room to show that he was "sleeping soundly". After that, he picked up the skateboard leaning against the bed and wrote Takasugi Toshihiko's name on the note pad.

When he came to the cognitive world, Akatsuki Kurusu jumped out of the window with his skateboard and landed steadily on the street outside the house.

There are no pedestrians in the cognitive world at night, and the residents here also maintain the same routine as in the real world.

A lone taxi stopped on the side of the road and honked at Kurusu Akatsuki.

"No need!" Kurusu Akatsuki waved her hand to the taxi driver who poked his head out of the window, indicating that he didn't need to take the taxi. The latter didn't bother, just restarted the engine and drove towards the end of the street.

Before he left, Akatsuki Kurusu secretly opened his third eye. Just like what he saw last time, the driver's body was still shining with a bright red light that represented danger.

"Is this guy the driver I met last time?" Kurusu Akira couldn't help but muttered, "Who is he? Why is the danger level seen in the third eye still so high? I already have

Four personas!"

In this lifeless world, except for those shadows caused by the desire to run away, only taxi drivers can communicate with Akatsuki Kurusu. This makes Akatsuki Kurusu have to wonder: In the cognitive world, what role do these taxi drivers play?

What kind of role?

But he didn't come here tonight to find out the secrets of the taxi driver. Akatsuki Kurusu unfolded the map, and after confirming the location of the shadow Takasugi Toshihiko, he turned the power of the skateboard under his feet to the maximum.

Even after being re-adjusted by Dr. Agasa, the horsepower of this turbine engine is still ferocious, running at full power is enough to catch up with high-speed cars. Akatsuki Kurusu, who doesn't care about pedestrians, does not hesitate to turn the horsepower to the highest level, and in the wide open road

Rampage on the road.

According to the map in Akatsuki Kurusu's hand, the location of the shadow Toshihiko Takasugi is marked at a nearby intersection. At the current speed of Akatsuki Kurusu's movement, he can arrive there in about ten minutes.

According to Kurusu Akatsuki's investigation results, the reputation of this young master Takasugi is not that perfect. In fact, many people say that he is indecisive and untrustworthy, and some even have ill intentions and think that he will destroy the Takasugi Group sooner or later.

Kurusu Akatsuki originally speculated that Takasugi Toshihiko's desire might be related to these negative comments, but now his shadow appears at an ordinary intersection. It seems that the root cause of Takasugi Toshihiko's illness is not that simple.

Ten minutes later, Kurusu Akatsuki arrived at the intersection at his destination. Unexpectedly, he did not find Toshihiko Takasugi's shadow at the intersection. There was only a mother and son holding hands. Both of them had masks on their faces, and they looked different from the others.

There is no difference among the residents.

Is there an error in the map? Or am I looking for the wrong way? Akatsuki Kurusu checked the map again and again, and then confirmed that he had not found the wrong place. This was indeed the location of the shadow Takasugi Toshihiko.

Just as Akatsuki Kurusu doubted herself, a piercing siren suddenly came from not far away, tearing the silent night. Akatsuki Kurusu followed the sound and saw two cars speeding towards him from the other side of the intersection.

, followed closely behind was a police car, which rumbled its siren to make pedestrians around it retreat.

But by the time the mother and son at the intersection reacted, it was too late. The car being chased by the police was traveling so fast that it ran over them before they could retreat! The mother wearing a mask was at the last moment.

He pushed his child away in seconds, but he was lying under the wheel, and he didn't even have time to scream.

The gangster who caused the accident was unable to start the car for a while, so he had to abandon the car and run away in panic. And because the road was not wide, the police car behind him saw that the road was blocked, so he could only get out of the car and chase.

The child wearing a mask ran to the policeman who had just gotten out of the car, apparently wanting to seek help for his mother, but the policeman pushed the child away and continued to chase the escaping prisoner.

The mother underneath doesn't care.

Time was fixed at this moment, and only the helpless crying of the little boy was left in the frozen world. Looking at the little boy with an illusory body, Kurusu finally understood the source of Takasugi Toshihiko's desire.

"I see, what I saw was a reappearance of a car accident many years ago!" Akatsuki Kurusu slowly walked up to the little boy and said to him:

"So, you are Takasugi Toshihiko?"

Shadow Takasugi Toshihiko ignored Kurusu Akatsuki and just lay beside his mother's body crying.

After a while, the scene at the intersection was shattered and reconstructed, and the shadow Toshihiko Takasugi held the hand of his mother, who was still intact, and returned to the center of the intersection.

And the siren sound like a reminder came from not far away again...
