The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"What do you mean Ehara Tokio is gone?" Mouri Kogoro asked in confusion as he put down the coffee at hand.

"Literally." Shiro Konno pushed up his sunglasses, wiped his laptop with a cherished expression, and said, "I haven't seen him all day today."

"Could it be that he was the organizer and realized something was wrong and stopped showing up at all?" Mr. Jincheng pushed up the sunglasses on his face and laughed twice, "Jiang Yuan, you are indeed the kind of person who only shows off his evil intentions through the screen. What a coward."

"Old man, do you know Mr. Ehara?" Mouri Kogoro looked at him who was leaning on crutches.

"Hey, why don't you know him? After all, he is the murderer of my son." Kenichiro Kaneshiro stamped the crutch in his hand and sighed.

Conan's attention was suddenly attracted, and he looked at Kenichiro Kaneshiro: "Grandpa, are you saying that Ehara Tokio has killed someone?"

"What the master is talking about is a game program that he regards as a child." Lin Jingjiang, the servant standing behind him, added.

"Ehara, he is a despicable guy. He has good skills, but he never does anything serious." After wiping the dust off his computer and starting to apply maintenance coating on it, Konno Shiro said casually, "He is a hacker, and his reputation is It’s very bad. You should ask Mr. Maeda and Ms. Sayama about this.”

Akiko Sayama, who had been out of sorts today and had a pair of sunglasses on her face, folded her arms and turned her head in one direction after hearing the words.

Maeda Satoshi reached out and patted her back, sat closely together, and answered for her: "Akiko's brother, who is also a friend of mine, founded a software company a few years ago. Originally, all aspects of operations were always very good. Good, it has received venture capital from a big bank, but Jiang Yuan used hacking methods to steal the program they were developing."

Kamijou Hideko, holding a cigarette in his mouth, snorted coldly: "I've heard of that software, and he tried to sell it to me. After discovering its origin, the company stopped the acquisition..."

"...But it's too late." Maeda Satoshi sighed, hugging his thin fiancée, "Akiko's brother was facing divestment and accountability because of the leak of the software. He couldn't face the questioning of collaborators and investors and jumped off the building. Committed suicide."

Akiko Sayama lowered her head and leaned quietly on Maeda Satoshi's generous shoulders, still without saying a word.

Her eyes under her sunglasses were red and swollen at the moment.

Last night, after she watched with confusion the Phantom Thief of the Heart disappeared without a trace in the Night Baron's costume, she watched the video twice and then made up her mind to delete it.

When Maeda returned to the room, she hugged her boyfriend and broke down crying for the first time in several years.

The stubborn Akiko Sayama almost never showed the pain caused by her brother's death.

The Phantom Thief, who claimed to be punishing her on her behalf, seemed to suddenly take over the heavy burden in her heart. Her emotions were completely overturned. She couldn't help hugging her fiancé and cried all night, crying in his arms until she fell asleep.

Today her eyes were swollen and her voice was hoarse. If Maeda Satoshi hadn't insisted, she would never have left the room.

"A Cong." The dumb Sayama Akiko suddenly called her boyfriend's name.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Satoshi Maeda responded subconsciously as he patted his girlfriend's back up and down as if coaxing a child.

"Let's hold the wedding when we get back." Sayama Akiko looked at the silver ring on his hand and reached out to hold his palm.

Last night, the bright silver ring on her hand was like a heart anchor, firmly grasping her.

While communicating with the mysterious man who claimed to be the Phantom Thief of Heart, she kept caressing it unconsciously, and finally wavered and accepted the other party's proposal.

...Put the outfit that represents sin in the place designated by the other party.

She also let go of the hatred and anger that had been suppressed on her back.

"Eh?!" Maeda Satoshi was a little surprised, but also at a loss. He froze in his movements, "Didn't you say... I don't want to do it for the time being..."

"I changed my mind." Sayama Akiko laughed, put her forehead on the side of his neck, and said softly, "You are right, my brother has been gone for so long, I should let go."

Sadness and relief flashed in Maeda Satoshi's eyes, and he hugged his girlfriend deeper into his arms: "Akiko..."

Conan looked at the two people hugging each other strangely. He didn't quite understand why their style suddenly entered the romance channel. He just thought it was the mention of her brother's death that made Sayama Akiko feel shaken and needed the comfort of someone close to her.

He was still thinking about the information in the words of several people just now.

"So, you didn't come to participate in the 'Mysterious Journey' because of the virus?" Conan was a little confused. "Could it be that you came here for Tokio Ehara?"

The members who came to participate in the event all had a grudge against one of them... there was something familiar about them.

"They probably are, I'm not interested in hackers or anything like that." Shiro Konno was the one who was the most indifferent. After completing his daily routine, he put his precious machine into his briefcase, "Anyway, I am I am indeed interested in viruses..."

"If the organizer is really Ehara Tokio, then I think there is no chance of getting the virus. It is probably a cover-up created by him." Hideko Kamijou shook the cigarette in his hand and said with disgust, "With his character, If he really had mastered that horrible virus, he would have used it to spread it for blackmail, and it would be impossible to share it with others."

Looking at Kamijou Hideko's sexy backless dress, Mouri Kogoro was a little eager to make a move, and he approached diligently: "You seem to know him very well, Miss Kamijou."

"Humph, after all, he is my ex-husband." Hideko Kamijou shook her head, and her long curly hair floated like waves on her smooth back.

"Ah?" Mouri Kogoro was really surprised now, "Look, can't you see..."

When a group of people were sitting in an open-air restaurant having friendly afternoon tea, chatting and testing each other, Conan suddenly noticed a black shadow from the corner of his eye.

The inexplicable dream from last night still flashed back in his mind from time to time, and he looked keenly in the direction of the shadow.

——I saw a roll of black robe and white mask, suddenly thrown down from upstairs, and slammed into the swimming pool below, causing the tourists who were playing in the pool to scream.

Almost in the next second, he ran over and asked loudly: "What's wrong!"

Could it be that the missing Ehara Tokio was picked up from above...

When he saw the mass clearly, his question was stuck in his throat.

"Top hat, mask, cloak and robe..." Tang Ze, who was following him, squatted down and looked at the things floating on the water.

"This is the costume of the Night Baron." Kamijou Hideko walked over and recognized the distinctive mask.

She raised her head and looked up, and saw the semicircular terrace where Conan almost fell yesterday.

"Why did you suddenly throw something like this down? Is it a prank?" Shirou Konno frowned, watching the fabrics slowly unfolding in the swimming pool.

Seeing this scene, Akiko Sayama suddenly tightened her hands with her fiancé, and tears filled her eyes again.

She knew...this was the man's answer.

The mission of "Night Baron" is over.

Conan, who had been attacked, was probably the most nervous person present.

He pondered, secretly gauging the reactions of the people in the room, and then looked up at the hotel lobby behind him, trying to find the missing Ehara Tokio.

This sight made him stunned.

A figure with chestnut hair and a black shirt, pushing the largest silver suitcase in his left hand, was leaving the front desk and walking towards the main entrance of the hotel.

From a distance, I couldn't see this person's face, but the color scheme made Conan immediately think of a familiar name.

Goro Akechi...?

"What's wrong?" Tang Ze walked up to him, blocked his view, and looked in the direction he was looking for a while, then turned around and said, "Did you find anything?"

"...It's nothing." Conan shook his head, looked back, and watched several participants pick up the outfits from the pool, "Maybe I saw it wrong."

Goro Akechi also came to this hotel for vacation...what a coincidence, not to mention he was dressed very differently.

Ever since Goro Akechi appeared, he had never changed his khaki double-breasted top and black trousers, and he always looked like this.

Maybe it's just that the hair color is a bit similar, which made him misunderstand.
