The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Have you seen the Phantom Thief of the Heart?" Conan was slightly startled and turned his head to look at Tangze's expression carefully.

Although he was quite curious about how Tang Ze would react if he met Joker, it didn't seem like a good thing to have the two of them meet directly.

Conan couldn't help but think of the outrageous speculations about Haihara Ai's life experience a few days ago when Tang Ze was still in a state of amnesia and didn't realize that Haihara Ai and he were both fake children who had become smaller due to the A drug. .

What kind of test-tube baby was created by Karasawa's parents secretly retaining the DNA information of Miyano Shiho's parents? What kind of artificial human was made by Karasawa's parents based on the Miyano family?

Karasawa always seems to like to use a teasing tone to describe his parents' many experiments and theoretical styles that go beyond medical ethics, and he has a self-deprecating taste in hell jokes.

When these weird words are used as hell jokes, they do have a kind of deconstructed humor that makes people laugh, but if they are really put on people...

The lower half of Joker's face was exactly the same as Karasawa's, but he still remembered it fresh.

"Yes, I saw it." Tangze paused for two seconds and watched the changing expressions on the elementary school students' faces for a while before continuing, "There are quite a lot of people in their Phantom Thieves group, which is quite lively. It's a pity that the most famous The group leader seemed to be busy with other things, so he just passed me by and left me for who knows where."

Just tell me if what Tangze said is true!

He had indeed met people from the Phantom Thieves, and there were indeed quite a few of them. The three of them were still secretly on their way to watch the fireworks.

Conan's slightly nervous expression suddenly collapsed.

But yes, throughout the game, Joker sat next to him and watched the show and chatted with him, so it should be impossible for him to run into Karasawa.

"Why do you look so disappointed?" Tang Ze tilted his head and stared at him for a while, "What's the secret again, great detective?"

"Secrets or something..." He laughed awkwardly, and looking at Tangze's increasingly interested look, Conan waved his hand, "I just have some curiosity about the Phantom Thief of the Heart."

"Detective and Phantom Thief? A classic combination." After looking at Conan meaningfully for a while, Karasawa looked away, looking at the darkening sky, and said casually, "But when it comes to contact, I think the Phantom Thieves of the Heart, It should indeed be inseparable from my parents' research. No, it seems a bit arrogant to say so. To be precise, what they are doing should be what my parents originally wanted to do when they studied this subject."

"To make people repent? To prevent the occurrence of evil?" Conan blurted out, remembering the speech of the second member of the Phantom Thieves.

Then their scientific research is quite concerned about the country and the people...

"Hey, what are you talking about as a middle school student... Although I feel like my dad is really capable of such a job." Karasawa poked the mini detective's nervous head, "You won't have such specific ideas. , after all, until their death, the applied level of cognitive science has actually only stayed in a very narrow field."

Conan understood what Karasawa meant.

After all, their research has fallen into the hands of the organization. You can't expect the organization to do anything positive with these technologies. It's a bit contemptuous.

"Develop a method to directly and fundamentally correct personality and heal people's souls from the spiritual level... If they can see someone really using this technology on the right path, they will probably be very pleased." Chang Chang Taking a deep breath, Tang Ze stared at the dim sky between the open fields and sighed.

Although this passage contains some performance elements, Tang Ze's emotion is also genuine.

If his parents were still alive, they would have been really happy to see such a group of unfettered Phantom Thieves come out of nowhere... and they would be so fun to watch that they couldn't stop watching them.

"Technology is not used well where it should be used. This is not a technical fault." Conan, who could only reach Karasawa's elbow with his raised hand, expressed his comfort firmly, "Just like Haibara , I think she doesn’t want her technology to be used for this purpose.”

Tang Ze paused, lowered his head and looked at the primary school student who was still unaware of APTX4869's true function, and reflected silently for two seconds.

Oops, because there is a feeling that the true effect of Drug A is almost common sense. It seems that I forgot to tell Conan about this problem. I just warned him that if the organization discovers your situation, I don’t know what the consequences will be. of……

At present, he may really regard APTX4869 as a poison that cannot achieve the experimental effect, so it is used as a mouth-killing artifact.

Forget it, it's not a big problem. Let's go back and let Haiyuan Ai have a breather with him... It just so happened that her research on drug A did make some progress.

But she still had to be patient and don't let her tell Conan that a short-term antidote was already available.

Judging from the frequency with which Conan is in danger, if his standard for taking drugs is "I feel that the danger has become greater and I can solve it", he will almost be able to develop drug resistance before the next generation of products is iterated.

This is also for his own good, taking care of the physical and mental health of minors, right?

"There are more and more people..." Mao Lilan sighed as he sat firmly on the place mat and looked at the festival stalls down the hillside. "Fortunately, we came here in time to occupy the position. If we were later, we would have been Squeezed to the side."

"If it weren't for watching the fireworks, there would be no need to go all the way to a party. There are still many hot spring hotels." After yawning, Conan, who was a little bored after waiting, split into two groups. The atmosphere still seemed uneasy. Mouri Kogoro and others, who were too happy, shook their heads, "It turned out that the remote location turned out to be a good condition for committing a crime..."

"Fortunately, everything was safe." Mao Lilan, who was sitting up straight, recalled Nakamichi Kazushi who had given up on himself after seeing the message from the Phantom Thieves of Hearts and revealed his plan in full. The fingers that grabbed the handbag couldn't help but tighten. Some.

Just think that if the Phantom Thieves had not intervened, perhaps when they returned to the hotel after happily watching the gorgeous summer night fireworks, they would be greeted by the tragic death of Yumi Horikoshi...

"It's such a sad thing for lovers who were so close to each other for more than ten years to end like this." In the night sky where the fireworks had not yet come, the moonlight was shrouded in a few dark clouds. This unhappy night made her also sad. I couldn't help but become sentimental, "Is the human heart such a terrible thing?"

"It's such a scary thing, Mr. Lan." Tang Ze's voice sounded from the side and took over her words, "So, don't test human nature easily. Come, your dumplings."

"...You went to change clothes specifically." Seeing the dark gray kimono with patterns on Karasawa's body, Conan felt speechless for a while, "Did you change back to the hotel?"

"That's too far. There is a place to rent kimonos for tourists in the market, and I borrowed their changing room. I bought it for a long time, but I never had a chance to wear it. How about it? Is it good?"

"Did you also bring the hat yourself?"

"Ah, that's not true. I bought this at the market."

"you this……"

"Um?"

"What a strange sense of ritual..."

"Ah, that's how we Kyoto people are."

After chatting casually with Conan and choking the elementary school student who had many questions, Tangze put the lunch box in his hand in the middle of the tablecloth, straightened his clothes, and watched from the corner of his eye as he sneakily moved to the table next to them in the dark. Several people.

Actually, the truth is not that Tangze cares about his image very coquettishly and changes clothes in a ritualistic way while watching fireworks.

I came out specifically for team building, wouldn’t it be a pity not to come and watch the fireworks? Last time at Dorobiga Park, in order not to attract the attention of the red party, when Futo Kyosuke was arrested, several people left in a low-key manner and failed to participate in the fireworks celebration that Karasawa and Amuro Toru showed up. This time No matter what, I have to join in the fun.

Several of his teammates were too conspicuous, so Karasawa took them to change into a few kimonos temporarily, so as not to be caught wearing the same hotel yukata by Mouri Kogoro and the others, and their identities would be questioned.

However, when it came time to buy clothes, Miyano Akemi began to strongly urge Karasawa to buy a suitable outfit so that when taking photos, the photos would look harmonious.

In fact, she discovered that Karasawa had lived in Kyoto for more than ten years without even a kimono of his own. Thinking of his coming-of-age ceremony that no one would have participated in, she couldn't help but feel sad. Karasawa guessed what she meant, and It’s hard to say no.

With his butt half pulled up and resting on the tablecloth, Karasawa slightly blocked Conan's gaze from the side. Looking at his three teammates, taking advantage of the crowd and the dark sky, they quickly spread out the tablecloth beside him and sat down. .

This is a clever distance. Tang Ze can reach out and touch them, but it is not too close to attract the attention of Conan and others, and successfully infiltrate Chen Cang.

"Ah, it's time, the performance has begun!" Mao Lilan showed a bright smile and pointed to the other side of the river.

Several silver snakes suddenly lit up in the completely dark night, climbed up quickly, and when they climbed to the highest point, they exploded into several golden and red fireballs, which illuminated both sides of the river at once, and also made the audience The crowd at Jing shouted excitedly.

"Wow!"

"So amazing, so beautiful!"

Conan, who also couldn't help but wowed for a while, realized that he seemed a little too excited during the shouting. He glanced left and right, cleared his throat in embarrassment, and took out his mobile phone to take pictures of the scenery on the other side as if to hide it.

Tangze looked at the golden fireballs that exploded to the maximum size. At the end of each fire, a circle of small balls exploded in the next moment, like thousands of branches of fire trees. He couldn't help but understand why they had to go to such a special place. Came to watch the festival from a distance.

Without the starry lights of the city at night, the bright fireworks became the only protagonist of the night, making the stars eclipse for a moment.

"Let's take some photos." Looking at Noah, who had a round head protruding from his front, Tang Ze patted it quietly, "It's rare that everyone is here, dressed so formally, and the fireworks are not bad."

Noah raised his head blankly, and saw Tang Ze putting his mobile phone into his two short plush round hands with a smile: "Go ahead, the battery is fully charged for you, you can do it."

After saying this, he thoughtfully turned on the camera for Noah so that his short hands would not be inconvenient to operate.

In reality, it is naturally impossible for Noah to have the same ability as in the game space. He can adjust the camera as he wants, take screenshots as he wants, but don’t forget, he looks like a little puppet only as long as a palm, but he is It is a magnetically levitated creature that can lift several kilograms of weight. If you give him your mobile phone, it will be more than enough to briefly act as a drone.

After staring at Tang Ze in disbelief for a few seconds to make sure he was not joking, Noah remained speechless for a few seconds until a giant firework exploded and Tang Ze urged the phone into his hand. After stuffing it again, he slowly hooked Tangze's phone and floated upward silently.

Noah, whose body is bound to a brooch, can't be too far away from Karasawa, but at this crowded market, being able to rise to a height of two or three meters will give him an excellent and wide field of vision, and he can take pictures of the gorgeous night sky on the other side. Be very clear.

In order to prevent his floating from attracting others' attention, Noah carefully turned off the screen of Tang Ze's mobile phone. After thinking about it, he also turned off the shining breathing light on his body, activated the camera, and took pictures of Tang Ze without any complaints. Ze wanted the photo.

"Is this considered child labor?" He couldn't help but pay some attention to Noah flying in the sky. Xingchuan Hui came closer and condemned in a low voice, "Noah has been busy today. "

"Ah? Where is the squeeze? Isn't flying up and taking pictures a basic skill for reporters?" Tang Ze teased with an innocent face, spreading his hands, "If you are tired, I think today is a rare opportunity to fully mobilize your physical memory. Isn’t he very happy?”

"Huh?" Mao Lilan, who always had a smile on her face, caught some sounds with her ears, turned her head and glanced at Tang Ze, and said curiously, "What's wrong, have you met someone you know?"

"Oh, they asked me to borrow a tissue." Tang Ze said without changing his expression, and turned back, "Why don't you take some photos, Mr. Lan? It's a rare opportunity."

"As long as I have Conan to take pictures for me." Mao Lilan smiled and shook her head, "I'm not very good at taking pictures, and I prefer the pictures recorded by everyone. What about you, why don't you hurry up and take a few pictures?"

Tangze, who was trying his best with his cell phone flying above his head, casually replied: "No, I'll take two pictures for Xiao Ai to see. There's no one else I want to share with. Yuanzi classmates, just have the pictures you took."

"Those who want to share..." Looking at the fireworks making dazzling tracks in the sky, Mao Lilan rolled his eyes, "It doesn't matter, there are still opportunities to watch together."

What is important is not a specific photo, but the feeling of being amazed and moved by this beautiful moment.

Today's fireworks belong to her, her father, Conan, Tang Ze, and those uncles and aunts who have just experienced the ups and downs.

When she wants to share this mood, she will naturally have the opportunity to find their own fireworks.

"Right, Conan?" Mao Lilan narrowed her eyes and smiled at the primary school student who was busy taking pictures with his mobile phone.

"Ah? Ah..." Conan shrank his neck nervously, and he hesitated in response, while his eyes rolled around.

What does Xiaolan mean? Is she suspecting something again?

Could it be that her move of dragging Karasawa to check on Horikoshi Yumi today aroused her suspicion?

Or maybe she just mentioned it casually, without any special meaning...

After looking at Mao Lilan's expression that showed no signs of loneliness for a moment, and then at the fake primary school student who was starting to sweat, Tang Ze exchanged a playful look with his teammates who heard their conversation, suppressed his laughter and sat up straight.

Tangze was not sure if this was the butterfly effect caused by himself, but in short, the current version of Mao Lilan's love brain has indeed eased slightly, and his smart IQ seems to have regained the high ground.

Let's wish Kudo Shinichi good luck.

Don't worry, he will try his best to help move the liquidation site to the cognitive world, so that even those who are killed or disabled can still work on the spot, which is convenient and fast.

Noah, who had been taking pictures of the scenery for a while, slowly turned half a circle. Remembering Tang Ze's instructions, he tried his best to move the direction of the phone and pressed the shutter towards the people sitting on the lawn below.

At this moment, a new wave of fireworks lit up on the other side of the river, and the bright silver flames gradually shot up, forming a wave of light.

At the highest point of the fireworks, at the peak of the waves, a brilliant golden light bloomed, illuminating the entire right half of the crowd, setting off a wave of cheers.

So the photo was frozen at this moment.

To Karasawa's right were the bright fireworks, illuminated by bright fireworks, smiling and applauding Mouri Ran and the still suspicious Conan. Farther away, Mouri Kogoro and his old classmates looked relieved, looking up at the meteor-like fire. .

To his left were the members of the Phantom Thieves who were still in the darkness, wearing different styles of kimonos, with unmistakable smiles on their slightly blurry faces.

And Tangze was half bathed in the bright flames, and half hidden in the dark night, as if sitting on the boundary between light and shadow, calmly looking at Noah who was holding the phone with all his strength, and smiled slyly at the camera. meaning.

"Isn't this a great shot? There's quite a story to it." Noah, who was holding the battery in one hand and threw himself on the street, looked at the photos he took at night with the other hand, and clicked his tongue to check the photos. Photo, "Maybe you are quite suitable to be a reporter. After all, you can really fly."

"Being able to fly, what does it have to do with being a reporter?" Standing on the balcony shared with Karasawa's single room, Miyano Akemi couldn't help but pick up Noah, who was too tired to move, and prepared to use it to charge the battery. What kind of filming equipment is it used as... huh?"

After catching the doll, Miyano Akemi couldn't help but be stunned by the weight. She weighed it again in surprise and said uncertainly: "Can dolls also gain weight?"

"Maybe it's because the cotton has become a little thicker." Tang Ze speculated irresponsibly, "Since the game ended in the afternoon, Noah has felt a lot heavier. Now he weighs almost 300g... It seems that he still has some weight. You need to use your brain more, because children will grow taller easily if they use their brains."

At the same time, on the other side of the hotel, Conan, who did not dare to be alone in the room with Mao Lilan because of his uneasiness, was also sitting on the balcony of the room, looking at the photos of fireworks he had taken at night, looking at it in confusion. A piece of it was covered inexplicably, so I took a picture of the gapped fireworks.

"What is this? A bird?" Conan, who couldn't see clearly what the obstacle was no matter how much he zoomed in or adjusted, made a confused voice.
