The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"We have discovered such a crucial clue. If we don't inform the department, if the local councilman gets wind of something and the operation fails..." Yusuke Sakata, who had calmed down a little, cleared his throat and glanced at the smiling man. Tang Ze.

After letting go of one kind of guard, another kind of murmuring came to mind.

He indeed informed the superiors of the department in order to lure away these children who were gradually approaching the truth.

Since the reason for going to look for Sotaro Goji was sufficient, there was no need to take them with him.

When the target is naturally drawn out, all you need to do is turn your attention to Numabuchi Kiichiro, and everything will come to an end naturally.

However, he was sure that he secretly sent emails and messages to his senior under the pretext of going to the toilet. How did Tangze discover this?

Also, has he discovered all his actions today...

"That's not the reason for you to report directly, really..." Everything is ready now. As long as they find Sotaro Goji, and with the clues they have, the truth is right in front of them. At this time, the feeling of being involved in the operation makes me feel... Hattori Heiji was very unhappy.

"Furthermore, Hattori, it's okay for you to participate. You are an assistant who has been following up on the case. However, if the two of them..." Directly ignoring Conan, who could not be seen with a straight face, Sakata Yusuke directly put his fear His eyes fell on Tang Ze.

Hattori Heiji followed his gaze and was about to retort when the words came to his throat but he couldn't continue.

Indeed, Karasawa has a very embarrassing identity, and this is Osaka, which is closer to Kyoto than Tokyo. It is unpredictable whether there will be participants in the case among them, and whether anyone will be aware of Karasawa's identity. of.

Is Karasawa, who tries to avoid calling himself a detective just because of his identity, really suitable to be involved in a case involving a campaign scandal?

"That's right." Hattori Heiji finally stopped retorting, and Sakata Yusuke smiled, "Let the adults handle the matter. Let's do this Heiji, I'll send the two of them to the police station first. Let other police officers take them to your home to meet their parents, and then the two of us will go to the township council member to continue questioning, how about?"

The past few hours of Karasawa's teasing had made him frightened, and he really didn't want to be in the same room with this weird guy anymore.

He vaguely felt that Tang Ze had actually confirmed his identity and was monitoring his actions throughout the process. However, he was unable to catch any substantive evidence, so he tried to use a cat-catching-a-mouse approach to make him nervous. , revealing flaws.

Things had reached the most critical step and there was no room for error. He didn't want to take the risk and continue.

"...Okay." After glancing at Karasawa, Hattori Heiji pushed his hat helplessly and accepted this compromise method, "As for Councilor Goji, where are the police officers that I contacted before?"

"He still refuses to see guests and is unwilling to cooperate with the investigation." He had already called him, and Yusuke Sakata, the real culprit who caused this situation, answered firmly.

"Stubborn guy." He complained softly. Heiji Hattori walked around to the other side of the car and was about to open the passenger door. When he glanced over, he noticed Karasawa's silent look.

It seems like he wants to communicate quietly with himself...

With this thought in mind, Hattori Heiji smoothly moved forward, opened the rear door on this side, and sat in the back row, pushing aside Conan, who had already sat in his seat safely, blankly to the side.

Soon, Tang Ze also sat up, completely forming a situation of being sandwiched between two sides, crowded in the back seat of the vehicle.

"Hey, hey, you two..." Looking at the empty co-pilot, Conan pushed the two guys close to each other on the left and right, and twitched the corner of his mouth.

"What's wrong?" Not only did he not follow the force to move away, but he hugged Conan's shoulders and shortened the distance. Hattori Heiji asked in a low voice, "Suddenly mysterious, what happened?"

Tangze also followed his example, reaching behind Conan's back, grabbing Conan's other arm, and said softly: "Two questions. First of all, you told me before that you called me here because the case has something to do with me. A similar place. Where exactly is it?"

Hattori Heiji hesitated for a moment and was silent for a moment. He glanced at Yusuke Sakata, who was habitually adjusting the rearview mirror and preparing to start the vehicle. He said in a lower voice than before: "Representative, as we investigated, , is a politician who has been riddled with scandals but has never been found guilty. At the beginning of the investigation, due to the death of Hidetoshi Nagao, I discovered some clues during the process of screening his interpersonal relationships."

"Oh? You want to say that he really has a record of falsely accusing a minor?" Karasawa, who suddenly became interested, looked at Hattori Heiji intently.

"Although the situation is slightly different from yours...but we found a very similar method." At this point, Hattori Heiji's eyes couldn't help but flutter, and he avoided looking at Karasawa, "Just like The circumstances of the investigation of your case are not much different. The person in charge, the prosecutors involved, the records of filing lawsuits, etc. recorded in the file are all very different from the actual situation. At least, the people who signed the document themselves, They all said they were not impressed by the case."

Tangze slightly understood some of the unspeakable implications of his words, and pointed it out directly: "Are there many such cases?"

"There are six or seven cases where this kind of suspicious record has existed since a long time ago. The time Nagao Hidetoshi resigned after taking the blame was just one of them. If the cause of Nagao Hidetoshi's death had not been investigated, it was suspected that he might have had a relationship with his former employer. I won't even notice the disputes." Thinking of the contents of those cases, Hattori Heiji's expression darkened.

"Won't this operation attract the attention of the outside world?" Conan raised his head in surprise, "Anyway, politicians like him have a lot of media attention."

"Yes, so in order to prevent the details of the case from being exposed, they will make every case involve some minors." Hattori Heiji snorted coldly.

Tangze raised his eyebrows and quickly understood what he meant.

Once a minor is involved, whether as a victim or a suspect, the relevant case content must be prohibited from being disclosed in accordance with the law, and this adds a lot of ambiguity and room for manipulation to the case.

Just like Tangze's outrageous case, which was made out of nothing.

However, this means that in order to protect himself and not be involved in various cases, Goji Sotaro will always be surrounded by underage "subordinates" like Nagao Hidetoshi who can take the blame for him.

"That's it...it's indeed a very useful method." Nodding, Tang Ze narrowed his eyes, "I think there must be some precedent for them to discover that this method is so useful and easy to use. To the point where such path dependence arises…”

He didn't have any additional thoughts, such as that the Osaka police force had been completely infiltrated by the organization.

With the help of this additional information, Karasawa can basically confirm that Sotaro Goji has little to do with the organization.

The similarity between his case and this case is more similar to that it was done by familiar police personnel who accepted this "commission" from the organization.

How much of this is related to the organization, and how much is a shady secret in the police industry. Only the parties involved know it, but since they are so skilled, there must be a reason.

"Well, let me think about it." Karasawa thought and said slowly, "The previous deceased, Ms. Sumie Okazaki, if I remember correctly, she was 39 years old, right?"

"Then 20 years ago, when the coach died, she should have been exactly 19 years old." Conan's face darkened after hearing this, and he understood the hidden meaning of Tangze's words.

This situation may have lasted for 20 years, so long that it may have penetrated into every corner of the camera obscura.

"...Damn it." Hattori Heiji gritted his teeth.

The three people in the back row were silent for a moment. Yusuke Sakata, who had already driven the car onto the main road, looked in the rearview mirror and saw two high school students, one on each side, holding his thin body as if comforting the child in the middle. Completely between two people, I don't know why.

What is this? Is it something new among students? Or is it that the primary school student finally couldn't keep up and the two of them were trying to comfort him...

Not only Tangze was strange, but all of these children were also strange.

Sakata Yusuke was confused for a while, and he wanted to directly test the situation, but seeing that the three of them had a unique atmosphere, he felt uncomfortable saying anything casually.

After looking at them a few more times to confirm that they did not make any other moves, Sakata Yusuke, who was confused, had to give up, look ahead, and continue driving seriously.

His father taught him since he was a child that it is better to pay attention to traffic safety and not to be distracted.

Seeing that Sakata Yusuke diverted his attention and no longer paid attention to their movements, Karasawa spoke again.

This time, his volume was really lowered.

"The second thing."

"Huh?" Hattori Heiji, who was still immersed in the atmosphere just now, was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that Karasawa was talking about "two things" at the beginning, and turned his head to look at him again.

"Well, you should adjust your emotions first, control your expression, and don't show any surprise."

Karasawa instructed like this, and the hand on Conan's other side moved up very naturally, and he covered Conan's mouth prejudgmently to avoid any direct emotional reaction from the bad acting kid, and to confirm that Hattori Heiji was indeed focused. He got up and nodded.

Tang Ze cleared his throat in anticipation.

Although this is also part of the plan...

But one thing said, another said, he didn't believe that someone didn't want to do it like this!

Failure to do so only means that the quality is acceptable, but it does not mean that you do not want to say so!

This is very immoral, but it’s really happy, isn’t it?

"The murderer is Sakata Yusuke." Without hesitation, the evil spoiler directly marked the answer with a red pen.

————

"Okay, although your plan sounds inexplicable, but...it's up to you." Putting the device back in the box, Curaçao put his head in a trance on his toes and muttered something to himself. Numabuchi Kiichiro kicked the wall to the base.

After dealing with the target that was already a mess, Curacao arranged his clothes, and then turned to look at Goro Akechi, who was always following behind.

Then he was surprised to see that the other party was putting his fist to his lips to hide the chuckle at the corner of his mouth.

…Didn’t she just follow the procedure and simply beat and forced a confession from Numagachi Kiichiro, and then used a device to clear the other person’s consciousness? What's so funny?

And he laughed out loud when he saw this scene. There is really nothing wrong with this guy, right?

Oh, no, although she has not seen it with her own eyes, according to the records in the file, it seems that he does have some strange hobbies for torture and torture...

Tsk, even if a cooperative relationship is reached, I still can’t help but feel...

Forget it, facing an existence like the organization, only this kind of lunatic can defeat so many crazy lunatics and reach the final victory.

Cursing with mixed emotions for a while, Curacao tried hard to resist the urge to pat his forehead and stretched out his hand.

After coming back to his senses, Xingchuan Hui did not forget what he should do.

What else could he laugh at? Of course, it would be to laugh at Tang Ze's shameless behavior of ruthlessly spoiling the story.

Although he also understood that this was done to prevent Sakata Yusuke from being defeated and to try to control the situation, but how to put it, directly revealing the truth of the case in front of two detectives who were still actively using their brains was still an unearned and funny pleasure.

Just listening to Conan's helpless and surprised gasps in the headphones, which was obviously covered and unable to speak, made Hoshikawa Teru feel that it was worth the price of admission.

There is a price to pay for finding things for them to do all day long. Detective and leader are your doom.

Xingchuan Hui, who was in an unusually relaxed mood, smiled and handed the things he had prepared in advance to Curaçao: "Here, tranquilizer bullets. Your marksmanship should be up to standard, right?"

Even an old man of Pisk's age can accurately hit a 5cm bullseye from ten meters away in the dark. There is reason to believe that marksmanship should be part of the basic quality education for Codename members.

Miss Haihara Ai also said personally that she can also shoot.

"Of course." Curacao frowned and took the ammunition box from his hand unceremoniously.

Then he was hit by something heavy and almost missed his catch.

"...How many rounds have you prepared!?"

There is no need to open the lid of the box. Just by weighing the box body, Curacao can imagine how full it is in this box that makes no sound of collision.

Xingchuan Hui gloated and expressed his helplessness, looking at her slightly twitching and slightly distorted face with some sympathy.

Just blame the restless detectives!

Who told that guy Hattori Heiji to dream that everyone was shot by a gunman?

Then, inexplicably, Tang Ze still trusted his intuition very much, thinking that something was bound to happen this time, so he went around and around to create such a scene.

Hoshikawa Hui had no choice but to follow Karasawa's orders and consider the amount of ammunition prepared with the maximum number of people.

But it's not a big problem. His mission here is finally, finally coming to an end.

After completing the final preparations, he could Shi Shiran and leave, allowing Tang Ze to continue the rest of the work and lead the others over directly.

In this way, this mission is considered complete.

So facing Curaçao's shocked look, he could only shrug and said sympathetically: "Just in case, right?"

"I can't understand perverted thoughts at all." - Such a line was clearly written in Curacao's eyes.

"Cough." Xingchuan Hui, who was a little out of breath, coughed lightly again. He first waved his hand to disperse some of the turbid and dirty air in front of him, and then showed an unusually cheerful smile as he was about to get off work. " So, can I trouble you...?"

Curacao looked at the expression on his face, felt an uncontrollable chill, turned around and strode away.

As she walked, she added covertly: "Well, I'll come back later."

Xingchuan Hui shook his head, feeling a little tired when he thought that what he said next would have to be finished and fall into Tangze's ears.

Obviously waiting for the matter over there to be settled, Tang Ze still has time to do it on his own. This time, he has to carry out the task on both sides at the same time. If it wasn't to punish him, he wouldn't believe it!

Suspended by the sigh of being about to get off work, Hoshikawa Teru squatted down firmly and got in front of Numabuchi Kiichiro.

Before speaking, he made a final struggle: "Noah, Noah, can you hang up the phone for a while?"

"No."

Karasawa, who was still busy muttering with the detective, obviously had no time to pay attention to him, but Noah's voice came happily: "The leader said, the information is very important, and you can't hang up for a second."

"Okay, okay..." Taking a breath, Hoshikawa Teru resignedly began to chant, "Hey, are you there, Numagachi Kiichiro, hello, Kumeldai Organization, hello to you. Hello, are you there? …”

Curacao, who was walking outside, paused, and his pace suddenly became faster.

Goro Akechi, there is definitely something wrong with this guy!
