The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Do you suspect there are any special circumstances surrounding the death of the deceased?"

"Although it does explain his situation that he was in a panic because he misremembered the location of the transaction, so he ran a red light and crossed the road, and finally died under the wheel, and it is also consistent with his behavior before his death... But I always Something doesn’t feel right.”

"What a coincidence?"

"Yeah, what a coincidence..." Holding the same newspaper as Mouri Kogoro's hand, Conan calmly stared at Baishou Shuhei's face on the newspaper.

After losing his proud smile, the stern-faced Baishou Shuhei's face was full of traces of time. The loose skin and sagging texture made his face look particularly vicious and terrifying.

A guy with such an appearance can climb to his current position step by step through the packaging of the election team. Public opinion is really easy to be manipulated and played with.

Goro Akechi's face flashed before his eyes, Conan exhaled and continued walking towards his home.

The appearance of the world and the inner reality are always misaligned, and it is extremely difficult to look directly at the truth and soul.

"There is indeed something fishy. Although we noticed this guy because of the situation on Detective Mori's side, after investigation, we believe that there may be other people behind it." Karasawa stood in front of Morofu Jingguang. Behind you, calmly look at the content on the other person's computer screen.

Toru Amuro knew that Karasawa was the joker, and Karasawa knew that he knew that he was the joker. This was no longer a matter of hinting or not, it was basically an open secret.

But out of a strange competitiveness and subtle embarrassment, neither of them pointed this out directly. Therefore, even if Toru Amuro really needed to contact the Phantom Thieves to exchange information, it was absolutely impossible to directly send the content to Karasawa. .

The two of them were originally awkward here, but now with the appearance of Zhu Fu Jingguang, this embarrassing situation has been greatly alleviated.

Therefore, when the Zero Team thoroughly investigated the various black box methods used by Baishou Shuhei in the election, some Toru Amuro felt suspicious and wanted to get answers. Information about whether or not he and the Phantom Thieves were exchanged were sent to Morofuku Kagemitsu's mailbox. among.

"Does it have something to do with the organization? Or does it have something to do with cognitive science?" He was well prepared when he made this call, but when he heard the other party's words with such certainty, Conan still couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows.

To say that the power of the organization has a huge impact, they have indeed penetrated so many things that no matter what they investigate, it is inevitable to smell a bit of their rotten smell in the corners.

But to say that they are really important, a group of conspirators hiding in the dark and not knowing what they are planning do not seem to have irresistible power.

It is like a national organization in another sense. Talking about the power of individuals, it is so loose, redundant, bloated and ridiculous. However, if you really want to uproot it, these scattered Things have an inherent solid structure, forming a shadow that never seems to dissipate.

And this is the force that he, and the Phantom Thieves, choose to fight against.

Even if the actual person in charge of that organization is found, can such a huge thing be eradicated by eradicating his personal existence? Conan wasn't so sure anymore.

"Maybe, there are all of them." Looking at the keywords marked by Zhu Fu Jingguang on the screen, Tang Ze squinted his eyes.

According to the information given by Amuro Toru, Baishou Shuhei himself is not deeply involved in the chain of the organization, or it has not yet developed to that extent.

Maybe even now, Baisho Zhouhei thinks that he has found a small gang or a group that does underworld work, and has just completed a temporary cooperative relationship with them.

Maybe after he really reaches a key position with the help of these underhanded means, he will become like Shigehiko Tonkou, and become the nourishment tightly bound by the organization's spider web.

In short, at this stage, his biggest connection with the organization is that he used certain channels of the organization to sell and transfer money and property with sensitive sources, and reached a preliminary relationship of interest.

From this perspective alone, it is still impossible to explain the sudden death of the investigative reporter who was trying to blackmail him this time. However, Team Zero soon discovered a guy who was noted as a "psychiatrist" in Beishou Shuhei's contact list.

After investigation, they found that Baishou Shuhei and his team did not know the specific situation of this psychiatrist. His name, age, and even gender were all unknown.

They just know that this guy is like a mercenary. As long as they give a satisfactory price and accept his conditions, he will do a lot of dirty work without anyone noticing.

As for why this person used the code name of a psychiatrist, they are even more unclear if they are just renting services.

Toru Amuro, who had been baptized many times, felt his temples jump when he saw the word psychiatrist, so this message was also included in the email as the focus.

"Both of them?" Conan was secretly surprised, "You mean, Councilor Baisho, a guy who was destined to be promoted to a key department position..."

"Yes, he is a dirty and unscrupulous guy. No one knows how many people like him there are." Tang Ze sighed, "We will continue to investigate the specific situation. You should also be careful about your own safety. Protect your secret. Once you get to that point, although I can definitely protect your safety, once you step into this world, you can never go back."

After hanging up the phone, Conan felt a little heavy. He turned to Kudo Yusaku's mailbox and quickly explained the situation to his father. He walked towards the 2-chome without any ease.

He walked past the bus stop. On the billboard not far away, the poster for the exhibition of the award-winning works of this art award glowed, making the negative-style Mount Fuji painted in the center reflect a unique silhouette.

Kitagawa Yusuke's melancholy and thin handsome face is also printed on the poster. It is obvious that the young and talented painter has a pretty boy-like face that is not inferior to any artist, and it has become one of the selling points.

Not far from the billboard, the huge slogan of Shuhei Baisho that was originally printed was splashed with red paint and a huge cross was drawn on it. It was even labeled as Phantom Thieves by those who didn't take it too seriously to watch the excitement. logo.

Further away, the variety show that Goro Akechi participated in was about to be broadcast. On the TV screen in the window of the electronics store, the bright smiles of Goro Akechi, large and small, were also integrated into the background of the entire city.

Truth and falsehood are intertwined, lies and truth go hand in hand. A detective who can see through it all can only feel ridiculous and sigh when standing in front of this huge ukiyo-e.

If Kitagawa Yusuke's special ability is really related to his paintings, he can paint such a unique painting, and what kind of world can the Phantom Thieves who can stand with him see?

————

"Sketching from life, what else could it be? Of course it is life drawing."

If you were to ask Karasawa himself, his answer would be something like this.

"Oh my God..." Hoshikawa Hui, who covered his eyes with both hands, fell to the ground without any strength, looking up at the silk-colored sky, his expression numb, "Leader, can you learn a little faster? Keep looking like this. I'm almost blind."

"Do you think I'm not blind?" Looking numbly at the print-style Mount Fuji in front of him, Karasawa sighed deeply, "I've really taken the Kisaragi Peak Water. Is there really only Mount Fuji in his world?"

"It's not impossible to only have Mount Fuji, but there's no need to have so many Mount Fujis..." Miyano Akemi, who was exhausted from climbing the mountain, sat on her skirt and couldn't help but complain.

Getting close to Kisaragi Hosui and taking control of his palace was the fundamental reason why Karasawa took out Kitagawa Yusuke's identity and increased his efforts.

Regarding this palace master, the saying with high emotional intelligence is that Ruyue Fengshui is an extremely extreme artist on all levels, including his mental state and life history.

Before Kitagawa Yusuke squeezed himself into his student list, Kisaragi Hosui's palace was completely inaccessible.

Although the location is easy to determine, it is Kisaragi Hosui's house, and the destination is also easy to determine. The old man who devoted his entire life to painting did not think of anywhere except Mount Fuji.

However, if you just enter like this, all you can see in his palace are layers of various painting styles and Mount Fuji from various perspectives. The Phantom Thieves who entered the door can only stand at the Kisaragi Peak Suijia's position, looking at Mount Fuji. The direction stared blankly.

Thinking about it, in Kisaragi Fengshui's mind, if it is not really related to the art he pursues, he is definitely not qualified to get close to his Mount Fuji. It would be nice to let you take a look.

However, becoming his disciple and learning from him does not mean that you will be able to go in and out of his hall to kill several times.

Because when you come in, there are too many mountains.

Karasawa, who was disguised as Kitagawa Yusuke, reluctantly put down his brush, placed the painting in his hand on the frame made of light in front of him, watched the painting automatically embedded in it, and shook his sore arm.

"Recently, Teacher Kisaragi Fengshui always praises my great progress in my skills. I said it's all thanks to the teacher's good teaching. He thought I was complimenting him." After wiping his sweat and ignoring the paint on his cheeks, Tangze looked at The shadow made of ink began to appear again on the passage ahead, saying sadly, "He doesn't understand, he is too good at teaching students."

At the beginning, the first draft of the entry that Karasawa gave Kidd to edit was exactly one of the forms of Mount Fuji that Karasawa saw in the temple of Kisaragi Peaksui.

Karasawa thought, if there is such a side of Mount Fuji in your mind, then I will create according to the outline in your mind. How can I still control you?

Now it seems that we are really sure about it, but the problem is that we are too sure about it.

The students who chose to become Kisaragi Fengshui did successfully obtain the qualifications to enter the palace, but it was also destined that Tangze could only pass every level of the palace as a student.

To put it simply, it means painting, painting Mount Fuji, and painting all kinds of Mount Fuji.

As mentioned before, Karasawa's painting skills are at the elementary level that Kidd rewarded, and they are based on the master Kidd's concept of painting level as a reference. In addition, Kidd considers Karasawa's next decision on this. The continuous performance of identity adds a sufficient amount of youthfulness and immaturity to the entries.

Therefore, after Karasawa really studied several times with Kisaragi Hosui as Kitagawa Yusuke, the other party did not question the gap between Karasawa's level and the entries.

Firstly, the difference is not very big, and secondly, it is normal for there to be a gap. The difference between the proud work that has been carefully drawn for several months or more and the daily practice is the state that students should have. Genius students are also students. .

If you are a student, you must learn, and the method of learning is boring and persistent practice, communication during practice, and progress through guidance.

Generally speaking, Kisaragi Fengshui is still very satisfied with this student Yun. The price is that Karasawa really made him vomit when he painted Mount Fuji in the hall.

"I think Kisaragi Hosui's mentality has started to break down a bit recently." The burly miko Shimabukuro Kimie, who has been climbing mountains all day long and has excellent physical strength, didn't realize how strenuous it was to climb Mount Fuji every day, and she was still calmly Analysis, "When he first came here, although there were many Mount Fujis in his palace, they were not so endless, but now..."

The shadows in the Ruzuki Peak Water Palace are mainly humanoid monsters made of ink, which is not surprising.

However, as they took time to climb Mount Fuji every day, they could clearly feel that the intensity of the shadow was increasing.

The obsession of the master of the palace is being challenged like never before. Even Kitagawa Yusuke's status as a student cannot dispel much of the other party's vigilance.

She stood on tiptoes and counted for a while, then quickly gave up this useless plan and shook her head.

She couldn't count them at all. There were more shadowy things behind the layers of clouds and mist. She was not optimistic enough to think that those were the decorative backgrounds prepared by Ruyue Fengshui for uninvited guests like them.

"It's not that I can't understand it. The twin towers in Nishitama City are about to be completed." Asai Narumi looked at the mountains in front of him with pity, and he could sympathize a little with Kozuki Fengshui.

Unlike the paranoid and obsessive-compulsive Moritani Teiji, Kisaragi Hosui's fanaticism is restrained and determined. Considering that all the old man wants in his life is to pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and see Mount Fuji leisurely, his harmfulness is much lower than that of Moritani Teiji. two.

But it just so happens that some people do construction planning without considering the mood of the residents.

Ruyue Fengshui's life-long pursuit has actually been basically realized. He was originally going to retire leisurely and continue to climb the peak of art. However, this eye-catching high-rise building broke his peaceful life.

It's like the publicity point is a building with good lighting. After you have spent all your money and took out a mortgage to buy it, you haven't been comfortable for a few years. I will take a skyscraper for you and cover you from the sun. Who will be the owner? All have high blood pressure.

The one who planned all of this was his incompetent student. Kisaragi Hosui's hatred for Mio Tokiwa could not be offset by simply preparing a room with a good view as compensation.

"His mood is about to reach the limit. I feel that if we don't solve this problem first, it won't be enough to just draw like crazy here." Zhufu Jingguang, holding a sniper rifle, was paying attention to his teammates who were entering the battle ahead. , did a good job of covering up, while distractedly communicating with Asai Narumi.

"How to solve it? We can't clean up the door for Moriya Teiji. Let's blow up the Twin Towers first...well, it's not impossible." Asai Narumi shook his head and gave a slightly horrifying answer.

"Well, it doesn't have to be so extreme..." Zhufu Jingguang, who was suddenly stuck, was speechless for a moment before he managed to catch the words.

Well, I have to say that although his misjudgment of the situation when he first opened his eyes was a misunderstanding, Zhu Fu Jingguang still had the illusion that he was still in the organization from time to time.

In addition to the certain sense of déjà vu and worry brought about by the faces of Karasawa and Miyano sisters, the feeling of being suddenly reminded that his teammates were all criminals who could be tortured or handcuffed still made him feel delicate.

"No, we don't need to do it." Noah's clear voice sounded around them, and the figure of the small robot suddenly appeared next to them, "That building probably won't survive for long."

"Eh? What new news do you have?" Naomi Asai, who knew that Noah was always monitoring the information of relevant people, drew his bow and arrow, and was ready to assist at any time. At the same time, he became curious, "Tokyo's municipal planning is finally ready to play a role. Did it work?”

We will not discuss the stimulation of Kisaragi Peak Water by this building, but only discuss the Twin Towers themselves. Asai Narumi also thinks they are quite bad.

Once a super-tall building such as a skyscraper reaches a certain height, subsequent construction, maintenance, and demolition will have serious marginal effects, the cost will gradually increase, and many safety risks will be created.

These disadvantages do not require knowledge, and only depend on budget and risk. Everyone can realize this. However, when choosing to build a super high-rise skyscraper, the purpose of the builder is not to go for functionality, but to create wonders and create new things. landmarks, trying to catch the eye.

The direct result of this original intention of construction is that skyscrapers are destined to be built higher and higher, and crazy comparisons are made. The records of the city's first, the country's first, and the world's first are constantly being refreshed.

This twin skyscraper in Nishitama City is one of the typical representatives. Now that the building has just been completed, all the interior decoration work has not been officially completed. The slogan "The place closest to heaven" has already been printed.

To judge by Narumi Asai, this thing is neither beautiful nor practical. Once a fire or explosion occurs, all firefighting methods at that height will be in vain. It is simply designed for accidents.

"No, I saw the news from the bosses of Gin and Leader." Noah bent his eyes and showed a childlike and cute, but slightly hair-raising smile, "Someone used the server in that building to try to escape. If you leak the organization’s information, I guess it will be blown up.”

Zhu Fu Jingguang's hand holding the handle couldn't help but want to tremble, but he relied on his excellent qualities as a sniper for many years to maintain his stability.

Once again, when he was in the Phantom Thieves, he really felt like he was still working as an undercover agent in the organization, which was too exciting.
