The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"The situation is bad..."

Huang Yi, who was unwilling to give up, came back, took out the cigarette case heavily, looked at the minors at the table, and then reluctantly put the cigarette back.

"The trouble has been thoroughly investigated by the police..." Naoko Kuroda glanced at Detective Hakuba, who was calmly waiting on the eagle, and turned to look at the sad face of Araki, "Now you can talk about this time Is this the purpose of the party?”

"It's just like what the detective just said. A few months ago, after Harui Fuden passed away during the performance, Shadow Mage said it was our responsibility." Huang Yi breathed out and stopped covering up, " During the discussion half a year ago, the atmosphere was actually very lively. Everyone was happily discussing his past escape shows, but there were differences on whether he still had hope to perform again..."

"Oh, it was that time." Naoko Kuroda nodded, frowning and thinking, "There have been discussions for many days about whether he can maintain the level of the past. Some people say that his skills have not deteriorated, but after all As I get older, it is too difficult to reproduce such operations. Some people think that Harui Fengden has been performing for a lifetime, and even if he is no longer at his peak, it is still possible to concentrate on completing a performance..."

Speaking of this, she recalled the indignant words of Shadow Mage, and her face didn't look good.

This person would so categorically believe that it is the responsibility of their group, and even go so far as to kill people for it. It is very possible that Harujing Fengden suddenly decided to perform this matter again, which is somewhat related to this discussion half a year ago. relation.

"It seems that you understand my thoughts." Huang Yi shook his head heavily, with a solemn and uneasy look on his face, "I was very concerned about his statement before, so I discussed it with Mr. Nishiyama and checked it out. People who participated in the discussion half a year ago want to see if anyone suspected of Mr. Harui is involved, but you also know that it is difficult to find out whether it is the person himself or someone who is discussing it just by relying on the online account. The records were shown to him..."

"Is the purpose of your gathering this time just to clarify this matter?" Suzuki Sonoko held her chin in thought and said in confusion, "But..."

"But when we discussed this matter half a year ago, the 'Shadow Mage' hadn't joined the group yet, right?" Toru Amuro took over her words smoothly to avoid unnecessary confusion about his identity, "How did he know about it half a year ago?" It’s a matter of fact. Is he a real friend or relative of Mr. Harujing Fengden?”

Suzuki Sonoko looked at him in surprise.

Of course she knew about this herself, but she had not communicated with Amuro in advance, so Amuro's words were simply based on his own guessing or investigation.

"No wonder he would open a detective agency." Suzuki Sonoko whispered to Mao Lilan, "Maybe when Akechi-kun completed the commission, a lot of the information Mr. Amuro collected for him..."

Tangze, who was distractedly observing the White Horse Detective, cast an approving look at her.

Don't say it yet, don't say it yet...

Arayoshi, who had no doubt about him, nodded and confirmed Amuro Toru's statement: "It's really strange, that's why I wanted to hold a party. On the one hand, it's really time to have some offline activities. On the other hand, I Both I and Mr. Nishiyama felt that only by calling everyone to the scene could we confirm the situation and clear up all the misunderstandings..."

After patting his forehead, Aragi finally showed a tired and slightly sad expression.

Xishanwu, the escape king who manages the group, has known him as netizens for many years. This group occupies a large proportion in his life. Although they are just netizens who have never met each other across the Internet, They are also friends who have been together for a long time.

The offline gathering held to resolve misunderstandings seemed to have turned out to be a life-threatening talisman for friends, and also led to danger to other innocent netizens. Araki's self-blame was palpable.

The people at the table sighed, and the atmosphere was heavy. Tang Ze, who was not emotionally carried away at all, touched his chin and said in deep thought: "But, even if you find out who the Shadow Mage is, what will happen? What if he If his statement is true, then although his expression is a bit extreme, there is no big loophole in his logic."

It was indeed because of their discussion that Harui Fuden decided to try the escape show again, and then died during the performance.

This was certainly due to his own imprudence, and the magician should indeed bear responsibility for the risks of his performance. However, it is also reasonable for the family to be angry at their online discussion group.

"It won't be a big deal." Detective White Horse put Watson back on his shoulder and told the truth calmly, "Because everyone just moved their fingers and typed some words in front of the computer and mobile phone, and they didn't even see him. , How could he be related to the death of a magician he had never met? This is the horror of the Internet."

"You..." Huang Yi frowned, "I didn't mean that. I just wanted to say that if everything is really like this, then we should make a formal statement and apology, and we should also restrain such behavior in the future. discuss……"

Baima smiled and reached out to wipe away the water stains on the eagle's beak: "Now is no longer an era where rules can control people's hearts. If there were less violence on the Internet, those wishing websites, curse websites, heart-wrenching websites, etc. Why are things like monster thieves so popular? You'd better make plans in advance, Mr. Huang."

Huang Yi was choked by his words, but thinking of Harujing Fengden who died tragically in the water tank, he really had nothing to say.

He had some vague speculations that he did not say out loud, but as things have developed so far, it is basically certain that the Shadow Mage's emotions will develop to the point where he kills people in anger. I am afraid it is inseparable from the unfriendly comments about Harujing Fengden in the group. of.

The Escape King is not a bad person, but his speaking style is indeed a bit mean, and he is also a very realistic and cold guy in his behavior. If the Shadow Mage was hurt by the other party's words, so...

"I'm going to smoke a cigarette." Huang Yi couldn't help it anymore, grabbed the cigarette case, stood up and left the living room in a bit of embarrassment.

After he left, the atmosphere among others became even more silent.

Detective Hakuba took his eyes away from Aragori, who was walking away hastily, and began to look at the other people at the table.

All the group members around the table showed more or less nervousness and depression, and everyone's body language changed in some way.

"...I, I'm going to boil the bath water." Tanaka Takaki released her tightly squeezed hands, hid the palms with several nail marks, and also stood up and left, "Anyway, the police's Support can’t come until tomorrow morning, right?”

She forced a smile and walked towards the bathroom.

"Miss Tanaka is very responsible, but it seems that there is no need to continue with my mission." Naoko Kuroda shook her head, "No one needs to perform anymore, right?"

Kuroba Kaito curled his lips, lowered his head, and said nothing.

Hamano Toshiya looked around nervously, and after realizing that everyone's focus was not on him, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he couldn't help but feel sincerely happy when he thought that he didn't have to write down his disgusting comments.

Just worrying about Shadow Mage's problems was already stressful, and he didn't want to make his already precarious mental state worse.

"Ahem, let me go and help." Knowing that the occasion was not appropriate, he was embarrassed to show his emotions, so he had to clear his throat, think for a while, and walked in the direction of Aragi Norori.

Originally, they had a cocktail party to attend after the meal. During the performance at the banquet, others could taste wine, eat some side dishes, and spend a pleasant and leisurely night, so Huang Yi prepared drinks for them. .

The situation is different now, but the reception may continue, and there will always be someone who needs something to drink to calm down, so he plans to catch up with Ara Yoshinori and inquire about the shadow mage. How much do they know.

After all, right, the disappeared Pani was also a famous intersex person in the group...

These serious people related to the party left one by one. Bai Ma Tan's eyes moved around the remaining people at the table, and stopped at Tang Ze again.

Tangze, who was obviously the target of his suspicion, was not afraid and responded to his gaze with a calm smile.

"I think these people have said some inappropriate things to some extent, so they still need to adjust their mood." Tang Ze said casually in an outsider's tone, "What about you, Mr. White Horse? You said you came here to find Kaitou Kidd. Where did you get the news? Now, what are your gains?"

If Kaito Kuroba were to ask this question himself, Takuki Doi's name, which could not withstand scrutiny, would immediately attract the attention of Detective Hakuba. Karasawa, who still retained some allyship, chose to ask on his behalf. This sentence.

"Oh, I've actually been paying attention to this group for a while. It's a coincidence." Bai Ma Tan adjusted his sitting posture, assumed a calm posture, and crossed his legs, "I don't know if it's a coincidence or something. In the past two months, Kaito Kidd, who had always focused on gems and artworks, seemed to have suddenly become interested in magicians. I traced the traces of his activities in Japan and found that he had used various channels to take away several people. It’s a common prop for deceased magicians and it’s an unusual situation.”

"Dead magician, for example?" Karasawa raised his eyebrows and controlled his gaze from drifting in the direction of the Doi Tucker tree.

This guy Kuroba Kaito is quietly causing trouble again, so the so-called investigation surrounding X Alloy he mentioned before, could this be where the raw materials came from, right?

Forget it about the time with Kujiu Yuanyasu. Tangze was involved that time and was aware of the situation. After that, this man went to sell anything...

"For example, Yasushi Kujiumoto, Toichi Kuroba, Yoshiro Kinoshita..." Detective Hakuba counted a few names casually, "How should I put it, I always thought that Kaitou Kid might really work in magic-related industries, or he really He is a magician, or he has made props for magicians. In short, his technique has strong traces of magic performance, and it is quite professional and solid. "

"Is that why you investigated this group?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows, now he was really curious.

He was able to discover Kuroba Kaito's identity and was able to rush to this scene to join in the fun because he was a spoiler agent. The Hakuba Detective was able to raid here, so he was really quite capable.

Detective Baima shrugged and did not hesitate to share his investigation track: "Absolutely. I investigated some trends in the industry and found that although this group is not well-known, it has existed for a long time and has many professionals. Magicians will also be active here, and its influence is greater than imagined. I noticed this gathering..."

"And then it was discovered that one of the participants was murdered?" Toru Amuro, with his hands crossed on his chin, interjected coldly.

His tone was cold, and it could be heard that he didn't like White Horse Detective's style of doing things.

Tang Ze can completely understand.

Although it is true that he often plays roles such as detectives, Toru Amuro's self-perception is always that of a policeman, and the kind of policeman who is committed to protecting world peace.

The detectives he will like must be like Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji. They are eager for justice and do not ask for anything in return. They can solve some of the more difficult problems for the police in criminal matters and can successfully save a lot of investigation time. Apart from making the police look a little stupid, everything about the police force is a good thing.

As for a detective like Detective White Horse, whose focus is not on the murder case at all, but on Kaito Kidd, it seems like a waste of rice in his eyes.

Not to mention, this is under the premise of using police resources.

"Yes." Detective Hakuba also focused some of his attention on Toru Amuro, and after visually measuring his height, he returned his attention. "With the appearance of a victim, the significance of this party suddenly became unusual. Moreover, I made another discovery."

His eyes moved from Karasawa to Suzuki Sonoko, and then glanced at Doi Takuki, who was pretending to be confused, and then slowly finished the following content: "I found that more than one common ID in this group is a fake one." The information left behind does not match the real address. The original owners of those commonly used IDs were all serious magicians, including Harujing Fuden, who died a few months ago. At this point, I have one. guess……"

The white horse detective put his hands on the table, no longer hiding it, crossed the table and leaned towards Karasawa: "Kaitou Kidd, maybe like the organizer of the party, he has the idea of ​​​​knowing the original owners of these IDs. Got in here."

"Are you doubting me?" Tang Ze looked at him without hesitation, "Do you doubt that I am Kaitou Kidd?"

"Of course I am doubting you. However, I will not give up my doubts about other people just because I doubt you." Detective Bai Ma nodded generously, "You shouldn't be here, you are very suspicious. But I think, It's more likely that Kaitou Kidd himself has been in this group for a while, and he might be hiding among those guys with online names. But for now, I'm most suspicious of you."

Karasawa tilted his head, controlling every muscle on his face to prevent his micro-expressions from revealing any flaws, as if he really didn't know the identity of Doi Takesuki: "Then you are too confident, Mr. Hakuba, if I am really Kaitou Kidd, wouldn't you be just trying to scare the enemy? And, with all due respect, I am still a high school student, and I was not even born when Kaitou Kidd was active."

As he spoke, Tangze reached out and pulled off his cheek, showing off his undisguised face.

"Don't worry, although my goal is to capture Kaitou Kidd, what I'm pursuing is a fair and just duel. If I'm worried about alerting someone, I shouldn't show up at all." White Horse leaned forward and lowered himself even further. It seemed that he wanted to increase his sense of oppression, "As for age... Although I don't know the reason, I have a rough profile of Kaitou Kidd who is currently active."

He said, holding up a finger.

"I guess that Kaitou Kid is a Japanese male, or at least one of his native languages ​​is Japanese. He is most likely 15-18 years old, no more than 25 years old. He has excellent appearance, a good life, and no lack of material conditions. . I have lived alone away from my parents for more than 5 years, so although I am not very old, I am very independent..."

He tilted his head, glanced at Toru Amuro again, who had a playful expression, as if he was watching your performance, and added.

"The maximum height shall not exceed 180 centimeters."

Kuroba Kaito was just short of having his ID number read out: "..."

When did White Horse Detective do all these investigations?

Thinking of this, he was slightly sweating and glared at Tang Ze with resentment.

It's all your fault. Why did you take out Akechi Goro's detective market when you have nothing to do? They were all ignited by Baima Tanjuan, and a fire burned him.

Moreover, thinking about that guy Kudo, and then thinking about Karasawa who openly appeared in front of him as a joker, Kuroba Kaito suddenly felt like he was the gatekeeper of some kind of detective novice village.

Can't you detectives catch some other strange thieves? He's the only Phantom Thief left in Japan, right? If you have the guts to open my box, how about you peel off the layered weird thing in front of you?

Tang Ze, who was innocently shot many times: "..."
