The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"It's actually because of this reason..."

Huang Yi murmured to himself, the expression on his face could not hide his frustration.

Although the main manager of the group is Xishanwu who is lying in the ICU, he can take the initiative to provide his own villa for free for netizens to use for gatherings. He even hired special helpers for this and spent time preparing food and drinks. , it is not difficult to see that the veteran Aragoshi Norori also undertakes certain group management work.

Nowadays, Tanaka Takahisa has personally admitted that his murderous intention originated from the group discussion, and Harui Fuden's unexpected comeback is also the same. His mood is extremely complicated.

"I always feel that we should indeed bear some responsibility for this." He shook his head, his expression inexplicably depressed.

Having been active in this group for so many years, this online discussion group has become a part of his life. Now that such a serious conflict has occurred, he is in a very low mood.

This is not what he envisioned the development of the group to be like.

"Okay, Mr. Ara, you still like to find problems on yourself." Naoko Kuroda came back and patted him hard on the back, "Although there are indeed a lot of unpleasantness, nothing irreparable has really happened. , isn’t this good?”

Harujing Fengden, the deceitful boy in the past, is the one who really can't come back.

He, like the rest of them, had been friends online for a long time.

She sighed in her heart and looked at Tanaka Takahisa, who was surrounded by Hakuba Tan and Amuro Toru, but she did not say these sad words.

No wonder everyone assumes that the image of the deceitful boy is more like an old man. When they saw Tanaka, they even lamented how well she disguised herself. It turns out that behind that name, there really once sat a kind old man...

"No one else in the group knows his true identity..." Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment, feeling a little disappointed, "It turns out that I talked to such a famous magician..."

"No, doesn't Mr. Doi Tower know?" Tanaka Takahisa wiped away the tears on his face and raised his head, "I thought he had introduced himself to some of you. I was on my grandfather's computer. I found the email he sent. I was concerned about my grandfather’s health and whether there would be any problems with his performance, but I still wished him well and encouraged him..."

"Ah, this, probably because he is also a magician." The white horse detective raised his lips and suddenly shouted, "Watson!"

The eagle, which had been missing since he left the building, heard his call, let out a loud cry, and swooped down in the direction of the Doi Tucker tree.

The eagle's sharp claws headed straight for his face. In order to avoid its attack, Kuroba Kaito took two steps in the direction of Hakuba.

"Click——"

The next second, the clear sound of the handcuffs closing was heard.

The white horse detective who had been waiting there for a long time took out the handcuffs he had prepared for a long time from his pocket, accurately cuffed Doi Takeshu's wrists, and quickly cuffed the other end to his own hand to ensure that the other party had no chance to evade again.

"'Doi Tucker Tree', don't you think this name is a bit difficult to pronounce? 'Phantom Thief Kidd'."

Seeing Doi Takeshu's honest and surprised face in front of him, Hakuba Tan had a smug smile on his lips.

As he said, before he came, he had fully understood the active members of this group. Of course, it was impossible to miss the expert temperament displayed between the lines by the guy whose online name was "Red Herring". .

This man is a very professional magician, and he is not very old. He is a very academic type who has solid basic skills. This can also be felt from the other party's online name.

Even if the smoke bombs of Akira Karasawa and Toru Amuro once diverted his attention slightly, as long as he paid a little attention to the original group of party members, Doi Takuki would be clearly exposed.

Originally, among the people attending the party, the only people who fit his profile of Kaitou Kidd were Hamano Toshiya and Doi Takuki, and Hamano Toshio would viciously mock the magicians who died in the magic show. The guy who is a teacher has excluded himself from the list.

Kaitou Kidd is indeed arrogant, but this arrogance comes from his strong self-confidence and adventurous spirit. The expression is a kind of play on detectives and policemen. He will not express this emotion through low-end verbal expressions.

Then the answer is naturally very obvious.

"Wha, what?!" Suzuki Sonoko suddenly held his face, "Kidd-sama? The red herring is, Kidd-sama?!"

Her expression alternated between excitement and confusion, her face flushed slightly for a moment, and finally she let out an excited cry.

"Let me just say that my feeling is right! Red herring, he is really handsome!"

Kuroba Kaito, whose hands were still handcuffed: "..."

This girl, doesn’t she claim to be her fan? Isn’t this what you focus on? Your idol was arrested in front of you!

Speechless, Kuroba Kaito's movements on his hands were not slow.

When Hakuba Tan put on a confident smile and was about to close the distance and pull away the disguise on his face to confirm whether his guess was correct, Kuroba Kaito took the initiative to pull on his own mask and the stuffing on his body to disguise his body shape. He wore a stuffed pullover and raised his hand in Hakuba's direction.

The flying white pigeon feathers were thrown out as he moved, and the white horse couldn't help coughing due to the feather powder caught in it.

Watson was also frightened by this sudden situation and flew away a little. He grabbed two handfuls of pigeon feathers in his claws in vain, and for a while he didn't know where to continue.

Tang Ze stood watching: "..."

Kuroba Kaito, could he have been saving the feathers from his own pigeons just to wait for this moment? You still have the nerve to accuse me, but how weak is your own desire for revenge?

No wonder this guy is running around in such thin clothes in the middle of winter. He has been wearing cotton lining under his clothes for a long time, and there is a down jacket in the lining. It is indeed not cold, it is quite pragmatic...

Tang Ze stood here speechless, but the movements of his fingertips did not stop.

He curled his fingers, as if grabbing something out of thin air, and pulled hard.

A bright red rope suddenly passed through countless pigeon feathers, hooked directly to the third floor terrace where Hamano Toshiya was hanging just now, and then began to shorten rapidly.

Kuroha Kaito, who was suspended by the rope, suddenly used this force to fly up from the surroundings of cotton wool, feathers and snowflakes. Like a light passenger pigeon, he jumped into the sky and landed on the roof of the villa. superior. .

Having lost his disguise, he was already dressed in a cape and a top hat. At this time, he adjusted his top hat, adjusted his suit, stepped on a T-bone under his feet, stood upright, and bent towards the crowd below. He salutes like a magician who has finished his performance.

"Pah, pah, pah..."

On the other side of the roof, in the open skylight, Conan jumped up and applauded him accordingly.

"It is indeed a gathering of magicians. What a powerful escape magic, Kidd." A few meters away, Conan did not step out of the window rashly, but just looked at the back of Kidd's cloak flying, "The actions are weird, the comings and goings are unpredictable. Traces, 'red herrings', as the name suggests, it's a headache..."

"I am just a guest at this party, and I have no intention of stealing the spotlight from the host." Kuroba Kaito pressed the brim of his hat and smiled, "As for you... you have already been attracted by the magician's performance. Attention, 'Little Mr. Hound Misled by Red Herrings'."

As he explained before, the original meaning of red herring refers to the props specially used by the tracked person to mislead the dog's sense of smell in order to avoid the dog's search. It was later extended to a technique to confuse the sight and divert attention.

And what he means now...

Kuroba Kaito turned around and looked at Karasawa, who was standing below with his arms folded as if watching a show, looking up at him, and smiled slightly.

The real phantom thief who is playing games with the detective is someone else...

"Goodbye detective, see you again before the bell rings at the end of the century..."

After leaving these words, he jumped out, and the cloak behind him straightened again, transforming into a familiar hang glider. Following the biting cold wind, he quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Bai Ma lowered his head and looked at the remaining half of the handcuffs on his wrists. He looked at the neatly broken handcuff chain and frowned.

When he was in the villa, he obviously paid attention not to be approached by anyone. When did this person cut off his handcuffs?

"How cunning." He shook his head, but he was not frustrated. He just put his fingers together to his lips and whistled, "Come back Watson, leave him alone."

When the eagle landed on his shoulder again, Detective White Horse turned around, spread his hands to the others who were watching him silently, and made a joke: "We can't always let detectives and police join forces. Phantom thieves also have to have their own allies." , right?”

Toru Amuro raised his eyebrows, and restrained himself from looking at Karasawa out of comradeship.

The red rope that pulled the Phantom Thief Kid away from the plains at the last moment also had distinctive features. Joker had used it more than once in public view. A well-informed person like Detective White Horse would naturally not miss this.

Who knows what kind of chuunibyou things a group of boys who like to be cool can come up with when they get together...

In this regard, Tang Ze just looked at the half handcuffs on Bai Ma Tan's hand like a bracelet without saying a word.

Knowing that Kaitou Kidd is a slippery loach, Detective White Horse who chose to use this handcuff would definitely not carry the key with him for the other party to take advantage of. Karasawa bets that according to the detectives' suspicions, the key said Maybe it had been thrown away by the White Horse Detective a long time ago, or it might have been eaten into the stomach, but it was impossible to take it out anyway.

You two look very handsome when you act cool, but you must be in a very awkward situation when you are squatting at home cutting off handcuffs. Brother, please stop laughing at the second brother.

"Let's go, first bring in the victim we rescued with great difficulty." Tang Ze shrugged and reminded in time, "If we don't dig him out of the snow, the person we rescued will also freeze to death. "

Hamano was stabbed in the back by Takakue Tanaka in a warm room. At this time, she still only had a thin sweater on her body. If she put it down again, she would really die from the cold here.

As a lesson for being a bitch, this level should be enough, right?

I hope that Araki, a senior member of the group, can also take up his responsibilities and prevent such a tragedy from happening again.

On this issue, he still felt that although Tanaka Takakie acted extreme, her anger was understandable.

Internet violence is also violence, and words are also karma. It’s a pity that the guy who said those words lightly didn’t realize the weight of it...

"call……"

Hagiwara Kenji, who was staring at the screen, let out a long breath. When he heard two exhalations coming from beside him, he couldn't help but look around.

Not surprisingly, he saw his two contemporaries.

Before watching the broadcast of the video, it was obvious that they, like him, couldn't help but hold their breath to observe the situation at the scene. After confirming that Karasawa dug out Hamano Toshiya intact, he dragged him in. In the house, the tone finally relaxed.

Hagiwara Kenji laughed a little embarrassedly: "It turns out that this guy is not dead. It was a false alarm..."

Previously, when he saw Miyano Akemi and the others talking so confidently and looking like they were letting things go, he thought that Karasawa was really planning to stand by and let this person die cleanly this time...

"What are you nervous about?" Asai Narumi picked up her black tea in a dumbfounded voice, "Do you think Karasawa will be angry with this person because of what happened to you? No, Karasawa is calmer and stronger than you think."

"Then, what does he mean by preventing us from taking action...?" Matsuda Jinpei lowered his brows.

"It means that he thinks it would be a good way to let Tanaka Takakie's emotions out and have an opportunity to accuse these people so that we don't have to force her to correct herself." Hoshikawa Teru put down the textbook in his hand and exhaled. , "He is like this sometimes. Hamano Toshiya is not guilty of this, but he is really annoying, and he can't help but want to teach the other party a lesson."

As he spoke, he glanced at the three people sitting in front of the monitor nervously watching the live broadcast, and looked at each other with his other teammates, all shrugging in understanding.

After all, the situation of these three living dead pulled out from the back of the world is different from theirs.

Some of them have either lost their attachment to the world, or their past thoughts have been completely shattered by acts of revenge. They have been reborn and need a place to live and re-establish contact with the world. For Tangze, this change has changed Although they would not express their respect verbally, they recognized it in their hearts.

But these three people have not experienced this process, and they are serious police officers who already have a mature world view. It is normal for them to have certain differences in their ideas.

Hoshikawa Teru and Miyano Akemi secretly glanced at each other, then silently looked away.

Tangze himself knew this.

He once went to Tang Ze in private and asked Tang Ze if he wanted to use some means to eliminate the possible discordant voices in the Phantom Thieves. Whether it was gentle or fierce, he believed that if Tang Ze wanted to, he would definitely do it. There is a way to make his voice the only one here.

No matter how much his appearance and habits have changed, deep down, Hoshikawa Hui is still the dead soldier who crawled out of the organization's dark room. His distrust of others is a sign of his trust in the world.

Tang Ze had his own ideas about this.

"This is actually a good thing." Tang Ze said at the time, "'Gentlemen are harmonious but different, and villains are harmonious but not harmonious.' All I need is like-minded teammates. As for the details, I am not their parent. Why do they agree with me? And to be honest, don’t you feel scared if the group is full of bots? It would be nice if you could give me some reminders by using others as a mirror. A bit too extreme I say.”

"I just don't want to be evaluated like this by this guy..." After complaining in a low voice, Xingchuan Hui picked up the textbook again and stopped caring about the newcomers who were whispering to each other and reshaping their understanding of the group leader.

Tang Ze went back as soon as he went back. When he goes back, he still has to take the exam...
