The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

Chapter 916 The dust has settled

"You're awake, Tokijin-kun." The first one to show a smile was still Karasawa, "The quality of your sleep is very good, very good."

"After all, you are still growing up..." Seemingly amused by his weird lines, Koshimizu Nanatsuki burst into laughter, "I understand, I understand. Being able to sleep is a good thing."

"I..." Shi Jinjunzai didn't quite understand what they were talking about and raised his head blankly. When he saw the clock, his expression became surprised.

Obviously, the "victim" who vomited half a ton of flower petals had no idea what happened after entering his room.

There was no smile on Bai Ma Tan's face.

Ignoring his self-confidence that often makes him appear rather arrogant, Tan Baima is actually a man with quite a British sense of humor, but looking at Toki Jinjunzai now, he doesn't even have the slightest intention of keeping a smile.

A detective with a score of 96, which means that he has made at least a dozen "judgments" where the answers are likely to be wrong?

Seriously, if the suspects framed in these cases are facing the destruction of their lives like what Koshimizu Nanatsuki's friends experienced, then this guy's actual record is better than that of some less crazy serial murderers. It’s all too much.

Just as Tan Baima was about to say something, he suddenly noticed Reina Mizuki approaching at the end of the corridor, leading the camera.

No matter what the original arrangement of the variety show was, at this point, their filming and recording should indeed continue.

He quickly lowered his head and noticed that the red light on the microphone he had pinned to his collar and had forgotten to take off was on. He immediately straightened up and changed the serious tone he was about to blurt out to a soft tone: "Mr. Shijin, I'm really sorry. Actually, in While you were asleep, we solved the mystery of this house."

"Huh?" Tokijin Junya reacted for two seconds. He realized what Hakuba Tan was saying, and his expression suddenly turned ugly. "When was this announced? Why didn't I know? You are jumping the gun... …”

"Jumping away? That's possible. But, didn't you do the same thing at the TV station this morning?" Tangze grinned, like a predator showing its white teeth, "The host lady said that from the moment you entered this house, From now on, our battle has begun.”

Tokijin Junya's eyes widened and he felt even more angry.

He wanted to protest loudly and say that he had been targeted in this show. The show team had prepared this kind of role for him to be used as a sacrifice to heaven. The appearance fee was not enough for him to be a stepping stone, but his kind The confidence and self-righteousness seemed to have melted away with this long sleep, and the volume when he spoke unconsciously became much lower.

"But that's not fair. 'Lavender Cottage' is a case I have handled, and it has been closed for many days. If they just said that they needed to solve this mystery, I would obviously be able to come up with the answer right away..."

"'Lavender Cottage'." Hattori Heiji had already understood a bit of their intentions from Hakuba Tan and Karasawa's harmonious exchanges, his eyes flashed, "Could it be that what you are talking about happened on Shikoku Island? A suspicious case of a rich man’s daughter committing suicide?”

The previous names were all nicknames, but here is a very clear guide, aiming to make Tokizu Junya personally admit that this case clearly points to him.

"Yeah, are there any other cases with this name? 'Lavender', and 'Toolbox'... I found the evidence that the police missed and confirmed that the maid used glue to cut off the screws first. Open the window and go in, then stick the window back to its original position to create an alibi..." Tokijin Junya, who was focusing all his attention on the front, naturally didn't notice the camera behind him and blurted out.

Reina Mizuna, who was walking normally, caught the sound coming from the earphones and immediately made alert gestures. She did not let the rest of the film crew follow her, and only took the photographer and the two of them and approached lightly.

"So the case Miss Yueshui talked about on the boat was your work." Bai Ma Tan crossed his arms, "Then what do you want to say about the conclusion she gave? Regarding the 'nail has nothing to do with this case' thing.”

In terms of expressing this case, Koshimizu Nanatsuki has been very restrained in his words.

For some evidence that did not match the time of death of the deceased, she only said that it was a "miscarriage of justice" and did not say that the detective had fabricated perjury. This really saved Tokizu Junya face.

Tokizu Junya's back, which was straightened with anger, immediately collapsed.

The possibility raised by Koshimi Nanatsuki was something he could not deny and felt quite guilty about.

He discovered the fallen nail parts and quickly determined that the cold case ended with suicide as homicide. After some reasoning, he determined that the murderer was the deceased's maid.

If you ignore the details of the evidence, this is actually a pretty beautiful reasoning. Not only the local police think so, but the client himself also thinks so. Therefore, after the initial guilty conscience passed, he saw the lavender and toolbox in the house, His immediate reaction was not that he felt guilty, but that he felt that he had a chance of winning this competition.

Since the police can't find any fault with him, there's no reason that a variety show team can find out?

With such luck, Tokijin Junya walked into the room assigned to him, arranged his clothes, and prepared to give a wonderful speech...

It was precisely this mentality that allowed the cognitive space infected by Nanatsuki Koshimizu's anger to quickly anchor him as the "victim", causing him to perform a show of spitting out lavender to the detectives...

"You actually know that, right? Those evidences of yours won't stand up at all as long as they are examined a little." Koshizui Nanatsuki turned around and looked directly at Tokijin Junya, with judgment in his olive green eyes. His firm gaze is like a quietly burning flame, "Trace element identification has become very popular. You only need to slightly extract some substances on the nails. It is easy to determine whether those things were there half a year ago..."

"But that kind of budget is very high." Tokijin Junya, who was not fully conscious, answered without thinking, "That requires the cooperation of the laboratory. As long as I don't raise this point, the police will not be able to..."

"Ah, you really know." Koshimizu Nanatsuki laughed again, this time his smile was sincere.

"You made up your mind and knew that as long as your reasoning was logical and the evidence chain looked relatively complete, the police would accept your statement out of trust in your past resume, so you just 'handed in' it - in Knowing that the answer may be wrong, Tang Ze tilted his head and said. As he looked, his eyes had turned, no longer looking at Tokijin Junya, but at the camera behind him, "A little fluke of yours will destroy the good trust relationship that all of us have worked hard to create so far, and will make it worse." The public has questioned the outcome of the case after the detectives assisted. Do you know what you are doing?"

"The purpose of our being detectives is not such a superficial thing." Detective Baima waved his hand, "If you want to be a business-driven detective, if you can't reach Mingzhijun's level, then just be an ordinary person. A private detective, checking for cheating, finding cats and dogs, and tracking a few targets is enough for food and clothing.”

Tang Ze, who was scolded, gave him a subtle look and felt that what he said was not a good thing.

"Do whatever you have the ability to do, and if you can't do it, leave it to those who can do it. At this time, I would rather hand in a blank paper than create misunderstandings. This is the most basic professional ethics, I say..." Hattori Heiji also He crossed his arms and was furious.

He was angry not only because of Tokijin Junya's behavior, but also because he thought about the situation of the program team.

If it hadn't been for this guy's mistake, would he have been reduced to the point where he needed to be packaged with Goro Akechi and sold to film a show? Although, 800,000 yen is indeed a lot...

"Then why don't you tell them?!" Being forced by every question, Tokijin Junya finally couldn't help it anymore, raised his head, and let out a loud shout.

If you don't say it, if he doesn't say it, except for a few smart people, the police will never be able to discover the mystery.

Even if some people are misunderstood, I would like to make some amends...

He raised his head so suddenly that he bumped into the camera behind him that had been pushed closer.

He hissed and turned his head instinctively.

The long lens of the camera, like the black barrel of a gun, was pointed straight at his head, taking a close-up of his face that was a mixture of anger and shock.

Koshizui Nanatsuki chuckled softly, which was transmitted into the microphone on his chest.

Finally, all the pictures she wanted were taken.

In this way, Xiaoxun can finally get out of the fog and see the possibility of moving towards the future, right?

"Hey, so, isn't it a variety show about detectives dueling each other?!"

Toyama and Ye, who took a sip of soda, took the tissue handed over by Mao Lilan and expressed disbelief.

"Yeah, I'm disappointed. There's no chance of winning this time." Hattori Heiji, who was standing at the bow of the boat, paid attention to the crowd behind him with his peripheral vision and lowered his voice again, "If the show is broadcast, , don’t be too surprised.”

"Huh? Surprised? Why?" Yuan Shan and Ye were confused.

What should I say...

Hattori Heiji scratched his hair helplessly, looked at the morning horizon, and tried his best to ignore the "acceptance speeches" of several people behind him.

"...Yes, I'm not actually a high school student anymore. But this school uniform is indeed my old school uniform." Koshizui Nanatsuki, who changed into a more mature casual outfit and no longer insisted on calling himself boku, smiled at the camera. , "I am 20 years old and now I am studying in university in Tokyo. As for participating in this variety show, I have to thank Akechi-kun for his help..."

"...Yes, this program is actually a joint project between me and Ms. Minami. Through Koshizumi's description, I found that such a bad situation could still happen, which was very unacceptable. So I found Nippon TV Station... Of course , we have cooperated for so long, I fully I believe in the professionalism of the TV station... The result is very satisfying, isn't it?" Karasawa finished his look skillfully and looked for the camera with a hearty smile, "I also asked Hattori-kun to come with me. In this way, our 'goal' is achieved. There will be no doubt about the purpose of the variety show..."

Detective Bai Ma sat under the umbrella on the deck and took the microphone handed over by the camera crew: "Me? Of course I didn't know about it beforehand. However, I also sympathize with what happened to Miss Yueshui's friend..."

"...Anyway, just take what they say as true." Hattori Heiji, who declined the interview, twitched the corners of his mouth, grabbed the phone, and moved a little further.

It’s better not to get close to these people, you might get infected.

"Isn't this good?" Seeing Hattori Heiji walking back slowly, Conan tugged the sunglasses on his face, "Let the detectives deal with him on their own. Internal correction is better than the consequences of a scandal. "

And in this case, there will always be some people who view this incident in an entertaining way, thinking that everything is a stunt created by the TV station, and are unlikely to take this incident seriously, which can be regarded as minimizing the impact on the reputation of the detectives in disguise.

"What's so good? Weren't you also completely exploited, Kudo?" Hattori Heiji looked at him sideways, "And you didn't even get the appearance fee..."

"Well, they just said that they would list me as the sponsor." Pointing to his mobile phone, Conan replied euphemistically, "Well, as the 'think tank behind the scenes'..."

In this way, Kudo Shinichi did not leave the country and did not lose his status. In addition, the TV station promised to process his audio. People who paid close attention to his news were also unable to determine whether he was really involved...

It's good, a world where no one gets hurt is born.

"What about me, what about the part that kept me in the dark?" Hattori Heiji pointed to his nose.

"800,000 yen." Conan gestured.

"I, I really... Is this some kind of hush money..."

"I guess this is the reason why I negotiated this price for you. Is it just mental compensation?"

"Damn it, Kudo, even you..."

"Thank you for accepting the interview. Before the program is broadcast, we will inform you of the general content of the edited version." Taking the microphone returned by Baima Tan, the staff responsible for interviewing him was very respectful.

Regardless of his status as a well-known detective, Detective White Horse's background should not be underestimated. It is not easy to cooperate with the TV station's filming. It is not good to offend such a character.

"That's very polite."

Smiling as he watched the staff bow and leave again, Hakuba Tan put away his smile, turned his head and looked at Akechi Goro, who had also finished his "acceptance speech".

Out of the scope of the camera, the star detective with a heavy idol burden finally seemed to relax a little, leaning on the deck chair and looking at the early morning sea outside the boat.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki followed the staff and left. There was no more noisy guy. Several other detectives either completely hid in the room and refused to be interviewed, or had already left the deck in a noisy manner. The atmosphere was a little quiet for a while.

As if aware of his gaze, Goro Akechi turned his head and looked back.

"What's wrong, Mr. White Horse? Is there something wrong? It feels like you are always observing me."

This was a somewhat nonsensical question, but Detective Bai Ma knew that what he said was not a lie.

Bai Ma Tan took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, then suddenly asked.

"You do know 'Karasawa', right? A genius detective who appeared out of nowhere."
