The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Well, that's great..." Hondou Eisuke, who was sitting next to him, heard him say this and sighed with his cheek in his hand. "I have been looking for my sister for many years, but I don't know where she is now or how she is doing. I have also thought about the worst possibility, so... maybe I encounter a seemingly plausible situation, but I don't rule out the possibility of it happening..."

"I understand, I understand, but I am more worried that if it is really an illusion, my hope will be dashed again, right?" Tang Ze took over his words, "It's human nature, but I think this may also be related to everyone's view of life and death."

Shaking the cup, Tang Ze showed that he was lost in memories and slowly explained.

"No one wants to face the separation of life and death. Losing important people is a very painful thing. This is all right. In order to alleviate this pain, choosing to accept it or refusing to face it is also right. But after all, the living need to continue to live. As long as you are alive, some things are destined to be inevitable... My concept is different from many people."

When Tang Ze said this, he did not choose to use any acting or sensationalism.

He just explained very calmly, telling them his thoughts with the mentality of someone who had seen many scenes and lived for more than ten years.

"Death itself is inevitable, and accidents or disasters often come earlier than expected. Deep down, I will always be willing to make the worst plan before allowing any hope to happen. There is nothing more absolute than death itself, so naturally, there is not much to fear."

"...Oh, yes, Tang Ze, you mentioned it last time. Although your parents died a few months ago, they have actually left you for many years?" Hondou Eiyu was in a trance for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said suddenly.

"Yes, I haven't heard from them for two or three years. Well, you can say that I have been prepared for it." Tang Ze nodded and agreed with his guess.

"No wonder. You are quite open-minded in this regard. It's unexpected."

"What are you talking about, Hondou-kun? I feel like you have a strange impression of me."

"No, it's just that at school... Well, that's right, you seem to always think very open-mindedly."

"I also hope you can find news about your sister soon."

"Thank you for your good wishes."

After saying this, the two minors who were just expressing their feelings seemed to have expressed their feelings, and did not communicate with the adults anymore, and chatted on their own.

Sato Miwako and Hagiwara Chisawa, who were lost in thought because of what Karasawa said before, had different expressions, and seemed to be thinking seriously about what Karasawa said.

After carefully checking the status of the two policewomen with his peripheral vision, Karasawa raised his glass and clinked it with Hondou Eisuke.

It seemed that it was just because of the mutual blessing and clinking glasses to show encouragement, so the policemen across the table did not show any abnormality.

"I don't know what you're going to do, but you don't look like you're doing anything bad." Hondou Eisuke lowered his voice and squeezed out a sentence from the corner of his mouth, "I won't ask you how you found out that I was looking for my sister."

"Thank you for your cooperation." Tang Ze also lowered his voice and took the opportunity to clink glasses to answer, "Thank you for your trust, so... I'll give you an address later. You should get something."

After helping him to be friendly with the team that revealed the vest, he will help the other party to remove the vest that he needs to remove in a friendly manner.

It's also a return of favor, right? Mizunashi Rena can understand.

"...What are those people talking about in secret when they get together?" Maori Kogoro, who walked back to the table with a drink, looked at the people sitting head to head and couldn't help muttering, "Strange combination."

And didn't they say they came to socialize?

Even if they are not interested in contacting the opposite sex, this, they don't drink or chat, what are they doing...

It can't be that they are police officers and come out to socialize and discuss the case, right? That's such a bummer...

"Detective Maori!" A young girl sitting at the table took a glass from his tray and asked him to sit down. "You haven't finished talking just now. What was the truth about the last time, the case of faking suicide in the car using a charcoal stove? I've been curious for a long time!"

"Yes, yes, tell us. There's no detailed explanation in the news..."

"This..." Maori Kogoro smiled awkwardly, "Well, it's normal. If you tell the media too much, it may cause imitation, which is not appropriate."

"Oh, so you can't say it? You're so cunning, Mr. Maori!"

"This, just think it's too simple, so I forgot it!"

"Really, you deliberately "Is he interested?"

"...Why is he so popular, this uncle who suddenly joined?" Conan, who was left behind by Karasawa and Maori Kogoro, could only sit next to Maori Ran, watching the laughter over there with half-moon eyes, "Will girls nowadays like him?"

"It's just because he is a famous detective, and chatting with him to get some inside information is convenient for conversation." Maori Ran narrowed her eyes and said pointedly, "I will keep an eye on him. If he dares to do something too outrageous..."

When the laughter here spread out, Emoto Aya, who was sitting at another table with her back to them, was supporting Miyamoto Yumi, who was drunk and had fallen on the table. When she heard a few key words, she couldn't help but tighten her hands.

"Or I'd better go back early." She looked at her younger brother who was leaning against the other side of Mori Ran and seemed to want to talk to her, and couldn't help but speak.

"What are you talking about? Sister, it's only what time." Masashi Emoto saw her take out her phone to confirm the time again, and became dissatisfied. "Do you think the friendship I organized is of little interest?"

"No, the main reason is that I really don't feel at ease with Hota who is alone at home."

"It's okay, didn't you prepare supper for him in advance?" Emoto waved Shi.

"It's still a bit..."

Ran Maori turned his head and temporarily withdrew his attention to Kogoro Mori and asked curiously, "Child? Is Miss Ai Emoto married? Is it impossible to see at all..."

"No, of course not. It's my 5-year-old cousin. His parents have been abroad for official business, so they have temporarily let him stay at our house." Aya Emoto turned his head and smiled, "I'm a little worried about him."

"But, I organized a party today to let my sister who has been staying at home come out to play. Even if I don't know a few people, it's good to have fun..." Emoto Kamishi said, "Hota He is very good at taking care of himself, I don't think you have to worry."

"Even if I don't mention Hota, my work has not been completed yet." Aya Emoto shook her head and pinched the cup in her hand absent-mindedly, "It's almost time the deadline..."

"I've come out to play, so forget about work for the time being." Emoto Shi still disagreed.

"Have you forgotten, the strange situation you encountered last time? I'm still not very relieved..."

"Strange situation?" Mori Ran adjusted his seat and leaned closer to their direction, "Has happened?"

It is indeed a bit dangerous to leave a 5-year-old child at home alone, but since they are following Emoto Masashi's words, they have only been away from home for two or three hours for a short time, so they should not be as worried as they can't stay.

It feels like a story...

"It's the card of Mask Superman." Emoto, who had a disappointing expression, had a hint of spirit when he saw the beautiful girl talking to him, and suddenly he felt a little excited, "You know, children like to collect. Haota took his friends home one day. When I was playing, I took it out to show it to them, but I found a rare golden card I had never seen before. "

"Well, I asked him where he got it, and he said it was given to him by a kind uncle." Aya Emoto frowned slightly, "There issuance of this kind of card is very small, and it is actually very expensive to trade for trading. This is different from the ordinary gifts, so I am a little wary..."

"We asked him who gave it to him. He said he was a bearded uncle with long bangs. Haota picked up his wallet that he dropped on the ground and returned it to him as a thank you." Emoto said Shi Shi. Here, I shook my head, "I went to check the second-hand transaction price of the card... It's quite expensive, and the bidding price is tens of thousands of yen. It's too expensive to give it away casually. However, it may be just an adult who doesn't understand its value. , I thought it was a toy for the child. "

"If it's just like this, it's fine, but Empress Dowager Hao said that he met that person again and took Hao Tai to his house to treat him to a cake, and asked him a lot of questions." As Aya Emoto said, his brows became more and more frowning, and he was a little nervous. Anxious, "Hao Tai said that uncle was a fortune teller, so he asked him a lot about the layout of his home, including where the bed was placed, what was placed in the entrance hall, my brother and I had birthdays, where would the letters I received besides wait……"

"...He really told me?" Conan, who was also attracted by their conversation, twitched his lips twice when he heard this.

No wonder they were anxious, which almost almost put the suspicious person on his face in advance.

It is very common for children to be unscrupulous of bad people, but this naughty child is too impressed and answers everything.

This kind of child should be anxious to keep it at home for a few hours, and it feels like you may be gone when you go home.

Don’t mention that this is still my cousin’s house, and it’s even more outrageous that it’s not the one who harms me.

"Yes, he answered it all. He also told people in a box in the locker, stacking Shi Xiang on the table in a mess. As a result, what the man said was very good. It is better not to move the position..." Aya Emoto shook her head heavily, "It sounds too purposeful."

"Will you receive any important letters or expensive express delivery? Why did he ask this?" Conan couldn't help asking.

"No, it's just some normal work correspondence, or bills or something."

"Mine is not there either." Emoto patted Shi on the shoulder and said indifferently, "Maybe he is really a quirky fortune teller? That's two weeks ago, and it hasn't happened for so long. Don't worry too much. And, didn't I guess? Maybe some friend of mine is asking about my birthday to surprise me or something."

Conan and Ran Mori exchanged glances, and immediately understood where Emoto Ai's anxiety came from.

Forget it, a 5-year-old naughty child is ignorant. It is rare for naughty children in their twenties to be so arrogant.

"Uh, could it be that the public security in your community is better?" Maori Ran asked tactfully.

I have asked people so much. In addition to their better security and good security, it seems that I can't find a reason to not cause trouble for them.

"Our community is indeed safer, and the neighbors are all nice, so I said it's okay." Jiang Benjiangshi obviously didn't understand what he meant, and waved his hand, "When Haota was eating cake at his house, the man was not in the living room and didn't answer the phone, so he switched to the recording. Haota said he heard my voice. That means the other party must know me."

Conan frowned strangely and asked in a tactful way: "That's one aspect. But you've called him, but you still can't figure out who he is?"

If you know him and he's your friend, isn't this more dangerous?

You have to know that many desperate robbers look for people they know, and many of them even end up in serious tragedies. This kind of thing is never absolute.

Who can assert that their friends won't suddenly get into something bad one day and go crazy after a sharp turn for the worse?

As for choosing a template, it's even more so. After all, only people who know you and your family situation know whether you have money or valuables at home.

"Well, it's hard to say." Masashi Emoto looked around the lively crowd. "I was organizing this party at the time, and I called a lot of people I knew, and some of them I wasn't particularly familiar with, and Kota couldn't tell exactly when he heard the message. Anyway, that person asked Kota to go home after hearing the message."

... It's even more suspicious, he was in a panic as if he was caught.

Seeing Masashi Emoto's completely indifferent look, and even looking at Mao Li Ran intentionally or unintentionally, Conan's mouth began to twitch.

With such a younger brother, his sister should be anxious. Although optimism is a good character trait, he is too open-minded.

"So, are the contents of your messages the same? Are there any distinguishable features?"

"Ah, almost. When I called them, they all said the same thing, that is, my sister and I organized a social gathering the Saturday after next. If you have time and are interested, please contact me or something..."

"Pah!"

Without waiting for Masafumi Emoto to finish, Miwako Sato, who came over to help Yumi Miyamoto, slapped the table.

"That means that the person knew that only the child was at home tonight?!"

"Uh, yeah, right..." Masafumi Emoto was stunned by her roar.

"Hurry up and call to confirm?!" Ran Mouri also stood up immediately.

"I was calling just now, but no one answered, so I..." Aya Emoto pursed her lips and held the phone tightly.

"Then go to your house directly!" Miwako Sato grabbed Masafumi Emoto's collar, "Takagi, Chiba, let's go!"
