Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 694 Tang Ze: The team is coming quickly!

"This Kitagawa, standing next to his teacher, looks quite serious..." Mouri Kogoro squinted at the picture of the newspaper in Conan's hand, and his tone was not very pleasant.

He hasn't forgotten that this guy asked Xiaolan to become a nude model, so he can't give a good evaluation to this guy for the time being.

"It's good. He can finally find another place to live like this." Conan curled his lips, folded the newspaper and put it down, revealing a photo of the calm and composed Kisaragi Hosui and Kitagawa Yusuke standing in front of the exhibition hall.

When he had nothing to do, he walked for several hours to various places in the city to paint or something. If he continued like this, he was afraid that Kitagawa Yusuke would not become an artist and would participate in a triathlon first.

"Why, he won a grand prize, and his teacher will provide him with a place to live? Then this painter is pretty good." Mouri Kogoro, who glanced at the old man's face with disinterest, finally paid attention when he heard this. Li looked at the old man with gray hair and gray hair in the photo, wearing a linen kimono.

"Probably, after all, his teacher's house is very big. This matter made the news. Because of his love for Mount Fuji, he spent his life savings to build a house with a better view, so that he can see Mount Fuji directly at all times. Continue own artistic creation.”

And you always stay in the school dormitory and are under management, so it’s not convenient to go out and watch out for the Phantom Thief, right? Imagine if Kaitou Kid needs to live in a school dormitory, catching him would only require a dormitory contraband check or something...

"Your dessert." Toru Amuro, who was holding a tray, approached and pressed the cup directly onto the newspaper without looking, which happened to cover Kitagawa Yusuke's face in the photo.

In recent days, he didn't want to see this face very much.

As soon as he saw this face, Toru Amuro couldn't help but recall some teeth-itching memories, and the front-page headline of the newspaper in front of him automatically changed to "Shocked!" Members of the black organization's codename sneaked into college campuses late at night to do this kind of thing..."

Even if there is a familiar hair under the skin, it won't work.

Therefore, if you follow his identity and verify his identity, you will find that his family is poor, that he has moved out of school, that he is obsessed with creation and is not familiar with his classmates, etc., etc., etc., all of which can be verified one by one. Tang Ze is not afraid of revealing his secrets at all. Revealing things.

"So, Mr. Mori is in a relatively leisurely state now?" Seeing Kogoro Mori and Conan each holding up desserts and snacks, Azusa Enomoto said in hindsight, "Well, I have a request for you, can I trouble you? However, if you entrust a famous detective to do such a small thing..."

Next, we should consider how to deal with Ruyue Fengshui's palace, and how to follow him to the unveiling ceremony of the Twin Towers to have fun...

Well, it’s not incomprehensible to have some personal vendetta and work overtime to get crazy.

Now, Kitagawa Yusuke has become a freer being than Goro Akechi, who does not need to go to school.

With this thought in mind, when Toru Amuro put coffee on Karasawa's table, she almost smashed the glass in front of him.

On Ruyue Fengshui's side, he was basically in a daze, half-inviting and half-intentionally adding a student. However, since the other person's creative ideas were more consistent with his own, and he was an art creator who had already been recognized by awards, it would not be a loss for him to have one more student. Like his other students, it is also normal to have free use of the studio in his residence that has the best view and can directly see Mount Fuji.

Karasawa, who was writing and drawing in a notebook and planning the next palace strategy, suddenly woke up and faced the face of Toru Amuro, who had been forced to work overtime for many days and had dark circles under his eyes that could not be covered by his skin color.

Ruyue Fengshui's residence is a single-family villa halfway up a mountain. This is the location of his palace and the starting point of the entire palace.

In other words, because in Kisaragi Hosui's persistent concept, this house is an important node connecting him with Mount Fuji, so it naturally becomes the starting point to the various Mount Fujis in his palace.

Kisaragi Hosui, who has tightly bound his lifelong artistic pursuit to Mount Fuji, has a very strong obsession. This obsession can drive him to plan his life and imagine the future around Mount Fuji, and can make him kill himself for the lost beauty. , killing a group of wealthy businessmen and politicians naturally gave him strong control over the palace.

This was not an unreasonable association from Tohru Amuro. This was an email sent to him by Karasawa after knowing how he completed the disguise of his identity.

In order to impress this stubborn little old man, after careful consideration, Karasawa chose this art award as a breakthrough and used Mount Fuji as the theme to complete his creation. Finally, he got his wish and confirmed his status as a loan student.

From the school's point of view, Kitagawa Yusuke, who has been recognized by the master, is like a closed disciple of Kisaragi Hosui. In the profession of painting, the traditional apprenticeship model is common. It is normal for him to move directly to Kisaragi Hosui for a long time.

Tang Zeshi put the coffee to his mouth and took a few sips, and once again sorted out the situation in Ruyue Fengshui's palace.

This is the reason why Karasawa insists on reactivating Kitagawa Yusuke's identity, and does not hesitate to use Kid's artistic creative ability to establish a master-disciple relationship with Kisaragi Hosui.

It’s not that Mouri Kogoro likes to arrange people, the main reason is that the situations encountered by young girls who seek private detectives are nothing more than these. Some even mix all the above elements. For him, this kind of conditioned reflex is basically Inertia.

As expected, he was beaten lightly when he got angry that day. If there was another chance like this, he would have to let Jing hold Tang Ze down for him and punch him a few more times.

"Eh? Did Ms. Azusa encounter any problems?" Mouri Kogoro, who had already started taking his children downstairs to eat ice cream, cheered up. "Is it something related to personal safety? Stalkers, break-ins. ? Or is it that your boyfriend has changed his mind?"

"How could it be? That's definitely not the case." Azusa Enomoto waved her hand quickly, "I found the lost item in the store, but I waited for two days and no one came to find it, so I hope you can help find the owner."

"Ah, we're looking for someone..." Mouri Kogoro nodded without showing any emotion on his face, and his hand had already touched the glass of iced drinks again.

This is a relatively boring commission, without even a hint of fun for young people.

"This is it." Azusa Enomoto groped in the pocket of her apron, quickly found a mobile phone, and handed it to Mouri Kogoro.

Mouri Kogoro pressed the power button in confusion and was surprised to find that there was no lock screen password set on the phone and he could directly enter the interface.

"Mobile phone? The decoration is quite special. However, since the mobile phone has power and the phone card is also there, if the owner really wants to find it, just make a call." After briefly checking the situation, Mouri Kogoro finally felt something Weird.

If you lose your mobile phone, unless the person who picked it up has evil intentions, or the mobile phone was stolen and turned off directly, this should be the easiest loss to deal with. If you really can’t find it, take it to the police to check the phone card. It’s not difficult to find the person. .

In this case, generally speaking, something would happen if the owner left the cafe...

"Someone has indeed called this number, and called it three times..." Azusa Enomoto became embarrassed, "I received them all, but I still can't find the owner."

"Oh?"

"The first time I called, the person on the other side said, 'Sorry, I dialed the wrong number,' and then hung up. However, within a few minutes, I called again and said, 'Hey, that's weird, there was a ring just now. "The phone hung up again before I could speak."

Azusa Enomoto held her chin and frowned in distress.

"Oh, this is probably because the owner used a friend's phone number to call his own phone, trying to find the phone by ringing it, right? It's just that he didn't realize that the phone was lost in the coffee shop. It wasn't around at all, so naturally he couldn't find it." Mouri Kogoro was very surprised. Quickly gave an inference.

"No, the person who called doesn't seem to be the owner. Because when he called for the third time, the other person's tone completely changed."

Having said this, Azusa Enomoto rubbed his hands together uneasily.

"'Hey! Are you that guy's woman? Let him answer the phone! I'm going to kill him!' That's it, he started roaring like this."

Recalling the deep malice, Azusa Enomoto couldn't help but shudder again.

I picked up the lost mobile phone and answered the call kindly, thinking that I could return the lost item to the owner, but I received an inexplicable and disturbing call. This was a strange development that seemed too much like an accident was going to happen next.

"I was a little scared, so I hung up the phone without daring to answer, and then turned off the phone. The next day, I felt that this was not good, so I turned the phone back on, but since then there have been no more calls throughout the day. …”

Conan and Mouri Kogoro looked at each other, finally showing some interest.

At the very least, it sounds like the owner of the phone is indeed in trouble this time, and it's a little more interesting than simply looking for a cat, a dog, and a mistress.

Also on alert were Toru Amuro and Karasawa. Toru Amuro, who was wiping the bar counter, had quietly come over. When he heard this, he took the initiative to ask: "You didn't even tell me about this, Miss Enomoto. What if this is true? What should I do if I get into trouble? I am more or less a private detective now, so why am I looking for Mr. Mori Detective?"

His tone was half joking, half serious.

The mobile phone lost in Polo Cafe may not only be caused by the carelessness of the guest, but also must be taken into consideration by the two members of the organization who have been working and living here for a long time.

Not to mention, Tang Ze has a more complicated identity problem. What if the other party's target is actually him and Tang Ze...

"Aren't you a bit busy these two days, Mr. Amuro? I'm sorry, I don't mean I don't trust your firm." Azusa Enomoto waved his hands hurriedly, "I see you mentioned that Akechi-kun is too busy all day long. The commission fee has been increased many times..."

It was not good to bother her colleagues to use their side job to help. This side job might be quite expensive, which was even worse. Seeing that Mouri Kogoro seemed to be really free, she came up with this matter that had been bothering her for two days for consultation.

"No wonder no calls came in later." Conan fiddled with his phone a few times and said, "This phone can't get through at all. It has been shut down."

"Eh? Is that so?" Azusa Enomoto was surprised. For fear of causing misunderstanding, she was too embarrassed to open her phone and look through it carefully, "Sure enough, I shouldn't have hung up..."

"Well, that's normal. The dialed numbers cannot be displayed." After a simple search for the number, Conan nodded and comforted her, "It's okay. If it doesn't work, just take it to the police station. Do you still remember that you lost your phone? What does the guest look like and when did he arrive?”

"It was after noon, it was tea time. He was a middle-aged man who was a little fat, because he kept flipping on his mobile phone while eating. The color of the casing of this mobile phone was relatively bright and unique, so I was deeply impressed... ..." Azusa Enomoto recalled slowly and answered in detail, "The first call came about an hour after he left, the second one was only a few minutes apart from the first one, and then the third call came again. It’s been about half an hour.”

"All past call records have been cleared." Kogoro Mouri rummaged through it twice and frowned, "But the address book contains many names and phone numbers..."

"Do you need to try dialing from the address book?" Toru Amuro naturally approached the two people and followed them to study this strange mobile phone and try to find more clues that could reveal the truth.

Although it was unlikely, he still had to rule out the possibility that the other party was targeting him or Tang Ze.

If it is related to the organization, he must handle the relevant information as quickly as possible to avoid affecting the normal life of the cafe, let alone involve the innocent Azusa Enomoto.

And if it was directed at Tang Ze or the more complicated identity behind him...it seemed like he would have to wipe his own ass.

Toru Amuro felt itchy in his fist again and took a deep breath.

"Something's not right. These numbers all start with 1 and are all ten digits. These are not phone numbers at all." After clicking on a few entries, Mouri Kogoro shook his head.

"The names are also very strange. Why do everyone's last names have Chinese characters, but their first names have changed to katakana? It's not normal at all." Conan swiped twice on the list, and his interest gradually increased.

The three detectives stood next to each other, looking down at the small mobile phone, and the atmosphere gradually became more intense.

"Well, some names have a black dot with a symbol behind them..."

"It's very much like a secret code, or some kind of secret word, used to show to specific people. Some people will use this method to secretly pass on information, even if the things fall into the hands of unsuspecting people, such as us. Something that would expose the record.”

"But shouldn't writing this kind of thing in the address book generally be for yourself?"

"Don't forget, this phone was lost in the cafe by its owner. Maybe it was something that was meant to be handed over to someone, but something unexpected happened during the execution."

"Well, there is a certain truth. The mobile phone is not a lost item, but the information itself that needs to be transmitted. Can't you tell, Amuro, you have a detective mind."

"I'm so impressed, Mr. Maori. I'm still a newbie and I still need to learn from you..."

Karasawa, whose attention was also called back by Azusa Enomoto's words, just glanced at them without looking over there, and moved his chair slightly twice to ensure that he kept a distance from them.

The detective atmosphere there is a bit too strong, and there is a feeling that something could happen easily if you get too close.

Lowering his head again, Karasawa clicked on the Phantom Thieves' communication software.

The group is maintaining a lively frequency of daily exchanges among the Phantom Thieves.

[Karma: Is this the reason why people from that organization temporarily evacuated Tokyo? Recently, the Phantom Thief CH has been unable to keep up with the cleaning pace. He can complete the task in one morning, which is a bit unaccustomed. 】

[Lunar: You must never say that. If you were in the hospital, you would be beaten by your colleagues for speaking like that. 】

[Karma: Huh? 】

[Lunar: It’s okay, just a little weird superstition. Anyway, it’s okay to take a little rest. Jun Hui, don’t be fooled by your leader. There is no compensation for working overtime in the group. 】

[Karma: But if you don’t hurry up, it will take a long time to rescue the next policeman, right? Moreover, we can only deal with three or four people at one time like this, and we don’t even have the opportunity to show our work process to the new members. 】

[Zhu Fu Jingguang: Well... I really don’t need to prepare a code name or something first? I always feel that my format is different from yours. 】

[Hiro: Also, this question may be a little offensive, but what do you mean by solving three or four people at once? 】

[Hiro: ...Thank you Noah, uh, it still looks a little strange. 】

[Shade: Don’t worry, that sentence doesn’t mean killing people. We didn’t do anything illegal or criminal. 】

[Illusion: When you say that, it doesn’t seem quite right. We are indeed a bit illegal. 】

[Lunar: It doesn’t matter. Due to the nature of his job, this police officer also committed some crimes during his lifetime. 】

[Hiro: This is... uh...]

[Joker: Don’t worry, Sister Junhui, big life is coming! 】

[Karma: Huh? 】

[Lunar: Hey, so I told you not to say that. 】

[Joker: Have you ever heard of Baishou Shuhei? It doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard of it. In short, Noah, search it to see if this guy is on the subway. It feels like even if there is no palace, this is a guy who is about to become one. 】

[Karma: That’s what I said...]

[Lunar: What have you heard? You are very sure about it. Don’t you need additional investigation? 】

[Joker: This guy is participating in the parliamentary election. 】

[Lunar: That’s okay, there must be a palace. 】

[Joker: Okay, it seems we have an agreement. Just in time to give a demonstration to the new members, so prepare to open the Double Bonus Shuhei, Yoneka Shopping Street 1=5, come quickly! 】
