Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 811 Ireland: The advantage is mine!

After business hours, only the facade of the Dongdu Tower was lit. With the light shining through the glass, Motokami and Shu looked at the two people, one big and one small, standing on the table. The ferocity and anger on their faces were real.

"Don't make yourself sound like a saint! You're not worthy of Nanako. You don't even have the courage to admit your guilt, you coward!"

"So, did Nanako really give up her elevator seat on her own initiative?" Mizutani Kousuke turned his head, his expression somewhat sad and puzzled, "Why did you lie to me?"

"If you really don't mind this matter, why did you investigate the information of those seven people before?" Motogami Kazuki ignored his doubts and just sneered at his shock. "You have to thank that Shindou Sumire who died in your hands. If it weren't for her, I would have no chance to find out the truth of the matter!"

"W-what?!" Mizutani Kousuke was stunned, and this time the surprise on his face was genuine.

Motogami Kazuki, who was completely immersed in his own emotions, did not give him a chance to speak, and continued to talk to himself: "I looked up a few people on the list and found out that Shindou Sumire was a painter. There happened to be a public exhibition at that time, so I wanted to ask her what happened that day. It was also at this time that I heard her conversation with Ryuzaki."

Sumire Shindo is a female painter with a gentle personality, and her works are very delicate and gentle, but Ryuuzaki Tsutomu, the victim whose last words were heard by the police before he died, is a smooth-talking real estate salesperson.

So, Motokami and Shu, who had originally not been very excited, were suddenly aroused by his words, which showed that he was grateful for his survival, and he began to formulate a plan of revenge against these people in his mind.

"It's normal for Mr. Mizutani to investigate their list. He also lost his lover and was still immersed in sadness and anger at the time. It's understandable that he wants an explanation." Conan stepped forward and stood in front of Mizutani Kosuke, his hand already touching his belt, ready to go.

Ben Shangheshu was so excited that it was a bit exaggerated. I don’t know if he started to become completely hysterical after his identity was seen through.

"What about Shindo Sumire?!" Motogami Kazuki's voice was unusually loud this time. "What kind of good person is Mizutani? Now he pretends to want to avenge Nanako, but he picked a weak woman to attack. What have he been doing before?"

"What have you been talking about..." Mizutani Kousuke pursed his lips and asked in confusion, "When did I kill Shindo Sumire?"

"Isn't this what you left behind? Stop putting the blame on me at this time!" Ben Shangheshu took out the envelope from his bag and threw it heavily on the ground.

"I don't know why there is such a misunderstanding, but I still want to make it clear that I have never met any of these seven people." Mizutani Kousuke shook his head and took out a bag from his bag. "Just treat me as a coward. I'm afraid that when I stand in front of them, I will lose control of my emotions because of thinking of Nanako. They objectively caused Nanako's death, and so did I, but I think the current situation is definitely not what Nanako wants to see. As for this thing, I'll give it back to you, brother."

Motokami Kazuki may not approve of his sister's boyfriend, but for him, the blood relationship between Motokami Kazuki and his lover cannot be severed.

So until this time, he still chose honorifics and did not change the meaning of the address.

Conan's eyes suddenly focused on the bag in his hand.

Taking a personal item from the victim is an indispensable part of Motokami Kazuki's entire plan, because he needs a medium to make Mizutani Kosuke, who committed suicide, confirm his identity as the murderer.

Nothing is more effective as proof than the deceased's personal belongings, which are only in the possession of the murderer. In the absence of evidence, it is very likely that the police will hastily close the case under pressure from public opinion.

According to this, the thing that the organization is paying attention to is now...

"Stop making excuses for yourself." Motokami Kazuki couldn't control his emotions any more when he saw the drawstring bag. "Whether it's them or you, if you really feel sorry for Nanako's death and want to thank her, why didn't you come in person? Sending flowers anonymously, what other use is there except to make your own conscience go away!"

This reason was also the answer he got from Dr. Kihara after he investigated the true situation.

Yes, can a few cheap, ridiculous flowers be worth the life-saving grace? This group of shameless people who enjoyed the kindness of their sister, is this the end of their repayment to the benefactor? !

"That's obviously because they are ashamed to face Miss Nanako's family..." Conan frowned, feeling the overly extreme emotions of Motokami and Shu. As he refuted, he couldn't help but feel doubtful.

At this point, there is no need for Motokami Kazuki to lie, which means, he really didn't kill Shindo Sumire?
Who could it be, an organization investigating this matter? Or...

In addition, Ben Shanghe Shu's condition was also very wrong. It was as if they were stuck in a dead end, completely ignoring the facts and falling into a logical dilemma.

The only reason he was able to escape punishment was because Mizutani Kosuke had an easy-to-control personality and took the blame for him. He didn't even think about it carefully. What would he do if Mizutani Kosuke suddenly changed his mind?
There are only two children in their family. Nanako died in a fire and he was sentenced to death for murder. What should their parents do?
However, at this time, Motokami and Shu could not hear any of these explanations.

He reached out and pulled out a short knife from his bag, then raised it towards Conan: "Stop talking! Go down and ask these meaningless questions for me!"

With that, he raised his arm, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the noisy child, just as he had done with every victim.

Conan, who was well prepared, raised his wrist and was about to open the dial to subdue the murderer directly when the sound of a pistol firing was heard.

"Stop! Police!"

Ben Shangheshu screamed, clenched his wrists and fell to his knees. Conan raised his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

As he expected, Adachi Toru was running quickly from the direction of the elevator, showing handcuffs and a pistol in his hands, and approaching with a stern face.

"I'm Adachi, the consultant of the Metropolitan Police Department. I hope you guys are not hurt."

"No, no..." Mizutani Kousuke looked at him blankly and answered instinctively.

"That's good. Let's talk about it when we get back to the Metropolitan Police Department." As he said that, he came over to support Motokami Heshu, who was unable to stand up due to the pain. He handcuffed his hands directly, and regardless of his screams, he pulled him up from the ground.

Conan, who was rescued, showed no sign of relaxing his brows. Instead, he secretly reached for his watch again.

If Adachi Toru is really that person, then his goal at this moment must not be the truth or the real murderer...

"Can you let me keep this thing? It's an important clue to the case." Grabbing Motokami Kazuki's arm, Adachi Toru pointed to the drawstring bag still in Mizutani Kousuke's hand.

These are personal belongings from several of the deceased. With them and the murderer himself, even if Motokami and Shu think they are very capable in handling evidence, the Forensic Department will have plenty of ways to establish a connection.

"Okay, okay..." Easily convinced by the scene in front of him, Mizutani Kosuke raised his hand and prepared to hand the thing over.

Ireland curled the corners of his mouth and was about to take his target into his arms when a tiny sound of breaking through the air was heard.

He instinctively dodged to the side, and the anesthetic needle directly hit Motokami Heshu, who had not yet recovered.

The tall and strong man fell down without a sound.

Ireland glanced coldly at Conan, who was holding his watch. "If you could really fire rapidly like a gun, it could barely be considered a threat."

He had investigated and found that in addition to Kogoro Mouri, other people around this kid had also shown some signs of the "sleeping detective" phenomenon.

From this, he can basically be sure that the anesthetic props in the other party's hands should only be used once each time. Otherwise, Kudo Shinichi, who is hiding his identity, would not have to take the risk of changing the target he is controlling, which would increase the risk.

After saying that, Ireland took a step forward, and regardless of Mizutani Kosuke's attempts to take back the things, he grabbed the other's arm, took the pocket in his hand, and threw Mizutani Kosuke out.

Compared to the sturdy Motokami Kazuki, Mizutani Kousuke was a thin and melancholy young man. He had never suffered such a heavy blow from a shoulder fall, and he fainted without a sound.

"You are not Adachi Toru after all." There were no other spectators at the scene, so Conan stopped pretending and lowered his voice, "Are you, Irish Whiskey?"

"You can see through all this? You have a really sharp brain." Ireland just sneered, not showing any sign of panic.

Just admit it. He has already attacked other policemen anyway. Adachi Toru himself belongs to the organization. After the incident is over, it’s none of his business what happens to that low-level member.

"How did you recognize me?" Ireland calmly opened his drawstring bag, looking for the memory card that had troubled him, and had the leisure to ask small talk. "Because you acted like you didn't know us at all." Conan tensed his back, adjusted his standing position with the other party, and tried to find an opportunity to hit the football, and explained calmly, "But in Izu, we met Adachi Toru himself."

To be precise, it was his credit that the Izu serial murder case was solved.

However, at that time, Adachi Toru needed to use this case to embellish his resume, and of course it was impossible for him to mention these "passers-by" who helped solve the case in the report.

Therefore, even if he could act a bit like Adachi Toru, just by reading the files and not being familiar with Ireland at all, it would be difficult for him to react to this issue. He was just following his character and showing some hostility towards Tang Ze.

But in fact, it’s not just Tangze. He and Xiaolan have all seen the real Adachi Toru.

"Tsk, he's a useless guy too." Thinking of the unfair treatment he received in the Metropolitan Police Department, Ireland's resentment was genuine, but his hands were busy comparing memory cards.

He checked the number on the card, confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the memory card, and immediately put it in his arms.

It was this thing that pushed him to a dead end little by little. Ireland, who had always imagined that his ending would be death in the power struggle within the organization, never expected that he would now be in a similar position to Pisco.

"This is the list you are looking for." Conan pursed his lips, watched the card being put into Ireland's pocket, and secretly clenched his fists.

The opportunity to eliminate the organization's power is right in front of him, and he must not miss it this time.

"You know us pretty well, don't you?" Ireland glanced at him warily, thought about Tang Ze's face, and shook his head sarcastically, "No, maybe you are the one who was deceived by that guy, Kudo Shinichi."

Kumail was very close, but Kudo Shinichi was completely unaware of it.

When the truth is revealed, what kind of surprise and despair will appear on his face? If it weren't for the need to bring this guy to the boss, Ireland really wanted to tell all these things at this time.

However, it is not a big problem. We can tell him these things little by little after he has lost his usefulness.

Conan's expression instantly froze because of his name. After a moment of silence, he clenched his fists firmly and tried to control his emotions.

The more critical the moment, the more he must not lose his cool head. He must not panic at this time.

"Have you reported this to the organization?"

"...Of course not." Ireland gave him a sidelong glance.

The two people who came to assist him before and after, Vermouth and Kumail, both had a special liking for this little kid. As for Gin, who was directly responsible for connecting with him, he was the person directly responsible for this matter.

Forget about reporting it first. If he revealed in advance that he had discovered the other party's identity and was going to report the matter back to the organization, he was afraid that he would have six holes on his body as soon as he finished speaking.

After swallowing the bitterness of being surrounded by his teammates, Ireland still sneered: "I need you to be alive as evidence to prove Gin and the others' major mistake."

If he had told it in advance, Gin might have killed the kid first. Ireland thought about it and felt that he had been a good guy for once.

Although returning to the organization might mean you can't escape the fate of becoming a test subject, but being a test subject is better than having your entire family wiped out, right?

If he could prove his worth, Kudo Shinichi might still be alive and well. Aren't Vermouth and Kumail, who were also experimental subjects, also alive and well?

Feeling that he was a good man in the organization, Ireland did not feel any psychological burden when he reached out to beat up the elementary school student.

Conan, with his nerves tense, dodged violently backwards and was about to reach out to turn on the switch of his shoes when Ireland's extremely fast attack came in front of him again.

Oops, even if he wasn't a child, it would be a futile attempt to resist Ireland's well-trained killers with his personal strength...

Conan closed his eyes and instinctively adjusted his posture, ready to take the punch, when Ireland suddenly let out a cry of surprise, and the pain did not come for a long time.

He opened his eyes hastily, but what he saw was flying black hair.

"Ran..." Conan looked at this scene in surprise. He was surprised and moved at first, but when he came to his senses, his nerves tensed up again. "Why are you here?"

Mao Lilan kicked Ireland's arm away and stood in front of him. Hearing this, she frowned and said, "If Yuanzi hadn't seen me by chance, I wouldn't know where to find you. You bastard..."

Now was not the time to settle scores, she said, before she drew her attention back to counter Ireland's moves with all her might.

"Oh, the daughter of Maori Kogoro." Recognizing her at the first sight, Ireland couldn't help but sneer, and at the same time prepared to distract her attention so that he could pull out the gun from the gun bag, "You are also a poor guy who has been fooled. Do you know that the one behind you..."

"I know." Mao Lilan, who understood what he wanted to say, interrupted him and arched her back. "There's no need for you to sow discord."

Look at Karasawa, look at what is happening now, the risk Shinichi faces is real, and one wrong step could kill many people.

It was hard to tell whether this lie was well-intentioned or deliberate, but she had already accepted the reasons that Tang Ze had given explicitly or implicitly.

Just like the undercover agents, Shinichi needed an identity that would not arouse suspicion from others, so she had no objection.

"…What a nice bond," Ireland glanced at the equally unsurprised expression on the little boy behind her and raised an eyebrow again.

He said that something must have happened to Kumail.

If even an ordinary high school student could discover this fact, how could Kumail, who had been trained by the organization, not have discovered it?
Just wait, he’s going to wipe out all these bastards who only know how to hold their teammates back...!
With his ambition in mind, Ireland drew his gun very quickly.

However, Ran Maoli, who was standing opposite him, was faster than him.

She picked up the child behind her and rushed to the stairs without looking back, as if she didn't care at all about exposing her back to the other person.

Ireland was stunned and confused for a moment, then he took a few steps forward, ready to go around the corner of the stairwell and deal a fatal blow to this overconfident high school girl.

The next second, he saw a wheat-skinned young man clinging to the wall, as if waiting for him to appear, and punched him in the face.

Conan, who had seen how Kyogoku Makoto beat people, couldn't help but take a breath and tighten his neck even though he knew the person in front of him was a member of the organization.

Ireland was not aware of the specific circumstances under which Toru Adachi had contacted them in Izu.

This proves that he doesn't know Kyogoku Makoto either.

The champion of the youth group of the National Karate Competition, the one who could drag a sliding car with one palm, and the one who beat the murderer so hard that he has not regained consciousness yet, is Kyogoku Makoto.

So the next second, Ireland, who was hit hard, flew backwards and hit the railing behind him heavily, letting out a painful groan.

Although he didn't scream, looking at his appearance, it wasn't that he didn't want to scream, but that he couldn't scream at all...
