Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 938 Treating People with Sincerity Tang Zezhao

In the gradually darkening night of the city, the white figure standing high on the top of Tsutenkaku is so conspicuous and dazzling.

The detectives who had realized the truth of the notice letter stared at the thief with his arms outstretched a hundred meters away, who was only vaguely visible in human form, and gritted their teeth secretly.

"Damn it, he got there first..."

Conan frowned because he was too late to stop Kaito Kid's attack, but Hattori Heiji, who knew Osaka better, took advantage of the terrain to look around, and paid attention to more things.

"The street lights were cut off, but the traffic lights were still running. The power of the infrastructure was well preserved. The only areas that were affected by the power outage were the business districts and hotels in the city. This was very targeted. How did he do it?"

If there really is a city-wide power outage, Kidd's method is actually easy to crack and municipal repairs are also easy to carry out.

It's nothing more than the entire city's main substation or cable being violently destroyed after being prepared in advance by the other party. This problem is easy to solve and prevent. They and the police simply did not solve the puzzle in a timely manner and failed to guard against this.

Hearing thunder in silence and being able to cut off a city's power supply or lighting so accurately and punctually is even more terrifying than the fancy magic itself.

Such precise power control and a grand "light show" were only intended to help Kaito Kidd find the temporary storage location prepared by the police. This was too...

"Kaito Kid, you're probably working in computer science, maintenance, or something like that, maybe an electrical engineer..." Hattori Heiji held his breath for a while and uttered these words.

Several hundred meters in the sky, Matsuda Jinping, who had posed enough, put down his hands and glanced speechlessly at his teammates below him.

"It's almost time, can we set off?"

To be honest, they had already skipped the question and got to the heart of the matter, affixing the transmitter to the treasure's body. He didn't understand the point of the two underage thieves getting together and whispering for so long and putting on such a show.

If you want to help Kidd steal the things, just let Kidd go directly to the place. If you are planning to do a wholesale sale of memory eggs like you did last time at Yuga Kyosuke's house, then you should let them go directly to the hall.

Is it interesting to do a nondescript imitation show here...

"I guess so. Seeing that Kidd's public notice has spread so far, it's a bit embarrassing to completely cancel his original plan. Let's take care of his feelings." Zhu Fujingguang, who was hanging lightly on the side with a hook, shrugged.

"Maybe. How should I put it? I don't really understand these teenagers who are always thinking about showing off..."

"The minors you mentioned are all geniuses who can fool everyone."

"Ha, now I understand Zero's feelings a little bit."

The two men were joking with each other, but their hands did not stop moving.

In an instant, Matsuda Jinpei changed into a phantom thief outfit and disappeared into the shadow of the tower top in a dark outfit. Morobushi Kagemitsu retracted the grappling hook in his hand in time and threw out the humanoid figure that had been prepared long ago.

The two of them no longer paid attention to the dummy that was flying away with the wind, and handed to Noah for remote control. They jumped down in unison, their figures disappeared in mid-air, and continued to fall. The next second, they fell into the net that had been set up long ago.

"Huh, no matter how many times I come, I still feel that jumping from this height is really too exciting." Lying in the net that was constantly shaking due to gravity, Jinpei Matsuda let out a breath.

Including the time he woke up on the same day, this was his fourth time bungee jumping between reality and the palace.

Although there are different teammates to ensure safety, this strong feeling of weightlessness is really pleasant to experience.

"Then you haven't experienced anything more exciting." Miyano Akemi, who was in charge of catching the players, squatted at the edge of the net and looked at the two teammates who fell in.

"Oh? Aren't Tokyo Tower and Tsutenkaku tall enough?" Upon hearing this, Jinpei Matsuda couldn't help but turn his head.

"The twin-tower skyscraper is almost 400 meters high." Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had also experienced it, couldn't help but add.

"These are all high-rise buildings in reality. The cognitive world itself is something that subverts cognition..." Miyano Akemi recalled the past and shook her head, "Okay, get up. I think Tang Ze's goal has been basically achieved. We should go and 'inspect' it."

When the two detectives rushed out like arrows after the white figure, the nervous Kanchuan Ryuya grabbed the person in his hand and finally found a suitable place.

He looked around furtively, lowered his voice and confirmed again: "You said that you have the internal structure diagram of the Memory Egg..."

"Yes, that's right..." Natsumi Kosaka broke free from his hand and took a step back in panic. She only calmed down a little when she saw her butler quickly following her.

This was the exchange condition that the blue-haired young man had brought her in. He promised that if someone came to her later and said they had some inside information and wanted to look at the photocopy of the design in her hand, and she cooperated well and let the other party read it carefully, he would guarantee to introduce her to President Suzuki and let her personally confirm the situation of the Egg of Memory...

Natsumi Kosaka didn't know why he did this, but after walking around the venue, she felt more anxious than before she came in.

If she had originally been extremely excited because she had the chance to see with her own eyes the treasure made by her ancestors, now she had heard with her own ears how much attention this long-lost egg had attracted, and that it might be resold at any time in an art transaction, and they would never see each other again. She had already become extremely anxious.

Not to mention the price they estimated.

The Kosaka family does have a pretty good fortune. Relying on the protection and property left by their ancestors, they can be considered a small wealthy family. Although they can no longer afford to live in the castle, they can still maintain regular maintenance, which is already commendable.

But 800 million, 1 billion, 1.5 billion... these figures are still beyond her ability. In other words, let alone her, even for legitimate listed companies, there are only a few that can come up with such cash flow in one go. It is an impossible delusion to want to get it through normal trading channels.

Now, she could only hope that the Suzuki family would be willing to give her a discount on the price, or exchange it for some real estate or other related items, considering her connection with the treasure...

Her mind once again drifted towards the egg hidden in the exhibition hall, and she completely ignored Hanchuan Long whose movements were almost frantic.

The power in the venue was cut off as the city was experiencing a power outage. Although backup power is being prepared, it will still take some time.

The art gallery was dark, and even on the small terrace that Kanchuan Long had finally found, he could only barely see the contents on the paper with the help of the moonlight and a safety night light.

Hanchuan Long had no patience to wait for this, so he immediately turned on the camera in his hand. Regardless of the battery consumption, he used the fill light above to carefully examine these large-scale process drawings eagerly.

The more he examined, the more excited he became, because everything Kitagawa Yusuke had just revealed in his words was true.

The value of this egg lies not only in the royal sculpture made of pure gold and the music box-like mechanism inside, but also in the more sophisticated structure inside.

It is difficult to understand its specific function just by looking at the drawings - it is more likely that the people who made it at the time hid and destroyed this part of the secret - but it is enough to prove that what Kitagawa Yusuke said is true.

This egg, as the last one in the entire Emperor's Easter Egg series, was born at the end of the dynasty, and naturally became a place for exiled nobles to hide secrets.

There is a secret hidden inside that may be more precious than the entire egg...

As if aware of something, Tang Ze, who was walking lightly in the darkness, turned his head and glanced in his direction.

Almost at the same time, Hanchuan Long finally finished carefully checking a page of drawings and turned to the next page. A piece of paper stuck in between slipped out as the two pages were pulled apart, and flew far away in the night wind in an instant.

Hanchuan Long raised his head and looked blankly in the direction where the paper flew.

The faint moonlight did not allow him to see the words clearly, but the colors and patterns he could distinguish at a glance made his pupils dilate uncontrollably.

"That, that is..." Hanchuan Long took a step back and almost dropped the paper in his hand.

The small red and black card seemed to be weightless, fluttering lightly in the wind, like a fallen leaf, falling to the ground.

"Here they come." Standing between the antique shelves and destroying another batch of bottles and jars, Miyano Akemi raised her head.

A huge gift box slowly appeared in the glass display case surrounded by stacked, maze-like antique shelves.

"It's time to take action. Notify Tang Ze——"

"Hurry, faster Hattori!"

"I'm holding on tight!" Hattori Heiji hastily put his helmet on his head as his short hair was blown wildly by the strong wind. "Damn it, it's turned three times. Is this guy deliberately playing tricks on us?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

After all, one is flying in the sky without any obstacles, while the other has to constantly shuttle between buildings and roads on the ground. Even the Science Motorcycle Man with amazing driving skills has been left behind by Kidd by about a hundred meters and is now chasing him closely.

I don’t know if he discovered the pursuers on the ground, but Kidd today was not as light and direct as usual. Instead, he flew back and forth in a Z shape following the wind, making Hattori Heiji miserable.

"It's hard to say. He is the cunning Kid after all..." Conan, who was holding his waist and keeping observation from high above, answered calmly.

"Damn it, we'll have to catch this guy sooner or later! Speaking of Mingzhi, will he really not come?"

"Ha, obviously you're having a great time at the party..."

"Tsk, you really are here just to collect advertising fees."

While complaining about their unprofessional colleagues, the two men finally determined Kidd's flight destination and sprinted towards the small hotel with a lit sign.

In the hotel ahead, Shimabukuro Kimie and Asai Narimi, who had finished work early, took off the ghost masks on their faces, pulled the wooden box out from Nakamori Ginzo's particularly uneasy hands, and smiled at each other.

"When I prepared this mask, I never thought that there would be a day when it would really come in handy." Shimabukuro Kimie tossed the black mask in her hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Ms. Mingmei might be more comfortable with this kind of work." After letting Noah confirm the transmitter, Asai Narumi closed the lid of the box again, holding it in his hand and shrugged.

Shimabukuro Kimie opened her mouth and quickly closed it again.

You know what, Miyano Akemi really did wear a mask and go out to rob a bank, so this can't be considered as saying something bad about her.

"Well, the detectives are here. It's time for us to go to the next one."

"Let's go."

Two people jumped out of the window, one on the left and one on the right. The moment their feet left the ground, they turned into flying hems of phantom thief costumes and melted into the night in the next moment.

So, when the breathless Conan and Hattori Heiji broke open the door, they could only see the police officers from the Second Investigation Section lying on the ground, all with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

"He succeeded..." Conan gritted his teeth, "In just a short while."

"Keep chasing, he can't get far!"

While the two men were frantically dialing the phone to notify someone to come to the hotel to collect the body for the Second Investigation Section, oh no, to send it to the hospital for examination, they climbed onto the motorcycle again and chased after the figure soaring in the night.

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling glass, Kuroba Kaito glimpsed a shadow with his eyes and tilted his head.

This was his "deal" with Tang Ze this time, the so-called "exchange crime".

He goes to complete what the Phantom Thief of Hearts should do, and the Phantom Thief of Hearts comes to complete his.

"It seems quite easy."

"Huh? What do you mean by relaxed?" Hoshikawa Teru's voice suddenly sounded behind him, startling Kuroba Kaito so much that he shrank his shoulders and almost spilled the juice in his hand.

He turned his head and looked speechlessly at the other person's eyes that were glowing faintly in the dark. He wanted to complain that the other person walked without making any sound, but when he remembered the guy's code name, he swallowed the rest of the words.

Goro Akechi without disguise, AKA Teru Hoshikawa, the code name of the thief is Shade.

Although their code names are indeed not very particular, they are always related to personal abilities or background stories. During the brief contact, Kuroba Kaito, who has always been confident in his observation ability, is very sure that this guy's strength in some areas is beyond the scope of ordinary humans. The fact that he walks without making any sound is most likely not due to his footsteps, but something else.

"Where is your boss?" After confirming his identity, Kuroba Kaito turned back and asked casually.

This is actually nonsense. He knows a little about Tang Ze's style of doing things.

In any case, even if the target is just a small character who can barely fill the gap, when the Phantom Thieves really have to gather for action, unless there are mission restrictions, Tang Ze himself must rush to the scene to participate in the battle. Now that he can't find anyone, there is only one answer.

The darkness he created to find his target just made it easier for these thieves who were also lurking in the dark. Tang Ze must have left now.

Xingchuan Hui looked at him in confusion, then raised his finger and pointed in a direction in the air.

That was exactly the white shadow that Kuroba Kaito had just captured in the air while looking far away.

Kuroba Kaito took a second to react and his eyes widened.

“Huh? He, he really went into battle on his own?! I was just talking—”

"Our boss is not like you." Xingchuan Hui took a sip of juice and replied indifferently, "He doesn't play tricks and treats people with sincerity."

"what?!"
