The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

Conan felt flattered when he saw the caller ID and answered the phone.

Although it hadn't been long since the last time he had contact with the Phantom Thieves, this phone call still made Conan feel like he was in another world.

It seems that I haven’t contacted joker directly for a long time...

E-mails are sent back and forth, but unless Joker has something to contact him, he usually doesn't reply to e-mails very diligently. Sometimes he responds every few hours, sometimes even a day, which makes it difficult for people to feel that they are in contact with each other.

"It's rare that you would take the initiative to call me." Conan whispered while avoiding Mao Lilan's sight.

Joker's very interesting laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"Why, if I don't bother you, will it actually make you feel left out, Detective-kun? I thought you would feel happy inside."

"Although things will become very complicated as soon as you guys come here, I'm glad to say that..." Conan pursed his lips and asked strangely, as if remembering something, "Hey, haven't you always been paying close attention to Tang Ze?" Is there any movement? He has done so many things before, why haven’t you seen any action?”

He was attacked again, lost his memory again, and it happened under their noses - he had not forgotten that he was made into the protagonist of the wedding dressed up in Halloween style. Regarding the appearance of Futo Kyousuke and the disaster that Karasawa suffered as a result, the Phantom Thieves made no news at all, which was really strange.

"Since you can find the culprit, how do you know that we didn't take action?" Joker said mysteriously, "Maybe you just passed us by that day..."

Conan opened his mouth, and just as he was about to complain about this guy who didn't like to talk directly when he had something to say, the image of Karasawa holding the sticker sent by the puppet suddenly flashed in his mind, and he was in a daze.

Could it be that……

"Okay, let's get down to business." I don't know what he discovered from his silence. Joker laughed a few more times before turning the topic to the purpose of his call. "You are also at the 'Benkei' Hot Spring." Hotel, right?”

"You're here again." Conan said without any surprise, "Uncle Maori is just here to attend the class reunion this time. You shouldn't even do such a thing..."

As he spoke, his speaking speed gradually slowed down.

Generally speaking, when the joker takes the initiative to find him, it means that there is probably another "changed heart" target around him.

And those who can be targeted by them are basically...

"It seems that you understand what I want to say." Joker's voice came over calmly, confirming his guess, "For no reason, why would I ask you to inform me of Mr. Detective Mori's itinerary or commission? I have to say that following you detectives, our efficiency has become much higher. How can chasing you be effective if we check so many names and characters on the website every day?"

"...So, who is it? Is he an old classmate of Uncle Maori?" Conan, who always felt that he had heard similar complaints more than once, was speechless for a moment, and forced himself to ignore the other party's acceptance speech, "The situation is serious enough that you need to To what extent can I cooperate?”

Generally speaking, if the Phantom Thieves of Heart can be solved by themselves, it is unlikely that Joker will contact him - such as the previous holographic game conference.

If the source of the information is himself, the joker will politely give some responses or answers when he keeps asking questions or approaches the point. After the matter is over, he will also appropriately disclose some feedback to himself on the results of the handling - such as the recent incident. Moonshadow Island Incident.

It should be said that although they did not refuse to communicate with him, Joker and he had always maintained a sense of distance. Even if they recognized each other as friends, they did not hesitate to raise their hands to each other, but the deep information about their actions and purposes , there are very few opportunities for interoperability.

"The situation may be considered serious. Let me look at the time...well, it's already 11 o'clock. If we don't interfere, there will be victims before about 6 o'clock tonight." Joker is confident and confident. He replied firmly.

"Huh? How accurate?" Conan's expression couldn't help but become strange. He gently poked his head out and looked into the heated room where he was holding an old photo album and chatting.

Is there anyone in this group of people who has the intention to kill others?

However, they are classmates who have known each other for more than ten years. It is a bit difficult to accept that there is a conflict in private that can make people murderous. However, after thinking about it carefully, it is considered common sense.

Judging from the cases he has handled and witnessed, the closer the social circle is, the more likely it is that problems will arise.

After everyone's interests intersect too much, the intricate relationships and emotions behind it are difficult to predict just by looking at the surface.

The rare thing about Joker is that his ability allows him to find and extinguish the fuse in time before everything breaks out...

"Because time is the key to his plan this time. According to your plan, we are going to go out to watch the fireworks festival together at 6pm, right?" He easily threw out a relatively private message, and joker said casually, " It’s not so unpredictable that he would want to use this to create an alibi.”

"You're eavesdropping again..." Although he was used to his behavior, Conan was still speechless when he heard him so frankly stating that he was eavesdropping.

No matter who he was chasing, Uncle Maori, him or Karasawa, the feeling that anything he said could be heard at any time was still very subtle.

"This is the intelligence ability of the Phantom Thief. Did you meet me on the first day, little detective?" Sure enough, Joker confirmed his statement very calmly, as if he didn't feel there was anything wrong with his approach, "In short, although the techniques used The more fancy it is, the more traces and flaws it may leave behind, and those who are trying to escape guilt will inevitably come up with many strange ideas."

"...So, who is it? What can I do?" Conan asked as his voice softened.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to add to your workload. It's a rare break, so just relax. I'm here to invite you to see our results."

"Watching...?" Conan was stunned, squinting and looking around the room suspiciously, looking for any traces of suspicious little cards.

"The link has been sent to you. Why don't you come and see your old friend's appearance? Let's wait and see."

"By the way, it's rare that everyone is here. Do you want to play another game?" He was flipping through the photo album and recalling several people one by one. He happened to find a group photo taken five years ago. Kazushi Nakamichi suggested. , "It's still early, just treat it as an entertainment project."

Horikoshi Yumi squinted at the cheerful smile on his face and let out an almost inaudible snort.

"I'm going to beat you up." After gathering her clothes, Yumi Horikoshi stopped looking at the thick photo album and stood up and said, "I suddenly feel tired and I want to go back and rest."

"Yumi..." Feeling that the atmosphere dropped again because of her sudden words, Ayashiro Noriko helplessly tried to dissuade her, but she couldn't even touch Horikoshi Yumi's sleeves.

One by one, they have to step into the next stage of their lives. She has become the one who stayed in the same place. The more she recalls, the more she feels that she is getting older...
