The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

What does Kumail mean to Belmode?

Before getting to know him, this question was easy to answer.

A child who doesn't know what he means, a miserable and hateful villain, an elusive answer, and a colleague whom he has never met.

Although the boss gave her some hints, the general idea was that the organization would change the direction of the experiment and no longer focus on drug research and development, because the emergence of Kumail solved some long-standing problems in cognitive psychology, which is equivalent to It was telling her that she was about to be freed.

But she didn't really have any affection or protective thoughts towards Kumail.

On the contrary, she would kill him without hesitation if necessary.

She didn't feel like she was killing anyone. From her point of view, it was a relief to let a young man who was about to follow in her footsteps die without knowing anything.

This may be arrogant or extreme, but this is what Belmode thinks.

However, now, this name has corresponded to too many things.

He is an evil and self-aware child, convinced that he is heinous and has never made any excuse for his crimes; he is a cunning and keen hunter who can accurately hit the weakness of every prey, with ease, cruelty and precision.

But he was so soft, sad, and easily satisfied. He was easily captured by some light and warmth, and he willingly lowered his head and became a helpless clown like her.

So now Kumel, for her...

"...Tell me about your conditions." After closing his eyes, Belmode began to use the blunt serrations of the table knife to slowly cut the cold chicken on the plate.

She lowered her head.

Toru Amuro's eyes widened slightly and he looked at this scene with slight surprise.

He used Kumel, also known as Karasawa, as a threat to Belmod, and succeeded.

Listen, listen, does this make sense?

He couldn't help but start replaying the conversation between himself and Tang Ze in his mind.

"What does it mean that you can be used to threaten Belmod? Is the relationship between you two already good enough?"

"No, not really. She probably doesn't fully trust me now, and she still needs to keep working hard."

"Then why would she accept such a threat? No matter how you think about it, it's unreasonable."

"Oh, let's not delve into this issue. It's not surprising that a guy who is not very happy in the organization has a twisted mentality, right? At least in her eyes, 'Kumail' is a person whose stance is highly similar to hers, and Still a minor, that’s enough.”

"This sounds too weird..."

"Don't ask, it's just that Belmode likes children very much. Look at what I do, that's it!"

Such a strange logic and such a strange development process should not be established no matter how you look at it.

...But it just happened to be successful!

Does this guy Karasawa have any special attacks on older women?

His pupils were shocked for a moment, and Toru Amuro put down his wine glass and adjusted his mood.

Forget it, no matter how this guy Tang Ze did it, since he can do it, it's not a bad thing after all.

"Don't be so serious. Let's talk about business. Mutual benefit and win-win results. Harmony makes money." Looking at the waiter serving the fragrant meal, he put on his usual bourbon fake smile, "Recently, I made some moves, and you must have heard about it. What do you think of 'Rum'?"

Belmode raised his eyelids again and stared at Toru Amuro's expression seriously.

Looking out of the transparent ring-shaped glass of the restaurant, the setting sun slowly falls into the silhouette of the building. Looking down from above, it is like a blood-red sun wheel pierced by countless steel bars and concrete.

Tokyo night has arrived.

She opened her lips lightly.

"Rum...a wine that, for me, is spicy and delicate. What, are you interested in giving it a try?"

----

"Maoli, I asked for you, there is no rum on the ship, brandy would be good too!"

"Hush, shush -" Hearing the loud voice of Samezaki Shimaji, Mouri Kogoro suddenly became nervous and made signs of silence in a panic. At the same time, he hurriedly turned around and looked at the sunset standing on the bow of the ship. of three children.

Huh, it seems like I didn’t hear it.

"What's wrong?" Samezaki Shimaji walked to him and looked at the direction of his gaze in confusion. He didn't find anything unusual. He looked strangely at Mouri Kogoro up and down.

Aren't those the children he brought on board? Feeling nervous for no reason.

This expression was quite familiar to him.

Megure and the others sneaked out to drink, and this was pretty much what they looked like when they answered the phone from their wife.

"Uh, haha, I recently had some problems with my liver and am quitting drinking. If they heard me..." Mouri Kogoro touched the back of his head and explained reluctantly.

This sentence is indeed not a lie. After he drank secretly many times and Mao Lilan took away his bank card, passbook, and even the real estate registration rights information (that is, the permanent property certificate of the house), he thought that he was too indifferent to his body. Mao Lilan, who didn't care about him, took him to a new clinic after consultation, and successfully concluded that if he didn't stop drinking within half a year, his liver would really be hopeless.

He wasn't sure whether this was his true physical condition, or whether it was that Shinde Tomaki had exaggerated his condition under the instruction of several children... It had to be said that it did make him drink less secretly.

If he hadn't met his old boss today and couldn't refuse his hospitality, he probably wouldn't have considered drinking.

As he said that, he took a few more glances in that direction.

"I'm the king of the world!" Mao Lilan stood at the front of the ship, facing the sea breeze and the setting sun. She couldn't help but spread her hands, imitating the movements in the Titanic, and let out a hearty laugh.

The corners of Conan's mouth twitched as he followed her.

Can this be learned on a boat? Wouldn't it feel unlucky?

"Why are you still standing there? Go over and hug her." Tang Ze, who was leaning on the railing and looking at the sea, said suddenly.

"Huh?" Conan was stunned, not understanding what Tang Ze meant.

"People are already playing Titanic. If you don't go up and U jump I jump, you're a bit ignorant." Karasawa turned his head and looked at his height, and suggested kindly, "Is it out of reach? I need to hold you. Get up?"

"Tangze, it's almost enough, you..." The primary school student, who was ridiculed in many directions, endured it for a while, but still clenched his fists.

"Hahaha..." Tang Ze, who had finished teasing the children, stretched out his hand and interrupted Mao Lilan, who was intoxicated in the sunset atmosphere. "I just seemed to hear something. Uncle Mao Li is going to have a drink with that old man."

"Huh?" Mao Lilan's ears perked up, and she immediately quit the literary mode, raised her eyebrows, and turned towards the restaurant, "I told you that you can't drink anymore! Dad!"

Moori Kogoro, who was crouching and trying to reduce his presence, secretly walking toward the restaurant, suddenly felt his back stiffen.
