The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

"...A very interesting question." Raising his eyebrows, Tang Ze leaned against the wall beside him and asked with interest, "Why do you think so?"

"After leaving the building yesterday and knowing what was happening outside, I couldn't help but keep thinking, when did you go to Moritani Teiji's place and install the camera?"

Crossing his arms, Conan stared at the person in front of him who looked so leisurely that he deserved to be beaten, and counted them one by one.

"Then I discovered that when a few of us visited the exhibition room of Moritani Teiji, we left the garden for about half an hour. During this period, Kitagawa-kun was introduced to several patrons by Sonoko, because some of them made a decision on the spot. They signed a sponsorship agreement, so they temporarily borrowed Moritani Teiji's study, which means that he has left everyone's sight..." Thinking of Kitagawa Yusuke, Conan couldn't help but shook his head, "Moritani Teiji is indeed Impossible to realize.”

Even Suzuki Sonoko, who had been revolving around Kitagawa Yusuke throughout the entire event, failed to notice the gap caused by the short time spent in the house. At that time, Moritani Teiji, whose attention was entirely focused on Maori Ran, only found it difficult. will be bigger.

"Also, the first few bombs yesterday. You noticed Moritani Teiji and interfered with his actions. That means you wanted to intervene in this matter and prevent the destruction. Then this is the same as what you did yesterday. My attitude became somewhat ambivalent at first. Unless...you actually knew everything about my actions at that time."

Thinking of the circumstances under which he met Kitagawa Yusuke yesterday, Conan felt speechless.

If part of Joker's intelligence ability comes from his excellent acting ability, then Yusuke Kitagawa probably relies on his natural radio temperament.

It would be difficult for a normal person to imagine that a character like Kitagawa Yusuke could actually be a spy who comes to gather information...

Even now, when he was 90% sure that the other party was related to the Phantom Thieves, Conan still couldn't help but feel shaken when he thought of the calm look on his face, as if he who had doubts was the one with the problem.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many coincidences, and detectives never believed in small-probability events, Conan might have felt that he was too suspicious.

"So, your conclusion is...?" Tangze raised his eyebrows leisurely, looking at the subtle expression on Conan's face, he couldn't help but tease him.

No wonder the Kudo couple always like to play with him. It's quite interesting to see the serious and straight-faced elementary school students change their faces.

"Don't you admit it? I won't believe it if you don't admit it." Conan snorted and his face became even more disgusting. "I asked why Moritani Teiji mistook him for Kudo Shinichi. He was actually following me at the time. Behind you..."

Once the information that Kitagawa Yusuke is also a Phantom Thief of Heart is put in, all his actions can be reasonably explained.

Why do you treat such a dangerous situation like the bombing indifferently, without any sense of crisis or urgency? You exaggerate it with a purely neurotic explanation. If you think of it as a calm understanding of the development of the situation, then the matter is reasonable. many.

Also, the reason why he met Moritani Teiji, looking back on his words now, it was more like finding a different way to approach their target efficiently than a chance encounter.

The real process of the whole thing is probably that because he informed Joker of his itinerary, Moritani Teiji was put on the Phantom Thieves' investigation list. As a painter, Kitagawa Yusuke took advantage of his identity and met them on the way to the target.

After discovering that the person Moritani Teiji wanted to deal with was Kudo Shinichi, their subsequent plans included him.

So on the day Teiji Moritani launched the attack, as soon as he received the anonymous phone call, the Phantom Thieves, who had already installed cameras and other things, were keenly aware of the other party's movements, so they approached him who hurried to the scene...

The more he thought about it, the more logical and reasonable he became. Kitagawa Yusuke's melancholy and handsome face had a sinister and cunning filter on him.

"Meow--"

A meow made Conan's increasingly serious expression freeze for a moment.

He lowered his head and saw an all-too-familiar little Siamese cat turning lightly from the side of the corridor, rubbing the joker's trousers and twirling around, using the joker's black pants to sharpen its claws.

"This, this is not..." The tone went up an octave, Conan pointed directly at the cat, his tone was inexplicably sad and angry.

You also said you don’t know Yusuke Kitagawa! Isn’t this even pretending? I didn’t even plan to pretend it!

Karasawa bent down and spread his palms so that nekko could use his strength to climb up, letting the kitten climb onto his shoulders.

He knew that this was not a cat scratching its claws on his pants, but yesterday in the hall, nekko used to pull his scarf up and down. Now he couldn't find a place to climb, and he was pulling at it in confusion.

"I can't help it, Yusuke's dormitory is not easy to keep cats." After touching two soft cats, Karasawa led Conan to the familiar reception room, "Come in and talk."

"He is indeed one of your group. Is it fun to play tricks on me together?" Conan followed him angrily, and soon found that there were more things in the room than before.

Cat climbing frames, sisal for sharpening claws, cat toys, etc. are scattered on the floor of the room. It is not difficult to see that the owner here likes this new member. Kitagawa Yusuke is right, nekko really got it. Very well looked after.

I'm afraid this is the reason why Joker stood at the door talking for a long time and refused to let go. As soon as he walked in the door, his secret should be exposed.

"Well, Kitagawa Yusuke is a member of the Phantom Thieves of the Heart." Karasawa told the truth without any guilt.

Conan, who finally heard the other party relent, curled his lips: "So using that speaking style to get closer to the target is also a disguise designed by you..."

"Oh, that's not the case. Rather than being careful about disguise, he belongs to the talented group who is happy with the situation." Tang Ze said nonsensically.

So how do you plan to get closer to your target and rely on a conversation that will piss people off and cost them their lives?

Conan twitched his eyes: "...It's a bit too easy to just accept the situation."

"As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. If you hadn't known our situation in advance, and you were Moritani Teiji, would you have suspected that Kitagawa Yusuke was here to spy on you?"

After carefully thinking about the other person's appearance, which looked like he didn't seem to have any acting skills, Conan couldn't help but remain silent for a moment.

It’s really impossible to refute...

"You've made great progress by discovering Yusuke's problem, detective." He threw a can of iced coffee at him and sat in his usual seat, "As reward, tell me, what do you want from me? "

"Remuneration..." The corners of Conan's eyes twitched, and the corners of Conan's mouth twitched as he asked, "Could you be..."

"Yes, we bet whether you can find it or not. Thank you for allowing me to maintain my winning streak." Raising the cup in his hand, Tangze confirmed his guess, "I won't tell you the winnings. Anyway, thank you very much. ”

These guys...

Every time I come to Joker, I can experience a new version of speechlessness, and Conan feels like he is almost numb to it.

He was obviously here to reveal the secret and wanted to get the upper hand. Conan, who was overwhelming in terms of momentum, let out a sigh of relief and explained the reason why he discovered the problem in a boring way: "At the end of Moritani Teiji's tea party, he explained to himself, He was originally adopted by a painter since he was a child, but his teacher was involved in a scandal and imprisoned for plagiarizing his works..."
