The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

"Refund the commission fee? Senior Maori, I don't quite understand what you mean. Is there something I didn't do well? As for the price, I also understand that you are now a well-known detective, even if you have additional requirements... "

"Miss Tokiwa, I think you understand what I mean." Mouri Kogoro interrupted Mio Tokiwa seriously, "There is no need to test, I really have no intention of taking the opportunity to blackmail you for a higher price. I'm here I have conducted a preliminary investigation in the past few days, and I have informed you of the conclusion. It is impossible to escape from the current predicament unscathed. "

Although Kogoro Mouri had no intention of fully assisting Mio Tokiwa in tripping Ogi Iwamatsu from the beginning, he still communicated the situation with Mio Tokiwa several times out of professionalism after accepting the commission.

First of all, many of Ohgi Iwamatsu's methods are illegal and illegal. This is a foregone conclusion. There is no need for detectives to take action. Any ordinary person with simple social experience can detect that the money, power and interests gathered by this guy have long been transcended. The level of ordinary politicians.

But the question is, didn't Mio Tokiwa find Oki Isomatsu because of his ability and unscrupulousness in this area?

What she wants is a politician who will do anything to achieve the goal regardless of means. It is best to be greedy for money, lustful, easy to bribe, and can solve problems with krypton gold without spending additional network resources. At the beginning, she will find Omu Yansong to help promote These are all necessary conditions for skyscraper plans.

But as things progressed step by step, Oki Iwasatsu's appetite grew bigger and bigger, and he even set his sights directly on Mio Tokiwa himself, making her unable to resist and eager to get away.

Therefore, Mouri Kogoro also expressed euphemistically in previous communications that if you have to find out what happened to Oki Isomatsu, it would be impossible not to involve yourself.

"I also said that as long as I can find a suitable way to break the situation, even if I pay some appropriate price, I can accept it..." Mio Tokiwa took a deep breath and tried to control the trembling of his fingertips.

She is now standing on the 68th floor of Building B, looking through the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the room at the building opposite.

It was a building that she had worked hard to build for the benefit of the group.

This is her hard work and her current foundation. Standing in her current position, she seems to have a choice, but in fact she has no way out.

Earlier, the Tokiwa Group had no way out. She just tried her best to support the collapse of the building for a while.

But now, the bright red logo, which had been daubed on by someone unknown when, hung there so dazzlingly, indicating that her group, her building, and even herself had become the prey of others.

It would be a lie to say that I am not afraid, but if I feel fear now, it is already too late.

"Miss Tokiwa, I don't know what you are insisting on. The things printed on your building have already given you a lot of answers." Mouri Kogoro sighed and softened his tone slightly, "I can't say that I will fight with them. But because of my experience, I did have a lot of contact with those people. Since Representative Oki is indeed guilty, I think the Phantom Thieves will use their methods to make him pay, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

"But, but... in that case, our group's problem..." Mio Tokiwa's breathing quickened for a moment, and she quickly realized her gaffe and recovered, "Many of Representative Ohgi's industries are already highly related to us. , If he is really defeated because of this Phantom Thieves, a lot of losses will be completely irreparable. "

"Jiban-senpai..." Mouri Kogoro shook his head helplessly and did not answer her blunt explanation.

Everyone knows the real reason.

As the blue-haired boy said in the afternoon, no one can be sure that the target of the Phantom Thieves is really just a specific person. Maybe the entire banquet guests are within their hunting range.

The most likely outcome was not that Damu Yansong was defeated, but that they packed up and went to camp together.

"In short, I really can't do anything about Representative Oki's problem. With the intervention of the Phantom Thieves, he will soon no longer be a threat to you. Sorry, I will refund the upfront fee according to your payment method."

Mouri Kogoro calmed down and firmly expressed his refusal again. He no longer listened to Tokiwa Mio's eager persuasion on the other end of the phone and hung up the communication.

After saying all these words, Mouri Kogoro watched his daughter busily looking for materials and preparing to go to the bank to refund Tokiwa Mio's deposit. Suddenly, he felt like he was in another world.

If he hadn't been half-dragged and half-dragged to comply with the strict regulations prepared by Eri's daughter and Karasawa, this deposit might have been in his hands just like the entrustment fees for large commissions in the past. He threw it into the card game table or the racetrack at will. When he discovered that the case was full of problems and was not as easy to handle as expected, he had spent all his deposit and had no time to escape.

It's hard to say whether this should be attributed to this painful supervision, but it feels good to have the right to refuse and not let the situation get out of control because of temporary desires. It makes him vaguely recall that he was still a child. When the police.

The work is busy, the salary is not generous, but it is fulfilling and promising, and the ambitious young self may not want to live such a messy life now.

Finding threads in this mess may not solve the whole mess, but it gives people a real sense of change and hope.

Is it really possible for people to enter a new stage when they reach middle age? He wasn't sure before, but now, he thinks it wouldn't be a bad idea to give it a try.

"……Um?"

"What's wrong? Has the situation changed?" Toru Amuro, who was skillfully checking the circuit and stuffing new things in the middle, keenly caught the slightly surprised movement coming from the other end of the call and confirmed it aloud.

"Nothing, I saw something strange. When did you find a part-time job as a plumber, Mr. Amuro." Karasawa waved his hand and dismissed the rank up interface that suddenly popped up.

Forget it, it wasn't the first time that his coop had a sudden enlightenment for no apparent reason. For someone as big as Mouri Kogoro, if he suddenly thought of something, he didn't have to report it to him.

"I've been doing it for a long time. It's a job that doesn't require full-time work. With a little exposure, you can get a part-time job casually."

"Well, it's indeed quite convenient."

"I want to confirm with you how the installation is progressing over there. Do you need me to continue to go to the upper level to check?"

"The explosives on the 66th floor have been installed. In the case of Building B, a direct break of the contact bridge may affect the evacuation of the crowd. After seeking advice from consultants, I plan to readjust the detonation sequence, so I will only install it for the time being. The key tipping point below the 40th floor.”

"...It feels really weird to hear you call him a consultant."

"Shouldn't this be a very common practice? To exchange information or technology with criminals who have been jailed. This is called a 'plea bargain', right?"

Toru Amuro, who was buried in a pipe line, couldn't hold back after hearing this.
