The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

Miyano Akemi lowered her head and couldn't help but ponder absentmindedly.

Hakuba Tantei is one of the most capable among this group of young high school detectives. According to Karasawa's evaluation system, the top one is undoubtedly Kudo Shinichi (Noah thinks this is biased, but Karasawa insists), followed by Hakuba Tantei and Hattori Heiji. As for Hakuba Tantei himself, compared to a pure armchair detective or a lone ranger, he is an elite who pays more attention to integrating resources and can even build his own database, in investigations against large organizations, the role he plays is even greater than the first two.

In other words, he is an investigative genius with outstanding abilities. It may not be a coincidence that the white horse detective who was tracking down the zoo had an intersection with the Tangze couple at some point.

"The zoo is also involved in their affairs?" Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned instinctively.

The troubles of one organization are already big enough, but if you add an unknown international thieves or assassin organization that may also have special abilities, the pressure will be doubled.

"I guess it's because of the alloy." Asai Narimi, who was flipping through the information, put down the file in his hand and recalled the events he had heard before. "If I remember correctly, the brooch that Miss Shiho gave to Karasawa was not collected by the organization later. They were the 'meteorite alloy with special radiation' that the Karasawa couple bought at an auction in the early days in order to treat their son..."

"Well, this explanation makes more sense." Zhu Fu Jingguang nodded slowly. "The zoo doesn't know what happened to the Tang Ze family. Ever since cognitive science showed its true power, the Tang Ze couple has been under house arrest by the organization. From their perspective, this couple of scientists bought the X-alloy, published some academic monographs on cognitive science, and then quickly disappeared from the world..."

Tang Ze, who was leaning against the wall listening to their discussion, shook his head after hearing his summary.

"No, the connection between everything may be deeper than that."

Others may not know, but Tang Ze is extremely sensitive to the timelines of both sides.

He is now in the first year of Conan, where the plot has already begun. 8 years ago, it was the time when the famous magician Toichi Kuroba "died" in a stage accident. It was also the time when Karasawa himself suddenly recovered from his high-functioning autism, which led to the organization's attention paid to the research of the Karasawa couple. The two of them began to be intentionally controlled and imprisoned by the organization.

Thinking of this, Tang Ze's eyes flickered slightly.

"Give me a little more time. I'll find out what Scoobbin knows."

At almost the same time, a similar conversation was taking place in the cabin on the other side of the corridor.

"Currently, the most popular guess about Scobin's identity is that she is Russian or of Slavic descent. Scobin's obsession with the Romanov dynasty has reached a very pathological level. After all, most bandits are more interested in economic value and make a living by looting. But the treasures that have passed through Scobin's hands almost never flow into the black market. This is another reason why there is still no clue to Scobin's identity."

After analyzing it this way, Hattori Heiji clenched the ballpoint pen in his hand and drew a heavy circle on the paper.

"She is active all over the world, always following in the footsteps of Baowu. It is not surprising that such a character can speak multiple languages ​​to disguise her identity. On the contrary, because she is in Japan, her appearance is too prominent, so she has to fabricate a Chinese background identity. As she said herself, China is a multi-ethnic country. There are indeed few ethnic minorities, but they do exist..."

As he was speaking, he noticed that the eyes of the people around him were turning to him. He couldn't help but feel a vein bulging on his forehead and clenched the pen in his hand.

"Why are you looking at me? I just have Ryukyu blood in my family..."

"Ahem." Conan retracted his somewhat rude gaze, "Anyway, I understand what you mean. Just like... well, just like Mr. Amuro Toru downstairs, when he said he was Japanese, it would arouse some suspicion, but a small number of samples do exist."

"...Anyway," Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes, ignoring Hakuba's attempt to laugh, "Be careful with her. She followed us this time, maybe to make it easier to take action along the way, but Ms. Kosaka suddenly provided another clue, which allowed her to see the possibility of obtaining two Easter eggs at once, so she is still holding back."

"Before discussing this, Tang Ze's situation might be a bit dangerous right now." Bai Ma twirled the pen in his hand and suddenly said, "Before arriving at the castle in Yokosuka, there's actually no need to worry about the safety of the Egg of Memory, but now that Tang Ze has discovered her secret, that may not be the case."

Conan and Hattori Heiji exchanged glances and jumped up at the same time.

I almost forgot how many accidents the keywords "Tangze + cruise travel" might have caused. When Tangze arrived on the ship, it was as if his physique that made him easy to be targeted had been epically enhanced. He never missed his target.

Before the cruise ship docks, please pay more attention to Tangze's safety.

After the two reckless detectives ran out, the white horse detective picked up the scattered documents on the table, walked to the window of the cabin, looked at the sea view outside the window in the dusk, and slowly exhaled.

The two of them would be overly nervous because they don't know enough about Tang Ze's situation, but Bai Ba Tan certainly wouldn't.

What we really need to worry about, and should worry about, is whether Scobin, the vicious thief who has been rampant internationally for many years, will be killed by some guys in the dark because he has the intention to kill Tang Ze without authorization.

If I remember correctly, Akechi Goro's room is right next to Urase Qinglan's...

Pu Siqinglan, who locked the door tightly, was more nervous than they had imagined at this moment. The surging murderous intent almost flowed out of her gray eyes and swallowed up the night outside the window.

She stood by the window, holding onto the windowsill outside, staring at the seabirds circling around the boat with an inquiring gaze.

Having been a shooter for many years, she was very confident in her eyesight and could certainly tell what those birds were.

In addition to the circling seagulls, she clearly noticed a few scattered birds far away from the flock of seagulls.

She guessed that they were probably white doves, like the ones that Kaito Kidd often used in his escape magic.

Compared to other thieves who are proficient in violence and firearms, Kaito Kid is like a real magician. He can use vision to set traps, use fancy magic tricks to cover up his tracks, and complete the trick of escaping.

It was perfectly natural for such a magician to use his pigeons to gather intelligence and monitor ships.

Therefore, if she wanted to find an opportunity to see Tang Ze alone, she didn't need to get entangled with those high school students. She only needed to...

She wiped the barrel of the gun in her hand, changed into light clothes, curled the corners of her mouth, and slowly aimed at the birds flying in the sky.

"Hey, hey..." Kuroba Kaito, who was watching this scene through the monitor, could no longer sit still and stood up all of a sudden. "It's okay to play with my pigeons, but you can't let them get hurt, otherwise I..."

"Don't worry." Xingchuan Hui slapped him back, "Tang Ze knows his limits."

"I--"

Just before Pu Si Qinglan pulled the trigger and shot down one of them in an attempt to lure out Kaito Kidd, a figure climbed up to the highest deck and stretched out his hand towards the sky.

The white dove that was targeted by Pu Siqinglan and was about to die suddenly seemed to break free from its restraints and fell towards the man's raised hand.

After missing the first shot, Pu Siqinglan quickly caught sight of the figure holding the railing with almost half of his body sticking out through the scope. He then switched to a sniper and carefully aimed in that direction.

The white dove landed on the other person's finger, leaned over and pecked the man's nose intimately. The light from the guest room below illuminated the lower half of his face.

It was undoubtedly Tang Ze.

Pu Siqinglan sneered, fastened the rope around her waist, and jumped out of the window lightly.

Using the force of the force, she jumped to a more convenient position. She determined the wind direction and speed through the flag on top of the boat and quickly adjusted a suitable sniping point. Looking at the young man in the crosshairs who was still playing with the pigeons and had no idea what was happening, the corners of her mouth curled up.

"Go to hell, you little thief who loves to pry into other people's secrets..."

He aimed at the opponent's right eye again. At the moment of pulling the trigger, Pu Siqinglan suddenly recalled what happened the day before, and the feeling of swelling and pain in the eye seemed to come again.

Her fingertips couldn't help but tremble again as she recalled the severe pain, but in the end, she still pulled the trigger again in despair.

A bright silver flash passed before his eyes. Conan, who was running towards the top deck of the ship, turned his head sharply. When he realized what it might be, his face changed immediately.

"Tangze, be careful--" He took two steps to the top of the boat and instinctively issued a warning. He caught the trace of the incoming bullet and felt the crazy secretion of adrenaline. He once again quickened his pace to sprint towards Tangze.

If it was Scobin... No, at least he could have diverted his sight and avoided fatal damage...

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Tang Ze, who had his back to them, paused for two seconds, as if he just realized who was behind him. He turned his head blankly and revealed his face.

Of course, the face was intact. Not to mention being hit, there was not even a scratch, as if the bullet just observed was an illusion.

Conan, who thought he would witness the moment he was hit, was stunned, stopped suddenly and almost tripped himself.

"What's wrong?" Teasing the white dove perched on his finger, Tang Ze looked at the two people who were running and sweating, and showed just the right amount of confused expression.

While the two detectives were stunned, a small "plop" sound came from the side of the boat, as if something fell into the water. The sound was naturally drowned out by the strong sea breeze and disappeared quietly into the darkness.

When Conan remembered to hold on to the railing and look outside, he could only see the lights on and the closed windows in the guest rooms below.

"Strange..." Conan muttered to himself.

Pu Siqinglan, who had pulled the window shut, covered her right eye tightly, not caring about the sniper rifle that had fallen into the sea. She suppressed the scream that she wanted to scream out instinctively because of the severe pain, curled up under the windowsill, and took rapid, deep breaths.

Her head was buzzing, and it took her three or four seconds to finally free herself from the pain and begin to recall everything that had just happened.

She was definitely not mistaken. The moment the bullet hit the other person, that person turned around and gave a provocative sneer in the direction of her sniper scope, as if declaring war.

Pu Siqinglan loosened her right hand tremblingly, and felt her right eye go dark. A drop of blood flowed down her eye socket and hit her sweaty palm, which was so dazzling that it seemed like a warning.

After waiting for another two minutes and confirming that Pu Siqinglan would not open the tightly closed window again, Xingchuan Hui, who was standing at the window, put away his stern expression and slowly lowered the gun he was aiming at.

"Hey, you look a little scary like this." Kuroba Kaito, who rarely disguised himself, sat in the back and watched the whole process of his expression changing. He supported his face and commented, "If she really wants to take action..."

He has dealt with these guys in the Phantom Thieves many times, and he knows that almost all the members of the Phantom Thieves, except Tang Ze, have some problems with their identities and can no longer return to the sun.

Past social relationships have been completely abandoned, and even past life has gradually become a forgotten past as revenge and struggle have taken place.
