The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

Tang Ze rarely uses words that are somewhat insulting to the sick to describe a person, even when he is scolding someone.

But when it comes to Ito Suehiko, it is really difficult to find such a precise and accurate adjective other than the word "Tang".

Ito Suehiko comes from a good family and lives a comfortable life. He is not extremely handsome, but he is handsome enough. He goes to a good university and has a beautiful girlfriend. No matter what the relationship between them is like, as long as he continues with his life and lives his life according to the rules, even if he gets bored occasionally and causes some trouble, it will still be just a small episode in his life.

Ignoring the fact that he is a rebellious person and only considering his words, he might be a guy that is easy to like.

If he were a normal person.

"I can understand that when people are young and have free time and money, they will find some fun for themselves when they are bored." Tang Ze pointed to the hotel on the map and described it this way, "But can't he have some simple, vulgar hobbies that are not high-class? Why not do something else? Does he want to experience the feeling of committing a crime? Can he play role-playing games for excitement?"

Are you bored and have nothing to do, so you decide to experience what it feels like to be a criminal?

Isn't this the same as those bastards who live in a peacetime and glorify suffering and complain about it because they can't experience it?

Oh, maybe not exactly the same, after all, he has money, and he can be a little more creative than the average jerk, like actually robbing a bank.

A highly educated college student, suddenly had an idea and tried to rob a bank for fun even though he had no shortage of money. This was considered pure rebellion and God sentenced him to jail.

"Hmm..." Hoshikawa Teru crossed his arms and looked at the news page that Noah found for Tang Ze, with a strange expression on his face. "So, the reason he robbed the bank was because he thought it was exciting? He wanted to experience the feeling of a real crime?"

"What other reasons could there be? His family may not be as wealthy as Sonoko's, but Ito Suehiko is definitely a well-off young man." Tang Ze flicked the paper in his hand, "What other reasons could there be for a person like this to rob money?"

With a "click" sound, Hoshikawa Teru, who was about to complain about something, turned his head and saw Miyano Akemi, who lowered her head with her eyes partially covered by the shadow of her bangs, breaking the ballpoint pen in her hand without saying a word.

Xingchuan Hui was startled and didn't dare to say anything else. He obediently turned to the next page.

"He joined a club called the Crime Research Club in college. It's a place that specializes in studying crime-related theories, and it's a club that brings together mystery enthusiasts and criminal psychology researchers." Asai Narimi, who happened to be quickly browsing the documents, nodded. "After studying for a long time, he might have the illusion that 'I can do it, too.'"

"He also did a lot of preparation for this. After all, he was a criminal who was motivated by interest. He must have spent a lot of money on equipment, right?" Zhu Fujingguang frowned and pulled up some surveillance footage related to the robbery. "He is much more sophisticated than ordinary robbers."

"Ah, that's right." Tang Ze nodded and concluded, "His crime was not for money. The equipment he used was not something that a poor bank robber could get. Later, someone died in the process of committing the crime. In order to avoid being exposed, he even prepared more than one sniper rifle... Under such circumstances, this thing was done so ridiculously, isn't it funny enough?"

When Shimabukuro Kimie heard this, she silently put back the photo she was about to pick up and look at.

For some unknown reason, I feel like if I watch too much, I might be infected and my IQ will drop.

"...I understand the logic. His accomplice did die in the end, so he successfully hid his identity and was not caught by the police. Then what was his purpose in hiring so many detectives?" She couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Does he think his crime process is perfect and is going to spend some money to hire some detectives to prove his perfect crime? He has become disabled because of this case."

Since he became blind in a car accident, Ito Suehiko has rarely been out and about. It is obvious that he cannot accept his physical disability and is unwilling to face the outside world's gaze.

Judging from the entire case that changed his life, he is undoubtedly a complete loser.

The robbery was successful, but the accomplice's shooting resulted in unexpected casualties, which escalated the case.

In order to avoid being involved in a case involving human life and to escape legal sanctions, he murdered his accomplice who fired the gun and tried to silence him, but in the end he got into a car accident and lost his eyesight, and his studies and life were also ruined.

This is such a complete joke, why hire a detective to investigate? Telling your own suffering to make people laugh?

"Because he didn't figure out how he failed." Tang Ze rolled his eyes. "He still doesn't know that, apart from participating in robbery and illegally possessing firearms, he didn't commit any particularly serious crimes. Even if he was imprisoned, his sentence was lighter than others."

"Isn't this robbery case a case of death?" Matsuda Jinpei immediately raised an objection, "This case is no longer a simple robbery."

"Yes, but he was not the one who fired the shot, and his overly thorough criminal preparation plan may in turn prove that he had no subjective intention to kill." Tang Ze shrugged.

"Hiss, but you just said that one of the three robbers was killed by his accomplices." Hagiwara Kenji raised his hand and also raised his own doubts, "He was also involved in the planning, does that not count?"

"Not really." Tang Ze spread his hands. "As long as the information at the crime scene is not lost, the trace examination will prove that none of the bullets fired from his gun caused any harm to the other party."

"…How many shots did he fire?"

"Seven shots."

Except for the case where Hoshikawa Teru in the corner was hit by Miyano Akemi with a file and he had to crouch down in defense with his hands on his head because he muttered "Another woman and two men, one thin and one fat", the operations room fell into a subtle silence again.

Ito Suehiko's criminal intent was not strong, the subjective harm was not great, and he was not the actual murderer.

After participating in a crime for a long time, the final sentence is less than half of that of your accomplice. Isn't this an insult?

"So, this is a psychopath." Tang Ze reiterated his point, "Spending so much money, so much time, and painstakingly gathering so many detectives, just to prove that he is stupid [silenced], what's the point of this?"

----

Two days later, the agreed meeting time arrived.

Karasawa stood in the cafe, watching Kogoro Mouri, who had accepted the invitation after Conan's persuasion, drive away in an SUV with a car full of naughty kids, like a kindergarten teacher taking the children on a spring outing. Then he turned around, changed his clothes, and went to the office where he rarely worked.

To date, the Amuro Detective Agency has only four employees, including Amuro Toru and Karasawa. Even before Koshimizu Nanatsuki came, there were only the two of them.

So even though the agency itself has become well-known with the appearance of Goro Akechi and is already the most expensive among Tokyo detective-related agencies, it still cannot change the fact that the agency itself is very simply and ordinary in decoration and that it has very few customers.

Many people come to them, but most of them write in to entrust them or make appointments in advance. Few people come directly to them, so they use this place as an ordinary meeting office.

It was only after Nanatsuki Koshimizu's best friend got the job at the front desk of the agency that she began to manage the agency for the two busy undercover agents who had no time to take care of such small matters. Only then did the agency begin to look a bit like a detective agency.

Today is a rather special situation.

As soon as Tang Ze stepped into the office, he saw everyone sitting in a circle in the reception room turning their heads in unison.

"You also received an invitation?"

"Of course."

Karasawa, maintaining the appearance of Goro Akechi, nodded coldly to this group of friends with whom he actually had a good relationship. He placed his suitcase at the front desk, adjusted the watch on his wrist, and sat down among the extremely concentrated crowd of high school detectives.

"Nice to meet you again, everyone." Bai Ma Tan waved at him and said meaningfully, "I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to sit down and chat with you all again after the last time."

"...Do you miss the last experience?" Hattori Heiji glanced at him.

"Ah, variety shows? It's actually quite interesting." Hakuba smiled, "Working with other detectives, there are always unexpected surprises."

This time, even Koshimizu Nanatsuki, who wasn't quite sure whether he was being sarcastic or not, couldn't help but lower her eyebrows.

Really? Do you mean the kind of fun that comes from seeing your colleagues spitting out flower petals like crazy and then stepping into a strange story space?

This book was recently updated on ##六@@九@@书@@吧!! Update!

"Don't worry, Bai Ma-kun. As long as you are still active in Japan, there will be many opportunities in the future." Tang Ze said meaningfully, and then brought the topic to the main purpose of their meeting today, "What do you think about this invitation?"

The three high school detectives in different postures looked at each other, quickly sat up straight, and huddled together.

As the client, Ito Suehiko, of course, does not want the detectives he hired to get together to compare answers.

His thoughts were extremely contradictory.

On the one hand, he really wanted to know the whole truth and the whole story of this life-changing case, but he couldn't investigate it himself. He was also blind and completely lost the ability to investigate. He could only hope to buy the detectives' investigative resources with money and hope that the detectives were smart enough.

On the other hand, he didn't want the detectives to investigate too clearly or too smartly. After all, Ito Suehiko still believed that he had killed someone. If the detectives discovered this, he would go to jail.

If Karasawa, who used to be a disabled person, were to evaluate himself, it would be difficult for Ito Suehiko to adapt to this society if he loses his current favorable conditions and is no longer able to produce.

Even if the welfare is good and the protection is comprehensive, the quality of life of the disabled is extremely difficult to guarantee. Ito Suehiko simply filled these gaps with money, so he is unwilling to lose them.

But his ideas were his, and the detectives weren't dead.

If he doesn't allow us to check the answers, then it's wrong? He is just the party A, not the father, and even if he is the real father, he still can't control it.

"This client is very strange." Throwing his share on the table, Hattori Heiji curled his lips, "This rich guy must be really rich. Look at the amount he wrote."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki curiously leaned over to take a look and immediately couldn't help laughing.

Not more, not less, exactly 80 yen, which was the price the program crew offered to Hattori Heiji when they participated in the so-called Detective Koshien last time. As half the director and planner, Nanatsuki Koshimizu certainly knew this.

"I usually don't accept paid commissions. I always do, you know, non-profit projects. Anyway, if someone comes to me and asks me for a favor and I'm interested or I think the other party really needs help, I'll take it over." Hattori Heiji crossed his arms and explained his thoughts.

"In other words, this variety show is the only time you've been paid to participate in a detective business." Bai Ma Tan said pertinently, "Then you're pretty unlucky."

A blue vein popped out on Hattori Heiji's forehead.

Tang Ze coughed, suppressed his insincere smile, and spoke to ease the atmosphere: "...The point is not this. The point is that he doesn't know the whole story of why Hattori-kun agreed to participate in this variety show. He only thought that Hattori didn't accept commissions before because the money was not in place. The reason why he agreed to participate in this variety show is because Nichimi TV gave enough this time."

"In other words, this can be considered as Hattori Detective's 'bid price'." Koshimizu Nanatsuki snapped his fingers, "This client has a channel to find Hattori Heiji's 'bid'."

"Hey, hey..." Hattori Heiji's eyebrows jumped, feeling that he had been given a very strange description. "In short, this program was planned by the two of you, and it was your agency that negotiated my contract. No one else should know about it. He must have connections and strength to be able to investigate this."

"Indeed." Bai Ma Tan said, and took out his own remittance slip. "The amount is secondary. I don't care about these things. The main thing is that the recipient of the remittance was not me or my father, but my nanny..."

"He's determined not to let you refuse." Hattori Heiji nodded, having heard that Hakuba had discussed related topics in the last variety show.

Bai Ma Tan's real purpose of participating in the variety show was not for the illusory fame, but he did not tell lies during the interview.

His wet nurse is indeed one of the few people who can influence his planning and decision-making, and is more effective than anyone else.

"I am even more so." Nanatsuki Koshimizu held his chin, raised his head, and gestured to the girl standing at the front desk, cleaning diligently. In addition to the money, the reward I received also included a letter of introduction, saying that he could help solve Xiaoxun's household registration problem... He really watched that variety show thoroughly."

"Like a detective fan." Hattori Heiji complained.

After the three of them finished speaking, they all looked at Tang Ze.

After drinking tea for a long time, Tang Ze finally put down the teacup and spoke directly.

"Regarding this question... I have already done some research. His name is Ito Suehiko."

The three people who knew a little about his true identity all started to shudder at the same time for different reasons.
