The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

Perhaps it was the comfort from his daughter on the phone that worked, or perhaps it was because the two punches he just gave Takata helped him vent some of his anger, Kogoro Mouri's expression was still relatively calm.

He stood next to Conan and examined the watch firmly clasped on the other's hand with a serious expression.

This thing is like a death warrant.

"What did Xiaolan mean just now?" Thinking of the way his daughter had just put it on her hand, Maori Kogoro took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions, "You are... again?"

There was a hint of blame in his words.

Kogoro Mouri was vaguely aware of Conan's situation, so he let his daughter take the child away with confidence because Conan was looking after them.

He and the brat may have differences on many issues, but when it comes to Xiaolan, they definitely have the same ideas.

Conan raised his hand, gestured for silence, and pointed to the ID on his hand.

After all, he was a madman who had already used a bomb. Why would he install a bomb but not a bug? We can't assume that the criminal is really so kind.

Kogoro Mouri took the note he handed over, read its contents carefully, and his frown relaxed a little.

Well, fortunately Dr. Agasa had the foresight to save Conan himself, no one else actually wore it and was threatened.

As he breathed a sigh of relief, he lowered his head and looked at the patch on Conan's wrist.

The ID card with its LCD screen already lit up was glowing slightly under the light, and the fonts used were even rounded numbers designed to suit the user, making it look cute, gentle and harmless.

"What about yours? Is it okay?" Kogoro Mouri raised his chin and gestured with a bit of awkwardness.

Conan, who didn't expect to receive his concern, was stunned for a moment, then he looked down at his wrist.

Of course, the danger in his watch was resolved together with Xiaolan by the wild handsome guy who suddenly appeared. However, due to the other party's sensitive identity, it was not easy to say this to Kogoro Mouri.

So Conan just touched the beast whose fangs had been removed and smiled confidently: "Anyway, as long as we deal with it before 10 o'clock in the evening, right?"

Kogoro Mouri's eyebrows twitched, and he looked at his face, which was particularly arrogant because of his self-confidence, and clicked his tongue.

"You little brat...what are you still standing there for? Get in the car."

----

Ito Suehiko and Mori Kogoro agreed to meet at nine o'clock in the morning.

Since the process of convincing the naughty kids to wear the watches was omitted, the time spent was very short.

As a lunatic who is proficient in time management, Ito Suehiko has arranged a very busy schedule for himself. He will start meeting other detectives who were hired by him at high salaries.

At half past nine it was Goro Akechi's turn.

"From this we can see that the order in which he meets people is based on their net worth." Tang Ze said this to the person on the other end of the communication as he walked out of the car and tossed the car keys to the doorman.

"…What do you mean?" Hattori Heiji's eyebrows twitched violently because he was the second to last.

"I'm the last one in line and I didn't say anything, so stop complaining, Hattori." Koshimizu Nanatsuki's voice suppressed him in time.

"Don't worry, just let us handle the operation. I am confident that your price will be higher than the previous price within half a year."

"Hey Akechi, you..."

After teasing him for a while, Karasawa, relying on the fact that he had already arrived at the hotel, naturally shut his mouth, ignored Hattori Heiji's protest in the voice, turned off the communicator, smiled and shook hands with Secretary Takata, whose smile was not very sincere, and also walked into the conference room that Kogoro Mori had entered before.

When the watch used as an ID card was placed on the table, Tang Ze just lowered his eyes and looked at it twice, nodded indifferently, and ignored Takata's lame excuse, and casually put it on his wrist.

Not to mention the fact that there is more than one bomb disposal expert in his team, so what if it explodes?

If you have the guts, just try to kill me.

Secretary Takada, who finally got cooperation, was obviously relieved. He stopped showing off when he pressed the remote control to close the curtains. He stepped back tactfully and put some distance between himself and the detective who looked like a prince.

He had inquired in advance. Of all the detectives invited today, except for Nanatsuki Koshimizu who was a woman and had a relatively unknown reputation and whose strength was unknown, all the other detectives had at least one physical skill. Mr. Akechi even had a special gun certificate and was of a special nationality, so it was better for him to keep a distance from them.

The conference room fell into darkness, and Ito Suehiko's mysterious image was projected again.

"Good morning, Detective Akechi. I am your client. Regarding this commission..."

"...Do you want me to investigate your robbery case, sir?" Without giving Ito Suehiko time to show off, Karasawa said it directly.

The figure on the screen shook noticeably.

"It's not a good habit to be mysterious, Mr. Client, especially when you are the one who really needs help." Tang Ze crossed his fingers and rested them on his chin, posing a relaxed and leisurely gesture. "You chose Mr. Maori Kogoro, which is actually quite suitable. The price is suitable to show your efforts. He is also a traditional detective whose principles in all aspects meet your requirements. It is really irrational to target me."

Tang Ze pushed the chair behind him and adjusted his sitting position, facing the direction of Ito Suehiko's surveillance camera - although he knew that Ito Suehiko was blind and would not be able to see even if there was a camera, he still had to do what he had to do - he supported himself with his hands on the armrests and smiled in a relaxed manner.

"Mr. Maori and I are not equally famous now, but most people who know him also know me, which may have given you some misconceptions, but client, you need to understand clearly. I am a private detective who specializes in serving the rich and powerful. My long-term clients are all over Japan, including Yokohama where you are. You don't think that you are the richest man in Japan because you are the most powerful in the country, right? Oh, by the way, the richest man Suzuki Group is also my long-term client. I'm afraid you don't know, so I'm telling you."

Compared with the previous sarcasm, this passage has a stronger yin-yang flavor.

Even if people are not clear about the relationship between Goro Akechi and other wealthy families, his long-term cooperation with the Suzuki Group is visible to everyone.

Of course, Karasawa does not rule out the possibility that some people may ignore the importance of this relationship because Kogoro Mori also has close ties with the Suzuki family, so he kindly reminds Ito Suehiko.

"As for me, I am different from many of my colleagues. I do business with rich people. Rather than a detective, I prefer to be called a consultant for hire, and I am not only responsible for the things that regular detectives do. To be honest, I don't really care about your ideas and plans. The only reason I came to see you is that your offer is high enough. I like to talk to people who are sincere. That way, communication is more efficient."

Having said that, Tang Ze took out a few photos from his briefcase and pushed them on the table.

This was exactly what he had shown to the high school detectives earlier: a group photo of Ito Suehiko's college club, as well as close-up photos of his former friends and girlfriend.

Perhaps because he was blind and needed to relay the message on the spot, it took Ito Suehiko a few seconds to respond from the man who was sitting there.

The figure on the screen choked very obviously.

"I prefer the feeling of an open deal. Let's be frank. What do you want me to do? Reveal the truth of the case for you? Find your missing ex-girlfriend? Or help you get rid of the crime and get you out of this trouble completely? Let me make it clear first, the last option will not be priced the same as it is now."

Looking at the screen with a smile, Tang Ze played the role of a detective that was very much in line with the organization's expectations and that Kumail would play.

Then after a few seconds, he felt the clasp of the watch on his wrist loosen with a "click".

The ID card containing the deadly object automatically unlocked and fell heavily on the table.

Judging from the look on her face, it seems more like she wants to stay away from him rather than giving up after compromising.

Tang Ze pulled his tie with satisfaction, turned around and looked at Takata who was huddled in the corner like a fool and dared not make a sound, and raised his hand.

"A cup of black coffee, thank you. Please open the curtains for me. I don't like looking at the screen in the dark. It's bad for my eyesight."

After Goro Akechi, the next one is naturally Hakuba Tan, and then Hattori Heiji.

Although the two people did not travel together, they left the office one after the other, so they were only about ten meters apart when they walked into the hotel.

Seeing Goro Akechi leisurely reading a newspaper in the coffee break area in the lobby, both of them had strange expressions for a moment.

According to their previous reasoning, shouldn't Ito Suehiko be making some threats or restrictions, requiring them to solve the case according to his own wishes?

Even though they are planning to have a fake match, they still have to put on an act, right?

They saw Secretary Takata who came to pick them up. They didn't know how to ask the question directly, so they just exchanged glances and went upstairs together.

Tang Ze finished drinking the coffee in which he had secretly stuffed a lot of sugar cubes to dilute the bitter taste of concentrated black coffee in his mouth. He waited for more than ten minutes and finally greeted the two people who were running down quickly.

"How is it?" Tang Ze asked, pushing the coffee he ordered for them.

"Done." Hattori Heiji wiped his nose and showed Tang Ze the masterpiece on his wrist.

The ID card from Ito Suehiko was indeed firmly pressed against his wrist, but there was a white gap at the buckle position, and it was not difficult to see that he must have clamped something in the middle.

Just find a slightly sharp object and pry it open along the gap, and this so-called difficult-to-remove device can be easily pried open.

After all, no matter how advanced the mechanical structure is, it cannot match the power of Superman Ke Xue.

Bai Ma Tan turned his bound wrists and pulled up his sleeves like a magic trick. When he pulled them open again, the buckle had surprisingly loosened.

"…Why is there a magic segment?" Hattori Heiji's mouth twitched.

"Oh, this is a little trick I learned when I was studying Kidd's affairs." Bai Ba Tan smiled implicitly.

Hattori Heiji didn't react to this, but Tang Ze gave him a strange look.

Could it be that after the last magic fans' gathering, you thought it was too embarrassing to go home and saw the handcuffs, so you studied how to do the handcuff magic trick? Here you are learning from the foreigners to defeat them.

But you can rest assured, Kidd himself will probably saw off the handcuffs like you when he returns.

After each of them showed their completed results, Hattori Heiji began to explain how they forced Takata to let the two of them accept the meeting together, and then how they used off-site information and real reasoning at the scene to force Ito Suehiko, a guy who thought he was hiding behind the scenes and sitting on the Diaoyutai, to threaten him with explosives.

It should be said that people who can see through lies are indeed good at lying.

It's hard to say how good their acting abilities are, but this serious reasoning, based on such limited information, including image profiling and psychological analysis, is really very misleading, and Ito Suehiko is completely unable to figure it out.

Regarding Ito Suehiko's self-touching plan of finding the truth and fulfilling himself, it is hard to say whether he can realize now that he is a fool, but he should have realized that he is a fool.

I met the reasoning genius Yu Caosi by chance, and I couldn't defeat him no matter how hard I tried.

At least now he should realize that his so-called perfect plan was based on facts.

"Where are the hints he gave you?" Tang Ze, who was too lazy to calculate Ito Suehiko's psychological shadow and focused entirely on analyzing the possible keywords of the hall, asked directly.

"here."

The two of them took out their own notebooks, placed them on the table, and slowly drank their coffee while discussing.

So, when the last person to attend the meeting, Nanatsuki Koshimizu, arrived, Takada, who came down to greet her, saw Goro Akechi and two other detectives of similar age, each holding a coffee cup and chatting and laughing, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Detectives, you, you guys..." Gao Tian mustered up the courage to approach, stuttering uncontrollably, "Didn't I say that the deadline for the commission is 10 p.m...."

Why are you sitting here chatting leisurely instead of going out to look for clues?

Moreover, if they approached Goro Akechi directly, they might be able to quickly resolve the president's request and solve the problem...

"Yes, isn't it ten o'clock in the evening? There are still twelve hours left, plenty of time." Bai Ma glanced at him and had no good impression of this accomplice who helped the tyrant to commit evil.

"I'm just a hired detective, not your employee. Even if I'm your employee, I have to complete the work within the specified time, and I'm not required to relax and rest, right?" Hattori Heiji squinted his eyes, with disdain in his eyes, "Why, is this also a breach of contract?"

Gao Tian looked at them for a long time, and felt that there was a line of words clearly written on both of their faces, "I'm playing with my life, why are you in such a hurry?"

After thinking about it, he realized that he had no way to refute it, so he could only swallow his anger and quickly went upstairs with Nanatsuki Koshimizu who was greeting Goro Akechi with a smile.

Two minutes later, Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who was sitting in the conference room, looked at the dark screen in front of her that was not turned on, and a question mark slowly emerged in her head.

Hmm? Didn't she just hear in the communication that Ito Suehiko had used video chat?

What happened? Is the camera broken?
