The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

"Crime Research of Yokohama... Really, you didn't consider what would happen if the detective's English wasn't up to par, did you?"

Standing in front of the laboratory door, Kogoro Maori read the English on it word by word, scratched his hair and said indignantly.

No, to be more precise, if Conan hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't even be able to find the keyword Yokohama Marine University.

"After all, a detective should be a smart person with a wide range of knowledge..." Conan couldn't help but look away and coughed, "This, the client may not have considered it..."

It's not just a matter of worshipping detectives. In past case reports, Kogoro Mori has always been portrayed as a smart and intelligent person.

And when Conan was playing double duty behind the scenes, he never showed any unfamiliarity with foreign languages, so the client naturally would not consider this.

"Ha, this is really..." Kogoro Mouri curled his lips, said nothing more, and directly turned the door handle in front of him.

Behind the door, there were the laughter and chatter of young men and women.

"Oh, yeah, you're Akechi-kun's colleague. Does he work like he does on TV?"

"What kind? If you mean when he's handling a case, he's always been very smart and quick to react."

"No, it's just that, that kind of smiling look..."

"You're learning it so ugly, Takamura."

"Stop talking nonsense--!"

When he saw the boy and girl surrounded by a group of college students behind the door, Kogoro Mouri was confused for a long time before he could barely recognize the two people they were traveling with.

“Is this Nanatsuki Koshimizu from Akechi’s office? And that, that…”

"...Detective Hakuba, the son of a high-ranking official in the Metropolitan Police Department." Conan reminded and immediately cast his eyes on the wrists of the two people.

As expected, they both wore an identification watch exactly the same as the one on Conan's hand. The LCD screen on it displayed the time and date, flashing quietly.

"Eh? Who are you?" Several students who were chatting enthusiastically turned to look at the group of middle-aged men and children and asked blankly.

The appearance of Nanatsuki Koshimizu and Hakuba Tsutomu here would not attract much attention, because no matter their appearance or age, their appearance on a university campus is a very normal thing, and no one would notice two people of the same age.

Kogoro Mouri and Conan are a bit conspicuous.

Kogoro Mouri pursed his lips. Before he could figure out how to start the conversation, Kaito Kuroba smiled and waved his hand.

"They came to see us," he introduced. "We have stayed here too long and have unfinished work."

"Are we leaving now?" The college students who had been chatting happily with them expressed their reluctance to leave. "We haven't gotten your autographs yet..."

"As for your autograph, you can do it now." Nanatsuki Koshimizu pulled out the pen from his pocket and gave the girls a dashing smile, "But let me make it clear first, my autograph is not as valuable as money. If you want to collect it..."

"It's no problem! We don't mind!"

"Ms. Yueshui is also very handsome. I liked you best in the last variety show!"

"Really? Thank you for your kindness."

While picking up the pen to sign, Nanatsuki Koshimizu skillfully adjusted the position of her chair to get closer to the students.

She lowered her voice and no longer asked these people about their majors and future plans intentionally or unintentionally as she had just done. Instead, she talked about her daily work in the firm.

After the excitement has worn off, what will most attract young students interested in detectives is probably the other side of these celebrities that is not seen in the media.

So instinctively, everyone leaned forward and listened more attentively to what Nanatsuki Koshimizu said. No one noticed the "Hakuba Detective" who stood up quietly, and Kogoro Mouri and Conan who tiptoed in behind them to check the situation.

Using her popularity and fame to achieve an effect that can draw the audience's attention to herself even if they are standing on the same stage, this is the most important lesson that Toru Amuro and Goro Akechi taught her after she joined the Amuro Detective Agency.

Anyone who has seen with their own eyes how Akechi-kun and Amuro Toru cooperate with each other, one using his conspicuous appearance and fame to create a traffic jam in the front, while the other quietly completing some evidence collection work that should not be noticed in the back, will have the same feeling as her.

Anyone who can become a famous detective is not a simple guy...

Conan's eyebrows twitched when he realized what Nanatsuki Koshimizu was doing.

He should have asked Hakuba Tan whether they were facing the same dilemma as Maori Kogoro, and whether the client had given them any additional hints or clues, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but complain first.

"I remember Miss Koshimizu wasn't like this before. Did Akechi corrupt you? "

"If you ask her in person, or Akechi, they might give different answers." Kuroba Kaito shrugged and motioned Conan to look at the blackboard on the side. "Aren't you here to investigate this? While they are all wandering around Yueshui, take some pictures."

"oh oh……"

With a digital camera stuffed into his hand, Kogoro Mouri followed Conan blankly, taking quick pictures of the contents on the blackboard as if collecting evidence, including group photos of the club, recent activities, and some introduction to the club's history and awards. He couldn't help feeling a little confused.

Didn't they say they were also threatened by the client? Where did these two guys get so many cameras?

"I didn't bring it. Akechi-kun gave it to me." Koshimizu Nanatsuki, who had escaped to meet them, explained, "Akechi-kun usually carries some tools needed to solve cases in his suitcase, and this is one of them."

"...Bringing so many cameras?" Kogoro Mouri looked down at the camera in his hand, then looked at the ones in their hands, and was speechless for a moment.

"The situations detectives face are always complicated. He said that one time he encountered a suspect trying to escape at the crime scene and smashed two of his cameras, and then he began to prepare cameras of different sizes and models..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki coughed and explained with gritted teeth.

This is of course not true. She did prepare her own camera, but the extra ones were brought by Kaito Kid.

"It's a good thing he can carry it..." Kogoro Mouri's mouth twitched.

"It's better to be prepared." Kuroba Kaito suppressed his smile and turned the topic back to the camera in his hand. "Let's take a look at these photos first. There should be some clues."

"Well, what we know now is that the client wants us to investigate the whole story of the armored car robbery that happened on April 4. According to the students in the club, one of the leaders of their club was indeed involved in it." Koshimizu Nanatsuki quickly took advantage of the situation, flipped through the album in the camera, and pointed to a group photo. "He hadn't even received his diploma at the time, but he became a wanted person by the police because of this case. So the school expelled him. His name is Ito Suehiko..."

----

"...He is the president of Far East Investment Consulting Company." Bai Ba Tan turned a page of information and explained to the other end of the communicator, "As for Soichiro Miyama, although there is no apparent intersection, I just asked Yue Shui, and she said that Soichiro Miyama was the first president of the Crime Research Society and has been running his own business since graduating from university."

Putting Shenshan's information on the other side, he looked at the documents below.

"I carefully checked the financial situation of their company. There is something wrong with the financial situation of this Miyama affair. Most of Akechi's suspicions should be true. At that time, Reiko Shimizu and Suehiko Ito himself may have become Soichiro Miyama's 'handmen' with or without knowing it. In addition to the newly transported banknotes, there was also a collection that was transferred from one bank to another bank at the request of a customer on the armored car at that time. After the incident, its whereabouts have been unknown. After the police investigated Reiko Shimizu and others, they also searched their homes and companies, but in the end, no trace of it was found."

"Do you suspect that it is in the hands of Soichiro Miyama?" Hattori Heiji watched the money transport truck pass by him and stood up. "Or is it that Soichiro Miyama's goal?"

"Almost." Hakuba nodded. "The total amount of money they robbed was less than 2 million yen. It is indeed a huge sum of money for ordinary people, but no matter which one of them, even Shimizu Reiko, comes from a fairly good family. There should be no need to kill for such money."

The scale of this robbery is really insufficient compared to the energy they spent on the case.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Whether it was a long-term planning of the crime, or killing people in the process of committing the crime in order to avoid being stopped, or even trying to cover up the crime and kill companions after the crime, it was a bit too exaggerated for a case of 2 million yen and for a group of young masters and ladies who had no shortage of money.

"Well, that makes sense." Hattori Heiji pinched his chin, recalling the tone of Ito Suehiko on the phone just now, and nodded slowly, "It seems that Ito Suehiko is still very confused about why Nishio Masaharu is in a hurry to kill people."

"I think Ito Suehiko had nothing to do with this matter from beginning to end." Hearing this somewhat outrageous client, Hakuba Tan spoke very coldly, "He was the driver in the robbery. In addition to driving, he was only responsible for providing some financial assistance and helping to carry things. In other words, the gun was originally prepared for Shimizu Reiko and Nishio Masaharu, and he had no share."

"...and he really doesn't know how to use a gun." Thinking of the story of outlining the human body with seven guns, Hattori Heiji slapped his forehead.

"It was also Shimizu Reiko who silenced Nishio Masaharu. It was also Shimizu Reiko who suggested silencing him in order to protect themselves."

"Well... Moreover, after the incident, he was disabled in a car accident and was rescued from the police custody in the mountains, but he never thought about one question..."

“…So, why did Soichiro Miyama find out about this?”

When the two of them talked about this, they couldn't help but fall silent for a moment.

The silence is not because of the content itself, but a kind of speechlessness towards Ito Suehiko.

The robbery took place on April 4, and the shooting of Masaharu Nishio took place in late April or early May.

It took quite a while for him to wake up and regain consciousness after being seriously injured in a car accident and sent to the hospital by the police.

One of the important reasons why he escaped from the hospital was that he heard from the police that Reiko Shimizu refused to admit to murder and committed suicide by jumping into the sea.

So the question is, there were three people involved in the robbery, and two of them died.

There were two people involved in the murder, and the other person also died.

How did Soichiro Fukayama predict that he would be sent to the hospital by the police, and how did he find him accurately and prepare to pick him up?

"…Isn't this a complete trick?" Hattori Heiji's mouth twitched. "And the police clearly didn't identify him as the murderer. At most, he was arrested for illegal possession of firearms and robbery. So if he didn't run away, went to jail honestly, and confessed..."

"Considering his physical condition and his involvement in the case, he may have been released by now." Detective Bai Ma took over and finished the second half of the sentence.

Having said that, both ends of the communication fell into a self-explanatory silence again.

Even so, he spent so much money and hired so many famous detectives to investigate this matter...

"Now it's not good." Bai Ma thought for a moment and added, "He placed explosives in many places, threatening children's health, had a tendency to carry out indiscriminate terrorist attacks, illegally obtained explosives, and used false identities and shell companies to operate an amusement park..."

Hattori Heiji, who focused his main energy on solving the case rather than the subsequent trial, was stunned when he heard the number that looked like a dish from Hakuba. At the end, he added dryly: "...Now, his sentence may be longer than Shimizu Reiko's."

"It's worth the trip, isn't it?"

After a few seconds of silence, Hattori Heiji finally came to his senses and changed the subject: "Huh? Our phones have been confiscated, right? Where did you get the information? Did you go directly to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department?"

"Fax, what else?" Bai Matan asked in a matter-of-fact tone, "I went to a public phone booth to call home and asked someone to retrieve the information for me. What's wrong?"

Hearing him so frankly state that he had used his family's connections with the police, Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes and turned off the communication headset without hesitation.

It's really infuriating to be compared with these colleagues who always cheat off the field.

After calling twice and seeing no response from the other end, Bai Ma Tan guessed that the call had been "hung up", shrugged his shoulders, put away the documents in front of him, and turned to look at the building not far away.

No matter what, these people should react when they notice Ito Suehiko's movements. If they wait here...

Bai Ma Tan, who was staring at the entrance of the building, caught sight of a familiar face and his eyes widened.

Akechi...? Why did he come out with Soichiro Miyama?
