The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

Kenji Hagiwara recovered from a dizziness, still in a daze, but reflexively took a step towards his friends.

"Are you short of manpower? Why are you suddenly asking me to come... over..."

According to his understanding, there are so many guys in the Phantom Thieves who have awakened their powers, and as an ordinary person, he can only help limitedly in those fancy, spiritual battles. Normally, there is no need for him, a water dispenser, to come here specifically.

But after opening his eyes and seeing the scene clearly, his subsequent doubts naturally disappeared.

In front of them was a huge neon arch that reminded him of a scene he didn't want to recall. The style was somewhat retro Broadway and needed almost no explanation. Just looking at it made one feel like they would see a circus tent after passing through the door.

But behind this arch, behind a few robots with blank faces and nothing on them, repeating their welcome words over and over, are stairs that lead directly to the rides.

After passing through the path below and the various souvenirs and snack stalls on both sides that are hard to complain about, there is a very simple roller coaster cableway entrance that can be entered by swiping a card.

Okay, he took back his complaint.

He looked at the complicated and winding track behind the cableway and sighed: "Why, when there is a track, do we still need to open it..."

"Who knows?" Miyano Akemi said vaguely, holding a piece of takoyaki she bought from a stall. The color was very bad, and it was covered with blood-red ketchup. "Maybe this is Ito Suehiko's 'creativity'."

As she spoke, she showed what they had in their hands.

Of course, the things in the temple can be taken, used, and eaten, and they have experienced this many times.

Today, many of them were busy defusing bombs, tracking down Tang Ze, and investigating the network related to Soichiro Fukaya. It can be said that they were all very busy and naturally they were hungry.

"I understand your desire to eat something." Hagiwara Kenji looked down at the food in his teammates' hands and said, "But I didn't expect you to be so greedy."

It’s nothing, it’s just that the things sold at the stalls here are a little bit scary.

Not to mention the octopus balls that looked more like eyeballs pierced by sticks than takoyaki, the appearance was even weirder. They had cute faces painted on them, but after being doused with sauce and skewered together, they instantly became cult-style dumplings. The box said strawberry ice cream, but when you looked at it again, it was a dessert with a bloody heart, etc...

Goth, so goth.

"It's not bad." Matsuda Jinpei stuffed a piece of bread painted in the shape of a bullet box into his mouth and replied, "It tastes pretty good, it's sweet when it should be sweet, and it's salty when it should be salty."

"Except for taking a deep breath before biting it, it's really fine." Shimabukuro showed him the candy apple in her hand that had solidified into a skull shape, and said sincerely, "If these ideas were really made into a theme park, even though they are a little inappropriate for children, I might really be interested."

If we talk about the advantages of the palace, it may be that it is derived from reality and the life experience of the palace owner, so the prices are still very balanced.

It's not expensive, and after trying it I found it surprisingly not bad, so even though the food here doesn't look good, I still ate it.

"It really shows the essence of his character." Zhu Fujingguang swallowed the food and added, "He looks fierce, or rather, he tries to package himself as fierce, but after just a sip, you can tell that he is not like that inside. His fierceness is still mostly forced."

Ito Suehiko was indeed a criminal, but he was not a villain.

Because he appears to be powerful but is actually weak, and because his understanding of the dark side is very superficial, he is still far from being a true villain.

The setbacks in his life did not come from the motives for committing crimes, but from the consequences of committing crimes.

He had no intention of bearing the consequences, and as he lacked awareness of these things, it was not surprising that he suffered great frustration in the events that followed, resulting in his mind being particularly twisted.

"It's obviously a roller coaster, but it still needs someone to drive it." Asai Narumi handed Hagiwara Kenji a bottle of drink and said, "He is riding a roller coaster, but he deceives himself into thinking that he is 'driving' on the path he wants. It's quite humorous."

Kenji Hagiwara looked down at the jelly in his hand which looked like a bottle of slightly solidified blood, then looked at the roller coaster track towering into the sky behind them, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should agree or not.

It is a bit humorous, but if you look at this roller coaster that goes through the sky, the earth, mountains of swords and seas of fire, and there is no guardrail on it, it seems that it is not entirely correct to say that he is a harmless and ignorant guy...

"…How to open this kind of thing is really a test of one's ability." Kenji Hagiwara could only sigh.

"Yeah, so didn't they call you over?" Matsuda Jinpei patted his shoulder. "The style of our group is still very obvious, you should know that."

The Phantom Thieves of Hearts are indeed not a scientific team, and they have a lot of cheats.

But even without any special abilities, everyone is a very capable person, which is also a very important feature of this team.

Putting aside those abilities, Tang Ze might not be able to execute his plans and goals so quickly, but to say that he is incapable of accomplishing those things is somewhat disrespectful.

"So I'm here to be the driver. Why not let Noah... Well, I know, he has other tasks to do. So if it turns upside down later..."

"I believe in your driving skills, Hagi. Also, although this is not very scientific, centrifugal force still exists, right? It doesn't matter. If it doesn't work, let Master Jing spit some silk to tie it up for you..."

"Hey, hey, that's not the silk I spit out..."

"That's enough, that's enough, don't be so picky! Okay, let's go."

----

"I heard the sound of metal colliding..." After receiving the information from the cleaning lady, several people who had already visited the crime scene fell into silence.

There is basically no doubt that the deceased in this case, Masaharu Nishio, who was working at Ito Suehiko's company at the time, was murdered by his accomplices.

The main problem with the incident is who the murderer is.

From the information we have inquired, it seems that Ito Suehiko is a somewhat strong guy. He was not only the president at the time, but also the leader of the small group. The planning of the robbery must have been inseparable from his influence. Everyone's evaluation of Shimizu Reiko is more of a superficial label such as "the president's girlfriend" and "a beautiful and gorgeous beauty."

From this point of view, the murderer must be Ito Suehiko without a doubt.

but……

"Ito Suehiko drove away when he was being pursued by the police, and the car he drove was the one used for the robbery and temporarily parked near the abandoned building. So he should be the one responsible for driving in the team." Conan picked up his notebook and began to sort out the clues. "This is not common in robbery planning."

"Because in common robberies, in order to ensure mobility, the driver cannot easily leave the vehicle unless there is a need to change vehicles in the middle of the journey. Even if they leave for a period of time due to limited manpower, they must leave the team for a short period of time. Whether it is parking the car or preparing the vehicle to drive again." Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded, "That means the specific contents and the implementation process will definitely be out of the opponent's sight for a period of time."

"To put it simply, this is not a position that a planner would choose." Kuroba Kaito pinched his chin, recalling the "cases" of the Heart Robbers, oh no, the Heart Phantom Thieves, and nodded in agreement, "When there are enough people, some robbers will even prepare extra drivers to pick them up and they won't follow the team at all."

"...Oh, in the end, this car was used by Ito Suehiko to escape, so Ito Suehiko was the driver." Listening to their discussion of the problem-solving process, Kogoro Mori suddenly realized.

The three of them looked at him at the same time, then looked away at the same time.

"Another question is how many guns they have." Seeing that everyone understood what he meant, Conan turned the page and said, "Ito Suehiko was in charge of driving. He might also be able to shoot, but if he can drive and shoot at the same time, he must be a professional criminal. He shouldn't have caused so many mistakes."

"At the time of the robbery, Nishio Masaharu was clearly the gunman. He shot and killed the security guard, and everyone saw it." Kuroba Kaito added, "And according to the robbery records and the state of the scene where Nishio Masaharu committed the crime, they had at least two guns."

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

Kogoro Mori didn't understand what they were suddenly discussing, so he looked left and right, and at this point he finally understood what was going on.

"...You mean, Shimizu Reiko is also the shooter?"

"Yes, his marksmanship might be better than Nishio Masaharu's." Conan looked up and explained to him, "There were eight bullet marks at the scene of Nishio Masaharu's death, most of which were very crooked, not at the level of a normal sniper. Even if he misjudged the wind direction, or was not very familiar with guns and could not do accurate sniping, it is unreasonable for a whole magazine of bullets to deviate so much."

"The only possible answer is that the shooter doesn't know how to use a gun and isn't used to it." Koshimizu Nanatsuki raised both hands and gestured to the shape of a gun. He closed his left eye and aimed at Maori Kogoro. "He was too nervous. The only way to be nervous is to hold the butt of the gun tightly. He is also not used to the recoil caused by the gun."

"It's hard for people who have never fired a gun to imagine what it feels like to be hit by a sniper bullet that can accurately shoot from a distance of kilometers." Kuroba Kaito said very pertinently, "People who don't know how to use a gun and are not used to using a gun will definitely panic when they try to kill someone with this kind of gun for the first time. Forget about the accuracy. This guy was lucky that he didn't kill the unlucky guy in the next window with one shot."

"That's the truth."

"Although this may not be a good idea without evidence, it seems..."

"…Ito Suehiko is not the murderer at all. Shimizu Reiko is."

"Hmm..." Maori Kogoro listened to their discussion without expressing agreement or disagreement. He stroked his chin for a while and said, "It is said that the police in Kanagawa made a mistake and mistakenly wanted him as a murderer. The client wants the detective to investigate the matter thoroughly?"

"At this point, I think there's no need to guess who the client is." Conan shrugged after closing the notebook.

There are three suspects in the case, two men and one woman, one of whom is dead. And the client obviously cannot be a woman.

"He wants to clear his name?" Maori Kogoro scratched his hair in confusion, "But it seems to be useless, right?"

As a former professional criminal policeman, he did not know much about the law, but he had an idea of ​​the approximate sentencing standards for criminal offenses.

Murdering an accomplice in order to evade responsibility is indeed a felony, but because the subjective malice is clear and this is an internal conflict among the gangsters, it does not have much social impact and value. Even if he is charged with robbery and gun possession, the judge will most likely only give him the maximum sentence of 20 years or so.

After removing the murder charge, Ito Suehiko could be given a light sentence, but he escaped from prison while receiving medical treatment, kidnapped innocent minors to "investigate the truth", used explosives to cause panic, illegally hacked into public cameras and other devices, and violated residents' privacy...

Due to his strong subjective initiative and the fact that he personally caused each of the above crimes to happen, their severity may be even greater than the robbery itself.

Not to mention that he may have illegal collusion with other companies or even individuals, and has a tendency to illegally organize violent organizations...

To sum up, if we do the math, this is a situation where the death penalty could really be imposed with intervention.

What's the point of just washing away a murder?

"That's hard to say..." Conan pursed his lips and instinctively wanted to touch his phone. He reached out and found nothing, so he lowered his hand unwillingly.

Damn it, if only I could make a phone call right now...

Because I can’t let Uncle Maori get suspicious, I can’t take it out here…

The client's purpose still depends on what conclusion the case will be closed with.

"...I'll call Eri." Kogoro Mouri touched his chin and suddenly said.

"Huh?" Conan opened his eyes wide.

"Firstly, this matter almost implicated Xiaolan, so it is necessary to tell her. Secondly, Yingli is a lawyer, and it is sometimes more convenient for her to investigate this kind of information than a detective..."

"...and she's the rare person whose phone number you can memorize, right?" Conan's mouth twitched and he interrupted Kogoro Mouri's reasoning.

"Well, that's about right..."

The three people following behind him exchanged glances with each other and rolled their eyelids at the same time, obviously not so interested in the love, hate and hatred of middle-aged people.

Xiaolan is fine, why use her as an excuse? At this time, don't show off your affection...
