Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 1092 Hell Joke Meeting

"Reliable source of information..." Conan repeated the term with some surprise, looked at Akai Shuichi's calm expression, and decided to treat what he said as true.

According to their plan, Rena Mizunashi had successfully "disappeared" in a public event, and the organization realized that she might have fallen into the control of the FBI.

This is a very risky plan, but the logic and route before and after are very smooth. It has finally come to this step. A clear-headed person like Shuichi Akai must know the importance and risks of this matter and will not accept information casually.

"So that means we have 72 hours to find the person with the most problems."

"Well. Time is short, and the people that Gin can send to investigate will definitely not be able to do everything carefully." Akai Shuichi watched Conan start to flip through the photos and reminded him, "The hospital we chose was very random, and no media has released relevant information to the public. However, as long as the people investigating this matter have experience, they will definitely be able to filter out the information about Haido Central Hospital."

"Does it mean the coverage area of ​​the hospital's emergency treatment?" Conan asked, carefully examining the characteristics of the people in each photo.

"Yes. The most famous departments of Haido Central Hospital are burns and orthopedics. It was the best choice in the area to deal with the chaos in Shibuya at that time." Akai Shuichi agreed, "Pramya himself lived there."

Hearing the name, Conan paused with mixed emotions and slowed down his action of flipping through the photos.

It's not that he completely didn't understand Joker's choice at the time, but when he thought of Pramya's miserable situation, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Pramiya was the one who planted the bomb herself, so she couldn't blame anyone else for being burned like this. Joker even took her to the place where the neutralizer was stored, leaving her a chance to survive.

But with such deep burns, her short life was doomed to be short, and she would definitely live a life worse than Motobashi Yoji's, and even worse than...

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but turn his gaze and look through the gap in the curtains at the building next door.

Shuichi Akai has not officially moved into the Kudo residence yet. In order to conceal the fact that there are already residents here, the curtains in his house are still basically drawn as before.

In the base next door, the curtains are also tightly drawn for the same reason.

Joker, is he okay?

And that group of policemen who came back from the dead, which seemed more and more outrageous the more I thought about it...

He would have to find time to make this trip eventually. Conan calmed himself down and turned his attention back to the photo in his hand.

Finish your action quickly, then hurry up and go take a look next door.

"Since time is short and the investigator is definitely sent temporarily, I think the main focus of the screening should be on whether the patient is a real patient. Even if they can temporarily 'create' a patient, this investigator has to explore and roam the entire ward, and he must maintain basic mobility..."

----

"Me? Of course I'm fine."

Tang Ze, who climbed over windows and walls instead of going through the main door, was definitely quicker than this fake elementary school student who had heavy mental tasks. At this moment, he was curled up calmly on the sofa in the living room, watching Conan who was coming at him around the corner, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In other words, he was considerate enough to arrange the Phantom Thieves' base next to Conan's house, otherwise the detective would be exhausted just running around collecting intelligence in the past two days.

Now, with Haibara Ai, Kudo's house, and the Phantom Thieves' base in a straight line, it would be convenient for Conan to do his daily work, right?
"You know, we always have our own way." Tang Ze poured a little coffee into his mouth, holding his mobile phone, checking the message sent by Noah, and answered nonchalantly, "I am an expert in escaping death."

When this double-entendre word came out, Conan's eyebrows twitched slightly.

The phrase "死线を越える" can mean escaping from mortal danger, or it can be taken very literally.

——Crossing the line between life and death.

"Those people, if I understand correctly, are..."

"They are the police officers mentioned by Officer Sato and others who have died one after another." Tang Ze did not avoid the question, "I understand what you want to ask. My answer is, yes, it is difficult. Of course, it is not something that can be done easily if you want to do it. I also do not deny that I was active as the 'Phantom Thief of Hearts' in order to achieve the current effect... But in short, yes, I did it."

Conan, who had witnessed the miraculous result with his own eyes, still couldn't help but hold his breath.

No matter how harsh the conditions are, or how difficult it is to achieve the effect, there is almost no need to imagine what effect will be caused by showing even a little bit of this absurd possibility that violates the usual rules.

Countless cases of people being bewitched by extreme religious concepts and losing their minds flashed through his mind. For the sake of so-called health and youth, even if they have occupied so many resources, they will still fall into the madness of the powerful. Conan's expression was particularly solemn.

If this is the ultimate goal of organizational research on cognitive science, combined with APTX4869, the incredible effect will be beyond the imagination of normal people...

Joker didn't say anything, but the playful expression on his face conveyed his meaning clearly.

——"Do you now understand what kind of power you have seen and heard all the way to now?"

"Okay, I know your clever little head is going to wander off to who knows where again. Don't worry, this is a power that is 'monopolized' by us. The boundary between the human world and the 'underworld' is safe for the time being." After appreciating Conan's ever-changing expression, Tang Ze spoke up, interrupting his wandering thoughts, "Now that things have come to this, you already know most of us, so I think there's no need to hide it so much. Noah."

Almost as soon as Joker opened his mouth, Conan felt the phone in his pocket vibrate with a new message.

I took out my phone and saw that the other party had sent me a URL that sounded like garbled code.

He clicked on it to check, and soon the URL jumped to a page where the APP was downloaded and installed at an unimaginable speed, as if it was afraid that he would change his mind.

Conan looked at the software called "Phantom Thief Line" in silence: "..."

"If you need any help, just ask us." Tang Ze raised his finger and tapped his temple. "You know, we always welcome friends like you... Actually, the current 'Kudo Shinichi' can be considered dead, isn't it?"

----

With Tang Ze's words, which were hard to tell whether they were a joke, a temptation, or a threat, Conan almost fled when he left Ni-chome.

Well, he admitted that as he gained a deeper understanding of the power of cognitive science, his curiosity about the Phantom Thieves and the power they held grew, but abandoning his social identity was still a bit too much.

If you can't beat them, then join them. That's not what joining means... "Forget about the others, but why are they coming to the hospital to 'comfort' the criminals who have solid evidence?"

Kogoro Mouri, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was concentrating on driving but couldn't help but complain.

When he was a policeman, he had to deal with criminal suspects all the time in order to ensure the success of the case. He had been a private detective for many years...

Honestly, for a criminal as bad as Pramya, he only hoped that the next time they met would be at the trial.

It would be best to be a witness who can add a heavier punishment to the other party, and the death penalty would be even better.

Thinking about how so many medical resources would be spent on rescuing such a person, he really wanted to curse.

"Dad..." Mao Lilan reminded, "We are not going to visit her. We are mainly, uh, to see the former police officer of the village."

"...That's true." Maori Kogoro curled his lips, "He has already submitted the marriage application form. To cancel the marriage, some procedures and formalities are required."

"If you want to get rid of your relationship with her, Mr. Muranaka, you have to go through the legal process slowly, right?" Mao Lilan had mixed feelings about this unlucky former police officer. "I asked my mother, and she said that because she hasn't regained consciousness yet, the authorities have to find a neutral guardian to represent her in the lawsuit..."

"This incident teaches us a lesson," Tang Ze, who was sitting in the back row, said at the right time, "Before the entire wedding process is completed, we should not be too anxious to submit a marriage application. Nothing is finalized until the dust settles."

"...That's not what you mean." Kogoro Mouri's mouth twitched.

This time, they came to Beihu Central Hospital to be participants in the case and assist Muranaka Tsutomu in completing some evidence chain supplementation and evidence collection.

Unfortunately, as the other party has already established a spouse relationship in the legal sense, now, Pramiya's treatment still requires Muranakanu to sign a few documents. After all, he is now her legal spouse and needs to help her sign the informed consent form for the surgery, etc.

"Who would have thought that 'Christina Lisa' is actually Pramya's true identity?" Conan held his chin and shook his head.

"It's probably because of the complicated situation of foreign marriage." Tang Ze shrugged, "It requires special certification. Using a fake identity that is not officially recognized will not pass the identity verification step."

"She should have really prepared to destroy this identity and hide completely in the darkness." Although this analogy is not good, to some extent, the thinking is indeed the same as that of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.

...Tsk, I think of these people again.

"Mr. Muranaka, you will have to face some other troubles." Mao Lilan sighed softly, "Pramya has his reasons for being able to obtain police intelligence so accurately."

"Well, he will face some investigations later, and the Metropolitan Police Department will not bring charges against him... but it is indeed a damage to him." Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but sigh.

A former police officer in the village was injured and retired after taking the lead in participating in the case. His good reputation was ruined because of this kind of thing.

It would be a lie to say that I don't sympathize with him, but think about the police officers of the First Investigation Division who were put in danger because of him, and the information about Matsuda Jinpei and others that was dug up...

"I can't help it. All I can say is that even after retiring, you still have to carefully select your partner considering your social status."

"Ha, I think this guy has been unpopular with women in the village for so many years. He can't move away when he sees a pretty girl. He doesn't even think about why a pretty young girl would like him..."

"However, Pramiya was able to associate with him for three years just to take advantage of his status and sense of responsibility, as well as the good reputation he has built over the years. She is indeed a patient and terrifying person."

"yes……"

Conan's attention was no longer focused on the conversation between the few people. After thinking about the Phantom Thieves, he couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and look at the unfamiliar APP.

As the name suggests, this is probably a communication program used to facilitate communication within the Phantom Thieves.

The interface and content of the program indeed maintained the consistent artistic style of the Phantom Thieves, just as Conan expected. The red, white and black color scheme coupled with the strong style of the UI gave one the feeling that it was the Phantom Thieves of Hearts at first glance.

What really made him nervous were the nicknames given by this group of people.

He probably knew that this group of thieves, like Joker, had their own fixed code names, making it very formal.

Joker previously claimed that this was a code name used to identify the organization, a code name with a clear meaning at the cognitive level. However, since there were not many opportunities for other people to show up in person, before today, he had not found out all the code names of this group of people, and only learned a few of them through several contacts.

When I took a closer look today, Conan almost couldn't control his expression.

Well, Asai Narimi's name is Lunar, which is understandable to him. It's Moon Shadow Island, and "Moonlight" is inseparable from the influence of the moon. It's human nature to use this code name to commemorate past grudges.

Miyano Akemi's use of illusion is a bit literary, but if you think about it carefully, it is not particularly difficult to understand. The robbery was a lie created by the organization for her to use for self-mockery and deconstruction, and even to taste some insight into the past.

Karma, no matter how you look at it, this is Shimabukuro Kimie, okay, this word used in a specific concept is a noun that fits her identity "before death" and also implicitly coincides with her destiny. Perhaps she has her own considerations.

But what happened to the remaining ones...

This, this Spy, what is it for... If he understood correctly, Pramiya and the Investigation Division could not find the other police officers who were present three years ago because they were public security police with very sensitive and special identities, so, this...

If you swipe down further, it's even heavier.

Trigger is already not funny anymore, and Fuse... even if you name it in a way that fits the character's background, it will still make the faces of all the spectators who know the truth twisted...

Combining with the previous topic, Conan couldn't help but feel that the concentration of hell in this small carriage was a bit high.

"I suddenly feel that Pramya is not such a bad code name..."

"What are you mumbling about, kid? Stop playing with your phone, we're almost there."
