Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

He turned his head suddenly and saw a figure standing on another person's shoulder. When their eyes met in the air, the other person pounced towards him.

Feeling the huge force coming from his wrist, Kudo Shinichi instinctively tried to break free.

Not to mention that he was being hunted, just looking at the other party's brutal behavior just now and the way he was wearing a mask to hide his head and face, who would believe that he was a decent person?

But what made Kudo Shinichi's face change drastically was that he was unable to break free even with all his strength.

Fortunately, a low voice was heard at this time.

"Wooden knife!"

Hearing the other party's prompt, Kudo Shinichi reacted instantly.

But before he could be happy, a low chuckle was heard.

"Lower your head!!"

Although he didn't know what was happening, Kudo Shinichi instinctively lowered his head, and then saw a silver light flash before his eyes.

"Crack!!!"

"Ahhhh!!!"

Kudo Shinichi's face changed drastically in an instant as the extremely exaggerated voice sounded.

He definitely didn't hear the sound of the broken bones wrongly!

At the same time, because of the hint just now, Kudo Shinichi recognized that the person who came to save him was Lan Ke.

But what if Lan Ke accidentally kills someone for his own sake?

This is what he is worried about.

But Lan Ke seemed to sense Kudo Shinichi's worry, and while motioning him to follow him, he explained.

"Don't worry, I hit his arm, at most it will be broken."

Lan Ke was quite confident about this. As long as the other party was sent to the hospital in time, the plaster cast would be removed within two months.

Although Kudo Shinichi always felt that something was wrong, he didn't care about anything else when he heard the breathing sounds behind him. He simply stepped over the hooligans who were wailing on the ground and followed.

But at this moment, a door was suddenly pushed open in the alley that seemed to be a dead end, and then a gangster holding a dagger rushed out.

The other party looked at the gangster who was wailing under Kudo Shinichi's crotch, was stunned at first, and then stared with his eyes wide open.

"くそ(bastard)!! Die ね(die!!)"

"Be careful!!"

The other party's angry curse and Kudo Shinichi's reminder sounded almost at the same time.

Although the thug in front of him looked extremely ferocious, he was still far inferior to Lan Ke, who was already accustomed to all kinds of "monsters and ghosts" in the "impression space".

If he wanted to, he could easily avoid it, but thinking of the "ordinary male high school student" behind him, Lan Ke only had one choice.

He suddenly quickened his pace, and then lashed out with a powerful blow on the back of the opponent's hand. The man, who had originally had a ferocious face, immediately revealed a 'mask of pain', and the dagger in his hand fell directly to the ground.

There was no need to look, it was obvious that the hand was a comminuted fracture, but Lan Ke kicked the opponent in the chest without mercy.

"boom!!!"

With a loud bang, the man in front of him slammed his back against the open door.

The force was so great that the door hinge, which was not very strong to begin with, broke completely.

In Kudo Shinichi's field of vision, Lan Ke kicked a gangster away and "imprinted" him on a metal door panel, but before he could be surprised, he saw Lan Ke suddenly sprinted again and directly rushed onto the three-meter-high wall.

Not only that, Lan Ke hung on the wall with one hand and one foot while extending his other hand to him.

"quick!!"

Although Kudo Shinichi does not know fighting skills, his physical fitness is definitely not bad. However, the wall is too high, and he is afraid of being discovered by the noise, so he naturally does not dare to climb over it. But with Lan Ke's help, he jumped up suddenly and grabbed Lan Ke's right hand, and then he felt a force coming from above.

With the help of this force, his body rose a little higher, and then he grabbed the wall with his left hand and climbed up.

Even at this moment, looking at the thugs below who were cursing and taking out their cell phones, Kudo Shinichi still felt cold sweat coming out.

He originally thought he was hiding well, but he was discovered unexpectedly. He even thought there was a side door behind him where he was safe. The gangster who tried to sneak attack him before should have come out from there.

Sure enough, I still underestimated my opponent.

Maybe when it comes to reasoning, the group of thugs below are not as good as him, but when it comes to street fighting, he is still far behind.

But before he could continue sighing, Lan Ke on the other side spoke again.

"What are you looking at! Let's go! Those guys down there must have informed others to surround us!"

After saying that, Lan Ke took a running start and jumped directly to the roof of another building. It was not until then that Kudo Shinichi reacted and hurriedly chased after him.

Relying on his physical fitness far beyond that of ordinary people, Lan Ke can be said to be "unconventional" and directly took Kudo Shinichi to jump left and right on the roof, until there were no buildings in front of them, Lan Ke took the lead and jumped down.

It was only then that Kudo Shinichi leaned against the wall and began to breathe heavily.

It was obvious that he had overdrawn too much physical strength after jumping up and down all the time. Now that the adrenaline was no longer secreted, he even felt dizzy.

Fortunately, Lan Ke directly supported his shoulder and signaled him not to stop and to walk slowly first.

Knowing Lan Ke's purpose, Kudo Shinichi did not resist but half leaned on Lan Ke's shoulder and walked for a distance before he couldn't help but speak again.

"How did you come?"

"After finishing my part-time job, my right eyelid started twitching. I felt like something was wrong. I figured you, Kudo, must have come to investigate, so I decided to come check it out before leaving. I saw a bunch of thugs swearing and cursing, and I figured you were probably exposed."

As he spoke, Lan Ke took out his cell phone and kept typing something. After a while, the headlights that suddenly lit up in the distance made Kudo Shinichi instinctively squint his eyes until the other party stopped in front of them.

"Where are the pursuers?"

Looking at the golden head sticking out from the co-pilot seat, Lan Ke, who was supporting Kudo Shinichi, nodded at the other party as a greeting.

"I think I've gotten away from them, but I wonder if anyone will catch up with them, Sagara-senpai..."

After hearing what Lan Ke said, Sosuke Sagara, who was sitting in the driver's seat, also nodded in response.

"Don't worry, I don't use this car very often, and there's no surveillance around here. Even the police wouldn't be able to find out anything, let alone a group of thugs..."

Although Sosuke Sagara was trying to comfort them, Shinichi Kudo, who was also sitting in the back row, always felt that there was something wrong with his remarks, as if he were some kind of outlaw.

Pretty much the same actually.

Because of the "female victim case", Cruz directly lived in Sosuke Sagara's store to help him, while Mao protected Chidori Kaname.

It happened that Lan Ke called, and the two of them rushed over together.

Because Lan Ke said that they might have provoked the local underworld, the two of them not only carried cold weapons but also "conveniently" stuffed some ammunition under the back seat.

If necessary, it is even enough to deal with a small local conflict.

It was obvious that although the two sides were only temporarily cooperating, he still had great admiration for his two juniors, Lan Ke and Kudo Shinichi, not to mention that they had encountered danger in order to protect their neighborhood...

Chapter 47 RANK UP! Holmes and Watson!

Kudo Shinichi, who took the change of clothes handed to him by Cruz, had no idea that he was sitting on a real "pile of explosives".

Soon, as the two "masked thieves" turned into ordinary male high school students, Sosuke Sagara and his car drove into a busier street.

It was only then that Kudo Shinichi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was obvious that tonight's experience was a bit too exciting for him.

Although he grew up reading his father's novels and later provided assistance to the police more than once, and encountered some "extremely vicious" criminals during this period, this was the first time he had encountered such an exaggerated situation as today.

Whether it was the several thugs who initially attacked them, or the pursuers they saw when they were escaping on the roof, there were more than a dozen attackers they witnessed, and who knew how many more they didn't see.

Only then did he feel a little scared sitting in the car.

Indeed, his father's identity as the "greatest mystery writer of this century" can indeed provide him with considerable help in many cases, but it is meaningless to those who do not follow the rules at all.

Looking at Kudo Shinichi whose breathing was getting heavier beside him, Lan Ke guessed that the other party's adrenaline had completely subsided and he seemed to be a little scared.

However, considering the other party's stubborn character, I don't know how long this fear will last.

But for now, let him help the other party shorten the CD first.

"You're in such a mess, Kudo, don't tell me you didn't find any clues."

Faced with Lan Ke's teasing, Kudo Shinichi, who was originally feeling a little scared with almost half of his body sunk into the backrest, suddenly "bounced" up, as if he wanted to give the strongest counterattack to Lan Ke's "slander".

“Of course not!!”

As he spoke, he took out a notebook from his pocket.

Why in my arms?

Because his schoolbag had been left at the subway station near the school, the clothes he had just put on and the clothes he was going to change into were all bought when he came, and the notebook was naturally stuffed in the pile of clothes.

"The third suspect, 'Ze Yuezhi,' is the owner of Ze Yue Real Estate. Normally, he's impossible to contact. However, it just so happens that Ze Yue Real Estate is holding its '20th Anniversary Party' the day after tomorrow, so he'll definitely show up. If he invites my dad, then we can... take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in."

Perhaps because of tonight's experience, Kudo Shinichi instinctively added a "they", but in order to offset this strange feeling of embarrassment, he unconsciously speeded up his speech.

"Last night, I went through all the information my dad had collected on 'sex crimes' in my study. Based on his analysis, these criminals can be divided into active and passive types based on their personal will."

"Passive types, most likely have been stimulated in the past. This could be due to personal abuse, dysfunctional family relationships, or witnessing relevant scenes that distorted their mental state. In this case, we can look for clues in the suspect's past..."

Unlike the embarrassment he felt when he was being chased before, because this matter involved his own 'professional field', Kudo Shinichi, who was half leaning back in his chair, looked quite relaxed. His confident words made him look like a general commanding a country.

Even Sosuke Sagara, who was sitting in the driver's seat, couldn't help but glance at Shinichi Kudo.

He and Cruz are undoubtedly excellent fighters, but they are not good at investigation and analysis.

Or perhaps his best method of investigation is to tie up the target and interrogate him, but this method is undoubtedly not usable at the moment. Kudo Shinichi's presence may be of great help to them.

Shinichi Kudo, who had no idea that he had unknowingly attracted the attention of Sosuke Sagara, was still explaining to himself.

"Regarding this, Inspector Megure and his team have already begun investigating. I think there should be news soon."

"As for active crimes, they can be divided into impulsive crimes and premeditated crimes."

"Although impulsive crimes are relatively random, due to the criminals' lack of experience, they often leave sufficient clues. However, in the past, when investigative capabilities were weaker, some clues may be missed. Once the criminals find that their crimes will not be punished, they are likely to commit crimes repeatedly."

"However, the biggest characteristics of this type of criminal are 'violence' and 'sadism', which doesn't quite fit with this case. However, considering that the crimes may have lasted for a long time and the criminals' criminal skills are constantly improving, I have also asked Inspector Megure to investigate this during his visit."

Kudo Shinichi frowned as he spoke.

"Premeditated criminals are also the most troublesome type. They often obliterate any traces at the scene, making it difficult to track them down. We often have to wait for them to reveal their flaws..."

Cruz's expression became extremely ugly when he heard this.

Although he was once criticized for his chaotic personal relationships, Cruz did not care and often regarded himself as a "playboy". After all, in his opinion, the relationship between him and any woman was consensual and everyone parted ways amicably. He would not take the initiative to destroy other people's families. He can be said to be two completely opposite types of people from such criminals.

"Doesn't that mean we can only wait for the next 'victim' to appear?"

"No!"

Facing Cruz who was in a bad mood, Kudo Shinichi denied it categorically and turned to the second page of the notebook.

"This time, the perpetrator is quite unusual. According to my inquiries with the victims' families, two of them said they had lost something they had given them, while the third family member said they had no idea."

"I suspect the criminal has a habit of collecting items from the victims. This is consistent with some criminals' habits, and this is also the purpose of our infiltration into the 'Zeyue Building'! During this period, I will first try to find the places where the criminal often stays, and then look for any 'personal belongings of the victim' that may be hidden!"

Hearing this, Cruz and Sosuke Sagara's eyes lit up.

Obviously, compared with the previous long discussion, this is much easier for them to understand.

Suddenly, the originally depressing atmosphere in the car eased a lot.

Those present were not ordinary people. They were more worried about not finding their way than the difficulties and problems themselves.

Now that the direction has been determined, things have become much simpler.

On the contrary, Lan Ke didn't care too much. After all, compared to Kudo Shinichi, who had not yet determined who the "suspect" was, Lan Ke had already found the criminal. All he needed to do next was to complete the "stealing of hearts".

But at this moment, Lan Ke was suddenly stunned, because he seemed to realize that something was wrong!

Although 'Yoshiwara (Palace)' corresponds to 'Taito District', it is ultimately Sawakoshi's 'palace', not a normal 'impression space'.

If it is a simple 'impression space', then due to the correspondence between the material world and the spiritual world, part of the material world will also be projected into the spiritual world.

But everything in the "palace" is influenced by the palace owner. Those shadows lack subjective initiative and often patrol or act according to established procedures.
