Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

The bodyguards who had seen Lan Ke's "flying knives" before dodged or lay down at the first moment, but with a sound of metal collision, everyone found that what Lan Ke threw out were not flying knives but gold coins.

At the same time, Lan Ke's voice was heard.

"Consider these as compensation for the damage I caused..."

At first, Lan Ke was worried about whether the "gold coins" were fake and whether they could be used in the material world. However, a lot of gold coins were used up when issuing the notice letter this morning, and some of them were recovered by the "police". According to Kudo Shinichi, these gold coins are all real and are "pure gold".

This way, Lan Ke would naturally have no psychological pressure when he was spreading the money, at least he wouldn't be "ruining the reputation of the thief by using counterfeit money."

As he scattered the gold coins, he suddenly turned around and drew circles towards the glass with the long staff in his hand, then pushed it hard.

“Sizzle~~!!”

Accompanied by an extremely shrill buzzing sound, the glass was cut directly, and Lan Ke pushed the cut glass and jumped out of the building, and then a gust of wind rushed into the hall.

Almost at the same time, Kudo Shinichi rushed across the crowd to the glass, held on to the bracket beside him and stuck his head out, but he only saw his robe fluttering in the strong wind.

But then there was a sudden choke, and the originally falling figure was suddenly hanging on the wall.

But before Kudo Shinichi could continue observing, an angry voice sounded behind him.

Slim: Bayishao saves his wife and uncle from death

"Little devil! Are you trying to kill yourself?!"

Then Kudo Shinichi was dragged in by Nakamori Ginzo, and after he glanced down, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

Although as a policeman relying on "intuition" to act seems to have something wrong, his intuition tells him that the "bird-beaked weirdo" just now should be the real "Phantom Thief".

but------

"It's not that easy to escape from me!"

As Nakamori Ginzo finished his words, a roaring sound accompanied a stronger gust of wind than before, blasting into the room. Then, everyone saw a Metropolitan Police Department helicopter slowly descend from the sky, its massive searchlight beaming directly onto Lan Ke, who was hanging outside the Zeyue Building...

Chapter 62 'The Real Murderer' and 'The Ghost!'

Lan Ke's plan was simple. He would take advantage of the opportunity to divert everyone's attention and jump directly out of the building. With the help of his enhanced physical fitness after wearing the 'Phantom Thief Suit', he would hover in the air with his cane and then use the 'Extra-Dimensional Navigation' to enter the 'Impression Space'.

Although the "palace" has collapsed, the "impression space" is still normal. At that time, you only need to enter the building from the inside of the impression space, then find a safe point and run out to meet Kudo Shinichi.

I have to say that Lan Ke’s plan was beautiful, but reality gave him a hard blow.

The searchlight above his head made Lan Ke's surroundings as bright as day.

If he had 'suddenly disappeared' before, even if someone had been staring at Lan Ke, they would have thought he had hidden himself in the darkness. This technique is very common in magic.

On the other hand, if you disappear out of thin air under the searchlight, that would be troublesome.

Although a normal person's first reaction would certainly be to "hide himself using some unknown method", as the saying goes, it is better to be safe than sorry. In order to protect the three views of ordinary people and to prevent greater trouble from coming, Lan Ke chose a more reliable solution.

Lan Ke first stood up straight, then pulled out the long stick that had been inserted into the building, and then he saw himself running wildly on the outer tempered glass of the building as if he was running on the ground.

The reporters gathered below knew about Ze Yuezhi's shooting almost at the same time as the police received the intelligence.

After all, although the important figures at the scene would not take the initiative to sell information to the newspaper, the waiters at the scene might not.

However, the 'Zeyue Real Estate Building' is private property and belongs to a large conglomerate. Ordinary reporters dare not rush in, not to mention that there are police at the gate to maintain order.

Everyone gathered at the door waiting for someone to show up so they could get first-hand information.

The 'Zeyue Group' might not be among the top ten groups in Japan, but it is still a large group. But how could the head of such a group be shot dead at the anniversary celebration held in his own building?

This topic is 100% explosive!

Not to mention that according to some waiters' revelations, the murderer is very likely the thief who distributed the 'warning letter' before!

Almost everyone has a formula in mind.

The murder of a major conglomerate's leader + a surprise letter from a thief = big news

The reporters seemed to have been given stimulants, and the scene, which had been under control, suddenly became agitated.

But what no one expected was that at this moment, there was a cry of surprise from outside the building, and some reporters who did not squeeze in even pointed their cameras or video cameras above their heads.

Some reporters who were crowded inside also reacted quickly and came out of the building together, and then they saw an extremely shocking scene.

A police helicopter shone its searchlight on the outer wall of the Zeyue Real Estate Building and moved at an extremely fast speed.

Some of the reporters who reacted faster instantly adjusted the focus of their cameras and locked onto the falling black spot.

I saw a figure wearing a bird-beak mask and a strange white coat running at an incredible speed on the tempered glass of the building's exterior wall.

Such a fast speed?

Is the other person committing suicide?

of course not!

Lan Ke, who was running wildly all the way, gradually leaned back when he crossed the glass exterior wall and came to the concrete wall. He adjusted from his original wild running to falling upside down. At the same time, he suddenly turned around and stretched out the long staff in his hand to stab into the wall.

"Click~"

Lan Ke felt like his arm was dislocated, but it wasn't a big deal.

After changing hands, he used the long staff as a fulcrum and gradually stood on the wall again. Lan Ke bent his legs slightly and then kicked hard.

"Click~!"

A footprint was kicked out directly on the wall, and Lan Ke used the force of the kick to pull out his long staff and leap into the air.

"boom!!"

With a sound even more exaggerated than before, Lan Ke finally got rid of the searchlight on the helicopter.

Obviously, if Lan Ke's running all the way on the wall was already outrageous, then his sudden stop and then jumping onto the concrete ground with the help of a parabola on the outer wall of a nearly 30-meter-high building without any buffer was simply counterintuitive.

In particular, the bloody shoe prints left on the ground by his fall further proved that everything Lan Ke had just done did not involve any magic tricks.

When the police officers from Section 2 who were on guard below realized something was wrong and wanted to chase Lan Ke, Lan Ke had already escaped into an alley nearby.

Looking at Lan Ke who broke through the defense line and rode away openly, Nakamori Ginzo, who was standing on the top floor of the building, finally couldn't laugh anymore.

As a "battle-hardened" police officer, whether he was chasing "Kaito Kidd" when he was just starting out, or leading the team to support the capture of the "Cat's Eye Sisters" a few years ago, although he did not catch these thieves in the end, the two sides fought back and forth, but he did catch quite a few clowns disguised as "thieves".

It is precisely because of this that he has been able to serve as the manager of "Section Two" even when he has been unable to capture the "Phantom Thief".

After all, this position is too hot.

Not to mention the usual workload, once a 'Phantom Thief' shows up, one will often suffer setbacks. Basically, very few people in this position can be promoted, and only people like Ginzo Nakamori, who have an 'inextricable bond' with the Phantom Thief, are willing to gamble their careers and stay in this position.

Although he didn't know at first whether the so-called 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts' were real 'Phantom Thieves' or 'poor imitators', he made a lot of preparations.

Whether it was the fully armed members of Section 2 or the police helicopter requested in advance, it was enough to show his seriousness.

But unexpectedly, the 'Phantom Thief of Hearts' encountered this time didn't use magic or any high-tech equipment. Instead, he used a method of force to forcibly break through the blockade...

Nakamori Ginzo gritted his teeth and for some reason his emotions also became aroused.

He hasn't been this excited for years since 'Cat's Eye' retired!!

However, just as he was about to lead a team to search the entire building for clues that might have been missed, he suddenly discovered Kudo Shinichi squatting next to the corpse, and the veins on his forehead suddenly bulged.

I don't know whether it was because he thought it was not good for an ordinary high school student to gather around a corpse, or because Kudo Shinichi's face was somewhat similar to someone's, which made him extremely unhappy, but he grabbed Kudo Shinichi's collar without any hesitation.

"Kid! Don't run around the crime scene! Chief Inspector Utsumi, get this kid out and wait for the Investigation Division to take over..."

Kudo Shinichi, who was grabbed by the collar, instinctively tried to resist, but unfortunately, Nakamori Ginzo didn't know whether it was because he was unhappy or simply motivated, but Kudo Shinichi failed to break free, so he had to speak quickly.

"Wait! Officer! I think I found a clue!!"

Although he was mainly responsible for high-intelligence crimes, as a policeman, Nakamori Ginzo was instinctively stunned.

"What did you say?"

"Officer! I think I found a clue!"

Taking advantage of Ginzo Nakamori's distraction, Kudo Shinichi broke free from his hand and then quickly walked to the opening that Lan Ke had opened in the glass wall.

"I just felt very strange. The guy who called himself the 'Phantom Thief of Hearts' had obviously decided to escape by going through the outer wall from the beginning. But why didn't he choose the glass closest to him, but instead went the long way around..."

Kudo Shinichi's voice seemed to have some kind of magic that unconsciously attracted everyone's attention. Even though he became the focus of everyone, he was not nervous at all and continued to talk freely.

"So I suspected there might be something wrong with this glass, and sure enough, I found it..."

As he spoke, he pointed to a certain place on the glass. Nakamori Ginzo hurried over and saw a bullet hole as expected.

"So the one who killed 'President Zeyue' wasn't that 'Bird-Faced Phantom Thief', but someone else?"

"That's right. Not only that, based on President Zeyue's height and the location where he was shot, we can measure the location of the murderer who shot President Zeyue..."

Kudo Shinichi seemed very calm about finding the bullet hole. After all, even if he didn't point it out, it would be discovered during the on-site investigation later. However, measuring the shooting point based on the bullet hole, the location and direction of the bullet is not a skill that ordinary people can master.

'Thanks to Dad for teaching me how to shoot in Hawaii.'

While sighing in his mind, Kudo Shinichi took out his notebook and began to gesture. Finally, he compared it with the map that he had instructed some police officer to bring, and then drew a circle on the map.

"It's the top floor of this building. The murderer shot 'President Zeyue' here!"

Looking at the confident Kudo Shinichi, Nakamori Ginzo didn't waste any time and directly took out the walkie-talkie and asked his subordinates to conduct the exploration first.

Although the main responsibility of the Second Investigation Division is to investigate "high-intelligence crimes", the First Investigation Division has not yet arrived, and the police officers of the Second Investigation Division obviously don't mind helping out.

Soon, Nakamori Ginzo's subordinates brought back the news.

"Although I didn't find the lost shell casing, my men said they found a prone Dust Mark... What happened?"

Ginzo Nakamori was halfway through his speech when he suddenly noticed that Shinichi Kudo was looking at him with a strange look, and he couldn't help but ask a question in return.

Kudo Arata kept shaking his head about this. After all, he couldn't say that the other party had given him an unreliable impression before, so he doubted what the other party said, right?

But Ginzo Nakamori seemed to see through Kudo Shinichi's thoughts and showed a very serious expression.

"We in Section Two are experts in this area! Even though the 'Phantom Thief' escaped this time, it was because we didn't expect him to be capable of such a thing. But next time, we won't let him get away so easily!"

When he said this, Ginzo Nakamori seemed to be on fire.

Although Kudo Shinichi was full of complaints, he was actually relieved.

He couldn't explain why. This was his first meeting with the so-called 'Phantom Thief', but when the other party said, "Isn't it the duty of the police and detectives to find the truth?", he felt as if his heart was touched.

Although his father created one of the most famous "Phantom Thieves" of this era, Kudo Shinichi himself is more interested in orthodox detective novels. Even though he lives in a society with "real-life Phantom Thieves", he rarely pays attention to their news.

But today, for some reason, he suddenly became interested.

But soon he frowned again. Although it had been confirmed that the murderer of Ze Yuezhi was an outsider, it was actually not a difficult task. Even if it was handed over to the police, it would only be a matter of time.

There are still many doubts in this case.

The guy who called himself the 'Phantom Thief of Hearts' called himself a 'criminal' because he had already stolen what he wanted to take.

In other words, the other party has succeeded.

So what exactly does the other party mean by "desire"?

In contrast, Ze Yuezhi's confession and self-explosion before his death... He suspected that the other party was most likely silenced.

After all, even the news he revealed was enough to cause a huge uproar, and judging from the other party's appearance before his death, it seemed that he was planning to continue talking.

Thinking of this, Kudo Shinichi's belief that the other party might have been silenced increased even more.

"Mr. Police Officer!!"

"What else?"

Although Kudo Shinichi's face made Nakamori Ginzo very unhappy, considering that the other party helped the police save a lot of police manpower, Nakamori Ginzo at least did not ignore him.

"Could you please ask the organizer for the list of people who will be there tonight?"

"What do you mean?"

"I suspect President Zeyue might have been silenced. After all, before his death, he revealed a lot of things for unknown reasons. He was shot dead when he was about to continue talking..."

Kudo Shinichi deliberately paused for a moment, but unfortunately Nakamori Ginzo still had an expression of "what are you talking about", which made Kudo Shinichi very helpless, as if there was one person missing in the crosstalk.

After sighing helplessly in his heart, he directly revealed the answer.

"The murderer who killed President Zeyue couldn't have known what happened at the scene, which means someone must have informed the murderer about what happened at the scene..."

At this point, even Nakamori Ginzo had realized what was going on.

"So, the murderer's accomplice is at the scene?!"

"That's right!!"

Following Kudo Shinichi's decisive voice, Nakamori Ginzo didn't waste any time and directly asked his subordinates to get the roster.
