Now the two are officially married, and even their daughter has been born for a long time, but when he sees a similar man, he still finds it difficult to suppress his inner anger.

This also caused his tone to be unpleasant.

"You'll need to watch the news later for the specific details. We will announce everything that can be announced."

When Kudo Shinichi heard the words of Higashikata Josuke, the police officer who had a conflict with him, he became anxious in an instant.

"Wait! I'm also a person involved. I have the right to know..."

Kudo Shinichi tried to increase his voice, but unfortunately he was completely interrupted before he could finish his words.

"Kid! Although I don't like you, this time it's not because of my personal reasons. Let me remind you, even if you ask Inspector Megure, it will be useless. I guess the 'Superintendent General' will be here soon."

After that, the call was hung up, leaving Kudo Shinichi looking at the phone in confusion.

"Seal off the scene! No one is allowed to enter the 'dark room'. Turn off all cell phones! Wait for the 'Alert Director' to make the final decision on the rest!!"

Josuke Higashikata's words stunned the police officers working in the room. They looked at each other and didn't know whether they should follow each other's instructions. After all, there was no one in the room who was higher in rank than Josuke Higashikata, but there were several who were at the same level, even the newcomer Takagi Wataru was at the same level as him.

But when the police officer, who also had a grim expression on his face, walked out of the 'dark room' and nodded to everyone, everyone realized that things might be more troublesome than they had imagined, and they quickly took out their cell phones.

The 'evidence' left behind by Ze Yuezhi has begun to cause the first ripples, and one can imagine what kind of huge waves will be triggered next.

On the other side, Kudo Shinichi looked confused as he saw his phone being hung up.

It was obvious that the situation had gone beyond his expectations.

"Shinichi?"

Looking at his childhood sweetheart's concerned expression, Kudo Shinichi forced a smile and shook his head.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. The case has been solved."

But at the same time, a huge wave was set off in his heart.

Alert Director?

The shooting of the chairman of a large conglomerate is indeed enough to alarm the other party, but the problem is that Higashikata Josuke specifically mentioned the other party, so it is definitely not as simple as just coming to say hello. Maybe the other party will be personally responsible for this case.

How big is this case?

Kudo Shinichi couldn't even imagine it, but he suddenly remembered a key word mentioned by Josuke Higashikata - news!

He then quickly took out his cell phone and started searching for news, but before he could continue searching, the large TV on the outer wall of the shopping mall in the distance had already started broadcasting live.

"Last night at 19:34 PM, Zeyue Zhi, chairman of the Zeyue Group, was shot and killed at the 60th anniversary celebration held at the Zeyue Building. Police revealed that this may be related to his involvement in a series of sexual assaults on women, and police are not ruling out the possibility of a vendetta."

"This morning, his spouse, Ms. Sawagoe Tomoe, held a press conference, confirming the police's account and expressing deep regret for not stopping his crimes over the years. She also stated that the Sawagoe Foundation will do its utmost to atone for the crimes committed by former president Sawagoe Tomo, and that she will be resigning..."

As the news was broadcast, the host's position became the live broadcast scene.

Kudo Shinichi, who attended the 'anniversary celebration' last night, immediately recognized that this was the conference room on the top floor of the Zeyue Real Estate Building.

Ze Yueba in the picture has changed his strong and indifferent attitude from last night. His eyes are red and he seems to have aged a lot.

The other party sobbed and apologized to everyone.

'Red bean paste smith Masai! ! '

She said that although she knew her husband had committed an unforgivable crime, she would try her best to make up for the sins he had committed.

Seeing this, Lan Ke sighed.

If Ze Yuezhi had not taken that irreversible step at that time, or if he had been able to muster up the courage in advance, perhaps everything would be different?

It’s a pity that there is no if in this world, and everyone must pay the price for their actions.

Before Lan Ke could continue to sigh, the screen changed and the host appeared again and continued the broadcast.

"It's been reported that Ms. Zeyueba received a letter of warning from the Phantom Thieves of Hearts before revealing her husband's crimes to the police. Furthermore, her husband also received a letter of warning and even made attempts to reveal his crimes before he was shot. The police are unable to confirm whether there is a connection between the two and further investigation is needed..."

Although the news did not confirm the connection between the two, Kudo Shinichi, who was staring at the news footage, couldn't help but recall what happened last night.

That's what the 'Phantom Thief' with the bird-beak mask said at the time—

'I've taken what I wanted'

At that time, no one knew what the other party was referring to. After all, the phrase "twisted desires" in the other party's preview letter was just a reference no matter how you looked at it. As for what it specifically referred to, no one knew.

But now it seems that perhaps there is no reference in the notice letter, perhaps the "facts" are simply written on the notice letter.

But the question is, can "desire" really be stolen?

But if it couldn't be stolen, how do we explain Ze Yuezhi's unusual behavior of apologizing to everyone and taking the initiative to disclose his crime last night?

This morning, 'Ze Yueba' also chose to confess the information he knew to the police.

For a moment, Kudo Shinichi fell silent, his three views were under severe impact.

Lan Ke, who was standing next to him, also seemed to be thinking, but in fact he was thinking about something else.

"Indeed, this is the right way."

What Lan Ke was referring to was not just the fact that the deeds of the "Phantom Thieves of Hearts" were made public, but also the reaction of the public.

Although this news is big, everyone is rushing to work or school in the morning. Who has nothing to do to watch the news?

Everyone is very busy.

But with the news on the big screen, many people have also noticed this incident, and some people with strong action have even searched the Internet for a lot of true or false information.

With the help of his enhanced five senses, Lan Ke noticed that many passers-by stopped, and then the three terms "Zeyuezhi", "Zeyue Group" and "Phantom Thieves of Heart" were constantly mentioned.

Although the "bomb" was not detonated directly because the case was too serious, it was delayed until today before it was completely exposed.

But the influence it brought was enough to make the "Phantom Thieves of Hearts" enter the public's field of vision in an unstoppable manner.

At this moment, he wanted to turn back to the 'subway station' immediately to confirm whether the 'impression space' had changed.

But reason made him give up this idea temporarily.

After all, the "impression space" is there, and it makes no difference whether it is later or earlier.

But he still couldn't help but look in a certain direction.

Indeed, even with his enhanced five senses, it was impossible for him to see the scene dozens of kilometers away, but at this moment he seemed to see a tall building being engulfed in flames, burning, and then collapsing.

A building built on sin, no matter how gorgeous it looks, cannot escape decay and destruction!

He stood there for several seconds until Mao Lilan called Lan Ke to go to school together, then Lan Ke turned around.

Lan Ke was smiling at this moment, and looked no different from usual. However, Mao Lilan felt that there was something strange about Lan Ke today, as if he had become more confident...

The Book of Jealousy: Sinful Heaven

Chapter 1: The Phantom Thieves of Hearts Countermeasures Headquarters is established!!

Although it is not known whether it is because his body has become that of a teenager, Lan Ke's hormone secretion seems to have recovered a lot. He has seen countless bodies of the opposite sex before and was able to remain unmoved, but now he is unconsciously attracted by it.

But fortunately, his adult thinking and calm brain honed over the years helped him restrain some unnecessary reactions.

In Lan Ke's opinion, his biggest advantage over others, apart from his "hack", is his mature way of thinking.

No matter how mature he is, he was just a department director in his previous life, and he relied on his strength to crush others to become the department director. He has not experienced much "office struggle" and naturally does not know how terrible the things he has thrown out are.

Just as Lan Ke went to school with satisfaction, most of the police officers headed by "Superintendent Baiba" in the requisitioned meeting room in the "Zeyue Real Estate Building" had serious expressions.

Needless to say, Megure Jusan, the head of the Investigation Section 1 who was directly in charge of the on-site investigation, had an extremely grim expression.

Being older than Kogoro Mori, he is now just a 'police captain'. It is highly likely that he has no chance to move up in the ranks. At most, he can be promoted half a level before retirement. Then, a higher pension upon retirement will be his destined future.

So he himself doesn't like to scheme for personal gain. Of course, it may also be because he doesn't like to scheme for personal gain that he has stayed in the position of police chief for almost 20 years.

In general, Megure Juzo is a traditional "good policeman" who works hard and has no desire for his position.

So he also hates things outside of work, but unfortunately he has been involved in it this time and has no choice.

Although the incident of Ze Yuezhi being shot had a significant impact, the case was very simple.

If someone is shot, just look for the murderer who shot him.

As for the possibility that he is a professional killer and cannot be caught?

He had no choice but to admit his mistake when the time came. The only thing he could guarantee was to try his best during the arrest, that's all.

But no one expected that the crimes committed by Ze Yuezhi himself would implicate a lot of bigwigs.

Although strictly speaking these "big shots" are also victims, the information involved is so sensitive that it is impossible to allow it to be exposed.

This kind of thing is not a dirty job, and Megure Jusan does not mind it, but the problem is that even if you do it well, you will not be treated well, and you may even be suspected by the bigwigs above. If you don't do it well... you will definitely be retaliated against.

Who would like to have such a hot potato dropped into their hands out of nowhere?

Apart from that, the only person who stayed with Megure Jusan in the Investigation Division was Josuke Higashikata.

Theoretically, he was not qualified to appear at this meeting. After all, although he was famous, his position was not high enough. He was not even a deputy police lieutenant. How could he be qualified to sit at the table?

But the problem is that he was the first person to discover the "key clue" and he had read the entire notebook.

Calling him here was more about silencing him than asking him to give advice.

"I'm sorry, Brother Dongfang, you've just come to our search department and you've already run into this kind of trouble..."

Faced with Megure Jusan's apology, Josuke Higashikata, who was leaning back in his chair with his arms folded, thinking about something, was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he did not expect Megure Jusan to apologize to him, but he still smiled and shook his head.

"This has nothing to do with you, Officer Megure. I was mentally prepared before I decided to become a police officer. Besides, as a police officer, being able to participate in such a major case will give me something to brag about to my daughter when I'm old, right?"

Looking at the smile on Josuke Higashikata's face, Megure Juzo didn't say much, just patted the other's shoulder, but it was obvious that he had already remembered everything.

Looking at Megure Juzo's serious expression, Higashikata Josuke didn't know what to say for a moment.

After all, he really didn't care, and he had no intention of going to the Metropolitan Police Department anyway.

The reason he came to Tokyo was different from that of most young people.

The vast majority of ordinary people come to Tokyo because they are tired of their hometown and want to find a new way out. To this end, they try their best to take root in this big city of Tokyo.

But Josuke Higashikata is different. He came to Tokyo simply to "study", to learn more advanced crime-solving techniques so that he can better perform his duties when he returns.

So he doesn't care at all. As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, the most he will get is kicked back.

If that’s the case, then what is there to be afraid of?

As for going further?

Although almost no one knows that Josuke Higashikata is a member of the "Joestar Clan", and he himself has no intention of using the influence of the Joestar Family to seek convenience for himself, but if he is bullied, he is not a masochist, so he will naturally seek advice from Jotaro Kujo.

At this time, Josuke Higashikata not only lost some of his youthful recklessness, but also gained some of the wisdom of an adult.

The one standing here now is 'Higashigata Josuke PLUS'!

If that’s the case, then what is there to be afraid of?

So Josuke Higashikata seemed very relaxed.

Compared to Josuke Higashikata and Jusan Megure, who can be said to be "strong without desire", Superintendent Matsumoto Seinaga, who is the leader of the two, has a serious expression.

The names that Megure Jusan reported to him made his eyebrows twitch. He asked the other party to stop talking without even listening to a few of them. Instead, he drove all the way here while reporting to his superiors. After all, if this matter was not handled properly, the entire investigation department might be fired, and he basically had no chance of getting promoted.

Compared to the seriousness of the officers from the First Division of Investigation Section 1, most of the officers from the First Division of Investigation Section 2 sitting on the other side of the conference room were yawning and seemed to be in worse condition than those from Investigation Section 1.

After all, although the Investigation Section One investigated all night, because the case was not complicated, even the officers in charge of handling the 'dark room' had the opportunity to take a break during their shifts. On the contrary, the officers of the Investigation Section Two searched the nearby park thoroughly in order to search for the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts'.

Last night, in order to force Kaito Kidd out and to make it easier to escape, Lan Ke took him into a nearby park, and the Second Investigation Section also followed him in.

Although he encountered the "little accident" of Busujima Saeko, Lan Ke still successfully completed his goal.

However, Lan Ke's success also means the failure of Investigation Section 2.

Following Busujima Saeko's instructions, the Second Investigation Section plowed the park thoroughly, but in fact, Lan Ke had already taken a car back home at that time.

This also caused Nakamori Ginzo and Utsumi Toshio to yawn constantly, but because they didn't know the specific reason, they seemed quite relaxed.

However, a young man sitting next to them was pinching his chin as if he was thinking about something.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and asked Ginzo Nakamori in a low voice.

"Inspector Asuka, are you saying that this new Phantom Thief also knows magic like 'Kaito Kid' and 'Saint Girl'?"

"That's right. Otherwise, there's no explanation for his sudden appearance above the venue. However, the only question is why he suddenly revealed himself. According to Officer Nakamori, he didn't seem to intend to reveal himself."

Although Ginzo Nakamori has never caught Kaito Kid and is often ridiculed, his performance as a police officer is not bad, and can even be said to be very outstanding. Naturally, he also carries the murderous aura that is common among police officers.
