Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

Provoking the opponent to reveal his flaws during the lawsuit is one of Kensuke Kumemon's best moves, but it's a pity that the opponent's shadow seems to have forgotten one thing at this time.

He was able to do this purely due to circumstance.

There were bailiffs protecting him in the courtroom, but not now.

"What can I give you? Is this enough?"

Although it was just a brief exchange, Lan Ke had already realized that compared to the previous targets who expressed their negative emotions out loud, this target seemed to be easier to talk to at first glance, but in fact had a worse personality.

As the saying goes, "You learn literature so that you can communicate well with assholes, and you learn martial arts so that assholes can communicate well with you."

The M500 in Lan Ke's hand is undoubtedly very persuasive.

Almost at the moment Lan Ke pulled out his gun, the other party's face changed drastically, but after just a moment, a smile appeared on his face again.

But I don’t know if this smile is Lan Ke’s illusion, it always feels a little... flattering?

"Of course! This is definitely convincing enough!"

Looking at Kensuke Kumemon at this time, even Lan Ke, the person involved, was a little surprised.

In fact, he was already prepared to overturn the table when he pulled out the gun.

Indeed, his 'change of heart' might alert the enemy, but if we can get more intelligence, then we can wipe out all the targets tonight. Once the matter is resolved, nothing else will matter.

But the other party showed Lan Ke what a "flexible body" meant.

As if seeing Lan Ke's confusion, the other party sneered disdainfully.

"Is it strange? Actually, I don't like those two guys either."

"Didn't you claim that you'd take any case as long as you were paid?"

Facing Lan Ke's flower, which was not sure whether to be teasing or mocking, the other party seemed very calm, as if he didn't understand, and nodded directly.

"That's right! As long as the money is high enough! I'll take any case! But there are two types of cases I won't take."

As he spoke, he raised two fingers

"First, I won't take a case that I'm sure to lose."

"Second, I won't take cases involving certain bigwigs."

A losing case?

Lan Ke frowned slightly.

According to the news reports, the other party clearly has the upper hand in this case, which means——————

"What big shot is involved in this case?"

"I'm not sure, but it's probably true. After all, to be able to get a judge to cooperate with me, whoever is behind it must be of high status."

Having said that, the other party sighed helplessly.

"Although I don't know who that unlucky kid offended, he's definitely not an ordinary person."

"I'm just playing with it within the scope of the law, but this kid has probably offended the bigwigs who make the laws..."

Although Kensuke Kumemon did not provide any direct clues, he also set the next target for Lan Ke.

The judge in charge of Emiya Shirou's case is 'Sakutsuki Shigeru and his wife'... or to be more precise, the person behind them!

Chapter 39: The number of Phantom Thieves of Hearts is beyond our imagination! We must strike hard!

Koumei Kensuke Lan Ke did not touch the other party for the time being.

It's not that I accepted the other party's statement that "all my actions are within the scope permitted by the law" and "anything is allowed unless prohibited by law."

After all, even though his goal is different from Porter's, he has never intended to let the law restrict his actions. After all, the law defines the "bottom line" rather than "right or wrong."

Just because the law has not been broken does not mean that the other party is in the right, not to mention that there are still people who can game the law in various ways.

Perhaps his motivations were different, but what he did was no different from what the original 'Phantom Thieves' did—dealing with those who had escaped legal punishment.

Lan Ke simply decided to postpone it temporarily in order to avoid alerting the enemy.

First lock on the target, and after things are done, we can 'speed pass' together!

Just as Lan Ke was about to look for the judge's information, the atmosphere in the Emiya residence on the other side became noticeably subtle.

"The saury for dinner tonight seems even more delicious than usual~ Shirou, your cooking skills are really getting better and better. Whoever marries you in the future will make a fortune~"

"Sister Fujimura..."

Faced with the funny Fujimura Taiga, Emiya Shirou showed a helpless expression.

Of course, he also knew that the other party was trying to liven up the atmosphere, so he simply continued speaking along with what the other party was saying.

It’s a pity that although Fujimura Taiga tried hard to liven up the atmosphere, the dinner was still a bit dull.

Emiya Miyu, who kept her head down almost the entire time, made Fujimura Taiga's antics a little awkward. As for Illya, the group's favorite, she was also affected by the atmosphere and became a little silent.

After dinner, Fujimura Taiga gave Emiya Shirou a look and then took Illya and Miyu back to the room.

Obviously, although Illya, Miyu and Emiya Shirou have a better relationship, in this situation it might be more appropriate for Fujimura Taiga to appease them.

"Whoo~"

As the three of them left the living room, Emiya Shirou, who had been smiling the whole time, couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

It is obvious that both Fujimura Taiga's antics and Emiya Shirou's calmness are pretended.

While the ethics of some tabloids may be questionable, at least one thing they haven't written is that things are not going well today.

First of all, there was the lawyer who was short but looked very confident. He looked arrogant outside, but he seemed like a different person as soon as he entered the courtroom. Not only did he look like he was concerned about him, but he also kept attacking him in the direction of "age" and "blood relationship".

Fortunately, Kisaki Eri had considered this possibility in advance and taught him some words, otherwise he might have lost the case today.

But even so, the situation was still not optimistic. Even Emiya Shirou could see that the judge's attitude was clearly inclined towards the Sakutsuki Shigeru couple.

The only thing to be thankful for is Miyu's attitude.

Because Miyu clearly expressed that she was unwilling to leave him, the judge did not make a ruling in the end. He just said "let's discuss it later" and adjourned the court.

But the situation remains bleak.

Even the originally confident Kisaki Eri said, "That man is very difficult to deal with, but I will do my best to deal with him." Although the other party did not admit defeat, it was obvious that she was no longer as confident as yesterday.

'What should I do next?'

Emiya Shirou was lost in confusion.

He has been working hard instead of using the money left by his adoptive father because he hopes to raise his two younger sisters through his own efforts.

Unexpectedly, when he tried to use the money, he found that the money seemed to be of no use at all.

This made Shirou Emiya unconsciously begin to doubt himself.

Are all my previous efforts meaningless?

Just as he was daydreaming, the cell phone on the table suddenly started vibrating.

Shirou Emiya almost instinctively jumped up and grabbed the phone, but when he saw the name on the caller ID, he seemed to deflate.

"Amuro-senpai?"

Shirou Emiya's voice was full of confusion, as if he didn't quite understand why Toru Amuro would call him.

814 The Thirty-year-old Kirin

Although the relationship between the two parties is pretty good because they often work together, and they even occasionally swap shifts, because the other party is busy with work, they actually rarely contact each other except at the workplace.

That's why he wondered why the other party called him.

"I heard from the store manager that you don't plan to come to work in the near future?"

Toru Amuro, who was looking through the information on the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts' in the office, also looked a little tired.

But unlike Emiya Shirou who was troubled by the case, Amuro Toru was simply troubled by the huge amount of information about the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts' that was difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Theoretically, Rei Furuya shouldn't get involved in the affairs of the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts'. After all, cases related to the 'Phantom Thieves' have always been handled by the 'Investigation Section 2'. But this time, the 'Black Organization' got involved, and he had to get involved.

But then he realized something was wrong.

First, he contacted Asuka Daiki, who was in charge of the case, but after learning that he was a public security officer, he explicitly rejected his request to see the files and told him to contact his superior if he really wanted to see them.

At this time, Toru Amuro realized that something was wrong. After all, generally speaking, the police would not refuse the public security's request, or even if they refused, their attitude would not be so tough.

The only explanation is that the other party received instructions from the higher-ups.

As expected, when Toru Amuro asked his superiors to negotiate with the Metropolitan Police Department, he was also rejected.

But if the open approach doesn't work, then we'll have to do it covertly. After all, the work of public security is not just for external purposes.

But even so, he didn't know the details. He only knew that the director of the White Horse Warning directly ordered the sealing of some of the evidence of the "Ze Yuezhi Incident". Only a few responsible persons knew the specific situation, and none of these people were able to obtain intelligence without alerting the enemy.

Toru Amuro has been very busy recently, suspecting that there might be information related to the "Black Organization".

But even so, he did not give up his "job", after all, he still needed to collect intelligence in this way.

But after working for two days, she suddenly discovered that Shirou Emiya, who was supposed to be there, was missing?

Although he couldn't get too close to Shirou Emiya due to his work, once he was exposed, people close to him might... no, would definitely become targets to prevent the cleanup.

So in order not to drag Emiya Shirou into trouble, he couldn't get too close to him.

But he is very optimistic about Shirou Emiya.

It's not just because of the other party's excellent abilities, but also because of the other party's sense of justice.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that he will never become a 'Public Security', but if he is willing, he should be able to become an excellent police officer.

It was his optimism about Shirou Emiya that made him take time out of his busy schedule to give him a call.

Shirou Emiya, who had no idea of ​​the twists and turns in this matter, was a little surprised by Toru Amuro's concern for him, but he still forced himself to explain.

"Sorry, Senior, I have some family matters, so I may not be able to go to work for a while."

"Is there something going on at home? Then you must take care of yourself. It's not too late to work after you've dealt with your family affairs."

"Thank you for your concern, senior."

"It's okay, I'm just a little curious. I'll continue working. Shirou, you should rest well too."

"Ok."

Almost at the same time that Emiya Shirou hung up the phone, the smile on Amuro Toru's face disappeared, replaced by a serious expression.

"Kazami, help me retrieve Emiya Shirou's file."

Compared to Toru Amuro, who remained relatively energetic after working intensively for several days, his subordinate Yuya Kazami had already started to doze off at this time, but after hearing the order from his boss, he immediately started to retrieve the information.

Obviously, because they often worked together, in order to ensure Toru Amuro's safety, the public security had actually investigated Shirou Emiya once. Later, because of the "Phantom Thieves of Hearts", they investigated it again. After ruling out the possibility that he was a member of the "Phantom Thieves of Hearts", they basically ignored the file.

Although Kazami Yu didn't know why Amuro Toru suddenly mentioned Emiya Shirou, he still obediently retrieved the relevant files.

Just looking at the NEW mark on the file, Toru Amuro frowned unconsciously.

Obviously, he didn't expect that in just a few days, Shirou Emiya's information would be updated again. You know, the internal files of the police are not the diaries of private detectives, everything will be recorded in them.

Without wasting any more time, he read it through at a very fast speed, and then couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows.

The good news is that the trouble Emiya Shirou encountered has nothing to do with the "organization". The bad news is that the trouble the other party encountered is not small either.

His biggest impression of Shirou Emiya, apart from his work ability and work attitude, was probably his concern for his sister.

If it were any other time, he might have taken the time to help out, but right now, because of the 'Phantom Thief of Hearts', he really didn't have the time.

After signaling his subordinates to continue paying attention to this matter, he turned his attention back to the 'preview letter' in his hand.

It was obvious that the other party could distinguish between the important and the urgent, and the matter of the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts' was obviously more important at the moment.

Maybe he couldn't get the detailed information about the case, but because Lan Ke sent a large number of warning letters to more than one target, some of which were not even taken back by the police, Amuro Toru was still able to get some.

"The notices are handmade, and the sheer number of them suggests the Phantom Thieves of Hearts are even larger than imagined... After all, some of them were exposed around the same time. Without enough manpower, it's impossible to produce so many notices."

Obviously, even Toru Amuro could not imagine that there is really someone in this world who can "borrow a cat's hand" to do work. Even the majority of the producers of these preview letters do not even have human figures, so it is completely wishful thinking to want to find clues from them.

This also brought unexpected troubles to the police in their pursuit of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.

As for the leader of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, who had a large following, he sneezed as he looked at the man kneeling in front of him.
