Phantom Thief of Heart in Conan

Conan fell for Kurusu Akatsuki's hook so easily. Being distracted by Xiaolan's affairs, he had no interest in digging into Kurusu Akatsuki's secrets for the time being. He just immersed himself in searching for men related to Xiaolan in his mind.

Use your own reasoning skills to find the truth of the matter.

Let me think about it, when Akatsuki Kurusi first arrived, Xiaolan ran to him to inquire about a man, so this man should be related to both Xiaoran and Akatsuki Kurusu.

A man who is familiar with Xiaolan... No, since Xiaolan wants to specifically inquire about information from Raisu Akatsuki, it means that Xiaolan is not familiar with that man. In this case, she has to investigate through Raisu Akatsuki's network.

Maybe it’s a classmate in the class? No, no, no, if it’s a boy in the class, Xiaolan is more likely to go to Sonoko for information instead of going to the transfer student Kurusu Akatsuki. Damn it, I still know too much about Kurusu Akatsuki

few!

Could it be that Akatsuki Kurusu is an acquaintance outside of school? But as a protection observer who has just transferred here and has a criminal record, does he have any acquaintances in Tokyo? At least I didn't get any relevant information from Dr. Agasa.

Wait, Dr. Agasa? Doesn’t Dr. Agasa know both Kurusu Akira and Xiaolan? But the possibility that this mysterious man is Dr. Agasa is too small. But Dr. Agasa is the only person in their network

Intersection, so Dr. A Li should also know that man... Well, the boy Xiaolan wants to inquire about, could it be me?

No, I should be right, there is no other candidate at the moment. Xiaolan went to find Akatsuki Kurusu because he is currently living in Dr. Agasa's house, right next door to me, Kudo Shinichi.

After a brief thought, Conan quickly figured out the whole story, but as a famous detective, he knew that no matter how reasonable the reasoning was, it needed evidence to test. Before he found the evidence, he was still worried.

She had doubts and was not completely sure that the person Xiaolan wanted to inquire about was herself.

A few minutes later, Akatsuki Kurusu took Conan to the downstairs of the Maori Detective Agency, and happened to meet Maori Ran who had just come downstairs.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Kurusu-kun, but I need your help to send Conan back so late." Mao Lilan took Conan's hand and thanked Kurusu, "I just received a call from Dr. Agasa, so I hurried downstairs.

Coming to pick you up."

"It doesn't matter, this child is a relative of Dr. Ali! Dr. Ali took me in when I had nowhere to go, so it's only right for me to do him a little favor!"

"Besides," Kurusu Akatsuki put her palm on Conan's head and rubbed it hard, "this kid is quite cute!"

This was not a perfunctory remark by Kurusu Akatsuki. He really thought it was funny when Conan was teased... Oh no, it was quite cute.

"By the way, Kurusu-san." Xiaolan's smile was not as bright as before, but seemed a little forced, "Did Shinichi go home today?"

"No, it's still dark in Kudo's house today. Mori-san, I think if Kudo-san comes back, I will give you priority!"

"...I hope so. Kurusu-san, thank you for being willing to do me this favor."

Sure enough, Xiaolan wanted me to be the man who inquired about Akira Raisu. Conan, who was secretly listening on the sidelines, smiled knowingly and was happy that his reasoning was confirmed. But when he looked up, he saw Xiaolan's lonely face again.

.

In the blink of an eye, the excitement of having the correct reasoning dissipated, and Conan's heart was overwhelmed by the sorrow on Xiaolan's face, twitching painfully.

After bidding farewell to Kurusu Akatsuki, Conan was led by Xiaolan and returned to the office upstairs. Looking at the lonely back of his childhood sweetheart, he secretly swore in his heart that he must bring the black organization to justice as soon as possible and return to his original form.

Look!

After swearing the oath, Conan's overly active thinking still did not stop, but once again shifted to Akatsuki Kurusu.

Kurusu Akatsuki...Why do I always feel like there is some ulterior secret in this protection observer? Is it because he has a criminal record, so I subconsciously wear colored glasses?

Maybe it’s just my personal bias. As of now, there’s really nothing questionable about Kurusu Akatsuki. It’s a bit strange that he came home late for two consecutive days, but as a former delinquent, Kurusu Akatsuki may not have changed.

It is also possible that he has the habit of coming home late, and he is indeed looking for a part-time job.

Thinking about it carefully, the three times I met Akatsuki Kurusu, his attitude was normal and nothing suspicious... Speaking of which, when I first met him, he acted too normal from time to time?

At that time, I had just shrunk, and I ran into the doctor's house while still wearing Kudo Shinichi's clothes. There was still blood on my forehead, but Akatsuki Kurusu didn't doubt me much, and even immediately believed the doctor's clumsy lie.

I was just a kid with a forehead injury and wearing adult clothes. Was he such a nervous person?

Could it be that what I said to the doctor that night was heard by him upstairs!? If this is the case, then Akatsuki Kurusu may have known my identity for a long time, but he has been acting and does not want to reveal it.

The lies and identities that Dr. Agas and I concocted.

In this case, maybe tonight he suddenly told me about Xiaolan just to distract me? Think about it carefully, isn't it strange to suddenly talk about this kind of thing to a child? Maybe Lai Qixiao just wanted to

Use Xiaolan's story to divert my attention away from him so that I don't show off!

However, if Kurusu Akatsuki really knows that I am Kudo Shinichi, why didn't he expose me? He has no friendship with Kudo Shinichi, and there is no reason to help me keep my secret. The only connection between Kurusu Akatsuki and me is

Dr. Ali, did he choose to help me keep the secret for Dr. Ali?

I remember Akatsuki Kurusu just said that Dr. Agasa took him in when he had nowhere to go. This was probably not a lie. He was a poor man with a criminal record and was kicked out by his parents. He felt deeply for Dr. Agasa who kindly took him in.

It's reasonable to be grateful. Perhaps it's because of Dr. Ali that he is willing to cooperate with me to continue the drama of "Conan".

But in the final analysis, these are just my inferences, and they are still inferences that lack strong basis. Does Akatsuki Kurusu know that I am Kudo Shinichi? At present, it seems that it is possible, but there is a lack of evidence...

The active-thinking detective gradually cleared away the fog and moved closer to the truth step by step. But the truth he was approaching was only the truth about "Kusu Akatsuki". As for the cunning phantom thief hiding under the mask, the detective was still

Couldn't detect his presence.
