Phantom Thief of Heart in Conan

Tsugawa Hideharu, this kind-hearted old man has served as the director of the Rice Flower Library all year round. Although some people think that he looks scary, most residents of Rice Flower Town still think that the director is a good person.

Who would have thought that such a respected old curator would be engaged in drug trafficking business behind the scenes?

And today, Akatsuki Kurusu planned to be the one to reveal his mask.

After wandering around the library for a few times, Kurusu Akatsuki completely identified the cracks and escape passages available in the library. As a result, even if some emergencies occurred in the cognitive world, he could escape in time.

out.

After making general preparations, Kurusu Akatsuki left the library and found a quiet place nearby. He took out a note pad from his pocket and wrote Director Tsukawa's name on it.

He was well prepared and consciously closed his eyes without waiting for the dizziness to hit him.

After the dizziness disappeared, Kurusu Akatsuki opened his eyes. At this time, he had successfully teleported and was in the cognitive world. He turned over the map in his hand. As he expected, the target location was in Mihua Book.

In the museum.

In the first two operations, the location of the shadow Yuko Ikezawa is in front of Okino Yoko's house, and the location of the shadow Fujie Akiyoshi is a high school. The place where their shadows appear is not synchronized with their real selves, but

It has to do with the origin of your own desires.

If we follow this line of thinking, Director Jinchuan, who hid the drugs in the library, will most likely have his shadow appear in the library that recognizes the world.

Akatsuki Kurusu, who put on his Kaitou suit, stretched his muscles a little, and then entered the library with great swagger.

The decoration inside the museum is roughly the same as in the real world, but there is not a single person in sight in the huge space. All you can see is rows of bookshelves standing silently. Akatsuki Kurusu took down a book from the bookshelf and flipped through it roughly.

After reading a few pages, he was somewhat surprised to find that the text above was no different from the real world and could be read completely.

Akatsuki Kurusu put this book in his arms. He planned to do a simple experiment to see if he could bring items from the cognitive world back to the real world.

He continued to follow the map and walked into the library. Not too far away, he saw the shadow of Director Jinchuan. The shadowed Director Jinchuan was sitting in the center of the library, his lower body submerged in a sea of ​​stacked books, and

The slightly scary monkey face was covered by a mask and was not exposed to Kurusu Akatsuki.

"It seems that Director Tsukawa, like Fujie Akiyoshi before him, is a target that needs to be solved by sending a warning letter."

Akatsuki Kurusu didn't hide himself, and just approached directly. As he expected, Director Shadow Tsukawa was unaware of his uninvited guest, and still immersed himself in reading the books in his hands.

Kurusu stretched his neck from behind him, wanting to see what book Director Shadow Tsukawa was reading. However, after a while, he discovered that what Director Shadow Tsukawa was holding was not the above book at all, but a densely packed book containing various records.

A ledger of money transactions.

He frowned slightly, stepped back a few steps, and then reached out and pulled out a book from the pile of books that engulfed the shadow of Director Jinchuan. He opened it and found that there was actually a small book with the cover covered.

There are quite a few thousand yuan in banknotes, and apart from the amount of money mixed with them, the contents of the book are really shocking - they are all records related to drugs.

Kurusu Akatsuki checked the other books around and found that the contents of these books were similar, and they also contained a large amount of banknotes.

"Sure enough, just like in the original work, Director Jinchuan secretly hid the drugs in a batch of books that no one borrowed. Perhaps because Director Jinchuan's desires have not yet been exposed, this sinful transaction is reflected in the cognitive world

Among them, it is wrapped in such a coat.

"Put down my books." While Akatsuki Kurusu was still checking these books, the shadowy curator Tsukawa, who had been silent all this time, suddenly cast his gaze, "That's my treasure."

Akatsuki Kurusu was startled at first. He obediently put down the book in his hand and was ready to summon the Persona.

But Curator Shadow Tsukawa obviously only cared about his own money. After seeing Akatsuki Kurusu put down the book, he continued to immerse himself in reading and returned to his previous silent look.

Upon seeing this, Akatsuki Kurusu had a new idea in his mind. He once again pulled out a book in front of Director Shadow Tsukawa, and sure enough, the latter's eyes turned sideways again.

Before he could speak first, Akatsuki Kurusu took the lead and bombarded him with questions:

"Where did the banknotes in these books come from?"

"Of course I earned it from those drug addicts. Those idiots are no different from monkeys in front of me." Director Shadow Jinchuan answered truthfully. No matter how hypocritical he is in reality, he will not lie in the cognitive world.

talk.

"So, you are secretly selling drugs?"

"I've been doing this for many years, and I haven't been discovered yet! This makes more money than being a bad curator!"

After confirming Director Tsukawa's crime, Akatsuki Kurusu asked no more questions. He put the book back next to Shadow Director Tsukawa, and left the cognitive world without looking back, returning to the bright sky again.

Kurusu Akatsuki lowered his head and looked at the brand new book in his hand. This was the book from the cognitive world that he had put in his arms before. He opened a few pages slightly, and the words printed on the leaves were still clearly visible.

It seems that items that understand the world can be brought to the real world... No, it is too early to draw a conclusion now. If we observe for a while, maybe what changes will happen to this book.

After confirming the target, the next thing to do is to send out a warning letter. But there is no need to rush this matter yet, Kurusu Akira plans to start taking action tomorrow.

As for now, he has just chosen a part-time job in a coffee shop, and it's not too late to rush over for an interview.

…………

The results of today's interview were pretty good, and Akatsuki Kurusu successfully got the part-time job. Although the salary was average, the advantage was the freedom of working hours, which was pretty good for him.

"Ahem, Akatsuki, you're back!" As soon as the door opened, Akatsuki Kurusi was warmly greeted by Dr. Ari. However, Dr. Ari who appeared in front of Akatsuki Kurusi looked disgraced, as if he had fallen hard.

Embarrassed.

"Doctor, what's wrong with you? How did you end up like this?!" Akatsuki Kurusi quickly stepped forward to help the doctor dust off his body. "Is it possible that you are doing some dangerous experiments again?"

"No, it wasn't an explosion this time! I was just testing my new invention and accidentally fell down."

"New invention?"

"Okay, come with me to the backyard..."
