Phantom Thief of Heart in Conan

Something too horrifying happened. The mysterious Phantom Thief appeared silently and stole Chikako Ikeda's heart in full view of the public as written in the notice letter. After the desire to run away was eradicated, she regained her heart.

Chikako Ikeda, who had a sense of morality, burst into tears and felt sincerely ashamed of what she had done. This promising young script writer knelt down and confessed, and planned to tell the media personally about his crimes after returning home.

As for the others who were also frightened and speechless by the contrast between her before and after, Chikako Ikeda seemed unrepentant not long ago, but after just a few dozen minutes, she suddenly truly repented?

For a moment, everyone took a few steps back in unison, their eyes wandering around the villa, full of fear of the Phantom Thief who might be lurking in the villa.

Even Conan was gripped by fear. In all his long time as a detective, he had never seen such a strange incident. How did Phantom Thief make her truly repent? Hypnosis? Brainwashing? Mind control?

But before and after Ikezawa Yuko repented, nothing unusual happened, and no one came into contact with her. Is it possible that the Phantom Thief can rewrite other people's minds with just a look or a warning letter? This is too much.

Ridiculous!

Conan racked his brains and couldn't come up with any reasonable guesses. The hypnosis and brainwashing he knew were far from as magical as what he saw today. The Phantom Thief's modus operandi was as unpredictable as himself, and he really lived up to his name.

Generally, it is just a "phantom" of nothingness.

So am I "catching on the wind and shadows"? Conan's face looked bitter, as if he could hear the mocking voice of the Phantom Thief coming from the void species.

Finally, he had a chance to face the Phantom Thief, but this famous detective could not solve any of the mysteries.

A moment later, the nearby police arrived belatedly and took everyone involved in the incident back to the police station. The party, shrouded in the "phantom", ended with the sound of sirens and the cry of Chikako Ikeda.

closed the curtain.

And the mysterious Phantom Thief who had caused such a commotion had just withdrawn from the cognitive world and was recuperating near the cinema.

From the beginning to the end, Kurusu Akatsuki never left Mikka Town, and he didn't even know where the villa where Sonoko was meeting was. And the notice letter was quietly put into the snack box before Sonoko set off.

It is basically impossible to catch the Phantom Thief by relying on general search methods for investigating crime scenes. Because in most cases, Kurusu Akatsuki will not appear at the crime scene at all, and the clues he left in the real world are

It was just a warning letter, and he was always flawless in terms of warning letters.

How can detectives and police who have no idea of ​​the existence of the cognitive world catch the Phantom Thief wandering in another world? What they are doing now is, in the final analysis, just catching the ghost.

After resting for a few minutes, Akatsuki Kurusu blended in with the moviegoers who had just finished watching the night show and disappeared silently into the night.

…………

The next day was Sunday, and Kurusu Akatsuki still didn't have much time to rest after finishing his work on the Phantom Thieves. This morning he had to help Dr. Agasa test a new invention, and in the afternoon, he had to work part-time in a cafe. But he was so energetic that he couldn't

I don't feel tired, but I still enjoy such a busy life.

Kurusu Akatsuki followed Dr. Agasa and handed various tools into his hands according to his instructions. Dr. Agasa was debugging the turbine engine on the skateboard. According to Kurusu Akatsuki's experience with this invention these days,

There is still considerable room for improvement. Although Akatsuki Kurusu is now able to operate this skateboard quite skillfully, Conan, as a child, cannot. His physical ability cannot control this skateboard like an untamed wild horse.

"Axiao, I heard Conan say that you two have been honest with each other?" In his spare time at work, Dr. Agasa did not forget to care about the relationship between Conan and Kurusu Akatsuki. "In this case, in front of you in the future, I

Just call him Shinichi!"

"Well, you don't have to worry about this in front of me in the future." Kurusu Akatsuki nodded, "Of course, if there are outsiders around, we still have to cooperate with that kid in acting!"

"I understand. Oh, this way, I don't have to act in front of you." Dr. Ali smiled cheerfully, "To be honest, I'm really not very good at this."

"You two should get along well. Although Shinichi can be a little bitchy sometimes, he is actually a good person with a strong sense of justice. To be honest, I was really worried about him after he became smaller. Now you know

I don’t know why, but I feel relieved about his identity.”

As he spoke, Dr. Agasa handed a small badge to Akatsuki Kurusu's hand.

"This is a communication device I took the time to make. There is an ultra-small radio device installed under the casing, which can serve as a walkie-talkie within a certain range. I made three in total, one for you, me, and Shinichi. They can be used when there is danger.

Use this to contact the other party."

"But this is still a beta version at the moment, and the communication range is limited. I will try to develop a formal version with a wider range later, so you can just make do with it for now!"

Kurusu Akatsuki took the badge from Dr. Agasa and had some doubts in her heart. Although the shell was different, this badge was obviously the prototype of the detective badge that Dr. Agasa would later equip the Young Detective Team. According to Kurusu Akatsuki's memory, the detective badge contained

But it is equipped with a transmitter.

Although Dr. Agasa hasn't even developed prisoner tracking glasses yet, and this badge is only a test version, which most likely does not contain a positioning device, Akatsuki Kurusu, who secretly operates as the Phantom Thief, is still wary.

"Thank you, Doctor." Akatsuki Kurusu finally accepted the Doctor's kindness, but he was cautious, lest he reveal the identity of the Phantom Thief due to a small oversight.

After debugging the skateboard, Dr. Agasa immersed himself in making another invention. This invention was also prepared for Conan. He brought a batch of rubber-like straps and asked Akatsuki Kurusu to help test the stretchability of this material.

.

"This material is one of my inventions. As you can see, it has very strong stretchability!" Dr. Agasa explained breathlessly to Kurusu Akatsuki. He and Kurusu Akatsuki each pulled one end of the strap and pushed it hard towards him.

Pulling both sides, "I plan to use this to make a prop for Conan! By the way, Xiao, do you have any props you need? I can also make them for you!"

"No need, doctor! Rather than these magical props, I actually want to learn some simple production techniques from you!" Akatsuki Kurusu stared at the freely retractable materials in his hands, with a cunning gleam in his eyes.
