Conan: The Heart Thief

"I, I can't help it!" Conan blushed, "Because Japan being able to participate in the World Cup has been my dream since I was a child!"

A few children just blinked their eyes and complained about Conan crazily.

"What are you talking about, Conan? What do you mean by starting from childhood?"

"Conan is still a child now!"

“When did you start watching football?”

"No, what I mean is..." Conan was dumbfounded. Being with these kids, he became more and more relaxed, and also said more and more "weird" words.

"Pfft... Conan, you're so cute." Kudo Yukiko couldn't help but giggle, and Lin Xiao also shook his head. This Conan really didn't pay attention to his identity as a kid at all.

Conan had black lines on his forehead. It was okay for others, but even his own mother was so disrespectful to him and laughed at him.

Haibara Ai, who had been watching the game silently, also spoke.

"I never expected that the famous detective would be just an ordinary brat when it comes to football!"

"I'm not a brat!"

Conan strongly opposed Haibara Ai and soon discovered that something was wrong with her.

Detective? Wait, does Xiao Ai know my real identity? My mom told her, that's impossible, why would my mom tell Xiao Ai about me?

Chapter 64 No Life to Bit the Lighter

Conan was very suspicious of Haibara Ai, but he couldn't ask her directly. He thought he could ask his mother later and find out what was going on.

Thinking of this, Conan turned his attention back to the game.

On the football field, both sides refused to give in and the competition was extremely fierce.

All the spectators were cheering for the teams they supported and the players they liked.

Outside the football field, the TV station broadcasting the game was also busy, but soon problems arose.

"...Okay, now let's switch from Unit 2 to Unit 3. Unit 1, make sure you don't miss the shot! Unit 4, where are you shooting..."

"Excuse me! Mr. Kaneko!"

Mr. Kaneko, the director in charge of directing the broadcast, was interrupted and looked at the people around him impatiently.

"Please answer this call first!" an employee holding a mobile phone said hurriedly in a low voice.

"Phone call? For me?" Mr. Kaneko asked puzzledly.

"Yes," the employee nodded quickly, "The person on the phone just told me several times that if you don't answer the phone, you will regret it!"

Hearing this, Mr. Jinzi frowned and said unhappily, "Okay then!" At that moment, Mr. Jinzi directly picked up the phone and said, "Hello? I'm the director Jinzi. Hello? Who are you?"

"I'll only say this once, listen carefully!" The other party's voice sounded very strange.

"Huh?" Mr. Jinzi was stunned.

Then he heard the other party say in a strange tone: "In the audience seats on the right side of the front stand, look at the few little ghosts leaning on the handrails in the front row!"

"What?" Although Mr. Kaneko didn't understand what the other party wanted to say, it didn't mean that he couldn't go and watch. He turned to the staff next to him and said, "Immediately notify the photographer at camera No. 13 and tell him to aim at the audience seats on the right!"

"Uh... yes!" The staff nodded and said quickly: "Unit 13..."

Director Mr. Kaneko held the phone and said, "I saw it. There are five children in total! ... The child on the left wearing a blue hat? ... Oh, I saw it! What happened to that child?"

Mr. Kaneko was very puzzled.

"Ah? Hat!" Haibara Ai screamed. Then she saw the hat fell directly to the bottom!

Suddenly, with a slight sound, the football next to the hat suddenly bounced up!

"Huh?" Conan and Haibara Ai were both stunned.

Then, I saw the football bounce away and fall directly to the ground.

"Shooting?!"

Conan and Haibara Ai looked at each other and realized the seriousness of the situation.

Conan was about to take action, but Lin Xiao coldly reminded the two of their impish "child".

"Don't act rashly!"

After saying that, Lin Xiao left his seat, crossed the guardrail and jumped down.

"Hey, Lin Xiao!"

Yukiko Kudo wanted to grab Lin Xiao and ask him what happened, but she missed it.

There were guards next to the football field. When they saw someone jumping down, they immediately stepped forward to stop it.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"I'm a high school detective."

"detective."

Upon hearing that the other party was a detective, the guard ignored Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao bent down and picked up the shrunken football, flipping through it and saying, "It was indeed a shooting just now."

He looked across at the audience, where a certain shooter was hiding. He suddenly remembered the plot.

Even if he knew the plot in advance, he would still face the same situation in this case. The shooter had hidden his identity, and it was not easy to find him.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Lin Xiao pretended to pick up Huiyuan Ai's baseball cap. By the way, he took out a bullet the size of a little finger from a hole dug in the ground.

Lin Xiao returned to his seat, put the baseball cap on Haibara Ai, and then gave Conan a look.

Lin Xiao and Conan came to the aisle outside the audience seats. The combination of a teenager and a child would not attract shooters.

"Lin Xiao, what did you find?"

"Conan, you have to call me brother, okay?"

"Brother Lin Xiao..."

“Here’s what I found.”

Conan was startled when he saw the bullet in Lin Xiao's hand.

"This is a 7.62mm bullet! It's a Russian pistol! If I'm right, it must be a Tokarev pistol."

"Conan, you actually recognized him."

Lin Xiao was quite surprised. Conan really paid attention to details and was extremely professional.

"of course."

Conan's face was filled with pride.

Shortly after……

Inspector Megure, who received the alarm, has arrived at the National Stadium with his men.

In the broadcast room, director Mr. Kaneko said to Officer Megure anxiously: "Officer, someone must have fired a gun in the stadium just now, Mr. Policeman!"

Inspector Megure asked, "So, where is the person who was shot?"

"No, the person who was hit was not a person, but a football!" said Mr. Kaneko.

"A football?" Inspector Megure was stunned.

Mr. Kaneko recalled: "I followed what the man on the phone said and found a kid wearing a blue hat in the front row of the audience and saw the football below him! Just then, the ball bounced and deflated! I thought the football must have been shot by a pistol!"

Inspector Megure's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this: "But what? Just based on this, it's possible that someone used an air bullet gun to make a prank!"

But unexpectedly, a familiar voice sounded.

"I think that should be a Tokarev pistol! Inspector Megure!"

Inspector Megure was stunned, turned around and said in surprise: "Brother Lin? There is also Conan!"

Lin Xiao gave the bullet he found on the court to Inspector Megure.

"Is this the bullet?" Inspector Megure was startled. He quickly took the bullet and looked at it carefully. "It's a 7.62mm bullet, and it's made in Russia!"

Conan curled his lips. Lin Xiao clearly repeated his words to Inspector Megure. He had completely become a tool.

Inspector Megure stroked his chin and pondered for a while, then quickly said to his men beside him: "No matter what, the game must be stopped! Stop the game immediately! Evacuate the spectators and players!"

"Yes." The police officers responded immediately.

Mr. Kaneko interrupted the police's actions: "No! No way!"

"Huh?" Inspector Megure looked confused.

Mr. Jinzi said with sweat on his forehead: "The gangster on the phone said that if he saw the game stopped and the audience evacuated, he would shoot randomly in the stadium!"

"What?" Inspector Megure was startled, his face looked particularly ugly, "So, what did the criminals demand?"

Mr. Kaneko said, "Before the halftime break, prepare 50 million! Put it in a bag. He will contact us again when he finds the money!"

"So, this is a threat against you?" Inspector Megure frowned.

"Yes, it's targeting our Nichimei TV station!" said Mr. Kaneko.

"So that's what it is. The criminals came for money."

Inspector Megure had a plan in mind: "So, are you ready for 50 million yen?"

"Yes," Mr. Kaneko nodded and said, "The company has sent the money now!"

"Very good!" Inspector Megure immediately ordered his men: "Mobilize all plainclothes police officers! Disperse to the audience immediately! We can only wait for the criminals to call before taking action! At that time, anyone who uses a phone in the stadium will be arrested!"

"Yes!" the police answered and turned to take action.

"Wait a minute, Officer Megure, we can't confirm whether the criminals are a group."

Lin Xiao reminded Inspector Megure that if the criminals were a group, the police's actions would only force the criminals into desperate measures.

"Ah? Brother Lin, thank goodness you reminded me." Inspector Megure is as stupid as ever.

Inspector Megure quickly took out his intercom and ordered, "Everyone, do not act rashly before I give the order!"

Conan beside him said nothing, lost in thought, his mind already occupied by this case. You know, there are very few clues now, and looking for a specific person in this National Stadium with 56,000 people is like looking for a needle in a haystack!

At this time, the cell phone in Mr. Kaneko's hand rang.
