The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"You guys have been making a lot of noise recently." Conan cleared his throat and started talking stiffly, "Probably, it wasn't because of my phone call that day, right?"

"Huh? What?" Noah, who didn't understand what he meant, was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at the expression on his face blankly, "What was the phone call that day?"

"It's the case of Mr. Yonehara and Minako Mochizuki." Thinking that the euphemistic formulation was ineffective, Conan sighed heavily, "Although Joker said that he would pay attention to my affairs, it was all because he was paying attention to Karasawa. His safety is in danger, but this matter has nothing to do with Tang Ze, right?"

Of course, because he went skiing with Karasawa and encountered a case together, Karasawa, who has always insisted on his own concept of good and evil, stubbornly shielded Teacher Yonehara for a short time out of his insistence on right and wrong, allowing her to finally complete her own The promise to Minako killed the second deceased.

Upon further investigation, he must have been involved in the case, but the fact that he remained silent in order to help Mihara Koko has completed the entire process related to the case.

So after thinking about it, he came to the conclusion that the high-profile and high-profile actions of the Phantom Thieves after the case was reported were inseparably related to the phone call he made while confused.

Noah was at a loss for words and didn’t know where to start: “…”

How should he tell him that everyone in the Phantom Thieves actually watched the whole process of the case, and even helped the leader to cover up for Koko Yonehara?

Involving in the case may be more a result of the leader's own feelings than the detective's face, and everyone is willing to help.

How should I put it? Look at the current composition of the Phantom Thieves. You can taste it carefully.

In an alliance of fathers like them, Yonehara Koko's behavior will not only not be condemned, but will be highly praised by everyone.

Her experience not only inspired strong empathy between Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, greatly increasing their enthusiasm, but also made the members of the Phantom Thieves feel sad.

"You are not the only one who wants to help them, and wants to prevent this tragedy from happening again. Of course we do too." Noah, who was silent for a while, didn't know where to start, so he had to express this.

"However, if I hadn't made a special trip to talk to Joker about this matter, you would have helped, but it wouldn't have become such a big deal, right?" A hint of hesitation could be read from Noah's Ark's brief silence, and Conan was even more convinced of what he had just said. Guess, shook his head, "So many things happen in Tokyo every day, and you have too many things to pay attention to. It seems that I have caused trouble for you."

Promoting the progress of the case step by step, and methodically detonating everyone in the entire chain. This is completely different from the way the Phantom Thieves of Heart handle other cases.

This development rhythm of expanding public opinion and creating momentum must have been carefully planned by someone, and they must have put a lot of thought into it.

"...You know we are busy, so don't choose this time to play games, this fake kid!" Realizing that he might not be able to explain the problem, Noah rolled his eyes silently and said angrily.

In other words, he is an artificial intelligence. It is the normal state of computers to divide his consciousness into different sectors to handle different tasks respectively. Otherwise, he would not have time to play holographic games with idle detectives!

"Well, I don't mainly want to play, I just want to find a suitable environment to chat with you..." He touched his head and looked at the people coming and going on Baker Street in front of him, realizing that what he said was inconsistent with his words. The conflicted Conan laughed twice.

I come here to thank others for being so busy for my own sake, but it seems to make others even busier...

"Forget it, it doesn't matter, running this won't bother me particularly anyway." Noah shook his head and pulled the beret on his head, "Actually, I haven't had time to write many scripts carefully. You know, this London The prototype of the stage is the case of Scandal in Bohemia, and in order to run the script of the holographic game at that time, elements of Jack the Ripper were added. Even if you come here to play, you will not experience much fun of the game."

"Are you saying that you will continue to open this game in the future?" Hearing the hidden meaning of continued operation and development in this sentence, Conan was excited at first, but soon became confused again.

"It's impossible to open up. You've seen it before. This is not a technology suitable for promotion, and we don't intend to promote it." Noah spread his hands, "I only plan to use it to use the principles of hypnosis and suggestion to do some slow-motion I didn’t intend to use it to play with the effect of my ‘change of heart’. You may be one of the few players we have.”

"That's such a pity." Looking up at the exquisite single-family houses on the roadside, Conan sighed sincerely, "This form of experience cannot be replaced by other games. If everyone can experience the charm of Sherlock Holmes, How wonderful it would be.”

Just look at it. After playing such a thrilling game, the naughty boys of the Young Detective Team actually overcame their resistance to boring words and started to read Sherlock Holmes seriously. They even took it to school to pick up the contents of the novel and The situation he discussed is enough to illustrate this point.

In this kind of immersive holographic game, promoting any work will surely be beneficial, right?

Conan thought for a moment in fascination.

What a pity. Noah's Ark has repeatedly emphasized that hypnosis and suggestion are unavoidable effects of this game mode. In other words, the ability to experience the game in such an immersive way is based on this psychological effect. For safety reasons, this This advanced technology has not yet come out.

What a pity, what a pity.

It's all the organization's fault. They even develop advanced things that have such strong side effects. It's really a cancer!

"Even if Sherlock Holmes has your face?" Noah pointed at No. 221 in front of him with his gloved finger and teased.

"...Why haven't you changed it back?" Knowing that the original designer was planning to create an image of Kudo Yusaku, Conan's face stiffened and he protested loudly, "Even if it's my dad, it's better than using my face." It’s more normal!”

"Isn't this very suitable for you, 'Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei Era'?" Noah tugged on his little cloak and came up with this chuuni nickname to call him, "There's nothing wrong with being compared to your idol. Already?"

At this moment, they were standing in the scene of model workers with a high frequency of appearances in Noah's game space, Baker Street.

Although as the controller of the palace, he only needs to change the rules with a thought. Even if his image is very cyberpunk, he will not attract much attention when standing on this British street in the Victorian era. However, in order to pursue the role-playing experience, Noah still prepared a costume for himself in a decent manner.

A beret, a felt cape, a shirt and vest, and a pair of small leather gloves to cover his hands that were all covered with screws and metal seams. They looked decent and didn't look like a robot at all.

"It's not good anywhere! After all, you suddenly changed the character image at that time, maybe because you wanted to express something related to us. This has been over for so long, why didn't you change his face back! "Screamed twice in displeasure, Conan half-moonedly watched Noah walk up and knock on the door of No. 221.

Obviously I am the game administrator and I am free to operate the game however I want. Why is there still an inexplicable sense of ritual here?

"Joker said it would be unlucky to go back." Noah replied as he watched the door of No. 221 being opened by the landlady and smiled at her knowingly.

"Unlucky, you say?" It seems unlucky to say that Sherlock Holmes died once, but didn't Conan Doyle finally give him a happy ending due to pressure from readers? Conan thought strangely.

"Because Holmes has been single all his life." Noah looked at him as if he were a fool, and took him to the living room upstairs. "Although Dr. Watson was once married, his family situation in the end was hard to tell. Happy...don't you think it's a curse to replace them with your father and Dr. A Li?"

"Would it be appropriate to switch to me and Karasawa?!" Isn't this even worse! Conan protested even louder.

"Isn't this quite appropriate? I see you can't find a partner." "Dr. Watson" sitting in front of the fireplace put down the book in his hand and looked at the two children who came up.

"...Your outfit is too weird." Conan looked over excitedly, and then saw the white-haired and red-eyed joker Conan speechlessly, and couldn't help complaining, "And where is Sherlock Holmes? I don't mind if you change it to me. He's like this, why don't you let me talk to him?"

Although it is a bit strange to look at the mature version of myself, but I have to say that the ability of artificial intelligence Noah's Ark to analyze and construct characters may be better than many mediocre authors. The Sherlock Holmes he constructed, although It may not necessarily be the version that best matches the image of the original work, but it is still very charming.

He planned to hypnotize himself to pretend that it was Conan who was his father who was younger, but his expectations were once again disappointed, and he couldn't help but let out a big sigh.

"I can't help it. Mr. Holmes has had some changes in his state of mind since the last fire. He is traveling outside to relax. He is temporarily unable to meet the fans' demand for photos." Spreading his hands, Tang Ze sincerely expressed that he could not help.

This is not a lie. Although the puppets in the palace are controlled by the master of the palace and can be created and destroyed by Noah at any time, Holmes, as an important role, is still filled with shadows in his core, and he has a little bit of his own operation. logic.

It took a lot of effort to cultivate a stronger shadow, and Noah cherishes it now.

Tang Ze, who ruthlessly tore apart the shadow of his previous mini-boss level, Jack the Ripper, really didn't have the position to object and could only let it go.

Conan, who didn't quite believe it, looked at Noah suspiciously, and then at the joker who was talking seriously. He looked around the living room that was very faithful to the description in the original work, and let out a big sigh.

"Forget it, I didn't come here to play in the first place." He said this not very sincerely. Conan retracted his reluctant eyes towards the bullet-riddled wallpaper, looked at Joker sitting on the sofa in front of him, and said seriously. , "I have some new ideas about the last topic."

"The topic last time, you mean, about what detectives can do?" Tang Ze, who was slightly surprised, put aside the book on his knees and sat up straighter, "Why, you have new insights. Really? Then I’m all ears.”

Even if the leader of the Phantom Thieves, who was so busy that he came to the game to wait for someone in response to the detective's call, could not really relax here.

On the surface, he was reading a book, but he was actually flipping through the current progress notes on the incident that Noah had compiled for him, as well as the details of several other campus death cases with similar elements that he had captured from social platforms.

Just like what he told Conan, cultivate virtue and eliminate evil. If we only deal with the case of Minako Mochizuki, I feel that this may be a special case that has attracted the attention of the Phantom Thieves. There must be perpetrators involved in school bullying or similar situations. Take a chance.

In order to further reinforce the impression that doing so would result in the water meter being checked, Tang Ze prepared to handle two other similar cases simultaneously in the next step.

A school, even an elementary school with very young students, is also a small society that calls itself a system.

The operating rules here are different from real social scenes, but they are also full of good and evil caused by the environment. Even because the participants are children, the unprovoked evil and the chaotic malice of following the crowd will be purer and darker. .

It is also very challenging to select representative ones among these numerous cases that can be used as derivatives of the case. However, as the decision-maker of the Phantom Thieves, this is what Karasawa must do.

However, after all, he is no longer a mere commander. He has chosen a suitable partner, Noah has planned a path to change his mind, and his teammates have gone out in a car and stopped at stations along the way to kill monsters according to the table. He is already much more relaxed than at the beginning. It wouldn't be a big problem to take some time to meet with the detective who insisted on meeting me.

"Yes, I have some new ideas." Conan said with a serious face, "Since the detective can only chase behind the puzzle, we are destined to only appear after the dust has settled to solve the scattered puzzles. Balls of yarn, that’s certainly true.

"However, I think if detectives were less passive, if we could proactively identify problems and do something before it's irreversible... things would be different."

Having said this, his eyes moved slightly.

Some people and things flew through his mind.

If, if, three years ago, the mystery of Minako Mochizuki's death could have attracted a powerful enough detective, for example, the fire on Moon Shadow Island ten years ago could have attracted the attention of a certain "Sherlock Holmes"...

Of course it will be different.

Since the mission of a detective is to investigate, find out the truth of the incident, clear up the grievances, and say what they want to tell the world on behalf of the victims who can no longer speak...

"The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, and the second best time is now." Quoting a famous saying, Conan said seriously, "Of course we cannot predict when the case will come, but if we can have a way to solve some past cases problem, then at least we can prevent the tragedy before us."

Raising his eyebrows, Tang Ze showed an interesting expression: "What do you mean, you have already gained something?"

Conan's statement is actually not difficult to understand.

To put it bluntly, detectives are basically passive.

They are detectives, not police dogs. They can't just find all kinds of bizarre incidents all over the country and try to solve the cases. The detectives basically accept the client's request, or they are just living ordinary lives. Only then will I be exposed to various cases.

It was the detectives who were involved in the case. Their appearance was like knocking down dominoes. This was the origin of the nature of the incident.

But what if there is a detective who has such a sense of social responsibility, who proactively and spontaneously smells the coming storm, and takes the first step to resolve the source of the grudges?

"Yes, I have gained something...this is the inspiration you gave me."

Conan coughed slightly embarrassedly and slowly took out his mobile phone - it's really strange why the mobile phone can be used in the game. Is the simulation ability of Noah's Ark so outrageous?

"Before establishing the Phantom Thief Channel, you were able to discover the signs of so many cases because you were around Uncle Maori, right? The Phantom Thief Channel gave you a channel to take the initiative, which is actually similar to a detective's office. It's just that , it is difficult to find you as soon as possible when asking a detective to ask you to 'change your mind'. So..."

Tang Ze's eyes widened as he listened to Pin explain what he meant.

"What do you mean, did you find something on our Phantom Thief channel?"

Good guy, detectives are smart, right?

The detective had just tried his best after being given a few earnest words of advice from the Phantom Thief to specialize in the arts. After pondering for a whole night, the detective understood a real-world operating logic at the speed of light——

If you can't beat it, join.

Since the Phantom Thieves can use their own intelligence channels and newly established websites to make their business prosper without leaving their feet on the ground, there's no reason why the Detective can't?

"Ahem, I didn't discover this all by myself." Conan blushed a little knowing that he didn't even say hello and was doing some tricks here. He quickly showed the page on his mobile phone, "I, please help me, Doctor. I made a small program for keyword search, and compiled a summary of messages on the Kaitou channel that questioned the truth about accidental deaths, believed that failure to deal with them would quickly lead to greater consequences, and questioned the investigation results of malignant cases. ...I think this message is quite valuable.”

Although there is no cost to speak anonymously on the Internet and there is a lot of misleading information, Conan cannot only accept all news on the Internet.

At home, he still has case files from various places that his father has worked tirelessly to collect for more than ten or twenty years!

As long as we can find out the parties involved in even one incident and solve the unresolved cases in the past for them, then there will probably be one less Yonehara Koko in the world who is comforted by nightmares.

Taking his cell phone, Tang Ze looked intently at the message on the bulletin board.

[Can you really change people’s minds? Is it okay to make mistakes no matter how long ago they were made?

A friend of mine and I made a big mistake over the past twenty years, which resulted in an unforgivable tragedy...

But he has refused to admit that this was his fault for so many years, and I am too despicable to dare to take the initiative to expose this because I am involved.

I'm in pain. Please help me, let me, him, or anyone else pay the due price for the mistakes I made back then.

His thoughts have become more and more deep in recent years. If he is not stopped in time, something more terrible may happen.

Please, really please.

If you need a name...

Nagato Hideomi, Nagato is bright. 】

Oh haha!

Tangze's eyes suddenly lit up.

Chapters that have been illustrated will have a small symbol next to the chapter name.

In short, except for a few tarots that still need to be corrected, the current character tarots have been completed. You can go to the past chapters to read them.
