The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

Chapter 1068: Violent Car Collision with Friendly Forces

"...I don't know where you got the confidence to mock us like this. But anyway, unless you hand over the bomb's structural diagram, you and this policeman will stay here."

Elenica took a deep look at Chiba and Shin who had fallen asleep again, and when she turned around, her expression became calm again.

Matsuda Jinpei's words did shake her mind, but after Chiba's interruption, her disordered mood calmed down a little.

Jinpei Matsuda glanced upward out of the corner of his eye.

Using his special vision, he quickly saw the small figure moving quietly between the barbed wire.

...As expected, the little detective followed us. I can only say that when it comes to interfering in things, this guy is just as good as Tang Ze.

"I easily dealt with the troubles you haven't solved yet." Retracting his attention, he pretended that he hadn't noticed anything and continued to answer, "If I really gave the things to you, you would immediately change direction and run away without a trace, right?"

"...My brother seemed to be praising you so much. Now it seems that you are just an ordinary policeman." Matsuda Jinpei refused to give in, and Erenikha narrowed her eyes.

"I'm just an ordinary policeman. The nature of my work is a little more dangerous than others, but that's all." Matsuda Jinpei didn't accept her sarcasm at all. "If it was your brother, he wouldn't be so hard-line, right? Since he found the Metropolitan Police Department, he must be ready to cooperate with the police. You have to know that your identities are special. You can carry guns to Tokyo. You didn't enter the country legally, right?"

The corners of Elenika's mouth were straightened, and she didn't say much.

Unlike her brother Oleg's idea of ​​finding Jinpei Matsuda to seek cooperation, her own ideas have always been much more radical.

Her hand slowly reached for the holster, and when she was about to make a direct threat according to the process of negotiation breakdown, a crisp bell rang.

Elenika was stunned for a moment and looked down at her pocket.

Since she began tracking down Pramya and founded Nado Unichitsi, her personal phone has been used for almost no personal purposes.

She and her brother abandoned their previous jobs and lives and devoted themselves to the operation against Pramya. Today, the only people who can contact them are their fellow soldiers in the team...

"Hello?" Staying alert, Erenica stared at Jinpei Matsuda in front of her and took out her cell phone.

Oleg's anxious voice came from the receiver, and Erenika's eyes widened in an instant.

Knowing that the situation had changed and it would be difficult to continue the conversation, Jinpei Matsuda narrowed his eyes, glanced in Conan's direction with concern, and then tilted his head.

This was the code of action they had agreed upon in advance.

So the next moment, before Erenikha could say the shocking fact that "Jinpei Matsuda had died in the line of duty", the lights in the underground facility suddenly went dark.

"What the—Ugh!"

"Oh no, someone is coming—"

"Damn police, it might be the GPS locator..."

Curses mixed in Japanese and Russian, mixed with a few cries of panic or attacks, mixed together, and in an instant the entire dark space became unsettling.

Conan, who had just slipped down the stairs to the first floor, staggered twice because of the sudden darkness and cried out inwardly, "Oh no!"

Their conversation has not yet come to any conclusion, and it is obviously impossible for this group of pumpkin heads to have taken the initiative to do this.

Someone attacked this place!

Knowing that everyone here just has different standpoints, but they all want to fight against Pramya, the imaginable situation becomes very bad...

He didn't care about the possible noise, rushed to the bottom floor and turned on the flashlight on his watch.

"Mr. Adachi, Mr. Adachi!"

He called out to Adachi Toru loudly, and the light from his watch swept towards the direction where Adachi Toru had originally stood, just as he remembered before the light went out.

But I only saw a dark corner of the robe...

"Oh no - Officer Kazami, or whoever it is on the other end, something's wrong!" Conan decisively turned on the switch and shouted at the detective badge in his hand.

----

While the underground facility was in chaos, on the ground, the group fight between the pumpkin-headed men in black had just ended the riot.

The scene was too chaotic, and it was in the crowded central area of ​​Shibuya. Among the dozens of people who came to distribute candy at the beginning, there were already many nearby tourists. Some people were scared because of the chaos, and some thought it was a new activity, and the scale was soon expanded.

In short, when the noisy crowd separated again, the ground was a mess, with candy wrappers, black robes, and broken pumpkins scattered all over the ground. It was obviously difficult to clean up easily.

"What is going on..." Sato Miwako held her forehead and looked at her watch worriedly.

An hour has passed since Toru Adachi arrived at Miyashita Park for the appointment as agreed.

The public security police did not allow them to intervene in this incident. She had no idea about the progress of the situation and instinctively fell into anxiety.

She couldn't explain where her emotions came from.

Strictly speaking, Adachi Toru is a bit of a nuisance.

Although no one knew what misconduct had led to his dismissal in the past, he seemed to have a sense of superiority. He was sarcastic about their work, and his words always had a perfunctory and lazy tone. It made people wonder how such a person had completed the police academy training and joined the job.

Can frustration and suffering really distort human nature into this? Sato Miwako is not very clear, but looking at his current state, she can't help but feel that it is ridiculous and pathetic.

But apart from that, she couldn't deny that she had caught Adachi Toru's true thoughts that occasionally slipped out from beneath his exterior more than once.

Plus today, when that person stood in front of me in the form of Matsuda...

"Officer Sato." Takagi Wataru patted the dazed Sato Miwako, "Are you okay? The media over there are rushing over, and Officer Megure asked us to be careful with our words."

"...The media has already arrived?" Sato Miwako held her forehead, feeling really thorny, "These guys' noses are a bit too sharp..."

"Well, it seems like Nichiren TV is doing some interview activity at Shibuya Crossing, which is very close to here. I rushed over as soon as I heard the news, and they have been filming for a while." Takagi Shigeru scratched the back of his head, feeling the same subtle speechlessness and embarrassment.

A group of passers-by and tourists were involved in a physical conflict for inexplicable reasons. The first thing the media did when they arrived at the scene was to open the camera cap and start recording...

I knew these media people were immoral, but I didn't expect them to be so immoral.

"Let Officer Megure handle it. We will question a few more people and then evacuate the residents as soon as possible." Sato Miwako shook her head and reminded Takagi of her job content.

"…Because Adachi Toru is still nearby on that mission, if he accidentally appears in the camera, something might go wrong, right?" Takagi Wataru laughed and patted Sato Miwako's clenched fist. "I know you are worried about that mission."

"What nonsense are you talking about..." Sato Miwako turned her head away and didn't admit it. "He just looks like Matsuda."

What's more, by now, she has gradually walked out of the shadow of the explosion and gradually let go of the shadow of the past.

When she saw someone who looked exactly like Jinpei Matsuda standing in front of her, she was not as excited as she had imagined.

The damaged pair of sunglasses I picked up last time was like a period, blowing away a lot of the haze that had passed through my heart from time to time in the past three years.

Even though the doubts still remain, if she is honest, Sato Miwako does not think that her relationship with Matsuda has changed substantially compared to three years ago.

Matsuda's sacrifice was a catalyst. The boundary between life and death could not be crossed, and she could not control the infinite sublimation of the short few days of time together. It also overlapped with her life and destiny that she was always losing, thus forming an indelible shadow in her heart, making her dare not move forward, dare not get close to others casually, for fear that after gaining something, she would lose it again.

The recent life and death mystery, and today, seeing Matsuda, whose authenticity was unclear, made her finally unable to help but start to imagine, what if Matsuda Jinpei was not dead?

If Matsuda Jinpei hadn't died, the two of them might have been partners in the Investigation Division for a long time, developing feelings for each other while bantering and tripping each other up, leading to a different ending;

Perhaps Matsuda Jinpei will continue to be entangled in the bombing case and will not be able to spare the energy to manage other relationships. He will not stay in the Investigation Division for long, and after his life trajectory intersects with hers, he will gradually drift away;

Or maybe, after spending some time together, she decided that Matsuda was not the right person for her, so she didn't make any changes and everything went well...

All possibilities and assumptions vanished with his death.

Today, three years later, even if Matsuda Jinpei really appeared alive in front of her at this moment, she could only say...

"You don't have to worry about anything, Takagi." Sato Miwako said in a calm tone that she herself did not expect, "I also wish Matsuda hadn't died. I wish I could have said goodbye to him for real, rather than ending up like this with so much regret. But if you miss it, you miss it. There is no point in imagining something that has not happened. I am just glad that I have a backup option today, and it is not you who made such a dangerous decision."

"Officer Sato..." Takagi Wataru, who had never expected to hear such heartfelt words, was stunned.

Miwako Sato looked back at him with a smile.

The two of them just stared at each other silently until they were interrupted by the unbearable cough of Shiratori Renzaburo behind them.

"Working hours." Shiratori Renzaburo swung the manual in his hand, "Be careful of the impact."

Okay, it's my fault for mistaking the person, and I apologize for trying to interfere in your relationship so many times, but this is no reason for the two of you to throw flash bombs at your colleagues at work.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Both of them blushed, lowered their heads, and said nothing more.

Megure Juzo saw that his men had finally dispersed to do their proper work and would not be captured by the media cameras slacking off, so he gave up the camera.

"That's the situation. Citizens, please pay attention to travel safety during the holidays and avoid accidents in crowded areas." As he spoke, he returned the microphone in his hand to Mizunashi Rena who was standing beside him with a smile, "We still have work to finish."

The warm smile on Mizuno Rena's face did not change. She just took a few steps forward with the photographer and continued to take pictures of a young man in a black robe with several footprints on his body. By the way, she randomly interviewed a few passing tourists and asked about their situation today.

"Well, someone offered us a high salary and hired us to come here and distribute candy at this time. It should be a celebration event of a certain business, I'm not sure... They just handed out flyers over there to recruit people, and they provided the costumes and candy..."

Facing the policemen's gazes, Rena Mizunashi insisted on holding the microphone.

She also knew that she was annoying by continuing to interview like this and affecting the police work, but she didn't know what strategy Shuichi Akai had adopted. She could only keep doing this until she could shoot the necessary footage.

But soon, she got the answer she needed, but her smile froze on her face.

In a corner of the camera, not far behind the young man in front, a man also shrouded in a black robe took off the pumpkin head on his head.

He was facing the camera sideways, and was a little far away, but his highly recognizable profile and those rare green eyes were enough to clearly indicate his identity.

Mizuno Reina, who had guessed some of the situation: "..."

Did you go through so much trouble just to take a very casual shot of yourself?

Just as Mizunashi Rena's attention was attracted by Akai Shuichi not far away and she was considering how to divert her attention over there without being noticed, the police over there suddenly became a commotion.

"What did you say, you need support?!"

"Qianye, where are the Qianye people?!"

"What do you mean Chiba is fine but everyone else ran away?!"

"Huh? You said that the criminal who kidnapped Chiba was suspected to have been kidnapped?! How is this possible..."

Before Mizunashi Rena could turn her attention over there, the commotion over there had already made the eyes of the other TV station colleagues following behind her light up, and they all turned their heads over there.

Their footsteps headed in that direction almost immediately. Mizunashi Rena was unable to react in time, and was dragged by them as if she was being led by the microphone in her hands, rushing towards the direction where the police were gathering.

Together with Conan, he was carrying the groggy Chiba Kazunobu. Matsuda Jinpei, dressed in black and gray, had just squeezed out of the underground passage. When he looked up, he was met with Mizunashi Rena's round, shocked and confused face.

Matsuda Jinpei felt that this scene was familiar: "..."

Why does it feel like this whole day, my plans are colliding violently with those of my allies...
