The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

When Conan saw the car logo clearly, he knew exactly what had exploded.

It was the man who drove up the mountain just now...

If the car exploded, does that mean they were not allowed to get on the car because there was a bomb in the car or there was a risk of explosion?

It doesn't seem like it. How could someone who can casually say bad things be so kind...

Thinking of this, Conan frowned and prepared to follow the mountain road to see where the explosion occurred above.

As soon as he raised his leg, Tang Ze behind him grabbed his collar.

"Do you want to go up there and take a look?" Tang Ze, who fully understood Conan's intentions, looked at him speechlessly. "You already have a car and gas, and you're planning to run up there?"

"Yeah, that's right. But if we're camping..."

"We still have time to check out the situation before setting up camp." Tang Ze thoughtfully found a good excuse for him. "That sharp-tongued gentleman's car exploded just as he drove up. Maybe he's the culprit. In that case, we can be considered witnesses."

Dr. Agasa, who was still hesitant, straightened his expression immediately after hearing this: "That makes sense, Tang Ze, what you said makes a lot of sense. Let's go and take a look."

If I could prove that this bastard, who looked like a bad guy at first glance, was a criminal, I would have a place to vent the anger I had been holding in my heart.

"Are you guys going camping too?"

A male voice joined their conversation. Dr. Agasa turned his head and saw a tall man with a toothpick in his mouth and a bucket of gasoline in his hand walking down from the RV.

"We have plenty of oil drums. This one's for you." Ida Hang came over with the oil drum and looked at Dr. Agasa's chubby little car. "This is a Beetle, right? I remember the fuel tank is on the right side?"

"Yes, hey, can you add it for us directly? This is too much trouble for you..."

"It's just a matter of convenience. Um..."

Ida Hang turned his head and looked at Natalie's smiling face. He was hesitant for a moment, not knowing whether he should call his lover's name directly.

Although he felt that these children were unlikely to recognize him, and Takagi Shigeru should not introduce himself to them in such detail, it was his first time participating in an operation that required a secret identity, and Ida Ko was still a little hesitant about how to strike the right balance.

Natalie narrowed her eyes and took over the conversation considerately, "Please help the old man check the vehicle's condition, dear. I'll take the children upstairs to take a look first."

Caught off guard by Natalie's call, Idahang's face turned red. He chewed the toothpick on the corner of his mouth twice, and walked around to the right side of the car without saying a word to help refuel.

Natalie looked at him and smiled. She turned around and bent down to ask the children, "Kids, do you want to come up and play? There's some freshly made fruit smoothies in the refrigerator."

"Wow, is that okay?"

"It doesn't matter, our car is still quite big..."

Natalie was originally a school teacher and was the type who was very good at getting along with children. After a few soft words from her, the children were almost eager to get on the RV.

Even Conan, who had been staring at Date Kou, was no exception, although his purpose in coming up was another.

This is the first time I've seen the interior of the Phantom Thieves' RV...

Conan's initial judgment was not wrong. The interior of this RV was quite expensive and luxurious.

Solid wood floors, elegant but high-end interiors, and a complete range of home appliances and sofas. The driver's seat and functional area are separated by a gray curtain, and when you walk in, you even feel like you've entered a high-end apartment.

The children couldn't help but sigh, and Conan's eyes immediately turned to the area around the sofa.

There were tea sets and plates on the coffee table, as if someone had just finished a meal. On the other wall hung several large LCD screens. Although they were all turned off at the moment, they still gave people a strong visual impact.

Conan, who had seen Noah staring at the TV in person at the base, probably understood their use.

Considering that this group of people also need to search the Internet to find their targets, and combat may require sitting down and planning, it is better to say that this is not a travel RV, but rather a mobile office of the Phantom Thieves.

Soon, Natalie came over with a few glasses of smoothies, opened the door curtain, and walked over.

"Okay, I've told the driver I'll go to the mountain first. Want to try some fresh strawberry smoothie?"

The children's attention was immediately attracted to her. They took the small cups she handed over and thanked her. Haibara Ai felt like she was back home. She found a soft pillow for herself, patted it a few times, and leaned against it.

Conan looked at Huiyuan Ai, who had stopped acting, and after thinking for a while, he asked Natalie: "Sister, is this your car? Is that uncle just now your husband?"

These two people were completely unfamiliar faces he had never seen before. He guessed that they were the ones who came down to talk. It was very likely that they were other people. Dr. Agasa, his neighbor, might have seen them once or twice. If they just walked down like this, it would easily arouse suspicion.

This means that the two of them are likely to have just joined not long ago.

Although Yi Dahang's face was not particularly recognizable, it looked familiar no matter how he looked at it. It was very similar to the photo of police academy students he had seen in the Pramya case.

In the photo of five people, two of them were completely invisible, and the rest had been seen in the actions of the Phantom Thieves - such as the time with Ito Suehiko. Thinking more deeply about Miyano Akemi, who was once thought to be dead by the police and the organization, Conan had to admit that the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Have these people been planning this for years, or do they really have abilities that are so exaggerated to this degree...

Could it be that he is actually an ordinary person living in some superhero worldview?

"Oh, yes, he's my husband." Natalie smiled. "We haven't officially gotten married yet, but we've already decided on a date for the wedding."

"They are a newlywed couple, no wonder they seem to have a good relationship." Huibara Ai teased and secretly touched Tang Ze with her hand.

Tang Ze understood what she meant. Since there was no Newegg recently, Haibara Ai, who mainly focused on pharmaceutical experiments, came to the base less frequently and had not received this new message yet.

He nodded imperceptibly, and the smile on Haibara Ai's lips became more sincere.

"That's great, you look very happy..." she wished sincerely.

After a short period of confusion, the two calmed down and quickly decided to get married.

Their identities are very sensitive now, and it is impossible for them to return to the public eye for a while. There is no possibility of meeting with both families and having formal discussions like ordinary couples. The decision of whether to get married naturally becomes a matter between the two of them.

After experiencing a true separation of life and death, there is probably no couple in the world who understands more than them how important it is to cherish the present moment. No one is surprised that they made the decision so quickly.

It was this forbidden power and research that once terrified her that could eventually bring new hope and happiness, which made Huiyuan Ai feel comforted. She knew that her choice was not wrong...

"As for the car, it's not ours." Natalie was still answering Conan's question, "We're out here with some friends. They're still sleeping in the back, and they'll come out to say hello when we get to the campsite later."

Considering the speed at which the Phantom Thieves were growing and the number of people in the group, honestly, if Tang Ze hadn't had the foresight to plan based on the maximum number of people, this car really wouldn't have been able to fit so many people in.

"I see..." Conan nodded slowly.

In other words, there was no special purpose, it was just an ordinary stalking.

After thinking about this, Conan couldn't help but slap his forehead.

...What am I talking about? What do you mean by ordinary stalking? Am I already so accepting of these thieves who are complete stalkers?

Driving such a big RV behind a small Beetle is, to be honest, quite abnormal...

After chatting with Natalie for a few more words, the RV, which had been driving smoothly, stopped.

Conan raised his head as if he had sensed something, turned around and pulled the blinds on the side.

Outside the window, you can already see the billowing smoke and flames from the explosion site.

Did they actually manage to navigate so many sharp mountain bends without feeling any shaking or bumps? This driver is truly amazing...

As I got out of the well-insulated car, I was suddenly overwhelmed by the sounds of crying, screaming and noisy voices.

"Haogui, Haogui——"

"No, Ena, it's dangerous!"

"But, Haogui, but——!"

"We've already sent the fire truck and ambulance, don't be impulsive!"

At the location closest to the door where the fire was bursting out, a black-haired woman was constantly reaching out towards the fire and struggling, as if trying to rush in. Several other young women around her hugged her waist and back and pulled her outward with all their strength.

She looked exactly like a devastated victim's family member. Conan listened to her cries and took a few steps closer.

"Excuse me, is the 'Haogui' you're talking about a man with brown hair, a slight mustache, and wearing a white wool sweater and a black velvet jacket?"

The black-haired woman who called out his name didn't seem to react, but the people around them all turned their heads.

"Eh? Who are you..."

"He just passed us on the road in a..."

Tang Ze, who followed him out of the car, spoke in time, interrupting Conan's question: "We were resting at the foot of the mountain and sorting out supplies when we saw the explosion on the mountain. In this location, firefighters and ambulances will be slow to arrive... Do you need help?"

"That's great, Mr. Haogui is still in the garage..." Several people with tears in their eyes nodded hurriedly.

"Let's do it."

Asai Narumi and Matsuda Jinpei, who had caught up at some point, passed Conan who was standing in the front and took the initiative to approach the fire scene.

"Where are the fire hydrants here? Or the nearest water pipes and water sources."

"Um, I'm not very familiar with the fire protection layout here, but there's a water pump in the courtyard that can be connected to the water pipe. It's usually used to irrigate the garden..."

"Well, take us there."

Conan roughly recognized who they were and felt that it was a bit hellish for the two of them to go up to put out the fire and rescue people: "..."

He really impressed these people...

In the RV behind them, Kenji Hagiwara released his fingers that were holding onto the blinds and sighed helplessly.

"It looks so miserable. If this guy had been a little more kind, he wouldn't have ended up like this."

A bastard who passed by and uttered bad words was burned to death a few minutes later.

Kenji Hagiwara didn't feel any sympathy for him, but just lamented the fickleness of fate.

If this person had been kinder and chosen to give Dr. Agasa a ride to the gas station, he wouldn't be in the current situation.

"I actually think his bad luck might have been caused by his mouth. There's no hope." Zhu Fujingguang crossed his arms and said pertinently, "This wasn't caused by some high-explosive substance, was it?"

When it comes to explosives, there aren't many people who know more about them than these two professional bomb disposal personnel in the Phantom Thieves.

The reason why Jinpei Matsuda went down to help put out the fire was also due to this consideration.

At such a close distance, if you observe the fire carefully, you can definitely see some clues.

"It's a typical gasoline explosion. The car is shattered like this, and with such a big fire, it's unlikely that there was a bomb or something like that." Hagiwara Kenji nodded.

Compared with other high-energy explosion reactions, the flammability and combustion characteristics of gasoline explosions are very obvious. The effect of gasoline itself will cause the fire to spread rapidly and soon form a big fire.

Most bombs would not reach this point unless they occurred in a scene with a lot of flammable materials.

"That's it." Zhu Fu Jingguang nodded slowly.

"What do you mean by that? What is it?"

"A guy who could afford a Rolls-Royce Phantom like that was killed by a bomb. The cause of death is still under investigation. Business competition and conflicts of interest are normal, and it's normal to resort to violence." Zhu Fu Jingguang shrugged. "But the fuel tank exploded directly and burned people to death... It's completely a personal grudge."

People who can afford such a car and live in such a house die because of personal grudges or something...

Having been in the Phantom Thieves for some time, Morofushi Kagemitsu, who felt that his understanding of human nature had become more thorough, guessed that his foul mouth was largely to blame.

"Xiao Zhuo Fu, your reasoning is not very tenable..."

"Really? Wanna make a bet?"

"What are you gambling?"

"How about whoever loses takes the other's shift for a week?"

“So generous?”

"Yeah. Not only am I betting this guy died from a personal vendetta, I'm also going to add that Tang Ze saw how he was going to die and deliberately watched him die."

"Wow, is that so exaggerated? Okay, I'll follow."

Tang Ze, who had no idea what his teammates in the car behind him were doing to him, just put his hands in his pockets, stared at the flames for a while, and then silently looked away.

Judging from the situation, this nobleman should be fully mature now.

Since no innocent people will be harmed and the fire does not seem to be spreading to the mountains and forests, there is no need to intervene.

You know what, the area outside the garage wasn't affected much. The murderer was quite restrained. He just blew up the explosives at a targeted location, taking revenge for his grievances. It was a good thing.
