"What does it mean that Tokio Ehara is gone?" Putting down the coffee in hand, Mori Kogoro asked very blankly.

"Literally." Shiro Konno pushed his sunglasses, wiped his laptop with a cherished face, and said, "I haven't seen him all day today." ”

"Could it be that he is the organizer, who found out that something was wrong and didn't show up at all?" The old man Jincheng pushed the sunglasses on his face and laughed twice, "Jiang Yuan, he is indeed the kind of coward who only acts through the screen." ”

"Old man, do you know Mr. Ehara?" Mori Kogoro looked at him on crutches.

"Hey, why don't you know? He's the murderer of my son. Genichiro Kaneshiro stomped the cane in his hand and sighed.

Conan's attention was immediately attracted, and he looked intently at Genichiro Kaneshiro: "Grandpa, do you mean that Ehara Shio has killed someone?" ”

"What the master said was that he regarded as a child's game program." Lin Jingjiang, the servant standing behind him, added.

"Ehara, he's a despicable guy with good skills, but he never does anything serious." After dusting off his computer and starting to apply a maintenance coating, Shiro Konno said casually, "He's a hacker and has a bad reputation, so you should ask Mr. Maeda and Ms. Sayama about this." ”

Akiko Sayama, who has been out of state today, with a pair of sunglasses on her face, crossed her arms, and when she heard this, she turned her head in one direction.

Satoshi Maeda reached out and patted her back, sat intimately together, and replied for her, "Akiko's brother, who is also a friend of mine, founded a software company a few years ago. Originally, the operation has been good in all aspects, and it has received venture capital from major banks, but Gangwon used hacking methods to steal the program they are developing. ”

Hideko Uejo, who was holding a cigarette, snorted coldly: "I heard of that software, and he tried to sell it to me." After discovering its origins, the company halted the acquisition......"

“…… But it's too late. Satoshi Maeda sighed and hugged his emaciated fiancée, "Akiko's brother, because of the leak of the software, faced divestment and accountability, he couldn't face the questioning of collaborators and investors, and committed suicide by jumping off the building." ”

Akiko Sayama lowered her head and quietly leaned on Satoshi Maeda's broad shoulder, still not saying a word.

Her eyes under her sunglasses were red and swollen at the moment.

Last night, after watching the Monster Thief disappear in the Night Baron's costume in a distraught manner, she watched the video twice before deciding to delete it.

When Satoshi Maeda returned to the room, she hugged her boyfriend and cried for the first time in several years.

The pain brought to her by her brother's death was almost never revealed by the stubborn Akiko Sayama.

The strange thief who claimed to be punishing her seemed to have taken over the burden of her heart at once, and her emotions were completely broken, and she couldn't help but hug her fiancé and cry all night, crying in his arms until she fell asleep.

Today, her eyes are swollen and her voice is hoarse, if it weren't for Maeda Satoshi's insistence, she would definitely not have come out of the door.

"Cong." Akiko Sayama, who had a dumb voice, suddenly called her boyfriend's name.

"Huh? What's wrong? His hand slapped up and down on his girlfriend's back, and Satoshi Maeda subconsciously responded as if he was coaxing a child

"When we get back, let's have a wedding." Akiko Sayama looked at the silver ring on his hand and reached out to shake it with his palm.

Last night, the silver plain ring in her hand, like an anchor in her heart, firmly grasped her.

While communicating with the mysterious person who calls herself the Monster Thief of the Heart, she has been unconsciously stroking it, and eventually wavers and accepts the other party's offer.

…… Put the outfit that represents sin in the place designated by the other party.

also let go of the hatred and anger that had been suppressed on her back.

"Huh?!" Maeda Satoshi was a little surprised, but he was at a loss, and stiffened his movements, "Didn't you say...... Don't want to ...... just yet"

"I've changed my mind." Akiko Sayama laughed, put her forehead on the side of his neck, and whispered, "You're right, my brother has been gone for so long, I should put it down." ”

Satoshi Maeda's eyes flashed with distress and relief, and he hugged his girlfriend deeper into his arms: "Akiko ......"

Conan looked strangely at the two people who were hugging each other crookedly, and he didn't quite understand why their painting style suddenly entered the romance channel, and he just mentioned the death of his brother, which made Akiko Sayama feel shaken and needed the comfort of close people.

He was still thinking about the message in the words of the few people just now.

"So, you're not here for the virus?" Conan was a little confused, "Should you be here for Ehara Shio?" ”

The members who came to participate in the event were all enmity with one of them...... Inexplicably there is a familiar taste.

"They're probably yes, I'm not interested in hackers or anything." Shiro Konno was the most indifferent one, and after completing his daily routine, he put his precious machine in his briefcase, "Anyway, I'm really interested in viruses......"

"If the organizer is really Jiang Yuan Shinan, then I think it's no fun to get the virus, and eighty percent is a pretense that he made up with a trick." Hideko Kamijo shook the cigarette in her hand and said disgustedly, "With his character, if he really mastered that terrifying virus, he would have used it to spread it for blackmail, and it would be impossible to share it with others." ”

Looking at Hideko Uejo's sexy backless dress, Mori Kogoro was a little nervous, and approached a little more attentively: "You seem to know him very well, Miss Uejo." ”

"Hmph, after all, he's my ex-husband." Hideko Kamijo shook her head, her long curls floating like waves on her smooth back.

"Huh?" Maori Kogoro was really surprised at this time, "I can't see it, I can't see it......"

While a group of people were sitting in an open-air restaurant drinking afternoon tea friendly, chatting and testing each other, Conan's peripheral vision suddenly noticed a black shadow.

The inexplicable dream of last night still flashed back in his mind from time to time, and he looked keenly in the direction of the shadow.

——I saw a roll of black robes and white masks suddenly thrown down from the upper floor, and smashed into the pool below, causing the tourists who were playing in the pool to scream.

Almost in the next second, he rushed over and asked loudly, "What's wrong!" ”

Could it be that the missing Jiangyuan Shinan was ...... from above

By the time he could see the mass clearly, his question was stuck in his throat.

"Hats, masks, and cloaks and robes......" Tang Ze, who followed him, crouched down and looked at what was floating on the water.

"This is the Night Baron's outfit." Hideko Kamijo walked over and recognized the distinctive mask.

She looked up and saw the semicircular terrace where Conan had almost fallen yesterday.

"Why do you suddenly throw this thing down, prank?" Shiro Konno frowned as he watched the fabrics slowly unfold in the pool.

When Akiko Sayama saw this scene, her hands with her fiancé suddenly tightened, and tears filled her eyes again.

She knows...... Here's the man's answer.

The mission of the "Night Baron" is over.

Conan, who had been attacked, was probably the most nervous of all the people present.

He pondered, secretly watching the reactions of the crowd, and then looked up at the hotel lobby behind him, trying to find the missing Ehara Tokio.

This look made him stunned.

A chestnut-haired, black-shirted figure, pushing a large silver suitcase in his left hand, was leaving the front desk and heading towards the hotel's main entrance.

From afar, the man's face could not be seen, but this color scheme made Conan think of a familiar name for the first time.

...... Akechi Goro?

"What's wrong?" Tang Ze walked up to him, blocked his gaze, and looked in the direction he was looking for a while, then turned around and said, "Did you find anything?" ”

“…… It's nothing. Conan shook his head, retracting his gaze as several of the participants scooped the outfit out of the pool, "Maybe I'm mistaken." ”

Akechi Goro also came to this hotel for a vacation...... How could there be such a coincidence, not to mention that he was dressed differently.

Ever since Akechi Goro appeared, his khaki double-breasted shirt and black trousers have never changed, and he has always been dressed like this.

Maybe it's just that the hair color is a bit similar, which makes him delusional.
