Conan: The Phantom Heart Thief

"Hey, hey!" Conan struggled in vain in Joker's grasp, "What are you saying with my face and voice without your permission!"

"If you keep yelling, I'll call and confess on your behalf." Joker's counterattack was powerful, and he instantly controlled the completely red-hot Conan.

Conan stopped struggling immediately, but his face turned red, and he said some difficult to understand words like "Confession, what confession, how could I like a guy like that", "It's just childhood, don't spread rumors", and the stairwell was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Kazawa shook Conan, who was stuck in a stubborn cycle, and put him at the exit door.

Conan landed steadily on the ground, curiously looking to see what he was going to do, and then his face was covered by the hood of a Teitan school uniform jacket.

After finally pulling open the clothes that were blocking his vision, Conan thought Joker was going to take the opportunity to run away and disappear. When he looked up, he was surprised to find that Joker was still standing in front of him.

It just completely changed.

He was wearing red and black plaid overalls, a white turtleneck sweater, and a large black coat on the outside. The hood was pulled up high, revealing a little bit of his white hair bangs and a face covered with sunglasses.

"What's wrong?" Joker adjusted his sunglasses, and could vaguely see the red eyes under the sunglasses from the edge of the frame, "Are you not used to not using your face?"

It is not difficult to see that Kazawa is preparing to create an image for the Joker that is not used in daily life, so that he can switch accounts according to needs.

Theoretically, the Joker, who is proficient in disguise, can appear around Conan in anyone's identity, just like Kid often does, but it is easier to convince people with a "real image" that seems to be true. This is what Kazawa said from experience.

The idea of white hair and red eyes is a great one, and as long as he keeps his "third eye" open, his eyes will naturally glow red, and he doesn't need to change to colored contact lenses.

Kazawa now has three forms: normal blue eyes, golden pupils when wearing a mask, and glowing electric eyes of the third eye (no, red eyes), which are more than enough to use for his onion skin.

Last time we talked about Joker's image, Kazawa, who was very inspired, had been holding back for a long time and could finally show off this prepared character.

So after playing Impression Space, Kazawa, who had nothing to do, came to the KTV to create a classic scene. His main purpose was to make fun of Conan, his secondary purpose was to show off his new appearance, and at the very end he promoted the Joker's philosophy of action. Warning Kogoro Mouri to be careful was completely a momentary desire to spoil the plot.

A successful phantom thief should have style in his work, speak like a riddler, have his own artistic insights, and add a little bit of obsession and devilish elements. This is what Kazawa thinks and designs.

His core lines and concepts will be the declaration of "breaking the cycle of sin", which is a second-year but convenient way to embody philosophical ideas — if you ask Kazawa himself, he does not have the awareness of a pure and good red man. He mainly does things according to his mood. If he doesn't like the murderer and the deceased, then let them die. It's your fault, Mihua, and it's also part of the ecological cycle of nature.

He also plans to retain certain prominent and uncommon elements in Joker's real identity.

So in the end, Kazawa chose the combination of the white-haired, red-eyed P5 male protagonist's showy school uniform and a trendy jacket. It's handsome, not embarrassing, and it can also fool Conan into linking his abnormality with a sci-fi plot such as a disease or an experiment.

"You, really have white hair?" Conan blurted out a somewhat silly sentence.

Kazawa bent down, lowered his sunglasses, and looked directly at Conan with his red eyes: "What's wrong, is it strange?"

White hair, red eyes, albinism? Genetic mutation? Some impolite thoughts turned around in his mind for a few times, but Conan swallowed them and just said, "It's just a little rare."

Just as Kazawa expected, this daily appearance with various features closer to the Joker form easily made Conan believe that he might really look like this.

"So you brought me out specifically, is there something wrong?" Conan, who accepted the image of Joker, relaxed a little, and the vigilance in his attitude decreased a little.

"Yes." Kazawa rummaged in his pocket, took out a lollipop, unwrapped it and stuffed it into his mouth. "I came to say hello to my neighbor. Although you don't seem to go home very often, and I don't go back very often either, but we are future neighbors after all, so saying hello and giving a gift is necessary etiquette."

"Neighbor?" The image of Kazawa flashed before Conan's eyes, but he quickly dismissed it. Why did he suddenly think of Kazawa? "You want to live near the detective agency?"

Kazawa gave him a strange look and said in a weird tone, "Are you trying to announce that after you get married, you will marry into the Mori family and change your name to Mori Shinichi?"

"What the hell!" Conan, who had finally forgotten about the joke, blushed again, "Why do you keep slandering people's innocence?"

"Have you forgotten where your home is, kid?" Kazawa rolled his eyes, but Conan couldn't hear him because he was wearing sunglasses. "I mean your home, your own home."

"...Ah, you live next door to me?" Conan realized belatedly that he was just staying at the Mori family's house temporarily, and slapped his forehead and cleared his throat awkwardly.

The community where Kudo's house is located is a mid- to high-end residential area of single-family villas. On one side of his house is Professor Agasa's house, and the other side has always been vacant.

I heard that the owner of the house died a long time ago in a love murder case, and the house became a haunted house. The price is not high, but no one has taken it over.

Kazawa was silent for a long time after discovering this, wondering if the unlucky previous owner might have been too close to the Kudo family, attracting the merciless radiation of the god of death?

"I found out after I bought it, because it was indeed cheap... and it just so happened that the family next door had the last name 'Kudo'." Kazawa lied with his eyes open, spreading his hands, "What a bad fate."

How could it be an accident? Kazawa did it on purpose.

Price is not the primary factor that Fu Ge needs to consider. What's more, Beika Town lacks everything, and it is impossible for it to lack haunted houses.

He wanted to buy a relatively spacious house as his base, and first settle Xingchuan Hui, whose social identity he had taken over, into it. The place could not be too far from him, otherwise it would be inconvenient for Xingchuan Hui to provide support.

Shuichi Akai has never provoked Akemi Miyano in his life, but since he will be liquidated because of the Kazawa couple, Akemi Miyano is also unsafe. Based on his parents' work experience, their relationship with the Miyano couple may have been exposed to the organization long ago.

The Miyano sisters and the Akai family are the only relatives that Kazawa has in this world. No matter what the reason, he must protect them. This is also the reason why he hurriedly put on a vest and joined the organization.

With this in mind, the houses around Kudo's house are a good idea.

It is very likely that Miyano Shiho will continue to grow smaller, so it is necessary for her to live near Professor Agasa.

After careful selection, Kazawa bought the haunted house next to the Kudo family. The house was roughly cleaned up and Hoshikawa Teru just moved in yesterday.

Conan looked at him suspiciously, not quite accepting this explanation.

Since Joker was circling around him and keeping a close eye on him, he didn't believe that the other party didn't know the location of his home. The most likely reason he chose this location was to keep an eye on him.

It's so weird, it feels like there's a perverted stalker following me.

Conan frowned and said reluctantly, "Your souvenir for your neighbor is to disguise yourself as him to scare him?"

"Ungrateful boy, without me today, how are you going to explain your relationship with Shinichi to your Ran?" This sentence pinched the other party's weak spot again, and Kazawa pulled him out, "I have a feeling that there will be many times in the future when I will help you out. Thinking about it this way, it's a pity."

"If you feel you're being wronged, you can find someone else. Don't just focus on me." Conan squinted at him, "There are many detectives in Tokyo. You want to find various cases to satisfy your heroic dream. Why do you have to choose me?"

Because the other detectives' Death halo is too weak, and if he doesn't rely on the Death's radiation to find major cases, he's afraid that he won't be able to get down to the bottom of the memory space in his lifetime.

"Because I need you to help me fight that organization. You need more power anyway, so why not do a win-win situation?" Walking towards the residential area where Kudo's house is located, Kazawa pulled up his hood to cover his conspicuous white hair more tightly. "What I need you to do is very simple... If there is a murder case or a commission to go out, you must inform me in time, especially if there is any news about that organization. Want a lollipop?"

Conan awkwardly took the candy from him, thanked him, and had a lot of mixed thoughts in his mind.

This is a good opportunity to understand Joker's criminal methods, or rather, his action methods.

And his ability is indeed excellent. If he uses his power to help himself, perhaps he can get rid of the burden of his body and identity after becoming smaller...

"Deal." Conan unwrapped the plastic wrapper of the lollipop and held the round candy ball in his mouth. His tone became cold and serious. "But don't be too optimistic. Even if I don't understand how you did it for the time being, I think your ability could get out of control at any time. You should also understand that if no one can detect your methods, it means that your power is beyond the current regulatory scope of normal means, and no one can supervise what you will do. You are not harming others now only because of your own choice. If you use your methods to do evil, I will definitely bring you to justice."

His intuition is quite accurate, he is worthy of being the protagonist.

This is indeed the case. Even if we don't consider the plug-in abilities he gained by exploiting the game system, and only consider his identity as a personality mask user, as long as Kazawa is willing, he can completely complete a series of perfect crimes without any trace through the other world, just like Goro Akechi in the original work, and it would be easy for him to kill anyone he wants.

It should be said that his ability is on the left, he is Batman, Superman, the invincible vigilante and hero; on the right, he is Light Yagami, the unrivaled super villain who can stand up and become the Kami of the new world.

"If someone else said that, I might laugh at them for overestimating their own abilities, but if it's you, maybe you can really do it." Kazawa smiled brightly and pushed up his sunglasses. "That's not bad either. When you turn into a monster, you can be destroyed in time. It's also a heroic romance. Then it's a deal. Find out what I am as soon as possible, and then keep an eye on me forever, little detective."
