After hearing Conan's reasoning, Kurusu almost couldn't help laughing. But on the surface, he still pretended to be surprised and cooperated with Conan's performance.

"You mean, I repented because my desire was unknowingly stolen by that Phantom Thief? This is ridiculous!"

"No, in fact, this inference is entirely possible!" Conan was obviously convinced of his reasoning. "I have investigated your file. You went to court in October last year. The file shows that when you first appeared in court,

, your attitude is quite bad. Although you confessed to the fact that you committed the crime, you made rude remarks many times and showed no apology to the victim..."

"Wait a minute, where did you get my file!?"

"Dr. Ali, as your temporary guardian, of course he also keeps these documents. If I want to know, it couldn't be easier!"

"We went on to say that in short, your attitude was extremely bad at the beginning of the trial. But one day, you seemed to be a different person and became humble and polite. After that, you not only actively cooperated with the trial, but also took the initiative to express condolences to the victims.

I'm sorry. After that, you truly regretted it as you said."

"Don't you think it's strange? In just one night, you have changed your past temperament and are planning to start a new life?"

Because he was a different person! After that night, it was me, the unlucky time-traveler, who assumed the identity of Akatsuki Kurusu, and had to bear the crime committed by his brain-twitching! Akatsuki Kurusu sighed in his heart.

Recalling the gloomy time when he first traveled through time, Akatsuki Kurusu's heart couldn't help but throb. At that time, he took over the mess left by his original body and struggled for a long time to win the forgiveness of the victim.

With the trust of the relevant personnel, he was only given a protection and observation sanction instead of being sent to a juvenile correctional center. For this punishment, he had no idea how many oaths he swore and how many tears he shed!

Unable to look back on the past, Akatsuki Kurusu brought her mind back to reality and followed Conan's words:

"It's a bit strange to say that. So based on this past of mine, you concluded that my heart was stolen by the Phantom Thief?"

"But don't forget, I was under the supervision of the police at that time! No one came to visit me during that time. If the facts are really what you said, how did Phantom Thief commit the crime?"

"This is indeed the biggest mystery." Conan nodded, saying that he could not explain this for the time being. "Currently, I have not been able to deduce the modus operandi of the Phantom Thief. This Mr. Phantom Thief always appears without warning.

He appeared suddenly, sent the warning letter without anyone noticing, and completed the crime within a day, even the victim knew nothing about him!"

"This is simply unbelievable. How did he send the notice letter in a covert manner? How did he complete the crime without contacting the victim? I can't solve these mysteries, but maybe I can find out what may be there from you.

clue!"

"Because you may be the first target of the Phantom Thief, and he may have left some traces when he committed the crime for the first time. So, Kurusu-san, I think you should go to the police now, tell them your experience, and then cooperate

investigation!"

"I refuse!" Akatsuki Kurusu decisively rejected Conan's proposal. "Your inference has no concrete evidence, and there is no way to confirm that I am the first target of Phantom Thief. Of course, even if everything you say is true,

, and I don’t intend to do what you suggest.”

"Why!?"

"Because for me, if I really repented because of the Phantom Thief, then he is my benefactor. He gave me a chance to start my life again. Why should I let my benefactor fall into the law?"

"...Ah, from your point of view, this is indeed the case." Conan sighed in disappointment, "But I still hope that you can seriously consider my proposal, so that if one day, your benefactor

If he loses control, your experience may be the key to countering him."

"Speaking of Conan, how did you come up with this reasoning?" Seeing that Conan had no intention of continuing, Akatsuki Kurusu said again, "You are just a first-year elementary school student, right?"

"What stupid things are you talking about?" Conan wiped his glasses and looked speechless, "Don't you already know my true identity? I have behaved like this today, is it possible that you still want to be with me?

Continue to act in front of me?"

Now that Conan said this, Kurusu Akatsuki immediately understood, put away the smiling face that faced a child, and unveiled the first mask on his face.

"How do you know that I know your secret, Kudo-kun?"

"After the third meeting, I started to doubt you from then on." Conan also completely lost the disguise of a child and said as Kudo Shinichi, "Then I carefully recalled the scene when we first met,

I found there were too many unnatural places.”

"At that time, I had just become small and I was still wearing adult clothes. Any normal person would find it strange if they saw it, right? Dr. Ali's excuse seemed weak at that time, but you believed it so easily. It's hard not to let it go.

People doubt it.”

"In our subsequent contacts, I roughly understood that you are not a fool like Uncle Maori, and Dr. Ali's excuses cannot deceive you. Therefore, I suspect that on that night, you were

He secretly heard the conversation between me and the doctor."

"What if I just wanted to give Dr. Ali some face at that time, but actually didn't know your identity at all?"

"I also thought of this possibility at first, but I quickly ruled it out. In several contacts with you, I observed that you are a person with excellent memory and observation skills. Many of them even I

You can easily notice things you didn't notice."

"I learned from Dr. Agasa that you met me on the first day you came to Yoneka Town. Although you only saw my back, you could still remember the coat I was wearing at that time. At that time,

Dr. Li called my name in front of you, and from then on you knew who I was."

"The first time I met you when I was small was only a few hours later. I was still wearing that big coat at that time, and you could easily recognize it with your memory and observation. Even if

You did not eavesdrop on the conversation between me and Dr. Agasa, and you can also infer from this that I am involved with Kudo Shinichi."

"What finally convinced me was the agreement between you and Xiaolan. Through insinuations, I learned about the agreement between you and Xiaolan - that is, to help him pay attention to Kudo Shinichi's situation. It was you who first

It was brought up. I think considering your personality, you must have felt sympathy for her at that time before you said that."

"Then the doubt arises. After the agreement was concluded, you never asked Dr. Ali for any news about Kudo Shinichi! This is strange. Apart from the news papers and that figure from behind, you have no information about Kudo Shinichi.

I don’t know anything else! So after you agreed to Xiaolan’s commission, if you want to know about Kudo Shinichi’s current situation, you should ask Dr. Agasa, who is most familiar with Kudo Shinichi!”

"But you didn't do that. You didn't even take the initiative to understand what Kudo Shinichi is like in life. According to my observation, you don't seem like a person who would forget about agreements with others. What does this mean?

?It means that you know everything about Kudo Shinichi, that is, my current situation, and there is no need to inquire at all!"
