Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 243 Chikage, you don't want Kaito's identity to be revealed, do you?!
The second floor of the villa.

Kitahara Natsuhiro and Doi Takaki were on the balcony, looking at the scenery in the distance.

However, the scenery in the distance is all snow, which is not very interesting, and staring at the snow for a long time can damage your eyes.

"Mr. Kitahara, is there something you want to say to me?"

After watching the snow for nearly ten minutes, Doi Takaki couldn't hold back any longer and asked the question that had been on his mind.

At the same time, he also suspected that Kitahara Natsuhiro might already know his identity.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have summoned him to a place like this, especially by calling him over alone.

After all, a decent man wouldn't invite another man to see a landscape with only snow.

Unless this guy is a psychopath!
Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu turned around and smiled slightly: "Mr. Phantom Thief Kid, you're just asking a question you already know the answer to."

He wasn't going to continue playing guessing games with Kaito Kuroba here, and directly revealed his true identity.

Before he spoke, he had already looked around and found that there was no one else there besides the two of them.

So it's absolutely safe here, and there's no need to worry about other people finding out about Kaito Kid's identity.

Unless that brat Conan has planted a bug on Kaito Kid.

However, this possibility is extremely slim. If it were so easy for Conan to install a listening device on Kaito Kid, then he would be out of a job.

Wouldn't it be better to just turn yourself in and let your future father-in-law get the credit?

"So you knew all along!" Kaito Kuroba didn't hide anything and revealed his identity directly.

He's not the kind of man who likes to be stubborn, especially not in front of this man who looks somewhat dangerous.

Because it's easy to get beaten up.

After acknowledging his identity, Kaito Kuroba did not remove his disguise, but continued, "How did you know I was Kaito Kid?"

"They wouldn't have known from my name, would they?"

The reason he's called Doi Takuki is because if you reverse the order, it becomes Kaito Kid.

“Hmm,” Kitahara Natsuyu paused, then said something ambiguous: “I guess so.”

"What do you mean by 'consider it'?" Kaito Kuroba pouted. "If you don't explain clearly, I'm getting really anxious."

"And what if you arrest me and hand me over to the police?"

Because he was in disguise, he didn't have a paraglider on him; instead, he had placed it somewhere inside the villa.

He will prepare it in advance when needed.

Although his body was rather bulky, he still couldn't fit the entire hang glider in.

Kitahara Natsuyu leaned over, put his arm around Kuroba Kaito's shoulder, and smiled: "If I were to hand you over to the police, do you think I would meet with you alone? I would definitely call the police first."

"Look at how incompetent those police officers are, and then they arrest you with their own hands."

Upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba's lips twitched involuntarily: "What a wicked adult."

"But is it really a good idea for someone like you to be a teacher?"

Because he didn't sense any malice from Kitahara Natsuyu, he spoke much more freely.

As long as the police aren't called, everything is negotiable.

"A wicked adult?" Kitahara Natsuyu smiled suspiciously, looking Kuroba Kaito up and down.

Kaito Kuroba sensed that gaze, and after saying that last sentence, he knew he had let something slip.

After all, only children would say something like "a nasty adult." Adults generally wouldn't say "nasty adult," they would just say "nasty fellow."

hateful!

Isn't this guy a teacher? Why is he as perceptive as a detective?

Wait, a detective?
That guy named Conan looks exactly like Shinichi Kudo when he was a kid.

Moreover, she is so familiar with Ran Mouri, and even lives at Kogoro Mouri's house.

Furthermore, Shinichi Kudo has recently disappeared, while Kogoro Mouri has risen to fame. Could it be that...?
Is Conan Edogawa the same as Shinichi Kudo?

He had seen photos of Shinichi Kudo when he was a child, and had even seen him in person by chance.

Therefore, he knows what Shinichi Kudo looked like when he was a child.

After all, his father, Toichi Kuroba, and Yusaku Kudo were brothers. However, because his grandparents divorced, the two brothers were forced to separate, and their surnames were also changed.

One took the grandfather's surname, and the other took the grandmother's surname.

It was for this reason that he paid attention to Shinichi Kudo, his cousin whom he had never met, when he was a child.

Kuroba Toichi told his son about this, but Kudo Yusaku did not tell Kudo Shinichi.

Perhaps Yusaku Kudo knows he has a younger brother who is a thief, so he's ashamed to tell him.

After all, if the public knew about this, neither Shinichi Kudo nor Yusaku Kudo would be able to work as detectives anymore.

Who would believe a detective whose brother is a thief?

Therefore, this matter must absolutely not be revealed, as doing so would have a devastating impact on their detective careers!
"What are you thinking about?" Kitahara Natsuhiro.

"Ah!" Upon hearing the sound, Kaito Kuroba immediately snapped out of his daze and quickly laughed it off, saying, "It's nothing, I wasn't thinking anything!"

If his guess is correct, Shinichi Kudo might be Conan Edogawa. This is something that can't be known to anyone else, or it will cause trouble.

After all, Shinichi Kudo is a detective, so he probably offended someone, which caused his body to shrink.

Moreover, he knew very well that the world was not as simple as he had imagined.

There are also many mysterious organizations, and even magic exists, so we can't be careless.

"Really?" Kitahara Natsuyu narrowed his eyes, staring at Kuroba Kaito.

Although Kaito Kuroba didn't say it, he could tell what Kaito Kuroba was thinking from his emotions.

Another person who knows that Shinichi Kudo is Conan Edogawa.

No wonder they're cousins.

Furthermore, Kitahara Natsuhiro also learned that Kuroba Kaito had known about his cousin, Kudo Shinichi, for a long time.

Otherwise, they wouldn't look so similar; they could even achieve a level of realism by simply changing their hairstyles.

"Of course it's true!" Kaito Kuroba said defiantly.

But when he met Kitahara Natsuyu's gaze, he felt as if his thoughts had been read, just like when he met Koizumi Akako.

However, Koizumi Akako is much more difficult to deal with than Kitahara Natsuhiro, since she knows her true identity, while Kitahara Natsuhiro does not.

"Kaito, you're not honest at all!" Kitahara Natsuyu said with a smile.

Upon hearing the word "Kaito's son," Kuroba Kaito's body trembled involuntarily, and his face contorted in a grimace: "What are you talking about? What Kaito? What are you talking about?"

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

How does this guy know I'm Kaito Kuroba?

We've only just met! Kaito Kuroba broke out in a cold sweat; he couldn't believe what the consequences would be if others found out his true identity.

I'll probably spend my next life in prison, or maybe even get killed by some rich person.

The previous Phantom Thief Kid was his father, and now he has taken over his father's business. If his identity is exposed, those whose precious treasures were stolen will definitely pin the blame on their father, and then he'll be finished.

Of course, there's no need to even bring up any charges.

Because the moment he became Phantom Thief Kid, the things that the previous Phantom Thief Kid did were imposed on him.

At that moment, Kaito Kuroba regretted becoming the second Phantom Thief Kid.

But this feeling of regret only lingered in his mind for a few seconds before he banished it.

Becoming Phantom Thief Kid was his own choice, his goal being to find the murderer who killed his father.

The murderers of his father were also a mysterious organization. He didn't know much about what kind of organization it was because there was very little useful information, and he had been in the business for a long time, so those guys never bothered him.

It's so annoying.

I guess what I stole wasn't what they wanted.

"Oh?" Kitahara Natsuyu said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it."

"However, I plan to tell Nakamori Aoko about this, and then tell Nakamori Ginzo. He will investigate it himself."

Kaito Kuroba is a phantom thief with a weakness, and that weakness is Aoko Nakamori.

Because he and Nakamori Aoko were childhood friends and liked each other, but neither of them made it clear.

Both of them are a little bit arrogant, but not as much as Conan and Ran.

"Okay, I admit I am Kaito Kuroba." Kaito Kuroba shrugged helplessly. "But how did you know I was Kaito Kuroba?"

Kitahara Natsuyu said, "I also know about your father, Kuroba Toichi, who was the first Phantom Thief Kid, and your mother, Kuroba Chikage, who was the Phantom Thief Lady."

"Huh? My mom is the Phantom Thief Lady, and they even have matching names and go out on adventures together?"

"unacceptable!"

He didn't know that his mother had also been a phantom thief, because the butler hadn't mentioned it, his mother hadn't mentioned it, and his father, who had died young, had certainly not mentioned it.

And to go out and make a living, they even use matching couple usernames—that's truly despicable.

Unfortunately, I don't have anyone to go out with me. Although I have my childhood sweetheart Qingzi, her father is a policeman, so there's no way she'd go out and become a thief with me.

What a pity.

My parents are really good at having fun.

“Hmm,” Kitahara Natsuyu said, a bead of sweat forming on his forehead. “Young man, you’re focusing on the wrong thing. Besides, they didn’t go on their adventures together; they just used the same type of name.”

"And the title of Phantom Thief Kid was given to him by Yusaku Kudo."

“Oh right.” Kaito Kuroba clapped his hands and said, “I remember now, people outside are calling him number 1412, but someone said it was Kaito Kid, and then it stuck.”

Damn it, how could I forget something so important?
It must be Kitahara Natsuyu's fault, because he exposed my true identity, which is why my brain isn't working properly.

Well, that must be the case!

After hearing Kuroba Kaito's thoughts, Kitahara Natsumi glared at him before getting down to business: "What's your mom's phone number?"

"I have something I want to talk to her about!"

He called Kaito Kuroba over so he could get Chikage Kuroba's phone number, contact her, and bring her back to Japan.

In that case, he would have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Of course, this doesn't mean there's an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Because on a physical level, Kuroba Toichi is already a dead man, and a dead man who was burned away by sparks, and even his household registration has been cancelled.

Therefore, his pursuit of Kuroba Chikage was perfectly legitimate, and no one could say anything about it. Even Kuroba Toichi, who came back with him, couldn't stop it.

Unless he reveals his identity in public.

But this situation is tantamount to sending yourself to your death.

The mysterious organization that wanted to kill him back then wasn't eliminated.

What else could it be but suicide if he came out at this time?

Moreover, this organization is extremely powerful; otherwise, Toichi Kuroba wouldn't have faked his death to escape and then hide in Las Vegas, USA, to open a casino.

Of course, this was something Kuroba Toichi brought upon himself. He was originally a magician, but he insisted on seeking thrills and became a phantom thief, which led to this incident.

If he had simply stayed a magician, none of this would have happened.

So, Kuroba Toichi and Kudo Shinichi are the same kind of monsters; they both brought trouble upon themselves.

All I can say is, they're truly a family.

One offended a mysterious organization and was forced to fake his death; the other also offended a mysterious organization and was forced to shrink.

It's not a family, don't enter a family.

"Huh?" Kaito Kuroba was taken aback. "What do you want with my mom? Have you met her before? Do you know her?"

My mom went to the United States a few years ago, so maybe Kitahara Natsuhiro actually met her.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu said, "Don't meddle in the adults' affairs. Just give me his phone number; I need to contact him."

"Otherwise, I will tell Nakamori Aoko your identity."

Choose, Kaito Kuroba.

Would you choose to betray your mother, or make Nakamori Aoko angry?

Without the slightest hesitation, Kaito Kuroba recited a phone number.

Between Nakamori Aoko and his mother, Kuroba Chikage, he chose Nakamori Aoko without hesitation.

Although family ties are precious, he didn't want to lose Aoko, his childhood sweetheart.

If my mom knew, she definitely wouldn't be angry with me.

"Wow, you just blurted it out without hesitation? Is it a fake phone number?"

However, he knew it was true.

"I don't want to disappoint Aoko."

"I see. You can go now," Kitahara Natsumi said with a smile.

"But you have to promise me you won't tell Aoko, and you have to keep this secret for me."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't tell!"

After receiving assurances from Kitahara Natsuhiro, Kuroba Kaito left this time.

After Kaito Kuroba left, Natsuhiro Kitahara started sending text messages.

[Kuroba Chikage, you don't want others to know that Kuroba Kaito is actually Kaito Kid, do you?!]
