Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 332 Conan: Phantom Thief Kid, run! I'll help you!
Bang!
"Time is up."

At the last minute, the very last second, Phantom Thief Kid arrived and landed steadily on the rooftop. He raised his head, slowly looked up at the sky, and put on a melancholy expression, shimmering in the moonlight.

He probably thinks he looks cool this way.

But for a high school student of this age, he is indeed very handsome, but that's only true for people of their age.

For other adults, it's a very shameful sight, making them want to dig out a three-bedroom apartment.

"Kaitou Kidd!"

Upon hearing the sound, Conan immediately looked towards its source and spotted Kaito Kid.

Upon seeing this figure, Conan broke out in a sweat, and an excited expression appeared on his face.

"Finally found you. This time, I won't let you escape!"

This time, he was fully prepared and would absolutely not let Kaito Kid escape.

"Little friend, what are you doing here?"

When Kaito Kid saw Conan, a smile crept onto his lips as he asked the question he already knew the answer to.

But Conan's arrival did make him very happy.

He's my cousin, after all. It's only right that he found me here; otherwise, he wouldn't deserve to be my brother.

The brilliant phantom thief Kid doesn't want his brother to be a fool.

What's more, this idiot had previously cornered him and almost got caught.

It seems that even after shrinking, Shinichi Kudo's mind is still just as sharp.

Not bad!
"Little kid?" Conan took something out of his pocket, placed it on the floor, then stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "I'm not a little kid, I'm a detective, my name is Conan Edogawa!"

He had previously clashed with Phantom Thief Kid, but back then he was Shinichi Kudo. Now that he is Conan Edogawa, it's natural to reintroduce him.

At least let the thief know who arrested him.

And this guy needs to remember this for the rest of his life!

"A detective?" Kaito Kid wasn't surprised to hear this. Instead, he jumped down and landed not far from Conan, but still put his hands in his pockets and made the same gesture as Conan.

So cool!

"Little friend, this isn't a place for playing house. It's getting late, you should head home now, or your parents will worry." Phantom Thief Kid said calmly.

Hearing this, Conan said, "You don't need to worry about that."

"But you, you'll be the one who worries your parents, or even disappoints them, because I'll arrest you and send you to prison."

"Your parents will be heartbroken then, after all, you're a thief!"

He felt that no parent would let their son or daughter become a thief.

So, Kaito Kid became a thief himself and started committing crimes.

Meanwhile, he was also observing Kaito Kid. From his current observation, Kaito Kid looked quite young, whether it was his tone of voice, his movements, or his current appearance.

However, he obtained information about Kaito Kid from Professor Agasa, who had been a thief for over a decade.

Now that more than ten years have passed, it shouldn't be possible for her to be this young.

So, this guy isn't the previous Phantom Thief Kid, but the second, or even the third, Phantom Thief Kid.

Perhaps the previous Phantom Thief Kid was this guy's father or master, and he just inherited his mantle.

However, according to the information provided by Professor Agasa, Kaito Kid is skilled at disguise, so he might be committing crimes by impersonating other people.

This is not what he really looks like, so he looks very young.

These are all just his speculations and should not be taken seriously.

Only by capturing Kaito Kid can we uncover his true identity.

And he, the elementary school detective Conan Edogawa, will catch this guy and make his Junior Detective League famous.

Sigh, why did I have to make the Junior Detective League famous?

Don't I hate this kind of childish game?
Forget it, let's catch this guy first!

"My parents will cry?" Phantom Thief Kid smiled and said, "I don't know if they will cry, but you will definitely cry later."

"I'm the best at dealing with brats like you."

His father is gone and won't cry, and as for his mother, all he can say is sorry.

He had no choice; he needed this identity to lure those guys out and avenge his father.

This is a necessary sacrifice!
Besides, he felt that the current Shinichi Kudo was a brat, a brat that he really disliked.

I wonder if Shinichi Kudo only became a child after he became a child himself?

Or perhaps, Shinichi Kudo was always like this.

Although he knew about his cousin's affairs, it was limited to his understanding of the case; he really didn't have time to pay attention to the specifics.

Instead of wasting time paying attention to Shinichi Kudo, it would be better to observe the clothes of pretty young ladies, as this would help his disguise skills.

As for Shinichi Kudo, he doesn't need much of his attention.

"bad boy?"

Upon hearing this, Conan's lips twitched involuntarily, and he said irritably, "I'm not the kind of naughty brat who causes trouble, and I'm not an ordinary kid. I'm very smart, completely different from other kids!"

Oh no, I almost let slip that I'm not a primary school student.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly and didn't say it out loud.

"Is Shinichi Kudo going to say he's not an elementary school student?" The observant Phantom Thief Kid noticed the problem in Conan's speech and thought to himself, "Seriously, this guy was trying to evade those guys' pursuit, and he's so careless!"

Although he hadn't done much research, he knew that the guys who could develop drugs that reversed aging were definitely not ordinary people.

Even after his body shrunk, Shinichi Kudo still managed to wield considerable influence in the detective world thanks to Kogoro Mouri, and yet he hasn't been discovered by those guys.

That's really strange.

Or are those guys just all show and no substance?
Forget it, this is none of my business. I have organizations to deal with, so I'll just handle my own problems.

At worst, I'll lend you a hand when you're in crisis.

But don't expect too much.

"Different? I think they're all the same!" "Forget it, it doesn't matter how it is." Kaito Kid smiled, took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket, and then coughed twice: "Hello, this is Chaki Shintaro. Kaito Kid is currently on the roof of Beika Hotel. Get someone over there quickly."

"And get the helicopter up and running, don't let this guy escape!"

"What?! This guy?!"

Conan was truly shocked to hear that Kaito Kid had changed his voice without using a voice changer, and that it sounded exactly like Chaki Shintaro's.

After all, this was the first time Conan had ever seen such an advanced technique.

I had only heard about it before, but now I've actually seen it.

It's unbelievable that Kaito Kid is really that powerful!

"But why did this guy reveal his identity and lure those guys over here?"

Conan saw the fireworks on the floor and had a guess in his mind.

"Could this guy have known I was going to use this thing to notify the police, so he called them first?"

"But does this guy really have the ability to slip away right under the noses of so many police officers?"

"Or is it that he relies on his disguise skills? Are disguise skills really that amazing?"

Conan expressed his doubts.

Just as Conan was lost in thought, Kaito Kid's performance was not yet over: "Ahem, this is Inspector Nakamori. Kaito Kid has appeared on the roof of the Beika Hotel. Colleagues nearby, please rush over there immediately and make sure to catch this Kaito Kid!"

After saying all that, Kaito Kid put away the walkie-talkie, turned to Conan, and smiled, "Conan, are you satisfied now?"

"I've already informed the police at the Metropolitan Police Department, and they all know you're here now!"

"No need to thank me, it was just a small favor." Phantom Thief Kid smiled happily.

Hearing this, Conan's face turned ugly. It was bad enough that his scheme had been discovered, but he was also ridiculed by this guy.

This severely damaged his self-esteem as a high school detective.

He couldn't stand this kind of grievance.

So, in order to make fun of his own humiliation, he must capture the Phantom Thief Kid and avenge himself!
"Kaito Kid, your only remaining reliance might be your disguise skills, but I'll catch you before the Metropolitan Police Department arrives. Surrender now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a soccer ball flew out of his belt, and at the same time, the power-enhancing shoes were ready to be used anytime, anywhere.

Bang!
With the help of his power-enhancing shoes and Conan's superb ball skills, the ball flew powerfully toward Kaito Kid, and the ball even shimmered with dazzling light.

"Power-enhancing shoes, a soccer belt?" Phantom Thief Kid remained unfazed as the soccer ball hurtled towards him, and said softly, "These are all gadgets that Professor Agasa developed for you, right?"

Then, with a quick step, he dodged Conan's soccer ball.

A keen eye and skillful movements are essential for a magician, so dodging this soccer ball was a piece of cake.

At the same time, he is also quite knowledgeable about Conan, including his relationship with Professor Agasa.

Therefore, he knew all about these items, since gathering information was extremely easy for him.

"This guy!"

After hearing Professor Agasa's name from Kaito Kid, Conan's expression turned serious, and he had a bad feeling.

This guy knows about my relationship with Professor Agasa, and he also knows that these gadgets were developed by Professor Agasa. Could it be that this guy is secretly investigating me, and he knows it very well?

Is it possible?
At this moment, Conan began to suspect that Kaito Kid was one of the guys who shrunk him.

But then I thought, that's impossible!

If Kaito Kid were in cahoots with those guys, he wouldn't be so high-profile, nor would he have actively attracted the attention of the police.

Therefore, they are not in cahoots.

But he didn't know why they knew his information.

But it's not a big problem. As long as we catch this guy before the Metropolitan Police Department officers arrive, we can get the answers out of him.

We must act quickly and decisively now.

He had already heard sirens and a lot of footsteps in the vicinity.

"Oh dear, it seems I've hit a nerve. You're not planning to do anything to me, are you? Your eyes are terrifying, they don't look like a child's." Phantom Thief Kid teased.

As Kaito Kid spoke, his expression grew increasingly grim.

Sure enough, this guy really does know something.

So, die!
Just as Conan was about to use the wristwatch-type tranquilizer gun, Kaito Kid suddenly pulled out a strangely shaped pistol from his pocket and pointed the dark muzzle at Conan.

"You only have one shot on this soccer ball, right? That won't do!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Phantom Thief Kid pulled the trigger, and a playing card shot out of the gun.

Playing cards?
Conan looked surprised and instinctively dodged to the side, but the sharp playing card still managed to cut a wound on his face, leaving a thin cut that drew blood, and he felt pain.

“Young detective, I know your information, but you know absolutely nothing about me.” Phantom Thief Kid grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth. “So you’re doomed to lose this time.”

"Looks like I'm the winner after all!"

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Kaito Kid fired several more shots, forcing Conan to run around everywhere, not daring to stay in one place at all, leaving him in a very sorry state.

Rumble.
Just then, a loud noise came from above the hotel. A police helicopter hovered overhead, and a huge beam of light shone down, enveloping Conan and Kaito Kid.

At the same time, the door on the roof was also violently opened, and a large number of police rushed in from below and immediately surrounded Phantom Thief Kid.

The leaders were none other than Inspector Nakamori and Chaki Shintaro.

"The police are here, damn it!" Conan crouched on the ground, looking sullen.

This matter must not be known to the police, otherwise...
At that moment, he actually had the idea of ​​letting Phantom Thief Kid escape.

As long as Phantom Thief Kid escapes, his secrets will not be known to more people.
"Oh, Inspector Nakamori, Inspector Chaki, you've finally arrived." Phantom Thief Kid said, "But I'm not here to take the jewel today. After all, it's April 1st, April Fool's Day, so I was just playing a prank on you out of boredom. I hope you don't mind!"

Are you kidding us?

Inspector Nakamori and the others, including Conan, were all stunned.

"Yes, but this is for you."

Bang!
A card was inserted into the floor, and then a round object fell from his body, emitting a lot of smoke and dust.

When the smoke cleared, Phantom Thief Kid disappeared!
