Conan: I don't do anything? If I really do it, you won't be happy.

Chapter 107 Sonoko: Don't mention Kaito Kid, I'm afraid Makoto will misunderstand.

"Oh? I wonder which lucky boy Sonoko has taken a liking to?" Sonoko's older sister, Ayako Suzuki, said through the phone.

"I remember you're carrying out your 'non-rich girl operation,' so it won't be easy if you want to bring him back!"

In response to Ayako Suzuki's concerns, Sonoko confidently declared, "Hmph, trust my judgment, Makoto will definitely be fine!"

Hearing Sonoko's words, everyone chuckled inwardly. Did they really trust Sonoko's judgment? Michiwaki Masahiko had only been brought along yesterday!
Under the gazes of Teruyuki and the others, Sonoko's face turned as red as a shrimp's head, and she called out with some embarrassment and indignation, "Ayako-neechan! What do you want from me?"

Ayako heard Sonoko's voice and laughed, "Haha! Haven't you been keeping an eye on that Phantom Thief Kid? You even told me to let you know as soon as I had any news about him."

"Remember that egg you used to play with when you were little? It's going to be exhibited at the Suzuki Foundation Museum of Art in Osaka in a week. I didn't expect Kid to announce it, and I told you as soon as I heard about it!"

"Kaito Kid? Egg? Osaka?" Conan caught these keywords and the image of that pretentious guy in a white suit instantly popped into his mind.

Before Ayako could finish speaking, Sonoko looked at Makoto Kyogoku beside her, quickly cutting ties with her past self, and said to Ayako Suzuki, "Alright, Ayako-neechan, I'm no longer that naive little girl I used to be!"

"What Phantom Thief Kid? I'm not familiar with him at all! Don't mention Phantom Thief Kid to me, I'm afraid Makoto will misunderstand."

"Huh? But just a few days ago you were telling me..." Before Ayako Suzuki could finish speaking, Sonoko hurriedly hung up the phone.

Seeing Sonoko hang up the phone, Conan immediately asked anxiously, "Sonoko-neechan, has Kid sent out another notice? Could it be that he's got his eye on some jewel?"

Sonoko shook her head and corrected Conan, "This time it's not a gemstone, it's supposedly the Easter egg of the Romanov emperor."

After thinking for a moment, Sonoko added, "But to be honest, I didn't really feel that thing was valuable. In fact, it seemed to be broken, and a piece of glass kept falling off."

"Phantom Thief... Kid? Who's that?" Just as Conan was asking Sonoko, Makoto Kyogoku looked completely bewildered.

"Huh? Makoto, you don't know Kaito Kid?" Sonoko asked in shock, her face showing disbelief.

Seeing Sonoko's expression, Makoto Kyogoku tried hard to recall, then shook his head blankly and said, "I'm sorry, I still can't remember such a celebrity. It's probably because I've been busy with various competitions, so I'm not very familiar with those celebrities."

"Because that guy isn't a celebrity at all, he's just a thief!" Conan's deep voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

But he quickly sensed that something was wrong. He looked up and noticed the surprised looks on everyone's faces. He scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, "This is Shinichi's evaluation of him!"

While Conan cleverly gets through the situation, Keisuke is also recalling the plot related to the case.

The villain is named Pu Siqinglan, an assassin codenamed "Shi Kaobing". She has a bit of poorly pronounced Chinese and calls Suzuki Sonoko "Suzuki Meatball" when she is teaching her Chinese.

Thinking of this, Hui Jie's lips curled up slightly.

Seeing the slight smile on Keisuke's face, Ai leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Should we cause some trouble for Kaito Kid?"

Huijie was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "I stopped caring about that kind of thing a long time ago!" After all, he had already opened the box for Kuroba Kaito and given him a problem he couldn't solve, which was the most painful thing for such a smart person.

On the other side, after Sonoko finished recommending Kaito Kid to Makoto Kyogoku, she said with great enthusiasm:
"Alright, even if Kidd takes some action, that's still a week away. Today, let's just enjoy our last day of swimming in the sea, like Uncle Mori did!"

"Huh? When did Dad go to the beach?" Ran exclaimed in surprise. Then she looked around and found that not only Kogoro Mouri, but Eri Kisaki had also gone to the beach at some point, but in the opposite direction from Kogoro Mouri.

"Mom? Wait for me!" Xiaolan said, and hurriedly followed.

As everyone left the hotel, Makoto Kyogoku finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only now did he have time to calm down.

Everything was going too smoothly. He had originally expected that he would at most show off his strengths to Sonoko and then become just ordinary friends.

I never expected that things would turn out so quickly, all thanks to that kid named Hui Jie!

With this in mind, Makoto Kyogoku decided to use his professional expertise to create a customized training plan for Keisuke as a way of repaying him and as a parting gift.

……

A few days later, in the morning, at Teitan High School.

"Ran, let's go see Lord Kid together in a few days!" Sonoko excitedly slapped Ran's desk and said with great enthusiasm.

Ran looked at Sonoko with surprise and asked in confusion, "But Sonoko, didn't you just say a few days ago that you were afraid Kyogoku would misunderstand? Why did you suddenly decide to go?"

"Hey, the past is the past, the present is the present!" Sonoko waved her hand with a smile, then said with resentment, "Besides, Makoto has already abandoned me to study abroad."

Ran felt a strange sense of familiarity upon hearing Sonoko's words, shook her head, and asked again, "Huh? Kyogoku is going to study abroad? Why? Didn't you two get along very well?"

Sonoko touched her chin, recalling what Makoto Kyogoku had said, and said to Ran, "Because he said that Japan no longer has any strong opponents, and he wants to challenge foreign masters."

Then, feigning disappointment, she lowered her head and glanced at Ran, saying, "So now, Sonoko is all alone again!"

Xiaolan looked at Yuanzi, who was feigning pitifulness, and nodded helplessly: "I see! Then I'll tell Dad later!"

Seeing that Ran had agreed, Sonoko beamed with joy, shook her head, and said, "Don't worry, in order to protect that Easter Egg, my dad has decided to invite Uncle Mori to join us as a special advisor! I'll come pick you up then!"

"You've arranged everything!" Xiaolan couldn't help but chuckle.

Sonoko jumped into Ran's arms and said with a grin, "Hehe, because I knew Ran wouldn't reject me!"
