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

Chapter 127 Kidd's Performance

Upon returning to Tokyo, in order to adjust their mood after experiencing the "Scholes" case, everyone except the secretary from the Russian embassy decided to rest for a while and then go to find the second Egg of Memory after they had adjusted their mood.

Listening to the rain outside the window and looking at Ran sitting silently by the window, Conan recalled Ran's excited expression when she shot him with a bullet. He sighed, "In the end, I can't hide it anymore?"
"Sister Xiaolan, I..."

"Shinichi?" Ran's eyes suddenly lit up as she looked out the window after Conan spoke.

Hearing Ran's incredulous yet slightly surprised tone, Conan sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Ran..."

Before Conan could finish speaking, Ran stood up in surprise and pointed to Shinichi Kudo downstairs: "Conan, it's Shinichi, he's alright!"

"Huh?" Conan's carefully constructed emotions were instantly shattered. He jumped up and leaned against the window, staring incredulously at Shinichi Kudo getting soaked in the rain below.

"Yo!" Shinichi Kudo waved to Ran and Conan at the agency, revealing a knowing smile.

Seeing his unreliable personality and natural movements, Ran breathed a sigh of relief. After Shinichi Kudo went upstairs, she rushed over immediately, nervously observing Shinichi Kudo in front of her, especially carefully examining whether there were any scars on his forehead.

Conan looked at Shinichi Kudo, who was looking impatient in front of Ran, and breathed a sigh of relief. He had already guessed that the person in front of him was Kaito Kid.

Although I don't know why Kidd would help me hide my identity, this is truly the best ending.

Suddenly, Ran stared at Kid, who was completely unharmed and seemed to have thought of something. She slowly reached out her hand to his face and pulled hard.

Seeing this, Conan's heart sank. He subconsciously thought that Kid's disguise was about to be exposed. Just as he was about to step forward to interrupt Ran, he found that Ran had not "torn off the mask".

Kidd slapped Xiaolan's hand away, rubbed his face, rolled his eyes, and scolded her angrily, "You stupid woman, what are you doing! I heard you were involved in a case, and I finally managed to find some time to come see you!"

"Thank goodness! That's great!" Ran said happily, seeing that Kid's behavior was exactly as she remembered. "Sorry! I thought you were Phantom Thief Kid, and I almost got..."

Kidd's heart tightened, and he quickly interrupted Ran. Otherwise, if the little detective found out that his real appearance was almost identical to his adult self, he would be exposed in real life. So he put his hands in his pockets, put on an impatient look, and said:

"Alright, now that I see you're alright, I'll be going now. After all, I still have a lot of cases to handle, and I'm very busy!"

Upon hearing Kidd's words, Xiaolan hurriedly ran upstairs, saying, "Wait a minute, it's still raining outside. At least change your clothes and take an umbrella before you go!"

Watching Ran's retreating figure as she went upstairs, Kid breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he had previously gone to the scientist named Agasa and specially ordered a fake blood pack to make himself look like he had been hit.

He then glanced out the window, smiled, and walked downstairs.

"Wait a minute!" Conan chased after Kid downstairs, looking at Kid covered in pigeons, and questioned, "Why did you help me? What's your purpose?!" "Is this how a famous detective treats his benefactor?" Kid turned around, glanced at Conan, and said slowly with a smirk, "Never mind, someone has already paid your reward anyway."

Having said that, upon hearing Xiaolan about to come downstairs, Kidd snapped his fingers, and the pigeons on his body scattered. Kidd himself also disappeared from the spot.

"Huh? Shinichi's gone again!" Ran, holding a clean coat and umbrella, looked down at Conan, who was the only one left, and showed a disappointed expression.

Then, after looking around, he could only turn his gaze to Conan, put his hands on his hips, and questioned, "Seriously, Conan, why didn't you keep him here!"

"Haha, because Shinichi said he had something important to say!" Conan scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly.

……

At the corner of the detective agency, a man in a black cloak watched them go upstairs.

Suddenly, a distinct synthesized voice came from behind him: "As expected of Phantom Thief Kid, your acting skills are truly superb!"

Upon hearing this, Kidd, cloaked in black, glanced at the two black figures beside him, closed his eyes, sneered, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Alright, the job's done. Where's my reward?"

"Hmph, come with me!" He then led Kidd toward a car parked not far away.

"Hey you two, can you stop making it sound like we're doing something illegal?" Ai Haibara interrupted their performance, feeling embarrassed and unable to join in, as she watched Keisuke suddenly get into character and Kid playing along with him.

It's one thing for Huijie to occasionally feel like doing something on a whim, after all, she's gotten used to it over time, but why is Kaito acting so childish!
"Sorry, sorry." Kid offered a half-hearted apology, then looked at Ai, bowed very politely, and said with a grin, "The point is, the atmosphere is already this good, if I don't continue the performance, wouldn't that disappoint the fans?"

"Heh," Ai glanced at Kid and said coldly, "If your fans knew that the famous Phantom Thief Kid disappeared by quickly leaving the scene while wearing a black cloak, they would be very disappointed!"

"Looks like I've spoiled this young lady's fun!" Kid walked up to Professor Agasa's car, took the pigeon from him, and shook his head, saying, "As an apology, I'll teach you a performance technique. If this young lady is ever too embarrassed, she can always use the voice of another enemy to speak!"

After saying that, a cloud of smoke burst from the ground, and Kidd disappeared completely.

Seeing Kid perform the disappearance magic trick, Ai rolled her eyes and didn't delve into it. She thought to herself: Do you really think everyone is like them, able to change their voice anytime, anywhere, or carry a voice changer?

However, Ai didn't say much, but secretly decided that she would bring Professor Agasa's strange gadgets with her when she went out in the future. After all, she was with Kosuke, and who knew when she might need them.

"Gone...gone?" Professor Agasa, seeing this for the first time, looked around in surprise. After searching unsuccessfully, he asked Ai Haibara, "Ai, have you found that phantom thief? He just vanished in an instant!"
