Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 225 Feel the pressure from the famous detective!

"So, will they be showing up today too?" Xia Chuan finally became interested, straightened his collar. If the zoo was involved, he would definitely join in too, and maybe even get involved with the winery.

Who knows what kind of chemical reaction would occur if the two black-clad organizations collided?

Qingshan once said that although the two forces had the same goal, the boss behind them was not the same person. He wanted to take this opportunity to try to find out the connection between the two organizations.

Even if it doesn't, it still adds some fun to Gin's boring life.

"They should show up today too, but I'll make a big fuss later, and then they probably won't dare to make a move."

After all, number three still has one more chance, so they're not in a rush.

There's no way to leave at sea; the Sallybeth is practically a private prison. If they dare show their faces, I'll send them all to jail!

This is why Kaito is making a big show of himself at the Beika Museum today – to disrupt the zoo's plans and drive them to the Sallybeth the day after tomorrow.

With just a little effort, I can send them to prison!

The news of the Suzuki Foundation's anniversary celebration was generally known in high society, and the agenda for the banquet was also roughly outlined. Therefore, the invited tycoons knew that the Dark Star, who had grown alongside the Suzuki Foundation, would appear on that day.

The zoo, an organization that pursues immortality, naturally has many wealthy members who must know about the Black Star's movements.

Therefore, Kaito is not worried that the other party does not know.

As long as they still want the gems, they can't afford to miss a second chance.

In fact, if those gems that might contain Pandora's stones weren't controlled by wealthy people and couldn't be bought directly with money, the zoo wouldn't waste its time stealing and robbing; it could simply use money to buy them.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Chuan decided to wait and see what happened.

As for whether or not to involve the distillery, after thinking about it, I decided to leave it at that for now.

The plot should proceed as normal. The involvement of the zoo has already deviated from the original storyline. If the brewery is also brought in, he will be overwhelmed.

After all, he had promised Suzuki Tomoko to attend the party, and if he were to bring up the distillery as well, the person who proposed the tequila would definitely have to be there; he couldn't possibly play both roles.

We can't have Kaito impersonate him, can we?
If that were to happen, the entire plot would probably fall apart.

After all, Kaito will eventually have to be replaced by Kid.

Wearing an tequila face, but revealing his true identity as Phantom Thief Kid, if Gin discovers him, Kuroba Kaito will likely become a target of the Black Organization's pursuit.

This is so jarring and completely unnecessary.

As the two were chatting, the window on the third floor of the Mori family's house across the street opened. Under their watchful eyes, the Grim Reaper Elementary School Student came downstairs just like the last time Natsukawa came home. He was acting suspiciously and furtively, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a burglar breaking and entering.

"Conan seems to have solved the mystery in your notice. Are you sure it's okay?"

"Conan is indeed not an ordinary child, but..."

Kaito looked up at the starry sky and said confidently, "If a phantom thief is a highly skilled and creative artist who steals treasures..."

So, the detective is just a nitpicker who follows the phantom thief around, at best a critic.

Besides, Conan is still just a child; he's 20,000 years away from catching me.

"They really are confident."

"Hehe, that's what my dad told me when I was very young."

"Really? Sounds like a resentful woman. Your dad wasn't being chased around by some detective, was he?"

Natsukawa felt that Kudo Yusaku and Kuroba Toichi must have clashed before, since Kudo Yusaku had investigation notes about Kaito Kid.

Conversely, Kuroba Toichi must have also investigated Kudo Yusaku, and there might really be some secret between them.

Frank could learn about this and see what the gossip is about. He's quite interested in the hidden Easter eggs in the plot, and it would be nice to hear it as a story.

"Won't we find out tonight who the real complaining woman is?"

Kaito Kid pulled down his hat brim, a smile playing on his lips, his white robes fluttering even without wind.

"Well then, that's all for tonight's chat. I'm sorry for showing up uninvited. I think I accidentally knocked over a potted plant just now. I'll have Grandpa Terai send over the same one tomorrow."

The supporting characters have already set off; it's time for the main characters to make their appearance.

"Xia Chuan-ge, remember to read tomorrow's newspaper; I'm sure it'll be a splendid story."

The triangular hang glider opened with a "whoosh".

At the same time, a strong wind suddenly blew up in Beika Town, and the hang glider was blown by the wind, flying against the wind and slowly disappearing into the vast night sky.

"Still saying you're not a magician? No one's hang glider can create such a strong wind as soon as it opens. Weather forecasts can't be this accurate."

Xia Chuan muttered a complaint and silently picked up the broken pieces of the flowerpot that had fallen to the ground.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was past midnight.

As everyone drifted off to sleep, the police officers at the Mihana Museum also began to finish their shifts.

Great, another day of wasted effort.

The officers were used to this situation. After all, it was Kaito Kid, an international thief that Inspector Nakamori had been chasing for over ten years. It was normal for him to escape. They just needed to keep a calm mindset and get their overtime pay.

Some people slept well tonight, while others felt heavy-hearted.

The person was referring to Conan. While he was excitedly deciphering the code and heading straight for the location of Phantom Thief Kid, the other party already knew about him half an hour earlier.

Moreover, this time the purpose was not to steal the jewel, so Phantom Thief Kid's actions this time were more flamboyant than usual.

Not only did he show off his skills in front of Conan by imitating the voices of Inspector Chaki Shintaro and Inspector Nakamori from the Second Investigation Division, but he also performed a magic trick of making a person disappear in front of him.

There was absolutely no room to escape from the rooftop of the Meiji Municipal Hotel.

With helicopters in the sky and plainclothes police on the ground, and no way out, the other party used a flashbang to complete a spectacular disappearance.

If a phantom thief is a highly skilled and creative artist who steals treasures, then a detective is merely a critic who nitpicks and follows in the footsteps of the phantom thief.

This was the last thing Kaito Kid said to him.

This is blatant mockery!

Clutching the notice left by Phantom Thief Kid tightly, Conan looked up at the sky, his eyes burning with rage and his heart filled with fighting spirit.

The more provocative he was, the more excited he became.

"Kaito Kid, I'll remember you. You won't be so lucky next time."

Conan uttered a harsh remark to the cold wind on the rooftop, then composed himself and turned back obediently, saying, "Um, Inspector Nakamori, could you take me home?"

Inspector Nakamori looked at the kid for about ten seconds, then finally nodded: "Okay."

"Uh"

Conan's face suddenly stiffened, realizing that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

If I remember correctly, the last time I got beaten up by Uncle Mori was because Inspector Nakamori complained about me.

I was so caught up in my own excitement that I didn't pay attention, and by the time I realized it, it was too late to regret it. I guess I can't avoid getting a beating.

Especially at this time of day, Uncle Mori should still be sleeping.

Having chatted with Sonoko Suzuki during the day, Kogoro Mouri learned about Natsukawa's reasoning and found it quite reasonable. In addition, there were many police officers at the scene today, so he didn't join in the fun.

He had also received an invitation to the Suzuki family's 60th anniversary celebration and was planning to make his move at the event.

After all, the Suzuki family's party gathers business elites from all over Japan, and even foreign friends. If they can arrest Kaito Kid on the spot, Kogoro Mouri's reputation will be instantly established throughout Japan.

You'll be bombarded with requests for deductions until your hands are sore, and you'll be counting money until your legs cramp.

Just as Kogoro Mouri and Zhou Gong were strolling in the park together, enjoying Yoko Okino's solo performance.

But I was awakened by a knock on the door.

While annoyed by Conan's actions that evening, Kogoro Mouri silently pulled out a small bamboo stick that he had been keeping for a long time.

As expected, a series of pitiful wails echoed from the Mori family home in the early hours of the morning.

No matter how old you are, being spanked is a shameful thing, but it hurts so much.

"Just as Han Xin endured the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs in ancient times, I, Conan Edogawa, suffer physical pain today. But none of this matters. What doesn't kill me will only make me stronger!"

Kaito Kid, feel the pressure from the master detective!

Conan buried his resentment deep in his heart, silently licking his wounds, waiting for April 3rd to arrive.

Ai Haibara was woken up and, still half asleep, opened the window. She saw what was happening on the second floor across the street and immediately grabbed Anya's camera to capture this precious moment.

"Even a seventeen-year-old high school student can't escape becoming a child."

Ai Haibara shuddered. What Conan is going through now, will she go through in the future?
After all, I'm living under someone else's roof, and lately I've been using playing games as an excuse to do research.

Xia Chuan had no idea that she was doing research, and if this continued, she might eventually be labeled as a bad kid.

Then they would be beaten by their parents.

The kidnapping gang and Takahashi's injuries were still fresh in his mind, and he was a little panicked.
Although it won't be that bad, I'll definitely get a lesson.

April 3rd.

Xia Chuan always felt that he had a special connection with April. In the long time he had been in Japan, he had switched between April and December at least several times.

The Sally Bess departs from Yokohama Port at 7:30 PM tonight, with its destination being Tokyo Bay. The journey will take three hours, with the first half hour spent in Japanese waters and the second half hour in international waters.

He didn't plan to bring Anya this time, mainly because Anya hadn't been very well-behaved lately, and Haibara had been putting her under intense study pressure these past two days, leaving her in a state of distress.

As the one who made the proposal, it wasn't appropriate for me to say anything at this point.

Moreover, this incident might involve the zoo. Anya is so unruly; it's too dangerous for her. She should stay home and do her homework.

He didn't even plan to bring Haibara along.

Among so many celebrities, Pisco is one of them.

After all, he's the owner of a well-known Japanese car company; it's obvious he'll definitely attend this kind of event without even being asked.
