Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 92: Changed Careers to Steal People
"Hey, Kidd, I want to eat fish again."

Kaito, at home, glanced at his freshly changed dressing and spoke to Shoichi on the phone:

"Boss, I'm injured. It happened the time I went to the Mika City Hall."

"Okay, I'll calculate your work injury compensation."

"I'm not asking you for medical expenses," Kaito said, stretching his arm. "I'm injured and can't go to work."

"I'll give you double the salary," Zheng Yi said readily.

"This isn't about money." Kaito wanted to argue with Shoichi for a while longer.

"Don't make me take you to eat fish," Zheng Yi said quietly.

Kaito paused for a moment, recalling the night he was caught by Shoichi.

That night, the weather was great, the wind was a bit cool, but my feet were a bit hot, and I almost got to enjoy seafood to my heart's content.

No, it's that seafood has achieved food freedom.

Kaito touched his stomach and said, "But my chest hurts a little, and my arm isn't fully healed either."

"I just want you to show up briefly to draw the media's attention away," Zheng Yi said.

"You don't need to make a big fuss, just show up and let the reporters take a picture."

"Ok."

Kaito grinned and said, "Boss, could you slow down the frequency of your killings? If Kaito Kid appears too often, it will make the audience feel tired of seeing him."

A phantom thief must maintain an air of mystery.

However, if they appear too often, the phantom thief will lose his mystique.

"I didn't kill anyone," Zheng Yi explained quietly.

The correct approach should be to reduce Conan's actions.

I can't meet with Conan often these days, otherwise I'll have to take the blame for a lot of things Conan does.

Masakazuki said to Kaito, "I have never stopped you from investigating me. If you can find evidence that I committed murder, you won't have to keep exploiting me."

This was something that had already been agreed upon.

Kaito pursed his lips.

If I really find evidence of your murder, you'll definitely expose my identity as Phantom Thief Kid, right?

Kaito absolutely did not believe Shoichi's promise.

He is a shameless tycoon.

He picked up the newspaper on the table, glanced at it, and said to Masakazu, "That old man Suzuki Jirokichi has declared war on me again in the newspaper. I'll have a go at him."

This old man is really competitive.

Having failed to settle the score with him last time, she actually produced another gemstone and openly declared war on him in the newspaper.

If he weren't injured, Kidd would never have refused a challenge.

"No."

Zheng Yi said, "Don't give that guy any attention. Go steal my film crew's stuff and promote the movie while you're at it."

We must maximize Kidd's popularity.

"Does your crew have any gems?" Kaito asked.

"No."

"Then what should I steal?"

"think it yourself."

Kaito angrily hung up on Shoichi's phone.

capitalist bastards!

They exploit injured employees and assign them random tasks!

If I, Phantom Thief Kid, don't steal jewels, am I supposed to steal people?
snort!
"Hey, Aoko, I have something to do tomorrow and can't go to the amusement park with you. You'll have to go by yourself."

"Well, there are just things I can't refuse."

……

"Director, it's already 11 p.m., aren't you going to rest?" "No! How can you, as artists, rest?"

Hideo Nakata looked at the two military swords placed in the most conspicuous position.

If I rest now, I can rest indefinitely; those two military knives aren't just for show.

They were all members of the film crew, so they should all know the plot of this movie.

If you don't want to experience scenes from movies in real life, you can go and rest whenever you want.

Vermouth's face turned ashen; she wanted to grab a knife and chop Zheng Yi up.

Although she said she was going to make a movie, she didn't say she had to work this hard. She's almost exhausted!
When she went to Zheng Yi to discuss going on strike.

That bastard keeps bringing up Xiaolan.

He said he saw Xiaolan when he took his sister to school, and that he came across a nice coffee shop and wanted to introduce it to Xiaolan.

When the movie is released, I'll give Xiaolan a few movie tickets or something.

His words were full of threats against her.

It feels really bad to have your weaknesses exploited.

"Huh? Director, this card looks like a notice from Kaito Kid." The assistant director hurriedly approached the director with a card.

"show me."

Hideo Nakata took the card, glanced at it, looked at Vermouth strangely, and handed it to her.

"Miss Chris, it seems that Phantom Thief Kid is looking for you."

"Ok?"

Vermouth looked completely bewildered. Was Kaito Kid looking for her?

When the brilliance of the silver screen fades, when the clamor of the red carpet subsides, when the world's gaze is obscured by the fog of ignorance... at that moment, you will witness a true "miracle".

Yes, I, Phantom Thief Kid, will, at midnight tomorrow, borrow the power of the moon goddess Artemis to steal Hollywood's most precious treasure—Chris Vineyard.

Vermouth's lips twitched; she had no idea what kind of crazy thing Kaito Kid was going to do.

The rest of the crew had no idea what was wrong with Kaito Kid.

How did this jewel thief start stealing people?

The assistant director whispered to Hideo Nakata, "Director, this isn't some marketing tactic you came up with, is it?"

"Filming the movie alone has already taken up all my energy, so where would I find the time for marketing?" Hideo Nakata said.

"Midnight? That's only one hour!" someone exclaimed.

In the past, Kaito Kid's announcements would be sent at least a day in advance, but this time it was only an hour away.

He seemed a bit hasty, as if it was a spur-of-the-moment decision.

"Director, what should we do?"

“Continue filming,” Hideo Nakata said matter-of-factly.

How could we possibly stop filming someone as insignificant as Kaito Kid?

He walked up to Vermouth and said, "Miss Chris, don't worry, we will absolutely not let Phantom Thief Kid hurt you."

Vermouth gave a friendly smile.

Having just vented his anger on Zheng Yi, it wouldn't hurt to take it out on this Phantom Thief Kid who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Vermouth stretched her wrists, eagerly anticipating the arrival of Phantom Thief Kid.

at the same time.

Inside a rented room, a young reporter put on his clothes, grabbed a camera, and ran out.

Xiaochi, a reporter, just received a call from her editor-in-chief.

Kaito Kid will appear in the "Final Destination" movie crew and will even steal people.

Koike has no liking for Kaito Kid, the celebrity thief.

He's just a thief who only wastes police resources and causes public disorder. In Xiaochi's mind, this guy is no different from Zhengyi.

Koike is going to use her critical weapons to fiercely criticize this phantom thief!
