The world of science is unscientific

"You're so noisy!"

Kogoro Mouri immediately shifted the blame, saying, "It's all Yusuke's fault, okay? If he hadn't suddenly done that, how would I have made that connection?"

"It's clearly you, you old drunkard, who's up to no good!"

"What!? Xiaolan, you..."

They're arguing again.

Yusuke Suzuki had nothing to say.

Ai Haibara sipped her orange juice, pretending not to hear.

Conan, who was trying to continue thinking, had no choice but to interrupt, "Uncle, I just found two scratches over there. Maybe they're the marks left by Kid when he did his aerial walk."

"Does such a thing exist?"

Kogoro Mouri composed himself and looked in the direction Conan was pointing.

Over here...

He suddenly looked up and turned his gaze to the building across the street.

Sonoko Suzuki also realized what was happening and took out her phone to contact her to check the rooftop across the street.

Sure enough, there were two similar marks over there.

"How could there be such marks?"

Ran Mouri offered her speculation: "Could it be that Kaito Kid used a wire to hook onto these two buildings? Perhaps that's how he was able to float in the air last night."

“I don’t think so,” the bumbling detective said, hands in his pockets looking incredibly cool. “Last night, when Inspector Nakamori went to that building, he said he didn’t find any wires.”

"Moreover, if he uses this method, he won't be able to walk."

One approach was rejected, and Sonoko Suzuki followed suit.

"Could this be a trace left by a machine used to project stereoscopic images?"

Kogoro Mouri rejected the idea again, saying, "It's simply impossible with current technology."

"Dad, do you know what method he used?"

Upon hearing this, the muddle-headed detective replied in a deep voice, "Of course."

Conan looked up in shock.

Is this for real?!

Is this half-baked old man thinking of some strange new tricks?

Then, Kogoro Mouri continued, "We all have this problem: once we've decided that something is absolutely impossible, even if it really exists, our preconceived notions will make us blind to it."

Seriously, old man, you actually thought of that?!

These words made Conan take the matter seriously, and he waited to see what would happen next.

Yusuke Suzuki, who was still sitting in his chair drinking iced coffee, was also a little surprised.

Has their teacher really seen through them?

Actually, Kaito Kuroba's method this time was not difficult. He simply had Grandpa Terai sneak into the helicopter formation and bring him into the scene.

Ran Mouri's line of thinking is absolutely correct.

The young man secured himself in the air with a hook first, and then retrieved the hook after the helicopter piloted by Mr. Terai reached his head and suspended him with a thin steel wire.

That completes all the work.

When Officer Nakamori arrived, he naturally couldn't find the hook that had already been retrieved.

All Mr. Terai had to do was lie through his teeth on the walkie-talkie channel, and he would insist that Kaito Kid didn't have any wires attached to him.

With the default "one of their own" giving a positive result, the idea that "Kid achieved levitation in mid-air without any external assistance" took shape in everyone's minds.

Kaito Kuroba initially remained motionless in the air, drawing almost everyone's attention.

This strong attraction to human attention minimized the presence of Terai's subtle gestures.

Magic is all about manipulating the audience's attention.

Kaito Kuroba's ability to grasp this situation is truly remarkable.

Of course, this performance also demands a high level of ability from him in other areas.

At least when he was walking in the air later, Kaito Kuroba was in complete control of his body and completed the walking posture in mid-air, and he also had to match the rhythm of the footsteps that had been recorded and played back at the beginning, so that no one would notice anything wrong.

Such control and coordination of the body is quite terrifying.

Yusuke Suzuki glanced at his teacher.

So he really is a hidden master?

However, upon hearing his daughter's question, Kogoro Mouri continued, "Well, it's like a piece of glass that's bigger than you can imagine."

"If the glass structure were placed between the two buildings, Kaito Kid could walk in the air. The reason why Inspector Nakamori didn't notice it was because he simply didn't believe that there would be a large area of ​​glass in the air."

Everyone: "..."

Of course, this group does not include Yusuke Suzuki.

He became increasingly convinced that Kogoro Mouri was a hidden mastermind.

This is a hint given to Conan, who is struggling to come up with the answer.

Yes, that must be the case!

Based on his past performances, Yusuke Suzuki could no longer accept his teacher's mediocrity!

With top-notch marksmanship and fighting skills, even without Conan, Kogoro Mouri had been a detective for over a decade.

How could someone like that be mediocre?!

But what if the muddle-headed detective wasn't muddle-headed...?

Yusuke Suzuki's heart sank.

His true identity must have been completely exposed by his own teacher long ago.

Chapter 469 Suzuki Yusuke: I did it.

Meanwhile, Kogoro Mouri was still being repeatedly questioned by Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri about the rationale behind installing the glass.

Conan was indeed inspired, and his thoughts suddenly became clear.

Downstairs, Suzuki Jirokichi—no, it should be said that Kuroba Kaito arrived at the scene right on time.

The way she made her entrance was exactly the same as last night.

Give an interview, then place an advertisement.

That's right, we're running ads.

Used to introduce this Suzuki Museum.

The old man also arranged for a large number of leaflets to be sent out to the outside world.

What else could Yusuke Suzuki say?

He could only marvel at the old man's foresight, his vision extending 20 years into the future.

"It feels a bit windy today."

Ai Haibara suddenly said this.

Yusuke Suzuki nodded. "It might rain. Shall we go inside?"

"No need, Phantom Thief Kid hasn't appeared yet. I also want to see what he looks like up close."

As she spoke, Ai Haibara leaned close to Yusuke Suzuki's ear, covering her mouth with her hand, and whispered, "Judging from Sonoko's behavior, he must be a super handsome guy, right?"

"An elegant thief who excels at creating a romantic atmosphere is very popular with girls."

Even though he knew Ai Haibara said it on purpose, Yusuke Suzuki still had to admit that he had fallen for it.

At that moment, Conan jogged away, saying he was going to find Suzuki Jirokichi.

After a long while, the long ten minutes finally came to an end.

In mid-air, the smoke bomb suddenly exploded.

Kaito Kid reappears.

Sonoko Suzuki's voice cracked from shouting.

"Judging from your reaction, it seems I don't need to be jealous of that guy anymore."

Taking the opportunity, Yusuke Suzuki winked at Ai Haibara, "Ai, your expression is a bit bland."

“There’s nothing I can do,” Ai Haibara said, tidying her wind-blown hair. “It’s because that guy has already taken over my heart.”

"Oh?"

Yusuke Suzuki subtly pushed his chair further away, continuing to flirt with Ai Haibara in public, "In other words, you're only attracted to me?"

"Yes, yes, yes," Ai Haibara nodded shyly, but her expression quickly turned strange. "Besides, if I fall in love with someone else, I always feel like you'd just kill them. That must be just my imagination, right?"

Yusuke Suzuki immediately realized that this was a little test from his wife.

I want to know if he's really the kind of guy who would disregard the law and kill someone.

However, Yusuke Suzuki did not want to lie or create a persona in this matter.

He looked directly into Ai Haibara's eyes and said earnestly, "This is not an illusion. I would do anything for you."

"If this feeling suffocates you, then get away from me as soon as possible."

"No."

Ai Haibara shook her head. "I walked right into their trap. I never intended to escape, neither in the past nor now."

"Hey! Yusuke! What are you up to, you little rascal!?"

Just then, Kogoro Mouri suddenly shouted and ran past them, "Can't you and Ai talk about what you need to do later? Didn't you notice it's raining? Come and help!"

The wind was strong on the rooftop, and the rain fell in fine threads.
