Detective Conan: I, with my magical powers, am going to destroy the world!

Just then, Nakamori Aoko suddenly let go of Akaso Kaze's arm, got into a convertible jeep parked in the middle of the aisle, and started playing happily.

"You can sit in this car!"

"It also says that you can enjoy the engine sound by turning the car key."

"Don't touch it!"

Kaito Kuroba suddenly shouted.

It's too late to say it, but it's too late to say it.

Before she could finish speaking, Nakamori Aoko turned the car key.

Click.

With a bang, a handcuff popped out from a hidden compartment in the car door and cuffed Nakamori Aoko's wrists.

Immediately afterwards, a stream of smoke was emitted from the hidden nozzle behind the steering wheel, knocking Nakamori Aoko unconscious.

Seeing this, Kaito Kuroba rushed over to check on her and found that she had been drugged with sleeping gas and was unable to wake up for the time being.

At that moment, a voice echoed softly behind them.

"It's been a long time, Phantom Thief Kid."

Chi Chufeng turned his head away.

Five men dressed like members of a neon gang, each carrying a pistol, emerged from behind a pillar.

One of the men, a bald man wearing round-framed glasses and a brown suit with a bow tie, was surrounded in the middle and was clearly the leader of the group.

"Don't you remember me? I'm the art dealer, Gōtsu."

Upon seeing Akatsuka, Gojin's face broke into a smug smile.

"Phantom Thief Kid, didn't expect that, did you?"

“We haven’t seen each other for almost 18 years, but now we’ve met again here by fate.”

Gotsu's words startled Kaito Kuroba.

Something feels off.

What do you mean, 'It's been eighteen years since we last met'? Do we look that old?"

Then, Xiangjin snorted coldly and said, "Although you're different now, you've retired from crime and even become a policeman. And you've even let your daughter, who's currently fast asleep over there, inherit your identity as a phantom thief..."

Is Aoko Nakamori the Phantom Thief Kid in Chapter 523?

The information conveyed by Xiangjin's words is very rich.

It took Kaito Kuroba a while to understand.

He actually thought Nakamori Ginzo was Kaito Kid!

Aoko Nakamori is the second-generation Phantom Thief Kid.

What kind of bizarre thought process is this?!

Kaito Kuroba was at a loss for words.

Chi Chufeng had anticipated this.

He coughed lightly twice and replied calmly, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. You think my daughter and I are Phantom Thief Kid, what evidence do you have?"

A sly smile appeared on Gotsu's face. "I knew you wouldn't admit it, but actually we've been investigating you for a long time."

"The reason why Phantom Thief Kid is always able to escape from the police's tight encirclement without leaving a trace is that he is the only person who can pass the inspection without being searched."

"And this person is none other than Nakamori Aoko."

"After each theft of a jewel, Phantom Thief Kid doesn't return it to the owner, but instead gives it directly to you, the police officer. This isn't out of trust in you, but because you are the mastermind behind Phantom Thief Kid."

"You prepare an escape route for your daughter who will inherit your mantle, and then return the stolen treasures to yourself, engaging in deceitful and fraudulent activities."

"Most importantly, you have caused my company to suffer huge losses over the past 18 years."

As he spoke, Xiang Jin pulled out several photos from his pocket and threw them on the ground.

Chi Chufeng looked down and saw that they were all photos taken secretly.

The content shows Aoko Nakamori wearing white gloves, looking smug as she drops an envelope into a mailbox.

It's obvious that this is Kaito Kuroba disguised as Aoko Nakamori.

It seems that Xiangjin's reasoning logic is indeed sound, and he has some evidence, but he has completely guessed the wrong person.

He didn't even know that the original Phantom Thief Kid was Toichi Kuroba.

Based on what he just said, it can be confirmed that this Xiangjin is not a member of the animal organization.

Kaito Kuroba, standing nearby, looked on in surprise when he saw the photos on the ground.

Because he knows best where these photos came from.

These were indeed all done by him using Aoko's connections to send the jewels back to Nakamori's family.

He never expected that these important moments would be secretly filmed.

If the real Ginzo Nakamori saw these photos, he would definitely add Aoko Nakamori to the list of people whose identities he confirmed through face-scanning.

Or simply prohibit Nakamori Aoko from visiting the site.

That would mean one less convenient way to escape.

When Gotsu saw Kaito Kuroba's shocked expression, he assumed it was just a normal reaction from an ordinary high school student who had learned a shocking truth, so he started to tease him.

"Young man, you didn't expect this, did you? This is the true face of this family."

"The father and daughter are only pretending to be close to you to disguise themselves and prevent others from suspecting their other identity."

Kaito Kuroba was speechless.

What this guy said makes so much sense; he was speechless.

Kaito Kuroba never imagined that one day he would be forcibly whitewashed!

Having understood the other party's opinion of him, Kaito Kuroba had a sudden inspiration and decided to take advantage of the situation by pretending to be the victim.

He winked at Chi Chufeng and then said, "Um... this bald gentleman, I am not aware of any feud between your family and yours."

"If there's nothing else for me, I'll be going now..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kaito Kuroba turned to run away.

Of course, he absolutely dared not run away on his own, leaving Chi Chufeng behind, otherwise he would probably be beaten to death.

He wanted to transform into Kaito Kid after leaving the other person's sight.

If he appears before this group of people as the Phantom Thief Kid, he can clear the Nakamori family of suspicion and prevent them from causing trouble again.

However, just as Kaito Kuroba took a step, a gunshot pierced the lookout restaurant.

White smoke rose from Kaito Kuroba's feet, and bullets hitting the marble floor served as a warning.

A cruel smile appeared on Gojin's face as he held a pistol in his hand.

"You can't leave..."

"Although this matter has nothing to do with you, the problem lies in your close relationship with this family."

"Originally, I just sent a notice to the Metropolitan Police Department, along with a restaurant voucher and a hair clip with signal tracking capabilities, to test your reaction since Phantom Thief Kid hadn't shown up for a long time."

"I didn't expect you to fall for it so easily. Not only did you fail to see through the trap, but you also brought this unfortunate boy with you."

Akatsuka glanced sideways at Kaito Kuroba.

Just him?

Another unlucky teenager?

He's the one who started this whole thing, isn't he?

"The situation is very similar to that of 18 years ago, but unlike then, your partner isn't here."

Gotsu sneered, "That's the Lady Thief, once known as the Thousand-Faced Woman, who suddenly vanished from Paris 18 years ago."

Chapter 524 He kissed Nakamori Aoko

Chi Chufeng raised an eyebrow.

He had heard of the name before; the international thief who became popular 20 years ago, whose last crime was in Paris 18 years ago, which also happened to be the debut of the Phantom Thief Kid's father.

Judging from Gotsu's tone, he must have had a grudge against the Phantom Thief Lady.

In that case.

Chi Chufeng lowered his head slightly, a mysterious smile appearing on his lips.

"Hmph, of course I know this is a trap."

"All I've done is to lure you out."

"what?"
