Although Conan couldn't hear what the butler was saying in the second half, he clearly heard that his identity had been exposed. Just as he was about to make a fuss, he found that he couldn't speak or move.

What terrified Conan even more was that everyone around him seemed to be frozen in time at a certain moment, completely still.

"What's going on? And who exactly is this guy?"

"I don't care what you want to do, but you'd better not set your sights on my young master, otherwise even with that person's protection, you won't be able to save yourself."

After the butler finished speaking, Conan felt that he had regained control of his body.

Looking up, the butler seemed like a completely different person, now looking at him with a kind expression.

"Little one, there are some things you shouldn't say. Go play with your sister."

Conan didn't dare to make a sound after hearing this, and just nodded obediently. Then he looked around and found that the people who had been standing still just now had returned to normal at some point, and Ran was looking at him with some anger.

"If Hyuga Gen isn't Kaito Kid, then who is he?"

After putting the terrifying scene from his mind out of his head, Conan felt that his mind was in complete chaos, and the few scattered clues were far from enough to form a complete chain of evidence.

Seeing Conan's pained expression, Hyuga Gen felt incredibly pleased. "Let's see if you dare bother me again."

Seeing that the ship had docked, Hyuga Gen, who only wanted to go back and spend time with Akiyama Rinko and Nanao Akane, didn't want to waste any more time. So he said to Akiyama Rinko:

"Arrest that thief who likes to disguise himself as someone else; I've had enough."

"I see."

After hearing this, Rinko Akiyama nodded and immediately strode towards Kaito Kid.

While pretending to lecture Conan, Kaito Kid keenly sensed that he was being watched. He turned around and saw that it was Rinko Akiyama, and his heart tightened.

"No, we have to run right now."

Kaito Kid had a gut feeling that he had been exposed; no wonder the woman had been staying not far from him.

Now they have no choice but to give up on stealing the real black star that was placed on Hyuga Gen.

Just as Phantom Thief Kid was about to make a move, he suddenly felt that it was becoming extremely difficult for him to move his body.

In his line of sight, the woman in the evening gown produced a katana from who-knows-where. Although it was not yet drawn, Phantom Thief Kid already sensed his impending fate.

"Bang!"

After knocking out Kaito Kid with her sword sheath, Akiyama Rinko retreated to Hyuga Gen's side, but the spatial power she used to imprison Kaito Kid remained firmly locked onto him.

"Sister Xiaolan!"

When Conan saw Ran suddenly knocked down by Rinko Akiyama, he immediately panicked. He rushed over and called out twice, but then realized that something was wrong with the touch and froze on the spot.

"This is?"

"Xiao Lan!"

"Call a doctor! A doctor!"

At that moment, Sonoko Suzuki also saw Ran being knocked unconscious on the ground, while Kogoro Mouri immediately called for a doctor.

Seeing that Ran was still not awake, Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but shake his arm.

"Xiao Lan, wake up!"

"Sonoko, no matter how much you shake him, he won't wake up."

At that moment, Hyuga Gen's voice, tinged with a hint of amusement, drifted over.

Sonoko Suzuki was furious on the spot. No one could stand having their best friend knocked unconscious. She then pointed at Gen Hyuga and said:

"Hyuga Gen, how dare you gloat? Ran was knocked unconscious by that stinky woman with big breasts next to you."

Rinko Akiyama, who had been expressionless, immediately opened her eyes wide after hearing Sonoko Suzuki call her a "stinky woman" (a derogatory term implying she was being treated poorly). She then yelled at Sonoko, both embarrassed and angry:

"Try saying that again? Who are you calling a stinking woman, you wretched little brat?"

After saying that, Akiyama Rinko couldn't help but draw her sword.

When Suzuki Sonoko saw Akiyama Rinko draw her katana, she realized she had said the wrong thing and immediately turned pale, stammering and unable to speak.

"How dare you!"

"What are you trying to do to Sonoko-san?!"

The moment Akiyama Rinko drew her sword, two ghostly figures suddenly appeared in front of Suzuki Sonoko, shielding her behind them and confronting Akiyama Rinko.

"Get out of my way!"

Just as tensions were rising, Tomoko Suzuki walked to the center with a frown.

"Yes, Madam!"

Sonoko's bodyguards didn't dare to refuse after hearing Suzuki Tomoko speak, and immediately retreated.

"Rinko, come back."

Seeing this, Hyuga Gen also made Akiyama Rinko retreat.

Seeing that she seemed to have caused trouble for Hyuga Gen, Akiyama Rinko felt somewhat ashamed. After sheathing her katana, she knelt on one knee in front of Hyuga Gen.

"I apologize, Hyuga-sama. I am still too immature to be provoked by a single sentence."

Hinata Gen pulled Akiyama Rinko up and whispered in her ear:

"Since you know you're not very mature, would you like me to help you become more mature tonight?"

"..."

"Tell me quickly, do you want to or not?"

Thinking of the intense pleasure she felt that day, Akiyama Rinko nodded with difficulty; she seemed to have never forgotten that feeling.

Seeing Akiyama Rinko and Hyuga Gen suddenly start whispering sweet nothings to each other, Suzuki Sonoko stomped her foot hard on the floor a few times in anger, muttering:

"You stinky guy, would it kill you to be less popular?"

Seeing Sonoko's expression, Tomoko knew perfectly well that her daughter was jealous.

"Gen's bodyguard is actually a Taimanin, just like Ayaka."

By this time, Suzuki Tomoko had also realized Akiyama Rinko's identity and knew that Hyuga Gen must have had a reason for asking her to do this. So, after the atmosphere eased, she said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Miss. I apologize on Sonoko's behalf. Her words were very rude. I will talk to her properly when we get back."

Knowing that Suzuki Tomoko cared about Hinata Gen, Akiyama Rinko waved her hands repeatedly after hearing this.

"Ms. Sonoko said that because I suddenly knocked her friend unconscious. There's actually a reason for that."

"That's right."

Just then, Hyuga Gen stepped forward, quickly walked to the unconscious Ran, glanced at everyone present, and said:

"Actually, the person lying on the ground is not the real Ran, but Kaito Kid himself."

"What?!"

"No wonder young master Hyuga sent someone to knock a girl unconscious; it turns out he realized that the girl was Kaito Kid in disguise."

Those present immediately erupted in excitement upon hearing this. Sonoko Suzuki was also somewhat surprised. Could this guy really be telling the truth? No wonder he instructed that woman to knock Ran unconscious.

Just as Ran fainted, Conan, who immediately noticed something was wrong, began to feel around Ran's face and quickly discovered something amiss.

"Look, Sonoko-neechan, isn't that Ran-neechan?"

When Sonoko Suzuki heard Conan's voice, she looked up and saw Conan remove the human skin mask from Ran's face.

It's none other than Kaito Kid!
