Detective Conan: Becoming a Zaibatsu - Starting with Joining the Winery

In the sky.

A silver moon hung high in the sky, its pale light spilling out.

Kaito Kid is dressed in a well-fitting white suit, with a white cape fluttering behind him. He wears a retro monocle over his right eye and a white bowler hat on his head.

Elegant, composed, and noble!

Upon seeing this, Conan and Heiji Hattori broke out in a cold sweat!

no way.

Although Kaito Kid simply stood there with his hands in his pockets and a faint smile on his lips, he still gave the two of them an indescribable sense of oppression.

The other person didn't seem like a thief; rather, they seemed more like an elegant nobleman.

In the quiet night breeze, the three of them stared at each other, and even though Kaito Kid didn't say anything, he still put a lot of pressure on the other two.

next second.

Kaito Kid leaped off the platform and walked step by step to the two of them.

"He mysteriously disappeared eight years ago, but has recently reappeared."

"but……"

"Although the backlighting from the glasses, the hat, and the moonlight obscure your face, it's not very clear what you're looking at."

"But one thing is for sure: you're surprisingly young!"

Hattori Heiji spoke calmly.

Conan ignored Kaito Kid, turned around and took out a Cloud Piercing Arrow firework. A confident smile appeared on his lips, and then he took out a lighter and lit it.

And, in response to this.

Kaito Kid merely glanced at the two of them before speaking with an indifferent expression: "Hey little brothers, what are you two doing so late at night?"

"They're setting off fireworks!" Conan said with a smile.

He looked up at Kaito Kid, his tone sounding quite childlike, but his eyes were filled with the certainty of seeing his opponent.

Yes!

Kaito Kid?

He's got his eye on it!

Whoosh!

At that very moment, the cloud-piercing arrow shot into the sky and exploded into a huge firework.

Upon seeing this scene, Conan and Heiji Hattori exchanged a glance, both of their eyes revealing a sense of certainty.

Yes.

As fireworks soared into the sky, Conan's expression grew increasingly resolute: "Mr. Phantom Thief Kid, a helicopter is coming this way soon. If you don't run now, it'll be too late."

Hattori Heiji, hands in his pockets.

He felt that something was off about the scene before him.

because……

The Phantom Thief Kid in front of me is far too calm; he doesn't seem like a normal thief at all.

and so.

His eyes were fixed on Kaito Kid, and his whole body instinctively went on alert.

Kaito Kid's expression remained unchanged.

He watched as the helicopter approached, but showed no sign of running away or even fear. Instead, he stood quietly beside the two men with his hands in his pockets, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"Looks like you, little brother, and your black friend are here to arrest me!"

"A detective?"

"In that case, I'll help you!"

After saying that.

Kaito Kid immediately pulled out his walkie-talkie and began issuing orders directly from Inspector Chaki and Inspector Nakamori, instructing all officers to approach the location.

Hattori Heiji was completely bewildered!

Black friends?

This was the second time he had heard this kind of comment today, and subconsciously he felt a surge of resentment and wanted to kill the guy.

but……

Thinking of Kaito Kid's identity, he barely managed to hold back.

Conan was gritting his teeth, clearly sensing that something was wrong.

but.

Before he could say anything more, he saw Phantom Thief Kid put away his walkie-talkie: "Little brother, how was it?"

"I've helped you a lot, shouldn't you thank me?"

He remained elegant even at that moment.

He had his hands in his pockets, as if he didn't care about anyone.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Even though Inspector Chaki and Inspector Nakamori tried to regain the initiative via walkie-talkie, it must be said that a breach had already been torn open within the ranks of countless police officers.

You're saying the other person is fake?

So can you prove that you are real?

So, in the end.

Countless people still rushed towards the Beika National Hotel, especially the police officers inside the hotel, who frantically began heading towards the rooftop.

Kaito Kid in the sky remained standing in the same spot, showing no intention of leaving.

He seemed to be waiting for something.

Conan and Heiji Hattori were also feeling a chill run down their spines.

According to the usual procedure for prisoners, they should now try to escape as quickly as possible, with the two detectives chasing after them.

But what about now?

Kaito Kid, however, looked languid and showed no intention of leaving, which left the two of them momentarily bewildered.

What should I do?

Should we arrest them?

Given the other party's brazen behavior, if the two of them rushed forward, wouldn't they fall right into their trap?

So, forget it!

Whatever tricks Kaito Kid has up his sleeve, we'll just have to wait for the police to arrive.

that's it……

A few minutes later.

Ginzo Nakamori arrived with a large number of police officers, and he himself raised a pistol: "Kaito Kid, surrender."

"You're surrounded. Dark Star, give up now. I will never let you leave again."

Meanwhile, on the other side...

As the police force arrived, Phantom Thief Kid pulled out a button.

Just a gentle press.

The cape behind him instantly transformed into a hang glider. He gracefully fastened his seatbelt and looked at the crowd before him with a calm tone.

"The Dark Star?"

"Ha ha!"

"I never intended to pick it up today. Didn't I clearly state that in my initial notice?"

"June 1th!"

"Today is April Fool's Day!"

Happy April Fool's Day, everyone.

"Goodbye!"

After saying that.

A large number of small metal lumps fell from his cuffs, followed by a large amount of colored smoke that instantly obscured the view of everyone present.

Ginzo Nakamori was somewhat bewildered.

But he still spoke up: "Quick, grab it..."

Unfortunately, it's a pity.

Before he could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground, and the other police officers did the same.

Seeing this, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but speak up: "There's hypnotic gas in the smoke bomb..."

After saying that.

He collapsed to the spot!

Conan is similar.

Although he quickly realized something was wrong, he had already inhaled too much hypnotic gas, and his eyelids began to grow heavier and heavier until he finally collapsed next to Hattori Heiji.

the other side.

Kaito Kid, who was covering his nose with a handkerchief, couldn't help but smile faintly after seeing everyone faint.

then.

He quickly removed the Phantom Thief Kid costume from his own body and put it all on Hattori Heiji, then put on Hattori Heiji's costume himself.

Followed by.

He unfolded the hang glider for Heiji Hattori, secured Conan to Heiji, and then threw the two of them off the edge of the sky.

finally?

Impersonating Hattori Heiji, he immediately lay down on the ground and pretended to faint.
