Solving cases with Detective Conan's science? No, I'm a cultivator!

Several meters away, there were countless onlookers.

Kitagawa Taki and others were among them.

Kitagawa Taki looked at the crystal shoes; the huge purple gemstone set in the high heels looked rather strange.

Anyway, he just doesn't appreciate it.

"What exactly are you planning to do? You've just left a treasure guarded by only four people right in the middle of the road?"

As expected, the veteran actor Ginzo Nakamori was present, questioning Jirokichi Suzuki.

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri nodded and said, "Inspector Nakamori is right. This is practically telling Kaito Kid, 'Come and take it if you want.'"

Kitagawa Taki thought what the two said made a lot of sense, but Suzuki Jirokichi must have prepared a backup plan to do this, but he didn't know if he could defend against Kid.

As expected, Suzuki Jirokichi stood with his hands behind his back, looking confident, clearly not taking Nakamori Ginzo's words to heart. "If it were Inspector Nakamori, what would you do?"

Nakamori Ginzo thought seriously for a moment and said, "Of course I'll put it in a high-rise building or something that's not easy to steal..."

"You're completely wrong!" Suzuki Jirokichi pointed at Nakamori Ginzo and said, "High places are Kaito Kid's home turf, which is why you police officers fail time and time again, and he always manages to escape using a hang glider!"

Nakamori Ginzo seemed to understand Suzuki Jirokichi's intention, "Displaying it on the ground, could it be to..."

Suzuki Jirokichi laughed loudly, "That's right, I'm going to break his wings!"

"Alright, I'll have to excuse myself now. I need to make final tactical adjustments with the staff."

After saying that, Jirokichi Suzuki walked towards the live broadcast vehicle.

Upon hearing about the tactics, Nakamori Ginzo hurriedly gave chase, but tripped over an unidentified object on the ground.

……

Eight o'clock.

Phantom Thief Kid appears right on time!

He flew from high above the intersection, and when he was directly overhead, he suddenly exploded into a huge cloud of smoke.

When the smoke cleared, Phantom Thief Kid was already standing on the central display stand.

A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.

While the smoke could obstruct a person's vision, it could not block Kitagawa Taki's consciousness.

He could see it clearly: the Phantom Thief Kid in the air just now was nothing but a dummy.

Kidd simply used the smoke from the exploding dummy to attract everyone's attention, then took the opportunity to jump from the crowd onto the stage.

However, this guy's motor skills are truly extraordinary. Even though he jumped up, it looked like he was slowly falling from the sky.

The TV reporters who had been waiting nearby immediately rushed forward.

"Phantom Thief Kid, may I have a few words to say?"

The female reporter handed the microphone to Kidd.

Kidd's lips curled up as he said, "Please pass on a few words to Advisor Suzuki Jirokichi. Because the incident happened so suddenly, there wasn't enough time. I hope he can forgive my impoliteness in not being able to send a notice in advance."

Looking at Kid's arrogant face from inside the live broadcast van, Jirokichi Suzuki sneered and immediately ordered his staff to take action.

The next second, a huge, square black net rose from the ground at the intersection, seemingly to trap Kidd inside.

At the same time, several helicopters appeared in the sky.

"Uncle Jirokichi is really generous!" Sonoko exclaimed.

Kitagawa Taki nodded. Doing something like this right in the center of Ginza was indeed a grand gesture.

However, it seems to be useless.

Kidd looked around, and nothing was unexpected.

Seeing that Kid was not flustered at all, the female reporter asked again, "Kid, it seems that we are surrounded. What do you plan to do next?"

"Now that my goal has been achieved, I'll use teleportation to head back home."

As he spoke, Kidd brazenly stuffed the glass slipper into his clothes.

"Instant teleportation??"

The reporter was stunned, and so were the onlookers.

"Then let's meet again in a few seconds, on the other side of time!"

Kidd gave a mysterious smile, and another cloud of smoke exploded.

Kitagawa Taki couldn't help but laugh out loud in the crowd. He had thought this guy was going to pull some kind of trick!

It turned out that he had taken advantage of the smoke, put on a black cloak, and ran wildly through the crowd. His disheveled appearance was a stark contrast to his previous calm demeanor.

However, Kitagawa Taki did not intend to stop him, because Grandpa Suzuki had instructed him to try it himself first, and if he still couldn't do it, then Kitagawa Taki would step in.

In fact, Jirokichi Suzuki had indeed anticipated Kidd's move.

He had already installed a tracker on the glass slipper, and one of the glass slippers was even a fake.

Inside the live broadcast van.

Jirokichi Suzuki asked the staff, "Where's the tracker's signal?"

The staff member replied, "We're moving rapidly toward Third Avenue!"

"Alright, send more people to the protective network. This time, Kidd will definitely not be able to escape!"

"This is what Suzuki Jirokichi instructed."

The moment the order was given, a staff member gasped in surprise.

"Advisor... Kidd is circling around the intersection right now!"

Jirokichi Suzuki looked at the screen, where a small red dot representing the tracker signal was spinning.

"How is this possible? How can you run like that in a crowd?" Suzuki Jirokichi exclaimed incredulously.

……

crossroads.

Kidd disappeared, but his cards flew around in the air.

When people picked up the fallen cards, they discovered that the numbers "3, 2, 1" were written on them in sequence.

As the last card was picked up, a cloud of smoke exploded on the roof of a nearby building.

When the smoke cleared, Kidd was standing on the rooftop.

He announced loudly to the crowd below:

"Advisor Suzuki, I have received the precious items you have gifted me, but unfortunately one of them is a fake. If possible, please prepare the genuine item for me here tomorrow night. I would be extremely grateful."

With that, Kidd placed a crystal shoe on the ground, then opened his hang glider and flew away.

Chapter 166 Sometimes unreliable, often occasionally

Tonight, without Kitagawa Taki's interference, the operation went exceptionally smoothly, and Kuroba Kaito was in a very good mood.

Flying in the air, Kaito Kuroba couldn't help but burst into laughter.

But the next second, he couldn't laugh anymore.

A high-speed spinning soccer ball grazed Kaito Kuroba's face, knocking off his monocle and scraping his skin.

Kaito Kuroba looked down and his eyes met Conan's.

His lips twitched; he'd almost forgotten about this kid.

But it doesn't matter who comes; he's determined to have the Crimson Claw!

……

crossroads.

As Kidd left, the crowd gradually dispersed.

It has to be said that, given Kidd's popularity, he could totally debut on the spot.

No wonder this kid likes to show off so much.

"Taki, how do you think Kaito Kid managed to get to the rooftop of the building in just a few dozen seconds?" Sonoko asked.

Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, and even Conan all turned their attention to Taki Kitagawa.

Kitagawa Taki smiled. "Who knows?"

Seeing Kitagawa Taki's reaction, Sonoko's eyes lit up: "Have you discovered something?"

Kitagawa Taki shook his head and said, "Let's see tomorrow. Maybe we can let you see Kid's performance up close."

In fact, he had already seen through Kidd's magic performance, after all, he had been watching Kidd the whole time.

Xiao Lan said, "Close? We're close enough already!"

Kitagawa Taki smiled mysteriously: "Closer, even closer than tonight."

Conan looked away, still not understanding how Kid managed to appear on the high-rise building in 20 seconds.

Judging from Kitagawa Taki's confident demeanor, it seems he has already seen through Kid's methods.

"Brother Kitagawa, I think we should go guard the Crimson Claw tomorrow night. With the two of us there, Kidd definitely won't be able to escape!"

Kogoro Mouri was eager to try his hand at it.

Kitagawa Taki was taken aback; what Kogoro Mouri said actually made a lot of sense.

Kogoro Mouri is a judo expert with excellent fighting skills.

Although Kogoro Mouri is unreliable at times, often occasionally.

But with him added to the mix, if Kidd tries the same trick again as tonight, he'll definitely be doomed.

But that's impossible.

Kitagawa Taki said, "I'm afraid Grandpa Suzuki won't be happy about this. He's always wanted to catch Kid himself."

Kogoro Mouri thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense."
