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

He did a lot of research for this art exhibition.

Miyatai Natsumi coldly replied, "Of course I know! Because my father was one of the experts who identified it as a fake back then!"

However, since it was acquired by Sompo Nippon Koa for a staggering 58 billion yen (in 1987), those involved naturally don't want anyone to say it's fake!

From then on, the father's reputation plummeted, and he was even accused of deliberately fabricating evidence!

“I’ve always wanted to destroy this forgery, but I never had the chance,” Natsumi Miyatai said sarcastically. “After all, who knows if what’s exhibited at the Xingya Art Museum is a forgery of a forgery?”

"Until the even more absurd second sunflower painting appeared, and you, Jirokichi Suzuki! You actually managed to inflate the price of a fake to a staggering five hundred million dollars! It's utterly laughable!"

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Phantom Thief Kid, which disrupted my plans, I would have already succeeded when I was transferring it at the auction!

Kitagawa Taki also discovered the bombs behind them.

Nakamori Ginzo asked, "You were on the plane at the time, weren't you afraid of dying?"

Miyako Natsumi said coldly, "I'd be willing to die to destroy them."

Kitagawa Taki shook his head. She's gone mad. This woman has completely lost her mind, even more so than Moriya Teiji.

"Officer Nakamori, bring two men over and take her into custody."

Anyway, Miyatai Natsumi can't die in his hands, so let's deal with her with someone else first.

……

A few minutes later.

Nakamori Ginzo, accompanied by two police officers, took Miyadai Natsumi away. This matter was not under his jurisdiction; he had already notified Inspector Megure.

Charlie asked through the earpiece, "Mr. Kitagawa, could that Kid's pre-announcement letter have been forged by Miyadai Natsumi?"

He then realized there was something wrong with the letter; if it were the real Kidd, there would definitely have been more than a response.

Kitagawa Takido: "It should be. Maybe she wanted to make the art exhibition go smoothly so that she could carry out her plan."

Ginzo Nakamori said, "The real Kid might be hiding inside the building right now, so everyone should be on high alert."

He instructed two police officers to keep an eye on Natsumi Miyadai while waiting for Inspector Megure to come and hand her over, and then returned to the art museum.

"Advisor Suzuki, I suggest we evacuate the visitors from the museum. After all, the large amount of turpentine and artificial flowers is really too dangerous!"

Suzuki Jirokichi immediately agreed and gave the order.

An announcement was made in the art museum instructing everyone to evacuate according to the staff's instructions.

A slight smile appeared on Dong Xing'er's lips. This was exactly what he wanted, saving him the trouble of taking action.

……

Fifth exhibition hall.

Kaito Kuroba and Conan have parted ways.

"Qingzi, you go first, I have something to do."

After saying that, Kaito Kuroba ran off against the flow of people.

“Kaito…” Nakamori Aoko reached out her hand, but there was no sign of Kuroba Kaito anywhere.

Chapter 376 Isn't this hothead right here?

Just as the evacuation of tourists began, Conan also found Kogoro Mouri.

He wanted to gather some information through Kogoro Mouri.

Kogoro Mouri was quite surprised to see Conan.

He grabbed Conan and lifted him up, asking in surprise, "What are you doing here, kid?"

"I'm here to visit the art exhibition," Conan explained, then quickly asked, "Uncle, why are they starting to evacuate the visitors? Has Kaito Kid appeared?"

"No, you don't need to worry about all that."

It couldn't be explained in a few words, so Kogoro Mori didn't bother to go into details.

"You should come with me and leave this place quickly, it's very dangerous here!"

Conan, however, wouldn't let go of Kogoro Mouri: "Uncle, what exactly happened?"

Conan's barrage of questions annoyed Kogoro Mouri to no end.

"I told you to get out of here right now, understand?" Kogoro Mouri brandished his fist, looking like he was about to take action if Conan kept pestering him.

Conan nodded repeatedly: "Understood, understood!"

Kogoro Mouri briefly explained the situation with Natsumi Miyadai, then waved his hand and said, "Is that alright now? Get out of here, get out of here!"

Conan was completely taken aback by this turn of events. He looked at the bright yellow fake sunflowers and realized that it was no wonder he had smelled a strange odor, though he hadn't paid it any mind before.

He smiled at Kogoro Mouri, turned and walked into the crowd, his mind racing, wondering what the fake Kid would do next.

Conan didn't come to his senses until he bumped into someone. He was about to apologize when he saw Kaito Kuroba's smug face.

"base……"

"Shh!" Kaito Kuroba made a shushing gesture; there were other people around!

He gestured with his eyes for Conan to go to a secluded corner.

Reaching a corner, Kaito Kuroba asked, "Detective, do you know what's going on here?"

Conan gave a brief explanation.

Kaito Kuroba was speechless. Why did so many people like to do evil in his name?

Conan shared his thoughts: "If I'm not mistaken, that fake Kid is most likely hiding among the people who will remain in the museum!"

Once all the tourists have left, only these people will remain inside the museum.

Kaito Kuroba nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's hold back for now and see what they do next."

Actually, he could have gone directly to his mother, but he felt a little guilty.

Although Kuroba Chikage is usually very easygoing, and sometimes doesn't even seem like a mother, often doing things to tease him, he is still quite afraid when she gets really angry.

……

the other side.

After Kaito Kuroba left, Aoko Nakamori wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by a staff member.

"Miss, please evacuate quickly!"

Nakamori Aoko explained, "But my friend just went down there."

The staff member gestured for her to go first: "It's okay, we'll clear the place out, and your friend will be brought out too. You can go upstairs and wait for him."

Left with no other option, Nakamori Aoko had to follow the staff and prepare to evacuate.

Just as she was about to board the elevator, she saw Kitagawa Taki emerge from the emergency exit.

"Mr. Kitagawa!" she exclaimed with delight, waving as she called out.

Seeing Kitagawa Taki looking in her direction, Nakamori Aoko ignored the staff member and jogged towards Kitagawa Taki.

"Aoko, didn't I tell you to just call me by my name?" Kitagawa Taki said with a smile, looking at the girl in front of him.

"Mr. Kitagawa!" A very responsible staff member also came over.

Kitagawa Taki said to him, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll take her out in a bit."

The staff member nodded and left.

Nakamori Aoko hesitated and said, "Aoko, can I call you... I can call you Kitagawa-nii-san?"

Kitagawa Taki raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "I am indeed a few years older than you, so you might as well call me Kitagawa-nii."

Then, without waiting for Nakamori Aoko's agreement, he asked directly, "Is something wrong? Aoko, why are you here alone?"

Aoko Nakamori, who was initially a little embarrassed, immediately became anxious: "Kaito, for some reason, ran down to the exhibition hall!"

Kitagawa Taki nodded: "I see. Don't worry, I'll help you look for it."

Nakamori Aoko breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Kitagawa Taki with gratitude, and murmured, "Thank you, Kitagawa... brother."

Kitagawa Taki's smile deepened, and he reached out to pat Nakamori Aoko's head. "Don't be so polite with your older brother."

"Let's go, I'll take you up first."

Nakamori Aoko blushed slightly and nodded gently.

The two walked side by side toward the elevator.

She couldn't help but ask, "What happened here? Why are we suddenly evacuating the tourists?"

Kitagawa Taki explained, "The situation is a bit complicated, and in short, there could be danger."

"Huh?" Nakamori Aoko's heart jumped again.

Kitagawa Taki comforted him, "Don't worry, nothing serious will happen."

"Have you seen Aoko's father?" Nakamori Aoko finally remembered her elderly father.

Kitagawa Taki said, "We were just together a moment ago."

The elevator quickly reached the top floor.

Kitagawa Taki pressed the elevator door button: "Aoko, you wait outside first, I will bring Kuroba out safely."

Nakamori Aoko nodded and waved goodbye to Kitagawa Taki, "Goodbye, Kitagawa-nii!"

She didn't turn around and walk out until the elevator doors closed.

She couldn't help but think that having such a handsome and capable older brother seemed pretty good.

……

A few minutes later.

All tourists were evacuated.

Of course, this excludes the two guys who are deliberately hiding.

The museum doors were also completely closed.
