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

"Ah, I remember now, your title should be Strange Kid Thief." Phantom Thief Black Crow spoke sarcastically in a calm tone.

Chapter 447 A Strange Familiarity

Kaito Kuroba stumbled and almost fell.

"It's Kaito Kid!"

“Phantom Thief… Kid.” Phantom Thief Black Crow said calmly, “Weren’t you scared into hiding by those men in black?”

Kaito Kuroba was startled and demanded, "Who exactly are you?"

Black Crow, the thief, shook his head: "It seems those guys have scared you half to death."

Kaito Kuroba fell silent, his mind racing.

The phantom thief Black Crow added, "If you can unravel my tricks, I can tell you my identity."

After saying that, he flew away like a crow in the night.

Kaito Kuroba stared intently at the figure of the phantom thief, Black Crow.

Who exactly is this person?

……

Filled with doubts, Kaito Kuroba returned home.

"Kaito!"

Black Feather Thousand Shadows' face was covered in frost.

Kaito Kuroba confessed, "Mom, I saw the Phantom Thief Crow, but he's strange. I think he looks like someone."

Kuroba Chikage was successfully swayed, asking, "Who does she resemble?"

"I'm not sure, but I'm sure I can uncover his true identity!" Kaito Kuroba's tone was resolute.

Kuroba Chikage's gaze was complicated; she had originally intended to have a proper talk with Kuroba Kaito.

But now she's thinking that perhaps it's not good to be too restrictive of Kaito Kuroba.

Seeing that Kuroba Chikage did not blame him, Kuroba Kaito breathed a sigh of relief and leisurely returned to his room.

To steal the gems without touching the display case is impossible unless the case has a hidden mechanism.

He took out a coin and absentmindedly fiddled with it.

Before long, he was shocked to find his fingers covered in black paint.

Kaito Kuroba had a sudden inspiration; he felt like he was about to grab that thread!

……

the next day.

The phantom thief Black Crow has released another announcement, stating that he will steal the real "Black Crow in the Night" tonight.

It was close to midnight.

Nakamoto Building.

Today, Nakamori Ginzo was well-prepared and wore an extra cotton overcoat.

But he still felt cold.

Is it colder on this floor tonight?

Nakamori Ginzo asked Harigenz.

"Yes, I asked the building staff to cover the walls and ceiling with coolant."

With that, Haliganzin walked up to the display case.

"Finally, let me check the gemstone one last time."

"Don't try to switch them this time." Nakamori Ginzo stared intently at Harry Genzin's movements.

"Don't worry, I won't use the same trick on the same person twice."

Harrygenzin only glanced at the gem twice before putting it back.

He said to the staff, "Okay, bring the blower in."

Two staff members left the room and quickly pushed a large fan behind the display case.

"What are they trying to do?" Nakamori Ginzo sensed something was wrong.

"We got infected yesterday because of those crow feathers," Haliganzin explained. "With the ventilation system, we don't have to worry about that."

Nakamori Ginzo's lips twitched. "Should I still lock it?"

“Of course.” Haliganzin nodded.

So, just like last night, Nakamori Ginzo squatted on the display case.

The only difference was that there was a blower behind him.

Ginzo Nakamori was overwhelmed by the hype.

As a result, he stopped feeling cold just after midnight.

"Inspector, the cooling system has stopped working!" an officer shouted, pointing to the ceiling.

The frost on the ceiling cooling unit had melted, and water began to drip down.

Nakamori Ginzo asked, "What happened? Didn't you check it beforehand?"

One officer replied, "We just checked the air vents."

Harry Genzin interjected, "Don't worry, he'll run out of tricks once he can't use the raven feathers."

As soon as he finished speaking, feathers drifted down from who-knows-where.

Driven by the strong wind from the fan, the air swirled and danced in the wind, filling the entire room in an instant.

Kaito Kuroba, disguised as a police officer, caught a feather; the feather was half white and half black.

"Inspector, the phantom thief Black Crow painted one side of his feathers white and stuck them to the ceiling. As long as the indoor temperature rises, the ice melts, and the wind blows, they will naturally fall down."

Nakamori Ginzo looked at Hari Nezu: "It must be the staff you hired to apply the coolant that did this."

No one else had a chance to get into the room.

Harry Genzin stroked his chin: "So, he even guessed that I could use the blower?"

"Turn off the air supply first, so the feathers don't fly everywhere."

Nakamori Ginzo didn't reply, but shouted to the police officer behind him.

But when the blower was turned off, Nakamori Ginzo was devastated to find that the gem had disappeared again and had been replaced with a coin once more.

"It seems we've lost completely this time." Nakamori Ginzo's mouth dropped open.

At this moment, Harriganzin spoke up: "No, after all, he didn't steal the real thing."

"You again?" Nakamori Ginzo's face lit up with joy.

"That's right!"

Harry Genzin proudly took the black gem out of his pocket.

He spread his hands.

But the gem was as black as his glove, dull and without luster.

It's obviously a fake.

"What?" Haligenzin's expression changed.

Nakamori Ginzo felt it was all over. He took the gem and asked, "What is this? It's just a hard black lump."

Just then, a police officer pointed to the floor-to-ceiling window and shouted, "Inspector, outside the window, it's the Phantom Thief Black Crow!"

When Nakamori Ginzo turned his head, he saw the phantom thief Black Crow flying by on a hang glider, holding a black gem in his hand!

"hateful!"

Nakamori Ginzo slammed the gem in his hand to the ground and roared, "Chase him! We can't let him get away!"

A group of police officers chased after Nakamori Ginzo.

Harry Genzin reached for the gem, but his other hand was faster and grabbed it first.

"Pretending to fail once, and then letting him succeed in the end, is also part of a magic show."

Kaito Kuroba couldn't help but smile; he had completely figured out the Phantom Thief Crow's tricks.

"This is how you blackened a real gemstone with a black oil-based pen; only genuine gemstones absorb ink."

What you put in the display case is just water dyed with black paint, frozen, and then made into gem-like shapes.

Of course, there's also that coin. As long as it's placed in the black ice beforehand, it can react with the IH heater on the platform, causing the black ice to melt instantly!

That's why you're wearing black gloves and there's a black cloth under the gemstones.

"Am I right? Mr. Phantom Thief Black Crow?"

Kaito Kuroba narrowed his eyes.

"I've figured out all the tricks. Now it's your turn to keep your promise, isn't it?"

"Clap clap clap!"

Haliganzin clapped.

Then, black feathers fluttered again, and the phantom thief Black Crow appeared!

Chapter 448 Black Feather Thief

Kaito Kuroba looked at the face of the phantom thief Crow, his mind in turmoil.

Although I had some suspicions, I was still utterly shocked when I actually saw it.

That face was none other than that of his father, Kuroba Toichi, who had passed away eight years ago.
