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

……

Ekota.

Terai Kinosuke's bar.

Terai Kinosuke pointed at Suzuki Jirokichi on the television and said, "Young Master Kaito, this is a trap!"

"Of course I know, but I've already replied to his message."

Kaito Kuroba was also having a bit of a headache. Suzuki Jirokichi had made such a high-profile declaration of war; he couldn't just pretend he hadn't seen it, could he?

Terai Kinosuke was somewhat worried: "The other party is an advisor to the Suzuki Group, with abundant financial resources. I wonder what kind of security they will arrange. Most importantly, Kitagawa Taki will definitely come!"

He had already heard about Kitagawa Taki from Kuroba Kaito.

Kaito Kuroba clenched his fist. "That guy, I definitely won't lose to him this time!"

"Grandpa Terai, I'm counting on you for the preliminary investigation!" Kaito Kuroba said, clasping his hands together in a gesture of supplication.

Seeing that Kaito Kuroba had made up his mind, Terai Kinosuke said nothing more.

……

Friday night.

Kitagawa Taki drove Ran and Conan to the Suzuki Museum in Shiodome.

Ai Haibara and Akemi Miyano did not go together this time.

When we arrived at the museum, it was already packed with people, including a large number of police officers and many onlookers.

Several television stations even broadcast it live.

Kitagawa Taki remarked, "Kaito Kid is quite popular, isn't he!"

Xiaolan glanced out the window twice. "With so many people, won't it be easier for him to sneak in?"

She was invited by Sonoko to watch the play.

Kitagawa Taki said, "That's true, but it's still quite difficult for him to sneak in if there's no one else in the museum."

Conan was full of confidence. Last time he kicked Kid out of the sky, and this time if Kid dared to escape with a hang glider, he would kick Kid again.

The group got out of the car and saw Yuanzi waiting outside the museum.

With the gardener leading the way, everyone entered the museum without any hindrance.

Next to a live broadcast vehicle, the group saw Jirokichi Suzuki.

A dark-skinned boy was standing next to him.

"Uncle, this is Kitagawa Taki." Sonoko introduced everyone to Suzuki Jirokichi. "This is my friend Ran, and this kid is called Conan."

"I've heard Tomoko mention you, Kitagawa. Last time, it was all thanks to you that the Suzuki family's Dark Star was saved!"

Jirokichi Suzuki smiled and warmly shook hands with Taki Kitagawa.

The boy behind him showed a slight change in expression upon hearing the name Kitagawa Taki.

Jirokichi Suzuki introduced the boy following behind him to everyone, "This boy is Heiji Hattori, the famous detective from Kansai."

Heiji Hattori originally came to Tokyo to find Taki Kitagawa, but after seeing the Phantom Thief Kid's notice, he approached Jirokichi Suzuki and offered to help him catch the Phantom Thief Kid.

"Mr. Kitagawa, I never expected to meet you here. I was planning to visit you this weekend!" Hattori Heiji said with a confident smile.

Since I've run into Kitagawa Taki here, I might as well take this opportunity to have a match with him.

Kitagawa Taki recognized Hattori Heiji long ago, and he never expected to run into him.

"I wonder what you want from me?" Kitagawa Taki asked curiously.

Hattori Heiji replied matter-of-factly, "Of course I'm here to challenge you to a duel!"

He didn't believe Kitagawa Taki was a real exorcist; he only thought that Kitagawa Taki solved cases through reasoning.

Kitagawa Taki retorted, "Then you should go find Kudo Shinichi. You're both detectives, one from Kansai and the other from Kanto, a perfect match."

Heiji Hattori shrugged and said helplessly, "Of course I've looked for Shinichi Kudo, but he's nowhere to be found. He's not at school or at home."

Conan rolled his eyes: I'm really sorry you couldn't find me.

He had heard of Hattori Heiji before, but he didn't think the other man was as famous as him.

Kitagawa Taki shook his head. "Whatever you want."

Just then, a voice came from behind them.

"You're the one who caused this disturbance, aren't you? Get your helicopters somewhere else right now. With them around, even police helicopters can't get in."

Nakamori Ginzo walked over, looking annoyed.

No wonder he's known as the expert at catching Kidd; wherever Kidd is, Nakamori Ginzo is there too.

As everyone looked up, they saw a number of helicopters circling overhead.

Jirokichi Suzuki didn't care at all: "We don't need police helicopters here. Didn't Kid say he would walk here?"

Nakamori Ginzo: "Then why did you arrange so many helicopters?"

"They were used to film my autobiographical movie."

Jirokichi Suzuki's words stunned everyone.

Then, Jirokichi Suzuki opened the door of the live broadcast vehicle, which contained dozens of small screens.

Jirokichi Suzuki explained, "In addition to the footage taken by the helicopter, there is also footage from the cameras installed in the museum."

With one hand in his pocket, Hattori Heiji said, "This way we can monitor the entire museum from here!"

Clearly, he already knew about Suzuki Jirokichi's plan.

Nakamori Ginzo pointed to the security camera footage inside the museum and said, "Hey, why isn't there a single security guard in the museum?"

Hattori Heiji laughed and said, "That's exactly what's good. That way, no matter who Kaito Kid disguises himself as to enter the museum, we can see it at a glance."

Jirokichi Suzuki said confidently, "The switches for the museum's entrances and exits can all be controlled from here. If he dares to go in, he won't be able to escape!"

Kitagawa Taki felt that Hattori Heiji and Suzuki Jirokichi had considered things quite thoroughly, but it was probably not very useful.

With Suzuki Jirokichi being so high-profile, Kuroba Kaito must have already figured out the situation here quite well.

"Kaito Kid is here!"

Conan pointed at a screen and shouted.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

Under the moonlight, Phantom Thief Kid flew by on a hang glider, even flashing a smile in the direction of the camera.

Ginzo Nakamori gritted his teeth: "Kaito Kid!"

"Whose helicopter is this footage from?"

The staff member replied, "It's aircraft number seven. It's currently over the area behind the museum."

Nakamori Ginzo rushed out in a hurry, followed closely by Hattori Heiji and Conan.

Kitagawa Taki didn't move; after all, today wasn't the day Kid had predicted.

Chapter 103 Do you understand what it feels like to have your headline stolen?

Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people below, a cloud of white smoke suddenly appeared in the sky.

When the smoke cleared, Phantom Thief Kid appeared, his hang glider already retracted.

From a distance below, Kidd looked as if he were standing in mid-air.

Kidd stood with his hands in his pockets, his white cape billowing in the wind, drawing gasps of amazement from the crowd.

Nakamori Ginzo exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible?"

Is Newton turning in his grave?

"A living person cannot defy gravity and float in the air."

Conan's gaze shifted to the top of Kid's head; there must be some kind of wire suspending Kid in the air.

But soon a helicopter shattered Conan's theory.

Under Jirokichi Suzuki's command, Unit 7 landed above Kid and shone its searchlight on him.

Inside the live broadcast van.

The pilot of Unit 7 reported, "This is Unit 7. There's nothing above Kidd's head."

Jirokichi Suzuki's face darkened: "Damn it! What method did that Kid use?"

Sonoko tugged at Kitagawa Taki's clothes and asked curiously, "Taki, how did he do that?"

"I'll go out and see."

It's impossible to see anything clearly from this surveillance footage.

But Kidd definitely can't fly. If he wanted to stay in the air, he would have to be suspended by a steel wire, or even more absurdly, he would have to step on the steel wire.

Stepping out of the live-streaming vehicle, Kitagawa Taki saw Hattori Heiji and Conan each running towards a building nearby.

Looking up, Kitagawa Taki noticed the two steel wires on Kid's head, which were connected to Unit-07 above Kid's head.

It seems there's a mole among these helicopter pilots!

Kitagawa Taki was looking at Kaito Kid, and Kaito Kid also noticed Kitagawa Taki.

Kidd's smiling face froze slightly. He wasn't sure if his method could fool Kitagawa Taki; that guy was really strange.

Kitagawa Taki noticed Kid's gaze, gave him a friendly smile, and waved to greet him.

"Ahem..." Kidd withdrew his gaze and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, on the night before I make my move, please witness the miracle I will create!"

At this moment, Heiji Hattori and Conan also ran to the rooftop, but they found no trace of steel wire. This indicates that Kid was not fixed to the two buildings with steel wire and then suspended in the air.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Kidd began to walk in mid-air, and the sound of his footsteps could even be heard.

It was like walking on an invisible wall, and the searchlights from the helicopter shining on Kidd were like spotlights on a stage.

Having seen through Kid's tactics, Kitagawa Taki returned to the live broadcast van.
