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

Chapter 106 You bring it down to me

Conan was prepared. Without that strange feeling from before, he took out a soda can and kicked it at Kaito Kuroba in mid-air.

Kaito Kuroba wasn't unprepared either. He was watching Conan from the air, and when he saw Conan use the same trick again, he steered his hang glider to the side, dodging the can.

Kaito Kuroba smiled smugly, ignored Conan, and sped away into the distance.

"hateful!"

Conan grabbed the motorcycle helmet again and kicked it out.

By the time Kaito Kuroba realized it, it was too late to escape.

Just as the helmet was about to hit Kaito Kuroba, a water arrow appeared out of nowhere, deflecting the helmet's trajectory.

Because it was nighttime and the distance was quite far, Conan only saw the helmet inexplicably turn a corner, but didn't see the water jet.

The water arrow was naturally released by Kitagawa Taki.

Faced with the choice between making Kaito Kuroba suffer a setback and making Conan suffer a setback, he chose to make Conan suffer a setback.

After glancing in the direction Kaito Kuroba had left, Taki Kitagawa quickly returned to the museum entrance, got into his car, and gave chase.

The jewel is still with Kaito Kuroba; he can't let it leave like this.

At the same time, Kitagawa Taki dialed Kuroba Kaito's number.

In the sky, Kaito Kuroba took out his phone and saw that it was Taki Kitagawa calling.

Kaito Kuroba's lips twitched. Conan hadn't seen the water arrow, but he had seen it clearly and guessed that it was Kitagawa Taki who did it.

Aside from this mysterious exorcist, no one else could have done it.

Kaito Kuroba answered the phone, "Hello."

Kitagawa Taki said succinctly, "I'm not far behind you. Bring me the gem."

This guy is really annoying!

Although Kitagawa Taki had just helped him, Kuroba Kaito was still very unhappy when he heard Kitagawa Taki's arrogant words.

Seeing that Kuroba Kaito didn't respond, Kitagawa Taki laughed and threatened, "I can protect you from your helmet, but I can also make you fall off!"

Kaito Kuroba, his face full of black lines, reluctantly said, "I understand."

He could only console himself that he had successfully taken the gem, and since it wasn't what he wanted anyway, he would have to return it in a couple of days, so giving it to Kitagawa Taki now wouldn't hurt.

"I'll wait for you by the river." After saying that, Kitagawa Taki drove towards the river.

……

The back entrance of the museum.

Heiji Hattori rubbed his eyes and looked at Conan. "Little brother, your shoes are a bit unusual!"

Because of the flashbang, he didn't see Conan kick the can, but he did see Conan kick the helmet.

Conan was still wondering why the helmet had turned when he was startled by Heiji Hattori's question.

"Haha, these are just ordinary shoes," Conan said, scratching his head with a laugh.

Heiji Hattori wasn't so easily fooled. He stared at Conan with interest: "Oh? Is that so?"

This kid had acted just like any other child before, but his deduction just now really shocked Hattori Heiji.

Moreover, his confident and composed demeanor made him seem like an adult.

There are also quirky watches and shoes.

In conclusion, this kid is definitely not simple!

"Yeah, I'm going to the restroom!"

Conan just wanted to escape as quickly as possible, so he pretended to need to pee and ran out.

Heiji Hattori watched Conan flee in a panic but did not chase after him.

He remembered that the brat's older sister was named Ran Mouri, and she was the daughter of "Sleeping Kogoro".

Hattori Heiji's lips curled up, and a bold guess formed in his mind.

Next, all he needs to do is verify it.

Just then, Nakamori Ginzo, realizing something was wrong, arrived with a large group of people.

Nakamori Ginzo glanced at the motorcycle, then looked at Hattori Heiji: "Mr. Hattori, where is Suzuki Jirokichi?"

"If you're talking about Phantom Thief Kid, he's already flown away!"

Hattori Heiji pointed to the night sky.

"Damn it!" Nakamori Ginzo roared to the sky.

He was once again completely outmaneuvered by Phantom Thief Kid.

A policeman approached and asked, "Inspector... what do we do now?"

"Retreat! What else can we do?!"

Nakamori Ginzo blamed himself for not seeing through Kaito Kid's disguise. Not only did he linger right under his nose, but he also took advantage of him.

So, everyone returned to the live broadcast van in front of the museum.

Inside the live broadcast van.

At this moment, Jirokichi Suzuki, who had just arrived at the museum in a fit of rage, was throwing a tantrum.

He kicked all the staff out, leaving only Sonoko and Ran.

On his way here, he was stopped by an old man, and then everything went black.

When he woke up, not only was the motorcycle gone, but he was also lying in the park.

Jirokichi Suzuki was furious. "I'm definitely going to hire some bodyguards from now on! That damned Phantom Thief Kid! He managed to take advantage of the situation!"

"Uncle Jirokichi, calm down. With Taki here, Kaito Kid definitely won't be able to take the jewel!"

Sonoko now has a blind trust in Kitagawa Taki, firmly believing that Kitagawa Taki will not let Kaito Kid succeed.

Suzuki Jirokichi was unsure. "Really?"

If he still had the gem, he wouldn't have lost too badly.

"It's impossible! The jewel has already been stolen by Phantom Thief Kid!"

Hattori Heiji and Nakamori Ginzo walked in.

"What?" Sonoko asked in disbelief.

Heiji Hattori said, "I saw Kaito Kid fly away with his own eyes using a hang glider."

Then, he looked at Jirokichi Suzuki and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Suzuki, I was too late this time and didn't see through his disguise sooner."

Jirokichi Suzuki sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Never mind, never mind."

Despite Heiji Hattori's explanation, Sonoko still didn't believe him and took out her phone to call Taki Kitagawa.

But then I heard a cell phone ringing outside the car.

The next moment, Kitagawa Taki opened the car door and got in.

Sonoko saw Kitagawa Taki and asked anxiously, "Taki, they said that Phantom Thief Kid stole the jewel?"

"How could that be? Mr. Suzuki and I switched the gems a long time ago. The one that Phantom Thief Kid has is fake. The real gem is with me."

Kitagawa Taki pulled the Blue Miracle from his pocket; the gem sparkled under the light.

He shifted the blame to Jirokichi Suzuki, and whether anyone believed him or not was irrelevant.

Suzuki Jirokichi was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter: "Kitagawa, well done!"

He neither confirmed nor denied Kitagawa Taki's statement.

Hattori Heiji glanced at the two of them suspiciously; he didn't quite believe Kitagawa Taki's explanation.

Sonoko took the Blue Miracle and looked at it, then exclaimed excitedly, "I knew it! Taki, you definitely wouldn't let Kaito Kid succeed!"

Chapter 107 The Sun Rises in the West

Kitagawa Exorcism Office.

"How was your day?" Ai Haibara asked, arms crossed, legs crossed, leaning back on the sofa.

Akemi Miyano sat next to her.

Kitagawa Taki changed into slippers, plopped down next to Haibara Ai, and teased, "The sun must have risen in the west, Ai, you're actually concerned about me now."

Ai Haibara moved closer to Akemi Miyano.

"My sister and I watched the live stream; I was just curious about the result."

Akemi Miyano was also curious: "Yeah, Taki-kun, that TV broadcast didn't even give a result, and the interview with Mr. Suzuki didn't say anything either. Some people say that Kaito Kid stole the jewel, while others say that he returned empty-handed."

The general public and media were kept outside the museum and were unaware of what was happening inside.

Suzuki Jirokichi was probably too embarrassed to tell the truth, so he was impersonated by Kaito Kid and had his jewel stolen, although Kitagawa Taki eventually got the jewel back.

Kitagawa Taki smiled and said, "Kaito Kid stole the jewel, but I got it back."

Akemi Miyano asked in surprise, "You're coming back?"

Kitagawa Taki casually replied, "Yeah, I called him and asked him to bring it back for me."

"You really are..." Ai Haibara was speechless.

Akemi Miyano, unaware of Kitagawa Taki's connection to Kaito Kid, asked, "Taki-kun, do you know Kaito Kid?"

Kitagawa Taki nodded, then sat up and asked with interest, "How old do you think Kaito Kid is?"

“He should be a middle-aged man, around forty years old!” Miyano Akemi said after thinking for a moment.

Ai Haibara said calmly, "In her early twenties, I guess."

She knew that if Kitagawa Taki asked that question, it definitely wouldn't be a middle-aged man like her sister had said.

Kitagawa Taki laughed loudly: "Wrong, he's still a high school student."
