My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

“I already knew that. I know everything that has happened to you.”

Kaito Kuroba felt he couldn't afford to lose face, so he spoke in a tone that suggested everything was going according to plan.

Upon hearing this, Conan's pupils contracted slightly. As expected of Kaito Kid, he didn't expect that he would even know that he had been turned into a child by his clueless subordinate who fed him drugs.

"How can you be sure that what you know wasn't something I deliberately showed to you? Forget it, arguing about this topic is destined to go on forever."

"Kaito Kuroba, I'd like to collaborate with you on something."

Conan noticed that Kaito Kuroba had changed the subject, and Kaito, without changing his expression, tacitly accepted the change of topic and asked, "What is it?"

While the two were talking, Su Qing, disguised as an employee of a company in Beika Town, looked at the computer screen in front of her and said to Pineapple beside her:

"The surveillance cameras have been installed at the school for key figures, but I haven't installed any at home, as it would be too easy to be discovered there."

Pineapple gave a thumbs-up: "Your efficiency is as high as ever, so shall we test the results now?"

Su Qing nodded and said, "This is the first test after the setup is complete. With the help of the retrieval program, we will be able to perfectly track down the main characters."

As she spoke, Su Qing controlled the mouse to launch the program, entered "Shinichi Kudo" and clicked the search button on the screen in front of her. The search program began to quickly search for traces of Shinichi Kudo.

"This program can determine the location of the person we are looking for by comparing images."

However, due to the large number of monitors installed, coupled with the limited computing power of this computer, the search process takes some time.

After explaining, the surveillance footage was retrieved, and Conan's image appeared on the screen.

Chapter 434: The Opening Ceremony Strike.

"I want to conspire with you to kill Yusaku Kudo."

Lightning strikes at the opening ceremony.

Su Qing, who had just turned on the monitor, saw Conan speaking in a cold and ruthless tone about his plan: to stage a scene of fathers parting with their sons.

"I really never thought of that."

As Conan's composure began to crumble on the screen, I thought to myself, "Wow, I never expected this! Conan, you who seem so righteous and upright, actually want to be a filial son behind the scenes."

Arthas was impressed by this move, calling it expert play.

At that moment, Kaito Kuroba, who was opposite Conan, was slightly taken aback upon hearing his words.

Is the savior of evil people really this ruthless, wanting to kill his father right off the bat?

What should I say at this moment? Truly worthy of being called the savior of evil?

Seeing Kaito Kuroba looking somewhat stunned, Conan felt a sense of unease.

Could it be that my disguise was exposed?

Conan had no intention of actually killing Yusaku Kudo; according to his principles, what he should have done was send Yusaku Kudo to prison.

Conan, who had no intention of killing anyone, pondered for a moment, guessed what the villain's savior would do, and then said this.

Meanwhile, Kaito Kuroba, sitting opposite him, casually made up an excuse to cover up his earlier lapse in concentration, seeing the silent Shinichi Kudo:

"You're not as bad as I thought. I thought you would choose to squeeze every last drop of value out of Kudo Yusaku before working him to death."

That's awful! I'm going to glare at him!

Wait, I'm the bad guy, so it's okay.

Conan's expression was somewhat awkward at this moment. He never expected that the Shinichi Kudo who created him in the past would have such a capitalist face.

In the old days, someone like Shinichi Kudo would have deserved to be hung from a street lamp.

Conan inwardly condemned Shinichi Kudo. "Well, it's Shinichi Kudo who's a capitalist. What does that have to do with me, Conan Edogawa?"

Judging from the tone of his nominal younger brother's words, it seems that he himself had done quite a few things like squeezing out every last drop of value and exhausting people to death.

While Conan desired this so much, the reincarnators in Beika Town fell silent.

"Tell me I'm dreaming right now, okay?"

Pineapple rubbed her temples, looking a bit of a headache, while Su Qing nodded with a similarly heavy expression: "I also really wanted someone to tell me this news, after all, the current situation is just too outrageous."

The idea that the plan to kill Yusaku Kudo was devised by Shinichi Kudo is a bit too far-fetched.

At this moment at school, Kaito Kuroba did not continue to discuss anything further with Conan.

Such a plan cannot be finalized in a short time; assassination is not something that can be carried out immediately just by having an idea.

Moreover, neither of them actually intended to carry out the assassination themselves. In essence, neither of these two people who look alike are the kind of people who would choose to kill under normal circumstances.

After agreeing on a time to meet again, Conan left the scene, while Xia Qing, playing the role of Miki, nodded and used the excuse of having other matters to attend to to leave as well.

On his way back to the classroom, Kaito Kuroba was still pondering what he should do next. Making a deal with Shinichi Kudo was tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin.

That guy's disguise was terrifying. During their conversation just now, Kaito Kuroba felt that the other party was like an upright detective.

Is Shinichi Kudo an upright detective?

Ha, what a joke.

How could someone who can be called the savior of villains, the Napoleon of the criminal world, possibly be an upright and good person?

Kaito Kuroba wanted to bet that if Shinichi Kudo was really a good person, he would go and eat a whole fish feast next time.

Kaito Kuroba, the Phantom Thief Kid, actually has a fatal weakness: fish.

Kaito Kuroba has always shown respect and gratitude towards fish.

After leaving Kuroba Kaito's side, Xia Qing casually picked up the phone she had taken with her earlier and browsed the latest news.

"I understand, I'll head over there now."

Looking at the message sent by someone labeled "boss" on the screen, Xia Qing thought for a moment and imitated Snake's tone.

Meanwhile, in a luxurious residence on the other side, a man who looked rather old had some doubts in his mind.

Why is Snake's way of speaking so strange lately? He used to say the same thing when he completed a mission, but his tone feels quite different from before.

Compared to the epic battle on the rooftop back then, where the other three sides were fighting like gods, the zoo is really not up to the task now.

The assassin belonging to the zoo was destined to die in that battle, and the outcome was exactly as Xia Qing had initially predicted.

The entire zoo crew that was there was wiped out in that battle. Well, only they themselves actually know that they were all wiped out.

To outsiders, Snake, who was the team leader at the time, was the only one who survived.

"Since you've come to offer me your identity, it would be a shame not to accept it."

After speaking slowly and deliberately, Xia Qing began searching the map for the address given by the zoo leader.

The address was in a rather obscure location; it wasn't a tourist attraction or any famous historical site.

As a result, there are basically no tourists who go there specifically to enjoy the scenery, and that location has been bought up by zoo organizations.

That place is like the central hub of the zoo; many decisions are made from that address.

"Let's go take a look first."

Xia Qing looked at the address in front of him and said this. At that moment, he silently switched his character card to Herrscher of the Void, Sirin.

Walking was too time-consuming, so he chose a more efficient method: directly traversing space.

The connection between spaces was established here. After Xia Qing made herself invisible, she prepared to take a good look at the organization called the Zoo.

……

"They're really lax; there's no one guarding the corridors."

A dozen minutes later, Xia Qing said somewhat speechlessly, "It seems I overestimated the zoo organization."

Most members of this organization are simply not skilled enough in their areas of expertise; the vast majority of them are merely proficient in using a particular weapon, without having thoroughly mastered its application.

Xia Qing is currently unsure whether elite assassins like Gin from the distillery actually exist within this organization, since there aren't any particularly famous assassins in the original story.

Xia Qing knocked on the door three times, then disguised herself with some kind of outfit and waited.

“I hope you can explain to me what exactly happened that time.”

At this moment, a black-haired figure sitting in a seat spoke, clearly dissatisfied with Snake's previous defeat.

Chapter 435: Kaito Kuroba: Father, I misjudged you!

The leader's double in the zoo organization was, in the end, just an ordinary human. By using the ability to manipulate thoughts to search through the other party's mind, Xia Qing also knew the identity of the real BOSS.

"Do all the bosses of mysterious organizations like to play with nested dolls... Diavolo is one, the boss of the Black Organization has a dozen or so Stands, and this one is too."

After making a comment, Xia Qing quickly created an imaginary space channel to find the real boss and have a friendly exchange.

Among the character cards I currently use, the Herrscher of the Void Sirin's character card doesn't actually follow the spatial laws commonly found in some works.

Her ability is essentially the manipulation of imaginary space. The so-called spatial teleportation is actually transferring to imaginary space and then transferring to the corresponding coordinates in the real world through imaginary space.

After completing a series of operations, Xia Qing used his consciousness to scan the members of the entire zoo organization base. After browsing their memories, Xia Qing nodded.

As expected, the distillery is not the average state of affairs for mysterious organizations in this world. Surprisingly, there isn't a single undercover agent in the zoo's base.

It's getting cold; let the zoo be destroyed.

After briefly reviewing the memories of the zoo members, Xia Qing thought to himself, "If all the zoo members were executed, there might be some innocent ones, but if nine out of ten were executed, there would definitely be some who would slip through."

……

Kaito Kuroba stared out the window, utterly bored. For him, life at school was clearly not as fun as being a phantom thief at night.

Ding dong.

As his phone rang, Kaito Kuroba picked it up to see who had sent him the message.

"An unfamiliar number."

Looking at the phone number displayed, Kuroba Kaito thought to himself, but what really concerned him was the content of the text message.

"The zoo... is that organization's code name?"

Whispering to himself in a voice only he could hear, Kaito Kuroba casually replied with a "yes".

The text message was from the secret contact who had contacted me before, inviting me to go on a nighttime zoo visit tonight.

Judging from the tone of his writing, perhaps he really does have some perfect, undetectable method.
