Conan: What's wrong with my Yan Shuangying's painting style?

It's not that I'm a child, it's not that the time is not right.

Haibara Ai was secretly dissatisfied in her heart, but she remained silent on the surface and did not intend to express any opinion on it.

She glanced at the great detective next to her, only to find that Conan Edogawa was staring at the actor who played Napoleon.

————In the preview letter interpreted by Kogoro Mori, Napoleon, as a conqueror, will take away the Sapphire Star. Could it be that Kudo Shinichi thinks that Kaito Kid disguised himself as the actor who plays Napoleon and sneaked in here?

It is undeniable that Conan does not rule out this possibility.

As the actor who played Napoleon, Fumijiro Narisawa is indeed very likely to be replaced by Kaito Kid. Although the preview letter that Uncle Maori deciphered was definitely not his original intention, he couldn't think of any other way to interpret it for the time being.

We can only assume that Kaito Kid might really like to play a puzzle game with a low threshold.

"Narizawa Fumijiro... Kaito Kid..."

The Death God Elementary School Student muttered these two terms in a low voice.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard the rough sound of the door being pushed open, which scared Conan so much that he trembled and quickly turned his head to look at the door of the dressing room, wanting to know what happened, but he saw Nakamori Ginzo and Hakuba Tan who he had seen before.

This classic combination of detectives and police officers attracted the attention of everyone on the scene.

"Mouri Kogoro! Damn it, it's you again! Don't cause me any more trouble this time! If you weren't here, I, Nakamori Ginzo, would have caught the damn Kaito Kid long ago!"

"Huh? You're talking as if the failure of the last operation is my fault! It's obviously your plan that's flawed!"

Kogoro Mori and Ginzo Nakamori were at loggerheads, neither of them giving in.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Zewenjiro just approached to try to stop the fight, but at that moment, the two men simultaneously reached out to grab Cheng Zewenjiro's face, each exerting force to pull left and right——

"Ah! What are you doing!"

Narisawa Fumijiro's face turned dark, while Mori Kogoro and Nakamori Ginzo let go with a wry smile.

I thought it was Kaito Kid in disguise. I tried so hard but couldn't tear off the human skin mask. That means Kaito Kid must not have disguised himself as Narisawa Fumijiro yet. If I want to catch Kaito Kid, I have to find a way after the show starts.

"Ahem, actually, I came to discuss the plan of capturing Kaito Kid with Brother Maori, haha."

"Come on, Mr. Chengze, Ms. Mu, you are the two leading actors of 'Josephine' and the backbone of the troupe. Since you are both here now, it's perfect. I don't need to look for anyone else. Let's discuss how to catch Kaito Kid..."

Nakamori Ginzo coughed twice, got back to the point, and spoke seriously.

Seeing this scene, Bai Ma Tan turned around and had no intention of staying.

Seeing that Hakuba Tantou had left, the others subconsciously followed suit and left the dressing room. It was not until Mouri Kogoro followed to the door and slammed it shut that the others reacted.

Hey, that's not right. Why did the topic suddenly turn to this? Aren't they nominally assistant detectives?

"Ms. Maori, please tell me, do you have a moment now?"

Hakuba Tan, who could have stayed but chose to leave, stood at the door and looked at Mao Li Ran gently.

"I have a request that I would like to get your consent."

Chapter 281: We can’t investigate everything, right? What if we find something? (3/5)

Hmm? What did you do? It's okay if your nickname is "The Second Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei Era."

How come I'm now hooking up with my childhood friend from the original Heisei era? Is there such a thing as replacing someone like that?

The eyes of the Death God Elementary School Student suddenly became sharp, and a white light flashed across the lenses.

He stared at Hakuba who was chatting up Mouri Ran, and his hand kept touching the watch on his wrist, preparing to give Hakuba an injection without opening the scope, to help the famous detective correct his theoretical concepts as a detective.

As Conan expected, Mao Lilan asked with some surprise.

"Mr. Bai Ma, is there anything you need my consent for?"

Standing next to Ran Mouri, Suzuki Sonoko shook her head secretly.

Sure enough, whenever she and Ran Mouri stand together, handsome guys will directly approach Ran Mouri to chat. Alas, I'm used to it.

At the corner, Kyogoku Makoto, disguised as a theater staff member, quietly emerged and secretly watched the situation here. Seeing that Hakuba Tan approached Maoli Ran instead of Suzuki Sonoko, the sense of crisis that had been aroused in him slowly subsided.

"Of course, I would like to ask this little friend about [Kudo Shinichi]."

"Ms. Maori, if you read the newspaper, you'll know that in the recent news, I've been called the 'Second Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei Era.' So, I'd like to learn more about this original 'Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei Era.'"

"Because Mr. Mao Li, who is serving as the temporary guardian, is in the dressing room, it is not convenient for me to ask."

"So, I'm here to ask Miss Maori's opinion. I believe that if Miss Maori agrees, then Mr. Maori will not refuse after he comes out of the dressing room."

Bai Ma Tan said gently, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

————What? They're not coming for Xiaolan, but for me?!

Edogawa Conan raised his head suddenly and looked at Hakuba Tan.

He wondered if this famous detective, who was described as quite formidable by Hattori Heiji, had already seen through his hidden identity.

However, he and Baima Tan had almost no contact at all. How did Baima Tan discover his true identity? Could it be that Baima Tan had quietly planted some spies around him?

"Settle Kudo's business? Why are you looking for this brat? Xiaolan must know more."

Suzuki Sonoko put her arm around Mouri Ran's shoulders and said with a smile.

"Kudo isn't here anyway, so why would you go so far away?"

The Shinigami elementary school student raised his head and looked at the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, who was his other childhood sweetheart.

Previously, during the Bandage Monster murder incident, Sonoko had already said that he was unreliable and asked Ran to find a backup in advance. Damn, is he bringing up the past again now? It's not like he's really not with Ran!

"No, I'd better talk to Hakuba-nii. Kudo-nii also told me about Kaito Kid."

Conan said in a hushed voice, but his eyes were fixed on Suzuki Sonoko.

Suzuki Sonoko didn't even look down at Conan, she just felt a chill, but she looked around and couldn't find the source of the gaze, so she subconsciously let go of her hand and shrank behind Mouri Ran.

"Oh, is that so... If Conan is willing, then it's fine."

Ran Mouri turned her head with some surprise and looked at Suzuki Sonoko behind her, then agreed to Hakuba Tan's request. Then she bent down, touched Conan's head, and said with a smile.

"Conan, don't cause trouble for Mr. Hakuba."

"understood!"

It’s hard to say who is causing trouble for whom.

Conan secretly complained in his heart.

Since Mouri Ran had already agreed, there was no need for Hakuba Tan to stay long. He stood up and walked towards the stairs leading to the rooftop, and Conan followed him in a trot.

Looking at Conan's back, Ayumi said with some confusion.

"It seems that Conan has a very good relationship with Kudo-nii. He has said things that Kudo-nii likes more than once."

————Of course, because he is the real Kudo Shinichi.

Haibara Ai ignored him and just took out her cell phone to check the documents she had downloaded in advance.

There is still some time before the performance starts, and the staff are still setting up the venue. They can't enter the venue early to wait for the opening of the play. They have nothing to do anyway, so they might as well take a look at the documents downloaded in advance and make up for the wasted time.

Tick, tick, tick.

Hakuba Tan and Conan climbed up the stairs, stood on the rooftop, and looked at the scenery outside.

Suddenly, Bai Ma tilted his head and said abruptly.

"I'm a little curious why your file appeared in the database three months ago. Before that, I couldn't find any information about you. I even heard that someone hacked into the database specifically to erase your flaws."

"Also, I noticed that your file appeared the day after the famous detective Kudo Shinichi disappeared."

"Excuse me, do you have anything to say about this?"

As the son of Superintendent Hakuba, he possesses more authority than many people expected. Even Hattori Heiji's authority in the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters is not as high as that of Inspector Hakuba in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Edogawa Conan, who had never actually seen Hakuba Tanju, naturally had no idea that Hakuba Tanju had such high investigative authority.

Now, Hakuba Tan was almost about to reveal the truth directly. This action made Conan's heart alarm bells ring. However, before Conan put his hand on the anesthesia watch, Hakuba Tan continued to speak.

"I don't intend to pursue the truth behind this. However, I remember that Kudo Shinichi seemed to have fought against Kaito Kidd once."

"I believe Kudo Shinichi does know something about Kaito Kid. You also said that Kudo Shinichi sent you some information about Kaito Kid. So, how about you please pass this information on to me?"

The famous detective who returned from England doesn't speak like a normal detective at all.

Conan looked at Hakuba Tan in surprise.

If he were a white horse detective, faced with such an interesting matter, he would definitely unravel the mystery and get to the bottom of it.

But Baima Tan didn't do that. What's that? Is it British?

————Yes, this is the English style.

A secretary to the Prime Minister once said, "We can't investigate everything, right? What if we find something?"

Hakuba Tan believes that if something does not cause obvious harm to society, then it is enough for him to know the answer and there is no need to reveal it, just like he knows the true identity of Kaito Kid but does not expose Kaito Kid.

It doesn’t matter whether Kudo Shinichi is Edogawa Conan or not. What matters is that Edogawa Conan can provide useful information.

As long as I can provide him with useful information, nothing else matters.

Chapter 282: Maybe Kaito Kidd will never appear again? (4/5)

"Hey, Aoko, is this Uncle Nakamori?"

Kuroba Kaito, who met up at the Nakamori family's door on time, seemed a little strange.

Given Nakamori Ginzo's personality, knowing his daughter wanted to use his car to go to the theater, he should have parked the car outside by now. Why didn't he see her? Could Nakamori Ginzo be so anxious to catch Kaito Kid that he ran away early?

Pushing the door open, Nakamori Aoko felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only explain in a low voice.

"Well... I didn't realize Dad had already gone there until I got home. Or, should we take a taxi...?"

"Okay, I have no objection."

Kuroba Kaito still had that playful look on his face.

He was not in a hurry at all, because the later he went, the lower the probability of him being mistaken for Kaito Kidd. After all, anyone with a little bit of common sense knew that Kaito Kidd used conjuring, not magic.

As for magic, even the most outstanding masters need to prepare in advance. It is impossible to get whatever you want.

The later he goes, the less time he has to prepare, and the less likely it is that Kaito Kid will take action.

————This time, it was Terai Huangzhisuke who took action. Although he asked Terai Huangzhisuke to stay at home, Terai Huangzhisuke was unable to resist and believed that he must go.
