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

————Is it finally time to meet my father whom I haven’t seen for a long time?

he thought.

Chapter 384 Does He Really Look Like This?

At Hakodate Pier, a ferry is slowly approaching from afar and will soon dock at the port.

The sun, which had just risen, cast some light on the ferry and the port. However, the most eye-catching thing was not the approaching ferry, but another ferry that looked very old.

That was the ferry that the Death Merchant had called from Southeast Asia to take them back, but because the Death Merchant's deputy was defeated at Hakodate Airport, the ferry was not used.

Because the Death Merchant planned to resolve the matter of the Axe River Secret Treasure today, he would go directly back to Southeast Asia to continue his business.

Therefore, the ferry will stay at Hakodate Port for one more day.

"Is there another ferry docked at the pier? No, that's not right. This should be a cargo ship. Strange, why is the cargo ship docked here?"

Standing at the front deck of the ferry about to enter the port, Hattori Heiji looked at the weathered cargo ship, a look of surprise and suspicion emerging in his heart, and some vague guesses.

According to what Kudo Shinichi described to him last night, a group of foreign armed thugs were suspected to have come to the Hakodate area.

This freighter might be here to pick up those armed thugs leaving the Hakodate area————

But this is just his guess.

Hattori Heiji did not keep his gaze on the battered freighter for too long. No matter what the condition of the freighter was, it was still safely docked in the port.

That means the Hakodate Port Police Station did not find any problems on this freighter, otherwise the ferry would have been blocked and detained long ago.

Kuroba Kaito, who was standing next to Hattori Heiji, also noticed the freighter, but he knew more information than Hattori Heiji.

Therefore, he could conclude that this cargo ship was transferred by the Death Merchants from Southeast Asia to transport the Axe River secret treasure.

Before leaving the port, Kuroba Kaito planned to go on the freighter to take a look and leave some things behind in case of any future trouble.

————A magician doesn’t perform without preparation. No matter which Kaito Kidd comes to the freighter next, he needs to prepare in advance.

In that case, it’s okay for him to come and prepare.

However, before that, what Kuroba Kaito needs to consider is how to get rid of the Kansai detective next to him who looks like a psoriasis.

This guy probably recognized his identity, but for some reason he didn't reveal it and kept pestering him, not letting him go alone.

What exactly is the plan?

The second generation Kaito Kidd sighed.

He still has a lot of things to do next, and has no plans to play the detective and phantom thief game with Hattori Heiji for the time being.

When the ferry docked, he would find an opportunity, use the crowd around him, throw Hattori Heiji away, and then go find his father who was hiding in the crowd——

"Hey, Kudo, we're almost there!"

Hattori Heiji casually put his arm around Kuroba Kaito's shoulders and pointed at the pier.

This kind of Kansai-style enthusiasm made Kuroba Kaito a little uncomfortable. He responded with a wry smile, but secretly complained in his heart:

This guy must have recognized his true identity and was deliberately disgusting him and not letting him leave.

He would never believe that Bu Heiji and Kudo Shinichi also get along in this way, even if he was beaten to death. Kudo Shinichi doesn't look like someone who can play with such a person.

Woo————

The ferry signaled it was about to dock.

Passengers in each room also came out of their rooms one after another with their luggage, preparing to disembark, while the crew members who had been in charge approached the two with Hattori Heiji's luggage.

————This was arranged in advance by Hattori Heiji. He couldn't let Kaito Kidd out of his sight.

In addition to delivering Hattori Heiji's luggage as requested by Hattori Heiji, the crew member also asked Kuroba Kaito with concern whether he should find the police officers of Hakodate Port Police Station to explain the situation.

This enthusiasm that belongs to Hokkaido once again made Kuroba Kaito refuse it with a bit of a laugh and a cry.

Kudo Shinichi is not in Hokkaido at all. If the police officer from Hakodate Port Police Station called Kudo Shinichi's guardian to inquire about the situation, wouldn't he be exposed directly?

call out----

The ferry had already entered the Hakodate dock and had knocked down one side of the deck.

Many passengers began to leave through the exit, and Hattori Heiji, with one arm around Kudo Shinichi and the other holding a suitcase, walked towards the ferry exit and said with a smile.

"Kudo, come on, let's have a competition this time. Between you and me, who can find out the truth about the series of events in Hakodate first?"

Investigation? What are you investigating? I already know all the truths you want to know.

Kuroba Kaito was just complaining in his heart when he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

————How did Hattori Heiji know about the events in Hakodate?

Hattori Heiji did not bring a laptop with him. Even if he had put it in his luggage and someone took it out and used it when he was not paying attention, there was no internet on the ferry. How could the other party know about the series of events that happened in Hakodate?

Unless someone specifically sent a message on their cell phone to inform Hattori Heiji of all the circumstances.

"No, no way... Is it really such a coincidence?"

Kuroba Kaito whispered in his heart.

Could it be that Kudo Shinichi is really in Hakodate, and that Hattori Heiji was calling someone to confirm the real Kudo Shinichi's situation? I've heard Hattori Heiji talk about that flight before...

If Kudo Shinichi was really on the flight, he should have just finished the investigation and left the Hakodate Police Headquarters at this time. How did Kudo Shinichi know about the series of events that happened in Hakodate?

Damn it, there's something wrong with this situation out of 90%... What on earth went wrong?

The two of them left the ferry along the exit and entered the dock. Kuroba Kaito quietly took out two flash smoke bombs that he often used from his sleeves. He waited until the crowd around him became a little dense, then he threw the flash smoke bombs and evacuated directly.

However, the actions of Kuroba Kaito and Hattori Heiji.

All of them fell into the sight of the Death God Elementary School Student.

The real Kudo Shinichi stared at Kuroba Kaito's face for a long time before he had to admit it.

This guy's disguise skills are really superb. There is no trace of any ineffective disguise on this face. It is as if it was born with him. It is really the same face as him————

Kaito Kidd's disguise skills have actually improved to this level?

Damn it, Hakid, you bastard...

He placed his fingers on the frame of his plain glasses and pressed a button. Suddenly, many sci-fi numerical screens appeared on one side of his glasses, instantly locking onto the flash smoke bomb in Kuroba Kaito's hand.

So, he sneered and prepared to give Kaito Kidd a hard time.

Chapter 385 An increasingly magical world

The crowd around gradually gathered.

Kuroba Kaito was delighted and really planned to drop the flash smoke bomb in his hand, use Kaito Kid's most iconic one-second changing technique, blend into the crowd coming and going in the port, and completely get rid of this troublesome detective.

However, Hattori Heiji also noticed something. His fingers fell on the zipper of the suitcase and slightly opened it.

If Kuroba Kaito's vision hadn't been blocked by Hattori Heiji's body, he would have been able to clearly see a long, handle-shaped tool placed diagonally in the suitcase.

Typically, this tool is called a wooden sword.

With Hattori Heiji's fighting power, if he uses a wooden sword, he can chop Kaito Kid into heroic pieces with at most three strikes when Kaito Kid is completely unprepared, and directly deal with this troublesome Kaito.

However, Kuroba Kaito obviously did not realize this.

In his opinion, Hattori Heiji and Kudo Shinichi are the same, the kind of weak detectives who would be knocked unconscious on the spot by a club. They have no fighting ability at all and cannot stop him at all.

However, Kuroba Kaito, the second generation Kaito Kid, did not notice.

However, Kuroba Toichi, the first generation Kaito Kid, had already noticed that the handle of the wooden sword was slightly exposed in Hattori Heiji's suitcase, and his eyes turned to Hattori Heiji's face.

————This face is very similar to Kuroba Kaito, but because of the skin color, it looks very different.

This is the famous detective Hattori Heiji from Kansai that Kaito mentioned in his message on the ferry.

Before Kuroba Toichi came to pick up Kuroba Kaito, he went to the Internet cafe in advance to learn about Hattori Heiji on the forum. He unexpectedly discovered that this famous detective seemed to be more impressive in kendo than in his main job as a detective.

Having won the high school kendo championship and runner-up awards multiple times, you should definitely not treat it as an ordinary high school student.

Now Kaito seems to have not realized the threat posed by Hattori Heiji at such a close distance. If Hattori Heiji attacks at this time, Kaito will probably suffer a great loss. Fortunately, he came this time.

Hei Yu Daoyi lowered the brim of his hat slightly.

He is still wearing a police officer's uniform, but this time the police officer's badge has been replaced with the Hong Kong Police Department's badge, disguising himself as a patrol evacuee from the Hong Kong Police Department.

Originally, I planned to use this identity to conduct a brief investigation on the cargo ship of the Death Merchant.

But now it would be a good idea to use it to get close to Hattori Heiji, entangle Hattori Heiji, and create a chance for Kaito to escape - after all, a prepared magician can appear on the freighter in any identity, right?

The first generation Kaito Kidd put his hand into his pocket.

Just when the distance between the three parties reached a certain level.

The two flash smoke bombs in Kuroba Kaito's hands fell to the ground instantly.

Even though flash smoke bombs are not as effective during the day as they are at night, it is still quite easy to use strong light to create a short-term blinding effect and then use smoke to escape at close range.

The second generation Kaito Kidd's head dropped instantly.

He avoided Hattori Heiji's hand, turned around immediately, raised the corner of his mouth, and prepared to evacuate quietly. However, at this moment, he heard a whooshing sound of something breaking through the air, and his face was startled.

What the hell is going on?

A wooden sword instantly slashed across from where Kuroba Kaito was originally standing.

If the wooden sword was a little longer, the tip of the sword would directly catch Kuroba Kaito's clothes, allowing Hattori Heiji to confirm Kuroba Kaito's position and thus face continuous wooden sword attacks.

"This is too exaggerated..."

The strong wind from the swinging wooden sword dispersed the smoke a little.

Kuroba Kaito subconsciously took two steps back, remembering who was the last person who could dispel his smoke bomb directly by physical means.

————It was the incredibly strong national karate champion, the extremely terrifying high school student Kyogoku Makoto.

Although compared to Kyogoku Makoto, Hattori Heiji's wooden sword seems to have begun to take human form, it is suspected that it is not that anthropomorphic... This is because all the high school students in the country have secretly evolved it without telling him, and they didn't take him with them.

Or was it just bad luck that he ran into all the dangerous high school students?

The second generation Kaito Kidd complained in his heart and took two steps back.

Just as he lifted his clothes and changed out of his student uniform, ready to blend into the panicked crowd on the roadside, he heard a voice that he absolutely did not want to hear at this time——
