I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

But before she could ask the question, the sounds of three little ones rushing out like torpedoes rang out from the back.

"Wow~ It's Brother Sera!"

"long time no see!"

"Remember us?"

The next second, Genta, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi and the other two rushed to Serabelle, puffing out their chests with proud looks on their faces as if they were asking for credit and reward.

Serabelle recognized the three small torpedoes at a glance and nodded.

"Ah...long time no see."

Looking back, following closely into the observation hall were Haibara Ai, who was walking with Professor Agasa like a grandfather and grandson, and Conan, who turned his head away awkwardly when his eyes met Serabelle.

As well as three reporters with Nichiren TV work badges on them, and a man who looked a little dark-skinned and a little out of place with the people around him, who was traveling alone.

"Who is that?"

Based on her previous speculation in the office, Serabelle asked casually.

"Oh him..."

Sonoko glanced in the direction and gave the name.

"His name is Fujioka Takamichi, and he's a freelance journalist. He said he really wanted to write about the battle between Uncle Jiroyoshi and Kaito Kid, so he volunteered to come."

"Wow~ Another freelance journalist."

Upon hearing this profession, Serabelle couldn't help but think of what happened with the Egg of Memory before.

He clearly had a criminal record, but he still dared to allow such a person of unknown origin to travel with him. I don't know whether to say that he is courageous or insane.

Hiss... But then again, shouldn't freelance journalists write about whatever is hot? Right now the internet is flooded with news about the Nishitama City Bacteriological Research Institute being blown up by terrorists. Instead of taking advantage of that popularity, you write about a showdown between thieves. What are you thinking?

Especially if I lose the duel, and this guy ends up writing down the whole process of how Suzuki Jirokichi was defeated, I'm afraid that the article will be published that night, and I'll be in Tokyo Bay and doing the butterfly stroke on the Sanzu River with Pisco the next morning.

Just as Serabelle's mind was full of weird guesses, the voice of Mrs. Suzuki sounded at the right time.

"By the way, since we have nothing to do right now, Bei...Sera-kun, how about I take you up there for a stroll?"

"That's okay."

Of course, Serabelle didn't care and agreed without thinking. The two of them turned around and left the observation room together.

The girl with only the hairband left stood there with a look of disappointment on her face.

After leaving the observation room and walking through the corridor, Serabelle and Suzuki Tomoko soon arrived at the elevator door in the middle of the floor.

After pressing the request up button, Suzuki Tomoko turned around, naturally put her arm around the boy's arm and smiled.

"Well, although the airship looks huge from the outside, in fact, the interior space is only the upper sky observatory besides the living area on the lower floor. The middle part is made of steel frames and helium airbags to provide floating power, so there are only two floors in total."

That's all... Yeah, that's all...

Serabelle repeated these two words silently, and in her heart she did not comment.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps came closer and closer in the corridor from the direction they came from, and it was the sound of hard-soled leather shoes stepping on the smooth ground.

The sound was accompanied by an urgent call.

"Mrs. Suzuki, Mrs. Suzuki..."

The next second, a figure appeared at the corner of the corridor. It turned out to be Secretary Nishino.

He hurried over with a cell phone in his hand, and was slightly stunned when he saw Suzuki Tomoko and Serabel holding hands at the elevator door, but he immediately pretended that he saw nothing and trotted all the way to the two of them before stopping.

"Mrs. Suzuki, the Hatamoto Group wants to talk to you over the phone..."

"Hatamoto Foundation?"

Suzuki Tomoko didn't even loosen her arm, she just frowned slightly.

"Didn't you tell them that I wasn't free today?"

Secretary Nishino bowed his head respectfully and handed over the phone: "We did, but they insisted on talking on the phone, saying that there was something important about the cooperation..."

"Never mind. Got it."

Suzuki Tomoko was a little unhappy, but since it was a matter of consortium cooperation, she still reached out to take the phone, thought about it, and turned to Serabel.

"Bell, you go up first. I'll come up right after I finish the call."

"Row."

Serabelle nodded in agreement.

Just at this moment, the elevator was descending. Suzuki Tomoko gently pulled away the boy's arm, and before completely letting go, she pinched the boy's fingertips provocatively.

She didn't hide it at all in front of Secretary Nishino, which means she did it simply to take care of her daughter's feelings... Serabel shook her head and complained in her heart.

The safety door closed and the elevator went up.

Passing through the elevator's ascending passage that looked like the inside of a whale's body, when Serabelle felt her body suddenly lighten, the elevator door reopened.

In an instant, the entire blue sky came into view, and high-altitude air currents whizzed through the open-air vents above the observatory, but only a gentle breeze blew into the interior of the observatory, which covered an area as large as two or three football fields.

Under the reflection of the blue sky, a figure in a waiter's uniform stood in front of the display counter where the "Lady of the Sky" was stored in the center of the observatory.

Chapter 214: Caught the Phantom Thief’s Wife in the Act

Coming out again after nearly twenty years, Hei Yu Qianying believes that his mentality is still in place.

After all, she was once a famous thief lady in France... Although she is now a thief's wife, it is impossible to say that she is not excited at all.

Of course, it is not quite accurate to say that it is pure excitement. If I have to say it, it is more like a kind of impatient emotion, like awakening after a long period of dormancy, and I can't wait to tell the whole world about my return.

Just as arrogant as when he single-handedly played tricks on the entire French police force.

But because of this, Kuroba Chikage's actions became a little bit radical.

She did not follow the tried and tested routine of disguising herself and blending into the target group, patiently waiting for the opportunity to come before striking with lightning speed and then immediately escaping thousands of miles away.

Instead, he walked directly to the target alone.

Looking inside through the bulletproof glass on the platform full of mechanisms, which is strong enough to withstand machine gun fire, a huge jewel ring is fixed in it, strung on the ring finger of the plastic model hand.

The platinum ring wraps around a sky-blue gem, and inside the gem is a bit of gold debris wrapped like pure natural amber. The shape of the gold debris is exactly like the profile of a European noblewoman.

"The Suzuki family, this wealthy landlord, has so many good things..."

Kuroba Chikage muttered softly.

At the same time, there was a sound of the elevator door opening in the distance behind him.

How can it be! ?

Heiyu Qianying was slightly stunned, then immediately turned around and looked back vigilantly.

She got on the airship by posing as a waitress, so she was very familiar with the entire test flight process.

Logically speaking, Suzuki Jirokichi and his group should have finished touring the sky observatory five minutes ago, and should be chatting and bragging in the observation hall on the lower floor. How come someone came up here?

Who is so outrageous as to not play by the rules?

In an instant, the thief's wife's mind raced. She was still a waitress. Although she appeared in a place where she shouldn't have been, she was just watching and didn't do anything suspicious.

In contrast, if you are in a hurry to find a place to hide and are discovered, you will be more likely to be suspected.

What's more, the main feature of this sky observatory is that it is flat, so even if she wanted to find a place to hide, there was nowhere to hide.

Forget it, I won’t hide anymore!

With her eyes closed and her heart made up, the thief's wife decisively made what she thought was the most reasonable choice at the moment.

The next second, a figure slowly walked out of the elevator door that opened.

Hey, why is there only one? And it's a boy?

When she saw the appearance of the person coming, the thief's wife couldn't help but have a small question mark popping up in her head.

Well~ He is quite handsome, and looks a bit young. I feel a bit... like playing a tease on him?

After a little thought, Kuroba Chikage raised the corner of her mouth. She deliberately stood still, and only bowed properly when Serabelle approached, and then changed to a strong girl's voice that was more in line with her current appearance.

"It's such a beautiful gem. I couldn't help but take some time off from work to look at it. But it would be terrible if such a beautiful gem was stolen... You think so too, right, Kaito Kidd, who is disguised as an ordinary tourist?"

When saying this, Hei Yu Qianying tried her best to control the corners of her mouth from rising.

According to normal logic, most people would try to explain that they are not Kaito Kidd after learning that they are accused of being Kaito Kidd. However, proving one's innocence is troublesome in itself, and the accusation is so serious that one would undoubtedly panic.

What’s more, he is a boy who looks so innocent...wait, innocent?

Three seconds passed without any reply after he finished speaking. Feeling that something was wrong, Hei Yu Qianying suddenly reacted, only to see that the other party was looking at him with eyes that showed concern for a mentally retarded person.

Serabelle squinted her eyes and tilted her head. "Although I can understand your reluctance to not only fail to solve the puzzle last time, but also to succeed, but isn't it a bit too self-destructive to just jump out like this?"

Last time?

The thief's wife blinked twice and finally seemed to realize something.

"You are……"

"Amnesia?"

Serabelle glanced at him with a hint of contempt.

"There's no need to play dumb to this extent. This is already the fourth time we've met, and I've almost figured out your logic. Especially in places like the airship and the cruise ship that were similar to mobile islands, you must have disguised yourself as someone else to get in from the beginning, and then looked for the right opportunity to strike."

"After all, it's still very troublesome to approach them midway. Not only is it troublesome, but it's also costly and laborious, especially for airborne mobile units like airships. If you want to land midway, you can only rely on helicopters for air transport, but that would not only require accomplices but also easily attract attention, thus being on guard and giving people the opportunity to take action, right?"

Absolutely right…

Even with Heiyu Qianying's arrogance, he couldn't help but agree in his heart.

"Okay, stop pretending."

After saying all this, Serabelle suddenly dropped her guard, lazily put her hands in her pockets, walked around to the side of the thief's wife, and glanced at her sideways.

"So you showed up this time just to accept the challenge from old man Jirokichi?"

"...can't you?"

Kuroba Qiankage was a little uncomfortable with this familiar attitude and pursed her lips.

But as soon as she said this, Serabelle raised her tone and hummed as if in question, and turned her head to look at her curiously.

"Why are you suddenly talking in a mixed tone?"

"No, no..."

Kuroba Chikage coughed awkwardly, and quickly put aside the strong girlish voice that she had used to conceal her identity at the beginning, and replaced it with the voice of her daughter in her memory.

But she was once just the Phantom Thief Lady, not the genius magician Kuroba Toichi.

When it comes to stealing skills, Kuroba Chikage is definitely better, but when it comes to disguise and voice-changing techniques, she hasn't even learned the basics.

So the result is - similar, but only a little bit similar.

Serabelle also felt strange: "It's not clamped anymore, but it still feels a little low. Did you catch a cold?"

"I don't have a cold..." Hei Yu Chiying complained.

"Forget it, never mind that."

Ignoring the resentful look the Phantom Thief's wife cast at him, Serabelle raised her hand and flicked her forehead lightly, just like punishing a child who lost a game of rock-paper-scissors.

"Anyway, I win again this time. Remember not to take anything without permission... Hey, this sky observatory is really big."

As he said this, he raised his hand to shield himself from the sun and looked around.

The mentality of the thief's wife, who was covering her forehead, underwent a slight change.

You're just a kid, how dare you be so arrogant?

I will definitely give you something awesome to try!

On the other side, Suzuki Jirokichi, who was in the observation room on the lower floor of the airship, received a phone call that made his face change drastically.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi. We are red Siamese cats. Listen carefully. We are now spreading killer bacteria on the Suzuki airship..."

"What did you say?!"
