Stay away from Conan.

Looking at the paint splashed on his body from the car that was chasing him, Kaito Kid used Kudo Shinichi's appearance to check his condition and couldn't help but complain in a depressed tone:

"Really? I can't wear it if it's stained with paint..."

Just like this, when Kaito Kidd finished saying this, on the other side, Hakuba Tan, who was stained by the paint splashed from the overturned paint bucket, tidied up his appearance a little, walked out of the warehouse, and looked at the scene in front of him——

The driver was caught, and this Kudo Shinichi...

"You are Kaito Kidd, right?"

Therefore, Bai Ma Tan naturally said this about the identity of the person in front of him:

It seems that, although there was some doubt before, it is now confirmed.

At the same time, just after Hakuba Tan said this, Hattori Heiji happened to escort another driver to the two of them, and happened to hear what Hakuba Tan said.

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression subconsciously -

"Kaito Kidd? Isn't that Kudo?"

"You mean... Kudo Shinichi is Kaito Kid?"

As a result, as soon as Hattori Heiji said this, Hakuba Tan suddenly asked this question in return.

Suddenly, after hearing this, Hattori Heiji vaguely remembered something -

Speaking of which, for the client, the person who appears now looks like Kudo Shinichi, but the other party should think that he is Kaito Kid!

So, the current situation...

At this point, Hattori Heiji seemed to have vaguely thought of something. Could it be that the client had told this Hakuba detective that the person he was with now was Kaito Kid?

Therefore, the other party will now think that this person is Kaito Kid?

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji quickly explained:

"No, no! So... you also received a message from the client and came to confirm the situation of Kaito Kidd?"

In this way, Hattori Heiji asked in a tactful way, wanting to know the specific situation of Hakuba Tan.

In response to this, Hakuba Tan couldn't help but say to "Kudo Shinichi":

"There's no need for too much explanation. The technique you just displayed has already explained everything, hasn't it?"

"Ha ha……"

So, hearing what Hakuba Tan said, Kaito Kid, who was pretending to be Kudo Shinichi, simply stopped pretending. After all, from the beginning, he chose to replace the real Kudo Shinichi and had no intention of hiding his identity. So he chuckled and said to Hakuba Tan:

"You are really persistent with me, Bai Ma... But, instead of pursuing me, you should think more about how to deal with these two guys, right?

"Who do you think is the one who can show up here at this time and attack us?"

In this way, at the end, Kaito Kid began to question the two people present. At the same time, Kudo Shinichi, who was hiding in the warehouse, also began to think based on the current situation -

"Obviously, it must be related to the armored car robbery and the murder of Shoji Nishio..." Naturally, Hakuba Tanaka answered like this in response to Kaito Kid's questioning.

Apparently, Hattori Heiji was a little unresponsive to what Kaito Kidd had just said.

That's not right, Kudo is...

Or……

Although Hattori Heiji had not witnessed the actions of Kaito Kid, he naturally recalled the inexplicable situation of the driver who was chasing him and fell on the way. Combined with what "Kudo Shinichi" said now, Hattori Heiji quickly realized that the Kudo Shinichi in front of him, could it be that he is really...

Therefore, Hattori Heiji, who realized this, was very surprised. He didn't understand when Kaito Kidd and Kudo Shinichi switched places if his guess was correct. After all, the Kudo Shinichi at the beginning must be real, because he saw the other party change from Conan to Kudo...

However, now that things have come to this, in front of Hakuba Tan, Hattori Heiji quickly regained his normal reaction and began to speak along with their words:

"And... speaking of these guys carrying guns, could it be that they are the ones chasing you?"

After all, when talking about Kaito Kidd's situation in this matter, Hattori Heiji quickly remembered that Kaito Kidd was suspected of being hunted down. Therefore, if the person in front of him was really Kaito Kidd, he might be able to get something out of him directly about this matter.

In response to this, upon hearing Hattori Heiji's question, Kaito Kid chuckled and said:

"You are really sharp, the famous detective from Kansai... However, they are not the guys who clashed with me on the day when the armored car case was closed, but they are the ones who have been chasing me since then..."

"Oh? So, on the day of the armored car robbery, you saw the faces of the robbers directly, right? That's why the gunfight took place, right?"

Soon, Bai Ma Tan mentioned this matter.

At this, Kaito Kid nodded slightly and replied:

"That's right. At this point, there's no need to hide it from you. I'm sure you've already guessed it. The criminals involved in the armored car robbery that day, in addition to Ito Suehiko who made the plan, and Nishio Masaharu who was killed, were the suspected suicide Reiko Shimizu. After I came out of the art museum of Miyama Shoji, I happened to see them changing cars, and thus I was sniped by them...

"So, no matter what, I have to find out the background of these people. Otherwise, being hunted down for no apparent reason is not a good thing."

"So, the two people behind this are... could it be Ito Suehiko and Shimizu Reiko? After they robbed the armored car, they killed Nishio Masaharu who was also involved in the operation, and then fled together?"

After all, the whereabouts of Shimizu Reiko and Ito Suehiko are basically unknown, so Hattori Heiji guessed:

"However, that mysterious client..."

"Instead of guessing here, why not get some information from them? Let's see if there are any clues worth investigating in their phones..."

At this point, Kaito Kid had no intention of reasoning with the two detectives and was ready to seek answers directly from their mobile phones.

So just like that, after Kaito Kid unlocked their phones, he looked through the message records inside, then smiled slightly and began to say:

"It seems... they really have some information to dig up! The person behind them, at least for now, is neither Ito Suehiko nor Shimizu Reiko, but the president of Fukayama Shoji..."

"Is that the president of the Shinyama company whose gem you stole?"

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but be surprised... (End of this chapter)
