Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"Kid!"

As Hei Yu Dao stepped on the stairs and rushed up quickly, white smoke was already floating down from the top floor, completely blocking the surveillance cameras and everyone's view.

"Dad! Don't run so fast!"

Nakamori Aoko saw her father running ahead of Conan and Kyogoku Makoto, and seemed to have left the two guys far behind: "You are more excited today than usual!"

Passing through the smoke and returning to the princess' bangs, Hei Yu Daoyi looked at the soup pot that was still emitting white smoke, walked slowly to the table, and found that it was just ordinary smoke.

It seems that Kaito had thrown a waterproof smoke ejection device into the soup pot in advance. Because the machine itself is heavy and specially made in white, it cannot be scooped out with a spoon.

Everyone was wary of the fish soup, so they didn't check the soup pot. The machine sprayed white mist out after the timer was set.

"This guy deliberately made the machine spray smoke while we were away, but how did he calculate that?" Conan was already feeling unwell, and running too fast made his face even paler.

Kidd is not here, his purpose is to lead everyone back to the princess's bangs, but he has not come upstairs since he entered the museum, how come...

Conan suddenly looked at the camera above his head and said speechlessly: "Isn't that guy hiding somewhere and watching TV all the time?"

There was only half an hour left until the predicted time, and everyone except Suzuki Jirokichi returned to the Princess's bangs to reorganize the information with each other.

"From this point of view, that guy must have disguised himself as Consultant Suzuki!"

Conan's judgment made the Kuroba couple curious. Just as they were about to ask him the reason, the sound of panting again drew everyone's attention to the entrance of the exhibition hall.

"Where's that little thief?!"

Suzuki Jirokichi is very old, and although he can still participate in various extreme sports, the distance from the west hall to here is very long. Yuko herself is exhausted and can't pretend to be calm.

Apart from the children, Kyogoku Makoto was the most convinced of Conan's reasoning ability among the crowd. The young man immediately walked over enthusiastically and wanted to support Consultant Suzuki, but his instant attack on the old man's face still scared Yuko, and when she dodged, she exposed the truth that she was not Suzuki Jirokichi.

"You are indeed not Consultant Suzuki!" A group of people immediately pounced on Suzuki Yuko, and the fat figure kept moving around the entire hall. Not wanting to be knocked down inexplicably, Hei Yu Qianying had no choice but to wait by the jeweled gold crown.

Yuji was watching the show. Beside him were Princess An, who didn't want to join in the fun, and Miss Hakuba, who looked disdainful. Haibara Ai was sitting on the sofa, looking after her sleeping children, and even considerately put headphones on them.

"That guy is not Kidd at all. If he was disguised as Suzuki Jirokichi, there would be no need to prepare any smoke bombs here."

Bai Ma Bai Zi glanced at the soup pot. She had been following the program about Kidd's actions, so she knew the ins and outs of the soup pot. Therefore, she focused her suspicion on the person who had just returned here from downstairs.

Excluding the child and Kuroba Kaito's own mother, Hakuba thought that the ones who were suspected to be suspicious were probably Nakamori Ginzo, the girl beside him, and Officer Doron. After all, they seemed to be the only ones who had been in there since the beginning.

While he was thinking, Suzuki Jirokichi's mask on his face had become wrinkled due to constant intense exercise, and his torso supported by air bags inside was gradually shrinking, making him look even more terrifying than an ordinary old man.

"You, take off your mask now and wait for Officer Nakamori to arrest you. Anyone can see that you are not Consultant Suzuki."

With eyes blazing with anger, Yuko glared at Kyogoku Makoto, took out a white marble from her pocket and smashed it hard on the ground. Accompanied by white smoke, she took off her disguise and returned to the image of the new Phantom Thief Lady.

Suzuki Yuko stepped lightly from the wall and stood firmly on the camera, holding her white top hat, watching the crowd surrounding her with a somewhat frustrated look.

"It turns out to be Lady Phantom Thief, where's Kidd?!"

Hearing Kyogoku Makoto's vigilant question, Yuko waved her hands and said she didn't know. Then she looked past Nakamori Ginzo and Kuroba Chikage and took in everyone's expressions.

"My goal..."

"Your target is the Princess' Flower Name Crown, and your goal is to fight against Kaito Kidd. We all know this."

Toichi Kuroba's eyes fell on Kaito in the dark, and he noticed that his son was still feeling proud that Yuko was discovered while he was fine, so he immediately began to prepare for plan B.

[Don't blame me, son.] (End of this chapter)
