Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 211: Help from Kidd [4k]

After being arrested, Kyosuke Fudo will face a lengthy interrogation process, including the Niinobo suicide case, the shooting of Officer Nara of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division, the underground parking lot attack of Officer Shiba, and the hotel attack of Officer Sato.

Two of the cases were intentional homicide and two were attempted homicide, both of which require detailed investigation.

Not only that. Because Fudo Kyosuke is the attending physician for many police officers, he needs to undergo a more detailed investigation.

Who knows if this guy has any other crimes besides these?

In short, Kyosuke Fudo is now in the hands of the police, and he will have a hard time next.

After watching the excitement, Tachibana Seiji and Xiaolan returned to the banquet hall. Sonoko, who had been itching to try it out, immediately went to Xiaolan to ask about the situation.

At that moment, Xiaolan turned into a storyteller and told Sonoko about the arrest operation that had just taken place, while Tachibana Shizuka naturally came together with Kisaki Eri.

"Shizue, I want to thank you." Eri Kisaki suddenly said to Shizue Tachibana.

"Aunt Eri?" Shizuka Tachibana was a little surprised. The Mori couple, or Kogoro Mori and Eri Kisaki, probably only had one thing to thank him for.

From what I heard from Eri Kisaki, Kogoro Mouri has already told Eri Kisaki about Conan's situation?
With the next sentence, Kisaki Eri answered Tachibana Shizuka's doubts.

"Kogoro has already told me everything about Conan. As Ran's mother, I can't pretend I don't know."

Shortly after the showdown between Maori Kogoro and Tachibana Shizuji, he made an appointment with Kisaki Eri to meet up, and told his wife everything about Conan and Tachibana Shizuji.

Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki are just separated, and it's the kind of separation that's caused by a quarrel. It's just that they are both tsunderes among tsunderes, so the situation is awkward.

But Xiaolan is their daughter, they love Xiaolan, and even love each other. With such a big thing happening, Maori Kogoro naturally has to tell Kisaki Eri about the situation.

The reason why Kogoro Mouri didn't tell Eri Kisaki about this before was very simple. If Eri Kisaki knew about this, she might take Xiaolan away immediately.

But Xiaolan is a soft-hearted girl with a tough heart. Even when she's using karate, she's not very gentle. In short, she has a stubborn personality.

If Xiaolan wanted to move out with Eri Kisaki, she would have left long ago. How could she have stayed in the office all the time?

Furthermore, although Xiaolan doesn't know Conan's identity, that's only temporary. Conan might turn back into Kudo Shinichi at any time. If Xiaolan knew about this, wouldn't it just make things difficult for her?
With Xiaolan's kind nature, she would not blame anyone, but would just feel guilty silently by herself.

After all, as a father, Kogoro Mouri has always been concerned about the Kudo family, not just Ran.

Conan moving into the office is actually a disguised form of "kidnapping" Xiaolan.

As the head of the family, although Kogoro Mouri is sometimes not very reliable at work, he can be a support for his wife and daughter in life.

So when he found out that Conan was Kudo Shinichi, Kogoro Mouri did not make it public, nor did he reveal it to Eri Kisaki.

Now that Conan has moved out of the office, the trouble is solved by Tachibana Shizuka alone. He also won't hide it from Kisaki Eri, his wife and Ran's mother.

When Kisaki Eri first learned the whole story from Kogoro Mori, she was indeed very angry, but after calming down, she also understood that this was Kogoro Mori's good intention.

In any case, in Eri Kisaki's opinion, the biggest contributor to Conan moving out of the office and even preventing Xiaolan from hanging herself on a tree with Kudo Shinichi was Shizuka Tachibana.

Even Eri Kisaki could see that Shizuka Tachibana was interested in Ran.

As the saying goes, the more a mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, the more she likes him. Kisaki Eri already had a fondness for the classmate who had saved Ran's life. Now, after hearing what Mouri Kogoro said, her affection for her skyrocketed.

At this moment, Kisaki Eri looked at Tachibana Shizuka as if she were her own son-in-law.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have forced Sonoko to stay and create a world of her own for Tachibana Seiji and Xiaolan.

It would be fine if the two kids didn't make any progress when I was away, but now that I'm here, if they still don't make any progress, then wouldn't my presence be in vain?!
Although Kisaki Eri didn't know what had just happened, from the fact that Ran was chatting with Sonoko but kept glancing at Tachibana Shizuka, it seemed that they had made some good progress.

This is the biggest difference between Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mori.

The couple were both very grateful to Shizuka Tachibana, but Kogoro Mouri, a daughter slave, was not going to give his daughter away easily just because of Shizuka Tachibana's behavior.

To Kogoro Mouri, anyone who covets his daughter is not a good person.

Tachibana Seiji is considered to be the better one among this group of bad guys.

Although the girlfriend's father and father-in-law are the same person, their attitudes towards the girl's significant other are completely different.

She neither supports nor opposes Shizuka Tachibana, Mori, and Kogoro, and leaves it entirely to Xiaolan to develop on her own.

But Kisaki Eri felt that this was simply a sign of being a daughter slave. Tachibana Shizuka was impeccable in terms of appearance, character, and ability. Since there was such a good choice, and her daughter also had her own ideas.

So why bother fighting for that uncertain future?

In short, the current situation is that Kogoro Mouri neither supports nor opposes Shizuka Tachibana, but Eri Kisaki supports Shizuka Tachibana very much.

As for Kudo Shinichi, what kind of unlucky thing is that?
The reason why Eri Kisaki didn't go to Yukiko Kudo to ask for an explanation was because of their long-term friendship. Otherwise, look at what your son did, is this humane?

Eri Kisaki warmly invited Shizuka Tachibana to visit her law firm when he had time.

Tachibana Shizuka also gladly accepted Kisaki Eri's kindness.

He knew that when Kisaki Eri said about going to her place to play, she didn't really mean to invite Tachibana Shizuka to the office when he was free, but rather to express an attitude of acceptance towards him.

But since Kisaki Eri said so, Tachibana Shizuka will not be polite.

After all, it’s not easy to get married if you are too timid.

After the banquet, everyone was very satisfied. The police caught the criminal they had been looking for, and Shiratori Sara and her fiancé had a successful engagement ceremony.

The other guests had a great time at the scene, and Tachibana Seiji also gained a lot from this trip.

Only Kyosuke Fudo failed to kill anyone and even faced imprisonment - imprisonment was the best punishment for him. Before imprisonment, he still had a lot of suffering to endure.

After the banquet, Tachibana Shizuka drove Sonoko back home, while Xiaolan was taken away by Kisaki Eri.

Although she couldn't trick Xiaolan into coming home directly, it was okay for Kisaki Eri to occasionally take Xiaolan home to stay for a night.

There are no elementary school students who need care in the office now, so Xiaolan feels relieved to leave Kogoro Mouri alone at home.

After returning home, Tachibana Shizuka washed up and went to bed as usual. However, the incessant vibration of his phone woke him up in the middle of the night. After waking up, Tachibana Shizuka glanced at the head of the bed in confusion. The time on the bedside alarm clock clearly told him that it was still late at night.

Tachibana Shizuka reached for the alarm clock that was ticking non-stop, then glanced at the number. He discovered that the person calling him was actually Kaito Kidd, no, Kuroba Kaito.

It's not you, Kaito Kidd, who's weird, is it your sleep schedule? What kind of nice person would be up late at night, almost dawn, calling someone?!

"Kuroba Kaito, you better be okay! Otherwise, I'll strip you naked and tie you to the flagpole of Ekoda High School tomorrow!"

As Tachibana Shizuka spoke, his resentment was about to overflow from the phone. This strong resentment even made Kuroba Kaito on the other end of the phone speechless for a moment.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I really didn't pay attention to the time! But Ju, do you have time now? Can we meet?"

From Kuroba Kaito's tone, Tachibana Shizuka realized that this was probably not a prank, and the resentment in his heart gradually subsided.

Shizuka Tachibana suddenly thought of a possibility that could make Kaito Kid so confused.

"Let's meet at your house. Wait for me."

After saying this, Tachibana Shizuka hung up the phone and ran to the master bedroom bathroom. He washed his face vigorously with cold water and then wiped his face vigorously with a towel soaked in cold water.

After regaining consciousness, Tachibana Shizuka quickly put on his clothes, grabbed his gun, and the car keys before going to the parking space and starting the car.

The black Range Rover quickly blended into the night, with only the red taillights drawing a red line in the dark night.

After arriving at the Kuroba residence, Tachibana Shizuka discovered that the warm light in the Kuroba living room was on. Under the dim light, a figure was sitting alone on the sofa.

Tachibana Shizuka felt the same loneliness, but he also felt that Kuroba Kaito seemed luckier than him.

Although there is no one at Kuroba Kaito's house, his mother is still alive and well, just not in the island country.

Moreover, Kuroba Kaito's father is just missing, not dead. According to the nature of anime, Kuroba Kaito's father might be hiding in some corner.

What about him? When he walks with Batman, they can't even find a mother or a father.

Oh yeah, their combination can also include an Iron Man.

Tsk tsk, so it seems like I = Batman = Iron Man?
I don't seem to be that rich?

Driving the car into the yard of the Kuroba family, Kuroba Kaito had already left the door open for Tachibana Shizuka in advance.

Hearing the sound of the car entering the yard, the lonely figure in the living room also moved and began to walk towards the entrance.

When Tachibana Shizuka walked to the door, Kuroba Kaito opened it just in time.

"Welcome. And sorry for bothering you to come here so late." Kuroba Kaito said to Tachibana Shizuka, with a complicated look in his eyes.

He actually refused when his identity as Kaito Kid was exposed at first, because he knew very well that once his identity as Kaito Kid was exposed, it would mean that he had a handle on others.

Kaito Kidd's superb stealing ability is what ambitious people dream of.

In the days after being arrested, Hei Yu Kuai Dou was very nervous. On the one hand, he was afraid that the police would suddenly come to his door, and on the other hand, he was afraid that this group of people would suddenly threaten him to do something.

But as time went on, he found that this group of people seemed to have forgotten about him. After their initial visit to his home, no one contacted him again.

No one asked him to steal anything, and no one wanted to get involved with him - everyone seemed to treat his house as a tourist attraction.

It’s over once you’ve had fun.

Even no one from the public security department contacted him, although he had Yuya Kazami's contact information.

Kuroba Kaito knew that he had mean intentions, but there was nothing he could do. After all, being a phantom thief was a shady profession, and he couldn't afford to be careless.

After being quiet for a while, Kuroba Kaito decided to come out again and give it a try - he was not addicted to stealing, he just liked to be in the spotlight.

But being a magician can also make him stand out, so he transformed into Kaito Kid just to investigate his father who he didn't know where he died or was hiding.

Since the first generation of Kaito Kid was targeted, it would be reasonable for the second generation of Kaito Kid to be targeted as well, right?

So Kaito Kidd comes out again.

After several successful operations, Kuroba Kaito's life gradually returned to its previous rhythm.

I go to class and school during the day, and after school I research where I can find suitable gems.

Every now and then he would make the headlines by transforming into Kaito Kidd, stealing some gems and returning them.

This stable rhythm of life has been completely broken until today.

Kuroba Kaito's operation today went as smoothly as usual, but after he fooled the police and got the gem, a group of people suddenly emerged from the dark.

The leader pointed it out directly - they called him Kuroba Daoyi and even asked him why he didn't die.

Isn't this the person Kuroba Kaito has been looking for?! Just as Kuroba Kaito was about to have a verbal fight with them, this group of people suddenly pulled out guns and threatened him without any moral ethics.

If it was just one gun, Kuroba Kaito would still have a chance of dealing with it, but with so many guns...
Kuroba Kaito ran very cleanly.

"I see, you've been acting so openly just to lure these people out, but after actually luring them out, you found that they seemed a bit tricky?
So you came to me to discuss some ideas?" After listening, Tachibana Shizuka summarized.

Kuroba Kaito nodded repeatedly: "That's right."

As Kuroba Kaito finished speaking, a long-lost reminder sounded in Tachibana Shizuka's mind:

Through Kuroba Kaito's confession, you realize that he is facing a life decision. He earnestly hopes that you can give him some advice. At this moment, you can make the following choices:

①Suggest him to act alone and find out the enemy's identity by dealing with the unknown enemy. (If you choose ①, you will get "Knowledge: Phantom Thief's Voice Changing Technique (Basic)")
②Suggest him to act alone and provide assistance to the best of your ability. (Choose ② and you will get "Knowledge: Phantom Thief's Disguise (Basics)"

③ Suggest him to seek help from the island nation's public security and try to facilitate the participation of a third party. (Choose ③ and you will receive "Knowledge: Black Feather Flow Magic (Hidden Weapon)"]

Lying on the sofa pretending to think but actually lost in thought, Tachibana Shizuka soon came up with an idea.
