Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 212: The Jungle Gang Reunites [4k]

"I don't think it's feasible to do this alone. There are so many people like you mentioned with so many guns.

If someone is really determined to start shooting indiscriminately without saying anything, you won't be able to dodge it no matter how good your skills are."

Unlike Saints like Kyogoku Makoto and Ran, Kuroba Kaito's skills are all based on his family's inherited magic.

The others can only withstand attacks more effectively and have decent dodging abilities, but they still can't reach the level of being able to dodge bullets like Kyogoku Makoto and Ran.

If the people in the zoo didn't do those weird things and just launched a "million bullets" attack when they met, Kaito Kidd would definitely be killed.

"Going it alone isn't an option. Didn't you help Officer Kazami before? Why don't you ask them for help?"

Whether it's a zoo or a winery, there's nothing wrong with just going to Feng Jianyu. He's a real professional, and he usually investigates these people.

"That's not good. Although everyone knows that I'm Kidd, it's a bit... "

Kuroba Kaito still has concerns.

The matter of Kaito Kidd is not brought to the surface and everyone knows it tacitly. Kuroba Kaito will take action when necessary, while Kazami Yuya pretends to know nothing.

Anyway, Kaito Kid always returns the things he steals. Sometimes he even indirectly helps the police solve cases.

But if Kuroba Kaito wants Yuya Kazami to help, he must at least have a reasonable reason, right?
If outsiders knew that a thief could get the Metropolitan Police Department to help, it would be a very embarrassing thing to say.

"What about not mentioning Kaito Kidd?"

"Emmm, what does that mean?" Kuroba Kaito was puzzled.

"Let me give you an example. If a museum wants to raise its profile, it would invite a high school magician to pretend to be Kaito Kidd.
You happen to be that talented magician, and while performing you discover that someone actually wants to kill you.

In panic, you asked a familiar police officer to investigate and unexpectedly discovered a transnational criminal group.

Isn’t that more reasonable?”

"Ahh. It seems to be true?!" Kuroba Kaito suddenly realized that this was quite feasible.

The matter of Kuroba Kaito is a secret that cannot be told. As long as there is a reasonable explanation, Kazami Yuya will definitely be willing to make things easier for Kuroba Kaito.

In fact, Yuya Kazami is still very envious of Kaito Kuroba's disguise and voice changing skills.

Although Kuroba Kaito is Kaito Kidd, he is just a high school student who has not yet reached adulthood.

Of course, Yuya Kazami is willing to recruit talents like Kaito Kuroba into his team, but recruiting a high school student as an agent is somewhat unreliable and taboo.

This is the main reason why Yuya Kazami didn't contact Kuroba Kaito for so long after he helped him.

Tachibana Shizuka's analysis made Kuroba Kaito suddenly realize something, but then he started to worry.

"Where can I find a museum like this right now? Surely a regular museum wouldn't do this?"

As long as it can make money and increase visitor traffic, no matter which museum it is, it would not mind directing and performing its own show.

There's nothing to lose anyway.

What Kuroba Kaito is worried about is that no one will use him - although his father is the famous magician Kuroba Touichi, he has not made a name for himself in the industry after all.

Even if a museum uses this plan, it will generally choose a magician with more experience.

After all, if this kind of thing were to come to light, it would probably be considered a scandal.

"Of course, such a museum is not easy to find, but that doesn't mean it can't be found." Tachibana Shizuka said to Kuroba Kaito. It was time to call together their all-powerful friends.
.
Tachibana Shizuka was more public-spirited than Kuroba Kaito, so he didn't contact the rest of the jungle group in the middle of the night.

However, in the morning, after the other members of the chat group saw the message left by Tachibana Shizuka in the group, they responded one after another and reunited at the familiar Kuroba residence.

This is the advantage of a small place. Even if you take the Shinkansen from Osaka or Kyoto to Tokyo, it only takes more than two hours.

Not to mention the money-capable Ooka Momiji. Anyway, after hearing Tachibana Shizuka say in the group that there was some new fun, the gang members were all more enthusiastic than the last.

"This is the current situation. In order to get the Metropolitan Police Department to stop, we need a trigger."

Tachibana Shizuka explained the situation to his friends at Kuroba Kaito's house. He made no secret of the existence of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Sonoko and Ooka Momiji are children of wealthy families and tycoons, while Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha's father is a high-ranking police officer.

Even Xiaolan's father and mother are a famous detective and a barrister, and they are family members, so there is no need to hide it.

"I understand. It's a sting operation, right? Let me think about it." After listening to this, Ooka Momiji thought for a moment, then smiled at Hattori Heiji under the vigilant gaze of Toyama Kazuha.

"Speaking of which, my family happens to have an art museum in Osaka. I can provide the venue~"

The Suzuki Group doesn’t say that there are art museums all over Japan, but there is certainly no shortage of art museums in major cities.

It was obvious that Ooka Momiji had a purpose in taking this initiative - since they were already in Osaka, and as a friend of Hattori Heiji, it was reasonable for her to visit the Hattori family, right?
Of course, you can go to Kyoto instead of Osaka, the same principle applies. As a friend of Ooka Momiji, there is nothing wrong with Hattori Heiji visiting her home in Kyoto.

Sonoko doesn't understand the intrigues between girls, but she is still passionate about this action.

Although Kaito Kid had a face reminiscent of Kudo Shinichi's, he was still her idol after all. Furthermore, he had been treated well at Kuroba's house before, so Sonoko, a fun-loving person, naturally followed up with the following:

"If Kaito Kidd is going to appear, he should need a gem, right? Let me think about it. Haha, I got it!"

Sonoko's eyes lit up: "Speaking of which, when our family was taking inventory of the safe recently, we found an egg called the 'Egg of Memories'.

It is a secret treasure of the Romanov dynasty in the late 19th century. It is very finely crafted but has no gemstones on it.

"The Egg of Memories." When Kuroba Kaito heard Sonoko mention the Egg of Memories, he obviously thought of something, but he didn't say it out loud.

"But doesn't Kaito Kidd only target gems in every action? If there are no gems in the Egg of Memories, will anyone believe it?" Toyama Kazuha asked puzzledly.

"Yes," Kuroba Kaito replied, "In fact, Kaito Kid doesn't only target gems. In certain special circumstances, he will choose other targets."

"It's just as well that there's no gemstone." Tachibana Shizuka added, "This way we can see whether the person Kuroba encountered during his last operation was specifically after him, or was he just after the gemstone."

"That's it!"
.
Originally, the Suzuki family's Egg of Memory was only circulated in a small circle of collectors, but for some reason, there was suddenly a rumor on the market that Kaito Kidd had set his sights on the Suzuki family's Egg of Memory.

It just so happened that the Suzuki family's egg of memories was scheduled for a national exhibition. Since the Osaka Suzuki Museum of Art was undergoing renovations, the exhibition was scheduled to be held at the Ooka Museum of Art in Osaka. "If we do this, will they really fall for it? I'm referring to the issue of not sending a notice."

Kaito Kuroba, dressed in casual clothes, walked with Shizuji Tachibana in the Ooka family art gallery. There were quite a few people around, and it seemed that many fans of Kaito Kid had come to "make a pilgrimage" to this holy place.

"Who knows? The last time you dealt with those people, do you think they could keep their distance from you?"

Tachibana Shizuka shook his head. This was an attempt and also an insurance for Kuroba Kaito.

If there is no advance notice, if any accidents occur during the operation, the Suzuki family can still explain it by saying that they invited them to perform.

But if Kuroba Kaito gathers all the elements of Kaito Kid, no one will believe it even if the Suzuki family says that they invited Kuroba Kaito to set the mood.

You are wearing Kaito Kid's clothes, sending Kaito Kid's notice letters, and stealing things using Kaito Kid's methods. Who would believe you if you said you were not Kaito Kid?

By then, your crotch will really be filled with mud - if not shit.

What's more, there was no yellow mud in Kuroba Kaito's crotch.

The two followed the flow of people in the art museum and soon it was their turn to visit. As for the object of their visit, it was naturally the Egg of Memories on display at the Suzuki family.

"Do you know this thing?" Tachibana Shizuka asked when he saw Kuroba Kaito observing it seriously.

"Well, actually, I've heard of the Egg of Memory. I just didn't expect it to be in the hands of the Suzuki family."

Kuroba Kaito's unusual behavior made Tachibana Shizuka laugh out loud: "What's so strange about this?

The Suzuki Group is one of Japan's leading conglomerates, so there's nothing strange about anything that comes out of their business.

So this thing was really made by someone commissioned by the Russian emperor?"

"Yes, the craftsman who made this egg is actually from Japan. He's a skilled craftsman with a great understanding of mechanisms.

His descendants should now

When Kuroba Kaito said this, Tachibana Shizuka patted his arm, and then he looked at Tachibana Shizuka in confusion.

"Although I can't imagine what you're going to say, I think it's best if you don't say it.

Who created the Egg of Memory, who brought it to the island nation, and what story is involved are of little concern to us."

“You have to remember that this thing belongs to the Suzuki family’s collection, and Sonoko didn’t hesitate to contribute it because you were in trouble.

Yuanzi is straightforward and outspoken, but she's no fool. She should think twice before she speaks.

Combining the original work with Tachibana Shizuka, it's not hard to guess what Kuroba Kaito wants to say. The Magician of the End of the Century is the new nickname used by Kaito Kid in the movie.

But this nickname still has a profound meaning.

Because the person who made this egg also has this nickname, it is not difficult to see from the magician in the nickname that this person should be a colleague of Kuroba Kaito.

There is nothing wrong with sympathizing with each other as colleagues, but being generous to others is a bit outrageous.

When Tachibana Shizuka watched this movie as a child, he didn't feel anything, but when he watched it again as an adult, he almost couldn't hold back when he heard Conan's reasoning.

Conan said that Kaito Kidd never thought of taking the Egg of Memories for himself. He sent out the invitation letter and blew up the substation during the operation in order to return the Egg of Memories to its original owner.

Sounds reasonable, right? But there's actually a big problem—doesn't the Suzuki family own this thing?
Kuroba Kaito really wanted to find someone to buy the Egg of Memory and give it away however he wanted, but it was stolen and returned to its original owner.
Is there no one speaking up for the Suzuki family?
The Suzuki family's newly built buildings were bombed every now and then, which was one of the problems - their own collection was even targeted and demanded to be returned to its original owner.

Even at the end of the story, everyone thought that the Suzuki family's egg of memories should belong to Natsumi Kosaka, but there was not a single person from the Suzuki family among these people.

In the original novel, it was fine if no one knew each other, but now that everyone knew each other, Sonoko helped Kuroba Kaito so much.

Tachibana Shizuka naturally couldn't stand by and watch Kuroba Kaito be confused.

"Don't worry, am I the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for him?" Kuroba Kaito said angrily. In fact, he had thought about it at first. But in the end, he knew that it was not right to do so, so he said nothing.

"I would never do something like repaying kindness with enmity." Kuroba Kaito assured Tachibana Shizuka.

Apart from anything else, having a good relationship with the Suzuki family would be quite useful to him in the future.

Although he didn't know why his father collected all kinds of rare gems, if he could get the help of the Suzuki Group, even if they opened the collection to let him take a look at the various gems, it would be more efficient than stealing them one by one by himself.

Not to mention that the criminal organization that Conan targeted his father is now targeting him again. He has a hunch that this time he might be able to find out why his father is so obsessed with gems.

"Hey, are you guys done? If you want to chat, go outside and don't disturb the people behind you!"

When Tachibana Shizuka and Kuroba Kaito were communicating with the Egg of Memories, an impatient voice suddenly appeared in the team behind them.

Tachibana Shizuka looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man with a mustache and a dark brown windbreaker.

Just from the middle-aged man's expression and tone, you can tell that he is a rude person.

"If I remember correctly, our visiting time shouldn't have arrived yet?" Tachibana Shizuka looked the man up and down, then waved to the security guard not far away.

Tachibana Seiji and Kuroba Kaito came to the Ooka family art museum to visit the nature museum and see the Ooka red leaves.

The security guard not far away was also sent by the director of the art museum to help solve some problems.

"Mr. Tachibana." The security guard came to Tachibana Shizuka and bowed his head.

"This gentleman is very angry. If he impulsively does something to the Memory Egg, it will be bad. Please ask him to go outside and calm down."

One was a distinguished guest whom the museum director had specifically instructed not to neglect, while the other was a middle-aged man of little character. This wasn't a difficult decision for the security guards.

He immediately walked up to the middle-aged man and politely extended his hand to signal him that he could leave.

The middle-aged man in the queue stared at Tachibana Shizuka for a long time, but Tachibana Shizuka looked back at him without hesitation.

After a while, the middle-aged man snorted coldly, left the queue and walked out of the art gallery.
