Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 111 is the Lonely Magician

The gem can only be taken away after the exhibition ends tomorrow, but the first thing to deal with is the problem of Phantom Thief Kid. We absolutely cannot let that guy touch the gem.

Xia Chuan has already decided where to send the dazzling flower.

Of course, it's not for sale.

He remembered that Miss Joel didn't seem to be wearing a necklace.

This dazzling flower is just right, it's just a bit too big.

But big and big are a good match, right?
Recently, his relationship with Joel has improved a lot, and it's time to find an opportunity to confess to him, Xia Chuan thought to himself.

He's not like Washing Machine and Black Chicken; they waited for the audience to see him for almost thirty years after confirming their relationship, he's incredibly slow to act.

The Metropolitan Police Department Romance Story has aired so many episodes, but these two couples are still the same.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon.

Xia Chuan arrived at Frank's large villa.

"Can this thing be made?" Xia Chuan was holding Kidd's advance notice in his hand.

The card wasn't made of PVC plastic or anything like that; it was tough and flexible, clearly a product of Ke Xue's work. Xia Chuan thought that the Dark World might be able to find a similar one.

I don't know if it was Dr. Agasa's invention.

Frank examined it for a long time, then scanned it with an instrument and sent the material report to a resource library on the dark web.

Soon, an informant answered his questions.

"Found it! This is carbon nanomaterial infused with spider fluid. It has high toughness and is difficult to break. High-speed shots can penetrate some hard objects."

Frank flipped the card back and forth, and after reading the contents of the notice, he said, "Have you messed with Phantom Thief Kid?"

"Also, how come I didn't know you had gems?"

Frank's eyes widened as he awaited Xia Chuan's reply. Could this guy have stolen some gems from somewhere?

"Didn't I save Natsue Yamamoto of the Yamamoto Group a few days ago? This is a thank-you fee from her. How about that, pretty generous, right?"

Xia Chuan took out a poster from the Green Terrace Exhibition Center, which featured a picture of the Brilliant Flower in the center, with four large characters next to it: Treasure of the Exhibition!

"Share the money!"

Xia Chuan shook his head, unwilling to argue with Frank, and casually pulled out a few Natsume Suiseki coins to insult him.

Frank was a little resentful, but since he figured he might as well take the money, he put it in his pocket.

"If you want the same card, I'm afraid it won't be possible in a short time. It will take at least several days to get your hands on it."

Xia Chuan shook his head; of course he knew this thing wouldn't be available immediately.

"Please remove the words above for me, is that alright?"

Frank nodded, "That's not a problem."

After spending an hour with Frank, Xia Chuan went straight to Ekoda.

It was past 3 p.m., and Ekoda High School had obviously let out for the day, with only a few students still at school participating in club activities.

Xia Chuan glanced at it once and left, arriving at Kuroba's residence in Ekoda.

The car was parked one block away from the Kuroba residence, and Natsukawa got out and walked into a secluded alley.

At this point, his face had transformed into that of a middle-aged man in his early forties.

Needless to say, he was disguised.

After taking a few steps to the corner of the Kuroba family's wall and confirming that no one was around, Natsukawa flipped over and slipped inside the wall.

As for surveillance, I wasn't afraid of it at all after disguising myself.

Kaito Kuroba is not home; I don't know where he went.

However, this gave Xia Chuan room to maneuver.

Ten minutes later, Natsukawa climbed out of his original spot and left Ekoda.

"Kaito, be serious. I'm trying to ask you a question. Please stop saying unnecessary and useless things, okay?"

Aoko Nakamori, a top student at Ekoda Junior High School, spoke up indignantly.

If Kaito weren't the top student at Ekoda Middle School, she definitely wouldn't have asked him to tutor her.

Explain the problem, but why do you have to do a magic trick every now and then to show off your underwear?
"Life needs joy as a spice, and the same goes for learning. There's a path to the mountain of books, and diligence is the way; the sea of hardship is boundless, so learn to cook. Stop studying, learn to cook, and you can be a housewife later, Aoko!"

Kaito Kuroba leaned back on the sofa, his arms outstretched in a relaxed manner. With a flick of his left hand, the red rose instantly transformed into a white dove.

"Qingzi, do you want to raise a white pigeon? Pigeons are so cute."

"Get out!" Nakamori Aoko roared in fury.

She saw it.

The pigeon that just appeared had just pooped on her sofa.

Kaito Kuroba shuddered in fright, and the white dove in his left hand defecated again.

"Kaito Kuroba! Are you doing this on purpose? All I asked you to do was tutor me! Is this really necessary?!"

Aoko Nakamori witnessed the spectacular eruption of Mount Fuji behind her, and then kicked and shoved Kaito Kuroba out of her house.

"roll!"

Snapped!
The door slammed shut, and Kaito Kuroba shrugged helplessly, a smile playing on his lips.

I'm sorry, Aoko, but I have something very important to do today.
Upon returning home, Kaito Kuroba immediately went to his room.

Looking at the portrait of her father on the wall in her bedroom, her gaze was firm.

"Today I'm meeting that Kid. I will definitely find out your identity, Dad, and the cause of your death! I will unravel the final magic trick of Kuroba Toichi!"

The painting was pushed open, revealing a hidden passage behind it.

Kaito Kuroba walked in as usual.

It has been some time since he learned about this room, and he has become completely familiar with all the equipment left behind by Kuroba Touichi.

I thought my dad was the Phantom Thief Kid who disappeared eight years ago.

After all, the time when Phantom Thief Kid disappeared coincided with the time when his father died, and coupled with all the equipment in the secret room of the house, all of this pointed to his father's identity.

However, today he actually saw on the TV news that Phantom Thief Kid was about to steal the Brilliant Flower from the Green Channel Exhibition Center.

This news left him feeling lost.

My dad is the real Phantom Thief Kid, so who is this guy?

Was my guess wrong?
Or is it that his father is still alive and has made a comeback? If so, why doesn't he come back?

"Today I'm determined to expose the true identity of this Phantom Thief Kid. Even if it's not you, Dad, you can definitely provide information about him."

Inside the secret room, Kaito put on his cloak, donned a one-way mirror, and stared intently at his reflection.

Finally, he picked up the white top hat.

"Well then, Kaito Kid, see you tonight!"

He tossed his hat up high, opened his arms, and struck a pose as if to embrace.

Today, he will officially inherit his father's identity!
The tall hat tumbled several times before falling due to gravity, almost landing on his head.

At that moment, a white card fell out of the hat.

"This is?"

Kaito reacted extremely quickly, catching the top hat with his head and then catching the card in mid-air at the same time.

The card was pure white with only one line of text on it.

The shining star doesn't belong to you, Kaito. Give up now.

Signed: A lonely magician.

"Is he a lonely magician?"

Kaito's lips twitched. Was it a pun? But what an abstract name.

It feels like it was just something written on the spot.

Make a complaint.

Kaito's expression immediately turned serious.

The card appeared too abruptly.
