Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 333 Please keep a poker face!

The next day in the afternoon.

Dorobica Amusement Park.

As one of Tokyo's most famous amusement parks, the number of visitors here is terrifying.

Especially in summer, especially since a large-scale new attraction has just been set up here, and there's a parade tonight.
Locating Kazeto Kyosuke precisely in such a place is indeed quite difficult; even Natsukawa has to be fully alert to his surroundings at all times.

However, this tense atmosphere did not last long before it was broken by a playful little girl.

"Father, can you take me to play that?"

Anya blinked her big eyes cutely, pointing at the drop tower and unable to look away.

That sounds exciting! Jumping off from there must be so much fun. I've never been to an amusement park when I was in the orphanage.

Since Natsukawa came to Japan, he has taken Anya to many places, but this is the first time they have been to an amusement park.

"Our goal today is to help Xiaolan regain her memory, and," Xia Chuan looked up at the drop tower, "minors and people with heart conditions can't ride this. Let's wait until she's older."

Anya stared, pretending not to hear, and walked over to Joel, giving him a tug.
"I'll take Anya out for more fun another day, Auntie's busy today~"

Joel patted Anya's head and smiled apologetically: "If Anya is bored, she can go home and play with Ai."

Takagi Wataru was supposed to come today, but Yoru was worried about him, so he took over the protection task for today.

She was determined to catch the murderer and avenge Sato and her two dead apprentices!
"No way, I'll have to do homework when I get back," Anya muttered, then focused her attention and glanced around.

Upon seeing this, my heart fluttered again.

At first, she was thinking of helping, believing that her superpowers would allow her to quickly identify the culprit!
However, in such a large amusement park, her superpowers were completely useless, and she didn't even dare to listen.

The crowd was so large it seemed endless; if she dared to listen attentively, she would immediately bleed from all seven orifices.

Fortunately, before arriving, Anya had already learned the identity of the murderer—Kyosuke Kazato—from her father's heartfelt words, and had secretly looked at the photos.

"Since I can't use superpowers, I'll keep my eyes wide open and I'm sure I can find that suspicious person named Kazato Kyosuke."

When Xia Chuan noticed that his daughter had become inexplicably agitated again, he didn't take it seriously, assuming it was just a child's playful mood returning.

"Ania must find the murderer and restore justice to Sister Xiaolan!" Anya shouted, stretching out her small hand: "Father, give me the money."

To catch the murderer, money is definitely an essential resource.

She suspected that the ice cream vendor on her left was suspicious. He had been glancing at her several times and had even tried to tempt her with ice cream. He seemed very suspicious.
And there's StellaLou right in front of us. Although she's always selling cute StellaLou balloons, she keeps glancing this way every now and then.
The clown on the right, surrounded by many children, has a hat that's so tall it might be hiding a handgun; it's worth investigating.
Something's not right. The pictures and descriptions on that snow and ice observation deck are also suspicious. From the observation deck, you can see a panoramic view of the entire Dorobiga Amusement Park. Maybe Kyosuke Kazato is up there.

There were too many suspicious targets for Anya to count, but there was no doubt that money was needed to get in touch with them.

With her father and Aunt Joel constantly watching over Xiaolan, she was left with the most initiative and had to make her own contribution.

It's a pity we didn't bring Bond along. With his keen sense of smell and his ability to foresee the future, things might have been much simpler.

Natsukawa was also worried about Anya's safety here, so he simply gave her a few Fukuzawa Yukichi cards and told her to enjoy herself.

Of course, Xia Chuan wasn't the kind of parent who wasn't vigilant. He left a tracking device on Anya, which would trigger an alarm as soon as she left the Dorobiga amusement park.

Xia Chuan then took out two small white balls from his pocket and handed them over. These were gadgets he had casually picked up in Kaito's escape room yesterday—enhanced hypnotic gas. Although they were not lethal, they could serve a protective purpose.

"Thank you father!"

Anya left happily.

With his hands in his pockets and a youthful smile on his face, Kaito recounted Ran and Shinichi Kudo's past.

"Look, that roller coaster, do you remember it? We even encountered a case on it."

This incident was reported in the newspapers, and from then on, Shinichi Kudo faded from people's sight, while Kogoro Mouri began to rise to prominence, so Kaito had some impression of him.

"Why don't we go have some fun? Maybe it'll help us remember something."

"Eh!"

Before Ran could react, Kaito quickly grabbed her hand and ran towards the roller coaster boarding area.

Fortunately, Conan didn't see this scene, otherwise he would have been so jealous he would have smashed Kaito's face.

Ran deliberately didn't tell Conan about coming to Dorobiga Amusement Park, fearing that Conan would still risk his life if the same dangerous situation as on the platform occurred again.

Therefore, Conan was completely unaware of the appearance of "Shinichi Kudo" from beginning to end.

He left home early in the morning to meet with Dr. Agasa to investigate a medical accident that occurred seven years ago at Toto University Hospital.

Last night, Conan learned an important piece of information from a nurse at the East City University Hospital, which may be the key to solving the case.

Seven years ago, Yasushi Nino accidentally cut another surgeon's wrist during an operation, causing the surgeon to lose his prized right hand and become unable to perform surgery.

Therefore, Conan went out early in the morning to investigate the identity of the doctor from seven years ago. His intuition told him that the doctor was definitely involved in this matter.

Closer to home.

Kogoro Mouri had a sour face. Although Shinichi Kudo had given him a gift, seeing his daughter being forcibly held by the other man made the famous detective's jealousy pot sway and was about to overflow.

"That wretched brat!"

"Let's go, Uncle Mori. Isn't everything for Ran's sake, to help her regain her memories?"

Natsukawa offered a word of comfort and pushed Kogoro Mouri forward. Kaito and Ran were the fastest and had already reached the waiting area.

"Keiko said that the roller coaster is a must-ride at Dorobiga Amusement Park. Akako, are you silent because you're scared?"

In the first two seats of the roller coaster, Aoko was explaining something to Akako with great interest.

The tickets were only valid for two days, and since Kaito couldn't come, they couldn't let them go to waste, so Nakamori Aoko invited her classmate Koizumi Akako along.

Koizumi Akako initially didn't intend to agree, but a divination made her change her mind; the divination contained images of Kaito Kid!
"No way"

Upon hearing the sound, Kaito's smile froze on his face. He mechanically turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, his heart beating faster without him even realizing it.

The first thing that catches the eye is Nakamori Aoko, who is wearing a light blue dress. She has always liked this color, and this time is no exception.

Another aloof red-haired girl, even while sitting on the roller coaster, still crossed her legs and crossed her arms, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Needless to say, it was Koizumi Akako.

Done!

What are those two doing here?! Xia Chuan-ge, I want a refund, I want to go home!!!

Kaito's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

He didn't use many disguises to impersonate Shinichi Kudo, only making slight adjustments to his hairstyle. Others might not be able to tell the difference, but it's hard to say for Aoko.

Especially with Akako here, even if he were disguised as Kaito Kid, Akako would recognize him at a glance, let alone now.

"How to do how to do."

Brother Xia Chuan, help!

Kaito turned around and winked at Natsukawa.

"Keep a poker face."

Xia Chuan looked away; there was nothing he could do about it, and he could only let Kaito fend for himself.

As for Hongzi, he could put in a good word for her, but as for Qingzi, well, that's up to fate.

If Joel isn't around, he can temporarily pretend to be Kaito, but the problem is that Joel is there, so leaving the team at this time would be very inappropriate.

Kaito looked utterly defeated, but he had to pull himself together to face Ran. So he split his face in two, one half smiling and the other crying.

"Look who's here!"

Koizumi Akako smiled slightly, a playful thought creeping into her mind.

"what?"

Nakamori Aoko turned around curiously and saw a boy who looked a lot like Kaito, as well as Mouri Ran.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman walking together have a nine-tenths resemblance to a married couple; minus one point is because the person might resemble Kaito.

Nakamori Aoko narrowed her eyes and carefully observed him from head to toe.

"It looks like it, but the hairstyle is different!"

If I'm not mistaken, this should be Ran Mouri's boyfriend, Shinichi Kudo.

When they last met, she and Ran Mouri talked a lot about Kaito Kuroba and Shinichi Kudo, and one of the things they talked about was that the two of them looked like this iconic feature.

Therefore, when Nakamori Aoko first saw the other person, she thought that the man who abandoned his wife and children had returned, rather than that her childhood sweetheart was about to put his arm around someone else's shoulder.

"Xiaolan!"

Nakamori Aoko warmly greeted them, "Are you here to ride the roller coaster too? You can come and sit with us."

"Is this...calling me?" Ran looked back at "Shinichi Kudo" with a puzzled expression, wanting to know from him whether she knew him.

"Uh, let's go play something else. That guy looks shifty and doesn't seem like a good person."

"But she looks a bit like me."

Xiao Lan suddenly looked at him with wide eyes, sensing that this so-called childhood sweetheart was subtly criticizing him.

"Let's go, there's no escaping it."

Xia Chuan pushed and shoved them from behind, forcing them to sit in the second row.

After doing all that, he and Joel took their seats.

Joel maintained a serious expression throughout, remaining vigilant for any suspicious individuals appearing within ten meters.

Xia Chuan was also puzzled, as Kazato Kyosuke had not appeared in his sight until now.

If he hadn't known that the other party had entered the Dorobiga Amusement Park before noon, he might have thought that the other party didn't intend to make a move.

Kyosuke Kazato is definitely somewhere in the amusement park, brewing some kind of plan!
Xia Chuan looked down at the camera wrapped around his wrist. It was the latest digital camera, with top-of-the-line pixels and ample storage space. It could record for about two hours at the highest bitrate and clarity, and its standby time exceeded three hours.
