Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 38 Kuroba Kaito
"Huh?" Kaito Kuroba scratched his head. "What Shinichi Kudo? I don't know him. And what Ran-neechan? I don't know her either. Kid, are you sure you've got the right people?"

"Hmm? Sister Xiaolan? Tell me more, little one."

Nakamori Aoko's eyes were uneven (0_o), and her suspicious gaze swept back and forth over Kaito.

"No, Ayumi has mistaken you for someone else. You're not Shinichi Kudo, are you?" Conan stepped in to smooth things over. "You're probably just someone who looks a lot like Shinichi Kudo."

"Kid, it's that guy who looks a lot like me, not me who looks a lot like him." Kaito Kuroba lifted Conan up unhappily and said this with dead fish eyes, face to face.

Although he didn't know Shinichi Kudo, he was obviously aware that he and Shinichi Kudo looked very similar, given that Shinichi Kudo had been making headlines recently and was quite well-known.

"Hehe, you clearly look like Shinichi-nii!"

The boy's inexplicable competitive spirit made Conan unwilling to give in.

What's there to be afraid of? With Uncle Xia Chuan around, this little Karami who looks like me will be knocked down with one punch anyway.

"Uncle Xia Chuan!"

Conan calls out to the Junior Detective League shuttle bus driver, "This older brother is bullying someone!"

So embarrassing x3
The same thought popped into the minds of Conan, Natsukawa, and Anya.

Xia Chuan didn't make a move, and Anya chuckled to herself.

Conan was still being carried.

"Watch your mouth, kid." Kaito Kuroba was a little annoyed, but he still put Conan back on the ground, clapped his hands, and said:

"My name is Kaito Kuroba. I'm not the kind of arrogant detective who always flaunts that he's the savior of the Metropolitan Police Department. I haven't been around lately. Could it be that I offended someone I shouldn't have while investigating a case and got taken care of?"

Just like his father. He didn't say it aloud, but only silently in his heart.

"If you know Shinichi Kudo, you should advise him that being high-profile isn't always a good thing."

With that, Kaito Kuroba put one hand in his pocket and used the other to push Aoko Nakamori toward the front desk.

Xia Chuan:.
How dare Phantom Thief Kid criticize others for being high-profile?
Which thief would send a notice before stealing? Besides, Kaito Kid probably has more fans than Shinichi Kudo.

The one who should keep a low profile is Phantom Thief Kid.

Oh no.

At this point, he may have just learned that his father, Kuroba Toichi, was the Phantom Thief Kid who disappeared eight years ago, and that he had not yet officially taken over the profession of Phantom Thief Kid.

Xia Chuan remembered that just a few days ago, Frank had mentioned the Phantom Thief Kid. The other party must have just taken over the family business and was getting familiar with the identity of Phantom Thief Kid. It seemed that his official debut was not far away.

Neon lights are such strange things; even Kaito Kid followed in his father's footsteps.
A politician's child is a politician, a banker's child is a banker, and Kaito Kid's child is Kaito Kid. So why did Yusaku Kudo, who is a novelist and detective work is just a side job, inherit the profession of detective instead of novelist?
This is a question that deserves serious consideration.

"What a strange guy, Kaito Kuroba," Conan muttered to himself, his attention completely focused on the two people at the front desk, having lost all interest in eating.

"Does Conan know Shinichi Kudo?" Natsukawa asked with a faint smile.

Conan nodded, without asking why Natsukawa hadn't rescued him earlier. That scene was really awkward; the acting was too forceful and too fake.

"In that case, you must convey what that guy named Kaito Kuroba just said to Shinichi Kudo. I think what he said makes a lot of sense."

"Okay!" Conan replied cutely, "I'll tell Shinichi."

Hehe, he's dissing Conan's main account in front of him, and he's pretending to be innocent and cute. It's so funny.

Front desk.

The childhood sweethearts are ordering food.

"Hello, please give me a family bucket, two hamburgers, two Cokes, and a serving of fries."

"Hey, don't order so much and waste it! We definitely can't finish it. You don't really want to become a fat old lady, do you?"

boom!
Kaito Kuroba's head was slammed onto the front desk.

"Huh?" Nakamori Aoko looked surprised, covered her mouth, and said somewhat 'embarrassed':

"I thought your head would escape magic too, I'm so sorry, Kaito~"

"N-nothing, I'm invincible and diamond-hard, this little problem won't bother me." Kaito Kuroba grinned, a red mark appearing on his left cheek, clearly showing that Aoko Nakamori was quite strong.

"Aoko, have you been practicing karate lately? How come you're so strong!"

"It's probably just that you're weak." Nakamori Aoko glanced at the menu behind the counter, put her finger to her lips, and said, "Don't McDonald's sell fish? I wanted grilled fish."

"Please, McDonald's only has fried chicken, okay? Are you doing this on purpose? You know I hate fish the most, even cooked fish."

"Humph."

Xia Chuan was speechless at the flirtatious banter at the front desk. This display of affection couldn't go on forever! It was time to stop! "Let's go after we finish eating," Xia Chuan said, glancing at the five members of the Junior Detective Club to make sure they were all full before taking them home.

After dropping off Ayumi and the other two and getting them home, it was already very late.

What a busy day.

Flying a helicopter during the day and driving a children's shuttle bus at night, today was a bit too fulfilling.

"Conan, we're here."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Xia Chuan."

Conan, carrying his small schoolbag and looking preoccupied, got out of the car and headed towards the stairs of the Mouri Detective Agency. Just as Natsukawa was about to turn and drive home, he heard Anya's exclamation.

"Ah! It's Bond! Bond has run away! Father, look!"

"Really?" Xia Chuan was a little surprised. Bond was quite well-behaved, yet it would run to the main road on its own. Was it because it hadn't been walked for the past two days and was too bored at home?

Following Anya's pointing finger, Xia Chuan did indeed see a large dog. Its fluffy white fur made its entire body appear much larger. It was sitting at the entrance of Poirot Cafe, its eyes fixed on something.

"Bond?" Xia Chuan called out.

"Woof!" the dog barked as it turned around.

Once he confirmed it was his dog, Xia Chuan unlocked the passenger door. "Ania, go check on it. I'll park the car in the garage first."

"Okay~"

When Xia Chuan parked his car and arrived at the entrance of Poirot Cafe, he saw Anya and Bond, along with their dog, squatting in front of the cafe's floor-to-ceiling windows, staring intently inside.

"what happened?"

Xia Chuan asked.

“That lady is so pretty,” Anya said, pointing to someone inside the cafe.

Because it was late, Poirot Cafe was almost closing time, and there were only two people sitting inside, a man and a woman.

Are these two on a date?

He recognized the woman; she was the same woman he had exchanged glances with twice yesterday.

If the man hadn't been wearing a suit, Xia Chuan might have thought he was a boy.

Because he looks very young, he looks like a junior high school student at most.

"Alright, Anya, that's very impolite~" Xia Chuan hugged Anya and patted Bond next to him, signaling him to go home.

It seems this guy opened the door and ran out by himself. All the windows in the house were closed normally, and there was only some dog hair left on the doorknob.

He seems to be quite intelligent. At first, Xia Chuan thought Bond had jumped out of the second-floor window.

"Hey, what are Anya and Mr. Xia Chuan doing? Would you like to come in and sit down?" Xia Benzi poked half her head out, looking at the two people and the dog at the door. "Are you taking Bond out for a walk?"

"We came out for a walk, and it's already quite late, so we won't go in and cause you any trouble."

Xia Chuan scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

We can't let the two little ones show up staring at the cafe like perverts; that would definitely be misunderstood.

"I see!" Xia Benzi said, but her eyes followed the direction Anya and Bond were looking.

"Hmm? Are you looking at Miss Joel and her brother Mr. Yuri?"

"Hehe, it's probably because they were also holding cocoa. Kids shouldn't drink cocoa every day. I don't let her drink it, and this is what happened."

"Indeed, it's not good for children to drink too much cocoa. The shop is about to close, and I have to get back to work. Sorry." Xia Benzi smiled, didn't say anything more, and turned back to the coffee shop.

Xia Chuan smiled and nodded, then looked down at Bond.

"Hurry up and leave!"

However, the dog remained motionless.

resignedly.

With Anya in his left hand and Bond in his right, Xia Chuan carried them into his home.

Thank you Liu Buyu for the monthly pass.
