Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 447 A Special Family

The zoo's actions this time have truly broadened Kaito's understanding.

However, he quickly accepted it.

Kaito sighed helplessly: "Actually, when I saw the news, I went to Nishitama City immediately. It's a pity that the zoo's base was blown up. Otherwise, I might have been able to find some clues."

They had hoped this might be a breakthrough, but the distillery moved too quickly, alerting them.

"Oki Iwatsu is dead. He was also a code name member of the zoo. Snake and Peter Ford were both shot. It shouldn't affect your search for Pandora anytime soon."

Kaito pursed his lips. Natsukawa made it sound like he was scared. It's just a zoo. He could easily handle it by himself.

Just like Snake, every time he appears, he still gets completely outmaneuvered. If Snake hadn't been so lucky, and if he hadn't been so unwilling to kill, the other person would have died countless times.

That said, could the legend of Pandora be false?
Over the years, I've handled countless gems, but none of them have been confirmed to be Pandora.

There are suspicions that it might be Pandora, but it's just suspicion and hasn't been verified yet.

He has been undergoing various examinations recently, but the results have been mediocre, even somewhat frustrating.

It seems the only way to verify this is, as the short, chubby uncle at the zoo said, to wait for a certain astronomical phenomenon.

When a comet passes by Earth, the real Pandora Gem will shed a tear. This tear is the substance of immortality, which can achieve the goal of longevity whether studied or consumed directly.

It's quite absurd, but compared to Conan and Ai Haibara's situations, Kaito finds Akako's red magic quite reasonable. If the Black Organization can shrink people, why can't the zoo make them immortal?
Kaito himself has no interest in immortality; the reason he keeps opposing the zoo is mainly for revenge.

Since his father died because of the zoo, and the zoo's goal is the Pandora Gem, he chose to find the real Pandora Gem and destroy it since he couldn't destroy the organization for the time being!
"By the way, I heard that a guy called Black Crow, the Phantom Thief, has recently appeared in the United States. You can keep an eye on him when you have time."

Xia Chuan took out a photo from his pocket. The phantom thief in the photo was completely black, surrounded by black crow feathers, forming a stark contrast with the phantom thief Kid.

"It's probably just a copycat; Kaito Kid is one of a kind!"

Kaito curled his lip in disdain. Besides, he was mostly active in Japan these days. As for the phantom thief in the United States, it was enough to know; there was no need to delve into it. At least he had no contact with him.

Xia Chuan raised an eyebrow, then swallowed his words. Since Kaito didn't seem to care, he decided not to reveal for the time being that the other person might be his biological father.

Xia Chuan's main purpose in coming here was not to chat idly; after the appetizers, he immediately got down to business.

Baileys might request the police department's files at any time, and Natsukawa can't wait until things get really bad before addressing the issue.

The main purpose of coming to find Kaito was to have him disguise himself as a police officer and enter the Metropolitan Police Department's archives, and then secretly change Yoel's personal information.

As for why he didn't go himself?
Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise. Since there are professional phantom thieves, why bother to do it yourself?

Having at least helped Kaito eliminate one of the Zoo members, and even caused the destruction of one of their bases, this kind of loss was definitely something Kaito would be happy to see.

Kaito agreed to Natsukawa's request without hesitation.

Whenever Ginzo Nakamori makes a plan, he always finds a way to sneak in and watch, or directly participate in the Kaito Kid counter-attack conference, so going to the Metropolitan Police Department is no different from going home.

"Don't worry, wrap it on me!"

Kaito pounded his chest and then took the documents from Natsukawa's hand.

"By the way, is Sister Yor really the Thorn Princess?"

She seemed like such a gentle and intellectual older sister, yet she was a top assassin feared throughout the underworld. Joel's smile and the Thorn Princess's decisive and ruthless nature were simply incompatible.

That said, the Xia Chuan family is, how should I put it, quite special.

A killer mother, a spy father, a foolish younger sister, a cold older sister...

"Why would I lie to you? So be careful when you take action. You probably mostly searched the Second Division's territory before. This time, the target's archives and the combat training ground are on the same floor. Make sure to take action when Joel isn't at the Metropolitan Police Department."

Kaito nodded vigorously; he didn't want to be pierced through by the golden cone either.

After their conversation, Kaito showed Natsukawa his equipment.

Recently, it seems that Nakamori Ginzo's resistance to hypnotic gas has increased somewhat, and Kaito is researching how much to add to it.

Too many spies would be bad for his father-in-law's health, and too few would endanger his own life. With Xia Chuan still around, the top spy could test his effectiveness and see if there was any room for adjustment.

This made Xia Chuan interested.

Xia Chuan had no interest in trying the effects of hypnotic gas, and besides, he had undergone professional training and had a strong tolerance to it, so it was not a reliable indicator.

However, when it comes to hypnotic effects, Natsukawa has to boast about Yoel's culinary extract.

Kaito accepted the food extract with a puzzled look in his eyes, his mind filled with questions.

Why would Xia Chuan carry extracts of Yoel's cuisine with him every day when he goes out? It sounds a bit perverted, and he doesn't even dare to think about it too much.

Noticing Kaito's strange gaze, Natsukawa pretended not to see it and offered no explanation.

You can't exactly tell Kaito that he's been making a little bit of this infusion every day lately, slowly building up his tolerance to Yoel's cooking.

This operation sounds very abnormal.

In addition to the hypnotic gas, Kaito also upgraded his poker gun.

Although a large portion of the equipment was purchased by Terai Kinosuke through Professor Agasa's channels, Kaito sometimes researches and develops some functions on his own.

His IQ of 400 is no joke, and only this kind of creative and imaginative equipment can pose a challenge to him.

After Kaito's poker gun is upgraded, it can include, but is not limited to, splitting a poker card into ten, causing the poker card to explode, and allowing the poker card to spin.

It can even switch modes to fire grappling hooks, smoke bombs, and concentrated fishing nets.
Originally, Kaito might have needed multiple poker guns, but now only one is needed; it just requires adjusting the configuration beforehand.

Xia Chuan looked it over from all angles, even grabbing a screwdriver to try and open it up to see if there was a four-dimensional pocket hidden inside.

It's one thing to pull something out of thin air, but for such a small playing card gun to shoot out so many things is just outrageous.

Calling him a space magician would be perfectly reasonable.

There were also quite a few other bizarre pieces of equipment. After carefully exploring the Phantom Thief's Secret Room, Xia Chuan felt that his ability to accept this world had improved to a new level.

In terms of being unscientific, only Conan can compare to Kaito, although the two have different focuses in terms of their unscientific aspects.
