Gin doesn't want to work hard

Kogoro Mouri was startled by that gaze.

He couldn't help but speak.

"Hey, old lady, why are you looking at me like that?"

"I haven't offended you, have I?"

Chima Kazuyo chuckled twice.

"of course not."

"I just doubt whether you are the real Kogoro Mouri."

hiss!

Kaito Kid's heart skipped a beat.

what happened?

Is he having Mercury retrograde today?

Why is everyone starting to doubt him?

Kurosawa is one thing, but it can be explained by a sixth sense.

Where did this guy find that out?

Or did his disguise actually slip up?

But it shouldn't be...

After all, even that little brat didn't notice anything amiss.

The next moment, Phantom Thief Kid felt another sharp gaze coming from behind.

However, upon hearing what Senma Kazuyo said, Conan subconsciously began to carefully observe "Kogoro Mouri".

Poker face, poker face!

Hold on, hold on!

Kaito Kid secretly cheered himself up.

Kogoro Mouri immediately put on an angry look.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Saying such nonsensical things at a time like this, are you some kind of ancient mountain demon who came out to scare people on purpose?"

Kogoro Mouri spoke bluntly, expressing his dissatisfaction directly.

Senma Kōdai did not change her opinion because of this.

"To describe a lady as a mountain village monster is not in line with your reputation as a gentleman, Phantom Thief Kid!"

"Kaitou Kidd?!"

Ran Mouri and Kogoro Mouri both exclaimed in surprise.

Conan seemed to have anticipated this.

Conan: "Grandma, why do you think Uncle is Kaito Kid in disguise?"

Kogoro Mouri: "What does this have to do with Kaito Kid?"

The two asked the question almost simultaneously.

Kogoro Mouri glanced at Conan when he had a spare moment.

"You wretched brat, how could you believe what this old woman said?!"

Judging from his appearance, if he weren't tied up, Conan would definitely have two more bumps on his head.

Conan shrank back and chuckled sheepishly, "I was just curious."

Senma Kōdai smiled.

"Before we begin, let me introduce myself."

"My name is Senma Kazuyo, and I am a detective."

"Senma Kazuyo?" Ran Mouri exclaimed, seemingly having heard of the name before.

"He is indeed a very famous detective."

"Even a famous detective shouldn't just slander people like that, right?"

"They even said I was Phantom Thief Kid in disguise? That's ridiculous!"

"I think she's just an ordinary old woman who doesn't live up to her name!"

"Kogoro Mouri" said sarcastically.

"father!"

Ran Mouri felt his attitude was a bit excessive, but she still tried to explain.

"But Dad definitely can't be Kaito Kid."

"After all, we've always been together."

"Even Kaito Kid couldn't just switch people out of thin air, could he?"

No, we weren't always together.

Conan retorted in his mind.

Uncle Mori had spent some time alone at the gas station before.

Could it be that it was around that time?

Before he could think it through, Senma Kōdai continued.

"Your father was very likely replaced from the very beginning."

At the beginning?

Conan was stunned for a moment.

"If I remember correctly, Mr. Mori should be a heavy smoker."

"But judging from the cigarette butts in the ashtray, he hasn't smoked for at least several hours."

"This is not the behavior of a heavy smoker."

Upon hearing this, Kaito Kid knew he was safe.

I thought they had discovered some serious flaw.

Is this the result?

Although he wasn't entirely sure why Kogoro Mouri hadn't smoked before.

But it's highly likely related to Kurosawa.

After all, Ran and Conan have always lived with Kogoro Mouri, so it's impossible for him to suddenly make changes for them.

Thinking of this, Kaito Kid's lips curled into a sneer.

"Hmph, what a famous detective, he's just a pretty face after all."

"I don't smoke, it's only because of this guy."

"Kogoro Mouri" refers to Kurosawa.

Ran Mouri nodded in agreement.

"Kurosawa-san stayed up all night last night, so he's catching up on sleep in the car."

“After Dad rolled up the car window, he never smoked again.”

Kurosawa, who was suddenly mentioned, paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Senma Kōdai was somewhat surprised.

"I never expected Mr. Mori to be so considerate?"

"Kogoro Mouri" snorted coldly, speaking arrogantly.

"After all, I'm the one who brought this kid here."

"What if he catches a cold by accident and I have to take responsibility?"

Senma Kōdai chuckled twice.

"Haha, Mr. Mori, you're quite an interesting fellow."

"Okay, I apologize for questioning your actions earlier."

"Although I did consider this possibility, I still couldn't resist testing the waters."

"After all, this is Phantom Thief Kid!"

"It is something that every detective wants to capture."

"So what does this have to do with Kaito Kid?" Kogoro Mouri asked, feigning ignorance.

"Now that things have come to this, there's no need to play dumb anymore, is there?"

Senma Kazuyo clearly didn't believe that Kogoro Mouri really didn't know.

"You must have come because of that invitation, right?"

"At the end of the letter, in the signature section, the guy who calls himself 'the phantom of God's forsaken child' is none other than Kaito Kid."

"what?!"

Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri exclaimed in surprise again.

"But how did we arrive at that conclusion?"

Is there any connection between "The Phantom of God's Forsaken Child" and Phantom Thief Kid?

Mao Lilan asked.

Chima Kazuyo glanced at her and patiently began to explain.

Kogoro Mouri noticed that after Kazuyo Senma finished explaining the matter related to Kaito Kid, Kurosawa, who was standing next to him, once again turned his gaze to him.
