Detective Conan: I, with my magical powers, am going to destroy the world!

Akasuke and Sonoko continued to browse the exhibition hall, with Sonoko clinging to Akasuke's arm as if she were hanging on him.

Not long after, the emergency exit door in the lobby was opened, and Conan ran in, panting heavily.

Conan looked serious and turned to glance around.

Seeing Chi Chufeng leisurely strolling around, and then looking at myself exhausted, I suddenly felt that the scene was a bit off.

Her lips twitched twice: "Brother Akaso, Sister Sonoko, why didn't you two go catch Phantom Thief Kid together just now?"

"You guys? You think you can catch Phantom Thief Kid?"

Yuanzi's eyes had a touch of Chichu Feng's charm.

“Kaito Kid never left the hall.”

“Just now, Akachu-san and I were face to face with him.”

"What? Where?" Conan stamped his foot and said.

"I chased after him, but quickly realized something was wrong. Although the emergency exit door shook slightly, that didn't necessarily mean Kaito Kid escaped through the main door."

"Kaito Kid must have transformed into someone else the instant the flashbang went off, and brazenly remained in the lobby."

Sonoko rolled her eyes at Conan.

"You took so long to think of that?"

“Akachu-san thought of that right away.”

"You didn't see the miserable look on Kidd's face."

"If it weren't for his pitiful state and the fact that he hadn't done anything wrong, Chichu-san and I wouldn't have let him go."

"What? You let them go?"

Conan looked frustrated, and felt a tiny bit like he wanted to vomit blood.

I risked my life to catch the phantom thief for you.

You, on the other hand, just let them go so easily.

Then all my work today was for nothing?

However, it's definitely too late to catch up now.

Kaito Kid's terrifying ability to disguise himself and his speed.

Leaving for ten seconds can leave you completely bewildered, let alone leaving for several minutes.

"Since he's already left, there's nothing we can do. Fortunately, I've already cracked his code."

"Next, all we need to do is set up a tight net and wait quietly."

A cold glint flashed in Conan's eyes.

Chapter 119 Conan Shivering in the Cold Wind

After midnight, on the rooftop of the Beika Municipal Hotel.

Conan stood at the edge of the building, striking a cool pose.

There was a firework at his feet; if it were set off, a large number of police officers would arrive immediately.

Kogoro Mouri, Shintaro Chaki, Ginzo Nakamori, and several police officers hid at the entrance to the safety passage leading to the roof.

More than two hundred police officers were stationed below the Beika Municipal Hotel, awaiting the arrival of Phantom Thief Kid.

At the entrance to the passage, Uncle Mori raised his hand and looked at his watch: "It'll be 12:30 in a minute. Will Phantom Thief Kid really come?"

"They will definitely come." Chaki Shintaro was absolutely certain and very confident.

"Since his notice said that, of course he won't not come!"

Nakamori Ginzo nodded in agreement.

Kogoro Mouri hesitated before speaking, "But didn't Akaso-san say that Kaito Kid has already gone far away and won't be coming tonight?"

"Also, Sonoko's family and Ran trust him a lot, so they didn't come tonight at all."

"What do 387 charlatans know? Phantom Thief Kid will definitely come!"

As the superintendent of the Second Investigation Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Department, Chaki Shintaro firmly believes in Kaito Kid's integrity.

They also look down on professions like Onmyoji.

If we could catch criminals just by using divination, what would be the point of having police officers?

A minute passed quickly, and it was 12:30.

Chaki Shintaro looked around seriously: "Everyone be careful, Phantom Thief Kid should have arrived by now. Let's wait quietly for him to show himself."

"Okay." The others nodded in agreement.

Under the cover of night, a cold wind blew in. Conan stood in the biting wind, his expression wary, observing his surroundings.

Damn, why do I feel a bit cold?

He silently wrapped his little coat tighter around himself.

Just hang in there a little longer. Once I catch Phantom Thief Kid, I'll finally be able to hold my head high.

Then we'll see if Chi Chufeng still dares to look down on me.

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes had passed. Conan raised his hand to look at his watch: "Strange, Kaito Kid hasn't arrived yet."

"Why hasn't he arrived yet? Could it be that we've misdeciphered the code?"

At the entrance to the passage, Uncle Mori also had some doubts.

"There's no way it could be wrong, it's definitely here, and the timing is perfect too."

Chaki Shintaro's voice came through the walkie-talkie, "Let's keep waiting, that guy will definitely come!"

He was so cold he couldn't stand it anymore, so he said he was going downstairs to take control of the situation and hid in the warm car.

Only Kogoro Mouri and Ginzo Nakamori remained, struggling to hold on in the cold wind.

"He must have discovered us and is thinking about how to deal with us, right?"

"I said, frowning."

"But it doesn't matter. Since the Phantom Thief Kid has sent out a notice, he will definitely appear, no matter how many people are there!"

Seeing his insistence, Kogoro Mouri could only nod in agreement, "Let's wait a little longer."

By this time, Conan, who was on the edge of the rooftop, was almost frozen solid.

He shrank back and hid under the parapet.

Luckily, he's small, so he can barely block the wind.

Damn it, Kaito Kid, are you even a woman?

Why are you taking so long to keep an appointment?

They have absolutely no sense of time.

I checked my watch, and there were still three hours left.

Damn it!

Conan was so cold that he lit the lighter he was using to set off fireworks.

In the firelight, he seemed to see a warm home and the pure and kind-hearted Xiaolan.

She was... nestled happily in Chi Chufeng's arms.

So heartbroken~

Conan silently turned off the lighter and continued to shiver in the cold wind.

Soon, an hour passed...

Two hours have passed...

Three hours later...

It was past four o'clock when Nakamori Ginzo raised his hand to check his watch.

Then, with a "sneeze," he stepped out from the corner and roared, "Damn it! The agreed time has passed, and Phantom Thief Kid hasn't shown up at all!"

Downstairs, hearing his roar, the more than two hundred policemen, shivering from the cold, all looked at each other in silence.

Kogoro Mouri rubbed his nose and said, "I knew I should have listened to my son-in-law. He was right, Kaito Kid really didn't come."

At the edge of the building, Conan looked like he was about to cry.

Someone please save me!

I'm so frozen I can't move.

I had already thought of that half an hour ago.

Today is April Fool's Day.

Kaito Kid could easily use this as an excuse not to come.
