The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Ah, no wonder that guy was so unwilling to tell us where the gem was at first.

In Kaito Kuroba's plan, Yu Aragaki would disguise himself as Kaito Kid, steal a jewel from the target, return the jewel to Conan, and then parachute from the plane to escape using a hang glider.

Goodness, this is really dangerous.

If it weren't for the fact that Aragaki Yu had Tengu and the others as insurance, he would never have agreed to this plan.

Chapter 750 Plan B

"I even dressed up specially for today, and then it rained!"

Suddenly, Sonoko's voice came from behind them.

Aragaki Yu turned around and saw Sonoko appearing gracefully behind them at some point.

Just as she said, Sonoko had indeed dressed up deliberately today.

Her cropped top accentuated her slender waist, and the off-white knit fabric made her skin appear even whiter. The mint green baseball jacket she wore was loosely draped over her shoulders, with the zipper only half-zipped up. Her A-line skirt just covered her hips, and the matching green plaid swayed gently with her steps, making her look exceptionally pure and beautiful.

That said, if Sonoko hadn't always worn a hair clip that obscured much of her beauty, she wouldn't have ended up being relegated to being Ran's foil every time they went to the beach.

"You're not uninterested in performances or anything, so why did you agree to go to the celebration party in Hakodate this time?" Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn to Sonoko, Ai Haibara quietly walked to Yu Aragaki's side, tugged at his sleeve, and asked.

“Well…” Aragaki Yu glanced at Haibara Ai and explained with a smile, “Actually, it’s because there’s a guy I’m quite concerned about.”

"Someone you care about!?" Ai Haibara was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Then, she suddenly frowned and looked at the other side of the big screen.

Meanwhile, Kogoro Mouri and Ran were chatting with the crew members who had invited them to a celebration banquet in Hakodate.

Who is it?

Xiao Lan?

Are they still members of that theater troupe?

Is it Ms. Maki Juri, the female lead in the stage play, or her makeup artist, Ms. Sakai Natsuki, or her assistant, Ms. Yaguchi Masayo?

Could it be that married lady, Miss Emperor?!

Seeing Ai Haibara's gaze wandering over everyone, Yuu Aragaki knew exactly what she was thinking. The next second, he couldn't help but gently tap Ai Haibara's head and explain, "I was talking about that guy, Kid."

"Kid!?" Ai Haibara raised her head in confusion, looking at Yuu Aragaki.

Didn't that guy Kid already disguise himself as Shinichi Kudo and try to steal the jewel last night?

The stage play production team invited them to the celebration banquet to thank everyone for protecting the sapphire from Kid.

Judging from Aragaki Yu's ceremony, does that mean Kidd would actually try to steal this gem?

Just as Ai Haibara was confused, Yu Aragaki found the teaser letter that Kaito Kid had given to the film crew, which he had saved on his phone. It was a photo that he had specifically asked Kogoro Mouri for.

Romeo

Juliet

【conqueror】

【Cheers! 】

[Amidst the fluttering and intertwining of these 26 letters, I will retrieve that jewel of destiny—Phantom Thief Kid (Part 1)]

In addition, there is a playing card that has been torn in half in the photo.

Is there a problem with this notice?

Ai Haibara was already aware of the contents of the notice, but she didn't notice anything amiss.

"Although I didn't go to the stage play yesterday because of some things, I still feel that Kidd's actions last night were a bit too simplistic, which is completely out of character for him."

In fact, Yuu Aragaki had no idea what Kaito Kid had done last night; it was all just an excuse that Kaito Kid had come up with for him.

"It wasn't until I learned that you were taking a flight from Haneda Airport to Hakodate today that I realized the true meaning of this notice."

Yuu Aragaki pointed to the announcement letter in the photo on his phone and explained to Ai Haibara, "Actually, the four individual English letters that Kid stands out above this announcement letter refer to the communication code."

"You mean communication codes?" Ai Haibara opened her mouth in surprise, wondering how Yu Aragaki had connected them together.

"That's right. These are codes used during wireless communication in flight to avoid mishearing. Romeo represents R, Juliet represents J, the Conqueror represents V, and the Cheer represents B."

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara, who was also aware of all this, subconsciously nodded in agreement with Yuu Aragaki's view, "So the meaning of the 26 letters flying and intertwining in Kaito Kid's notice is that he is foreshadowing that he will commit a crime on a plane that uses those letters!"

"That's right, and it's on the plane from Tokyo to Hakodate, which is the plane we're about to board."

"Why? It's possible we could return?" Ai Haibara was about to voice a different opinion, but when she recalled the playing card that had appeared with the notice, she immediately realized, "It's that playing card!"

“That’s right.” Yuu Aragaki nodded and gave Ai Haibara a thumbs up for her quick thinking. “He tore the two of spades in half, which means that odd numbers that cannot be divided by 2 are the only odd numbers, like this flight 865, while return flights are all even numbers.”

Ai Haibara finally understood the purpose of Kaito Kid's appearance at the stage play yesterday: "In other words, Kaito Kid deliberately misled everyone yesterday, making everyone think that his plan had failed, so that everyone would lower their guard!"

No wonder Kaito Kid disguised himself as Shinichi Kudo to appear in front of Conan; he was afraid of not being able to control Conan's hatred level.

Yuu Aragaki was right; all of this was indeed a plan devised by that kid Kaito Kuroba.

Unexpectedly, the initial plan was only halfway implemented when it went bankrupt due to Nakamori Aoko's invitation.

Left with no other choice, he resorted to Plan B, which never even existed in the first place, and asked Aragaki Yu to save the day. The original plan simply became an excuse for Aragaki Yu to board the plane.

After all, if they initially refused Ran Mouri's invitation but then suddenly changed their minds and wanted to board the plane, it would easily attract attention.

"Should we tell Kogoro Mouri about this?" Ai Haibara glanced at Conan standing with the children, almost letting slip the secret in front of Yuu Aragaki.

“Well, that’s something,” Yuu Aragaki explained with a smile. “Actually, I already told Kogoro Mouri about this when I asked him to let me go to Hakodate with him.”

However, Kogoro Mouri didn't seem to take it to heart at the time, while Conan, who was eavesdropping nearby, had an expression that said, "I knew it."

Actually, as the key figure who stopped Kaito Kid from stealing the jewel last night, Conan is the one most confused by Kaito Kid's strange behavior last night.

After Aragaki Yu explained the situation, Conan immediately confirmed the possibility that Aragaki Yu had mentioned.

Chapter 751 Boarding, Unexpected Visitor

Check-in is now open for Sky Japan Airlines flight 865 to Hakodate, scheduled to depart at 18:15 PM.

After Yuu Aragaki and Professor Agasa thanked the members of the performance troupe, everyone gathered together to prepare to board the plane.

It has to be said that some people deserve to make a living based on their looks.

Even Ms. Maki, a female celebrity, instinctively left Kogoro Mouri, who was standing next to her, and moved closer to Yu Aragaki after meeting him in person.

Under Kogoro Mouri's murderous gaze, Yuu Aragaki subconsciously took a half step back. As his gaze swept over the pink blush on Juri Maki's face, he quietly squatted down and tied Ai Haibara's shoelaces beside him. "How could you be so careless? You didn't even notice that your shoelaces were untied."

"..."

Ai Haibara coldly stared at Yuu Aragaki, who was squatting in front of her, opened her mouth but didn't know what to say for a moment.

Don't think she didn't notice; it was Aragaki Yu who deliberately stepped on his own shoelaces while backing away.

And now he's blaming himself for being careless.

Ugh, what a despicable man!

However, she guessed Aragaki Yu's purpose immediately, so she naturally didn't point out Aragaki Yu's little trick just now.

Looking at Aragaki Yuu squatting in front of her and Maki Juri standing awkwardly to the side, she didn't even notice that the corners of her mouth had inadvertently turned up slightly.

"Great, we can board the plane now!"

The Junior Detective League's voices exploded like saviors. Genta, holding his boarding pass, jumped and rushed forward, with Mitsuhiko pulling on Ayumi's sleeve and following closely behind.

Taking the opportunity, Yuu Aragaki stood up and gave Juri Maki a polite nod. As he turned around, he heard a low murmur behind him, "She's a high school detective, but she has more charisma than those idol stars. I wonder if she has a chance..."

……

In her cabin seat, Ayumi couldn't help but rock back and forth a couple of times in the spacious seat, exclaiming, "Wow, it's so soft and cozy!"

Dr. Agasa: "This feels pretty good!"

"It feels just like being a big boss," Genta exclaimed softly as he looked around.

"Only Sky Japan Airlines has a first-class cabin on the second floor of its domestic routes!" Mitsuhiko, sitting next to Genta, nodded in deep agreement.

It must be said that the performance troupe is indeed very wealthy. Perhaps to avoid being disturbed by ordinary passengers, they even booked the entire first-class cabin on the second floor of the plane.

However, this didn't evoke any particular feeling in Yuu Aragaki.

At this very moment, he was sitting in his airplane seat, eyes closed, thinking about how to steal the sapphire that Phantom Thief Kid had mentioned.

Otherwise...

Why not have the Snow Woman sneakily take the gem from Makijuri and give it to me, then I can transform into Kaito Kid and show my face with the gem?

However, if you were to jump from such a height, even with a hang glider...

Well, maybe we should wait until the plane is about to land before making our move.

Just as Aragaki Yu was racking his brains over this, Sonoko, who was sitting in front of him, asked Ran beside her in confusion, "Ran, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking back? What are you looking at?"

Upon hearing Sonoko's words, Aragaki Yuya couldn't help but open his eyes and glance at Ran in the front row.

Come to think of it, Xiaolan seemed to have been behaving strangely ever since she boarded the plane.

From the moment she sat down, she couldn't help but look back towards the plane door, as if she were waiting for someone to appear.
