Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

"I can't help but look forward to it! A duel between a kendo champion and a phantom thief is a rare sight indeed!" Xiaolan couldn't help but exclaim with anticipation.

Miyazawa Suzuna chimed in, "Yeah, I was so excited I couldn't sleep all night. I even dreamt about Miyazaki-nii fighting the phantom thief. Miyazaki-nii knocked the phantom thief to the ground with one sword, and he could only slink away to the police. So pitiful."

He couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

Miyazaki Yu couldn't help but smile: "You're all too optimistic. Although I'm confident enough in my abilities, this Phantom Thief Kid is no ordinary opponent."

It is said that this person is quite skilled at disguise, able to impersonate others at will, and even those familiar with him would find it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. He can also imitate other people's voices without any props.

Both girls were taken aback. The ability to easily impersonate others and avoid being easily discovered by acquaintances was terrifying enough.

People are less wary and less defensive towards familiar people, making it extremely difficult to resist their intrusion, especially when they can mimic voices—it's practically flawless.

Kogoro Mouri scoffed and said, "It's not as strange as you say. He's just a thief. This time, I, the great detective Kogoro Mouri, will show my skills and bring these thieves to justice. That way, that guy Megure will definitely look at me with new respect."

Miyazaki Yu smiled slightly: "No, this person should be even more troublesome than the ones we know so far, right, Kaito Kid!"

Kogoro Mouri was taken aback: "What? Kaito Kid? There he is?"

The group exchanged glances, all showing expressions of fear. Could it be that the Phantom Thief had already infiltrated their ranks?

However, Miyazaki Yu stretched out two fingers and slowly reached behind the passenger seat, taking out something from the gap—a round listening device.

"This is a bugging device? What's going on?" Kogoro Mouri was both shocked and furious. There was a bugging device in this car.

The driver was also startled, not knowing when such a thing had appeared in the car. Wouldn't this make him a suspect?

Startled, he quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road and began to explain.

"I had no idea there would be such a thing in the car. I really didn't put it there."

Miyazaki Yu smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, driver. I didn't suspect you. It seems this phantom thief is quite cautious, isn't he?"

On the other end of the listening device, Phantom Thief Kid's expression changed drastically.

"That bastard, he got caught even though he planted a bug, what bad luck!"

Beside him now stood a tall, thin, bald old man, Terai Kinosuke, who was Kuroba Tou's assistant and a highly skilled magician.

Before Kaito Kuroba inherited the title of Phantom Thief Kid, he was the one impersonating Phantom Thief Kid to attract the attention of the mysterious organization. On one hand, he was protecting Kaito Kuroba, and on the other hand, he was also trying to lure out the mysterious organization and avenge Toichi Kuroba.

At this moment, Terai Kinosuke showed a worried expression.

“Young Master Kaito, I think we should postpone this operation. This Miyazaki Yu is a very troublesome and terrifying person. According to the information you found, this young man is not just a swordsman.”

He has probably already mastered the art of cutting steel and possesses the strength of a swordsman. If he were to truly attack you with his full power, I'm afraid...

He was indeed very worried. The other party was not only highly skilled but also very perceptive. They had even detected the listening device that Kaito Kuroba was wearing.

Kaito Kuroba shook his head and said, "No, since the operation has already been decided, we can't give up. Tonight's operation must not only be carried out, but it must also shock the entire audience. Only in this way can we live up to the name of Kaito Kid."

And you should also know that the mysterious organization probably knows my purpose now, so it will be even more difficult to lure them out. Therefore, we still need to be more high-profile.

Just then, a voice came through the bugging device.

"Listen up, Kaito Kid! I'm Chaki Shintaro, the police officer in charge of arresting you this time. You thief, listen to me! I'm going to catch you this time and send you to jail, you bastard! I mean what I say!"

Kaito Kuroba could no longer hold back and severed the connection with the bugging device.

"That bastard actually gave the bugging device to the police!"

Meanwhile, the police also realized that their communications had been cut off. Detective Chaki Shintaro, with his square face, was still somewhat unsatisfied.

Officer Chaki, also a member of the Metropolitan Police Department, is the supervising officer of the Criminal Investigation Division 2, and is Officer Nakamori's superior. He has a fiery temper.

He threw the bugging device to the supervisors and told them to check if it had any fingerprints or anything like that left by the phantom thief.

"Miyazaki-san is amazing! She surprised me as soon as she arrived. As you all saw, if a high school student can be so meticulous, we police officers naturally have to be even more careful. Everyone, keep your eyes peeled and don't let a single mosquito get away!"

Hearing his words, everyone curled their lips. Was this supposed to be a compliment? He was clearly just using the situation as an excuse to reprimand his subordinates.

Miyazaki Yu smiled inwardly; this policeman was truly interesting.

He clearly doesn't value me. If he really had high hopes for me, he would have been at the Mori family's house yesterday.

"Officer Chaki, shouldn't we go see the holder of the gem now?"

Chaki Shintaro nodded: "That's for sure. Representative Morita has also heard about this, and he's also very interested in Miyazaki-kun."

Just then, a voice rang out.

"Miyazaki, you're here too. Are you here to visit the Moonstone as well?"

Looking up, I saw a girl in a princess dress running towards me from afar. It was none other than Miss Morita Ouran.

"Morita, you woman, don't run so fast!"

Another girl ran over; it turned out to be Sonoko Suzuki.

Sonoko approached and said, "You don't know? Miyazaki promised to help your family protect that Moonstone, that's why he came."

Miyazaki Yu was slightly taken aback: "The Morita family? I see. I knew before that Morita-san's family, like Sonoko's, is that of a wealthy family. I had only heard Inspector Nakamori mention it before, but I hadn't considered that the Nakamori family, which holds the exhibition, is your family."

Morita Ouran was also quite surprised and said, "I didn't expect that in the end it would be you who had to step in to protect our family's Moonstone. Thank you so much."

Led by Morita Soryu, the group saw the large purple gemstone, known as the Moonstone, for the first time.

The large gemstone was placed on a golden platform, which was completely covered by a tempered glass dome.

The gemstone lay quietly on a velvet cushion, shimmering with a deep purple light. Under the illumination of the lamp, the entire gemstone was magnificent and dazzling, with a mesmerizing halo!

Happy New Year's Day! Looking forward to your support and wishing everyone a prosperous and powerful Year of the Tiger!

Chapter 108 The Famous Sword Cuts Through the Clouds

Everyone was stunned by the brilliance of the large gemstone and was speechless.

"This is truly breathtaking! This is the Moonstone!"

Kogoro Mouri stepped forward in shock, about to place his hand on the glass case to examine the gem more closely, but was stopped by the staff.

"Sir, please do not touch it. The entire glass cover contains a fingerprint recognition system. If it detects a fingerprint that does not belong to Representative Morita, an electric current will strike the person."

Kogoro Mouri was startled; he didn't want to be electrocuted, so he quickly moved to the side.

Miyazaki Yu smiled inwardly. This kind of fingerprint recognition technology couldn't possibly stump that guy. He had a hundred ways to get a person's fingerprint.

The staff member continued the explanation.

"This purple gemstone is called the Moonstone. It is the largest purple gemstone in the world, weighing 352 carats. It has a purple-rose color and is crystal clear and flawless. It is a gem among gemstones. It is famous for its deep, moon-like luster."

Everyone was shocked once again.

Xiaolan exclaimed in surprise, "It weighs a whopping 352 carats! I always hear people say that diamonds are big if they weigh a few carats, but I never imagined there could be such a large diamond!"

Sonoko nodded in agreement: "That's right. Legend has it that this gem was discovered in a small country in Africa during a turbulent time. After the discovery of this large gem, two large tribes even launched a war to fight for it, resulting in the deaths and injuries of tens of thousands of people."

Xiaolan couldn't help but stick out her tongue: "No matter how beautiful a gemstone is, it's just a stone. Why would we kill each other for a gemstone?"

At this moment, a voice rang out: "Miss Mori is kind-hearted, but things in this world are never that simple. Even though this gem has changed hands several times and was purchased by my grandfather at a high price, it has been eighty years since then, yet it still cannot escape the fate of being coveted by villains. There are still people eyeing this gem."

As he spoke, a portly middle-aged man walked in.

Officer Chaki saw the person approaching and quickly went up to greet him.

"Hello, Representative Morita, I am Chaki Shintaro, who is in charge of this security operation."

Miyazaki Yu sized up the newcomer. The newcomer was overweight and somewhat resembled Sonoko's father, Suzuki Shiro; both were middle-aged men who looked like wealthy people.

Unlike Suzuki Shiro's approachable demeanor, Morita Einobu exuded the aura of a superior.

They walked in slowly and with an imposing presence, accompanied by two cool-looking bodyguards in black, clearly indicating that they were well-prepared.

Morita Soryu stepped forward to act as the introducer, introducing everyone. Morita Eishin also nodded slightly to them as a form of greeting.

When it came to Miyazaki Yu's introduction, his gaze lingered on him for a few more moments.

"This must be Miyazaki-kun. I often hear Ouran High School talking about you. I've heard that your swordsmanship is superb, and you've even won championships in national competitions."

"You deserve credit for Ouran High School Host Club's excellent performance in the tournament. Such an outstanding young person is truly intriguing."

Miyazaki Yu bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, President Morita. Morita and I are classmates and members of the Kendo Club, so it's natural that we should help each other."

"Hahaha," Morita Einobu laughed heartily.

"Not bad, not bad. I heard Inspector Megure and Inspector Nakamori both speak highly of you. By the way, I know about your request from yesterday. You want a real sword to use, right?"

When I was young, I also practiced swordsmanship, but because I was mediocre, I wasn't cut out for it, so I gave up. However, I have collected several famous swords, and this time it's for the Morita family to protect the gem.

Of course, I couldn't be stingy, so I took out a famous sword from my collection and gave it to Miyazaki. I hope you will like it.

As he spoke, he glanced at someone next to him, who nodded and turned to walk away.

A moment later, he stepped forward carrying a silk bag. He opened the bag and found a sword box inside. The sword box was made entirely of the finest wood, and the sword itself was extremely smooth and delicate, with strange patterns carved on it.

Morita Eishin stepped forward and opened the wooden box, revealing a long sword wrapped in a scabbard.

Unlike traditional samurai swords, this longsword is closer to a blade, with only a slight curve throughout its blade. Its smooth and delicate design makes it resemble a masterpiece of art, possessing a unique aesthetic appeal.

"This sword does not seem to be a traditional samurai sword. The curvature of the blade is too small, and the overall length exceeds one meter, which is longer than a normal katana."

Morita Einobu also showed a proud expression.

"Haha, Miyazaki is right. This sword is not a traditional samurai sword. It is the last famous sword that the renowned swordsmith Aota Tokui forged before his death twenty years ago."

In the last ten years of his life, he embarked on his global journey, visiting swordsmiths around the world to learn and explore. Later, he came to China, the birthplace of the samurai sword, where he met dozens of master swordsmiths.

He spent several years there learning ancient forging techniques.

Later, he devoted his last efforts to forging this famous sword, similar to the Tang Dynasty's horizontal sword, and named it "Horizontal Cloud Slayer."

Everyone looked on in amazement.

Kogoro Mouri sighed, "As expected of Chairman Morita, he's so generous. I've heard of that master swordsmith. It's said that every sword he forges is a treasure, and many of them have been sold for astronomical prices."

Miyazaki Yu frowned slightly and said, "Chairman Morita, as the saying goes, one should not accept a reward without merit. I came here to guard this gem only because I agreed to Inspector Megure and Inspector Nakamori's request."

This sword is incredibly precious. Just as Uncle Mori said, this master's other works are already quite valuable, so this posthumous masterpiece must be worth a hundred times more. This is not something a high school student like me should own.”

For a master swordsman, the allure of seeing a fine, renowned sword is unimaginable to outsiders.

For many sword enthusiasts, such famous swords are practically their lifeblood!

He was absolutely certain that he hadn't misjudged the situation. When Heng Yunduan appeared before him, he must have been extremely pleased, but he had forcefully suppressed his desire.

Instead, he calmly and resolutely refused the treasure that was within his grasp. Such a resilient young man is truly rare.
