Shirou's clones number 30 million

Chapter 399, Section 400: Phantom Thief Kid, You're Under Arrest!

I'll let you spread rumors that I'm the Grim Reaper.

Conan felt a surge of joy at the thought of Shirou Hayami being confessed to in public by a little girl and the awkward situation he might face afterwards.

However, as his gaze followed the police car to the group of police officers, he suddenly realized something.

No! These people aren't here for the wedding at all.

Realizing this, he immediately gave chase.

They discovered that the police officers did not go to the back to look for the bride or groom, but instead took their seats in the guest section of the church, each with a document in hand.

In that instant, a scene suddenly flashed into Conan's mind.

As soon as the priest announced the start of the ceremony, the police interrupted the wedding and arrested the bride or groom.

With that in mind, he immediately decided to go and test the waters.

At this moment, more people walked in from outside and took their seats in the guest area.

Upon realizing that Conan seemed to be trying to cause trouble again, Kogoro Mouri impatiently pulled him over and pressed him into a seat.

"Kid! Today is my friend's daughter's happy day, don't cause me any trouble."

Seeing this, Conan could only sigh, his eyes fixed on the police officers, trying to deduce their purpose.

Looking around, he noticed that Ayasaki Hayate and the young lady were sitting far away, staring at him warily, and a dark line appeared on his forehead.

That guy was really spreading rumors!

Wait, could that guy really think that way about me?

"Conan, is a case about to happen?" Ai Haibara suddenly leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Conan snapped out of his daze, a look of surprise on his face:

How could you say something that has no scientific basis whatsoever?

“Because Hayami’s assistant has arrived, but he himself is not here.” Ai Haibara glanced at Hayate Ayasaki in the distance.

indeed.

Conan nodded slightly, then fell into deep thought.

Although they were competitors, he had to admit that Hayami's current abilities were indeed a little bit stronger than his own.

A reputation is well-deserved; that guy always manages to eliminate cases before they even happen.

Alternatively, you could save the victim just as the murderer is about to commit the crime, and catch the murderer in the act at the same time.

If a case were to actually occur today, that guy would definitely be working hard somewhere that we can't see.

"Haibara, I never expected that you would come to the wedding with Professor Agasa."

“I specifically asked Professor Agasa to bring me here.” Ai Haibara leaned close to Conan’s ear, lowered her voice, and said again, “With that invitation that was mailed to Shinichi Kudo.”

what!

Conan was completely bewildered, looking around in confusion.

Shinichi Kudo has been missing for five years, and many people think he has passed away. Even Ran sometimes murmurs this to herself.

Five years later, the only people who would still send an invitation to Shinichi Kudo are those who know his true identity.

who can that be?

Heiji Hattori? Impossible. He lives in Osaka; there's no way he could come to Tokyo to get married.

Besides, even if he were to get married, he certainly wouldn't hide it from me.

"Haibara, are you sure the invitation is for Shinichi Kudo?"

"Want to take a look?"

Ai Haibara took out the red invitation and handed it to Conan.

"It really is for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Conan suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly looked at Kogoro Mouri next to him.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that the man was talking to someone on the other side and hadn't noticed them.

What a close call! I let it slip; thankfully, no one heard me.

"Eh...? Nakamori Aoko?"

This familiar surname unconsciously brought a face to Conan's mind.

Although the groom's name sounded somewhat familiar, he was certain he had never heard of it before.

On the contrary, I felt like I'd heard the bride's name somewhere before.

"Uncle, is your friend that Inspector Nakamori? The one who's always chasing after Kaito Kid?"

"Yes, it's him. I met his daughter a few days ago, and she looks exactly like Xiaolan. It even made me wonder if I had twins back then."

"Huh...? Is that so?"

As they were talking, Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki arrived late and sat down in the row behind Conan. Hei greeted them with a smile.

"Conan, you're here too?"

"Sister Xiaolan."

"Oh no! I didn't expect this brat to be here. It looks like the wedding won't be able to go on until the end." Sonoko Suzuki sighed and rubbed her forehead.

Ran Mouri paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Sonoko, don't say things that have no scientific basis. It's just a coincidence."

"It's no coincidence. We've never encountered a case when this kid isn't around, right? That's the best proof."

"It's just a coincidence. That's just the nature of being a detective."

As time went on, the priest walked onto the stage, which meant the wedding was about to begin.

Soon after, the bride and groom entered the church.

Upon seeing those two, Conan was completely bewildered.

At that moment, he felt as if the whole world was full of malice towards him.

Who is that?

Why does the groom look exactly like me, and the bride look exactly like Xiaolan?

These two newcomers are practically mocking themselves.

Conan has never dared to face this fact and has always been running away from it.

I am only 12 years old now, while Xiaolan is already 22 years old, a difference of ten years.

She has already waited for me for five years, but can she really wait another five years?

Even if she gives up halfway, I can't blame her; a ten-year gap is just too big.

Conan stared blankly at the two newlyweds, completely unable to look at Ran's face behind him.

However, Sonoko Suzuki's exclamation did reach over.

"The bride looks so much like Xiaolan. Could Uncle have switched the babies?"

"Ran, the groom looks very familiar too. Could it be that Kudo has fallen for someone else?"

Although she was just joking, she kept staring at Kaito Kuroba's face while she spoke.

I haven't seen Shinichi Kudo for five years, but his image is still vivid in my mind. Without a doubt, the groom is Shinichi Kudo five years later.

As the bride and groom walked slowly forward, the nearby guests couldn't help but look at Ran Mouri.

Those who knew Ran Mouri, in particular, were full of amazement.

"Distinguished guests, dear friends..."

Halfway through the priest's speech, a policeman in the front row suddenly spoke up and produced a document covered with numerous red stamps.

"Wait a moment!"

"Kaito Kuroba, no, Kaito Kid, you're under arrest."

At that moment, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

"What! The groom is Kaito Kid?"

"Oh no... does this mean the wedding will have to be canceled halfway through?"

"How is that possible? Isn't Phantom Thief Kid a middle-aged man? How could he be a young man?"

"I get it! The groom must be Kaito Kid in disguise. But what's he after? There aren't any jewels here."

"Kaito Kid has managed to steal from a wedding! This is going to be interesting."

"This is impossible!"

The bride's father, Nakamori Ginzo, gasped and rushed to the front of the stage, shouting:

“I’ve known Kaito since he was a child. He could never be Kaito Kid.”

"I've greeted Kaito Kid for so long, if he appears in front of me, I'll definitely recognize him!"

The bride, Aoko Nakamori, was deathly pale. She gripped Kaito Kuroba's arm tightly, as if trying to get him to deny it.

However, this scene was so unexpected that Kaito Kuroba was completely bewildered and didn't know what to say.

For a phantom thief, the moment his identity is exposed means defeat.

His identity being revealed at the wedding was something he had never imagined.

What's next?

Deny it outright? No, since these police officers dared to arrest people at a wedding, it means they already have solid evidence.
