Admit it honestly? Although all the stolen gems have been returned, theft is theft. The total amount is so large that he would be imprisoned for at least three to five years.

Sonoko Suzuki gripped Ran Mouri's hand tightly, watching the scene unfold with extreme tension.

They ran into Kaito Kid at the wedding! How exciting!

Moreover, Kaito Kid's true appearance is exactly the same as Shinichi Kudo's.

Could it be that Kudo disappeared for so long because he went to become a phantom thief?

Am I dreaming?

Conan had completely come to his senses by now, and this bizarre situation actually calmed him down.

'This guy is Kaito Kid? No wonder he felt so familiar.'

'I should have known! I had this guy impersonate me in front of Xiaolan before, and I thought he used a disguise technique to look like me.'

'Now it seems he didn't use any disguise at all; he was simply impersonating me by looking exactly like me.'

Kaito Kid, now that your identity has been exposed, you're finished!

Especially at a wedding, you can't just abandon the bride and run away, can you?

No wonder the police weren't in a hurry to arrest people earlier, but waited until now.

Indeed, in his current state, he looked completely dumbfounded and had no ability to escape whatsoever.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the lead policeman suddenly took out a laptop, operated it for a while, and then Hayami Shirou's face appeared on the screen.

Looking at his face, Kaito Kuroba felt a surge of intense anger.

Damn it! Is this your wedding gift to me?

"Kaito, don't be so angry. I've completed your request."

On the screen, Shirou Hayami paused for a moment before continuing:

"I actually hesitated for a long time about this matter, and I still didn't know how to handle it."

"Later, after discussing it with your father, we chose to do it this way."

"My father is still alive?" Kaito Kuroba looked astonished.

"Yes, but he can't go there yet."

Hayami Shirou paused deliberately, then said with a smile:

"Then, it's time for the detective's performance show."

"Regarding your request, I captured the entire mysterious organization whose members used animal codenames and handed them over to Interpol in just two days."

"However, the trouble started after that."

"You know that no matter what Kaito Kid's original intention was, stealing is stealing."

Those who violate the law should naturally be severely punished by the law.

"Initially, your father publicly declared that he would take full responsibility for the crime."

"But sending your father to prison on your wedding day would be too unfair to you."

"So, after consulting with Interpol and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, we found a solution."

"If we can obtain the forgiveness of all the victims whose gems were stolen, and if none of them pursue the matter, perhaps we can be treated leniently."

“After that, your father and I traveled to various places, constantly pleading for the forgiveness of the victims.”

"Well, the original intention of Phantom Thief Kid was to dismantle a mysterious organization, so it was a good deed in a way."

"Mr. Kuroba Toichi was once a world-renowned magician. Many older people know him, and with my intercession, he's a great help."

"Although this trip was a bit complicated, we have successfully obtained the understanding of all the victims in China."

"As for those overseas, they are too far away. Mr. Kuroba Toichi and I are going there one by one."

"By the way, has the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department issued their verdict yet?"

Kaito Kuroba instinctively looked at the police officer in the lead.

With a soft cough, the police officer began reading the verdict in a deep voice.

"Mr. Kaito Kuroba, you have been using the alias Kaito Kid to steal a large number of gems over the past five years, amounting to a huge sum of money."

"However, given the circumstances and the fact that all the property has been returned, the victim will not pursue the matter further... The judgment against you is as follows—"

"The defendant, Kaito Kuroba, was convicted of theft and sentenced to two years in prison, suspended for three years."

"The probation period begins from the time of sentencing."

When he heard the end, Nakamori Ginzo let out a long sigh of relief.

The next moment, his gaze shifted to Kaito Kuroba, and he couldn't help but punch him (in the chest).

"Kid! You're something else, you've been lying to me for so long."

"From now on, I will keep a close eye on you. If you dare to steal again, I will kill your own family."

Upon hearing this, Shirou Hayami's voice rang out again from the laptop.

"Kaito, this is my congratulatory gift for you."

Kaito Kuroba let out a long sigh of relief, hesitated for a few seconds, and then bowed deeply.

"Thank you."

Unexpectedly, he had gotten himself into such a big mess.

However, it makes sense; if the mysterious organization is captured, Kaito Kid's identity will definitely be exposed.

After all, those guys all knew their fathers' identities.

After standing up, Kaito Kuroba turned to look at the bride, Aoko Nakamori, and said in a low voice:

"I'm sorry, Aoko."

"No need to apologize. So Kaito has been doing such dangerous things all along. No wonder he kept it from me." Nakamori Aoko smiled slightly. "However, you're forbidden from doing that kind of thing again."

"Yes, I don't anymore."

Kaito Kuroba turned to the guests in the room again and bowed deeply.

"Excuse me, everyone, just as Detective Hayami said, I am Kaito Kid."

"Although there were reasons for it, theft is theft, and I am very sorry! (bows again)"

A round of enthusiastic applause immediately erupted in the arena.

In the guest section, Ayumi clapped her hands and leaned close to Ai Haibara, whispering:

"Ai-chan, what does 'three-year probation' mean?"

"Probation means that the next three years will be a probationary period. If he behaves well, the two-year prison sentence will be waived after three years."

As she spoke, Ai Haibara couldn't help but glance at the laptop.

Although Hayami spoke lightly, she could vaguely imagine the difficulties involved.

Obtaining the forgiveness of each victim is no small matter, nor can it be resolved with just a few words.

"Oh... so the wedding can proceed as planned?"

Realizing this, Ayumi's applause grew even louder.

Chapter 401 Once in a Lifetime

Chapter 401, Section 402, Once in a Lifetime

The guests attending the wedding are all close friends and relatives of the bride and groom, so naturally they wouldn't say anything tactless at such a time.

Moreover, Kaito Kid isn't really a bad person. To be honest, he's just a magician who performs magic tricks for free in public under the guise of a phantom thief.

Aside from the police and the victims, the public's opinion of Kaito Kid was already quite positive.

Moreover, all the victims have decided not to pursue the matter further, and the police have already issued appropriate penalties.

Even the bride's father, Inspector Nakamori, who had been chasing after the Phantom Thief Kid, offered his blessings to the couple's wedding.

In conclusion, this is a perfect ending no matter how you look at it.

Thinking about all these various things, Conan felt a strange and indescribable feeling.

Envy? Longing? Regret? Or some other feeling?

Honestly, if I were in your shoes and accidentally learned the identity of Phantom Thief Kid, could I have done this?

No, no matter what, I could never do that.

Not only himself, but no other detective, even Sherlock Holmes himself, could have done this.

Faced with this situation, Hayami turned the impossible into possible and found a perfect solution.

Without a doubt, in this matter alone, his performance was worthy of the title of a famous detective.

At that moment, Conan felt a strange sense of inferiority.

The reason why is that even he himself is now considering asking Hayami for help in investigating the Black Organization.

However, the detective's pride made him abandon the idea after only a moment's thought.

If I wanted to ask that guy for help, I would have asked five years ago. There's no way I'd wait until now.

As the applause subsided, the wedding ceremony continued.

"Dear guests, although there was a small incident at the wedding, the couple's relationship has not been affected in any way."

"Therefore, the wedding ceremony will begin again within this sacred hall."

"first……"

……

Meanwhile, in a city overseas.

"Aren't you going back? This is Kaito's once-in-a-lifetime wedding," Hayami Shirou said with a light laugh.

Black Feather Thief instinctively stopped in his tracks, staring intently westward. After a long while, he slowly said:
