Perhaps because he had mastered his first perfect-level skill, Suzuki Seimei noticed that his attribute list had also changed considerably.

The various skills that were originally meant to be integrated are now divided into two categories: active skills and passive skills.

Moreover, the order in which those skills are arranged is based on their skill level.

Perfect-level skills are ranked at the top, while those skills that cannot be upgraded are ranked at the bottom.

Compared to the previous attribute panel, although the content has not changed much, it does look simpler and clearer.

After reviewing his attribute panel, Suzuki Seimei nodded in satisfaction, slowly closed his eyes, and drifted off to sleep contentedly.

……

Several days later

Mouri Detective Agency

Kogoro Mouri put down his beer can and asked with some confusion, "Ran, what did you just tell me to catch? What's the phantom thief's number again?"

"It's Phantom Thief Number 1412!"

Seeing Kogoro Mouri so drunk so early in the morning, Ran Mouri couldn't help but complain, "Dad, really, can't you drink less so early in the morning?"

Kogoro Mouri gave an awkward laugh and quickly changed the subject, saying, "What, number 1412? Who is this guy?"

"Forehead……"

Ran Mouri thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I'm not very clear about this person's background either, but according to Sonoko's description, he is an international thief who targets works of art and jewelry from all over the world."

The FBI and CIA were furious with him, as were the UN and Interpol, which is why they gave him the secret code 1412.

Later, the news leaked out, and everyone learned about his secret code. Oh, and he also seems to have a nickname, something like… Kid, Phantom Thief Kid!

"What? I'm not interested in thieves or anything like that!"

Conan, who was secretly eavesdropping nearby, rolled his eyes silently. He thought there was some big case involved, but it turned out to be just a thief who appeared out of nowhere.

"Oh, right, Sonoko's family also received a strange notification letter. Dad, why don't you see if you can decipher its contents?"

As Ran Mouri spoke, she pulled a tattered, cobbled-together notification letter from her pocket and handed it to Kogoro Mouri.

"A strange notification letter?"

"Because Sonoko and the others can't understand the contents of this letter at all; it's like a code," Ran Mouri said.

"signal?"

Upon hearing this, Conan's eyes lit up slightly.

If you're talking about this, then I'm not sleepy anymore!

Chapter Ninety-Five: Saying One Thing but Doing Another (Seeking Votes and Add to Favorites)

Conan, who hadn't been interested at first, quickly ran over to Kogoro Mouri on his short legs to watch.

"April fool, when the moon separates the two, I will hear of the great name of the Dark Star, and, drawn by the waves' invitation, go to claim it, Phantom Thief..."

Kogoro Mouri frowned slightly as he looked at the contents of the notification letter, saying, "The rest of the text is damaged and cannot be read!"

Ran Mouri shook her head helplessly and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. I heard from Sonoko that when her father received this notice, he was so angry that he tore it up. She glued it back together herself afterward."

"Strange, the contents of this letter are really hard to understand."

Looking at the incomplete and cryptic contents of the notification letter, Kogoro Mouri stroked his beard and pondered, "All we know for now is that it's April Fool's Day. So, the phantom thief should show up on April 1st."

"Dad, Sonoko told me that Uncle Suzuki wants your help to capture Kaito Kid. The deposit is one million yen. If you can successfully capture Kaito Kid, the deposit will be increased by another ten million yen."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri's eyes lit up, and he excitedly exclaimed, "Just a lowly thief! With me, the great detective Kogoro Mouri, in charge, you can just wait to obediently head to jail! Hahaha..."

"Hey, hey~"

Seeing Kogoro Mouri's smug expression, Conan's lips twitched, and he shook his head with a headache.

……

next morning

Rice Flower Museum, 5th Floor

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Kogoro Mouri looked down at the police who had surrounded the museum and couldn't help but exclaim, "How spectacular! It seems like all the police force in Tokyo has been mobilized here this time."

The reason so many police officers were mobilized was not only because Phantom Thief Kid is a famous international thief, but also because the Suzuki Group has too much influence.

If Kaito Kid had simply stolen the Suzuki Group's treasures quietly, it wouldn't have caused too much trouble.

But Kidd just loves to show off, so he sent a notification letter to the Suzuki Group before taking action, which was practically a provocation.

If Shiro Suzuki doesn't react to such provocation, then others will think that the Suzuki Group is easy to bully!

The Tokyo police, of course, did not want to let the Phantom Thief Kid get away with it, otherwise wouldn't it make the police look too incompetent?

In order to capture the Phantom Thief Kid, not only were hundreds of police officers mobilized, but also more than a dozen armored vehicles, several helicopters, and several speedboats were deployed. It can be said that the defense was tight on land, sea and air.

Wearing a brown suit, Shiro Suzuki, accompanied by Seimei Suzuki and Sonoko, walked unhurriedly to Kogoro Mouri and greeted him warmly: "Detective Mouri, it's a great welcome to you. Having such a famous detective like you here is like adding wings to a tiger! Today, we'll be counting on you, Detective Mouri."

"Chairman Suzuki, you're too kind. Don't worry, he's just a petty thief. I, Kogoro Mouri, can easily apprehend him in no time, hahaha..."

Hearing Kogoro Mouri's boastful words, Shiro Suzuki felt inexplicably uneasy, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction on the surface. Instead, he laughed along.

┐(?~?)┌

Conan shrugged speechlessly, thinking to himself, "That sounds nice, but the code on the notification letter hasn't been deciphered yet~ What a boastful statement!"

"By the way, Detective Mouri, please come with me to see what Kaito Kid's target is this time!"

After Suzuki Shiro finished speaking, he led Kogoro Mouri and the others toward the exhibition hall on the fifth floor.

In the center of the exhibition hall, on a bulletproof glass display case, there is a uniquely designed silver necklace with a dazzling black pearl set in it.

Looking at the black pearl, which was even larger than his thumb, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh~ this is the world's largest black pearl, the Dark Star! It truly lives up to its name."

Shiro Suzuki smiled and introduced, "To be honest, ever since my grandfather added this pearl to his collection, the Suzuki family's fortunes have been on a meteoric rise. In other words, it's like a guardian deity for the Suzuki family!"

"what?"

Conan stared at the dark stars in front of him for a while, feeling that something was not quite right, but he couldn't figure it out for the time being.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

Suddenly, a barking sound rang out, and Kurosaki Tamaka led three German Shepherds towards Suzuki Seimei's direction.

"Taro, Jiro, Saburo."

Upon seeing this, Suzuki Haruaki quickly ran over with a smile and reached out to pat the heads of the three big guys.

Ran Mouri asked with some curiosity, "Sonoko, are these dogs police dogs?"

"No, these are our family's guard dogs. Seimei said he also wanted to help catch Kid, so he brought his three best guard dogs with him."

"Is Seimei going to help too? How cute~"

Watching Suzuki Seimei play with the three German Shepherds, Ran Mouri's lips curled up slightly, revealing a motherly smile.

Noticing Conan's somewhat eager look, Suzuki Haruaki smiled and waved to him, saying, "Conan, why don't you come and play with Taro and the others? Taro and the others are very well-behaved and won't bite people randomly."

"Childish~"

Conan rolled his eyes at him, annoyed, and then...

"Don't lick, don't lick, hahaha..."

Under Kurosaki Tamaka's smiling gaze, Conan ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of petting the dogs. He almost had his glasses licked off by the three German Shepherds, making him look both embarrassed and happy.

Kogoro Mouri glanced at the patrol team moving back and forth in the hall, frowned slightly, and said, "Speaking of which, isn't the security here a bit too tight?"

"Yes! It's April Fool's Day tomorrow, so we've been on high alert since tonight to prevent that phantom thief from doing anything in advance."

(ノ￣ー￣)ノノ(o_oノ)

Upon hearing Suzuki Shiro's words, Suzuki Seimei was at a loss for words.

Summer vacation just started a couple of days ago, how come we're already celebrating April Fool's Day again?

That's absolutely outrageous!

To be honest, although the security seemed tight, based on Suzuki Seimei's understanding of Kaito Kid, the more guards there were, the harder it would be to catch him.

Because Phantom Thief Kid is not only proficient in disguise, but also in changing clothes and changing his voice, he can instantly transform into other people's appearances. Therefore, the more people who try to capture him, the easier it is for him to take advantage of the chaos.

If you really want to capture Phantom Thief Kid, the best way is to clear out all the guards in the exhibition hall and then deploy more police dogs.

Chapter 96 Kaito Kuroba

However, on the other hand, Suzuki Seimei actually quite liked the character of Kaito Kid, and he didn't really have any intention of arresting Kaito Kid.

Otherwise, given Suzuki Seimei's understanding of the original plot, he could have simply sent someone to capture Kuroba Kaito.

┐(?~?)┌

There's nothing we can do about it—the fans of the original work are just that unreasonable!

Although Kaito Kuroba enjoys stealing various precious jewels, his true purpose is to find out the real cause of his father's death.

Therefore, after stealing jewelry, Kaito Kuroba would always return it to its rightful owner once he confirmed it wasn't what he was looking for.

In Suzuki Seimei's eyes, Kuroba Kaito wasn't exactly a bad person; on the contrary, he had saved quite a few people in the original story, so he naturally didn't bother sending him to prison.
