At that moment, the door to the school warehouse was pushed open, and a child dressed in blue was about to enter, but the scene inside made him pause in surprise.

"Phantom Thief Kid?! What are you doing here?!"

Conan looked surprised.

Could it be that Kidd kidnapped Miss Gu?

This was Conan's first reaction, but he immediately dismissed the idea.

Putting aside the fact that this doesn't fit Kidd's usual style, just looking at the current scene... it doesn't make sense either!

"Oh?"

Hearing the commotion, Chen Feng turned around and looked at the man and dog rushing over.

Unlike Conan, who was completely bewildered, the giant dog named Jumbo was baring its teeth at Chen Feng, looking like it was about to pounce on him and bite him to death.

"Big Mac! What brings you here?"

Upon seeing the big dog, Gu Jingzi's smile deepened, and she waved her small hand as if beckoning the dog over.

The big dog, which had looked fierce just moments before, immediately retracted its fangs upon hearing Gu Jingzi's greeting. As if it had found a relative, it quickly came to Gu Jingzi's side and obediently licked her little hand with its tongue.

While Conan was still in a daze, Chen Feng had already arrived in front of him.

A gentle smile remained on his lips as he looked down at the adorable "little brother."

I couldn't help but sigh. Yesterday he was a high school detective who was about the same height as me, but in just one day he's grown so short he can't even reach my waist anymore. It was kind of funny, though.

"Little brother, did you just call me? You...know me?"

Chen Feng smiled and squatted down in front of Conan. His mischievous nature made him want to have a "friendly" chat with the "kid" in front of him.

Looking at Chen Feng squatting in front of him, Conan swallowed hard.

I have to admit, now is the perfect time to catch this thief! But right now, my body...

Conan glanced down at his hands and feet, sighed inwardly, and reluctantly gave up on this unrealistic idea.

He then adopted a childlike, innocent tone and said, "I've seen you on TV, brother. They said your name is Kaito Kid, so I called you that. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Conan tilted his head, looking like a clueless child, which made Chen Feng laugh.

"No, you're very smart, little brother."

Chen Feng reached out and ruffled Conan's hair.

The casual manner messed up Conan's hair, but he couldn't say anything. He could only continue to pretend to be well-behaved and let Chen Feng stroke it.

"Of course! I'm a detective!"

Conan continued speaking in his still-unskilled childlike voice.

At the same time, his eyes swept around the warehouse, trying to find any useful tools to catch the despicable thief who had once tricked him!

"Conan? Conan, are you here?"

Xiao Lan's shouts came from outside.

Before Conan could respond, the warehouse door was pushed open again, and Ran appeared in the doorway.

Looking at Chen Feng standing not far away, Xiao Lan was clearly taken aback: "Phantom Thief... Kid?"

"Hello, miss, it's an honor to be introduced to you."

Chen Feng smiled and stepped forward to greet Xiao Lan. At the same time, he stretched out his left hand, gently flipped it, and presented a bright red rose to Xiao Lan.

"you……"

Xiao Lan stared with her mouth slightly open at the chaotic scene inside the warehouse.

Unharmed, Tani Akiko; a behaving obediently, giant; a knife-wielding man trapped under a bag of lime and unconscious; and... a disgruntled Conan.

"This...you made it?"

Xiaolan spoke hesitantly.

"It was just something I did on the spur of the moment. After all, I didn't want such a lovely young lady to be in danger."

Chen Feng still wore that gentle smile as he glanced back at Gu Jingzi, who was still playing with the giant robot.

Even Ran, who was originally indifferent to phantom thieves, had to re-evaluate this phantom thief who was different from ordinary thieves.

"Young Miss? Young Miss, are you there?"

The shouts outside reached the ears of everyone present, and at the same time, a series of dense footsteps approached from afar, indicating that there were quite a few people outside.

"Oh, it seems I should go too."

Chen Feng withdrew his hand and smiled as he spoke.

He then walked towards the window, preparing to leave through it.

"Big brother!"

Seeing that Chen Feng was about to leave, Gu Jingzi didn't care about the giant machine anymore and quickly ran to Chen Feng.

"Are you... leaving?"

Gu Jingzi looked at Chen Feng with her bright, watery eyes.

"Yes, I'm leaving now, but remember to stay away from bad people in the future."

Chen Feng gently patted Gu Jingzi's little head.

"Big brother, come here... come here."

Gu Jingzi reached out her small hand and tugged at Chen Feng's clothes, seemingly wanting Chen Feng to lower his head.

Chen Feng did not resist and slowly squatted down.

"What's wrong, little sister? Is there anything else?"

"Ah."

Gu Jingzi nodded seriously, then tiptoed and slowly leaned close to Chen Feng's ear.

"Boom~"

A voice came from Chen Feng's face. Although it wasn't loud, it was exceptionally clear in the already quiet warehouse.

"Big brother, thank you for saving Akiko."

Gu Jingzi's sweet, childlike voice rang in Chen Feng's ears.

Chen Feng looked at the small child in front of him, his expression unchanged, still wearing that gentle smile:

"You're welcome, young lady. However, I should be going now."

Goodbye, big brother.

Gu Jingzi waved goodbye to Chen Feng.

……

Chapter 221 Little brother, you seem to resemble someone a lot.

Reaching the windowsill, Chen Feng, who was about to climb out, seemed to remember something and stopped again, turning to look inside.

"Little brother."

"Ok?"

Conan, who was just contemplating whether to throw a soccer ball at Chen Feng, looked up immediately upon hearing the greeting and met Chen Feng's gaze.

Chen Feng's smile seemed to carry a hint of amusement: "You seem to resemble someone a lot, like a miniature version of the high school detective, Shinichi Kudo."

"Um...ah? Really?"

Conan, caught off guard by Chen Feng's sudden insight, stammered, "How...how could this be?"

"Maybe I saw it wrong. See you next time, little brother..."

He even emphasized the pronunciation of "small," which caused Conan's expression to change again.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he had a feeling that the phantom thief might know something. Fortunately, Chen Feng didn't give any clear answers in the end, which made Conan breathe a slight sigh of relief.

However, Xiaolan's next words made his heart, which had just settled down, jump up again.

"Huh? It really does seem so, Conan. You really do look a lot like Shinichi when he was a kid."

"Really? It's probably just a coincidence. My mom says kids often look alike, haha..."

Conan scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.

At the same time, his gaze turned to the direction Chen Feng had left, his expression slightly somber, as if he were deep in thought.

"That's possible."

Xiao Lan nodded, not thinking much of it.

"Oh!"

A middle-aged man with exaggerated expressions and a small mustache suddenly walked in.

After looking around, she finally fixed her gaze on the unconscious man. She nudged him a few times with her foot, and after confirming there was no response, her smile became even more exaggerated.

"As expected! At this crucial moment, it's time for me, Kogoro Mouri, to step in! Ahahaha!"

"Forehead……"

This shameless attitude made Conan and the others present extremely embarrassed.

Xiao Lan, as his daughter, turned her face darkened and refused to look at him, as if to say, "I don't know him."

……

Time flies.

Soon, another day had passed.

Chen Feng's issuance of another notice also made headlines in major newspapers.

Especially in Mikasa City, news about Chen Feng was everywhere, to the point that almost everyone in the city knew about it.

Around noon.
