Only after Suzuki Jirokichi left did Sonoko finally let out a long sigh of relief. Looking at Jirokichi, who was busy not far away, she slowly said:

"My uncle has been completely obsessed lately. He spends all day here making arrangements, saying he absolutely has to catch Kidd. It's unbelievable..."

Sonoko shook her head helplessly.

Chen Feng and the others also smiled.

Just then, Chen Feng glanced casually and saw Conan staring blankly in one direction.

Following his gaze, he saw a woman wearing a mask and sunglasses, with a curvaceous figure, standing not far away, looking around.

Although her face is not clearly visible, her outstanding temperament is still undeniable.

"Has Xizi?"

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow and immediately guessed the woman's identity.

"Hey, kid! What are you looking at!"

Sonoko's voice suddenly rang out, startling Conan.

"Uh...I..."

Before Conan could reply, Sonoko had already followed his gaze and noticed the shapely Yukiko, and a maternal smile immediately appeared on her face:

"Wow, that's impressive! You're so young and already like looking at pretty girls? What will you be like when you grow up?"

"No! I..."

Conan wanted to argue that it was his mother, but when he remembered his current identity, he could only swallow his words and put on an awkward smile.

Seeing Conan's reaction, Sonoko gave him a "I knew it" look.

Chen Feng's voice came at that moment: "Yuanzi, where's the toilet? I need to use the toilet."

"Oh, go out from here, turn left, and just keep walking straight."

Sonoko, who was busy educating Conan, responded casually.

After hearing the answer, Chen Feng nodded, glanced at Yukiko not far away, and then turned and left.

At this moment, Conan had no time to pay attention to Chen Feng who had left; he just frowned and glanced at Yukiko not far away.

"Why is Mom here? When did she become interested in jewelry exhibitions?"

Conan pondered silently.

"Hey! Conan!" Sonoko's annoyed voice reached Conan's ears.

"Huh? Sonoko-neechan, what's wrong?"

Conan blinked, feigning innocence.

Sonoko put her hands on her hips and spoke with righteous indignation:

"Were you even listening? I'm trying to guide you towards the right values ​​so you won't be fooled by pretty girls without even realizing it!"

"Well, Sonoko-neechan is right."

Conan smiled awkwardly.

Fortunately, Ran, who had been silent until now, spoke up at this moment: "Alright, Sonoko, Conan is still a child. Besides, his mother isn't by his side. Maybe he misses his mother too."

Upon hearing Ran speak, Conan quickly nodded in agreement.

"OK then."

Sonoko nodded but didn't say anything more, only secretly glaring at Conan, making him feel quite helpless.

On the other side, about ten minutes later.

Yukiko spent half the day wandering around but found nothing. Not to mention the figure of Kid, she didn't even see many suspicious people.

This made Yukiko feel bored.

Just as I was about to turn around and leave, I felt someone gently pat my shoulder.

"Ok?"

Yukiko turned her head in confusion, but did not see anyone.

"boring."

Yukiko assumed it was just another prank, muttered a complaint under her breath, and then, not wanting to pay any more attention, lifted her foot to leave.

Just then, a gentle voice came from Yukiko's ear:

"It's a pleasure to meet you here, Princess Teitan..."

……

P.S.: If you like this, please give me a small gift! Love you all!

Also, a special thank you to [greatal] and [星辰之穹] for their generous updates and rewards! (* ̄3 ̄)╭?

Chapter 223 Reunion with Yukiko

Upon hearing the voice, Yukiko's beautiful eyes widened instantly: "Phantom Thief..."

"Shh-"

Chen Feng stretched out his finger and placed it in front of Yukiko's lips, seemingly to stop her from saying the rest of her words.

Yukiko immediately understood, pursed her lips slightly, glanced at the person wearing a mask and a baseball cap beside her, and couldn't help but say:

"You've got some nerve, coming to scout the place right after sending out the notice?"

“A coward can’t be a phantom thief, and I have enough confidence in my abilities.”

Chen Feng smiled and replied.

Yukiko replied, "You seem quite confident, but..."

At this point, Yukiko paused, a hint of teasing in her beautiful eyes:

"If I were to shout 'Kidd's here!' right now, given the security situation here, even you wouldn't be able to escape easily, would you?"

As she spoke, Yukiko pointed to the group of security guards standing at the door and windows. Even the ventilation duct openings were guarded by special personnel arranged by Jirokichi Suzuki, making the entire venue as secure as an iron barrel.

“Madam, believe me, you won’t do that.” Chen Feng’s tone remained gentle, showing no sign of panic.

"Hmm...we'll see."

Yukiko left with an ambiguous statement, then chuckled lightly, "Since you're here, how about you show me around, Mr. Phantom Thief..."

"It would be my great honor."

Chen Feng quickly stepped forward, came to Yukiko's side, and walked alongside her.

"A medieval Western European knight's longsword, with a fingernail-sized 'Z' engraved on the blade, is likely the sword of Zoreus, considered the greatest knight of the 7th century. The hilt is also inlaid with two identical gemstones, symbolizing courage and loyalty."

This one next to me is a dragon and phoenix jade pendant from the Song Dynasty of China, and that one over there is a ring given to his first love by a young wealthy merchant named Yunku from Gaul. They were originally a pair, but now there's only one and a half left..."

As Chen Feng walked, he casually introduced the information of the exhibits in each photo.

After introducing seven or eight people, Yukiko, who had been walking forward without saying a word, suddenly stopped. Her gaze, hidden behind her sunglasses, was fixed on Chen Feng, her eyes filled with curiosity.

How do you know so much? Did you do some research?

"Ah……"

Chen Feng chuckled lightly, but did not reply directly.

Instead, he reached out and placed his hands on Yukiko's shoulders, gently turning her body in one direction.

Then, he leaned close to Yukiko's left ear, pointed towards the wall, and whispered:

"Madam, there's information on the wall..."

Yukiko was taken aback.

My gaze swept over the words on the wall, and sure enough, all the information Chen Feng had mentioned was displayed there, without missing a single detail.

Yukiko rolled her eyes and was about to turn and leave.

However, before he could take two steps, Chen Feng grabbed him.

"Madam, would you like to hear more about this ring? I mean, information that isn't mentioned in the description here."

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Yukiko paused in her steps.

"Oh? What information?"

Yukiko looked over with some curiosity.

"Um……"

Chen Feng paused for a moment, then moved over to the display case.

The display case was empty, with no actual items, but five or six clear photos allowed people to clearly see the appearance of the two rings.

Oh, sorry, not two, it's one and a half rings, literally.

Of the rings in the photo, only one is intact, while the other is only half, the other half of which is missing.

Under Yukiko's questioning gaze, Chen Feng slowly spoke: "Miss Yukiko, do you know why there is only one and a half rings left when this pair was supposed to be together?"

Yukiko shook her head.

This wasn't mentioned in the introduction, so she naturally didn't know.

"It's actually quite simple. The ring that's perfectly preserved belongs to Yunku, while the other half is the ring of Yunku's first love. It was she who broke the originally intact ring in two, took the other half, and disappeared without a trace..."

"Ok?"

Yukiko was somewhat surprised: "Yoonko's first love? Why would she do this? Did their relationship break down?"

"Hmm...more or less," Chen Feng replied.

Pick up the photo from the display case and run your hand over it:

"Let's call that Yuenku's first love, Miss An, for now, since her name is not recorded."

Actually, their relationship was very good in the early days, especially before Yunku inherited the family business. He and Miss Ann were extremely loving. However, after Yunku inherited the family business... a little problem arose..."

At this point, Chen Feng paused slightly.
