Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

On the surveillance footage, Chen Feng was standing on the rooftop of the Suzuki Building, smiling as he faced the monitor.

Seemingly sensing that everyone was watching him through the surveillance camera, Chen Feng slowly raised his head and met the camera's gaze. His single eye reflected slightly in the moonlight, and in his hand was... [Rose Kiss]!

"How is this possible!"

Kogoro Mouri exclaimed in surprise.

Even Yukiko looked surprised, glancing sideways at Chen Feng standing next to her: "You..."

"Shh-"

Chen Feng put his finger to his lips, making a "shush" gesture.

"You need patience to appreciate a performance, ma'am."

Chen Feng lowered his voice and spoke.

Although Yukiko was puzzled, she didn't ask any further questions. She simply nodded and said nothing more.

In front.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri's reaction, Inspector Nakamori and Jirokichi Suzuki also felt a jolt of unease and quickly walked over to the monitor.

When they saw the white figure in white holding the "Rose Kiss" on the surveillance footage, they were also very shocked.

How could that be?

Officer Nakamori looked puzzled.

As the organizer of this exhibition and the only one who knew the true location of the "Rose Kiss" necklace, Jirokichi Suzuki frowned, subconsciously looked in one direction, and then quickly looked away.

Although the movements were quick, they were still noticed by Chen Feng, who had been watching the area closely.

"Team One, check all the display cases and see which one has lost the 'Rose Kiss'. The rest of you, follow me immediately to the rooftop to catch Kid!"

Officer Nakamori's voice echoed throughout the entire venue.

"Yes!"

"Roger that!"

The police officers present all spoke up.

Without hesitation, Officer Nakamori quickly prepared to walk towards the door after speaking.

"Wait a moment!"

An untimely voice rang out, stopping Officer Nakamori and the others.

Looking at Conan standing next to the monitor, Kogoro Mouri said impatiently, "You bespectacled brat! What are you yelling about again!"

As he spoke, Kogoro Mouri quickly stepped forward, preparing to drag Conan aside.

But before he could make a move, Conan spoke again:

"Wait, uncle, there seems to be something behind this surveillance camera!"

"What do you know about surveillance, kid... Hey? Something's there?"

Kogoro Mouri paused in his outstretched hand.

Following the direction Conan pointed, Kogoro Mouri pressed himself against the wall and, sure enough, there was something resembling a USB flash drive plugged into the monitor in a place that was not easily noticeable below it.

"what is this?"

Kogoro Mouri reached out towards the USB drive with a puzzled look on his face.

Meanwhile, the commotion also attracted the attention of Officer Nakamori and his team.

Officer Nakamori, who was originally heading to the rooftop, stopped and looked over in this direction with a puzzled expression.

Nourishes—

As Kogoro Mouri unplugged the USB drive, the screen on the monitor flashed.

The white figure that was standing on the screen disappeared instantly, and the rooftop of the Suzuki Building was once again empty.

"Disappeared...disappeared?"

Officer Nakamori paused, his steps faltering as he prepared to leave the exhibition hall.

Looking at the USB drive in his hand, and then at the empty surveillance footage, Kogoro Mouri pondered for a moment, before a smug smile returned to his face:

"I understand! The phantom thief Kid took advantage of the white smoke filling the room to insert this USB drive into the back of the surveillance camera, thus making the camera show him on the rooftop and having successfully carried out his plan."

In reality, he was just trying to lure the people out of the exhibition to make it easier for him to carry out his plan!

Unfortunately for him, he ran into me, the great detective Kogoro Mouri! His schemes will ultimately fail! Ahahahaha—"

Kogoro Mouri opened his mouth and laughed exaggeratedly.

Everyone present nodded in agreement.

"So that's how it is! We almost fell for that thief's trick!"

Officer Nakamori spoke angrily.

"Don't worry, with me, Kogoro Mouri, here, I won't let him succeed!"

Kogoro Mouri waved his hand casually, as if he had already made up his mind.

Everyone present nodded in agreement, showering Kogoro Mori with praise and admiration, practically making him sound like royalty.

Even Mr. Jirokichi Suzuki was very satisfied with Kogoro Mouri's performance and nodded frequently.

Only Conan remained standing by the wall, pinching his chin with his hand and thinking seriously.

"It shouldn't be that simple. There are still about 20 minutes left until the time stated in Kidd's notice. It would be pointless to lure Inspector Nakamori and the others away now, unless..."

Conan seemed to have guessed something, and suddenly raised his head, his eyes becoming firm.

"Unless Phantom Thief Kid has already infiltrated!"

This guess popped into Conan's mind.

Conan's gaze swept over everyone present.

There weren't many people at the exhibition. Apart from the five people sent by the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division to help, there were about twenty people from the Second Investigation Division, led by Inspector Nakamori.

Besides that, only Kogoro Mouri, Jirokichi Suzuki, and Yukiko remain...

Conan's gaze swept over everyone present.

Finally, his gaze settled on the young police officer who was chatting casually with Yukiko not far away.

Seeing the two chatting and laughing, Conan became even more certain of his guess.

Although my mother is not an unapproachable person, as a big star from more than ten years ago, she still carries an aura of being unapproachable.

Plus, she just returned from the US a few days ago, so she probably doesn't know many people in the Metropolitan Police Department. So, this person…

Conan's gaze sharpened, his suspicions solidified, and he silently moved toward Chen Feng's side and rear, preparing to strike from behind and take him down with a tranquilizer dart!

……

Chapter 233 Angry Conan

As for why they didn't call Officer Nakamori and the others...

It's very simple. Given that thief's abilities, having more people would be useless; only a surprise attack would work...

Thinking of this, Conan quickened his pace slightly, but to others, he was just a kid wandering around aimlessly, and not many people paid him any attention.

Of course, Chen Feng was not among those who didn't care.

Chen Feng noticed Conan as soon as he set off, but he didn't make a fuss. He remained as leisurely as ever, chatting with Yukiko.

Conan moved slowly, and a few minutes later, he arrived at Chen Feng's side and rear.

With a slight lift of her wrist, which was adorned with a watch, she aimed the anesthetic needle at the back of Chen Feng's neck, her fingers raised as if she were about to press the firing switch in the next second.

But just then...

Chen Feng, who had been chatting with Yukiko, suddenly reached out and grabbed Yukiko's arm, then pulled her to his side.

"what……"

Yukiko was caught off guard by Chen Feng's sudden action. She swayed and almost fell, but fortunately Chen Feng reached out and caught her, preventing her from falling.

"what are you doing?"

Feeling the warmth in front of her, Yukiko realized what was happening and was slightly angry.

A mouse went by.

"mouse?"

Yukiko was startled and looked around but found nothing.

Where are the mice?

"Ran."

Yukiko rolled her eyes, twisted her body, and struggled out of Chen Feng's arms, without saying much.

However, Chen Feng's sudden action caused Conan to frown. In his eyes, the figures of Kid and Yukiko overlapped.

With Yukiko in front and Kid behind, there was no angle at which the tranquilizer darts could be fired.

Forced into a corner, Conan angrily lowered his raised wrist, pretending nothing had happened, and moved in another direction, trying to find another angle.

However, no matter how he moved, every time he raised his arm and before he could even aim, Chen Feng seemed to know in advance and would move his body slightly to hide behind Yukiko, leaving Conan with no way to attack.

I tried changing the location six or seven times, and it was the same.

"That despicable guy!"

After another failed shot, Conan gritted his teeth and cursed as he looked at Chen Feng, who was completely blocked by Yukiko.

Even if he were stupid, he would know now that this despicable thief clearly knew what he wanted to do all along, otherwise he wouldn't have gone around in circles with him for ten minutes!

As Conan stopped moving, Chen Feng also peeked out and smiled slightly in Conan's direction.

It is utterly provocative!

"What are you doing?"
