Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

Should I push him away? Or turn around and leave?

Yukiko's mind went blank for a moment, as if she had completely forgotten how she should resist, and she just numbly felt the heat coming from Chen Feng.

……

Chapter 247 The Sallybeth Cruise Ship

As Chen Feng drew ever closer, Yukiko resignedly closed her eyes.

However, after waiting for a long time, he did not feel Chen Feng's movement, but only felt a finger lightly brushing across his cheek.

Puzzled, Yukiko slowly opened her eyes, meeting Chen Feng's ambiguous smile.

"What are you trying to do, Ms. Yukiko? I just saw a grain of rice stuck to your face."

"you……"

Yukiko raised her finger, momentarily exasperated but unsure what to say. In the end, she simply snorted, turned her back, and refused to look at Chen Feng again.

"Oh."

Chen Feng smiled slightly, stood up from his seat, and gently wrapped his arms around Yukiko's slender waist from behind.

The warm breath emanating from Chen Feng landed directly on Yukiko's fair neck, causing her to stiffen.

Immediately afterwards, a gentle voice sounded in her ear:

"Ms. Yukiko, would I have the honor of inviting you to attend the auction of the Sallybeth cruise ship this weekend?"

"This...weekend?"

Yukiko turned her head away unexpectedly.

Just then, Chen Feng's face was right next to her ear, and Yukiko immediately turned her eyes, trying to get a better look at Chen Feng's face hidden behind his white top hat and monocle.

However, before she could turn her head, a hand wearing a white glove was placed in front of the two of them, blocking Yukiko's view.

"Madam, some things are better left hidden in the shadows for now," Chen Feng's voice rang out again.

Yukiko looked away, bored, and said, "So you've got your eye on that Suzuki family heirloom?"

"Pretty much, so I'd like to invite Ms. Yukiko to come along."

"Together……"

Yukiko's eyebrows furrowed slightly, indicating some hesitation:

"But I've already promised Shinichi's classmates I'd go. If there's suddenly another person going with me, what if..."

"Don't worry, there won't be any problem."

Chen Feng smiled and moved his hand away from Yukiko, then went to the window.

The silvery moonlight shone through the windowpane onto Chen Feng, revealing a unique charm.

He glanced sideways at Yukiko sitting at the dining table.

"I'll come see you this weekend, Ms. Yukiko. See you this weekend."

After saying this, Chen Feng reached out and opened the window, then leaped off the villa. His hang glider opened behind him, and he disappeared into the night shortly afterward.

"Hey……"

Yukiko wanted to say something as she watched Chen Feng leave, but before she could ask, Chen Feng was already gone.

Yukiko had no choice but to swallow the question she hadn't yet asked, and sat back down in her chair, touching the side of her waist where Chen Feng had just hugged her, her face slightly flushed.

"What an... impolite phantom thief, but..."

Yukiko's gaze returned to the dishes on the table. After a slight hesitation, she picked up her chopsticks again and continued eating.

……

Time passed slowly.

During these few days, Chen Feng didn't do anything else but simply run the coffee shop, brew coffee, and train his assistant in his spare time.

Perhaps it was because of Chen Feng's words, "Soon her sister will also come here," or perhaps it was simply because she wanted to improve herself, that Miyano Akemi worked so hard.

Progress has been rapid. Although he hasn't yet met Chen Feng's requirements, he's more than capable of handling simple tasks during operations.

By the way, ever since Mingmei arrived, even the task of feeding Xiaobai has fallen to her, while Chen Feng seems to be quite relaxed.

At 3 p.m., in the exhibition hall of the Sally Beth cruise ship.

Sonoko was standing at the entrance waiting for something, while several enthusiastic reporters were taking notes all around.

Just then, two figures, one tall and one short, came into view of the garden.

"Xiaolan! Over here!"

Sonoko waved excitedly at the two of them.

Hearing the commotion, Ran led Conan forward. Looking around, they only saw Sonoko and asked curiously:

"Why are you alone, Sonoko? Where's Chen-kun? Are you late again?"

"Him?"

Sonoko pouted, looking annoyed: "He said he had something come up and couldn't come today. That guy actually stood me up!"

"Um...maybe something important just came up with Chen Jun," Xiao Lan guessed.

"Maybe."

Sonoko wasn't really angry. She just mentioned it briefly and then stopped talking about it. Instead, she enthusiastically pulled Ran forward and they eventually stopped in front of a display case.

"Look! This is our family heirloom, the [Dark Star] passed down from my great-grandfather!"

Looking at the gleaming black pearls inside the glass display case, Xiaolan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"What beautiful black pearls!"

"That's true."

Conan nodded, but his gaze kept lingering on the tourists and reporters around him.

His detective instincts told him that the thief would definitely be interested in the "Dark Star," which boasted both high price and attractive appearance. Perhaps... he had already infiltrated the exhibition.

Conan looked up for a long time but found nothing unusual, so he could only look away for the time being and continue to wait.

"Mr. Suzuki has arrived!"

Someone at the scene shouted something, and the reporters immediately erupted in excitement.

They surged forward, surrounding Suzuki Shiro who had just walked in through the door. Even though Suzuki Shiro and his bodyguards tried to stop them, it couldn't dampen the reporters' enthusiasm.

"Mr. Suzuki, aren't you afraid of attracting the attention of Phantom Thief Kid by bringing out the 'Dark Star,' which you've treasured as a family heirloom?"

"Mr. Suzuki, your company was recently visited by the Phantom Thief Kid. Do you have anything to say about that?"

"Mr. Suzuki, is it a provocation to hold another exhibition right after your company just finished fighting with Phantom Thief Kid?"

"Mr. Suzuki..."

One question after another was thrown at Suzuki Shiro. Perhaps because the heat of Chen Feng's previous actions had not yet died down, most of the reporters' questions were related to Kaito Kid.

"Ahem, fellow reporters, please be quiet for a moment."

Shiro Suzuki cleared his throat, raised his hand to quiet the noisy reporters.

The reporters, being quite accommodating, gradually stopped asking questions and stared intently at Shiro Suzuki.

Once everyone had completely quieted down, Suzuki Shiro slowly began to speak.

"This exhibition was spearheaded by the Beika City Museum. My Suzuki Group merely contributed a portion of the exhibits. We had no intention of provoking anyone. As for the talk of being targeted by anyone..."

Shiro Suzuki raised his head, a confident smile on his face that was hard to understand:

"My Suzuki Group is a business, so naturally we are not afraid of being targeted by anyone. Besides, I have specially invited a well-known detective to help us this time."

……

Chapter 248 Shinichi Kudo is back?

"A detective? Who's that?"

Listening to Suzuki Shiro's words, the reporters looked at each other, clearly none of them knew about this beforehand.

Ran then turned to look at Sonoko: "Sonoko, did Uncle hire a detective?"

Sonoko was clearly confused as well: "I didn't know. Didn't we invite Uncle Kogoro?"

"I don't think so."

Xiaolan shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

Suzuki Shiro, who was not far away, seemed quite satisfied with everyone's reaction, and without keeping them in suspense any longer, continued:

"The person I invited is Mr. Shinichi Kudo, the high school detective hailed as the savior of the police force."

"What? Shinichi Kudo?"

"Oh? That high school detective? It seems like we haven't heard from him in a long time."

"That's right. He hasn't been in the public eye for a long time since he was defeated by Kidd half a month ago. His sudden return this time might mean he has something to prepare for."

The reporters chattered incessantly.

Conan, who was directly involved, was stunned and stood there.

Was he talking about himself?

But when did I agree to come here to help? No, I haven't recovered my body at all! Where did this Shinichi Kudo come from?!

Just as Conan's heart was churning with emotions, two more figures appeared at the doorway.

One left and one right, one male and one female.

The woman walking on the left is naturally Yukiko, and as for the woman on the right...

Wearing the Teitan High School uniform, with his short hair neat and tidy, and his hands in his pockets, who else could it be but Shinichi Kudo?

"Shinichi..."
