Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

Chen Feng nodded, a wry smile on his face, which puzzled Xiao Lan.

"What's wrong, Mr. Chen? Is what Yuanzi said difficult to handle?"

"No, that's not it. Well, I'll try my best."

Chen Feng agreed.

I couldn't help but recall the words Sonoko had said to me when I went to the Metropolitan Police Department a couple of days ago, pulling me aside to give her some advice.

At that moment, in a corner, after making sure no one was around, Sonoko took out a sketch of "Kaito Kid" from her pocket and handed it to Chen Feng.

At the time, Chen Feng didn't know what Sonoko was going to do until Sonoko spoke:

"Chen, I drew this myself. When Lord Kidd takes action, if you have a chance to get close to him, don't forget to ask him to sign this drawing for me. Oh, and it would be best if you could also give me a small card, preferably with your signature on it..."

"Chen Jun?"

"Ok?"

Chen Feng looked up, and Xiao Lan immediately waved her hand, saying, "Then we'll be going now. See you at the exhibition!"

"Okay, goodbye."

Chen Feng waved his hand as well, and only after watching Ran leave with Conan and the others did he prepare to go home with Ai.

What are you planning to do?

Xiao Ai put her hands in her pockets and looked up at Chen Feng.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Chen Feng asked knowingly, stepped forward, and ignoring Xiao Ai's objections, forcibly picked her up like a child and headed towards home.

After struggling to no avail, Ai simply gave up and whispered, "Are you planning to use this incident to frame yourself as a detective?"

"Well, almost."

Chen Feng nodded, giving an ambiguous answer.

"Do you have other ideas?" Ai continued to press for details.

"Status is not important, the main thing is..."

"What is it?" Ai looked at Chen Feng expectantly.

Chen Feng smiled and said slowly with a mysterious expression, "The main thing is... it's interesting, hahaha."

"Have……"

Ai was so annoyed by this answer that she simply turned her face away and said nothing more.

"How's your review of the APTX-4869 drug improvement plan going? Are there any difficulties?"

Chen Feng suddenly asked.

Seeing Chen Feng's unusual seriousness, Xiao Ai also turned her head, thought for a moment, and said:

"The data has changed a lot, and I need to study it for a while longer. In addition, I need a professional laboratory to do the research. Otherwise, no matter how good the research is, it's just empty talk without experiments."

"I'll take care of the lab stuff for you. You can take your time with your research, but you must make sure it's effective."

Okay, I'll try my best.

Xiao Ai answered, then looked at Chen Feng suspiciously: "I still don't understand how someone like you, who doesn't have a deep understanding of drugs and chemistry, came up with such a detailed and complete improvement plan. Did someone help you, or is there some other reason?"

"Um……"

Chen Feng stopped and looked at Xiao Ai, whom he was holding, with a mysterious expression.

Ai was also looking at him with a face full of curiosity, waiting for his answer.

Chen Feng pretended to be deep in thought before slowly uttering two words:

"secret."

"You bastard!"

Feeling tricked, Ai was furious and simply snorted, ignoring Chen Feng completely.

Chapter 263 The Exhibition Begins

Two days later.

On the Sally Beth cruise ship.

Officer Chaki, who is in charge of the operation to deal with Kaito Kid, is with Officer Nakamori, listening to the officers' report.

"Sir, as you instructed, we conducted machine checks on everyone who boarded the ship, but we found nothing wrong with their faces, voices, or identification documents."

"Nothing was found."

Officer Chaki frowned slightly and looked at Officer Nakamori beside him: "Nakamori, what do you think about this?"

"Huh? Cough."

Officer Nakamori, who had been suddenly called upon, coughed lightly and said:

"I think that phantom thief's methods are quite bizarre. Perhaps he's not disguised as a tourist at all, but is hiding in some corner, preparing to launch a surprise attack on us. It's not impossible."

"Um……"

Officer Chaki nodded, not rushing to answer, but instead turning his gaze towards Chen Feng:

"Mr. Chen, what do you think?"

"Ok?"

Chen Feng, who had been chatting and laughing with Sonoko and Ran, turned around, his smile fading, and after a moment's thought, said:

"Officers, I don't think we need to look for Phantom Thief Kid. We can focus our attention on the crowd at the scene."

"As long as we control everyone who tries to cause trouble and seal off all entrances and exits, [Dark Star] will naturally be safe. In addition, we can arrange for the guests to be divided into groups and set up secret codes to monitor each other, thus preventing the Phantom Thief Kid from getting away with it."

"good idea!"

Officer Chaki nodded emphatically. Clearly, after spending some time together, he was quite confident in Chen Feng's abilities. He immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and gave the order:

"Teams one and two are responsible for observation, teams three and four are responsible for on-site security, and the rest of you remain on standby, awaiting further orders."

"Yes!"

A chorus of echoes came from the walkie-talkie.

Seeing this, Sonoko quickly stepped forward and greeted Chen Feng and Xiaolan:

"Chen, Xiaolan, it's still early, let's go over there together! I found a really delicious dessert!"

Sonoko greeted everyone with a big smile, showing none of the airs one would expect from the second young lady of the Suzuki family.

Of course, no one noticed that Chen Feng, who had just been answering questions calmly, quietly revealed a relaxed expression.

"Phew, Chen is really bold. He actually made me impersonate him. Isn't he worried about being found out?"

Mingmei, disguised as Chen Feng, secretly complained about her unreliable boss.

"Chen, come quick!"

"Oh, here it comes."

Mingmei quickly caught up with him, continuing to wander through the exhibition hall as "Chen Feng".

Not far away, Conan, who had also come to the party, was carefully observing everyone around him.

"Where is Kaito Kid...?"

Conan was lost in thought.

Meanwhile, Genta and his companions, who had also boarded the ship, were not concerned about this and were happily discussing their "adventure" plan on the ship.

Seeing that Conan remained silent, Ayumi couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Conan, how about it? Do you want to come on an adventure with us?"

"Huh? An adventure... I guess..."

Conan initially tried to wave his hand in refusal, but Genta didn't give him a chance, directly stepping forward and wrapping his arms around Conan's neck:

"Let's go. How can our Junior Detective Club's operation be complete without anyone?"

"No, it's not."

When Genta, who is twice his size, hugs him like this, Conan immediately loses his balance and can only follow Genta's footsteps on the "adventure".

Meanwhile, Mitsuhiko, who was at the very back, stood next to Ai with a smile on his face.

"Haibara-san, you should come too."

"I……"

Ai's gaze swept over everyone present, and after a moment's thought, it finally settled on "Chen Feng," who was actually Akemi in disguise. She thought to herself:

My sister is pretending to be that guy here, so there shouldn't be any problems for now. I'll go check out the situation outside.

Thinking of this, Ai nodded slightly, then lifted her feet and followed.

Mitsuhiko seemed very happy that he had succeeded on his first attempt and was not rejected by Ai. He quickly followed up with a fawning expression.

"Haibara-kun, are you thirsty? Would you like some water?"

"Haibara-san, are you hungry? I can go find you some small cakes."

"Haibara-san, is there anything you need? I..."

"Have!"

Ai's sudden words excited Mitsuhiko, who patted his chest and said, "Just let me know if you need anything, and I'll definitely do it for you."

"I need you to shut up and let me have some peace and quiet."

Ai spoke calmly, and without lingering, she lifted her foot and walked forward, leaving Mitsuhiko standing there, looking utterly defeated, muttering something to himself:

"Compared to Haibara, Ayumi is much gentler. I guess I should change my approach..."

Thinking this, Mitsuhiko seemed to have made up his mind and quickly caught up again: "Ayumi, wait for me! I brought you some cakes!"

……

The cruise ship started moving and began to sail slowly.
