Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

Hearing Chen Feng's words, everyone nodded in agreement.

Officer Chaki, seemingly unable to wait any longer, hurriedly asked, "Who exactly is that Phantom Thief Kid!"

"Ah……"

Mingmei smiled, and her every move was exactly the same as Chen Feng's, leaving no room for doubt.

His gaze swept across the crowd and finally settled on "Sanada Ichizo," who was being impersonated by Chen Feng.

"Only the Phantom Thief Kid, who is focused on the genuine article, would arrive at Mrs. Tomoko's side the moment the riot broke out."

If I'm not mistaken, the true Dark Star should be on you right now, right, Mr. Sanada...? No! Now you should be called... Phantom Thief Kid!

"what!"

"Mr. Sanada is Kaito Kid?!"

"How could this be!"

The people present were all taken aback, especially Suzuki Tomoko, who looked at Chen Feng with disbelief on her face:

"Sanada...you...you are..."

Officer Chaki reacted quickly, leading his men to surround Chen Feng.

"You must be Kaito Kid! Kaito Kid! Show yourself!"

"Oh."

Chen Feng remained completely calm. He reached out, grabbed a corner of his clothes, and quickly lifted it up, instantly transforming himself into a different person.

Dressed in all white, wearing white gloves, with a monocle hanging over his left eye, and carrying a lucky four-leaf clover pendant, everything about him testifies to the identity of the person before him: Phantom Thief Kid!

Now everyone looked at Mingmei with even more admiration.

Even Conan was slightly surprised.

"Chen... actually knows all this?"

Sonoko was still a little confused, just like when a friend you usually smoke, drink and brag with suddenly tells you that he knows Microsoft and has even founded a company called Penguin.

Xiao Lan was slightly surprised, but she didn't say anything more.

"I'm so sorry to have ruined your banquet, Mrs. Tomoko."

Chen Feng turned towards Suzuki Tomoko and bowed slightly.

Seeing that the crowd was still in shock, Chen Feng looked at Mingmei again, a smile playing on his lips, and said:

"However, you've got one thing wrong. I never took the Dark Star away, and it has never left Mrs. Tomoko's body."

"Let's do it!"

Officer Chaki didn't waste any more words and immediately waved his hand to give the order.

However, before they could rush up, they saw that Chen Feng had a small silver cylinder in his hand.

"Flashbang! Close your eyes!"

Officer Chaki was shocked and quickly covered his eyes as he stepped forward.

……

Chapter 268 "Good Citizen"

Swah——

A bright white light flashed, and those around had to quickly close their eyes.

Even Officer Chaki could only close his eyes and lunge forward.

However, when he opened his eyes again, Chen Feng had already disappeared, and unsurprisingly, he had missed his target.

"Damn it! I let him run away again!"

Officer Chaki stood there furiously, and the other officers also showed expressions of annoyance.

Just then, Xiaolan spoke up, quite strangely:

"But... what did Kaito Kid mean when he said that he didn't take the Dark Star, and that the Dark Star is still with Aunt Tomoko?"

"Hey?"

Ran's words immediately attracted the attention of those around her, and everyone looked at Suzuki Tomoko with suspicion.

Even Tomoko Suzuki herself raised her arm and tugged at her clothes, trying to find the dark star that Kaito Kid had left on her, but to no avail.

Just then, Chen Feng, disguised as Mingmei, stepped forward again:

"If I'm not mistaken... Dark Star should be here!"

Akemi suddenly reached out and tugged at Suzuki Tomoko's collar.

A strange scene unfolded: a layer of fabric was ripped off the previously intact collar, revealing an identical collar underneath, along with the words "Dark Star" and a familiar white card.

The beauty of the dark stars is like that of you, Madam. I have finished appreciating it and will now take my leave.

— Respectfully submitted by Phantom Thief Kid!

"This……"

Everyone present was taken aback.

"It seems the thief wasn't lying; he really didn't take the Dark Star. And the word 'visit' in his notice meant a genuine visit, not theft."

Akemi smiled and began to explain.

At the same time, his gaze swept over a strange middle-aged man beside him. The two exchanged a glance, and the middle-aged man, who was actually Chen Feng in disguise, smiled and nodded slightly before quickly disappearing into the crowd.

"I see. No wonder he said the Dark Star has never left Mrs. Tomoko."

Officer Chaki nodded thoughtfully.

Conan couldn't help but glance at Chen Feng again, his eyes filled with surprise and a hint of mutual respect, though it was only one-sided on his part...

Overjoyed at regaining the Dark Star, Tomoko Suzuki's face beamed with gratitude. She quickly addressed Chen Feng, her expression full of thanks:

"Thank you so much this time, Mr. Chen."

“You’re too kind, madam. I was just doing my job. If I were to thank you, I think it would be Officer Chaki and all the other officers in the Metropolitan Police Department who did the work much better.”

Akemi spoke with a smile, and also gave a compliment to Officer Chaki and his team, which earned her grateful glances from many officers.

Sonoko, on the other hand, looked deep in thought, muttering to herself as she pondered something:

"So that means Sanada Ichizo was actually Kid-sama in disguise, and that flower he gave me earlier... Ah!"

Sonoko suddenly remembered something and ran towards the trash can with a look of annoyance on her face.

"Oh dear, the flowers that Lord Kid sent me, how did I lose them?"

"Forehead……"

Seeing Sonoko like this, Ran and Conan couldn't help but twitch their lips, a hint of helplessness appearing on their faces, but they didn't say anything more.

……

Chen Feng's actions continued to be favored by major newspapers, and unsurprisingly, he once again made headlines.

News headlines like "[Only admiring, not taking – a unique style of phantom thieves!]", "An unstoppable phantom thief, no amount of protection is anything but decoration", and "In front of a phantom thief, detectives and police are nothing more than that," which are designed to offend the police to the core, have been published.

This infuriated Officer Chaki, who always valued his reputation, to the point that he was so angry that he didn't even eat that day and spent the entire day in his office fuming.

Fortunately, the final outcome was relatively good. The Dark Star was not stolen, and the Suzuki Group suffered no losses, so it can be considered a win-win situation.

Um...except for Officer Chaki, who was tricked and sulked for a whole day.

……

The next day.

As the mechanical cat at the door greeted her with a "Welcome!", Miwako Sato burst in.

"Hey! Great Detective!"

As soon as she entered, Sato Miwako unceremoniously found Chen Feng, who was reading a book at the front desk, and slammed the newspaper in her hand in front of him.

"You've been keeping this a secret! How did you become a famous detective without making a sound?"

Sato Miwako crossed her arms in front of her and looked at Chen Feng with a mocking expression.

Chen Feng picked up the newspaper that Sato Miwako had slapped on the front desk and glanced at it briefly: "Young Chinese detective sees through Phantom Thief Kid's disguise, the detective world gains another young talent!"

"Ah……"

Chen Feng chuckled: "I thought it was something else, but it's just this. It's just good luck, a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse, nothing special."

Upon hearing this, Sato Miwako rolled her eyes, her eyes clearly saying "I don't believe it!"

"Never mind, I didn't come here to cause you any trouble. Here! Take this!"

Sato Miwako reached out and handed a thick envelope to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng reached out and took the envelope, opening it to find a thick stack of 10000 yen banknotes inside, roughly estimating there were several dozen.

"Here's the 10 won reward for providing the location of the bank robbery, the 60 won for the detective work, and the 30 won that Officer Chaki specially applied for as a good citizen reward for you. It's a total of 100 won. Please count it."

"So many!"

Chen Feng was slightly surprised, not expecting the Metropolitan Police Department to be so generous.

But being a good citizen... that doesn't seem to be a problem, of course he's a good citizen!

Looking at the large stack of banknotes in Chen Feng's hand, Sato Miwako pouted, looking somewhat envious, and said:

"That's right, this one order of yours is worth a quarter of my salary. It makes me want to quit my job and work for you."

"Ha, if that's the case, I'd be very happy to accept it."

Chen Feng spoke with a smile.

The two chatted for a few minutes, and then Akemi, who had gone out to pick up Ai from school, returned. Upon seeing Sato Miwako, Akemi greeted her:

"Oh, it's Officer Sato. Want some coffee?"

"Not really, I just came to ask Mr. Chen for a favor. Now that it's done, I should go. See you later."
