Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

Yukiko, who was being hugged, gave a soft hum and didn't resist. "I know even if you don't say it. You're probably chatting with some pretty girl again, right?"

"Ok?"

Chen Feng looked at Yukiko with great surprise.

Seeing Chen Feng's reaction, Yukiko thought she had guessed correctly, and continued speaking:

"I really didn't expect that you, the internationally wanted phantom thief Kid, would be openly wandering around the city center of Beika every day, and have cooperated with the Metropolitan Police Department more than once. You even became a hired detective for the Metropolitan Police Department, asking Kid himself to arrest Kid. No wonder you can't catch him every time."

Hearing Yukiko say this, Chen Feng didn't refute her, and just quietly looked at her.

Having received no response, Yukiko turned her head in confusion, only to see Chen Feng staring intently at her. She asked, puzzled, "What are you looking at?"

Chen Feng still didn't answer, but slowly moved closer to Yukiko's neck and gently kissed her snow-white collarbone.

"What...what are you doing? Didn't we just...sob..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yukiko's mouth was covered again, and what happened next... was not suitable for children.

……

Several more days passed slowly.

The past few days have been relatively peaceful; Chen Feng has not taken any action, and no other attention-grabbing events have occurred.

It's worth mentioning that the thieves who were arrested in Osaka for posing as police officers were really tough nuts to crack. No matter how they were questioned, all of them insisted that they hadn't stolen anything.

The ancient temple was already empty before they arrived.

Of course, the police definitely wouldn't believe that. As for whether others would believe it... well, Chen Feng would probably believe it, but who knows about the others.

Chapter 400 Another high school detective!

a.

At the Beika City Metropolitan Police Department, a police officer is giving a report to Officer Nakamori.

"Based on the interrogation over the past week, the hijackers on the Suzuki family's yacht have confessed to their entire plan, however..."

“They still insist that they did not steal the stolen antiques and golden Buddha statues. We also investigated the nearby surveillance footage, but the footage had been deliberately damaged, so we could not obtain any useful information.”

Listening to the officer's report, Officer Nakamori rubbed his throbbing temples and said:

"Okay, I understand. If there's nothing else, you can go ahead and do your work."

"Okay, police department."

The officer nodded and left.

As soon as the door was opened, another police officer rushed in.

"Inspector, we just received word that Ms. Corinna, a collector from the United States, is coming to visit us soon. Officer Chaki has asked you to prepare to receive her."

"painter?"

Inspector Nakamori looked up, a puzzled expression on his face, and asked, "Corinna... I seem to recognize her. She's the granddaughter of a very famous collector from the United States, right? What's she doing here?"

"Um...it seems like they're going to hold a gemstone exhibition..."

"What?!!"

Officer Nakamori slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly.

"Holding a gem exhibition in Beika now? Doesn't she know about the recent Phantom Thief Kid incident? Isn't she afraid of being targeted at this time?"

"Um... Officer Chaki has already asked about this, and the answer they gave was that they welcome anyone who wants to visit the gem."

Upon hearing this answer, Officer Nakamori frowned and pondered for a moment.

"Snap, that's right."

As if suddenly remembering something, the officer looked up at Officer Nakamori again and said, "Officer Chaki also said that someone will come tomorrow afternoon to take charge of this matter."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"I don't know, I only heard he was a high school detective, something like... Hakuba Saguru..."

……

The next day at the coffee shop.

Chen Feng was delivering several cups of coffee to Xiao Lan, Sonoko, and Eri.

"Enjoy your meal, Attorney Fei."

"Thank you."

Eri Kisaki took the coffee cup and nodded with a smile.

He brought the coffee to his lips, opened his mouth to take a sip, and nodded slightly, as if he was very satisfied with the taste.

Similarly, Sonoko and the others reacted in much the same way.

She swallowed it in one gulp, then turned her head with a grin to look in Akemi's direction:

“Mingmei, if you ask me, your skills are already almost as good as Chen's. You could totally go out and work on your own! If you don’t mind, you can come to our house anytime. We happen to be looking for a good barista.”

Ran nodded in agreement with Sonoko's words.

"Huh? Sonoko, do you really have to poach people so blatantly in front of your boss?"

Chen Feng feigned surprise and spoke.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, but it's your fault for running away every few days, leaving the shop to Mingmei all by herself. I can't even tell if you're the boss or Mingmei is the boss."

Sonoko said "sorry" but there was no remorse on her face.

Seeing this, Mingmei just chuckled and played along, saying, "That's true. Well then, my dear boss, if you don't give me a raise for all the hard work I've put in, I'm going to quit."

"Jump now, Akemi, I support you!"

"Me too!"

Sonoko and Ran were joking around, one after the other.

Only Conan was drawn to a piece of information in the newspaper:

[Ms. Corinna, granddaughter of Mr. Garcia, a renowned collector and jeweler from the UK, will be visiting the Japanese Rice Flower Market tomorrow for a large-scale jewelry exhibition. Please stay tuned...]

"Jewelry...exhibition?"

Conan was so captivated by those words that he was momentarily lost in thought.

The yacht incident caused quite a stir a few days ago, and the buzz hasn't died down yet. Why would anyone choose to hold a jewelry exhibition in Beika City at this time? It doesn't make sense!

Conan frowned, deep in thought.

Just then, the door to the coffee shop was pushed open.

As the mechanical cat at the door greeted everyone with "Welcome," everyone's attention turned to the three people who had just entered.

The first person was dressed in a formal suit, but with light makeup on her face. However, it still couldn't hide her obvious dark circles under her eyes, making her look like she hadn't had enough rest. This was Sato Miwako, who was familiar with Chen Feng.

The two people following behind Sato Miwako were somewhat mysterious.

The person in the middle, in particular, was completely covered up with a mask, sunglasses, and a hat, as if she were afraid of being recognized.

"Chen, three mochas, hurry up!"

Sato Miwako yawned and waved her hand as she spoke.

"Okay, it'll be ready in a bit."

Chen Feng smiled and nodded, then asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"It's not that I didn't get enough rest, it's that I didn't sleep all night!"

Sato Miwako spoke with some displeasure.

She was supposed to be off work last night, but because the second department was short-staffed, she was temporarily transferred there, which meant she didn't get a full night's sleep.

"So hard, huh? You've got dark circles under your eyes, but you still haven't found a boyfriend."

Chen Feng made a sarcastic remark from the side.

Sato Miwako didn't react to what Chen Feng said. Normally, she would have given him a few words of retort, but at this moment she was yawning and didn't even have the energy to retaliate.

After greeting Ran and the others, Sato Miwako sat down at the next table.

She didn't forget to call out to the two people behind her, "Miss Corinna and Miss Loda, please have a seat."

With that, Sato Miwako sat down first.

The woman called "Corinna" nodded slightly upon hearing this. After sitting down in front of Miwako Sato, she reached out and removed the sunglasses, hat, and other coverings from her face, revealing a delicate and aloof face.

A pair of sky-blue, jewel-like eyes surveyed their surroundings, finally settling on Sato Miwako:

"Miss Miwako, where are we going next?"

"If there's nothing else, I think you two should rest at an apartment near the Metropolitan Police Department. We've already arranged accommodations for you there, and your safety will be our responsibility until the exhibition begins."

Hearing Sato Miwako's words, Corinna nodded noncommittally: "Then I'll take my leave."

"You're welcome."

Miwako Sato chatted casually with Corinna in front of her.

Perhaps due to her poor mental state, Sato Miwako didn't have much energy to talk to the other person. Corinna, seeing this, wisely refrained from saying anything more, simply turning her head to look at the scenery outside the window and remaining silent.

……

Chapter 401 "The Blue North Star"

"Sister, is that you in the newspaper?"

A sound caught the attention of Corinna and her assistant, Loda.

Upon seeing that it was a child speaking, Loda frowned and instinctively wanted to step forward, but Corinna stopped her.

"Yes, it's me. What can I do for you, little brother?"

Corinna turned to look at Conan, who was holding a newspaper, and asked in confusion.
