Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

All eyes turned to her, but no one noticed the glint of intelligence in Ayumi's eyes that seemed beyond her years.

Da da—

The lid of the prop box was opened, releasing Ayumi, who looked completely bewildered.

As Ayumi stepped out of the box, everyone present could see clearly that she still had the figure of an elementary school student, and it was obviously not Kaito Kid in disguise.

"Can...can I leave now?"

"Ayumi" spoke cautiously.

How could that be?

Hakuba Saguru paused for a second, his brows furrowing, but then he quickly realized what was happening and spoke up:

"It's that box! Watch out!"

But it was too late.

The prop box that had just been opened suddenly released a large amount of white smoke, which instantly enveloped most of the venue.

Everything was a vast expanse of white, making it impossible to see anything around us.

"What's going on? What happened?"

"It's that box! There's something wrong with it!"

"Don't panic! Everyone, don't panic! Maintain order! Don't move!"

A commotion broke out among the crowd.

"hateful!"

Conan cursed under his breath, though he was still curious as to why Ayumi had crawled into the box and why she happened to be in the same spot as the trap set by Kaito Kid.

But there was obviously no extra time to think. Following the direction in his memory, Conan quickly stepped forward, climbed over the iron fence, and ran towards the direction where the "Blue North Star" gem was stored.

Hakuba Saguru made the same move as him.

Both of them heard each other's footsteps, but they had no time to pay attention to them. They just hurriedly followed the direction they remembered to the glass display case.

Unfortunately, they were too late. The previously closed glass display case had already been opened, and the gem "Blue North Star" inside had vanished.

Hakuba looked around warily, when a dark figure in the white mist caught his attention.

"there!"

Hakuba Saguru shouted quickly.

At this moment, Conan also noticed the dark figure. He didn't respond, but quickly chased after it as well.

"Don't move! Everyone stay still!"

Officer Nakamori's voice still echoed in the arena.

As the white smoke slowly dissipated, the vision of everyone present gradually returned to normal.

Only then did everyone realize that the glass display case that had held the "Blue North Star" gemstone was now empty, and the lobby door was wide open, clearly indicating that the gemstone had been taken away.

"That damned Kid!"

Officer Nakamori shouted angrily from where he stood, then quickly turned and gave the order:

"Quick! Seal off the building immediately and capture Kidd! Also, activate all the surveillance equipment inside the building right away! Kidd can't have escaped yet! Find him quickly!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!!!"

Upon receiving the order, the police officers at the scene quickly went out and headed outside. Officer Nakamori also turned and left after scanning the lobby, leading a group of police officers and security guards to chase after Kid.

Corinna frowned slightly. Although she had long guessed that the result would most likely be a failure, she did not expect it to be such an easy failure.

but……

Corinna's lips inexplicably curled into a smile.

A failure on the surface is not necessarily a failure!

"Ah... Lord Kid didn't show up this time! I thought I would see him."

Sonoko pouted, looking sullen, and spoke.

Xiao Lan was also a little surprised. She looked around but didn't find anything unusual, so she had to look away.

A casual glance at her wrist revealed something unusual.

"Huh? The notice time is supposed to be 12:02:21, right? There's still about a minute left before the notice time..."

"Ok?"

Xiaolan's sudden outburst immediately attracted the attention of many people present.

Corinna, in particular, looked surprised for a moment before instinctively glancing towards the glass display case.

"Mr. Jirokichi? What are you doing over there?"

Corinna's assistant, Loda, spoke up in confusion, drawing the attention of Sonoko and Corinna.

Suzuki Jirokichi, who had been standing with the others, had somehow moved to the glass display case. He had one hand on the glass cover, a smile on his face, and it was unclear what he was doing.

"Mr. Jirokichi?"

Corinna tentatively called out, "Suzuki Jirokichi," before turning to look at the crowd.

However, he still didn't say anything, but just placed his hand on the glass display case, as if he was looking for something.

Just a few seconds later, he seemed to grab something, and suddenly lifted it up. A thin film standing on the glass cover was torn off, revealing the scene inside.

It looked much the same as before, except that the azure gem "Blue North Star" still lay quietly in the display case.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all tonight. I am... Phantom Thief Kid!"

As they spoke, to everyone's astonishment, Chen Feng gripped the hem of his clothes and, with a little force, lifted the outer disguise, revealing his true appearance.

……

Chapter 407 Strange?

at the same time.

Following the footsteps up the stairs, Hakuba Saguru and Conan, who had chased the sound all the way to the rooftop, suddenly stopped in their tracks.

They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

The footsteps... disappeared?

It disappeared without warning, quite abruptly.

Without a second thought, Hakuba and his companion rushed over, only to find a white dove with a small music player strapped to its body standing at the door.

A pair of dark, shiny eyes looked at the two people with curiosity, seemingly very interested in the two who had followed it all the way here.

"not good!"

The sight before him startled Conan.

Hakuba Saguru, who was standing next to him, was equally surprised. Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly turned around and headed back towards the main hall.

Officer Nakamori, who was following behind, only arrived at this point.

However, before he could stop, he noticed two figures, one tall and one short, quickly returning along the same route. Although puzzled, he instructed the police officer beside him to leave two officers to guard the rooftop, and then led the others to follow them again.

……

The lobby was eerily quiet at that moment.

The people in the hall were either surprised or stunned, standing there like stone statues, speechless.

“Kidd…”

Looking at the white figure not far away, Xiao Lan murmured and took a small step forward, as if she wanted to go forward, but then quickly noticed the surrounding situation and pulled her foot back.

Sonoko quickly came to her senses and excitedly grabbed Ran's hand:

"Lord Kid! It's Lord Kid! Ran, did you see him? I never imagined that my uncle was Lord Kid in disguise! I'm so excited!"

The garden could not hide its excitement.

Xiao Lan nodded slightly, her gaze never leaving the white figure not far away.

Of course, the question of "where is the real Jirokichi Suzuki now?" has been brilliantly ignored by the two of them.

Meanwhile, Genta and Mitsuhiko, who were standing not far away, were completely bewildered by the rapidly changing situation and did not notice that Ayumi's lips curled into a smile, which quickly disappeared.

"Phantom Thief Kid!"

Looking at Chen Feng standing next to the glass display case, Corinna frowned slightly. A look of surprise flashed across her cool face, but it quickly disappeared. She simply watched calmly as Chen Feng took the gemstone out of the glass display case and held it in his hand.

And the time at that moment was exactly 02:24 midnight!

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Miss Corinna.”

Chen Feng placed his hands in front of him, smiled, and then paused, looking towards Sonoko and Ran:

"I'm sorry for deceiving you with a false identity, Ms. Sonoko and Ms. Ran."

"It's alright, it's alright, Lord Kid~"

Sonoko's eyes turned into hearts, and her voice became sweet and gentle.

Xiaolan smiled and nodded in response.

"Kidd! Leave the jewel behind!"

"Loda! Come back!"

Corinna's assistant, Loda, had just stepped forward, intending to snatch the gem from Chen Feng's hand, but Corinna stopped her as soon as she took a step.

Although Loda was puzzled, she stopped and retreated back to Corinna's side. However, when she looked at Chen Feng, the wariness and hostility in her eyes had not disappeared.

Chen Feng didn't seem to mind and maintained his gentle smile.

“Mr. Kidd.”

Corinna remained calm, seemingly unconcerned about the jewels Chen Feng had stolen; she simply looked at Chen Feng indifferently.
