"Uh?"

Hei Yu Qianzi was stunned and tilted his head as if listening attentively, and he was almost about to add "Say it again".

It is true that Serabelle spoke clearly and the content was completely true, but the tone of her speech was almost like sharing what she had for lunch today.

"Wait, speaking of which, I saw on the news more than a week ago that there was a fierce gun battle in Long Island, New York... Did you come up with this?"

"Basic exercises should not be six."

"Six your sister, I'm asking you how you could cause such a big thing."

"It's very simple. We went to confront her and found out that she belonged to a mysterious criminal organization. Then she pulled four tactical teams to bury us. I caught them and held them hostage. I also killed one of them. In exchange, she had to take the other three teams away, and we could get away safely."

Serabelle still used that extremely nonchalant tone.

Kuroba Chiko listened blankly and nodded: "You are amazing."

"Thank you." Serabelle agreed happily.

"I'm not praising you!"

After complaining loudly about this, the Phantom Thief Girl laid back comfortably in the plastic chair, not caring at all that she had been complaining about a few minutes ago as being like an old man sitting in the shade.

"I thought my life was outrageous enough, but now it seems that yours is even more outrageous than mine."

"There's something even more outrageous, do you want to hear it?"

"Forget it."

After a short silence, Serabelle spread her hands and asked, "...So, now that the situation has changed, what are you going to do?"

"My plan is to operate on two fronts."

Kuroba Chiko nodded at the gift box beside the chair that contained the genuine Egg of Memories.

"Since you are here, I'm sure you won't give it to me. But it's okay this way. I will run away with the replica and then claim to have stolen the real thing. When you go back, you can give the real thing to President Suzuki and the others and explain the truth... Pay attention, especially to the matter of Shi Kaobing."

"Understood~"

"Well, in that case, it's about time for me to..."

Kuroba Chiko stood up by supporting herself on the armrests of the plastic chair.

But just as she picked up the suit on the back of the chair and was about to put it on, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the stairwell inside the rooftop door.

The girl looked back in surprise.

"Huh? They woke up so soon? That shouldn't be the case. The amount of gas I have should be enough for them to sleep for about an hour."

The next second, the tightly closed rooftop door was suddenly pushed open by someone's shoulder from the inside, and a small figure came into the sight of the two.

"Kaito Kidd! You have no way to escape!"

"Oh my, I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be you again, kid."

With a chuckle, Kuroba Chiko instantly transformed into the young boy who had disguised himself on the rooftop of Haido Hotel. His originally leisurely dressing movements suddenly sped up... No, it wasn't even sped up anymore.

To be precise, she just waved her cloak casually, and when her figure became clear again, she was fully armed.

"Bravo!"

Serabelle whistled approvingly.

As if in response to his cheers, Kuroba Chiko turned around and winked at him before jumping onto the billboard on the edge of the rooftop.

"Although I really want to know what you encountered in New York, time does not allow it. I will leave this curiosity to be satisfied next time, CIAO~"

After saying that, she leaped into the air, and the hang glider behind her suddenly opened. In the blink of an eye, she flew more than ten meters away in the evening breeze.

It is a speed that even a certain elementary school student’s skateboard engine overclocked to 10G cannot catch up with.

Conan obviously realized this as well. He chased him all the way to the edge of the rooftop, and then watched him leave. He could only pound the ground with both hands unwillingly.

"Damn it! You let him get away on purpose again!"

"Let go? I don't understand what you are saying."

Meanwhile, Serabelle had returned to his tiled throne and gently kicked the ribbon gift box at his feet.

"Here's the real thing."

"Authentic? Then what was just stolen was..."

Conan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head again to the direction where Kidd left.

At this time, the pure white in the night sky has turned into a very small shape of a seagull.

"The details are a bit complicated. I'll tell you slowly on the way back. Anyway, it's not just a fight between detectives and thieves..."

Before he finished his words, a gunshot echoed in the distant night sky.

The white gull falls.

Chapter 133: Everyone is here for profit

At nine o'clock in the evening, on the Suzuki Group cruise ship.

It was not the Sally Beth from before, but another one this time.

The door to the safe inside the cruise ship was open, and outside the door was directly connected to a small living room. There were three sofas in the living room surrounding a coffee table, on which were two identical gift boxes.

One of them was intact, while the other one seemed to have been hit violently, with part of the shell cracked. They had no choice but to throw the shell of the gift box aside, leaving only the base, on which lay the intact Egg of Memory... a replica version.

In addition, there was a white dove with a gunshot wound to its wing but already bandaged, and a broken monocle.

Shiro Suzuki sat on the sofa in the middle, looked at the two gift boxes on the coffee table, then looked at Conan and Serabell sitting on the sofas on both sides, and finally raised his head and looked for advice at his wife, who had been standing behind him with her arms around her and not saying a word.

However, Suzuki Tomoko still didn't speak.

Shiro Suzuki had no choice but to clear his throat.

"So what is the current situation..."

"Let me tell you."

Serabelle sat forward, using her eyes to stop Conan, who was about to speak, and then she sat down.

"Let me first state the conclusion. Kidd did come, but stealing the Egg of Memory was not her real purpose. Her purpose was actually to tell us that someone else was also eyeing the Egg of Memory this time, but it was also because of this that she was sniped by the other party."

"This pigeon and this monocle were found by Conan and I at the beach where we fell. As for Kid himself, he is nowhere to be found."

"Sniper? Sniper!?"

Suzuki Shiro was startled and asked quickly.

"Then you should be okay, have you been seen by the sniper?"

"That's not the case," Serabel answered truthfully.

"Oh, that's good, that's good..."

Suzuki Shiro breathed a sigh of relief.

He wanted to ask more questions with concern, but Suzuki Tomoko, who didn't want to waste time on these unnecessary questions, interrupted him from behind.

"You said Kidd came here to deliver a message, so who is this other person who has set his sights on the Egg of Memory?"

"Scott Bing."

Serabelle was brief and to the point.

"It is said that this is a killer who specializes in collecting treasures from the Romanov dynasty. His name, appearance, age, and gender are unknown."

"It sounds like he's a tougher opponent than Kidd."

Suzuki Tomoko smiled, but there was no fear in her smile.

Serabelle nodded. "That's what happened in a nutshell. So my personal suggestion is to announce to the public that the Egg of Memory was stolen and successfully recovered, and will continue to be exhibited at the Suzuki Museum of Modern Art in Osaka. As for internally, we should announce that it may have been damaged during the journey and needs to be transported back to Tokyo for damage assessment."

"In this way, even if Scoob goes to steal, he will only steal a fake Egg of Memory!" Conan understood.

"If the plan goes well." Serabelle glanced at him.

At the same time, the doorbell suddenly rang at the door of the small living room.

The entire room, including the safe, is soundproofed. The only way to talk to outsiders without opening the door is to use the wired intercom at the door.

Yasuki Tomoko wanted to go over and answer the call, but Serabelle was quicker and came to the door, picked up the receiver and hung up the doorbell.

"Hey?"

"Uh, is this Mr. Sera? I'm Secretary Nishino... Could you please open the door, Mr. Chinnikov and the others..."

Hearing the stumbling sound, Serabelle hung up the phone, then walked to the door, pressed the door handle, and opened the door a crack.

Looking out through the crack in the door, I saw that it was indeed Secretary Nishino standing in the corridor.

There was also a camera sticking out from the side of his head, as if he wanted to record the situation in the room, but it was blocked by Serabelle's figure.

"…If you keep filming, I'll throw your camera off the boat into the sea, and then you'll have to swim out to get it. The cruise ship won't wait for you."

"Eh?"

Secretary Nishino thought he was talking about himself at first and was stunned for a moment, until he noticed that the boy inside the door was looking to the side, and then he realized that there was another person standing next to him.

Hanchuanlong.

"Hey, Mr. Kanchuan, why are you following me again? Didn't I say I wanted to ask President Suzuki for instructions? And this is the ship's vault, so please don't take photos casually..."

"Hi Hi Hi~"

Seeing the camera retracted and the casual response of Ryu Kankawa in the corridor outside the door gradually faded away, Serabelle opened the door and let Secretary Nishino in.

The soundproof door closed and Suzuki Tomoko asked.

"So what's going on?"

Secretary Nishino scratched his head and said, "Yes, it was Mr. Chinnikov and his team. They probably heard about the theft of the Egg of Memory and came here to learn more about the progress."

"This one……"

Shiro Suzuki looked up at his wife again.

However, what responded to him was Suzuki Tomoko's nonchalant chuckle.

"Everyone comes here for profit. Got it. Let them in."

"Yes."

So Secretary Nishino went out.

A moment later, he came in again with a group of people, including Maori Kogoro, a sweet-looking brown-haired young woman whom he had never seen before, and an old man who looked like a butler following behind him.

But Conan seemed to recognize it.

"That is……"

Since the plan had been set, Shiro Suzuki naturally repeated what Serabel had asked, saying that it was indeed stolen blah blah but was found blah blah and that it might have been dropped so it had to be taken back to Tokyo for damage assessment blah blah.

Only after repeating the above did Suzuki Shiro turn his gaze to the brown-haired young woman who followed the others into the room with the old butler.

"By the way, who is this lady?"

"Ah, this is Ms. Kosaka Natsumi."

Realizing that it was his fault, Secretary Nishino leaned forward and said.

"In fact, this lady came to see you when you were out before, and said that she had some clues about the Egg of Memory."

"clue?"

Upon hearing that it was a clue about the Egg of Memory, the secretary of the Russian Embassy and others in the small living room, who had been a little careless, suddenly became alert.

At the same time, Serabelle noticed that Tomoko Suzuki quietly left the table and walked out of the room.

……

The perspective changes, and the warm and soft lights on the deck shrouded in darkness illuminate a small space. A pair of best friends sit opposite each other on an open-air sofa, chatting while drinking juice in the evening breeze.

"Ah~ I'm really pissed off. It's all because of that Officer Nakamori. He had to hide the Egg of Memory in some weird place. I was hoping to get a glimpse of what Kaito Kid looks like, but after waiting for a long time, not only did I not see anything, but there was also a power outage. The air conditioner even stopped working. It was so hot..."

"Well, at least it's not hot now."
