Chapter 748 (Main Text 750) The smile won't disappear, it will only shift.

While still eating, Suzuki Jirokichi said without looking up, "This is a very important lure. If I don't have this gem, how can I entice Kaito Kid? So I'm very sorry, I can't sell you this gem."

"Never mind then." Yamabuki Hanajin suddenly leaned closer and whispered, "I forgot to tell you, I put poison in the bento box I just handed you."

Jirokichi Suzuki, who was eating, froze in his tracks.

Oh no, is this woman serious?

"If you don't want to die from the poison, you'd better cancel tonight's operation," Yamabuki Hanajin continued in a low voice.

"What...what are you saying...I don't understand at all? This joke is no joke at all. You didn't actually poison the bento, did you?" Suzuki Jirokichi's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"No, you're not the real Suzuki Jirokichi. I should call you Kaito Kid, right?" Yamabuki Hanajin saw right through the other's disguise.

There's nothing I can do; I'm a master of disguise today too.

Hitomi Kisugi once disguised herself as another woman to seduce her boyfriend in order to see if he was truly sincere towards her.

Her makeup skills are clearly top-notch.

Kaito Kid, still forcing a smile, said, "You must be mistaken. How could I possibly be Kaito Kid?"

"Did I make a mistake? Well, I guess I did. I'm really looking forward to your magic show tonight, and I won't give you the antidote if it doesn't satisfy me." Yamabuki Hanajin then pretended nothing had happened and continued eating.

That's right, this Suzuki Jirokichi is actually Kaito Kid in disguise. The real Suzuki Jirokichi has been drugged and left in some unknown corner.

Jirokichi Suzuki is a very easygoing person. Although he holds a high position, he dislikes being restricted the most.

He often rode around on his motorcycle alone, without any guards or bodyguards, which made him very vulnerable.

It's far too easy for Phantom Thief Kid to find a weakness in him.

"Who exactly is this woman? How could she tell my background at a glance?" Phantom Thief Kid even began to doubt his own disguise.

But by then it was already late, and the time he had predicted was fast approaching.

In order to preserve his reputation, Phantom Thief Kid must put on a grand magic show tonight and reveal the jewel.

Kaito Kuroba should be considered the second Kaito Kid. The first Kaito Kid was his father, but he "died" a few years ago due to a magic show mishap.

Kaito Kuroba learns that his father is searching for a gem that is likely connected to a dark organization.

Kaito Kuroba steals all sorts of precious gems, but if he finds that the gem isn't the one he wants, he returns it.

The gem he found today has absolutely nothing to do with the gem he was looking for. It was simply because Jirokichi Suzuki was being sarcastic and openly provoked Kaito Kid.

Who hasn't been young and impetuous at some point?

For a seventeen-year-old boy, this provocation was far too blatant; a way had to be found to settle things.

But who could have imagined that a wicked woman would suddenly appear out of nowhere?

"In that case, beautiful lady, look forward to my spectacular magic show tonight." Having realized his identity had been exposed, Phantom Thief Kid decided not to hide it anymore.

Using Suzuki Jirokichi's appearance, he swaggered into the museum.

His plan was actually very simple.

Kaito Kid disguised himself as Jirokichi Suzuki and then used the same trick again, performing a magic trick of walking in the air under the lights. But in reality, the person behind the magic trick was a real person, a dummy suspended from a helicopter.

The dummy will attract everyone's attention, while Kaito Kid himself will ride Suzuki Jirokichi's motorcycle and quietly leave the scene with the stolen jewels.

That was his entire plan.

I'm such a planner.

Kaito Kid laughed heartily, "You'd never guess my plan, would you?"

The magic show was about to start.

Countless spectators were waiting below. To these ordinary people, Kaito Kid was not just a phantom thief, but also a top-notch magician.

I was so happy to be able to observe this magic show so closely.

Unbeknownst to Kaito Kid, his magic tricks had already been figured out.

The time has come.

Suddenly, a white mist appeared in mid-air, and then, Phantom Thief Kid appeared suspended in the sky, causing the audience below to gasp in surprise.

The police were also at a loss, not knowing what to do.

"Ladies and gentlemen! The grand magic show tonight is about to begin!"

People can't see very clearly at night, and since the location where Phantom Thief Kid appeared was high above the ground, it was impossible for anyone to observe him up close. So no one realized that it was just a dummy, and the voices and footsteps were coming from a tape recorder in his pocket.

Meanwhile, the real Phantom Thief Kid has secretly arrived at the location where the gem is hidden. If he can take the gem, he will win this game.

However, as soon as he opened the box containing the gems, instead of beautiful sapphires, he found a fist popping out.

Thankfully, Phantom Thief Kid ran away quickly.

"Mr. Phantom Thief Kid! This sapphire is now in my hands." Yamabuki Hanajin suddenly appeared, blocking the back door, and holding a large sapphire in her hand, tossing it into the air repeatedly.

"What a beautiful and intelligent lady." Phantom Thief Kid gently pressed down his hat, a calm smile on his face.

It seems he still has some tricks up his sleeve.

Yamabuki Hanajin held the sapphire in her hand: "Phantom Thief Kid, I know what you're thinking. You're definitely going to steal this gem back when I'm not looking. But..."

Suddenly, Yamabuki Hanajin walked to the window and tossed the gem into the night sky.

"..."

"Next, we'll test your ability to find things. Good luck, Phantom Thief Kid, get the lost jewel back first. I'm going to sleep now." Yamabuki Hanajin looked at the Phantom Thief Kid in front of her, and couldn't be happier.

Kaito Kid smiled wryly: "Fine, I admit defeat. You win. I'll leave now. Since we're all in the same line of work, please spare me this time."

With that, Kaito Kid walked past Yamabuki Hanajin.

It seems that everything has been settled.

Kaito Kid leaves through the gate, disguised as Jirokichi Suzuki.

But just as Phantom Thief Kid was out of sight of Yamabuki Hanajiki, he suddenly smiled smugly.

Just as the two of them shifted their positions, Phantom Thief Kid had already obtained the real sapphire.

"You're no match for me. Do you think I don't know there are two gems, one real and one fake? The one you lost is definitely the fake one. The real one is on you." Phantom Thief Kid looked at the sapphire smugly, but soon, his smile vanished.

Chapter 749 (Main Text 751) A Rhapsody of Detective and Phantom Thief

Phantom Thief Kid rode his little motorcycle, examining the gem in his hand under the moonlight. The more he looked, the uglier his expression became.

"How could this be? This gem is fake!" Phantom Thief Kid never expected that he would be fooled by a wicked woman. Could there really be a woman in this world who wouldn't be swayed by his charm?

Just then, Kaito Kid's phone rang. It was Yamabuki Hanajin's voice on the other end: "Kid, you should have realized by now that the gem in your hand is fake, right? I know you're a phantom thief, how could I not be on guard against you? Actually, the gem I just threw was real, but you didn't believe me. And I forgot to tell you, I'm a phantom thief too. While you were stealing the fake gem from me, I was also stealing something from you."

Kaito Kid took a deep breath. "I, Kid, am invincible. How could I have been defeated by a woman this time? If word gets out, I'll be a laughingstock."

"What exactly do you want? You're not thinking of stealing my heart, are you?" Kaito Kid said half-jokingly.

“It’s good that young people are confident, but I don’t want to steal your heart. I’m going to steal Nakamori Aoko’s heart instead,” Yamabuki Hanajin said with a smile on the phone.

Kaito Kid panicked upon hearing Aoko Nakamori's name: "Wait, what does this have to do with Aoko? And why are you being so ambiguous? You're a girl too, right? How did you steal Aoko's heart?"

"Young man, you're still too young. Who says two girls can't have something happen between them?" Yamabuki Hanajin laughed heartily, and Kaito Kid felt like his white hat had changed color.

"You bastard! Let's talk about terms!" Phantom Thief Kid said immediately, because he couldn't let Aoko get involved no matter what.

"No way!" Yamabuki Hanajin readily rejected Kaito Kid's offer.

Kaito Kid was even more confused. "You went through all this trouble just to negotiate with me, didn't you? Why aren't you negotiating now? Is this some kind of 'playing hard to get' strategy?"

"Little brother, what do you think I'm going to all this trouble for? Of course, it's for fun! Watching you get chased so hard you have nowhere to run, fleeing in a sorry state, is a reward in itself. Nothing in this world is more important than happiness." Yamabuki Hanajin laughed heartily: "And you can take a look at what's on the seat next to the motorcycle, I guarantee you'll be very surprised."

Is Phantom Thief Kid's mind going blank? Not for money, not for fame, just for fun? How can there be such a person in the world?

And what about the seat next to the motorcycle? He was currently riding a three-seater motorcycle with another seat next to him. Kaito Kid immediately looked over and realized that Conan had gotten on the motorcycle at some point, and not only that, he also had a tranquilizer gun pointed at him.

"Oh no! The situation couldn't be worse!" Although Kaito Kid appeared calm on the surface, he was actually sweating profusely.

"I've finally found you, Phantom Thief Kid. I heard everything on the phone just now. You mentioned the name Aoko! Could she be the girl you like?" Conan stared at Phantom Thief Kid.

Kaito Kid stared at Conan with a forced smile: "Little brother, I don't understand a word you're saying! I'm Suzuki Jirokichi, how could I possibly be Kaito Kid?"

Conan stared calmly at Kaito Kid: "You don't need to deny it. I knew you weren't really Uncle Suzuki the first time I saw you today. Uncle Suzuki is old and has difficulty seeing, so he wears contact lenses. But you don't even have contact lenses, do you?"

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Phantom Thief Kid no longer bothered to hide it. He tore off his mask and stared straight at Conan: "As expected of you, I've finally fallen for the two of you this time."

"Don't move, my tranquilizer gun is pointed at you." Conan calmly looked at Kaito Kid.

“We’re moving at high speed right now. If you drug me, we’ll both die here.” Kaito Kid stared at Conan.

“I already thought of this simple problem.” Conan stared intently at Kaito Kid: “As long as we both perish, that’s fine.”

Kaito Kid nearly coughed up blood. This was completely different from what I expected. Aren't you a detective? Why have you turned into a daredevil? What good would it do you to die together with me?

Conan stared at Kaito Kid: "I'm happy, that's it. My worldview has been rebooted many times, and now I understand it all. The most important thing in life is to be happy. Once I turn back into an adult, the first thing I'll do is confess to the person I like, and then we'll get married and have kids together."

Kaito Kid was completely numb. "Why are all the people I've met today crazy? Isn't there a single normal one?" In desperation, Kaito Kid immediately detached the motorcycle from the seat, throwing Conan backward repeatedly. But Conan remained calm and fired the tranquilizer gun into the motorcycle's gas tank: "Goodbye, Kaito Kid."

Conan took out a lighter and casually tossed it on the ground. The flames shot towards Kaito Kid along with the gasoline.

"Aaaaaah! You bunch of lunatics!"

"boom!!!!"

It was another peaceful day in Beika Town.

Kaito Kid managed to avoid being blown up by hiding under a bridge at the last second. What's wrong with the people in this world? Why have they become so strange?

This little detective used to be so cute, could he have suffered some kind of trauma?

Just as he was feeling troubled, Kaito Kid's phone rang again, and the person on the other end was Yamabuki Hanajin.

"How was it, young phantom thief? Did you enjoy the grand banquet I arranged for you?"

"I love it, I love it so much!" Phantom Thief Kid gritted his teeth, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

"Oh, right, I've already thought of tomorrow morning's headlines. They'll be: 'Shocking! Phantom Thief Kid commits such a heinous act to steal jewels,' or 'Phantom Thief Kid's true identity is actually a human trafficker? Is this a moral decline or a distortion of humanity?'"

Kaito Kid yelled, "Don't slander my innocence! How could I possibly be a human trafficker? The little detective came on his own. And the media wouldn't write something like that, would they? Why should they listen to you?"

Yamabuki Hanajin's smile widened even more: "Of course the media will listen to me, because just now, I bought all the newspapers in Beika Town. What can I do? I'm rolling in money today."

"Also, there's something else I want to tell you, about Aoko! Do you want to hear it?"

Chapter 750 (Main Text 752) The Day of Suffering for Phantom Thief Kid

"Aoko? What does our feud have to do with Aoko? I'm warning you, if you dare drag Aoko into this, I'll make you regret it." Phantom Thief Kid panicked immediately.

"What are you talking about? I just have something to tell you. There's a very strange switch in the human body. When two girls look at each other for ten seconds, a very magical chemical reaction occurs," Yamabuki Hanajin said leisurely.

Kaito Kid sensed something was off about the other person's tone.

"Actually, I just arranged for you to go to the movies with Aoko. It's a late-night showing, and there will only be the two of you in the whole theater, so you can't hide it even if you want to. If you don't go, Aoko will definitely think you stood her up, and your relationship will become really bad, right?" Yamabuki Hanajin's smile was harder to suppress than AK's.

Kaito Kid has realized the seriousness of the problem.

I only stole a gemstone, and you've made me risk my happiness for the rest of my life. You're such a vicious woman.

"If you can't get to the movie theater on time, Aoko will be really sad, after all, she likes you so much. A sad girl needs comfort, and I, her caring older sister, will take the initiative to comfort her. I'll watch the movie with her, have a late-night snack with her, and then we'll have that classic ten-second eye contact. As for the last part… let's go to a hotel and get a room… and do some unspeakable things…"

Kaito Kid, his face contorted with rage, yelled into the phone, "You beast! You animal! How could you do this to Aoko?"

"So... there are still fifteen minutes until the movie starts, good luck. Also, did you see those helicopters in the sky? Those are all hired by me. They will do everything they can to catch you, as for whether you can escape in the end... that depends on your own abilities." After saying these words, Yamabuki Hanajin hung up the phone.

Money really can buy you anything.

At this moment, Yamabuki Hanajin was sitting in the helicopter, smiling as she looked down at Kaito Kid.

"Fifteen minutes? Damn it, there should be several movie theaters around here, right? Which one should I go to?" Phantom Thief Kid felt like his head was about to explode.

Concern gets flustered when he's worried. Conan has such amazing deductive skills that he can stay calm when solving ordinary cases, but once Ran is involved... to hell with calmness, Ran!

Kaito Kid suddenly realized that there was a famous detective right next to him.

He didn't care whether he would be caught or not, and ran desperately to Conan's side.

Conan originally thought that Kaito Kid had already escaped, but to his surprise, Kaito Kid actually returned at this time.

"Great Detective! You have to save me this time! It's a matter of life and death! I have a friend whose girlfriend invited him to a movie. If he can't get there within fifteen minutes, she might leave with someone else. Assuming my friend is right here, which movie theater is his girlfriend most likely to be in?" Kaito Kid looked at Conan with hopeful eyes.

Conan silently thought to himself, "That friend you're talking about isn't you, is it?"

“Don’t worry about the details! There are three movie theaters around here. Which one is his girlfriend most likely to go to? If you’re willing to tell me the truth… I promise… I won’t steal anything again for a month.” Phantom Thief Kid shouted.
