Isn't it very scientific to use the Death Note to kill people?

Lin Jiashu smiled, squatted down, and whispered a few words to him.

Conan looked surprised for a moment, then grinned.

"OK"

He turned and left.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

On the rooftop, Ran and her friends were now closer to the Phantom Thief Kid, who was walking in mid-air.

Under the heavy rain, they could vaguely see the thin thread hanging from "Kaito Kid's" shoulder.

But not long after, Phantom Thief Kid suddenly let out a "hiss!" and released a large amount of white smoke, and his entire body deflated.

Koizumi Akako chuckled as she watched the scene unfold.

"Ran, do you think Yoshiki-san will catch Phantom Thief Kid this time?"

The answer is yes.

The person who answered was Koizumi Akako.

While everyone else stood up in surprise at the presence of Kaito Kid early in the morning, she remained elegantly seated at the table throughout.

"..."

Seeing her more certain look than anyone else, Sonoko pursed her lips, and Ran, who hadn't expected the other woman to have so much confidence in Hayashi Yoshiki, couldn't help but smile.

Hongzi kept saying that Yoshiki liked her, but judging from this, it seems that she is the one who likes Yoshiki.

But she's really beautiful...

However, Yoshiki clearly stated that he didn't like her, and even gave her a very obvious look.

Was it because you were worried that you might misunderstand?

She couldn't help but have this thought, but what surfaced in her heart at this moment wasn't a secret joy... well, maybe, perhaps just a tiny bit? But at the same time, she also felt a sense of guilt—a guilt for her behavior of discovering Yoshiki's feelings but pretending not to notice.

Don't misunderstand.

Koizumi Akako keenly sensed that they seemed to have misunderstood something, and she immediately declared haughtily, "This is just the result of divination."

Chapter 316: Sigh, can we reconcile?

"Hehe, everyone thought I was going to come down from the sky and steal the jewels, right?"

"How naive."

"This is what they call being too clever for your own good. The more you get caught up in the secret of walking in the air, the less attention you'll pay back to the ground."

The back door of the Suzuki Museum

Jirokichi Suzuki, carrying a garbage bag, ran quickly toward his sidecar motorcycle that he had parked nearby earlier that morning.

The garbage bag contained the priceless Blue Miracle.

After borrowing a few police officers from Ginzo Nakamori, he told them that he was going to disguise himself as a sanitation worker, put the Blue Miracle in a garbage bag, and take it away, while they would protect an empty safe and leave to distract Kaito Kid.

Since Phantom Thief Kid was still in the sky at the time, the police officers left without suspecting anything and took the safe.

Jirokichi Suzuki... who is also known as Kaito Kid, threw the bag in his hand onto the sidecar of the motorcycle, then rode on himself, inserted the key, and started the engine.

Boom!

The dashboard lights up, the needle moves up and then returns to its original position.

The engine's hum proved that the motorcycle was in excellent condition.

Kaito Kuroba happily twisted the throttle to its maximum.

With a high-pitched roar from the engine, the sidecar motorcycle unleashed a burst of powerful horsepower, struggling to move forward less than a meter before coming to a stop.

What the hell?

Kaito Kuroba was taken aback. He looked down at the tires and found that both tires of the motorcycle had been deflated and locked with chains.

He immediately had a bad feeling.

"Do you need help, Mr. Phantom Thief?"

"Alas!!!!"

Upon first hearing Yoshiki Hayashi's voice, Kaito Kuroba reacted like a little girl who had suddenly encountered a mouse.

He sat up abruptly and then saw Lin Jiashu standing in front of him, smiling at him.

What are you doing here!?

If it were anyone else, Kaito Kuroba might still try to argue and claim he's some kind of phantom thief, or that he's Jirokichi Suzuki... but with Yoshiki Hayashi, that beast, better save your breath.

On the contrary, Hayashi Yoshiki seemed to find his question strange.

"You were the one who told me to do everything in my power to catch Phantom Thief Kid."

"..."

Kaito Kuroba suddenly felt a pang of regret, like he had shot himself in the foot.

He looked at Lin Jiashu, his tone subtly softening: "Hey, can we reconcile?"

"Are you joking at this moment?"

Upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba grabbed a trash bag from the sidecar and tried to slip away.

But a hand stopped him.

Conan, hiding in the sidecar, grabbed the trash bag and gave a provocative smile:

"Forget about this gem, Phantom Thief Kid."

"Even you, brat, are here?!"

This is really bad!

The moment the thought crossed Kaito Kuroba's mind, he caught a glimpse of Yoshiki Hayashi approaching out of the corner of his eye.

He immediately decided to get up and slip away.

When the person tried to get up, they found themselves seemingly stuck.

"What the hell?!"

"I estimated the time and applied super glue to the seat of this motorcycle about ten seconds after you came out."

"You're so despicable!?"

"There's no other way. My assistant keeps saying that the agency's popularity has been declining recently, and they haven't had any cases to take on for a long time, so they sent me to come and help you boost the agency's popularity."

"..."

Kaito Kuroba was immediately annoyed.

He watched helplessly as Lin Jiashu walked over, and tried his best to struggle, but the super glue was more powerful than he had imagined.

Conan clicked his tongue as he looked at his disheveled appearance.

Hayashi Yoshiki's actions truly gave him a lot of new ideas—in the past, when he was chasing Phantom Thief Kid, he always thought about solving his magic tricks and puzzles and then catching him face to face, but Hayashi Yoshiki chose to wait for him to fall into his trap.

In comparison, the latter requires him to see through Kaito Kid's thoughts early on and be able to see where Kaito Kid's escape route is.

Conan, who was in charge of deflating the tires and locking them with chains, knew very well that the chains and super glue were prepared by Yoshiki Hayashi beforehand. In other words, he probably had already seen through Kaito Kid's entire plan before he even arrived here...

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but feel relieved that Yoshiki Hayashi wasn't a real member of the Black Organization.

Tear!

The sound of tearing fabric brought Conan back to reality from his thoughts.

Beside him, Kaito Kuroba, who had struggled to finally stand up, stopped awkwardly. He looked back and saw that his pants had been ripped open, with the remaining fabric still stuck to the motorcycle.

"Checkmate."

Lin Jiashu handcuffed his right hand.

"Really? I just helped you out a few days ago. Didn't we agree that we were comrades-in-arms with a common enemy?"

"We're all on the same side, but on that basis, you're the phantom thief and I'm the detective." Lin Jiashu said, a cheerful smile on his face. "I hope you still remember the joke I made three days ago."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba, who was initially a little flustered, instinctively looked at Conan, then turned to Yoshiki Hayashi and retorted, "You're always thinking about how to trick people..."

Despite his words, he couldn't help but smile.

Conan was confused.

At that moment, Lin Jiashu took out his phone and took a picture.

He sent it to Hakuba Saguru.

Lin Jiashu: "We caught him."

Hakuba Saguru: "!!"

Although Hakuba Saguru was far away, he was watching the live television broadcast of Kaito Kid's actions that night.

Although the photos taken by Yoshiki Hayashi showed Kaito Kid disguised as Jirokichi Suzuki, Saguru Hakuba was certain without hesitation that it was Kaito Kid.

Hakuba Saguru: "Quick! Tear off his mask! That way we can definitively confirm Kaito Kid's true identity!"

"Phantom Thief Kid!!!"

"There it is!"

"Grab him now!!!"

At this moment, Nakamori Ginzo, who had finally come to his senses from his subordinates' reports, led his men and rushed over. His eyes were fixed on the Phantom Thief Kid, who looked like Suzuki Jirokichi, as he roared and led the police and a group of reporters on a wild run.

When they got closer, they discovered that the other person had already been handcuffed by Lin Jiashu.

"Thank you for your hard work, Officer Nakamori, but I've caught him."

Lin Jiashu looked at him and said, "The rest is up to you."

"Huh? Oh, oh!"

The "arch-nemesis" he had been relentlessly pursuing had once again fallen into the hands of this young man. Nakamori Ginzo was somewhat surprised, but he reacted very quickly and stepped forward to take over the handcuffs of Phantom Thief Kid.

At this point, the reporters who followed began frantically taking pictures.

The scene where Nakamori Ginzo takes the Phantom Thief Kid from Hayashi Yoshiki, under the spotlight, resembles a historic moment.

At this moment, a reporter shouted:

"Is this really Kaito Kid and not Jirokichi Suzuki himself!?"

"Mr. Lin, how exactly does Phantom Thief Kid manage to walk in the air? Have you figured out his method?"

"Mr. Lin!"

"..."

"..."

The noisy shouts did not affect Nakamori Ginzo's excited mood at all.

Seeing that Phantom Thief Kid had finally fallen into his hands once again, he laughed heartily:

"You're not getting away this time! Phantom Thief Kid, let me take off your mask and see your true face!"

As he spoke, he reached out his hand towards Kaito Kuroba's disguise.

Chapter 317: The Phantom Thief Kid's true identity is Shinichi Kudo!

Ginzo Nakamori reached out his hand to the face that Kaito Kid was disguised as.

Eighteen years!

Having personally removed the disguise from Phantom Thief Kid and seen his face, Ginzo Nakamori had waited eighteen years for this moment!

He didn't know how the passersby would react, nor did he know what the reporters expected, but for Nakamori Ginzo, the inspector of the Second Investigation Division, this would be a historic moment with an overwhelming impact!

"Redeem yourself right, Phantom Thief Kid!"

His hand grabbed Kaito Kid's face.

It was softer than a normal person's face; a single press of the fingers could crumple it. At that moment, Nakamori Ginzo excitedly ripped off the other person's face—
