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

Click!

Click, click, click!

Countless flashes went off wildly in that instant.

The moment Kaito Kid's disguise was finally revealed, before Nakamori Ginzo could even express his surprise at seeing that familiar face, the reporters were already uttering sounds of astonishment and disbelief:

"Kudo Shinichi!?"

What Shinichi Kudo?

Before Nakamori Ginzo could react, the reporters in Beika Town were in an uproar.

"That missing high school detective, Shinichi Kudo!?"

"what!!!"

"what happened?"

"The Heisei era's Sherlock Holmes has suddenly transformed into a phantom thief!?"

"A shocking truth—! Viewers, did you see that?! Kaito Kid's identity is actually Shinichi Kudo!"

"..."

"..."

The uproar at the scene was like a thunderclap.

Yoshiki Hayashi also feigned surprise: "...How could this be, Kudo-kun?"

"!!!"

Conan, who was originally looking forward to seeing the real Phantom Thief Kid, was first taken aback, then felt a chill run down his spine. When he heard Hayashi Yoshiki's words, he immediately turned his head and looked at him with an incredulous expression.

What?

what?

What are you doing, Lin Jiashu?!

Conan, who was just excited about catching Kaito Kid and felt energized all over, suddenly felt cold and shivering.

He immediately shouted, "No! This person isn't Shinichi-nii at all!!"

"Tch, I didn't expect my true identity to be exposed... That's right, I am Shinichi Kudo!"

As if trying to drown out Conan's voice, Kaito Kid suddenly shouted in a loud voice.

Although he had disappeared for some time, Shinichi Kudo's voice was still fresh in the minds of many reporters in Beika Town, and his shout caused an uproar at the scene.

Conan is furious.

His scalp tingled, and he immediately wanted to throw away the trash bag in his hand and run up to tear Kuroba Kaito's face again, but the reporters at the scene reacted even more intensely than him.

The Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, the savior of the Japanese police, a high school detective from the Kanto region who had been missing for a long time suddenly transformed into the Lupin of the Heisei era. This shocking fact drove the reporters completely crazy, even ignoring the shouts of the police, and they rushed forward to shove microphones in his face:

"Shinichi Kudo! Are you really Shinichi Kudo!?"

"Why did you become Phantom Thief Kid?!"

"What are your thoughts on being arrested by Lin Jiashu today?"

"Is the reason you, as a detective, disappeared because you wanted to become the Phantom Thief Kid?"

"..."

Still bewildered by the reporters' reaction, Nakamori Ginzo was surprised to find that it was Kudo Shinichi instead of Kuroba Kaito. However, when he saw the reporters frantically crowding around him and even rushing to his side, he suddenly panicked.

"Wait! Everyone, move aside!"

"He's trying to escape!"

"Grab Phantom Thief Kid with all your might—"

Hehe

Kaito Kuroba grinned as he was pushed up by the crowd.

His hands slipped from the handcuffs as if by magic, and in that instant, he threw down a smoke bomb hidden under his clothes—

boom!

Thick white smoke was released.

When he came to his senses and realized that Kaito Kid was no longer by his side, Nakamori Ginzo was startled.

Conan, annoyed, squeezed into the smoke from the smoke bomb.

Damn it, we have to catch Phantom Thief Kid and expose his true colors, otherwise Shinichi Kudo's reputation will be ruined!

However, the incident happened suddenly, and the smoke was so thick that it completely obscured their vision. Kaito Kuroba had already taken this opportunity to disguise himself and blend into the crowd.

He even took advantage of the chaos to reach for the trash bag that Conan had just put down.

The Blue Miracle was placed in the hands of the Golden Statue. Taking the statue away would be too conspicuous, but Kaito Kuroba's initial goal was only the jewel.

hum...

Lin Jiashu probably didn't expect it to turn into such chaos, so in the end, he still won the game.

After the thick smoke cleared, all that was left for Nakamori Ginzo was an empty pair of handcuffs and his clothes left behind.

He stared at the pile of things, and it took him a long time to barely accept the reality.

But I was still so angry that my liver hurt.

"asshole!!!!"

The reporters, completely unconcerned that the chaos they had created had caused this scene, continued to faithfully record it with their cameras.

Kaito Kuroba had also turned into a reporter, taking several pictures with a camera that he had either prepared in advance or stolen during the chaos. However, he soon noticed a hand reaching into his pocket.

It is Hayashi Yoshiki.

"Sir, may I borrow something from you?"

"..."

Faced with his smiling face, Kaito Kuroba couldn't bring himself to say no.

He could only force a smile and let Hayashi Yoshiki take the Blue Miracle from his pocket.

"How was it discovered?"

Kaito Kuroba lowered his voice as if gritting his teeth.

"There were only about forty people present. Wouldn't it be suspicious if a completely unfamiliar face suddenly appeared?"

"You've memorized all the faces here in such a short time?"

He couldn't help but curse under his breath as an animal.

Meanwhile, Conan, who was frantically searching his surroundings, noticed the conversation between Hayashi Yoshiki and him. Realizing that it was Kaito Kid, he didn't have time to think and immediately opened his watch and pointed it in their direction.

call out!

The anesthetic needle was fired.

In a moment of panic, Kaito Kuroba dodged, and the tranquilizer dart flew past him, accurately hitting an innocent passerby on the other side.

"Whoa! That was close—"

He made a comment.

The sound of the reporter collapsing after being hit by the tranquilizer dart attracted the attention of others. Seeing this, Kaito Kuroba immediately grinned and slipped away to the side.

"It's Phantom Thief Kid! Don't let him get away!!!"

Nakamori Ginzo reacted instantly.

For the reporters, the presence of Yoshiki Hayashi, holding the Blue Miracle and smiling broadly, standing next to the fleeing figure of Phantom Thief Kid was too conspicuous, and their camera lenses all followed this scene.

Seeing this, Lin Jiashu was not stingy.

He flashed a refreshing, even sweet, smile, and made a peace sign at the camera while holding the Blue Miracle.

"You've all worked hard tonight, everyone."

This was said to the reporters and photographers.

However, it was also broadcast live on television to every household in Beika Town.

Chapter 318: Yellow Mud Falls into My Crotch

The Heisei era's Sherlock Holmes is actually the Heisei era's Lupin!?

Shocking Identity Reversal

High school detective Shinichi Kudo disappears for several days, only to reappear as an international master thief!

Information about visiting Shinichi Kudo

The identity of Phantom Thief Kid has been revealed!

The timing of Shinichi Kudo's disappearance and the reappearance of Phantom Thief Kid almost coincides!

The next day, news about this was everywhere in Tokyo.

Not only the media, but also ordinary citizens are discussing this matter in private. Now you can hear people talking about it everywhere you go.

"Good heavens, I never expected Kudo to have such a secret identity."

"How could it be me!?"

"Haha! So how are you feeling right now?"

Hearing the Kansai dialect greeting coming from the other end of the phone, Conan, his face dark with anger, now only wanted to eat people.

He hung up the phone, feeling extremely frustrated.

Conan came out of the bathroom and entered the living room to hear Sonoko shouting and yelling:

"What the heck? The Phantom Thief Kid I was so looking forward to is actually Kudo?!"

No, no, no, no!

"I can not accept!"

"That damned Shinichi Kudo, he ruined all my imagination and expectations!"

Feeling that her idol had fallen from grace, she was so angry that her eyes welled up with tears, which also made Conan so angry that a crossroads appeared on his forehead.

Xiao Lan smiled wryly to herself.

"Alright, Sonoko... I still have a feeling that it wasn't Shinichi."

"What do you mean it isn't? I watched the recording of last night's live stream several times, that was Kudo!"

"Perhaps there's some misunderstanding?"

Xiaolan was also a little unsure of what to say. She could only smile helplessly and say, "Besides, if you're so eager for this, why do you keep supporting Jiashu-ge in catching him?"

"That's because Yoshiki-nii is more handsome!"

Sonoko spoke with conviction, then sighed deeply, "Ah, if only Yoshiki-san's face were disguised as Kaito Kid."

"It would be bad if Jia Shu got arrested."

"You're right..."

The two girls fell silent.

Just then, Kogoro Mouri's furious roar came from the stairs outside: "I've already told you, Shinichi Kudo isn't here! Do you reporters even have ears?! How many times do I have to tell you before you understand?"

Then, the door opened.

Kogoro Mouri, who came in from outside, grumbled, "Seriously, these media people are all so idle all day long."

"dad."

"Hmm, I think you should stay home for a while, Ran. All those reporters seem to want to get information about that kid from you." Kogoro Mouri sat down in his seat, looking annoyed. "That kid, he didn't want to be a detective, so he went and became a phantom thief."

"That doesn't necessarily mean it's Shinichi..."

"Yes! That definitely isn't Shinichi-nii."

Conan quickly stepped forward to clear his name.
