Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 280 274. Kuroba Kaito's Horror

For Kaito Kuroba, a student at Ekoda High School, today was just an ordinary day.

He went to school and came home from school as usual. The only difference was that he got "news" from his father last night.

Although he has a face exactly like Kudo Shinichi, Kuroba Kaito's family situation is completely different from that of the Kudo family.

Kudo Shinichi has both parents. Although his parents are not very reliable, at least they did not disappear out of thin air.

Kuroba Kaito is different.

The father of the world-renowned magician disappeared for no apparent reason eight years ago, and many people said that his father was dead.

But Kuroba Kaito didn't believe it - as the saying goes, if his father is alive, he should be seen alive; if his father is dead, Kuroba Kaito knew very well what his father was capable of.

He didn't believe that his father would die so easily.

Just last night, Kuroba Kaito was surprised to hear his father's name from that group of people.

According to the man code-named "Snake", his father had a conflict with their organization when he was stealing the gems.

Then he was brutally killed by that group of people...

But how is this possible?
It’s not that Kuroba Kaito has blind trust in his father, but given the level of those people yesterday, how could they kill his father if they couldn’t even defeat him?

But no matter what, this was the first time that Kuroba Kaito heard his father's name from someone else's mouth in a long time.

He realized that if he wanted to find his father, the clue might lie with that group of people.

It couldn't be said that Kuroba Kaito was absent-minded throughout the whole day, but his mind was not on school at all.

So much so that he ignored many "details", such as the two police cars parked at the school gate and the concerned looks from some teachers and classmates.

This is no wonder. After all, he is just a phantom thief, not a phantom thief detective. The two professions are essentially very different in life.

When school was over, Kuroba Kaito couldn't wait to go home and make a battle plan.

As a Phantom Thief, of course he has to fight without preparation. He can't face all kinds of emergencies all day long like those detectives, right?

That's really not elegant at all.

Just as he was about to run out of the classroom, he was suddenly stopped by his childhood sweetheart - yes, as Kaito Kid, he was the same as a certain high school detective.

Everyone has his or her own childhood sweetheart.

Even the childhood sweethearts of these two people look similar.

"Kaito, you haven't gotten into any trouble recently, have you?" Nakamori Aoko is the childhood sweetheart of Kuroba Kaito.

She is also the only daughter of Inspector Nakamori, who is often teased by Kaito Kid.

You think about it, think about it carefully. This Kaito Kidd is really not a joke.

Even the yellow-haired guy who stopped the will-o'-the-wisp fire was not as arrogant as this grandson.

"Trouble? What kind of trouble can I cause?

Why did Qingzi suddenly ask this? "

Kuroba Kaito had a look of confusion on his face, and he was truly confused without any pretense.

What trouble could he cause? Kaito Kid's identity was concealed very well by him. No one in the school suspected him except the weird Koizumi Hongzi and the annoying Hakuba Tan.

Even if these two people suspect him, they have no evidence, and if he doesn't confess, he is not Kaito Kid.

As for his home... he lives alone, and his neighbor next door is Inspector Nakamori, who is taught a lesson by him and teased by him.

He will not be exposed anymore.

As for Kuroba Kaito's identity, what trouble could he, a proper high school student, get into other than occasionally looking under girls' skirts and hiding in the school's girls' locker room?

So he was genuinely puzzled by what his childhood sweetheart said.

"Don't you know? Two police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department came to the school today to inquire about you!" Nakamori Aoko is not some little girl who is ignorant of the world. She is the daughter of a police captain.

Having been exposed to the police since childhood, I have already memorized the police's case handling procedures.

The police would not randomly ask about a high school student for no reason.

This kind of thing could happen, which means that either Kuroba Kaito is an important person related to a case, or...

All in all, it’s not a good thing.

"A detective from the Metropolitan Police Department came to the school to inquire about me?" Kuroba Kaito was stunned when he heard this.

This doesn't make sense... Judging from his recent behavior, he could understand if Snake's gang came to his house to inquire about him.

What the hell is the detective coming to your house?

He thought that he didn't have any evidence that the police could use against him.

"Are they still in school now?" Kuroba Kaito asked hurriedly.

"No... they left school before school was over." Nakamori Aoko answered in confusion.

This was what she didn't understand the most. Normally, since the Metropolitan Police Department detectives had come to investigate, they should at least meet Kuroba Kaito himself, right?
But the two detectives were never seen. They just left in such a grand manner.

"Kaito, how about I ask dad to help you find out?"

"Well... why don't we wait a little longer? What if this is just a misunderstanding?"

At this moment, Kuroba Kaito didn't dare to let Inspector Nakamori get involved.

What if those two detectives really have something in their hands? According to Kuroba Kaito's mentality, he would rather be known by other detectives than fall into the hands of Inspector Nakamori.

Kuroba Kaito returned home with a puzzled heart. As soon as he got near his home, he stopped.

"What's wrong, Kaito?

"Huh? Who are they?" Nakamori Aoko asked in confusion. Because she noticed two cars parked in front of Kuroba Kaito's house.

A dark blue Toyota Crown and a black Maybach. There was no one outside the car, but the car was still running.

People are in the car.

"I don't know, maybe they just stopped here temporarily?" Kuroba Kaito suddenly had a hunch that these people might be here to find him.

But he didn't want Nakamori Aoko to know.

"What the hell is going on? Who would temporarily park their car in front of someone else's house?!"

Nakamori Aoko subconsciously wanted to step forward to argue, but was stopped by Kuroba Kaito.

"Stop it! You're going to start a quarrel like this!

Go home quickly, I'll talk to them later. Didn't you see their car was still running? It must not have been parked for long."

Kuroba Kaito's words dispelled Nakamori Aoko's idea of going forward. Then he told Kuroba Kaito:

“Okay, I’ll go back first, Kaito, remember to come home for dinner.

And think carefully about what I said, I think it would be better to ask Dad to help find out..."

After saying this, Nakamori Aoko returned to her home. Kuroba Kaito stood there for a while and then walked to the rear window of the Maybach to take a look.

The pitch-black privacy window slowly lowered, revealing a face that Kuroba Kaito was extremely familiar with and still remembered clearly.

[Lin Longma?! Why is he here?!]

It’s no wonder that Kuroba Kaito was so scared. He had just invaded someone’s company two days ago and was found not long after that.

Anyone who has experienced this kind of fear of having the box opened knows it.
