Facing the dagger thrust by Michiwaki Masahiko, Kyogoku Makoto simply sidestepped and dodged it perfectly. At the same time, he struck with lightning speed and grabbed Michiwaki Masahiko's wrist.

Next, Makoto Kyogoku has at least dozens of ways to instantly incapacitate Masahiko Michiwaki without harming him.

However, recalling that this guy also contributed to his failure in the "Great Chase of Sonoko", he couldn't help but increase the pressure on his right hand, which was gripping Michiwaki Masahiko's wrist.

then

"Kaka!"

Accompanied by a faint, chilling sound of bones cracking, Michiwaki Masahiko suddenly let out a pig-like scream and knelt on the ground, his face contorted in agony.

Even after more than ten minutes had passed and the police had arrived at the scene, this guy was still kneeling on the ground, unable to get up, clutching his shattered right hand.

With that girl as a witness, and given that Makoto Kyogoku is a local celebrity, Masahiko Michiwaki naturally had nothing to argue or struggle about.

However, for Makoto Kyogoku, dealing with Masahiko Michiwaki was just a minor incident.

The key point is that the old-fashioned tactic of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress can sometimes be surprisingly effective.

Ever since Masahiko Michiwaki was defeated by Makoto Kyogoku in one move, the girl who was rescued has been looking at Makoto with a strange gaze.

At first, Makoto Kyogoku didn't think much of it, but when he realized that the girl he had saved bore a striking resemblance to Sonoko in both figure and appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

"No, no! I like Sonoko because of the enthusiasm and energy she had when she cheered for Mori, not because of her appearance."

Kyogoku Makoto was still a little stubborn, but there's a saying that a woman pursuing a man is as easy as piercing a thin veil.

In addition, Makoto Kyogoku is introverted and shy, and not good at saying no. As a result, the two had already established a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship and started dating in less than 24 hours.

This matter originally had nothing to do with Kitagawa Yu and the others.

However, the next evening, when Kitagawa Yu and his friends were having dessert at the most famous dessert shop in the area, they happened to see Kyogoku Makoto and his companion walking in hand in hand.

Then, the expressions of Kitagawa Yu and Sonoko were truly fascinating.

"My god? Is Kyogoku really that amazing? He got a new girl the day after his breakup? And she's pretty good-looking too?"

Kitagawa Yu was incredibly surprised.

Meanwhile, after regaining her senses, Sonoko simply muttered "scumbag" with a look of disgust, then turned away with a grin and continued chatting and laughing with Anya.

That's right, because Anya is Kitagawa Yu's younger sister, Sonoko pays extra attention to her.

"By the way, Ai, Elaine, are you going to continue your journey?"

"Yes, our next stop is Osaka and Kyoto."

Without much thought, Elena announced their next destination, which they had already agreed upon, especially Kyoto, the most culturally rich and unique place in all of Japan. As a travel enthusiast, she certainly wouldn't miss it.

"Great!"

Sonoko secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She wasn't afraid of Kitagawa Yu rejecting her; in fact, Kitagawa Yu had already subtly hinted at it once.

However, it's rare to meet such a handsome, gentle, and powerful guy. As long as Kitagawa Yu doesn't dislike her, or clearly states that he has a girlfriend, she won't give up easily.

Her biggest worry was that Kitagawa Yu and the others would go straight back to the beautiful country after leaving Izu, and then she wouldn't even be able to see Kitagawa Yu anymore, so how could she catch up with him!

so.

"We must solidify our relationship before Yu leaves!"

Sonoko secretly cheered herself up, then her eyes lit up and she said with a grin, "Osaka really does have a lot of fun places. The castle tower, Shinsaibashi, and Tennoji are all great attractions. Also, the art museum that my family built in Osaka Castle Park is opening the day after tomorrow. Ran and I were planning to visit it after our vacation in Izu!"

As she spoke, Sonoko turned to look at Ran: "Right, Ran?"

"."

Xiaolan was taken aback. Of course, there was no such thing as agreeing to visit an art museum in Osaka together.

However, seeing Sonoko secretly winking at her, she quickly realized what was going on.

Although she found it both funny and frustrating, what could she do in this situation? She couldn't exactly sabotage the garden, could she? Otherwise, the gardener would probably kill her!

"Yes, Sonoko is right."

"You are worthy of being my good sister!"

Sonoko gave Ran a big thumbs up in her heart, then turned around and continued to boast to everyone about how many precious collections her family's art museum would be exhibiting this time, successfully arousing the interest of Elena and Anya.

Well, this isn't really bragging, since Sonoko's family truly has that kind of strength and financial resources.

Since everyone's next stop is Osaka, it's only natural that they'll travel together.

To demonstrate her value, Sonoko even arrogantly patted her chest and promised everyone that when they visited the art museum, they could directly touch any exhibit they liked.

This is clearly a special privilege that ordinary tourists cannot enjoy.

In addition, she also said that she could take everyone to visit the Suzuki family's private collection, including the Jade Emperor, the Red-Faced Mermaid, the Lady of the Sky, the Miracle of the Sea, and so on. Even Ai Haibara was tempted by these priceless gems.

After all, no girl can resist sparkly jewelry!

However, Kitagawa Yu suddenly thought of something else.

"Tsk tsk, it seems like Kaito got his eye on those gems later, didn't he?"

Chapter 76 Anya's Grudge

(Please vote!)

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Headquarters.

Just as Kitagawa Yu and his friends were casually discussing where to go for fun after arriving in Osaka, in the conference room of the Second Investigation Division of the Criminal Investigation Department, a full seventy or eighty police officers were staring angrily at Nakamori Ginzo at the front, gritting their teeth and clenching their fists.

Of course, they were all police officers, and subordinates at that, so they certainly didn't have any complaints about Nakamori Ginzo.

Their excitement and anger were all directed at the projection screen behind Nakamori Ginzo.

Because at this moment, a crime notice letter announcing a theft was being projected onto the screen, and the only person who would dare to send a notice letter to the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters before committing a theft would be Kaito Kid.

"From the lion of dusk to the maiden of dawn, the clock without a second hand reaches the 12th, descends from the bright sky pavilion, and receives the egg of memory."

"—The Magician of the End of the Century: Phantom Thief Kid"

Holding the microphone, Ginzo Nakamori loudly introduced, "The Egg of Memories is a secret treasure of the Tsar, also known as the 'Emperor's Easter Egg.' It was commissioned by the Tsar to be made by the gem master Faberuge. The Egg of Memories that Phantom Thief Kid has his eye on this time is the last 51st Egg of Memories, and also the most precious of all the Eggs of Memories, worth more than 10 billion yen. According to the original plan of the Suzuki Foundation, it will be exhibited at the newly opened Suzuki Museum in Osaka Castle Park on the 23rd of this month. Therefore, we will go to Osaka this time to work with our brothers at the Osaka headquarters on this case."

Next, the experienced Nakamori Ginzo began to interpret the contents of the forecast letter: "First, from the Leo of Twilight to the Maiden of Dawn. The last day of Leo, which is from dusk on August 22nd to dawn the next day, means that there is no second hand on the clock on the date of the crime."

All the police officers present were listening intently to Nakamori Ginzo's analysis and interpretation. After all, the fact that the Phantom Thief Kid had repeatedly escaped their pursuit was a disgrace to their Second Investigation Division.

Not only Nakamori Ginzo, but everyone in the Second Investigation Division wanted to bring the Phantom Thief Kid to justice as soon as possible.

However, from God's perspective, this is almost impossible.

"Oh no, this looks like another troublesome case."

In the back row of the conference room, Kogoro Mouri, who had been invited to the meeting by the Suzuki Foundation, listened for a while with his arms crossed, despite his hangover headache and drowsiness. Then he felt a headache coming on.

If he could, he really didn't want to get involved in this case. After all, if he could just finish the Kitagawa Yu case, he could take a whole year off without having to work.

Unfortunately, it was the Suzuki Group that specifically requested him, and given their incredibly generous offer, he simply couldn't refuse.

So when Kitagawa Yu and the others arrived in Osaka by Shinkansen and then followed Sonoko to check into her family's luxury hotel, they bumped into Kogoro Mouri, who had dark circles under his eyes and was yawning incessantly, along with Conan, the elementary school student who was like a death god, beside him.

"Huh? Dad and Conan? What are you doing in Osaka? And Dad, what's wrong with you?" Ran was startled by Kogoro Mouri's appearance and quickly went up to him to ask with concern.

"Isn't this all because you, Sister Xiaolan, abandoned us and went out to have fun by yourself?"

Before Kogoro could even speak, Conan, with his deadpan eyes, blurted out, "My uncle takes me out to restaurants every day, and once we get there, I can't help but have a couple of drinks. And once I start, I can't stop. I get completely drunk every night, and look what happened!"

Kind-hearted Xiaolan immediately showed an embarrassed expression.

Although the main reason was to support Sonoko, to be honest, she herself was having too much fun and didn't want to go back, after all, she was only seventeen years old.

At this age, if given the choice, which girl would willingly take on all the housework every day?

"You have time to drink and time to take on other jobs. Looks like my previous job is going very well?"

Kitagawa Yu, who was a little annoyed, asked with a smile, which immediately shut Conan up.

On the other side, Kogoro Mouri, who was also about to complain, quickly scratched the back of his head, chuckled dryly, and skipped over the topic, explaining why they had come to Osaka.

then

"Wow! Is Lord Kid coming to steal our Memory Egg? Does that mean I can see Lord Kid as long as I keep the Memory Egg with me?"

Sonoko, unsurprisingly, jumped up excitedly upon hearing that Kaito Kid was coming.

However, she immediately realized something was wrong. She glanced around and found that Ai, Elena, and Ran were all looking at her strangely. She quickly and awkwardly sat back down.

"Um... I... Lord Kid, no, I mean Phantom Thief Kid, he's just my idol," Sonoko explained awkwardly, blushing.

As he spoke, he kept glancing at Kitagawa Yu out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that Kitagawa Yu did not show any displeasure, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's hard to say whether an idol or a boyfriend is more important, but for her right now, she still wants a boyfriend as handsome and gentle as Kitagawa Yu.

This scene, witnessed by Conan standing nearby, immediately amazed him.

"Could Sonoko be interested in Kitagawa Yu? Tsk tsk. She has no taste~" Conan couldn't help but secretly complain.

Of course, he certainly wouldn't dare say these things to Kitagawa Yu's face.

But it doesn't matter, he wouldn't dare say there's Anya too.

Anya, who was sitting between Elena and Kitagawa Yu licking an ice cream cone, overheard his thoughts and immediately stood up straight.

"Huh? What's with this intense sense of crisis?"

Whether it was due to the keen intuition of a famous detective or not, Conan sensed something as soon as Anya gave him a malicious look. He felt a chill on the back of his neck and goosebumps all over his body.

With a quick glance, Conan immediately noticed Anya, who was giving him a 'sinister and evil' smile, and a sense of foreboding washed over him.

"What is she trying to do?! That smile is so creepy!"

Seeing that Anya seemed about to say something, Conan didn't have time to think carefully and quickly asked loudly:

"Brother Kitagawa! What do you think about the notice? Brother Kitagawa is so smart, he must be able to decipher the code in the letter, right?"

".?"
