The waistcoat jumps sideways, please Ke Xue stay away from me!

The following days continued to jump, and Qingzhu Youyang tried to find out what major events had happened that day.

Finally I found out in the newspaper that there is news about Kudo Shinichi every day... I solved all the problems.

What a coincidence, the organization is also busy during this period.

A bunch of trivial matters... When can you recruit more people? Why do you need me, Langster, to take care of even the smallest matters? Am I really free?

Qingzhu Youyang was a little indignant, but then again, he was the most idle among the code members. So he threw the small things to him and took a look at his recent performance...

Anyway, it's a rare opportunity to be released now. After much thought, Qingzhu Youyang decided to find Kudo Shinichi and go to the scene to brush up on the origin progress.

Every little bit counts, and sooner or later you can add up all of them.

As for where to find it...an extremely arrogant picture was prominently displayed in yesterday's newspaper: Kaito Kidd is about to steal the Clock of the Century.

Great, so Kudo Arata is 100% present today.

Let’s go...I don’t know if this thief is a passerby or an important person.

After planning some routes, Qingzhu Youyang, who was already changing clothes and preparing to set off, thought of something. If Kaito Kidd…whose real name is Kuroba Kaito is also an important person, what identity should he use to contact him?

The subconscious mind told this vest monster that it was time to open a new account...

But unlocking new forms requires the origin. The original purpose of looking for them was to obtain more origin...

Emm, how about using the original appearance? And wearing a decorative mask? After all, a human skin mask is a bit unrefined. For a thief who is good at disguise, a mask with ball makeup is probably harder to distinguish than a human skin mask.

At this time, Qingzhu Youyang had already squatted down and accurately found an exaggeratedly gorgeous dark blue mask in the messy cabinet.

He tried it on his face and found it could cover about 3/4 of his face, with only the lower left side and eyes exposed.

Hmm... the effect is good. He commented, but it would have been better if he had considered the practicality of this gorgeous little piece of junk when he bought it earlier. It's a bit boring now.

After all, there was no better mask. Qingzhu Youyang gently passed his right hand with the silver ring in front of his eyes. After covering his face with his hand, when he took it away, the mask and the silver ring had disappeared.

But Qingzhu Youyang felt something was not right.

"......?" He scratched his face in front of the mirror. His face was a little itchy. I was actually allergic to this mask after wearing it... Damn it, it was just itchy, and there was no swelling. It must be because I had kept it in there since I bought it and never took it out once.

After clearly showing disgust on his face, Qingzhu Youyang temporarily activated plan B and quickly arrived at the scene... Too much time was wasted on this mask.

Now there is an urgent need for visible growth from the Source to comfort this wounded heart.

……

After a long time, Qingzhu Youyang, who was hiding in the area surrounded by the cordon, finally saw a burst of smoke coming out from the dial of the tower. It was probably done by the Kaito Kidd hiding inside.

“Huh…?! Stole the hands of the clock? That’s impossible…” After the smoke dissipated, Qingzhu Youyang felt very surprised. This Kaito Kid, who was a magical high school student under the skin, made the hands disappear so easily.

He is indeed quite capable. Qingzhu Youyang thought excitedly, the origin just moved, it moved!

In addition to being excited, he wondered with interest how this little thief did it.

The notice said that they were going to steal the hands of a clock... Subjectively speaking, it was because there were precious gems on it, but the purpose is debatable.

Now the things above are really gone, or they were stolen in an instant... It's not impossible.

At least Qingzhu Youyang could do it if he was on top.

The specific operation is to use the previous mask as material support, which is to bring it close to the silver ring and then put it into it.

I don’t know what the principle is, but a small ring can hold a mask the size of a human head... But there are things like magic in this world, and there is also the origin, so it’s not surprising that the ring can hold things.

Although it is an initial function that was discovered recently, and it is rare that it does not consume the origin.

Either the other party used the same method, or something similar. But if it was not a supernatural phenomenon but a magician's usual "deception" or "obstacle", then it was probably covered by something?

Qingzhu Youyang carefully looked at the clock above through the chaotic crowd. This level of detail... should have been a 1:1 replica or something like reflection. After all, he was not an expert in magic.

Well, these are more or less the truth. Next, let’s do a close-up experiment on the effect of short distances on the growth of the origin.

Qingzhu Youyang stood up, shook off the leaves he had brought from the grass, stretched his body, and then transformed into a golden kitten and sneaked into the clock tower.

If you want to see a super difficult infiltration, you'd better wait until next time.

Just before Qingzhu Youyang Xiaomao entered the tower, a helicopter came buzzing in the sky, and the origin fluctuated without even needing to be seen.

It looks like Kudo Shinichi has arrived... It may also be because I have become more familiar with the silver ring recently, or because the connection has become stronger because of the items put in it, and now I can feel it whenever something inside moves.

Because even though the origin moved but didn't rise, it might have just risen a little bit. This kind of strange fluctuation can be used to identify whether Kudo Shinichi is nearby.

Qingzhu Youyang went all the way up and finally saw the back of the white thief.

Then the other party went out through the small hole in the clock, which was very elegant.

In order to prevent the golden kitten from appearing outside and making things more awkward, Qingzhu Youyang stayed in the room where a bunch of people were knocked unconscious and eavesdropped on the conversations outside.

"Hey, Kaito Kidd is... Hey!" The voice of the middle-aged man outside was interrupted. Judging from the way he spoke, it could be inferred that the other party had knocked away his communication device while he was on the phone.

"Unlock the code." Another voice sounded, it should be Kaito Kidd's.

Hmm... I definitely didn't tell that uncle because I thought he wasn't very smart. So it seems he took the phone? Did he tell Kudo Shinichi on the other end?

Just when Qingzhu Youyang was about to turn back into human form because he couldn't touch his chin to think in kitten form, Kaito Kidd appeared in the house.

Then he quickly dragged an unconscious policeman off the ground, stripped him of his clothes and changed them.

Begin retreating from the pipeline.

But Kudo Shinichi was obviously not an idiot. He knocked around outside twice and heard something on the metal, probably something covering it. Then he issued an order to search every member of his own team who was wearing a police uniform.

Qingzhu Youyang followed Kaito Kid all the way, even when he was almost discovered on the road. He probably also adopted Plan B and took off from the next building to escape.

I followed him all the way to the rooftop of the building opposite.

Just when Kaito Kidd had changed his clothes in seconds and was about to put on the glider and leave, Qingzhu Youyang, who had regained his human form, suddenly said from behind:

"It seems that sometimes, sending too many people makes it difficult to catch someone."

Nice to meet you, Kaito Kidd.

…? It seems that I said the opposite of what I wanted to say when we first met. Actually, I just remembered that the organization sent too many people and the mission was completed more slowly… I accidentally said it out loud.

Kaito Kidd, who was about to run away, suddenly turned around, still maintaining his calm expression even when facing a huge crisis.

This guy…when did he arrive? Why is there no movement at all? If he hadn’t just spoken, I wouldn’t have known there was someone behind him.

Kaito Kid tries hard to keep a poker face, but he is not as calm as he appears.

"Who are you?" A man wearing a gorgeous dark blue mask... Are you from the police? Are you here to arrest me? But this outfit... is hard to judge.

"Me?" Qingzhu Youyang thought for a moment. "Before asking others, a gentleman should introduce himself first."

"Kaitou Kidd."

"The hour hand was just stolen. Was it magic?"

"No...it's magic."

Qingzhu Youyang shrugged, and then said: "Since this is our first meeting, just call me magician."

"Magician?" Although his expression didn't change, the tone of voice clearly showed that he meant that.

"Same here, just nicknames." Although unlike the high school student opposite him, he had already found out that the other person's name was Kuroba Kaito.

"So, you came to see me this time specifically because you want to watch another off-site magic show?" Kaito Kidd has already taken out something from his white suit and hidden it in his hand.

"Okay, just consider me your fan." Qingzhu took two steps forward. This time, Kaito Kidd didn't seem to want to leave anymore.

Kaito Kidd's hand flashed quickly, at this speed... even Gin would not be able to react in time, unless he subconsciously used a killing move.

"Is the performance over?" Qingzhu Youyang asked.

The opponent took a classic step back and then opened his hands - a large diamond next to the mask appeared in his hands.

“…It’s really wonderful.” It was mainly an affirmation of the other party’s decision. If the choice was to take off his mask…well, if he was not here, the life of Kaito Kidd would have to be left behind.

"Thank you for the only audience watching the performance now. Well, the show is over." Kaito Kidd threw another smoke bomb made by someone unknown. When the smoke dissipated, the gem had returned to Qingzhu Youyang's mask, and the little white dot in the sky was getting farther and farther away.

This retreat technique is quite unique, we can learn from it...

But Qingzhu Youyang didn't just want to be fooled by the other party.

At this moment, Kaito Kidd finally felt the weight on his chest was not right because of the wind while flying: ??? Where did this business card come from?

The black star piece is difficult to distinguish in the night sky, but it is particularly obvious in the hands of Kaito Kidd, who is dressed in white.

On top was a company called Langster, with some strange patterns marked underneath.

In the distance, on the rooftop where the two of them had just been, Qingzhu Youyang spread out the remaining business cards and then closed them:

"The magician...returns the favor to Mr. Kaito."

I brought so many gadgets with me, but in the end the other party only took gems.

Then I guess...he will also be eyeing the one and only one in the world in the company.

Qingzhu Youyang jumped down from the back of the building in a good mood. He came into close contact with the origin and it was fluctuating again, unlocking a new key contact target.

Then he returned to the house happily humming a tune.
