Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

"I'm here to cooperate with you."

"cooperate?"

Conan frowned and said coldly: "There is no point in cooperating with a criminal like you."

But Conan's disheveled appearance wrapped in the quilt made him look a little funny.

"Kudo Shinichi, you must have gotten into quite a bit of trouble, right? That's why you're like this now!"

Kuroba Kaito didn't want to waste time talking to Conan, he had to get back to Ekoda before dawn!

Conan's eyes fixed on him and he asked, "What do you know?"

Kuroba Kaito answered the question irrelevantly: "I can help you solve that problem. In return, you need to help me investigate something."

"what's up?"

"Tell me about the trouble you're having first."

The two of them were at loggerheads, neither giving in.

Conan suddenly laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

"Kid, have you been targeted recently?"

Kuroba Kaito blurted out: "How did you know!?"

Then he reacted and had the answer in his mind.

Apart from the "brewery", only he, his mother, and Kitagawa Taki knew about this.

"It doesn't matter how I know it, what matters is that I know where those people came from."

Now it's Conan's turn to be mysterious.

Kuroba Kaito didn't say anything, his mind was racing at this moment.

The only way Conan knew about him and the origins of those people was from Kitagawa Taki.

But why did Kitagawa Taki tell Conan?

Could it be that... Kudo Shinichi became smaller because of that "brewery"?

Kuroba Kaito asked tentatively: "Then tell me about the origins of those guys!"

He wanted to see how much Conan knew.

"First, tell me what you want me to investigate." Conan did not give in.

"Okay." Kuroba Kaito shrugged and told the story of Haneda Hiroshi, without mentioning the "brewery" and rum.

Conan frowned. He couldn't understand why Kidd wanted to investigate such an old matter.

"It's your turn." Kuroba Kaito looked at Conan.

Conan said slowly: "Those guys are from a mysterious black organization."

"and then?"

Seeing that Conan was silent, Kuroba Kaito said: "Those guys are codenamed 'Gin' and 'Vodka', and they both come from the 'Distillery'!"

"what?"

Conan was surprised to hear these two familiar code names.

He originally wanted to use this incident to control Kidd, but he didn't expect that Kidd knew more than he did.

"You were made smaller by them, right?" Kuroba Kaito asked with interest.

Conan remained silent and pondered, "Is Haneda Hiroshi's case related to that organization?"

Kuroba Kaito got the answer he wanted, and he made the right trip this time.

"It's related to the organization's second-in-command, a guy codenamed 'Rum'."

Rum! Second in command!

This is the only information Conan has learned about the leader of the Black Organization in such a long time.

"Where did you get this information?"

Conan seriously suspects that Kid learned this from Kitagawa Taki and Haibara Ai.

"This is not important." Kuroba Kaito replied.

"Cooperation, Detective?"

"Don't you think you should show your true colors first?"

"That won't do. Just tell me whether you will cooperate or not."

Kuroba Kaito simply refused. He was not afraid that Conan would disagree because he had something in his hand that was used against Conan, but Conan didn't.

Conan nodded silently.

Kuroba Kaito laughed and said, "That's it, Detective. I'll come see you after a while!"

After saying that, he opened his hang glider and flew away.

"Hey! Kidd!!"

Conan yelled and tried to chase after him, but he tripped over the quilt and fell to the ground.

"Asshole! Kidd, I%$$..."

Conan couldn't help but spit out some trash talk. How was he supposed to get home in this state?

"Damn it!!!"

At this moment, Conan, who was still cursing, saw Kidd flying back on a hang glider.

Kuroba Kaito landed in front of Conan and said with a smile: "Sorry, I forgot about you."

He conveniently tucked Conan under his arm and flew towards Fujimine's house.

"Hey, Kidd, do you know anything about that rum?"

Conan stopped swearing because he was afraid that Kid would throw him away.

Kuroba Kaito said as a matter of course: "I don't know, so I want you to investigate!"

Conan choked and asked again: "How did you get involved with the Black Organization?"

Kuroba Kaito gritted his teeth and said, "I want to know too!"

Then he asked, “What about you?”

Conan's mouth twitched. He didn't want to mention this at all.

Could he say that he was just curious and saw something he shouldn't have seen?

"What? You don't know either? Or you can't tell me?" Heiyu Kuaidou raised the corner of his mouth.

Conan remained silent.

"Forget it, we're here!"

Kuroba Kaito threw Conan in through the window. Since he was wrapped in a blanket, he wouldn't get hurt.

"This bastard!"

Conan punched the quilt, then got up and closed the window.

"Ah sneeze!"

He rubbed his nose, took out a new quilt, and shrank back into bed.

This time he gained a lot, not only obtaining key intelligence, but also gaining an additional helper.

Although he felt a little hesitant about working with Kidd.

But he could only comfort himself that Kidd was just a thief who only did some petty thefts and finally paid them back, unlike those vicious criminals.

……

Unlike Conan who is a little depressed, Kuroba Kaito is in a good mood now.

This time he hit the jackpot and even took a leading role in the collaboration with Kudo Shinichi.

Apparently he forgot that this dominant position was due to the intelligence provided by Kitagawa Taki.

Two hours later.

Kuroba Kaito returned home and skillfully climbed in through the window.

As soon as I landed, the lights in the house came on.

Kuroba Kaito froze.

He saw Hei Yu Qianying sitting on a chair, staring at him.

"Kaito, where have you been?"

Kuroba Chikage looked at the Phantom Thief suit on Kuroba Kaito. She had been waiting here for several hours.

Kuroba Kaito smiled awkwardly and explained, "Mom, I...I went out for something."

Hei Yu Qianying asked: "Have you set your sights on some new gemstone?"

Kuroba Kaito breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No, I just want to go out for a walk."

Seeing that Kuroba Kaito denied it, Kuroba Chikage became more convinced of his guess.

"Kaito, things are different now. Those guys used sniper rifles last time. What about next time?"

Kuroba Kaito curled his lips and said, "Mom, I'm not a child anymore. I've already escaped danger before. Besides, it's so late at night, how could I have been discovered by those guys?"

"You were lucky last time, can you be lucky every time? Anyway, don't let me see you go out wearing this outfit again, or I'll get rid of you completely!"

As he spoke, Hei Yu Qianying also became angry.

If the investigation of that crappy gem cost Kuroba Kaito his life, then it would be better to just throw all these things away.

Kuroba Kaito didn't retort, but he made up his mind to let Kuroba Chikage see his efforts and achievements.
