Keep busy in the world of Detective Conan

The morning sun streamed through the curtains into the Hua residence, illuminating every corner of the living room. Hua Lantian sat somewhat uncomfortably on the sofa, his eyes occasionally falling on Suzuki Ayako, who also appeared somewhat reserved across from him.

"Um, Ayako... do you have something particularly important to tell me today? To be honest, I just got up not long ago, haha..." Hua Lantian scratched the back of his head and showed a simple smile on his face.

Suzuki Ayako lowered her head slightly and replied softly, "It's okay, Lantian-kun. Actually, I came here this time to tell you two things. The first thing is this... Please take a look."

As she spoke, she carefully took out a neatly folded piece of paper from her clothes and gently handed it to Hua Lantian.

"What is this?" Hua Lantian took the paper curiously and quickly unfolded it. What came into view was an A4 paper with only a small black square in the middle, some printed text and a blank space.

Hua Lantian took a closer look and found that this should be a photocopy. The original was the card-sized thing in the middle. It looked like the original had been torn, but the content on it did not attract Hua Lantian. However, the logo made Hua Lantian know who made it.

It was a Q-version avatar wearing a top hat and a monocle, and under the monocle hung a black triangular pendant.

Hua Lantian knew that if Kaito Kidd took action, their peaceful days would be shattered. However, he couldn't help but feel a tinge of anticipation. After all, with Kaito Kidd joining him, life would become more interesting. Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"So, it is this Kaito Kidd who has set his eyes on the Suzuki family's things, Ayako...!" Hua Lantian put away his smile and asked seriously.

Ayako nodded slightly, a hint of worry and nervousness flashing in her eyes. She gripped the phone tightly and replied with a slightly trembling voice:

"Yes, Lantian-kun, Kaito Kid has sent a letter of warning, saying that he wants to take our family heirloom, which can bring the dark star of luck...! So, um, I heard from Sonoko that you have great abilities, so I would like to invite you to help protect our family heirloom...!"

Hua Lantian chuckled inwardly, thinking, "Sure enough, I knew it would be like this." But on the surface, he feigned surprise and asked, "Oh? So that's how it is. What are you going to do then?"

(After all, there are not many people in this world who are as carefree as Yuanzi. She is so carefree that when her family heirloom is taken away by someone else, she is particularly happy and looks forward to the other party coming to take it away, and even hopes that the other party can take her away as well.

As for Suzuki Shiro and Suzuki Tomoko, they completely ignored Kaito Kid. In their view, with the Suzuki family's immense power and influence, there was no way Kaito Kid would actually dare to steal something and not return it...!)

"Well, our father and his team have invited the famous detective Kogoro Mori to help us. And then there's Inspector Nakamori from the Investigation Section 2, who specializes in catching Kaito Kid, and they're in charge of the on-site security. Lan Tian-kun, you're the helper I invited, so just follow me...!"

Suzuki Ayako said a little embarrassedly.

After all, although Hua Lantian might not be able to contribute much effort and she didn't lack anything, she still invited him to help. Besides, both of them had a good impression of each other, so there was nothing wrong with them helping each other.

She had originally wanted to spend more time with Hua Lantian, so she had thought of this. It was also her initiative, after all, Hua Lantian had taken the initiative many times before. If they confessed earlier, they could get married earlier, earlier...

Even though she had learned many rules of being a noble lady, she still couldn't resist the feeling of being in love. The more she thought about it, the more shy she became. Her face turned pink and she quickly covered her face.

Seeing Suzuki Ayako's sudden series of actions, Hua Lantian's eyes turned red. She was really so cute. He immediately decided to find Brother Kidd to build a good relationship with him and thank him for giving him the opportunity to show himself.

But we have to wait until after this incident. After all, this incident is the first time that Conan meets Kaito Kid in a smaller form. The meeting between the two cousins ​​cannot be ruined.

"Don't worry, Ayako. Leave this matter to me. I won't let Kaito Kidd take the Dark Star, even if he returns it...!"

Hua Lantian patted his chest loudly and made a promise. Ayako nodded blankly, as if shocked by the masculinity displayed by his promise.

……

"So, Lantian, this is why you're here...!"

In the Beika Museum, in an exhibition hall where police officers were standing at every entrance and exit and in every corner, Conan was staring at Hua Lantian with a dead fish eye and said.

"Hey, can you please be a little polite? I'm several years older than you after all...! Forget it, I'm in a good mood, so I won't argue with you. But you won't be of any use this time, so don't worry...!"

Hua Lantian rubbed Conan's head rudely, then patted his shoulder and walked away while speaking.

"Tsk, this guy, when did he get so excited? He's so enthusiastic. It's just a relationship, what's the big deal...!"

Conan looked at Hua Lantian with disdain as he walked away, then muttered a few words. Then he was called by his sister Xiaolan, and he ran over like a lackey.

Hua Lantian heard what he said but didn't care. He was planning to give Conan a big surprise later, which was to ambush Kidd together, but he wanted to wait for the opportunity behind.

Soon it was night. Hua Lantian chatted with Suzuki Ayako for a long time, and said goodbye to Ayako with a happy smile. Then he came to the top floor of Beihu Municipal Hotel in advance, took out a piece of black cloth, and found a dark corner to wait.

Sure enough, footsteps were heard after a while, then the footsteps stopped, and then the phone rang. It was Dr. Agasa calling.

As the data collector for Conan's early days, Dr. Agasa can be said to be available at any time, and is on par with the later Ai.

Then, Kaito Kidd landed on the roof of the Haido Hotel with the strong wind from high altitude and started a friendly exchange with Conan.

Just when Conan lit the fireworks, Hua Lantian knew the time had come. He suddenly lifted the black cloth and jumped between the two people.

He said to the still confused Kaito Kidd, "Kaito Kidd, give up this operation immediately...! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude...!"

“Ah, tsk, who are you, big brother…? Don’t underestimate me, an internationally renowned thief…!”

When he heard someone questioning his professionalism, Kaito Kidd was no longer stunned, but quickly came out to defend his own and his father's reputation.

"I'm not questioning your professionalism, but you can't do it this time. Of course, you might not do it in the future, but you definitely can't do it this time...!"

As Hua Lantian was talking, he punched the air a few times, "Bang...!" The air produced several explosions that echoed all around, immediately making Conan and the person involved, Kaito Kid, break out in cold sweats.

At this moment, the two cousins ​​were wondering what kind of monster this was and that they must never mess with him again.

What Conan was thinking about was that he would never be able to play tricks on Lan Tian again. He had been in a good mood before and didn't care about him. But if he was unhappy and he happened to be with him, then he would be doomed.

What Kaito Kidd was thinking about at this time was whether he should give up this action, and he must not see him again in the future, because it was too scary.

"Who are you all? And you, Kaito Kidd, I finally found you. Don't run...!"

There was a burst of rapid footsteps, followed by Nakamori Ginzo, who looked very similar to Maori Kogoro, rushing over with a large group of mobile personnel, shouting at the same time.

"Well then, little detective, and this strange fellow, I'm leaving now...! We'll meet again someday (I bet you'll never meet again)...!"

When Kaito Kidd saw the first assist man, Ginzo Nakamori, running towards him, he smiled slightly, then threw his cloak, and with Ginzo Nakamori's roar, he left with a flash bomb.

Then he was immediately discovered by Hua Lantian and Conan, and he showed off his voice-changing skills in front of everyone, leaving everyone stunned.

However, Hua Lantian knew clearly that Kaito Kidd was only here to show up, not to steal the Dark Star. Therefore, he didn't bother to argue with him too much. After all, a little impatience can ruin a big plan!

On the other side, Kaito Kidd still thought that his disguise and voice-changing skills had shocked Hua Lantian, leaving him unable to do anything to him.

Thinking of this, Kaito Kidd couldn't help but start to feel complacent, and secretly proud in his heart: "Haha, it seems that I am still very powerful. Even that monster was scared of me!" So, the next plan that he had originally planned to give up came back to his mind at this moment.

Not long after, Hua Lantian called the Suzuki residence, "Hey, Ayako, I heard they've already sailed, why are you still home? What, you and your uncle were left at home together? Then who is the uncle who just got on the boat...?!"

"I don't know, Lantian-kun, it looks like our family heirloom is going to be stolen by Kaito Kidd...!"

Suzuki Ayako's voice sounded a little worried from the other end of the phone.

"Don't worry, Ayako. I'm coming to your house now. Please ask your uncle to arrange a helicopter. The three of us will fly over together. Just watch while I go and save Dark Star...!"

Hua Lantian's confident tone made Suzuki Ayako feel calm involuntarily, and she agreed to his arrangement.

Soon, Hua Lantian, Suzuki Ayako, and Suzuki Shiro boarded the Suzuki family's helicopter and headed for the Elizabeth (probably that's what it was called)...

When the sound of helicopter propellers rang out over the Queen Elizabeth cruise ship, following a series of operations by the pilot, Hua Lantian led Suzuki Ayako and Suzuki Shiro to the banquet venue.

It happened that the talented magician Kazuzo Sanada, invited by Suzuki Tomoko, had just finished his performance when Hua Lantian smashed his place. Then Kazuzo Sanada was pulled away by Takuya Mifune, another fan of Hua Lantian and his subordinate.

"Alright, everyone, please watch the mystery show by the young man next to me. Thank you for your attention...!"

Shiro Suzuki quickly took the microphone, made an announcement, and handed the topic to Hua Lantian.

Hua Lantian took over the topic, thanked him, then cleared his throat and said to everyone present:

"Hello everyone, I'm Hua Lantian. Some of you may have heard of me, but I'm not busy with work today. I have something very important to do, which is to help the Suzuki family defend that dark star...!"

After Hua Lantian said this, there was a constant whispering in the audience. Most of them were well-known figures, so of course they knew who this person was, so they started discussing it.

"Ahem, everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I'm going to announce my own theory now. Kaito Kidd is among us right now. As for who it is, it's you, Xiaolan...!"

Hua Lantian cleared his throat, then stated the shocking fact in a very calm tone, and pointed at Xiaolan.

Xiaolan hesitated and wanted to explain, but Hua Lantian rushed up directly, and then there was a flash. When everyone saw it clearly, Kaito Kidd made a brilliant appearance...

Without caring about showing off his skills, Kaito Kid quickly put on the grease and started running away, followed closely by Hua Lantian, and then Conan, who was already red-hot, ran madly.

"Kid, stop running! If you keep running, I'll tell you your secret...!"

Hua Lantian said this threateningly. It wasn't that he couldn't catch up with Kaito Kidd, but he was too lazy to play this little game with him.

"What? Don't talk nonsense. I don't have any secrets...! What if I don't run away and you beat me to death...!"

Kaito Kidd didn't believe what Hua Lantian said. He complained while speeding up.

"Don't worry, I promise. If I don't do it, I'll give you 10 million, how about that...!"

Hua Lantian set a small trap for Kaito Kidd. After all, although Kidd is not short of money, who would complain about having too much money?

Sure enough, Kidd found this deal good, then stopped and looked at Hua Lantian, ready to listen to what he had to say.

"Kid, I'll come to your house tomorrow to find you. I know where it is...! And don't steal again this time, or I'll really feed you to the fish...!"

Hua Lantian quickly said something in Kaito Kid's ear, then slipped away, leaving behind Kaito Kid, whose face was already filled with horror, and Conan, who had caught up and wanted to ask Xiaolan what was wrong.

The next day, in a small detached Western-style building in Jianggutian, "Ding Dong Ding Dong...!" "Here they are, may I ask who it is...?" Kuroba Kaito's voice came from inside.

"It's me, Hua Lantian, Kaito Kidd. No, I should call you Kuroba Kaito...!" Hua Lantian was deliberately making trouble. Kuroba Kaito inside didn't expect that the end of the world would come so soon, and he was already sweating all over.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to arrest you, but to take you in as my younger brother, just like your cousin. Let's work together..."

"Crack...! Cousin...?!"
