Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

"Oh, those two detectives down there have really interesting expressions."

Kaito Kuroba stared at Heiji Hattori and Conan with a smile.

If Qi Ming hadn't appeared today, or if the plan was simply to complete a commission, he wouldn't have minded playing around with these two detectives.

But now, the grand entrance is over, all that's needed is to successfully obtain the Egg of Memories and then make a grand exit.

"Oh, Lord Kid!"

"Phantom Thief Kid! Phantom Thief Kid!"

The area beneath Tsutenkaku Tower was teeming with people, and Sonoko Suzuki was among those shouting "Kaito Kid!"

"Kudo, something's fishy."

Heiji Hattori frowned and said to Conan:

"I've only just realized that they knew Kaito Kid had a hang glider, so why didn't they arrange for a helicopter?"

"..."

When Heiji Hattori mentioned this blind spot, Conan also felt that something was off.

Seeing that Kaito Kid was about to jump off Tsutenkaku Tower and activate his hang glider, Hattori Heiji waved to Conan.

"Forget about that now, let's get on the motorcycle and follow him!"

"it is good!"

Amid cheers from the crowd, Kaito Kuroba jumped off the roof, his hang glider unfolding as he did so.

"The straight-line distance is no more than a kilometer, and the location where the Egg of Memories is placed is right in that hotel."

Kaito Kuroba smiled and calmly flew through the air, gripping the joystick.

However, this composure only lasted for a few seconds before Kaito Kuroba suddenly felt something was off.

He felt as if his hang glider was somewhat out of control.

"What happened?"

Kaito Kuroba looked blankly at the winged body, only to see that there were several holes on the white wings!

What the hell? My hang glider got chewed up by rats in the short time I left it in the toilet?

Kaito Kuroba rubbed his eyes; there was yet another hole on the wing.

No, this looks like a bullet hole?!

"Damn it, I can't control it!"

Kaito Kuroba's face turned deathly pale as the hang glider carried him swaying and crashing towards the ground.

"What's wrong? What happened?!"

"Kaito Kid's plane has crashed!"

The onlookers gasped as they watched in horror as Phantom Thief Kid smashed through a glass window and crashed into a hospital.

……

The hospital has 16 floors.

"Cough cough!"

Kaito Kuroba removed the shards of glass from his body and gave an awkward smile as he looked at the bewildered nurse holding the IV drip in front of him.

"Good evening, beautiful lady. Could you please help me remove the glass cut on my body?"

The nurse froze for two seconds, then dropped the IV drip she was holding onto the ground.

"Eeeah! Lord Kid, Lord Kid, have you come to relieve me from my work? Eeeah!"

Kaito Kuroba's lips twitched as he looked at the shards of glass on the ground.

Where is the patient?

The patient needs to be brought out quickly and given some help!

"Kaitou Kidd?!"

"Kaito Kid is here! My idol, can I get his autograph?"

The nurse's scream seemed to trigger a chain reaction, drawing doctors at the counter and patients in the ward to gather around.

Kaito Kuroba had no choice but to throw a smoke bomb on the ground and run away.

After running all the way to the hospital rooftop, Kaito Kuroba glanced at his tattered cloak and sighed deeply.

I don’t understand, I really don’t understand.

What happened? Why would someone target him?

Could it be someone from that organization?

No, the organization's higher-ups are on my side, and besides, he didn't steal any gems this time, so they have no reason to attack me!

Just as Kaito Kuroba was wondering what to do, a voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

"What's wrong, Xiao Hei? Are you alright?"

"who!"

Kaito Kuroba quickly pulled out his card gun and looked back, but just as the muzzle was about to be pointed at the person in front of him, his expression changed and he immediately hid his hands behind his back.

The person who arrived was Qi Ming.

Kaito Kuroba chuckled awkwardly.

"No, you're not injured. Why are you here?"

"It's good that it's not hurt."

Qi Ming breathed a sigh of relief, then stared at Kuroba Kaito with a strange expression.

Kaito Kuroba felt a little uncomfortable and quickly asked.

"Brother, could you please stop staring at me like that? It's making me a little creeped out."

Qi Ming shook his head and said seriously:

"It's nothing, but Little Black, it seems like you're in for some bloodshed."

"!!"

Kaito Kuroba's pupils contracted.

A bloody disaster?!

Sure enough, even someone as skilled as Koizumi Akako could foresee that he was facing a bloody disaster, so there was no way this spirit couldn't foresee it!

Kaito Kuroba quickly said.

"That's right, bro, someone's sniping at me from down there!"

Qi Ming nodded.

“I know, I’ve found that person. He’s an international fugitive, Scrooge, and he’s after you!”

An internationally wanted criminal? Shi Kaobing?

Although he had never heard of this Scrooge, Kaito Kuroba could guess the reason why Scrooge was targeting him.

It's probably related to the Memory Egg that I'm going to steal.

"Brother, you'll help me, right? You don't want your future organization members to be killed like this, do you?"

Qi Ming patted his chest and said.

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you get rid of this wanted criminal."

Kaito Kuroba was overjoyed.

Sure enough, only this person in front of me could avert my bloodshed!

Qi Ming glanced at Kuroba Kaito's equipment and then at the tattered cloak behind him.

"So, is your plan still going to continue?"

Kaito Kuroba nodded, then shook his head, and said with a wry smile:

"Of course... but my hang glider is destroyed, so I guess I'll have to find another way."

Qi Ming stroked his chin and then handed a large, metallic-looking box to Kaito Kuroba.

"It's okay, I have some. You can use mine."

Is this magic?

Kaito Kuroba accepted the large box from Qi Ming with some surprise. Then, his hand suddenly sank, almost causing the backpack to slip from his grasp and fall to the ground.

Good weight!

It's confirmed, this can't be magic. Anyone who uses magic to conjure something this heavy is simply a fool!

Kaito Kuroba examined the large box in his hand with a strange expression.

He felt like he'd seen this thing in some science fiction movie.

A jet-powered individual flying vehicle?!

It’s interesting!

"Alright, go ahead and don't worry. I'll take care of that Scorpion for you."

"Okay, bro, thank you for your help!"

Kaito Kuroba looked up and responded to Qi Ming, but Qi Ming had already disappeared from the scene.

This spirit, who cultivates both Taoism and technology, is destined for heaven!

Lost in thought, Kaito Kuroba slung the flying vehicle over his shoulder.

He can fly a plane, so he can easily handle this aircraft.

……

Conan and Heiji Hattori had already arrived downstairs at the hospital.

They glanced at the broken glass on the floor and rushed through the door.

The two boarded the elevator, and Heiji Hattori frowned as he asked Conan a question.

"Kudo, what do you think of Kaito Kid's fall just now?"

Conan shook his head.

"I don't know, but something just feels off. There's no wind outside, so it's possible that his hang glider malfunctioned."

When the two arrived at the 16th floor, they could only see doctors and nurses surrounding the broken glass; the Phantom Thief Kid was nowhere to be seen.

Although the two of them didn't expect Kaito Kid to just be waiting there.

"Come quick, everyone! Phantom Thief Kid has flown away again!"

A nurse suddenly came out of the ward and waved to everyone. Conan and Heiji Hattori exchanged a glance and immediately went into the ward to look out the window.

"Flying, a flying machine? When did Phantom Thief Kid become so trendy?"

Seeing the Phantom Thief Kid flying in the air, Conan was somewhat astonished.

So that's how it is. The plane crash was actually part of his performance!?

As everyone was marveling at the sight, the next second they saw flames suddenly erupt from the flying machine that Phantom Thief Kid was carrying!

Then, amidst the bewildered gazes of the crowd, Phantom Thief Kid once again teetered precariously in mid-air.

Heiji Hattori's expression was somewhat strained.

"Is Kaito Kid about to crash again? Is this also part of his performance?"

"...I don't know?"
