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

After a while, Ai Haibara sighed deeply when she saw that everyone had turned their gaze away from her.

Talking to this person will shorten your lifespan.

"Something's probably going to happen, but who knows what it might be."

Qi Ming stopped teasing Ai Haibara and said somewhat uncertainly.

Didn't you do a post-mortem analysis?

"I don't want to watch. I'm going to lie down comfortably all day today."

Qi Ming looked at the scenery outside the window and shook his head.

He doesn't care if people die today; he just wants to sit comfortably in his spaceship.

Men always have those days when they don't want to do anything and just want to lie down comfortably.

"..."

Good reason.

Seeing Qi Ming staring at the scenery outside the window, Ai Haibara followed his gaze, but she couldn't see anything except for the thick clouds.

Is there anything up in the clouds?

Upon hearing this, Qi Ming replied with a serious expression.

"There are UFOs and dragons."

"Oh...huh?"

Ai Haibara nodded, and it was only at this moment that her nerves received what she had just said.

UFO? Dragon? What the hell is that?

No, it seems possible in today's world.

Qi Ming turned around and saw Ai Haibara staring out the window in shock. He couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

Just kidding, there's nothing there.

"..."

Got cheated again.

Haibara glared at Qi Ming reproachfully.

"Please don't joke around in such a serious tone."

Qi Ming stretched and replied jokingly.

"But you seemed to really believe it just now, didn't you?"

Before Ai Haibara could speak, Qi Ming stared at the clouds and said in an unusually serious tone.

“When I used to fly, I liked to sit by the window and stare at the sea of ​​clouds, hoping to see something strange.”

"Whether it's a dragon or a UFO, I really want to see those things that exist in fantasy and legend. Isn't that fun?"

"..."

Ai Haibara glanced at Qi Ming with some surprise.

She never expected that this man would have such childish thoughts.

Looking back at the thick clouds in the sky, Ai Haibara couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Actually, I also quite like sitting by the window, fantasizing about being able to sit on a magic ship in the sky and fly to a dreamlike country above the clouds."

"..."

Qi Ming didn't reply, but just looked down at Ai Haibara.

After saying those words, Ai Haibara noticed Qi Ming's gaze, and the upward curve of her lips immediately turned downward.

She squinted and met Qi Ming's gaze, already pretty much guessing what he was going to say next.

I've recorded what you just said, and I'll put it in the "Human Child Behavior Bizarre Awards" for you later.

However, this time her guess was wrong.

"A sky city above the sea of ​​clouds, huh? That's interesting. I actually built one before, though it was just a small, dilapidated house."

Qi Ming stroked his chin, glanced at the cube materials in his backpack, and smiled as he spoke to Ai Haibara.

"But I do have a template here, how about we make one and fly it up for a bit?"

Ai Haibara stared blankly at Qi Ming for a long while before shaking her head with a smile.

"No need. Since it's a fantasy, let it remain a fantasy."

……

Later, at the invitation of Jirokichi Suzuki, the group took the elevator to the Sky Ship's Sky Observation Deck.

The glass windows of the observation deck can be opened and closed freely, allowing you to see the blue sky and stars while sunbathing. It also features a variety of recreational facilities.

However, this floor cannot be used for entertainment today.

After all, Suzuki Jirokichi had placed the large gem, the young woman in the sky—no, the noblewoman—he used as bait to lure Kaito Kid here, intending to trap him like a turtle in a jar.

Qi Ming and his group weren't the only ones who took the elevator to the observation deck; several reporters from the television station were also there.

However, just by looking at them, you could tell they were a bunch of tacky kids. Their clothes were unfashionable, and their hairstyles were just average. Qi Ming didn't even bother talking to them.

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they saw a group of police officers gathered in front of the observation deck. One of the officers, dressed in a suit, was an old friend of theirs.

Nakamori Ginzo.

As his number one hater, he's everywhere Phantom Thief Kid is.

Upon seeing the group of people emerging from the elevator, Nakamori Ginzo immediately went up to Suzuki Jirokichi and asked him a question.

"Suzuki, are you sure you want to put the gemstone in such an ordinary glass display case?"

"With just an ordinary cabinet like this, let alone Kaito Kid, even I could smash the glass with one punch and take the jewels."

Perhaps because he had successfully protected the Emperor's Memory Egg after defeating Phantom Thief Kid last time, his ego was quite inflated.

"In my opinion, you would be better off handing this gem over to our police for protection."

Suzuki Jirokichi glanced at Mimori Ginzo and snorted coldly.

He had also seen the news about Kaito Kid's defeat in the last episode of Memories of the Egg, which said that the police had a great victory over Kaito Kid.

At first he was quite surprised, but later he asked an acquaintance for help and found out that it seemed that the hang glider had malfunctioned that day and that Kaito Kid had not made any moves at all.

"You don't need to worry about this, Officer Nakamori. I have my reasons for putting it in the cabinet."

"Moreover, as far as I know, Inspector Nakamori, you should have been tricked by Kaito Kid and subdued by your subordinates."

"Forehead……"

Nakamori Ginzo's lips twitched.

Wasn't this matter kept secret? How could he know?

Oh, I forgot, they're a huge conglomerate; they could probably find out this kind of information by asking around.

"Hey, Inspector Nakamori, it's nice to see you again."

Kaito Kuroba suddenly poked his head out from the crowd and greeted Ginzo Nakamori.

Nakamori Ginzo was taken aback, then frowned and approached Kuroba Kaito to question him.

"Kaito, what are you doing here?"

Kaito Kuroba scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and continued to use the same excuse as before.

"I... I took leave. After all, as the number one fan of Phantom Thief Kid, I have to come and lend a hand."

Nakamori Ginzo sighed helplessly. Since he was already here, he couldn't very well throw Kuroba Kaito off the spaceship.

Qi Ming arrived first at the glass cabinet where the gems were stored and curiously examined them.

The Lady of the Sky, a gemstone, is deep blue throughout, with golden galaxy-like particles scattered inside.

The largest golden bead resembles the profile of a woman with long hair, which is probably why the gemstone is named after it.

"Master Ma, have you figured it out?"

Seeing Qi Ming examining the gemstone, Hei Yu quickly came over and asked him a question.

"Yeah, it's pretty."

"...Yes, it is quite pretty."

Kaito Kuroba gave an awkward, apologetic smile.

Who asked if you're pretty? I wanted to ask if you noticed the mechanism here?

Kaito Kuroba's extensive experience in theft tells him that this place where the gems are stored is definitely not as simple as it seems.

However, before he could ask Qi Ming any more questions, Suzuki Jirokichi stepped forward and said cheerfully.

“Inspector Nakamori, let me show you the device I specially prepared to catch Phantom Thief Kid.”

Kaito Kuroba was taken aback, then secretly gave a thumbs-up with his hand behind his back.

Nice Suzuki, you know I've always liked you, you sucker!

However, what Kaito Kuroba didn't notice was that Conan, with his height advantage, saw the hand gesture he made behind his back.
