Model worker and his little darling

Chapter 462 The So-Called Natural Enemies

The diplomat looked at Officer Nakamori beside him. "Are you referring to Officer Nakamori, who is currently speaking with Her Majesty's guards?"

The Queen chuckled softly, "No, I just saw him in my private room, that thief named Kaito Kid."

Upon hearing this, Officer Nakamori's expression changed drastically. He shoved the diplomat aside and rushed to the Queen, "Really? Your Majesty!"

The next second, six guns were pointed at Officer Nakamori's head.

"Take off your clothes, everyone. He's a Japanese policeman."

Upon hearing the Queen's command, the guards respectfully withdrew.

Inspector Nakamori continued to press Kid about the matter.

"What exactly is Kidd here for?"

"They came to steal the treasure of our Principality of Ingram—this crystal gem, known as the largest gem in Europe!"

The diplomat standing nearby was devastated. "How could this be? Was the notice sent to the embassy really genuine?"

In contrast, Inspector Nakamori was more realistic: "But why didn't that guy take the gem?"

The Queen picked up the jewel from her chest, "because he knew at a glance that this jewel was fake, and the real jewel was perfectly hidden somewhere else."

Officer Nakamori rubbed his hands together. "Your Majesty, where is the real gem?"

"You can't tell the officer that Kidd might be eavesdropping somewhere on this train."

Upon hearing this, Officer Nakamori focused his attention on Kid and loudly gave orders to his men.

“Kidd is in this car right now. Go find the suspicious guys and check every single passenger from head to toe.”

Seeing this, the Queen stopped Officer Nakamori from taking action.

"Please don't do this. I won't allow it to cause trouble for other passengers because of our Principality of Ingram. We still have two and a half hours until Osaka. Will he steal the jewels during that time, as stated in the advance notice?"

As they were talking, a handsome little boy walked over carrying a teddy bear.

The usually gentle and elegant queen suddenly changed her expression, looking at her son seriously, "Philip, haven't I told you many times not to leave the room? And in front of outsiders, you must call me Her Majesty the Queen."

"sorry!"

After apologizing, Philip pointed to the gem on the Queen's chest, "But that gem is not quite the same shape as the one we saw before."

Upon hearing this, Officer Nakamori picked up the gemstone and examined it.

Soon, they discovered a bugging device hidden inside, knowing it was left by Kidd, and then they yelled wildly at the bugging device.

"Listen up, Phantom Thief Kid. As long as I'm here, I won't let you have any chance to touch the jewel." With that, he threw the bugging device on the ground and stomped on it until it was smashed.

On the other side, Kaito Kuroba's expression suddenly changed drastically, and his whole body stiffened. He was quite agitated by his father-in-law's loud voice.

Aoko, who was reading a magazine, looked at Kaito Kuroba with a puzzled expression. "Kaito, what's wrong?"

"Haha... It's nothing."

You can't exactly say that your dad yelled at you.

"Seriously, Kaito, cheer up! We're going to see Her Majesty the Queen together later, and I even made a reservation."

Seeing the ticket in Aoko's hand, Kaito Kuroba perked up completely.

"Qingzi..."

Meanwhile, a young couple on the bus were also expressing their feelings.

"I'm so lucky to be on the same train as my beloved Queen. I must thank Kazuha and the others who invited us to Osaka."

Seeing Ran's excited expression, Conan suddenly remembered another person's voice.

He saw Inspector Nakamori when he got on the bus, which meant that the jewel thief would also be there.

……

Meanwhile, Officer Nakamori was still asking where the real gemstones were hidden.

The Queen smiled. "If you're really that worried, then please stay by my side. Now, let's have a drink."

Officer Nakamori waved his hands repeatedly in refusal, saying, "We are on official duty right now, and alcohol is not an option..."

"You're the first person to refuse my service."

As soon as the Queen finished speaking, the guards beside her glared menacingly at Officer Nakamori.

Intimidated, Officer Nakamori immediately changed his tune, "Then I won't stand on ceremony, I'll only drink this one."

When Kaito Kuroba and Aoko arrived, Inspector Nakamori, who had only had one drink, was already tipsy. "European wine... it really is the best. Once you start drinking, you can't stop."

He also introduced his beloved daughter and her classmates to the Queen.

And so, the two remained in the carriage where the Queen was.

Kaito Kuroba surveyed the carriage, searching for the jewel, his gaze gradually settling on the kitten beside the Queen.

"Kaito, you've been staring at Her Majesty the Queen ever since just now."

Teased by Aoko, Kaito Kuroba snapped back to reality. "No way, I was looking at His Majesty's cat."

At that moment, Prince Philip suddenly appeared.

"Are you talking about Xisha? Isn't she cute? She's two years old this year." She then whistled to call the kitten over.

As soon as Qingzi held the kitten in her arms, it slipped under the table.

Kaito Kuroba's eyes lit up, and he crawled under the table to check if the kitten was alright, only to get scratched several times.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the kitten, Kaito Kuroba turned his attention to the teddy bear that Prince Philip was holding.

"Your toy is so cute! Can I take a look?"

He then picked up the teddy bear and examined it, but still found nothing.

Prince Philip nudged Kaito Kuroba's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Big brother, you wouldn't happen to be... Kaito Kid, would you?"

Kaito Kuroba quickly shoved the teddy bear into Philip's hands, scratching his head and grinning sheepishly, "Don't joke like that, how could that be?"

"What? You guessed wrong. I know where the gem is hidden, but I'm not telling you."

Kaito Kuroba choked for a moment. This brat…

However, Philip, who wanted to stay and protect his mother and the jewels, was imprisoned by the Queen.

After crying for a while, she hugged the bear and went to the corridor.

"You must be Prince Philip."

"you are?"

"Edogawa Conan is a detective!"

After some communication, Conan understood the current situation: Kid had already sent out a notice, the target of which was—the Crystal Mother.

"You're amazing! You're a detective even though you're still a child."

Conan's lips twitched. Could he say that he was already 17 years old?

Thanks to Conan's reminder, Philip learned the location of the jewel.

"Conan, you really know Kid so well."

Conan laughed; they might just be natural rivals.

Hearing footsteps, Conan's expression changed. He opened the door and saw a tall, burly man standing outside.

"Uncle, what's the matter?"

The man lowered the brim of his hat. "It's nothing, sorry." He then hurriedly walked into the private room next door. "What a hassle, I went to the wrong room."

A woman's voice came from inside, "Really, Dad, can't you be more careful?"

Conan stood at the doorway, deep in thought. That man had definitely been eavesdropping on their conversation. More importantly, he felt like he'd seen that man somewhere before.

It's a ten-minute drive from Osaka.

The Queen swirled her wine glass. "It seems even the famous Phantom Thief Kid didn't get a chance to strike. I've won this contest."

Watching Officer Nakamori and the Queen begin their celebration, Kaito Kuroba's gaze gradually focused on the ice cubes in his glass.

It seems there hasn't been any change since just now; the shape should normally be...

After figuring it all out, a smug smile appeared on his face.

He handed the prepared drink to Aoko, then turned and went to the restroom.

Attracted by the dried flowers and fragrance on the coaster, Aoko took a deep breath and fell into a deep sleep.

Kaito Kuroba looked at Aoko with remorse, "I'm sorry!"

At the same time, Conan also realized the man's identity.

He had seen it on the doctor's computer; it was Jekar, an internationally wanted jewel thief and a ruthless villain.

Suddenly, all the lights on the train went out.

Before anyone could react, the lights came on again.

The Queen froze, stunned, as she looked at the table laden with cups.

"How could this happen? Everyone, find the glass the officer was drinking from just now."

Officer Nakamori was stunned. "There were gems in my drinking glass. How audacious!"

If he had known beforehand that his wine glass contained the largest gemstone in Europe, a crystal, he would never have been able to drink it.

Fortunately, the gem was soon returned to the Queen's hands.

Just then, the playing card gun aimed at the jewel in the Queen's hand, and the playing card knocked the jewel away from her hand.

After catching the gem, Kaito Kuroba, dressed in white, stood by the window and said, "It is a great honor to see your face again, Your Majesty."

The Queen snorted coldly, "Phantom Thief Kid? Foolish, this is on a train, you have no way out."

“Your Majesty, Phantom Thief Kid is elusive. And don’t forget that while you are the Queen, you also have a mother with hearts. Farewell.”

Upon hearing this, the Queen paused slightly, her gaze falling on the playing cards in Kaito Kuroba's hand.

Immediately afterwards, Kaito Kuroba disappeared into the smoke.

Seeing this, the experienced officer Nakamori immediately began to deploy his strategic plan.

"Inform them to set up a cordon in this area and not let that thief get away."

Seeing that Inspector Nakamori's attention was drawn to the mannequin in the sky, Kaito Kuroba sat smugly on the train roof.

"Still so naive, officer. You get fooled by that mannequin every time."

However, an innocent voice rang out from behind, "The innocent one is you, big brother, right? Give me back the gem. My country will be in trouble without it, so please give the gem back to me."

Kaito Kuroba asked curiously, "How did you know I was here?"

"Conan told me."

Kaito Kuroba chuckled and pointed the jewel at the moon. So that little detective was here too. He wondered how that little detective would try to stop him.

Then he looked around, trying to find the little detective.

"Also, it was the uncle who helped me get here, the kind man behind me..."

Before Philip could finish speaking, the "kind" uncle slapped Philip to the ground, pulled out a gun, and pointed it at Kaito Kuroba. "I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, Kaito Kid."

Kaito Kuroba instinctively pulled out his playing card gun, which instantly disintegrated.

Gunshots rang out, and Kaito Kuroba could only dodge in all directions.

“Sorry, I don’t have time to play with you anymore.” The man pressed the gun against Philip’s head. “Put down the jewels. You don’t want me to kill this kid, do you?”

"No, big brother, you mustn't give it to him."

Kaito Kuroba tossed the gem in his hand. "Unfortunately, this gem is not the Pandora you've been searching for."

The man snorted coldly, "I'll confirm for myself whether it's true or not. Turn around."

The Queen, inside the carriage, became anxious upon hearing her son's voice coming from the roof.

Officer Nakamori pointed his phone at the roof of the car and snapped several photos.

Upon seeing the photo of her son lying on the roof of a car, with a fierce-looking man holding a gun to his head, the Queen fainted spectacularly.

Kaito Kuroba gently placed the gem on the roof of the car.

The man held Philip down, pointing the gun at Kaito Kuroba. "Don't make any rash moves. All the good things we did before have been ruined. Turn around now, you immortal Phantom Thief Kid, your end has come."

Kaito Kuroba touched the gun at his waist, the one he was most comfortable using during training, but when he saw Philip, he turned away.

"is it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the white cloak fell off and covered the man's face.

The bullet pierced the cloak, and the man threw it away.

"Damn it, don't underestimate people."

As it turned out, Kaito Kuroba had already disappeared, and the train was about to enter the tunnel.

The man's expression changed drastically, but he still crashed into the wall.

Inside the car, Conan was also taking action. If that person was Jacques, then the other person was probably...

Just then, a train conductor stood at the door of the Queen's carriage and pulled out a pistol.

"Oh dear, big sister, the color of your socks is wrong. They were white just now. When did you change them?"

Seeing Conan roll up his trouser leg, the woman became furious and turned her gun on Conan.

But Conan, who was already prepared, fired a tranquilizer dart, and the woman fainted and rushed over.

Upon arriving at the room where the two were plotting, they found the window wide open and a rope ladder; the man had already climbed up from there.

If it were that Phantom Thief Kid, he probably wouldn't be so easily defeated.

With that thought in mind, Conan left with a clear conscience.

In the car, Kaito Kuroba helped Philip up, "Are you alright, little brother?"

Philip gripped Kaito Kuroba's clothes tightly, "Give me back the jewel. Without it, the people of our country will..."

"You won't get the jewel back if you lied, right? You wanted it for Mom's sake, didn't you? You wanted Mom's praise, didn't you?"

Inside the carriage, the unconscious Queen kept calling out Philip's name.

When she woke up, she saw her son standing in front of her, with some small marks on his face.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to catch up with Phantom Thief Kid and get the jewel back, but he still took it from me."

Upon hearing this, the Queen slapped Philip across the face.

"Why don't you listen to me? Why do you always do such dangerous things?"
