Model worker and his little darling

Conan was also stumped. "I don't know either. Maybe Kid just looks a lot like me."

Upon hearing this, Haibara stabbed Conan again, saying, "Perhaps, you are the real imposter."

Conan: ...

Seriously? He's the victim here!

Then, glancing at the composed Ran, Conan suddenly realized that it might be a good thing to reveal his identity; at least he wouldn't be deceived by that thief.

Seeing the uncle's actions, Officer Nakamori also walked over to Kaito Kuroba's side.

"You suspect that this kid is Kid in disguise, and that is indeed a possibility."

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled at Kaito Kuroba's face, wanting to check it himself before he would feel at ease.

Officer Nakamori was much more brutal than the older man; he used both hands directly.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Don't do that, Officer Nakamori!"

Seeing the bucket so badly damaged, Pingqing almost burst out laughing.

In order to maintain his image, he had no choice but to turn his head away.

That's horrible!

Douzi is probably regretting it to death right now.

Kaito Kuroba did indeed regret it; judging from the others' reactions, they probably knew his identity the moment he appeared.

Failed!

Unexpectedly, the young detective revealed his true identity.

Given that his face was completely undetectable, Inspector Nakamori announced, "Very well, I can confirm that he is indeed Shinichi Kudo. Just to be on the safe side, I'll also expose everyone else's faces."

Ping Qing raised an eyebrow. The people in this world of science fiction have such unpredictable and sometimes bad eyesight.

Officer Nakamori watched Touko grow up, and with a new hairstyle, he was unrecognizable.

As he pondered this, Pingqing suddenly wondered if Qingzi would recognize Douzi in this state.

That scene must have been quite spectacular.

Uncle Mori glanced at Kaito Kuroba, who was rubbing his face, and waved his hand. "There's no need for that. I've already thought of a way to capture Kid."

If it weren't for the fact that Conan's experiences were so bizarre and complicated, and that they weren't currently in danger, he would have handcuffed this imposter right away.

Upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba felt that running away was the most important thing.

"Well, I'll investigate in my own way."

Seeing this, Conan pointed at the counterfeit item, "He...he is clearly..."

Before she could finish speaking, the uncle glared at her and shut her up.

You brat, don't you know how dangerous your situation is? Are you afraid others won't notice you're up to something?

Conan thought about it and still felt very unwilling.

So she walked over to Kaito Kuroba, clung tightly to his clothes, and blinked her big eyes, looking just like an innocent and adorable child.

"Shinichi-nii, we haven't seen you in so long. With you here today, we're sure we can catch Kaito Kid."

He emphasized the words "Phantom Thief Kid" with extra force.

Then he winked at Hirai and the three little detectives.

Upon hearing that they could join the famous high school detective in catching the Phantom Thief Kid, the three kids were very excited and immediately surrounded Kaito Kuroba.

"Big brother, don't underestimate us. We've solved a lot of cases too."

Kaito Kuroba tried hard to pull the clothes out of Conan's hands, but failed.

"Hehe...you guys are really amazing."

It seems like things went too far.

The pleading gaze drifted towards Pingqing.

Heiji pretended not to see it; he wanted to see what Conan would do next, which was much more exciting than the play on stage.

But when he received the older man's gaze, Pingqing still smiled and walked to Kuroba Kaito's side, put his arm around his shoulder, and walked out while talking.

"Kudo, it's been a long time since we last met. You'll have to stay a while longer this time. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, just tell us."

Seeing that Pingqing had followed, the uncle felt relieved and began to discuss with Inspector Nakamori the plan to capture Kid. Obviously, they would not be able to catch him.

In his view, Kidd was not important; all that mattered was protecting the Stone of Destiny from being stolen.

Watching the group leave, Sonoko looked at Ran, who had remained calm, with a puzzled expression. This was completely different from what she had imagined.

"Your husband finally came back, why don't you talk to him?"

Xiao Lan smiled and shook her head, "It's alright, the case is more important."

"Hmm? You all seem a bit strange."

"Alright, Sonoko, the performance is about to start. Let's go check out the stage first."

As the sun set, Pingqing led a group of children to the large floor-to-ceiling window.

The beautiful sunset drew endless praise from the three little ones.

Conan glared fiercely at Kaito Kuroba, "You've gone too far! You actually impersonated me and sneaked in."

Kaito Kuroba patted Conan's big head. "Oh dear, little detective, don't be angry. I didn't expect you to reveal your identity to that detective."

Conan turned his head away arrogantly. Luckily, he confessed, otherwise this shameless person would definitely take advantage of Ran by using his identity.

"Hmph, you can't escape this time."

Kaito Kuroba looked at the small hand tightly gripping his clothes and said, "Yes, yes, with the great detective here, I definitely won't run away."

Conan was stunned. Would Kid give in so easily?

Pingqing stroked his chin. "Conan, do you think if we send him to prison like this, people will think it's Shinichi Kudo? I can guess what the media will say."

"The former high school detective disappeared and then reappeared, now a criminal! What drove him to this point..."

Hearing what Ping Qing said, Conan felt like he was about to have a heart attack.

His unfriendly gaze swept over Kaito Kuroba. "Kid, you didn't use my face to do other bad things, did you?"

If that were the case, his reputation would be ruined.

Kaito Kuroba waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, this is the first time. I will never do it again."

Honestly, this really is the first time he's ever dressed up as Shinichi Kudo.

"You want a future?"

"If I really did something bad with your face, a big celebrity like you would definitely be in the news by now."

That's what he said, but Conan was still very unhappy. He secretly tightened his grip, making Kaito Kuroba wince in pain.

Kaito Kuroba's resentful gaze drifted towards Hirai, who was not only not saving him but also adding fuel to the fire.

Soon, night fell, and the performance in the theater officially began.

Conan kept a close eye on Kaito Kuroba, not giving him any chance to do anything bad.

After a long while, the performance on stage was about to come to an end.

Kaito Kuroba nudged Conan. "Little detective, how about we go up to the rooftop for some fresh air?"

Conan's eyes narrowed. Was Kid about to make a move?

Hmph, with him around, forget it!

Seeing that Kid was about to run away, Conan called Hirai, and the three of them went to the rooftop together.

Under the cover of night, Kaito Kuroba undergoes a glamorous transformation, his white outfit standing out brightly in the darkness.

“It’s time we got to know each other.” With that, Conan pressed the switch on his energy shoes.

Kaito Kuroba smiled slightly and adjusted the brim of his hat.

"Conan, dinner is ready."

Upon hearing Ran's voice, Conan instinctively turned around.

When he found himself alone, he realized he had fallen for Kidd's trick again.

Immediately afterwards, Kaito Kuroba took out a playing card gun and aimed it at Conan, but he could only miss the outline.

To Pingqing, it was like teasing.

However, after being provoked during the day, Conan showed no mercy whatsoever.

The soccer ball grazed past Kaito Kuroba's face, but he dodged it.

The two fought back and forth, but neither of them actually managed to hurt the other.

As for Pingqing, the two above him couldn't care less and could only watch the sci-fi action blockbuster for free.

After Kaito Kuroba shot out the playing card, Conan twisted his ankle, screamed, and fell off the roof.

Kaito Kuroba was quite frightened and quickly deployed his hang glider to rush down and rescue the person.

Unexpectedly, Conan, who was falling from the building, shot him with a tranquilizer dart.

Fortunately, I turned to the side in time and avoided the anesthetic needle.

Seeing that the tranquilizer dart had no effect, Conan untied the straps, and a paraglider emerged from the backpack he had been carrying.

For a moment, the two people floating in the sky kept shuttling between the buildings.

Ping Qing was amazed. This was an exhibition of Dr. Agasa's works.

As expected, we need to use Professor Agasa to defeat Professor Agasa.

Seeing that Conan was relentlessly pursuing him, Kaito Kuroba had no choice but to remove his hang glider and land in the car.

So Conan also threw away his paraglider and stood opposite Kaito Kuroba.

"That's pretty good. Was that paraglider invented by Professor Agasa?"

Conan looked smug. "You have nowhere to run now. If Kaito Kid can't fly, he's just an ordinary thief."

"In that case, I'll just turn back into the original Phantom Thief Kid."

Upon hearing this, Conan realized something was wrong. Looking up, he discovered that Kid's removal of the hang glider was just an illusion; he had actually been flying a kite the whole time.

Seeing Conan rushing over, Kaito Kuroba pressed a button and took off, causing Conan to miss his target.

"Goodbye, little detective."

Watching Kid walk away, Conan was filled with impotent rage.

After the show ended, Heikichi leisurely found a dejected Conan at the train station.

"Wow, Professor Agasa has upgraded your equipment."

"Kidd still got away."

Pingqing took out his phone and handed it to Conan, "I recorded a video of you guys. Study it carefully and try to catch Kid next time."

He certainly wanted to record the famous scenes of their love-hate relationship.

Conan rolled his eyes. "Brother Pingqing, instead of helping, you're just doing this."

"What can I do? You guys have guns and tranquilizer darts, and you can even fly. How am I supposed to help you? I don't have wings. If I jump, I'm really done for."

"You should look on the bright side. At least Kidd didn't get the gem, so you've won a small round."

Conan sighed. "That's all I can think of for now."

The next day.

Everyone gathered at Haneda Airport.

Uncle Mori scratched his head sheepishly, "I'm really sorry, you even invited us to the victory celebration."

Masayo Yaguchi smiled and said, "Thanks to you all, the gem is safe and sound. It's only right."

"That's right, please don't stand on ceremony, just enjoy your trip to Hakodate."

Maki arrived late; it turned out that makeup artist Sakai Natsuki had been doing her makeup the whole time.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the group boarded the plane intact.

Everyone was happy, but Xiaolan seemed preoccupied, constantly looking back.

As she had been waiting, an elegant and intellectual woman appeared in her field of vision.

"Oh, is Mom going to Hakodate too? What a coincidence. Dad and Mom really do have a special connection."

The slightly affected performance made the older man and Eri Kisaki immediately realize that Ran was behind it all.

However, this proud couple was not as harmonious as Xiaolan had imagined. They started arguing after only a few words and declared that they would never sit together.

Uncle Mori walked straight up to Maki Juri and said, "Excuse me, Juri-san, may I sit next to you?"

"Of course, please take a seat."

Seeing this, Eri Kisaki decided to retaliate, "Excuse me for disturbing you, Ms. Maki Juri, I am Eri Kisaki, thank you very much for inviting me to Hakodate."

Seeing the man shoo him away, Eri Kisaki smiled slightly. "If that lewd man next to you does anything that makes you uncomfortable, feel free to talk to me." With that, she handed over her business card and returned to her seat alone.

Seeing her parents arguing, Xiaolan sighed, "How did things turn out like this?"

Sonoko was helpless; in fact, this scene was predictable.

Just then, Shinjō, who had declined the celebration banquet due to feeling unwell, also caught the plane.

"Hello everyone, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Upon seeing the unexpected person appear, Mu Shuli's expression turned uneasy.

Xinzhuang walked up to the tree and squatted down, giving it a kiss on the hand.

Mu Shuli was very unhappy. "Why won't you do as I say?"

This man is completely unreliable.

"Don't worry, there will be enough time for the child to prepare when we get there."

With all passengers on board, the plane officially took off.

Seeing Ke's solemn expression, Ping Qing curled her lip, clearly thinking about Douzi.

“Brother Pingqing, I don’t think he really wanted to steal the gem last night. What was his purpose? Do you think he might have already boarded the plane?”

Heiji stretched, and it has to be said that Conan is indeed very perceptive in this regard.

"possible."

Just then, the voices of three little ones came from the side.

Genta noticed that his seat was 4K, like the K in Kid. Mitsuhiko also said that his seat was 4J, like the J in Big Mac, while Ayumi's was 4B.

The child's innocent words made Conan suddenly realize the truth, and he instantly deciphered the contents of the notice.

"I understand. The four words in Kidd's advance notice refer to communication codes, which are codes used to prevent mishearing during wireless communication."

"R is pronounced Romeo, J is pronounced Juliet, V is pronounced Victor, and B is pronounced Bravo. This communication code is also used in the aircraft's radio communications, which means he has to operate on an aircraft that knows how to use these letters."

"He tore the 2 of spades in half, which means that the odd number cannot be divided by 2, and the return flight is even. So he's already on this plane."

"As for his actions last night, he deliberately drew my attention to make me think that his operation had failed, but his real purpose was to make us lower our guard."

Ping Qing applauded Conan, "Amazing! Not only did you decipher the pre-announcement letter, but you also analyzed the other person's mind perfectly."

In comparison, the older man's reasoning seems more convincing.

"Now we need to find out who Kid disguised himself as to get on the plane, and we also need to protect the Stone of Destiny."

"Go for it, great detective!"
