Model worker and his little darling

Before leaving, Kaito Kuroba, dressed in white, glanced at Hirai, then spread his arms and fell from the plane.

Seeing this, Spider also jumped off the plane and headed towards Kaito Kuroba.

Conan stared wide-eyed at the two figures in the air. They could both fly?!

Meanwhile, Inspector Nakamori and his men finally captured "Phantom Thief Kid".

"I am not Kidd, you have mistaken me for someone else."

Just as Officer Nakamori was determined to take the person away, a white figure streaked across the sky.

"Kidd?"

He glanced blankly at the handsome man whose face had turned pale, then immediately led the group to chase after the white figure.

Seeing Spider right behind him, Kaito Kuroba gritted his teeth and flew towards the dock.

On the plane, Conan looked at the ground with surprise.

"The red light is moving like a ribbon. So that's how it is. They're using the police car lights to create a runway. Brother Pingqing, you can land now."

Looking at the nearly empty dye bottle, Conan's expression turned serious. "We only have one chance."

On the ground, the dock was fully illuminated by police lights, and police cars were lined up neatly at the dock.

Ping Qing slightly curled his lips. "Officer Nakamori is on patrol. What a grand entrance!"

At the dock, Officer Nakamori was still searching for Kid, who had suddenly disappeared.

Takagi turned around and immediately noticed the problem. "Inspector Megure, I feel like it's flying this way."

"What? Get out of the way!"

In an instant, the people on the dock were terrified and panicked; some fled, while others jumped into the sea.

With their combined efforts, the plane made a difficult landing amidst the chaos.

Despite the immense inertia, the plane continued to glide and was about to crash into the crane. After pressing the rudder, the gradually out-of-control plane finally came to a stop.

Conan slumped in his seat. "Great, we did it!"

Turning her head, she found Pingqing already walking outside. "Brother Pingqing, where are you going?"

"I have other things to do. Take care of yourself."

Conan wanted to follow, but found that Hirai had already disappeared.

Then I thought of the man who had inexplicably appeared in the cockpit. It was obvious that he was an enemy of Hirai and Kid.

Judging from his appearance, the person seemed to know his identity.

Now that Pingqing and Kidd are both gone, there's no one to answer his questions.

Back in the cabin, Conan was relieved to find everyone was alright.

After leading the police car to the dock, Kaito Kuroba flew off in the other direction.

Upon spotting the person behind him, he pulled out his pistol and quickly fired backwards, but Spider dodged them all.

Spider chuckled, raised his hand, and shot a small knife at the hang glider before beginning to cast an illusion.

A fiery red sunset appeared before his eyes, and Kaito Kuroba realized he was under a genjutsu. He immediately bit his lip, and the taste of blood helped him break free from the illusion.

When I came to my senses, I found that Spider was already in front of me.

"Kaito Kid, enjoy the last moments of your life."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bullet struck Kaito Kuroba in the shoulder.

Kaito Kuroba winced in pain, but he had run out of bullets, and the remaining ammunition wouldn't harm Spider.

With his hang glider destroyed, Kaito Kuroba plummeted rapidly from the sky.

in the forest.

Kaito Kuroba threw away his hang glider and stumbled forward, clutching his shoulder.

"Tsk, what a terrible day."

When I looked up, I saw Spider standing in front of me with a smile.

Spider waved his right hand at Kaito Kuroba, and he floated in mid-air. "Kaito Kid, this time, no one will come to save you."

Kaito Kuroba licked his lips, a small blade appeared at his fingertips, he cut the wire, and then threw it to the ground.

"Cough cough..."

"Yes, Not Bad."

The dark muzzle of the gun was pointed at Kaito Kuroba. "Let me see what else you can do."

"boom--"

Gunshots rang out continuously, and Kaito Kuroba kept dodging while also trying to avoid falling into an illusion.

As Kidd's movements gradually slowed down, Spider's lips curled into a slight smile. He snapped his fingers, and a silver needle shot out.

"This time, you can't escape."

"is it?"

Taira no Kiyoshi threw a bomb at Spider; he had plenty of those anyway. Then, he grabbed Kuroba Kaito and flew through the air, dodging the massive explosion.

Seeing Hirai, Kaito Kuroba breathed a sigh of relief. "Hirai-nii, you're here."

"Tsk, after practicing for so long, you still managed to make yourself look so disheveled."

Her face was pale, and her clothes were stained with blood and dirt.

Spider dusted himself off and, seeing Pingqing preparing to leave with Kid, immediately activated a magic circle, enveloping the two of them within it.

He knew that Ito Hirakiyo would definitely come to rescue Kid, so he prepared all of this in advance.

Looking at the huge magic circle on the ground, flashing red light, Ping Qing raised an eyebrow. "This is going to be interesting."

Kaito Kuroba coughed twice. "Taikiyo-nii, you should go first."

Hirai glared at Kuroba Kaito, "Shut up."

With a wave of his hand, a beam of white light entered Kaito Kuroba's body.

Kaito Kuroba paused for a moment, then felt less uncomfortable.

Looking at Spider, Pingqing revealed a mocking smile. "Do you think you can trap me like this?"

Spider shook his head. "I don't think I can trap you. I just want to chat with you."

Oh? I wonder what you want to talk about?

“Your origins are mysterious…” Spider frowned as he spoke, seemingly dissatisfied with the word. “It should be described as strange or eerie.”

Kaito Kuroba, standing behind Hirakiyo, glanced at him. "Mysterious background? Isn't he just a magician?"

Could it be a god?

Or, as Hirakiyo himself put it, a demon?

Various outrageous guesses popped into my mind, and they all seemed plausible when applied to Ping Qing.

Ping Qing toyed with the small knife in his hand, his smile eerie. "Your description is quite interesting. Divination? Prophecy?" He himself didn't quite understand what it was all about.

It seems he was too high-profile, which has led the zoo to start studying him.

"Darkness prevails, order collapses, and ultimately, desolation prevails!"

dark?

Taira Kiyoshi thought of Koizumi Akako.

"Do you believe?"

Spider nodded. "I believe you! Although you know some magic, you don't know the wonder of magic, the power of magicians, or the glorious era of magic."

His tone was full of admiration for magic.

"Heh... If magicians were truly as powerful as you say, they wouldn't have been so easily suppressed by the Church. And if magic were so potent, why would you need firearms?"

“Foolish magician, times have changed! This is a scientific society, and not many people know about magic. People just think it's a magic show to amuse people.”

Although Taira no Kiyoshi kept belittling magic, Spider, who championed magic, wasn't angry at all.

"You have never experienced the real world of magic."

Looking at Spider, who kept talking about magic, Pingqing narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering what this eccentric guy was up to.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he recalled what Spider had said to Conan in the cockpit.

So, is the zoo's target Conan this time?

It seems there were zoo staff on the plane. He's been gone for so long, Conan is probably in their hands by now.

The people who inexplicably appeared around Conan a while ago were initially thought to be FBI agents, so this result was quite unexpected.

"Really? I'd love to see it for myself if I had the chance."

As soon as he finished speaking, black mist surged from Ping Qing's body and rushed directly towards Spider.

Spider retreated quickly, this time using dark magic; he had just used healing magic on Kid.

The more this is the case, the more it proves certain conjectures.

Seeing the two start fighting, Kaito Kuroba silently stood at the very edge of the magic circle to avoid being accidentally injured.

Spider, I'm curious, does your zoo have any magicians more powerful than you?

"Of course, in the magical world, I am just an insignificant existence."

Upon hearing this, Ping Qing chuckled lightly, "How about working with me? I still have high hopes for you. Besides, your companions highly regard you."

Spider dodged Pingqing's attack and stopped.

"Is that so? You are a magician, which would be more suitable for our organization. Unfortunately, given your status, this is impossible."

Ping Qing shrugged. "I'm just an ordinary person."

"Lord Yu Lu is no ordinary person."

Without a word, he teleported behind Spider and thrust the poison needle in his hand toward Spider's neck.

The spider's form gradually faded, and it appeared under a large tree.

Seeing this, Ping Qing slightly curled his lips, picked up Kuroba Kaito, and left this place of trouble.

"boom!"

dusty.

"Cough cough..."

Spider, who was at the epicenter of the explosion, gritted his teeth, then seemed to remember something and leisurely left.

Hearing a huge explosion coming from the forest, Kaito Kuroba was shocked. "Taikiyo-nii, when did you plant the bomb?"

"When you were being beaten, seeing that you were not in any immediate danger, they did something beforehand to sabotage the process."

"Oh. Pingqing-ge, is Yulu your code name?"

Pingqing glanced at the inquisitive Douzi and hummed in agreement, "Want a code name?"

"Can I do that too?"

"What do you think?"

Being a code name member in an organization isn't an easy job.

Judging from Ping Qing's tone, Kuroba Kaito understood.

That kind of life isn't for you.

"what?"

"If you keep moving around, I'll throw you in to feed the fish."

Upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba hugged Hirai tightly, no longer daring to move.

……

pier.

Inspector Megure looked at the familiar faces disembarking from the plane, somewhat bewildered. "Brother Mouri, what's going on here?"

"Officer, it's a long story. By the way, this Sakai Natsuki is the murderer who killed Ms. Maki Juri."

And just like that, the bewildered Inspector Megure unwittingly gained credit for having Takagi handcuff the man and put him in the police car.

The crew leader who arrived at the scene was furious when he saw the two captains being carried into the ambulance. He had already planned a series of punishments in his mind, including fines and suspension.

After listening to Uncle Mori's account of what happened, Inspector Megure couldn't find any familiar faces in the crowd.

"Where is Brother Pingqing?"

"What does Inspector Megure want with me?"

He had just rushed back when he heard Inspector Megure was looking for him; he really is destined to be a workaholic.

The crew leader also came over and thanked Hirai Kiyoshi and Kuroba Kaito, who was still wearing Shinsho's skin, profusely.

If they hadn't been called upon to take command and pilot the plane safely, the entire aircraft would likely have perished, resulting in a major accident that shocked the entire nation.

Although the losses at Hakodate Airport were severe, fortunately, there were no serious casualties.

After chatting for a bit, Pingqing found Conan, but before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Conan's nightmarish voice.

"Brother Taira, Haibara has gone missing."

Ping Qing's eyes narrowed. "What's going on?"

"After we got off the plane, they stayed with the professor. Just now, Ayumi suddenly realized that Ai Haibara was missing. We've searched the whole place but haven't found her, and we can't get through to her on her phone either."

"Brother Pingqing, did someone from the organization discover Haibara's identity and take her away?"

If that's the case, does it mean his identity has also been exposed? And what about the people around them...?

On the system map, they saw that Haibara's location was already quite far away from them.

"Not a member of the organization."

Conan paused, taken aback. Not someone from the organization? Then who could it be? Why was Taira Kiyoshi so certain?

"Who took Ai Haibara away?"

"Take care of yourself. Call me if anything happens. I'm going to bring Haibara back now."

Seeing that Pingqing was about to leave, Conan immediately grabbed Pingqing's clothes, "Pingqing-nii, I want to go with you."

He needs to know the truth about all of this: who took Haibara away, and what their purpose was?

Heiji slapped Conan's hand away, "Tell Dr. Agasa and the others not to worry, Haibara will be fine."

The capture of Ai Haibara is most likely due to their shared goal.

Seeing Hirai leave, Conan wanted to follow, but was stopped by Kuroba Kaito.

"You can't go; you won't be able to help him even if you go."

Looking up at Kaito Kuroba and smelling the faint scent of blood emanating from him, Conan frowned.

"You are hurt?"

"It's okay, just a minor injury."

I must say, the medicine Pingqing gave me was very effective, and it even had healing magic. It was quite a novel experience.

Who was that person chasing you on the plane? Did he take Ai Haibara away?

Kaito Kuroba chuckled and patted Conan's big head. "Little detective, are you a walking encyclopedia of questions?"

Conan was furious. Why were they all like this? Haibara was the same, and so was Hirai. They knew all along, but they wouldn't tell him anything.

"Little detective, don't be angry, I'll tell you."

Upon hearing this, Conan forced himself to calm down.

Kaito Kuroba sighed. "The person on the plane was codenamed Spider, a member of the zoo, and an assassin."

Conan looked completely bewildered. "Spider? Zoo? Killer?"

"Hmm, a mysterious organization whose members all use animal code names."

Conan: ...

Another organization has suddenly appeared.

Using animals as code names and alcohol as code names, are these two organizations really unrelated?
