Accidental Death

Everyone in Ayatsuji said so, how dare Kuroba Kaito mind?

The Phantom Thief, who gave the police a headache, tried his best to show a smile that was not much better than crying, and said that there was no problem at all, and he would be happy to chat with Mr. Ayatsuji.

Seeing Kaitou Kidd's appearance, Edogawa Conan felt that the other party looked like a cat whose neck was pinched.

On the other hand, Nakamori Police Department, who didn't know anything, stepped forward and patted Kaito Kuroba on the shoulder, saying that you and Mr. Ayatsuji haven't seen each other for such a long time, so let's catch up on the past!

Kuroba Kaito had an unlovely expression on his face.

Edogawa Conan twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling that he had really opened his eyes.

Before that, he never imagined that one day Kaitou Kidd would be put together with the words "well-behaved" and "safe".

——What is the relationship between Ayatsuji pedestrians and Kaitou Kidd? !

After Nakamori Police Department was busy with the arrangement of the guards again, Ayatsuji pedestrians and "Kudo Shinichi" also left the exhibition hall and went to the rooftop.

Edogawa Conan took advantage of the time between Mori Kogoro and Suzuki Jirokichi to sneak out and quietly followed behind the two who left.

And what about Kuroba Kaito?

After confirming that his identity was exposed, he has been thinking about how to explain it to Ayatsuji pedestrians.

But the most important thing is Ayatsuji pedestrian's attitude towards this matter.

Kaito Kuroba secretly glanced at Ayatsuji Xingren, and found that there was no way to get any information from the detective's expression. "Define it! !

Edogawa Conan guessed right, Kuroba Kaito and Ayatsuji Xingren did know each other.

If I have to say it, Ayatsuji Xingren seems to be the old friend of his father Kuroba Touichi.

Long before Kuroba's death, Ayatsuji's pedestrians would visit Kuroba's house from time to time.

As for how Ayatsuji Xingren and his father met, Kuroba Kaito is not clear, it seems that the relationship between Ayatsuji Xingren and his father has been very good since he had the impression.

Therefore, although Ayatsuji Xingren is not much older than Kuroba Kaito, he is considered half an elder to him.

After Kuroba Touichi passed away for some reason, Ayatsuji pedestrians went to another city because of their studies. Although Kuroba Kaito and him are still in contact, the number of times they meet is very small.

Five years ago, Kaito Kuroba couldn't even contact him directly.

At that time, he was worried about the safety of Ayatsuji Xingren. After all, Ayatsuji Xingren was already a professional hero and a detective at that time. If he suddenly disappeared out of thin air, anyone would suspect that he was in some danger.

But before Kuroba Kaito could start the investigation, he received a contact from the Professional Heroes Association, saying that Ayatsuji pedestrians had taken over a special task assigned by the government.Because of confidentiality regulations, it is now forbidden for anyone to communicate with him.

Kaito Kuroba still remembered the feeling of suffocation at that time.

——Ayatsuji Xingto is like the shadow of childhood to Kuroba Kaito.

In fact, there is not much difference in age between him and Yan Tsuji, so his mother always used Yi Tsuji, a "child of other people's family", to encourage him to study.

Even after going abroad, I never forget to mention Ayatsuji-kun every time I call.

The effect speaks for itself.

Fortunately, Kaito Kuroba has a detached personality. If it were someone else, he might have regarded Ayatsuji as his lifelong enemy.

Some time ago, seeing that Ayatsuji Xingren finally graduated and became the youngest professional hero in history, Kaito Kuroba felt that the other party had almost reached the limit of human beings.

Unexpectedly, now Ayatsuji Xingren was invited by the government to do a secret mission.

...so terrifying.

Closer to home, even if Ayatsuji Xingren is familiar with his father, Kuroba Kaito feels that he probably doesn't know the identity of "Kaito Kid".

After all, Ayatsuji Xingren was still young at that time, and Black Feather Pirates would not even tell the other party this.

Thinking of what he was going to explain next, Kaito Kuroba really wanted to escape from the scene of this disaster movie.

On the rooftop, the detective went out first.

Although it was noon, the sun was not too dazzling because of the cloudy sky.

Ayatsuji Pedestrian bent down and clasped the metal mesh of the ventilation duct under his feet, and found that it was completely fixed on the ground before getting up again, as if he was really checking whether the roof was safe.

Kuroba Kaito hesitated for a while, and then said: "Have you completed your previous mission?"

Some time ago, he was surprised when he saw Ayatsuji Xingren serving as Xiongying. After all, according to the government worker five years ago, everything around Ayatsuji Xingren should be kept secret.

Serving as a hero is obviously not in line with their principles.

"ended."

Ayatsuji pedestrians patted the non-existent dust on their hands, then stopped by the railing, looked back at Kaito Kuroba, and stretched out his hand: "Mobile phone."

Kaito Kuroba reflexively handed over the phone, and then asked, "What's wrong?"

The detective didn't raise his head: "I forgot to give you your contact information before."

"……Oh."

Kuroba Kaito sized up Ayatsuji pedestrian who was staring down at the phone screen, and didn't know what to say.

The other party suddenly disappeared five years ago, but now it seems to be the same as before.

After entering the number, Ayatsuji pedestrians threw the phone back to Kaito Kuroba.

Kaito Kuroba took the phone and couldn't help asking: "...don't you ask me about Kaitou Kidd?"

"Ask you what?" Ayatsuji pedestrian glanced at him and asked, "Why did you want to learn from your father to be a phantom thief? Or why did you use this method to confront those people?"

Kuroba Kaito felt chills behind his cold eyes, and it took him two seconds to react: "Wait! Do you know that my father is Kaitou Kid?"

Ayatsuji Pedestrian put his hands on the railing, casually: "Yeah."

Kuroba Kaito: "..." You should have said it earlier!

But this is really good news, Kuroba Kaito instantly heaved a sigh of relief.

If the identity of Kaitou Kidd is thrown away, he is still very happy to see Ayatsuji Xingren after many years.

After chatting about some trivial things, Kuroba Kaito said again: "Actually, what happened this time—"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ayatsuji pedestrians.

The detective looked at the water tank at the entrance of the rooftop: "About this, Kudo-kun over there should have his own opinion, right?"

Black Feather was stunned for a moment.

Now that they were all discovered, Edogawa Conan, who was hiding behind the water tank, had no choice but to come out.

The matter of eavesdropping on the two people's conversation was exposed, and the boy's face showed some subtle embarrassment—especially when the two people in front of him knew their true identities.

Although he only heard the second half because he came late, from the conversation between Ayatsuji Pedestrian and Kaitou Kidd, it is not difficult for him to see that the two not only know each other, but also have a good relationship.

Conan Edogawa suddenly felt sorry for Suzuki Jirokichi, and the helper he invited actually knew the prisoner.

But thinking of the old man's character, he might say "As expected of Detective Ayatsuji, he even knows someone like Kaitou Kidd".

Conan Edogawa would not doubt Ayatsuji pedestrians because of this.No matter how you say it, Ayatsuji Xingren is a professional hero, and he will not be in the same boat as Kaitou Kidd.

Kuroba Kaito walked over and pinched Edogawa Conan's face, and said with a smile: "A famous detective can also eavesdrop."

Edogawa Conan: "... let me go!"

After Kuroba Kaito put him down, Edogawa Conan raised his head and looked directly at him: "It's not your intention to steal 'Crimson Star' this time, is it?"

Kuroba Kaito leaned down and murmured, "How did you find out?"

"The first point, although the font on the notice letter is very similar to the previous ones, it actually uses a different font. As for the second point," Edogawa Conan paused, "This time the notice letter is similar to that of the Phantom Thief. Compared with De's previous notice letters, it is too simple, as if I am afraid that people who see it will not be able to decipher it."

Edogawa Conan: "So I guess, someone pretending to be you sent that letter."

"correct!"

Kaito Kuroba stood up, took out a mini firework from nowhere, sprayed Edogawa Conan with colorful ribbons.

The latter tore off the ribbon on his body in disgust after being frightened.

Ayatsuji asked Kaito Kuroba, "Do you have any clues about who sent the warning letter?"

Kaito Kuroba explained: "Some time ago, I suddenly received an anonymous email, which contained information related to 'Crimson Star', the structure diagram of the exhibition hall, and the location of the anti-theft facilities. The sender said he wanted me to steal it. Take this gem...and he doesn't seem to have much interest in the gem itself."

"This incident is a bit strange, so I didn't pay attention to it at the time. I didn't expect to receive a message today saying that 'I' sent a notice letter. The person who sent the notice letter should be the same person who sent me the email before."
