【Quick New】In the Name of Love · In the Name of Love- XXIV

"Hey! Shinichi—"

Mao Lilan's voice came from another direction.Kudo subconsciously turned his head to take a look, and when he came back to his senses, Kaito Kidd had disappeared into the crowd.

Kudo curled his lips in disappointment.

Suston's Three Principles...

So this guy is going to do it again with the same trick, is it because he thinks no one will break his trick?Kudo sneered.

He'll expose his tactics and have a good talk with him.

"... Hearing you say that, uncle, I really want to say the phrase 'a frog at the bottom of a well'..."

Suzuki Sonoko's voice reached his ears, and Kudo frowned, as if a key was lightly inserted into the lockhole in his mind, and the metal collision made a crisp sound.

The...frog at the bottom of the well...?

"—Next, before Kidd appears, let's review the video data from last night—"

There was a live TV broadcast on Suzuki Sonoko's mobile phone, and the sound attracted Kudo's attention. He snatched her mobile phone from Sonoko almost anxiously, and watched closely while saying "Sorry Suzuki, let me borrow your mobile phone" Watching yesterday's replay.Suzuki was talking to Lan, when he was suddenly interrupted by Kudo Shinichi who had entered detective mode, he snorted dissatisfiedly, and muttered complainingly, "I think Detective Kudo is also a fan of Lord Kidd secretly, seeing his The news runs faster than anyone else," and then let him go.

Lan couldn't help laughing because of this sentence: "It's like a child who gets a gift and can't wait to unpack it."

Kudo had no time to think about and refute these, but just looked at the video data nervously.

"—First, Kaitou Kid, who landed gracefully on the display stand set up at the intersection of Ginza No. 20 Street. Then he disappeared into the smoke, and after about [-] seconds..."

The camera swept across the huge posters and the ever-changing LED billboards, and fell on the strange thief Kidd who suddenly appeared on the rooftop. The voice of the host became agitated, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It's on the roof Yes! What a miracle! This can really be said to be teleportation!"

Kudo Shinichi frowned even deeper, and touched his chin.

...Wait a minute, if he read correctly just now...

——So it is!

Kudo Shinichi showed a winning smile, then turned around and started running in one direction.

Phantom Thief Kid fell from the sky as gorgeously as yesterday, followed by smoke, and then disappeared into thin air.Exactly the same as yesterday's magic show.

The crowd was waiting nervously, but no one noticed that a black figure passed through the crowd, rushed to a building, put on a seat belt, raised the corners of their lips, pressed the communication button, and said, "Start!" Bar."

The black shadow began to rise rapidly.

He took out the magic gun from his pocket, aimed it in one direction, then pressed the trigger, and a card flew out spinning.

"Three-"

The second card flew out.

"Two—"

third.

"One—"

He couldn't help but chuckled—it seemed that the big detective had lost this game.So, have the three principles of Saxton been successfully challenged by yourself?Tsk, this feeling is really incomparable——

"Zero."

The familiar voice suddenly interrupted his already drifting thoughts, like a basin of cold water poured down unexpectedly.His scalp seemed to explode, followed by a burst of numbness.He pressed the communication button in a panic, and shouted: "Throw away the weight! Quick!"

Just when he was about to approach the top, his upward movement finally stopped.He raised his head and looked at the big detective standing under the moonlight, looking at him with determination, his smile was inevitably a little stiff-hey hey, he thought he had succeeded, and was about to go back to celebrate, but the flag couldn't stand too much Is it early...

Shinichi Kudo put his hands in his pockets, looked down at Kaitou Kidd, who looked up at him, and said slowly: "Unfortunately, the reward tonight is zero...Mr. Magician under the moonlight."

Kaitou Kidd looked at that smile and was still depressed in his heart. For some reason, these feelings seemed to disappear in an instant, replaced by a feeling of throbbing.He looked at that smile almost obsessively, and even time seemed to stand still for him for a second, subconsciously saving the image of such a great detective in his memory.

...Wait a minute, now is not the time to be excited.He secretly pinched his thigh, quickly changed into his signature poker face, and began to think of countermeasures in his mind.

At this time, Kudo Shinichi's expression changed slightly, and then he said, "Kaitou Kidd, we need to talk."

"...Now is not a good time, Mr. Detective. Why don't we talk about it next time when I visit the house, and do what soul mates should do. What do you think?" Kaitou Kidd answered after a moment of silence. Dao, and at the end I didn’t forget to add a ridicule, deliberately saying it meaningfully.He was satisfied to see that Kudo Shinichi's face was stained with a thin layer of blush, and he sighed in his heart that he might really do this one day...Okay, stop, it's not the time to think about this.

Kudo felt his mouth dry for a while, and swallowed involuntarily.He took a deep breath to push the thoughts out of his mind, and said, "Yes, about soul mates. That's what I want to talk about—you don't want to interrupt me." De a threatening look, which roughly means "I will not do anything to you, but if you dare to run away, I will arrest you and hand you over to the country now."The Kaitou Kidd clicked his tongue secretly, thinking that the big detective is so cute, even if he really ran away, the big detective would have nothing to do with him... But who told him that he was such a good soul mate, he just listened reluctantly He wants to say something.

So he put on a look of all ears.

"Since we don't have much time, I'll go straight to the point," Kudo said. "What gem are you looking for? Why?"

Kaito Kidd blinked.

"...I like gems, can't I steal them for fun?"

"Come on. You and I both know it's not true." Kudo Shinichi rolled his eyes, "Does it have anything to do with the first generation of Phantom Thief Kidd?"

"Uh, I'm actually the first generation."

"...Be serious. We are talking about business." Kudo showed a helpless expression on his face, "Listen, Kaitou Kidd, I know you are not an international thief who commits all kinds of crimes, otherwise you wouldn't have saved me and those kids Now—I won't believe any nonsense you say, I know what you're hiding. You have a reason why you have to, otherwise you could steal the gems and not return them, instead of every-every The capital is returned to its original owner. I am asking you these things now, as a detective...a friend. And I want to help you, as a soul mate. At least give your soul mate a little trust."

Kaitou Kid did not expect this speech.

He felt that the whole world was shaking, and he stared at Kudo Shinichi in a daze, his mind was in a mess.

...should he tell him?

Involved Kudo Shinichi in this chaos?

Get his help...?

It is undeniable that it will really help him a lot.Behind Kudo Shinichi is the power of the Metropolitan Police Department, and there are various unrecognizable relationships, such as the mysterious trip to Hawaii Island, which can explain many problems...

But that's not why he dragged Shinichi Kudo into the mud.

Kuroba Kaito knows that he is not a saint, but as long as this person is Kudo Shinichi, he cannot do it.

This is selfishness.

The moonlight shone like water on Kudo Shinichi's body.Kaito Kuroba—Kaito Kaito just looked at him like this, as if he wanted to tell him all the madness, love at first sight, sinking, and struggle.

In the end, however, he just whispered, "...Sorry."

Kudo Shinichi looked at him quietly.The whole world was muted, and the noise and the crowd disappeared completely.

Kaitou Kidd doesn't know what Kudo Shinichi will do—as long as he has something to do with Kudo Shinichi, he can't see the direction clearly.It has always been like this.The feeling of not being in control made his heart beat like thunder, and he couldn't help but pursed his lips.

Kudo Shin smiled after a moment.

He looked at him fixedly and said, "I will find the answer, Kaitou Kidd. If you don't want to drag me into the vortex you are in, then I will find the quagmire you are in by myself. I am not a savior, But I will help you in any way I can. You belong to a better world - you deserve a better world."

……Wow.

This is really a very proud statement.

What is not a savior, but I want to do my best to help you...

Idiot?

Phantom Thief Kidd sighed secretly, and after a moment of silence, he still gave up on himself and spoke.

"Pandora," he said.

Kudo Shinichi raised his eyebrows.

"...this is the only clue I can give you, and the only one I have. I know I'll regret telling you this news. Maybe you will regret what you've heard now and what you'll want in the future. To find out the truth, but... ah, I can't stop you from doing such a stupid behavior, can I, Your Excellency Detective?"

Kudo Shinichi snorted lightly, and said firmly, "I won't regret it."

Kaitou Kidd looked at him.

After a moment, he lowered his eyes and took a deep breath.I've said it all, and it's too late to repent.Thinking of this, he tore off his cloak, and instantly put on Kaitou Kid's snow-white uniform.

There was an exclamation from the crowd.But Kaitou Kidd has no time to take care of these.

"Tonight's chatting is enough, then, I'm allowed to leave first. Good night, big detective." He changed back to the handsome Kaitou Kidd that everyone is familiar with, and saluted Kudo Shinichi in a personable manner , Before Kudo Shinichi could react, he took out his magic gun from his waist, aimed at the position of the pulley, and shot out a playing card.

The rope snapped, Kaitou Kidd deployed his hang glider just in time, and shouted at Terai: "Give me your hand!"

After that, the hang glider took the two of them across the net and flew into the deep night.

——Well, at least seeing that smile, the magic show this time was considered a success.

Kaitou Kidd was thinking in his heart, the cool night wind brushed by his ears, and the lights were brightly lit under his feet.

Kudo Shinichi stood on the roof, watching the Kaitou Kidd go away, his eyes were dim, and something sank inside.After a while, he bent the corners of his mouth and whispered in a voice that he could only hear: "Good night, Mr. Thief." After that, he turned around and took the moonlight and night away with him.

He knew he was getting himself into big trouble.Still...at least it's a good start.

Kudo thought happily.
