After checking his breathing, pulse, and heartbeat repeatedly, Kaito Kuroba had no choice but to accept the reality!

Hamano Toshiya is already a corpse!

Seeing his unpredictable expression, Arayoshi and the others panicked.

They had all accepted the fact that Hamano Toshiya was dead.

After all, no one would be bored enough to lie down and sleep in the mud after it has just rained.

What they feared at that moment was that the murderer in front of them might suddenly attack and hurt people again!

"If I said I wasn't the murderer, would you believe me?"

Kaito Kuroba's tone sounded slightly tired as he tried to explain.

"As you all saw, there are no other traces here besides the footprints I just left!"

"With my physique, how could I possibly kill Mr. Hamano without leaving a trace and then move his body here?"

"You agree, right?!"

Pointing to the muddy puddles around him, and then to his own obese body used for disguise, he forced a smile, trying to lower the guard of the others.

"So, this is an impossible crime?!"

Araki seemed to be persuaded, and murmured in shock.

"But why Mr. Hamano?"

Naoko Kuroda shrank back in fear, but her gaze remained fixed on Takaki Doi.

Clearly, she did not believe this explanation.

The others remained silent, still somewhat skeptical, while pondering how the other party had committed the crime.

Only in this way can we confirm that the other party is the murderer.

Otherwise, even if the police come, they won't be able to arrest anyone!

"Yes, if someone could fly, maybe they could do it."

At this time, Luo Tian felt it was necessary to offer them a little help.

Hearing the boy's innocent voice, Ara Yoshino and the others' eyes lit up instantly.

Yeah! As long as it can fly, that's enough!

Just like Kaito Kid!

At this moment, the scene before dinner resurfaced in everyone's minds.

If we equate Doi Takuki with Kaito Kid, all these doubts will be resolved!

They said they wouldn't associate with such people, but they still had to admit the thief's magical skills.

"you!"

Kaito Kuroba's eyes widened like saucers as he stared at Luo Tian, ​​who looked completely innocent, his face filled with disbelief.

His heart suddenly raced, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

However, it was not noticeable because it was covered by a disguise mask.

"You guys don't think I'm Phantom Thief Kid again, do you? I already explained it before! That little boy checked my face too!"

He stammered his explanation, his voice already tinged with fear.

He felt like he had fallen into a pit!

Things were gradually developing in a direction beyond his control.

"Kids will make mistakes, how about this, let us check it again!"

Araki Yoshino and the others mustered their courage and took a step forward, while making a seemingly reasonable suggestion.

If we just confirm whether the other person is actually Kaito Kid in disguise, we can clear them of suspicion!

"Check, inspect..."

Kaito Kuroba inwardly groaned, caught in a dilemma.

If you don't accept the inspection, it's tantamount to admitting that you are Kaito Kid!

In this way, all the blame at the scene will be placed on him!

But if he were to undergo an inspection, his identity as Phantom Thief Kid would still be exposed!

Not only that, but even Kaito Kuroba's true identity might be discovered by his childhood friend!

"This is really... a huge problem..."

With a pained expression, Kaito Kuroba felt a sense of despair.

He's just a petty thief who likes to steal, why is he always being falsely accused?!

The same thing happened with the cruise ship bomb last time, and the same thing happened with the murder charges this time!

Could this Luo Tian be my nemesis?

Nothing good ever comes from running into this guy!

Seeing the increasingly wary expressions on everyone's faces, and glancing at the seemingly unaffected little boy, Kaito Kuroba gritted his teeth and threw out the smoke bomb in his hand.

Boom—a thick cloud of smoke instantly enveloped the open space.

When the smoke cleared and everyone's vision returned, Doi Takaki's chubby figure had disappeared.

Instead, it was Kaito Kid in a white suit!

"Alright, you win. I am indeed Phantom Thief Kid."

Ignoring the strange looks from Araki Yoshinori and the others, Kuroba Kaito stared intently at Luo Tian not far away and said, word by word.

"But I swear, I, Phantom Thief Kid, have not killed anyone!"

"Huh? It's no use telling me. You should explain it to the police officer, right?"

Seeing the choice this guy made, Luo Tian's lips curled up slightly, and he pretended to be puzzled.

"..."

Kaito Kuroba fell silent.

Go tell the police?!

Even if he is eventually cleared of the murder charge, given his illustrious resume, he will probably spend the rest of his life in jail!

A soft click came from behind him, causing him to turn around reflexively.

However, the scene that came into view made him frantically wave his cloak to cover his face.

"Don't be so shy, smile! Don't you enjoy being the center of attention?"

Sonoko held up her phone like a professional photographer, constantly adjusting her pose while making sarcastic remarks.

"hateful!"

After a brief moment of panic, Kaito Kuroba finally realized that he had been taking pictures without permission.

And this happened at a crime scene, with so many eyewitnesses!

"Don't get agitated. I just asked Sonoko-neechan to record the scene so that we can have an explanation when the police arrive."

Luo Tian walked to the garden, looked at the photos and videos on his phone, and showed a satisfied expression.

He looked up at Kaito Kuroba, whose face was gloomy, and said with a smile.

"By the way, you're not thinking of running away from your crimes, are you, Phantom Thief Kid!"

At his prompting, Arayoshi and the others quietly took out their phones and started taking pictures of the scene.

The very center of the shot is undoubtedly reserved for Kaito Kid!

Facing the flashes of cameras and the clicking of shutters, Kaito Kuroba's mood grew increasingly heavy.

He clenched his fists tightly, trying his best to maintain the composure expected of a magician.

We must not lose our composure! We must find a way to get out of this predicament!

Suddenly! A decoration he had seen in the living room flashed into his mind, and a plan instantly came together.

Kaito Kuroba deliberately aimed his phone at Yoshinori Ara while taking pictures of himself, and shouted loudly as he started up his hang glider.

"Who said I'm Kaito Kid? I am Lupin III, and I never change my name or surname!"

After saying that, he accelerated and jumped off the cliff, then, propelled by the uphill wind, soared straight to the sky.

Under the bright moonlight, it looked rather pretentious.

Can Luo Tian tolerate this?!

Before the other person left his sight, a barely perceptible glint flashed between his fingers.

Almost at the same moment, the light appeared on Kaito Kuroba's stomach.

[Pregnancy Trial Card] successfully used!

……

Not long after Phantom Thief Kid left, two more groups of people arrived at the villa.

"What?! Such a thing actually happened?!"

Nakamori Ginzo stared at the corpses on the open ground and the videos on everyone's phones (cieg), his expression quite interesting.

He never imagined that his old rival would stoop to such a low level!

First, they planted bombs on the cruise ship, then they ran naked!

Now he's disguised himself and infiltrated a party, where he's killed someone!

With witnesses and physical evidence, it's hard for him not to believe it!

"However, when that Phantom Thief Kid left, he claimed to be Lupin III, didn't he?"

"How could that be! A notorious international thief like Lupin III would rarely appear in Japan!"

"Exactly! Especially at a gathering of ordinary people like us!"

"Alright! I understand!"

Interrupting Arayoshi and the others' discussion, Nakamori Ginzo decided to report the case to his superiors first.

Perhaps the police's attitude towards Phantom Thief Kid will change again because of this!

Of course, this murder case was not under his jurisdiction as an inspector in the Second Investigation Division.

He only arrived with his men after receiving a call from his daughter informing him that Phantom Thief Kid was there.

I was too late and missed it!

On the other side, Miwako also rushed over after receiving a call from her boyfriend.

"Honey, are you okay?"

There's not much to investigate in this case; it's basically attributed to Kaito Kid.

Miwako picked up the little boy and whispered in his ear with concern.

"What could possibly happen to me? Don't worry!"

Luo Tian patted the policewoman's pet bear, then took out his phone.

"I took pictures of Doi Takaki's actions tonight here. They should be helpful in solving the case, right?"

He claimed to have taken the photos, but in reality, he transmitted footage monitored by the "Hive" detection robot to his phone.

At the same time, he did not name the other party as Kaito Kid.

Based on Kaito Kuroba's shout before leaving, he could somewhat guess the other party's plan.

"It will definitely help! Honey, you're so sweet!"

Miwako kissed her boyfriend on the cheek and smiled sweetly.

"I'm going back to the Joint Investigation Division 2 right away to issue a warrant for Phantom Thief Kid!"

"Wait! Don't do that yet!"
