It was raining outside the window, and the atmosphere inside was not harmonious.
"Is it really Shinichi?"
Mao Lilan's eyes widened and she looked at "Kudo Shinichi" at the door in disbelief.
Conan, who was standing next to him, also looked at the "Kudo Shinichi" behind him in surprise. Although his expression and appearance were similar to Kudo Shinichi, he was definitely not Kudo Shinichi.
Because I am Kudo Shinichi!
Seeing the shiny hair gel on the head of this "Kudo Shinichi", Conan frowned and understood the truth.
This is Kaitou Kid pretending to be himself!
At this time, Kuroba Kaito was holding his "original leather" and said with a natural and arrogant expression: "Why are you asking me that?"
"I heard that you were involved in a case, so I came here to see you, but you still have such a cold attitude..."
"But..." Mao Lilan hesitated for a moment, then expressed his guess, "But aren't you Kaitou Kidd?"
Kuroba Kaito: Indeed...
"Ah?" Kuroba Kaito blew his nose and asked, "Why do you miss me so much?"
Mao Lilan quickly ran forward, looked at Kudo Shinichi's face carefully, and asked: "But your voice and your face look like Kaitou Kidd!"
"As far as I know, you don't have a twin brother, right?"
Kuroba Kaito was a little ashamed. He didn't expect that this young lady would misunderstand him and the famous high school detective so deeply.
"How is that possible? Hey!"
"Kid is good at disguises and voice changes. What you see are the illusions he puts on in order to shake the people around him. Those faces and voices are not real."
"Besides, I've been dealing with a big case with Interpol recently, and I can't get away from it at all. How could I be stealing things like Kaitou Kidd?"
In order to "repay the favor", Kuroba Kaito could only reveal his own tricks to resolve the misunderstanding.
"Really?"
Mao Lilan suddenly put her face close to Kuroba Kaito, looked at each other and asked soul torture.
"Of course it's true!"
Kuroba Kaito, who had a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead, quickly waved his hands and moved to the side.
Because if he didn't distance himself from Mao Lilan's body, the bespectacled kid next to him would kill him with his gaze.
After Mao Lilan stared at "Kudo Shinichi" in front of him for a few seconds, he also let down his guard.
"All right..."
Mao Lilan seemed to accept Kuroba Kaito's explanation. She leaned into Kuroba Kaito's ear with a blushing face and said, "But why did you even tell Conan about going to kindergarten?"
"Isn't that a secret between just the two of us?"
Kuroba Kaito made the same tone as Dali Brother: "Huh?"
But then, Kuroba Kaito reacted and said with a hearty smile: "Haha! This kid is pestering me and asking me to tell him some things about you, Xiaolan, when you were a child, so I will satisfy the kid's curiosity a little bit~
"
Conan on the side looked at Kaitou Kidd and secretly admired him in his heart: He is indeed a Kaitou, and his ability to adapt to changes is really strong.
"Really..."
Xiaolan glanced at Conan behind her resentfully, then turned around and noticed "Kudo Shinichi's" shoulders that were wet by the rain.
"Wait a minute, I'll go upstairs and get you a towel."
After saying that, Mao Lilan ran upstairs in three steps and two steps at a time.
And Kuroba Kaito breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that it was time to retire.
call out--
Kuroba Kaito whistled softly, and the pigeon on the desk seemed to hear the call and flew to Kuroba Kaito's shoulder.
Kuroba Kaito walked down the stairs, followed by Conan.
"This time...thanks to you, the misunderstanding has been resolved..."
Conan was still a little uncomfortable saying thank you to a phantom thief.
"Nothing..." Kuroba Kaito smiled slightly and called out another pigeon in his hand, "You also saved me in the castle, and this pigeon is my return gift to you."
"So are we even?" Conan asked.
"Yes, it's even."
Kuroba Kaito and Conan were having a conversation several meters apart, and at this time, a Ford UN46 happened to pass by on the street.
The driver's seat in the car was none other than Matsumoto Ryohei, and the passenger seat was Qin Zhibo, who had returned from completely recording his confession.
In the Metropolitan Police Department, Qin Zhibo originally wanted to leave with the child, but Officer Mu Mu insisted on clarifying some situations, so Qin Zhibo could only stay a little longer.
After investigation, the police initially determined that the bald man seen by the hook-nosed deacon was a thief who had sneaked into the castle.
The thief was carrying out the theft, but was blocked by people who came to the castle to hunt for treasures, so he finally jumped over the wall, attacked Kasaka Natsumi and escaped.
Pu Siqinglan's identity is none other than the famous international criminal Shi Kaobing, and the murderer behind the entire case is Shi Kaobing.
As for the use of sickles and pistols, they were actually Shi Kaobing's dual tactics to evade Interpol's tracking.
Moreover, the burnt Walter PPKS was found in the ruins of the castle, which shows that Pu Si Qinglan abandoned the pistol in the castle during the process of igniting it, and wanted to directly dispose of this black gun that had killed people.
The only doubt is that since Kasaka Natsumi has escaped from danger, why hasn't she shown up yet?
However, Kasaka Natsumi is not a criminal. The police cannot issue a wanted warrant for an innocent person. They can only search the mountains around the castle and issue a missing person notice.
If nothing is found, it seems that the only option is to give up.
On the surface, this case seems to be developing in an extremely mediocre direction.
But in fact, this was all thanks to Qin Zhibo throwing the Walther pistol that Kasaka Natsumi abandoned at the exit of another tunnel into the burning castle.
If this is not done, the police will definitely appear in another place where the pistol should not be, and determine that the shooter is someone else.
As for why he did this, it was mainly because Qin Zhibo did not want to be suspected by the police.
Because during the time they were trapped underground, except for myself, Natsumi, and the butler boy, everyone else was acting together.
If the police seriously investigate what happened at the other tunnel exit, they will inevitably be suspected and will be trapped in a dilemma of choosing one of three.
Back to the present, Qin Zhibo was looking out the car window at the rainy street scene in boredom, when he suddenly saw a pair of familiar figures across the street.
Judging from the names on the heads of these two people, one is Conan and the other is Kuroba Kaito.
Among them, Kuroba Kaito is standing in the front, and Conan is standing in the back. The two seem to be having a conversation about affectionate confession. Even their positions are like the male and female protagonists who are about to part ways in a youth idol drama.
Although he didn't know what the two people were talking about, he had something to ask Kuroba Kaito.
Isn't this a coincidence? It saves us all the trouble.
"Stop the car and I'll get off here."
Matsumoto Ryohei hesitated for a moment, but without asking any further questions, he twisted the steering wheel and parked the car on the side of the road.
Qin Zhibo hurriedly got out of the car and happened to see Kuroba Kaito performing the "Pigeon Disappearance Technique".
I saw Kuroba Kaito releasing dozens of pigeons standing on him into the sky at one go. The flying pigeons attracted the attention of Conan and Maorilan.
And he himself, with his waist crouched, like a wretched thief, sneaked into a blue car parked at the end of the alley in the dark.
Although Kuroba Kaito's movements were quick enough, with the name floating above his head, Qin Zhibo was able to accurately locate his movements, and there was no "invisibility" situation.
Before the car started, Qin Zhibo stepped forward quickly and knocked on the car glass.
