Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1370 Phantom Thief Kid: Here we go again?

Kazami Yuya—no, Kaito Kid—looked at the three of them with surprise and an expression of great interest.

After spending a lot of time with the detectives like Yuya, Kid has figured out their personalities.

Without absolute certainty, one would not speak lightly, let alone reach such a conclusion.

Amuro Tooru pinched his chin, half of his face hidden under the brim of his hat: "This scam used a double-flipping approach, didn't it? You made everyone think that the display case lid had been opened, but the real display case was actually hidden underneath."

"First, you spray white paint on the exhibition room to make the display cases white. Then, when the room is filled with smoke and you can't see anything, you put the fake display cases you prepared in advance on top of the real display cases. Then you spray paint on them again, so that you can't see the gaps between the cases and they overlap perfectly."

"So when Conan opened the display case, there was nothing inside, because it was a fake display case."

At this point, Amuro Tooru chuckled lightly, as if mocking himself for being fooled by such a simple trap.

He looked up at Kaito Kid: "Am I right, Mr. Kaito Kid?"

Kaito Kid chuckled, raised his hand to tear off his disguise, and in a cloud of smoke, the pure white Moon Magician made a dazzling appearance.

A curious smile played on his lips: "How did you find out?"

Yu also said, "Because of the benches in this exhibition room, one of the benches has a leg in the middle that is thicker than the two on the sides. At first, I thought it was a unique idea of ​​the designer, but after comparing the photos before and after you made the changes, I found that the middle leg has become the same as the two on the sides."

"Uncle Jirokichi said that the benches in the exhibition room were all fixed to the ground. The reason for this change is that no one but you could have done it."

"I think you must have tampered with that square-shaped box."

Kaito Kid responded with an "Oh," and then asked, "So how did you discover that I was impersonating this Public Security officer named Kazami?"

Yuya smiled faintly: "The most direct evidence is the paint on your hands."

"Hmm?" Phantom Thief Kid looked at his hands in confusion, but since he was wearing gloves, he couldn't see the paint.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Yuya kindly explained, "The paint on your hands, from your little finger and ring finger all the way to the bottom of your palm, is because when you were putting the fake display cases on the white-painted display cases, you had to use your hands to hold them so that they were perfectly aligned, right?"

Kaito Kid suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I didn't expect to leave such a big flaw."

“No, no, no,” Yuya wagged his finger, “Actually, from the very beginning, when Conan and I questioned the three of you who weren’t wearing gas masks, we knew you were Kaito Kid.”

Kaito Kid was stunned: "How is that possible?"

Yuya smiled faintly: "The new dish launched by Polo Cafe is creamy bacon pasta, which also has another name: charcoal-grilled pasta. When Mr. Amuro and Ms. Azusa mentioned the name of the new dish, I knew it was them."

“As for you,” Yuya looked Kaito Kid up and down. To be honest, that pure white suit was really flashy. No wonder Kid liked this outfit so much.

"Didn't you know that the place Officer Kazami went to today was an idol carnival? Fans also call the carnival 'the event'?"

Kaito Kid smiled helplessly and said, "So, it would have been better if I had answered that the scene was very lively."

At that moment, Ginzo Nakamori and his team of mobile suit members surrounded them, shouting, "Kaito Kid, surrender!"

The group cautiously approached Kidd, to prevent him from suddenly throwing out smoke bombs or something similar.

Phantom Thief Kid chuckled lightly: "Well, I don't think so."

Suddenly, he raised his hand and fired a shot at Nakamori Ginzo, a playing card whistling past his cheek.

Nakamori Ginzo was startled, noticing that there was a string attached to the playing cards.

Kaito Kid grinned wickedly, placed his hand on the display case, and then slowly lifted the lid of the real display case.

"Idiot, you idiot, stop!" Nakamori Ginzo's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

He has already ordered the ceiling to be opened. If it is opened now, the ceiling will immediately fall down and crush the people here into mincemeat!

Upon seeing this, Yuya and the other two retreated to the wall without hesitation.

Seeing that the display case had already been opened, Nakamori Ginzo roared, "Get back!" and turned to run.

"Boom!" The ceiling descended rapidly.

Kaito Kid snatched the crown with a swift motion, wedged it into his top hat, then jumped up and simultaneously holstered his gun, before being pulled by the rope and flying towards the door.

As he passed by Nakamori Ginzo, he didn't forget to turn back and say goodbye: "Bye-bye!"

"Damn Kid!" Nakamori Ginzo was furious, but he had no time to worry about Kid right now; he needed to get out of the area covered by the ceiling first.

With a loud "BOOM!", the ceiling slammed heavily onto the ground.

Nakamori Ginzo and the others were almost crushed.

Kaito Kid looked at Nakamori Ginzo and the others lying on the ground, smiled smugly, raised his hand and fired another shot, using the same trick to bypass the mobile unit guarding outside.

"Too easy!" Phantom Thief Kid laughed heartily.

Suddenly, he felt a chill down his back and instinctively dodged to the side.

Whoosh! A soccer ball narrowly missed his shoulder.

Kaito Kid was startled; he immediately guessed that it was Conan who had kicked the ball.

He had personally experienced the power of Conan's kick; if he hadn't dodged it, he would definitely be lying on the ground right now.

"Stop right there, Phantom Thief Kid!" Conan chased after him desperately, his short legs carrying him.

Kaito Kid adjusted his hat and gave Conan a wicked smile: "Yo, just as the preview said, I'm taking the princess's bangs with me!"

"I thought it would take more effort this time since the police were involved, but I'm really disappointed!"

Kaito Kid fired a shot into the air, and the playing cards, along with the rope, flew up to the top of the spiral stairwell and got tangled in a railing.

"Goodbye, famous detective!"

Kaito Kid pressed the mechanism on the playing card gun, and his entire body soared into the air, leaving Conan and the Mobile Suit Gunners below, jumping up and down in anger.

Seeing Kaito Kid leave through the stairwell, Conan suddenly revealed a fox-like smile.

On the top of the clock tower, a cool breeze made Phantom Thief Kid's cape flutter.

He adjusted his hat, looked at the moon in the sky, and chuckled: "Alright, now let's spread our wings and say goodbye to this place, just like always."

Just as Kidd was about to open his hang glider, a strong hand suddenly reached out from behind him and gripped his wrist tightly.

Kaito Kid was taken aback. He turned around and saw a bodyguard wearing sunglasses and with an incredibly muscular build.

Kaito Kid felt this bodyguard looked very familiar, as if he had seen him several times before... Wait a minute?!

"Lord Kid!" Sonoko Suzuki suddenly jumped out from behind the bodyguards, and then several searchlights lit up below the clock tower, illuminating the area as if it were daytime.

"You, you, what are you doing here?!" Phantom Thief Kid's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. How could this woman be here? No, how could she possibly be here?

However, what surprised him even more was that another person came out with Sonoko Suzuki, Azusa Enomoto.

Enomoto Azusa stared at Kaito Kid with shining eyes, muttering to herself, "I really saw Kaito Kid up close! Yu is amazing!"

Unfortunately, her face was obscured by the top hat and monocle, but she didn't mind.

Since Phantom Thief Kid can change into anyone's appearance at any time, his appearance is not important at all. Who knows whose face it is at this moment?

As long as that iconic white outfit represents Kidd himself, that's enough.

Upon hearing the name Enomoto Azusa mentioned, Kaito Kid's face darkened—it's that detective again, damn it! How come he always manages to catch me on my escape route?

Does this person have mind-reading abilities?

Sonoko Suzuki cupped her cheeks in her hands, looking expectantly at Kaito Kid: "Kid-sama..."

Kaito Kid looked at the iron clamps binding his hands and sighed helplessly. He knew that if he didn't satisfy Sonoko Suzuki today, he wouldn't be able to leave easily.

"A group photo, right? Okay, hurry up, I'm in a rush."

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and he's already gotten used to it.

"Yes, Lord Kid!" Sonoko Suzuki jumped up happily and shoved the camera into Azusa Enomoto's hands. "Azusa-san, thank you for your help!"

"Huh? Oh!" Enomoto Azusa was still a little dazed, but she still carefully took the photos for Suzuki Sonoko.

"Quick, it's your turn!" After Sonoko Suzuki finished taking her picture, Azusa Enomoto pushed her next to Kaito Kid.

"I, I..." Enomoto Azusa was a little nervous.

Kaito Kid casually draped an arm over her shoulder, striking a pose as if posing for a photo with a fan.

Enomoto Azusa's face flushed with excitement. She never expected to get a photo with her idol on her first time meeting him in person. She was determined to use it as her phone wallpaper!

"Click!" The flash went off, and at the same time, a strange thought suddenly flashed through Enomoto Azusa's mind—

How come he's so skilled at taking group photos?

Does Kaito Kid usually take photos with fans?
