Chapter 228 Kaito Kidd (Two Chapters in One)

Nakano-ku, Tokyo.

A handsome high school boy with slightly messy short black hair stood at the door of a Japanese-Italian family restaurant called "Salia" and took out his mobile phone.

The built-in sensor of the mobile phone senses changes in the position and direction of the mobile phone, and the screen is automatically lit.

The words [March 24] and [18:52] were displayed on the mobile phone screen.

The high school student stuffed his cell phone back into his pocket, then opened the restaurant door and walked in.

As the doorbell rang, a uniformed clerk hurriedly ran towards the high school student.

The high school student gently waved his hand towards the clerk, then pointed to a large table in the restaurant that was already full of people, and then walked over.

The people sitting in front of the big table were all students about the same age as him.

At this time, the food in front of these high school students has basically been wiped out.

They were drinking free-flowing drinks and chatting away.

"Kaito, so slow~!!"

As soon as the high school student approached, a very cute girl sitting in the seat immediately spotted him.

The girl puffed her cheeks towards the boy she called "Kaito", a very dissatisfied expression appeared on her innocent and sweet cheeks.

The high school boy's name is "Kuroba Kaito". He and the girl Nakamori Aoko, who is looking at him now with an expression like an inflatable blowfish, are friends who grew up together.

Referred to as childhood sweethearts.

The high school students at the table also looked at Kuroba Kaito after hearing Aoko Nakamori's voice.

"It's so slow, Kaito~"

A high school boy imitated Nakamori Aoko's tone and heckled Kuroba Kaito.

When Nakamori Aoko heard his cheers, a slight blush appeared on her cheeks, and she looked away in embarrassment.

When Kuroba Kaito passed by the boy who was making fun of him,

He stretched out his thumb and index finger, made a pistol gesture and pointed it at the boy, and then pretended to fire a gun, making a "bang" sound from his mouth.

Suddenly, a bunch of fireworks paper flew out of Kuroba Kaito's hand and sprayed the boy in the face.

"Bah! Bah! Bah! Black Feather, you got it in my mouth!"

The boy lowered his head and vomited for a long time before spitting out the paper in his mouth.

He then reached out and patted the pieces of paper off his clothes, pants and hair, and then looked at Kuroba Kaito unhappily.

"Those who like to imitate what others say will end up like this."

Kuroba Kaito said leisurely, and then sat next to Nakamori Aoko.

Today is a small group gathering for Class B, Grade 2, Ekoda High School where Kaito Kuroba and Aoko Nakamori belong.

There was only one week left before school started, so everyone made an appointment to have dinner near Nakano Station, not far from Ekoda High School.

Salia is affordable and offers unlimited drinks for only 180 yen, so it naturally became a good place for this group of high school students to gather for dinner.

"What are you talking about?"

Kuroba Kaito looked at the students around him who had already eaten and drank enough, and asked casually.

"We're talking about Kaitou Kidd!"

The boy who was shot all over his face by Kuroba Kaito just now said excitedly.

"Kuroyu, you don't know yet?"

"Just now, at the press conference of the Showa Accessories Exhibition held at the Tokyo Big Sight over the weekend, Mr. Tsukino Takashi of the Tsukino Foundation dropped a bombshell, but it turned out that a warning letter from Kaitou Kidd had been inserted into his body. !”

"This exhibition has been prepared for a long time, but the organizers have been trying to drum up excitement and have not announced their finale exhibits."

"They delayed the announcement until three days before the official start of the exhibition, but they didn't expect that Kaitou Kidd would have known the contents of their blockbuster exhibit and released a notice in advance!"

"Kaitou Kid is so handsome! Now the Tsukino Consortium has become a clown!"

The boy said with a smile.

Another boy who heard what he said quickly stepped on him under the table.

The boy suddenly came to his senses and quickly closed his mouth.

The reason that made the boy shut up quickly was not because he realized that his behavior of laughing at the Tsukino Foundation in public was very bad.

But because, here, there is a person who hates Kaitou Kidd extremely.

That person is Nakamori Aoko.

Nakamori Aoko's father, Nakamori Ginzo, is a police officer in the Investigation Section 2 of the Metropolitan Police Department.

The Second Investigation Section of the Metropolitan Police Department is different from the First Investigation Section, which specializes in investigating homicide cases.

The second search section is mainly responsible for economic crimes.

Although general theft cases fall under the jurisdiction of the Search Section 3, since the targets that Phantom Thief Kidd targets each time are often valuable,

Therefore, it was classified as a high-level property crime and was handled by the Second Search Section.

However, Ginzan Nakamori, who has excellent abilities, is a bit lacking when facing Kaitou Kidd.

He was tricked by Kaitou Kidd many times, but he was never able to catch him.

Even after fighting so many times, they didn't even know each other's name, appearance, age or even gender.

Therefore, whenever a case involving Kaitou Kidd occurs, Ginzo Nakamori's ability will always be questioned.

Because of this, Nakamori Aoko hates others praising Kaitou Kidd in front of her.

"Damn thief Kidd! Dad will definitely catch him this time!"

Nakamori Aoko said angrily.

No need to think too much.

After the news of Kaito Kid's release of the notice spread, her father might have a headache again.

"Yes, Kaito Kid is really hateful."

"Every time he only cares about being handsome, but he makes the police run around."

"Isn't that right, Kuroba-kun?"

At this time, another female voice sounded.

This voice came from a girl with long crimson hair, who was much more mature than Nakamori Aoko in both figure and dress.

The girl's name was Koizumi Akiko, and she was a witch.

Kuroba Kaito looked in the direction of the voice and saw Koizumi Akiko holding her chin with one hand, and her slightly charming red eyes were staring at him with amusement.

Unlike other classmates who didn't know the true identity of Kaito Kid, Koizumi Akiko was one of the few people who knew that Kuroba Kaito was Kaito Kid.

Kuroba Kaito: "."

Kuroba Kaito felt speechless in his heart. He was already accustomed to Koizumi Akiko's behavior.

But facing Nakamori Aoko, he could only follow what Koizumi Akiko said.

"Yes, I also think that uncle will be able to catch Kaito Kid sooner or later."

Kuroba Kaito echoed.

"It's not 'sooner or later', it's 'this time'!"

"Oh, yes, this time."

Kuroba Kaito, who was corrected by Nakamori Aoko, quickly changed his words.

After he changed his words, he also heard a chuckle coming from the direction of Koizumi Akiko not far away.

Kuroba Kaito ignored Koizumi Akiko who was laughing and stood up.

"Let's go, you guys have finished eating too?"

"Didn't you say we were going to karaoke? If it's later, high school students will not be allowed to enter."

The classmates around him took out their wallets and began to calculate their meal expenses.

Kuroba Kaito, who did not order food, took the lead in leaving the restaurant and stood on the stairs, looking at the bustling Nakano Station.

At this time, the sound of the door opening sounded from behind.

Koizumi Hongzi walked to Kuroba Kaito, who was leaning on the stair railing with his arms, and whispered:

"It takes about 45 minutes to get from Tokyo Big Sight to Nakano Station."

"The press conference starts at 6pm, and Kuroba-kun, you arrived at the restaurant at around 6:50pm."

"This coincidence is really intriguing."

Koizumi Hongzi teased beside Kuroba Kaito.

"However, I am a little curious. The gems have just been announced. How did you know about the Tsukino Foundation's exhibits in advance and send out a notice?"

"Hongzi, aren't you a witch? If you want to know, can't you just do a divination yourself?"

"It's too boring to rely on divination for everything. I want to hear you in person."

Koizumi Hongzi said to Kuroba Kaito.

However.

Kuroba Kaito was not interested in explaining to Koizumi Hongzi.

Since Nakamori Aoko would feel inferior after seeing Koizumi Akiko, Kuroba Kaito did not want to stay alone with Koizumi Akiko, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings with Nakamori Aoko again.

Kuroba Kaito once again ignored Koizumi Akiko, turned around and opened the door, ready to return to his classmates.

At this time, he heard Koizumi Akiko's low voice again:

"The seeker who went back in time and had fought with you many times, and the winner was hard to tell, will come again and become a dark obstacle on your way forward."

Kuroba Kaito's footsteps suddenly stopped, and then turned back to look at Koizumi Akiko.

He stared at Koizumi Akiko's charming red eyes, and did not see any jokes in her eyes.

Kuroba Kaito understood that this was Koizumi Akiko's "prophecy".

Koizumi Akiko is a witch of the witchcraft family and the heir of the red magic.

She has the ability of "divination".

Koizumi Akane's "divination" is not the kind of trick that can be seen everywhere on the street, relying on cold reading and the high probability of applying words to everyone to cheat money.

It is a real, accurate divination that can get the results she wants.

Therefore, Koizumi Akane often uses the results of her divination as a prophecy to give herself hints.

And so far, Koizumi Akane's predictions have never been wrong.

'The seeker who went back in time and had fought with me many times, and the victory and defeat were hard to tell'

Kuroba Kaito did not doubt the accuracy of Koizumi Akane's prediction.

He repeated Koizumi Akane's words in his heart, and a figure wearing a red bow and big round-framed glasses appeared in his mind.

Just thinking about Conan's appearance, Kuroba Kaito's mouth corners unconsciously raised an arc.

'Interesting, I wonder if you can successfully stop me this time, detective. ’

Just when Kuroba Kaito smiled because he knew he was about to fight Conan again, he heard Koizumi Hongzi continue to say:

“However, the threads of fate have quietly intertwined, and this time the victory will belong to you.”

The smile on Kuroba Kaito’s face disappeared almost instantly after hearing Koizumi Hongzi’s second sentence.

The desire to win and the sense of expectation that had been rising in his heart were instantly extinguished as if they were poured with cold water.

“Hongzi, are you kidding me?”

Kuroba Kaito looked at Koizumi Hongzi speechlessly.

I felt like I had finally soaked the noodles, but when I was filtering the water, I accidentally poured the noodles into the pool.

"Sorry, my predictions are never wrong."

"How is it, Kuroba-kun? Do you feel like you've been spoiled?"

"Oh hahahahahaha."

Koizumi Akiko covered her mouth with her hand and laughed sharply and devilishly.

It felt like the villain witch in the cartoon succeeding in her evil plan.

Kuroba Kaito's eyes twitched slightly, and then he turned around without hesitation, opened the door and returned to the restaurant.

When the door of the restaurant closed again, Koizumi Akiko was the only one left at the stairs of the family restaurant.

Her laughter gradually stopped.

Her expression of a villain who had succeeded was restrained again, and her beautiful cheeks looked very cold under the light.

Koizumi Akiko opened her red lips slightly and completed the last part of the prophecy:

"But the power in it may not only come from your control."

——

The next morning.

Akikawa Sosuke still arrived at Tokyo International Exhibition Hall early.

After waiting for about ten minutes, other guests who participated in the rehearsal yesterday also came here one after another.

‘It seems that what happened at the press conference yesterday affected not only the Tsukino Group and the police. ’

Akikawa Sosuke thought in his heart, and then he saw Seto Rin, Nakamura Haruna and Matsumoto Kenichi gathered together to discuss the press conference last night.

He did not participate in the discussion, but sat there quietly flipping through the album.

However, Akikawa Sosuke's attention has always been on the content of the discussion of several people.

And the content of their discussion is naturally the Kaito Kid who sent a notice letter to Tsukino Takashi yesterday.

Even Akikawa Sosuke has heard of Kaito Kid.

He does not know much about Kaito Kid.

But after Akikawa Sosuke searched for "Kaito Kid" on the Internet last night, he knew that Kaito Kid has a very large fan base in Japan.

And the reason why he can be crazy about so many fans.

In addition to his extremely handsome appearance,

more importantly, he would return the stolen items to the original owner afterward, or hand them over to the police, or give them to those in need according to the situation.

And these fans of Kaito Kid, like crazy fans chasing stars, have almost compiled all the abilities displayed by Kaito Kid.

After browsing some introductions to Kaito Kid and watching several videos circulating on the Internet of Kaito Kid's crimes,

Akikawa Sosuke also roughly understood Kaito Kid's situation.

‘He is elusive, can disguise himself, can imitate other people's voices, can fly, has a super memory, is versatile in sports, is proficient in unlocking, and has a super IQ.’

‘Why does it feel like, like the elementary school student of the God of Death, he is also a child of the plane? ’

Akikawa Sosuke couldn't help thinking in his heart.
