Chapter 279: Unexpected Person (12)

Ten minutes ago.

After Kuroba Kaito heard the announcement in the venue that the gem was fake, he couldn't remain calm at all.

This was the information he wanted to reveal to Conan and others before he was sniped.

Kuroba Kaito thinks,

Even if someone could have guessed that the gem was a fake, it would have been the two detectives Conan or Sera Masumi who were the first to notice the clue.

And according to the character of the detectives, even if they knew about it, they would only handle the case privately.

It is absolutely impossible to choose to expose it to everyone directly on the radio.

‘The two detectives also seemed quite surprised by this broadcast. It seems that it has nothing to do with them. ’

‘It’s impossible for Tsukino Takashi to expose himself on his own. ’

‘Then, who has been in the control room since before...? ’

Kuroba Kaito thought for a moment and suddenly realized something.

If other people don't know the identity of the person who just made the broadcast, they will definitely think that they have exposed the gem.

Kuroba Kaito didn't know what the person in the broadcast room was going to do, but he would definitely be blamed for all the consequences caused by the other person.

After understanding this, Kuroba Kaito bypassed the tourists and walked directly towards the control room.

He had already figured out the surveillance video inside the venue, and he had already been to the surveillance room when setting up the loudspeaker in the broadcast room.

Kuroba Kaito soon arrived at the monitoring room.

The door to the monitoring room is closed.

Kuroba Kaito briefly decided between secretly unlocking the door and directly knocking on the door, and then chose the latter.

He knocked on the door of the monitoring room, and then heard a slightly familiar male voice coming from inside:

"Please come in"

Kuroba Kaito was a little surprised when he heard this.

The other party didn't even ask who he was, but let him in.

Moreover, since the other party said "please come in", it means that the door of the monitoring room is unlocked.

Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but marvel at the opponent's boldness.

He turned the door handle, and the surveillance door was immediately opened by him.

‘Why is it him? ! ’

Then Kuroba Kaito saw an unexpected person appear in the monitoring room.

It was the artist Akikawa Kousuke who came to the Tokyo International Showcase just a few days ago.

After getting along with each other for a few days, Kuroba Kaito felt that Akikawa Kyusuke was just a pretty face artist with neither experience nor knowledge reserves.

Therefore, when he saw Akikawa Kongsuke staying in the monitoring room at this moment, he felt extremely surprised in his heart.

Kuroba Kaito closed the door of the monitoring room, and at the same time, he felt countless confusions in his heart.

However, he discovered that Kyusuke Akikawa, who was sitting in front of the computer, was still staring at the computer screen and never glanced towards him.

"As expected, the Heart of Scarlet Shadow is with Tsukino Takashi now. You can just go to his personal lounge to find him."

After Kuroba Kaito slightly suppressed the surprise in his heart, he was once again shocked by what Akikawa Kyusuke said.

Does Akikawa Kyousuke know that he is Kaitou Kidd without even looking at him?

'He figured out who I was? Obviously I'm still in disguise. ’

Kuroba Kaito was a little overwhelmed by Akikawa Kyusuke's direct statement.

He always felt as if the other party had known that he would be here at this moment, and also knew the situation of Tsukino Takashi well.

"Mr. Akikawa, what are you talking about?"

"And why are you here? You're not a staff member here, are you?"

Kuroba Kaito pretended to be unaware and asked.

"When I heard you say on the radio, 'Kid is trying to steal Scarlet Shadow's Heart,' I knew there was no one in the radio room."

"So I came over."

Akikawa Kyusuke was still staring at the surveillance video and did not move his gaze to look at Kuroba Kaito.

"When did you find out?"

When Kuroba Kaito heard Akikawa Kyousuke say this, he also realized that the other party had already known his identity.

So he stopped pretending and asked directly.

"Maybe during lunch."

"There are many tourists who came to the site today. Even Mr. Amuro and I, who usually choose to eat out, chose to eat in the lounge, but you, who usually eat lunch in the lounge, went out to eat."

"Originally, this was not a problem, but as soon as the lunch break was over, the staff discovered that the Yuehua necklace was stolen. So what exactly you did when you went out at noon is a bit intriguing."

"Do you think so, Mr. Matsumoto?"

Akikawa Kyousuke said, and finally turned his head towards Kuroba Kaito.

And standing in front of him was the old professor Matsumoto Kenichi who was also invited as the main guest in this exhibition.

This was the identity Kuroba Kaito disguised himself from the very beginning when he sneaked into the Tokyo International Exhibition Center.

"Your usual words and deeds all reveal your disgust and rejection of Kaitou Kidd. Most people probably won't equate you with Kaitou Kidd when they see you, Mr. Matsumoto. "

Akikawa Kyousuke said with a smile.

"Just based on this coincidence, you can determine my identity?"

Kuroba Kaito asked.

"That's not true."

"The problem is still your notice. It is obvious that only insiders have the opportunity to slip the invitation letter to Mr. Tsukino."

"Although you did not say it clearly in the notice, you obviously knew in advance that the gem exhibited at this exhibition was the Scarlet Heart."

"The gem exhibited at this exhibition was not made public at the beginning. The only people who knew the true identity of the gem in advance were the few staff members and the guests who were invited to the scene and distributed the collection manual."

"In summary, only Mr. Matsumoto fits the identity of Kaito Kid."

"Of course, I guess this identity and appearance are also disguised by you."

Akikawa Sosuke said.

"Are you also a detective?"

Kuroba Kaito raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

The artist in front of him looked a bit like Conan and Hakuba Tan when he was reasoning.

But after he said that, he denied this idea in his heart.

Unless there are a few cases where the interests are consistent, detectives usually don't help themselves steal things.

In a situation like today, even Conan probably wouldn't help me.

"No."

Kaito Kuroba heard Akikawa Sosuke's expected answer.

"Then why should I believe that you didn't set a trap for me and wanted to lure me to Tsukino Takashi's personal lounge and arrest me?"

"If I really wanted to arrest you, I would have contacted someone to arrest you when the Yuehua necklace was stolen in the afternoon. Why would I have to spend so much effort?"

Akikawa Sosuke laughed.

"Whether we can catch you or not is another matter, but the chances are definitely much greater than now, right?"
