Chapter 49 The Phantom Thief and the Phantom Thief

When Karasawa, who had finished cutting the appearance, was running towards the Cupido Hotel, another short figure was also running in the same direction.

The detective, whose CPU was running at high speed, locked his eyes on the brightly lit hotel in the night and smiled confidently.

"Yes, this is it! From this direction, the only place where you can see the Rice Krispies Museum is here, on the roof of the Cupido Hotel!"

After reaching the top floor and setting off the prepared fireworks, Conan stood on the rooftop with the night wind blowing, looking towards the Rice Krispies Museum, which was locked by the helicopter's searchlight.

He glanced at the time, answered Dr. Agasa's call, and listened to information about Phantom Thief No. 1412 while waiting for the arrival of the Phantom Thief.

"There is a young novelist," that's your dad, Dr. Ari said in a circle, but he didn't reveal that Kudo Yusaku gave people nicknames.

He was very interested in the number 1412, so he rewritten and simplified '1412' and pronounced it as KID."

"KID?"

"That's right, Phantom Thief No. 1412, known as——"

As Dr. Ali announced in the receiver, Conan turned around with his eyes widened. In the crescent moon, a figure in a white cloak jumped from the air.

"'Kidd the Phantom Thief'!"

Kidd lowered his head and looked at the little boy standing on the edge of the rooftop, smiling with interest.

————

"If the Phantom Thief is an artist who steals prey with superb skills——

"The detective is nothing more than a critical critic following behind him!"

After performing a voice-changing performance and attracting all the police, Kidd calmly finished his famous line while being surrounded by police helicopters and chasing police. He opened the hang glider with one hand and inserted the sleeve of his other hand into the air.

A flash bomb dropped.

He grabbed the hem of his clothes, prepared to quickly change his clothes, sneak into the police and leave.

"——I agree."

A clear voice brushed past his ears. Kidd was startled and rolled sideways sharply. However, the flash bomb that was about to hit the ground was wrapped and pulled away by the passing red shadow, and the bright light failed to arrive as expected.

"Who!" Nakamori Ginzo, who had already raised his arms to cover his eyes, was startled when he heard the extra voice and lowered his arms to look over.

I saw a figure that seemed to be climbing along the outer wall, doing a forward somersault, jumping up to the edge of the rooftop, and landing where Kidd had just been standing.

"——It's so lively." Kidd didn't panic when his plan was broken. He tilted his head and looked at this sudden change.

The man raised his arm, and the red shadow that had just swept away the flash bomb was pulled back by him, wrapped around his neck, and turned into a red scarf. The two tails were blown by the wind from the helicopter and swayed behind him, like

A flickering candlelight.

"Where did this weirdo come from?" Zhongsen Police Department gritted his teeth and yelled at the intercom, "Didn't I tell you to be alert! Why didn't anyone find anyone on the outer wall!"

Because Conan's aura shielding halo is really useful! Karasawa smiled.

Conan took a step back and looked left and right in astonishment.

On one side is Kidd, who is dressed in snow-white, with black hair flowing under a hat, wearing a monocle, and his cape is dancing fiercely. On the other side is a weirdo who is dressed in pitch black, with white hair flying wildly, his eyes are wrapped by an eye patch, and his scarf is swinging in the wind.

…

Like the opposite mirror image.

Judging from the exposed lower half of his face, this new weirdo is also very young like Kidd, with smooth cheeks full of collagen. He is holding a card in his hand, but it cannot be seen clearly due to the way he holds it.

What exactly is it? I can only see the red edge...

Red card?

Conan's nerves jumped. If it were in an animation now, there would probably be a ray of light passing through his background.

"'The Phantom Thief of the Heart'?" He shouted out the first name that came to his lips.

Originally, this man had been staring closely at Kidd, as if everyone else around him didn't exist. After hearing this cry, he finally turned his head in the direction of Conan.

He did not deny Conan's call, with a smile on his lips: "You can call me, 'Joker', little Mr. Detective."

After saying this, he turned back and stared at Kidd, completely ignoring the police around him.

"'The Phantom Thief of the Heart'...ah, it's you." Kidd also laughed, "He's a guy who's been in the limelight recently, my Copycat."

Karasawa could hear Kidd's subtext right away.

Kidd said that he learned the technique of writing notice letters. The logo of the Phantom Thieves is also somewhat similar to the simple drawing that Kidd likes to leave behind. It is suspected of plagiarism and academic infringement.

"That sounds awful, Mr. Kidd." Karasawa spread his hands innocently, P5 is like this, does it have anything to do with him, "Since you have heard of my name, you should have heard of it too, I am

A phantom thief who steals something, right?"

Kidd smiled understandingly, crossed his arms, and started talking to him as if no one else was around him: "A righteous thief who hunts evil and judges villains is a 'heart-stealer,' right?"

Tang Ze snapped his fingers: "Correct answer."

"It seems that this copycat's prey this time is me."

Nakamori Ginzo clenched his fists angrily. Angrily, he discovered that the two criminals completely ignored the heavily guarded police and started chatting. He waved his hand: "What are you waiting for! Come on, bring these two guys together."

Take it!"

The police officers of Search Section 2 who were watching a show in a daze, woke up from a dream at this call, responded with a bang, divided into two groups and rushed towards the two strange thieves in different costumes, one on the left and one on the right.

It's a pity that the two of them still didn't pay much attention to them.

"Do you mind having a showdown? 'Artist'. Let's see whether you escape safely first or I succeed first." Karasawa raised the flash bomb he got from Kidd.

How could a fundamentalist retro villain have heard of this? You must know that in comics, using the press to issue a challenge letter can make Kidd show up obediently. This is a challenge written on his face, and there is no reason not to accept it.

"It's settled. Then it seems that the 'critics' are not useless." Kidd also took out another flash bomb, "After all, the level of art also needs to be judged by onlookers, right?"

"Cover your eyes!" Nakamori Ginzo, who has experienced fighting against Kidd, shouted, "Don't let him take the opportunity to escape with a hang glider!"

"Peng!" "Peng!"

Amidst the two indiscriminate thuds, two bright lights flashed up. Conan, who had gone through a battle between heaven and man in his heart and chose to point his gun at Kidd first, quietly raised the dial, and was caught again.

The bright lights on both sides lit up at the same time, blinding my eyes, and I could only cover my eyes and step back again.

When everyone put down their hands, the ground in front of them was empty. Neither Kidd nor Joker, who ran out from behind, were anywhere to be seen.

"People!" Nakamori Ginzo shouted with a walkie-talkie, "I asked you to be alert from the air. What are you alerting about? Hurry up and use radar to track it!"

"But, sir..." the helicopter pilot's voice came out weakly, "except for the four police helicopters, there are no other flying objects in the sky."

Nakamori Ginzo took two steps forward and soon found a paper with roses on the ground. On it was a new notice letter from Kidd, stating that he would go to the Queen Lisabeth to pick up the real "Pitch Black Star".

"Damn it!" He smashed the intercom in helpless rage, "Then go search the hotel for me!"

Kid, who quickly changed his appearance in the bright light of the flash bomb, pulled the edge of his police hat, blended in behind the policemen from the Second Search Section, followed them out of the rooftop door, and slipped quietly into the safe passage.

Kuroba Kaito quickly went downstairs and quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Really, I thought the plan had changed and I really had to fly out with a hang glider and have a dogfight with the helicopter ace.

Fortunately, this inexplicable "comrade" who appeared from behind seemed to be a pushy type. After taking away the first flash bomb, he stood there and sang along. The police who were frightened by the accident could not pounce on him immediately.

Only then could he escape according to his original plan.

Thinking of that "Joker", Kuroba Kaito let out a "tsk".

Although there are some criticisms of copycat, some colleagues have actually imitated his techniques and even issued a retro trailer. Doesn’t that mean that “Phantom Thief Kidd” is also quite recognized in the industry?

He is still a little secretly happy.

I don't know how this Joker can make people "change their minds" on time. Judging from his stature and body shape, he doesn't look much older than himself.

It's not a big problem. He is also a veteran who has been chased by the police for a long time. Now it's just one more colleague chasing behind him. It's a small matter.

Full of confidence, Kuroba Kaito touched the police uniform again, preparing to change it on the next floor, put on another set of clothes, and leave the hotel safely and elegantly.

As soon as I touched it, I suddenly felt something hard in the pocket on my chest.

"Huh?" He stood in front of the security door and took out the things in his pocket.

This is a red card with a top hat and flaming eyepatch logo on the back. It is the kind of notice letter that "Phantom Thief of Hearts" often sends out, and it is also the one that Karasawa just held in his hand.

Kuroba Kaito had a bad feeling and turned the card over.

There are no words of judgment that the Phantom Thief of Hearts usually has on it, but a line of letters and a symbol.

"Kuroba?"

This is the Roman pronunciation of "Black Feather".

Kuroba Kaito: "?!"
