Chapter 48: White Horse Detective
"Excuse me...is there something strange on my face?" Seeing that the other party was staring at his face, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but become suspicious.
"It's nothing, I just think you resemble someone I know." Kurusu Akatsuki pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose and said calmly, "It's like you were carved from the same mold!"
Kuroba Kaito was confused. The high school student in front of him was dressed in a rustic style and looked like a student from Teitan High School. He was sure that he had never met this person before.
The little girl in blue who was following him had a foreign look, and walking with him seemed... quite normal, and there was nothing suspicious about her.
Having been distorted by Ravenda, Kuroba Kaito no longer had any doubts about the two of them. After apologizing again, he followed Aoko to watch the magic show nearby.
"Guest, do you know this gentleman?" Lawenda tugged on Qi Xiao's sleeve, her eyes twinkling curiously.
"I only know him unilaterally. This person should be regarded as my senior!" Kuroba Kaito's back reflected in Kurusu Akatsuki's pupils, transforming into a gentleman in a white dress.
The long-established Kidd and the budding Phantom, the two Phantom Thieves in Black and White, met abruptly here and completed their first contact.
"Ravenda, do you want to see a magic show?" Kurusu Akatsuki took Ravenda's hand, her eyes still fixed on Kuroba Kaito, "Let's go and have a look too."
After getting the little girl's consent, Kurusu Akatsuki led her into the crowd, and happened to be next to Kuroba Kaito, who was accompanying Aoko. The two nodded to each other, which was considered a greeting, and then they stopped talking.
He stopped talking and began to concentrate on watching the performance in front of him.
The magician who performed was obviously a veteran, and he didn't have any stage fright when performing in front of so many people. He had all kinds of fancy magic tricks at his fingertips. He first performed a simple poker magic trick, randomly pulling out a playing card from the deck and facing it.
With a flick, the card changed colors in the blink of an eye.
Such a simple but interesting little magic trick attracted bursts of cheers from the audience. Even Lavenda couldn't help but stand on her tiptoes to see more clearly. Seeing this, Akatsuki Kurusu simply lifted the petite girl above her head.
, so that she could look beyond the crowd and enjoy the performance better.
Ravenda, who was lifted high, first covered her face in embarrassment, but then she couldn't help being attracted by the performance, and her eyes slowly flew out through her fingers.
"Kaito, what happened to that magic trick just now?" Aoko shook her childhood sweetheart's arm, with a hint of coquettishness in her voice, "Tell me!"
"I don't know~" Kuroba Kaito turned his head away humbly, not wanting to expose his colleague's performance. But Aoko, who had not understood Kaito's thoughts, still held his arm reluctantly and continued to ask:
"Nonsense, don't you often play tricks like this on weekdays? You must know!"
At this time, Kurusu Akatsuki keenly felt the sight from above her head. Ravenda was also staring at him curiously, waiting for his answer.
"I don't know either~" Kurusu Akatsuki imitated Kuroba Kaito and turned his head away from Ravenda's sight. With the third eye, he certainly understood the principle of the little magic just now, but he also knew the taboos of magicians.
Like Kuroba Kaito, he chose silence.
The two stranger thieves felt sympathy for each other at this moment and reached out to each other in unison.
"My name is Kuroba Kaito, and I am a student of Ekoda High School."
"Kusu Akatsuki, I'm from Teidan High School."
The hands of the two phantom thieves, black and white, were clasped together, and they reached a brief consensus and an extremely unreliable friendship.
The alliance between the two people should have naturally broken down in a few seconds, but at this moment, the visit of an uninvited guest unexpectedly strengthened the relationship.
"The principle of magic is not complicated. The magician just stacked two cards together and flipped the front card to the back in an instant. It's very simple. As long as you observe carefully, anyone can crack it!"
The Phantom Thieves Alliance turned their heads together and glared at the uninvited guest beside them. The visitor was a handsome high school student with brown curly hair. He was wearing the same uniform as Kuroba Kaito, and his elegant behavior revealed a strong sense of arrogance.
.
"Hakuba-san, why are you here?" Aoko poked her head out from behind Kuroba Kaito, "Are you also interested in magic performances?"
"I just happened to be here by chance." Hakuba Tan nodded slightly, "What a coincidence, Nakamori-san. And Kuroba-san, good afternoon."
"What an impolite detective!" Kuroba Kaito raised his head contemptuously and said, "It is very impolite to expose someone else's carefully prepared magic trick!"
"Yes, magic is not just a puzzle for people to solve." Akatsuki Kurusu also stood up and said, "Magic is a performance for people to appreciate, an art that deceives human eyes. As for the principle behind it, it is just the aftertaste after the performance.
That’s all.”
"What you two said makes sense. It's my occupational disease. I apologize to you." The white horse detective still acted like a gentleman, not showing any signs of anger.
"However, I deliberately lowered my voice when I was explaining just now. Only you can hear me. In this way, I don't disturb the magician's performance, right?"
"Tch!" Kuroba Kaito, who had nothing to say, could only remain silent.
But the white horse detective obviously didn't mean to shut up like this, but turned to Qingzi and said:
"Classmate Zhongmori, please help me say hello to Officer Zhongmori. I'm afraid I will cause him a lot of trouble in the future."
"Eh? What does this mean?" Suddenly hearing such a meaningless sentence, Aoko couldn't help but be stunned for a while, "Hakuba-san, do you really want to follow up on Kaito Kidd's case?"
"Haha, to be honest, my interest in Kaitou Kidd has weakened a lot now." Detective White Horse said with considerable confidence, "Now there is a case that attracts me more, and this case is also in charge of Officer Nakamori. So.
, I will ask you to help me convey my apology."
"Are you talking about the case of the Phantom Thief?" Aoko deliberately lowered her voice when she said this, but she still couldn't hide it from the ears of Raisu Akatsuki and Kuroba Kaito.
"Yes, this is the incident."
"Kid is just a magician who uses blind tricks at best. As long as he relies on observation and logic, his tricks can be cracked. But it is different with another Phantom Thief who has made a lot of noise recently, the Phantom Thief of Hearts who stole desires.
... Such an incident, which is like a fantasy, can arouse my curiosity even more as a detective!"
