Kuroba Kaito's IQ and memory are very good, and he remembers a lot of things about Kei Baiye whom he met in kindergarten.
At that time, he had not yet met his childhood sweetheart Nakamori Aoko, and Jing Baiye was his first childhood playmate. In his memory, Jing Baiye also had an older sister, and the two siblings would play with him in a nearby park.
There was a pond in the park, the water was about half a meter deep, and Jing Baiye's sister slipped and fell into it and drowned.
Of course, this is only on the surface, that is, the result of the police investigation. Kuroba Kaito secretly heard his parents mention this "accident". It is said that when the girl was found, her body was covered with bruises from being beaten, and both legs were broken.
, and there are quite obvious pinch marks on the neck.
At that time, he was young and didn't feel anything, but as he grew older, Kuroba Kaito realized that a lot was wrong when he recalled the incident.
A person who accidentally drowned could not break his legs, and a person with broken legs could not walk to the pond on his own. A case with so many doubts was finally closed by accident.
It’s no wonder that my mother often complains that the current Japanese police are just salary bastards, and they are of no use even if they receive higher wages.
But speaking of police…
Kuroba Kaito returned to his bedroom and pulled out a photo album from the bookshelf. The first few pages were photos of him when he was a baby, and then there were photos of him and Jie Baiye when he was in kindergarten.
In the photo, two boys were sitting on the slide in the park, with smiles on their faces. Jing Baiye also held a pair of toy handcuffs in his hands.
He remembered that Jing Baiye's dream was to be an excellent policeman, but after his sister died, he never mentioned it again.
At this moment, the doorbell rang downstairs. Kuroba Kaito ran downstairs quickly and opened the door before his mother.
I saw a young man standing at the door wearing a sweatshirt with cartoon patterns. He was a little taller than him. He had quite pale skin under his black hair. He looked sickly. His left eye and neck were wrapped in bandages.
"Are you... Kaito?" The black-haired boy looked at him and showed a smile that was somewhat similar to the one in the photo.
"Long time no see, I'm Jing Baiye."

Jie Baiye visited the Kuroba family this time mainly to check on the situation of Kuroba Chikage and Kuroba Kaito. After seeing that they were doing well, he gave them all the known information about the Kaito Crow.
He was very sure that Kaitou Crow was Kuroba Toichi. The reason why this teacher went to Las Vegas in the United States was because the base camp of the zoo organization was there, and he didn't have much time to do activities in Japan. He went there partly for investigation.
, on the one hand, it is also to avoid dragging down my wife and children.
Jing Baiye stayed until noon and left after lunch and snacks. When he left, he gave his mobile phone number and email address to the mother and son.
When passing through a certain trail with no one and no surveillance, Jing Baiye instantly switched into a female vest.
[You are really getting more and more proficient.] The system sighed.
[I’m not proficient, and I’m still not used to many places.] Jing Baiye walked through the path and walked towards the crowded commercial street.
Wearing a female vest with long hair was much more troublesome than when he had short hair. When the wind blew, he would turn into a crazy Sadako. He didn't have any rubber bands or ropes to tie his hair, so he had to take out the top and top from his backpack.
A baseball cap that doesn’t match the suit at all, just tuck in your hair and buckle it on your head.
[I finally understand why Gin always wears a hat, long hair is so troublesome.] Jing Baiye’s eyes fell on the barber shop on the street, [Long hair seems to be profitable, I want to shave it off.]
[…If you shave your head, your vest bonus will be reduced.]
【...How much lower?】
[Originally, it was 50%, but after shaving my head... it's probably only 10%, because the hairstyle affects the appearance very much. 】
Jing Baiye had no choice but to give up this idea. The skill bonus was much more important than the money from selling hair. He touched the hair exposed under the hat and planned to cut it shorter when he went back. The bonus would probably be affected by having a men's hairstyle.
, then cut it below the shoulders and tie it into a ponytail or braid.
He got on the tram. Since it was noon on a weekday, there was almost no one around. He found a place to sit down, then took out his phone and saw a new email on it.
[My mother plans to go to Las Vegas to find my father and leave me under the care of Grandpa Terai.]
It was sent to him by Kuroba Kaito.
[Why? Think you are too young?] Jing Baiye replied.
[Calling me unreliable will affect my father and ask me to stay in Japan.]
Jing Baiye looked at this email and realized that he actually understood what Kuroba Chikage was doing. After all, Kuroba Kaito almost cheated his father.
Originally, the Kuroba couple did not plan to tell their son that they were both Kaito Thieves, but one time when the Kuroba Thief returned, they happened to be seen by Kuroba Kaito and the original owner who were playing outside too late at the time.
Fortunately, the original owner would not spread this news around, but Kuroba Kaito was a very naughty kid at the time. When the kindergarten teacher asked what your father's occupation was, he was very proud and said very proudly: My father is a Phantom Thief.
.
Fortunately, the teacher and other students did not take him seriously and only thought he was bragging. None of them chose to call the police. Kuroba Kaito, who was unconvinced at the time, went back and complained to his parents about the incident. Then he did not know how Kuroba and his wife educated him.
He never mentioned it to outsiders again.
With such a criminal record, and the destination being an unfamiliar foreign country, it would be too normal not to take him with me.
[That’s true. If you’re not very capable, you won’t be able to help them. 】
This is Jing Baiye's innermost thoughts. Both Kuroba and his wife are famous international wanted criminals. Even if Kuroba Chikage's ability has deteriorated after years of retirement, it is still not comparable to the 12-year-old Kuroba Kaito. The two of them have
He has probably seen more police, bodyguards and criminals than he has ever eaten.
It's not clear whether this kind of vernacular irritated the young Kuroba Kaito. It wasn't until Keibai Ye got off at Mikkacho Station that the reply came belatedly. The content did not mention his parents' decision again, but mentioned...
Got to him.
[I remember you said you wanted to be a police officer when you were a child. Do you still have this dream now? 】
Jing Baiye fell into silence. Being a policeman was the dream of the original owner of this body, and it was shattered when the original owner was still alive.
He suffered multiple domestic violence calls to the police to no avail, his sister was brutally murdered but the case ended prematurely by suicide, and he was regarded as a liar when he provided testimony. All of this undermined the seven-year-old child's beautiful conception of the police.
He was about to reply, but a new email came from Kaito Kuroba.
[I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said these things, I hope you don't mind... Next time you come to Ekoda Town, I'll invite you to the amusement park here! Consider it my apology to you. 】
【Okay.】Jing Baiye sent a reply quickly.
The original owner is no longer here, and he himself cannot become a policeman. Now he is a member of a transnational criminal organization. Even if he does join the Metropolitan Police Department or the National Police Agency one day, he will be an undercover agent.
However, given his acting skills and obvious physical defects, the boss would not be so whimsical as to give him such a task.
