"It's such a pity that your father finally got the sports car, but it broke down even before it arrived in a day... Moreover, the price to repair it is a lot of money for your father, right?"
?”
Walking on the streets of Shibuya, Sonoko was shopping and said to Xiaolan beside him:
"But fortunately, your father's life is not in danger... Hey, should I say it is lucky or unfortunate, the criminal who deliberately caused this car accident actually identified the wrong person. But it was also because Mr. Yuan surrendered... Hey, I feel that these things are a bit
I have a headache..."
Recalling what happened in the Twin Towers skyscraper, Sonoko couldn't help but complain.
"yes."
In this regard, Xiaolan felt very helpless and said:
"As a result, this car can only be kept in the yard of Dr. Ali's house, but now there are no parts to repair it..."
"But having said that, since the Tokiwa Group gave out gifts so generously during the game this time, and your father also knows Mio Tokiwa, why doesn't your father just find Mio Tokiwa again and let her come?
How about helping with the car repairs?"
"Ah……"
With a wry smile, Xiaolan couldn't help but said:
"He wanted to, but in the end he gave up because he couldn't bear to face it..."
With that said, she recalled that when she was in the hospital that day, there was an awkward atmosphere between her father, Kogoro Mori, and her mother, Eri, because of this topic. Xiaolan didn't want to continue talking about this topic. She looked at Sonoko,
Then he said with some surprise:
"Huh? Speaking of Sonoko, your hairstyle...why..."
Thinking about how Yuanzi had her hair permed specially during the opening party, but now she put on the hairband again and returned to her original look, Xiaolan couldn't help but feel puzzled.
In response, Yuanzi touched his temples and said frankly:
"It's too troublesome! Although the hairstyle Mr. Akechi gave me looks good, it's too complicated for me to do it myself, so I just changed it back to the original one and got used to it."
"This, this is it..."
Xiaolan said helplessly when she heard Yuanzi say that she didn't have a haircut because she thought it was too troublesome.
Afterwards, Yuanzi and Xiaolan continued shopping for a while, and then suddenly thought about it and mentioned:
"Ah! By the way, your dad doesn't have a case on hand right now? I happen to have something I want to investigate. I wonder if your dad is interested?"
"What?"
Xiaolan asked.
"Hey...about 'Phantom Thief 1412'!"
Smiling lightly, Yuanzi explained...
…
At the same time, also on the streets of Shibuya, a pair of young high school students and a man were shopping here——
"Really, Hongzi is sick and has asked for leave today. She looks very serious. Qingzi wanted to see her, but you are so anxious to leave. What on earth do you want to do, Kaito?"
With a depressed look on her face, the girl said this to the boy in front of her with a proud smile on her face.
In response, the boy said:
"It's okay, it's just a cold. And she told us not to worry, so what are we doing here?"
It's a matter of course. When the boy said this, he couldn't help but think -
Anyway, Koizumi Anko is not really sick. If she stays there, her secret will be exposed...
As for this, it turns out that this couple is Nakamori Aoko and Kuroba Kaito from Ekoda High School.
Speaking of Koizumi Anko's illness, Kuroba Kaito is much clearer than Nakamori Aoko. She is just cooperating with Akechi in acting.
Thinking like this, I recalled what happened not long ago. Akechi came to me and wanted me to help him get an identity that would allow him to go abroad immediately. He also originally planned to let me play him during the few days he went abroad to create a...
The illusion that he is still in the country.
This point can't help but give me a headache——
That guy, every time he comes to see me, his requests are so outrageous...
But this time he did provide a clue to a gem, so let’s help him a little for now...
It just so happens that Grandpa Terai's passport can be used to go abroad as an identity. Moreover, he can use Grandpa Terai's identity to go abroad, which can help conceal Grandpa Terai's whereabouts and facilitate his future actions...
I just created the illusion for him that he was still in the country. I didn't have the time to do this, so I had to let him find another talent, and he actually found it...
At this moment, a light rain started to fall in the sky of Shibuya. Seeing this, Nakamori Aoko quickly took out an umbrella from her bag and pulled Kuroba Kaito to hold an umbrella together. She couldn't help but walk around shopping.
Speeding up...
…
"Phantom Thief No. 1412? What is this? A thief?"
On the other side, Xiaolan listened to Yuanzi's story and asked with some confusion.
Regarding this, Yuanzi immediately became interested and explained:
"That's right! He's the middle-aged thief that young girls are obsessed with these days! Why, as a detective's daughter, you don't know this?"
"No? I don't think I've heard Shinichi mention it to his father... And you can also ask Mr. Akechi about this kind of thing, right? Maybe he will understand..."
Xiaolan responded.
"Oh... I've looked for him. But Mr. Mingzhi has a bad cold today, so I really can't help him."
Yuanzi said helplessly.
"Ah? Mr. Mingzhi has a bad cold? Let's go visit him sometime..."
So, after hearing the news, Xiaolan immediately suggested worriedly, but before he could finish speaking, when he was passing the intersection, Yuanzi suddenly seemed to have seen something, and shouted to one side in surprise:
"Kudo Shinichi! Hello! Xiaolan! It's Shinichi! I saw Shinichi walking with another woman!"
"What?"
She was startled for a moment. Thinking back to her previous guesses, Xiaolan couldn't help but say:
"No way……"
As he said that, he looked in the direction of Sonoko's finger and saw a figure holding an umbrella with a girl at the intersection in front of him. It did look like Shinichi's. Xiaolan was a little unbelievable and said:
"Maybe... they are just similar people..."
With that said, as the traffic light at the intersection in front of me turned red, I had no chance to catch up and investigate...
…
"What? Saw Shinichi-nii in Shibuya?"
In the evening, after returning to the Mori Detective Agency, Xiaolan told the story of her suspected encounter with Kudo Shinichi to Kogoro Mori and Conan who were present, and Conan couldn't help but reply like this, muttering in his heart: "
How is that possible?" Then he said:
"Maybe they're just people who look alike..."
"Well, maybe..."
It's interesting that Xiaolan said this when looking at Conan's attitude.
Later, Xiaolan told Mori Kogoro what Sonoko mentioned about the Suzuki Consortium receiving the notice letter from "Phantom Thief No. 14212", and briefly recounted what Sonoko said——
"I heard from Yuanzi that he is a thief who has the whole world at his fingertips and specializes in stealing art and jewelry. The most reliable theory is that the FBI, CIA and Interpol have assigned him an international crime number.
, the information was leaked, so everyone called him that. But in Japan, he seems to have other names..."
Saying this, Mouri Kogoro, who had drunk wine, didn't care at all——
"No matter what, he is nothing more than a thief."
Conan also feels the same about this——
More than a thief, the Twin Towers skyscraper incident is more concerning...
However, when Xiaolan took out the notice letter received by the Suzuki family, Conan's attitude was immediately attracted...()
