"I was very curious. He was obviously a child, but he was on the rooftop of the building that night, predicting that I would appear there... So, I specifically investigated you later."
So, Kaitou Kidd said, looking at Conan, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"However, before today, I still didn't understand how you could have such a mind even though you are a child. Until just now, when you exchanged code words with this girl, the girl responded with the name 'Xinyi',
Then your reaction made me finally realize who you really are!"
"So, you deliberately disguised yourself as Xiaolan just to test me?"
After understanding the meaning of Kaito Kid's words, Conan suppressed his inner anger and replied with a serious expression.
"Of course, I still have basic respect for people who can see through my password!"
Kaitou Kidd said with a chuckle, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart——
"If that guy hadn't revealed your information to me, why would I have gone to such trouble this time?
"Anyway, if that guy's words hadn't made me interested in you kid, I wouldn't have the extra patience to test you...
"However, the results are very surprising..."
Thinking this way, Kaitou Kidd continued:
"Okay. This time I have figured out what I want to know, and I have obtained the target gem. Then, I won't play with you anymore... I am just a child now, little detective!"
With that said, Kaitou Kidd turned around and left.
However--
"Don't try to escape!"
Suddenly, using the strength of his feet to strengthen his shoes again, Conan found some items piled on the ground, so he kicked them out like a football, stopping Kid the thief from escaping, and then said to him angrily:
"It's not over yet, Kaitou Kidd! Up to now, you are still on this ship that is like a prison on the sea. As long as I subdue you, you will still fail! And... where is Xiaolan!"
Angrily, Conan shouted:
"You probably took advantage of the first time you used the dummy to create chaos and changed Xiaolan's identity! Then where did you hide the real Xiaolan?"
"Hehe, you ask this..."
Looking at the destructive power caused by the items kicked by Conan just now, Kaitou Kidd was still a little frightened——
Not only football, but also other things can be played with such power?
And it seems that the lethality is even greater...
"Oh, what should I say..."
At this moment, facing such a situation, Kaitou Kidd noticed that Conan could kick a lot of things, and knew that hiding forcibly would be the next best thing. It would be better to take advantage of his concern for the girl——
"Lend me your clothes. The girl who is still lying on the lifeboat now...will she catch a cold if she doesn't go quickly?"
So, Kaitou Kid thought thoughtfully, and then took out women's underwear from the red evening dress he was wearing and showed it to Conan——
Suddenly, looking at this scene, combined with the words "borrowing clothes" and "cold" that Kaitou Kidd just said, Conan's mind couldn't help but picture Xiaolan lying naked in the lifeboat on the ship!
"asshole!"
Conan was very angry about this.
However, Kaitou Kidd took out the "Pitch Black Star" and threw it towards Conan——
"By the way, I'll give up on this gem first. Remember to tell Mrs. Suzuki that I'm sorry for ruining her party..."
In this way, looking at the "Pitch Black Star" being thrown over, although Conan was very angry at Kaitou Kidd, he still had to rush forward to catch it——
Then, just as Conan caught the gem, Kaitou Kid suddenly put on sunglasses with his other hand, and then smashed it on the ground with his free hand.
A flash bomb flashed, covering Conan's sight, making it impossible for Conan to open his eyes!
And when the light dissipated and Kaito Kidd could no longer be seen nearby, but could only see a complete set of Xiaolan's clothes falling on the ground, Conan felt resentful in his heart——
"Damn it! Let him run away!"
So, regardless of Sonoko who was unconscious on the ground, Conan picked up the pile of clothes and ran towards the deck of the cruise ship where the lifeboat was placed.
At this time, just as the police officers who were searching for traces of Kaito Kidd on the ship were ordered by Nakamori Ginzo, several people also searched near the lifeboat.
Among them, a sharp-eyed police officer noticed Xiaolan, who was lying asleep in the lifeboat at the moment, and said to the police officer next to him in surprise:
"Hey! There's a girl sleeping on the lifeboat!"
In this way, as soon as these words were spoken, the police officers on the side also gathered around. Looking at Xiaolan who was sleeping on it, all the police officers unanimously judged:
"Get it done first and then talk about it."
Lying on the lifeboat and sleeping, no matter how you think about it, you don't feel safe.
So, several police officers worked together to get Xiaolan out of the lifeboat.
At this moment, Conan, who was rushing over with the pile of clothes left behind by Kaitou Kidd after he disappeared, heard what the police officers said. Suddenly, Conan thought that the girl they found was Xiaolan.
At the same time, he remembered Kaitou Kidd's words and Xiaolan's clothes now in his hands. Conan accelerated his pace even more anxiously and ran away, shouting:
"Ah! Wait a minute!"
——If Xiaolan is taken out like this, then...
Thinking that Xiaolan should be naked now, Conan became very anxious!
However, when the police actually rescued Xiaolan, Conan, who was running anxiously, suddenly fell into surprise when he saw that Xiaolan was still intact in her red evening dress.
He looked at the clothes in his hands and the same style worn by Xiao Lan.
Conan immediately figured it out——
Since Kaitou Kidd was targeting Xiaolan, who he dressed up as, he must have done some research in advance and knew what Xiaolan would be wearing today, so he prepared the same style in advance!
He just said that to himself on purpose, just to make himself anxious!
Damn thief Kidd!
…
"Ah? What, that Xiaolan at that time... was Kaitou Kidd?"
After the incident, when Conan told everyone about Kaito Kidd, Sonoko woke up from the anesthesia injection and learned that Xiaolan who trapped him behind him was actually Kaito Kidd in disguise. Sonoko couldn't help but
It seems a little regretful——
"It's such a pity that I didn't see the true face of that big thief..."
"However, 'Pitch Black Star' was actually switched out a long time ago. I really didn't expect it. Fortunately, it was recovered in the end."
In this regard, Gao Yuan focused on this matter——
In fact, I had informed Kaitou Kid of this in advance, but he didn't expect that he would simply steal the genuine product, so that the one on Mrs. Suzuki's body was always a fake...
However, in order to cooperate with his misleading judgment of Conan, the person who deliberately dropped the box from Mrs. Suzuki's hand in the chaos was actually Gao Yuan himself...
Thinking this way, Sonoko regretted it and gave Conan a hard lesson for actually judging her to be Kaitou Kidd, which Conan really couldn't refute.
In response, Xiaolan, who had regained consciousness, helped Conan persuade Yuanzi to calm down——
"After all, Conan is just a child..."
So, Xiaolan explained to Yuanzi.
However, looking at this scene, Xiaolan's attitude and Gao Yuan's thoughts were a little solemn——
After all, what you really need to worry about now is...()
