Tsujima Shuji, Atobe Keigo and Akashi Seijuro quickly fled from the evil Cowherd business site.
At this time, the police officer in charge of security asked everyone to think of a secret code with their companions in advance to prevent their companions from being transferred by Kaitou Kidd.
"The secret code..." Shuji Tsushima touched his chin.
"Yes." He made a fist and hit it in the palm of his hand.
"I said the five-star building."
"Atobe-senpai said Tokyo Tower."
"Akaashi-senpai said Ueno Park."
"After all, I just learned about these things~" Tsushima Shuji nodded affirmatively.
"Kaitou Kidd will definitely not know."
Shuji Tsushima: I’m such a genius~
"I don't have any objections, sir." Atobe Keigo was not very interested in this.
"Then just follow what Tsushima said." Akashi Seijuro didn't have any objections.
"Although I don't need a code, I can still recognize Atobe-senpai and Akashi-senpai..." The black-haired boy scratched his face in embarrassment.
"Because Akashi-senpai and Atobe-senpai are both kind of... very special beings." He smiled shyly.
Shuji Tsushima: I feel that no matter how much he disguises himself, Kuroba Kaito will never have the natural aura of a king like Atobe Keigo.
As for Akashi Seijuro...unless Kuroba Kaito also knows the Eye of the Emperor/bushi.
Suddenly, the lights in the lobby dimmed.
A man in a white suit and cape appeared in the lobby.
"It's Kaitou Kidd!!" Everyone exclaimed.
Without saying a word, Mrs. Tomoko took out her pistol and fired several shots at Kaitou Kidd, who fell down.
Everyone:...? ? That's it? The legendary international thief?
"It is indeed Mrs. Tomoko's style." Atobe Keigo said in a low voice.
"Ah, here's a show to show off to that thief." Akashi Seijuro answered with a smile.
The lights in the lobby came on again.
The fallen phantom thief stood up, unscathed.
After taking off Kaitou Kid's costume, he introduced himself with ease.
He even made a disdainful comment on Kaitou Kidd.
"...Artists like us are different from that thief who only knows how to use tricks."
"Hey..." Tsushima Shuji looked at Mao Lilan, and then at the man who was performing magic.
"I am like Xisha who was bewitched by the Queen of Egypt. I have come to your side. - Kaitou Kidd." Mao Lilan pulled out a card with these words.
"Kaitou Kidd? He's already here? Where is he?!" Everyone whispered among themselves.
Shuji Tsushima: Right in front of you...
The one who drew the card in front of everyone was Miss Mao Lilan.
There's no pressure to dress up as a woman, Kuroba Kaito.
Shuji Tsushima: Stare.
Kuroba Kaito disguised as Mouriran: Why do you feel... cold all over?
She pretended to look around naturally.
He met the kite-colored eyes not far away.
Although the other party quickly looked away, it seemed that they just met accidentally.
but……
Kuroba Kaito: This guy Tsushima must have found out/is convinced.
I'm really grateful to that guy for not exposing me from the beginning...
When he was a child, he also doubted Tsushima Shuji's ability. After refreshing his world view again and again...
Is there really anything that Tsushima can't do? /suspicious eyes.jpg
…
The dark star on Mao Lilan's brooch fell to the ground, and she tried to pick it up.
However, she was blocked by someone, and the pearl rolled further and further away, out of reach of her.
So I had to ask others for help.
Atobe Keigo heard it, lowered his head and prepared to reach out to pick it up.
Was stopped by Shuji Tsushima.
Before I could ask why, the pearl on the ground exploded.
Atobe Keigo:……
"Is this...an explosion?"
While everyone was in shock and confusion, there was the sound of more pearls falling to the ground and rolling.
The successive explosions caused most people present to panic and couldn't help but look at the brooches on their clothes with fearful eyes.
As one person hurriedly took off his brooch, threw it down, and hurriedly ran outside, others also dropped their brooches and ran out in a crowd.
There were more than 500 guests present, and at least 300 people left, causing some confusion.
"It's really not gorgeous." Atobe Keigo couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the postures of a group of distinguished people from all walks of life.
"Aren't you afraid, Atobe-senpai? This pearl can explode." Tsushima Shuji asked curiously.
"Except for the first pearl that fell from Miss Mao Lilan, the others all appeared suddenly."
"I'm not that stupid yet." Keigo Atobe said in a bold tone.
"It seems that Kaitou Kidd is dressed up as Miss Mori." Akashi Seijuro shook his head.
"The person who drew out the warning letter from Kaitou Kidd was also Miss Mori, and the first pearl that exploded was also dropped by Miss Mori..." Akashi Seijuro said calmly.
"Ah, well, if that Miss Mori is Kaitou Kid in disguise, then all this will be explained."
"First Evolution"
"It's quite a gorgeous camouflage technique." Atobe Keigo nodded in praise.
"It seems that the dark star is on Mrs. Tomoko." The two looked at Maori Land who stood next to Suzuki Tomoko.
"Tsushima, you've already noticed it," Atobe Keigo said matter-of-factly.
That's why he was stopped from picking up the pearl.
He only figured it out after the pearl exploded and relied on Shuji Tsushima to stop him.
"Hey...Atobe-senpai and Akashi-senpai are also very suitable to be detectives." Shuji Tsushima winked and joked.
Shuji Tsushima: You two should make your debut as a group, detective gentlemen. I think it’s quite suitable?
"Do you want to notify the police?" Keigo Atobe asked.
Shuji Tsushima had known it for a long time but did not tell anyone, nor did he choose to notify the police.
Why is this?
"If Atobe-senpai and Akashi-senpai are willing, they can stand up and expose the Kaitou Kidd now."
"My word..." The black-haired boy with wild eyes smiled and said nothing further.
Kaitou Buster or something...
forget it.
With Mrs. Tomoko's scream, everyone knew that the dark star she was wearing had been stolen.
"Is it really okay?" Akashi Seijuro asked.
"Don't worry, the Dark Star will not be lost." Tsushima Shuji's tone was calm but determined.
He looked at Maori Lan who was being dragged away by Edogawa Conan. When he passed by, he stretched out his hand to block the other party.
"Be careful about catching a cold, Miss Xiaolan." He asked with a concerned tone.
"Conan must have found a clue to Kaito Kidd, so go ahead." He looked at Conan again and said.
Kudo Shinichi: ...You discovered it again.
The primary school student pulled the fake Mao Lilan and ran away with a blind eye.
There are too many people, and Kaito Kidd can easily escape.
"Are you just going to let that kid take Kaito Kid away?" Keigo Atobe asked with a frown.
Shuji Tsushima looked at the back of the elementary school student leaving and turned his head.
"When it comes to magic... I can actually do it." In his raised hand, there was a black pearl wrapped in a handkerchief.
"What..." Atobe Keigo was stunned.
"When did you do it?" Akashi Seijuro looked at the black-haired boy with kite eyes, and then at the dark star in his hand.
The black-haired boy raised the corners of his mouth silently, his iris-colored eyes calm.
"It's magic."
"If the magic technique is revealed..."
"He's not handsome anymore."
…
"...I have seen through everything, Kaitou Kid." Edogawa Conan stood face to face with Kaitou Kid disguised as Maori Ran.
"Don't try to take away the Dark Star this time." Edogawa Conan said confidently.
"The Dark Star is no longer with me."
"Although you are very good, there is someone better than you, little brother." Kaitou Kidd, who gave up his disguise, used Maorilan's appearance and said in a boy's voice.
Kudo Shinichi: ...Here we go again...
He thought about Shujima Tsujima's action in stopping them before leaving.
Could it be that time...
"It's that strange boy with a bandage." Kaitou Kid confirmed his guess.
"Even I didn't notice it right away." Kaitou Kid's tone was leisurely and full of admiration.
"I ask you, little brother, to return this fake Dark Star to him for me." He threw the fake Dark Star wrapped in a handkerchief to Edogawa Conan.
"Do you think you still have a chance to escape?" Edogawa Conan asked, bumping the football.
"Speaking of which... Miss Mao Lilan, whose clothes I borrowed, is probably lying unconscious on the boat right now..." Kaitou Kid recalled.
"If someone else finds out..." His tone was meaningful.
As the smoke bomb landed, he disappeared in front of Edogawa Conan.
Only women's clothing was left in place.
Kudo Shinichi: Damn it!
He picked up the clothes on the ground and rushed to find Mao Lilan.
What he saw was the other person who was intact.
Kudo Shinichi: ...I was tricked by that thief... Damn it! ! !
…
Kaitou Kidd disappeared on the ship, as if he had never appeared before, and there was no trace of him.
"I really want to thank you, Tsushima." Mrs. Tomoko said after taking the Dark Star.
"No, Atobe-senpai and Akashi-senpai also have contributions. This is what we should do." The black-haired boy shook his head.
"No, we didn't do anything. Tsushima did everything." Akashi Seijuro also shook his head.
"I don't have the habit of pretending to take credit for my achievements." Atobe Keigo spoke openly, tapping his tear mark.
Everyone:! ! ! What a group of good young men who don’t care about fame! !
Kudo Shinichi’s Dead Fish Eyes: Cut.
…
The next day.
Kuroba Kaito, who swam ashore for a long time, unexpectedly caught a cold.
He recalled Tsushima Shuji’s ambiguous reminder on the boat.
"...be careful of catching a cold."
Kuroba Kaito: How disgusting, that boy Tsushima.
"Aqiu..."
"Is this Mr. Kuroba Kaito? There is your express mail here..." The guy in blue and white stripes knocked on the door and shouted.
"A... Aki..." Kuroba Kaito sneezed and opened the door.
"Express mail?" He took the small box.
When I opened it, I saw it was a bottle of medicine.
[The special medicine recently developed by the company will be tested on you first. Remember to report the effect to me after taking it.
For Mr. Kidd, the phantom thief who is afraid of fish and has to swim to evade the police. ——Tsujima Shuji (Part 1)
