He's so meticulous; no wonder he's called "Sleeping Kogoro."

This is, of course, the idea that Amuro Tooru also hopes for.

"As instructed by you, Master, while I was conducting a secret investigation outside the villa, I suddenly saw this plump old man come out..."

He pointed at Da Shang Zhu Shan with one hand and weighed the small box, which wasn't very big but looked quite heavy, in his other hand.

"We've installed 'this' in all our cars."

"This, this is..."

"It's a bomb!"

"He wanted to blow up all our cars and trap us in this villa!"

A group of seasoned veterans, they didn't need any further instructions.

Everyone quickly moved more than a meter away from Da Shang Zhu Shan.

Even Senma Kakudai silently followed.

"You, you all..."

Knowing he had been caught red-handed, Da Shang Zhu Shan still tried to put up a stubborn resistance.

"You didn't..."

"Evidence, right?" Amuro Tooru nodded nonchalantly.

"Photos, videos, and... this thing, besides my fingerprints, whose fingerprints do you think they are?"

He tossed the small box in his hand.

The people present were so frightened that their legs went weak.

Brother, don't use bombs for acrobatics!

Fortunately, the bomb was harmless, and Da Shang Zhu Shan gradually lost his composure.

"I..." he murmured, unsure of what to say, and subconsciously raised his hand...

Before he could bite his finger, Kaito Kuroba swiftly grabbed it.

"Don't move! Mr. Ogami, you just picked up the cup, didn't you?"

Even though tea hadn't been served yet, most people picked up their cutlery to check it or admire the exquisite patterns after taking their seats.

Da Shang Zhu Shan nodded blankly, not understanding what he meant.

Kaito Kuroba then turned to the group of people standing together.

"What a coincidence! I was just about to go to the kitchen to help Mr. Osaka when I saw someone else..."

"She smeared something on all the teacups."

"I think that was probably no ordinary prank, Ms. Senma?"

Senma Kazuyo, who had been hiding among the crowd, finally couldn't help but tremble.

...

The conspiracy between Oogami Shuzen and Senma Kōdai, as well as Senma Kōdai's murderous act of lurking behind the scenes, has become obvious.

Despite their mutual animosity, the two still tried to clear their names of their greatest crime.

"I... I was just following orders! I didn't know anything about those things!"

When Yoruichi Toyama and the others revealed the true identity of the owner of the Twilight Mansion, Oogami Shuzen blurted out without thinking.

"It was... Phantom Thief Kid! It was all Phantom Thief Kid's doing! I didn't buy any villa!"

Yoruichi Toyama looked at Kaito Kuroba, somewhat speechless.

Why did you have to provoke him?

With a snap of his fingers, a wisp of smoke rose from beneath everyone's feet.

In the blink of an eye, Yoruichi Toyama, who was standing there, disappeared, and in front of her appeared a familiar white evening gown.

A white top hat, a monocle obscuring half his face, and Phantom Thief Kid is smiling at them.

"Really?" His arrogant tone made you want to punch him. "I don't recall ever ordering you to do anything, old man!"

“You…you…” Even Chima Kazuyo panicked, “You’re not Kid! It’s fake, it’s fake!”

Seeing the expectant look in Kuroba's eyes, Yoruichi Toyama sighed helplessly.

All anyone saw was "Miss Akemi" snap her fingers lightly, and then...

He turned into the exact same Kid next to him!

“That’s right, he’s not Phantom Thief Kid,” Yoruichi Toyama said in Kaito Kuroba’s voice. “I am!”

One Kidd is bad enough, how come another one has appeared?!

Everyone present started rolling their eyes.

“So,” both Kids said at the same time, “since you are acting under the orders of Phantom Thief Kid, you must be able to tell which of us is the real one and which is the fake one?”

Ookami Shuzen and Senma Kōdai exchanged a glance and slumped down together.

...

The tragedy that was supposed to happen at the Twilight Mansion ended in farce.

The two schemers gave up completely when they saw the two Kids appear.

The group kept them under surveillance, and then they took turns following Gunda Ikumi to wash their hands and remove the toxins.

Yoruichi Toyama finally ripped off her cumbersome white dress and top hat, revealing her true self.

“I sent Watson out to fetch help,” Hakuba Saguru said.

"The taxi that brought me here is parked not far down the mountain."

"but……"

He looked at Amuro Tooru and Toyama Yoruichi, and smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"It seems that your planning is not as meticulous as theirs."

"Kid, this is the experience of a detective!" Uncle Kogoro came over and patted him on the shoulder, looking like he had everything under control.

He essentially claimed all of Amuro Tooru's achievements as his own.

Kaito Kuroba, or rather, Kaito Kid now, couldn't help but chuckle.

"Then, sir, I'll trouble you to call the police."

"What? You phantom thief, why aren't you flying away yet?" Kogoro stared wide-eyed.

"Don't you know there's no cell phone signal here?"

The implication is that they want to use Kidd like Watson.

Yoruichi Toyama suppressed a laugh and took out the other phone that Akechi had given her.

"What, can't your cell phones make satellite calls?"

...

As soon as the police car arrived, Kogoro watched in surprise as the phantom thief took off his top hat and climbed inside.

It seems the police's claim that they recruited Kaito Kid is true.
