Chapter 66
"Huh? Who's the princess?"
The word "princess" was lingering in Kuroba Kaito's mind. Although he often disguised himself as a girl for plans, this time he was a real man. Not only was he a man, but he was also a cleaner.
There is no possibility of being mistaken for a princess.
"Your Highness, Princess, what's wrong with you?"
The long-nosed Pinocchio hugged Kuroba Kaito's calf tightly, as if he was afraid that the person would run away in front of him.
"Wait, let me go first." Kuroba Kaito took a few steps back and tried to break free from Pinocchio.
Pinocchio should be more accurately described as a puppet beast.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess will definitely run away if I let her go." Pinocchio closed his eyes and shook his head frantically.
Kuroba Kaito had a headache. He couldn't get rid of it, and was kept being called "Princess".
"I'm not a princess. I'm just an ordinary cleaner. Just look at the clothes I'm wearing and you'll understand."
Pinocchio paused, slowly looking up at Kuroba Kaito's face, then quickly shook his head in denial, "It's clearly the Princess. Pinocchio will never be fooled."
Pinocchio's voice rose and fell, and he was sure that Kuroba Kaito was the princess he was talking about.
Kuroba Kaito struggled to push Pinocchio away from his legs. "I'm really not a princess. You're mistaken."
Pinocchio was firm in his belief: "Impossible, you are Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Kuroba Kaito felt a little tired and powerless. No matter how he explained, Pinocchio would always call her a princess.
"Your Highness, there's a circus show you've been looking forward to at seven o'clock. Have you forgotten?" Pinocchio counted the time on his phone. "Less than three hours left. You really can't run around any longer."
Circus show?
Kuroba Kaito narrowed his eyes: "Circus Night?"
Pinocchio looked at him strangely: "Yes, Princess, how could you even forget this!"
Kuroba Kaito laughed dryly.
Pinocchio didn't care. He pushed Kuroba Kaito into the castle and said, "Hurry up, hurry up. We can't be late again this time."
Kuroba Kaito weighed the current situation and without further hesitation, entered the castle with Pinocchio.
The candlelight inside the castle was dim, barely illuminating the ground and outlines. Murals hung on the walls of the corridors. A beautiful girl in an exquisite dress sat on the throne. The oil paintings were delicate and solemn.
The candlelight flickered slightly with the angle, illuminating the face in the painting.
Kuroba Kaito's eyes narrowed as he looked along the order of the murals. Judging from their body shapes and clothing, the girls in the portraits were different, but all their faces were eerily similar.
No face.
The wind blew the candles, making faint sounds. The guards in the castle stood upright and silently changed shifts. The parts exposed from the small gaps in their armor were all empty.
Pinocchio had been secretly keeping an eye on Kuroba Kaito, and naturally did not miss the other's puzzled look at the portrait and the guard.
It took the initiative to speak sympathetically: "Princess, are you dissatisfied with these portraits? I will have them replaced right away."
"I said this artist's skills are not good. The painting doesn't look like a princess at all."
Is this a princess?
Kuroba Kaito's eyebrows twitched slightly.
He could still tell whether it was the same person.
"The princess's room is just in front. The circus dresses are already prepared inside. You can try them on to see if they fit you." Pinocchio enthusiastically opened the pink room.
A gorgeous princess dress was displayed in the center of the room.
Pinocchio didn't give Kuroba Kaito a chance to react. He quickly pushed him in and closed the door behind him.
The pink princess room doesn't seem to have anything special at first glance, but a closer look reveals that the wallpaper on the wall is randomly stuck on, the edges and corners are curled up, and the decoration in the room is old and looks like it was pieced together.
The whole room was eerie. It didn't look like a princess's room, but rather like a cage.
Kuroba Kaito touched the fabric of the dress and found that it was just ordinary fabric, not as gorgeous as it looked.
The surrounding windows were closed, and when Kuroba Kaito checked, they were all locked as expected.
I was almost fooled by a series of princesses and forgot that Pinocchio was a liar and a liar.
The lock on the window was easy to open, and Kuroba Kaito opened the window and prepared to jump out and leave.
"What are you doing, Princess?"
A sinister voice came from above his head. Pinocchio was lying on the window above Kuroba Kaito, staring at him gloomily with his wooden face.
Oops, we've been discovered.
Kuroba Kaito climbed over the window sill and stepped on the tiles of the castle, a smile on his face: "Of course, we have to leave here."
Pinocchio's wooden face smiled with a hint of stiffness, and he slowly raised his hand from top to bottom.
"That won't do."
In the sunlight, several white transparent silk threads passed through, quickly and hardly noticeable.
Kuroba Kaito paused, stopped his movement to leave, and walked stiffly back to the pink room.
"What?" His eyes widened slightly, and his body moved involuntarily, completely out of control, with Pinocchio's laughter echoing in his ears.
Oh no.

It was just as he thought, Kidd's nemesis was Edogawa Conan.
Kurokawa Akiho looked at the system warily, fearing that another bomb or murder task box would appear.
Edogawa Conan looked at the foggy town curiously. The town was surrounded by fog, forming a natural closed loop. The sky was gloomy and the sun was not visible, even though it was sunny outside when he just came in.
Misty Town is an immersive reasoning area. The surrounding buildings imitate the architectural style of the Victorian period in the late 19th century. The classical and gorgeous relief buildings and the bustling street scenes seem to be a one-to-one replica of Baker Street. After entering the town, tourists will be given tasks by NPCs. It is a paradise for reasoning enthusiasts and detective fans.
Conan Edogawa admitted that when he was making the plan against Kaito Kid, he was attracted by the model of this small town, so much so that he is now a little excited.
No detective fan who likes Sherlock Holmes can resist the attraction here.
"What? I have a ticket but I can't get in?" Kogoro Mouri confirmed it again and again.
The staff member dressed as an NPC put on an apologetic smile and returned the ticket to Kogoro Mouri.
"I'm sorry, traveler. The town is holding its annual circus, and it's a special period right now. If you're looking to catch a glimpse of the circus stars, you can try your luck at the reception center in the town center."
It was not only Kogoro Mouri who had his ticket refunded; the other tourists encountered the same situation.
The reasoning enthusiasts were full of fighting spirit and rushed to the place mentioned by the NPC.
The enthusiasm of the people around him contrasted with Maori Kogoro, who muttered, "This is too much trouble."
"Xiaolan." Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand.
Mao Lilan noticed Suzuki Sonoko, a look of surprise flashed across her face, and she quickly replied: "Sonoko, here."
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed the two people behind Suzuki Sonoko: "Director Kurokawa and Mr. Amuro are here too."
As the apprentice of Kogoro Mori, Toru Amuro took the initiative to ask to accompany Suzuki Sonoko to the reception, while Akishi Kurokawa went purely to verify his own guess.
By the way, keep an eye on Conan Edogawa, and it would be best if you could control the danger as soon as it happens.
Because it was Suzuki Jirokichi's invitation, he couldn't isolate Edogawa Conan directly, so he had to resort to this last resort.
"Huh? You guys got tickets too?" Suzuki Sonoko asked curiously.
Mao Lilan nodded: "I don't know why my luck suddenly became good. I drew the last three tickets."
Suzuki Sonoko: "As expected of Xiaolan."
[As expected, there is no ticket that Xiaolan cannot draw. 】
【Xiaolan is so lucky, I'm crying with envy.】
【Xiaolan is an old storyteller, so she just casually uses travel vouchers.】
[Some black-faced people don’t even have a guaranteed card draw (pointing and spitting)]
[The little headmaster cat is angry.jpg]
Kurokawa Akishige looked at Mao Li Ran suddenly, his eyes filled with inexplicable warmth.
The European Emperor is actually by my side? !
He knew very well that it was very difficult to draw tickets for the circus. He had put in a lot of effort to control the number of people, but someone actually managed to draw three tickets at once.
"But why don't you go in now that you've got the tickets?" she asked.
"Dad just went to check the tickets and found out that we have to go to the reception center." Mao Lilan replied.
Suzuki Sonoko thought about the special nature of this place, and she suddenly realized: "Oh, that's right, you need to decrypt it to get in, but Xiaolan, you can just follow me through the employee channel, but these three tickets may be wasted."
The puzzle game at the entrance to the circus is just a small challenge. If you can't solve it, you can ask the staff to stamp you to enter.
Maori Kogoro was struggling to decipher the code, but when he heard Suzuki Sonoko's words, he was delighted: "That's great, let's go in quickly."
"But this puzzle seems very interesting." Conan Edogawa looked at the ticket in Kogoro Mouri's hand with eager eyes.
He was really interested in puzzles and wanted a challenge.
Maori Kogoro waved his hand: "What's so fun about this? It can be solved easily."
"Really?" Edogawa Conan looked up with admiration: "Uncle is so powerful, he can definitely take me to see him, right?"
The rainbow fart is just right.
"Well..." Kogoro Mouri touched his head.
"Uncle will surely be able to solve the mystery in three minutes, right? I heard the fastest speed here is ten minutes." Edogawa Conan's baby voice hit the nail on the head for Maori Kogoro, "Uncle is a famous detective, this kind of thing will definitely not be difficult for you."
Kurokawa Akifumi's eyebrows moved slightly, and his eyes fell on Edogawa Conan, who was blowing rainbow farts in a baby voice.
The abacus inside was completely materialized, and it made a crackling sound.
Kogoro Mouri was flattered and agreed to take the decryption route without thinking.
"I've never seen a puzzle solved before." Suzuki Sonoko also became interested.
Toru Amuro also joined in.
Several people concentrated on deciphering the information on the tickets while walking towards the reception center mentioned by the NPC.
Kurokawa Akiho followed behind them, his eyes occasionally falling on Edogawa Conan, and at the same time he refreshed the task bar several times with subtle movements.
So far, so calm.
"You've been watching Conan since the beginning."
A gentle male voice came from his ears, bringing Kurokawa Akishige back from his distracted thoughts.
Amuro Toru maintained just the right amount of curiosity on his face and asked, "What happened to him?"
