Chapter 531
Kaito Kid exclaimed in surprise, "How did I become related to him?!"
Even Usoppei paused for a second: "Don't you have any thoughts on your father faking his death?"
Kaito Kid's lips twitched: "Uh...you have to prove you're telling the truth first, right? You might not even know who I am..."
It sounds very unbelievable that he suddenly talks about his father and his relatives!
He had heard the great detective say that this Usaku Saiki loved to make jokes that nobody found funny... and now it seemed that they were indeed not funny at all.
Usakabe Saiki blinked: "I already said you and Shinichi are related, which means I know you look alike..."
"Because you know that I was impersonating Shinichi Kudo and my face was pinched without being exposed, right? Maybe that's why I thought of making this kind of joke."
Kaito Kid is quite clever; he probably lies to people all the time, so he's not easily fooled.
Usakabe Saiki fell into deep thought: "Hmm, so that's what you think."
Kaito Kid didn't dwell on the topic any further, and said with a sense of mission, "The clothes problem is solved, but what about all this jewelry you're wearing? Take it off and give it to me now."
Usoppai put his hands behind his back, actually to redeem a bag from the system space, then set the jewelry redemption location he had already set in the bag, and then took it out from behind his back and handed it to Kaito Kid.
When Kaito Kid opened it, he found that it was the same jewelry as the ones worn by Saiki Usaba.
Kaito Kid: "...Where did you put your bag? I can't see it. And you even have a technique I can't figure out? And why did you buy two sets of this?"
It wasn't that I particularly liked any one item, so I bought an extra set; rather, it was all those other odds and ends I already owned, so I bought an extra set of everything!
So you have too much money to burn, you buy two sets, one to wear and one to keep as a collectible, right?
Bo Yezaki raised an eyebrow: "Who said there were only two sets?"
Over the years, he had been drawing lucky bags every day, and he had drawn so many duplicate items that he was too lazy to exchange them and just put them in his system space. Now, however, they came in handy.
Kaito Kid was shocked: "Three sets or even more...?"
Two sets are fine, but this level is beyond his comprehension... Oh well, it seems to be in his favor for now.
After all, a normal person would think that this set of jewelry would make it more difficult for him to disguise himself than others, and he might mess things up during the operation. In addition, since Usaku Saiki's face had already been pinched, everyone would subconsciously lower their guard.
While Usaku Saiki was changing his soiled clothes, Kaito Kid also finished his disguise and put on all those odds and ends. He felt like a walking jewelry stand, and he was worried that some of his mechanisms would get stuck by these things.
Having done enough, Phantom Thief Kid took out a mirror and looked at himself.
Bo Yezaki kindly reminded him: "I'm taller than you, so you can use your step stool."
"I know about that!" Phantom Thief Kid sneered. "What will you do if I go over there in your place later?"
“Me? Of course I’m going home.” Bo Yezai said matter-of-factly. “You want me to wait here for you until midnight? Are you kidding me?”
Kaito Kid blushed: "Huh? What if other people ask..."
Usoba Saiki coldly said, "Oh, if you ask, I'll just say I told Hattori that I really wanted to go home and take a shower. It turns out that Hattori might have been Kaito Kid in disguise."
Kaito Kid was immediately annoyed: "Why do I always have to take the blame for you! You already did that with the airship before—"
"I have a few tricks to help you get rid of your doubts."
Kaito Kid respectfully replied, "Please speak."
"If Hattori becomes suspicious of you, tell him that if he doesn't confess to Kazuha today, he'll fall far behind Shinichi, and then analyze Kazuha's attitude with him."
Kaito Kid nodded: "So they're not together yet. I almost misunderstood. Luckily, I didn't disguise myself as that little girl... What if the great detective suspects me?"
Bo Yezaki had already packed his belongings and was ready to leave: "Oh, when the time comes, just say that you suggest going back and asking his father about the current situation of his brother, who is surnamed Hei Yu. He will definitely be shocked that his father actually has a brother."
Kaito Kid, the Phantom Thief: "!!!"
Huh?! Wait a minute!!!
Not only was the great detective shocked, he was shocked too!!!
Doesn't this already know his last name?! Then why was Bo Yezaki silent when he asked earlier?!
This isn't even a question of whether it's funny or not; the biggest problem is that this isn't a joke at all!
So, his dad might really have been faking his death, and he and Shinichi Kudo might actually be related?! That's why they look so alike!? Huh? Is that so?!
The topic, which seemed to be over just moments ago, suddenly came back to haunt him, catching Phantom Thief Kid completely off guard and causing him to break apart.
When Kaito Kid recovered from his shock, he realized that Usui Saiki was about to leave, so he quickly stopped him: "Wait a minute, explain yourself first..."
"Explain what? I was just joking." Usoya Saiki shook off his arm. "Alright, I'm leaving now while there are a lot of customers and no one is paying attention. Good luck to you. If you don't get back soon, Hattori Heiji will really start to get suspicious. Bye-bye."
Kaito Kid froze.
The importance of the plan and the family drama began to waver in his mind, but in the end, it was Conan Edogawa's words that made him make up his mind.
I should prioritize my own plans, after all, the original owner of the gemstone's grandmother is about to be buried, and as for Usui Saiki...
According to the great detective, the more he shows concern, the more fun Usaku Saiki will have, and it's unlikely he'll tell him what's going on in a short time; he might even try to toy with him.
Anyway, he already knows Bo Ye Zaiji's identity. He can ask Bo Ye Zaiji if he still has any questions after he finishes his investigation!
Keep a calm mind, keep a calm mind...
Kaito Kid gave himself a pep talk, barely managing to suppress his turbulent emotions, and headed towards Hattori Heiji, intending to meet up with them as Usui Saiki.
But halfway there, I couldn't help but punch my thigh.
If only he had believed what Usakata Saiki said the first time! The second time, the timeline was so tight, there wasn't even time to ask anything!
Kaito Kid felt his emotions were still hard to calm down. This was probably the most emotionally intense action he had ever taken since his first time as Kaito Kid!
Hopefully nothing goes wrong...
Usakabe Saiki didn't care about Kaito Kid's life or death at all. He said he was going home and he really went home. Anyway, the main reason he came here was because his body was rusty and he came out for a walk. He didn't come here to see Kaito Kid at all.
When Rei Furuya came to his house to cook, he was quite puzzled and wondered if there was something wrong: "I saw on the news that the Phantom Thief Kid trailer is for tonight, why are you back so early?"
Usoya Saiki: "My clothes are dirty. I'm going home to take a shower."
Rei Furuya took it seriously and began contributing his trust points: "I see. By the way, Rum has been getting quite close to Kogoro Mouri lately, and seems to be paying attention to Conan Edogawa as well."
"The efficiency is quite high." Bo Yezhaiji pondered.
"After all, he's the second-in-command. If he really had no ability at all, the things he messed up would be enough for him to atone with his death."
Rei Furuya reminded Saiki Usui not to underestimate Rum just because he's being punished now, as Rum is truly capable: "If we do nothing, he might soon discover that Conan Edogawa is acting strangely."
Bo Ye Zaiji sighed: "Actually, I think you don't need to rush... Okay, but I've already gone out today, I'll go take a look in a couple of days."
Jianggu Ling: "…………"
What time is it?! Still being lazy?!
Is Usakabe Saiki really trying to cause trouble? Or is he just trying to fool him?!
Rei Furuya's alertness rose once again.
He now felt as if he was the only one who was anxious, while Bo Yezaki wasn't anxious, worried, or even indifferent at all!
What kind of new prank is this?!
Furuya Rei anxiously contributed a whole night of suspicion points, while Usui Saiki slept soundly until noon the next day after dinner. When he woke up, he saw a bunch of missed calls on his phone, all from Edogawa Conan.
The call was answered quickly by Conan Edogawa: "Usui-nii!!!"
"Hmm." Bo Yezaki yawned lazily. "What's wrong?"
Conan Edogawa got angry when he heard Usaku Saiki's nonchalant attitude.
What else could it be?! What else could it be?! How could Bo Ye help Kaito Kid?!
He didn't see it at first glance yesterday, and by the time he came to his senses, Bo Ye had already changed his shirt. Heiji Hattori said it was because a passerby had dirtied his clothes. He looked at the pile of messy jewelry and thought it would be very difficult to prepare such things on the spot, so he couldn't suppress his suspicion.
Then, around midnight, "Brother Bo Ye" suddenly said that he couldn't find a bracelet, which might have fallen into the room with the gemstone, and asked him to go and look for it.
Conan Edogawa asked irritably, "Aren't you going to look for your own bracelet?"
"Thin Leaf Bro" sighed: "Alright, let's look for it together."
It has to be said that Kaito Kid actually grasped Usopp's personality quite well, and even knew how to use Usopp's personality to play hard to get... However, Conan Edogawa is no ordinary person, and he immediately became suspicious of "Usopp".
Because "Brother Thin Leaf" is too easy to talk to, normally it would take at least two rounds of persuasion before we go together... And why does he have to look for the bracelet today? Can't we do it tomorrow?!
Conan Edogawa had his suspicions, but as was his habit, he pretended to be unaware, intending to catch them red-handed, so he went along with it.
As they were almost there, "Brother Bo Ye" suddenly said, "By the way, go back and ask your dad what the situation is like at his brother's house now."
Conan Edogawa was completely dumbfounded.
This sudden bomb-dropping tactic is so reminiscent of Saiki Usaba!
"My dad has an older brother? How come I didn't know that... Wait, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
"Bo Ye" paused for a moment, then said, "Because I suspect you and Phantom Thief Kid are related."
Conan Edogawa: "...!!!"
That's so unlike Kaito Kid! Only someone with a screw loose would talk about something like that!
Moreover, this inexplicable method of determining other people's blood relations feels just like Bo Ye Ge!
It turned out that this guy was indeed Kaito Kid...
Conan Edogawa felt there was something wrong with this, so he went to confront Usaku Saiki.
"Hahaha, he actually told you that? He trusts you way too much that you wouldn't cheat, doesn't he?"
Bo Yezaki laughed so hard he seemed to have sobered up: "The level of mutual trust between you two far exceeds the level of mutual trust between him and his father!"
"He probably thinks that even if he doesn't tell, you'll tell me if it's true, right? Don't be ridiculous, I was almost scared to death yesterday," Conan Edogawa exclaimed. "I just asked my mom, and she said she'd never heard of it... Even if you want to help Kaito Kid, there's no need to teach him to lie like that, is there?"
"That's because you asked your mother," Bo Yezaki said matter-of-factly. "Try asking your father! I've never been wrong when I test kinship!"
Conan Edogawa: "???"
Just as he was about to raise his questions, a phone call suddenly came in from Bo Yezhaiji.
Usoya Saiki: "Wait a minute, I need to take another call... Hello? What's up?"
Rei Furuya managed to get through to Saiki Usaba on the phone, but remained silent for several seconds.
Bo Yezhai asked, bewildered, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
“…Rum,” Rei Furuya said softly, “Rum, he…”
"Um?"
"He's dead, did you do it?" This was just brought up last night, and it's already settled today. That's incredibly efficient.
Bo Yezaki: "...???"
Wait... he hadn't even had a chance to do anything yet! How did Rum die?!
--------------------
Well, it can't be said that it's completely unrelated to thin leaves (...
But what Bo Ye really wanted to do, he hadn't had time to do yet.
Rei Furuya: That was incredibly efficient!!! I was presumptuous last night!
Thin leaves: ? ? ?
