Phantom Thief Kid
Yoruichi Toyama glanced at it once and then handed it to Hakuba Saguru, who was standing next to him.
“Huh, Toyama, you… he…” Sonoko was completely puzzled by this action.
But the prospect of bringing in a handsome guy like Hakuba Saguru made it impossible for her to refuse.
Yoruichi Toyama smiled and shrugged.
"I've never been good at wordplay, so I'd like to ask Hakuba-kun for help."
"I think Hakuba-kun didn't come here just to see the legendary Black Pearl, did he?"
Hakuba Saguru, who was already studying the notice, looked up and smiled when he heard this.
"Toyama-kun, why do you say that?"
"In my opinion, there probably aren't many high school students who are interested in jewelry, right?" Yoruichi Toyama casually made up a reason.
The key point is, who doesn't know that you and Phantom Thief Kid are best buddies who love and hate each other?
"Furthermore, Hakuba-kun is very good at deduction, so it's more believable that he was attracted by Kaito Kid."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Sonoko's face lit up with pink bubbles once again.
"Hakuba... are you a detective too? Like Shinichi Kudo?"
“Yes, I’ve heard of Shinichi Kudo,” Hakuba Saguru nodded in reply. “I would be very happy to have the opportunity to spar with him in person.”
Yoruichi Toyama suppressed a laugh and casually ruffled Conan's big head.
Being challenged to his face but unable to respond, and having his carefully researched announcement letter taken away, Conan is now looking very unhappy, staring at Yoruichi Toyama with narrowed eyes.
"Laugh! What are you laughing at?"
"I wanted to ask the little detective, you've been staring at that notice for so long, have you solved the mystery yet?"
As far as I remember, Conan really solved the problem, but this time Kid just made a feint, and neither of them gained any advantage.
So Yoruichi Toyama was planning to lie down and relax.
He wants to increase his favorability with Kid. Is it useful to capture Kid?
Is Kidd also a masochist, believing that those who dare to offend the emperor will be rewarded?
However, Hakuba Saguru was an exception.
Of all the characters Yoruichi Toyama was originally the hardest to win over.
Because he appeared too little and had no connection to the main plot.
Even if Yoruichi Toyama wanted to get to know him in advance, she didn't know where to find him.
I can't exactly ask Akechi to take me to the Superintendent General's house for a free meal, can I?
The fact that Hakuba has appeared earlier than expected is probably because the previous plot developments have caused some changes in the timeline.
So let him take the lead in capturing Kidd?
And then what about yourself? Help Kidd escape?
And what about Conan? ...
Yoruichi Toyama realized that the situation was a bit chaotic.
If you can't figure out how to act, just wait and see.
Conan stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.
"I think I've got a clue, but I still need to verify it..."
"When the moon separates the two..." Hakuba Saguru suddenly said, "If the moon here refers to a real celestial body, then it means that at night the moon moves between two other celestial bodies."
"And the black star, besides referring to this black pearl, may also have other meanings."
Conan nodded: "That's what I thought too. Black Star, abbreviated as BS, probably refers to BS Broadcasting and Satellite Television Company. So the previous sentence refers to the time when BS satellite television would be interrupted when the moon was exactly between the artificial satellite and the sun..."
When this topic comes up, the elementary school detective becomes animated, as if he's in a world of his own.
Hakuba Saguru, who was not familiar with him, stared at him with some curiosity.
"Uh, Conan is Uncle Mori's assistant, and he's very capable." Yoruichi Toyama quickly added, "Uncle Mori's current fame is largely thanks to Conan's constant assistance."
“Yes, the police had Conan tested by a professional organization, and his IQ is much higher than that of his peers.” Ran proudly introduced, referring to herself as the older sister and guardian.
"I see." Hakuba Saguru nodded, seemingly accepting the explanation for the time being, even if he still had doubts.
"So, if 'above the waves' refers to radio waves..."
“That’s the radio signal from BS satellite TV, and the transmission direction should be…” Conan quickly continued, but then hesitated, “We need to check that.”
“That’s right, the direction from which the radio waves were emitted should be the direction from which Phantom Thief Kid came.” Hakuba Saguru smiled and bent down. “You’re very clever, little brother.”
"Ah, ah... it's alright..." Conan quickly put on a smug, childish expression. "These little tricks are nothing to worry about."
"Conan really enjoys reading encyclopedias, doesn't he?" Ran chimed in with a compliment.
Then he hesitated.
"However, the reasoning I just gave is different from what Officer Chaki and my father said..."
"Then please ask the police to send more people and set up defenses in these places!" Sonoko, the young lady from a prestigious family, said casually.
"With so many detectives this time, I'm sure we can successfully keep that Phantom Thief Kid here!"
"Oh, I really want to see what he looks like..."
Seeing Sonoko's sparkling eyes, all the detectives present, except for Conan, coughed in unison.
“Miss, I’m afraid you may not be able to get what you want.” Hakuba Saguru remained as polite as ever, handing the notice back to her.
