He was still wearing a red dress, but he had the appearance of a handsome young man.
Everyone present couldn't help but let out a soft gasp.
"I am!"
Kaito Kuroba, the second Kaito Kid who inherited his father's name, revealed his identity to everyone with a confident smile.
At the same time, she stretched out a hand, pointing directly at Yoruichi Toyama on the other side.
"Inspector Nakamori, I surrender to you."
"However, you absolutely must not let him go!"
"Who...who is he?" Inspector Nakamori asked, bewildered.
However, they didn't forget to have people surround both of them.
"As for me..." Yoruichi Toyama chuckled, removing another mask to reveal her true appearance.
Aside from the slight stinging from the scratches on my hands from the playing cards, the entire plan was successfully completed.
Yoruichi Toyama forced a smile despite the pain.
The plan had already taken shape in his mind when he was preparing this double-layered disguise mask.
At first, Taro thought he was going to pretend to help Kid escape, but after learning the real plan, he had a big fight with him.
While understanding the spirits' concerns about her mission, Yoruichi Toyama decided to stick to her principles.
Allowing a minor to use a dual identity as a thief every day, even if it only wastes the negligible police resources of Inspector Nakamori, is not within his tolerance.
A crime is a crime, no matter who it is, the severity of the crime, or whether it harms others. None of these are valid reasons to ignore it.
As Kaito Kuroba walked towards Inspector Nakamori without resistance, Saguru Hakuba and Conan, who had been hiding in the shadows waiting for their chance, also came out and high-fived Yoruichi Toyama.
"This is a trap we set for Phantom Thief Kid," Hakuba Saguru explained to the bewildered Inspector Nakamori.
"Yuanshan said that this method could be used to force Kidd to admit his identity, and we were a little skeptical at the time."
"No, wait!" Kaito Kuroba, who was already under police control, suddenly shouted, "Don't be fooled by him!"
"He...he's the one who's been hiding the deepest secrets!"
Hakuba Saguru gave him a slightly displeased look.
"Kuroba... no, Kid, I didn't expect you to be such a sore loser!"
"No!" Faced with his old rival's sarcasm, Kaito Kuroba did not back down, but shouted even louder.
"Hakuba, I'm asking you, do you know why I became Phantom Thief Kid?"
No, I can't say, I can't say it now...
However, we can't let that person get away with it...
Hakuba Saguru's eyebrows twitched, as if he were deep in thought.
"You don't know, do you? You think I just have a penchant for crime?"
"But the real reason, he—" Kaito Kuroba pointed resolutely at Yoruichi Toyama again, "—he knows!"
"White Horse, how long have you known him? Do you fully understand his background?"
"How do you know he isn't...?"
"He's not!" A young, childlike voice suddenly spoke firmly.
Conan, with his short legs, walked up to the crowd.
"Yoruichi-nii, although he may seem unreliable and a half-baked detective, he is definitely a good person with a strong sense of justice!"
"No, hello..." Yoruichi Toyama coughed.
For a moment, it was unclear whether the kid was speaking up for himself or publicly insulting others.
Inspector Nakamori, who recognized Conan, was even more confused.
You can't believe everything a primary school student says, so Inspector Nakamori searched for Kogoro Mouri in the crowd.
"Uh, Mr. Mori, this little boy is yours..."
"Yes, Conan is my assistant, that's for sure." Kogoro, realizing that Conan had done a great job again, quickly stated his position.
The medal of honor belongs to you and me.
But I'll accept all the commission fees from the Suzuki Foundation, haha!
Kogoro once again felt that raising Conan was a huge win.
I also want to thank Xiaolan for taking him home that night...
"Hey, Ran, where's Ran?" Thinking of his daughter, Kogoro lost all interest in defending anyone and wished he could grab Kaito Kuroba and shake him.
“Miss Mori is in the lounge over there,” Kaito Kuroba answered readily. “She’s fine, she just needs to sleep for a while.”
"Then, Nakamori Police Department..."
Still unable to grasp the whole situation, Inspector Nakamori decided to lash out with a fierce gesture.
"Take both of them back for questioning!"
"Hello!"
"Nakamori Police Department!"
Seeing the police surrounding them, Yoruichi Toyama smiled and pressed down on Hakuba Saguru's shoulder.
"Don't get agitated. I think Inspector Nakamori's actions were justified."
"Isn't it the kind of plot where the detective sets a trap and the police take the criminal away without asking any questions that deserves to be criticized?"
As he spoke, he grabbed Pengzhisuke's wing, ignoring the owl's struggles, and handed it to Hakuba Saguru.
"Please take care of Pengzhi for a few days, as for..."
Thinking of Taro, I realized that he had everything he needed in his apartment, so he probably didn't have to worry too much.
However, capturing Kaito Kuroba is not my only goal!
...
The Suzuki Foundation's anniversary celebration concluded successfully as the Queen Celeste arrived in Tokyo port.
Having not only preserved the family heirloom black pearl, but also witnessed the historic moment of capturing Phantom Thief Kid, Chairman Suzuki's life was truly fulfilling. He personally saw the detectives off, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.
Hakuba Saguru, who was also among those thanked, seemed rather unenthusiastic.
Seeing his classmate and old rival being handcuffed by the police along with his new friend, he felt something was off.
