This unexpected turn of events was not in Yoruichi Toyama's memory, and he also found it hard to believe that Kaito Kid would so blatantly come to the heavily guarded entrance of a museum.
So he ran with everyone towards the sound of the commotion, not too worried.
Just inside the gate, in front of the luggage storage area, a group of police officers stood in a circle, staring dumbfounded at the scene before them.
"Meow! Meow! Meow meow meow..."
"Laws laps laps laps—"
A dark brown, indistinct mass rolled around everywhere, emitting terrifying howls.
When Yoruichi separated the group, he felt a sense of déjà vu at the scene before him.
"Hikaru, Kotaro-kun..."
"Ah, Watson!" Hakuba Saguru also ran into the circle, abandoning his previous gentle and calm demeanor, and went straight forward, trying to forcibly separate the things that were fighting.
But as soon as he reached out, something scratched him hard, startling him so much that he cried out, "Ouch!"
"Um, Hakuba, is that yours..." Yoruichi Toyama asked, a little embarrassed.
“It’s my eagle, named Watson,” Hakuba Saguru quickly replied. “Strange, he’s usually very obedient.”
"Screech! S ...
As if responding to its master, the eagle, caught up in the excitement of the fight, let out another long cry.
"Meow! Meow meow meow meow..."
[I don't believe it! Even Peng Zhisuke has never dared to act so arrogantly towards me! ...]
Hearing Taro's spirited shouts echo in her mind, Yoruichi Toyama could only helplessly rub her forehead.
After a pause, he and Hakuba Saguru stepped forward again, each taking one side, and forcibly separated the black cat and the eagle, who were locked in fierce combat.
I've probably been scratched countless times.
"Alright, Kotaro-kun, stop right now! We have important business to attend to!" Yoruichi Toyama shouted, restraining the cat's paws.
[Huh? What did you say? Is it Kidd?]
Upon hearing this, Taro's cat body trembled, and then it turned its head 360 degrees to look for the person.
He paused in surprise when he saw Hakuba Saguru holding an eagle in front of him.
“Let me introduce you. This is Hakuba Saguru from Ekoda High School,” Yoruichi Toyama said with a meaningful smile. “This is my cat, Kotaro.”
Before Hakuba could answer, Watson in his arms turned his head and cried out.
[Oh, you dare to insult me! Host, did you hear that? He insulted me!]
Taro immediately started howling again, struggling and flailing his arms in Yoruichi Toyama's arms.
But in just a moment, the cat froze, its head turning around frame by frame like a toy or a horror movie, tilting towards Yoruichi Toyama.
Who are you talking about? Hakuba Saguru? What's he doing here?
I had another question for you! ...
Yoruichi Toyama had no time for a heart-to-heart talk with him, and could only smile apologetically at Saguru Hakuba.
"Excuse me, Kotaro prefers birds, and he and our Pengnosuke... oh, I mean, owl, fight every day."
"I see." Hakuba Saguru grabbed the wings of the eagle in his arms and nodded with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"Toyama-kun, do you really like keeping pets?"
"Well... not really." Toyama Yoichi thought to himself, "You have no idea how I raise these two," and casually petted the cat.
"That guy's a troublemaker, he's a constant source of worry for me. As for Pengzhi..."
Thinking of the Greywood Owl's former owner, Yoruichi Toyama pursed her lips, feeling a bitter taste in her mouth.
"They're friends... cough, someone else's children. I'm just a sucker who took over their care, haha, haha!"
Thinking he was joking, Hakuba Saguru turned his gaze back to the black cat.
"Speaking of which, is Kotaro-kun the cat who's said to find bombs?"
Yoichi Toyama was taken aback for a moment, then realized that Hakuba Saguru had also heard about the bombing at the video game company from the police.
So he chuckled.
"Yes, it's him. And—"
He paused deliberately, as if to keep someone in suspense, before continuing slowly.
"Kotaro-kun can find more than just bombs... he can also find Kid..."
...
On the night of March 31, 23:11.
That is, less than an hour before the time of the visit announced by Kaito Kid.
Hakuba Saguru, Conan, Yoruichi Toyama, and even Akechi, who had just met at the museum during the day, all gathered together and waited.
“I know Kaito Kid quite well. If he sent out a notice, he won’t fail to show up.”
Bai Ma explained to everyone.
"But since it's an April Fool's joke, he probably won't actually make a move this time. Instead, he'll just show off in front of us and then leave."
"But he has to have the ability," Conan said confidently.
Although Hakuba Saguru deduced together that Kid would appear on the top floor of the Beika Hotel, Hakuba Saguru was still a little surprised that Conan followed alone.
"Little brother, are you sure you can act without Mr. Mori?"
As mentioned during the day, Kogoro still refused to give up his reasoning, insisting that Kid came from the direction of the event center where Ms. Okino Yoko was holding a concert.
The tea plantation manager, however, still identified the area along the Timujin River as the location.
Therefore, the police force was divided into three parts and deployed in these three locations, just waiting for Kidd to appear so that they could launch a concentrated attack.
Conan chuckled like a child.
"I have confidence in myself, and I also have confidence in Brother White Horse."
You don't seem to have that much faith in the sleeping Kogoro.
Hakuba Saguru didn't expose their shortcomings. Instead, he straightened up and turned his gaze to Akechi, who was standing a little behind them, watching the whole thing with his hands in his pockets.
