After the bedroom door was closed, Kuroba Chikage slowly turned her head and focused her gaze back on the computer screen.
She gracefully extended one hand, picked up a crystal-clear grape from the fruit plate, put it in her mouth and chewed it gently, while her other hand skillfully manipulated the mouse, clicking it a few times.
The screen kept changing, gradually switching from previous news reports to other pages, and finally settling on a photo.
The boy in the photo is gentle and refined, with a half-smile on his lips that is hard to decipher.
"Yuyu Nan..."
Kuroba Chikage stared at the photo, murmured softly, and then spat out the grape skin from her mouth.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, a glint of something indescribable flashing in them.
This young man was one of the reasons she returned to China.
Previously, she learned that Kaito had been provoked and threatened by Hanyu Nana, so she was determined to return to Japan to resolve the issue and eliminate the potential threat.
However, as the investigation deepened, she discovered that things were not as simple as she had imagined.
Solve the problem?
We should be thankful if the other party doesn't treat them as a nuisance and try to resolve the issue!
As Kuroba Toichi's wife, Kuroba Chikage still has some connections in the country.
After all, Kuroba Toichi is a world-renowned magician. Although he has been "dead" for many years, the connections and resources he left behind are still there, so it is not difficult for Kuroba Chikage to investigate someone's background.
However, after using some favors to obtain some information from Hanyu Nan, Kuroba Chikage was truly at his wit's end!
What kind of weird things are usually surrounding that boy?
It's either a mysterious and unpredictable dark transnational organization, a highly skilled FBI, a deeply secretive public security force, or intelligence organizations from various countries.
Any one of them could easily crush her entire family.
As a result, everyone revolved around Yuzuru, yet they were so tacitly in cahoots that no one dared to make a move easily.
"Just who is this young man?"
Kuroba Chikage's expression kept changing, her mind a complete mess.
The information she received was also incomplete; she only knew that the other party's identity was definitely not simple, but she had no idea exactly how.
This is why Kaito was confined for so many days; Kuroba Chikage was worried that the other party was still keeping an eye on Kaito.
She only has one son, and she can't afford for anything to happen to him.
However, things have been calm these past few days, and nothing unusual has happened.
In addition, Kaito became increasingly restless, causing trouble at home all day long, so Chikage Kuroba softened and let Kaito go out and test the waters today.
If there is no danger, then it proves that what happened before was just a coincidence, and the other party was not deliberately targeting Kaito.
Then she can continue traveling abroad without worry.
...
It's another sunny morning.
"What? You said you saw Phantom Thief Kid?"
The members of the "Daredevil Club," who got up early for school, gathered at the entrance of Teitan School as usual.
Upon hearing the news about Ayumi, everyone looked incredulous, as if they had heard something out of the blue.
"Is it true, Ayumi?!" Genta asked eagerly.
"It's true, he's so cool!" Ayumi excitedly held up her backpack, then glanced at the aloof Ai beside her, adding, "But he's still not as handsome as Yuzuru-nii!"
"What?! Kaito Kid is the Lu Ban of the Heisei era!" Mitsuhiko stood with his hands on his hips, his face flushed, expressing his dissatisfaction and eager to prove his idol. "His magic tricks are simply amazing!"
"snort!"
Conan, who had been quietly listening while playing soccer, snorted coldly. He was still the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era!
I've never seen you guys worship like this before.
"Oh, so you've paid off your debts and are now ready to court disaster again?"
Ai Haibara keenly noticed Conan's movements and made a sarcastic remark.
She didn't care much about Kaito Kid; he was just a thief. Let him try stealing from her house if he dared.
She actually wanted to see if Kaito Kid had the ability to steal something from Yuzuru Hanyu.
"Tch!" Conan, feeling mocked, kicked the soccer ball in front of him far away.
Then, without looking back, he walked towards the teaching building, muttering to himself, "Phantom Thief Kid, just wait to be captured!"
If he can't afford to mess with Yuzuru Hanyu's family, does he think he can't mess with Kaito Kid?
Meanwhile, Kaito, who had just finished breakfast and was walking to school with Nakamori Aoko, had no idea that he had been targeted as an easy target.
...
A few days passed quickly, and Beika Town remained peaceful, except that a few more leaves fell from the trees on the streets, and a few more murders were reported in the Metropolitan Police Department.
Sunlight streamed onto the stone path, carrying a touch of languid charm.
"hateful!"
In the classroom, taking advantage of the brief free time before class started, Sonoko angrily slammed her hand on the desk.
The next moment, he recoiled in pain and pulled his hand back.
Without Xiaolan's skill, one cannot casually perform bare-handed brick breaking.
"Nan~" Sonoko lay on Hanyu Nan's desk, looking aggrieved, and stretched out her reddened hand, saying in a tearful voice, "It hurts!"
Yuzuru smiled slightly, put away his phone which was texting Kazuha, and took out a horse charm to cast on Sonoko.
"Heh, so you can't just slam your fist on the table like that anymore?"
As a pale green light flashed, the redness and swelling on Sonoko's hand quickly subsided.
"What's going on?" Xiaolan, noticing the commotion, came over.
