The world seemed to fall silent at that moment, utterly still.
After a long while, as if receiving some kind of command, the fire dragon opened its mouth and spat out Koizumi Akako.
Then, its body began to become transparent, and finally it turned back into a ball of flame and flew towards Osaka.
Meanwhile, Koizumi Akako lay motionless on the ground, panting heavily. Her original clothes had been burned to ashes, revealing her fair skin and graceful figure, presenting a beautiful sight.
A gentle breeze blew by, bringing a touch of coolness.
"Miss Akako, Miss Akako, are you alright?"
After the fire dragon flew away, the servants and stewards below the castle shouted anxiously.
"roll!"
"Yes, Miss Hongzi."
The servants and stewards rolled into the castle.
"Waaaaah~"
Koizumi Akako looked around and found herself all alone. Finally, she couldn't help but cover her face and sob.
From childhood to adulthood, she had always been a high and mighty witch, and had never suffered such a great injustice.
She desperately wanted to cry out loud, but she didn't dare to actually cry.
Because if a witch sheds tears, she will lose all her magic.
She could only use red magic to change herself into a gorgeous witch outfit.
"Yusuke Kusunoki, I will never let you get away with this!"
...
"As expected of the witch, she has been nurtured by spiritual energy since childhood, and her figure is quite good." Yu Sheng Nan smiled, his gaze lingering on Koizumi Akako on the screen.
He was standing by the window, one hand opening a folding fan to catch the flying flames, the other holding his phone, watching the video playing with great interest.
Just now, there was more than just a small flame flying towards Dongdu; it was also accompanied by an extremely stealthy stealth drone.
Beautiful moments are always worth recording.
"Oh, we've been spotted!"
As the screen went black, Yuzuru's smile widened.
He didn't expect this not-so-advanced technology to keep filming indefinitely. He only managed to fool her because the fire dragon provided cover and distracted Koizumi Akako.
You should know that she is the only superhuman in the world.
"Where...where is this?"
Nakamori Ginzo, who had been unconscious in the room, woke up.
Upon hearing the voice, Yuzuru turned around and replied calmly, "Officer Nakamori, you're awake. This is a warehouse."
"The warehouse?" Nakamori Ginzo looked at the boy in front of him, trying hard to recall what had happened before, when suddenly he had a jolt of realization, "Where's Kaito Kid?"
"He ran away."
Yuzuru walked to the table next to him, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for himself and Nakamori Ginzo.
Don't overthink it. The reason I'm being so nice is simply because I respect this police officer who has repeatedly fought against Phantom Thief Kid but never given up. I have absolutely no other intentions.
"Damn it, I fell for that guy's trick again!"
Nakamori Ginzo angrily took the tea, drank a sip, and then punched the armrest of the chair in frustration.
"The Egg of Memories couldn't be preserved after all. How am I going to explain this to President Suzuki now...?"
"No, not at all. Although Kidd escaped, we managed to retrieve the Egg of Memories. Inspector Nakamori, you deserve a lot of credit." Hanyu Nan smiled at Nakamori Ginzo's bitter face and pointed to the box on the table.
"What?"
Overjoyed, Nakamori Ginzo rushed to the table to check, and after confirming that the Egg of Memories was indeed still there, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Back then, I confidently declared at the conference that capturing Phantom Thief Kid was my top priority, and the Egg of Memories was my second priority.
If Kidd isn't caught now, and the Egg of Memories is lost, then I'll really be in a difficult situation.
Thinking of this, Nakamori Ginzo felt a chill of fear, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
After learning the whole story from the police officers who came to his aid, Nakamori Ginzo gratefully shook Hanyu Nan's hand. "Hanyu-kun, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, this mission would probably have ended in failure."
"It's nothing, it's what I should do. The police and the people are one family." Yu Shengnan responded with a smile, looking exactly like a model citizen, humble and polite.
We're all family, no need to be so polite.
Nakamori Ginzo paused slightly, then nodded emphatically and said, "Yes, the police and the people are one family!"
He looked at the handsome, gentle-looking young man in front of him, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.
I couldn't help but admire him; this child is truly outstanding!
If his daughter didn't already have someone she liked, he would have insisted on introducing the two of them.
This way, we'll have an ally when dealing with Kidd in the future.
...
Because of Conan's timely alert, the waters near Osaka Bay are now filled with police ships and helicopters.
They are conducting a full-scale search for the Phantom Thief Kid, who may have been shot and fallen into the water.
We demand to see the person alive or dead, and give the citizens of Osaka, who are already in a state of agitation and have yet to receive a call, a clear explanation.
Meanwhile, in a secluded warehouse in Osaka Bay, Kaito, covering his swollen right eye, asked the man in police uniform in front of him, "Hiss~ Grandpa Terai, what are you doing here?"
"It was Madam who was worried that something might happen to you during this mission, so she specially sent me to meet you."
Terai Kinosuke tore off his disguise, revealing his true self, and said worriedly, "Young Master, let's abandon this operation. This time, guns were used; someone really wants you dead."
Upon hearing these words, Kaito's face darkened.
The other party really wanted to kill him. He was lucky that he remembered to pick up his glasses while running away, otherwise he would have been meeting his father by now.
Kaito took a deep breath. "Grandpa Terai, I can't give up like this. This matter is not so simple. I must find out who wants to kill me."
Do you all think you're easy targets?
How come I, the legendary Phantom Thief Kid, who has roamed the world for so long, can now be bullied by anyone?
Before Terai Kinosuke could stop him, Kaito continued, "Where's my mom? What's she doing right now?"
"Madam went out tonight and hasn't returned yet. Young Master, are you really not going to reconsider? Madam doesn't want anything to happen to you."
Terai Kinosuke looked troubled, wanting to try and persuade the stubborn Kaito again.
After all, when the master passed away, he asked me to take good care of the young master.
"My mind is made up, not only for myself, but also for the reputation of Phantom Thief Kid."
Hearing that his mother wasn't there, Kaito felt much relieved. Otherwise, given his mother's personality, she would definitely have locked him up at home and wouldn't have allowed him to go out for a while.
He planned to go back and find Koizumi Akako to get to the bottom of things, and then come back to avenge the shooting.
If we can't afford to offend those two eccentric big shots, Yuzuru Hanyu and Akako Koizumi, then surely we can at least afford to offend an assassin who only dares to shoot from the shadows!
