"I don't know yet. I ran downstairs as soon as I heard the sound..." Kaito Kuroba looked even more unnatural as he saw the suspicious looks on everyone's faces.
He didn't dare go over to check the situation just now because he was afraid of being suspected.
Before I could figure out a solution, I saw everyone else running down the street.
Why do I feel like I'm going to be the scapegoat?
"Oh, is that so?" Yuzuru gave Ran a knowing look, then walked toward the corpse.
When he reached the body, Yu Shengnan knelt down. Although he knew the person was dead, he still felt the pulse.
After confirming, Hanyu Nan stood up, shook his hands, looked at the panicked crowd, and calmly said, "Mr. Hamano has passed away." Then, Hanyu Nan looked around and added, "Besides the footprints I just left, there are no other traces here."
"Judging from this situation, it seems that only someone with wings could commit this crime!" Yuzuru concluded thoughtfully.
“It’s impossible to commit a crime!” Araki murmured in shock.
"Why is it Mr. Hamano?" Naoko Kuroda asked fearfully, glancing at Kaito Kuroba beside her.
At that moment, Kaito Kuroba, who was still thinking about how to complete the crime scene investigation, suddenly realized that everyone was looking at him.
Hey, why are you looking at me?
I'm not the murderer!
"Heh... Didn't Mr. Yuzuru say that people without wings can't commit this kind of crime?" Kaito Kuroba chuckled twice, pointing to his chubby body. "With a figure like mine, how could I possibly commit a crime without leaving a single trace?"
“Yes, with Mr. Doi’s physique, how could there be no trace of anything?” Araki Yoshino was initially a little skeptical, but after hearing Kuroba Kaito’s words and looking at the other man’s round and fat figure, he nodded in agreement.
The others nodded in agreement; it certainly didn't look like the trunk of the Doi Tak tree.
"Hehe, I'm talking about crimes that people without wings can't commit, but what about people with wings?" Yuzuru's voice rang out with a hint of amusement.
Kaito Kuroba stared wide-eyed at Nanami Hanyu in disbelief.
Kaito Kuroba's heart raced, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The mocking expression on Yuu Nan's face sent a chill down Kuroba Kaito's spine.
"H-Mr. Yuzuru, what do you mean... How can someone have wings!" Kaito Kuroba stammered, his voice full of fear and confusion.
He sensed that things were spiraling out of control.
As Hanyu Nan approached step by step, Kuroba Kaito's heart grew increasingly flustered.
He certainly understood what Yuzuru meant, and he knew that the other party might already know his true identity!
"This is going to be difficult..." Kaito Kuroba thought to himself, feeling a sense of foreboding.
He's just a petty thief who likes to steal jewels; he didn't kill anyone!
This charge is too serious; he can't afford to take it.
At this moment, Kaito Kuroba is caught in a dilemma.
If he runs away, it would be tantamount to admitting that he is the Phantom Thief Kid, and since he is the only one with wings at the scene, all the blame would fall on him.
But if he doesn't run away, once he's caught, it will be difficult for him to escape, given his status as Phantom Thief Kid.
Kaito Kuroba felt as if his legs were filled with lead, and he couldn't move them at all.
My mind went blank; I didn't know how to deal with the situation.
"Damn it... This is a huge problem..." Kaito Kuroba muttered to himself, his heart filled with despair and helplessness.
"Of course there are, like Kaito Kid!" Yuzuru Hanyu smiled wickedly and slowly walked towards Kaito Kuroba, who was standing there in a daze.
This was a spectacular performance he specially prepared for Kaito Kuroba.
Kaito Kuroba, what will you choose next?
"Phantom Thief Kid!"
"Mr. Doi Tou is actually Kaito Kid!"
Kaito Kuroba looked at the surprised stares of everyone around him, then glanced at Nanami Hanyu who was about to walk up to him. He bit his lip hard and crushed the smoke bomb in his hand.
As a wisp of smoke slowly dissipated, in the blink of an eye, Doi Takuki's chubby body vanished before everyone's wide eyes, replaced by the phantom thief Kid, dressed in snow-white clothes and wearing a white cloak.
"Hanyu Nan, I don't know what your purpose is in doing this, but I definitely didn't kill anyone!" Kuroba Kaito completely ignored the strange looks around him, staring coldly at Hanyu Nan in front of him, and said firmly.
"Wait a moment, turn around!" Seeing that Kuroba Kaito had made his choice, Yuu Nan's lips curled up imperceptibly, and he chuckled softly, pointing to the direction behind Kuroba Kaito.
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba reflexively turned his head.
However, as soon as he turned around, Kaito Kuroba suddenly became flustered.
He quickly waved his trench coat, trying to cover his face.
"Yes, yes, that's it, look at the camera!" Yuzuru Nan didn't continue walking forward, but stood still, arms crossed, smiling as he looked at Xiaolan, who was holding up her phone and giving him an OK sign.
It turns out that all of this was a plan that Yuzuru and Ran had discussed in advance.
As they walked out of there, whenever they heard Yuzuru call out the name "Kaito Kid," Ran would immediately pick up her phone and film Doi Takaki.
"Is this really that interesting? I already said I didn't kill anyone!" After a moment of panic, Kuroba Kaito finally realized that he had been filmed.
Kaito Kuroba's eyes turned icy cold as he stared intently at Nanami Hanyu, as if trying to see right through her.
“Go explain these things to the police.” Yuzuru walked to Ran’s side, checked the video footage, and then looked up and continued, “You’re not trying to run away, are you? Phantom Thief Kid!”
Everyone present silently took out their phones and started taking pictures of Kaito Kuroba.
Faced with the flashing lights, Kaito Kuroba's heart sank.
Kaito Kuroba clenched his fists tightly, trying to keep himself calm.
He knew he couldn't panic; he had to find a way out of this predicament.
"Who said I'm Kaito Kid? I am Lupin III!" After glancing at Kikue Tanaka, who was taking pictures of him with her phone, Kaito Kuroba launched his hang glider into the cold wind.
Kaito Kuroba's heart began to race as he realized he had to contact his mother as soon as possible to seek her help and support.
Only his mother could possibly help him solve this tricky problem.
As Kaito Kuroba flew, he silently prayed in his heart, "Mom, you have to save me! I really didn't mean to get into this trouble..."
...
(You didn't expect that, did you? You were all fooled! My goal wasn't the toy! Another Phantom Thief Kid will be appearing overseas soon!)
