“That’s right!” Kaito said, getting more and more into it. “This Mr. Yuzuru believes that Ryoma artifacts should be returned to people who truly love history, instead of being used as bait by some people!”
He glanced meaningfully at Tarumi Inohiko and Hanamura Masanosuke, and their expressions immediately turned ugly.
"Nonsense!"
Yuzuru released his grip on Kuroba Chikage's hand, took a step forward with an air of righteous indignation, and said in a firm and powerful voice: "I, Yuzuru, have always abided by the law. How could I possibly collude with thieves?"
Conan: "???"
Hattori Heiji: "???"
You? Obey the law? Don't be ridiculous.
Ignoring what the two great detectives were thinking, Yuzuru continued slowly, "Mr. Kidd, your logic is quite interesting."
As he spoke, a half-smile curled at the corner of his mouth, tinged with mockery, as if he were scrutinizing Kaito's every move. "Can a murderer lay down his knife and instantly become a Buddha? Can a thief return a stolen item and be exonerated as a chivalrous thief?"
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
Kaito's expression also changed.
"Let me tell you a harsh truth."
Yu Shengnan's voice gradually turned cold. "A bad person who has done a thousand bad things is not necessarily a good person just because he has done one good thing. Similarly, a thief who has stolen a thousand treasures and returned one does not mean he is no longer a thief."
"If you're a thief once, you'll be a thief for life!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yuzuru Hanyu pointed a single finger at the bewildered Kidd on the field and delivered his speech in a calm yet imposing manner.
"A thief for generations"—these four words are the best description of Kaito Kid.
The residents of Mihana present felt as if the words had been deafening, as if an echo was reverberating in their ears.
Hmm, there really is an echo...
Ai listened to the echo in her ear, her eyes slightly raised.
You drive this too?
"Well said!" Nakamori Ginzo clapped his hands excitedly. "This is the kind of good son-in-law I've always dreamed of... ah, no, good young man!"
At this moment, his eyes were full of admiration as he looked at Yuu Nan, and he was even considering whether to match him up with Aoko. Such an upright young man with sound values was far superior to Kuroba Kaito, who was always frivolous and never serious!
In Nakamori Ginzo's mind, he had unconsciously come to regard Hanyu Nanasu as the ideal son-in-law.
Conan and Heiji Hattori looked at each other in bewilderment.
What Yuzuru said was indeed very reasonable, with clear logic and powerful words, but it just sounded so strange coming from that guy's mouth.
If they hadn't experienced it firsthand and known what kind of person Yuzuru was, after hearing these words, they would almost have thought that the other party was really a great person with an overflowing sense of justice, who was only interested in upholding justice.
Indeed, hearing is deceiving, only seeing is believing.
(Mirror Flower Water Moon: Yes, yes, you're right!)
Even the little loli Ai almost couldn't keep up her indifferent expression.
But in a sense, Yuzuru Hanyu really is a good person.
Despite possessing the power to destroy the world, he lives the life of an ordinary student, and when he encounters cases that he cannot stand, he will help punish evildoers.
What kind of script is this about a retired demon king in the city?
If I had to point out a flaw, it would be that he's a bit of a womanizer, has too many girlfriends, and enjoys tormenting phantom thieves and detectives in his spare time...
But that's nothing compared to his world-destroying power.
After all, if an ordinary person possessed such power, they wouldn't be like Yuzuru Hanyu, who was willing to follow certain rules when facing ordinary people.
And all of this is thanks to her, Ai Haibara.
Ai crossed her arms and proudly raised her chin.
If she hadn't sacrificed her weak, helpless, and pitiful body to satisfy the Demon King's lust, this world would probably have been destroyed long ago.
So, is it okay to call her the savior?
.........
The local residents at the museum were lost in thought.
The Miwa Girls were completely won over by this "beauty makes sense" statement, their eyes sparkling with hearts:
"Hanyu-kun is so handsome!"
"That's absolutely right!"
"Once a member of Hanyu-kun's group, always a member of Hanyu-kun's group!"
The screams of the girls echoed throughout the exhibition hall.
For teenage girls, looks are everything; whoever is more handsome is considered to have more sense. In their eyes, Yuzuru Hanyu seemed to exude an irresistible charm at that moment.
For the first time, Kaito Kid experienced what it meant to be "betrayed and abandoned by everyone."
There's no way around it, even though Kid is handsome, Hanyu is even more handsome!
Therefore, Douzi was internally devastated at that moment.
Seriously, what's with this cheat-like guy, Yuzuru Nanami, pretending to be a champion of justice?! His harem could practically form a football team!
But now he was in a bind, and could only grit his teeth and continue the performance: "Oh, Mr. Yuzuru, you've already turned your back on me so quickly? That night at..."
"Enough!" Yuzuru interrupted sharply, his acting skills, honed under the influence of his older sister, were worthy of an Oscar. "Officer Nakamori, please arrest this liar thief immediately!"
Nakamori Ginzo immediately ordered the officers to tighten the encirclement: "Kid! This time you're not getting away!"
Upon hearing this, Kaito first glanced at Hanyu Nanami, and seeing that the guy had no intention of making a move, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then, looking at the police officers who had surrounded him, he whistled flippantly: "Officer Nakamori, after all these years, you're still so naive~"
He deliberately dragged out his words, habitually mocking, "Idiot cop can't catch Phantom Thief Kid, isn't that common sense? It's failed so many times before, of course it won't fail this time either~"
The entire audience erupted in uproar, and reporters frantically took photos. This was big news—Kaito Kid had openly insulted the police!
Although the other party had insulted them quite a bit before.
Meanwhile, Kaito on stage got more and more excited as he talked, thinking, "If I can't out-argue Hanyu, can I not out-argue you police officers?"
He vented all his frustration from earlier.
Meanwhile, Qingzi in the audience was trembling with anger.
The girl had only ever heard her father complain about his work, but now, witnessing Kid humiliate her beloved father firsthand, Aoko's blue eyes practically spit fire.
"Kidd... how dare you..."
Aoko's small hands were clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her palms, leaving shallow marks, but she was completely unaware of it.
Kuroba Chikage, watching from afar, sighed, unable to bear the sight.
How could I have raised such a foolish son? Humiliating his future father-in-law in front of his childhood sweetheart—what kind of crazy move is that?
Yuzuru silently gave Kaito a thumbs up.
Very well, if you hadn't acted so recklessly, he really wouldn't have had a chance to poach your partner.
Since that's the case, don't blame him for taking advantage of the situation; he couldn't bear to see such a cute, chuunibyou girl get hurt.
