Artificial Life 13
"Ahhh~" Kaito Kidd's surprise only lasted for a moment. He did not remove his disguise, but his demeanor and temperament were completely different in an instant. A sense of youthful vigor and vitality flowed out of this middle-aged man. "Yagaquan? Is that the police officer?" He carefully looked at the boy in front of him. He had black hair and red eyes. Although he was wearing a skirt, he did not make too many modifications. At a glance, it can be seen that he was a man wearing women's clothes. "I have to say, young man, your disguise is not serious. If you want to come to see the Kaito, you should at least put on some makeup."
Julian, who was wearing a skirt, heard this and glanced at Kuroba Kaito with a subtle look. The hint of kindness in his eyes made people feel sick. "Wow," the boy shrugged, and had a deep understanding of Detective Conan's character. "You are probably not very old to be the eldest brother of a phantom thief...Ah, Yaga Izumi is indeed Ikki's brother, that's his code name, you can also call me San Pellegrino~"
"Child labor?" Kuroba Kaito raised his eyebrows. Julian's eyes made him feel a little uncomfortable. He thought of a young detective he knew. At least his soul age was similar to his. But the man in front of him who called himself San Pellegrino seemed to be a few years younger than him. "Hey, hey, hey, this is not good-"
"In my hometown, I can get married at my age," Julian said skillfully. This was the truth. According to the birthplace where Alvin registered him, smoking and drinking were not allowed at his current age, but there was no problem getting married and working. "I am capable enough, and that's enough."
"Really?" Kuroba Kaito was playing with the poker cards that appeared out of nowhere, sitting on the balcony railing, maintaining a strange and precarious balance. In the Kaito Kid state, he often spoke in a frivolous tone, "So? How do you need me to cooperate this time?" He narrowed his eyes, "What about the reward?"
"We can let you meet Kuroba Touichi."
The playing cards accidentally slipped out of the magician's hand, and he subconsciously reached out to catch them. As his palms flipped, a white dove flew out. Julian watched the scene with curiosity, his pupils like bright red glass beads filled with pure curiosity, as if he was watching a magic show, watching the magician cleverly turn the mistake into a wonderful moment.
"Evidence?" This was about his father, whom he thought was dead. Even Kuroba Kaito, who became a Phantom Thief at a young age, couldn't remain calm. It was a magician's professional instinct for him to keep a poker face. "If he's still alive—"
Julian handed over his phone and interrupted his questioning. Kuroba Kaito looked at the characters on the screen and was silent for a while before continuing, "...I know," he bit his lip, "I chose to cooperate with you for the sake of the late Officer Ishii, but if you lie to me," the thief showed a confident smile, "the revenge of the thief is not so easy to avoid."
Julian blinked, lifted his skirt, and performed a standard court salute, "Thank you for your wise choice."
Just after the meeting, Kuroba Kaito suddenly remembered something and asked, "Speaking of which, what did you say before..." He glanced at Julian's maid skirt and couldn't figure out what it meant. "What do you mean by that strange look?"
Julian paused as he reached for the doorknob, then turned around and gave the man a cheerful smile, his eyes clear of any gloom. "Ah, this," he said with a rising tone, "This is the Selmes, an isolated island in the sea, a gray area where the rich squander their wealth at will..."
"——It's also a place to satisfy a little-known hobby."
"I just told people that this is the interest of the guests."
