Hinata Hajime looked at the man's white clothes, which were clearly different from those worn by people attending a banquet. He asked, "The Phantom Thief Kidd?"

"Sorry, I recognized the wrong person." The strange thief Kid bowed to Hinata Hajime, and in the instant under Hinata Hajime's gaze, he climbed out of the stairs and disappeared in an instant. Hinata Hajime walked over and looked down. After a moment, he frowned slightly, then raised his head to look up.

When the thief Kidd dodged just now, Hinata Hajime saw a little light. Although it looked like he was walking downwards, his posture was a bit awkward. If he turned over, it would look more like he was running upwards. However, this kind of little sleight of hand is usually used in magic escapes.

Hmm... a magician? Or a magician who carries props with him?

At this moment, Conan Edogawa ran in with his short legs, looking very nervous, "Hinata-san! Is the thief Kid coming?!"

"The one in white?"

"Where is the person?"

"above."

"Okay!" Edogawa Conan quickly ran up the stairs. Hinata Souma was really worried, so he quickly followed him.

Although his shoulder was injured, only his right shoulder was injured, and his left hand could still move freely. If Hinata Hajime directly picked up Edogawa Conan who was concentrating on running up.

Edogawa Conan was startled, "Huh?!"

"Relax, I'm much faster than you." Hinata Hajime carried Edogawa Conan to the top floor. The door of the top floor was not closed. Hinata Hajime used his body to open the door, and the next moment he saw the monster thief Kid standing on the railing facing them.

The Phantom Thief Kid, wearing a white cloak, smiled at them. His white clothes seemed to glow in the night.

"Oh my, you caught up so quickly. I thought I could hide for a while." The Phantom Thief Kid pulled the brim of his hat. "I never knew you had a brother, little detective."

Hinata Sou recalled how the thief Kid had mistaken him for Edogawa Conan.

……All right.

"Thief Kid." Edogawa Conan stood there, looking at him with gritted teeth, "I will definitely not let you get away again this time."

"Then I'll be looking forward to it." Thief Kid smiled and spread his arms, then jumped down. Conan Edogawa ran over and saw him gliding into the sky from behind with a paraglider. The security personnel downstairs finally saw Thief Kid in the sky.

"It's flying." Hinata Hajime looked at the strange equipment, "Isn't he cold?"

Edogawa Conan was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"

"It's winter now, minus ten degrees." Hinata Hajime looked at the flying Thief Kidd in the sky, "It's very windy tonight, the temperature here is probably several degrees lower than here. Isn't he cold? I see he's wearing very thin clothes."

Edogawa Conan: ...

"There's a 60 percent chance he'll get a bad cold when he gets home."

"Now is not the time to focus on this, Hinata-nii-nii!"

Hinata Hajime smiled apologetically, "Sorry, was the gem stolen by the thief Kid?"

"Well...it's hard to say whether it was stolen or not." Edogawa Conan twitched his lips, "Or should I say, Brother Hinata, you should have come back earlier. You missed a big show, although it was all the fault of the Phantom Thief Kid!"

"What a pity." Hinata Hajime said, "But compared to this, Conan, do you smell anything?"

"smell?"

"It's just... a little fishy." Hinata Hajime said, "Although the smell is very light, like the air after rain, with a faint earthy smell."

Hinata Sou raised his head and looked up at the sky, "Ah, it's snowing."

"At this time?" Edogawa Conan looked up at the sky with Hinata Hajime, and sure enough, they saw snowflakes of all sizes. At this time, Hinata Hajime looked to the side, in the sundry room on the top floor, Hinata Hajime saw snowflakes falling on the door, and the moment they fell into the gap, the snowflakes turned red.

Conan Edogawa also noticed this. He and Hinata Hajime looked at each other, and then Conan Edogawa walked over carefully. The further he walked, the more he could smell the fishy smell.

Finally, Conan Edogawa opened the door of the utility room, and a corpse that had just died fell down.

Hinata Hajime: ...

Conan Edogawa: ... "Let me make it clear first, this is none of my business."

So the operation to capture the monster thief Kid and protect the gem turned into solving a murder case. Conan Edogawa was full of doubts about life. He wanted to explain to Hinata Hajime, but when Hinata Hajime looked like he understood, he suddenly didn't want to explain anymore.

Never mind. Let's leave it at that.

Of course, it was also because of this that Hinata Hajime learned from Edogawa Conan about the drama that took place in the banquet hall after he left.

Just when the gem exhibition began, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly went out, but soon they came back on and the thief Kidd was floating in the air with the gem in his hand. However, the thief Kidd said that the gem was fake. The exhibitors gasped and almost fainted.

In the eyes of these collectors, it is not a big deal that the gems are targeted by the thief Kid, and it may even increase their popularity. Anyway, the thief Kid will not really steal the gems, so it can even be said to be a good thing that can increase the price.

But! How can gems be fake?

The collector at the exhibition was absolutely sure that his gems were real, so it could only be that the gems had been swapped. As a result, there was chaos outside, and only Conan Edogawa was diligently tracking down the Thief Kid.

"So now we don't just have Kidd the Thief and murder cases, but also cases of gems being swapped? We also have to find where the real gems are?"

"That's right." Edogawa Conan sighed, "It's really complicated."

"You're not used to it yet." Hinata Hajime said, "Don't you often encounter such complicated cases?"

Edogawa Conan: ...

"Encountering it often and getting used to it are two different things!" Edogawa Conan retorted angrily.

All in all, the murder case is the most important. Conan Edogawa quickly ran around like a child looking for clues. Although Hinata Hajime was suspected because he was at the only entrance leading to the top floor, the victim's wounds were obviously stabbed in the right hand. Hinata Hajime's right arm was injured, so it was obviously impossible for him to stab the victim with his right hand.

So Hinata Hajime's suspicion was ruled out. He sat next to and watched Kogoro sleeping throughout the whole show, and also covered up for Edogawa Conan during the show.

It was eventually determined that this was actually a case of surveillance theft and internal strife for the gem.

The security guard hired by the collector wanted to steal the real gem under the guise of the Phantom Thief Kidd stealing the gem, and replace it with a fake one. He and his partner made an agreement that they would each take half after selling the gem, but he didn't expect that his partner actually took the gem away in advance and was ready to run away.

He was so panicked that he temporarily replaced the gem with a fake one. Then he found his companion, but they started fighting for profit and he accidentally killed him in a rage.

Now that the person is dead, he doesn't know where the gem is. Just when he was about to run away, the thief Kidd came. Yes, he didn't go downstairs the whole time. He just sneaked in after the police came and pretended to be a security guard who went upstairs with them.

"So, the reason why the thief Kid ran upstairs was to let us find the body?" Edogawa Conan murmured, "I thought it was strange at the time. In such a messy scene, he could just push open a window and fly out, but it turned out to be for this."

"After all, I don't want to steal fake gems, nor do I want to be accused of stealing something, and finally, I don't want to be known as a murderer."

Hinata frowned as he spoke, "Is he really a thief?"

"Of course."

"He has quite a lot of principles. He even asked you to clarify something like this."

Conan Edogawa wanted to refute, but finally found that he really couldn't refute. After all, he didn't know what Phantom Thief Kid meant. Up to now, the reason why Phantom Thief Kid is a Phantom Thief is because his actions are too strange and hard to figure out.

At this moment, Mao Lilan called Edogawa Conan and said that they were going home.

Edogawa Conan waved to Mao Li Ran, and then said to Hinata Hajime, "I'm leaving first. It's very cold today, and Hinata brother should go home early too."

"Okay." Hinata Hajime smiled.

Watching Edogawa Conan leave, Hinata Hajime turned and walked into the snow.

Yes, it is still snowing, and it is not just a light snow.

Heavy snow fell on Hinata Hajime's head. He exhaled a breath of white air and felt his ears were a little painful from being frozen. It was indeed too cold today. Although he wore warm enough clothes when going out, the wound was still a little itchy and painful from being frozen.

[It's so cold.] Hinata Souma: [When will this winter be over?]

【As long as you want, it can be spring anytime. 】

Hinata Hajime smiled in his green eyes, "No matter how talented you are, you can't change the seasons in an instant. If you can do that, it's not called talent, it should be called supernatural power."

[Why don’t you wear something thicker if you are so afraid of the cold? 】

[It’s already thick enough, and my shoulder is injured, so I can’t put too much pressure on it. ]

Kamijou Izuru didn't continue talking, and Hinata Hajime didn't continue harassing him. He looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky, as if he had returned to the past, before he entered Hope's Peak Academy, that world also had such beautiful snow.

There is no smell of gunpowder, nor is there any dust cover after an explosion. It is not gray, but real white snow.

Hinata Sou sighed, and returned home as the snow was getting heavier. Nanami Chiaki, who had stayed up all night playing games, was still sleeping on the computer. When she heard that Hinata Sou had returned, she simply forced herself to say hello to him and went back to sleep.

After eating some simple fast food, Hinata Hajime decided to go to bed early today.

Therefore, he didn't know that when he fell asleep, someone opened his eyes. He controlled his body to sit up in the dark, feeling the soreness in his body, especially his shoulders.

He opened the door and Nanami Chiaki looked at him dazedly, "Hinata-kun?"

Kamiya Izuru put his index finger in front of his lips, signaling her to shut up.

"Eh?" Nanami Chiaki quickly covered her mouth and then spoke silently, "Is it Kamizon-kun?"

…

The next day, Hinata Hajime sat on the bed, looking at the beautiful scarf beside him and tilting his head, "What is this?"

【scarf.】

[No, no, no, of course I know it is a scarf, what I am asking is how did it come from? ]

【Coins purchase. 】

Hinata Hajime couldn't help laughing, "Please spare me, Izuku..."

"How can anyone answer like that?"

But rather than saying anything romantic, Hinata Hajime thinks this is fine.

No, it couldn't be better.
