By the time I got to the rooftop, Kidd was ready.

What does it mean to be prepared?

His clothes were in disarray, his hat was thrown aside, his cloak was covered in dust, and there was a bloody prop on his forehead - he was indeed a magician, an expert.

How much stuff do you have with you?

Kuaidou, how many surprises do you have that I don't know about?

I heard footsteps approaching, and I quickly stepped behind Kidd, clamping his hands behind his back. Since I was very clean, it looked like I had beaten Kuai Dou unilaterally and was now controlling him.

It's quite realistic.

At least when man A arrived, he had no doubts at all, and he even praised me for being so sensible.

"It's a riot down there, and I can't reveal my identity for the time being, so I'll make it short. Thief Kidd - the second generation." A squatted down and pinched Kaito's cheeks with one hand, making the already ferocious Kaito even more ferocious - that kind of Haitang feeling that's not easy to pass the review, you know.

I covered my face in my mind, wondering if there was something wrong with this style of painting.

Normally, when someone comes here, don't they remove the single-lens glasses first?

I dare not see his true face, and yet I still say that everything is empty.JPG?

Is this also the protagonist's halo?

Kidd's opponents don't see his true face, just like no one cares about Conan's aboveboard reasoning.

Died of laughter.

I nodded. Since I didn't have a voice changer, I tried not to speak. If anything was needed, Kidd would respond and I would lip-sync.

There are still some requirements for tacit understanding between people.

"We are all friends of the Black Sheep back then. After the death of a generation, we must always protect the title of good friends, right?" Man A said it nicely, and even looked quite righteous. "We can't be like other cats and dogs——"

He spoke in a long tone, with a hint of teasing in his eyes. It didn't sound like an interrogation, but more like he was flirting with a decent woman.

This sense of déjà vu is very nice.

But I also know that he wants to test whether Kaito is a member of his predecessor's group, and whether he plays the role of Kaito Kid for a special purpose or is simply greedy for his fame.

Kuaidou's brain worked quickly, and he immediately matched his father with the code name of the black sheep. It was easy for him to pretend to be a fierce and wolfish voice, "Who are you? I haven't heard the master mention you."

By doing this, he put himself in the position of a "disciple", which was what man A wanted. Only someone who was really close to the ex-girlfriend could know the whereabouts of the real "Pandora" hidden by Hei Yu Daoyi.

I raised my head and looked at man A meaningfully. We could both see the pride in each other's eyes.

Hearing this, he loosened his hand and took a few steps back, "You, you are the disciple of the Black Sheep?"

Kuaidou stuck his neck out and said nothing, in order to avoid revealing his true colors. Naturally, he would keep his mouth shut whenever possible, and it was safest to express his emotions through facial expressions and gestures, as someone would think for him.

"Who are you?" Kuaidou asked word by word, with determination and urgency in his eyes.

Is this the self-cultivation of a magician? He can perform any emotion he wants.

As expected, Master Liu Qian was not lying to me. Compared with acrobatics, magic is indeed an art that is closer to drama.

I was simply amazed.

A was silent for a few seconds, then said in a sad tone, "We are your master's friends. I'm sure you know that we call each other by code names. You may not be familiar with my code name - Silver Fox, but your master must have mentioned the hyena behind you."

My eyes darkened and I thought of the secret chat room.

The existence of such a private chat room shows that they should have a relatively close relationship. According to the hyena's previous performance -

Back then, someone must have betrayed Kuroba Touichi.

If they wanted to let a magician of that level die accidentally during a performance and cover it up without leaving any trace, the only possible way was to tamper with his props.

The only person who can tamper with his magic props is someone whom Kuroba Touichi trusts.

However, this hyena seemed to show that he did not know the true identity of the Phantom Thief Kidd Generation. Otherwise, with their methods, they would definitely find the family of Black Feather Thief, especially this son.

But Kuai Dou has never been exposed.

I increasingly felt that the Black Widow was a key character, and I had to find a way to get his information.

I was thinking about the role played by A in front of me in this matter, and I did not forget to squeeze Kuaidou's hand slightly, and then let go.

He received my signal, stood up and rubbed his wrist while looking me over, as if he was considering something carefully. "Indeed, I look like you. I've seen the photo left by Master."

As Kuaidou spoke, his body relaxed visibly. Man A had no doubts. If nothing else, Kuaidou's deliberately childish voice made it clear that he was a middle school student.

As we all know, young people are one of the most impulsive and easily led groups. Look, isn’t that the case with Kuaidou? After I flirted with him for a few words, he started to cooperate with me.

Man A, codenamed Silver Fox, also thought the same thing.

He gave me a subtle look and sent me a signal.

...but I don’t quite understand.

Rather, I have no idea what kind of secret code or deal there is between the two of them.

When faced with an emergency, Kuaidou's ability to react quickly is much better than mine.

"So, are you here today for my master?" He took a step forward, seemingly wanting to meet Silver Fox's gaze, but in fact he was separating me from Silver Fox.

Silver Fox didn't notice this, but felt that his anxious look suited his taste, so he acted very well. He sighed, "Alas, the incident with Black Sheep brother back then - when the accident happened, we brothers didn't have time to react at all. After he passed away, we couldn't just pretend that nothing had happened."

Silver Fox didn't say it explicitly, but only hinted at something, breaking down the words and waiting for Kuaidou's reaction.

"Sure enough! Master didn't die accidentally, right? I knew it. With Master's level, how could he..." Kaidou gritted his teeth, but didn't say the key word "magic accident" because the large-scale magic accident nine years ago would definitely make people think of Hei Yu Daoyi, which would be equivalent to exposing his identity. "Why did Master have to die?"

Silver Fox didn't want to reveal his purpose for fear of alerting Kuai Dou, so he acted embarrassed and just said that he didn't want Black Sheep's apprentice to be involved in the dispute again.

It is implied here that if Kaito does not show that he knows Pandora's whereabouts, Silver Fox will probably confirm his ignorance in this matter and take action against him.

I was a little anxious, just hoping that Kuaidou could react quickly. At the same time, my hand slowly reached behind me and touched the pistol, ready to turn against him and take control of the situation at any time.

Fortunately, someone who can become an international thief at the age of seventeen is not an ordinary person.

"Is it because of 'that thing'?" He didn't speak loudly, but it immediately attracted Silver Fox. "I told Master a long time ago that we can't take 'that thing' away - but Master, he, he... Alas."

Wow, is this the art of language? It seems like something is said, but it also seems like nothing is said.

Hearing this, Silver Fox suddenly became excited.

Just as he was about to ask, Kaito interrupted him, "Officer Nakamori should have prepared a large-scale search, so this is not the place to talk for long. We can talk later - I'm going to find you somewhere."

Well done, good fight.

I'm going to find out where they're hiding. I don't know how long I'll be pretending to be like this. If I can let Silver Fox leave safely today, I'll immediately get myself a voice changer like Cat Brother's and start hiding.

But Silver Fox was suspicious and seemed to be a little confused, but he couldn't show it directly. Kuaidou interrupted him, which made the original plan to get the other party's address or psychological safety zone fail.

For natural reasons, and for more important purposes, he could not simply refuse the fight.

Then——he looked at me.

Why are you looking at me? I'm following your lead!

So I could only nod slightly and signal Silver Fox to give him an address.

"…Nagano Prefecture, Kojimada-cho 130." He seemed a little reluctant at first, but soon adjusted himself and said directly, "It's a bar. When you go in, ask the red-haired bartender for a Mai Tai without lemon juice, and he will take you in."

Can.

I went over the map in my mind - it's not like I can memorize the map of the whole of Japan, not even Keimitsu, it would take me time to look through his memory.

But I am very familiar with Koshimada-cho in Nagano Prefecture. The Halsey I visited before is located at No. 129 there, so I specifically checked it out.

Although these two house numbers are next to each other, they are actually far apart. They are considered two streets, but it is also faster to go straight through the alley.

I realized that the place might be an intelligence transit point and might not belong only to the zoo, so I didn't feel bad about Silver Fox saying it.

Because it's not his.

To him, his own safe house is more important, but to us, a place like this is much more valuable than a safe house.

I took two steps forward from behind and patted Kuaidou on the shoulder, suggesting that he could prepare to leave and it would be best if he let Silver Fox go.

Follow him, and you might get some unexpected rewards.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard footsteps -

It was not loud, or even extremely quiet. No one present noticed it except my five senses which were amplified due to muteness.

Damn it, are the police coming? Is Officer Nakamori so awesome this time?

No, such light footsteps are not the footsteps of adults!

My reaction immediately came to me: Please don’t come over!

——Conan-kun!

I was extremely anxious, but what could I do now? I couldn't call Conan and ask him to be quiet, right?

Juejuezi, shouldn't you have given him a hint earlier?

Didn't I tell him I would have a "mission"? Why was he still running around? I glanced at Kuai Dou. Sure enough, it was this man's damn charm that really attracted the detective.
