Chapter 66

Asahi Yuqiu was not very good at hang gliding, he was learning it improvisationally with no basic knowledge. At this moment he could only control the power system with great difficulty to prevent himself from diving into the sea.

The sea breeze was howling, carrying with it salty and humid air. Chaori Xiqiu felt like a fish hanging on a kite, swaying in the sky.

Soon after flying off the luxury cruise ship, Asahi Xiqiu regretted it - there was nothing but an ocean around them! There was no suitable landing spot at all.

He had originally heard the announcement on the ship that they were about to dock and thought they were not far from the port.

It turned out that he was not sure whether he was flying in the wrong direction or the cruise ship announced the time too early, but all he could see was the sea level.

However, if we turn back now, we will not be able to find any trace of the luxury cruise ship.

I'm not going to fall into the sea and start a copy of Robinson Crusoe next... Asahi Yuaki can already imagine being on a deserted island with only watermelon to accompany him. In a sense, he and Watermelon have reached a retirement ending.

But he doesn't want this ending! Although he wants to be a passerby, it doesn't mean he wants to be a savage!

Just when Asahi Yuqiu was crying like a puppy in her heart, a black dot of light finally appeared in her vision. Seeing hope, Asahi Yuqiu's mood suddenly brightened.

He adjusted his powered hang glider and flew in that direction almost impatiently.

As the distance shortened, we could see that it was a beautiful small to medium-sized cruise ship, with its lights shining brightly in the night.

It's a bit like a VIP ship with limited passenger space. Of course, it's also possible that it's a private cruise ship exclusively for wealthy people.

Chaori Xiqiu's first reaction was: The boat ticket won't be very expensive, right?

Can we give all the expense reports to Phantom Thief Kidd and use the bills as a gift for identity exchange? The other party won't let a pork floss egg roll pay for it, right?

Although she was worried about the boat ticket, she still had to land. Otherwise, there was nowhere to go on the sea and her only option was to transform into a mermaid.

Asahi Yuqiu adjusted his posture and considered how to land - it was also at this moment that he suddenly realized that the Phantom Thief Kidd seemed to have not had time to teach him how to land outdoors dynamically.

Compared to the interior of a static cabin, a smooth landing requires advanced skills when the sea breeze is blowing, the ship is moving forward, and the hang glider has insufficient power.

Seeing the ground of the cruise ship getting closer and closer to him, the novice Zhao Ri Xi Qiu tried hard to adjust his wings. He just managed to stop the dive at the last moment, and then fell headfirst onto the convertible on the deck.

Crackling and clanging——

The tilt of the convertible top on the deck caused a series of things to fall down, and the sound of glass objects breaking could be clearly heard.

Chao Ri Xi Qiu lay on his back on the wide convertible, his back aching from the impact and circles of golden stars flashing before his eyes.

OMG, now there is more money to lose.

Chaori Xiqiu lay on his back on the ground, choosing to take a deep nap when he encountered difficulties - closing his eyes and pretending to be dead.

He heard footsteps and the rustling of clothes, and Chao Ri Xi Qiu realized that someone was standing next to him.

The man raised his voice slightly, and asked with a hint of strangeness: "...The Thief Kidd?" Then his tone turned down, full of cold scrutiny, "No - who are you?"

Chao Ri Xi Qiu opened his eyes and saw a young man with curly brown hair standing next to him.

The high school-age boy narrowed his reddish-brown eyes slightly and was now staring down. He was wearing a deerstalker hat and holding an old-fashioned pocket watch in his hand.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Hakuba Senpai. The time is 21:49:27, sir. I can give you 6.03 seconds to think and answer me."

Asahi Yuaki's first reaction was: What's the significance of the 0.03 seconds after 6 seconds? Why would someone time it to 0.01 seconds?

As he was stunned, time passed quickly. The blond Bai Ma Tanwei raised his head and said, "Time is up. If you don't tell me your identity, I will send security to take you away."

"I didn't mean to hide it - uh, it's a little complicated." Chaori Xiqiu sat up from the ground, he supported himself with his hands on the ground, and asked carefully, "Do you want me to pay for it? Okay, I'm the Phantom Thief Kidd, send me the bill, and the fee will be paid, thank you."

The other party was silent for a second: "...I don't want you to pay for it."

Chaori Xiqiu suddenly changed his tone: "Really? That's great! Hello, hello, I'm Da Liba."

"Black bread?" Bai Matan's expression showed some doubt.

"Ninety-nine loaves of bread." Chaori Xiqiu replied.

In order to prevent the people in front of him from enforcing the law while fishing, he decided not to reveal his real name for the time being. When he became smaller, he called himself Meat Floss Egg Roll, and when he grew bigger, he called himself Big Bread.

Bai Ma Tan's expression was a little bit disturbed, but he still looked gentlemanly and did not ask about the name. He continued, "Where are you from?"

"I came from heaven." Chaori Xiqiu answered subconsciously.

Bai Ma Detective: “…”

"Well, I came from - I came from a cruise ship." Asahi Xiqiu quickly added.

"Blue Crystal." Bai Ma Tan narrowed his eyes and pointed out the name of the cruise ship accurately, "The ship where the thief Kidd sent the letter." When he saw Asahi Xiqiu nod, he asked again, "Where is Kidd? Why are you pretending to be him?"

Faced with this question, Chaori Xiqiu was not sure how to explain it. He couldn't just say that the person had become smaller! What if he was arrested and investigated?

Asahi Yuqiu didn't want to be the bad guy who told tales in the story, so she could only vaguely say, "Kid... oh, something happened. Actually, we just wore the wrong clothes."

"What happened that could make you wear the wrong clothes?" Bai Ma raised his eyebrows, his voice full of doubt.

"Maybe it was because we were not in a clear mind at the time..."

They had all taken drugs (watermelon rind?), their bodies were feverish, and their bones were cramping and compressed, all accompanied by pain.

"And all the clothes were taken off..."

As your body changes, you will no longer be able to wear the clothes you wore before, no matter if you are getting bigger or smaller.

"The situation is quite urgent, we can't let anyone find out..."

Let’s not talk about whether the secret of growing or shrinking will be exposed if someone finds out. If someone sees you streaking, you will definitely be arrested for disturbing social customs! Don’t do that, it’s too embarrassing! !

"Time is tight, so I just grabbed one..."

How could they have the time to carefully choose clothes? Besides, they had no chance to get other clothes, so they had to wear whatever was nearby.

"Anyway - that's it. I'm not going to go into more detail."

Chaori Xiqiu processed the language of the incident and thought he had managed to avoid revealing every key point.

He looked back at Bai Matan with great energy, and saw that the other party's brows were raised so high that they were almost reaching the sky.

That young master had a strange look on his face, with doubts about the world and life written all over his face, and his eyes seemed to say "Can this be said?" in large letters.

"...You and Kidd? Something like this happened to you two???" Bai Batan's voice rose to an exaggerated level which was rare.

"Yeah, that's right." Chaori Xiqiu nodded. They had the bad luck of wearing the wrong clothes and taking the wrong path in life.

Facing Hakuba's suspicious gaze, Asahi Yukichi emphasized and repeated, "It may sound unexpected, but this happened and there's nothing we can do about it."

He emphasized his tone, trying to convince the other party that everything was a coincidence and that he definitely did not deliberately steal the identity of the thief Kid.

Bai Ma Detective: “…”

Bai Ma Detective: “…………”

The expression of the young man with golden hair was somewhere between "Did I hear Japanese? Japanese can actually be combined like this" and "I didn't hear anything. I should have listened to nothing." His handsome British face was slightly distorted.

He hesitated to speak, and finally said: "...Why can you say it so bluntly?"

"Because you asked!" Asahi Xiqiu's eyes widened. "If I didn't tell you, wouldn't you have asked the security to arrest me?"

He didn't want to be arrested as the thief Kidd, nor did he want to be arrested as a robber who illegally invaded a private cruise ship, so naturally he answered all the questions on the premise of helping to cover up the truth.

Bai Ma looked at him deeply, and then said, "Excuse me, how old are you now?"

"Me?" Chaori Xiqiu didn't understand why the topic suddenly jumped to this point. He blinked, but still tried to think about the answer, "About... 29?"

To be honest, he didn't know how old he was because he had lost his memory before and he didn't have a clear memory. He made up the age of 29 based on the age of his classmates at the police academy.

29 years old, what a good age, if you cut off the beginning and the end, you can still say that you are a young person in your twenties.

Of course, compared to this age, Asahi Yuaki actually prefers to say that she is 7 years old.

He felt that 7 years old was the happiest age. It was the age when he was a primary school student and happily went to school and played games every day.

But now he is in the shape of an adult, so in order not to arouse suspicion, I will say he is a little older.

The White Horse Detective was silent for one, two, and three seconds, then he picked up the pager: "Security, please come and handle this."

Asahi Yuqiu: Eh???

He looked confused.

Why did they call security again? What are they here to handle? ! !

After a lot of confusion, they finally explained the reasons and cleared up the misunderstanding - of course, on the basis of keeping the secret of growing and shrinking.

Chaori Xiqiu was shocked: "How could you think that!"

How could his thoughts be so deviated? It has completely deviated from the scope of boys' comics! Please, he is just a piece of bread!

Hakuba Detective: “…How can you say that!”

How can a normal person describe it like this? I almost thought the channel was going to take over the adult channel! Security would be called in to uphold justice.

The two looked at each other and finally breathed a sigh of relief - no matter what, things should develop normally.

After experiencing the mental roller coaster just now, Bai Ma Tan felt much calmer when he looked at the sunrise and sunset.

He glanced at his watch and said, "We've been talking for 27 minutes, 6 seconds, 8 seconds. That's it."

Although it is unclear whether Asahi Yuaki is a partner, helper or just an ordinary passerby of the monster thief Kid, he realized that further questioning would not yield any valuable information, so he chose to reveal it.

Hakuba has always known the true identity of the Phantom Thief Kid, but Kuroba Kaito has never admitted it. He does not continue to interrogate Kuroba Kaito, but plans to collect evidence himself and arrest him.

Meeting Chaori Xiqiu who fell from the sky was purely an unexpected episode.

The White Horse Detective was sailing beside them to collect more traces of the Phantom Thief Kid himself. But now it seems that Kid will not show up.

"Let's go back." said Bai Ma Tan.

He glanced at Asahi Xiqiu and wanted to send him back, but then he changed his mind and thought that maybe he could use Asahi Xiqiu to get some information about Kidd - maybe the two of them were really partners? Or at least, the person in front of him should know Kidd's true identity.

I wonder what kind of expression Kuroba Kaito would have when he sees the other party here.

So Bai Ma smiled and invited him, "What do you want to do next, Mr. Jiujiu? Maybe you can come to Jianggutian Town as a guest."

Asahi Yuqiu blinked. He had originally planned to return to Tokyo Beikacho as soon as possible. But he changed his mind when he caught a glimpse of a promotional picture half-hidden under the collapsed tarpaulin beside him.

It was a flyer for a watermelon shop. The shop was originally in Nagano, but was now expanding to Ekoda Town. The owner's last name was Zhu Xing, and he looked very familiar in the photo, with his black hair and green eyes.

Asahi Yuqiu: ...A bit like my best employee back then? I never thought that with the passage of time, they have now established their own business. So inspiring!
