"Ran! Have you eaten yet?" Sonoko asked Ran when she heard the police officer next to her say that they were going to eat nearby.
Xiaolan nodded and said, "We already ate on the way here."
Conan thought to himself: Eating something? Hmm... wait! Could it be...?
Suddenly struck by a sudden thought, Conan rushed to the window and fiddled with his watch.
Kōyū watched Conan fiddling with his watch by the window and thought to himself: "With this kind of behavior that is completely out of character for his age, if it weren't for the protagonist's halo, he would probably be dead by now."
Ran gathered some money from Conan and asked, "Conan, what are you going to do?"
Conan instinctively replied, "I'm using my watch to determine direction. First, I need to point the hour hand at the sun. Since Japan is in the Northern Hemisphere, the angle between the hour hand and twelve o'clock is due south..."
Conan then realized, thinking: It seems, it seems like Ran asked me, right? Oh no!
Conan turned around and explained somewhat awkwardly, "Ahahaha, it's nothing, I was just testing whether the common sense Shinichi told me was accurate!"
Having finally managed to get through it, Conan looked out the window and thought: South is at one o'clock, southwest is at two-thirty... Hmph, Kaito Kid, I've solved it!
Seeing Conan's confident demeanor, Mitsuyu couldn't understand the source of his inexplicable self-assurance.
While confidence is a good thing, and his reasoning is mostly correct, his way of thinking is completely different from Kaito's.
If you had to choose between Shinichi and Kaito as your friend, Mitsuyu would probably choose Kaito.
As for why, it's because Shinichi's IQ is indeed high, that's a fact, but his EQ is truly worrying...
I remember watching "Magic Kaito" in my past life. Kaito's act of using a building to celebrate Aoko's birthday was thoughtful. But if it were Shinichi, it would be a once-in-a-millennium event.
Although Shinichi isn't very emotionally intelligent, his confidence is infectious and can greatly influence those around him, which is one of his greatest strengths.
11:04 PM
Conan looked at Ran, who was fast asleep in the room, and a smile appeared on his face...
Conan quietly went to the police station, picked up the phone and called Professor Agasa: "Professor Agasa, could you please help me investigate the information on that Phantom Thief Kid? My father's criminal record should have information on him."
Professor Agasa was already lying in bed, leisurely watching TV: "But why do you need to investigate all this?"
"I'm planning to go and meet that guy now!"
"Shinichi, do you already know where he is?"
Conan's face was full of confidence: "Yes, I already know what his code means! I want to meet this guy called Phantom Thief Kid!"
Professor Agasa responded and hung up the phone, then got up to organize the data for Conan.
Conan hung up the phone and rushed to the Beika Municipal Hotel. Looking at the towering building of the hotel, Conan revealed a meaningful smile.
Upon reaching the top floor, Conan took out fireworks and placed them on the ground, quietly waiting for Kid's arrival.
Just then, Conan's mobile phone rang.
"Moshi moshi".
"Shinichi, I looked through your father's file and found that Phantom Thief 1412 is indeed a man whose whereabouts are unknown. He first appeared in Paris eighteen years ago, but he disappeared ten years later. Some people said he died, but eight years later, he has been resurrected. It is said that he is now mainly active in Japan."
He paused slightly at this point: "He has many titles from the outside world, such as Lupin of the Heisei era, the magician under the moonlight."
"However, Phantom Thief 1412 has a title that everyone agrees on."
"It is said that a very young novelist was very interested in the phantom thief 1412 who manipulated police officers from various countries like children, but he thought 1412 was too troublesome, so he simplified him to KID. Therefore, everyone calls the phantom thief 1412—Phantom Thief Kid!"
At the same time, Conan noticed a noise behind him. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dashing figure!
Under the silent night sky, the figure quietly descended before Conan's eyes.
The figure was dressed in white, with a white cloak draped over his back and a white top hat on his head. A fearless smile played on his lips. His movements toward Conan were as if rehearsed, without a single superfluous motion. His face was not clearly visible under his monocle and the backlighting, but it was clear that the figure was unusually young.
Who else could it be but Phantom Thief Kid?
Thirty years old? No, twenty years old? Conan felt that Kaito Kid was younger than he had imagined!
Kid looked at Conan, and although he was curious, he still asked expressionlessly, "Little boy, what are you doing here?"
Conan ignored Kid's question, squatted down, and lit the fireworks. The light from the fireworks shone on Conan's face, and Conan, so confident, pointed at the fireworks before turning his head and answering, "I'm setting off fireworks!"
The Mihana Museum wasn't far from the hotel, and with helicopters hovering overhead, they naturally noticed the fireworks on the hotel's roof. The pilot immediately reported his discovery to Chaki Shintaro.
Conan pointed to the helicopter in the distance and said, "Oh, it's a helicopter!"
Kidd's perpetually poker face finally broke into a slight smile: "Little kid, you seem to be more than you think!"
The night breeze caressed Conan's face, causing his bangs to flutter slightly. Conan turned to look at Kid: "My name is Conan Edogawa, and I'm a detective!"
