Chapter 164 Even the best detectives make mistakes
There were too many people around, so Conan couldn't very well mention what he had seen earlier. Seeing that Qianzhu's complexion seemed a bit rosier, he could only keep his words to himself for now.
Sitting down to the side, Qianzhu whispered in his ear, "Why are you so somber? Have you found the murderer yet?"
Conan shook his head helplessly. "No, the murderer is too cunning. I haven't found any evidence at all."
Qianzhu paused for a moment, then chatted with him for a few minutes.
During this time, Doi Takaki served them each a cup of water.
"Thank you, Phantom Thief... Ah, Mr. Doi."
Qianzhu blurted it out, then realized what she was saying and immediately corrected herself, then looked at him with a slightly apologetic smile.
Conan: ...
Doi Takesuki:! ?
"A phantom thief?" Xiaolan asked, puzzled.
"A phantom thief? Phantom Thief Kid!!?" Sonoko exclaimed excitedly.
"Kaito Kid?" The others were shocked.
Qianzhu covered her lips with her fingers, her eyes filled with apology, "I'm sorry, it was an accident..."
Kidd: ...No need to say more, because everyone heard it.
Immediately, a wisp of smoke rose, and the honest and simple-minded Fatty disappeared, replaced by the handsome and dashing Phantom Thief Kid.
He pinched the brim of his hat with his fingers. "It's a real shame that the things I was interested in were discovered before I even got any results."
"Ahhhhh!! Kaito Kid!! I'm your fan!!" Sonoko jumped up from her chair in excitement.
Kaito Kid put a finger to his lips in a shushing gesture, then looked at Chizuru, who was smiling, and Conan, who was pointing his watch at him.
"Until we meet again, when the bells toll to announce the end of the century."
After finishing the advertisement, he used a smoke bomb and disappeared from the room.
Conan: ...
Pretentious and flashy!
He turned to look at Qianzhu, "Brother Qianzhu, how did you know he was Phantom Thief Kid?"
Qianzhu glanced at him questioningly, "Aren't you a detective? Think about it yourself."
Conan: "Huh? You could have just told me directly!"
Qianzhu calmly took a sip of water and said indifferently, "Doi Takaki, recombine its hiragana."
Conan suddenly realized, "Oh—"
As dawn broke, Inspector Megure and Mori arrived at the cabin in a police helicopter, collected the body, and the case was declared an unsolved case.
But before leaving, Conan walked up to Kikue Tanaka and said calmly, "The culprit is actually you, Ms. Tanaka."
Tanaka glanced down at him and smiled. "Do you have any evidence? Little brother, you can't just say things without evidence."
Conan's eyes darkened as he watched Tanaka reach the other side with the help of the police, and he cursed inwardly.
hateful!
Qianzhu walked over to him, patted his head, and said comfortingly, "Alright, don't look so gloomy. Even a famous detective makes mistakes sometimes."
Seeing him sigh with some frustration, Qianzhu smiled and grabbed him. "Let's go back first. There's no use worrying about it now. Xiaolan and the others are still waiting."
"Ah~" Conan gave up struggling and collapsed weakly in Qianzhu's hands.
After returning home, Corgi's cold had almost completely subsided by evening, so he took out his skateboard and headed to Qianzhu's house.
As Qianzhu opened the door, she looked down and saw an adorable Conan.
He blinked, somewhat puzzled. "Conan? What brings you here all of a sudden?"
