Chapter 351 Will he see through me again this time?
"True knowledge".
Before Ran and Conan could answer, Kawasaki Maru grabbed Machi's hand, glanced down at him, and nodded to the two opposite her. "Excuse me, we'll go to Bechfenger's place first."
“Okay…” Makoto reluctantly withdrew her hand, and after being pulled along for a while, she turned around and waved to Conan, “Bye-bye.”
Ran and Conan exchanged a glance, looking at the two figures as they left with a puzzled expression.
"Conan, don't you also think that Maru and the others' attitude towards Chizuru is a bit strange?" Ran asked softly, continuing towards Chizuru's hospital room.
"Hmm." Conan, with his short legs, followed beside him and nodded. He thought for a moment and said, "It is indeed strange. It feels like they don't want to see Brother Qianzhu."
"But why is that..."
Xiao Lan muttered to herself, completely baffled.
The two returned to Qianzhu's ward and handed breakfast to the three of them.
They glanced at Qianzhu, and tacitly agreed not to mention their encounter with the Chuansheng brothers.
The stomach pain hadn't subsided, so Qianzhu had little appetite, but he still slowly ate his breakfast.
He chatted with them for a while, then let them go home.
Not long after, Chizuku was discharged from the hospital again, and Kogoro Mouri received a letter with a check for two million yen from an unknown sender.
There was also a strange phrase above: "The phantom of the son whom God has abandoned."
"What does this mean?"
Ran frowned as she looked at the sentence, while Conan beside her was also deep in thought.
"Never mind what it means for now, since we've already accepted the check, we have no choice but to go."
Kogoro Mouri yawned and then dialed a car rental company's number.
Qianzhu smiled slightly, "Although I don't know what it means, it seems quite interesting."
After renting a car, the group set off towards the location indicated in the letter—the Twilight Villa.
The villa was quite far away, and it was getting dark that we could only see the villa at dusk from a considerable distance.
They even had a tire blowout on the road.
A bead of sweat trickled down Conan's forehead as he thought to himself: "Is Uncle a taxi killer?"
"Dad! There's a gas station up ahead!" Xiaolan pointed to the gas station with its lights on not far away.
Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri's troubled expression vanished instantly, and his eyes lit up as he happily ran towards the gas station.
Then, unsurprisingly, he was knocked unconscious by Phantom Thief Kid, who was disguised as a gas station worker, and took over his identity.
Having changed into Kogoro Mouri's appearance and attire, Kaito Kid happily asked the gas station attendant for a favor and then walked towards his car.
Upon seeing Qianzhu in the car, he involuntarily paused, a bead of sweat forming on the back of his head.
Oh no, is he going to see through me again this time?!
As soon as he walked up to the blown tire, he received a thoughtful look from Qianzhu, but she looked away after a moment, as if she hadn't seen through his identity.
Kaito Kid breathed a sigh of relief.
...Yeah, right.
The look in his eyes before he looked away already showed that he figured it out!
How does this guy manage to see through his disguise every single time?!
Kaito Kid was internally rambling and incoherent, but on the surface, he maintained Kogoro Mouri's demeanor without giving himself away.
