Chapter 1598 1606 [Are you in the same group as the Phantom Thief? ] Request for monthly pass (〃〃)
As he said this, Inspector Nakamori turned to look at today's leading actress and said, "Ms. Makiri, if you don't mind, could you give us some privacy? I need to discuss the steps to capture Kid with these helpers."
"Of course, no problem." Makijuri stood up gracefully. The makeup artist walked behind her and took off the cloak covering her shoulders, revealing the gorgeous dress that had been prepared underneath. "It's time for us to go backstage and get ready."
A group of actors went out, leaving the lounge to the police who were plotting to catch the thief.
Inspector Nakamori looked at the people who stayed behind and was about to tell them his arrangements.
However, at this time, "Kudo Shinichi" suddenly interrupted: "Inspector, I think the manpower you brought is enough. It seems that I can't help much if I stay - I will investigate in my own way."
"Huh?" Inspector Nakamori was stunned.
However, he turned his head and glanced at "Kudo Shinichi", his eyes paused on his thin body that seemed not very capable of fighting, and waved his hand casually: "Forget it, you probably can't hold him down if I ask you to catch him, it's up to you. But remember, you are not allowed to disturb our arrangements."
"No problem." Kidd smiled a detective's smile, turned around and walked out like the other actors.
"Wait!" Conan immediately caught up with the thief.
Jiang Xia looked at the place where the high school students were gathered, and then looked at Inspector Nakamori of the Second Investigation Division who was not responsible for the murder case, and decisively abandoned the latter:
"Then I'll go over and take a look too. Don't worry, I'll help you keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't do anything rash."
Inspector Nakamori: "Thank you... huh?" Wait, you are the only one who can say that?
"Kudo Shinichi" was at least very cooperative in pulling his face, but look at you... who was telling whom not to mess around?
He snorted and waved his hand in disdain: "Go away, you're just in the way if you stay here."
Jiang Xia pushed the door open and walked out, followed by several other classmates.
The group went outside and breathed in the fresh air in the corridor. Mao Lilan looked at Kudo Shinichi in confusion: "Why didn't you tell me you were coming to England?"
She recently posted a lot of photos of her trip to the UK on her blog, and most of her acquaintances knew where they were. Since she was coming nearby, it would be more normal to notify her in advance.
"Haha, I'm so sorry." Kidd made up an excuse, "I really want to see your cute surprised expression - just think of today's event as a surprise."
Next to her, Suzuki Sonoko shuddered as if she had received an electric shock when she heard the word "cute". She touched the goose bumps on her arm and said, "...Huh, I didn't expect you to be able to use such an adjective. I haven't seen you for a few months, and you're really getting more and more disgusting."
A few meters away, Conan's gloomy eyes seemed to want to kill: "... He actually used someone else's body to do strange things. This kind of thief will be punished by God!"
Jiang Xia stared at the energy cores that kept floating on Kidd's body. While urging Gan Fanmao to come back quickly, he restrained himself and stood further away: "This doesn't seem to be your body."
Conan: “…” But it really looked so similar that he felt like he was standing in front of him.
After being in a trance for a while, Conan suddenly remembered something.
He turned around and looked at Jiang Xia: "Why didn't you expose him just now?"
Jiang Xia sighed: "Kid is not a heinous person. And his face looks quite friendly, which makes people feel good."
"Ah, thank you." Conan scratched his head embarrassedly. After a moment, he suddenly felt something was wrong. "You are a detective, how can you express your admiration for a thief!"
Huihara Ai couldn't stand it any longer: "Didn't Jiang Xia just remind the inspector to let him pinch his face? It's because you are not good enough and look too much like Kidd that he had the opportunity to take advantage of you."
Conan felt as if he had been hit by an arrow on the forehead: "...How can you blame me for this? This is obviously Kid's fault."
…
Kid disguised himself as Kudo Shinichi, of course not just to pick up girls, because a thief also has his job.
After chatting with Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko for a few words, "Kudo Shinichi" raised his hand and pointed upwards: "I'll go to the roof first. According to experience, Kidd always likes to appear from a high place."
After a pause, he caught a glimpse of Conan's expression and blinked, then suddenly changed the subject: "Want to join us? I heard that the top floor here can be used as an observation deck. When there are no production crews performing, this is a date spot for many young couples."
Conan: “?!”
Jiang Xia held down the fake child who was holding up the anesthetic needle and looked at "Kudo Shinichi": "Good suggestion, let's go too. Tourists certainly can't miss this kind of attraction."
Conan then remembered his identity as a child, and rolled on the ground, saying, "I want to go too, I want to go too!"
"Okay, okay, keep your voice down. I didn't say you can't go." Mao Lilan looked at the child who suddenly became naughty in confusion, and then looked at Jiang Xia who was also very interested in "Kudo Shinichi", "Then let's all go up together."
…
A few people went to the rooftop and looked around, but didn't find anything suspicious.
Standing on the edge of the observation deck, Kid glanced at Mao Lilan, who looked very much like Nakamori Aoko, and was about to tease her again. But at this moment, he caught a glimpse of Conan from the corner of his eye and was startled by the deep resentment in the eyes of this fake child.
Kidd felt that if he continued, he might be cursed by something strange, so he finally stopped silently: "Well, let's go, we have seen everything here, there is no problem."
So they went back into the building, walked around the edge of the top floor, and locked all the doors leading to the roof tightly.
"alright."
"Kudo Shinichi" closed the last door in front of him and greeted several classmates like the real thing: "The work on the roof is now done. Next, let's get some snacks to kill time and wait for the performance to start."
Conan squeezed next to him, shook the door handle hard, and found that it was indeed locked - Kid did not use the identity of "Kudo Shinichi" to secretly leave a back door for himself.
But this doesn't mean anything. Conan snorted and looked for trouble with the fake detective in dissatisfaction: "Is it so simple that it can be completed? Kid can easily pry open a door like this."
"Oh? It seems that you think highly of his skills." Kudo Shinichi didn't seem to feel that he was picking on him, and he followed Conan's words and began to praise him, "He is indeed a powerful thief. I am always at a disadvantage in every fight. Sigh, it seems that my detective skills need to be honed more."
Haibara Ai looked at Conan's speechless face and laughed twice without giving him any face.
Conan: "..." A good man doesn't fight with a little girl...
He turned to Jiang Xia with a frustrated look. While the others were discussing what snacks to buy, Conan pulled Jiang Xia away from them.
Then he asked in a low voice about something he was very concerned about: "Just now, when Inspector Nakamori grabbed his face but didn't pull it off, you didn't seem very surprised... Did you already know what he looked like?"
