Chapter 16571665 [Poisoned by the Name of Uzo]
As he thought about it, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but sigh.
But he is from Tokyo after all, and he has seen a lot of murders. Compared to this, there is another thing that makes Kidd more curious.
He looked at Conan and said, "How many times have you been stabbed by them before you can connect 'giving Kudo Shinichi an anesthetic injection' with 'this person is Anonymous'?
"Not so many times, but they always stab me at the critical moment, causing me to miss some important events..." Conan felt a little embarrassed as he spoke, and suddenly came to his senses, "What does it have to do with you? If you keep asking, you will be stabbed by Anonymous sooner or later - when do you plan to steal the gems? Be careful to be caught by Jiang Xia on the spot and stepped on and beaten, you can't run away on the plane."
Kuroba Kaito smiled and whispered, "I'm not a powerless kid like you. A mere high school detective wants to knock me out?"
Halfway through his words, Kidd suddenly thought of Jiangxia's omnipresent monster friends: if they overheard something and reported it...
"Well, at least he has no reason to knock!" Kuroba Kaito calmly corrected himself, "I'm not a criminal now. I'm just a passenger who likes to disguise himself when flying. Why would a righteous detective knock on innocent passersby?"
Conan was surprised: "Not a criminal? You don't want the gem anymore?"
Kuroba Kaito answered decisively: "No."
"Huh?" Conan didn't expect that this thief would actually give up. "Just to avoid being beaten by Jiang Xia? Are you so afraid of him?"
"…Who's afraid of that bastard detective?"
Kidd defended himself: "It's just that there's no need to do it. I've confirmed that the gem in Makuri's hand is fake - the 'Stone of Destiny' is made of sapphire, and real sapphire will feel a little cool to the touch.
"But the one in her hand doesn't have that feeling. It's not only a replica, but also a very low-end one. Alas, it's really too much to make people come all the way here for nothing. There should be a limit to hype. They actually used innocent thieves as tools."
Conan remembered the kiss Kid gave to Makiri when he boarded the plane: "I see, you were so immature on purpose because you wanted to identify the gems."
"...Wait, a kiss of the hand?"
This keyword reminded Conan of something, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
Kidd originally planned to finish his business and then knock this annoying little detective out with a needle and throw him as far away as possible to have some peace and quiet.
But at this moment, seeing Conan's expression, Kuroba Kaito was shocked: "...What's wrong? Why are you so serious all of a sudden? If I didn't know, I would think you saw a plane crash site."
Conan had no time to argue with him. He turned to Kid stiffly and said, "Do you think that it was because you kissed her that Makuri suddenly had the idea of extending her hand in a position that was convenient for kissing when the captain wanted to shake hands with her?"
"……Um?"
Kidd was stunned: "What do you mean? Are you trying to say that the pilot was poisoned because of my action? I won't take the blame for this. How could I have known that she would enter the cockpit? And the captain actually let her in smoothly.
"Besides, if she washed her hands thoroughly before visiting others instead of shaking hands with them with the hand that had just touched her nose..."
Conan suddenly interrupted him. This usually confident detective looked a little flustered. "That's another part! I'm talking about the part you're in charge of now! Why on earth do you want to use the hand-kissing ritual to identify gemstones? Who was the one who made you think of doing this? Think back quickly, this is very important to everyone on the plane!"
Kidd was full of questions. "Why is this so important? Before I take action, I must first identify the authenticity and then decide whether to take action. Otherwise, what if someone deliberately uses fake goods to scam me and asks me to return the real thing? In addition, there will be people who want to lure me over with fake goods and use my fame for hype, just like this time.
"And since we have to distinguish the authenticity, we can't make too much noise. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if word got out that Kaito Kid had to go out for a fake. Given these two prerequisites, and Makiri just starred in a European drama, kissing her hand to touch her ring is the easiest way. I will definitely do that."
"No." Conan was obviously not convinced. He stared at Kid with increasingly sharp eyes, "Pretending to be a partner and shaking hands with Makuri, pretending to be a staff member to help maintain the ring, pretending to be her assistant and taking care of the ring when Makuri is not wearing it... These methods can all be used to verify the authenticity.
"And if you use this method, you only need to replace the assistant for a few minutes. Once you touch the ring, you will complete the task and can get away at any time. But in fact, you did not choose this safe and quick method. Instead, you pretended to be Mu Shuli's lover and appeared on the plane like you did now.
"Being trapped in a confined space at high altitude is a very dangerous situation for a Phantom Thief who is in disguise, but you still did it. Don't you feel that there is something wrong with you? - In addition, you usually like to dress up as a woman, but this time you chose to dress up as a man. Isn't this enough to explain the problem!"
"?" Kidd had been listening carefully, but when he heard the last sentence, his forehead jumped, "What do you mean you like to dress up as a woman? Although I have disguised myself as a girl a little more often, that's because girls can make people relax more easily. It's a job requirement, not a hobby!
"Besides, it's not like I haven't dressed up as a man before. It's normal for me to dress up as Xin Zhuang Gong this time. As for why we need to confirm it on the plane, we have to go back anyway. The flight is so long, so we have to find something to do. What's wrong with you? You keep asking questions like these that you can think of with just a little thought. You look like a madman."
Conan suddenly sighed, and looked at Kid with sympathy, pity, and worry... which gave the Phantom Thief goosebumps.
Then, Kuroba Kaito heard the mysterious little detective say, "You may have come into contact with him, but you haven't discovered it yet."
Kidd: "...You are telling a ghost story. What is he? Who? How did I come into contact with him?"
Conan looked around warily, and lowered his already low voice even more: "You must have a good memory, right? Make a list for me! Write down all the people you have come into contact with from the time you set your sights on this sapphire until you made the plan to steal it."
Kidd: “…”
He suddenly touched the first grader's head.
Conan was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Kidd showed a smile that seemed to see through everything: "Do you think I'm stupid? I give you the list, and then you use the list to figure out my true identity and arrest me? Ha, you cunning detective."
