Chapter 302 Thirty-Seven Presidents
After learning from Kuroba Kaito that the notice was not sent by him but someone else was using Kid's name to do things again, Kudo Shinichi's interest was mostly dampened. In the past, he often encountered criminals who used Kid's name, and although it was quite interesting, he still wanted to make up for the regret of not catching Kid himself.
"From your tone, you've already figured out who that person is?" Kudo Shinichi looked at his friend who was still wearing a disguised face with suspicion. "If that's the case, why don't you just expose the other person... You're not planning to wait until the other person starts to act, and then publicly expose that person as a liar, are you?"
After battling wits and courage with the Phantom Thief Kid for so long, the detective boy obviously already knows this gang's style very well.
I have to say that Kudo Shinichi completely predicted Kuroba Kaito's original plan. Before he found out that Miss Miyamoto was that Yue Ge, he was indeed planning to do so, but things are different now.
"How could it be so unoriginal?" The thief pretended that he really hadn't thought about it that way, and said confidently, "Of course I already know who it is. I haven't exposed it yet because it's not the right time yet. Anyway, you'd better not get involved in this matter."
He changed the subject and warned in a very serious tone: "It's different from the time you chased me. This time the situation might be as dangerous as your organization."
If he hadn't given this warning, Kudo Shinichi might not have been very interested in the person pretending to be Kid who had already been discovered by Kid, but when Kuroba Kaito gave the warning so seriously, Kudo Shinichi suddenly felt a little excited, and his nervousness was suppressed.
This is interesting! Compared to sightseeing, it seems much more fun now - why doesn't he worry about danger?
Please, there are MI6, FBI, CIA, Japanese Public Security Bureau on the train now... If Yue Ge wants to come with Mr. Chuuya, then there will be one more port mafia. The most important thing is that with Yue Ge, the pillar of their detective agency, here, shouldn't he be more worried about the other side?
They can give all the war losses to the two big conglomerates, Akashi and Suzuki, for reimbursement at will. If that doesn't work, there are still the wealthy Hong Kong triads. The funds of the detective agency have already reached an astronomical figure. So, what else does he have to worry about?
"It's too late." Kudo Shinichi shook his fingers. "I can't think of anyone more dangerous than us on the train right now."
Kuroba Kaito recalled the list of people boarding the train and nodded involuntarily.
It seems to be true... Well, I hope Brother Yue can control the situation. But he is still Brother Yue. Even if he has become Sister Yue, he can definitely perform the trick perfectly. When he thinks of this, he is no longer anxious.
"By the way, where are you taking me?" Kudo Shinichi asked suspiciously.
"Of course I'll take you to see the targeted Ruby."
The thief Kidd smiled and said meaningfully: "It is really an unforgettable and beautiful gem. I think you will like it."
Kudo Shinichi got goosebumps for no apparent reason.
His intuition told him that Kidd was definitely not thinking well at this moment.

In the dimly lit lounge.
"Before answering this question, shouldn't you explain the current situation to me first?" Zhu Fu Jingguang felt his head start to hurt again. He pressed his forehead and reluctantly came into his senses. "What's going on with the people outside just now?"
The black-haired woman standing in front of him - Morobushi Kagemitsu didn't want to know how his friend had shrunk her height, he guessed that she might have used the ability to reverse her aging - lowered her head and thought for a few seconds. During this buffer time, Morobushi Kagemitsu looked around the room.
This is a lounge completely different from Carriage No. 9. Its decoration is not at all like a private room on a train. The thick crimson curtains are tightly drawn, and the golden tassels on them are shaking slightly. An expensive large LCD screen is inlaid on the right wall. In front is a small coffee table with a clean tabletop and a black leather sofa.
They were leaning against the door, standing on a thick carpet that was darker in color than the curtains. Moroki Jingguang guessed that even if someone fell on it, no sound would be heard.
If it weren't for the inevitable shaking of the train as it moved, he would have almost forgotten that he was on the Suzuki Express, but when he thought of the last name Suzuki, he suddenly felt that such decoration was not strange at all.
Well... and the style is really 'port mafia'. Previously, when Na Yue was bored, she live-broadcasted a one-day tour inside the Hong Kong-Hei headquarters building for them. Zero, who worked in the public security, was not kicked out of the live broadcast room by the Central Plains leader because of his good relationship with Na Yue.
In short, thanks to his good friend, Morofu Jingguang quickly recognized the dark pattern on the edge of the curtain as the special logo of Gang Hei. It would be better to say that he seemed to have seen the same curtain inside Gang Hei that he had photographed that month before.
When you were renovating the Suzuki, did you go to Yokohama to steal the curtains, or did you find the same home improvement company as Gang Hei?
Forgive him, Morobushi Jingguang really couldn't remain serious in front of his long-lost friend in cross-dressing. Even for him, it was a lot of effort just to hold back his smile and the desire to take pictures at this time. That was a vengeful little devil, and he didn't know how many years it had been since he saw Nayue like this.
"Nothing." The person in front of him tucked his hair behind his ears, smiled softly, and said to him lightly, "He's just a scumbag who wants to threaten Mr. Chuuya by kidnapping the wife of the port mafia leader."
Morobushi Kagemitsu: "Oh, that's fine..."
Morobushi Kagemitsu: “…Hmm?”
How come he knows every word in this sentence, but can't understand it when he puts them together?
"Wait, when did Mr. Nakahara get married?... No, then why are they chasing you?" The former public security officer asked with difficulty, feeling a little shocked in his brain, but he calmed down easily.
After all, he and Zhongyuan Chuya could only meet unilaterally on the "Hong Kong.Hei Live Broadcast" on holidays occasionally. The only time they met face to face was when the Five Decays of Heaven incident ended some time ago. They and Zhongyuan Chuya witnessed the splendor of the Red River that month together.
Chi Jiang Na Yue remained very calm from beginning to end, and even repeated thoughtfully: "It's because they want to kidnap the leader's wife."
The black-haired, red-eyed beauty was wearing a men's coat on her shoulders while speaking. Morofushi Kagemitsu recognized that it was indeed the same style of coat that Nakahara Chuuya often wore. Then he saw his friend curling up a strand of black hair in front of her chest with her index finger, turning her head away from him, with a sweet smile on her slightly flushed face, looking like a girl who has fallen in love.
"Do I have to explain it so clearly? You even complained about me showing off in front of you guys." The woman with the face of his best friend held her face with her other hand. The pure black nail polish looked particularly harmonious on her. She explained with a smile, "Of course they will chase me, because I am the leader's wife. Although the wedding was held not long ago, news from the other world always spreads quickly."
Morofushi Jingguang didn't realize that the way he referred to the person in front of him had changed from "friend" to "that woman" who looked like his friend. He just took a deep breath, took a big step back, and pressed his back against the door.
He was definitely hallucinating.
Zhu Fu Jingguang thought calmly: Or maybe his brain was damaged. One of these two answers must be true.
It can't be that Na Yue really became a newlywed, and her marriage partner is the leader of the Central Plains, the patriarch of the port mafia who is said to have raised Na Yue from a baby to the age of five... Oh, if they are married, then this patriarch must have an ex-boyfriend in front of him.
Anyway, it can't be this, right?!
Of course, there are two other possibilities. One is that these are all new pranks of Nazuki, and the other is that the person in front of him is someone else pretending to be him - Morobushi Jingguang thinks the latter is unlikely. Apart from his brother and Zero, the person he is least likely to mistake in this world is Nazuki, who also served as their liaison during the undercover period.
As for the former... Morobushi Jingguang had to admit that he was really scared for a moment and almost believed it.
"You really are reckless in this prank, Nayue." The skilled keeper No. 1 sighed helplessly. He finally came to his senses from what he had said, which seemed like a joke. "Even I almost believed it... How are you going to scare them? Do you need my help?"
After hearing what he said, Chijiang Nayue's reaction was different from what he had imagined.
The black-haired beauty looked at him in confusion: "What kind of prank is this?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang was somewhat amused and said, "Do you want to continue? I have already reacted... But does Mr. Zhongyuan mind if you dress up as a woman and pretend to be his wife?"
As if she was surprised by his words, Akae Nazuki frowned in confusion: "What are you talking about, Hiro-kun? "
She simply grabbed Morobushi Jingguang's wrist again, and pulled him back a step towards the curtain. Then she raised her hand and before Morobushi Jingguang could react, she placed that hand on her chest without any hesitation.
"This is the real deal." The sexy black-haired beauty snorted, "You don't think I haven't grown in all these years, do you? I told you, I just didn't develop well when I was in the police academy."
Before Morobushi Kagemitsu's palm came to his senses, it touched something soft. He subconsciously followed the force applied by his wrist and lightly pressed the object under his hand. Only then did his brain process what the other person had said.
"Wait?!" He shouted out in shock and confusion as a complete reflex, and at this moment he completely forgot to control the volume.
...So according to what you said, the development is too much now, right? How come your chest muscles have become D cup? !
Although it seemed that he was the one who flirted with the other person, Morobushi Kagemitsu was terrified as if he was the one being flirted with. When he was about to die, the door not far behind him was pushed open from the outside, accompanied by the nervous voice of Furuya Rei: "Hiro? What happened——"
Zhu Fu Jingguang could imagine the expression on You Xunran's face without turning around, but his mind was a mess and he couldn't react. He could only instinctively pull his hand back quickly.
Fortunately, his idea was soon realized because Chijiang Nayue took the initiative to let go.
Unfortunately, after letting him go, the black-haired beauty was fooled by the sudden stop of Furuya Rei's voice and seemed to think that Furuya Rei was also doubting her gender. She passed by Morobushi Keimitsu at lightning speed and came in front of Furuya Rei, and quickly grabbed Furuya Rei's hand...
Morofushi Jingguang swore that the speed at which he turned around and pulled Na Yue away at that moment was definitely faster than his usual reaction speed.
"...No, you can't do that!"
