I raised my eyebrows when I heard this, and a white figure automatically drew up in my mind, could it be him?

"Strange thief?" It's not just me who is sensitive to these two words, but a certain young detective on the side, who just wanted to quickly change the topic, reacted equally quickly when he heard these two words: "Strange thief Kidd?"

"Huh, did you see Kidd the Strange Thief?" After Conan's reminder, Mitsuhiko, who was confused, suddenly widened his eyes.

"Is this true?Ayumi?!" asked Motota, who was one step slower to react to everything except eating, with a look of disbelief.

"En~~" Ayumi did not hide the yearning and reverie on her face, as if she was recalling yesterday's scene, "I'll tell you oh~~ He's really good~cool~~!!"

"Ah~ It's really Mr. Luban from the Heisei era!" Mitsuhiko remembered what the adults said about that strange thief on weekdays, and he also sighed.

Ha, Luban in the Pingcheng era......

Listening to the conversation between the three imps, I couldn't help but glance at Conan after hearing this familiar title, and then I saw someone's depressed and resentful face.

"Now, what do I say, Sherlock Holmes of the Heijo era, I wonder how you feel now?" I leaned forward slightly, taking the ball that Conan had pointed in the air with me, and asked casually as I flipped the ball for a while.

"Ah, I really think your personality is still better than before at this time......" Conan glanced at me with resentment, and then suddenly kicked away the football that I was pausing on tiptoe: "As for that bastard, one day, I will definitely let him be caught!!"

"Oh, that's it......" Following the football that was kicked away, I patted Conan on the shoulder seriously: "Then, you have to work hard." ”

"Huh?"

"No, nothing. Ignoring Conan's confused eyes, I shook my head and walked in the direction of the classroom.

Kidd the Strange Thief...... Oh, just right, I was worried that there was nowhere to find him, but this time, I took the initiative to send it to the door again......

The next day, Osaka Station~

"So," on the platform, Maori Kogoro, who was wearing an unchanged suit with the "#" number on his face, gritted his teeth and said the same words: "Why is this little ghost coming with him again?"

“……”

"Dad, you're so rude!" Xiaolan dissatisfiedly removed Maori Kogoro's finger facing my nose, and complained to her father with her hands on her hips: "It's not because Dad, you yourself are so loud and nonsense that you are here, this time you will definitely catch the monster thief Kidd, Xiao Ye, he also came with him because of curiosity! Besides, Xiao Ye is so boring to be at home alone, children should go outside more during the holidays, right, Conan?"

"Ah, yes...... Uncle, you are so powerful, Mochizuki-san, he also wants to see his uncle's demeanor up close. Conan, who heard the roll call, had always helped Xiaolan speak, nodding his head in agreement, and a certain glasses gentleman who fully understood the character of Maori Kogoro did not change his face and complimented him without a heartbeat.

"Ah, so that's ......" Sure enough, in the next second, the single-celled Maori Kogoro was in a better mood after listening to Conan's explanation: "Haha, that's right, I'm the famous detective Maori Kogoro, with me, this kind of small case will definitely be solved satisfactorily!!"

He patted me on the shoulder with a big grin, and a certain fluttering adult uncle laughed narcissistically: "Boy, you came to the right place this time, hum, what a strange thief Kidd, this time he will definitely be planted in my hands!"

"......" looked at the unimaged Maori Kogoro in front of me rather speechlessly, and I secretly rolled my eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

This trip to Osaka, of course, I won't come because of Mori Kogoro, as Conan said, but Ran's words are right.

If it weren't for the fact that the great detective Mori Kogoro himself announced that he was going to participate in the case of the strange thief Kidd, I don't know where to start to secretly approach the so-called strange thief Kidd who appeared again after eight years.

And now, with the convenience of Mori Kogoro, I definitely won't miss it. So, when Xiaolan called yesterday to tell me that she was going to Osaka this morning, I agreed to come with me without hesitation.

Of course, the reason why the Mori family came to Osaka was not only Kidd, but there was also a more important reason: Shiho.

In the past, I would have scoffed at anyone who said that I would be a coward, but now I am indeed afraid to run away.

I really didn't know what to do with Shiho, so after confirming that Shiho's illness was really okay, I followed the three of them to Osaka almost with a heart of escape. I think I'll need some time to sort out my troubled mind.

"Xiaolan, this way~~" got off the escalator, and heard an energetic voice piercing the crowd from a distance.

"Garden!" Hearing her friend's voice, Xiaolan's eyes lit up, "Ah, I'm really embarrassed, Yuanzi, you've been waiting for a long time, right?"

"Haha, no......" Yuan Zi smiled heartily, and walked over while greeting him, and then looked at me in surprise: "Ah! What, this troublesome little ghost is also here?

Habitually dodging the claws of Suzuki Sonoko, I looked up and greeted politely, "Sister Sonoko." ”

"Che, really, you're still as boring as ever. Suzuki Yuanzi's hand was empty, he stood up boredly, and he didn't care, he turned his head and grabbed Xiaolan's arm, with a bright smile: "Nana, let's go, Xiaolan, the driver outside is still waiting for us~ I'll tell you, this time in order to greet you, I want an awesome car~~"

Ah, this sentence is so familiar, I always think I heard something similar last time I came to Osaka...... As I walked behind Sonoko Suzuki, I subconsciously remembered the not-so-pleasant experience I had last time I came to Osaka.

Shaking his head, he shook off the memory in his mind, and followed the mysterious Suzuki Sonoko out of the Shinkansen, and what was reflected in front of us was indeed a good car.

"Wow! Sitting in the car, Mori Kogoro showed his duty as a small farmer and praised the car: "It's really worthy of the Suzuki Foundation!"

"Well~~ because today is very special!" As the eldest lady of the Suzuki Group with deep pockets, Suzuki Sonoko, who was sitting opposite, obviously didn't care about Maori Kogoro's words, but her face was still full of excitement.

"Huh, special?"

"Well, yes, because ah......" Suzuki Sonoko folded his hands, and his face was undoubtedly similar to yesterday's Ayumi: "How can I say that I also want to meet the strange thief Kidd in my dreams~~ How can I do it if I am not grand?"

"Mo~ Garden, you're still so childish......" Xiaolan looked helplessly at her nymphomaniac friend and sighed.

"Haha, Miss Suzuki has been like this since I first met her, and she is a cute personality. The driver of the car suddenly smiled as he listened to our conversation.

"Mr. Nishino~" Listening to the driver's words, Suzuki Sonoko muttered unobtrusively, and then reacted: "Ah, by the way, I forgot to introduce it to you~ This is my father's secretary, Mr. Nishino, who is driving." ”

"Please advise!" Nishino smiled, distant, yet cordially greeted us.

"I'll tell you, Mr. Nishino, he's been living all over the world before, and he's fluent in English, French, and German. The garden proudly continued to introduce us.

"Huh, that's amazing!" Hearing that this driver gentleman knew so many languages, Xiaolan's eyes widened in surprise, and she looked at the young man sitting in the driver's seat with admiration.

"Hey, I said, aren't you jealous? Beware of your little girlfriend being snatched away. Looking at Xiaolan's eyes and poking Conan beside me, I asked with a narrow face, "How is it?"

"Cut!" Conan turned his head in anger.

I'm surprised to look at the bun-faced young detective next to me and laugh.

…………

Time passed quickly on the road, and it didn't take long for the group to reach their destination. As soon as I got out of the car, a sleek building came into view. Although the exterior is strongly contrasted with the glass curtain wall of large and large void, the color is very elegant, so that people can't help but have an elegant and luxurious pleasure......

But......

"Hah...... It's really a disappointment, a good work of art has been ruined by these people. "I looked left and right, and the place was no longer as clean and peaceful as it used to be, and on the contrary, the Suzuki Museum of Modern Art at this time could be described as heavily guarded.

Not to mention hiding in the shadows, it means that there are no less than dozens of guards in the line of sight, plus helicopters and planes patrolling overhead from time to time, this kind of vigilance, this new Kidd did not disgrace the famous thief in the past.

"Ah, it's really tightly guarded. Although she was mentally prepared, seeing so many people, Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh.

"yes, in my opinion, I am afraid that not even an ant can escape. I also didn't expect it to be such a big show, and Maori Kogoro on the side looked up at the flying helicopter with a sluggish face.

"Haha, of course, because the opponent is Kidd, the monster thief!" Suzuki Sonoko didn't care about this, there was a shining light in her eyes, and she didn't know what she was proud of, anyway, she just worshipped her face: "Na, he, but ......"

“…… The elusive gentleman of the strange thief, the prince of the night who changes freely," Suzuki Sonoko's words were not finished, and a very iconic Osaka accent sounded in people's ears: "No matter how strict the guard, no matter how strong the vault, he can miraculously crack it quickly, and even the appearance and voice he can imitate, it can be said that he is a very powerful cross-dressing master." ”

The man took off his helmet and looked directly at the little detective beside me with a torch-like gaze, and his eyes were full of excitement or fear when he met his opponent: "Now, this time I've really hit a tricky target, Kudo!"
