Chapter 18: Kidd the Strange Thief and Kazuto Kaneda

Masahiko Michiwaki is arrested, the beach murder is solved, and the Zero Sons finally return to Rice Flower Town, Tokyo after a day of fun in Izu.

Of course, Miss Yuanzi, who originally wanted to find a good man, got nothing this time, even if Zero tried her best to match her and Kyogoku Zhen on the last day, the two still didn't call, which made Zero sigh how difficult her fate was.

On the last day of Izu's trip, Zero observes everyone's intimacy with him, and both Ran and Sonoko reach a B- intimacy with him. It's much more difficult to continue to improve after B- intimacy, but if you can have B- intimacy, it means that the relationship is already good. Kyogoku Zhen's intimacy with himself reached B.,This makes Zero a headache.,I scolded him the night before.,Today I'm trying to match him and the garden.,As a result, his intimacy with himself has risen from C+ to B.,You guys shouldn't have masochistic tendencies, right? As for Conan's intimacy with himself as C-, it has finally increased a bit.

Back to his home, Zero and Er San enjoyed the summer vacation life.

So Zero took Er San to the movies, went to the playground, and went camping in the mountains, and the two sisters were happy.

Of course, Zero also participated in two Conan cases, but one of these two cases was not seen in the original work in the previous life, and the other was seen but not impressed, so although Zero also played a certain role in solving the case with his own ability, it was Conan who finally made the final decision.

In this regard, Conan's little fart child has also regained some self-confidence, it seems that although Kaneda Ichiko can show an extraordinary level of reasoning at some times, but after all, he does not have such a supernatural performance every time, and his performance can be said to be unstable, and he should be better overall than himself...... Probably.

On the afternoon of July 21, Zero received a call from the garden.

"Hey, Zero, we're going to Osaka this time."

I'll go, are you going to go to Osaka to have a man again? This time, you will not continue to take the people-friendly route like you did last time you went to Izu.

But this time Zero is not very willing to go, after all, I played more often with Er San some time ago, and I feel a little tired, and I want to rest at home for a while.

But just as Zero was about to say no, Sonoko's excited tone came from the other end of the phone: "This time we went to Osaka to meet the strange thief Kidd, and Lord Kidd sent a notice letter to our Suzuki family!" ”

"Kidd the Thief? He said he was going to steal something from your house? ”

"It's the Easter egg that our Suzuki family is scheduled to exhibit at the Suzuki Museum of Modern Art in Osaka, and Kidd-sama sent a notice letter saying that he was going to steal it. My dad invited Uncle Kogoro Mori to be a bodyguard, and Ran and Conan came with him, so I thought about inviting you and Nisan to come to Osaka together. ”

Easter eggs? Could it be that this is the plot of Conan's third theatrical version of "The Magician at the End of the Century"?

No, I still remember the plot of "The Magician at the End of the Century" more clearly, and the first sentence of the warning letter sent by Kidd is "From the lion at dusk to the girl at dawn", which means that the action time is after the last day of Leo and before the dawn of the first day of Virgo, that is, from the evening of August 22 to the early morning of August 23. However, today is only July 21st, which is a month away!

What's going on?

Forget it, don't think about it so much, anyway, the garden won't lie to itself, it's definitely a fact that the thief Kidd sent a notice letter. If you can catch the strange thief Kidd, it will be a great achievement, after all, this guy has played the police around every time, and even Conan can't do anything about him, if this is planted in his own hands, won't he become famous in the world?

"Well, I promised to go together, so when are we leaving?"

"I'm already in Osaka, tomorrow morning you and Xiaolan will take the Shinkansen to Osaka Station, I'll pick you up, and then there will be a special bus to take us to the museum."

Hanging up the phone, Zero was thinking about the relevant details in the theater version, and suddenly the voice of the system sounded: "Issued a temporary mission, the host will arrest the strange thief Kidd with his own strength without relying on anyone's help." Reward: 1 upgrade point. Mission time limit: 48 hours. ”

I'm going, and I'm going to give me another temporary assignment so soon?

According to what the system said before, temporary tasks are difficult tasks that are difficult to complete under normal circumstances, and this task is indeed not small. If you can rely on the police, it may not be so difficult to arrest Kidd on the premise that you know the plot, but now the system says that you must arrest Kidd by yourself, which means that no matter whether it is the police or Conan, you can't rely on their power, so it is really tricky to arrest Kidd.

Forget it, give it a try, even if you fail, it's not a big deal.

I mentioned to Ersan about going to Osaka tomorrow, and Ersan casually responded with an "oh" at the beginning, but when he heard Zero say that he was going to deal with the case related to the strange thief Kidd, Ersan's eyes suddenly flashed with some kind of light.

"Sister, are you going to catch Kidd the Monster Thief? Can you arrest him? Can I meet Kidd the Thief? Ahh......h

...... Lord Kidd? Well, I didn't know that my sister was still a fan of Kidd.

Ersan also realized that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly said, "Ahem, of course I still support your sister more." If it were someone else, I would have thought that Master Kidd would not have been arrested. But if it's my sister, I absolutely support my sister's arrest of Kidd...... But sister, after you arrest Kidd, can you secretly release him? ”

Zero Zi rubbed Ersan 's head and said with a smile: "Little girl, why do you want to do so much, go and prepare, we will go to Osaka early tomorrow morning." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” plot dividing lineβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Early the next morning, Zero met up with Ran, Kogoro and Conan in front of the Shinkansen station as he had contacted in advance.

When he arrived at the agreed place at the station, Zero unexpectedly found that there were two other acquaintances.

One was a male high school student, dressed in casual clothes that looked cheap at first glance, and a messy bird's nest head on his head, which looked rather unkempt.

The other person is a high school beauty, with fair skin that seems to be blown and broken, beautiful appearance, long black straight hair adds a bit of beautiful temperament, and although the clothes on her body are not expensive, she is extremely decently dressed.

Judging from the appearance alone, it seems that there should be no intersection between these two people, one is sloppy and the other is reserved, no matter how you look at it, they can't go together. But Zero knows that the relationship between the two is quite good.

These two are none other than his cousin Kazuichi Kaneda, and his childhood sweetheart Miyuki Nanase.

Kaneda Kazuichi - Force: D, Intelligence: S-, Intimacy: B-.

Miyuki Nanase - Force: D-, Intelligence: C-, Intimacy: B.

Kaneda Kazuyi, needless to say, is a high school genius on the same level as Kudo Shin. As his cousin, the relationship between him and himself is not bad, but after all, he is not as close to himself as his sister Ersan.

Miyuki Nanase, Kaneda Kazui's childhood sweetheart, and she grew up with Ah Yi, so she can be regarded as her own childhood sweetheart. She used to chat, eat and go shopping with Miyuki a lot, so the relationship between her and herself is also deeper, and in terms of her intimacy with herself, she is even higher than Ah Yi.

The question is how they are here, and they seem to be talking to Kogoro Maori or something, but the atmosphere between Aichi and Kogoro doesn't seem to be very good.

"Aichi, Miyuki, how are you." Zero first stepped forward to say hello, and then asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"Yo, Sister Zero, it's the first time we've seen each other since you changed schools." When Ah Yi saw Zero, he no longer bothered with Kogoro, and said to Zero enthusiastically, "Naturally, we are here to help you catch the monster thief Kidd!" ”

Miyuki added, "It was yesterday that Ah Yi contacted Two-Three and said that he wanted to come to your house as a guest today, and then Two-Three told Iichi about the strange thief Kidd. Ah Yi was more interested, so he asked me to come and help you. And we happened to meet the Maori detective, and because the Maori detective is a celebrity, we chatted. ”

As for the reason why Ah Yi and Miyuki appeared here, Zero guessed the same. The relationship between Ah Yi and Er San is also very good, and if he can appear here, he must have something to do with Er San. And today it's July 21st, and it's already summer vacation in high school, so Ah Yi has free time to join in the fun.

However, when Miyuki mentioned chatting with the Maori detective, Aichi and Kogoro both looked disgusted, and it seemed that the relationship between them was not as simple as Miyuki said.

Zero guessed that it should be Kogoro who saw Miyuki's beauty, so he stepped forward to talk to him, so he had a dispute with Ah Yi.

However, considering that Ah Yi is also a character who can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman, it is also possible that he went to talk to Xiaolan and then had an unpleasant quarrel with Kogoro. Of course, since Miyuki is on the side, this is less likely, but it's not completely impossible, after all, Aichi also has a precedent for accosting other beauties in front of Miyuki.

Zero is also not interested in knowing who provoked each other first between Kogoro and Ah Yi, in short, now they all look at each other unpleasantly, only to hear Ah Yi mock Kogoro and say: "What 'sleeping Kogoro', I think it's just a false appearance, in fact, it's a straw bag." Thanks to the media's praise, they have blown you into a detective, which is really sad of the times! ”

Ah Yi is worthy of Ah Yi, although I don't know if this evaluation is subjective and prejudiced, but it is still very accurate overall.

"Hmph, just because you want to catch Kidd the Monster Thief too?" Kogoro sneered, "If Miss Zero had been, I believe she might be able to do it, but just a scumbag like you, who can see at a glance that her academic performance is very poor, is also delusional to catch Kidd?" Don't think that you can come out to be a detective with the surname of Kanedaichi, let's go home and dream honestly, and save the ancestors from embarrassment. ”

Oh, Uncle Maori, you can actually see the fact that Ah Yi is a scumbag. Although Ah Yi has a very high IQ, he doesn't like to study, and he either relies on cheating to pass the exam, or he simply takes a low score. Of course, if Ah Yi is serious about studying, it is very simple for him to rush to his grades in a short period of time.

It seems that Aichi and Miyuki should have introduced themselves, and Kogoro knew that Aichi and Zero were cousins, so he would take Kaneda Ichikosuke to block him.

Conan circled around Ah Yi twice, and it seemed that he was also very interested in Ah Yi. After the transfer of zero, Ah Yi also solved some cases, Kogoro didn't pay much attention, but Conan had seen the news. Although Ah Yi is not good-looking and looks sloppy, Conan doesn't care, after all, it is rumored that Kaneda Ichikosuke looked like this, and this Kaneda Ichisuke can be said to have been inherited very well. is a peerless beauty with an outstanding temperament like Zero, but it is completely different from the image of Kanedaichi in Conan's mind.
