Chapter 120: Birthday Celebration
Early the next morning, Sato sent me back to the office alone because I still had to go to work. I didn't mention anything about last night's incident with Sato.,So we tacitly ignored it.,Our relationship has also returned to the simple sister-brother relationship in the past.,If you insist on saying anything different.,It's probably Sato's sudden burst of "motherhood".,Because I didn't give Sato any explanation.,Sato seems to have made up a "tragic experience" in his own brain to my body.,As a result, the eyes that look at me now are called a "gentle as water",I can see my cold hair stand on end......
Conan and Uncle Mori and their party will not be able to return from Osaka for another day, so there is still no one in the office, and it is deserted, I sit alone in the living room and watch TV, which is very lively, but my heart is empty. Usually I don't feel anything special when they're there, but it wasn't until they weren't there that I realized that I wasn't used to being alone at all......
I went to the doctor's house once, Xiao Ai was sleeping, and as I expected, Xiao Ai was working alone in the basement until dawn last night. I felt uncomfortable looking at Xiao Ai's increasingly pale face, but I didn't know what to do to stop Xiao Ai's almost fanatical enthusiasm for work. I persuaded Xiao Ai many times, and I also forcibly stopped her work progress, but these are useless, Xiao Ai's character is not generally stubborn, although she is willing to listen to me when I am there, but once I am not by her side, she will put my words behind again......
I know very well that Xiao Ai's motivation for work is actually me. My physical condition has always been a concern for Xiao Ai. Although I have been hiding the specific condition from Xiao Ai and the people around me, as a doctor, or more precisely as the developer of APTX-4869, Xiao Ai is very aware of how serious the situation is that "my body changes are not within the scope of her expectations", and it is not an exaggeration to say that if I suddenly die of a cerebral hemorrhage one day, it should be a normal thing......
This mangled body is really disgusting......
There was no one in the office, Xiao Ai was sleeping again, and I had nowhere to go, so I had to wander aimlessly through the streets.
Occasionally passing by a newsstand, I just unintentionally raised my eyes to look, and the eye-catching words "Kidd the Strange Thief" in my eyes attracted my attention......
This guy hasn't stopped lately...... I smiled slightly. This guy hasn't contacted me for stealing things recently, but judging from the report, it's not a big case, it's not very difficult, and Officer Nakamori Ginzo still doesn't have any new tricks except for crowd tactics, so Kuaito didn't bother to let me help.
"How is it? I'm fascinated by Uncle Ben's figure, right?" A smug Qingyue pleasant voice suddenly sounded behind him: "I can sign for you!"
"Quick...... I looked back in surprise at Kaito's smiling face with the same cynical expression as ever, and said in surprise, "Why are you here? Don't you have to go to school?
"Go to school or something, do you think that kind of place you still need to go to as the great Lord Kidd?"
"Please don't take skipping class for granted. So, did you skip class and come all this way here to find me?" I asked helplessly.
"Oh, you little devil is still quite conscious!" Kaito exclaimed exaggeratedly, then bent down and maliciously ravaged my hair, with a wicked smile on his face, "Then guess what I came to you for." ”
"Stop!" I tore Kuaidou's hand away, rolled my eyes while arranging my hair, and said angrily: "You little thief came so far to find me, what good thing will there be besides some chicken and dog thieves?"
"NONO," KUAITO HELD OUT A FINGER AT ME AND WAVED IT, "AS A BROTHER, YOUR DISTRUST SIMPLY HURTS MY HEART, BUT I CAME TO YOU THIS TIME BECAUSE I HAD SOMETHING GOOD!"
"A good thing?" I looked at Kaidou suspiciously: "It's a good thing to have something to do with you?"
"Hey, what do you mean by that? Am I a scourge? Isn't it good to get along with me? Do you think I'm Conan's boy?"
"Do you think you're much better than him?" I rolled my eyes again.
Kaidou: "......"
"Okay, okay, if you have something to say, I will definitely help you, how old are you, and you are still drawing circles in the corner!
"Really?" Kaito looked up at me with tears in his eyes.
"You can leave this set to deal with Qingzi, tell me quickly, I'm busy. I waved my hand and said with a headache.
"Actually, this matter is related to Qingzi, and it was Qingzi who asked me to come to you. ”
"Huh?"
"Actually, today is Aoko's birthday. Speaking of business, Kaito was no longer funny, and said with a smile: "So, she wants to have a birthday party at home and call some classmates who usually have a good relationship to get together, so I came to you." ”
"But I told Aoko that I was from Osaka, right? How could Aoko have thought of letting me participate when I'm so far away?" I asked, a little puzzled.
"I told her. Kaito said something remarkable with a relaxed expression.
"Huh?"
"It doesn't matter, Qingzi really misses you very much, and you don't take the initiative to look for her, so I told her that you just came to Tokyo yesterday to visit relatives, and take the opportunity of this birthday party to see Qingzi, it's not a big deal, right?"
"What's not a big deal?" I endured the sudden green tendons on my head, gritted my teeth, and said, "So many people see me, if I happen to run into Qingzi or her classmates or something when I am with Xiaolan and them, not only will I be in trouble, but I'm afraid you will also be bad, right? "The key question is, Koizumi Hongzi, this troublesome woman, I don't want to have any intersection with her.
"It's okay, right? Anyway, you've been seen by so many people in my class, and you look so prominent, the people in my class have long remembered your appearance, and Jiang Gutian and Mihua are so far away, they don't usually meet you, right?"
“...... That's just as well. "After thinking about it for a while, I realized that what Kaito said was indeed quite reasonable, Qingzi was good to me, and it made sense that I should indeed go.
"Then it's decided!" Seeing that I agreed, Kaito was also very happy.
"So let's go buy a gift now?"
"There's no hurry," Kuaito's expression became grinning again after a few minutes of seriousness at the mention of the gift: "Before that, there is a small matter that needs to be dealt with......"
“...... Huh?"
......
"That's the little thing you're talking about?" I asked Kaito on a breezy night, standing on the roof of the museum building where tomorrow's "Great Treasures of India" exhibition will be held, with a light breeze on my head. This time, the target of the fast fight is aimed at the gem from India, which is said to be the national treasure of India, and once you do it, you can think about it with your ass and know that the events that will follow will definitely be extremely troublesome.
"Well, this exhibition is India's largest sapphire 'Blue Birthday'! Kaito said with a smile. Changed into Kidd's clothes, as if Kidd also possessed Kaito's body, and Kaito's face at this time was full of confident and flamboyant charm.
"Oh, the laser rays with no dead spots at all, the special alloy fence that can't be opened, and the floor with high-voltage electricity, such a defense is already very powerful, isn't it?" I laughed as I peeked into the room through the hole that Kaito had made in the ceiling, listening to Officer Nakamori's assurances in front of the museum director.
"Peace of mind," Kuaidou waved his hand and said, "It's just a small skill of carving insects, I don't need you to help me this time, I can do it myself." You just have to stay with me here, and when I'm done with my work, we'll go buy a birthday present for Aoko and go to her house. Maybe even Kaito himself didn't notice that when he talked about Aoko, there was a soft curve at the corner of his mouth.
"Really?" I was a little skeptical.
"Just look!" said Kuaito, whose trademark smirk rose again into his face, and he bent down and shoved a small ball into the hole in the ceiling.
"Then, I'll go to the stage first, and you can enjoy my performance from this 'VIP seat'!" Kaito laughed, and disappeared from the roof in the blink of an eye.
The ball fell down the hole and landed on the booth containing the gems in the room, quickly inflated itself without causing anyone present, and in the blink of an eye, a "Kidd" appeared in the anti-theft device that Officer Nakamori boasted about in front of people.
"Cut, this guy, he's really getting more and more arrogant, is it true that no one in this world can cure him?" I pouted as I watched the movement in the exhibition room along the hole: "I hope Officer Nakamori can teach this kid a lesson." ”
Before the words came out, I suddenly remembered that if Kuaito was really deflated, maybe he would have to save him, and I couldn't help but retract my thoughts just now with some stupidity.
I hope he can go well, I just haven't seen Aoko in a long time.
The figure of the "strange thief Kidd" suddenly appeared in the so-called "foolproof" cage that had just been blown, and it was undoubtedly a slap in the face of Officer Nakamori in public, and the embarrassed and angry Officer Nakamori ordered his subordinates to remove the trap without thinking about it, and instead sent many of his subordinates to come forward to besiege "Kidd", but they didn't know that this was in the arms of Kuaito.
Next, I'm afraid that Kaito is going to pretend to be a police officer and fish in troubled waters in the crowd, right? Kuaito's technique is not weird, but Officer Nakamori, who has a tendon, just loves to eat Kuaidou, and if he doesn't mention Kuaidou, even I am speechless.
As I thought, Kaito pretended to be a police officer to find a gem in the chaos, and even tricked Officer Nakamori and a group of his subordinates into entering the cage on their own initiative, and he easily escaped from it, and things went very smoothly.
However, Officer Nakamori, who was supposed to be angry because of Kidd's capture, showed a triumphant smile, which surprised me slightly.
Could it be that Nakamori has other plans? Unexpectedly, Officer Nakamori, who has always been solid-eyed, finally enlightened himself after being teased many times by Kaito...... It's funny, if I can make Kaito suffer a loss, I'll have an excuse to make fun of Kaito in the future, hehe...... I was slightly excited.
"Alright, Battle Plan Part 1 has succeeded! Curator, please open the mechanism. Officer Nakamori said.
"Officer," the somewhat frustrated curator asked, skeptically, as he opened the mechanism, "Could it be that the gem that Kidd stole is a fake?"
"No, no, Kidd won't be deceived by fakes," Officer Nakamori smirked as he got up and patted the dust on his body, "Actually, the jewel has a miniature transmitter on the chain, even the monster thief Kidd can't take it off, that is to say, as long as the gem is in Kidd's hand, no matter where he escapes to the world, it can't escape from the palm ......of my hand!" Presumably it was this arrangement that made Nakamori unusually complacent, feeling that this time it seemed that the victory was in hand, and he ordered loudly to his subordinates with full of anger: "Capture the monster thief Kidd battle plan part2! Destroy the base camp battle!
After listening to Officer Nakamori's plan, I couldn't help but sigh in disappointment: "Sender? I'm afraid that kind of thing Kaito found out the moment he got the gem, right? I thought you had a good idea......
All that's left is to wait for Kaito to meet together.
However, as I was lying on my back yawning and waiting for Kaito to "return in triumph", the sound of scattered footsteps heading straight for the roof caught my attention.
No, Officer Nakamori, they're still in the exhibition room. Listening to the footsteps, I think there are no less than a dozen people.
My eyes froze slightly, at this time, when Kidd was committing the crime, bringing a group of people to this kind of place must be a bad person. Except for Kidd, I can't imagine what purpose this group of people has.
I quietly disappeared into a dark corner, watching the situation unfold.
The group of people who arrived suddenly did not appear directly on the roof, but only stopped outside the doorway to the roof. Needless to say, he must have been waiting for Kidd to arrive, right? As everyone knows, Kidd is good at manipulating the glide wing, and the wind is strong tonight, so the chances of Kidd escaping from the roof on the glide wing are self-evident.
I thought, I probably should do something...... I crept over to the small door that led to the roof.
Not long after, a white-clothed fast fighter fell from the sky.
"Hey, I'm here, huh, people?" Kuaito, who arrived on the roof, didn't see me as expected, and couldn't help but muttered with some dissatisfaction: "Really, where did this guy run again? It's so late, it's too late to leave." ”
"I'm here. I leaned against the doorframe and said lazily.
"Really, where have you gone? I can't find you anywhere. Seeing my shadow, Kaito couldn't help but complain, "In a while, Aoko's birthday party will be over!"
"I'm going to wipe your ass for you," I said angrily in the direction of the door, "thank me." "I had to do a lot of work just now to keep those people from seeing me.
Kuaidou looked in my direction, and saw a bunch of people lying in the inside of the door, which startled Kuaidou: "What are these people doing?"
"How do I know? I'm here for you anyway, but seeing that they're in ambush here, I'll take care of it for you first. "I shrugged, not caring about authenticity.
"You killed them?" Kuaito looked at me, his eyes frozen!
"No, don't look at me with such horrible eyes......" I waved my hand repeatedly, "It's just to stun them." ”
"Huh~" Hearing my words, Kuaidou breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at me with some relief: "You have changed." ”
"Is there any?" I was puzzled.
"Hehe, if it was you before, I would definitely kill them all. Kaito chuckled softly.
Hearing Kaito's words, I couldn't help but be stunned. Indeed, if it was me in the past, I would have dared to plot against my relatives and friends, and I would have killed them without mercy, but now I don't have the killing intent in my heart. This is probably Conan's subtle influence on me.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly: "No way, my brother is a Bodhisattva......"
"I'll leave the rest to you, if you want to know anything, just ask them, rest assured, their joints have been removed by me, and there will be no danger. I told Kaidou a word, and ran to the side to start.
I never thought about what Kaito said, but at this point, I really felt that I was no longer the ruthless me who was organizing. Whether this change is good or bad, I don't know. For a while, my heart was a little messy.
"Tsk, you guy, your hands are really black. Kuaidou lowered his tongue, but there was no dissatisfaction, after all, according to my previous style, I was already merciful.
After a while, I heard an exclamation not far away, "Kidd the Strange Thief?!", but it was the voice of the mustachioed man at the head of the group.
After a while, Kaito walked towards me with a gloomy face.
"What's wrong, your face stinks?" I asked Kaito, a little strangely.
"The crowd...... It seems to have something to do with my dad's death. Kaito gritted his teeth.
"What?!" I exclaimed. For so many years, the death of Uncle Thief has been an unsolved case, and it has become a heart disease for Kuaidou, but he didn't want to find clues in a group of thieves.
"That boss's level is too low, and he doesn't know much, so we have to go again and find their upline, I already asked for the place just now. Kuaidou said in a deep voice. Through the moonlight, you can see a faint flame rising under Kaidou's eyes.
"Well, without further ado, let's go. I nodded, followed in Kaito's footsteps, and walked out.
Sure enough, Kaito found the transmitter on the gem, and in order not to let the police interfere with our movements, Kaito let his pigeon fly away in the other direction with the gem, which instead diverted the attention of the police.
Not long after, under the guidance of Kaito, I came to a rather hidden courtyard. The eerie sense of déjà vu reminded me of the place where I first met GIN.
As soon as he turned his head, at some point, Kaito had already disguised himself as the leader just now. I was amazed by how amazing my makeup skills were, and while I could be transficent, I needed a lot of time and plenty of props, but I didn't.
"Ahem. Kaito coughed lightly twice, adjusted his voice, and in an instant, he transformed into the leader.
......
"Boss! Boss! Oh no! The brothers are all entangled in the strips and can't get out!" the embarrassed "little boss" shouted in panic as he ran into the yard.
"What?!" Hearing the voice, a middle-aged fat man weighing no less than 300 pounds ran out and said in surprise: "You have been found by the police?
"I've got it. The "Little Boss" smirked and handed over the "Blue Birthday" gem.
"Oh, this is the 'Blue Birthday'? Leave those fools alone, that adult will take care of it. I'm going to report to the adult. A voice filled with admiration rang out.
"Anyway, why are you so obsessed with that gem?
"Of course, but even that adult will have some things that can't be easily obtained," the fat man said with deep meaning.
"What?"
"Life. ”
"Life?!"
"This 'Blue Birthday' is one of the legendary gems scattered around the world, and if that is what the Lord wants, it may harbor some incredible power that human ingenuity has not been able to reach. ”
"Incredible...... Strength?" the "little leader" pondered the meaning of the words.
"Did you know that once in 10,000 years, the comet of Burley hit the earth? According to the legend handed down from ancient times, when the comet Burley approached the earth, it offered the stone of life to the full moon, so that it would shed tears......
"Tears?"
"And then, the one who drank the tears......"
"Drink...... The one who drank the tears?" Seeing the fat man's smirking expression, the "little leader" couldn't help but ask.
"It will fulfill the ultimate dream of mankind that no one has done before, that is, immortality!" said the fat man's face with a terrifying fervor!
"Long ...... Immortal?!"
"However, there is only one of those big gems that can have this power, and unfortunately, I don't know which one it is. The fat man shook his head and said, "That's right, we can only collect ...... one by one before the next time Comet Burley approaches Earth."
"But how do you tell the difference?"
"That's easy, just lift it up and see it through the moonlight," said the fat man, holding up the gem to the bright moonlight, "If it's a gem that hides that power, the other gem that sleeps inside it will glow a dazzling red, and that's the Stone of Destiny...... Pandora!"
"......I see," the "little boss" groaned.
"Do you understand, Kidd the Thief?" said that, the fat man suddenly turned his head and smiled at the "little leader".
"I don't understand what you mean, boss. Faced with the fat man's questioning, the "little leader" was a little caught off guard.
"Do you still want to pretend? My unsuccessful subordinates have already called back, and I have been waiting for you all morning, Kidd the Strange Thief!" With the fat man's words, a large group of men in black poured out of the house, surrounding the "little boss".
"Ahh The "little leader" was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and casually ripped off the mask, revealing Kidd's cynical handsome face: "Thank you so much, tell me so much." ”
"You're welcome, I didn't want you to leave. The fat man smiled and shouted, "Do it!"
Many men in black shouted and rushed forward, but they could only hear a "bang!", and after a puff of smoke, Kidd had already appeared on the wall.
"Old man, I've worked hard for you tonight, and I've told me so many things, and I'll give you that 'Blue Birthday' as a reward, but it's a pity that there is no Pandora in it. Of course, I think you'll like the other gift that comes with it. Kidd, who stood against the wind at the head of the wall, had his usual smile on his lips, and his dress was hunting.
"It's ...... Transmitter?!" It was only at this moment that the fat man suddenly noticed a strange object with a faint red glow on the gem.
"Hmph! What immortality! Don't be embarrassed here! Tell your boss behind the scenes, I blame the thief Kidd will definitely find that Pandora gem before you and crush it!" Kidd yelled at the people below and disappeared, and the annoyed people below just woke up and pursued, but suddenly heard the sound of a police car.
"Kidd, the thief, your lair is surrounded by us!
......
"Done?" I asked around the corner as I approached Kaito.
"Ah, I know a lot of things. With that, Kaito threw a bugging device at me: "Give the thing back to you." ”
"Maybe those guys are telling you on purpose to mention them to Pandora," I smiled faintly, "Hey, immortal......"
"Fools believe their stupid words, and they still live forever......" Kaito pursed his lips and said with some disdain, "If it weren't for the investigation of Dad's affairs, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to them." ”
"Who knows," I shrugged, rolled my eyes at Kaito, and grinned, "Don't jump to conclusions, don't forget, there's a living example in front of you, rejuvenation!"
Kuaidou was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and then muttered, "Pandora, ......"
"Sa, let's go, Qingzi probably can't wait. "I got up and patted the dirt on my buttocks.
"Aoko, oh no! I forgot!" Kuaito slapped his head suddenly, looked at his watch, and suddenly screamed: "It's too late, isn't it?" It turned out that the time was already half past eleven, and in another half an hour, Aoko's birthday would have passed.
"Then what should I do? Otherwise, you will have to go and plead guilty tomorrow, and just say that you want to kill and listen to the honorable ......" I have an irresponsible bad idea.
"What should I do......" Kaito pulled his hair frantically as he slashed around, his eyes rolling.
"There it is!" "Kaito suddenly saw a towering office building, thought of an idea, and cried out in surprise.
"What?" I asked, somewhat confused.
"Don't worry about it, just come with me, I can't help you. Kuaito said, and without waiting for me to reply, he picked me up and started running!
"Hey, let me down, I can walk on my own! It's a shame!"
"Don't be wordy! Your little short legs are too slow!"
......
On the way to run, Kuaito inevitably called to apologize to Qingzi, as expected, Qingzi, who was released by Kaidou, was unusually depressed and scolded Kaidou fiercely, but Kaito didn't care, still looking hippie smiling.
"I ...... I'm ...... I've been waiting for you......" Aoko on the phone sobbed: "What did you say about using my magic to instantly ignite the atmosphere, and what did you say about bringing Xiaoguang to see me...... I hate you the most!"
"That...... Don't say that yet, look out the window, Aoko. Kaito put away his playful expression and said softly. As he spoke, he glanced at me beside me.
"Yes......" I replied reluctantly, quickly typing a command into the stolen computer. This guy is really good at directing people.
"Outside the window?" Aoko said hesitantly, but it quickly turned into an exclamation! Obviously, she saw something outside the window.
I saw that the glass wall of a tall building was lit up with a little light, and in an instant, several extremely conspicuous big characters were formed: HARRYBIRHTDAY! It also comes with a cartoon smiley face.
"No......" Aoko's incredulous mutters came over the phone.
"It's too early to be surprised!" Kaito said, glancing at me again.
"I see......" muttered, and I pressed the button again.
Bang bang ......
Clusters of brilliant fireworks exploded under the brilliant starry sky, and the brilliant light was so moving under the starry sky! The fireworks prepared by the company, which was going to hold its opening ceremony in three days, were all ignited and launched by me within three minutes, and tens of millions of them instantly turned into beautiful fireworks in the sky......
The beautiful fireworks render the ultimate romance in the deep starry sky, and even the initiators me and Kaito were shocked. Aoko finally lost her speech on the other side of the phone, and all that was left was an unspeakable gasp of excitement.
In the future, when Xiao Mourning celebrates his birthday, I will also come to this once. I thought silently. But thinking that once it caused a sensation, it would be very troublesome for me and Xiao Ai, so I had to reluctantly give up this idea.
The surrounding residents were awakened by the sound of fireworks, and opened their windows to poke their heads out to check the situation, only to see the flames in the sky......
"It's so beautiful......" Aoko's voice came from the other end of the phone with excitement and trembling, but it was extremely excited, and she didn't know what to say except "so beautiful".
"HappyBirthday, Aoko. Kuaito said softly on the other end of the phone, with an indissoluble tenderness on his face.
......
Aoko on the other side of the phone is probably going to be excited and can't sleep all night, but me and Kaito on the other end of the phone are ......
"Bastard, who told you to leave your name on the glass wall!, so that Aoko won't think that everything is your fault?!" Kaito said as he grabbed my neck and gritted his teeth.
"Ahem, let go! It's my own credit!" I rolled my eyes: "Whether it's hacking into this company's network or stealing the flowers, isn't it all done by me, aren't you just moving your mouth......"
"Who said that! I stole that computer!"
"Don't talk so openly about stealing!"
"Hello! Lord Kidd the Strange Thief is here for their pleasure!"
......
