After walking up the stairs to the top floor of the Aido Hotel, Kitahara looked around the rooftop and found no one.

It's still a few minutes before twelve o'clock, so it seems we have to wait here for a while.

He leaned against the wall of the stairs, his brown eyes looking at the bright full moon in the sky, and the burning cigarette butt in his hand seemed to be dyed with a thin layer of mist.

Time passed slowly as the hands on the watch turned, and twelve o'clock soon arrived.

The cold wind whistled on the rooftop, and a pair of white leather shoes made a crisp sound when they stepped lightly on the stone floor.

Although the sound is not too loud, it is easily noticeable in the quiet night.

Here we come.

Kitahara Hao threw the burning cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it lightly with the toe of his black shoe, and raised his head to look outside the rooftop.

At some point, a figure wearing a white dress with a white cloak hanging behind him appeared on the originally empty rooftop.

The pure white color scheme is very conspicuous in the dark night, as if it is promoting its existence in a high-profile manner, and does not look like a thief at all.

"You're really on time, Mr. Phantom Thief."

Breathing out the smoke in his mouth, Kitahara Hao walked out of the stairwell and spoke softly.

I have to say, this guy is more stuck than he is at work.

"...I can't help it, after all, this is a show."

Kaitou Kidd, who had just landed, was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect there was someone behind him, but then he chuckled calmly.

"If we are late, the audience will be disappointed."

The warning letter has never been solved before, but I didn't expect it to be solved this time - it seems that Uncle Nakamori and the others have also made progress.

With this thought in mind, he slowly turned around with his hands in his pockets, a bright smile on his lips.

However, when he saw the figure behind him, Kaitou Kid couldn't help but pause in his steps, and a flash of surprise flashed through his eyes hidden under his monocle.

How could it be him?

He still knew the person in front of him - after all, he was a famous detective who had appeared on TV and in newspapers.

"First meeting, Officer Kitahara."

Kaitou Kid greeted with a chuckle.

Although it is indeed a bit unexpected, polite greetings are still necessary.

“But—Officer Kitahara, you didn’t come here alone, right?”

He glanced at the stairs behind him thoughtfully, and then asked subtly.

He obviously found his location, but he came alone.

Is this detective a little too arrogant...

"It's really just me, but it's enough."

Kitahara Hao responded with a slight smile, looking at the elegant figure under the moonlight.

The brim of the white top hat obscured his face, making it difficult to see clearly. The only thing that could be seen clearly was the smile that always appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Enough?" Kaitou Kid repeated with interest, and then said with a smile, "You don't think you can catch me by yourself, do you?"

This is definitely not a conceit.

You must know that in the past, the Metropolitan Police Department deployed most of its police force and was unable to catch him - let alone him alone. It was simply a joke.

"I didn't say I wanted to catch you, and..."

Kitahara Hao paused and gently held his chin with one hand.

Suddenly he had a good idea.

"And what?"

After hearing the words, Kaitou Kid's curiosity was suddenly attracted, and he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

"It's too easy for me to catch you."

Kitahara Hao said casually.

The main reason why Kaitou Kidd is so difficult to catch is that his identity is unknown.

If you know this guy's true identity, you can just come to him if you want to catch him.

After all, he is just a high school student still in school.

"You are really confident, Officer Kitahara."

Kaitou Kid laughed and shook his head, then took out a walkie-talkie from his collar and said in a flirtatious tone.

"But it would be too boring if you were the only one in the audience, so it's better to have more people."

After all, he didn't come here to steal any gems, but to wish them a happy April Fool's Day.

Naturally, the more people, the better.

After all, the program will be more effective if there are more people.

However, just when he put the walkie-talkie to his mouth and was about to speak, a familiar voice suddenly came.

"Kuroba Kaito!"

Naka...Uncle Nakamori! ?

After hearing this familiar name and voice, the smile on Kaitou Kid's face froze, and the hand holding the walkie-talkie trembled.

What a joke!

When was my identity revealed?

Cold sweat gradually broke out on his forehead, and he raised his head stiffly, trying to find the source of the sound...

But——except for Kitahara Hajime, who was holding a lollipop in his mouth, there was no one else.

"You look nervous, Mr. Phantom Thief."

Beitahara leaned against the wall behind him and asked with interest.

As expected of Kuroba Toichi's camouflage skills, it was easy to deceive Kaitou Kidd.

"...You should have called that name just now, right?"

Kaitou Kid put down the walkie-talkie in his hand, his eyes under the monocle gradually narrowed, and he couldn't help but ask.

Although it was a question, his tone was very sure.

After all, the truth has been put in front of him, so he can't help but not believe it.

"Do you want to hear it again?" Kitahara Hao bit the candy in his mouth and said slowly, "Kuroba-san."

This guy - he really knows my identity!

Kaitou Kid's heart beat suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly, and the smile on his face gradually fell.

He can disguise his own voice, and he also knows his identity...

"Who are you, and what is your purpose of waiting for me here?"

Kaitou Kid took a deep breath and asked in a serious tone.

He also discovered now that the other party's statement that he could catch him easily was not a lie.

"Relax a little, I'm so nervous that I can't have a good 0.6 chat... Do you want a cigarette?"

Kitahara Hao didn't pay attention to the expression on his face at all, and asked with a slight smile.

But then he thought of something again, and he slowly put the cigarette back in his hand.

"Oh, yes, it seems that minors are not allowed to smoke."

"Tsk, answer my question."

Kaitou Kid's eyes twitched slightly, and he said in an inexplicably unhappy tone.

"It's very simple. I'm looking for you because I want you to do something for me."

Beihara looked at him and said.

"Why should I help you?"

Kaitou Kid took a step back and asked with half-closed eyes.

Why……

Kitahara Hao glanced at him with his peripheral vision, then looked at the full moon in the night, and said with a smile: "Kaito-kun, you don't want Nakamori Aoko either..."

(Ah, one more chapter to go).

163: Miyamoto Yumi: Miwako can’t satisfy you?

"Kaito-kun, you probably don't want Nakamori Aoko to know your identity, right?"

As the words fell, Kaitou Kid took a deep breath.

This feeling of being threatened is really unpleasant.

And is this really what a police officer should do?

"...What do you need me to do for you?"

After being silent for a long time, he finally chose to compromise. He looked directly at Kitahara Hao in front of him and spoke slowly.

No way, Aoko must not let Aoko know about the identity of Kaitou Kidd - he still knows how much Nakamori Aoko hates Kaitou Kidd.

After all, that was the thief who almost got her father fired.

Every time, his father is played around like a clown, easily manipulated by applause, and has become a joke in the police circle. It would be strange if he didn't hate him.

If Nakamori Aoko really knew her identity...

You will definitely be doomed!

Thinking of this, Kaitou Kid couldn't help but shudder.

No, he must not be allowed to tell.

"I thought you would struggle a little longer, but I didn't expect 12 to give in so quickly."

Kitahara Hao shook his head and said with a regretful tone.

This guy has a really bad character.

Seeing the expression on his face, Kaitou Kid clenched his fists and thought subconsciously.

"Let me tell you first, I won't do things like murder and robbery."

Holding back the unhappy emotions in his heart, Kaitou Kidd took the lead in reminding him.

If Kitahara's request is not too excessive, then he can naturally accept it in order to ensure that his identity is not exposed.

"After all, I'm a policeman, so how could I do something illegal like that?" Kitahara waved his hand and said disapprovingly, "I just want you to help me save someone."

Is it illegal to threaten people?

Kaitou Kidd glanced at him suspiciously and held his chin with one hand.

I don't know why, but he always feels like he can't trust this guy, and he also feels inexplicably uneasy inside.

After all, I knew nothing about him, but he knew me extremely well.

"I understand. If it's just to save people...I will help."

Kaitou Kidd sighed, and finally chose to believe what this guy said.

"What time is it?"

"There is no specific time yet, but you can add a line first, and I will notify you when the time comes."

Kitahara Hao lazily took out his mobile phone, showed his friend's QR code in front of him, and said in a slow tone.

"Kaito-kun should have a cell phone with him, right?"

"..."
