Stay away from Conan

"The real police officer Kawazoe Zenkyu drew a lottery in the shopping street the day before the incident, and won the grand prize, which gave him a three-day and two-night mysterious trip. So he set off on the trip. Then on the first day of the trip, Kawazoe Zenkyu's phone ran out of battery, and he was completely out of contact until the whole incident was over..."

After everything was settled, Gao Yuan and Kuroba Kaito met secretly in a car. In this way, Gao Yuan told Kuroba Kaito about what he had seen and heard in front of Inspector Nishimura not long ago.

Suddenly, Kuroba Kaito's expression became solemn after hearing this.

Then, Gao Yuan continued:

"In other words, the officer Kawazoe Zenkyu whom we met and contacted these days was not the real person, but someone pretending to be him. The method used... have you used it before?"

So, after listening to Gao Yuan's story, Kuroba Kaito nodded very seriously and said:

"Well... just like I used the identity of a staff member who changed the scrolls to sneak into the villa of the Fujiang Group this time, I also used this method to send away the person I needed to pretend to be..."

Having said this, Kuroba Kaito certainly understood what Gao Yuan meant by this, and had a clear idea about the identity of the person who pretended to be Officer Kawazoe Zenkyu——

"But..."

Soon, after thinking for a moment, Kuroba Kaito raised such a question.

Even if Kuroba Kaito didn't say it, Gao Yuan basically knew what he was talking about, that is, why -

Why did the first generation of Phantom Thief Kid Kuroba Toichi, who deliberately pretended to be dead in the incident eight years ago and disappeared for so long without any news, and even kept it a secret from his son Kuroba Kaito for so long, suddenly appear in this incident related to Keisaburo Axie's treasure, and deliberately pretend to be one of the police officers...

Speaking of which, if that police officer Kawazoe Zenkyu was his father in disguise, then wouldn't he have come into contact with him many times during the whole incident?

For example, when he pretended to be Okita Souji to go to Fukushiro's house, and when he left Fukushiro's house later, he was sitting alone in a car with him, and there was also the police station meeting room and the hospital...

At that time, did his father...

recognize him?

Thinking of this, Kuroba Kaito was obviously a little melancholy, and didn't understand what his father would think if he actually recognized him?

In this regard, thinking of this, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but focus his thoughts on this aspect. On the contrary, Gao Yuan was indeed very curious about the purer reason why Kuroba Toichi participated in this time -

Is it because of the sudden appearance of the clue "Dongkubo Ronglong" related to Keizaburo Axie's treasure, or because it involves the participation of the arms dealer Monkura?

Speaking of which, judging from the fact that Kuroba Toichi took the Star Edge Blade and has not returned it until now, he seems to not want later people to look for Keizaburo Axie's treasure. So is he because he wants to prevent the incident derived from this treasure?

Or...

He just happened to be in Hakodate City and encountered this incident, so he came to try to see?

In this way, it is estimated that it is difficult to get an answer to this doubt without asking the person himself, but the original purpose of this trip to Hakodate has been achieved, and the answer to confirming Kuroba Toichi's whereabouts has basically been found, so after that...

On the premise that it is clear that Kuroba Toichi is still alive, the next step is to find a way to find him.

If you think about it this way, the "Phantom Thief Crow" that appeared in the original "Magic Kaito" looks so similar to Kuroba Toichi. Could it be that it is actually Kuroba Toichi himself?

So, thinking of this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but say to Kuroba Kaito:

"Speaking of which, do you know "Phantom Thief Crow"?

After saying this, Kuroba Kaito was also a little confused. He didn't understand why Gao Yuan suddenly said such a title, and it was so similar to his name of Kaito Kid.

So, Kuroba Kaito asked:

"Who is that?"

In this regard, seeing Kuroba Kaito's reaction, Gao Yuan knew that it seemed that Kuroba Kaito's plot had not yet reached the "Phantom Thief Crow" incident, but thinking that since "Spider" had already appeared, it was estimated that the original plot of "Magic Kaito" would probably be staged sooner or later.

In this case, Gao Yuan said:

"I don't know how to explain it to you specifically, but if you meet this person in the future, you'd better pay attention to him. I feel that this person may be the key to your finding your father."

Gao Yuan reminded without saying anything final.

So, Kuroba Kaito also remembered this name in his mind, thinking that he would ask Grandpa Terai to check it out after returning.

So, with the end of this conversation, Kuroba Kaito and Takato Bian parted ways. Takato was going back to meet up with Ai and the others, while Kuroba Kaito was going to go to the hospital with his real identity to visit the injured Nakamori Ginzo and see Nakamori Aoko who was also in Hakodate...

However, Takato and Kuroba Kaito thought they had concealed their meeting from everyone, but in fact, at this moment, on a tall pillar on the Hakodate Mountain, Kawazoe Zenkyu, dressed in a suit, stood on it silently like a ghost -

Because in the dark, the figure was extremely hidden at this high place, and even if you looked up, you could hardly see his existence.

This work was organized and uploaded by~~

So, he just stood there quietly, looking down at the direction where Gao Yuan and Kuroba Kaito parted ways. "Kawazoe Zenkyu" narrowed his eyes slightly, with a faint smile on his lips, and then--

"Kawazoe Zenkyu" waved his hand, and actually took off all the disguises of "Kawazoe Zenkyu", revealing his true face.

He was wearing a black suit and a top hat, and his appearance could not be seen clearly, but his outfit was completely the same as that of Kaito Kid, but in a completely black style.

Then, he took out a samurai sword with a star-shaped blade from somewhere, and the corner of his mouth suddenly grinned, revealing an extremely arrogant smile.

At this moment, if Gao Yuan was here, he would definitely recognize that the other party was the "Phantom Thief Crow" he knew, and the two mustaches on his lips were exactly the appearance of Kuroba Toichi, and the samurai sword he was holding was the Star Edge Sword that had been lost in Toshogu Shrine until now.

So, after this person seemed to confirm the relationship between Gao Yuan and Kuroba Kaito, he suddenly threw his cloak behind him and disappeared into the night...

...

Time passed in a flash, and when Gao Yuan returned to his residence, it was still the villa he rented with Ooka Hongye and the others. It was already late at night. He originally wanted to rest tonight and consider returning tomorrow, but Gao Yuan suddenly met a person he didn't want to see here--

Mitarai Kinmune!
