Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Chapter 209 I'm super! Box!

"Hehehe, little cousin, come quickly, I have prepared a big gift for you!"

After setting up the simple barbecue facilities on the roof, Conan took out the gift he had prepared for Kid from the refrigerator next to him with a sly smile:

He went to the supermarket specifically to buy some big fish!

"Look how thoughtful I am as your cousin. I know you love fish the most, so I specially prepared so much grilled fish for you. If you don't appreciate it, I'm afraid I'll be sad~"

While muttering to himself, Conan began to grill the fish.

Although his cooking skills are average, barbecue doesn't require any cooking skills! As long as it's cooked, you can add some seasoning.

Therefore, under Conan's operation, a fragrance soon wafted from several big fish.

Soon, Mingmei brought Ai to the rooftop.

"? Sister Mingmei, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at Mingmei who appeared here, Conan asked with some confusion. He invited Xiao Ai, but why did Mingmei appear here?

"Why, you are allowed to invite my sister, but I am not allowed to come along?"

Mingmei questioned. However, looking at the smile in her eyes, it was not difficult to tell that she was just teasing Conan.

"Come to think of it, didn't we say we were going to wait for Kidd here? Why are we having a barbecue?"

Looking at the small oven on the side, Mingmei asked curiously.

"Because I have something I want to discuss with Kidd, and I need him to remove his disguise! So, prepare some food in advance so I can ask him for help later~"

Conan said with a smile. As for whether this reason was true or not, he believed it anyway. Whether others believed it or not was none of his business.

"Is that so?"

Looking at Conan, Mingmei could feel that he was hiding something, but she didn't ask any further questions. She just nodded, then went to the barbecue grill and started helping.

"Great Detective, how long do you think it will take for Kidd to arrive?"

Looking at the empty roof and the brightly lit Rice Flower Museum in the distance, Xiao Ai asked.

"Well, that should be about right."

He glanced at his watch and it was already 0:20. According to the script, Kidd should appear here in ten minutes at most.

"Well, there's only ten minutes left. Let's have some grilled fish. After we're done, Kidd should show up!"

As he said that, Conan picked up a skewer of grilled fish he had already prepared and handed it to Ai.

"......it is good."

Looking at the grilled fish in her hand, Xiao Ai was stunned for a moment, nodded, and began to eat it in small bites.

Looking at Ai's actions, Conan smiled, then came to Mingmei and started working with her.

Although teasing Kidd only requires one grilled fish, these grilled fish are not all used to tease Kidd! Therefore, it is better to grill them all!

Then, the entire roof became quiet in an instant, with only the sound of burning charcoal and the sound of Xiao Ai eating beside her.

"coming!"

At this moment, Conan suddenly looked up at the sky, and sure enough, a figure in white clothes descended from the sky and landed on the roof.

"Little boy, and this lady, why are you here so late?"

Not noticing what was on top of the oven, Kidd looked at the three people below with a faint smile on his face.

only.....

"Why is Kidd's face so bloated?"

That's right, Conan wanted to say something, but when he saw Kid's swollen cheeks under his glasses, he fell silent. In the end, he just said this.

Kidd has the same standard oval face as when he grew up, but the Kidd in front of him looks like his face is swollen and round!

If it weren't for his iconic monocle and white clothes, Conan really couldn't believe that the guy in front of him was Kaito Kid!

"By the way, are you really Kidd?"

"Of course! But kid, could it be that you figured out my code?"

As he spoke, Kidd looked at the three people present curiously.

Is this what Hongzi said, that would reveal his true identity? It's clearly just two little ghosts and a woman... Wait, there are traces of disguise on this woman's face?

"No wonder that guy said my true identity might be exposed tonight. Turns out there are other people like me! It's just that your level is too low."

"That guy? Koizumi Hongzi?"

After hearing Kidd's words, Conan's heart moved slightly. He didn't expect that Koizumi Hongzi actually existed? He didn't know whether Hongzi was the inheritor of red magic in this world.

"Who are you... Koizumi Hongzi?"

Kaito almost exposed himself when he heard Anko's name from Conan out of the blue. Fortunately, he reacted in time and swallowed the words back before they came out.

At the same time, he shifted his gaze away from Mingmei and looked at Conan with a cautious expression.

I thought it would be this colleague who would reveal my true identity, but, this kid...

"Hey, Kidd, don't be so nervous. We came here to see you simply because my friend wants to confirm some things from you and see your true face.

Oh, and besides that, there is one more thing, that is, I have something I would like to ask you for help with, that’s all.”

As he spoke, Conan raised the corner of his mouth.

"You want to know my true identity? You want to help the police catch me? It's simple, come and see for yourself!"

As he spoke, Kidd took out a walkie-talkie from his arms and prepared to change the channel.

"Wait, Kidd, before you call the police, how about you try the gift I prepared just for you?"

As he spoke, Conan and Mingmei moved aside, revealing the barbecue grill behind them.

"Hehe, do you think I would be that kind of casual..."

Kidd was about to say something, but when he saw the fish on the grill, he froze.

Why are there fish here? How do these people know he is afraid of fish?

Although he managed to maintain a poker face, he could feel that he was about to break down!

Seeing this scene, Conan's mouth corners slightly raised:

"How about it, Kuroba Kaito-kun, do you like the gift I prepared for you?"
