Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Chapter 216 Scapegoat Kaito

"By the way, in addition to this game targeting Kidd, I would also like to welcome a special guest!"

As she spoke, Suzuki Tomoko gave up her seat. Kaito, dressed as Kudo Shinichi, was standing behind her with a smile.

“Thanks to our classmate Kudo Shinichi, who came to escort us on our journey after hearing that stupid thief wanted to steal our family heirloom.

Although I don't think that little thief can find and steal the real Black Star in just three hours, but with Kudo-san's participation, I believe this journey will be much smoother!"

When the people in the audience saw Kudo Shinichi, they started talking about it.

"Is that the high school detective Kudo Shinichi? I heard there's no case he can't solve!"

"I heard he's been missing for a long time. I didn't expect the Suzuki Group to actually find him. They're really worthy of being the Suzuki Group!"

"Yeah, a detective and a fake! That little thief must be trembling with fear right now!"

......

Listening to the discussions of the people below the stage, Kaito, who was standing on the stage, could hardly hold back his expression.

No, are these people mentally ill? They are looking for fakes. Not to mention that you can tell which pearls are real and which are fake at a glance. Even if these pearls are really imitated to be the same as the real ones, would the helmsman of Suzuki Group dare to hand over such an important heirloom to others?

If you think about it this way, isn't it obvious who has the real thing?!

As for the detective, haha, sorry, this detective here is also a fake. A fake detective with fake pearls, a perfect match, isn't it?

In the audience, looking at Kudo Shinichi who appeared there, Sonoko left her sister and came to Xiaolan.

"Ran, look, the great detective is back! Mom and the others did a great job keeping it a secret. I didn't even know Shinichi was involved in Pearl's defense!

With Shinichi here, the pearl will definitely not be stolen, don’t you think~”

"Huh? Uh, um."

After hearing what Sonoko said, Xiaolan looked a little embarrassed.

Having learned all the information from Conan, she already knew that the Kudo Shinichi on the stage was actually Kaito Kid in disguise. However, she couldn't tell Sonoko this news, and could only watch helplessly as he stole the pearl. This feeling was too painful.

However, because Conan said that this was a deal between him and Kidd, and Kidd just wanted to get the pearl to confirm some things, and the pearl would not be really stolen by Kidd, she was slightly relieved.

However, the look she gave Sonoko was still filled with a hint of apology.

"I'm sorry, Sonoko, but the final result was good, so there shouldn't be any problems."

The carefree Sonoko didn't notice Xiaolan's emotional problems, but looked at Kudo on the stage with dissatisfaction:

"Shinichi, what a fool! He finally came back, but he didn't see our Ran right away. Instead, he came to discuss the Phantom Thief problem with Mom? Should I say he's worthy of being a detective? But, tell me, if I ask Shinichi, can he catch Kid?"

"Well, that should be possible..."

Xiaolan's expression was a little awkward. What? You still expect Kidd to help you catch him? This is unlikely no matter how you think about it.

"Xiao Lan, what's wrong with you? Why do you look a little unhappy? Are you feeling unwell?"

At this moment, Sonoko finally noticed that her best friend seemed to be in a bad mood, so she quickly asked with concern. While asking, she reached out and touched Xiaolan's forehead tentatively.

"No, it's okay. I'm just, um, a little upset with Shinichi, that's all! Yeah, that's it!"

In order to avoid being discovered by Sonoko, Xiaolan began to imagine all of Conan's bad behavior in her mind, trying to arouse the resentment in her heart. Sure enough, this trick was very effective. Soon, her guilt towards Sonoko turned into resentment towards Kudo.

"Well, Xiaolan, come on! I support you! When he comes down from the stage, remember to give this great detective a good beating!"

As she spoke, Sonoko waved her little fist in support of Xiaolan.

"Ok!"

Although she knew that this Shinichi was not Shinichi, there was nothing she could do. Who made her feel so full of resentment at this moment?

"Kaito Kidd, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for disguising yourself as Shinichi and appearing here."

Thinking of this, Xiaolan looked at Kaito with a hint of expectation.

"?"

At this moment, Kaito, who was watching Suzuki Tomoko speaking on the stage, suddenly shuddered, as if someone was plotting against him?

......

"Xiaolan, long time no see."

After coming down from the stage, Kaito approached Xiaolan according to his own investigation results. As he approached, he muttered in his heart:

'No wonder that guy specifically stressed out not disguising himself as this young lady. So that's what their relationship is like! I wonder if this young lady knows that the boyfriend she's been thinking about has actually been living right next to her.

However, consider this as a return gift for the gifts on the rooftop. I'll help you improve this young lady's favorability.

Thinking of this, and also in order to fit the identity of Kudo Shinichi as much as possible, Kaito greeted Xiaolan with a smile.

"Damn Shinichi! Where the hell have you been!!!"

At this time, Xiaolan, whose resentment towards Shinichi was aroused by Sonoko, looked at the smiling face in front of her, gritted her teeth, and punched Kaito directly.

"!!!"

Feeling the terrifying feeling coming from the fist, Kaito suddenly shrank his head and barely avoided Xiaolan's attack.

However, looking at the fist next to his ear, Kaito swallowed awkwardly:

"Well, that, Xiaolan, I..."

Before Kaito could defend himself, Xiaolan's fist came again:

"There's no point in saying more! Damn Shinichi! You bastard!"

As he spoke, he threw punch after punch towards Kaito, scaring Kaito so much that he kept dodging.

"No, what's going on with this woman? Could it be that my cousin didn't tell her that I was just an imposter? Or did he deliberately not tell her that he would appear under his identity?"

Looking at the fists that were getting heavier and faster, Kaito felt that he might really be defeated this time.

"Sister Xiaolan, it's OK!"

Conan, who was standing by, also noticed this and hurried forward to comfort him.

He originally saw that Kidd wanted to use his identity to get close to Xiaolan, so he did not stop Xiaolan's attack. However, judging from Xiaolan's current attack power, Kaito would probably be knocked down after one round!

It doesn't really matter whether he's on the run or not. What's important is that if he's on the run and arrested, where can he contact Koizumi Hongzi? Where can he learn voice changing techniques?
