Chapter 103 Phantom Thief Kid Doesn't Know Martial Morality
Akutagawa Hiko spoke eloquently from below the stage, and although he was a guest, he seemed more like the center of attention at the banquet than the person on the stage.
"The value of the Dark Star is undeniable, and it holds special significance for the Suzuki family. On such a day, such a treasure cannot be casually handed over to someone else."
"Furthermore, I noticed that Mrs. Suzuki wore gloves when she took your Dark Star, right? The real Dark Star has a special peacock green color. Although some, like mine, have tried their best to imitate it, knowledgeable people can still tell the difference at a glance."
Without much hesitation, Akutagawa picked up the imitation black pearl with his bare hands. Although it wasn't as dazzling as some imitations and looked brand new, it still lacked the sense of time and experience.
"If we're talking about expertise, I think Kaito Kid's past record is enough to prove it—"
Tomoko Suzuki's face tightened, then she slowly exhaled and clapped her hands with a smile: "As expected of a famous detective, I'll be counting on you to protect our Dark Star from now on."
Although Tomoko Suzuki did not admit it, her demeanor was enough to prove who the real Dark Star resided in.
However, the other guests did not throw away the fake badges on their chests. After all, these badges had some value and could be considered proof of their attendance at the banquet.
In the future, if I ever need to ask for help, I can use this as a good starting point for conversation.
Hiko Akutagawa believed that, given Kaito Kid's or rather Kaito Kuroba's personality, he would put on a magnificent and grand magic show to steal the Dark Star.
So he readily accepted the invitation from Shoji Kurumi, whom he had met once before, to go and taste the sweets he had made himself.
Although he coordinated all the meals for the banquet, he didn't actually cook many of them himself.
But to everyone's surprise, Phantom Thief Kid was so unethical that while he was eating in the cabin, he threw out a bunch of Black Pearl-style smoke bombs and flashbangs, snatched the Dark Star, and ran away.
When Akutagawa Hiko and Conan caught up to the stern of the ship, they could only vaguely see a white triangular paraglider.
Akutagawa Hiko, who hadn't prepared fresh fish this time, fell silent for a moment. Could it be that their last meeting had left him with a psychological trauma, leading him to resort to such a simple and crude method this time?
This can no longer be called a phantom thief; it should be called a robber.
"Damn it, he got away!"
Conan angrily slammed his fist on the railing; this distance was already beyond the reach of his current power-enhancing shoes.
Akutagawa looked at the helicopters circling in the sky and said, "What do you mean by a net that can't be put up or a prison at sea? They still haven't caught a single hair on the ground."
but.
"Since we're not using magic to steal anymore, but instead resorting to outright robbery, then—"
Akutagawa Hiko unfurled a pair of crystalline wings from his back, grabbed a bewildered Conan, and chased after the fleeing Phantom Thief Kid.
Wow!
Conan looked at the wings in amazement. Although they looked very large, it was impossible for such a structure to support two people plus its own body made of ice.
Fortunately, Conan had already relaxed his scientific standards regarding Akutagawa Hiko, so he wouldn't find anything strange about it.
During the time that Phantom Thief Kid "stole" the Dark Star, dark clouds happened to cover the moon, so after shaking off the police...
He jumped directly from the height, preparing to meet up with his assistant.
Terai Kinosuke, the chosen tool who served two generations of Kaito Kid, knows a little magic because he was once the assistant of the world-class magician Kuroba Toichi.
He has always played a pivotal role in the crimes committed by Phantom Thief Kid.
Seeing that Kaito Kuroba had returned safely once again, Terai Kinosuke's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, slowly began to relax, but he suddenly froze again halfway through.
Kaito Kid is regretting that his performance didn't go smoothly. Although he obtained the Dark Star, the world's largest black pearl, in the end, none of his magic props were of any use.
Suddenly, they heard Terahina Kinosuke shout in terror: "Young master, watch out!!"
It was very quiet around us, with only the whistling wind as we glided.
Based on his understanding of the police, unless a helicopter is deployed, there is no threat to him when he is flying in the air. He, the phantom thief, should not provoke the police to use lethal weapons.
However, trusting Grandpa Terai, Kaito Kid didn't believe that he would scare him for no reason.
Before I could even check my surroundings, I suddenly felt the paraglider become heavy, and a shadow loomed over me.
Kaito Kid's heart sank. He was about to reach for his tranquilizer gun when a pair of children's hands grabbed his.
Although he didn't know what Kidd was going to do, he should stop him. He still remembered that card-firing gun very well. It was more convenient to use at sea. He couldn't let Kidd get the first move.
"Kidd, hand over Dark Star!"
Kaito Kid was completely baffled as to how this famous detective's sidekick had suddenly appeared, and the shadow on his back didn't look like a hang glider!
Immediately afterwards, Kaito Kid felt a foot step on his back. A famous detective with a pair of large wings blocked his way, making Kaito Kid's eyes light up.
Compared to his own glider, which was plain in color and ordinary in shape and had no special features, he couldn't help but show expressions of "wanting", "envy" and "how did you do that?"
But now is clearly not the time to think about these things. He really doesn't want to get fish smeared in his face again. Whether it's the detective on the other side or the sea below, he might encounter those terrifying fish again.
Just as he was about to pull out a fake to fool them, Akutagawa Hiko pulled out the Dark Star directly from a hidden pocket.
Kaito Kid's eyes widened.
No, how did this detective know he hid the pearl here? Could it be that my hiding skills have deteriorated?
I looked up and was horrified to meet a pair of pure white eyes.
Kaito Kuroba swore on his dead father that those were definitely not colored contact lenses or anything, they were absolutely his own eyes, but they weren't like that just now!
What surprised him even more was that the famous detective actually pointed the dark star at the newly revealed moon and began to examine it skillfully.
In other words, he really knew the legend of Pandora, and didn't just know the name and try to trick him when they met that day!
Akutagawa Hiko put down the unresponsive Dark Star and reached into his pocket: "Looks like this isn't the gem you're looking for. So, are you interested in talking to us?"
Kaito Kuroba, being young and fearless, may have realized that Hikaru Akutagawa and Conan weren't there to arrest him.
He readily agreed.
