Chapter 100

His business was finished, but Mao Li Kogoro was injured and couldn't leave for a while.

It was the perfect time to enjoy island life with Ran.

Hearing the shouting ahead, he couldn't help but look over.

*Bang.*

A cloud of smoke rose in the distance.

Someone shouted: "The murderer is running away, chase him!"

"He’s on the roof!"

On the roof, Kaitou Kid was wearing a clean, handsome white suit, his cape flapping in the wind, looking incredibly stylish.

He reached out to press his top hat and bowed slightly.

"Everyone, I apologize for this uninvited visit. I am truly sorry for any disturbance."

"I only borrowed Uehara Yasuo’s identity for convenience. I know nothing of his actions, so please, do not waste any more time on me."

"Now that I have explained, please allow me to say goodbye."

After Kaitou Kid finished speaking, he bowed slightly again, and another cloud of smoke appeared on the roof.

When the smoke cleared, Kaitou Kid had already deployed his hang glider and flown away.

Seeing this, Akaso Kaze’s mouth curled up slightly.

What a coincidence?

I made arrangements last night, and Kaitou Kid shows up.

If he doesn't take the blame, who will?

However, this kid really knows how to show off...

Showing off in front of a mage is asking for bad luck.

Akaso Kaze silently cast his Hand of Intent.

*Whoosh.*

Kaitou Kid in the air suddenly felt his body go loose.

The entire hang glider detached.

He let out a miserable scream as he fell.

"Damn it, why did the emergency release device open on its own?"

This was something Akaso Kaze had seen with his Eye of Space when he escaped the tornado last time.

He never expected there to be such a mechanism.

With just a light pull, Kaitou Kid would fall on his own...

This is truly interesting.

*Bang.*

A cloud of dust rose where Kaitou Kid landed.

Hopefully, he didn't fall to his death.

Akaso Kaze smiled slightly.

Conan ran over, panting, and asked hurriedly: "Where is Uehara Yasuo? Where is Uehara Yasuo?"

They had searched all night yesterday and hadn't found him.

Akaso Kaze rubbed his little head.

"That was a fake, disguised by Kaitou Kid."

"Eh? Kaitou Kid? Why did he come here?" Conan was confused.

"Probably for that missing gold... No, he seems to like jewels more. That means he’s here to steal the treasure left behind four hundred years ago."

Akaso Kaze casually threw the blame away.

"Hmph, that Kaitou Kid, he only knows how to cause trouble." Conan frowned.

He looked at the calm Akaso Kaze, and a thought suddenly occurred to him.

"Brother Akaso, did you know where the criminal was all along?"

This kid finally asked.

Akaso Kaze smiled slightly and asked in return: "Is there any place on this island you haven't searched yet?"

Conan frowned in thought.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place."

Akaso Kaze gave a final hint, then took Mao Li Ran and walked away.

Conan’s eyes lit up instantly.

The most dangerous place was none other than the Naval Soldier Cave.

He turned and ran off.

One hour later, at the Naval Soldier Cave.

Kinoshita Goro held a pistol and laughed loudly.

"Little guy, that Onmyoji must have told you I was here."

"It’s a pity he didn't come himself; otherwise, I would have had to surrender obediently."

"Now, Hamada is dead, and Uehara Yasuo is dead. In this world, only I know where that gold is."

"As long as I kill you and throw your body into the sea, no one will ever be able to find that gold."

"And I just need to wait until everyone forgets about this, and I can secretly transport the gold away and live a happy life from then on."

"Where is that gold?" Conan asked, pretending to be curious.

"Gold? Of course, it’s right under my feet!"

Kinoshita Goro’s eyes glowed as he stepped on the steps made of bricks.

In the woods in front of the Naval Soldier Cave, Kuroba Kaito was secretly observing the entrance.

After escaping from those big men, Kuroba Kaito wandered around the island, thinking about where the naval treasure was most likely hidden.

After thinking it over, Kaito felt this place was the most suspicious.

First, this Naval Soldier Cave was where those naval soldiers were killed four hundred years ago.

They chose to attack this cave, so the jewel was likely hidden inside.

Second, the ghosts of the naval soldiers emerged from here; perhaps it was because of that jewel.

But it seemed that Onmyoji had spent half the day inside yesterday.

Could that guy have already found the treasure’s location and dug it up?

Damn it! If the naval treasure was dug up by that guy, it would be incredibly difficult to steal that jewel from him.

Kuroba Kaito felt depressed thinking about this.

Regardless, he had to go into the cave to confirm the situation.

"There are only three people guarding the front of the Naval Cave."

Kaitou Kid observed the distribution of the islanders and smiled.

Half a minute later, Kaitou Kid avoided the guards' eyes and successfully snuck into the cave.

"With this level of defense, it’s too easy to sneak past; there’s no difficulty at all."

Kaitou Kid muttered triumphantly, hands in his pockets, walking through the cave to observe the situation.

"Eh? Something’s wrong."

Inside the cave, Conan frowned as he looked at the steps under Kinoshita Goro’s feet.

"This soil is clearly new. I’m afraid the gold you mentioned has already been taken away."

"What? That’s impossible!"

Kinoshita Goro panicked, squatted down, picked up a brick, and smashed it with his pistol.

*Crack.*

The brick broke into two pieces.

The cross-section was gray and dusty; there wasn't a shadow of gold anywhere.

"How can this be? Where is my gold?"

Kinoshita Goro jumped off the steps and forcefully pried up one brick after another.
