Chapter 176: Kaitou Kid has disappeared!

"By the way, a card was left where Kaitou Kid fell; it must be the notice he intended to send."

The security captain presented a card with both hands.

Akaso Kaze took it and looked it over.

Huh? Why is there a bloodstain on it?

Was my slap a bit too heavy?

Ayako Suzuki leaned over and read:

"From the lion of dusk to the maiden of dawn,

The clock without a second hand moves to the twelfth character,

Descending from the bright sky pavilion,

Receiving the Memory Egg,

The magician of the end of the century, Kaitou Kid is here..."

On the streets of Beika Town, Beika City, a series of police cars with sirens blaring sped down the road.

Ginzo Nakamori sat in the passenger seat of a police car, holding an intercom to communicate with his subordinates, and shouted orders:

"All personnel, pay attention! Keep your eyes on Kid's car; we absolutely cannot let him escape this time!"

"Air unit! Air unit! Have you arrived at the scene yet?! Answer immediately!"

"Officer Nakamori, we currently only have one helicopter that has reached the scene." A voice came through the intercom.

"Damn it! Only one helicopter for now? Never mind! Your task is to keep your eyes on Kaitou Kid; you absolutely cannot let him out of your sight!"

"Understood, Officer Nakamori!" The helicopter pilot replied, then immediately added:

"Officer Nakamori, the Nippon TV helicopter is following behind us. They seem to be broadcasting live and are also following Kid's car."

"Uh, Nippon TV is broadcasting live? Perfect, I will contact the people on that helicopter immediately and have them cooperate with the police to track Kid!"

In the speeding car below, Kaito Kuroba finally woke up.

He touched his swollen face, feeling like crying.

You, Akaso Kaze, are too ruthless.

This slap loosened my teeth.

Look at how swollen I am; how can I show my handsome and dashing face to anyone now?

Looking back at the pursuing police cars and the helicopter in the sky.

Kaito Kuroba said: "Mr. Jii, this won't do. I'll fly out to distract them, and you take the chance to escape."

"Young Master, please be careful."

This wasn't the first time they had coordinated, so Konosuke Jii wasn't worried.

It seemed that apart from the hands of that Onmyoji, they had never suffered a loss.

The car happened to be driving onto an overpass.

Whoosh.

A white shadow flew out.

"Kaitou Kid has flown into the sky!"

The helicopter pilot's voice came through Ginzo Nakamori's intercom.

"Quick, catch up to him! We absolutely cannot let him escape!"

Kaito Kuroba flew while observing the buildings around him.

His gaze fell on a high-end apartment building, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Trying to catch me? That's a dream!

"Ouch!"

The pain in his face reminded him that there was nothing to be proud of; he had just been slapped hard in the face.

Kaito Kuroba grinned, pulled a flashbang and an instant smoke bomb from his pocket, and detonated them beside him.

By the time the smoke cleared, Kaito had vanished.

"Oh no! Officer Nakamori, Kaitou Kid has suddenly disappeared!"

In the speeding police car, Ginzo Nakamori sat in the passenger seat.

Hearing the helicopter pilot's voice through the intercom, he was furious and roared loudly:

"What?! Are you kidding me?! Didn't I tell you to keep your eyes on him? How could he suddenly disappear?!"

The helicopter pilot stammered: "I, I don't know. Just a moment ago, Kaitou Kid suddenly threw smoke bombs and flashbangs in the air. When the smoke cleared, Kaitou Kid was gone. Officer Nakamori, could he have used some kind of magic?"

"What magic? It's all that guy's tricks!"

Officer Nakamori replied immediately, then tried to calm himself down and continued to order:

"Don't panic now. Observe your surroundings carefully. Given Kaitou Kid's flight speed, he couldn't have escaped our sight from the air in such a short time, so he must be hiding somewhere nearby."

"All units, pay attention! Search the surroundings carefully; we must find this detestable thief!"

"Yes, Officer Nakamori!"

The police from the Metropolitan Police Department's Second Investigation Division replied in unison and began searching the area carefully.

Meanwhile, Kaito Kuroba stood on the balcony of an apartment in that building, looked down at the police cars wandering below, and smiled slightly:

"Sure enough, these police officers won't give up their investigation so quickly. With the methods of Aoko's dad, it won't be long before they find me."

"But it doesn't matter. As long as I change my clothes and blend into the crowd on the street, they will never be able to find me again."

Kaito Kuroba thought to himself while peeking into the room through the window.

He saw the lights were on, but no one was there.

There was a small bed and some children's items.

Clearly, the person living here was a child, but they weren't in the room at the moment.

He pulled his daily clothes out of his bag and began to take off his Kaitou Kid costume.

Inside the apartment living room, Ayumi was wearing pink pajamas, her big eyes fixed on the television, completely focused.

Just as she was enjoying it, Mrs. Yoshida walked over and said softly: "Ayumi-chan, it's getting late. Hurry back to your room and go to sleep."

"Huh?" Ayumi turned to look at her mother and acted spoiled: "Mom, it's so exciting right now! Can I finish watching before I go to sleep?"

"No!" Ayumi's mother pretended to be angry: "You have school tomorrow. If you go to sleep too late, you won't be able to get up tomorrow."

"Ugh, okay."

Ayumi pouted and reluctantly shuffled toward her room.

She reached out to push the door open, walked into the room, and was just about to get into bed when she suddenly heard some rustling sounds on the balcony.

Ayumi was slightly stunned, slowly walked to the balcony, opened the door, and immediately saw a strange person standing on her balcony.

A pile of white clothes was thrown on the ground beside this person, and they were wearing nothing but underwear.

Ayumi was so scared she took a step back and then fell to the ground with a "thud."

On the balcony, Kaito, who was concentrating on taking off his clothes, was slightly stunned when he heard the sound and hurriedly stopped his movements.

Turning his head to look at the little girl sitting on the ground in fear behind him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch twice.

Oh my god!

When did this little girl come out?

He was so focused on the police downstairs that he didn't even notice.

Kaito Kuroba felt depressed, but Kaitou Kid's style could not be lost.

He hurriedly struck a pose he considered the most handsome and dashing, bent his waist, and lowered his head.

"Hello, little sister. Guess who I am?" he said with a smile.

Kaito Kuroba wanted to express friendliness, but unfortunately, he forgot his current situation.

Half of his face was red and swollen, his mouth was wide open, and his face was asymmetrical.

That smile was both sinister and lewd, as strange as could be, and even more eerie under the moonlight.

Plus, he was only wearing a pair of shorts; no one who saw this image would think he was a good person.

"Ahhh! Pervert! Lecher! Help!"

Ayumi screamed, her chubby little hands swinging back and forth, slapping Kaito's face, her childish voice full of fear:

"Don't come over here, Brother Akaso will hit you."

"Huh? Brother Akaso! Akaso Kaze? Where is he?"

Kaito Kuroba was most afraid of hearing the name Akaso now.

He was so scared his whole body stiffened.

Then came a series of "slap-slap" sounds, and a series of small handprints were imprinted on his face, making his already swollen face even more swollen.

Before Kaito Kuroba could understand what was happening, a graceful woman opened the door.

"Ah!" Mrs. Yoshida screamed and immediately dialed the phone in her hand.

"Mr. Akaso, come quickly, there's a perverted lecher on my balcony."

Kaito Kuroba was completely bewildered.

Oh my god!

What is this situation?
