Chapter 82

"Akaso-san, aren't we going to chase him?"

Seeing Conan also run out of the hall, Akaso Kaze wasn't in a hurry to leave, and Sonoko asked curiously.

"With these people, they won't be able to catch Kid."

Akaso Kaze held Sonoko's little hand.

"Don't you want to see Kid? I'll let you see him up close in a moment."

After most of the people in the fourth-floor hall had left, Akaso Kaze pulled Sonoko and walked slowly to a police officer left behind in a corner.

He put his arm on the police officer's shoulder and asked with a smile: "Hey, Kid, are you here to scout the place?"

"Eh?" The police officer turned his head to look at Akaso Kaze with a dry laugh, "Sir, what are you talking about?"

Akaso Kaze's lips curled slightly: "Don't pretend, you can't hide from the eyes of a Yin-Yang Master, Kaito Kid."

Kid looked constipated and went crazy all of a sudden.

"What do you want?! I don't have a grudge against you, right? Why treat me like this?"

"I'm just here to steal a piece of jewelry, I didn't provoke you, a great Yin-Yang Master, why are you chasing me so relentlessly?"

Kid's words, combined with his expression, looked like he would cry if you didn't give him an explanation.

Seeing him so pitiful, Akaso Kaze felt quite embarrassed.

"It's like this, Miss Sonoko admires you, so I brought her to see you up close."

Kid was speechless.

See what? See my miserable state?

"Forget it, Akaso-san. Since he's so pitiful, let him go~｀ ." Sonoko looked disappointed.

What kind of Kaito Kid is this?

Both his appearance and methods are far inferior to Akaso-san's.

He was almost played to tears by Akaso-san.

She secretly hugged Akaso Kaze's arm, looking happy.

Akaso-san is still the best.

Since the client said to let him go, Akaso Kaze naturally had no objections.

Besides, Kaito Kid hadn't done anything heinous.

"You can go." Akaso Kaze waved his hand casually.

Kaito Kid breathed a sigh of relief and left the hall quickly, fearing that Akaso Kaze would change his mind.

However, the more he thought about it, the worse he felt.

I am Kaito Kid.

How did I become an object of pity for others?

And he summoned me and dismissed me at will.

If I can endure this, am I still Kaito Kid?

I'm simply a wimp Kid.

No, next time I must get my revenge.

As for tonight...

Forget it.

Thinking of Akaso Kaze's smile just now, Kaito Kid felt a bit guilty.

Better wait until next time when I'm prepared to compete with him again.

Akaso Kaze and Sonoko continued to browse the exhibition hall, Sonoko hugging Akaso Kaze's arm as if she were hanging on him.

Not long after, the door to the emergency exit of the hall was opened, and Conan ran in, panting.

Conan looked solemn and scanned the surroundings.

Seeing Akaso Kaze wandering around leisurely and then looking at himself, tired like a dog, he suddenly felt the style was a bit off.

His mouth twitched twice: "Brother Akaso, Sister Sonoko, why didn't you go catch Kaito Kid together just now?"

"Just you guys, can you catch Kaito Kid?"

Sonoko's little look had quite a bit of Akaso Kaze's style.

"Kaito Kid never left the hall at all."

"Just now, Akaso-san and I were face-to-face with him."

"What? Where?" Conan stomped his feet.

"｀ 」After I chased him out, I quickly realized something was wrong. Although the emergency exit door shook, it didn't mean Kaito Kid escaped through that door."

"Kaito Kid must have completed his disguise the moment the flashbang went off, turned into someone else, and stayed in the hall blatantly."

Sonoko rolled her eyes at Conan.

"You took so long to think of that."

"Akaso-san thought of it immediately."

"You didn't see Kid's miserable expression."

"If it weren't for the fact that he looked pitiful and hadn't done anything bad, Akaso-san and I wouldn't have let him go."

"What? You let him go?"

Conan looked depressed, with a tiny urge to vomit blood.

I worked myself to death helping you catch the phantom thief.

And you just let him go casually.

Didn't I waste my whole day?

But it's definitely too late to chase him now.

Kaito Kid's terrifying disguise ability and mobility.

Ten seconds after leaving, you'd be bewildered, let alone several minutes later.

"Since he's already left, there's nothing we can do. However, fortunately, I've already cracked his code."

"Next, just set up a net and wait quietly."

A cold light flashed in Conan's eyes.

After midnight, on the rooftop of the Haido City Hotel.

Conan stood at the edge of the building, posing with a cool expression.

At his feet was a firework; as long as it was lit, a large number of police would arrive immediately.

Kogoro Mouri, Ginzo Nakamori, and several police officers were hiding in the safety passage leading to the rooftop.

Below the Haido City Hotel, over two hundred police officers were deployed, waiting quietly for Kaito Kid's arrival.

At the passage entrance, Uncle Mouri raised his hand to check his watch: "It's one minute until 12:30, will Kaito Kid really come?"

"He will definitely come." Ginzo Nakamori was extremely certain and very confident.

"Since he wrote it on his notice letter, of course he won't not come!"

Ginzo Nakamori also nodded in agreement.

Kogoro Mouri hesitated and said: "But, didn't Akaso-san say that Kaito Kid has already gone far away and won't come tonight?"

"Also, Sonoko's family and Ran trust him, so they didn't come tonight at all."

"What does a charlatan know? Kaito Kid will definitely come!"

As the management officer of the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, Ginzo Nakamori firmly believed in Kaito Kid's integrity.

He also looked down on professions like Yin-Yang Masters.

If we could catch criminals by relying on divination, what would we police be for?

One minute passed quickly, and 12:30 arrived.

Ginzo Nakamori looked around seriously: "Everyone be careful, Kaito Kid should have arrived, let's wait quietly for him to appear."

"Okay." Others nodded one after another.

Under the night sky, cold winds blew, and Conan stood in the biting cold wind, looking vigilant and observing the surroundings.

Damn, why does it feel a bit cold?

He silently wrapped his little clothes tighter.

Just hold on a little longer, as long as I catch Kaito Kid, I can hold my head high.

Then, let's see if Akaso Kaze still dares to look down on me.

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes passed, and Conan raised his hand to check his watch: "Strange, Kaito Kid still hasn't come."

"Why hasn't he come yet? Could our code-breaking be wrong?"

At the passage entrance, Uncle Mouri was also a bit suspicious.

"It's impossible to be wrong, it's definitely here, and the time is also correct."

Ginzo Nakamori's voice came from the walkie-talkie, "Let's keep waiting, that guy will definitely come!"

He was already frozen and couldn't take it anymore, so he said he was going downstairs to control the overall situation and hid in a warm car.

Only Kogoro Mouri and Ginzo Nakamori were still struggling in the cold wind.

"He must have discovered us and is thinking of ways to deal with us, right?"

Ginzo Nakamori said with a frown.

"But it doesn't matter, since Kaito Kid's notice letter has been sent, he will definitely appear, even if there are many people, it's no exception!"

Seeing him so persistent, Kogoro Mouri could only nod, "Let's wait a bit longer."

At this time, Conan at the edge of the rooftop was almost frozen stiff.

He curled up and hid under the parapet.

Fortunately, he was small and could barely block the wind.

Damn it, Kaito Kid, are you a woman?

Why are you so dawdling about keeping an appointment?

No sense of time at all.

Look at the watch, there are still three hours left.

Damn it~

Conan was really too cold, he lit the lighter he had prepared to set off the fireworks.

In the firelight, he seemed to see his warm home and the pure and kind Ran.

She was... happily snuggled in Akaso Kaze's arms.

So heartbreaking~

Conan silently turned off the lighter and continued to tremble in the cold wind.

Soon, an hour passed...

Two hours passed...

Three hours passed...

It was past four o'clock, and Ginzo Nakamori raised his hand to check his watch.

Then, with an "achoo," he walked out of the corner and roared: "Damn it! The agreed time has passed, Kaito Kid didn't come at all!"

Downstairs, hearing his roar, more than two hundred police officers who were frozen stiff looked at each other in silence.

Kogoro Mouri reached out and rubbed his nose, saying: "I really should have listened to my son-in-law, he was right, Kaito Kid really didn't come."

At the edge of the building, Conan had a look of wanting to cry.

Someone come and save me.

I'm frozen stiff and can't move.

Half an hour ago, I had already thought of it.

Today is April Fool's Day.

Kaito Kid could completely use this as an excuse not to come.
