People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney
Chapter 475: One Day of Opening
Chapter 475: Unboxing Day
Kuroba Chikage, formerly the famous Phantom Thief “Phantom Thief Lady”, was rescued by the first generation Phantom Thief Kid, Kuroba Toichi, and became Kuroba Toichi’s wife and the mother of Phantom Thief Kid.
Xiang Yuanguang had to admit that although this was his first meeting with Hei Yu Qianying, he always had a feeling that he had seen her somewhere before – but that didn’t matter.
He patted the head of the Death God Elementary School Student who was still a little unsteady on his feet, let the Death God Elementary School Student play by himself, and then repeated his previous words.
“Mrs. Kuroba, what do you want to ask me? If I know, I will answer you.”
Kuroba Chikage’s gaze lingered for a moment on Conan, who was walking unsteadily with a blush on his cheeks. Although Conan had deliberately tried to get rid of the alcohol on his body before coming, for the former Phantom Thief——
There is no point in covering it up like this, but it should be enough to fool people who are not very sensitive to it. However, she doesn’t seem to have heard of the famous detective Kudo Shinichi’s alcoholism…?
“Mr. Gen, Kaito said that there is a drug in the world that can make those who take it rejuvenate, and the famous detective Kudo Shinichi is one of the people who took this drug and became smaller.”
“So, this drunk kid is the so-called Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, the famous detective Kudo Shinichi?”
Although Kuroba Chikage’s voice was not loud, it was extremely lethal to Conan. His gaze suddenly turned and fell on Xiang Yuanguang – if he really was an alcoholic, he would not have drunk a bottle of white liquor and passed out until now!
The Shinigami student approached Kuroba Kaito and said unhappily.
“Xiang Yuan, please explain to me why I drink too much.”
The blue hedgehog raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and finally said sincerely.
“Oh, if you want to say it is, then it is. As for why he became an alcoholic? It’s because I found a kind of wine that can offset the effect of that drug. Then he drank a whole bottle overnight and that’s it.”
It’s outrageous enough that there is a drug in the world that can make people shrink from big to small, but they also say that there is a kind of wine that can offset the effect of this drug and make people grow from small to big——————
Hei Yu Qianying was silent for a moment, then she asked again.
“…Did it change back?”
“Well, apparently, not yet.”
Xiang Yuanguang scratched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly.
Then, in Heiyu Qianying’s eyes, the truth of the matter is actually very obvious.
All those drugs and alcohol were just excuses. There were no such things in the world. Xiang Yuanguang was just fooling her eldest son, and her eldest son used that to fool her.
If there was something that Kuroba Kaito was hiding from her, it was probably about the Black Organization. After accidentally discovering Vermouth at the airport, she had been paying attention to the situation.
Therefore, Kuroba Chikage actually knew about the shooting situation near the courtroom. Before the shooting started, someone reminded Xiang Yuanguang to take cover, and the person who reminded him was, as expected, Kuroba Kaito.
(Kaito and Mugen-Kuang have such a good relationship, and it was a special operation of the Public Security Bureau. Does this mean that Kaito has reached a cooperative relationship with the Public Security Bureau?)
The former phantom thief lady’s thoughts raced, unaware that Xiang Yuanguang had not actually lied to her——————”…Are you really Kudo Shinichi?”
After entering the room, Kuroba Kaito secretly glanced at the situation outside, and then whispered to the Shinigami elementary school student next to him, but the Shinigami elementary school student just looked up and looked at Kuroba Kaito with an inexplicable look.
The famous Kaito Kid tried hard to maintain his poker face, but he still couldn’t hold it together in Conan’s sight, because he suddenly recalled the last scene on the Queen Serissabeth.
The guy who looked like an elementary school student kicked a football and directly knocked his hang glider off the line. He had no choice but to abandon the hang glider and land on the Queen Theresabeth nearby.
Otherwise, he would probably see the news on the next day about Kaito Kid killing someone and fleeing the scene.
“As you can see, I am Kudo Shinichi.”
Conan gave the final answer directly. Now that the Black Organization has been hit and has fallen silent, and Kaito Kid is considered trustworthy, hiding the identity does not seem so important.
“Although I don’t remember it clearly now, I remember that I met a thief who claimed that he wanted to steal the clock from the clock tower. Xiang Yuan told me that the person who did this was you, the Kaito Kidd.”
“So we actually fought each other a long time ago, but you and I didn’t know each other’s name and identity——————”
Kuroba Kaito’s memory suddenly flashed back to the operation in the tower. At that time, the police’s investigation intensity had inexplicably risen to a higher level, and the commander was not the original Inspector Nakamori, but another person.
Later, when he arrived at the tower, a man on a plane used a pistol to shoot off the white cloth covering the clock, almost destroying his reputation as the second generation of Kaito Kid.
However, Kuroba Kaito later failed to find out who it was from Inspector Nakamori, and the commander at the time had no intention of introducing himself. Therefore, it was not until now, when Conan’s story was brought up again, that Kuroba Kaito finally remembered the matter!
“Hey, there really is a drug in this world that can make people rejuvenate? It sounds like a prop from a comic book or a sci-fi movie.”
Kaito Kidd II finally believed what Yuan Guang said, and roughly confirmed that Conan’s true identity was indeed the famous detective who confronted him in the clock tower.
“So, there’s no need for you to pretend to be asleep anymore. Both I and Kaito Kidd can actually tell whether you are awake or not, but we just don’t intend to expose you directly.”
“Now that you know that I am the Kudo Shinichi who became smaller by taking APTX4869, you should have something to say to me, right? If you don’t have anything to say, then I have something to say to you.”
Conan pushed up his glasses, and a flash of white light appeared.
“Ms. Shiho Miyano, codenamed Shirley, a scientist of the Black Organization and one of the researchers of the drug APTX4869, may I ask what you think of the drug APTX4869?”
“This kind of [poison] has a mortality rate of almost 100%, and after causing death, the autopsy personnel cannot find the specific cause of death. It must have taken a lot of effort and money to research it, right?”
