Chapter 79 Lucky Two Choices
“What happened?”

Everyone who heard the noise ran out of the house and came to the woodshed one after another.

But when they saw Tanaka Kikue holding a hatchet and holding Haibara Ai hostage, everyone was stunned.

“Ai?!” Xiaolan and Sonoko screamed at the same time.

It turned out that Haibara Ai, who also noticed that something was wrong with Tanaka Kikue, quietly followed her to the back of the woodshed and witnessed the whole process of her climbing into Hamano Toshiya’s room.

But what she never expected was that Kikue Tanaka would fall from the balcony shortly afterwards and hit her head on.

However, somehow, looking at the gleaming blade on her neck, Haibara Ai did not feel afraid.

Maybe I’m used to it?

Or maybe… there was someone she could trust at the scene.

“Don’t come over here. If you don’t want this little girl to get hurt, let me go!” Tanaka Kikue, who was already at her wit’s end, shouted in a hoarse voice.

Xia He and Kaito, who jumped down from the balcony, looked at each other.

It would be extremely easy for the two of them to subdue Tanaka Kikue.

But the key point is, if he does this, won’t he be unable to achieve Kuroba Kaito’s original plan – to get Tanaka Kikue to surrender voluntarily?

However, seeing that Kikue Tanaka was getting more and more agitated, Xia He could not care less in order to prevent Haibara Ai from getting hurt.

But just as he was about to throw out the poker cards again, Kaito, who was standing next to him, changed his silly look and said seriously, “Ms. Tanaka, I still hope you can stop now and avoid making the same mistake again.”

As he spoke, he held up his cell phone in one hand and made a surrender gesture with the other, then approached cautiously and placed the private chat records between him and Harui Fuden in front of Tanaka Kikue.

Red Herring: [Senior, congratulations on your comeback (^_^)]
Fraud Boy: [Haha, actually, besides wanting to rediscover my former self, there is another very important reason for my comeback this time]
Red Herring: [What’s the reason?]
Fraud Boy: [My granddaughter’s birthday is coming soon, isn’t it? I want to give her this performance as a birthday present, to let her know that when I was young, I was also a top magician who was no worse than Kinoshita Yoshiro.]
Red Herring: [I believe she will be very happy]
Fraudster: [I hope so… But I still hope she can be happy and healthy every day. Of course, if I can witness her getting married and having children in my lifetime, then I will die without regrets.]
Fraud Boy: [Oh, by the way, my real identity must be kept secret from the members in the chat room]
Fraud Boy: [I am really looking forward to it. What kind of expressions will they have after the magic is successful?]
I have long known that the fraud boy is Kuroba Kaito from the Harui tradition, and I have been communicating with him all along.

We occasionally exchange our experiences on magic, and occasionally talk about the problems we encounter in daily life.

It is not an exaggeration to say that they are close friends regardless of age.

This is also the reason why he felt very regretful just now, because he did not have time to stop Tanaka Kikue from becoming a murderer.

……

Bang!

The sound of a hatchet falling to the ground.

Kikue Tanaka fell to her knees.

She looked at the words on the chat history and burst into tears.

“The old man hopes that you can live a peaceful and happy life. I believe that his spirit in heaven would never want to see you do such a thing for him.”

Kuroba Kaito stepped forward, kicked the hatchet away, patted Tanaka Kikue’s shoulder, and spoke in a gentle tone.

At the same time, Hamano Toshiya seemed to have understood the whole story. He knelt down with a face full of shame and said to Tanaka Kikue: “I… I was just in a bad mood at the time, so I said such nonsense.”

He had no idea that the Fraud Boy was the thing that was rumored in Chunjing.

Otherwise, he would never say even a bad word about the other person in the chat room.

“I’m sorry.” He buried his head deeply in the snow.

Kikue Tanaka glanced at Toshiya Hamano and didn’t respond.

She just wiped the tears from her face silently and recalled every detail of her life with her grandfather.

Until half an hour later.

“Thank you.”

She opened her mouth and thanked Kuroba Kaito.

…Bring Tanaka Kikue back to the room and have everyone take turns to supervise her outside the door.

When Xia He finished explaining the incident to everyone present, it was almost midnight.

“But, Mr. Doita…how did you know that the fraud boy was the one from Harui Fuden?” Haibara Ai suddenly asked.

“Forehead.”

Xia He blinked when he heard that. He was thinking about how to lie for his brother, but he saw Kuroba Kaito suddenly step forward, stuffed something into Xia He’s pocket without making a sound, and then threw out a smoke bomb, quickly completing his disguise.

Then, Kuroba Kaito, dressed as Kaito Kid, bowed elegantly to everyone and said, “Today’s gathering is very pleasant, especially meeting everyone in the chat room. I hope I can have such an opportunity to meet you all next time.”

After saying that, he turned around and jumped off the balcony, then spread his hang glider and flew into the sky.

Seeing this, Xia He couldn’t help but shook his head.

This guy, will he die if he doesn’t pretend to be cool?

he thought.

Sonoko, on the other hand, stared at Kuroba Kaito’s back with sparkling eyes, and couldn’t help but sigh: “It’s really Kaito Kid, even more handsome than what I saw on TV…”

Xia He glanced at her when he heard that.

As if sensing Xia He’s gaze, Suzuki Sonoko immediately withdrew her gaze and turned to look elsewhere.

Xia He: ╮(╯▽╰)╭

……

Three o’clock in the morning.

“Run, Lan!!!”

Conan woke up from a nightmare.

However, what caught my eye was Xia He’s very impatient face.

“Hey, when you wake up, put on your clothes and get ready to go home.”

“What’s going on?” Conan looked at Xia He with confusion on his face.

After about ten seconds, he finally reacted and said anxiously: “‘Escape King’ has been killed at home. It’s very dangerous here now. We must leave immediately!”

“The matter has been resolved, and the murderer has just been taken away by the police.” said Xiaolan, who was changing towels nearby.

Conan: “???”

solved?
How to solve it?
Did Xia He solve the case again?
He was confused in his mind.

But Xiaolan continued, “Also, what did you call me just now?”

Conan: “.”

……

[You completed the mission: Judgment of keyboard warriors]

[Talent obtained: Lucky 2-choice]

[Lucky Two-Choice: Without knowing the result, once you encounter a two-choice link, you can always choose the right one by intuition]

Then wouldn’t I be invincible when doing judgment questions now?
It seems to be useful for cutting red and blue wires when defusing bombs…

Xia He muttered to himself, and at the same time took out the thing that Kuroba Kaito stuffed into his pocket before he left –

A preview letter with a cartoon portrait of Kidd.
