"I did not entrust Mr. Yizhu with anything."

"Our meeting today was purely coincidental."

Aoko shook her head repeatedly.

He didn't want more people to know the true identity of Phantom Thief Kid.

Seeing that Qingzi looked somewhat troubled,

Xiaolan leaned close to Qingzi's ear and whispered a few words.

"Xiaolan, how...how did you know...?"

Aoko looked surprised.

Surprisingly, even Ran guessed that Kaito Kid's true identity was Kaito Kuroba.

"Aoko, you clearly have feelings for Kaito."

"Those harsh words don't sound like something you would say."

Xiaolan analyzed her own perspective.

Although we only met twice and spent a short time together,

But Xiaolan could sense that Qingzi, who looked similar to her, had many similarities in personality and experience.

For example, they all have a childhood sweetheart who looks similar, and the kind that makes them feel exhausted.

"Having feelings for Kaito..."

Aoko sighed, "There's none left now."

After all, Kaito Kuroba tricked the father and daughter.

Especially Nakamori Ginzo, every time he tries to catch Kaito Kid, he gets tricked and humiliated, and each time the humiliation happens in a different way.

This made Nakamori Ginzo a laughing stock in the Metropolitan Police Department and a topic of conversation among the residents of Tokyo.

This is also why Aoko disliked Kaito Kid from the very beginning.

Now we know that Kaito Kuroba is actually Kaito Kid.

Aoko had absolutely no good feelings towards him.

It was only out of consideration for their childhood friendship of over ten years, and the fact that Kaito would always return what he stole, that she couldn't bear to see him imprisoned for life.

Kuroba Toichi also died in a magic accident eight years ago, so there's no point in pursuing it further.

"Qingzi..."

Xiao Lan gently hugged Qingzi, silently comforting her.

To be honest, Xiaolan could understand Qingzi's feelings to some extent.

Just like how Kaito Kuroba toyed with Ginzo Nakamori,

In the past, Kogoro Mouri had been tricked by Shinichi Kudo quite a few times.

Especially when you happen to meet someone at a crime scene.

Shinichi Kudo never holds back, mocking Kogoro Mouri's clumsy reasoning and embarrassing him every time.

Ran had tried many times to persuade Shinichi Kudo to soften his attitude, but he never listened.

Ran now fully understands that Shinichi Kudo is a completely self-centered person.

All her previous earnest advice was just wishful thinking; she would no longer have any expectations of Shinichi Kudo.

"Xiaolan, thank you."

"I feel like we have so much to talk about..."

In the silent embrace, Aoko felt Xiaolan's care and a strange emotional resonance.

Seeing that Xiaolan and Qingzi were now as close as twin sisters,

A smile appeared on Izuki Shizuta's lips:

"How about this."

"I'll keep a closer eye on Kidd from now on."

"It didn't go very smoothly when he tried to get him to steal."

"Perhaps this will reduce the number of times he steals."

Both Qingzi and Xiaolan were taken aback by these words.

Kaito Kid always acts with great fanfare and arrogance because no one can catch him.

If Phantom Thief Kid doesn't succeed in stealing something, or encounters setbacks,

Over time, this will definitely affect Kaito Kid's confidence.

This caused Kaito Kid to reduce the number of times he stole, or even stop stealing altogether.

At the very least, it would make Phantom Thief Kid less arrogant, so as not to teach children to steal.

At least that's what Aoko and Ran think.

"But if that's the case..."

"Doesn't Mr. Yizhu have to be present every time?"

"What if Kidd is using fake news to deliberately waste time?"

Xiaolan felt this was not worthwhile.

"I have my own methods."

Izuki Karuta looked at Aoko and said, "Ultimately, it depends on whether Aoko needs this extra service."

"I should warn you that this service is not cheap."

"Kidd will likely face various difficulties... but of course, there is no danger to his life."

If Aoko is willing,

Izuki Karuta wouldn't mind letting Kuroba Kaito continue to have bad luck for a while.

This can also serve as a warning to Aoko, so that she won't become soft-hearted when she sees Kid in a pitiful situation.

"Okay, I want to purchase this extra service!"

Qingzi is now burdened with debt.

Anyway, who knows when we'll ever pay back that 2000 million yen we owe.

Adding more wouldn't have much of an impact.

Give Kaito Kid a chance to correct his mistakes.

This is a good thing for both Kaito Kuroba and Ginzo Nakamori.

"Then it's settled."

Izuki Karuta completed another transaction.

Now, Aoko and Ran can talk about anything.

Two people chatted nearby, offering words of comfort.

Aoko's mood improved considerably.

Half an hour later, the three of them had finished their dinner.

Just as I was about to stay a little longer before leaving,

Aoko's phone rang.

It was Nakamori Ginzo who called.

It's said that because Kid stole the Angel Heart, the police need to work overtime to search for him.

So tonight, Nakamori Ginzo won't be able to go home.

"But the jewels have been stolen, and Kidd has escaped."

Asking for flowers

"Kidd should return the gem in a couple of days."

Why waste time searching?

Aoko was somewhat puzzled.

Both wanted to avoid overworking their fathers.

"This time is different! Phantom Thief Kid smells bad!"

"We've borrowed the Metropolitan Police Department's most sensitive-nosed hunting dog," Nakamori Ginzo said confidently.

"We've tracked Kidd down by the smell and are now in a manhunt!"

"I'm not saying anything more, I need to catch up with the group!"

Nakamori Ginzo hung up the phone quickly.
