Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

Looking at Nakamori Ginzo and his subordinates leaving in a hurry, and Fujimaru Ritsuka not revealing his existence until the end, Kuroba Kaito secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he turned around and found that Fujimaru Ritsuka was looking at him with a smile in her eyes, which made him quickly realize one thing -

The other party's behavior just now was definitely a trick on him, right? !

Too bad!!

Of course, now that the other party has the handle in his hands, he can only feel helpless and furious in his heart, and he has no way to deal with the other party.

On the other side, Suzuki Sonoko was staring at the photo of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Kaito Kid on her phone, and her eyes were almost red with envy.

“I’m so jealous——!”

“Why can’t I encounter such a good thing?! ! ! ! ”

Seeing her frantic look, everyone couldn't help but feel ashamed. Mao Lilan helplessly pulled her arm gently and said:

"Zonoko, calm down..."

Hearing this, Suzuki Sonoko finally sobered up a little, and then suddenly remembered something, and said to Mao Lilan:

"So, Xiaolan, did you really meet Mr. Kidd just now?!"

"that……"

Mao Lilan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded reluctantly:

"Well, almost."

"Eh?"

"Really?!"

Suzuki Sonoko finally couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up from her seat and said firmly:

"Since Ritsuka and Xiaolan have both met Mr. Kidd, there's no reason why I can't!"

"I am about to set off to find my prince!"

"Xiaolan, let's go!"

"Hey, wait a minute, Sonoko--!"

Caught off guard, Ran Mouri screamed and was forcibly pulled out of her seat by the arm by Suzuki Sonoko. She followed Nakamori Ginzo and others and embarked on a journey to find Kaito Kid.

But Kaito Kidd is here!

Mao Lilan shouted helplessly in her heart, and when she passed by Kuroba Kaito who was pretending to be a waiter, she couldn't help but look at him again. Kuroba Kaito could only watch her with his eyes and pretend that he knew nothing.

Seeing Mao Lilan being forcibly taken away by Suzuki Sonoko, Conan was so upset that he couldn't help but complain in a low voice:

"This crazy girl only has this kind of motivation at times like this."

But there was another thing that concerned him more.

Judging from what Mouri Ran said, the reason why she was absent-minded just now was because of Kaito Kid. In other words, did something happen between them?

"Speaking of it,"

Since the topic of Kaito Kidd was mentioned, Mashu asked curiously:

"I've read some reports about him, saying that after he successfully stole the gems, he would return them to their original owners. I'm curious, why would he do that?"

“No one knows the answer to this question.”

Hearing this, Dr. Agasa at the next table smiled and said:

"Some say he was putting on a show, some say he was looking for excitement, and some say he just wanted to tease the rich and the police. In short, there is no definite answer."

In fact, it's not just Mashu. Most of the people who follow Kaito Kid have been curious about this matter. People have also been discussing it online, but there are many different opinions, and there is still no definite answer.

After all, they had no way to interview Kaito Kid or invite him to answer the questions in person.

Moreover, apart from his unusually high-profile style of committing crimes, everything else about Kaito Kid is unknown, making him extremely mysterious.

"Is that so?"

Mashu was still a little confused after hearing this, and Conan couldn't help but tease:

"I think that guy is just a villain who likes to put on airs..."

"what!"

Before he could finish his words, Conan suddenly cried out in pain. It turned out that a waiter who came to carry the empty plates accidentally hit his head while doing so.

"Eh?! I'm sorry, little one, you're not hurt, are you?"

The other party apologized in a panic. Conan rubbed the place where he was hit and smiled reluctantly:

"It's okay, it was just a slight bump, it shouldn't be a problem."

"That's good! I'm so sorry!"

After confirming that Conan was not injured, the waiter breathed a sigh of relief and apologized to him again and again embarrassedly. After several times, he turned around and left.

Conan could only sigh inwardly and curse his bad luck, but looking at the other person's departing back, he suddenly felt as if something was wrong.

"—?!"

Suddenly, he realized something and quickly jumped off his seat to chase after the other person.

"I'm going to the bathroom!"

That guy must be Kidd!

When he arrived at the restaurant entrance, he just happened to see the other person's back at the corner of the passage. Conan hurriedly chased after him, but when he reached the corner, he found that the other person's figure had completely disappeared.

“Where did you go…?”

Conan looked around in confusion, and at this moment, a hand suddenly reached out from behind him and covered his mouth, and another hand hugged him and quickly took him into the room next door.

"Well……!"

"Okay stop yelling, it's me."

Hearing a familiar voice coming from behind, Conan finally calmed down.

Sensing that he had stopped struggling, the other party also let go of his hand. Conan turned his head and saw that it was indeed the male waiter who accidentally touched him just now.

There is no doubt that this is the disguised identity of Kaito Kidd.

Then, Conan asked in a deep voice:

"What's with that Band-Aid on your hand?!"

"Is that what you're talking about?"

Kuroba Kaito took off the band-aid that Mao Lilan gave him from his arm, threw it to him with a smile and said:

"This is given to me by your sister Xiaolan. If you like it, I'll give it to you."

It turned out that he had put a new Band-Aid on the wound on his arm, and the Band-Aid that Mouri Ran gave him was used by him as a prop to lure Conan to follow him out.

"Xiaolan gave it to you?"

Conan reached out to take the Band-Aid, and looked at the words "Shinichi LOVE" on it, with his eyes twitching slightly.

"What's the meaning of the words on it?"

"Who knows?"

Kuroba Kaito shrugged and said jokingly:

"Maybe it's a little thought of expressing love to someone?"

"what!"

Hearing this, Conan blushed a little, but soon thought of something and shook his head:

"I think it's more likely a prank by that Sonoko guy."

Based on his understanding of Mao Lilan, she would not do such a thing. Even if she did, she would never give such a Band-Aid to other people casually. Even he probably wouldn't give it to others, right?

So it is more likely that Suzuki Sonoko was playing a prank on Mouri Ran, as she often does this kind of thing.

And because of this, Mao Lilan gave away such a Band-Aid without knowing it, and then...

"what,"

Thinking of the abnormal situation of Mao Lilan just now, Conan immediately had a guess, and said to Kuroba Kaito in a joking tone:

"Could it be that because of this Band-Aid, your true identity was discovered by Xiaolan?"

"—"

Kuroba Kaito's smile froze and his expression suddenly became a little awkward.

It was a huge stain on his career that his disguise was exposed because of something like this.

And this Kudo Shinichi, he actually deduced the situation at that time with just a few words and a small Band-Aid. How come he has such a good brain? !

He couldn't help but complain, but at this moment, Conan seemed to have thought of something and asked with some doubt:

"Since your identity was discovered by Xiaolan, how did you get away?"

“Ahahaha, this…”
