Conan: I'm teasing Conan in Mingke

"What? Phantom Thief No. 1412?" Xiaolan, who was originally looking at the skirts displayed in the window, turned back and asked in confusion after hearing what her friend Sonoko said.

"Yes! That's the thief who is in his forties and is very popular among young girls nowadays!" Sonoko couldn't stop talking about the handsome guy and kept giving Xiaolan some scientific knowledge.

"Uncle?" Xiaolan raised her eyes. She originally thought that Yuanzi liked young handsome men, but she didn't expect that she also liked this kind of uncle.

"How come you didn't know that you are the detective's daughter?" Sonoko tilted her head in confusion.

"Please, just because I'm a detective's daughter, I can't be interested in every case." Xiaolan was speechless for a moment, turned around and walked towards home.

She and Yuanzi had almost finished their stroll, and it was raining now. If she didn't go back, she would be soaked.

"But please listen to me, Xiaolan." Sonoko chased after her and hugged Xiaolan's arm.

"So what you want to tell me next is that you hope my father can catch this thief, right?" Xiaolan, who had long seen through her friend's infatuated nature, said it for her.

"Yes, yes, you should know that right now, the Mihua Museum is holding a jewelry exhibition with famous gems from all over the world!

My father also plans to exhibit our family heirloom, the dark star that brings good luck.

That’s why we hope to ask your father to help us protect this pearl.”

"But my father doesn't need to show up in this kind of thing. I just need to ask the police for protection." Besides, isn't it the police's job to catch thieves?

"No! If the police catch him, the thief will be taken away directly by the police!" Sonoko pouted.

"But if I'm caught by your father, Xiaolan, maybe I'll have a chance to see his face face to face."

"Face?"

"Yes, it's the face! Aren't you curious about what he looks like?" Sonoko became excited again.

"No. 1412 is the number one thief who has caused headaches for people all over the world! I think he must be a handsome middle-aged man. I wonder if he looks like Harrison Ford or John Reno."

"Yuanzi, you are so happy." Xiaolan sighed, not knowing what to say.

Just at this moment, the green light on the road came on. Xiaolan urged Yuanzi, who was still lost in her fantasy, "Yuanzi, the light is green!"

"Come on, come on!" Yuanzi agreed and talked about the topic she had just fantasized about: "It would be even better if he looked like Brad Pitt."

Xiaolan smiled, but saw a very familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

Subconsciously looking over, she saw 'Shinichi' chatting with someone as he passed by her.

That 'Shinichi' just walked away as if he hadn't noticed her at all.

"Shinichi!" Xiaolan wanted to catch up, but was suddenly pulled back. Immediately afterwards, Sonoko also screamed, "Xiaolan!"

Just as she pulled back, a car flashed past her.

Xiaolan finally came to her senses and was so scared that sweat broke out on her back.

"Xiaolan, the light is red. It's very dangerous." A familiar male voice sounded behind her. Xiaolan looked back and a familiar face came into her sight.

"Brother Kurokawa!"

"It's me, Xiaolan." Kurokawa Keizawa smiled gently, "What happened just now? The traffic light is red."

"I just saw Shinichi!" Xiaolan then remembered why she had chased after him. She looked across the street again, but she didn't see Shinichi...

"Gone..."

"Maybe they just look alike." Sonoko came over and patted Xiaolan's back worriedly.

"Maybe." Xiaolan lowered her head in disappointment. She had thrown the umbrella to the ground a long time ago, and the raindrops fell on her one by one.

Kurokawa Keizawa pulled his umbrella, walked to Xiaolan and held the umbrella for the lost Xiaolan.

"Brother Kurokawa, I'm sorry." After Xiaolan came to her senses, she picked up her umbrella and apologized to Kurokawa Keizawa with some guilt.

"It's okay, Xiaolan." Kurokawa Keizawa comforted her softly, "If you have any troubles, you can always come to me."

"Yeah." Xiaolan nodded.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go home quickly." Kurokawa Keizawa urged the two people.

"Okay." The two nodded at the same time and said goodbye to Kurokawa Keizawa, "Bye, Kurokawa brother."

"Bye." Kurokawa Keizawa also waved to them.

Only after the two figures disappeared from her sight did Kurokawa Keizawa turn around and walk towards his apartment.

"The boy who looks exactly like Kudo Shinichi, Kuroba Kaito."

Kurokawa Keizawa took out the crystal that Koizumi Hongzi had given her at the bar just now, and said to himself, "You don't mind if I help you, do you?"

The crystal flickered subtly.

Kurokawa Keizawa smiled and said, "You really don't mind. Haven't you always wanted to conquer him?"

The crystal flashed again.

"How should I know? Of course I know. I even know that boy is Kaito Kidd."

Crystal was silent.

The mockery in Kurokawa Keizawa's eyes became even stronger.

……

—Top floor of Kurokawa Group Building—

"Chairman, this is the cruise invitation letter sent by the Suzuki Group." Kitano Shunsuke took out an exquisite envelope and handed it to Kurokawa Keisawa.

"This is really strange. The wealthy families have been avoiding me lately. How could someone send me an invitation at this time?"

Kurokawa Keizawa took it and put it aside and asked, "Besides this?"

"Mrs. Suzuki called here yesterday." Kitano Shunsuke answered truthfully, "She said she wanted you to wear a pair of banquet gloves to the banquet that day."

"Gloves?" Kurokawa Keizawa thought about it and understood Suzuki Tomoko's idea.

At the banquet tomorrow night, Kaito Kid will come to steal the Dark Star, and Suzuki Tomoko has already customized a batch of fakes in advance, intending to hide the real Dark Star among them.

Pearls represent the moon and women. Kaito Kid will definitely target the women present or those whose names contain the word "moon".

The primary purpose of giving him the pearl might have been to confuse him.

The main component of pearls is calcium carbonate, which is very susceptible to acid erosion.

If the pearls are contaminated by the oil from your fingers, their surface will become acidic and lose its luster.

That's why he was specifically asked to wear gloves to attend the banquet.

"It's becoming more and more interesting." I wonder what choice Kaito Kuroba will make?

"Chairman?" Kitano Shunsuke tilted his head in confusion and called out Kurokawa Keisawa.

"It's okay, Junsuke, don't follow me to the party tomorrow." He planned to kidnap Kidd after the party. It would be difficult to act with an uninformed person.

"Eh? But..." Kitano Shunsuke had never seen Kurokawa Keisawa know any martial arts, so naturally he thought that his chairman was a frail handsome man.

If he didn't protect the chairman's safety, what if he was bullied by that group of self-righteous wealthy consortiums...
