magician under the moon

"Dean? Are you listening?"

"Miyano Shiho? This!" Hikaru Yamaguchi stared blankly at the empty ward, with shock written all over his face.

"Ah. What did you say?"

"Who is that girl?" He didn't answer Zhuo Ye's question, his eyes were fixed on the front.

"They are the ones who sent Kidd to the hospital that day. They heard that Kidd woke up, so they came to the hospital to see him. Why, is it not allowed?" Zhuo Ye's voice became smaller and smaller, and he even wanted to turn around if he could He ran away, but his legs kept shaking and he couldn't take a step.It wasn't because of the gloomy horror on the dean's face in front of him, nor was it because the temperature around him seemed to drop suddenly, but a cold feeling swept over him, as if it wanted to pierce the skin and swallow people up.

"Ah? Oh no. I'm just worried about his body." Shocked by his gaffe, Yamaguchi restrained his breath for a moment.A slight smile makes people feel like a spring breeze. 'It must be a mistake, it just looks alike.After so many years, how could he still be a child. '

"That's right! Hehe!" Zhuo also wiped the sweat from his forehead. 'Really, it really is an illusion.It must have been caused by outsiders recently. '

"By the way, what did you want to say just now?"

"Ah?" The table was also taken aback, and then he slapped his head, "Oh, well, there is a man named Amano Akihito who said...he is someone you knew before and wants to meet you alone .”

"Didn't I tell you?" His brows were slightly frowned, and his tone was a bit unfriendly, "I haven't seen anyone recently. Besides, I don't know Akihito Amano."

"He is the founder of the "Shiyi" website called 'Political Nemesis'. I was really shocked. That person is a mysterious guy who never shows up easily, probably because he has many heavyweights. Negative coverage, let some politicians tremble with fear."

"I know why he wants to see me. You go and tell him. I won't disclose any information about Kaito Kidd. Since Kuroba Kaito lives here, he is my patient. No information has been passed through him or his family. I won’t say a word to the media.” Yamaguchi said nonchalantly, continuing the footsteps that were interrupted by the accident just now.

"I told him, he didn't listen, what else did you say, you have worked together, but it's been a long time, so you may have forgotten him. Oh, by the way, this is what he gave you, what did he say A meeting gift. He also said that as long as you accept this gift, you will remember him."

"This is?" He took what Zhuo Ye handed over.Yamaguchi froze in place.A black wine bottle with narrow shoulders and a round shape, with a thin layer of dust, which not only cannot cover up its dazzling luster, but adds a restrained demeanor accumulated over time.It's just that there is a little bit of it, which is disturbingly weird.His hands were trembling slightly, and he reached out gently to wipe off the dust on the wine bottle. A line of English letters made Akihito Amano's pupils shrink suddenly.

"The name Pinot Noir is not only the queen of wine grapes, but also a kind of fine French wine. It's very interesting, isn't it?" Zhuo also deliberately lowered his voice, imitating the tone of Akihito Amano, "Give him to your dean , he will naturally meet me."

"Where is that guy?" The tone was very calm, but a little dry, but his eyes were like the surface of the sea in the mist, making it hard to figure out.

"Oh, this is the address he gave you. He asked you to find him here."

"Understood, you go to your work."

"Well, okay." Looking at the dean who seemed to be a bit out of his mind, Zhuo was also a little puzzled, "What's the matter, it's really weird today."

His hands were clenched into fists, his nails dug deep into his skin, and he lowered his head, showing no expression.Yamaguchi Koichi stood quietly alone, ignoring the surprised eyes of doctors or patients passing by occasionally, because his thoughts had already drifted back to the bloody years.Memories become more profound at this moment, like a mystery.After a long time, Amano came back to his senses again and took a step forward.

"Amano Akihito?...Is this your current name?" Yamaguchi's eyes couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, "Kuroha Huihiko, after eight years of hiding, you finally appeared. This time, What do you want to do again?"

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++

The moment the door of the ward was gently opened, the four of them let go of their hanging hearts almost at the same time, but they couldn't help being slightly surprised.The person on the hospital bed sat there quietly, letting the afterglow of the setting sun outline his handsome face.

There is no pride and coldness that seemed to change the color of the world when he was a magician under the moon, but there is only fragility and sadness that inadvertently leaked from the slightly furrowed brows.For a moment, the four of them hesitated, as if they had accidentally intruded into someone else's private territory, not knowing how to advance or retreat.

"Who? Eh? What?" Kaito turned his head when he heard the voice.He quickly raised his left hand and pinched a white object into his palm.Of course, this little move was not noticed by the four people who came in.

"Why are you in a daze, the car accident won't blow your brain out!" Hattori was always the first to speak.

"Why are you here, are you not afraid...?"

Looking carefully at Kaito, there was nothing abnormal except for his normal weak look just after major surgery.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.It was as if the scene I saw just now was just a small illusion.

"Are you afraid now? It's too late, I sent you to the hospital with Conan, and now it's spreading all over the world, saying that I, a famous high school student detective in Kansai, and this little guy are actually with Kidd . " A look of indifference "However, this time, they guessed right."

Seeing that his companion didn't care about other people's comments, Kaito's heart warmed up, his face showed a 'serious' reasoning look, and he put his right hand on his chin, imitating Conan's habitual movements. "Well, the thief and the detective colluded. This is really the biggest scandal in the detective world."

"More than that, I also brought you a new accomplice." Conan pretended to ignore his teasing, smiled slightly, turned sideways, and made way for him.

"Long time no see, Phantom Thief Kid."

"This sweet voice...could it be..." Kaito suddenly felt his scalp go numb.After seeing the person coming, his eyes widened even more, "Bai Ma, why are you here!"

"What, it's such an attitude to see a classmate I haven't seen for a long time. After I heard the news that Kidd was hospitalized, I flew 10436km from London to Tokyo."

"...You really look the same..."

"However, why did I hear that someone was anorexic when I came here?" Putting his hands in his pockets, he leaned forward, and the white horse had a look on his face. "Isn't it because the crime was exposed that he deliberately went on a hunger strike?"

"Cut, I don't do that kind of boring thing!"

"Oh? What's the reason? Mr. Thief." Hui Yuan was also curious.

"This is a puzzle belonging to Phantom Thief Kid, can you solve it?" Kaito opened the drawer of the bedside table with a mysterious expression on his face.

Soon the curious gazes of several visitors turned into stunned, not because the drawers could be opened, but because of the full stuff inside.A half-pack of biscuits, a box of sushi, a chicken leg with only bones left, and a pile of unrecognizable food corpses.

The white horse glanced at a small bowl next to it, showing an inscrutable smile.

Hattori scratched his head, "I said, Kaito, what are you doing? Even if you can't think about it, you have to be careful."

Haibara sighed, and let out an 'elderly' exclamation, "I really didn't expect that the famous Kaitou Kidd turned out to be as greedy as a child."

"What kind of puzzle is this?" Conan picked up the white feathers scattered on the ground, "Isn't it just letting your pigeon buy food for you?"

"wrong!"

"It's impossible for my reasoning to go wrong." She was resolutely disdainful.

"It was stolen, don't tell Police Officer Zhongsen." Someone conjured up a skewer of roast lamb and ate it with relish.

Conan had to reveal his triangular eyes, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch nervously. "Hey... hello..."

"Hey, what kind of person, what kind of pigeons?" The remaining three people, facing Kaidou with a wicked smile on his face, spoke in unison with a rare tacit understanding.

"I was just going to ask you, what's going on outside, is there a parade!" Kaidou pointed out the window, "It's so noisy, it's like this from morning to night, and I can finally sleep peacefully."

"Also, it's not your fault." Conan walked to the bed and glanced at the many people holding various banners and looking at the hospital eagerly.

"Me?" Kaito was a little confused.

"You really have no self-awareness about your own charm!" Hattori also began to tease "Since your glorious deeds were hyped up that night, now your number of fans has increased dramatically. Oh, by the way, someone even said that day The conversation between you and Qingzi was filmed and posted on the Internet. What is the poignant love of a magician under the moon, a modern version of Romeo and Juliet. I don’t know how many idiots complain about women, snot and tears there. I really don’t know... Hattori, who kept talking to himself, swallowed the words abruptly after seeing Kaito's face.

"That's right!"

Kaito put away his playful expression, lowered his head, with a look of sadness in his eyes.The night that shattered all familiar worlds overnight like a violent storm came to mind again.When Qingzi questioned her, the feeling of cutting her heart like a knife is still so clear to this day.Carefully recalling every detail, the expression on the face also changed with the memory, until finally, gradually, a smile bloomed on the lips.

None of the four people beside the bed spoke.Just watching silently, the information conveyed by the concerned gaze in the eyes has already surpassed the pale words.

until........

"How is my mother...and, Qingzi, is she... all right?"

"It's fine, don't worry, she is probably the most energetic girl I've ever seen besides Kazuha." Although she is sometimes considered impulsive, Hattori's gentleness and consideration for friends has always been impressive. Feel a kind of unspoken warmth. "I'm just a little worried about you. She was clamoring to come, but I stopped her. After all, there are so many people outside and the reporters are here. I'm afraid they will keep asking her questions when they see her. Your mother and Don't worry about the housekeeper, they live in that house in the suburbs now. No one will bother you. I also called them just now, knowing that you are awake, they are more at ease. "

"That's good. Thank you for taking care of her for me."

"There's no need to say thank you between friends." Conan smiled and said everyone's aspirations.

"Yeah." Kuai Dou's nose soured, but then he showed a warm smile, "That's what you said, then since we are friends, I don't need to apologize for stealing things from your house in the future."

"......" Looking at someone who is easy to change in the country and hard to change in nature, three sentences are not far from the line, and the face-changing speed can apply for someone who can apply for the Guinness Book of Records, Conan can only twitch the corners of his mouth again.

"There's one thing I've been forgetting to ask. Did the man who revealed Kaito's identity to the public that night find any results?" Baima, who hadn't opened his mouth all this time, suddenly asked.

"There is no clue." Hattori shook his head regretfully, "I asked a friend I knew in the police station to go to the TV station to inquire, and the staff there said that the man mysteriously disappeared after the show ended, and There is no proof of his identity, or a way to get in touch with him. And when he was on the show, he was wearing a hat and sunglasses, so we didn't even know what he really looked like."

"Really, come and go without a trace, is it possible that that man is a member of the organization?"

"No." Hui Yuanai on the side quickly gave a negative answer, "Doing so will not benefit the organization. The organization has a code of conduct, and all activities, no matter whether they succeed or fail, must never be known by the outside world. Not to mention Talk about going on TV and announcing the identity of someone you want to kill."

"Whether you succeed or fail, you must never be known to the outside world?" Hattori silently repeated Haibara's words, and a question appeared in his mind, "According to what you said, this man announced Kaito's identity. For the organization, not only is it not a good thing, but it is a threat?"

"To be precise, it is a very big threat. Because all the actions taken by the organization against Kaito in the future may be exposed to the public's view. Regarding this, the organization may have some scruples."
