Conan: Pitiful, Weak, and Helpless
Inside the toilet of the Serena Elizabeth.
"That thing that woman is wearing on her chest must be the real Black Star, right?"
At this moment, Kuroba Kaito, whose face was still covered with Suzuki Jirokichi's mask, was sitting on the toilet in the stall, deep in thought.
After some reasoning that could hardly be called deduction, and a detailed investigation.
He now knows that the Black Star on Suzuki Tomoko's body is the real thing.
The next step is to go and pick up the goods.
"Knock knock knock!"
Just then, there was a knock on the toilet stall door. "Is anyone home?"
"Ahem."
Kuroba Kaito, his voice audible as Suzuki Jirokichi: "Someone's here."
Although the voice coming from outside the door sounded somewhat familiar, he didn't think much of it.
Without much thought, the toilet door was kicked open with a loud bang.
What came into view was a young man in a black suit, who was in a flying kick stance.
"So you're called Kaito Kid?"
As he spoke, Fujino silently pulled out a meter-long Frozen Fish from behind his back.
As he stared at the familiar-looking Frozen Fish, Kuroba Kaito's lips twitched slightly.
Good grief, how did I run into this guy again?!
That wretched Frozen Fish detective.
But then again, how did this guy know that he hates fish?
Could it be...?
"Ahem."
As he pondered, Kuroba Kaito coughed lightly, revealing a poker face.
He continued to impersonate Suzuki Jirokichi's voice without revealing his true feelings, "Fujino- kun, what are you talking about? Where is Kaito Kid...? Have you already found Kaito Kid?"
"It has been discovered."
A slight smile appeared on Fujino's lips as he lifted the Frozen Fish and slammed it down hard on Kuroba Kaito.
Blanch!
As the Frozen Fish drew closer, Kuroba Kaito cursed inwardly, then pulled out a flashbang from somewhere and threw it.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the entire compartment was enveloped in a blinding light.
In the bright light, Kuroba Kaito had somehow put on sunglasses.
Wearing sunglasses and maintaining his Suzuki Jirokichi persona, he nimbly climbed onto the toilet stall partition, attempting to escape from the top of the stall.
But just as he was about to climb over, he suddenly froze.
Kuroba Kaito: "?"
He turned around in confusion and saw that the detective's hand had grabbed his calf.
He tried to struggle, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free of the restraints.
The force exerted by those fair hands was like that of a pair of pliers.
Fujino grabbed Kuroba Kaito's leg and silently raised the Frozen Fish high before slashing it down hard at his lower body.
Duang!
With a cracking sound, the toilet in the bathroom was smashed by the Frozen Fish.
After the toilet was smashed, a large amount of thick smoke began to billow out from the surrounding area.
Before long, the toilet was filled with thick smoke.
Fujino rushed out of the bathroom through the thick fog.
He looked down and saw that all he was holding tightly in his hand was a pair of pants.
Has the cicada shed its shell?
Fujino examined the trousers in his hand, his brow furrowing slightly.
He immediately looked up and around, but Kuroba Kaito's figure had already disappeared.
Apart from the smoke emanating from the toilets, there was nothing else in the corridor.
"Did they escape?"
Fujino clicked his tongue.
This was exactly what he had expected.
Kuroba Kaito is, after all, someone who's practically cheating.
There's a problem if they can be caught easily.
However, the "golden cicada shedding its shell" trick is indeed ruthless.
"But how did that guy manage to hide so many flashbangs and smoke grenades on his person?"
Fujino glanced back at the smoke-filled restroom. "Could that guy also have Pocket Dimension?"
"Fujino, what happened here?!"
Just then, a child's voice came from behind.
Fujino turned his head and saw Conan rushing over.
"I just ran into Kaito Kid, but he got away..."
After a pause, Fujino asked in return, "Little Brother Conan, what brings you here?"
"Sonoko- neechan just spoke with Ayako- neechan on the phone. President Suzuki isn't on this ship at all. The person giving the speech on stage just now was Kaito Kid in disguise!"
As he spoke, Conan suddenly paused and noticed the trousers in Fujino's hand.
Trousers?
It looks like Chairman Suzuki's trousers.
How come Fujino is holding Suzuki's trousers?
Could it be...?
Thinking of this, Conan stared warily at Fujino.
He bent down, intending to activate the Power-enhancing shoes.
Fujino: "..."
Seeing that Conan was doubting him, Fujino took a deep breath and punched the Shinigami Elementary School Student on the head.
Bang!
The punch landed squarely on the back of the Shinigami Elementary School Student's head.
Conan suddenly felt his old eyes blur.
It seemed like Talking Tom spun around in place twice before finally coming to his senses.
The back of my head feels like it's been hit by a dump truck...
It's definitely Fujino!
Apart from Fujino, no one else could possibly achieve this level of skill!
Thinking of this, Conan's gaze toward Fujino became increasingly resentful.
If it's not true, then it's not true. Why hit him?
After confirming that Fujino was not Kaito Kid, Conan asked in confusion, "Fujino, how exactly did you discover that Kaito Kid was impersonating Chairman Suzuki?"
"If Sonoko- neechan hadn't been on the phone with Ayako, I wouldn't have known that Kaito Kid."
Fujino replied in a serious tone, "A detective's intuition."
"Ha?"
Conan was stunned by Fujino's serious-looking lie.
If you don't want to talk, then don't. Why keep trying to fool him with your gut feeling?
If he really had any detective intuition, wouldn't Kudo Shinichi, the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, have it?
Thinking of this, the resentment in his eyes deepened.
She's exactly like a complaining woman.
Just kidding.
Fujino looked at Conan's resentful expression, chuckled, and explained, "Although Kaito Kid can perfectly disguise himself as other people, he can't fake his emotions and words."
"Emotions and words?"
Conan was clearly puzzled by this answer.
Seeing Conan's bewildered expression, Fujino decided to teach him by example.
He went up and grabbed Conan's face, starting to torture him.
Conan, wanting to find out how to see through Kaito Kid's disguise, dared not resist.
He could only wear a look of utter despair, letting Fujino toy with him as he pleased...
Pitiful, weak, and helpless.
The corridor next to the toilet.
"Damn it, how did that guy even figure out my disguise?"
At this moment, Kuroba Kaito had disguised himself as a waiter and was walking down the corridor carrying a tray of food.
Recalling the terrifying scene just now, he still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Sir, have you seen a child wearing glasses?"
Just then, a sweet female voice suddenly came from behind.
Kuroba Kaito turned around and saw Mori Ran wearing a red dress.
He recognized the girl before him; she was a crucial part of his plan to steal the Black Star ...
He had originally planned to lure her out, but he unexpectedly bumped into her by chance; it was like a dream come true...
Thinking of this, Kuroba Kaito chuckled and replied, "Is it the boy in the blue suit?"
"That's right."
Ran nodded, her face full of worry.
"Plz follow me."
