"It shouldn't be that bad..."

Kuroba Kaito was somewhat taken aback.

He felt that it was just a matter of blowing up a substation.

How could anyone possibly die?

But after hearing what Fujino said, he felt a little scared.

Regarding Kuroba Kaito's performance.

Fujino commented. "This kid probably has some serious mental issues."

Why make such a commotion? Do you really think no one will die?

To put it nicely, it's a means employed for the purpose of theft.

To put it bluntly, that was a terrorist attack.

If this happened in America, it would definitely cause a wave of mold growth... Oh right, there's mold here, so it's okay.

But thinking about it carefully, given the nature of this world, it seems unlikely...

But that didn't stop Fujino from continuing.

It's all a routine.

"You said the hospital has backup power."

Fujino paused for a moment, then continued, "But as a detective, I also have some knowledge of medicine... The operating table is like a battlefield. Once the power goes out, even with the technology of this era, it takes tens of seconds for the hospital's backup power to start up."

"You even studied medicine?"

Kuroba Kaito looked at Fujino with a puzzled expression, his lips twitching slightly.

Is there anything this guy can't do...?

That's not the point.

Fujino took a deep breath. "The key point is that those few dozen seconds of power outage are enough to kill a patient on the operating table who is on life support with medical equipment."

Kuroba Kaito frowned upon hearing this.

He didn't know anything about this either.

But I feel that Fujino is right.

"So, to be honest, I'm very disappointed in you."

Fujino shook his head, his calm eyes fixed on Kuroba Kaito, his words tinged with disappointment. "I thought you were a phantom thief different from other criminals, but I never expected you to be this kind of person."

"I..."

Faced with Fujino's verbal interrogation, Kuroba Kaito was momentarily speechless.

He didn't know what to say.

For some inexplicable reason, Douzi felt a little wronged.

It was as if I had let my father down.

He began to doubt whether he had done the right thing by blowing up the substation.

Seeing that Kuroba Kaito's expression had changed and his poker face had crumbled, Fujino's lips curled up slightly. "Actually, I wouldn't mind helping you out."

"What kind of help?"

Kuroba Kaito, regaining his senses, looked at Fujino.

"If you give up on blowing up the substation."

Then, Fujino paused and said, "I can tell you the location of the Egg of Memories."

Kuroba Kaito asked in surprise, "Um... didn't you just say you were going to tell me the location of the Egg of Memories?"

Did he hear that right?

This guy actually wants to tell him where the Egg of Memories is?

Is this for real?

"If this can stop you from blowing up the substation."

Fujino sighed, as if he had made a decision against his ancestors, and then pointed to an inconspicuous building not far away. "The Egg of Memories is hidden there."

Fujino stared at Kuroba Kaito in bewilderment.

Suddenly, he felt as if he had become the villain.

"I understand... This time, I owe you a favor."

Kuroba Kaito sighed softly, turned around, spread his wings, and jumped down. He then shot a card at Fujino, saying, "Thank you, Great Detective."

He was originally troubled about whether or not to continue bombing the substation.

I never expected that Fujino would actually break her principles as a detective for him...

Thinking of this, Kuroba Kaito suddenly felt an indescribable emotion welling up in his heart.

Douzi: I'm a little touched.

Fujino reached out and grabbed the phone name tag, which had a phone number on it.

"You're welcome."

He waved with a smile, watching the departing figure of Kaito Kid, a slight smile curving his Fujino.

They've fallen for it.

Soon, Kuroba Kaito arrived at the building that Fujino had indicated.

After a series of magical maneuvers, he successfully snatched the Egg of Memories from Nakamori Ginzo's hands.

"Kaito Kid!"

Nakamori Ginzo shouted "Kaito Kid!" and looked extremely angry.

Once the Kaito Kid had walked away, his expression suddenly calmed down.

A smile appeared on his face, "As expected of Brother Fujino, Kaito Kid has indeed taken the bait!"

"Inspector, the Egg of Memories has been stolen!"

At this moment Nakamori Ginzo's men arrived and said anxiously.

Don't worry.

Nakamori Ginzo waved his hand, "What he stole was just a fake."

"A fake?"

"That's right, this was all part of Fujino's plan."

Nakamori Ginzo explained, "I placed the fake Egg of Memories on the display stand, and I kept the real and fake Egg of Memories by playing along. The real Egg of Memories is now placed elsewhere."

"As expected of Detective Fujino."

The police officer suddenly realized what was happening and couldn't help but sigh.

On the Tsutenkaku Tower.

Tsutenkaku Tower is very tall, and from here you can almost overlook Osaka.

That is precisely why Kaito Kid chose this place as the location for his observation mission.

Fujino was still standing on the top of the tower.

His Vision Enhancement Glasses activated their magnification and tracking function, allowing him to witness Kuroba Kaito steal the Egg of Memories and then leave.

"Did you steal it?"

Fujino gazed at the white figure through his Vision Enhancement Glasses.

Then, following the direction Kuroba Kaito had gone, he saw a large bridge.

"That should be it."

Fujino silently turned off his Vision Enhancement Glasses, put on his helmet, took out his Grappling Gun, and made an emergency landing from the top of the Tower of Babel.

Upon reaching the bottom of the tower, he glanced around.

He found a secluded spot, took the motorcycle out of his Pocket Dimension, and used the Kamen Rider pendant to disguise it as another motorcycle.

He put on his helmet and activated his Old Driver skills, speeding towards the bridge in the direction Kuroba Kaito had headed.

The motorcycle's taillights were marked with a red line.

By the time Fujino arrived, the ground was littered with equipment that had already been destroyed.

A broken monocle, a fake Egg of Memories revealed from a box that had fallen apart, and a plump, injured white pigeon that would probably taste delicious roasted.

"You got a loot drop?"

Fujino crouched down and silently put the fake Egg of Memories into his Pocket Dimension. "The person should still be alive."

This trip can't be in vain.

He accepted the fake Egg of Memories.

Even though it's a fake, it's still worth a lot of money.

It's a way to keep a memento.

Conan then rushed over, and upon seeing Fujino, he didn't seem particularly surprised.

After all, he had already guessed that Fujino must have already discovered the conclusions that he and Hattori Heiji had reached together.

"Fujino, where is the Egg of Memories?!"

Conan glanced at the equipment that had been dropped on the ground and anxiously asked Fujino what was wrong.

"He was taken away by Kaito Kid."

Fujino put on white gloves, picked up his monocle, and stood up from the ground.

"What?!"

Conan was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, this is all part of the plan."

Fujino glanced at Conan. "Kaito Kid stole was just a fake."

Conan looked at Fujino upon hearing this, but in an instant, he understood what was going on.

Is this part of the plan?

No wonder even he was kept in the dark.

This guy pulled off a counter-strategy.

At that moment, Conan noticed the monocle in Fujino's hand. "That Phantom Kaito Kid, could he have been shot because he made an emergency landing?"

"Gun?"

Fujino turned around and glanced at Conan.

"That's right."

Conan nodded. "Just now, I saw someone pointing a gun at Kaito Kid from the overpass not far from here."

"This lens was obviously not broken. Someone must have shot Kaito Kid in the right eye, hitting the monocle... But judging from the lack of blood on the monocle, the guy probably wasn't hit."

Conan suddenly adopted a serious, deductive demeanor, unlike a child.

"It seems that Kaito Kid has messed with someone else... Or is that person also after the Egg of Memories...? Who knows?"

Fujino narrowed his eyes, glanced at Conan, and then looked at the dark sea. "But with his abilities, he shouldn't die easily."

"By the way, where's Hattori Heiji?"

As he spoke, he added, "I remember he was supposed to be working with you."

"He's injured."

Conan explained, "Just now, when we were chasing Kaito Kid, a truck hit his motorcycle."

Was he hit by a motorcycle again?

Fujino's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Even with the power outage, Xiao Hei chicken in Osaka still got hit by a truck.

That kid is really reckless when he rides his bike.

—Even though he rides his bike quite recklessly.

But who is he?

He's a seasoned Old Driver, so you can't generalize.

After a pause, Fujino continued, "How badly were they damaged?"

"Have no idea."

"Did your shoes get knocked off?"

Conan frowned, somewhat confused about what Fujino was talking about, and simply replied, "No, that's not true."

"That's alright. As long as the shoe hasn't been knocked off, there's still hope for that person."

Fujino waved his hand, then suggested, "Since the Egg of Memories wasn't stolen, let's quickly see how badly that kid was hit..."

Let's see how badly it's damaged, see if we can get some Doctor Profession points, and maybe even settle some personal scores while we're at it.

Afterwards, Conan picked up the pigeon and rushed with Fujino to the location where Hattori Heiji was hit by a truck.

"Hattori, the ambulance is almost here."

Conan glanced at the time on his watch and offered words of comfort to Hattori Heiji.

"Did they catch up with Kaito Kid?"

Hattori Heiji sat by the roadside, grinning as he asked.

"Don't worry, the Egg of Memories wasn't stolen by Kaito Kid. He just stole a fake."

As he spoke, he gave Fujino a resentful look and said in a childish voice, "This was all Fujino's plan. We two and Kaito Kid were completely fooled!"

"..."

Hattori Heiji and Fujino were speechless as they watched Conan feigning madness.

How are you feeling now?

Fujino silently stepped forward and began to examine Hattori Heiji's injuries.

"It hurts..."

Fujino glanced at Hattori Heiji speechlessly.

Can't you tell how he feels from his expression?

"I mean, where does it hurt?"

As he spoke, Fujino squatted down and pinched Hattori Heiji's elbow.

"Pain!"

Heiji let out a cry.
