Just Who Is This Guy Conan? / I Hope Kaitou Kid Is Okay

Even Ikumi Soda and Harufumi Mogi couldn't help but look at Kaito Kid, as if they wanted to find out what Kaito Kid true face had never been seen by anyone for eighteen years, really looked like.

Faced with the flaw that Jiang Hang had pointed out to him yesterday afternoon, Kaito Kid seemed somewhat helpless. "It's not difficult to fool you for a short time, but it's not so easy to fool you for a long time."

His gaze fell on Saguru Hakuba and Conan: "I was careless. It looks like I've lost this time."

Sensing the slight upturn of Saguru Hakuba's lips, Kaito Kid's next words caused the faces of the famous detectives to turn serious.

"However, I'm not planning to end things here. As a phantom thief, even when I'm about to close the show, I want to do it in a place with a larger audience. So, I'm sorry, now that the case here is solved, I should leave."

As Kaito Kid finished speaking, everyone inside the helicopter felt a momentary daze, and then the fatigue from not sleeping all night suddenly burst forth from their bodies.

"When did you drug me?" By this point, Saguru Hakuba had realized something was wrong, but at this moment, he didn't even have the strength to pull the trigger of his pistol.

Next, Conan collapsed first, followed by the women Koharu Yoshino, Ikumi Soda, Ran, and finally Saguru Hakuba, Harufumi Mogi, and the police officers standing around Kaito Kid.

Even Jiang Hang slowly collapsed.

Just before Saguru Hakuba collapsed and fell into a deep sleep, he only heard the last words spoken by Kaito Kid:

"After a busy night, you should all get a good night's sleep now, my dear 'lovers'."

Chapter 299: Chapter 297: Who is this Conan guy?

The people inside the helicopter slowly collapsed and fell into a deep sleep.

Kaito Kid was handcuffed by Saguru Hakuba, took out an inconspicuous Lockpicking tool from his sleeve and easily removed the handcuffs from his hands.

As an escape expert, he can remove these ordinary handcuffs in less than 10 seconds.

After casually tossing the handcuffs aside, he looked at the other detectives in the helicopter to confirm that they were now asleep.

Then he breathed a slight sigh of relief, removed his disguise, and revealed his true appearance.

He looked at Jiang Hang, who seemed to be in a deep sleep, and a helpless expression appeared on his face.

"Shouldn't you be awake by now?"

"Don't tell me you drugged yourself and knocked yourself out."

As Kaito Kid finished speaking, Jiang Hang, who was lying in his seat and seemingly unconscious from being drugged, suddenly opened his eyes.

Looking at his energetic appearance now, there's no sign that he's been drugged.

"You've taken off your disguise, you look much better now. I wasn't quite used to talking to you while staring at Uncle Mori's face!" Jiang Hang greeted Kaito Kid in a fairly cheerful mood.

Kaito Kid's expression remained unchanged. "You already knew about the Twilight Mansion incident, didn't you?"

Jiang Hang knew that Kaito Kid wasn't someone who cared about wealth, so he spoke more casually, "Actually, I didn't know about it much earlier; I only found out about this quite late."

"Besides, I just helped you, now is not the time to worry about this kind of thing."

In fact, the drug that knocked everyone out was administered by Jiang Hang when everyone's attention was focused on Kaito Kid. Otherwise, with his entire body under control and several famous detectives watching him, it wouldn't have been so easy for Kaito Kid to use the drug.

Those famous detectives probably never imagined that Jiang Hang, a mole, would infiltrate the detective gathering to capture Kaito Kid.

Jiang Hang stood up from his seat and looked at the others, his action being to check if they were pretending to be asleep.

However, it was clear that these famous detectives hadn't expected this move under such circumstances.

The sedative Jiang Hang used this time didn't last as Shukuzen Oogami, but it took effect much faster. It was effective in three seconds, and the person would fall into a deep sleep within half a minute. Normally, it would take three or four hours for them to wake up. If Jiang Hang hadn't given Kid a dose of the antidote beforehand, Kid would be lying on the ground by now.

This group of famous detectives haven't closed their eyes since last night, and they probably won't wake up until the afternoon.

After noticing that Koharu Yoshino's sleeping posture was a little unladylike, he went to Koharu Yoshino side and helped her adjust her sleeping posture to be more ladylike.

Conan, who was lying on the ground, didn't receive the same treatment.

Jiang Hang only glanced at him before turning his gaze back to Kaito Kid.

Kaito Kid, however, walked over and picked up Conan, placing him on a seat to the side.

After doing this, he looked at Jiang Hang, and just as Jiang Hang had expected, he didn't care what the treasure of the Twilight Mansion was.

Instead, he asked about Conan's identity, "Who is this kid?"

Kaito Kid first learned about Conan when he accepted Jiang Hang's invitation to rescue Miyano Shiho from the now-destroyed research institute.

At that time, he noticed that Conan was one of the kids participating in the operation.

At that time, he only thought of Conan as Jiang Hang's disciple, and Conan didn't do much during that operation, so he didn't pay much attention Conan the child.

Even later, when investigating Kogoro Mouri in order to better impersonate him, he didn't pay much attention to Conan, simply thinking he was a clever child.

Until last night, if he hadn't put on a camouflage around his neck, he probably would have been directly anesthetized by Conan's Tranquilizer Dart.

Moreover, this kid also demonstrated amazing reasoning abilities last night.

Last night, Kaito Kid only found the answer to the riddle of the Twilight Mansion after Jiang Hang reminded him, but unexpectedly, this kid who looked only six or seven years old also solved the riddle with him at the same time.

Then Conan used the voice-changing device to imitate Kogoro Mouri's voice and made a deduction, and the deduction process was correct.

Having experienced something like this happen to him, Kaito Kid naturally realized that Kogoro Mouri, the recently famous detective, was probably just a figurehead, and that the real detective was the kid who had been hiding behind Kogoro Mouri all along.

Moreover, judging from the kid's behavior just now, it seems that he had already noticed his identity.

Such observation and reasoning abilities would be considered normal for a high school detective in Kaito Kid early teens, but for a first-grader, it's simply unbelievable.

He is asking Jiang Hang now because Jiang Hang is very familiar with this kid, and with Jiang Hang's abilities, he probably already knows about this kid's background.

"This guy is a 'victim' of a drug program at the Black Organization. With your abilities, I'm sure you can easily find out his background." Jiang Hang spread his hands and explained to Kaito Kid.

Jiang Hang doesn't mind selling Conan out of the way, since by the time Conan's true identity is known, the number of people who know it won't be any different Kaito Kid.

After hearing Jiang Hang's words, Kaito Kid nodded thoughtfully. "I see, that sounds quite interesting."

It looks like Conan will be added to his investigation list.

"Your opponents are much more active than mine. I've only met members of that mysterious organization on my side once or twice so far."

Kaito Kid felt that if his opponents were as active as those at the Black Organization, he would probably have already found out his father's true whereabouts.

"Do you need my help?" Jiang Hang smiled at Kaito Kid.

This time, he helped Kaito Kid, or it could be said that he repaid the Kaito Kid had done for him last time.

If Kaito Kid continues to ask him for help, then Jiang Hang can also occasionally ask Kaito Kid for help with things at the art museum.

Seeing the smile on Jiang Hang's face, Kaito Kid's expression turned somewhat strange, as if he had thought of something bad.

"You should deal with that organization first," Kaito Kid said, adjusting his white top hat as he put Conan aside for the time being.

He looked around. "Those police officers should be realizing what's going on here by now, and I should leave."

Chapter 300: Chapter 298: Hopefully, Kaito Kid is alright.

Jiang Hang seemed somewhat disappointed to see that Kaito Kid hadn't fallen for his trick.

After all, his museum has recently encountered a bottleneck in popularity. If he could ride on the coattails of the huge popularity of Kaito Kid, his museum would probably be able to upgrade immediately.

Besides art museums, he wouldn't refuse to ride on the popularity of Kaito Kid if his recently acquired film company and the cinema he's planning to acquire could.

However, it seems that this matter still needs to be addressed gradually.

Thinking of this, he took out another dose of sleeping pills from his person and found himself a comfortable place to sleep.

"Remember to take this sleeping potion after I fall asleep, and remember to clean up all the clues," Jiang Hang reminded Kaito Kid, then held the sleeping potion to his nose and sniffed it hard.

"System, enter the 'Intermediate Forgery' training space." He said this to his system.

Then he yawned and comfortably fell asleep in his seat.

Seeing Jiang Hang's arrogant demeanor, Kaito Kid's lips twitched. In the past few meetings with Jiang Hang, he could be said to have been led by the nose by the other party. Now that Jiang Hang had finally revealed a weakness in front of him, he really wanted to trick Jiang Hang.

In the end, however, Kaito Kid obediently followed Jiang Hang's instructions, cleaned up the traces, and then took the sleeping pills from Jiang Hang's hand.

Of course, as a phantom thief, he couldn't have just taken away one dose of sleeping potion.

In addition, he also smuggled a lot of other drugs that Jiang Hang had concocted himself from Jiang Hang.

Although he didn't yet know the purpose of those medicines, he knew that Jiang Hang was very skilled at preparing medicines, and the things he would carry with him should be of good quality.

If there had been enough time, Kaito Kid would have liked to take apart Jiang Hang's Hidden Blade here to see how it was made; he was quite interested in such gadgets.

After doing all this, Kaito Kid left the helicopter satisfied.

Even though he was surrounded by police officers, he felt as relaxed as if he were at home.

The sleeping potions used by Jiang Hang were all precisely formulated by him.

His physical condition is now far beyond that of ordinary people, and the effects of normal sleeping pills on him will be greatly reduced. In order to ensure that he can wake up at the same time as others, he has deliberately increased the dosage of sleeping pills for himself.

While others only felt the evaporating sedative and fell into a deep sleep, he directly inhaled a powerful wave of sedative at close range.

During this period of sleep, he had mastered the art of forgery, and this skill had also improved his art and painting skills to a basic level.

Even so, he woke up before many others.

When he woke up, several women and Conan, who was still a child, were still asleep.

After waking up from his stupor, Jiang Hang quickly figured out that they were in a small clinic near the Nagano Prefecture Police Station.

Jiang Hang soon realized that all the medicines he had were Kaito Kid.

After discovering this, Jiang Hang's expression became quite interesting.

Since Jiang Hang could set traps in his car, he could naturally also set traps in places where he hid things on his person.

Aside from what he takes out himself, it's not so easy for anyone else to steal anything from him.

If Jiang Hang wasn't mistaken, the Kaito Kid stole the drugs from him should be squatting in some toilet cursing him right now.

As for whether he did it on purpose?

How could that be? Does he look like the kind of person who would betray his partners?

I hope he's alright.

Jiang Hang muttered this to himself.

Then he looked to the side.

Saguru Hakuba had woken up much earlier than him, was now standing by the hospital bed with a solemn expression, looking out the window at the situation.

"You're awake," Saguru Hakuba nodded slightly upon seeing Jiang Hang wake up, and then began to tell Jiang Hang about Kaito Kid.

"The police in Nagano Prefecture are still searching for Kaito Kid, but they estimated that they would not be able to find Kaito Kid. They did not expect that Kaito Kid would escape again this time."

"Detective Mogi seemed to feel ashamed of himself, and left immediately after waking up."

Jiang Hang put on a somewhat regretful expression. "Actually, it was the same when I fought him last time. I had already caught him at the beginning, but he still managed to escape at the last moment."

Upon hearing Jiang Hang's words, Saguru Hakuba carefully observed Jiang Hang's expression.

After a while, he suddenly asked Jiang Hang, "You should have realized by now that this time Kogoro Mouri is actually Kaito Kid in disguise, right? After all, you should be more familiar with Kogoro Mouri."

As expected, none of these famous detectives are easy to mess with.

Jiang Hang had this thought in his mind.

Saguru Hakuba probably has suspicions about him now, or rather, Saguru Hakuba suspects everyone, but his suspicions about him are probably the greatest at the moment.

After all, among all the detectives present, if we exclude Conan before he shrunk, only Saguru Hakuba had ever dealt with Kaito Kid.

But Jiang Hang still managed to control the expression on his face very well.

"Of course, I already knew his identity in the afternoon, but I originally intended to find out what he was up to, which is why I didn't expose him." Jiang Hang said this, speaking from the perspective of Saguru Hakuba.

Even after everything was settled last night, Saguru Hakuba did not reveal the identity of Kaito Kid, perhaps because he wanted to see Kaito Kid would have any other moves.

"I originally planned to make my move on the way back to Tokyo, but it's a pity." He shrugged, clearly expressing his regret.

Saguru Hakuba did not comment on Jiang Hang's explanation, but simply nodded.

"It was my carelessness. If I could use your sleeping potion, it might really be possible to catch Kaito Kid this time."

It seems he was hiding his suspicions.

"Once they all wake up, I'm going to head back. As for the cars left at the Twilight Mansion, they'll be transported back to Tokyo after the repair work on the destroyed bridge is completed."

He shifted the topic to another aspect. "For the past two weeks, the higher-ups at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department have been discussing your case. If nothing unexpected happens, it won't be long after you return to Tokyo that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department will grant you the status of a 'Special Advisor'."
