"Forget it. We'll ask the security team later. If that doesn't work, we can check the surveillance footage."
Conan did not dwell on that minor earlier mistake. "Let's focus on catching Kid first... But come to think of it, his target this time, the 'Stone of Destiny,' is on Miss Maki Juri's finger, isn't it? Why isn't Kid going to the stage? Why is he heading for the top floor instead?"
Jiang Xia thought for a moment, then raised a hand and pointed toward the rooftop terrace. "Then we'll have to ask him in person—he must be on the rooftop terrace right now. Let's go take a look."
Conan nodded. He had indeed been thinking the same thing. From experience, every time that Phantom Thief Kid made a move, he had to stand at the highest nearby point and face the wind for a while. Otherwise, it was as though his plan of action would be incomplete... Like some kind of strange ritual.
"I'll go out through the South Gate. You look from the north side." After saying that, Conan remembered something and looked warily at Jiang Xia. "Don't go easy on him tonight. We have to catch him—I have something important to ask him!"
Jiang Xia nodded, looking utterly dependable. "If I see him, I'll catch him."
...Of course, whether he could actually catch him was another matter. In any case, he would try.
After all, as Uzo's real boss, he probably should not help Conan pry information about his own Ghost out of Kid.
Besides, Kid himself had a troublesome organization to deal with and did not know much about the Black Organization.
"Uzo doesn't seem famous enough among the Red Side yet." Jiang Xia sighed inwardly. That needs to improve in the future.
