Several days later.
Mouri Detective Agency.
"Huh?!"
"Today in Shibuya, you brushed past Shinichi-niichan???"
"How could that be, haha…" Conan looked bewildered.
You met Kudo Shinichi?
Then who am I?
"Ran, did you see him walking with another woman, arm in arm?"
A Repairman walked out of the kitchen, speaking with a smile.
He had come along to help fix the refrigerator.
Now that he had an opportunity to add fuel to the fire, how could he let it go?
Conan turned his doggy head and glared fiercely at Tsuneo.
Be careful, I'll bite you to death!
"I think he's probably had enough of you," Uncle Mouri said, sitting by the window, leisurely drinking beer.
"Maybe, he was indeed walking with a girl." Ran said, sighing, her expression slightly dejected.
"You must have mistaken him for someone else, don't take it to heart!" Seeing the situation was not good, Conan immediately smiled and waved his hand, trying to change the atmosphere.
"Right, Tsuneo?"
The Detective kept winking.
Quick!
Speak, I'll treat you to a meal!
"Ah?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Kudo that kid likes you the most, how could he be walking with other women?" Tsuneo nodded repeatedly.
Ran: …
Conan: …
Both of them blushed simultaneously.
"Seriously, by the way, which Kaito were you asking me to catch earlier?" Uncle Mouri called his daughter's attention back, and asked about the main topic while drinking beer.
"Kaito 1412, Sonoko said he's a master thief who targets artworks and jewels all over the world."
"Neither the FBI nor the CIA have ever caught him, and Interpol is just as helpless against him."
"These people eventually gave him a secret code, 1412."
Ran said, showing a thoughtful expression, "However, Japan seems to have given him another nickname?"
Conan clearly had no interest in this thief, he yawned and said he was going to sleep.
"Kidd."
"Kaito Kid." Tsuneo said, smiling as he looked at Conan.
In a sense, he's your brother, do you really have no impression of him at all?
"Kidd? Cipher?" Uncle Mouri looked puzzled, took the Notice box Ran handed him, and began to read.
"April fool"
"When the moon separates the two, I shall hear the great name of the dark night star, and with the invitation of the waves, go to receive it."
"April fool, this should refer to April 1st, but what do these latter words mean?" Uncle Mouri understood the time.
As soon as Conan heard there was a cipher to solve, he no longer cared if the person was a thief or a murderer, he immediately squeezed into Uncle's arms and looked at the piece of paper.
"Weren't you going to sleep?" Uncle Mouri looked speechlessly at the little brat in his arms.
The Miha Museum gathered a collection of famous gems from all over the world and was about to hold a jewelry exhibition.
The Suzuki decided to display their family heirloom, the dark night star, which brings good fortune, as part of the exhibition.
Kidd's target this time was this black pearl from the Suzuki.
"Why did Sonoko ask Uncle to catch this Kaito 1412?" Conan asked.
Logically, it would be more reliable to entrust such matters to the police, wouldn't it?
It felt like it shouldn't be a Detective's turn to act.
"Sonoko's idea is…" Ran gave a dry laugh and didn't continue.
Conan and Tsuneo exchanged glances.
Sure enough, her infatuation disease acted up again, didn't it?
"Oh, right, Tsuneo, Sonoko said if you're free, you can come along too; she'll treat us to a meal tomorrow." Ran suddenly remembered this detail.
"Of course, I'm free!" Tsuneo agreed readily with a nod.
Conan: Glutton…
…
The next day.
Miha Museum, second-floor exhibition hall.
"It's truly spectacular; it seems all of Tokyo's police force has been mobilized here this time." Uncle Mouri said sincerely, looking at the helicopters and long lines of Police car outside the window.
"He truly lives up to his name as a world-class super Kaito." Ran also exclaimed, seeing such a display.
Conan was still yawning, looking at the Notice box in his hand.
"Can't figure it out?" Tsuneo wasn't wearing his work uniform today, dressed in casual sportswear, looking sunny and cheerful, like a big brother next door.
"He really is a guy who likes to be mysterious." Conan shook his head with a helpless expression.
He had thought about it for most of last night but couldn't figure out what those strange words meant when put together.
"Happy April Fool's Day." Tsuneo suddenly said.
"Huh?" Conan looked puzzled.
"Mouri Detective, welcome!" Just then, a plump middle-aged man in a brown suit walked over and greeted Uncle Mouri warmly.
He was Sonoko's father, Suzuki Shiro.
"Thank you so much for accepting my daughter's request to come here."
"Being able to invite a Detective like you is a tremendous boost for us." Suzuki Shiro said with a beaming smile, shaking hands with Uncle Mouri and praising him.
Tsuneo smiled at the words, then leaned down and whispered to Conan, "See? This President is so polite; don't jinx him."
Conan kicked Tsuneo's shin hard.
Expressing his dissatisfaction with practical action.
Sonoko stood behind Suzuki Shiro and waved to everyone, "Dad, do you remember Tsuneo, whom my sister and I told you about? That's him!"
Suzuki Shiro's eyes lit up, "I've heard so much about you! In that villa, thanks to your help, my two daughters were able to return safely!"
He stepped forward and firmly gripped Tsuneo's arm, looking at this young man with increasing satisfaction.
This head of the Suzuki Group usually loved watching fighting shows; he had heard repeated accounts of Tsuneo's battle with the Bandaged Man and had long wanted to meet him.
"Hello." Tsuneo smiled and nodded, at the same time handing over his business card.
Expanding business, it's something that needs to be done.
By the way, it's past one in the afternoon, when are we going to eat?
Suzuki Shiro glanced at the business card, then put it in his pocket, not showing any strange emotions because the other party was just a Repairman; instead, he discussed Eight Extremities Fist with Tsuneo even more enthusiastically.
…
"Hehe, chatting so happily, don't jinx him." Conan used a move of 'Star Shift' to return Tsuneo's teasing words back to him.
"Do I have skills as formidable as yours?"
In this regard, Tsuneo still admired the Death God Elementary School Student.
"You guy, if I really had that ability, you'd be the first one I'd go after!" Conan squinted at the other party, following behind everyone, preparing to see the dark night star.
Tsuneo: …
Why do I suddenly feel a bit of danger???
Suddenly realized, Chinese New Year is coming, let's make dumplings together tomorrow! Haha.
