Chapter 104 Conan: Cousin, you've suffered!
When Kaito Kid was caught, Terai Kinosuke's heart nearly skipped a beat.
As Toichi Kuroba's assistant, he travels the world performing magic shows. Although he is 61 years old, his magic skills are certainly not as good as Kaito Kuroba's, but his knowledge and experience are unmatched.
He also knew about the legendary magician.
Although it's unknown which of the four magic schools—black, white, blue, and red—this winged person belongs to, it is definitely extremely dangerous.
As far as he knew, magicians would call magic pseudo-magic and were very hostile to magicians who, in their view, were almost defiling magic.
Fortunately, things didn't get worse. The magician with the child flew towards him along with the phantom thief, Kid.
He, Terai Kinosuke, will definitely protect the young master, even at the cost of his own life, he will not let the young master follow in the footsteps of the master.
A small boat, carrying a weight it could not bear, carried three adults and a child, drifting on the calm sea.
Terai Kinosuke was both skilled and daring; he dared to sail a small boat that was barely safe to float on a park lake onto the open sea.
Any wave could capsize the boat.
The ocean has never been a gentle place.
Folding his wings back, Akutagawa Hiko grasped the hand of Phantom Thief Kid, who was trying to steal the Dark Star back, and laughed, "Alright, Kuroba Kaito, let's have an open and honest talk."
Kaito Kid and Terai Kinosuke's pupils dilated instantly, while Conan looked at Kaito Kid, who was dressed in a white suit, with some curiosity.
Is Kaito Kuroba the real identity of Phantom Thief Kid?
Kaito Kuroba instantly felt relieved. In fact, from the moment that fresh fish was slapped haphazardly across his face that day, he had already foreseen that his disguise would be exposed.
Because this is so targeted, the idea that Phantom Thief Kid is afraid of fish has never been circulated outside.
In reality, not many people know that Kaito Kuroba is afraid of fish; they are mostly people he is very close to.
More than his true identity, Kaito Kuroba was concerned about the wings that had suddenly disappeared from Hiko Akutagawa's back. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem like something that could be folded up like a hang glider.
Seeing that Akutagawa had no objections, Terai Kinosuke proceeded with the original plan, starting the propeller and steering the small boat out of the police's surveillance area. Conan, upon seeing Kuroba Kaito without his disguise, instantly began to question his existence.
Because that face was exactly the same as his before he shrunk, the only difference being his messy hair, which was different from his neatly styled hair.
Conan:
"......"
Dad, do you know Mom's been messing around with your girlfriend?
Yusaku Kudo, far across the ocean, suddenly sneezed, a chill running down his spine.
Fortunately, in order to gain the upper hand in the subsequent negotiations, Akutagawa Hiko leaked a lot of information, clearing Kudo Yusaku's name.
Akutagawa patted Conan on the head and said with a grin, "Come on, let's get acquainted. This is your cousin, Shinichi Kudo."
Kaito Kuroba was so "excited" he almost jumped up: "What the hell? While Shinichi Kudo and I may look alike, don't spread rumors! Besides, this is clearly a child!"
Shinichi Kudo is known as the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era. Kaito Kuroba had naturally seen this in the newspapers and even commented on how Kudo looked exactly like him, though not exactly identical.
Also, a high school detective turning into an elementary school student? What kind of third-rate comic or novel plot is this? No audience would buy it!
Conan was also quite shocked. He originally thought they just looked alike, but he never expected that the Kudo family, who had been law-abiding for generations and dedicated themselves to fighting crime and restoring a peaceful Tokyo, would actually produce two criminals!
Despite the immense success of the Phantom Thief Kid IP and its global fanbase, in the eyes of this righteous detective, he's still a criminal.
The only difference is the degree of severity.
That's right, Conan now completely believes what Akutagawa Hiko said.
Looking at the brothers' expressions, Akutagawa Hiko found it quite amusing: "I didn't lie. If you don't believe me, you can ask this old man next to you. He should also know that Kuroba Toichi and Kudo Yusaku are twin brothers."
Kaito Kuroba looked at Kijin Terai in disbelief, only to see him nod reluctantly.
Akutagawa Hiko then revealed, "Because of their parents' divorce, the older brother, Kuroba Toichi, took his father's surname, while the younger brother, Kudo Yusaku, took his mother's surname. They might still be in contact."
Kaito Kuroba quickly stopped Hiko Akutagawa from continuing, asking rather urgently, "Didn't my father die eight years ago?"
He wasn't saying this to imply excessive filial piety, but in his mind, Kuroba Toichi had indeed been killed by the zoo staff.
Instead of answering directly, Akutagawa asked, "How is your parents' relationship?"
Kaito Kuroba recalled scenes he had seen as a child, and the happy expression on his mother's face during a video call, and rubbed the goosebumps off his body.
No answer is needed. Just look at Kaito Kuroba's behavior, and you can tell that they not only have a very good relationship, but it's even a little cheesy.
"Since you have such a good relationship, can you see any trace of a deceased husband in Miss Kuroba Chikage?"
It's not that Kaito Kuroba isn't smart enough to notice anything amiss; in fact, he's supposed to be an incredibly intelligent being.
When his father faked his death, he was still young. Everyone close to him was certain that his father had died in a magic accident, including his mother, Kuroba Chikage.
Now that he has suddenly learned that Kuroba Toichi is not dead, Kuroba Kaito's feelings are extremely complicated.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to be happy that he was still alive, or angry that he had abandoned his wife and children and faked his death. No, Mom definitely knew that Dad was not dead. So, I'm the only outsider in this family?
Although I rationally knew that I was worried that he was too young to keep the secret, I couldn't help but feel bad because of this deception.
Conan barely managed to process the massive amount of information he had just received, and looked at his cousin, who looked exactly like him, with a touch of sympathy.
Although he has now been turned into an unregistered resident by the Black Organization, the Black Organization has no idea that Shinichi Kudo is still alive.
Besides encountering a lot of cases during my childhood, it was a happy time overall.
Even now, he not only has his parents backing him up, but also the supernatural being Hiko Akutagawa and the tech genius Professor Agasa as his support.
In contrast, Kaito Kuroba not only lost his father, but is now a lone phantom thief stealing jewels, attempting to destroy Pandora, while also facing the equally dangerous zoo.
My dear cousin, you've suffered these past few days. Don't worry, if we join forces, we'll definitely be able to destroy both organizations.
Afterwards, my dad and I will send you to prison for reformation with tears in our eyes!
