Conan: The Second Personality of Kaitou Kidd

Chapter 11 Kuroba Kaito: "???"

Tokyo.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the cuckoo clock chimed sharply.

Kaito Kuroba opened his eyes, his first reaction was to cover his head in the instant pain, he curled up and felt his heart beating violently.

There was a subtle sense of unfamiliarity surging in every joint of his body. He pressed his hands against his violently shaking chest, gritted his back molars, and only had a calm poker face, "Damn it..."

Even though I went to the hospital for a check-up, I am healthy and there are no problems, why do I still have a headache?
After a few seconds of delay, he pressed his chest, managed to get up from the bed, and turned his head to stare at the cuckoo clock on the desk.

The cuckoo clock was placed on its side, and only one side could be seen from the bed, and only the red crystal eye of the bird that popped out could be seen, but the blind eye could not be seen, Kaito Kuroba It was placed like this on purpose before, and now the overall angle of the clock is also placed at a similar angle.

But after looking at it, Kaito Kuroba's eyes froze instantly: the angle is the same, but the position is wrong.

Last night, he remembered that he had placed the cuckoo clock in the middle and outer part of the desk, where it could be easily accessed. Now, the clock was almost close to the window sill, on the innermost side of the desk, at the farthest distance from the bed.

Someone has moved the cuckoo clock.

...Or, it moved quietly by itself.

Frozen on the bed for two seconds, Kuroba Kaito's expression remained unchanged, he lowered his head nonchalantly and complained, "It hurts, it hurts to death."

Then naturally lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

His movements froze for another moment.

Something was wrong, not only the position of the cuckoo clock had changed, but also the bed and his attire, and all the props were gone.

Not only the props on the body, but even some props hidden on the bed are gone.

It was replaced by a knife.

Various knives were hidden in the wrists, elbows, calves, lower back and abdomen of both hands, and there were even soft wires in the wrists and socks.

How can this be.

Kaito Kuroba quickly flipped through the inspection room again, and confirmed that the room was still clean. There were no cameras or monitors installed, and the overall layout had not changed, except for some strange traces left in some subtle places.

For example, there are some more newspapers from the past few days on the desk, and there is also an extra notebook. Some books on the bookshelf have been replaced, and the order of clothes in the closet has also been fine-tuned. Things like maid outfits and sailor suits have been taken down. Stacked in the corner.

Even the shutters left traces of the visitor, who closed the shutters that were open.

During a quick search, the bird on the desk kept calling 'April [-]th' and 'Welcome', and Kaito Kuroba had a moment of doubt about his life: who exactly visited his room and actually helped Close the window?
The most important thing is that when the other party came, he didn't feel anything and didn't hear any movement.

...Could it be that mom came back?

This guess is very convincing, so convincing that Kuroba Kaito turned on the computer while finding the phone from the bedside table to dial.

No one answered the phone.

Emails from the computer were not immediately answered.

When closing the browser's mailbox interface, Kaito Kuroba casually took a look at his browsing history: it was still clean, without any trace.

The advertisement was as annoying as ever. He was recommending boring ghost stories. He glanced at it and turned off the computer. He went to other places in the house and found traces that no one had lived in his parents' room, but in the bathroom...

The bathroom is full of props he has hidden on his body.

Also got a new set of used toiletries and towels.

Half of his original toiletries and towels were put away because he couldn't fit them.

what's the situation?People who move things are too arrogant, right?
Kaito Kuroba continued to doubt his life. He clicked on the props in the bathroom, and found that basically all of them were magic props he carried with him, only some of the things that were conveniently hidden in his sleeves were missing.

While quickly equipping the props, he checked the bathroom again, and found that the temperature of the water heater had been lowered by five degrees, the position of the shower had changed, and the floor drain was clean and just cleaned.

... Who the hell is this person who breaks into other people's homes, explores every corner, and even helps the owner clean up, close the windows, fold clothes, and change clothes in the meantime?

Is it 'fish wife'?

The kind of Japanese-style ghost talk legend that the fish wife who goes out to fish at the host's house, quietly cleans up the housework, washes clothes and cooks, but the food she cooks is a bit uncomfortable.

After thinking about 'fish', Kaito Kuroba immediately jumped out of the bathroom.

He checked the house again and found an important thing: the photo of him and his parents had been withheld.

And, he found the suit that disappeared on him, the fitted sheet that disappeared on the bed: on the balcony.

They hang neatly on the foldable hangers, like a beautiful fish wife shyly wagging her tail to say, 'That's right, you met a fish wife, it's a fish~'.

Kuroba・Weakness is fear of fish・Kaito: "..."

Thank you, thank you, already thinking about how to die.

Suddenly, there was a fluttering sound of birds' wings on the window sill of the living room. Kaito Kuroba leaned against the cabinet where the group photo was placed, and subconsciously turned his head to look over.

He saw a crow fluttering against the window.

It was completely black, its eyes were dark red, the right eye was closed tightly, and there were a few stitches on it, and the left eye was staring straight at him.

The crow opened its mouth, "Gah!"

With only one bark, it suddenly turned its head to look down. The only remaining red eye immediately turned cold, and its barking became sharp and piercing, "Gah!!!"

At the same time, a scream suddenly sounded downstairs, it was Aoko Nakamori's scream.

Kaito Kuroba immediately responded, and quickly walked over to the window sill, "Hello, Qingzi?"

The crow looked up at him, hesitated for a moment, and left with fluttering wings, stopping on a telegraph pole not far away.

The drying rack was next to the window sill, and the clothes were also next to it. Kaito Kuroba only glanced at the crow to confirm its location, and then looked down downstairs.

There were only a few passers-by downstairs, and there was no trace of Aoko Nakamori.

Kuroba Kaito moved his ears and caught the sound of footsteps hurriedly going upstairs. He turned his head and took a look, caught the clothes being dried and the familiar smell of laundry detergent, and immediately moved away from the window at the speed of light.

The footsteps in the corridor became faster and faster, and stopped abruptly at the anti-theft door, followed by heavy knocking on the door, and Aoko Nakamori's voice, "Keep fighting!!!"

The yelling was very urgent, and the tone was very bad, it sounded like he would directly tear Kuroba Kaito at any moment.

Kaito Kuroba's eyelids twitched, and he walked over immediately, "I'm here."

Aoko Nakamori breathed a sigh of relief, and she hurriedly took the key to open the door again, but the door didn't open after a sound of metal clashing, "Are you all right, Kaito? Kaito!"

Kuroba's house didn't have any special anti-theft measures, but probably the industrious "Fish Wife" was more worried about the safety of people living alone. Kuroba Kaito found that there was an anti-theft lock and two or three various tools to get in the door.

"..." He moved those things aside and opened the door, "Qingzi..."

A fist struck with an afterimage.

Kaito Kuroba immediately dodged back and stepped aside, "Wait, wait!"

After entering, Aoko Nakamori only glanced at him briefly to confirm that he was still alive and kicking to avoid the fatal blow, then walked around him and walked into his room.

She took a look with her head, and accurately caught the cuckoo clock that was as quiet as a chicken on the desk, so she laughed happily, "I said why it disappeared, and you really brought it up and took it away, Kaidou."

She raised her fist with a 'smile all over her face', and drove Hei Yu Kuai Dou across the ground.

"You stop for me!"

"Aren't you very brave! Are you very manly!"

"You stop for me!"

"Kuroba Kaito!!!"

Kuroba Kaito: "???"
