Conan: The Second Personality of Kaitou Kidd

Chapter 64 Yusaku Kudo
Los Angeles.

At three or four in the morning, Kudo Yusaku opened the newspaper of the latest period, and he slowly repeated the words on the other end of the phone, "You lost?"

He turned to the newspaper with the headline [Phantom Thief Kidd], took a few seconds to quickly glance over the key information, and raised his eyebrows with interest, "I found it, it was the news half a month ago .”

Kudo Shinichi's voice came from the phone, "Yes."

"That guy is too cunning." He was a little depressed. "I asked the princess afterward, and she said that Kaito Kidd was indeed outside the window."

"He pretends to be like me!"

"He still pretends to be like you?" Kudo Yusaku repeated, holding up the black tea cup, covering his smile, and asked in a somewhat puzzled tone, "Why?"

Kudo Shinichi thought about this question for more than half a month, ruled out all the impossible, and the rest is the truth.

He vowed: "Because I beat him when I was young!"

"That guy is too vengeful, isn't he just successfully deciphering the code he left behind, and complaining that he, as an adult, intentionally scares children!"

Eight years ago, not long before Kaitou Kidd disappeared, Kudo Shinichi and the white thief met in the school library and accepted the other party's secret challenge.

He successfully solved it: the answer to the riddle is Lan's heart-warming smile... The answer to the riddle is the intoxicating sunset that day!

And from this, Kudo Shinichi judged that the white thief who intentionally frightened the child must be a friend of his father.

If it weren't for Yusaku Kudo's friend, he wouldn't be so deliberately scaring the child, and tried his best to grasp the progress of his cracking the code, so that he could climb to the best viewing point when it is the most suitable time to watch the sunset, and quietly appreciate the order of the day. An unforgettable sunset.

Calculated in this way, one win and one loss add up to a tie, and rounding up means that there is no loss at all this time!

"Yes, you successfully deciphered the code," Kudo Yusaku said with a slow smile, and added, "So, he took revenge and disguised himself as a fool."

Yes, although I didn't want to do the puzzle given by Kaito Kidd at all, although Kudo Shinichi was misled by the secret code, he managed to arrive at the most suitable time and watched a beautiful sunset, how can it be counted as' Successfully cracked the password'?

Regardless of whether the real appearance is the same or not, how can it not be considered disguised if only considering the question of "Is Kaito Kidd's face the same as Kudo Shinichi's?"

Indeed, "Kudo Shinichi broke the secret code" and "Phantom Thief Kidd's vengeance, eight years later, he is still brooding, and he disguised himself as Kudo Shinichi in action" are both very accurate.

Yusaku Kudo smiled.

Kudo Shinichi: "..."

When I reasoned, I always felt confident, but when I heard the summary, it seemed a bit outrageous.

Coupled with Kudo Yusaku's obvious "You are stupid, but I won't tell you" smile without saying anything about his biological father status, he became vigilant, "Is there something wrong?"

"That's right," Yusaku Kudo smiled, "I just want to say that that guy didn't win by force, and you didn't deserve to lose this time."

Two against one is too victorious.

He even saw his true appearance, but mistakenly thought it was a grudge and disguised appearance, and he really deserved the loss.

"You mean, he returned the pupil of the moon, stopped the murder, and didn't steal the princess's treasure?" He easily diverted Kudo Shinichi's attention, and his tone became ponderous, "It's a bit strange."

"Have you solved the half murder case he left behind?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Kudo Shinichi's unwillingness to admit defeat became flat, "Cracked."

"That half of the murder case was very simple. Mr. Inoue explained it himself. He said that he planned to surrender himself after the incident."

Or commit suicide and let that college student magician be punished for killing his father.

Saburo Inoue intends to decide on these two choices based on the final sentencing results.

"but……"

"Mr. Magician," Kudo Shinichi said briefly, "died in the hospital."

The murderer is a college student magician.

They should have cooperated with the police to investigate the case and investigate Mr. Inoue's gnashing of teeth, but they were all "excessively frightened" and were directly admitted to the hospital for recuperation, refusing to cooperate with the police investigation.

In this regard, Kudo Shinichi is quite indifferent, anyway, there are files.

He read the details of the case file, went to the scene to investigate, and finally classified the incident as an 'intentional murder', and the murderer was the old magician.

The police immediately went to the hospital to arrest the elderly magician according to procedures, but when they opened the door and entered, they only saw his body lying on the bed, and judged that he committed suicide by taking medicine.

It took Kudo Shinichi half an hour to correct the police's judgment as an 'intentional murder' and to determine that the murderer was a college student magician.

This series of interlocking cases is really indescribable, Kudo Shinichi is a little complicated.

"Going deeper on the road of 'detective', you will always encounter more and more unspeakable cases," Yusaku Kudo said, "Cases are not just cases, but also the intertwining of human nature."

He said narrowly: "For example, your impression of Kaitou Kidd now is probably not the polarized impression that the public has of Kaitou Kidd."

For Kaito Kidd, half of the people tend to think that he is a thief, and they are more disgusted with him, such as the police.Another group of people, because he is too chic and handsome every time he acts, compared with the police, they are simply clumsy bears, so they like, love, and worship him.

Kudo Shin doesn't know anything, but his impression of Kaitou Kidd is "that ridiculous guy who scares even children" and "he can escape quietly, but he insists on staying on the rooftop to wait for him. Hey, a wicked guy who runs away in an instant'.

And, 'The guy who dies without showing off'.

"Ahaha," he laughed dryly, and muttered again, "Isn't it a coincidence that you lost contact this time? The Kaitou Kidd just appeared, and you just lost contact."

"Couldn't it be discussed in advance?"

Kudo Shinichi was a little suspicious.

The main thing is to think about it carefully, "When my son was stunned by the first time he solved the case, he decisively reached out to buckle a setback" seems to be something that Yusaku Kudo can do. Get used to it.

Kudo Yusaku denied, "Of course not, I often lose contact, but you basically don't contact me, so you didn't find out."

He heard the sound of high-heeled shoes and the sound of pushing the door approaching from a distance, and looked sideways.

A bundle of curly hair protruded from the crack of the door, and it poked its head for a while, before the range of hair that was exposed widened. Yukiko Kudo poked her head through the crack of the door, and met Yusaku Kudo's eyes.

Holding a stack of letters, she looked at Yusaku Kudo's cell phone with bright eyes, and made several gestures with one hand: Is it Shinichi?Is my dear son thinking of a beautiful, generous, cute and smart mommy? !
Yusaku Kudo nodded silently.

He said a few more words as if nothing had happened, stabilized Kudo Shinichi, handed her the phone when Kudo Yukiko sneaked over cheerfully, and took the letter in her hand.

Kudo Yukiko immediately scared her son, "Wow! Shinichi! It's Mommy..."

"……Hey?"

She took down the phone suspiciously and looked, "Hey, why did you hang up? Did I accidentally press the wrong button?"

Yusaku Kudo flipped through the letters, his eyes stopped on a letter, and he raised his eyebrows, "A letter from the editor?"
