Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 68
"What are you afraid of, just jump down, and someone will come to pick you up."

A flat and indifferent voice suddenly sounded in Kaito's ear, causing him to instinctively jump two meters backwards, almost falling directly into the sea.

Fortunately, this position belongs to the blind spot of the searchlight of the helicopter in the sky, otherwise Kaito's retreat might be discovered immediately.

When he barely suppressed the heart that was about to jump out of his throat, he finally saw the appearance of the person coming with the help of the diffuse light reflected from the deck.

"It's you!!" Seeing the big tengu mask on the visitor's face, Kaito immediately made a defensive posture, and his heartbeat that had just calmed down roared like an engine again.

Seeing Kaito's appearance, Ishino couldn't help shaking his head, and sighed: "Kaito, have you forgotten again? No matter what the situation is, you have to maintain a poker face..."

Maybe it's because Ishino's impression of Kaito mostly stays on the beautified omnipotent Kaito Kidd, so when he sees Kaito react like a frightened little animal, he feels some dislocation .

Think about it carefully, at this point in time, whether it is Kaito or Conan, they are just fledgling Xiaomengxin, not to mention they are still underage high school students, and they can do this far beyond other peers .

Hearing his identity being exposed and the familiar words, Kaito finally mustered up the courage to ask the question that he hadn't had time to ask the last time we met: "Who the hell are you?! How did you know this sentence?!"

Ishino didn't answer Kaito's question, but just took off his mask casually, revealing that cold and handsome face, but his expression at this time was a gentle and harmless one.

Up to now, Ishino has no plan to hide it from the other party. He still has plans to follow up and needs Kaito's assistance. It is imperative to reveal his identity as soon as possible and let the other party join his camp.

What's more, letting Kaito experience two setbacks in the early stage is enough for him to learn a lesson. There is no need to scare him for the third time, too much is too late.

If you really beat this tool man to the ground, you won't be able to explain to your teacher.

"Why are you?!" After a brief shock, Kaito seemed to have figured everything out, and suddenly realized, "So the Kasaka family also knows the truth about Kaitou Kid?"

"That time with the pupil of the moon, and this time, I'm afraid they are all testing me?!" After thinking about this joint, with Kaito's cleverness, based on the fact that the other party didn't really want to catch him , it is not difficult to infer the possible motives of the other party.

Seeing Ishino just smiling and not answering, neither affirming nor denying, Kaidou's face collapsed, and he complained angrily: "You all seem to know everything, is it interesting to hide it from me alone? Careful, bully people!"

Kuaito faced Xiaolan's face-changing face and made a grimace. Seeing that this couldn't change the other person's expression, he had no choice but to restrain his expression, and said seriously: "Well, I already know that I am far from immature, but One day I will beat you!"

"Well, I believe you can, so hurry up and jump, Mr. Terai should be waiting around to pick you up."

Ishino really thinks that with Kaito's talent, if he has enough driving force, it should not be difficult to surpass himself.

It's just that his flat voice reached the other party's ears, and it didn't sound like that. Kaito felt that this was a perfunctory tone to coax children!
Although Kaito felt helpless, he also knew that the police might come after him at any time, so he didn't procrastinate, and when he came to the side of the boat, he asked a question when he was parting: "Um...brother-in-law, do you know the whereabouts of Dad? ? Is he... really dead?"

After receiving the response from the other party who shook his head, Kaito smiled wryly, and said sadly, "Is that so? Then if you know who killed Dad, please tell me!"

"I see, this is for you." Ishino nodded in response to Kaito's request, and at the same time threw the mask in his hand to Kaito.

After catching the mask, Kaito also nodded, and jumped off the side of the ship resolutely. Not long after, he was picked up by Terai Konosuke, who had been driving a small boat far behind the cruise ship, and left in the opposite direction of the cruise ship. .

Seeing that with his little work, Kaito could avoid catching a cold from swimming in the sea at night, Ishino left the deck with satisfaction and returned to the banquet hall.

Seeing Ishino's return, everyone first stepped forward to inquire about Xiaolan's situation. After learning that Xiaolan had woken up, Conan, Mori Kogoro, and Sonoko all heaved a sigh of relief.

Conan asked Ishino if he had seen Kaitou Kidd, and after getting a negative answer, he could only temporarily suppress the resentment in his heart, and went to the infirmary with Mao Li and others to see Xiaolan's situation first.

After watching them leave, Ishino held Xia Mei's hand and asked with a smile, "How are you doing, did you enjoy yourself today?"

"I'm very happy, I have caught Kaitou Kidd! It's a pity that he escaped..." Although she said it was a pity, Xia Mei's face was still full of joy, "Since you said he is not a bad person, and I am If you think so, let him go this time!"

When the Queen Elizabeth cruise ship docked at Tokyo Port, Ishino returned happily with Natsumi, leaving the confused police to continue to clean up the mess.

In the end, although the police found the hang glider that Kaito Kidd had prepared in advance on the top of the ship, Kaito Kidd himself suddenly disappeared from the boat and could not be found at all.

On the other side, Kaito, who was sailing to the coast in a small boat bypassing the patrols at sea, when he saw Konosuke Terai, the first thing he did was to ask him why he was here.

Terai Konosuke looked at his young master with a confused face, saying that it wasn't the young master who left a message for him to sit down and prepare for the response.

Kaito didn't know that there was a high probability that it was Ishino's good deed after hearing the words.However, although the other party hindered his actions, he kindly arranged an escape route for himself without swimming back to Tokyo, which made Kaito really dumbfounded.

After returning home, Kaito originally wanted to call his mother directly and ask if the other party had colluded with Ishino to trick him, but he was still not sure that his mother knew the truth about Kaitou Kidd, so he had to hold back and confess The impulse, I will talk about it later.

……

After Kaito Kidd's theft of the Black Star, the business between the Kasaka family and the Suzuki family has increased significantly, which has significantly improved Natsumi's reputation in many industries of the Kasaka family.

Seeing the steady development of the industry after she took over, Natsumi, who has been under a lot of pressure, finally breathed a sigh of relief, so she and Ishino could enjoy a relaxed life for a while.

Just when Shi Ye felt warm and happy because of the stability during this period, a piece of news in the newspaper foreshadowed that the short and peaceful life was about to say goodbye to him.
