Conan: The Second Personality of Kaitou Kidd

Chapter 426 Qingzi?

The world seemed to be silent in an instant. Only the cold wind whistled past, making the dead air deafening. Only the television, which didn't know whether it was alive or dead, continued to make noises.

The Kuroba household seemed to have turned on the air conditioner, and it was as if they had suddenly arrived in the cold winter. Nakamori Aoko and Koizumi Akako sat stiffly on the sofa, motionless, like passers-by who had fallen into a cold ice peak.

The silence echoes.

A dead silence echoed.

There were clearly two people there, but there was not even a sound of breathing in the living room until nearly twenty seconds later, when Nakamori Aoko took a slow, gentle breath.

She stared at the strange-looking Nakamori Ginzo on TV, and for a moment, she could only let out a wail that came out of her throat, "... Dad..."

1. Have a pleasant journey.

Woohoo.

"I'm sorry," Koizumi Hongzi finally dared to speak. The way she looked at Nakamori Ginzo was completely different from before. She looked at him with the eyes of a warrior. "I no longer secretly think that this Inspector Nakamori is not as smart as me."

She stood in awe, "He's a warrior!"

Dying warrior.

The Kuroba family was quiet, but Tokyo was bustling.

From the moment the fatal sound came from the TV and from the moment they all became quiet, the whole of Tokyo became lively. All kinds of onlookers' voices, cheers, and wailing gathered into a buzzing sound above Tokyo.

Just by listening to the buzzing sounds, Koizumi Hongzi seemed to see the miserable future of Kaito Crow and Nakamori Ginzo.

How dare he?
Thinking about Baishui's possible expression now, she shook her shoulders unconsciously, and felt a chill on the back of her neck. Baishui's presence was also increasing crazily, as if she could see him as long as she turned around, and get his cold face and ask, "What do you mean by being so quiet?"

As for their answers, they may not only be answers, but also their last words.

"…It doesn't matter," Nakamori Aoko said in a weak and lucky voice, "If it's not Kaito who's taking action, then 'Miss Kid' is talking about him, right?"

Who is Miss Kidd is a very interesting question.

Kuroba Kaito didn't mind. As long as it was a compliment, whether it was 'Wow, Kaito Kid, so handsome! I want to marry you!' or 'Wow, Miss Kid, so beautiful, my wife!', he could accept it without changing his expression. Even if it was a negative evaluation or unfriendly insult, he could remain calm.

After all, he is a 'normal' high school student who has different types of women's clothing in his wardrobe and is proficient in makeup.

But white water is generally not accepted.

So even if he didn't care, Kuroba Kaito was very happy to push the identity of 'Miss Kid' over.

Based on this, generally speaking, whoever takes action is Kaito Kid, and the other will be forced to become Miss Kid.

Nakamori Aoko sincerely hoped that Kuroba Kaito was not online.

If he was teased, he would at most roll his eyes, complain, and remember the grudge, but if it was Baishui...

But Baishui is not the kind of person who would leave a malicious comment like 'The police are too incompetent, the crows are too slippery, and only the beautiful beauty is admiring the beautiful diamond alone'.

and so……

At the same time, Nakamori Aoko and Koizumi Akako took a deep breath again. They turned their heads and looked at each other, unable to speak for a moment.

But Tokyo was still bustling. Faint noises came from the neighbors. It sounded as if the hostess couldn't believe that Miss Kid had accepted the pursuit of another man. So she became angry and turned evil towards the thief Crow, who was good at hiding his head and showing his tail. She scolded him fiercely, saying that if he was caught by the police, Miss Kid would still be a widow and would be very sad.

The male owner took a more moderate and indifferent attitude, thinking that as long as the thief Crow died, Miss Kidd would not have to be depressed because of her husband's tears behind bars.

Amid the faint sound of quarreling, Nakamori Aoko slowly said: "Actually, something suddenly happened to me..."

Koizumi Hongzi also said: "I need to go home..."

"It's not because of anything else," Nakamori Aoko said again, "it's really something..."

"It's urgent," Koizumi Hongzi said, "We need to leave the Kuroba family immediately..."

Before Kuroba Kaito and Shiramizu returned to the Kuroba family and the fight spread to innocent people.

The four looked at each other for a moment, and after they all forced a smile, Nakamori Aoko stopped joking. She sat up straight, looked at the TV again, and caught a key point: "But, the Kaito Crow said 'get another kiss'?"

'Again'?
Even someone like Kuroba Kaito who didn't care wouldn't kiss a man. Such outrageous words were ignored by them at the beginning. Koizumi Hongzi thought, "There's no need to say such things, right? It will only anger them..."

"Perhaps," Nakamori Aoko frowned, "his purpose is to provoke..."

Halfway through her speech, she was interrupted by the doorbell.

It was the doorbell of the Kuroba family.

In sync again, Nakamori Aoko and Koizumi Akako immediately fell silent and turned to look at the tightly closed door.

The faint sound of the doorbell echoed in the living room where only the TV could be heard, like the life-threatening phone call of Miss Sadako, making the innocent people afraid to move.

The doorbell rang only once, lasted about three seconds, and then stopped, which meant that the person on the other side only pressed it once, probably thinking that pressing it once would be enough.

But no one opened the door for a long time.

Koizumi Hongzi looked at her ears and nose, and whispered, "Go open the door, Qingzi!"

"You should come," Nakamori Aoko also said, "Hongzi."

"Your boyfriend." Koizumi Hongzi reminded.

"No," Nakamori Aoko quickly denied, "We are not yet boyfriend and girlfriend!"

She silently moved her gaze to the corner of the wall, trying not to blush, and whispered a reminder, "Your classmate."

Koizumi Hongzi was anxious, "Your childhood sweetheart!"

During the argument, the doorbell rang again, echoing softly in the living room, as clear and ethereal as the sound of Miss Sadako crawling out.

After the ringing ended, it was Kuroba Kaito's voice, he called softly: "Aoko? It's me."

Nakamori Aoko and Koizumi Akako immediately quieted down again, watching their ears and noses and their noses and hearts as if nothing had happened.

The former was wailing in his heart about why it was Kuroba Kaito who was online, while the latter was happily reminding him, "I'm calling you, Aoko."

She seemed to have thrown out a Master Ball, with a happy smile on her face, "Go!"

It’s decided to be you, Nakamori Aoko!
"..." Nakamori Aoko stood up reluctantly and reasoned in a low voice, "Kaito sounds very calm, not miserable at all, which means..."

As she spoke, her voice began to hesitate, and finally stopped completely, and her self-consolation turned into questioning, "...Why is Kaito so calm?"

Shouldn't it?

Even if it was Shiraishi who was online just now and Miss Kid was actually Kuroba Kaito, he should have pretended to be angry for a few moments and coaxed her, right?
Even if they have already solved it, Kuroba Kaito should be happy that he succeeded in deceiving others, or depressed because of the nonsense that Shiramizu was Miss Kid who was being punished. Why is he so calm, as if nothing happened?
Nakamori Aoko and Koizumi Akako looked at each other.

A few seconds later, the doorbell rang again, and behind the ethereal ring was Kuroba Kaito's voice, "Aoko? It's me."

Still very peaceful.

The voice was as calm as the last time, not only the tone but also the pauses were consistent.

Nakamori Aoko sat back down, still staring at the door as before, but her face was no longer the crying expression that seemed more like a joke, but a serious one. She pursed her lips several times before whispering, "Outside the door, yes, yes..."

Is it the Phantom Thief Crow?
Anyway, it’s most likely not Kuroba Kaito and Shiramizu…

Koizumi Hongzi touched the back of her neck, turned her head seriously, and looked out the window. When she found that there was only the night sky and the neon city outside the window, without a single flying bird, her face tightened, "It's not them."

She stated her reasoning, "There is no dog crow outside the window. If it was them, seeing that we were slow to open the door and let its owner in, it would definitely fly out of the window in anger."

The doorbell rang again, this time very urgently. The person outside the door no longer pressed the doorbell just once, but pressed it two or three times in a row. The doorbell rang rapidly one after another.

Then it was Kuroba Kaito's voice again, "Aoko?"

"Qingzi?"

"Qingzi?"
