Conan: The Second Personality of Kaitou Kidd

Chapter 427 Accident

Neon ghost movie in progress.

Each time, Kuroba Kaito's voice was calm and unchanged, as if the same tape was being played over and over again.

Nakamori Aoko and Koizumi Akako stared silently at the closed door, like two rabbits with their ears raised, just watching silently, and as they watched, they clasped their hands together, their fingers tightly clenched.

Every bit of effort seemed to say 'Your childhood friend! ' and 'Your classmate! '.

After a long time, when the doorbell stopped ringing, Koizumi Hongzi whispered, "I'm honest now, please let me go."

She was about to break down: Baishui was scary, and she was so obedient!
But why are there horror movie elements around Baishui?
She felt that the door would be broken open in the next second, and then a woman in a white dress with disheveled hair would climb up quickly with a strange smile and appear in her face.

"The doorbell stopped ringing. Could he have gone to the window?"

This is how horror movies are played!

Nakamori Aoko's brows were furrowed the whole time. She looked at the door that had quieted down and whispered, "How strange."

"…He's too obvious."

If the person outside the door was Kaito Crow, it would be too obvious. It would be almost equivalent to directly saying that he was not Kuroba Kaito, but an enemy disguised as Kuroba Kaito.

It was so obvious that even the two of them couldn't be fooled.

Is the Kaito Crow too stupid? No, wouldn't that mean that even the Tokyo police were shot?

So why?
"Maybe," just like Nakamori Aoko a moment ago, Koizumi Hongzi racked her brains for a moment and said tentatively, "Just want us to know, to scare us?"

Just like Baishui not long ago, she firmly believed that the guy was deliberately trying to intimidate her.

As soon as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang again.

This time only the first sound was heard, and before it lasted even a second, it stopped abruptly.

Nakamori Aoko and Koizumi Akako both tensed up and stared at the closed door.

Even though the door didn't make any more noises, the backs of their necks felt colder and colder, and they had a bad feeling that they were in a horror movie: the noises were gone so suddenly, wouldn't it be like in a horror movie, where they thought the thing outside the door had left and smiled at each other, only to find that the other person had already come in? !
So while staring at the door like an owl, Nakamori Aoko also felt a chill on her back and glanced behind her.

There is a window behind me.

The window was equipped with white blinds, which were now open. Glancing over with her peripheral vision, she could faintly see the night sky cut into strips by the blades.

The night was dark, slightly brightened by the neon lights of the city.

Suddenly, the bright color flashed, as if it was blocked for a moment by something moving at high speed.

Nakamori Aoko's nerves were tense. She almost immediately grabbed Koizumi Hongzi's arm and looked over. She almost jumped up on the sofa, "Out the window!"

"There's something outside the window!"

Before she could speak again, the window blinds collided with something sharp, making a distinct "click" sound.

Afterwards, the specially modified louver fan changed. A black beak appeared in the gap, and then the gap became larger and larger.

Finally, under the gaze of Nakamori Aoko and Koizumi Akako, a pitch-black creature crawled in in a panic.

It's a crow.

It drilled in very smoothly, and it looked like it had drilled in frequently. It was already familiar with the place, treating the window as a cat door or a dog door, and tried very hard to maintain a very high self-management ability in front of its owner who didn't know it. However, when this black bird drilled in, it looked like a puddle of black mud, with its eyebrows lowered and its eyes lowered, not even looking at the people in the living room. It just flapped its wings a few times after it drilled in, and landed lightly on the coffee table without making much noise, then folded its wings and began to stare at the table, pretending to be a fake bird.

This is……

Nakamori Aoko had a vague premonition.

What confirmed her hunch was the sound of the key turning the door.

There were no sounds of footsteps, and the door was quiet as if no one was walking outside, but the sound of a key opening the door suddenly rang out.

Then the door opened.

Bai Shui stood outside the door, pushing it with one hand and holding a pink box with the other. He looked down at the ground, wondering if he had noticed anything unusual. After a few seconds, he looked up, fixed his eyes on the inside of the door, and then raised the box, "Good evening, I brought dessert."

"……somebody is coming?"

The reason why he fixed his gaze on them was simple: Nakamori Aoko and Koizumi Akako were hugging each other in obvious shock, and looking at him obediently, like two trembling little animals, with their eyes a little straight.

The reason why Nakamori Aoko and Koizumi Akako's eyes were wide open was very simple: Shiraishi, Shiraishi, angry Shiraishi!
Baishui rarely gets angry.

...Of course, being angry at Kuroba Kaito is an exception.

Kuroba Kaito can always easily provoke Shiraishi's emotions, as if he has lit up his innate skill of provocation.

But if Baishui's usual anger value is around 2 and 3, now it is 5.

And: he was a bit dishevelled.

He was not wearing a thief suit, but student-style casual clothes, with a baseball cap on his head, exactly the same as when he went out. The difference was that his knees had hit something, leaving dust, and there were traces of dust that were not wiped clean after being patted. There was a trace of blue near his jaw that was not covered by the baseball cap, which clearly outlined his jawline, and there was a yellow band-aid on the bridge of his nose.

No need to say more, just a simple glance, Nakamori Aoko seemed to have seen what happened: a punch to the face with the left hand, a punch to the leg with the right hand... Wait, it seems that these two injuries did not seem to be caused by himself...

She immediately became alert and first glanced at the obvious fear and admiration on Koizumi Hongzi's face. It almost looked like "Hey, you want to take revenge on yourself after beating yourself up, is that true?" She reluctantly said, "Haha, you're back."

"Someone just came over and told me to open the door in Kaito's voice, but it was the same sentence all the time, like a recording... Hongzi and I guessed it was Crow."

While answering, Nakamori Aoko patted Koizumi Hongzi who had huddled behind her, reached out to take the pink dessert box, and added her thoughts: "But we all felt it was very strange. That person pretending to be you was too obvious. We almost found the suspicious points easily."

"And if it's a crow,"

At this point, she paused for a moment, looked at Bai Shui's expressionless face as always, and then continued, "It seems that we are too late in time, right?"

"We have to act on the hour and knock on the door, unless..."

Unless two people act separately.

This is a dangerous topic. What is dangerous is not the topic itself, but a point implicitly mentioned in the topic: the actions of the Phantom Thief Crow.

The news is still on...

"Yeah," Bai Shui closed the door and first glanced at Koizumi Hongzi, who was following closely, grabbing the corner of Nakamori Aoko's clothes, without adding another burden to the dessert box, "It's a crow."

After a pause, he casually took the initiative to explain: "Kaito accidentally crashed the plane."

"Well, accidentally."
