"Okay, you can leave now." Miss Hei Yu smiled. Maybe she was being a little ironic about my or my brother's code name. After all, Blanco means white tequila.

Unfortunately, my hands are already stained with blood, so they don’t deserve white. Maybe my brother can? His disease…

I adjusted myself immediately.

"Ms. Li An is so beautiful." I raised my voice, emphasized my tone, and pronounced my words more frivolously. "I love magic shows the most. Could you please, Miss Li An, perform one for me?"

Actually, I really want to talk nicely, but there is a Kato outside and I can't let her know some things.

Miss Kuroba was very calm. Maybe she was thinking about how to beat me.

"You should know that I am not under Gin's control—" I saw her lower her eyes and speak in a very low voice, but I only heard the first sentence. I think Miss Kuroba is really interesting.

But then, she whispered something even lower.

I felt dazed for a moment, and when I looked up, nothing seemed to have changed. However, a sense of danger crept up my spine, so I subconsciously ducked to avoid it.

A dagger cut through the wind, passed by my back and over my head, and flew towards Miss Hei Yu.

I looked up at Miss Hei Yu, and just now I saw from the corner of my eye that the dagger seemed to have grazed her arm.

I watched with some concern as Ms. Kuroba covered her arm: “It’s not me.”

I was afraid someone was going to kill me and her. I had offended many people. "Who... is it?"

"Mr. Sugiura, be careful behind you." I heard Miss Kuroba say in a loud voice.

So I turned my head to be on guard, but there was no one behind me.

I felt uneasy.

I heard her say that.

"How was the magic trick?"

Boom! Bang! "Ah—"

I finally know what she relies on. She...she can definitely protect my brother! She can definitely eradicate this organization!

"Wait... ahem... wait, I have something to tell you!" Although I fell to the ground, I still endured the pain and spoke, my voice was octave lower.

She paused. She knew I wanted to say something. "Go ahead."

"Ms. Li An, I...I want you to...protect my brother."

I said it so bluntly that she was stunned.

"My younger brother, he is in the organization, codenamed Blanco. His name is..." I told her a lot of things, not a single word was false.

I heard Miss Hei Yu recite something I didn't understand after listening to a few sentences, and the same trance-like feeling as before appeared. I felt that there was something separating me and Miss Hei Yu. I felt that no matter what I said, no one else would know.

I paused, didn't ask these questions, and continued talking about my things.

"Although I, Ichiro Sugiura, am a good-for-nothing and should have gone to hell, my brother is innocent. I beg Miss Kuriyasu, no, Miss Kuroba, please help me rescue my brother!" I struggled to get into a kneeling position.

She was silent for a while, then nodded: "Okay."

She added: "But you should know that I am also a code member."

"Kaito Kidd, is he your father?"

She stared at him but said nothing.

"I think there won't be an outlier in a Phantom Thief's family. I think Miss Kuroba, who loves children, won't be a cruel person."

"Maybe."

I felt a sense of relief, and I felt like I couldn't get up.

I felt guilty and felt that I had morally blackmailed Miss Heiyu.

But Miss Hei Yu agreed.

"You are such an amazing person." She praised me.

I was very happy and I laughed like a child.

She seemed a little silent, but also smiled.

I was really happy to be praised by my favorite magician.

"Ms. Hei Yu... I probably won't be able to see your performance tomorrow." I thought about it and said, because I also told Miss Li An about my death plan.

In other words, Ms. Kuriyasu knew that there was a girl named Kato Saeko who wanted to kill me.

She knew I might not live to see the end of the show.

I heard her sigh.

She asked, "Do you know Kaoru Sora?"

Kongmu...Kongmu Xun?

"I think I heard it somewhere."

Hearing this, her expression seemed to change, and her smile disappeared for a moment, even more so than when I said Kaito Kid was her father.

"As expected... then that's enough." She said goodbye to me with a smile, "Thank you. Goodbye, Mr. Sugiura."

Her smile is a disguise, I think.

"Your brother...I'll do my best, but I can't promise."

I got a reply.

That's actually enough.

"There is a file in my bedroom computer that was left by Matsui Ryo. I saved a backup and you might find it useful." I finally said to her, "Goodbye."

Farewell.

I felt dazed for a moment, as if the barrier had disappeared.

I saw her figure getting smaller and smaller, and finally she left the alley.

I was still lying on the ground, and after a while I took out my phone: "Kato! Come here quickly, damn it, I was beaten by Kuroba Kurian's friend! I must... I must kill him!"

I saw Kato coming in from the alley, she seemed a little surprised, a little scared and a little happy. I told Kato that I was seriously injured and would not go to the show tomorrow. I would stay at home and asked her not to call me.

This girl didn't know how long I had been protecting her, and I had stopped her from completing some of her tasks.

She had only one mission, to kill me.

Looking into her eyes, I knew she seemed to have a plan.

"Help me back!" I said.

I spent the night peacefully.

I packed up everything, wiped all fingerprints from the house, sat in the living room, and turned on the TV.

In fact, I shouldn't have let Miss Kato kill me, but her hatred was too strong.

So, it is better to let her go to prison, hoping that when she comes out, she can have a new life and no longer be controlled by the organization.

It’s only a three-minute walk, but I can only watch the performance on TV.

Miss Kuroba's halftime performance is over.

My life should end.

Morimoto called me and I answered.

Kato called me, but I didn't answer because I heard her footsteps.

I opened the door and she asked me to get her a glass of water. I turned around to get the water, exposing my back completely to her.

She rushed towards me in her raincoat, and the dagger pierced my back. The rain soaked my clothes, which made the pain worse.

The dagger went deep, probably piercing my lung.

Because I felt that I was having difficulty breathing, my breathing became deeper and faster, and I wanted to get more oxygen.

I staggered and fell to the ground.

She took off her raincoat and gloves and left in a hurry.

I couldn't breathe, no oxygen was getting into my lungs.

Next is Miss Kuroba's final magic show.

I really wanted to get into the living room and watch the last show.

But when I got to the corner cabinet, I ran out of energy and my consciousness was interrupted for a while. It felt like a long time, but it shouldn't have been that long, because there were still commercials playing on the TV and there was still some time before the halftime break.

Two fingers of my right hand hooked on the telephone wire when I was holding on to the wall. I originally wanted to hold on there and rest for a while.

I still have no strength left, my whole body is cold and I am about to lose consciousness.

My vision went dark.

I hope you can protect my brother.

Ms. Kuroba Kuriyasu.

Thinking of this, I wrote down three letters with my left hand, which still had feeling in it.

K, I, D.

“I” was stretched a little too long, probably because I had no strength left.

It would be nice to make this case a little confusing.

I dropped my hands.
