The Split-Actress in Conan's World

Shibuya.

A busy commercial street.

"Phantom Thief 1412?"

Mao Lilan held an umbrella and pronounced the name in confusion.

"Yes, young girls nowadays are obsessed with that Phantom Thief. How come you, as the daughter of a detective, don't know about him?"

Next to Mouri Ran, Suzuki Sonoko was also holding an umbrella and exclaimed in surprise.

Mao Lilan complained: "Please, I'm not the one who likes to solve cases."

She squeezed out a pair of dead fish eyes, and when she saw the light turned green, she crossed the zebra crossing and said, "Then what? Do you want my dad to catch the thief?"

"Yes," Suzuki Sonoko said excitedly, "Do you know that there is a world-famous jewelry exhibition at the Beika Museum?"

"My family is going to provide a pearl called 'Dark Star' that can bring good luck. Your father is so famous now, he will definitely be able to protect it."

"And I also want to see the showdown between Kidd-sama and the famous detective!"

She clasped her hands in front of her chest in ecstasy and almost dropped the umbrella handle.

"But even if my father doesn't show up, we can still call the police, right?" Mao Lilan was puzzled.

Suzuki Sonoko waved her hands and said in a sad tone: "If the police catch him, they will definitely send him to prison. Only when the detective catches him can I see his true face."

"true colors?"

"Because he is a world-famous thief," Suzuki Sonoko began to imagine, "Don't you want to know what he looks like?"

"I think he must be a very stylish and handsome uncle!"

Mao Lilan laughed dryly: "Probably..."

She suddenly saw a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

"Shinichi?!"

Suzuki Sonoko was still muttering to herself nearby, so she immediately ignored her umbrella and rushed across the road.

The traffic light just changed color and vehicles on both sides began to flow.

Suzuki Sonoko's face changed, and she quickly pulled Mouri Ran, preventing her from crossing the road.

“This is a red light!”

Mao Lilan was stunned and murmured: "But I saw Shinichi there..."

Ah Qiu——

Kuroba Kaito sneezed violently, wiped his nose, and looked a little listless.

Is Inspector Nakamori thinking about him behind his back again?

"Kaito, are you catching a cold?"

Nakamori Aoko looked at him with some worry in her eyes, and couldn't help but move the umbrella in her hand towards him to prevent him from getting wet in the rain.

Kuroba Kaito came to his senses and saw a few drops of rain falling on Nakamori Aoko's shoulders. He reached out and grasped the handle of the umbrella, stopping her movements and covering her body tightly.

"No, hold the umbrella! If you keep going like this, you'll be the one who catches a cold, right?"

"Aoko is much stronger than Kaito and won't get sick easily."

She touched her hair in dissatisfaction.

Kuroba Kaito laughed and said, "It's because idiots don't catch colds."

Nakamori Aoko flicked his forehead hard.

"Ah! It hurts, it hurts..."

The two walked to a family restaurant, folded their umbrellas and placed them outside the door, then went in and sat down.

"Dad sent me a text message saying he has work to do in the evening and won't be home for dinner, so let's just eat outside."

Kuroba Kaito responded and picked up the menu to look at it.

Aoko Nakamori went to the bathroom.

After ordering some simple food, Kuroba Kaito leaned on the table and started to daydream.

He remembered that yesterday, Koizumi Hongzi mysteriously pulled him to a corner of the teaching building.

There is a newly built office there.

Only then did he know that the school had the position of "psychological counselor".

Under Koizumi Hongzi's persuasion, he filled out two questionnaires.

"Since your condition is relatively stable, Kuroba-san, and there is no problem with my cognitive ability, I will fulfill my obligation to inform you."

The professor named Lecter looked over his questionnaire slowly and then spoke in a bland tone.

He reached out and adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses: "According to my judgment, you may suffer from mild depersonalization disorder."

When Kuroba Kaito heard this, he was confused for a moment, then he looked back at Koizumi Akane suspiciously, thinking that this evil witch lady was playing a trick on him again.

But when he learned about Professor Lecter's resume and expertise, he was stunned.

Am I...sick in the brain?

"That's impossible. Could it be a misjudgment?"

He forced a smile.

After being questioned, Professor Lecter continued calmly: "In layman's terms, depersonalization disorder is a psychological disorder characterized by persistent or repeated feelings that one's mental processes or body are separated."

He held up a pen and broke it in half in front of Kuroba Kaito.

“The most common type of doubt about oneself or an object, such as ‘I am not me’ or ‘I do not exist’.”

“Just like this pen, one part of you is hugely separated from another part, but they both belong to you.”

"When depersonalization disorder is severe, it can cause delusions and avoidance, but your situation is not that bad."

Professor Lecter encouraged him a little, which made him feel much better.

But the next sentence made him nervous again.

"Since your guardian is abroad and cannot provide good auxiliary treatment, I will inform your neighbor, Mr. Ginzo Nakamori, of the diagnosis results."

The soul of Kuroba Kaito is surging.

If the inspector knows, it means Aoko knows. If Aoko knows...

He imagined that Nakamori Aoko looked at him every day with the kind of caring eyes that loved a mentally retarded child, radiating the radiance of motherhood in every detail...

"No, absolutely not!"

Aoko must not be allowed to know about this!

Professor Lecter was disturbed by his sudden shout, raised his head, and then continued to write the diagnosis certificate.

But as soon as he lowered his head, he found that something was wrong with his hand.

I don't know when the pen turned into a rose.

He calmly put down the rose and took out a new pen from the pen holder beside him.

When I looked back, I found that the diagnosis certificate in front of me had turned into a pile of playing cards.

Kuroba Kaito bared his big white teeth and looked at him with an innocent look on his face.

"Well, it seems that you are more resistant. Then I think it should be enough to have Koizumi-san watching."

Professor Lecter finally gave up on notifying the family, which made Kuroba Kaito breathe a sigh of relief.

Later, the professor gave Hongzi some instructions, but he didn't listen.

When Kuroba Kaito came to his senses, Nakamori Aoko had returned from the bathroom and was sitting opposite him happily humming a little tune.

She swiped her phone and poked at the screen angrily: "Ah, the damn Kaito Kid is going to steal things again!"

Kuroba Kaito felt dazed as he looked at her angry kitten-like expression.

Who is Kaito Kidd?

Who is Kuroba Kaito?

Who is he in the end as he shuttles between two identities?

......

March 3st, Rice Flower Museum.

buzzing-

Several helicopters hovered over the museum, blocking the air tightly and making noisy propeller noises.

Countless media reporters gathered outside the museum, busy as hell, preparing to capture the big news as soon as possible.

“What a big event!”

Kogoro Mori couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.

Conan yawned. He stayed up very late yesterday studying the preview letter of Kaito Kid and was not very energetic now.

"Isn't this Mr. Maori? Long time no see."

A familiar cold voice came from behind him. Conan recognized the person and turned around to look at him with a pair of dead fish eyes.

Rin Chihaba was wearing a black and white casual outfit and walked over holding a top hat like the one worn by Kaito Kid.

"It's Rin-chan..."

Uncle Maori narrowed his eyes.

"Mr. Rin, are you here because you heard about Kaito Kidd?" asked Ran Mouri curiously.

Rin Shakuha nodded: "After all, he is very popular, and there is a character very similar to him in Mr. Kudo Yusaku's novel, so I came here to watch."

He put his top hat on top of his head. “His merchandise is selling very well.”

"Ah, Mr. Maori, you're most welcome!"

Shiro Suzuki, the chairman of the Suzuki Group, came out with a smile, followed by the fashionably dressed Sonoko Suzuki.

"Thank you so much for accepting my daughter's invitation. With the help of you, the great detective, we are more powerful!" He said this sincerely, with almost no politeness.

"Haha, he's just a small thief. I will definitely bring him to justice easily!" Kogoro Mouri scratched the back of his head with a stern look on his face.

Suzuki Shiro nodded in agreement, and suddenly noticed Rin Shakuha standing beside him. He recognized her and greeted her in a familiar tone, "Isn't this Shakuha? She hasn't come to visit Sonoko for a while, and she's been missing you every day!"

When Suzuki Sonoko heard his words, she jumped out from behind him, looked around with her big eyes, and sure enough, she saw the figure of Rin Shakuha.

"It's really you, Shakuha-nii!"

Mao Lilan was puzzled: "Could it be that Sonoko and Mr. Rin know each other?"

Yuanzi slid behind Lin Chiyu, put her hands on his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Of course, Chiyu brother has been playing with me since I was a child!"

Rinshakuha greeted Suzuki Shiro and let Suzuki Sonoko hang behind him: "Hello, Uncle Shiro, I was too busy for a while and didn't have time to visit you. It's my fault."

Suzuki Sonoko quickly let go of Rinshakuha and ran to Mouri Ran.

"Sonoko, how do you know Mr. Rin?"

Conan also wanted to know this question, and he looked over with his big eyes blinking.

"Because Shakuha-san's father is a consultant in my house," she explained the two people's confusion, "My second uncle, Jijiro, is in charge of Tokyo, and uncle Rin Kumei is developing in Kyoto."

"Uncle Lin was very ambitious when he was young. He was always busy with the affairs of the consortium and had little time to accompany Brother Chiba. So my father let Brother Chiba live at home, and we have lived together ever since we were young."

She leaned close to Xiaolan's ear and boasted, "I'll tell you in secret, Chiyu can also fly a plane!"

"We secretly took our private jet out for a spin before, it was so exciting!"

The Suzuki family is really generous.

Conan couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

Suzuki Sonoko was a little discouraged. "But when he turned 18, Shakuba moved out to live on his own. Uncle Rin was very strict with him and didn't give him any living expenses. He was also very stubborn. He didn't touch the money in the bank card that my dad stuffed into his pocket."

"He finished college outside, and I don't know whether he is doing well."

Rin Shakuha was having a pleasant conversation with Suzuki Shiro, when suddenly, as if inspired, he glanced in their direction.

Suzuki Sonoko acted cute in a pitiful way.

Lin Chiyu blinked quietly.

The time for greeting was almost over, so Shiro Suzuki took them to visit the world's largest black pearl - the "Dark Star".

"After my grandfather bought this pearl, our Suzuki family has been on a smooth sailing and has been on a fast track to success..." He looked at the black star on the glass display stand with a sigh.

"He can be called the guardian of the Suzuki family."

This is a lie.

The prosperity of the Suzuki family has nothing to do with this pearl. It is purely because the Suzuki Group has enough talents and makes strong decisions.

Maori Kogoro looked at the security guards standing guard around him and said, "But the security is really tight. Wasn't it just the day before?"

Suzuki Shiro agreed, "Indeed, the only thing that can be understood on the notice is the date, so the police will be stationed here tonight as well."

"Because Kaito Kidd may sneak in at any time."

Conan touched his chin and opened the photo of the preview letter taken on his mobile phone.

April fool

When the moon separates the two

Adhering to the name of the dark star

Invited on the waves

I will arrive as promised

At the end, there is a classic sketch of Kaito Kid.

"He said it was an April Fool's joke." Rin Shakuha appeared from behind him out of nowhere, and Conan almost jumped up. After seeing his appearance clearly, he was speechless again.

This guy is still so sinister.

Although some of Rin Shakuha's actions were suspicious, Conan was not so wary of him. After all, Suzuki Sonoko guaranteed that he knew him well and was unlikely to be a lawbreaker.

"Brother Lin thinks so too?"

Conan asked in a childish and cute tone.

Lin Chiyu's face turned green.

Conan smiled awkwardly. Even though he thought it was disgusting, that was just what one did when one wanted to act like a child.

Back to the preview letter, he spent a long time yesterday figuring out the time and place of Kaito Kidd's appearance, but the only question is, will Kaito Kidd really show up as promised?

He hinted at the beginning that this was an April Fool's joke.

"I think so, but I don't think it's useful. I'm not Kaito Kidd."

Rinshakuha said this quietly, leaving Conan standing there as the victim.

Saying it is the same as not saying it.

Conan looked at him resentfully.

"Kaito Kid must be planning to sneak in from the Tiwujin River that flows by the museum!" Chaki Shintaro of the Second Investigation Division commanded very enthusiastically, "Send more police to guard that area!"

"Timu Tsukawa?" Shiro Suzuki ran to see the police's garrison strength, and heard this word as soon as he arrived.

"That's right. The letter said 'invited on the waves'. Only the nearby Tiwujin River is related to the waves."

Chaki Shintaro was very sure.

"Puchi--hahahaha!" Kogoro Mouri's mouth puffed up and he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Chaki Shintaro looked at the guy who laughed at him and felt that he looked familiar: "Are you Mori from the previous Section 1?"

Kogoro Maori laughed enough and calmed his stomach.

"You are very naive, Your Excellency."

"Don't you know? Waves mean the sea, and stars mean stars, which means..."

He showed a perverted expression: "Tomorrow the idol singer who will hold a concert at the nearby Mihua Activity Center——"

"Ms. Okino Yoko!"

He seemed to have found decisive evidence: "And her last song must be "Moonlight Lady"! So Kaito Kid will come from near the Rice Flower Activity Center around 9 o'clock tomorrow night!"

The corner of Conan's mouth twitched.

This one is even more heavyweight!
