IW: Chapter 300 - Bai Ye wants to steal the credit! Damn Bai Ye!
"Sonoko, isn't this too reckless? Conan doesn't understand anything."
Sonoko's joyful expression fell into Ran's eyes, and she was a little worried, so she quickly spoke up to remind her.
What could a child like Conan possibly understand?
If Sonoko went ahead like this and was later rejected by Bai Ye, the blow to Sonoko would be considerable.
Ran thought Sonoko should calm down; who acts like this on a first meeting?
"Ran, don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
You know what you're doing? Yeah, right.
Ran couldn't help but inwardly complain.
It's precisely because it's Sonoko that she can't possibly know what she's doing, right?
But seeing Sonoko like this, Ran knew that she probably couldn't stop her.
Forget it.
Ran decided not to stop Sonoko anymore, mainly because she had no reason to stop her.
"But how do I go over there?"
Sonoko had just been full of enthusiasm, but when she turned her head to look over there, she didn't know what reason she should use to approach him.
Instantly, Sonoko lost her spirits.
"Sister Sonoko can talk about jewels with Big Brother Bai Ye."
At this moment, Conan also stated his purpose.
Sonoko didn't know what to talk about, but in Conan's opinion, since he's a detective, he must love talking about cases, right?
Conan was speaking from his own experience.
Anyway, as long as someone talks about cases with him, he can say a lot.
"What's there to talk about with that jewel? Do you think everyone is a deduction maniac like that?"
Sonoko muttered, not everyone was a deduction maniac like Shinichi.
But she had no choice; she could only try.
"This busybody, I give her an idea, and she still talks about me like that?"
Conan was speechless.
Looking at Sonoko's back, he didn't bother to argue.
The most crucial thing now was to get in touch with Bai Ye.
He needed Bai Ye to listen to his opinion.
He hadn't dealt with Kaito Kid before.
"Um, would you like some pastries?"
I'm speechless...
Conan followed behind Sonoko, originally intending for Sonoko to talk about the jewel.
But she only asked that one question?
"Okay!"
Uncle, was he asking you?
Sonoko rolled her eyes; the person she wanted to ask didn't answer, but Mouri Kogorou truly didn't care at all.
But she was the one who asked the question.
Sonoko also realized that she seemingly couldn't refuse at all.
"Then let's have some; I didn't eat anything when I arrived."
"Okay, I'll go now!"
Sonoko clenched her hands; at that moment, she felt like she was in love.
Indeed, how could an uncle compare to this handsome guy?
Hearing Bai Ye's voice, she felt motivated to do this.
"Hey, hey, hey, isn't this attitude a bit too obvious?"
Mouri Kogorou was dumbfounded.
Just now, Sonoko looked very unwilling.
"Uncle, it's obvious she has a motive. As a detective, can't you see that?"
Hakuba Saguru chuckled.
He had seen it just now; Sonoko's gaze was practically glued to Bai Ye when she came over.
Isn't that already very obvious?
"Ah, you young people are still not professional enough!"
No matter how stupid Mouri Kogorou was, he had reacted.
But didn't this just show his professionalism in this matter?
He was here to work, not to fall in love.
"Let's talk about these later. I need to emphasize something about the jewel to everyone."
Suzuki Jirokichi saw that the topic had already strayed.
He quickly pulled the conversation back.
"It's best if you can catch Kaito, but if you can't, I won't force you. However, this jewel must be left behind!"
Suzuki Jirokichi believed that his condition was already a significant concession.
He didn't expect them to catch Kaito anyway.
As long as they could protect this jewel from being taken.
Then he could boast about this matter.
However, Mouri Kogorou clearly didn't understand this point.
He patted his chest and quickly said, "Don't worry, I will definitely catch these Kaitos!"
Regardless of the reasons.
Money or otherwise.
Mouri Kogorou would go all out.
"Then let's all stay together from now on. This is to prevent it from being swapped."
Suzuki Jirokichi didn't say much more.
It would naturally be best if they could catch him.
"Where is the jewel placed?"
"Follow me."
Suzuki Jirokichi glanced at Bai Ye, then walked to the TV and turned on the surveillance footage.
It was in an empty room.
The jewel was protected by a glass case.
There were many infrared devices around it.
"This is a secret room. Only I know where the key is. It's absolutely impossible to enter without the key!"
Suzuki Jirokichi said proudly, while Sonoko, carrying pastries, walked over.
Putting down the pastries, Sonoko also asked curiously, "So you can't get in without the key?"
"Absolutely not!"
Suzuki Jirokichi was very proud.
Even with forced destruction, it would take some time, and the commotion would definitely attract attention.
This room was on the top floor.
There were his people in the rooms downstairs and on the rooftop.
He didn't believe anyone could break in.
"I think you might be celebrating too early."
"Oh?"
Suzuki Jirokichi looked at Bai Ye with some curiosity. Why would he be celebrating too early?
"Kid, how could such cutting-edge technology be breached? And time is almost up; look, no one has gone in there!"
Mouri Kogorou pointed to the time and then to the surveillance screen.
Isn't it obvious?
Suzuki Jirokichi was about to speak when Sonoko handed him a cup of tea: "Uncle, have some tea."
Taking the cup from Sonoko's hand, this interrupted what he had originally intended to say.
After drinking, Suzuki Jirokichi subconsciously went to put the cup down, but Sonoko took it from him.
Once Sonoko took the cup, she silently placed it aside.
"Alright, someone should be able to go in now."
"What do you mean?"
Suzuki Jirokichi asked, puzzled.
He had just said it, so why did Bai Ye emphasize it again?
Was Bai Ye really just a good-for-nothing?
"Because your fingerprints have already been obtained by Kid."
Bai Ye pointed at Sonoko.
It was Sonoko who had prepared the pastries for them earlier, but the person who came back was Kid.
"Don't joke around, how could I be Kid?"
Sonoko's awkward smile hung on her face, and she subconsciously took a step back.
But as Bai Ye's words fell, Nakasone Ginzo had already stopped her.
"If I'm not mistaken, yours is a fingerprint key. The key to open that is your fingerprint, and Kid has already obtained it."
The cup given to Suzuki Jirokichi earlier had a fingerprint collection device attached to it by Kid.
Now, he just needed to take this and go.
"Hey, this isn't funny at all."
Kid looked at Nakasone Ginzo, who was already preparing to act.
He also understood that if he continued to just watch, he would definitely be caught.
"Oh my, Big Brother actually figured it out so quickly?"
Conan was also a little surprised, then on second thought, he felt it made sense.
Looking at Bai Ye curiously, Conan clearly wanted to know why Bai Ye had known so quickly.
"Just now, her gaze at me was as if she wanted to pounce on me, but when she came back, she deliberately kept her distance. Clearly, he didn't know what had just happened."
I get it!
So you understood all along!
Conan was enlightened after hearing Bai Ye's explanation.
Earlier, he had even given Sonoko advice.
He had wondered how what Sonoko said could possibly succeed.
Now it seems that he truly could tell!
w w w. t t k a n o
"Indeed, only a deduction maniac like Shinichi would..."
A hint of sadness flashed in Ran's eyes.
There was still a gap between detectives.
"It seems I didn't clearly understand that lady's intentions."
Kid was a little troubled.
He also knew that he definitely couldn't keep up the act anymore.
Throwing a smoke bomb, Kid directly ran towards the location of the jewel.
After obtaining the fingerprints, he was also ready to go and unlock it.
"Where's Kid?"
Nakasone Ginzo roared.
This was a hard-won chance to catch Kid; was he going to let him escape again?
"He should be in the room where the jewel is kept."
"Upstairs!"
Prompted by Bai Ye, Suzuki Jirokichi also reacted and quickly said.
"Big Brother is amazing. Why haven't I heard of Big Brother's name before?"
Conan, while keeping up with Bai Ye's pace, probed about Bai Ye's situation.
According to the information he had investigated from Agasa Hakase, he had only learned that Bai Ye was an ordinary high school student.
Logically speaking, his sudden appearance felt very strange.
"There are so many people in the world, how could you know everyone's name?!"
"No, I just..."
Conan was a little troubled; what he wanted to ask was clearly not this.
But looking at Bai Ye, it seemed he really didn't want to tell him.
"Little friend, you don't seem like a child."
"Ah? Hehe... Do I?"
Conan's pupils contracted slightly, then he scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed look, as if he had been seen through, changing the subject.
"It seems it's already been stolen."
"How could that be...?"
Suzuki Jirokichi looked at the empty jewel spot in front of him, a little troubled.
Then he immediately looked at the bodyguard and asked, "Didn't I just say that no one was allowed to go near it?"
"But... it was you who came over just now..."
The bodyguard said, lowering his head.
And Suzuki Jirokichi was completely stunned at this moment.
It was all for naught.
"What is this? Chase!"
Suzuki Jirokichi said, then immediately led his men to chase downstairs.
He didn't believe it; this place was already sealed off.
Could Kid still escape?
Bai Ye lagged behind, slowly following.
In a corner of the building.
Ai Kisugi looked at the departing crowd, put down the screen in her hand, and asked Kisugi Rui, "Big Sister, should we act?"
"Let's act. That jewel cannot be taken by Kid."
With that said.
The three sisters directly headed towards the room where the jewel was hidden.
When they got the jewel that Kid had hidden, the bodyguard who had infiltrated was also a little stunned at this moment.
"Hey, don't you have any professional ethics?"
Kid had finally managed to distract everyone, only to be intercepted by Cats Eye.
"We got it ourselves. What do you mean by 'do we have any professional ethics'?"
Ai Kisugi said somewhat smugly.
They had infiltrated the network here and naturally saw what Kid had done in the surveillance earlier.
This was called being one step ahead.
"Indeed, pretending to be a bodyguard and then using the principle of light to pretend that Kid had already left with the jewel, then taking advantage of everyone chasing Kid, you come back and take the jewel. You lost."
Bai Ye walked into the room.
Click.
The door was closed.
"Excuse me, this door seems to only open from the outside. Can't you leave?"
Bai Ye looked at the four people in front of him with a chuckle.
It seemed he had caught them all in one go.
It wasn't very exciting.
It seemed there would be two fewer interesting opponents in the future.
"Damn it!! This guy..."
Kid felt like he was going to be annoyed to death.
He originally thought this would be a piece of cake.
But he didn't expect to be caught after all.
"Big Sister, what should we do?"
Ai Kisugi, Kisugi Hitomi, and Kisugi Rui, the three sisters, exchanged glances.
The three of them didn't speak, but they knew what the other meant.
Now the door was closed.
Because they had to guard against them stealing, the lock could only be opened from the outside at the moment; it couldn't be opened from the inside.
By the time the others reacted, they probably wouldn't be able to escape.
"It looks like we need to cooperate."
Kid shrugged and looked at Cats Eye beside him.
Although he still had preparations, it would be best to try if he could get out before that.
"Okay, but we won't give you the jewel."
"Well, that's really heartless!"
Kid sighed, feeling as if his thoughts had been seen through by the other party.
But it didn't matter.
He wouldn't force them to give it to him; he would just look for an opportunity to snatch it later.
"We've been fooled!"
In the hallway.
Conan was running when he suddenly realized they had been fooled.
"What?"
"Uncle, I mean we've been fooled. Kid didn't steal the jewel at all. How could he have had time to steal it when we rushed over then?
Besides, those bodyguards didn't say Uncle Suzuki took the jewel; they only said he went in to look.
Kid infiltrated the bodyguard team, and the bodyguard who just spoke was Kid. His goal was to lure us away and then take the jewel!"
Things changed too quickly.
So Conan hadn't thought about it too much before.
But as he ran, he realized Kid's method.
"How could that be?!"
Suzuki Jirokichi roared in anger; he was somewhat furious.
He seemed to have been played by Kid again.
"When we chased Kid at that time, no one saw the situation on the surveillance. No one knows what he's going to do!"
Hakuba Saguru also said slowly.
It seemed they had indeed been played by Kid.
"Big Brother Bai Ye is also gone. Big Brother Bai Ye probably figured out Kid's method!"
Conan also realized at this moment that Bai Ye was gone.
Bai Ye must have seen through it.
"That scoundrel Bai Ye actually wants to steal the credit!"
Mouri Kogorou exclaimed. He couldn't let Bai Ye hog the limelight!
