"Your idea is very good..."

"Let's do this. After school, you will send out missing persons notices as planned. I will ask Uncle Maoli for help..."

Conan knew that it was inappropriate for him to leave the team at this time, and he had to give a sufficient reason to convince the three little ones.

Sure enough, the three little ones immediately agreed upon hearing this.

Although they usually complain that Kogoro Mouri takes a lot of credit from them, at critical moments, they still know that the adults are more reliable.

…

The study time during the day passes quickly.

Although Conan usually only paid three cents of his attention to the lectures, today, he didn't even pay one cent of his attention.

After school, Conan and the three little ones parted ways.

The three little ones first went to Dr. Ali's house to prepare a missing person notice, while Conan returned to the office alone.

Although the organization may kill everyone related to Haibara Ai, according to Conan's own judgment, the priority of the three little ones is relatively low.

Even in the eyes of the organization, the three little ones are just elementary school students who play well with Haibara Ai in school, and do not have high assassination value.

But to be on the safe side, FBI bodyguards are still required.

However, Conan also warned James yesterday not to let down his guard too much just because the third primary school student is a genuine primary school student.

The anti-reconnaissance capabilities of these three little ones have been trained very strongly.

Conan said goodbye to the three little ones at the crossroads. As soon as he walked out for a while, a figure followed quietly from behind.

"What are you thinking about? Detective?"

Conan, who was engrossed in thinking, didn't notice it at all. When he turned around, he found that it was another "self"!

Of course, this is impossible.

Conan, who was full of surprise, took a closer look and saw the identity of the person coming from the playful expression on his face.

"Kuroba Kaito..."

Conan drooped his eyelids, "Why are you here?"

Kuroba Kaito was wearing a blue casual sweatshirt, with his hands in his pockets, and said with a smile: "Dad said you seemed to be in some trouble, so let me help you..."

After Kuroba Kaito said this, he remembered that his uncle Kuroba Toichi was also present when he called yesterday.

"But how can you help? Isn't what you're best at stealing things?"

Seeing the disgusted look on Conan's face, Kuroba Kaito's arrogant temper also rose.

"Hey~ what do you mean by being the best at stealing things? That's obviously magic, magic!"

"Yes, it's...magic..."

Conan weakly responded twice, but did not refuse Kuroba Kaito's participation.

He still had a clear idea of ​​how capable his cousin was.

"By the way, it's only 3 o'clock in the afternoon. It shouldn't be the end of high school yet, right? How did you get here?"

Facing Conan's question, Kuroba Kaito smiled with a smile on his face.

"That kind of boring class, I'll just leave if I tell you~"

At the same time, in Class 2B of Ekoda High School, a balloon dummy in the shape of Kuroba Kaito was sitting in his seat "listening carefully".

What's even more amazing is that no one around him noticed that it was a fake, including his childhood sweetheart Nakamori Aoko.

"Hey, hey~ Your high school over there is really awesome..."

Conan couldn't help but complain, because he thought Kuroba Kaito was a bad boy who jumped over the wall and skipped classes.

In this way, a pair of dancing couples who once fell in love with each other became a family that loves each other.

…

20 minutes later, Conan and Kuroba Kaito arrived in front of an apartment building.

On the way, Conan told Kuroba Kaito roughly what happened so that he could keep up with the progress of the version.

"That is to say, you want to go in now to see if the female teacher named 'Wakasa' is really missing?"

"Yeah." Conan nodded.

"Don't worry, just keep it with me~"

Kuroba Kaito and Conan discussed it, and then the two took action.

Conan first went to the management office on the first floor of the apartment and pretended to be missing to attract the apartment manager to come out.

Taking advantage of this time, Kuroba Kaito sneaked from the door to the management office, checked the tenant list, and found the room number where Wakasa Rumi rented.

After he came out, he made an "Ok" gesture behind the administrator, and Conan made an excuse to escape.

After that, Conan took advantage of his size to sneak into the building again.

The two entered the building and went straight to the room floor where Rumi Wakasa was.

Conan stared solemnly at the door in front of him and took a long breath.

"Open the door..."

"What opens the door?"

Conan looked surprised, "Didn't we agree that you would be responsible for opening the door? Didn't you steal the master key to the apartment?"

"No……"

"you……"

Just as Conan was about to have an attack, Kuroba Kaito smiled and reached into his pocket.

What he took out was not a master key, but a small bag of lock picking tools.

"Hehe~ As a magician, do you still need a key to open the door?"

"Oh……"

Conan grinned slightly, not knowing where to start.

Kuroba Kaito squatted in front of the door, inserted the metal stick into the keyhole and poked it.

But just as he was focusing on the keyhole in front of him, footsteps suddenly came from the room diagonally opposite. From the sound, he judged that the tenant inside was about to go out.

If other tenants saw the two of them poking and cooing in front of the room door, they would definitely call the police.

"Hey! Hurry up!"

"Don't rush me, I'm working hard~"

"Didn't you say you were fast?"

"Of course~ But the protection measures this time are a bit tight and it's not easy to break..."

The footsteps in the room diagonally across became closer and closer, until there was also movement from the door handle.

Conan's eyes widened. He didn't want to be called a parent because of such a thing.

But fortunately, the moment the door opened, Kuroba Kaito opened the door lock first, and the two of them got into the room at lightning speed.

Listening to the sounds coming from the corridor outside the door behind him and the pounding heartbeat in his chest, Conan finally understood what "guilty conscience" meant.

In fact, Conan himself often did things like sneaking into private property to look for evidence without the owner's permission.

But I don’t know why, this time when I was acting with my cousin, I felt so guilty about stealing?

The two looked at each other, gradually relaxed, and smiled at each other.

Next, the search begins.

The apartment that Wakasa Rumi rented was not very large and was considered a single apartment.

There was a faint smell floating in the entire suite...
