Chapter 140: Facing Kaito
Chapter 141: Facing Kaito
On Wednesday morning, Minami asked for leave, so I had a free day. Not long after Conan left home, I got up. As for where I went, of course I went to find Kaito. How could I miss such a rare free time? I walked all the way to Ekoda High School. Unlike Teitan High School's French-style suits, Ekoda uses an orthodox Japanese high-collar school uniform. But because Kaito looks very similar to Kudo, it seems interesting. (Dress-up talent show?)
Arriving at the gate of Jianggutian High School, I bypassed the guards in the security room and slipped into the school. Kaito's class was Class B of the second year, so I started searching in the teaching building. I soon found the location of Class B of the second year. But I was too short now. I couldn't even look inside the window of the classroom door. I had no choice but to walk out of the teaching building and go to the open space outside. I found a big tree facing Kaito's classroom, pulled out my SAS, and climbed up little by little. I sat on a branch and looked into the classroom. I saw that the classroom was in chaos at this moment. The hero I was looking for was being forced onto the beam by the heroine with a mop, and the two seemed to be arguing fiercely about something.

"Aoko, calm down. I just looked at the color of your underwear." Kaito said with a grin on the beam.

"What do you mean it was just a look, you bastard Kaito, get down here!" Aoko was blushing and waving the mop in her hand, while at the other end of the classroom, the teacher already looked like he was about to collapse.

"Hey, this kid, he doesn't take class seriously at all." Outside the classroom, I couldn't help laughing when I saw Kaito and Aoko fighting. "This pair of happy enemies is really...eh?" While I was paying attention to Kaito, I suddenly felt that someone in the classroom had noticed my presence. Looking closely, I saw a beautiful girl with red hair quickly lowered her head and avoided my sight. "Hey... Koizumi Akako?" I looked down at the girl who was lowering her head and shaking a little. A playful smile hung on the corner of her mouth. "As expected of a witch, she has such a strong perception ability." With a slight smile, I turned over and jumped off the big tree.

"Huh..." In the classroom, Hongzi, who was trembling a little, suddenly couldn't feel my gaze. She subconsciously looked towards the tree, only to see that the branches were already empty. Her trembling heart slowly calmed down. "Just now... who was that kid? Why did I feel a sense of fear towards him? Moreover, he could easily notice that I was looking at him. Who... is he?"

On the other side, I jumped down from the tree and slipped into the teaching building again, running straight to the roof. Seeing that Kaito was so active in class, he would definitely be chased out by Aoko when the get out of class was about to end. And the only place he could escape to was probably the roof. Sure enough, not long after the bell rang, the door on the roof of the teaching building was pushed open by Kaito. Then I saw Kaito panting.

"Huh, huh, huh... Aoko is really scary. Wasn't it necessary for him to lift a table and smash it on me just because I looked at the color of my underwear?" Kaito complained.

"Come on, you've already seen under her skirt. The fact that you weren't beaten to death by Aoko already shows that Aoko loves you very much. And you're still not satisfied." My unscrupulous voice floated into Kaito's ears.

"Wow!" Kaito was startled. "You, why are you here?"

"I told you I would come to see you soon. Did you forget?" I leaned against the wall, crossed my arms, and looked at Kaito with amusement.

"Eh? That seems to be the case." Kaito recalled. Then he squinted his eyes and looked at me. "So, what do you want to do this time? You don't want to arrest me, do you?"

"If I wanted to arrest you, you would have been in jail long ago. How could I let you live and kick ass until now?" I gave him a half-moon eye in return.

"So what exactly are you doing here?"

"I'm here for only one purpose, which is to find out the real reason for Uncle Daoyi's death with you." I said seriously.

"You, what did you say?!"

Ding Dong~~Ding Dong~~
"Strange, it's already afternoon class, why hasn't Kaito come back? I haven't seen him for two classes and one lunch break." In the classroom, Aoko, who looked very similar to Xiaolan, was looking out the window, thinking with some worry. She hadn't seen Kaito come back since the second class in the morning when she chased him out. Where did he go?

"Hey? Aoko, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Aoko's worried look, Hongzi, who was not far in front of her, turned around and looked at her.

"Hmm? Oh, Anko, I'm fine. It's just that Kaito... ah, Kuroba-san hasn't come back to class since this morning, and it's already afternoon. So I'm a little worried about him."

"Hey..." Hongzi had a playful smile on her face, "As expected, they are boyfriend and girlfriend. They start missing each other after not seeing each other for a few hours."

"You, what are you talking about, Hongzi? Kaito and I are not boyfriend and girlfriend." Aoko's face turned red instantly.

"Hehe, you're blushing." Hongzi said slyly. "Okay, okay, I'll go find him for you."

"Eh?"

"Well... I'm not really interested in this class anyway, so I'll go find that playboy and see where he went." Hongzi gave Qingzi a charming smile, and before the teacher came, she turned around and walked out of the classroom through the back door. Then she stood at the door and waved to Qingzi inside, "Don't worry, I'll be back with him soon." Hongzi said, and closed the back door of the classroom.

As soon as she closed the door, the smile on Hongzi's face disappeared instantly. Kaito hadn't shown up for nearly three hours. This was not his style at all. Or maybe he was entangled in something and couldn't get away from it. Or maybe... that child! Hongzi quickly thought of the child who made her feel uneasy, so she quickly ran to the bathroom. After making sure that no one was around, Hongzi took out the crystal ball she carried with her.

(Kaito: Where did you say she hid the crystal ball?)

(Xun: How would I know? Witches should also have space bags or something like that, right? Otherwise, where did she get her miko clothes, broom, magic wand, etc.?)
(Kaito: Hmm... that makes sense.)
"Crystal ball, crystal ball. Please listen to my voice and fulfill my wish. I ask for your help in the name of the miko. Please tell me where Kuroba Kaito is!"

The spell was like a prayer, and soon the crystal ball in front of Hongzi responded. After a burst of purple light, two words appeared on the crystal ball. [Roof] And the color continued to flash red.

"The roof? There's such a flashing red color." Hongzi's gem-like pupils suddenly shrank. , and rushed out of the bathroom and ran to the roof. A few minutes later, Hongzi ran to the roof. After pushing open the door, her first reaction was to shout. "Kaito! Where are you!"

"...Hmm?" Hearing the voice, Kaito turned around to look at the location of the roof door, only to see Hongzi looking at him in surprise.

"Hongzi? What's going on?"

"Eh?" Hongzi looked at Kaito, who had a calm face. He didn't look dangerous, but why did the red color flicker so strongly just now? Looking at his side, a pale golden color caught her eyes. It was the child she saw outside the window today. At this moment, the child was sitting on the high platform and looking at her calmly.

"Kaito, who is this child?" Hongzi came to Kaito and looked at me solemnly. "Oh, him, he is the child of one of my cousins, and he came to play with me today." Kaito said lightly.

"Really?" Hongzi stared at Kaito closely, as if trying to find some flaws in his expression.

"Yes, yes." Kaito replied sheepishly. "By the way, Hongzi, are you looking for me?"

"Hmm? Oh, Qingzi was a little worried about you, so I came up to check on you on his behalf. Okay, now you should go back quickly." Hongzi took the opportunity to say.

"No, I have to send him back first." Kaito didn't seem to want to leave.

"Hu... looks like we can only stop here today. Kaito, you go back first. I'll come to see you when I have time." Looking at Kaito's expression, I also knew that today's conversation could not continue no matter what. After all, Hongzi is not an ordinary person.

"Eh? This... is you..."

"Okay, I'll send this little brother out of school, you should go back and accompany Aoko." As she said that, Hongzi pushed Kaito out of the door of the rooftop and locked it.

"Hey, what's this?" Kaito said helplessly, looking at the locked door behind him. "Forget it, let's go back to the classroom first." Helplessly, Kaito turned around and walked towards the classroom.

"Kaito, where have you been?" Kaito quietly slipped into the classroom from the back door and sat back in his seat. As soon as he sat down, his childhood friend Aoko asked him a question with a worried look on her face.

"Huh? Oh, nothing. I went to meet a friend and was so engrossed in the conversation that I forgot the time. Hehe." Kaito scratched his head and smiled. "Well, I've missed two classes. Now I have to pay attention to the lessons." Kaito began to flip through his textbook.

"Kaito..." Looking at Kaito's appearance, Aoko was confused, because the current Kaito was not the same Kaito as usual. On the other hand, although Kaito was flipping through his textbook, his mind was no longer here, but he used all his energy to recall all the conversations that the child had said to him a few hours ago.

. . . . . .

"I came here for only one purpose, which is to work with you to find out the real reason for Uncle Daoyi's death."

"You, what did you say?! You know the cause of my father's death? Tell me quickly, how did he die, and who wanted to kill him!" Kaito grabbed my collar and roared like a madman.

"Before we discuss this, can you please let go of your hand?" I looked at him calmly. I was not angry at Kaito's action, because I knew how excited he was at the moment after receiving such news.

"Hmm? Ah. Sorry..." Kaito let go of my hand and looked at me apologetically.

"Never forget to put on your poker face. Have you forgotten everything Uncle Touichi said?" I patted my clothes. Then I jumped onto a platform and sat down, so that I could look Kaito in the eye.

"Huh? You...how did you know?" Kaito asked in surprise.

"Because, this sentence was given to us by Uncle Daoyi, have you forgotten?" A hint of evil appeared on the corner of my mouth.

"What? Impossible. Only Bing and I know this. How could I tell... Wait, you?! Could it be that..." Kaito couldn't believe what was happening before him.

"Yes, just as you guessed. I am the one who studied magic with Uncle Daoyi together with you ten years ago. Then eight years ago, Uncle Daoyi had an accident and I never showed up again. The ice you mentioned."

"How, how is this possible! If it was Bing, it would be at least the same age as me now. How could it still be like this!" Kaito's voice was already trembling.

"I know it's hard for you to believe, but it's true." I said coldly. "Eight years ago, due to the death of Uncle Daoyi, I needed to find a new teacher to teach me the art of voice changing and disguise, so I lost contact with you."

"No, I still don't believe it, but I can be sure that you must know Bing. Tell me where he is." Kaito said in a serious tone.

"Ah..." Looking at Kaito's expression, I couldn't help but sigh. "People once dreamed of flying in the sky, so they created airplanes. In order to swim in the water, they invented submarines. So if a person wants to create something out of thin air, or make something disappear, or even walk in the air without any main force, then I believe that only magic can do it, so I want to use the secrets of magic to create a fantasy world for humans!"

"What...what?" Kaito's eyes suddenly narrowed. He was too familiar with this sentence. For him, this sentence was his motto. However, the source of this sentence came from a friend of his. That friend was Bing. "You are lying, right?" Kaito couldn't believe the fact in front of him.

"It's not a lie, it's the truth." I said seriously. "Because, something happened, so I became what I am now. As for the reason, it's all because of this." As I said that, my hand passed across my chest, and a flash of silver light pointed directly at Kaito.

"This is!"
