Chapter 238 Kaito is attacked
Chapter 239 Kaito is attacked

After leaving Conan and Hattori behind, I didn't go looking for Xiaolan and the others. After all, I was still quite concerned about that lottery, so after thinking about it, I decided to call Kaito.

"Moshimoshi? Who is this?" Kaito answered my call.

"I'm Bing." I replied. "Where are you?"

"Guess~" Kaito joked.

"Okay, I don't have time to joke with you. I'm in a hurry." I shook my head helplessly.

"Well, I'm in a teppanyaki shop near Tsutenkaku now."

"Tsutenkaku? Are you going to start from there?"

"Huh? You haven't read my preview letter yet?" Kaito asked puzzledly.

"I didn't watch it. I just listened to the analysis of those detectives. I think they said it happened at 3 a.m. in the castle tower of Osaka Castle."

"Haha, it seems that the thinking awareness of those detectives needs to be improved." Kaito smiled. "Why, you want to see me for something?"

"Ah, stay there, I'll come find you." I hung up the phone, walked to an empty alley, got out of my car, and drove towards Kaito. In less than ten minutes, I arrived at the store where Kaito was. When I entered, Kaito was still eating at a seat near the window. There was an untouched meal on the iron plate in front of him, which I thought was prepared for me.

"Bing, this way." Kaito waved at me. After walking quickly to his side, I took the soda in front of me and poured it down my mouth without hesitation. "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry to find me?" Kaito asked.

"Burp..." I burped. "Didn't I say I would give you something last time? Now I've got it for you." I snapped my fingers, and after a puff of pink smoke, a small box appeared in Kaito's eyes.

"This is..." Kaito took the small box and opened it. Inside was a black V-neck T-shirt. "Why did you give me a piece of clothing?" Kaito asked in confusion.

"It's clothes that can save your life." I started to stuff food into my mouth. I have to say that the teppanyaki in this restaurant tastes really good. "Although the chances of you using it are small, you should still wear it. There are killers lurking during this operation."

"Hey..." Kaito was slightly stunned. "Okay, I'll wear it inside."

"Um, by the way, have you planned your flight route?"

"Well, after I get the thing, I will fly to the port." Kaito said to me. "I don't know where they will hide the egg, anyway, after I get the egg, I will fly there, but why are you asking this?"

"Nothing. I was just trying to protect you from getting out of here. After all, there are other killers involved this time, and I don't want you to die before you succeed."

"Ha, don't worry, I'm Kaito Kidd II. It won't be that easy for me to die." Kaito said to me with a grin.

"It's up to you. Just do what you want. As for the rest, I'll take care of it. Also, don't forget our agreement."

"Don't worry, with or without the gem, everything else is yours," Kaito confirmed.

"Well, I'm leaving now. You take care of yourself." I nodded.

"Eh? You're leaving after just a short while?" Kaito stopped me. "At least finish your meal before leaving."

"No, I'm not lucky today, I think it's better to stay alone." I declined Kaito's invitation and walked out the door. "Finally, please be careful."

"Hi~~~" Kaito waved at me. "By the way, my action time is 7:20. Don't make a mistake."

"Yeah." After saying that, I turned around and walked out of the door. It was still a long time before 7:20 in the evening. It seemed that I could really go to the specialty shops here to bring some things back to Shiho. Walking along the road, I didn't know where I was walking, and it seemed that I came to a place called Ebisu Bridge. Compared with the environment I just walked through, this place can be considered prosperous. So I started to look at some of Osaka's specialties in this area.

"Hmm... Takoyaki, braised pork buns, and cheesecake, these should be the best specialties in Osaka, right?" I thought as I looked at the shops on the street. So I bought a few of these things, put them in a box, and then put them in the necklace, so that even if I bring them to Shiho, these specialties will still be warm.

"Hey? Xiaoxun?" Just when I was still thinking about what else to buy, a familiar voice sounded behind me. I turned around and saw Xiaolan Yuanzi and Heye three girls appearing in front of me.

"Eh? Sister Xiaolan? Why are you here?" I asked in confusion. Didn't they say it's not appropriate to be with family and friends recently? How could we bump into each other?

"Shouldn't you be with Hattori and the others, Xiaoxun?" Kazuha leaned over and looked at me.

"Um... yes, but later I planned to buy some local specialties to bring back to Ai. So I separated from them."

"Really? Hattori is too much! How can you let a kid like you go out alone?" Kazuha was very dissatisfied, but unfortunately I couldn't say anything. I couldn't tell her that I ran out alone. I had to put the blame on Hattori.

"But who is Xiao Ai?" Xiao Lan seemed to be more concerned about another question. "Xiao Ai is a new transfer student in our class." I smiled awkwardly, no doubt this would become a topic of teasing for the three girls here.

"Hey?! Is Masaka your girlfriend?" Sonoko's face suddenly filled with gossip.

“Ha, ha.” A girlfriend is just a girlfriend, why call her a little girlfriend… “We’ve only known each other since childhood. Not long after I transferred here, she also transferred here.”

"Oh? We are childhood sweethearts again. Xiaoxun, come on, I'm rooting for you." Sonoko leaned over and gently poked my arm with her elbow.

"Aha, ahahahahaha." Faced with Sonoko's words, I could only smile awkwardly.

"Hey... I really want to meet her." Xiaolan clapped her hands gently. "I also want to know what kind of girl can capture the heart of our Xiaoxun."

"That's right." He Ye agreed. "Xiaoxun, Xiaoxun, bring your girlfriend to meet us if you have the chance."

“Hehe, hehe…” The corners of my mouth twitched in response.

Meeting Xiaolan and the others here naturally meant that I couldn't go on my own. I had no choice but to follow the three girls. However, with Kazuha, a Kansai girl, I wouldn't run around in Osaka Castle because I couldn't find good souvenirs.

"Well, it's already this time, why don't we go to a restaurant near Tsutenkaku? The teppanyaki there is famous and delicious." It was almost time for dinner, and Kazuha suggested to us.

"Hmm? Could it be the one south of Tsutenkaku?" I asked.

"Huh? How do you know?" He Ye asked me puzzledly.

"Um, I just passed by." Well, I can only say that Kaito is really good at choosing places. He picked the best teppanyaki restaurant in Tsutenkaku at once. I hope that I won't run into Kaito with Xiaolan and the others later. Otherwise, whether Kaito greets me or Xiaolan sees Kaito who is so similar to Kudo, it will be easy to make mistakes.

Fortunately, when we came to the restaurant again, Kaito had already left. Looking at the time, it was less than two hours until 7:20, so Kaito needed to go and get ready. The boss didn't say much, so we had dinner here in a very harmonious way.

"Sister Xiaolan, I want to go back to find Conan and the others." After dinner, I looked at the time and it was almost seven o'clock. I needed to go to the harbor to pick up Kaito.

"Eh? But we don't know where they are. I'll make a phone call." As she said that, Xiaolan called Conan, and only then did she find out that the two of them had already started walking towards the Suzuki Museum of Art.

"Xiaoxun, let's go back too." Xiaolan said.

"No, it's okay, Xiaolan, I'll go back alone. You and Sonoko probably haven't had enough fun yet, right?" I said. Of course, I couldn't really go back, because if I went back, I would definitely be too late to catch up with Kaito. So leaving now was the only option.

"Eh? How can I leave you alone so late..."

"It's okay, Xiaolan, I'll call a taxi and go back alone~" I interrupted Xiaolan's words and ran out alone. I didn't pay any attention to Xiaolan who wanted to stop me from behind. Of course, I couldn't stop, otherwise I wouldn't be able to leave. But I also called a taxi in front of Xiaolan, so that she would feel more at ease. Of course, my destination is Osaka Bay, because when Kaito completes the operation, he will go there.

When I arrived at Osaka Bay, it was around 7:15. There was still some time before Kaito's action, so I found a building nearby that could overlook the whole situation and took the elevator up. I pried open the door to the roof, and in response to the slight sea breeze, I set up my sniper rifle on the building. At the same time, I also saw a wonderful fireworks show at Osaka Pavilion in the distance. I guess Kaito set off these fireworks for his own action. Looking at the Tsutenkaku in the distance with a sniper rifle, sure enough, at the top of the Tsutenkaku, Kaito, in a white dress, was holding the railing beside him and looking into the distance.

"Heh, this kid, he only knows how to show off, obviously no one can see it." Looking at Kaito, I smiled lightly, but soon, I couldn't laugh anymore. Because under my sniper scope, Kaito quickly pressed a switch, and I saw a violent explosion in the distance, and the source of the explosion was actually the power station in Osaka.

"F*ck!" I cursed. Kaito played too big this time, and the whole city of Osaka was out of power. But the problem was not how big Kaito played, but that Osaka was plunged into darkness. I couldn't even see a ghost under my sniper scope. How could I cover for Kaito?

In the darkness, I put down my sniper rifle, pulled out a grenade launcher from my necklace, and loaded it with flares. I waited for Kaito to escape from there so that I could use it to provide myself with some light. Under the moonlight, Kaito's white glider was still easy to see. In a few minutes, Kaito flew towards me from a distance. I calculated the time, picked up the flare, and fired it into the sky.

Bang! In an instant, the entire harbor was illuminated as if it were daytime. When Kaito saw the flare being fired, I was there holding a sniper rifle and gesturing to him to fly out of the area. After receiving my signal, Kaito began to turn around, and I began to look around. After a while, I saw Conan on a skateboard chasing Kaito in the backlight.

"Hey, this guy." I smiled, "In a little while, Kaito will fly out of the harbor, what are you...huh?!" Just as I was scanning Conan with the scope, suddenly, when passing a bridge, I saw a figure wearing a black windbreaker. At this time, he was holding a pistol with an extended muzzle, which was not only equipped with a sniper scope, but also an infrared aiming. This configuration is enough for her to snipe anyone within two or three hundred yards. And Kaito happened to be within this distance!
Instantly, my nerves tensed up. My flare just happened to make the man in the windbreaker with his face completely covered in backlight. Even I could only vaguely see an outline and couldn't tell who it was. But no matter who it was, he had already raised his gun, so I didn't have time to think about it. I adjusted the muzzle and fired a bullet at him.

boom! ! !
The loud sound of the sniper rifle spread across the entire harbor in an instant. Kaito naturally heard the sound of the gunshot and subconsciously looked towards my position. This look also caused his glider to slightly deviate from its original trajectory. In the shadow of the backlight, the bullet I just fired did not hit the man holding the gun on the bridge. Because of the light, I couldn't aim well. The man standing on the bridge seemed to have felt my bullets, and after quickly firing two shots at Kaito in the sky, he turned and ran under the bridge.

Because of the infrared aiming, his two shots hit Kaito completely. Kaito's glider lost its balance and plunged towards the sea.

"Fuck!" I cursed, and then shot at the man under the bridge again, but unfortunately the light was not enough, and I didn't hit him in the end.

"Damn it!" I hammered the wall hard. I didn't expect that even with my protection, another killer would successfully shoot Kaito. How shameful! Cursing silently, I put away the gun as quickly as possible, ran downstairs, got out of the car, and drove quickly towards the art gallery. I couldn't let Conan and the others find out the flaw, even though I was very worried about Kaito's safety.

"Is this the so-called Sueyoshi?" I frowned in the car. "That shabby temple should be demolished!"
