Chapter 873 The Phantom Thief's New Assistant
Everything is ready, the Suzuki Express will soon return with the gems, and Suzuki Jirokichi's gem exhibition will be held on the returning train.
"Advisor!" Suzuki Jirokichi's secretary rushed over: "We just received a notification from the police that two women called the police and said they were anesthetized. They were passengers on our express train."
That is, the old lady in the wheelchair and the maid in Room D of carriage 8.
"Oh?" Suzuki Jirokichi said that this was all within his expectations. "I knew that Kidd would sneak onto the train in advance. He's such a lazy guy that he took my train to attend the gem exhibition."
Ginzo Nakamori felt a little regretful. It was such a good opportunity. He could have caught Kaito Kid on the train, but he ended up using the trump card he revealed to catch a... bard.
Of course, catching two gunmen and a seemingly innocent member of the organization is indeed a good thing, but if it could be exchanged, Ginzo Nakamori would still rather catch Kaito Kid.
As for the old lady and the maid who had managed to get on the train, they had naturally disappeared long ago.
"Come to think of it, including this time, Kid now owes Megure two more transcripts." Nakamori Ginzo muttered to himself, wondering if Megure would compete with him to catch Kid next time.
"It doesn't matter! I'll see how he steals the gem from Poseidon this time!" Suzuki Jirokichi took out his pocket watch and checked the time: "Let's go!"
As the shrill and melodious whistle pierced the night sky, the steam train drove out of the platform.
"The time now matches the Infinite Train. This train is now missing two carriages. If it were this train, the Flame Pillar would only need to guard three carriages." Standing in the corridor, looking at the scenery receding outside the window, Martin thought: "Well... there is no one left to play the ghost."
"Ghosts and such..." Xiaolan said weakly, "Forget it."
Originally, Suzuki Sonoko wanted to come to the 8B carriage that was originally planned to be used for the gem exhibition, thinking that she could stay in this carriage and get close to Kaito Kid during the gem exhibition. However, she did not expect that Suzuki Jirokichi had built a fish tank as big as half of the carriage for the gem exhibition. If they stayed in this carriage, other passengers would not be able to come in to see the gems.
As for the passengers originally in carriages 7 and 8, they now have no rooms, and the police officers led by Ginzo Nakamori have occupied a room in each of the first seven carriages, so there are just six rooms left for these passengers.
However, the room assigned to Sonoko was the third carriage, which she thought was too far, so she decided to go to the room next door that belonged to Professor Agasa and Martin.
At this time, they watched in the corridor for a while.
Passengers interested in gems lined up in the corridor. To enter the room, they had to pass the identity check of the police officer at the door and the facial recognition of Ginzo Nakamori.
There were many people in the corridor, but Tuji followed Martin openly, ignoring the curious looks of the passengers passing by.
Because in the setting of the new world, Pokémon are real but only exist in the Vespania Peninsula, and there are very few people who are qualified to take Pokémon out of the peninsula. So now people will only feel strange when they see Rabbit, rather than surprised and unknown.
At this moment, someone quietly approached them from behind. A hand suddenly grabbed Xiaolan's arm from behind: "Xiaolan~"
Xiaolan was startled, but fortunately she didn't give the person behind her a shoulder throw. She then used a series of up, left, down, right, BABA, and looked back.
I saw a girl of the same age as me, wearing a baseball cap that covered half of her face, but under the brim of the hat I could see her pretty face and smooth long black hair.
"Qingzi?"
"Shh!" Nakamori Aoko hurriedly stopped Xiaolan from raising her voice: "Don't let my dad find out."
It was obvious that Nakamori Ginzo didn't know that his daughter had sneaked onto the train. The two walked a few steps away from the police. Xiaolan blinked and suddenly realized: "Could it be that you came here with Kuro... (Kuroba-kun?)"
The accomplice who sneaked onto the train with Kaito Kid is Aoko? !
"Yeah." Aoko put her hands on her hips and complained with a twisted face: "Kaito, that big idiot, said he would make sure it was flawless. He was almost exposed by that boy from your family, Xiaolan. I was really scared at that time."
'Shinichi is definitely better.'^(o▽)oRan was happy in her heart.
"Xiao Lan?" Qingzi was quick to notice the difference in Xiao Lan's expression: "Why do you seem so proud?"
"Eh?" Xiaolan shifted her gaze guiltily: "No, no..."
"Oh right!" Aoko recalled something that happened a long time ago: "Xiaolan, you already knew Kaito's identity, right?"
"Uh, well... I guess so." However, Xiaolan is not familiar with Kuroba Kaito as a high school student. She has always known him as Kaito Kid.
Although it was Kaito Kidd who was persecuted by Martin-kun.
"Damn it." Qingzi was unhappy: "I was the only one who was kept in the dark! Even Xiaolan knew it a long time ago."
As she said this, Qingzi, who was extremely angry, stretched out her hands to Xiaolan's waist and started tickling her.
"Hehe... stop it." Xiaolan scolded: "Aoko, are you jealous of Kuroba-kun?"
"Who cares about that magic idiot..." Aoko denied it without thinking, just like Xiaolan when she was so shy that she said something she didn't mean. But halfway through her words, Aoko paused and started again: "Yeah, I'm a little jealous."
"There is a reason for this..." Just as Xiaolan was about to explain, Suzuki Sonoko and Sera Masumi noticed that she was not around and turned around to look for her.
"Xiaolan, who is she?"
"Let's go back to the room and talk first." Xiaolan looked in the direction of Nakamori Ginzo with some guilt, and pulled Aoko to their room.
...in the room.
"It's so crowded." Yuanzi muttered.
In one room, there is now a fat old man, four beautiful girls, four children, a rabbit and a Doraemon. It must be that Maori Kogoro went to play the guest role of the two generals with Nakamori Ginzo, otherwise it would be even more crowded now.
"Can anyone think of a solution?" Sonoko looked at Martin and suggested.
Martin looked at Doraemon and suggested, "Is there any Doraemon who can think of a solution?"
Doraji, who had just lost a reflective cloak and could not get it back for the time being, groaned, but because the room was really crowded and there was no place to stand, Doraji finally took out the "land pump" from his pocket, inserted the nozzle into the floor of the carriage and pumped it a few times, and the area of the entire room was evenly expanded.
Don’t worry about where the extra space comes from, at least now everyone can sit down.
"Let me introduce you to Aoko." Xiaolan pointed to Sonoko first: "This is Sonoko, a loyal fan of Kaito Kid. Her biggest dream at this stage is to hand Kaito Kid her love letter." (End of this chapter)
