Chapter 559 Why is there always someone coming to share the blame?
"There are many accidents ahead, the Rice Flower Theater."
In the dressing room backstage, the famous stage actor Maki Juri was putting on makeup, and Maori Kogoro repeatedly assured her: "Don't worry, Miss Juri, Martin is just a joker, and he is not short of money at all. What he said about stealing your gems is just his way of expressing his willingness to help fight against Kaito Kid!"
"Hehe..." Conan on the side had dead eyes.
Because Xiaolan, Sonoko and Fusae made an appointment to go shopping, the three members of the detective team were detained, so only Conan was brought to the theater by Kogoro Mouri to work 'together'.
At this time, Ginzo Nakamori, who had been unwavering in his efforts to deal with Kaito Kid for a hundred years, came. Kogoro Mori happily went to greet Ginzo Nakamori and shook hands with him.
However, as soon as they shook hands, the huge force he felt in his hand made Kogoro Maori realize that something was wrong. When he looked up again, he found that Nakamori Ginzo's expression was clearly a fake smile.
"It was really all thanks to you last time." Nakamori Ginzo was still speaking politely.
The last time the two met was during the Osaka Egg of Memories incident, when Kogoro Maori's interpretation of the code was completely wrong about the time and place, and he directly led Nakamori Ginzo's entire team astray.
"No, no." Seeing the other party like this, Kogoro Mori was not polite anymore. As a judo master, he had a strong grip and he immediately pinched back with all his strength in return.
The two grown men started wrestling like idiots. If a piece of coal was clamped between their palms at this time, perhaps a large diamond worthy of being stolen by Kaito Kidd could be born from the crushing of their huge grip!
Finally, the two of them let go at the same time, and put their swollen and painful right hands behind their backs as per ancient court etiquette.
"By the way, Miss Mu, let me introduce you to a helper I have hired." Nakamori Ginzo turned his head and looked outside the door: "Come in."
A high school boy swaggered in: "Hi, hello everyone."
Conan's eyes widened: "Gong gong gong... Weird..."
Using my number again, you are so shameless!
"Ah, it turns out to be you, the little detective." Kogoro Mouri continued to have a sullen face.
Ginzo Nakamori introduced the high school detective Shinichi Kudo to Makiri and other members of the troupe. He did not recognize at all that the person next to him was the future son-in-law who teased his daughter every day. He did not even change his appearance, just changed his hairstyle.
Kuroba Kaito came over and looked around: "Hey? Where's Xiaolan? Didn't Xiaolan come?"
Conan gave him a dead look.
"Lan isn't here. There's only me and this brat here." Maori Kogoro also stared at him with dead eyes: "You disappeared for so long, and suddenly you come out to look for Lan. What do you want to do?"
Is there no one else? Kuroba Kaito's eyes turned slyly, and he started the second stage. He took a step closer to Maori Kogoro, then covered one side of his mouth with one hand, and whispered in a voice that Conan on the ground could hear clearly: "Uncle, actually I'm Martin."
He knew that if he pretended to be Kudo Shinichi, even if he could fool anyone, he would never be able to fool his "brother" himself, nor would he be able to fool Mori Ran, and he might even not be able to fool Mori Kogoro.
So Kuroba Kaito prepared a second plan in advance. After confirming that Martin was not at the scene, he claimed to be Martin.
In this way, even if Conan can prove that he is not Kudo Shinichi, it will be useless. "You kid!?" Maori Kogoro was surprised, but because Martin was just a boy who was as good at changing his face as Kaito Kid, Maori Kogoro believed it immediately.
Maori Kogoro squinted his eyes at Kuroba Kaito and said, "Didn't you claim that you also wanted to steal the gems? Why are you here disguised as a detective boy? Do you want to take advantage of my daughter?"
What? Martin is stealing gems too? No one told me about this?
Hearing what Maori Kogoro said, Kuroba Kaito instinctively panicked. At the same time, he said casually: "That was just a joke, hahaha~"
"Hmph, I think so... I had to explain for a long time in front of Miss Juri." Kogoro Mouri snorted coldly.
Conan crossed his arms and glared at Kuroba Kaito.
Is this Martin? Is this me again? Why does this feel wrong to me?
No, this is that thief Kaito Kidd!
But how do I prove that he is not Martin? Call the real Martin? But the real Martin is on his way to steal the gems at this time... Wait, why should I consider whether it will affect Martin's crime?
Just as Conan was thinking about how to prove the identity of Kaito Kid, Kogoro Maori looked at "Martin" who had turned into Kudo Shinichi, and suddenly remembered something very important.
The first time Kogoro Mouri met Martin was one morning when Martin appeared in the office with a corgi.
But if you think about it carefully, the day before that day, Kudo Shinichi, who claimed that his house was flooded and he was homeless, stayed in the office for one night.
If there was something wrong with Kudo Shinichi that day, it was that the boy became particularly despicable, so despicable that Kogoro Mori wanted to write "Kudo Shinichi and dogs are not allowed" on the door of the office.
At that time, Kudo Shinichi was very similar to a boy who changed his face, but when I first met Martin, I didn't realize that he could change his face. Later, when I found out, I didn't think about it that way.
Seeing the appearance of Kudo Shinichi in front of him and the boy who called himself Martin, Kogoro Mori's dusty memory began to revive, and he remembered the humiliation he suffered that day.
"Hey, kid. Isn't this the first time you've turned into a detective boy?" Maori Kogoro came over and put his arm on Kuroba Kaito's shoulder affectionately: "This isn't the first time we've met, right?"
What does this uncle mean? It seems that he suspects that Martin has transformed into Kudo Shinichi and is very angry? Did Martin take advantage of that lady (Mouri Ran)? Huh? Brother, there is a fire in your backyard.
Kuroba Kaito didn't know whether Martin had done such a thing before, so he couldn't answer at all. He just said vaguely: "Uh... maybe?"
In the eyes of Kogoro Mori, this guy has already admitted it.
Kogoro Mori suddenly jumped up, and immediately moved his hand on Kaito Kuroba's shoulder to his neck. He pressed Kaito Kuroba to the ground with his backhand, and then gave him a naked choke.
"I knew it was you, kid!" Maori Kogoro gritted his teeth and said, "It's time to settle this account!"
Kuroba Kaito was stunned when he was thrown to the ground, and now he was strangled by the neck and couldn't even say a word to refute.
As early as when Kogoro Mouri opened his mouth to ask, Conan, who had sensed something was wrong, had already retreated far away. At this time, he could only look at Kuroba Kaito with his tongue sticking out, and complained about him in his heart: Why can you impersonate anyone else? You have to impersonate the one who deserves a beating the most.
