"Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are..."
Kaito Kid's voice is much better than Conan's. After singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to the moon, he quickly turned to Conan and said:
"Boss, I'm done singing. Are you satisfied? If not, I can sing again. If you are, can we start exchanging cultivation techniques?"
"Boss, you're better than me, you go first."
After hearing what Kaito Kid said, Conan was also dumbfounded: "I've already told you, now it's your turn to tell me how to train using the mysterious power within the gem?"
After hearing Conan's words, Kaito Kid was equally bewildered: "Boss, you told me about the training method? How come I didn't know that?"
"Sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to the moon!"
"Alright, since you like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, I'll sing it again."
But, Conan, I understand that you like to hear me sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, but I don't understand why you want me to sing it to the moon.
Am I not qualified to sing to the sun?
Conan: ...
After complaining, Kaito Kid eventually obeyed Conan's instructions and sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" again, all in order to gain the skill to train his chakra.
Seeing the flamboyant Phantom Thief Kid singing to the moon again, Conan muttered to his back, "Idiot."
Kaito Kid: "Boss, are you insulting me?"
"Correct."
"Why? You made me sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to the moon like an idiot, and I did it all. Why are you still scolding me? Why won't you teach me how to cultivate chakra?"
Upon hearing Conan admit that he was being insulted, Kaito Kid panicked, stopped singing, and tearfully complained to Conan:
"Boss, ever since I witnessed your dashing figure, I, Phantom Thief Kid, have admired you to the point of utter devotion and have been utterly loyal to you. You can't insult me like this!"
After listening to Kaito Kid's complaints, Conan got angry: "Idiot, didn't I teach you to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to the moon?"
I've already taught you this much, what more do you want?
Are you trying to cheat me after learning my method, and not want to teach me your method of looking at the moon with a gemstone?
"What? Singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to the moon is how you train your chakra, boss?"
Even though I'm not well-educated and a complete novice, you can't lie to me like this!
How can you possibly cultivate chakra by singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to the moon?
"Your family even uses gemstones to look at the moon and can cultivate chakra, so why can't our family cultivate chakra by singing 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' to the moon?"
"What? Your family sings 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' to the moon to cultivate chakra? Our family looks at jewels to the moon to cultivate chakra? Holy crap!"
After Conan pointed it out, Kaito Kid suddenly realized:
"I never understood why my dad made me look at gems under the moon, but now that you've explained it, I understand."
So I was cultivating chakra without even realizing it!
Also, I used to be surprised that I had never trained, but my skills and fighting ability are better than those of ordinary people who have trained. To be honest, I can take on several people by myself.
So all of this stems from our family's ancestral practice of looking at gemstones by gazing at the moon.
"idiot."
Conan stared blankly at the excited Phantom Thief Kid.
Chapter 179 Phantom Thief Kid: I haven't even started hacking accounts yet, and my real self has already been hacked? Damn it!
"Since you only know how to look at gems under the moon and don't understand the principles of cultivation, there's no point in keeping you outside."
"Kaito Kid, you're choosing between coming to the police station with me yourself, or being knocked unconscious and dragged in by me."
With his hands in his pockets, one foot on a chakra soccer ball, his glasses reflecting a white light, and a wicked smile playing on his lips, he gave Kaito Kid a subtle threat.
Having been shot down in mid-air by Conan multiple times during his takeoffs, Kaito Kid finally dared not take off head-on in front of the arrogant Conan.
So he gave an awkward laugh and said resignedly, "I'll go to the police station myself and turn myself in."
After saying that, he took out a walkie-talkie and spoke in the voices of both Officer Nakamori and Officer Chaki:
"Attention all units! Attention all units! Proceed immediately to the top floor of the Beika Hotel! Phantom Thief Kid is there..."
"On my orders, everyone go to the top floor of the Beika Hotel and capture the Phantom Thief Kid there..."
After Kaito Kid finished speaking in their voices, two exasperated voices came through the walkie-talkie in succession:
"I didn't say anything. That voice just now was Kaito Kid imitating me!"
"Stand still! That order wasn't given by me, it was given by Phantom Thief Kid!"
After performing his voice-changing trick in front of Conan, Kaito Kid wore a smug expression.
Although he couldn't defeat Conan, who had mastered chakra, in terms of physical strength, Kaito Kid far surpassed this perverted child in his ability to master various tricks.
Kaito Kid, who was basking in his own cleverness, was surprised to find that after witnessing his many talents, the young detective showed no surprise or envy whatsoever. Instead, he calmly remarked:
"I didn't expect that although your chakra accumulation is not very good, you have developed the ability to change your voice with chakra. You are better than me in this respect."
Ever since I witnessed his chakra voice-changing ability and chakra anesthetic needles, I've been trying hard to develop these two abilities, but unfortunately, I still can't find a way.
Now, you can tell me how you use chakra to change your voice and fly. As long as you teach me these two methods of chakra manipulation, I won't hold you accountable for stealing my chakra training methods without teaching me yours.
After hearing Conan's words, Kaito Kid pretended to be unwilling and retorted, "Who said I didn't teach you my chakra training method?"
Didn't I tell you my training method involved looking at the moon with a gem? Our deal is done; you can't try to extort me for the method of using chakra anymore.
Kaito Kid refuted him righteously, while thinking to himself: Singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to the moon, is that a cultivation method?
If that's really the case, I sang it to the moon twice, so why didn't I feel anything?
"Baka, I already knew about your method of cultivating by looking at gems under the moon."
I just don't understand why I can't use your cultivation method. I can only use the cultivation method of singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to the moon!
So since you didn't explain why you couldn't let me cultivate chakra using your method, the deal isn't complete. I need your voice-changing and flight abilities as compensation!
"No, our deal is done. Unless you teach me your target-locking soccer ball first, I won't teach you my flying or voice-changing abilities!"
"Damn it, you're trying to trick me out of my chakra soccer ball again? I've already fallen for your trick once. If you want to trade, fine, but you'd better tell me first this time!"
Kaito Kid doesn't even understand what chakra is, so how could he teach chakra voice changing and chakra flight techniques? He just wants to get some information from Conan for nothing, so he insists:
"No, I can't beat you. If you renege on your promise after I tell you, there's nothing I can do about it. You should go first this time."
"Baka, here we go again! This time you have to go first!"
Just then, as Conan and Kaito Kid were arguing about how to proceed with the next transaction, the rooftop stairwell door finally opened, and Inspector Nakamori, who had met him once before at the Suzuki Museum, rushed up the stairs with a group of police officers, panting heavily.
Upon seeing that the Phantom Thief Kid, dressed in a white hat, white shirt, white pants, and white cape, was indeed there, they immediately surrounded him.
Once there were more people around, he wiped the blood off his face, then Phantom Thief Kid sneered, took out several smoke bombs and threw them on the ground, once again enveloping the entire rooftop in smoke.
"Heh, you idiot! You still use that trick? Are you stupid?"
When Kaito Kid threw the smoke bomb, Conan, who was prepared, kicked the soccer ball at Kaito Kid again, then crossed his arms and waited in the smoke for Kaito Kid to be knocked down again and scream in pain.
Sure enough, immediately after Conan kicked the soccer ball, a scream was heard, followed by the noisy sounds of the police officers who were lost in the fog.
Judging from their incoherent noises, Conan knew they were completely lost; what incompetent cops!
Soon, after the smoke cleared, in addition to a new notice falling from the sky, a policeman who had been kicked unconscious by Conan was lying on the rooftop.
This young policeman didn't have the same physical abilities or resilience as Kaito Kid, so he collapsed unconscious on the ground.
"What?! He actually managed to break free of the Phantom Thief Kid's lock?! That's impossible?!"
Seeing this scene, Conan was both shocked and furious.
Then, looking up, I saw a white figure flying rapidly outwards in the distant sky.
"Damn it, stop right there! Don't be afraid!"
Enraged, Conan shouted and another chakra soccer ball appeared in his hand, expanding and crackling with lightning.
Then, to the astonishment of the police, Conan tossed the lightning-streaked soccer ball in his hand, then jumped up and volleyed it. The lightning-streaked soccer ball flew straight towards the white-clad Kid flying in the distance.
Soon, the lightning-fast soccer ball caught up with the white-clad Kidd, who was flying straight out, and crashed into him.
With a loud bang, the football and the white-clad Kidd exploded into the brightest fireworks in the night sky.
After the colorful fireworks faded, there was nothing left in the night sky except for a large number of police officers who stared in disbelief at the performance.
That's too brutal! That child is too brutal!
All he did was steal his chakra training method, and he wants to kill him? That's so vicious!
One of the young police officers, his cap pulled low, was sweating profusely and blood still lingering in his nostrils. He was filled with lingering fear and inwardly cursing Conan, this cruel child who didn't value his life.
As if hearing his son-in-law's thoughts, Nakamori Ginzo, recovering from his shock, quickly pulled out his walkie-talkie and shouted:
"All officers, immediately search the area 500 to 1000 meters directly east of the Beika Hotel. If you find Kaito Kid alive, rescue him at all costs!"
After giving his officers the search and rescue orders, Inspector Nakamori, his face grim, yelled at Conan:
"Did you put explosives in the football? If someone dies, you'll be a murderer!"
How can you be so vicious at such a young age?
Even if Kaito Kid is a thief and a criminal, he has never killed anyone in his crimes. He is a chivalrous thief. How could you blow him up with a bomb?
Where did you get this kind of explosive soccer ball that carries an electric arc, contains explosives, and explodes when it hits?
Which adult was so inconsiderate as to put such a dangerous football in your possession?
And who are you? Have I seen you somewhere before?
"Conan Edogawa, we met at the Suzuki Museum during the day."
"What? You're Conan! You're the serial killer Conan who recorded a confession video, but we couldn't do anything about you?"
"Oh, it's you. That's good then."
After saying this to Conan, Nakamori Ginzo picked up the walkie-talkie again and shouted excitedly:
"Everyone, everyone listen up! Go to the east side of Beika Hotel and look for Kaito Kid's body."
Once we find Kaito Kid's body, we'll have evidence to convict Conan the serial gunman!
