Upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't I tell you? I'm not Kaito Kid, why should I stop?"
Koizumi Akako completely ignored Kuroba Kaito's words and continued solemnly, "When the ancient tower chimes twenty thousand times, the Demon of Light will descend from the eastern horizon to destroy the White Sinner..."
Upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba's lips twitched, and he said speechlessly, "What is all this nonsense? Akako, haven't you given up on your pointless fortune-telling yet?"
After hearing Kaito Kuroba's words, Koizumi Akako was not angry. She just smiled and said, "This is not some kind of divination. It is the language that the evil god Lu Xiufa told me."
"What? Road repair law?"
Koizumi Akako ignored Kuroba Kaito's bewildered words and turned to leave.
At that moment, Koizumi Akako's body trembled violently, and she looked in a direction with a terrified expression, muttering, "This aura is as deep and unfathomable as a hell, it's simply not something an ordinary person could possess..."
"Could it be that he, the mortal god prophesied in the Path of the Evil God... is coming..."
As she spoke, Koizumi Akako seemed to have thought of something and suddenly turned to look at Kuroba Kaito.
Kaito Kuroba, who was secretly wondering if Koizumi Akako was suspicious, was startled by this. He thought that Koizumi Akako had heard his mutterings and was now coming to settle scores with him.
Just as Kaito Kuroba was quickly thinking of a way to break the deadlock, he saw Akako Koizumi looking at him with an extremely serious expression and saying, "No matter what, you must stop this time."
"Otherwise, even I can't save you!"
Upon hearing Koizumi Akako's words, Kuroba Kaito looked utterly bewildered, stammering, "Huh? Akako, what are you talking about? What do you mean even you can't save me?"
"So, what did I do that I need you to save me?"
Because Koizumi Akako's voice was rather loud this time, it drew the attention of everyone around her, who all looked on with curiosity.
This included Aoko Nakamori, who was secretly angry.
They had no idea what Koizumi Akako was talking about.
Under everyone's gaze, Koizumi Akako trembled as she looked back in the same direction, muttering, "He's coming..."
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances, wondering who Koizumi Akako was referring to.
Before anyone could guess, Koizumi Akako continued, "That high school detective known as the modern-day Sherlock Holmes is coming for Kaito Kid!"
This time, everyone understood what Koizumi Akako meant.
It was precisely because they understood that they couldn't help but get excited.
"The high school detective known as the modern-day Sherlock Holmes, isn't that the big star Chen Anxia?"
"Really? Chen Anxia is coming?"
"Since it was Hongzi who said it, it must be true!"
"Oh my god, I never thought I would have the chance to get up close and personal with my idol. This is amazing!"
"Since Chen Anxia is here for Phantom Thief Kid, he will definitely appear at the clock tower in front of the auto show tonight!"
"I'm going to the clock tower tonight no matter what, and nobody can stop me!"
"Me too! I don't want to miss the showdown between the modern Sherlock Holmes and the modern Lu Ban!"
......
Nakamori Aoko exclaimed with delight, "If it's him, he'll definitely be able to catch Phantom Thief Kid, then the Clock Tower will be safe! That's wonderful!!"
As she spoke, Nakamori Aoko seemed to remember something, and dashed back to her seat, pulling out her phone to say, "Oh right, I'll call Dad..."
Seeing Nakamori Aoko's expression and reaction, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but feel a little jealous, and suddenly felt hostile towards Chen Anxia, whom he had never met before.
However, Kaito Kuroba knew Chen Anxia, and his expression turned serious. He thought to himself, 'Will he really come? He's not a big star; shouldn't he be very busy?'
'But if he really comes, then tonight's preparations might not be enough; we'll need to make some other preparations...'
......
Chapter 406 The Phantom Thief Kid's Trick Exposed!? (Please Subscribe!)
An old clock tower in front of Ekoda Ward Station in Tokyo.
Although the time announced in the Phantom Thief Kid's announcement letter has not yet arrived, many people and news media have already gathered here in advance, waiting for the arrival of the Phantom Thief Kid.
Of course, they cannot get close to the old clock tower.
The old clock tower has been occupied layer by layer by Ginzo Nakamori and his subordinates, who have laid a trap to capture Phantom Thief Kid.
At that moment, inside the old clock tower, Nakamori Ginzo, who was checking the preparations of all parties, suddenly received a call from his daughter.
As a doting father, Nakamori Ginzo answered his daughter's call without hesitation, saying, "Aoko, Daddy's busy right now. We'll talk about it when I get back..."
Before Nakamori Ginzo could finish speaking, Nakamori Aoko said, "Dad, please tell Chen Anxia for me that he must catch the Phantom Thief Kid and protect this old clock tower."
Without waiting for Nakamori Ginzo's reaction, Nakamori Aoko hung up the phone.
After Nakamori Aoko hung up the phone, Nakamori Ginzo suddenly realized what was happening.
Nakamori Ginzo stared blankly at the disconnected phone, bewildered and confused. He muttered to himself, "What is Aoko talking about? Why did she have Chen Anxia capture Kaito Kid? This is so baffling!"
Behind him, Nakamori Ginzo's subordinates, having heard his words, couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Inspector, didn't you just say that Chen Anxia would come to catch Phantom Thief Kid? Is that true?"
Hearing this excited voice, the other police officers on duty nearby couldn't help but start whispering and discussing among themselves.
"What? Chen Anxia is coming?"
"Really? Chen Anxia, who's known as the modern-day Sherlock Holmes, is coming here?"
"If Chen Anxia is here, then this time we're guaranteed to win."
"My wife is a huge fan of Chen Anxia. I wonder if we can ask him for an autographed photo later."
"Speaking of which, Inspector Nakamori is really impressive; he even managed to get Chen Anxia to come."
"Yes, Chen Anxia is a household name now, a big star. His schedule should be very busy. It's amazing that Inspector Nakamori could make him come all the way here."
"If I can get Chen Anxia's autograph this time, then Inspector Nakamori will be my idol from now on!"
"Me too, me too..."
......
"Is this the time for whispering? Get moving!"
"Remember this, all of you, be on your guard! Don't let Kidd find any loopholes!"
"Also, don't let me hear you talking about Chen Anxia again. Although he is famous, we are the experts when it comes to catching thieves."
"This time, we're going to rely on our own strength to capture Kidd in one fell swoop, understand?"
At Nakamori Ginzo's shout, the group of police officers jumped in surprise and shouted in unison, "Understood!"
As they spoke, the police officers sprang into action again, each taking on their assigned duties.
Seeing this, Nakamori Ginzo nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the phone that had been hung up, his brows furrowing slightly as he muttered, "Judging from Aoko's tone, it's as if she's certain Chen Anxia will come."
"But how did she know Chen Anxia would be here? A big star like Chen Anxia, how could she possibly have time to come here..."
Immediately, as if he had thought of something, Nakamori Ginzo's expression suddenly turned serious, and he continued to mutter, "This could very well be Kid's conspiracy."
“Kidd is a master of disguise. If he spreads the relevant information in advance and then impersonates Chen Anxia to approach the clock tower, he could very well succeed.”
"Moreover, given Chen Anxia's influence, her appearance would inevitably cause a stir at the scene, greatly increasing Kidd's chances of success..."
As he spoke, cold sweat broke out on Nakamori Ginzo's forehead, and his face showed a mixture of lingering fear and relief.
The scary thing is that if Kidd had actually succeeded, the unprepared police would have been caught off guard and thrown into chaos.
Fortunately, by considering this possibility in time, I was able to make the necessary preparations to deal with any potential situations.
Then, a confident smile appeared on Nakamori Ginzo's face as he muttered, "Phantom Thief Kid, you'd never guess I'd see through your trick..."
"Since that's the case, I'll play along and trap you like a turtle in a jar. Kidd, just you wait, hehehehe, hehehehe..."
The nearby police noticed Nakamori Ginzo's eerie laughter and felt a chill run down their spines, instinctively moving away from him.
Meanwhile, in Class 2-B of Ekoda High School, Kuroba Kaito, who was attending class and making various preparations, suddenly shivered, as if sensing an ominous feeling.
In his mind, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but recall what Koizumi Akako had just said, and his heart began to waver once again.
Yes, again.
This means that Black Feather Monster had already wavered before.
The reason for this is entirely due to Chen Anxia's existence.
Kaito Kuroba also has a destined rival.
This nemesis is not Ginzo Nakamori, who has always wanted to capture Kaito Kid, but Saguru Hakuba, a high school detective who is Kaito Kuroba's partner.
Kaito Kuroba had truly experienced Hakuba Saguru's abilities, and had even put himself in danger several times.
It's important to know that Hakuba Saguru's father is the Superintendent General of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, which is the highest-ranking officer in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
Through this connection, Hakuba Saguru was able to gain access to various cases and internal police information, thereby honing his detective skills.
To date, Hakuba Saguru has solved more than 500 cases in Japan, which gives an idea of his detective prowess.
But even this same Hakuba Saguru has repeatedly praised someone in private.
Kaito Kuroba clearly remembered that Saguru Hakuba had privately studied the case files of Chen Anxia on several occasions.
After each viewing, Bai Masheng couldn't help but marvel at Chen Anxia's insight, stating that it might rival that of a real Sherlock Holmes.
Being able to receive amazement and praise from his destined rival, Kaito Kuroba naturally began to take Chen Anxia seriously.
Through his own means, Kaito Kuroba also obtained the case files related to Chen Anxia's case-solving.
Through the case file records, Kaito Kuroba had to admit that even through just the written and photographic records, he could feel a strong sense of crisis from Chen Anxia.
This is the real reason why Kaito Kuroba's heart wavered.
But in the end, Kaito Kuroba remained steadfast in his convictions and decided to carry out the night's operation.
This operation holds special significance for Kaito Kuroba.
Thinking about it, Kaito Kuroba couldn't help but glance at Aoko Nakamori not far away, his eyes flashing, as if he was thinking about something.
Meanwhile, Chen Anxia and Hua Sheng finally arrived at Jianggutian District.
The gears of fate begin to turn at this moment.
