After the battle, Kaito explained to his teammates and mentors why was he trying to steal the paintings. Someone called him with a voice changer and demanded him to steal the Ashiya painting. Another reason, which was personal, was that Konsuke Jii, his confidant and assistant, had in his youth worked in the mansion where the painting was kept and thought to be destroyed, and where he witnessed Kiyosuke Azuma rescuing it at the cost of his own life, thereby incidentally proving that it is the real painting instead of a replication.

And since this was the painting that was on the plane, where Dan had stopped the bomb, then that means the culprit is targeting this painting specifically.

"But why would anyone want to go to extreme measures to destroy a painting?", Static asked confused.

"Static, some people murder others just because they feel like it for no reason at all.", Saguru said solemnly making Static feel depressed, like a kid who has been told Santa wasn't real.

"That's awful...", He mumbled with Akira patting his head in comfort.

"A sad reality, but true.", Kaiden said with a faraway look, remembering the battles and wars he had been in, including the Eden Scorch War.

"Tell me about it.", The four detectives in the team chorused.

"We will continue our roles as they are. I'll continue being Conan and I'll either be with Ran and Occhan, or will be with Agasa and the Detective Kids. Ran will be with me.", Shinichi said before he looked at Masumi, "Sera, If I come with the Kids, I need you with me, this may be a good chance to talk to Haibara.".

"She'll probably spit in my face.", Masumi shrugged as she recalled how Haibara glared at her when she first saw her, "But I'll do my best.".

"Kyogoku, you're with Sonoko. We might expect the Organization to appear since they are after Kaito, and they might be a lot since Dan is here.".

"Funny, Sonoko-san actually texted me asking me to be with her during the whole thing of...", Makoto trailed off as he frowned, "Kid-sama...". He glared at Kaito who started laughing nervously.

"Oi... I didn't tell her to like me... And I did tell you she cares about you more than me when we first met...", Kaito explained. 'First Ran, then Masumi, now Kyogoku.... Do I have a thing for people who can easily kill me?!', He thought.

"Pretty sure if Sonoko found out that Kaitou Kid is the same boy who used to do annoying pranks on her during childhood, her opinion would change 720 degrees, and she'll try to kill you.", Ran said thoughtfully making Kaito pale.

'Ran, Masumi, Kyogoku, Sonoko, Aoko, Akai Shuichi, Haneda Shukichi, Mary Sera....', Kaito thought as he counted on his fingers, 'I think I should start making a list of people who want to kill me... I have a feeling the list will grow...'.

"Anyways, Kuroba will continue... doing his thing.", Shinichi rolled his eyes in exasperation, "Hakuba and Hattori, stay with the seven samurai. You might find something interesting with them, especially with Dan around. And Charlie is being weird.".

"Why do I have ta be wid him?", Heiji grumbled making Saguru roll his eyes.

"Trust me, I don't like it either.", Saguru mumbled making the Blue Ranger glare at him.

Nothing happened after that except a few days later. During these days, Kaito and Saguru joined the Rangers during their training. Saguru refused to be taught by Heiji however, and the latter didn't want to teach him, both disliking each other for an unknown reason no one understood, but Kaiden had an idea.
