Part 11: Hear no evil

[Kuroba Kaito.]

Hearing his own name, Kuroba felt a chill. Although he knew it wasn't hard to find out the information , and even the detectives probably knew his background, this was different. He knew Snake, a fool willing to go to any lengths to complete their tasks. No matter how crude or crazy, he was ready to gamble. And this time, who knows how many innocent lives would get caught up in his gamble.

[I don't know you, why should I go with you?]

Of course I know you, what a fool. It's kinda hard to forget you after the chasing game on the train roof top( OVA). Kuroba smiled, taking a step back, noticing a few more pairs of shoes not far away.

[It's not up to you. How about this... come with us willingly, and we won't hurt you.]

This was outright kidnapping. Kuroba wasn't dumb enough to believe a kidnapper's words.

[Oh, and may I ask where you willtake me?] More and more organization members appeared, but Kuroba remained calm. If he could use this chance to infiltrate, it would be the perfect tribute to his father's memory.

[Don't rush, telling you would ruin the surprise.] Snake stepped closer, Kuroba stepped back, playing his part well.

At least, he couldn't let Snake catch him so easily.

He started running, weaving through alleys, his exceptional geographical skills guiding him through the maze-like old streets. Just as he was happily outmaneuvering Snake, a shrill cry pierced the air: [Mommy, Daddy! Help me!]

Kuroba turned sharply. A little girl, about nine years old, with twin ponytails and tear-filled eyes, was held by Snake, who had his hand over her mouth. Her backpack had fallen, scattering her school supplies. She struggled hard, and Snake responded with a punch.

[Ahhhh!]

[Shut up, or I'll kill you.] Snake snarled, satisfied as Kuroba stepped forward.

[They say your father had a kind heart. Looks like his son inherited it.]

[You knew my father?] Kuroba asked coldly.

[Of course, Kuroba Toichi, my unforgettable "friend to the death." Hahaha, kid, if you don't come with us, this little girl doesn't need to stay alive. Is her life more important, or your freedom? Think carefully.]

Damn Snake, resorting to threatening innocent lives when he couldn't match up. Without the girl, Kuroba might have infiltrated them, but now he had to save her.

[What do you want from me?]

[To draw out your dear father, of course. See what his precious son is worth. Think it over.] Snake's smugness made Kuroba grit his teeth.

[My father died eight years ago. Are you joking?]

[Kid, do you think your father's dead? Especially when he's so active? Hahaha, you probably don't know your father's true identity. He is... the Moonlight Magician, Kaito Kid.]

What a bunch of fools.

Snake didn't realize the boy in front of him was the Kaito Kid who had fooled them so many times. Kuroba worried for the assassins, but rescuing the girl was the priority. He had to confirm their connection with the detective organization.

[You... what nonsense are you talking about?]

[Don't believe me? Think, who else could be the genius magician Kaito Kid? Stop wasting energy, come with me. I have a lot to discuss with your father. Staying here is wasting time.]

The girl's cries became weak gasps, tears falling uselessly.

[Fine, I'll go with you. Let her go.]

A cruel glint flashed in Snake's eyes.
