I’m the Pay Thief at the Winery

one year later. Singapore.

"It's really a good place for vacation." Nan Ling was sitting at a table by the side of the road with a cup of hazelnut latte in his hands. There was a lot of people around, people coming and going, and the bright sunshine was shining on everyone.

He was wearing a light blue long-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of white trousers. His hair was a little shorter than a year ago, and he was tied into a small braid. He looked very casual. He looked lazy and sleepy.

"Well... it's just a little hot." Nan Ling said with half-closed eyes.

"That should be your own fault for insisting on wearing long-sleeved trousers in summer." Kuroba Kaito said. He wore a baseball cap, an ordinary T-shirt and shorts, and he was dressed in a very low-key manner. In any case, he couldn't connect this ordinary high school student tourist with the internationally famous phantom thief Kidd.

"I need an air conditioner..." Nan Ling was drowsy, "Why did you call me near the equator in summer... You really know how to choose the time."

"Singapore is summer all year round—and it's not what I want to come." Kuroba Kaito muttered, "But if I don't come, I will be slandered as a murderer, and I can't use my identity to go abroad, so I have to Came to find you."

Some time ago, a murder occurred in the Marina Bay Sands Hotel in Singapore, and a blood-stained notice letter with the head of Kaitou Kidd was found at the scene.

Although Kaito Kuroba is a phantom thief who walks on the edge of the law, he still cherishes his reputation. He knew it was a trap, but he still had to come here.

"Ah, who told me that I am the best friend in the world." Nan Lingbang read, "I gave up all kinds of French food in Montreal, and when I received your call, I dropped everything and rushed over. —in such a hurry that I didn’t even get the Schwartz bacon sandwich I’ve been craving.”

"I'll treat you to dinner when I find out." Kuroba Kaito said quickly. Obviously, he has dealt with Nanling's broken thoughts several times.

After he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows again, "However, if I don't come to you, are you not going to see me all this time? Since that incident, we haven't seen each other for a whole year. "

"No way." Nanling said perfunctorily, "I'm traveling around the world, and it's not like you don't know."

The destruction of the organization was already a year ago. During this year, Nanling basically ran around the world - he first went back to Huaxia to find a place to live for three months, and soon he couldn't help but want to go out to play.

He has nothing else to do now, so he is going to go to Russia in the north from China, and stay in Moscow and St. Petersburg for about a month, eating, sleeping, traveling and traveling. Then went directly from Russia to the three Baltic countries, and then went south through Poland and Slovakia, stayed for a while in Hungary and Austria, and also stopped by the scattered small countries around.

After that, he spent a month in Germany, Britain, France, Italy and the Iberian Peninsula. Not long after he arrived in Canada, he was called to Singapore by Kuroba Kaito.

But for him, any vacation is a vacation, and Singapore is also a tourist country. He just regrets the cool summer in Canada.

"It's really a comfortable life." Kaito Kuroba said enviously, "It's so good..."

"As long as you just sell any of the gemstones you have acquired, you can also live this kind of life—of course, you won't do that." Seeing the disapproving eyes of Heiyu Kaito, Nan Ling immediately knelt down "It's really elegant, as expected of Kaitou Kidd."

"...When you say that, it always reminds me of the...that 'agent assistant' you sent to me at that time. He also said the same thing as me."

Kaito Kuroba showed an unbearable expression, "How can there be such a stunned young man beside you... It was already very difficult for me to sneak into the police with a person, and he would not act in a low-key manner—he was on that helicopter at that time. But it was almost exposed."

"You mean Antoine." Nan Ling understood. Then he also covered his forehead, and said uncertainly, "...well... what about him... stupid people are lucky."

That night—the night he killed Renya Karasuma, set the base on fire, walked into the burning building—of course he didn't die.

That's actually a trick - a magic trick.

As early as the twelve hours when Nan Ling asked Anderberg to help him cover up, he went to Kaito Kuroba once, and the latter agreed to help him escape by feigning death without much hesitation. As for the specific plan, it will be later—Nan Ling told Antoine before asking DK to go to Koizumi Hongzi at the origin of cyan, and handed over more detailed information to Kuroba Kaito for him to make a plan.

When he was at Kubado Central Hospital, there were countless opportunities for Kaito Kuroba to sneak in and consult with him.

The night Nanling had a headache and met Conan, he hung up Belmode's phone and found Kaito Kuroba squatting outside his window. They quickly discussed the plan, and Kuroba Kaito left without staying to prepare.

But then a little thing happened—

In the end, it was Nanling's suggestion to use the flame escape magic. At that time, Kuroba Kaito looked at him with an indescribable expression on his face, and asked him are you sure after struggling for a long time?

Of course Nan Ling knew why Kaito Kuroba would ask such a question. Because his father, Black Feather Pirates, died in a failed flame escape magic.

At that time, he just said that of course I am sure, you are Kaitou Kidd.

Later, when Nanling sent a signal from the base, Kaito Kuroba was the first person to notify. At that time, he and Karasuma Renye's program said that they had sent the location to the police, which of course lied to him.

The emails to the police and the FBI contained key information about the organization he had sorted out, and it was impossible to sort out and send out that pile of things in just one minute anyway. The email sent to the police was done after Nanling completed the procedure. This created time for Kuroba Kaito to sneak into the police.

Kaito Kuroba took Antoine to the police plane, and arranged the magic scene with Nan Ling while the investigation was scattered. Like the countless magic tricks he had done before, this escape magic was also perfectly completed.

As for Nan Ling's reason for feigning death, it is also very simple - he has no interest in squatting in the police station or being a tainted witness under surveillance. The easiest way to make Zhu Fu Jingguang and Jiang Guling give up the investigation is to feign death.

As for whether this will hurt their feelings...

That can't be helped. From the beginning to the end, Nan Ling only prioritized herself. What he wants is freedom, which conflicts with Zhu Fu Jingguang's purpose, so he can only achieve his own purpose, it's as simple as that.

Having said that, he is not a partner of justice. There are not so many good things that have the best of both worlds in this world.

"Actually, the little brother named Antoine is capable enough except for being a little stunned." Kaito Kuroba recalled, and then asked curiously, "Where is he now?"

"Another friend of mine opened a restaurant." Nan Ling is referring to DK here, "Antoine went to work as a security guard for him. Last fall, they organized a Halloween-themed event, and he was mainly responsible for scaring the scared people to the hospital."

Of course, they have other part-time jobs in private, so it goes without saying.

"That's really overkill." Kaito Kuroba joked.

Nanling picked up the coffee cup and took a sip slowly, "Speaking of which, Kudo Shinichi should be in New Zealand by now."

"I think I came to watch the karate competition with that Mori-san." Kaito Kuroba thought about it carefully, "Miss Suzuki's family also came with her, and..."

His expression suddenly became very bad - similar to his expression when he saw a fish.

"And that man named Kyogoku." He said angrily, "I always feel something is wrong..."

Nan Ling also showed a very subtle expression, "It's really a bit bad..."

It's not just Kyogoku Shin—he doesn't even want to see Conan again.

He left Japan immediately after his suspended animation. Not only did he not go back within a year, but he also paid little attention to the news there. He knew almost nothing about the current situation of his acquaintances.

As a famous detective, Kudo Shinichi was reported in the news from time to time, so Nan Ling also knew that he had recovered his identity, and solved many cases in this year.

As for Belmode... When Nan Ling was traveling in France, he once saw a back that was very similar to her. But he didn't confirm it. Maybe that was her, maybe it was just a phantom from the past.

Nan Ling just sat in the cafe on the street, watching the figure disappear into Fontainebleau on a light rainy morning with a black umbrella on his back.

The last news about Gin was brought to him by Kaito Kuroba—when he went to the police station, he heard them say: Although many people saw Gin fall, they failed to reach the cliff in the end. found his body.

I don't know if they have discovered anything this year.

As for the silver spoon... After Nan Ling sent him a large sum of money as promised, they didn't contact him anymore. Nanling sincerely hoped that he could get what he wanted now.

Where Nan Ling didn't pay attention, Zhu Fu Jingguang returned to the police, and Akai Shuichi, Judy and the rest of the FBI agents all returned to the United States after a diplomatic wrangling. The Miyano sisters chose to surrender after Miyano Shiho recovered her identity, and lived in Tokyo as tainted witnesses.

Except for thinking that Nanling was dead, they were all doing well.

"Hmm..." Nanling seriously thought about what to do if he really met Conan - Kudo Shinichi, and finally gave up thinking, "Act tonight?"

"That's right." Kaito Kuroba lifted the brim of his hat, and smiled slyly, "I have already found an opportunity to go to Liu Lyon's underground vault where the "Fist of Cyan Blue" is stored, and make a mark."

"Do you need my help?"

"No—uh." Kaito Kuroba subconsciously said the words of refusal, and then remembered that Kudo Shinichi and Kyogoku Shinichi were both troublesome characters, so he changed the subject, "...you should help to look at it."

His decision is right.

…

night. Liu Lyon Mansion. Kuroba Kaito was struggling to get up from the water, and walked out drenched. By the way, he also detonated the smoke bomb that he had buried in the public relations corridor in advance to disrupt the line of sight.

During the day, he found an opportunity to come to Liu Li'ang's mansion—the big gem "Fist of Cyan Blue" salvaged by Singaporean rich man Chen Zhonghan is now stored here. Liu Li used to be a criminal psychologist, but now he is the boss of the security company responsible for protecting the gems.

After Kuroba Kaito just arrived at the vault, he originally wanted to steal the gems by using his hands and feet during the day, but was stunned by Liu Lyon who was ambushing inside. Liu Lyon locked him in the vault and put water on him to drown him, but Kaito Kuroba escaped from the vault with a poker gun.

But after he was chased by the security guards from the corridor and jumped into the courtyard, he suddenly heard a slight movement in the smoke.

"Oh, Kyogoku is really there too." Nanling squatted on the top of a building, squinting one eye, and saw from the sniper scope that Kuroba Kaito and Kyogoku had already handed over—no, Said to fight against each other is a bit too flattering to Kuroba Kaito.

He sighed, and neatly fired three shots at Kyogoku Makoto's feet.

—Nan Ling is indeed not good at sniping, but that is compared with Qin Jiu. The roof of the building he was in was Kuroba Kaito's retreat route, very close to the annex. In addition, not only did he not aim at killing, but even the bullets he used were specially made, hitting people would at most break their bones.

Kyogoku was obviously taken aback by the sudden sniper attack, but Kaito Kuroba seized the opportunity and escaped smoothly with the hang glider equipped with propellers - God knows how it was done.

At the same time, Nan Ling suddenly froze.

There was a rush of footsteps behind him, followed by a dignified voice—then both stopped abruptly.

"There is actually someone? It seems that you are Kidd's helper—" Kudo Shinichi's voice sounded.

Nan Ling never expected to hear him speak again, but he was so familiar with this tone as if he just heard it yesterday, and he could almost make up his serious expression.

He sighed inwardly. Then he simply stood up on one hand, and turned his head with a mentality of "whatever you want to do".

"...Wait, you—!" Kudo Shinichi took a step back in shock, "You...Nanling!?"

Nan Ling stood on the edge of the building, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com demeanor and dress are relaxed, like a passerby who just came to travel.

Behind him is the gorgeous night scene of Singapore, where the bustling neon lights are shining brightly together, and the starlight is shining in the thick, silky night sky, which complements the glass curtain walls reflecting the lights on the skyscrapers. The traffic flows through the bright, brightly lit night like flowing bands of light. Colorful and gorgeous, colorful, beautiful like a dream.

He smiled at Kudo Shinichi, and his expression was not clear against the light behind him, like an overly real hallucination.

"Long time no see, detective." Nan Ling bowed gracefully. Whether it is demeanor or movement, they are exactly the same as Kaitou Kidd.

He raised his head, looked at Kudo Shinichi who looked shocked and bewildered, and narrowed his eyes slyly and mischievously.

"And, the current subordinate is named 'Lamb'—please give me your advice in the future."
