Chapter 295 Challenge and Appointment
The next day, Suzuki Jirokichi published his challenge to Kaito Kid in the newspaper.
"A note to Kaito Kidd: The jewel you've always wanted, the Sapphire Blue Miracle, is currently adorning the roof of my large museum in Shiodome. If you want it, come and grab it yourself..."
Maori Kogoro raised his head from the newspaper and complained speechlessly: "These rich people are really reckless in doing things."
However, Mao Lilan didn't think so, and looked quite expectant: "Don't you think this is interesting?" In the past, it was Kaito Kid who sent out preview letters, but this is the first time someone has issued a challenge to Kaito Kid!
Is it interesting? Conan stared at the comic in his hand with a smirk on his face.
He had already seen that Suzuki Sonoko's uncle was not as steady as her father Suzuki Shiro, and was even more out of touch than Suzuki Sonoko when it came to doing things.
"Please," Maori Kogoro curled his lips, "How could he possibly come?"
Mao Lilan smiled with narrowed eyes.
"He is a wealthy man who has made sufficient preparations and is confident that he would issue a challenge in such a high-profile manner. How could Kidd be so stupid as to fall into his trap?"
"But," Mao Lilan suddenly said, "I heard from Sonoko that Kid sent a message to Uncle Jiroji that he would keep the appointment not long after the morning paper came out. I have asked Sonoko to forward it to me."
"It seems that they are going to explore the terrain this Saturday."
Maori Kogoro widened his eyes in surprise: "Is it true? Let me see."
Mao Lilan took out her cell phone, opened the message and handed it to her father.
Conan also put down the comic book out of curiosity and came over.
Maori Kogoro took the phone and read the content: "Since it is your proposal, I will gladly accept it. I will take action at 4 pm on April 12. Please forgive me for going to explore the local terrain the night before.
Kaito Kidd."
There is also a cartoon avatar of Kidd below.
There is also a PS below the avatar: In order to be more appropriate to the name of Blue Wonder, I will walk over to get this gem.
Maori Kogoro couldn't help but complain: "What? He wants to walk over there? Isn't this just walking into a trap? This guy is still as arrogant as ever!"
Conan's expression was a little strange: This guy is indeed more pretentious than me.

Saturday is coming soon
Kamiya family
Miyano Shiho walked into the house carrying a bag of food and saw Yuya lazily lying on the sofa with a relaxed look on his face.
She walked over and sat down, poked his cheek and asked, "Why are you still here?"
Yuya stretched out, pulled her into his arms, sniffed her neck and said, "Where else can I be if I'm not here?"
Miyano Shiho asked in confusion: "Didn't you say that Kidd would go to explore the terrain tonight? You won't take care of it?"
Yuya rested his chin on her shoulder and yawned, "He doesn't seem to want me to intervene. He said that even if he catches Kaito Kid with help, he won't be able to win the championship. He has to catch Kaito Kid himself."
"Is it really okay?" Miyano Shiho said with some concern, "Except for you, I haven't heard of anyone else catching Kaito Kidd."
Yuya chuckled: "Of course, don't you see who I am? I am just Kaito Kidd, and I can control you at will?"
If You hadn't really intended to catch Kaito Kid, that guy would have gone in and operated the sewing machine long ago. How could he be so energetic and accept other people's challenges?
Miyano Shiho rolled his eyes and looked speechless. This guy became proud when someone praised him.
"It's okay," Youya pinched her soft face and said, "Didn't Kidd say that we're just going to explore the terrain tonight and won't steal the gems."
"Although this guy is not very capable, he has no problem keeping his promises."
"Is that so? Fine then." Since Youya said so, she stopped worrying about it. "Shall we have hamburger meat tonight?"
"No, I want to eat you~"
"Get lost, pervert!"

Shiodome Museum
Unlike Yuya's Yuya, Nakamori Ginzo is determined to catch Kaito Kid this time. He deployed police forces early, cordoned off the entire museum, and prohibited any unauthorized personnel from entering.
Outside the cordon, Maori, his daughter and Conan were standing there watching the fun.
"Officer Nakamori, you seem to be very motivated this time." said Ran Mouri as she looked at Ginzo Nakamori who was busy running around.
Conan had a laughing face. This police inspector, whose ultimate goal was to catch Kaito Kid, had suffered countless losses at the hands of the white-clad thief. Every time he appeared to be full of vigor, he was fooled by Kid every time.
"Ran!" Suzuki Sonoko's voice came from far away.
When Mao Lilan turned her head, she couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth slightly.
Suzuki Jirokichi was seen riding his 1500cc motorcycle, while Suzuki Sonoko was sitting on the side seat with Lupin in her arms.
Because the road had been cleared in advance by Ginzo Nakamori, the motorcycle drove to the front of the museum unimpeded.
"Ran, what happened? Has Lord Kidd shown up?" Suzuki Sonoko asked excitedly as she got out of the car.
Mao Lilan shook her head: "No."
Suzuki Sonoko was a little disappointed. She got off the motorcycle and looked around: "Hey, Yuu isn't here either?"
Without waiting for Mao Lilan to answer, she answered on her own: "Oh, by the way, Uncle Jirokichi said that he didn't want his help. What a pity, it seems that there is no way to take a photo with Mr. Kidd this time."
Mao Lilan forced a smile: "Well, Sonoko, you like Mr. Kidd like this, aren't you afraid that Mr. Kyogoku will be angry?"
Suzuki Sonoko blushed and argued, "That's different! I just admire Lord Kidd, but for Zhen...she is..." She stammered and couldn't utter the last two words.
Mao Lilan smiled mischievously: "What is it to Mr. Kyogoku?"
Suzuki Sonoko's face flushed: "No, nothing!"
On the other side, Nakamori Ginzo and Suzuki Jirokichi were arguing loudly.
"Hurry up and make those helicopters leave! Even the police helicopters can't get here!" Nakamori Ginzo roared.
Suzuki Jirokichi had no intention of agreeing: "There's no need for a police helicopter here. Didn't Kidd say he would walk over?"
Nakamori Ginzo was puzzled: "What are these helicopters used for?"
Suzuki Jirokichi replied as if it was a matter of course: "Of course it is used to shoot my autobiographical movie!"
Autobiographical movie... Ginzo Nakamori's face twitched. These rich people just like to do weird things. They are simply causing trouble for the police!
Suzuki Jirokichi was too lazy to pay attention to the policeman. He had heard that Nakamori Ginzo had been trying to catch Kidd for a long time but had not even touched a hair of the other party. Instead, he was fooled like a monkey.
If he didn't want to mess up his relationship with the police, he would have driven these people away long ago.
"Uncle Jiroyoshi, let me introduce you. This is Xiaolan's father, also the famous 'Sleeping Kogoro'." Suzuki Sonoko walked over with the Mori father and daughter and Conan.
Suzuki Jirokichi took a look. He already knew Mouri Ran and Conan, but this man with a mustache was the first time he saw him.
He smiled and said to Maori Kogoro: "Oh! It's you. I've heard of your name for a long time."
Kogoro Maori scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
