"After that, all we have to do is enjoy this guy's tricks and see how he's going to steal the clock from the clock tower right under my nose and in front of everyone!"

Inside the clock tower, Kaito Kid, disguised as a police officer, listened to Shinichi Kudo's voice coming through the walkie-talkie. His gaze narrowed slightly, and he muttered to himself, "Shinichi Kudo, is he that high school detective like Hakuba?"

"I really didn't expect that Chen Anxia didn't come, but he did."

As he spoke, a slight smile crept onto Phantom Thief Kid's lips, and he muttered, "I'm just sorry, but there's no way you'll catch me tonight..."

Before Kaito Kid could finish speaking, a young and magnetic male voice came through the walkie-talkie again, saying, "Kudo, your plan is excellent."

"But there's one prerequisite: that Phantom Thief Kid really wants to steal the clock tower's clock..."

Upon hearing this voice, Shinichi Kudo's body jolted violently, his face showing shock and disbelief.

Even Inspector Megure, who had been maintaining his composure, couldn't help but tremble upon hearing that familiar voice, muttering, "That voice is..."

Upon hearing this voice, Phantom Thief Kid's heart skipped a beat, his eyes narrowed sharply, and he muttered, "Hey, who is this guy? Judging from his words, does he know the purpose of my actions tonight?"

At the same time, Nakamori Ginzo, who was already quite annoyed by Kudo Shinichi's words, couldn't help but directly question after hearing this voice, "And who are you?"

On the other side, Chen Anxia, ​​who was in the crowd, couldn't help but smile slightly after hearing what Nakamori Ginzo said.

People around Chen Anxia had long heard the voices coming from the walkie-talkie in his hand and were already very curious about him.

They didn't know Chen Anxia's identity, and they were even more confused as to why Chen Anxia would have a police walkie-talkie.

Amid their curious gazes, Chen Anxia slowly spoke, "My name is Chen Anxia, ​​and I am a detective!"

Upon hearing Chen Anxia's words, everyone around Chen Anxia, ​​including Nakamori Ginzo, the police officer listening on the walkie-talkie, and Kaito Kid, were stunned, their faces displaying expressions similar to those of Shinichi Kudo and Inspector Megure.

The next moment, the people around Chen Anxia completely erupted.

"Hey, did you hear that? He said he's Chen Anxia!?"

"My God, I thought it was just a trick by Phantom Thief Kid, but I didn't expect Chen Anxia to actually appear!!"

"He was wearing a hat, a mask, and glasses, so we couldn't see his face clearly, and we couldn't be sure if he really was Chen Anxia, ​​right?"

"Are you stupid? Apart from a big star like Chen Anxia, ​​who would pretend like this in everyday life?"

"Yes, Phantom Thief Kid usually just changes his face directly, he doesn't try to hide himself like this."

"So, does that mean he really is Chen Anxia?"

......

Amid the commotion, Chen Anxia continued into the walkie-talkie, "After arriving in Ekoda Ward, I became curious about why Phantom Thief Kid would choose this old clock tower as his target."

"After all, this kind of landmark building is not quite in line with his previous targets, which seems a bit unusual."

"So I went to inquire about information, and to my surprise, I actually found out some interesting information."

Chen Anxia's words seemed to have a magical power, gradually quieting the previously boisterous crowd, who began to listen attentively to Chen Anxia's reasoning.

Not only them, but also Nakamori Ginzo, Kudo Shinichi, Inspector Megure and others temporarily forgot everything else after hearing Chen Anxia's words and wanted to hear Chen Anxia's reasoning.

Only one person started to panic, and that person was Kaito Kid.

At this moment, Phantom Thief Kid's pupils flickered slightly. For some reason, he felt uneasy about what Chen Anxia was about to say, muttering to himself, "Hey, hey, hey, no way, Chen Anxia actually came..."

"Damn it, why would a big star like him come here instead of filming movies..."

Chen Anxia, ​​of course, couldn't hear what Phantom Thief Kid said, nor did he stop his reasoning, and continued, "Among these pieces of information, two caught my attention."

"The first piece of information is that the owner of the clock tower plans to relocate the clock tower in the near future."

"The second piece of information is that after learning about the clock tower owner's relocation plan, the authorities had considered purchasing ownership of the clock tower, but abandoned the idea because the price was too high."

Upon hearing Chen Anxia's words, everyone except Watson and Phantom Thief Kid was stunned, not understanding what Chen Anxia's two pieces of information had to do with Phantom Thief Kid.

Even Shinichi Kudo didn't immediately connect these two pieces of information with Kaito Kid.

But they all knew that Chen Anxia's deductive show had only just begun.

Chapter 411 The Great Terror of Phantom Thief Kid, the Shadow Brought by Chen Anxia! (Please Subscribe!)

"The Phantom Thief Kid first appeared in Paris 18 years ago, and in the following ten years, he committed crimes in major countries around the world."

"However, what's strange is that eight years ago, Phantom Thief Kid suddenly disappeared, as if he had vanished into thin air."

"Just when people were gradually forgetting about Kaito Kid, he suddenly reappeared in Japan and committed his first crime since his comeback in Ekoda Ward."

"After that, he committed several more crimes in the Tokyo area. Don't you find that strange?"

"Why would Kaito Kid, who is active internationally and first appeared in Paris, make a comeback in Ekoda Ward, an island nation, eight years later?"

"Also, why did Kaito Kid's activities become limited to Japan, and even to Tokyo, after his return?"

Everyone was stunned after hearing Chen Anxia's reasoning, including Watson and Shinichi Kudo.

They hadn't even thought about this problem.

Because Kaito Kid is a well-known thief active internationally and has a history of committing crimes in Japan, they didn't think much of it even if he committed another crime in Japan, and even considered it a matter of course.

However, after Chen Anxia brought it up, they thought about it carefully again and felt that this matter was indeed somewhat unusual.

During this, both Watson and Shinichi Kudo couldn't help but brainstorm, asking themselves, "Why? Why would the Phantom Thief Kid, who has been missing for eight years, choose an island nation as the stage for his comeback? Is there some special reason?"

As for Kaito Kid himself, he was terrified by Chen Anxia's deduction.

Kaito Kid never expected that Chen Anxia would be able to see such details.

This only amplified Kaito Kid's unease, causing him to mutter, "Just how much has he deduced?"

As Kaito Kid muttered to himself, Chen Anxia continued, "Think back to why Kaito Kid disappeared for eight years without warning."

"Is it a retirement from the business, or is there some reason that forces them to disappear?"

"If he had retired from crime, why would Phantom Thief Kid suddenly make a comeback?"

"If Kaito Kid had to disappear for eight years for some reason, what caused his sudden disappearance? And what caused his sudden return?"

After speaking, Chen Anxia paused, giving everyone some time to accept and digest the information.

Then, Chen Anxia's lips curled up slightly, and he said, "What follows is just my reasoning, without any direct evidence."

"However, my reasoning is able to connect all these issues."

"Before I begin my reasoning, let me make an assumption: the Phantom Thief Kid who first appeared in Paris 18 years ago is not the same person as the Phantom Thief Kid who has reappeared in Ekoda Ward today..."

Upon hearing Chen Anxia's hypothesis, everyone was stunned, their faces showing shock and disbelief.

Among them, the most shocking is Nakamori Ginzo, who has always wanted to catch the Phantom Thief Kid.

Unable to control his wildly fluctuating emotions, Nakamori Ginzo exclaimed into the walkie-talkie in shock, "What did you say? The Phantom Thief Kid from 18 years ago and the Phantom Thief Kid now are not the same person? How is that possible!?"

Chen Anxia did not answer Nakamori Ginzo's question. Instead, Kudo Shinichi replied in a heavy and complicated tone, "That is very likely. The possibility of Anxia's assumption is very high."

"If the Phantom Thief Kid from 18 years ago and the Phantom Thief Kid now are not the same person, then all the questions Anxia just raised can be answered."

"In other words, why did Phantom Thief Kid choose to suddenly reappear after disappearing for eight years?"

Why choose Ekoda Ward in an island nation as the stage for your comeback?

Why has the scope of their activities begun to be limited to island nations?

Ginzo Nakamori is no fool to have risen to the position of police inspector.

After Shinichi Kudo's explanation, Ginzo Nakamori suddenly understood and exclaimed with a look of realization, "You mean, the Phantom Thief Kid that's been appearing lately is very likely from Japan? Or even a resident of Ekoda Ward?"

Upon hearing this, Shinichi Kudo replied, "Eh, that's right. If there really are two Phantom Thief Kids, then there's a high probability that the current Phantom Thief Kid is a resident of Ekoda Ward in Japan."

"Not only that, this Phantom Thief Kid is also very likely to be connected to the real Phantom Thief Kid. If he were just a simple imitator, it would be impossible for him to imitate him so well."

After a slight pause, Shinichi Kudo continued, "Actually, it's not that difficult to verify this hypothesis."

"By collecting the past criminal records of Phantom Thief Kid and comparing them with the current criminal records of Phantom Thief Kid, and conducting a professional analysis of his behavior, methods, etc., we should be able to draw a conclusion."

As he spoke, Shinichi Kudo couldn't help but ask into the walkie-talkie, "Am I right, Ansha?"

After hearing Shinichi Kudo's words, Chen Anxia smiled and nodded slightly, replying, "Well, as long as there are professionals to conduct professional analysis, it is still easy to verify my hypothesis."

At this moment, Nakamori Ginzo's expression had become extremely solemn. The more he thought about this hypothesis, the more likely it seemed to be true.

Without hesitation, Nakamori Ginzo took out his phone and dialed the Metropolitan Police Department's internal number, arranging for someone to verify Chen Anxia's hypothesis.

At that moment, amidst the shocked and stunned expressions of the crowd, Chen Anxia continued his reasoning.

"Tonight's actions by Phantom Thief Kid can also provide some evidence for my hypothesis."

"The old clock tower that Phantom Thief Kid targets is 50 years old, while Phantom Thief Kid first appeared 18 years ago."

"In other words, the old clock tower has existed for a much longer time than Phantom Thief Kid."

"So why did Phantom Thief Kid choose this old clock tower, which is different from his usual targets, as it was about to be relocated?"

"Could it be that Phantom Thief Kid is really only after the artistically valuable short hand on the clock tower and the diamond set in it?"

"If so, then the timing is really too coincidental."

"But if not, then there is only one reason why Phantom Thief Kid would choose this old clock tower as his target."

"That is to stop the relocation plan of the old clock tower."

As he spoke, Chen Anxia's deep eyes looked at the old clock tower, and he continued, "Then why did Phantom Thief Kid want to stop the relocation plan of the old clock tower?"

There is only one answer.

"This old clock tower holds special significance for Phantom Thief Kid."

"Now, everyone, please think about why this old clock tower holds special significance for Phantom Thief Kid?"

"You know, before this comeback, there was no record of Phantom Thief Kid ever appearing in Ekoda Ward..."

Inside the old clock tower, Phantom Thief Kid, disguised as a policeman, was already drenched in cold sweat. He felt as if an invisible pair of eyes were watching his every move, and he was enveloped in a great fear.

Although Phantom Thief Kid had already witnessed Chen Anxia's terror through case files, this was his first time experiencing it firsthand.

This first encounter left an indelible mark on Kaito Kid, who couldn't help but mutter to himself, 'This guy... he's truly terrifying!!'
