Could this person be Kuroba Toichi?

Qin Zhibo couldn't be sure just based on the momentary scene.

But every time he did it, black feathers were left behind, which was such a clear hint that this person at least knew that Kaito Kid was a member of the Kuroba family.

As for the reasons for doing this, there are only two.

One is to attract the people who killed Kaitou Kidd, namely those from the Beast Brotherhood. They knew that the Black Feather Thief was Kaitou Kidd 8 years ago.

The other is to attract the current Kaito Kid, also known as Kuroba Kaito.

If Kaito Kuroba sees this news, he might realize that Kaito Crow is similar to him, and then come to Las Vegas.

This may be a trap, but it may also be an opportunity.

If Kuroba Toichi can be found, he might be able to unlock the secret of Pandora, the Stone of Life.

In the last Crimson Tears incident, Kuroba Kaito would have given up on stealing the Crimson Tears if he hadn't seen the Beast Brotherhood following the beautiful leader of the Thaumaturgy Troupe.

This is entirely because Kuroba Toichi once told the young Kaito that Crimson Tears is an artificial gemstone.

The Kuroyu family's talent in gem identification is extremely high. It is impossible for them to be so ignorant that they can't tell the difference between man-made and natural gems.

Therefore, it is only possible that Kuroba Pirates lied for some purpose.

The target of this lie also includes his own son.

Intuition tells Qin Zhibo that Black Feather Pirates is likely to know the specific use of Pandora's Stone.

Of course, the premise is that he is still alive...

…

After standing by the window and thinking for a long time, Qin Zhibo decided to tell Kuroba Kaito about the existence of the Kaito Crow.

Although this may be a well-planned trap, it may also have a major relationship with Kuroba Pirates.

Danger and opportunity coexist.

Looking at the bright side, this person knows the true identity of Kuroba Toichi, and maybe he is the mysterious painter Pickman who used Kuroba Toichi as a model to create "The Phantom Thief under the Moon".

Since this person created this painting and Kuroba Toichi hung the painting on the wall, it might also be a clue.

"As for how to plan, it depends on your thoughts."

Qin Zhibo told the whole story on the phone, as well as the pros and cons of coming to "attend the appointment".

But Kuroba Kaito agreed without hesitation.

"I'll be there."

He was so eager to find his father that he didn't care so much. The last time Qin Zhibo analyzed it, it made him think that his father, Black Feather Toiyi, was still alive.

So even though the clue was still vague at the moment, he decided to give it a try.

"I will take the nearest flight to Las Vegas and make sure to reveal the identity of Phantom Thief Crow!"

Kuroba Kaito was filled with righteous indignation on the phone, but Qin Zhibo poured cold water on his hot head at the right time.

"There's no need to come here in a hurry. The Phantom Thief Crow has just completed a theft and won't do it again in a short time..."

"Well, I'll let you know when he has sex next time."

Kuroba Kaito thought about it and said, "Okay then, I'll wait for your news."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhibo breathed a sigh of relief.

I am not a person who likes to owe favors, so telling Kuroba Kaito the information this time is a way of repaying him for helping him disguise himself as Domon Yasuki in front of the police last time.

As a monster thief, it is extremely difficult for him to appear in front of the police and help the police.

But this is also related to Kuroba Kaito's character.

Although he is occasionally naughty and plays with the police in some evil ways, he is still kind-hearted in nature.

…

Continuing to watch TV to kill time, after waiting for almost an hour, Hondo Eiyu and Koizumi Anko woke up drowsily one after another.

By the time the two young men finished washing up and finished the buffet breakfast in the restaurant downstairs, it was almost noon.

It was at this time that Patrick, who had met Qin Zhibo yesterday, called, and the two made an appointment to meet again at yesterday's place.

It’s just that this time I have to bring my friend Yingyu with me.

"I understand, see you later."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhibo roughly understood the attitude of the other party.

Looks like he passed the test...

When he thought that this was the result of his video being shown to a group of people and being criticized, Qin Zhibo felt a bit like a guinea pig being observed.

Isn't it so troublesome to even join a black organization?

…

Back upstairs, Qin Zhibo told Yingyou the news of contacting Pany alone.

After learning that he was about to come into contact with the organization where his father and sister belonged, Hondo Yingyou was a little excited and full of hope for the future.

"Great! I must join them!"

"Don't get excited, be sure to stay steady!"

Just in case he got into trouble again in his excitement, Qin Zhibo held his shoulders to suppress his emotions.

The two put on their coats. Qin Zhibo wanted Koizumi Hongzi to go out alone and stay, but she said she also wanted to go outside to tell fortunes.

This is one of Koizumi Hongzi's personal hobbies. She sets up a fortune-telling stall on the street and tells fortunes to random passers-by.

Making money is secondary, the main thing is to satisfy her curiosity and desire for prying eyes, and to exercise the witch's inspiration to prevent her from being too slow.

Koizumi Hongzi also told Qin Zhibo's fortune, but the result was that Qin Zhibo's fate was shrouded in fog. How the person moves in the fog will affect the fog...

In human terms, even she can't figure it out.

…

Arriving at the cafe yesterday, Patrick arrived first this time.

Seeing Qin Zhibo walking in with Bentang Yingyou, he stood up from his seat with a smile on his face.

"Is this Yin Sen's child?"

"Hello, I am your father's colleague. You can call me Patrick."

When it came time to meet, Hondo Yingyou was still a little shy, and shook hands with the other person with a slightly stiff expression.

"Hello, my name is Yingyou."

"This is the first time we meet, please take care of me."

After shaking hands, Hondo Eiyu performed the traditional Japanese 90° bow, and his head almost hit Patrick.

But at the moment when they were about to hit each other, Patrick's upper body quickly retracted to avoid the headbutt attack.

When Bentang Yingyou straightened his back, he stood up straight again without leaving any trace.

"Come on, everyone, take a seat..."

"You can drink whatever you want, I'm treating you today."

…

After the three of them sat down, they each ordered a cup of different types of coffee in the shop.

Patrick still ordered an Americano, Yingyou ordered a cappuccino, and Qin Zhibo ordered the most expensive cat poop coffee in the store.

After the waiter who served coffee to the three of them walked away, Patrick took a sip of coffee, put down the cup again, and said, "Mr. Qin, we reviewed your information repeatedly yesterday and believe that the situation you described is true."

"In order to help Bentang Yinghai continue to complete his mission, we hope that you can join us and become a link between us and Bendang Yinghai and others."

What Patrick said is exactly the result of the discussion after yesterday's meeting.

Instead of allocating limited manpower to Japan now and taking the risk that the group may be wiped out at any time, it is better to use the existing manpower and resources.

Qin Zhibo chuckled at this and did not take it seriously.

"Join the CIA?"

"I'm sorry, I finally regained my freedom from the FBI's prison, and I have no intention of wearing another set of shackles."

"I help Lord Yin Sen and the others just out of morality between friends, just a kind of help."

Bentang Yingyou, who was sitting next to him, turned his head and glanced at Qin Zhibo, with a strange look in his eyes.

When he heard Qin Zhibo's rejection, Patrick was not in a hurry and replied with the same smile.

"Don't you want to know the truth?"

During yesterday's conversation, Patrick also learned about the content of Yin Sen's letter, which was told to him by Qin Zhibo himself.
To be continued...
