this could only be his son, Kaito Kuroba. But I still keep my oath! "He nodded reassuringly to the youngster." Your secret is just as safe with me as it was your father's! "
Kaito let out a sigh of relief. A huge burden fell from his shoulders.
"But I am amazed that you let him get away with it too!" Yusaka turned to his son. "Yes!Even more! You even help him as I was able to overhear and I don't really understand that! "
Shinichi and Kaito exchanged an amused look. "Who says he'll let me get away with it?" laughed the thief. "I think your son is a bit more sophisticated than you. He's punishing me!"
Yusaka looked puzzled at the young men. Kaito Kuroba's words totally contradicted the impression he had made of the two of them, namely that they were friends. Shinichi enjoyed seeing his father speechless for a moment and therefore didn't say anything, just laughed ironically at him. He was only too happy to leave Kaito to explain. He felt the rivalry that existed between the two extremely clever people and of course he was on Shinichi's side.
"Your son has taken a path that you would probably never have come across!" laughed Kaito. "Because you know? Actually, the Kaito Kid wouldn't exist anymore.I just wanted to find my father's murderer. But now your son is blackmailing me and I have to go on! "
Shinichi's father became more and more stunned. That didn't go with his son at all. "But ..." he stuttered. "How so?"
Now Shinichi took over the explanation. "Very simple! I let my connections play and now he's stealing on behalf of our government from criminals who would not be trusted to do so in order to obtain evidence against them!"
"Such a kind of active remorse!" added Kaito with a smile. Do you understand now why he is helping me to keep my secret? "
Yusako sank into an armchair and took a deep breath. He had to process this news first. His son had never been able to surprise him like this. Was he getting old and did Shinichi surpass him with his combinations? He honestly had to admit that such an idea would never have occurred to him.
Meanwhile, Shinichi gave Kaito an envelope. "There is your first assignment!I wish you luck!"
He grabbed it and said goodbye quickly. Here in the presence of Yusaku Kudo, he didn't want to look up what it was about, but rather went home.
At home he put the envelope on his desk, paused between the table and the chair, opened it and flipped through the files quickly. Suddenly he turned pale, took a step back from the envelope, stumbled backwards over the chair, fell in, causing it to tip over backwards and fall over. He hit the back of his head hard on the floor and night fell around him.
