This is a pun on an event that happened in the DC timeline…do you remember it?
Chapter 5~Tanteidan's Smiles
A few days later…
"There's a haunted house which used to house a great magician! I heard about it from a high-school girl from Ekoda," Genta announced.
"Where is it?" Kaito asked. He seemed to like the idea of haunted mansions, judging from the fact that he was smiling like he'd just become drunk.
"It's here in Tokyo…it's a white stone building with two stone gargoyles on pedestals at the front. There's a black fence that looks exactly like the one around the Kudo mansion – that's the house that Subaru Okiya lives in now. The windows are slightly bigger than average."
No way…Kaito thought. That's a rather accurate description of my house! Kids don't just go around pillaging houses they think are haunted…do they?
As if to answer his question, tantei-kun told him, "They like to find haunted houses and find out what's going on inside them."
That night, Kaito crept out of bed. When he came to his house (or what was formerly his house), he snuck inside and set up some traps…he left a window open as he skulked back to Agasa's house.
When the Detective Boys came to the Kuroba mansion the next day, they didn't know what to expect. Probably not traps, though – especially not the kind that was similar to what Kid set up.
After discovering an open window, the Shonen Tanteidan silently let themselves in and explored a few corridors…and ended up coughing from a smoke bomb trap. He must have done this! Conan thought, staring hard at Kaito/Fuyuki as his vision blurred. I figured out that this was his house. I can see why he would like to keep his secrets safe…
After navigating some more of the house, the only section left was near a portrait of a man in a white suit, top hat and monocle. Just as the other members rushed forward to check it out, the mini detective led the Shonen Tanteidan away. There's something queer about that portrait of the original Kid, Conan added to the list of thoughts. However, Genta was ambling towards the others and accidentally set off a hidden glitter trap… [A.N. You may recognise the glitter trap; it's from Of Fire and Water by Nechangi.] Trying to get the adhesive glitter off themselves was definitely no easy matter.
Just as the Shonen Tanteidan escaped from the mansion (still covered in most of the glitter), Kaito had one last bombshell left – confetti bombs on a timer. The end result was enough to make every member laugh about their misfortune and how silly they looked, but their parents/guardians weren't pleased at all.
