Due to request and me having a bit too much thinking time, here's the Monarch Heist.

Akako dropped by Kaito's house with homework and another dose of potion for him. However, Kaito was nowhere in sight: he was back at the dry cleaner's, working another shift for a particular purple dress that he required for the heist.

Departing for home, she picked up a newspaper and it had on the front page:

Come and see me in the spotlight.

I will glide in like a monarch butterfly

As I grace a pop idol's stage tonight.

Kaito KID (Kid doodle)

P.S. You might hear a pin drop.

Whatever Kaito was thinking when he wrote that P.S., he must have been crazy…

Later, Kaito was setting up the stage for Yoko Okino's concert, disguised as a roadie. Ginzo Nakamori was yapping out orders and the occasional 'Kid won't get away' as usual - and then he spotted Kaito.

"Haven't I seen you before?" he asked, sizing her up.

She shook her head, repositioned her blue cap and kept moving the equipment. While Nakamori wasn't noticing, she switched one of the security cameras with one of hers…

Kaito's face lit up as she spotted Conan amongst the crowd on his laptop screen. I made the riddle too easy, he thought.

She was in the female bathroom, waiting for the right moment to ambush Yoko Okino.

Just then, he heard her high heels clopping on the floor. Lifting the 'out of order' sign off the toilet door, he lay in wait for his target…

"Yoko's normally on time for the start of her concerts," Kogoro moaned. "Where is my lovely Yoko when I need her?" This really piqued Conan's interest. Being late on the day of the Kid heist would mean…

The spotlight came on all of a sudden and Yoko Okino, dressed in purple from bow to heels, stepped out from behind the red curtains. Conan snuck closer to the stage as she launched into her first song.

Pulling out his phone, he hastily called Nakamori-keibu as Kogoro. "Where's the gem at the moment?"

"It's still here. Yoko will receive the Monarch brooch very-" Conan zoned out. A brooch, as in a pin? 'You might hear a pin drop', indeed.

Glancing up at the stage, some guy in a fancy suit presented Yoko with the brooch. When she picked it up, smoke surrounded her…

Kid was now where Yoko was, and he had the brooch on as he disappeared into the crowd. "Follow him!" Nakamori yelled angrily to his officers. Some rushed outside to see whether he had gotten away on his hang-glider.

"We can't find him anywhere," they reported. Unfortunately, Conan couldn't find him anywhere either.

What a brilliant plan, for Kaito to escape as a female officer and rush outside with the other officers who had done so! Kaito, you are a genius, he mentally commented as he peered around the side of the building he was hiding behind. No detective could ever find you if you could pull that off regularly! As he thought this second bit, he switched his police uniform with his normal clothes, and then gulped down the second bottle of potion.

The next day, Conan was mulling over the loss against Kaito Kid when Kaito passed by. "How would I know that Kaito would choose to disguise as Yoko Okino?" he muttered as the teen overheard.

The truth was when Kaito had appeared as Kid, he had to bind his chest really tightly so as not to reveal the gender change. This resulted in his chest hurting even now…and as the spiky-haired teen continued to walk away from the chibi tantei, he massaged the part of his body where it still hurt.
