Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 853 20 years ago
Before this, Mitarai Zongxu had never thought about the means that could defeat him. Apart from the content he left in the kendo notebook, there were other ways to defeat him.

But now, Mitarai Zongxu was a little shocked, he never thought that he would lose to the person in front of him like this——

Originally, he thought that he dared to confront him so boldly because he knew something from Kyousuke, but it seems that he really has the chance to win.

In this regard, as a samurai, even his weapons were damaged by the opponent, he was completely defeated, so he had nothing to say, so he nodded silently to Gao Yuan, and then sighed, as if agreeing with Gao Yuan, Affirmed:
"Okay. I am convinced. If you have any questions, just ask. As long as I know, I will tell you."

However, regarding the current situation, Mitarai Rui on the side only felt that the situation had progressed too fast just now, and before he could react to what was going on, the two people in front of him had already ended the fight.

For a while, Mitarai stood aside, not knowing what to do. It seemed that she should care about the injuries of the two, but looking at them, they seemed to be okay, which made Mitarai confused.

Faced with such a situation, before the side effects of "power" took effect, Gao Yuan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he heard what Mitarai Zongxu said, for fear that the other party would really regret it.

but……

Even if things are going well, the things that have been arranged in advance still have to be carried out as usual——

"Ah, what a wonderful duel!"

At this moment, with a burst of applause, a white figure appeared from nowhere, just like this, appeared in the cave——

With a white top hat and a pair of monocles on his face, he couldn't see his face clearly.

He was wearing a white suit with a white cloak behind him.

While applauding, while pacing——

Kaitou Kidd said so in a slightly appreciative tone.

"Phantom Thief Kidd?"

Confused, with Gao Yuan's position, he could directly see the other party's appearance first, Gao Yuan naturally said the other party's name first.

In this regard, Mitarai Zongxu and Mitarai Zui turned their heads to look at Kaitou Kidd who appeared here, and both felt that things were strange——

"According to the notice letter, 'Midnight Tomorrow'... You shouldn't have to wait until tomorrow..."

Gao Yuan was the first to tell the strangeness of the matter.

Hearing this, Kaito Kidd replied flatly with a smile on his face:
"You said that notice letter..."

Stretching out his hand to pull the brim of the hat, Kaitou Kidd couldn't help chuckling and said:
"If I say, where I put it when I went to that villa last time, that is, the night before yesterday, will it be understandable?"

"The night before..."

Hearing this, Gao Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he responded:

"That is to say, since we just saw the notice letter, we thought that 'midnight tomorrow' refers to the midnight of tomorrow night, but in fact, because the notice letter was placed there one day in advance, the so-called 'tomorrow' Midnight', that's it!"

Regarding this, Kaitou Kidd clapped his hands and replied proudly:

"Yes, Mr. Detective."

Said, Kaitou Kidd seemed to ignore Gao Yuan and the others, and walked straight towards the shrine——

"Then, according to the forecast..."

"Don't think about it!"

Immediately, Mitarai Zongxu saw that the Kaitou Kidd was going towards the shrine, so he immediately acted to stop the other party's actions.

but--

After taking a step, the thigh that was hit hard by Gao Yuan just now produced severe pain, which made Mitarai Zongxu's movements hesitate a bit.

In this regard, taking advantage of the opponent's moment of hesitation, the Kaitou Kidd dodges, escapes the opponent's obstruction, and directly arrives in front of the shrine, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, turning his head to look at Mitarai Zongxu behind him——

"Mr., just went through such a contest, you'd better pay attention to rest first, don't hold on!"

As he said that, Kidd, the Phantom Thief, reached out his hand quickly, and took a cross-shaped jewelry inlaid with gemstones on top of the urn placed on the shrine——

"Ah, but, thank you very much for leading the way. The thing I want is indeed here..."

Faintly, he took the cross-shaped jewelry inlaid with gems and touched it in his hand. Kaitou Kidd put this jewelry in front of his eyes. After careful observation, he seemed very satisfied. He nodded and was about to prepare leave.

In this regard, facing such a situation, Mitarai couldn't help but hurried forward to stop Kaito Kidd from leaving——

"No, take my sister's..."

However, before he finished speaking, Kaito Kidd took out a magic pistol from his pocket and shot towards the top of the cave——

I saw that a retractable rope shot out from the muzzle of the magic pistol, and a gripper grabbed the top of the cave like this.

Then, the Kaitou Kidd jumped up, and with the help of the rope shot from the pistol, he jumped up, and from mid-air, he bypassed Mitarashiri, and he was about to go towards the entrance of the cave——

Seeing this, Mitarai Rui's expression changed drastically, as if he didn't know what to do.

"Xiao Rui, get out of here!"

But at this moment, Mitarai Zongxu resisted the pain in his leg, worked hard, and stomped hard, paying attention to the trajectory of the Kaitou Kidd jumping in mid-air, predicting the opponent's landing point, and took the opportunity to intercept, and Mitarari's current position is on the path he wants to move forward.

It was said that Mitarai Mizui was at a loss, but after hearing Mitarai Zongxu's words, he immediately took action and immediately dodged from his original position to facilitate Mitarai Zongxu's progress.

But in the same way, when Mitarai Zongxu's voice reminded Mitarai Zui, Kaitou Kidd also noticed Mitarai Zongxu's plan. After realizing the other party's intention, Kaitou Kidd continued to operate the magic pistol in his hand Let the rope continue to be shortened by half in the middle, so that Kaitou Kidd's own jump trajectory has undergone a major change, and Mitarai Zongxu's prediction has directly failed.

At the same time, due to the effort just now, Mitarai Zongxu's leg, which was originally injured by Gao Yuan, was in pain, and it was difficult to use his strength again for a while.

Regarding this, Mitarai Zongxu saw that the Kaitou Kidd was about to leave with the gem, his eyes were wide open, and he looked at the Kaitou Kidd who was about to run out of the cave, but he didn't know what to do for a while——

However, at this time, Gao Yuan, who had not acted for a long time, finally took action at this time.

I saw that he threw a fragment of the blade in his hand directly towards the Kaitou Kidd, and aimed at the part hanging from the top of the cave with the rope——

No matter how Kaitou Kidd controls the length of the rope, the part fixed to the ceiling cannot be changed.

Therefore, relying on the sound of the blade fragments coming through the air, I noticed the strange Kaitou Kidd. Facing Gao Yuan's sudden attack, I had no choice but to put away the part fixed on the cave roof first, and took the opportunity to shake my body , swaying to a place where you can rely on the stone wall of the cave, and then step on the stone wall with both feet, relying on the stone wall to borrow strength, you will make a further leap to jump out of the cave——

However, the second blade fragment flew towards Kaitou Kidd's face this time!

With keen perception, the Kaitou Kidd did not jump out of the cave as originally planned, but pushed forward, causing his whole body to jump backwards, and finally landed and returned to the ground near the shrine——

Two flying shots of blade fragments forced the Kaitou Kidd back into the cave, which made Mitarai Zongxu nod secretly, admiring Gao Yuan's way of using weapons without restraint.

At the same time, Kaitou Kidd seemed to pay attention to Gao Yuan who had been leaning on the stone wall since just now, and praised:
"Oh, Mr. Detective, you are very skilled."

"Phantom Thief Kidd."

In this regard, Gao Yuan showed a smile on his face, and said lightly:
"Since you're here, don't leave in such a hurry... Why don't you have some clues about how you know about this gem, so talk to us—"

"After all, no one in Mitarai's family knew of the existence of this gem from the very beginning!"

"Oh, do you actually care about such things?"

Hearing Gao Yuan's inquiry, Kaito Kidd seemed a little surprised that Gao Yuan asked such a question first, and made a sound of surprise.

But immediately, I saw Kaitou Kidd smiling, as if he was a little helpless, and responded:
"Well, since you want to know, it's okay to tell you."

As he said that, Kidd picked up the cross-shaped jewelry inlaid with gems in his hand, looked at it seriously, and then explained it very calmly:
"Do you know 'Tears of Moonlight'? It was a gemstone that appeared at an auction about six years ago. But it is said that the gemstone inlaid on 'Tears of Moonlight' was suspected to be a gift from a rich man more than 20 years ago. A gift for a certain movie star, and with the death of that movie star, there will be no whereabouts of this gem..."

Speaking of this, Kaitou Kidd changed the subject and couldn't help but look helpless:
"Of course, this matter is far from being tested. Even the whereabouts of the 'Tear of Moonlight' six years ago cannot be determined. However, it happened to be about 20 years ago...

"Well, at least it is certain that after the movie star passed away, in an auction in the United States, this gemstone jewelry appeared in the lot, and the gemstone inlaid in it was suspected to be given by the rich man as rumored. That movie star's jewel. Moreover, this cross-shaped jewel was photographed by the younger brother of the chairman of the Mitsubishi Group at that time..."

Saying so, Kaitou Kidd looked at Mitarai Zongxu and affirmed:

"That's right, that's the old gentleman in front of me."

Saying so, Kaitou Kidd paused, and then continued to say calmly:
"I'm very interested in the gem that was owned by the rich man more than 20 years ago. Since I can't find any clues about the 'Tears of Moonlight', then naturally, I will go further to investigate the jewel that was taken away by the Siling Consortium. That gem is gone!
"Originally, since the gemstone was bought by the Mitsubishi consortium, it should be easy to find it if you want to go directly to the Mitarai family, but I didn't expect you to say that you didn't know about it..."

Reluctantly, Kaitou Kidd sighed, and then added:
"This is really surprising."

"So that's how it is..."

Hearing Kaitou Kidd's explanation, Gao Yuan nodded silently, looking thoughtful.

As for this, Kaitou Kidd looked carefully at the gemstone in his hand, then looked at Mitarai Zongxu, and asked meaningfully:

"So, old sir. Since you bought this gem from the auction back then, why did you say you didn't know?"

Hearing this, Mitarai Zongxu's expression was serious, and he didn't know how to answer——

"and also……"

While saying this, he saw Kaitou Kidd throwing the cross-shaped jewel in his hand, and threw it straight at Mitarai Zongxu, and shouted in his mouth:
"Old man, are the gemstones inlaid on it different from when you first photographed them? Please take a good look!"

After all, Mitarai Zongxu and Mitarai Mizui couldn't help being surprised to see that gem was thrown out by Kaitou Kidd just like that——

Among them, Mitarai Mizui was the first, and his body couldn't help but go forward to pick up the gem, while Mitarai Zongxu, after seeing the other party's behavior, realized the other party's possible purpose, and was about to leave to make preparations, but his legs The pain in the body once again caused a slight flaw in Mitarai Zongxu's actions.

Taking advantage of this slight flaw, the Kaitou Kidd repeated his old trick and used his magic pistol to shoot a rope to hook the top of the cave, then jumped up with the rope and swung towards the entrance of the cave——

This time, without Takato's obstruction, the Kaitou Kidd was unimpeded. Although Mitarai Zongxu wanted to stop it again with the pain, he saw that the gem thrown by the Kaitou Kidd was thrown towards his face .

There was no other way, Mitarai Zongxu could only raise his hand to intercept the gem.

In the end, Mitarai Zongxu caught the gem, but the Kaitou Kidd also took this opportunity to pass Mitarai Zui and Mitarai Zongxu, and came directly to the entrance of the cave——

"Meow--"

With a scream of meow, the meow that was lying at the entrance of the cave seemed to be frightened by the Kaitou Kidd, and then leaped forward, hopping towards the outside of the cave, and finally disappeared in the cave. in the woods outside.

In this regard, the Kaitou Kidd who came to the entrance of the cave turned around, looked at Mitarai Zongxu who had caught the cross-shaped jewel ornament, and said calmly and somewhat proudly:

"How is it? Old man, logically speaking, the gemstone inlaid on it should be a six-carat blue diamond, but now it is an ordinary gemstone. Why?"

Hearing this, Mitarai Zongxu didn't seem to care about Kaitou Kidd's inquiry at all, just looked at Kaitou Kidd, thinking about how to keep this bold thief here——

"Really? That's how it is."

However, seeing Mitarai Zongxu's attitude, Kaitou Kidd smiled, and then said:
"It seems that this is not the gemstone I want. In that case, I will leave!"

After finishing speaking, the strange thief Kidd stepped out of the cave, and closed the iron door at the entrance of the cave——

Therefore, although the iron door that lost its latch could not be automatically locked after being closed, it still blocked Mitarai Zui and Mitarai Zongxu's actions and sight. , where there is the figure of Kaitou Kidd.

Seeing this, Mitarai Zongxu frowned slightly as he looked at the gem returned to his hand, and couldn't help but look at Gao Yuan in the cave, wondering why Gao Yuan didn't continue to make a move just now——

However, at this point, Mitarai Zongxu noticed that Gao Yuan seemed to have lost his strength, lying on the mountain wall, his whole body was very weak...
