Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 479: Grilled Spider (×)
On the rooftop of the Jianguotian Museum.

Lie turned over and stood by the railing, looking up at the two helicopters patrolling in the moonless sky.

Something must have happened to the two police helicopters, and neither of them turned on their searchlights.

This resulted in the rooftop being dark compared to the area below.

The only pair of light red eyes that could be seen through the mask were narrowed. He just stood there looking at the sky, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"You are very agile... Are you an accomplice of Kaito Kidd?"

A slightly unreal voice came into Lie's ears from behind and above.

"Hee~"

Lie heard what the other party said and chuckled, "It seems that our popularity is still a little lacking... Even a killer active around the world has not heard of our name, which really makes people feel unfulfilled~"

He turned around leisurely and came face to face with a strange man standing on a high place, dressed in black with only half of his face exposed.

The weird thing is that the other person wrapped his head like an Arab, and above his nose was a pair of goggles with three holes, and the three holes were in the shape of a regular triangle, and they rotated from time to time...

——At least that’s what Lie saw.

"Your reputation?" The other party seemed a little surprised, but then he saw the five-pointed star above the mask on Lie's face and understood a little, "So that's it, you are the 'masked man' who has been stealing from the powerful and wealthy all over the world recently... No, I should say, you are a 'gang'."

Lie suddenly became happy: "Ah~ You have heard of us~ Are you interested in joining? The benefits of our 'gang' are super good, not inferior to your organization~"

"…It seems your intelligence system is pretty good."

The other party was silent for a while, then showed a slightly cold smile:
"Unfortunately, you know too much..."

"Sleep forever in this nightmare, nameless fool!"

Kuroba Kaito had just dispersed his balloon and climbed onto the rooftop when he heard this extremely childish statement. At the same time, a dazzling red light appeared in his sight, almost making him fall asleep.

Fortunately, when his perception was a little confused.

A piercing chill suddenly spread throughout his body. Kuroba Kaito startled and woke up instantly, followed by a feeling of nausea.

He immediately realized something and took a few steps forward. He saw the man standing high up with a red glow on his triangular glasses. He suppressed his nausea and warned him:

"Ugh...Uncle Lie! Be careful of that guy's hypnosis... Ugh!"

No, this red light really makes me want to vomit.

But he had to face the scarlet light - because under the light, he could see that the rooftop was covered with dense steel wires!

The weirdo who arranged all this also noticed him: "Oh? You two actually know each other. No wonder he knows Pandora."

Pandora?
Kuroba Kaito bit his teeth and his eyes turned cold:
"As expected, you are from that organization, the illusionist Günter von... or should I call you, Spider!"

Zhu, whose identity was pointed out by name, said: "..."

What's going on? How come anyone here knows their organization and their identities? Is it so difficult to survive in Japan now? Or is their boss being passive?

Weird thoughts flashed through Spider's mind, and he was a little surprised that Kaito didn't fall for his illusion. Just as he was about to speak to test it, a resentful voice suddenly rang in his ears:
"Hey, you guys just ignored me and started chatting, that's too much~"

The spider was suddenly startled.

But his first reaction was not to turn around and look, but to twist his body strangely and let go directly from the high place where he was standing, actively giving up the commanding heights.

Where he just stood, Lie, wearing a mask, appeared silently without anyone noticing, and stretched out his bandaged hand to fiddle with the steel wires in the air: "You set up so many mechanisms, it must be very hard, right? And you also connected so many steel wires to the helicopter, it's amazing~ How did you do it?"

Spider didn't answer him, but his expression was a little unhappy: "How can you not be affected by the illusion?" Moreover, the steel wire that he originally designed to stick them together was also destroyed by this person... although it was only a small part.

But this was indeed the first time that I failed in front of outsiders!

It was unbelievable to him that his magic, which had always been effective in the past, had no effect on these two people at all.

"Illusion? What illusion?" Lie paused and blinked curiously, "When did you use it? I didn't feel it~"

spider:"……"

The tone was so innocent that he couldn't tell whether the other party was mocking him or really didn't feel anything.

Kaito: “…”

Is Uncle Lie also angry... Ugh! No, wait, he remembered Uncle Ren told him... Ugh!

"Um, Uncle Lie... Ugh! His illusion is made through the red light on his glasses... Ugh! It works! Ugh..."

Kuroba Kaito almost retched as he finished speaking.

spider:"……"

When did his illusion become so easy to see through?? This is unscientific!
Lie suddenly realized and clapped his hands, his tone was very regretful:
"Oh! So the hole in his glasses is red light... Oh, what a pity~ If I wasn't red and green color blind, I could feel the illusion, alas~"

Kaito: “…”

Uncle Lie, don't tell the enemy such a big weakness!

spider:"……"

Does this masked bastard think his illusion is a tourist attraction? I am being underestimated! Absolutely!
The three men stood on each side.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense again...

"Kid!"

Suddenly, the hateful call for Kaito Kidd coming from the stairwell made Spider realize that he could not delay any longer.

Thinking of Lie's unpredictable movement trick just now, Spider immediately gave up the action of eliminating Lie, stepped on the steel wire in the air, and suddenly a long needle appeared in his hand, which he threw towards Kuroba Kaito with great swiftness.

Kaito was caught off guard and had no time to react. He watched helplessly as the needle tip got closer and closer to his pupil...

My life is over!

...No way! He hasn't confessed to Qingzi yet, bastard, how can he die in this shabby place!
At this moment, Kaito's nerve reflexes almost exceeded his limit. He stretched out his hand at incredible speed and wanted to catch the flying needle in his crotch.

But don't want to.

Just when the flying needle was less than ten centimeters away from his face, a thinner needle flew from the other direction and pierced right through the middle of the flying needle thrown by the spider, splitting the flying needle in two...

The spider was stunned.

And Lie's voice sounded in his ears again:

"Ah~ You also like to use needles? What a coincidence! Do you want to compete with me to see who is better with needles?"

"…I'd never compete with you!"
