Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 191 Witch?

"Kid, Kid, Kid!"

……

As the time approached the midnight of Kidd's preview, a large number of Kidd fans began to cheer outside.

Although the police officers were helpless, they did not stop these people from watching.

Because if the martial law reaches the level of "no outsiders allowed to approach", Kidd will cancel the appointment on the grounds of "lack of spectators".

Kidd's crime was not only for the purpose of "showing off", but also for practical reasons - there were so many people around that he could use his plain clothes skills to blend into the crowd and leave.

The police and the victims of the theft usually do not want Kidd to cancel the notice!
If there is a notice, we only need to be careful during this time. If there is no notice or the notice is cancelled, don’t we have to be careful every day?
Friends who often steal know that it is easy to steal for a thousand days, but it is difficult to prevent thieves for a thousand days...

Therefore, they usually don’t prohibit people from watching!

"Inspector Nakamori! Look over there...in the crowd!" Detective Souji, who was observing with binoculars in a favorable position, suddenly shouted.

Nakamori shuddered when he heard this, and quickly asked, "Have you found Kidd?"

"No, no...that person is so tall..." Detective Souji said with emotion.

Nakamori: …

"Are you an idiot? Who told you to look at this!" Nakamori yelled angrily.

However, even though he said this, Nakamori still followed his gaze and found out...

"Shiraishi? Why is he here?" Nakamori muttered - he did know Shiraishi, but they didn't have much business dealings.

After all, the Criminal Investigation Department's "Second Investigation Section" is in charge of "smart criminals" - in addition to "fraud", it also includes various "job crimes", which means... it deals with bureaucrats the most!
Therefore, the "Second Investigation Section" can be said to be the "most bureaucratic" of the front-line departments, and the "most vulgar" Section 3 can be said to be two extremes.

"Really? He's here to watch the fun!" Nakamori saw a young woman sitting on his shoulder and immediately determined that he was here to watch the fun.

……

"Master, look over there... that big guy..."

"Yes, got it."

Hongzi and her "Demon Butler" looked in the direction of Shiraishi in the crowd at this time - there was no other way, even in the crowd, Shiraishi was the most conspicuous one.

Hongzi had long wine-red hair and slightly red eyes. Looking at Bai Shi's figure, she felt a little heavy in her heart...

"This guy...what's going on? A giant monster from outer space...could it be him?" Hongzi was also a little confused.

She did not directly feel any "supernatural" power in Shiraishi, who seemed to be a very scientific person.

but……

There is also a vague "supernatural" feeling!

Hongzi had never experienced this kind of contradictory feeling before, which inevitably made her have some doubts - should the "revelation" of the devil be on him?

If nothing else...

This body shape is indeed very "giant"!
next moment……

Shiraishi suddenly turned his head and looked over, and his eyes met Hongzi's!

This degree of "just right" is hard to call a "coincidence", it seems...

I just noticed her gaze!

Hongzi was surprised and couldn't help but look away slightly, but Baishi kept staring at him until Hongzi, feeling a little guilty, hid in the crowd.

"Huh?" Bai Shi was also wondering at this time - why did he suddenly feel dizzy?
"What's wrong? Is your shoulder sore? Can I come down..." Ayako asked with concern after noticing it.

"No, nothing..." Shiraishi shook his head - Ayako's weight was almost nothing to Shiraishi.

Bai Shi was confused. When he noticed someone was watching him, he looked over and indeed found a young girl, but...

Afterwards, Bai Shi was dazzled for a moment, causing the other party to blend into the crowd and disappear?
In Bai Shi's opinion, this is simply impossible!
Even if a piece of ginger was tossed in the shredded potatoes, Bai Shi would not be dazzled.

And the feeling of being watched just now was also very strange...

Previously, a police officer had looked at him through binoculars, and Shiraishi had sensed it, but he had not responded—he usually received this kind of gaze quite often, especially now…

It is normal for people to take a few extra glances at someone this tall from behind.

Bai Shi can feel this ordinary gaze, but he won't react.

The reason why the gaze just now made Bai Shi move was because the feeling of this gaze was very special.

It wasn't the clear hostility when being sniped or aimed at, but it contained a more indescribable scrutiny, and more importantly... Bai Shi didn't even notice this gaze at first!

However, when Bai Shi discovered it, he immediately understood that this gaze must have been staring at him for a while.

When he looked over, the other party's first reaction indeed confirmed Bai Shi's feeling. ...

At the same time, Hongzi, who avoided Shiraishi's gaze, also had a tense expression on her face.

"Master, did that big guy just now...find you?"

Hongzi's butler was short and a little hunched, but he was very strong, and more importantly...

The overly pointy ears and two protruding canine teeth, although it cannot be said to be completely unlike a human, it is indeed a bit creepy at first glance.

What's even more terrifying is that the other people around him seemed to subconsciously ignore his abnormality.

"Well, his mental power... well." Hongzi's face was uncertain at this time, but he was vague in his words.

Who is Koizumi Akako?

The contemporary successor of Red Magic, a living witch!
Normally, how could someone possibly catch you “watching” you?
And from the "eye contact" just now, Koizumi Hongzi could feel that the big guy...

In terms of "mental power", he doesn't have any supernatural feelings, but he can accurately sense his own gaze!
It can't be that my mental strength is simply strong enough, right?

Hongzi used a simple "confusing spell" to make the other party lose their lock on him. While Hongzi was more convinced that "this guy should not have supernatural powers", he also had more doubts...

……

Although it was late, Kidd's fans were still enthusiastic and gathered in the station square...

The police did not ban the gathering, but set up a cordon.

And the person on guard outside at this time was Shiraishi’s old acquaintance - the captain of the mobile force and the executive!
When he saw Bai Shi carrying a person, he immediately understood that he was here to watch the fun.

This is very frustrating to implement...

As a mobile team that is often "seconded" by Souji, they have basically become accustomed to being "walked around" by Kidd during their executions.

From time to time, colleagues would come to watch the fun!
At this time, Ayako saw someone dressed as a mobile team member running towards her. She knew that he must be an acquaintance of Xiao Hei, so she hurriedly urged Xiao Hei to put her down.

"Officer Shiraishi, is Beika Town very leisurely these days?" He asked helplessly after coming over.

"It's okay, there were only seven homicides this month." Shiraishi said truthfully.

implement:???
The execution was originally intended to be sarcastic - you are a bit too idle, and you come to watch my fun!

As a result, I was directly shocked by the "achievements" of Beihua Town...

"Is Kidd going to steal the entire clock tower?" Shiraishi asked curiously.

"That's what the notice said, but...his notice was vague to begin with. The target should just be the diamond inlaid on the pointer." The executioner's tone was also uncertain.

Although he has been "played by Kidd" many times, he still doesn't dare to say that he can guess Kidd's thoughts - if he could guess, he wouldn't have been played so many times!

"Hand?" Bai Shi looked up at the huge dial on the clock tower, then asked, "Does that mean we don't need to arrange more people outside the clock tower?"

"The more arrangements we make, the easier it is to impersonate, and... did you hear that?" As the Executioner spoke, a rumbling sound was heard in the air.

It was already past eleven o'clock. With a rumble, two helicopters from the mobile force arrived near the station, turning on their searchlights and shining them on the main body of the clock tower...

"It's really a grand scene." Bai Shi exclaimed upon seeing this.

The next moment, Shiraishi discovered...there were unusual movements by the mobile team members outside the clock tower!
The intercom of the executioner also rang at this time. Although the executioner was very professional and went to the side to talk, not wanting irrelevant people to hear, Shiraishi still heard it...

The time point that Kidd predicted is "the 20,000th bell rings", which is twelve o'clock tonight!

But now I have sneaked into the bell tower...

Don’t be fooled by the fact that every time that guy appears, he is always in a white suit, as if he appears really leisurely and can accomplish all kinds of amazing things with ease.

But in reality, just like other magicians, only the "show" is such a gorgeous scene. Behind the scenes, in order to set up the scene and do other preparations, it is actually very embarrassing - just like "teleportation" and "resurrection", which often require magicians to dig tunnels...

The level of embarrassment during the process was so severe that if anyone saw it, he would lose fans!
"Inspector Nakamori, um... Inspector Shiraishi is here. Do you want to ask him for help? Um... OK, I understand... Got it!"

Shiraishi heard that the executive also asked Nakamori, who was in charge of the on-site command, whether he should go to help.

It's normal for him to think this way!
Generally speaking, when dealing with Kidd, the most taboo thing is to ask unfamiliar people for help - because Kidd's specialty is quick disguise, so having no tacit understanding or unfamiliar companions will have a completely negative effect when guarding against Kidd... But Shiraishi is different, he... is too big!

No matter how much Kidd uses visual effects and a mimicking exoskeleton to make himself look "bigger", there is always a limit.

If he really had to support a "shell" as big as Shiraishi, even Kidd would find it very inconvenient to move.

Unfortunately, Nakamori, the on-site commander, does not want outsiders to intervene.

Shiraishi didn't have to help, in fact... compared to Kidd, Shiraishi was more interested in the girl he just saw!
