Conan: Start with three choices, but sequence potion

Chapter 217: Longma's Extraordinary Event

"This is enough." Kuroba Kaito breathed a sigh of relief.

If there really was a High Sequence targeting him, then the shielding divination would be useless, and he would only need to deal with those methods used by the police.

【Do you have any other questions? 】

"that's all, thanks."

【All right.】

The handwriting began to look a little round, as if disappointed, and then the following sentence appeared:

【May the scarlet bless you. 】

Then the pattern that Kuroba Kaito drew on the paper slowly disappeared.

Kuroba Kaito looked at the last sentence and fell into deep thought.

绯红
Could it be that the extraordinary characteristics of the "Moon" path are in this mirror?

He had once "borrowed" the Scarlet Witch's favor from the Scarlet Saint for a short period of time, so it felt familiar?
No, that's not right. The saint was also present in the underground passage. If that was really the reason, this mirror would definitely be closer to that believer.

So what exactly is his connection with the Scarlet Witch?
Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but think of a name.

Red?

However, he quickly rejected this ridiculous idea.

I was thinking too much. With that weak witch, what other than her name could she be related to that god? Even I could break her magic.

"Kaito!"

At this moment, a girl's powerful voice came from outside the curtained balcony.

"time to eat!"

"Ah, here I come." Kuroba Kaito responded loudly, and then picked up the messy papers on the table.

When he passed by the photo of his father winning the World Magic Competition hanging on the wall, he paused slightly, then took another step.

"Oh, childhood sweetheart? What a beautiful word."

When he saw Aoko taking out slippers for Kuroba Kaito when he entered the house, Mr. "Door" laughed strangely in his heart.

Kuroba Kaito couldn't hold back his poker face and bit his cheek lightly.

"What's wrong?" Nakamori Aoko looked at his face and felt that Kaito was weird today.

"Nothing." Kuroba Kaito forced a smile.

I had already decided to pretend that Mr. "Door" didn't exist, but I couldn't help but think that he would always say some critical remarks.
Nakamori Aoko frowned suspiciously, but her personality prevented her from thinking too much about it.

"Really? I haven't even met Kaito in the Metaverse yet, but I've already seen the news that it's going to be temporarily closed."

The girl complained with some regret.

"What can I do? You were born in Backlund." Kuroba Kaito was also helpless. They were all in Tokyo, but he didn't know why Aoko was born in Backlund.

"Not only that, but I was in the poorest East District. I couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere there, so I rarely went online. I didn't get any extraordinary abilities until the Metaverse closed." She said angrily, "I heard that many people have gained interesting abilities. Several classmates in my class use them to tell fortunes for others, and they are very accurate!"

Isn't that what Hongzi always does?
Although Hongzi almost only gave prophecies to him alone.

“But it seems that there is a way in reality that can make people become extraordinary people.” Nakamori Aoko muttered.

Kuroba Kaito flicked her forehead with his finger, causing Aoko to cover her head.

"Be careful not to be deceived into believing in evil gods." He went upstairs very skillfully, as if he was at home.

"Aoko is not that stupid!" Nakamori Aoko followed him indignantly.

After the meal, Nakamori Ginzo made them a pot of tea to help them digest the food, and Kuroba Kaito took out the ice cream he had replenished last time from the refrigerator.

"Eat something cold right after dinner, or you'll get a stomachache." Nakamori Ginzo looked at him with dead eyes, holding the teacup.

Kuroba Kaito smiled and replied, "You are young and can resist cold, Inspector."

Ginzo Nakamori drank his tea in silence and then turned on the TV.

".In order to see him, there is already a long queue at the Suzuki Museum where the reporter is."

This sentence without a beginning or an end aroused the curiosity of Aoko Nakamori. After reading for a while, she realized that the news was about Kaito Kid.

"That's really exaggerated. I want to go there too."

She held her chin with her hand, looking fascinated: "I heard that there are many famous historical relics in the Suzuki Museum."

"It looks dangerous, so don't go." Nakamori Ginzo also advised seriously.

Kuroba Kaito, while eating his ice cream, also gave a word of advice: "I think so too, don't go."

Nakamori Aoko tilted her head and looked at the two men who had inexplicably formed the same front, "I didn't expect Kaito to be worried about me?"

"Actually, I'm not worried about you." Kuroba Kaito choked on his ice cream and quickly began to explain.

Nakamori Aoko stared at him with pure eyes until Kuroba Kaito felt like turning his head away, and then she turned back to look at the TV.

"However, this is also a rare opportunity to see the real Kaito Kid."

Biting a freshly opened packet of Pocky, Nakamori Aoko spoke incoherently.

The report on TV continued: "Will Kaito Kidd really show up here tomorrow? Why would a Kaito Kidd come here to return the treasure? Also, why did he choose tomorrow? There seem to be more and more unsolved mysteries."

"It's really like a mystery." Nakamori Aoko listened to the host's speech, nodded in agreement, and then asked her father: "But since he said he wanted to return the treasure this time, does it mean that Kidd is also reflecting on it?"

Nakamori Ginzo turned off the TV and said with a personal grudge, "How can a bad guy like him reflect on himself?"

He drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and put it heavily on the table. "Damn it! I must catch him this time!"

Then he began to pretend to read the newspaper.

Nakamori Aoko and Kuroba Kaito had long been accustomed to the inspector's same words every time, so they just smiled.

"But why must it be tomorrow?" Nakamori Aoko asked Kuroba Kaito with some curiosity, "It was clearly just said 'soon' at the beginning."

Nakamori Ginzo looked up from behind the newspaper with a serious expression: "This is because it will rain tomorrow!"

“That guy was actually waiting for the rain!”

Nakamori Aoko looked at him in surprise.

Kuroba Kaito also raised his eyebrows slightly.

Could this confused police chief really have a lucky chance?

Weird.

He looked unconvinced: "Is this really the conclusion you came up with, Inspector?"

"Well, of course!"

Ginzo Nakamori raised the newspaper to cover his face guiltily and coughed lightly.

Well, it was actually the guess made by the kid named Conan among the guests brought by the second daughter of the Suzuki family yesterday. It sounds quite convincing, and he is worthy of being called "Kid's Nemesis". The simple Aoko is not as cunning as Kuroba Kaito, and her eyes lit up: "Dad, you are so awesome! So why did he have to choose a rainy day?"

"Uh, because the word 'washing' was written on the notice? Or maybe people would bring raincoats and umbrellas on rainy days, so it's easy to take advantage of the situation."

Ginzo Nakamori worked back the answer, guessing vaguely.

Nakamori Aoko retracted her expression and sighed: "It turns out to be just ordinary intuition."

"No, it's the boy's fault. It was me, the anti-theft expert, who thought of that!" Nakamori Ginzo's attempt to save face was weak.

男孩
When Kuroba Kaito heard this word, he immediately thought of the boy named Conan, who had disrupted his performance plans several times before.

Was it really that boy who gave the instructions?

"But would Kaito Kid really decide the date and time of the crime for such a simple reason?" He asked in a puzzled tone.

Nakamori Ginzo was also very honest: "In fact, I have also questioned this point. And one more thing, I don't think Kidd will just come to return the treasure."

In this regard, his intuition is more accurate and direct than Conan's reasoning. This is the understanding and knowledge he has gained from dealing with Kidd for many years.

"What do you mean?" Kuroba Kaito coaxed.

"Regarding this, Mr. Tarumi, the organizer of this Ryoma Exhibition, and an expert appraiser named Hanamura also said that Kidd was probably just pretending to return the treasure, and actually stole the biggest attraction of this Ryoma Exhibition, 'Ryoma's Pistol Belt' while everyone's attention was diverted."

Nakamori Aoko was puzzled: "If it's so troublesome, why not just temporarily stop holding the Ryoma Exhibition? Just like the Metaverse."

“We just can’t stop doing it.” Nakamori Ginzo sighed.

"Why?" asked Kuroba Kaito.

"Because the organizer, Tarumi, was very strongly opposed to it."

Nakamori Aoko couldn't understand: "Such an important treasure could be stolen by Kidd. He is obviously the organizer. Isn't this too strange?"

"I think so too." Nakamori Ginzo was very distressed, "And I heard that those two guys seemed to have been robbed many times at exhibitions in the past."

Kuroba Kaito understood it in his heart.

Sure enough, these two people were members of the gang that had opposed their parents a long time ago.

They made valuable treasures "stolen" under various pretexts, and then secretly sold counterfeits in large quantities on the black market, falsely claiming that they were the authentic stolen treasures, making huge profits.

'I see. ’

Mr. "Men" listened to his thoughts and had some understanding of Kuroba Kaito's current situation.

"You are a thief who performs acts of justice in the dark. You are really suitable to follow my path."

Faced with Mr. "Men"'s "temptation" again, Kuroba Kaito skillfully ignored it and treated it as wind passing by his ears.

"It would be nice if we could catch Kid this time, right Dad?"

"Okay, just watch me!"

Nakamori Ginzo listed all the details: "We have prepared gas masks for emergencies, and we have also decided on a code in advance to prevent Kidd from infiltrating the police. We have also commissioned the Beyonders from the University Alliance to build a security gate that can detect both spirituality and metal. While defending against Kidd, we can also effectively guard against other malicious elements."

“And several extraordinary people from the Second Investigation Section who are good at divination will also be dispatched. In this way, we can raise a toast to celebrate tomorrow. Hahahaha!” He stood up and raised the teacup high, looking as if he had already secured victory.

Kuroba Kaito threw away the empty ice cream box and clapped his hands.

Thank you for always providing me with valuable information, Inspector.

"But what does 'washing' mean in the notice?"

"It should just be a witty remark quoting Ryoma's famous saying." Nakamori Ginzo's eyes were clear.

"Is that so?" Kuroba Kaito looked at it while holding the ice cream spoon, "I don't think Kidd is that simple guy."

"I really don't think that Kidd, a professional thief, is just trying to return the treasure this time. He must have some other purpose, right?"

"Rain and washing may hold clues."

"But I'm not Kidd after all." Kuroba Kaito held his chin, looked at the drizzle outside the balcony, and chuckled, "So I'm not sure."

The next day, Suzuki Museum.

"There are so many people." Suzuki Sonoko stretched her neck and looked far into the distance at the back of the team, "Luckily we came early."

After knowing that Lord Kidd had sent a new notice, she even dropped the affairs of the Lightkeepers' Chamber of Commerce and brought Xiaolan and the others to join in the fun, hoping to admire Lord Kidd's heroic figure up close.

"Lord Kidd!" There was suddenly a commotion from behind.

"Where? Where is Lord Kidd?" Suzuki Sonoko immediately became alert and ran to the back.

"Hey, Sonoko." Even Mao Lilan couldn't hold her back.

Not long after, Suzuki Sonoko returned home disappointed.

"It's so bad, just a cosplayer, and a fat guy at that, it doesn't look like him at all."

Mao Lilan laughed dryly and said, "No matter how you think about it, there is no way that Kidd can come in through the security gate openly, right? After all, this device is equipped with both a spiritual detector and a metal detector."

Suzuki Sonoko reached out through the security gate and said, "It's useless unless you use your ability."

"By the way, what would be the reaction if spiritual fluctuations were detected?" She was a little curious, and then quietly turned on her spiritual vision.

Woohoo——

Woohoo——

A loud siren sounded, startling her.

"Who, who triggered the alarm?!" Inspector Nakamori quickly appeared with a team of police officers and surrounded them.

Suzuki Sonoko raised her hands weakly: "Sorry, I'm out of my mind."

When Inspector Nakamori saw that it was the second daughter of the Suzuki family, his eyes widened.

Why do people from these wealthy families love to cause trouble for the police?

He asked a female police officer to pinch Suzuki Sonoko's face and confirm that they were not disguised. Then Inspector Nakamori turned off the alarm and let Suzuki Sonoko and the others in.

"Don't abuse your abilities!" he warned before leaving.

"I know, I know." Suzuki Sonoko stuck out her tongue apologetically.

Conan pushed his glasses and said, "It seems that this detector can only work when using the ability. If the spiritual power is restrained, it will not react even if a Beyonder passes by."

Suzuki Sonoko jumped up exaggeratedly.

"You little devil are following me?"

She always thought that there was only Xiaolan behind her and didn't notice that there was also Conan.

Conan: "."

Why did he make him sound like some forbidden creature?
Although his presence is indeed getting lower and lower in the process of playing the role of "Inspector", and sometimes he is easily ignored when standing in front of other people, it shouldn't be so exaggerated, right?
