Conan: Start with three choices, but sequence potion

Chapter 70 This Time It’s a Real Crow

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, interpreting a preview letter is inherently unreliable, isn't it?"

The takoyaki sauce was very strong and a little too sweet. An He calmed down before continuing, "In essence, Kaito Kidd is a standard thief criminal, right? Facing such a person, we actually have to confirm the focus of security through the so-called "advance letter" he gave. Isn't this like actively handing the keys to the thief for safekeeping?"

"And the secret code, to put it bluntly, is like shooting an arrow first and then drawing a target, using ambiguous riddles to play tricks, and in the end, any interpretation actually makes sense. For example, the sentence 'the clock without a second hand moves to the twelfth number' can be said to be the order of English letters, the order of Russian letters, or simply understood literally as 12 o'clock midnight."

"Even if it's more extreme, it's not impossible to just refer to the 12th word in the previous sentence. There's no point in talking about such subjective things."

Anhe picked up two takoyaki with bamboo sticks and handed them to the two people.

"Haven't you always described this Phantom Thief as a magician? This time he called himself that, too."

"I didn't expect that I would trust the magician who is the best at trickery and manipulating attention, and I would trust him completely."

"What should we do when the so-called 'Phantom Thief in White who loves gems' shifts his target from gems to other things, and changes from a flamboyant white dress to a low-key black cloak?"

Conan and Hattori Heiji subconsciously took the bamboo sticks, looked at each other, and saw a little shock in each other's eyes.

Then they ate the takoyaki in perfect sync and ran towards the art museum, apparently in a hurry to find the police to confirm something.

The two of them ran so fast that they didn't even bother to check if Guan Anhe was following them or not.

An He's lips curled slightly.

I'm sorry, Kaito, for the sake of my promotion, I have to ask you to bear the pressure for a while. They are just two young detectives with open minds. It should be no problem for you, right?

Time passed by little by little, the sun set in the west, and the sky gradually darkened.

After the overbearing light from the sun disappeared, the dense stars in the sky tentatively showed their heads.

The top of Tsutenkaku Tower.

A figure in white stood on the edge of the rooftop, the cloak behind him fluttering in the evening breeze, the moonlight shining on it, leaving a graceful shadow.

thump--

A touch of white emerged from the dark night, a figure stretched out his fingertips, and a white dove landed obediently.

Kuroba Kaito untied the bug tied to the pigeon's leg and then took off the earphones from his ears.

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

He opened his arms as if embracing the night, and chanted softly in an aria-like tone.

"Be prepared for a miracle."

As he turned his wrist, a remote control appeared out of thin air in his hand.

drop.

He pressed the button.

call out--

Gorgeous fireworks rose from all over Osaka, flew into the night sky with countless people's surprised eyes, and bloomed into a rain of flowers under the stars.

In the east wind night, flowers and trees are bloomed, and the stars are like rain.

"Ok?"

However, apart from this, the other "fireworks" that were envisioned did not appear.

Kuroba Kaito pressed the button again, but there was no response.

"Listen up Kaito."

A deep and gentle voice suddenly sounded behind him.

“Magicians should have the courage to challenge, but only within the risk range they can control.” “A good magician can make some sacrifices in safety to achieve the desired effect - but such sacrifices should not be paid for by his audience.”

Kuroba Kaito suddenly turned around and a familiar white shadow came into his sight.

The same white suit, top hat, blue lining, red tie, and even the angle of the cape fluttering behind is equally unruly.

The only difference is the eye-catching black on that person's shoulders.

"Blow up the switch of the power plant and stop the power supply to the whole area. The police will definitely start the backup generator at the place where they are guarding the 'Egg of Memories'. If you look carefully at this highest point in Osaka, you will find that in addition to buildings like hospitals and government buildings, there is another place with lights on."

"It's a good idea, but like I said, it's too immature."

An He lightly twisted the brim of his hat, and the crow on his shoulder stood quietly.

"Even with the emergency power supply, the surgery was interrupted within a very short time and was enough to kill the patient."

"The Phantom Thieves are no less vicious than those criminals, but with just a thought, they can become more terrifying than them."

"It took me a lot of effort to replace all those micro-bombs you installed with these beautiful fireworks."

Kuroba Kaito's face changed slightly. He only considered that there would be emergency power supply systems in special places, but he did neglect the point of interrupting the operation.

"This is my mistake," he admitted frankly, somewhat thankful that he hadn't caused any big trouble. "Why did you help me?"

"Help you?" An He shook his head and said with a slight smile: "I just don't want to see the name of Kaito Kidd be tainted by your hands."

"You want to replace me? Become the new Kid?" Kuroba Kaito asked back, looking him up and down at his outfit which was undoubtedly the same as Kaito Kid's.

"Become Kidd? Haha." An He smiled as if he heard a child's innocent question.

"Two is enough for Kidd."

Kuroba Kaito looked at him with an increasingly complicated look. From the very beginning, the image of this fake Kidd that appeared in front of him seemed to know everything.

"You know a lot."

"I can talk to you a lot." An He said noncommittally, "But I have to remind you that you are going to be late for your performance, and Kaito Kidd is always punctual."

"Only if you really can."

Kuroba Kaito pulled up his sleeves to look at his watch, then deliberately raised his tone.

"It would be best if you didn't disappear as suddenly as you appeared, as you did before."

"Do you need me to show you the way?" An He made a "gladly" gesture and said with a smile.

"I have more than one plan."

Kuroba Kaito was disdainful, took a step back, and jumped down from the rooftop a hundred meters high. He spread his glider wings and turned into a white dove in the dark night.

It was quiet on top of Tsutenkaku.

An He suddenly said, "Do you think he will really fall into the hands of those two?"

"I don't think so. The range of activity is the whole of Osaka. With the maneuverability of the hang glider, Kuroba Kaito won't be caught that easily."

The one who answered him was the crow on his shoulder.

To be precise, it was the audience crows.

After Anhe came to Osaka, the audience found a crow as a carrier and started his "seeding" plan.

After using the gray-white mist instead of spiritual power to stimulate self-suggestion, even if it is controlling a speechless creature like a crow, the audience can communicate through the unique fluctuations of the gray-white mist, and this way of communication can only be received by the other two people who are also Anhe.

It is a perfect encryption method.
