Detective Conan: I, with my magical powers, am going to destroy the world!

Sure enough, a small bullet casing was found on the road!

Inside the exhibition hall of the Suzuki Museum of Contemporary Art.

Power has been restored.

Akatsukaze, Suzuki Shiro, Detective Mori, and others were sitting on the sofa waiting for a briefing from the police.

Chaki Shintaro strode over and said to Suzuki Shiro:

"Mr. Suzuki, the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters just received news that the child Mr. Mori brought, along with that high school detective from Osaka, said that Kaito Kid was just shot and may have fallen into the river."

Suzuki Shiro looked surprised when he heard Chaki Shintaro's words.

"Inspector Chaki, what did you say? Kidd was shot?"

Chaki Shintaro nodded and said, "That's right. According to the two boys at the scene, they found that Kid's monocle in his right eye was pierced by a bullet and had some blood on it."

"However, the real Egg of Memories was not present. According to the child and the high school detective from Osaka, the Onmyoji must have replaced the real Egg of Memories beforehand."

"Lord Chichu, is that so?"

Chaki Shintaro was still a little nervous.

After all, if the Egg of Memories were truly lost, he would certainly be held responsible.

“You’re right!” Chi Chufeng nodded and took out the box containing the Egg of Memories from the bag next to him.

0 0

“There were only three of them, Officer Nakamori and his men. I was worried that they would give Kid an opportunity, so I secretly replaced the Egg of Memory.”

He didn't care at all what the police thought.

You were completely outmaneuvered by Phantom Thief Kid, and you still dare to blame me for being prepared?

"Really? That's wonderful!" Chaki Shintaro breathed a sigh of relief. "As expected of the Onmyoji, he foresaw everything perfectly."

The inspector secretly gave him a compliment.

.... ......... .......

"Now that Phantom Thief Kid has escaped, the Memory Egg is safe. The 'Memory Egg' will be on display tomorrow, so please have the police put it in the display case."

Chi Chufeng handed over the Egg of Memories.

With the Eye of Space watching over him, he wasn't afraid of anyone stealing from him again.

"By the way, what does Lord Akatsuchi think about the fact that Phantom Thief Kid was targeted?"

Chaki Shintaro asked respectfully.

The police are in a real bind. Not only did they fail to catch the Phantom Thief Kid, but now a sniper has appeared.

They're not local police, so solving cases like this is extremely difficult.

Chi Chufeng thought for a moment and said, "The fact that this sniper was able to accurately snipe the right eye of Phantom Thief Kid in the night sky proves two things."

"First, the sniper's sniping skills are superb, so it is absolutely impossible that this was his first time committing a crime."

"Secondly, the sniper deliberately chose to target the smaller, less likely right eye, either because he was particularly confident in his skills, or because this action had some special significance."

"So, if we look for a killer with a large number of murders and who is skilled at sniping the right eye, we might find something."

Chapter 261 The assassin was a woman, a very beautiful woman.

As a superintendent investigating intelligent criminals, Inspector Chaki doesn't know much about the killer.

So he quickly ordered his men to search the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters database to see if there was any assassin like the one Akazuka had mentioned.

Before long, a uniformed policeman brought in various documents.

"No bloodstains or fingerprints were detected on Kidd's monocular lens."

"Furthermore, after identification by weapons experts, the bullet casings found at the scene were identified as Russian 9.9mm special subsonic rifle bullets, specifically the latest modified SSP sniper-specific model."

"The guns equipped with this type of bullet are generally the Russian VSS silenced close-range sniper rifle."

"Currently, this weapon is primarily used by Russian special forces..."

As soon as this conclusion was stated, Officer Chaki and Detective Mouri at the scene stared in astonishment.

Because there is a Russian in the president's office at the Suzuki Museum today.

Sergei, the secretary of the Russian embassy, ​​was tall and burly, and clearly had experience carrying a gun.

Given its special background, obtaining such a gun would be an absolute breeze.

"Could it be..."

The matter was of great importance, and Officer Chaki dared not draw any conclusions lightly.

“Yesterday, that Russian said he wanted to take the ‘Egg of Memory’ back for free, but Chichusan didn’t reply.”

A sound came from the doorway; Heiji Hattori and Conan had returned sometime earlier.

"Could it be that he learned about Kid's heist plan tonight and was waiting to ambush the Phantom Thief Kid?"

"If Kidd succeeds in stealing it, and then gets shot down by a sniper, wouldn't the Egg of Memories just fall into his hands?"

Although Inspector Chaki did not respond, he inwardly agreed with Hattori Heiji's reasoning.

However, the police officer who came to report gave another piece of information that puzzled everyone.

“In the ICPO’s criminal database, we found a killer who specifically targets the right eye.”

"His name is Shi Kaobing, gender and age unknown."

This information once again puzzled the police officers and detectives.

If Sergei could make an exception and snipe Phantom Thief Kid once for the "Egg of Memories", he can't be a professional assassin, can he?

At this point, Hattori Heiji once again presented his reasoning.

"Could it be that the Russian also knew about Skobing's sniping habits, so he imitated Skobing's crime and wanted to frame Skobing for the case?"

"He might even be Scorpius."

Hattori Heiji's sentence is in the form of an interrogative sentence, but his tone is completely devoid of any interrogative quality.

And once this reasoning was stated, everything seemed to make perfect sense again.

The logical reasoning was so sound that no flaws could be found, leaving Conan, Kogoro Mouri, and the others speechless.

As Akatsukaze looked at the confident Hattori Heiji, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

If I didn't know Shi Kaobing's true identity, I would have been fooled by your rich imagination.

"Does Chi Chusang have a different opinion?"

Sensing that Akatsukaze's expression was off, Hattori Heiji asked defiantly.

Chi Chufeng's lips curled slightly.

"If you ask me, that sniper must have been a woman, a very beautiful woman."

He looked at the half-exposed pretty face in the doorway and said with a smile.

"woman?"

Heiji Hattori and Conan were both speechless.

This Onmyoji's imagination is just too rich...

Outside the door, Pu Siqinglan quickly shrank back inside.

My heart was pounding, and my chest was heaving.

Could he be talking about me?

I was very careful and almost never appeared in front of him.

Even observation was done from a distance of 100 meters, using binoculars.

He probably won't suspect me.

Just as Pu Siqinglan was about to leave, a girl and an old man came out of the elevator.

Her eyes flashed, and she slipped into the emergency exit.

"Excuse me, everyone. I am Natsumi Kosaka, and this is my butler."

Natsumi Kosaka blinked her big eyes and looked pitifully at Akatsuka Kaze.

"Chichu-san, could you please let me see the Egg of Memories?"

Such a pitiful little beauty, Chi Chufeng certainly wouldn't refuse.

Fortunately, the Egg of Memory hadn't been taken by the police yet.

He opened the box and placed the Egg of Memories on the table.

Looking at the Egg of Memories, Natsumi Kosaka's eyes glistened with tears.

“My great-grandfather’s name was Xi Yi. He worked in a workshop in Faberuge and married a Russian woman there on April 4.3rd.”

Natsumi Kosaka's voice is very gentle.
