Solving cases with Detective Conan's science? No, I'm a cultivator!

After giving them some "instructions," the two left on their own.

"These two guys are really infuriating!" said Nakamori Ginzo, annoyed.

He also disliked these two uncooperative guys.

"I'll go check it again!"

After finishing his sentence, Nakamori Ginzo walked towards the exhibition booth.

"Let's leave here first," Kitagawa Taki said to the remaining three, including Sonoko.

Suzuki Jirokichi asked, puzzled, "Huh? Why?"

Kitagawa Taki said, "It's going to rain here later."

Jirokichi Suzuki was quite excited: "Kitagawa, did you see through Kid's plan?"

Kitagawa Taki shook his head. "However, Mr. Suzuki, you'd better come with us."

After saying that, he led Sonoko and Ran outside the exhibition hall.

Sonoko asked curiously, "Taki, what do you mean by 'it's going to rain'?"

Kitagawa Taki countered, "Didn't Kid mention baptism in his announcement?"

Xiaolan suddenly realized: "Ah, I know, it's an automatic sprinkler system!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a white top hat flew out from the crowd in the exhibition hall. It flew across half the exhibition hall and landed steadily on Kidd's head.

"Phantom Thief Kid!!"

A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.

"Everyone, please prepare for baptism!"

Kidd took out a match, lit it, and then, as if by magic, blew a breath into the flame.

The flames instantly spread to the automatic sprinklers on the ceiling.

The next second, all the automatic sprinklers started working.

While blocking the water, Nakamori Ginzo said, "Damn it! This guy actually used the automatic fire sprinkler system!"

Kidd smiled with satisfaction: "Well then, I'll take my leave now!"

Nakamori Ginzo quickly spoke up, "Wait a minute, Kid, didn't you say you were going to return the three treasures?"

"This rain will bring the truth to light, just as rain washes away the mud."

Kidd glanced in the direction of Tarumi Inohiko and the other person.

After he finished speaking, the water sprayer sprayed water at a higher speed, filling the entire exhibition hall with a layer of water mist.

"This guy definitely adjusted the water pressure!" Nakamori Ginzo shouted to those around him, "Move quickly, don't let Kid get away!"

"No, Inspector, I can't see anything at all!"

Kidd has disappeared!

The surrounding police officers were all talking at once.

Once the automatic sprinklers stopped, Kidd was nowhere to be seen in the exhibition hall.

Completely soaked from the rain, Nakamori Ginzo pulled out his walkie-talkie and said, "Hello, has anyone gone out through the metal detector gate?"

"No one went out."

Kitagawa Taki walked in with Sonoko and Ran.

The same answer came from the walkie-talkie.

"Damn it!" Nakamori Ginzo had no choice but to ignore Kid for the time being. "Where are the three treasures that Kid wants to return? Find them quickly!"

"No need to look anymore, Officer Nakamori, they're right here!"

Tarumi Inohiko said, holding a pistol.

Masanosuke Hanamura pointed to one side and said, "Put it on top of the gun sling display stand."

"However, these are all fakes." With that, he walked over and picked up one of the wine glasses.

Kitagawa Taki feigned surprise and said, "It seems the security system inside has been compromised!"

Taruhiko's expression changed, and he quickly lifted the glass of the display case, muttering, "Could it be that the gun slings inside have been replaced with fakes by Phantom Thief Kid?"

Hanamura Masanosuke said angrily, "We've been tricked by Kidd!"

clap clap ~

Everyone turned their attention to Kitagawa Taki, who was clapping.

"Mr. Tarumi and Mr. Hanamura, your acting skills are quite good!"

Both of them changed color simultaneously. Seeing that Inohiko's eyes were twitching, Zun pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Sir, what are you talking about?"

Kitagawa Taki pointed to the labels below the exhibition stand and said, "Take a look at the labels below."

Nakamori Ginzo removed the label that Kidd had previously affixed; it was now a smeared mess.

He wiped it with his hand. "It's watercolor paint."

Jirokichi Suzuki asked, "What's written on it?"

"Let me see." Nakamori Ginzo took out a handkerchief and thoroughly wiped the label clean before reading it aloud: "This sling was originally a complete fake, because... because it was a mass-produced item that was counterfeited in anticipation of being stolen!!"

Chapter 256 He has already escaped.

"Mass production??"

The crowd's surprised and uncertain gazes shifted back and forth between the gun belt and Tarumi Inohiko.

Kitagawa Taki explained, "We just need to make the theft of the treasure a hot topic, and then sell these mass-produced items to Ryoma fans, telling them that these are the treasures that were stolen before."

In this way, even if the buyer discovers later that the item is fake, they can only suffer in silence, because buying stolen goods is illegal in the first place.

Jirokichi Suzuki immediately understood, "No wonder he wouldn't let my appraisers do the appraisal!"

Kitagawa Taki looked at Hanamura Masanosuke: "This method requires a renowned appraiser to provide a guarantee, right, Mr. Hanamura?"

Hanamura Masanosuke retorted defiantly, "You, you! You're spouting nonsense! There are absolutely no mass-produced products here!"

Kitagawa Taki shook his head, walked to the large jar that had trapped Sakamoto Ryoma, and kicked it to pieces. Inside were wine cups stained with Sakamoto Ryoma's blood from when he was assassinated.

"These bloodstains couldn't possibly be Longma's blood, could they? A DNA test will reveal the truth."

Kitagawa Taki looked at Hanamura Masanosuke's right thumb, which was wrapped in bandages.

Jirokichi Suzuki said, "Just search their warehouse; there must be many more counterfeit goods that haven't been sold yet."

At this point, both Tarumi Inohiko and Hanamura Masanosuke were completely speechless.

They originally intended to use Kaito Kid, but instead, they were outmaneuvered.

"Cuff them both!"

Nakamori Ginzo gave orders to the police officers.

Seeing that their evil deeds had been exposed, Kaito Kuroba, who had been hiding in the crowd, quietly left the exhibition hall.

……

On the top floor.

Chianti had already equipped his sniper rifle with night vision devices.

"understood."

After receiving Gin's reminder, she focused her attention.

Not long after, she saw Kidd fly out of the museum in a hang glider.

Chianti aimed at Kidd's head, clicked his tongue in annoyance, and then turned his attention to the hang glider.

"boom!"

A high-speed spinning bullet was fired.

Kaito Kuroba was completely unprepared, as he was thinking about what Taki Kitagawa had said earlier.

Chianti destroyed the glider's power unit with a single shot, and Kidd plummeted downwards.

Meanwhile, Gin and Vodka, who were waiting below, also moved, with Vodka driving after Kid.

Kaito Kuroba realized something was wrong and quickly put away his damaged hang glider, opening his spare paraglider, which he had prepared specifically for this situation.

He had already been knocked down several times before.

Fortunately, he was at a relatively high altitude, so the paraglider could also be of some use.

Kaito Kuroba knew perfectly well that the shot he had just received was from a sniper rifle, so he maneuvered his paraglider toward the dense high-rise buildings, hoping to use them as cover.

"cut!"

Seeing that Kidd had pulled out his paraglider again, Chianti didn't care anymore and aimed at Kidd's arm, since Gin hadn't told her not to hurt him anyway.

She adjusted her sniper rifle, but suddenly realized that Kidd's target was the towering buildings, so she fired directly.

……

At this moment, Kaito Kuroba's heart was in his throat; he was like a target in the air.

He didn't know what the other party's purpose was, but it shouldn't be to kill him, otherwise the shot wouldn't have hit the hang glider.

But he dared not gamble, so he had no choice but to fly as high as he could towards the building.

Just as he was about to fly between the two tall buildings, Kaito Kuroba felt a sharp pain in his arm.

……

Top floor.

“He had a spare paraglider, and it was already out of my sight.”

Chianti cursed under his breath, reported the situation to Gin, and then began packing his equipment.

Gin and his companion, who were driving below following Kid, also witnessed this scene.
