Conan Rick's Investigator

There's not even a laser sensor...

A completely disorganized defense, this isn't like Officer Nakamori's style...

Could it be that the police really caught a thief who appeared out of nowhere and thought they caught me?

Regarding Kaito Kidd copycats, this kind of thing has happened before.

Previously, a department store owner lied that he had received a warning letter from Kidd, and asked his employees to disguise themselves as Kaito Kidd to steal the gems on the Christmas tree in front of his department store.

But in fact, that gem was not the legendary super-large gem, and Kidd simply disdained to take action on a gem that was not even as big as a pigeon egg.

The result was naturally that Officer Nakamori led the team to capture this "fake Kid" and exposed the conspiracy of the department store owner in one fell swoop.

It turns out that the boss just wanted to promote his shopping mall and took the opportunity to sell Kaito Kidd peripherals.

Could it be that this time the situation is the same as last time, and I am imitating you again?

Kidd was confused and scratched his head, but the deadline for the preview letter was approaching, and he had to perform on time no matter what.

Even if there are no cheers from the audience, this already planned show must be performed to the end. This is the most basic artistic ethics for a magician...

Kidd lifted the floorboards and quietly climbed onto the ground.

I squatted on the ground and remained still for two seconds. There was still no movement in the exhibition hall.

Kidd: "..."

Did the police really withdraw their defense?

This is truly the easiest time ever!

Although Kidd is looking for excitement in his heart and always has a playful attitude when facing the police chase, there is nothing wrong with being able to relax occasionally.

But...as long as it's the treasure guarded by Officer Nakamori, it seems to be very easy to steal every time~

"Hee hee hee……"

Kidd, with a big smile on his face, easily jumped onto the bronze statue, stepped on its shoulders with his feet, and with a glance, he confirmed that the bronze statue and the purple gem on the child's hole were both genuine.

It seems that Officer Nakamori was completely careless this time...

Kidd hooked his legs around the neck of the bronze statue and was about to press the start button of the hot air balloon when a young man's voice came from the exhibition hall and the lights in the exhibition hall suddenly lit up.

"8:01:12.54 PM..."

"Kaito Kidd, that's enough!"

Kidd was startled and immediately looked down at the ground, where he saw the white-horse detective walking out from behind the stone pillar with a calm expression.

he is……

Kidd frowned slightly, recognizing this loyal cosplayer of Sherlock Holmes.

He is the famous high school detective who said in front of the media that he would catch me.

Eh?

Why do I say "again"?

Kidd remained calm in the face of danger and said calmly, "Now you are at the bottom and I am at the top. What can you do to me?"

Bai Ma Tan, with his hands in his pockets, smiled slightly, his aura no less impressive.

"Actually, I've already installed a device that releases hypnotic gas in the basement you just passed by. If I want, I can just press the gas device and put an end to this farce..."

"But considering that you saved me at that time, I decided to let you go for now."

That’s right, the person that Hakuba Detective believed to be his savior was none other than Kaito Kid.

When he was controlled by Spider's illusion, there was no way anyone except Kaito Kid would have the chance to help him.

The only possibility is that it was Kaito Kidd who was hiding in the museum in advance like Spider!

Although the slap in the face was a bit painful, and there might be some personal grudge involved, Bai Ma Tan has always been willing to repay the favor of saving his life.

So when he clearly saw Kaito Kid crawling on the rope like a chameleon on the surveillance camera just now, Hakuba Tan did not press the hypnotic gas device he had set up.

At this moment, Kidd, who was sitting cross-legged on the bronze statue, was also shocked and broke out in a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead.

what?

Is there a hypnotic gas device in the basement I just passed by?

From the confident expression on Hakuba's face, Kid knew that what the famous high school detective said was true.

In this case, I almost failed here!

It seems that we need to pay enough attention to this Hakuba Tanjiro in the future, at least to the same level of importance as we give to Kudo Shinichi!

Now, Hakuba Tan's status in Kid's heart has risen to the same level as Conan who is Kudo Shinichi.

This is a height that even Taishan, the father-in-law who has been fighting with me for almost a year, cannot reach.

But the person who holds the highest position in Kidd's heart is the man who recognized his identity during their first encounter.

Qin Zhibo!

However, Kidd had no recollection of Bai Matan's words that he had saved him.

When did I save him?

How come this happened? Why don't I remember it?

At this moment, Bai Ma took a step back and said slowly: "Although I can let you go this time, as for these policemen, I am not sure..."

As soon as Hakuba Tan finished speaking, Officer Nakamori, who had been hiding behind other stone pillars and was already thirsty, led the other policemen to jump out quickly.

"Damn you, Kidd! I knew you wouldn't give up and would come back to do it again!"

"Come at me!"

Officer Nakamori temporarily forgot the confusion of what he said to Hakuba Detective. Now that Kidd was right in front of him, he had completely entered the "dwarf in thought, giant in action" mode.

This is Officer Nakamori's usual style. As long as Kidd hasn't appeared, he can control the overall situation and make plans.

But as soon as Kidd shows up, Officer Nakamori's action will crush all the thoughts in his brain.

What the hell is this strategizing!

The real thing is to move your legs and catch Kidd!

Led by Officer Nakamori, a group of police officers rushed towards the bronze statue where Kidd was, and Kidd quickly pressed the button on the hot air balloon remote control in his hand.

呲——

A metal rod grew out of his back, and a balloon inside the rod rapidly expanded.

Thanks to a nebulizer recently developed by an unnamed doctor, the balloon can inflate very quickly, reaching a flight-ready state in just three seconds.

Kidd clamped his legs around the neck of the bronze statue, and with his amazing leg strength, he actually carried the bronze statue into the sky.

"Goodbye, goodbye—"

"Bye-bye-bye—"

Kidd had a playful and happy expression on his face and was waving to the police officers below.

But at this moment, Kidd's rising body suddenly stopped and could not rise any further.

Kidd: “?”

It turned out that an iron chain was connected to the bottom of the bronze statue, tying it tightly to the floor.

The white horse detective on the ground smiled slightly and said slowly: "I just said that I will let you go on my own terms, but I didn't say that you can take the treasure away..."

Chapter 259 Readers’ Choice, Part !

The lifting force of the hot air balloon was unable to lift the bronze statue, and Kidd also felt that the bronze statue was tied to the ground.

Hakuba Tan, the cunning Japanese...

What a great job!

But I have a plan B!

Kidd, who had researched the information in advance, knew that the purple gem on the right side of the bronze statue was not actually inlaid. As long as this...

If this continues...

Kidd shook it twice at a specific angle and took the purple gem off the bronze statue.

After carefully weighing the heavy weight of the purple gem, Kidd aimed it at the moon outside the glass dome of the museum.

Against the backdrop of the bright crescent moon, the purple gem did not emit any special light.

How to identify the Pandora Stone of Life?

As long as the super-large gem is pointed at the moon in the sky, if it is a gem with extraordinary power, the moonlight will awaken another gem sleeping inside the gem, causing it to emit red light.

In other words, this purple gem called "Purple Child" is not the stone with special powers.

Tsk... guessed wrong again?

There is also no Pandora, the Stone of Life, which the organization that killed my father was trying so hard to obtain.

"Officer! I think I'd better give this back to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kaito Kid threw the purple gem at Officer Nakamori, then took out a playing card pistol and fired a shot at the glass dome of the museum.

Biu!

Pa——

The glass produced in Japan is not very reliable. It was easily shattered by a playing card, and Kaito Kidd disappeared into the sky from the sight of the police.

"hateful!"

"Let him run away again!"

After taking the gem, Officer Nakamori was not excited about successfully protecting the treasure, but stomped his feet in anger.

In order to create the illusion that the police had retreated, Officer Nakamori had arranged for the eight helicopters that had been deployed earlier to evacuate.

Now Kidd flew away in a hot air balloon, and it was too late for the helicopter to take off, so the police on the ground could only watch him from behind.

In terms of convenience, science once again triumphs over science.

But at this moment, the White Horse Detective on the side began to give orders.

"Officer, please ask your men to withdraw immediately and not approach the area around the bronze statue!"

Detective Hakuba's voice was so stern that Officer Nakamori thought he had done something wrong and quickly waved his hand back.

The policemen retreated, but the detective Bai Ma took out a magnifying glass and carefully searched for something around the bronze statue.

"Officer Nakamori, what is Master Hakuba doing?"

The subordinate standing by changed his tone very quickly and started calling Bai Ma Tan "Young Master".

Officer Nakamori didn't mind this title. At least it was much more comfortable than calling him a detective, because Nakamori always hated detectives.

"I don't know, let's wait and see..."

The influence of Superintendent Hakuba was still there, and Officer Nakamori couldn't go up and disturb him too arbitrarily. He could only send his men to other places in the museum to see if Kidd had really left.

The white horse detective surrounding the bronze statue was searching every corner of the statue with a magnifying glass, and suddenly a knowing smile appeared on his face.

found it……

The white horse detective put on white gloves and picked up a strand of black hair that had fallen on the edge of the bronze statue's base.

Ah~ Kidd!

There is no impenetrable wall in this world...

Just like your gorgeous top hat, it can't provide a perfect disguise...

The moment your disguise loosens even a little, that will be the day I reveal the truth to the world!

Having gotten what he wanted, Hakuba Detective put the hair in his pocket and slowly walked up to Officer Nakamori.

"Officer Nakamori, since you've been tracking down Kaito Kidd for the past eighteen years without success, I'm allowing you to witness the moment the truth is revealed to the world."

Officer Zhongmori: "?"
