Conan Rick's Investigator

After obtaining the permission to use his identity, Kuroba Kaito smiled with pride and even forgot about Pokerface.

Humph! Now let’s see what you, the Phantom Thief Crow, can do to fight me!

……

"What? That kid wants to disguise himself as you and get into the casino vault?"

On the other end of the line, Hei Yu Qianying said apologetically, "I can't persuade that child, and if I refuse, my identity might be questioned..."

Qin Zhibo felt somewhat helpless. Originally, Hei Yu Qianying was there to help him break into the casino vault as an insider.

But now that Kuroba Chikage's identity has been taken away by Kuroba Kaito, there is no cooperation from the inside, and all the responsibilities will fall on his head alone.

"I see. I'll think of a solution."

Another pseudo-girl...

Qin Zhibo hung up the phone and took out the casino building structure diagram given by Hei Yu Qianying from the drawer.

If he wanted to enter the casino, he could also do what Kuroba Kaito did, find another person with an identity card, kidnap him on the day of the operation, and disguise himself as him.

But the casino owner seemed to have experience in this area. This time, not many people were arranged to protect the gems on site. Other staff were not allowed to enter the vault, and the information on the identity authentication card would be updated to the latest one on that day.

Moreover, everyone's identity is kept secret from each other. Even Hei Yu Qianying doesn't know who else will appear in the vault at that time.

So the only way now is to sneak into the casino vault without anyone noticing.

Qin Zhibo drew the route to the underground vault with his fingers on the map. Apart from the elevator shaft and ventilation ducts equipped with infrared devices, the most convenient route for him to enter was to enter from the corridor like a normal person.

The surveillance cameras in the corridor can be avoided by hiding, but the problem is how to enter the casino backstage and the elevator that goes directly to the vault without a key card.

Qin Zhibo sat in a chair thinking, and suddenly came up with an idea.

Particleization!

Particleization allows the body to pass through doors.

But the problem is that my current particleization is not proficient enough. It is okay to pass through an ordinary wooden door, but it is impossible to pass through a steel door like an elevator door.

"..."

Qin Zhibo thought about it and decided that he would have to practice temporarily.

This skill will be used sooner or later, so why not practice it now?

As for the training method, it is naturally through the door. As long as you keep practicing through the door, you can improve your proficiency and then improve your level.

There are less than two days left until the trailer for Kaito Crow, so I must step up my training.

"it is good!"

"Start training!"

Qin Zhibo came to the door of the toilet and tried to pass through the wooden door in front of him with his body.

As his thoughts turned, the tall body gradually became transparent and blurred. For a moment, it became a bloody mess, and finally became translucent.

In this state, he easily passed through the 4cm thick wooden door in front of him.

I looked at my proficiency again and it increased by 60 points.

Now, for Qin Zhibo, passing through an ordinary wooden door is not too difficult, and the added proficiency is much less than when he first tried.

He put on the magic ring again and particleized in front of the mirror, carefully observing the invisibility during the particleization process.

The good news is that you can remain invisible before and after the particle state, as long as you are wearing the ring.

The bad news is that during the particleization process, there is a moment when the body will lose its invisibility protection for the body that has not yet been particleized due to particleization.

In other words, the ring's invisibility ability will only work on one target, and the particle-ized ring will only make the particle-ized body enter the invisible state.

Parts of the body that have not yet been particleized will lose the invisibility effect during that time.

But Qin Zhibo is not able to maintain the particle state like the Kunyang people at present. It is good enough that he can practice passing through the iron door in a limited time.

"It seems we need to find a way..."

Qin Zhibo pondered in front of the mirror and soon came up with a solution that was not really a solution.

That is to make the finger wearing the ring finally enter the particle state.

Right now, he is unable to make his entire body enter the particle state at once, but the entity is definitely much more conspicuous than the translucent body after particleization.

In a situation where one of the two must be exposed, I would rather expose my translucent body.

Qin Zhibo made up his mind and summoned it again.

As his own "shadow", the Stand User can train the same skill nearby while he is training a certain skill himself.

The proficiency gained will also enter your body twice as much.

In this way, Qin Zhibo and the stand user each found a toilet door and a room door and began to train particleization.

……

On the other side, Kuroba Kaito and Terai Kōnosuke were also busy.

They opened the luggage they brought, and inside were various paraglider parts, poker gun parts, rope gun parts, etc.

In order to pass the customs inspection, the master and servant disassembled all the equipment into very small parts, and then told the customs that these were fishing equipment and magic show props.

Of course, these props were designed from the beginning to facilitate customs clearance.

After working hard until nightfall, Kuroba Kaito finally assembled all the props successfully, put on the white top hat on his head, and transformed into Kaito Kid.

"The magnificent moon thief is about to appear in the sky over Las Vegas~"

After taking the notice letter prepared by Terai Huangzhisuke and putting it in his arms, Kaito Kid came to the balcony of the hotel, jumped down, and disappeared under the balcony railing.

Terai Huangzhisuke immediately ran to the balcony and checked worriedly, but the next second, the spread white wings dived upward and flew into the distance.

"Master..."

……

Kaito Kidd flew slowly in the sky, like a big white bird wandering in the black ocean.

Soon, the citizens of Las Vegas saw this impossible-to-ignore presence in the night sky.

"what is that?"

"UFO?"

Las Vegas is very close to Area 51, and people here subconsciously thought it was a UFO and took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

But soon, people used telescopes to observe the figure and found that it was actually a human flying in the sky.

"It's a person!"

"That turned out to be a person!"

"It seems to be... Kaito Kidd!"

A citizen who was familiar with the international thief mentioned the name.

Kaito Kidd looked at the crowds of passersby gathering below and smiled with satisfaction. His goal had been achieved.

The next step is to go to the police station to send a notice letter.

Chapter 1013 Eve

In the hotel room, Qin Zhibo and his "black spot" - the stand-in user were still practicing particleization.

After practicing from the afternoon to the evening, my particleization skill has been upgraded to level 3, and I can now pass through the 0.5cm thick glass door of the bathroom.

The density of glass is 2.5, slightly higher than that of stone, and can almost be regarded as a substitute for stone.

But this level is far from enough to pass through a steel door.

At this time, Qin Zhibo thought of Hiroki Sawada who was far away in another world.

If one had the power of Hiroki Sawada's next-generation artificial intelligence, he could easily crack the casino's security system and enter the vault without even needing an identity verification card.

Unfortunately, the preview time is 12: midnight tomorrow, and it is too late to go back to Japan now.

Qin Zhibo also asked Heiyu Qianying why he didn't choose daytime. Doesn't the "Black Crow in the Night" have to be exposed to light the whole time?

The explanation given by Hei Yu Qianying is that Las Vegas is a city that never sleeps, and there is enough light in the sky above the city even at midnight.

And because the casino refused to allow the police to enter the vault to capture the thief Crow, the Las Vegas police will install large searchlights on the high-rise buildings outside the casino.

With the lights from these searchlights, there is no need to worry about insufficient light.

This is also the impression that Kuroba Chikage had previously created for the police through his identity as the Phantom Thief Crow, that the Phantom Thief Crow could use a hang glider.

Qin Zhibo was still practicing particle formation when the music program on the living room TV suddenly stopped and was replaced by an urgent news broadcast.

"An urgent news interruption. At 7:20 tonight, several citizens witnessed Kaito Kidd appearing over Las Vegas and captured footage..."

A blurry, shaky video popped up on the TV screen. The sound in the video included the screams of passers-by, and the protagonist of the picture was a small white dot slowly passing through the night sky.

Then, the news anchor returned to the TV screen and continued the report.

"At the same time, the Las Vegas Police Department received a letter from Kaito Kidd, stating that Kaito Kidd will receive the black diamond 'Black Crow in the Night' at midnight tomorrow..."

"This preview time coincides with the recent release of Phantom Thief Crow..."

"A Las Vegas police spokesperson said police are currently in contact with Interpol..."

Qin Zhibo stood in front of the TV and saw the news.

It is now 8:10, and half an hour has passed since Kaito Kidd's first test flight.

As for why he appeared in the public eye in a high-profile manner before committing the crime this time, Qin Zhibo also guessed the reason.

If you just send a dry warning letter with a smiley face to the police station, the police will most likely think it is a prank. After all, Kaito Kid has not committed any crimes outside of Japan since his "resurrection".

There are even rumors that Kaito Kid is actually a Japanese and even lives in Tokyo, Japan.

Because the first show of the "resurrected" Kaito Kid was in Tokyo, Japan, and the activities were almost all in the Tokyo area.

But this statement is not advisable. After all, Kaito Kidd first appeared in Paris, France 18 years ago.

"Forget it, I'll just continue practicing mine..."

After reading the news, Qin Zhibo turned around and continued to train his skills.

But compared with Qin Zhibo, Nakamori Ginzo, who is far away in Tokyo, Japan, cannot remain calm.

He was on vacation today and was sitting at home with his daughter Aoko, watching TV and eating lunch. He happened to see the latest news about Kaito Kid on TV.

"...A Las Vegas Police Department spokesperson stated that the Las Vegas police will stop at nothing to ensure that Kaito Kidd is defeated on American soil..."

Hearing this, Nakamori Ginzo, who was still chewing vegetable leaves, became furious and immediately slammed the table and stood up.

"No! I'm going to Las Vegas!"

"Kaito Kidd is mine!"

Nakamori Aoko, who was standing nearby, quickly advised, "Dad, your English isn't good, and you're in America and you're unfamiliar with the place. How are you going to catch Kaito Kid?"

"But..." Nakamori Ginzo was still unwilling to give in.

"There's nothing to worry about. Kaito Kidd won't be caught so easily. After all, dad has been catching him for so many years, right?"

Aoko Nakamori's words woke me up from my dream. What my daughter said makes sense.

If Kaito Kidd was caught by an outsider in an instant, wouldn't that be equivalent to negating his 18 years of hard work?

I am not a waste, so Kaito Kidd is not a waste either.

Kaito Kidd is not a loser, so he would not be caught by the Las Vegas police.

I'm the only one who can catch Kaito Kidd!

Thinking of this, Nakamori Ginzo instantly regained his composure, tilted his head to look at the time, and calculated the time at midnight in Las Vegas, USA in his mind.

But at this moment, he discovered that there was one person missing at the table.

"Aoko, why isn't Kaito here?"

Ever since Kaito's mother went abroad for a trip, Kuroba Kaito often comes to Nakamori's house for meals on weekends. In the past two months, Nakamori Ginzo has become accustomed to it, as if it has been like this for many years.

"Kaito went to Las Vegas to see his mom. Didn't I tell you yesterday?"
