Conan Rick's Investigator

"profound……"

Ginzo Nakamori lowered his head and thought for a moment, his expression suddenly changed as he realized something.

"Aoko, does Kaito know anything about Kaito Kid?"

"It's okay. We've discussed it occasionally at school..."

"That'll do! Aoko, call Kaito right away."

Qingzi, who was eating, looked up at her suddenly serious father and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Dad?"

Nakamori Ginzo said seriously, "Since Kaito is in Las Vegas now, let Kaito record a video of Kaito Kid committing a crime for me."

Aoko was speechless for a moment, "Dad, they're traveling, and it's such a dangerous place, why did you let Kaito join in the fun?"

Nakamori Ginzo put his face in front of Aoko and shook his head repeatedly, "It's not dangerous, it's not dangerous. Kaito Kid never kills anyone. I guarantee this with my personal integrity."

"Besides, I did this to catch Kaito Kid as soon as possible. I believe Kaito can understand my good intentions."

Seeing her father said this, Nakamori Aoko had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, let me give it a try..."

……

The Star Hotel, Las Vegas.

Kuroba Kaito sat comfortably on the sofa, watching the big news he created with great joy.

In just one hour, the news of Kaito Kidd appearing in Las Vegas appeared on various TV channels, squeezing out the normal programming time.

Some channels have even started broadcasting the special program "Kaito Kid VS Kaito Crow" in the form of live broadcast, taking advantage of the popularity of the topic to gain a lot of ratings.

"What is Kaito Kidd's purpose in choosing to steal from the same target at the same time as Kaito Crow?"

"Let's invite Mr. Jimmy Carter, professor of criminology at the University of Nevada, to explain..."

A pot-bellied man in a brown suit walked over from off-screen, shook hands with the host, and then sat down in a chair.

It can be seen that this program was produced temporarily by the TV station to attract attention, and many of the lines and actions are not skillful.

But this did not affect Kuroba Kaito from watching the show with great interest.

This is also one of Kuroba Kaito's little hobbies, which is to read the comments given to him by netizens on the Internet.

This process is quite interesting, just like a magician reviewing the audience's applause after a magic show.

In contrast, he rarely watches TV, because TV is the mainstream media's voice channel, so naturally it will criticize him in various ways.

As the successor of the cultural IP "Kaito Kid", Kuroba Kaito watched with interest the two middle-aged men on TV guessing about the relationship between himself and Kaito Crow.

As expected of a professor of criminology at the University of Nevada, he summarized the following possibilities just over an hour after the incident occurred.

First, Kaito Kidd and Kaito Crow are in a competitive relationship, and the two are fighting for the "Black Crow in the Night"

Second, Kaito Crow is Kaito Kid's imitator, because Kaito Crow only appeared recently, while Kaito Kid appeared 18 years ago. Kaito Kid wanted to use this method to meet his imitator brother.

Third, Kaito Kidd and Kaito Crow are in the same group and want to use this method to achieve some ulterior motives.

"So, Mr. Carter, which of these three possibilities do you think is the most likely?" asked the host.

Jimmy Carter shook his big belly and said, "Based on my current analysis, I personally think the most likely scenario is..."

Kuroba Kaito was watching with great interest when the phone suddenly rang.

He quickly turned down the volume with the remote control and picked up the phone. It was a Japanese number, and the number looked familiar.

"Hey?"

"Is that Kaito? I'm Aoko..."

"Qingzi, what's going on? If you want some local specialties, I'll bring them back to you..."

Kuroba Kaito wanted to deal with the inspection as soon as possible, but Aoko told Kuroba Kaito what Ginzo Nakamori had just asked her to do.

"How's it going? Kaito, is that convenient?"

Hei Yu Kuaidou rolled his eyes and replied, "Okay, that's it then. Is there nothing else?"

Kuroba Kaito couldn't wait to see what the criminology professor on TV would say, but Nakamori Aoko's voice became awkward at this time.

"Kaito, if you meet a beautiful girl in Las Vegas, you..."

"I?"

"...Forget it, you're in trouble. I'm dead!"

"Hello? Hello!"

Before Kuroba Kaito could ask what kind of beautiful girl he met, Aoko on the other end of the phone hung up.

Kuroba Kaito glanced at the phone, muttered "How weird", and quickly turned on the TV volume.

But at this time, the TV host had already shaken hands with the professor and stood up to say goodbye to the audience.

"So, audience, let's wait and see tomorrow what the outcome of the confrontation between the two great thieves will be!"

Kuroba Kaito: "Fuck!"

……

The next day.

From the morning on, Las Vegas began to be flooded with tourists.

The vast majority of these people came from far away to chase their idol because the news about Kaito Kidd appearing in Las Vegas was broadcast on Pan American TV last night.

Unlike the recently debuted Kaito Crow, Kaito Kid is considered an old internet celebrity in the world of thieves, and his global fan appeal is not unfounded.

Kuroba Kaito stood on the balcony of the hotel, looking at the endless stream of vehicles downstairs, feeling very happy.

After a while, Terai Huangzhisuke came back from outside and brought a set of women's clothes.

"These are the brands that Madam usually wears. I've bought them while hiding my identity..."

Since I'm going to cosplay as Kuroba Chikage tonight, I have to get the costume ready first.

Kuroba Kaito quickly closed the curtains, unpacked the packages, tore off the labels, and changed into one piece of women's clothing after another, finally putting on a black evening dress.

Soon, a brand new female version of Kuroba Kaito appeared.

After putting on the human skin mask of Kuroba Chikage, Kuroba Kaito became a real "transvestite".

After turning around twice in front of the dressing mirror, Kuroba Kaito was very satisfied with his cross-dressing skills. This was his most successful disguise as a female character.

"Perfect~"

Next, Kuroba Kaito checked his various equipment again. They were all tested during the test flight yesterday and there were no problems.

After changing back into his original clothes, Kuroba Kaito walked to the window and couldn't help but think of his opponent tonight.

Kaito Crow, what are you doing now?

……

At this time, in another room of the Starry Sky Hotel, Qin Zhibo was also checking the box that Heiyu Qianying had just delivered.

When the box was opened, it contained various equipment of Kaito Kidd, but they had all turned black.

Black cape, black paraglider folder, black top hat, black suit...

There are a lot of equipment inside, but there is no playing card gun, the iconic equipment of Kaito Kid.

Qin Zhibo put on these equipment and then put on the human skin mask that Heiyu Qianying used when stealing things, and immediately transformed into a gentleman in black.

"Hei Yu Daoyi... is this what he looks like?"

Qin Zhibo looked at himself in the mirror. His handsome face was angular and the tall suit outlined his model-like figure. This suit was made by Hei Yu Qianying based on her husband's appearance.

In addition to these, Hei Yu Qianying also sent a voice changer.

The voice changer is tied around the neck and is almost exactly the same as the collar-type voice changer invented by Dr. Agasa. Qin Zhibo seriously suspects that it is the same model.

But Qin Zhibo doesn't need this thing, he can change his voice by himself. Anyway, he doesn't need to reveal his identity to Kuroba Kaito.

After finishing his outfit for tonight, Qin Zhibo changed back into his normal clothes and put away his black battle robe.

After working hard for most of last night, he has now cultivated his particle skills to level 4, and will definitely reach level 5 before midnight.

With level 5 particleization, passing through a not-so-thick iron door should not be a problem.

But the problem is that Qin Zhibo is now worried about what to do if he fails to evacuate in time and is trapped inside by the casino’s security system?

Even if you can pass through the iron gate, you still need time to prepare to enter the particle state, and you can't just leave.

Thinking about it, Qin Zhibo decided to try the Kunyang people's weapon - the disintegration ray gun.

Although this disintegration ray gun is high-tech, Qin Zhibo studied it carefully after returning and found that it is actually not that great.

The bullet needed is actually electricity.

Chapter 1014: Lightless Trap

The disintegration ray gun uses electricity, Qin Zhibo is not making a blind guess.

First of all, in the Kunyang people's city of Satori, the main energy source used is electricity, and silver cables can be seen everywhere in the city.

It’s just that the electricity they use may be a little more advanced than that of humans, using technologies such as room-temperature superconductivity.

Secondly, the gun's magazine is similar to a battery, with two pin sockets at the bottom, which coincide with the electrical sockets in Sato's apartment.

Humans do not have a power socket of corresponding specifications for this type of socket, but it can be connected directly with wires.

Early in the morning, Qin Zhibo went out to the hardware store to buy electrical wires and a rectifier.

A rectifier is a small device that converts AC into DC. It actually contains a diode, and the output of the diode can convert AC into DC.

As for why direct current is used, it is because direct current charges faster than alternating current. Qin Zhibo guessed that the Kunyang people most likely used direct current.

Qin Zhibo used two wires to connect the battery of the disintegration ray gun in series with the rectifier, and then plugged the rectifier into the socket.

For safety reasons, Qin Zhibo let Shui Lai Yang Meng control the bait puppet to complete this step, while his real body stood far away.

"Wait a minute! I'll stand a little further away..."

Qin Zhibo came to the bathroom farthest from the socket in the bedroom, showing half of his head and directing Shui Lai Yang Meng.

"Okay, we can start."

Minase Yangmeng plugged the rectifier into the socket, and in an instant, the lights in the room suddenly trembled.

Then, the lights in the entire hotel flickered.

In the hotel lobby, the receptionist and tourists all looked up at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, which flickered on and off, not understanding what was going on.

Upon seeing this, the hotel lobby manager immediately contacted the backstage via intercom to inquire about the situation.

In the casino, the music suddenly stopped, the lights suddenly went out, and the gamblers who were spending money like water stopped betting and turned to look around.

Among them, Kuroba Chikage looked at the flickering lights above his head, and secretly thought that Kuroba Kaito and Terai Kōnosuke were testing the power source here in preparation for the night's operation.

However, Hei Yu Qianying has already studied the power system here thoroughly. The security system and the vault are independently powered, so it is useless to destroy the hotel's power supply.

At this time, Kuroba Kaito and Terai Kōnosuke, master and servant, were still in the room discussing their escape route for the night, when the light above their heads suddenly began to flicker.

The master and servant looked at each other, and Kuroba Kaito immediately realized what was going on.

"It's Kaito Crow! He's testing the hotel's electrical system!"

Terai Huangzhisuke murmured, "It seems that there will be a power outage at night? But if he does this, won't he alert the enemy? The casino will definitely be on guard..."

"So this person is just a newbie~"

Kuroba Kaito smiled confidently, "It doesn't matter. He reminded us anyway. We can bring an extra night vision goggles..."

……

Qin Zhibo in the room didn't know that his plugging not only affected his room, but also the power supply of the entire hotel.

But the effect didn't last long. After half a minute, everything was back to normal and the lights stabilized.

Qin Zhibo walked to the disintegration ray gun and found that the green energy bar on it was flashing, which should be charging.

"It's done!"
