Conan Rick's Investigator

"After all, this isn't something you see often... a miracle!"

……

In the vault, Kaito Kidd is looking for a way to escape.

Soon, the ventilation ducts on the pure white ceiling came into his sight.

"hey-hey……"

Kaito Kidd was secretly delighted, as his trick of escaping through the ventilation duct had always worked.

Even if the ventilation ducts here were welded shut in advance, the other party would send someone in to catch him sooner or later.

As long as someone dared to come and arrest him, he was confident that he could use his powerful disguise skills to get away with it. He had used this trick to fool Officer Nakamori and his colleagues countless times.

Hehe, the black crow in the middle of the night, I'll take it first~

When passing by the platform, Kaito Kidd was about to take the black diamond in the box.

But at this moment, the vault suddenly made an "eng" sound and lost all light.

Chapter 1015: The Phantom Thief Crow is a “crow”?

As the power went out, the vault was plunged into darkness.

Kaito Kidd was surprised for a moment, and in a second he changed into Kaito Kidd's white battle robe, and took out the night vision goggles that he had prepared long ago from his fake chest.

"Hehe~ This won't be difficult for me..."

Wearing night vision goggles, Kaito Kidd's vision was reopened, and the originally pure white vault was covered with a layer of gray-green haze.

He couldn't help but wonder why there was a sudden power outage at this time?

Did the casino see him entering the vault and block his view, or was it a power outage planned by the Kaito Crow?

Kaito Kidd thought about it for a moment, but only for a second before he gave up thinking about the cause and effect.

Regardless, the gem is now within reach.

As long as you take the gem and leave here, you win.

Kaito Kidd smiled and reached out to take the gems from the table.

But when he touched it, there was only an empty metal box, and the gem that was just inside was gone.

"Um?!"

Kaito Kidd was shocked. His hand clearly didn't touch the gem just now, so how could the gem disappear?

It’s the Phantom Thief Black Crow!

Kaito Kidd immediately became alert and looked around nervously, trying to find the figure of Kaito Black Crow in the dark vision.

Suddenly, a strange figure came into his sight.

Night vision goggles were not very effective in a completely enclosed, lightless environment. Kaito Kidd could only see a hazy, wide shadow standing in the innermost corner of the vault.

And in the center of the shadow was a fiery red light divided into three petals.

The fiery red dots of light stared at the human opposite with hatred like a hellhound.

Is that the light from the night vision goggles?

But when did he come in?

Kaito Kidd narrowed his eyes and guessed that the person standing opposite the vault was the Kaito Crow from Las Vegas, and was surprised at the timing of the other party's sneaking into the vault.

But after only a few seconds of silent confrontation, Kaito Kidd sensed something was wrong.

A sickening stench began to linger in the air, causing his nose, which had a keen sense of smell, to twitch constantly.

In the corner of the vault, the shadow kept making creepy noises.

Sigh...

hiss--

Click, click...

hiss--

It sounded like something hard hitting the metal floor in a rhythmic pattern, accompanied by a scraping sound.

Kaito Kidd felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in his heart, his brows furrowed, and his blood ran cold.

All these strange phenomena gave rise to a new idea in his mind.

Is that the Kaito Crow in the corner?

The shadowy figure was obviously much larger than a human's body, enough to accommodate three of him.

No, this stalemate is not a solution...

Kaito Kidd made up his mind and was about to ask "Who are you" when the shadow in the vault suddenly moved.

The shadow slowly approached Kaito Kidd, and the black outline appeared in the gray-green field of vision.

At this moment, Kaito Kidd finally saw what he was facing.

That's not a human being at all!

That's a black crow!

A huge black crow!

Looking at the "black crow", Kaito Kid's mouth gradually widened.

……

The casino above is still open for business.

Although it is now 11:40, and it is almost time for the crime predicted by Kaito Kid and Kaito Crow, real gamblers don't care about the thieves.

However, if the casino set up a betting table and asked people to guess whether Kaito Kidd would win, Kaito Crow would win, or the casino would win, they would be more interested.

Even if you wanted to watch the fun, the casino had sent four people to guard the mahogany door leading to the backstage of the casino, as if no one was allowed in.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the gambling table closer to the mahogany door.

A man in a brown windbreaker suddenly stood up from the gambling table and shouted, "You're cheating! I caught you cheating!"

"What are you talking about? I didn't!" The man in the jacket on the other side immediately slammed the table and stood up to retort.

"Don't try to quibble. I saw it all! You pulled out the card hidden in your sleeve!"

"You! How dare you slander someone's innocence out of thin air!"

At the gambling table, two guests who were playing poker suddenly started arguing, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Upon seeing this, the dealer immediately stepped forward to stop them to prevent the conflict between the two sides from escalating further.

However, both of them had bad tempers, especially the man in the windbreaker who accused others of cheating. He rushed directly to the man in the jacket and grabbed the collar of his jacket.

"You're cheating! Give me back my money! Give it back!"

The man in the windbreaker roared, but the man in the jacket was not to be outdone.

"Damn it! You bastard, I'm going to beat you to a pulp!"

The man in the jacket punched the man in the windbreaker on the cheek, and a visible dent immediately appeared on his face.

"Well, it was you who wanted to fight, so don't be rude!"

The man in the windbreaker retaliated with a straight punch that hit the man in the jacket's left eye.

As a result, the conflict between the two sides directly developed into a physical conflict, and there was no possibility of either side giving in.

"Don't fight! Don't fight!"

The casino dealer wanted to step forward to separate the fight, but someone threw a wrong punch and hit the dealer in the nose, and blood immediately flowed from both nostrils.

“Ah~ blood! I’m bleeding!”

The dealer screamed in fear at the mere speck of blood.

And these disturbances happened right in front of the four security guards at the redwood door.

The four of them looked at each other, and three of them decided to go over and calm the situation, leaving one person to continue standing guard.

At this moment, Qin Zhibo, who was hiding nearby, took out a gun, aimed it at the head of the last security guard, and fired a shot.

Four bullets from one shot penetrated his head at the same time.

——They don’t have enough manpower, let’s go over and take a look.

——Anyway, the door is locked, and I’m nearby.

——There are no suspicious people around

——Quick decision can ensure greater safety

The security guard didn't know why these lively thoughts suddenly appeared in his mind, but after thinking about it, it did make sense.

Help your companions resolve the disturbance quickly so that the others can return to their posts quickly.

If you are guarding the place alone and Kaito Crow or Kaito Kidd breaks in, and you can't hold them accountable and let them pass, you will be the one to take the blame in the end.

Besides, I am just a security guard, how can I possibly stop an internationally famous thief?

Only a few thousand dollars a month, why risk your life?

With the idea of making the boss understand what "value for money" means, the remaining security guard quickly ran to the gambling table and started doing his own job.

Facing the unguarded mahogany door, Qin Zhibo took a deep breath and kept repeating the idea of "particleization" in his head.

As it entered the particle state, a translucent figure gradually appeared in the originally empty air.

He first inserted his hand into the mahogany door, then his right foot, torso... and finally his body went through!

But no one in the casino saw this shocking scene.

……

After entering the casino backstage, Qin Zhibo quickly arrived at the elevator according to the map provided by Hei Yu Qianying.

Elevator doors require identity verification to open.

Qin Zhibo didn't have an identity card, but fortunately, after two days of training, he had already reached level 5 in particle transformation.

His body became translucent again and he transformed into particles to get into the elevator.

This elevator has only two destinations, so there are only up and down buttons.

Qin Zhibo decisively pressed the down button and the elevator began to move down.

The elevator slowly descended, and leisurely music was playing in the elevator. The moment of relaxation made Qin Zhibo think of the commotion above.

The man in the windbreaker who caused the commotion was, of course, "Qin Zhibo" himself, who was controlled by Minase Yangmeng.

He first used the wireless microphone clipped to the bait doll to speak, causing a dispute.

After that, the fighting job fell on Minase Yomu herself. Although the girl was not good at this, there were people around to stop her, so the man in the jacket would not destroy the bait doll's health bar.

Afterwards, Minase Yangmeng can pretend that his mouth was broken by the other party, remain silent, and wait until he finishes the work.

"Ding--"

The elevator beeped and the door opened.

Qin Zhibo took it off, ended his invisibility, and appeared openly in the corridor of the underground vault in the form of Kaito Crow.

This scene was also captured by the surveillance camera in the corridor.

"Report! Another person was spotted in the vault corridor!"

Lloyd Blake and Snake looked at the screen next to them and saw the Phantom Thief Crow suddenly appear in the corridor.

"Phantom Thief Crow!"

"When did he break in?"

Snake was shocked. He was so busy looking at the vault where Kaito Kidd was trapped that he didn't notice what was happening outside.

Lloyd Blake, who was sitting on a chair nearby, also stood up from his chair with a serious expression.
