Chapter 82 The Red-faced Mermaid
"I really can't help it."

Gao Yuan said helplessly.

"what?"

Koizumi Hongzi's expression changed slightly, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Well... let me think about it... find him first."

Gao Yuan thought about it and said, "I think he should already be there."

With that said, Gao Yuan moved away from the crowd and began to look around at the police deployment at the scene.

In the sky, there are helicopter units circling; on the road around the clock tower, there are two patrol cars driving back and forth; outside the museum where the clock tower is located, there are many police officers on duty, and the deployment of the police force in the museum is obviously very good.

Koizumi Hongzi followed and asked, "How do you want to find him?"

Faced with this situation, Gao Yuan didn't know what to say for a while. After all, he had read the original work and knew that Kaito Kuroba first borrowed the identity of a police officer driving a patrol car and sneaked into the Clock Tower Pavilion.

But how to explain this kind of thing!
"Think about it, the clock tower is completely surrounded by police inside and outside, and there are helicopter patrols in the sky, so what method can Kidd use to reach the clock?"

Gao Yuan began to forcefully explain, "Because of the existence of the helicopter, his usual hang glider is useless. Then there is only one way that can be thought of, disguising as a policeman and sneaking into the museum."

After speaking, Gao Yuan felt that the logic seemed credible, and continued: "However, there are too many police forces deployed inside and outside the museum, and they all act in groups, and every policeman is also under the nose of other policemen. It is too difficult to find a camouflage. Then, it is better to start with the patrol car on the street, after all, because of the road, the patrol car will be alone in the process of driving."

As he said that, Gao Yuan took out his mobile phone and called up the map of the surrounding area to check the roads nearby.

Because Gao Yuan remembered a detail in the original work, after Kidd disguised himself as a policeman driving a patrol car, he tied the policeman himself directly to the back seat of the vehicle, and then ran to the police officer in front of the museum wearing Kidd's top hat, Said that he saw a figure suspected to be Kidd.

Obviously, the parking position of the vehicle at that time was not far from the museum where the clock tower is located, and it was located in a remote place.

So, after finding a path that meets the conditions, Gao Yuan decided to sit back and wait.And around 11:30, Gao Yuan, who was guarding the secluded part of the path, finally waited for a patrol car to stop here.

"There are still 28 minutes and 30 seconds until the preview time. Then, Izumi Yangyi, who lives in Jianggutian and is single at the age of 27, makes an inspection tour. Please lend me your name and face!"

Sitting in the patrol car, Kidd finished his disguise and said so.

However, the sudden sound of knocking on the window startled him. He had already thought of various situations for a while, and was ready to fight back.However, after seeing the person outside the window was Gao Yuan, Kidd was still taken aback.

"Is there a problem?"

Faced with the inspector's face, Kidd rolled down the car window as if nothing had happened and said.

Gao Yuan threw to him a small air cushion the size of a box of poker that he got from Dr. A Li.

"Press the button above, and it will inflate into an air cushion in just a few seconds. If you are really desperate at the end of the day, choose to jump down! Kuroba-san."

Gao Yuan smiled, turned around and left after speaking, leaving only Kidd, who didn't know why, still in the car for a while, but in the end, Kidd still put the air cushion on.

Before returning to the clock tower, Gao Yuan began to wait for the development of the situation.

It was also at this time that another helicopter flew over from a distance, Koizumi Hongzi walked up to Gao Yuan, and looked at the helicopter with a solemn expression.

"Here we come. He exudes the same clear and powerful aura as Hei Yu, is as cunning and agile as a demon, and has a pair of insightful eyes. Who is he?"

Listening to Koizumi Hongzi's words, Gao Yuan knew the answer, but could only remain silent - it was my neighbor, Kudo Shinichi.

Then, as Gao Yuan knew, at midnight, smoke came out of the clock tower, and when the smoke cleared, the hands on the dial disappeared.

However, in fact, during the smoke rising, a curtain was used to cover the dial of the clock and project the appearance of the dial.

Afterwards, the helicopter that Kudo Shinichi was on approached the clock tower, and then, Kudo Shinichi used Officer Megure's pistol to break a rope that tied the curtain, so that the existence of the curtain was completely exposed to the eyes of the onlookers.

The helicopter that was too close also blocked Kidd's plan to use the hang glider to escape. In desperation, Kidd thought of Gao Yuan's words. Although he was a little reluctant, this was indeed the last choice when he had nowhere to go!
Therefore, Kidd took the initiative to break the rope of the curtain, letting himself fall into the crowd along with the curtain, and the portable air cushion provided by Gao Yuan really provided the most important guarantee for this bold technique.

Seeing that Kidd escaped without any risk in the end, Koizumi Koko finally breathed a sigh of relief, while Takato turned his gaze to Nakamori Aoko, and as expected, Kuroba Kaito appeared there.

This incident was originally done by Kuroba Kaito to protect the clock tower from being relocated. At the same time, it also exposed that the owner of the clock tower secretly replaced the gems on the clock tower hands.

And here is the place where Kaito Kuroba and Aoko Nakamori, two childhood sweethearts, met for the first time.

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan smiled helplessly—Kaito Kuroba, you owe me a favor this time.

However, it was still too late today, so Gao Yuan said goodbye to Koizumi Hongzi and went home first.

The next day, Gao Yuan received an email from Kaito Kuroba asking him to come to a billiard bar called "Blue Parrot".For this name, Takato has the impression that it seems to be the shop opened by Kaitou Kidd's assistant, Terai Konosuke.

Coming to the door of "Blue Parrot", Takato saw Kaito Kuroba and Konosuke Terai waiting there, but there was no customer in the store at this time.

"Detective Sensible, thank you for helping Kaito-sama yesterday."

Seeing Gao Yuan's arrival, Terai Konosuke expressed his gratitude to Gao Yuan after a brief exchange of greetings, while Kuroba Kaito on the side looked displeased.

"I said, you guessed in advance that I could only escape by jumping off the building. Could it be that you were the one who helped the police officers last night!"

"Misunderstood. I just listened to Koizumi Hongko's words and made some preparations in advance."

Gao Yuan explained, and then changed the topic, "But you actually called me over on your own initiative, there must be something else?"

In this regard, Kaito Kuroba glanced at Konosuke Terai, and motioned for him to explain.

"Mr. Wise, do you know 'Red Faced Mermaid'?"

Terai Konosuke asked.

Gao Yuan has some impressions of this name, it seems to be a gem that appeared in the original work.

"I've heard a little bit about it, it's a ruby."

Seeing that Takato's words were not polite, Konosuke Terai nodded and continued.

"Yes. The owner of this ruby ​​is a well-known Italian actress. But not long ago, the actress was involved in a shipwreck while on a cruise ship and unfortunately died. This 'red-faced mermaid' And therefore disappeared.”

Hearing this, Gao Yuan frowned, because Gao Yuan remembered that in the original work, it seemed that this gem was finally in the hands of Suzuki Jirokichi, who wanted to compete with Kaitou Kidd.

"However, in the gemstone circle recently, there was a rumor that a fisherman found this 'red-faced mermaid' at sea."

Terai Konosuke continued.

"I don't know if this news is true or not. But the place where the shipwreck happened is not far from Wakasa Bay. After analyzing this rumor with Grandpa Terai, I think that if a fisherman really found this gem at sea, then it is very likely that this fisherman should They are the fishermen living in Wakasa Bay.”

Kuroba Kaito said.

"And in that area, the most likely place is that—American Island!"
