Conan: I'm really not a model worker at a winery

Chapter 478 Failed theft?
"There is only 1 minute left before Kaito Kidd's announcement! Everyone get ready! Even a mouse can't be let go!!"

"Yes!!!"

Central Exhibition Hall.

Ginzo Nakamori loudly issued orders to his subordinate police officers.

As the preview time of Kaito Kidd approached, the audience at the scene and in front of the TV became nervous.

The media within the security area also held their breath and did their best to capture the scene where Phantom Thief Kidd stole the gem... No, it was the scene where the police caught Phantom Thief Kidd.

Of course, the media will not keep filming the air, because there will be no ratings at all, so before the appearance of Kaitou Kidd, they all left the footage to the police, which can be said to have given enough face.

The host of the TV station is always paying attention to the time, with a solemn expression, facing the camera:
"Now there is only half a minute left before the preview time... With such a tight defense, can Kaitou Kidd really succeed in stealing gems? Let us wait and see!"

A countdown clock was also thoughtfully displayed on the broadcasting station.

The picture was finally fixed on the bronze portrait in the center of the exhibition hall.

Everyone was very curious about how the phantom thief Kidd planned to steal this bronze figure over two meters long with jewels embedded in its eyes... including a black figure that was also in the exhibition hall but no one noticed.

Only Mao Lilan outside the exhibition hall was not interested in the scene at all - she was busy looking for Conan.

"Really, where did he go again, and he didn't answer the phone..." Mao Lilan's brows were full of sorrow, and she puffed her mouth angrily.

She really had to talk about it when she went back...

What if one day Conan is stolen by the Kaitou Kidd?
……

"Ten seconds left..."

In the exhibition hall, a needle can be heard.

Ginzo Nakamori stared at the clock tightly, "There are still five seconds..."

"Come on! Phantom Thief Kidd, hurry up!"

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

For a moment, everyone watching TV and in the exhibition hall held their breath.

Especially the people in the exhibition hall, whether it was the media or the police, their eyes were rolling around, trying to predict where the Kaitou Kidd would come and go.

……but.

... nothing happened.

The second hand passed by a few times calmly, the exhibition hall was quiet, and nothing appeared.

"... Kaitou Kidd, missed the appointment?" Nakamori Ginzo stared blankly at the exhibition hall where everything was going as usual, was stunned for a while, and then let out an exaggerated and frightening laugh like Kogoro Mori, "Hahahaha! I knew that Kaitou Kid must be afraid of our police—"

'Kara——! '

Just as he said his proud words, the glass window on the zenith suddenly shattered in an instant.

A figure in a gray cloak descended from the sky without any auxiliary tools, and landed on the top of the bronze statue like that!

The police officer who was poured by a pile of glass shards could hardly open his eyes, but he heard the surrounding media personnel shouting in surprise: "Kid the Kaitou Kidd? Kidd the Kaitou has appeared!"

The audience watching the live TV broadcast also let out an exclamation.

However, some of Kidd's die-hard fans keenly discovered that there seems to be something wrong with this 'Phantom Thief Kidd'...

……

Osaka.

Hattori Heiji, who was watching TV Tokyo's broadcast, stood up suddenly, and under the astonished gazes of his family, he put his entire face on the TV screen: "This, this mask is..."

……

Nakamori Ginzo was fascinated by the glass shards for a while, and immediately looked at the bronze statue after he didn't feel the object fall.

After seeing the gray-robed man on the bronze statue, he immediately yelled: "Hey! Who are you! Don't you know that destroying public property is illegal!!"

Other police officers: "..."

Hey, sir, this doesn't seem to be the point!

media:"……"

What?They got it wrong?Isn't this Phantom Thief Kidd?
audience:"……"

It turns out that destroying public property is illegal.

The gray-robed man on the bronze statue only showed half of his white mask. Looking at them, he tilted his head, as if he didn't quite understand.

But then, he dug out the amethyst from the eyes of the bronze statue on his own, and stared at the moonlight outside the window for a while.

"There's no such thing as Pandora..."

The gray-robed man muttered to himself, his voice a little muffled.

It's just that the sound was so small that only two people present could hear it clearly.

One of them is Ginzo Nakamori.

The police officer who was keen to catch Kidd, the phantom thief, froze for a moment, then asked in confusion, "What Pandora?"

As soon as his voice fell, the floor tiles at his feet were suddenly pushed up: "What? Pandora?"

Ginzo Nakamori lowered his head, and stared at Kaito Kuroba who just got up from the basement and was dressed as a phantom thief for three seconds.

The former just stretched out his hand and pointed at Kaitou Kidd when he wanted to say something.

The gray-robed man on the bronze statue let go suddenly, and casually threw a palm-sized purple gem at Kaidou's feet, and said in a muffled voice, "It doesn't look like the gem you're looking for~ Little Kidd? "

Kuroba Kaito: "..."

Don't think I can't recognize who you are just by keeping your voice muffled, hey!

Sure enough, Uncle Lie was tricking him again this time, right?

"Phantom Thief Kidd!"

"You don't want to escape!"

Hei Yu quickly twitched his eyes.

Facing Police Officer Nakamori who had jumped towards him, and two bastard detectives who were chasing after him.

He decisively pulled himself out from the crack in the ground and climbed onto the bronze statue.

As for the gemstones on the ground, he didn't even look at them at all.

——Anyway, it wasn't the 'Pandora' he was looking for that could make people eternal, so it would be useless for him to take it.

and……

Kaito Kuroba just shook out the super big balloon he was hanging on his body and was about to ascend to the sky to escape from the roof. When he wanted to drag Lie, who had no signs at all, to run away, he saw the man in gray robe, jumped suddenly, and his body jumped up Nearly 20 meters away from the skylight with broken glass...

Kuroba Kaito: "..."

Well, he'd better take care of himself first...

Ahhh!Damn it, why both Baima and this Kudo came over to get involved!

He didn't show up by pinching, and he didn't even touch the gemstone. He was stealing a loneliness!
and also……

'Why is Uncle Lie here? Kaito Kuroba was a little confused.

On the contrary, Uncle Blade, who said yesterday that he wanted to see how he stole the gems, did not come... Could it be Uncle Lie who replaced him?
Forget it, anyway, after escaping, grab Uncle Lie and ask him.

……

After finally chasing Kaito up from the basement, Hakuba Tan and Conan panted heavily. Both of them were ashamed, and they gritted their teeth and looked at Kidd who was about to fly out of the skylight, but they were at their wits end.

Conan also wanted to see if he could use something to smash Kidd's Ascension Ball, but after looking around, he found that the only thing that could be kicked was the purple gemstone the size of his face...

Conan still had his leaky rubber football on his head, and pressed the belt switch twice, but nothing came out.

And Baima Tan's originally neat hair still had a few unlit flowers stuck in it...

visible.

They had a fierce battle with Kaitou Kidd in the basement before.
