Conan: The Second Personality of Kaitou Kidd

Chapter 166 Good Evening (Two in One)

On the helicopter, Kudo Shinichi's expression became serious.

He opened the cabin door, leaned his body halfway into the air, and looked at the top of the clock tower with breathless concentration.

The height of the helicopter hovering was higher than the top of the clock tower. When looking down from the helicopter, Kudo Shinichi could clearly see every scale of the huge clock.

The scale of each division is clearly defined, and the top of the scale is also empty, without any trace of the hour hand, as if it was an empty clock from the beginning, with no hour hand at all.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, with police officers on the ground, mid-air, and inside the clock tower, Kaitou Kidd easily stole the clock.

From beginning to end, no one saw his figure in action, and no one saw how the huge hour hand fell.

The action time of Kaitou Kidd is only three seconds when the smoke is filled.

Is three seconds enough for a person to break through the police line from the third floor, appear at the clock on the top floor, take the hour hand, and leave before the smoke clears?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.

On the walkie-talkie, Nakamori Ginzo's disbelief filled with shock and anger came, "Impossible!"

"It's only three seconds, and the hour hand is so big, how could Kidd escape!"

"Damn, that guy is too cunning." Mu Mu Shisan turned his head to look in the direction of the sniper, heaved a sigh of relief, and changed his words, "Fortunately, fortunately, that guy is cunning enough to create smoke. Didn't show up."

"The sniper didn't shoot, probably because the smoke blocked his sight, and he didn't see Kaito Kidd at all."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Kudo Shinichi, who seemed to have not heard the sound, and was still staring at the clock, and edited the message on his mobile phone, "I'll ask how the Counter-Strike teams are doing now."

"I really don't know how Kaito Kidd got into trouble with the sniper."

Kudo Shinichi still didn't move, he stared closely at the huge clock below, his brows slowly frowned.

He turned back and looked at the pilot of the helicopter, "Can you get closer to the clock tower? Please."

The helicopter swayed slightly and slowly approached the clock tower.

Kudo Shinichi looked at the clock again.

There were bursts of waves on the clock, and the originally well-defined scale began to shake slightly, like the surface of water blown by a breeze.

...it's cloth!
"The clock is shaking," Shinichi Kudo smiled slowly, and he raised the walkie-talkie, "Police Nakamori, listen to me!"

"Now! Get inside the clock!"

"Phantom Thief Kid is right there!"

He said loudly: "The hour hand was not stolen, it was just covered by a cloth!"

"It is covered by a cloth that is exactly the same as the clock, except that there is no hour hand."

"W-what?!" Nakamori Ginzo hurriedly responded, "I'll go right away!"

He cheered up and rushed towards the passage leading to the clock.

Behind the clock is a room where two police officers were guarding, but now they are two police officers in a comatose state.

In the middle of the room, there is a cover for a ventilation duct on the ground, and the opening of the ventilation duct on the ceiling is empty.

The situation at the scene is clear at a glance: Kaitou Kidd entered the inside of the clock through the ventilation duct.

Nakamori Ginzo: "!"

As he rushed to the inside of the clock, he seized the time to quickly reply to Kudo Shinichi, "The guard is unconscious."

While letting go of the walkie-talkie and pressing the buttons, Nakamori Ginzo lay on his stomach at the entrance of the passage connecting the room to the clock dial. He leaned out aggressively and stared outside.

It is not night outside, but a white cloth blown by the wind, and the long shadow of the white cloth is reflected on the clock.

Under the white cloth, on the dial of the clock, there was a white figure.

The white figure stood on the protruding disc in the center of the clock, in the thick shadow of the white cloth.

Kaito Kuroba held the hour hand pointing to 'twelve' with one hand, and put the other hand in his trouser pocket. With his heart beating wildly, he smiled at Ginzo Nakamori, "Ah, you are finally here, police department."

"Monster, Kaitou Kidd, it's really you!" Nakamori Ginzo stared until his eyes almost popped out of his sockets, and immediately reported via the walkie-talkie, "I found Kaitou Kidd, he's really here...!"

Before the hasty words were finished, there was a fierce wind that directly knocked the walkie-talkie into the edge of the clock.

That fierce wind is a card.

A whole body is white, and there is a black [A] card in the middle.

The one who shot the card was Kuroba Kaito.

He raised the card gun, suppressed his rapid heartbeat, and said in a leisurely tone: "It's a pity, Zhongmori Police Department. This time, I won again."

"Tonight, I still have very important enemies to deal with, so I don't have time to play with you for now."

In mid-air, the helicopter was still approaching, and the white cloth hanging on the clock was fluttering more and more unstable, as if it would fly into the air at any time.

The helicopter stops.

Kudo Shinhan leaned out of the helicopter cabin, and the first sentence he uttered aloud was: "Don't take off the white cloth!"

Under the white cloth, Nakamori Ginzo stared at Kuroba Kaito.

Kaito Kuroba did not hesitate to smile handsomely, "Well, although you have found a detective who can barely match me, but this time, I succeeded."

He turned his toes and tapped the clock, "I left a code in the center of the clock face, can the police unlock it?"

"It won't be unsolvable, will it?"

The tone was too light, and Nakamori Ginzo immediately burst into anger, "A secret code? Do you look down on the police? Of course we can solve it!"

To this question, Kuroba Kaito didn't answer, but only gave another laugh and a laugh that obviously pulled the value of hatred, "Ha."

He raised the card gun and pointed it at the place where the cloth and the clock were connected, "I'm going to deal with another very difficult enemy."

It is impossible to blindly escape the 'spider'.

The purpose of Kaito Kuroba to become Kaitou Kidd at the beginning is to be active as Kaitou Kidd to attract the enemies of Kuroba Pirates.

This time the second wave of 'Spider' subordinates came, just as he wanted.

From the card gun, another card with a black A on a white background was shot out, cutting off the top rope.

The white cloth on which the dial was painted became even more precarious.

Kudo Shinichi was a little anxious, "Hello!"

He rummaged through himself hastily, pulled out a grapple gun, and fired it at Shirobu just as Kaito shot a third card and cut a rope again.

A 'Boom! ’ sounded, and the grapple hook hit the top of the clock, and the white cloth at the same time.

The originally crumbling white cloth stabilized a little.

Mu Mu Shisan was dumbfounded, "Hook, grapple gun?!"

He reacted for a while, and immediately realized that Kudo Shinichi's purpose was to maintain the white cloth, so that the snipers who had not been dealt with in the distance could not find the target, "Nice job!"

"Fire a few more shots!"

"It can only be fired once," Kudo Shin handed a grappling gun to Mumu Shisan, "The props newly researched by Dr. Ali are not very stable, and it will be counterproductive to fire it a second time."

He fired a smaller machine gun again, "And, spotting gun."

Under the white cloth, Nakamori Ginzo could not see the scene outside, only heard the pistol gunshot from the grappling hook, he was dumbfounded, "Who? Who fired the gun? Stop!"

Kuroba Kaito: "Huh?"

He let go of the hand holding his chest, looked up at the white cloth that had stabilized, and the shadow of the grapple reflected on the white cloth, he didn't understand, and was greatly shocked.

"That's a grappling hook, isn't it?"

"...Why do detectives carry a grappling hook with them? Isn't this a prop of the phantom thief!"

Not only the see-through hanging is turned on, but also the prop hanging is turned on, right?

"Stop complaining, your heartbeat is speeding up," Bai Shui said faster, "It's speeding up extremely fast."

"You have little time to deal with 'Spider''s men."

If they keep talking, they will cut their numbers quickly before they can retreat.

...It won't really cut the number, right?

"Steady your heartbeat," Bai Shui said briefly, "3 minutes."

"Steady for 3 minutes, 3 minutes is enough for you to deal with snipers."

Regardless of whether it is possible or not, let's draw a big cake and tie a carrot to fish first.

Kuroba Kaito took a bite of the pancake, and responded with a faster heartbeat, "I will try my best."

He shook the card pistol and fired several shots without hesitation.

One after another, black A cards on a white background flew out, cutting the white cloth neatly.

In the wind from the helicopter, the white cloth fluttered and swept towards the propeller.

Hei Yu quickly grabbed it with cross-eyed eyes and hands.

And grasped by Baishui.

Bai Shui: "..."

……

It's restraint, not more excitement!

The night was pitch black, and in the swaying white cloth, Shirasui and Kudo Shin looked at each other.

He maintained the posture of Kuroba Kaito, standing in the center of the clock with a blank face, and Kudo Shinichi leaned out of the helicopter with half of his body, holding the top of the helicopter hatch with one hand, and holding a gun in the other .

The moment they looked at each other, they stopped.

The uniform of Kaitou Kidd is pure white, the white cloth is dark white, and Kudo Shinichi is dark blue, with clear boundaries between each other, like independent grids in the palette.

With clear boundaries, a jet-black shadow spread rapidly, passing from the blue to the dark white, and falling on the pure white.

It was a crow.

A crow familiar to everyone present: Kaitou Kidd's crow.

Every time the Kaitou Kidd takes action, the crow will hover around. I didn’t see it this time. Nakamori Ginzo and Megushi Shisan were surprised. Now that they see the crow, they suddenly feel like, “Is this right?” 'a feeling of.

The crow attacked Baishui, landed on his shoulder for a moment, stepped on Baishui's center of gravity a bit, then flew up immediately, passing Kudo Shinichi aggressively, and sprinted towards the crowd below.

It is pre-shaking its skills: at the beginning of the game, the bird will go to inspect his teammates, and after inspecting everyone and remembering the appearance of his teammates, he will return to the Prophet.

During the patrol period of the bird, the prophet cannot summon the bird to resist the attack, nor can it accumulate the anger point and save a few more opportunities to resist the attack.

Bai Shui: "..."

He lowered his eyes, stopped looking at each other, and threw the white cloth to Nakamori Ginzo, "Catch it."

"The helicopter's propeller caught the white cloth and it would crash."

"Below is the crowd."

Bai Bu left, and the real clock tower, where the hour hand still existed, was completely exposed to everyone's sight.

Kudo Shinichi's face changed slightly, "You...!"

Bai Shui turned around, he let go of the hand that hooked the hour hand, and leaned back.

At the original position of his head, the 'twelve' of the clock suddenly cracked, and the hour hand vibrated and buzzed.

Then there was the slow sound of sniper gunfire.

Bai Shui opened his hands in mid-air, and used his back to meet the wildly dancing wind.

The fierce wind danced wildly in the sky, shaking the white cloak of Kaito Kidd, shaking the brim of the top hat, and making the four-leaf clover eye pendant on the monocle rise upwards. Kudo Shinichi's voice was swallowed down to only a few words.

Gunshots rang out one after another.

As the white water fell, large bullet marks were left on the walls and windows of the seventh, sixth, and fifth floors.

Below, the crowd let out exclamations.

It happened too suddenly, and the clock tower was too high, they didn't realize what happened, they only reacted dully 'there was a gunshot', and: 'The Kaitou Kidd is falling! '

A bullet hit a window on the fourth floor, hitting the window sill that Kaito Kuroba had stepped on.

Bullets are reduced.

The snipers in one direction did not shoot again, probably because they were affected by the police officers who rushed past.

In the fierce wind, Bai Shui closed his eyes and counted down a second in his heart.

When he fell to the middle of the third floor and the second floor and met the screams of the crowd at close range, he suddenly turned over and displayed the hang glider, and then flew obliquely upwards.

Two bullets staggered and hit the second floor.

It was the sniper who predicted, but the prediction was wrong.

"Huh," Kaito Kuroba, who had been quiet all this time, breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you were going to commit suicide by jumping off a building just now."

When jumping off a building, normal people will have an instinctive reaction, not to mention reactions such as rapid heartbeat and difficulty breathing, but only instinctive resistance.

The strange thing about Bai Shui is that he has no instinctive resistance.

When he fell, he stretched his body, as if calmly waiting for the landing, rather than pinching the time to calculate when to rise.

"No," Bai Shui replied briefly, "I'm trying to figure out how to stay away from the helicopter."

He controls the hang glider, banked to the left.

A bullet grazed the hang glider.

There is only one.

Originally, there were three bullets, and the snipers in one direction were reduced when they landed. Now, the snipers in another direction are temporarily unable to snipe, leaving only the last sniper.

Baishui said: "The current target: the only sniper still alive."

He flew on a hang glider at a slightly lower altitude than the helicopter, as far away from the helicopter as possible.

The helicopter wobbled and chased after him, and Kudo Shinichi shot.

That's not a bullet, it's a locator.

Sniper bullets must be avoided, but the locator from Kudo Shinichi...

This is a duel between the Phantom Thief and the Detective.

Bai Shui asked the strange thief for his opinion, "Do you want to avoid it?"

Kuroba Kaito: "?"

"...What do you mean by 'do you want to avoid'? I still need to ask this question?"

"Could it be that in your world, you don't hide from his locator at all?!"

Kuroba Kaito didn't understand, and was greatly shocked,

The magic sound bombed.

Bai Shui extracted the answer from the magic sound: hide.

Just a few breaths passed in a flash, the locator was close at hand, he sideways avoided it, but he didn't avoid it completely, the locator hit his left shoulder.

Not far away, another bullet came, and Bai Shui took advantage of the force on his left shoulder to dodge.

He said curtly, "Sorry."

"My personal judgment is that when fighting Kudo Shinichi, there is a certain probability that you will deliberately carry a locator."

And play with Kudo Shinichi.

As for whether it can be played, it is another question worth pondering.

Bai Shui tried his best to be tactful, "It's something you can do."

Huskies.

Kuroba Kaito: "???"

Before the magic sound protested, Bai Shui interrupted the topic and said seriously: "The sniping stopped."

The police helicopter didn't chase for too long, he glanced at it, reached out and pulled off the locator fastened on his left shoulder, focusing on the current situation, "There must be 'spiders' in the crowd, but before they show up, We can't find it."

Kuroba Kaito focused, "'We'?"

"Wow, you actually said 'we', did I hear wrong? Did I hear wrong?"

"The snipers stopped shooting because there was an interference factor." Bai Shui ignored the interference factor, "The police found them."

It stands to reason that this should make the Phantom Thief a little worried: What should I do if the opponent I want to face confronts the police first?
However, considering the police's 'what?You actually remember the siren? ! 'Shown, Baishui judged euphemistically: There is about a 5% chance that the police will successfully arrest the three snipers.

The last sniper is the most ferocious, has the best marksmanship, has the lowest chance of being arrested, and has the highest chance of escaping.

Now, all Kaito has to do is catch the last sniper before he escapes.

Bai Shui: "I saw the police."

Not far away, there are figures of police officers on the upper floors of a building. They are holding guns, and they seem to be in a stalemate with snipers.

This stalemate is futile.

At the very edge of the building, outside the scope of the stalemate, a black figure was sticking tape on the glass, intending to break the glass silently and leave the scene. A half-person-high musical instrument box was placed on the leg of the figure.

Be a sniper and a sniper gun.

Kaito Kuroba whistled: "I found him, go say hello."

The sniper had just pasted the lower part of the tape, and before he had time to draw his knife to cut the glass, he felt a shadow suddenly fly over his head.

He raised his head subconsciously, and caught a touch of pure white in the night.

The white was familiar to the sniper. Three minutes ago, he was still the white figure he saw in the sniper scope.

he:"!"

Phantom Thief Kidd?Why did you arrive so quickly!
The moment the sniper caught Kaito Kidd's white uniform, the white water slammed into the tape glass.

The high-altitude tempered glass shattered into pieces, and then stuck tightly to the tape. The glass, tape, and white water hit the sniper together, hitting him hard against the wall, making him stunned with tinnitus.

Not far away, the police officers who were still stalemate in the void heard the movement, and hesitated, "W-what movement?!"

Bai Shui ignored it.

He removed the sniper's jaw. "Good evening, Mr. Sniper with eight empty shots."

Politely paraphrasing Kaito Kuroba's friendly greeting, "A guy asked me to paraphrase: Are you ready to ask 'Spider' for help?"
