Conan: The Second Personality of Kaitou Kidd

Chapter 185 The Scream on the Radio (Two in One)

The starry district is the speculative fiction district.

Sections of dark brown bookshelves are neatly arranged. There are volumes of finely packaged books on the bookshelves. There is refreshing grapefruit-flavored soda in the air. Simple hand washing stations and hand sanitizer are installed beside the railings. box of disposable gloves.

The bookstore owner's point of view is shining: reasoning works are gods! ! !
As soon as he entered the starry area, Baishui was deeply shocked.

He repeated his cognition: This is the world of a reasoning work.

Still neon.

That's okay, it's normal to worship reasoning works and reasoning writers too much.

In addition to this overly obvious respect attitude, Baishui also discovered one thing: classic reasoning works have an undoubted king status.

There are two rows of Sherlock Holmes at the core of the starry area, some are thick books, and some are series books. Their packaging is different, but they are equally exquisite, and they are all black without exception. The cover is darker.

Sherlock Holmes is like a modest detective, with the brim of his hat lowered, and he stays leisurely on the bookshelf.

Kudo Shinichi's eyes lit up.

In addition to the humble detective, there is a series of royal highnesses, which are various works of Agatha.

There are too many classic works of hers, and her status in the world of mystery novels is too shining. In addition to various styles, her works are filled with three or four rows of bookshelves, and the luxurious skirt of the princess also spreads for three or four rows. bookshelf.

While looking at Agatha's works, Baishui received Belmode's repeated gazes, and he asked, "?"

"Hey, Shinichi likes Holmes very much, he matches him well," Belmode asked implicitly, "Do you like Agatha?"

He also felt that it was too explicit that this 'Her Royal Highness' might draw his sword to help, so he made amends, "I like "None Survived" very much, it is very interesting."

Bai Shui: "?"

Are you serious?

"I don't have any opinion on "And There Were None," he started a private chat with Kaito Kuroba, "but can you look at the occasion when you talk."

In this kind of occasion [inference works, the protagonist is present, and the atmosphere of the murder case is getting stronger and stronger], anyone's words may be "a casual word to solve my doubts".

If there is a murder that can correspond to "And There Were None", Belmode is at least 0.01% responsible.

Baishui reminded Kuroba Kaito, "Don't talk nonsense, are you right?"

Kaito Kuroba is the one who most needs to be reminded that 'what you say depends on the occasion', 'you can shut up if you can't speak', 'don't set up flags'.

Especially 'Don't set up flags'.

"I haven't said anything yet. You didn't want me to remind you yourself." Kuroba Kaito coughed a few times, "Don't be affected by Miss Witch's prophecy. It seems that there is no shadow of murder at all."

"There are only lucky ones in the bookstore. Everyone acts in groups of two. The only one acting alone is Kudo Yusaku. The probability of a homicide is very small."

He asked again solemnly, "Which one do you like, 'His Royal Highness'?"

This sentence, Kuroba Kaito omitted the comma, without a pause, and finished it in one breath.

Bai Shui walked past Agatha's bookshelf, and at the same time answered Belmode and Kuroba Kaito, "I'm interested in Murder on the Orient Express."

Before the two guys asked overlapping questions and tortured their ears, he answered in anticipation, "I think the role of detective in this work is very interesting."

He moved on.

Ahead are classic reasoning works, such as Chesterton and Poe.Further outside are the writers of Neon, such as Edogawa Ranpo and Ayatsuji Xingren.

Bai Shui stopped, and he looked back at the core area, only to find that Kudo Shinichi could only be seen from Holmes' bookshelf.

he:"."

As expected of a detective who said, "It's not a bad guy who likes Sherlock Holmes".

"Does he like Holmes very much?" Kaito Kuroba asked along the focus of his vision, and then corrected, "No, it's not the degree of liking, but 'worship'?"

This attitude is a bit familiar, not sure, let's take another look.

"You adore him, he adores Sherlock Holmes," he said quietly, and then discovered Huadian, "wait a minute, you became a writer, it's not because he likes mystery novels and adores Sherlock Holmes, right?!"

Bai Shui: "?"

Today's doubt: What is the logic of Kuroba Kaito's thinking?
"No," Bai Shui gave up explaining and pursuing the logic of thinking, and after simply denying it, he opened the bookstore's manual, "The former residence of the gods should be here. The attitude of the bookstore owner is very clear, but why is it 'former residence'?"

Aren't the reasoning works still in the starry area?
In the manual, Baishui found the answer: the bookstore has started a renovation plan, plans to decorate the fourth floor, and plans to move some popular and great works there.

"The manual says that the renovation plan will be held in a month," Kudo Shinichi's voice came from the Holmes area, "Miss Hoshino, your 'treasure' is here."

This is not a regular decryption activity. The sentence on the letter paper is not a puzzle, but a treasure hunting activity. The sentence on the letter paper is a location.

Now that the treasure hunters have arrived, where is the treasure?

Bai Shui checked the letter paper, and he walked back to the Sherlock Holmes area, and found that Kudo Shinichi had already started a rigorous treasure hunt process, wearing gloves, carefully Mosuo's "Sherlock Holmes" one after another.

Under the eyes of detailed inspection and worship, the calm 'detectives' seem to be more holy and shining.

Kaito Kuroba compared Kudo Shinichi and Baishui, "It's okay, okay, you didn't exaggerate when you mentioned Kudo Shinichi."

Bai Shui ignored the noises that were not worth paying attention to. His gaze swept across the bookshelves, and he turned a few times in front of Agatha's many books and Sherlock Holmes's bookshelves, locking on to the target. "Is the target of the first ring a box?"

A row of bookshelves can hold books on both sides. At the junction of Agatha and Holmes, there is a black box quietly stuck among the books.

The box was about half the size of a palm. Bai Shui took it off and found a surname printed on it: [Kudo].

On the other side of the bookshelf, Kudo Shin pulled out Sherlock Holmes and revealed his face among the many books, "Congratulations, you are the first lucky one to complete the first ring task, Ms. Hoshino."

He looked up, "Why hasn't the radio sounded yet?"

The broadcast sounded: "Crack, rustle..."

"The whole district reports, the whole district reports that the lucky ones who participated in the event have already found the 'treasure' of the first ring."

The voice of the radio is a young male voice, probably due to poor signal, and there is a slight electromagnetic sound when speaking.

After repeating the announcement several times, the radio said again: "Congratulations to the first lucky person who successfully passed the first level, the starry area is shining because of you."

After a pause, it sounded again, "Crack, rustle..."

"Report from the whole district, report from the whole district, the second lucky person who participated in the event has found the treasure in the first ring."

Kudo Shinichi found the nearby loudspeaker, he lowered his eyes, "Ahaha, it's Dad...it must be Mr. Shiratori."

It was such a coincidence to step on the spot, probably found it early tomorrow, but did not move the props or trigger the mechanism, so that the broadcasting room could not receive the reminder.

"I still know that when you are with lovers, you have to restrain yourself..."

Bai Shui pretended not to hear these disgusting murmurs, he opened the box and found that there was still a piece of letter paper inside.

There is a sentence on the letter paper: [That must be a bad place, otherwise how could it be 'once'? 】

This sentence also appeared on the letter paper at the beginning. The difference is that this time there is a fluorescent blue whale at the end of the sentence.

"The second letter," Bai Shui handed the letter paper to Kudo Shinichi, "is a whale."

Kudo Shinichi took a few glances, "At the end of the manual, I mentioned that some bookstore owners had a whimsy. At the beginning, he wanted to put some of his favorite works in the position of the whale."

But there was a strong rejection.

Whether it is a designer, a decoration worker, a sponsor, or a family member, they all dislike this too whimsical operation, and the boss can only reluctantly give up.

It was after seeing this message, and guessing based on the first ring envelopes of himself and the other team, that Kudo Shinichi guessed that someone's team must be in the starry area, and the mission was related to whales.

"I have some guesses about the location where the item fell, and I asked Mr. Tanaka to help me get it," Kudo Shinichi said again. He stood up straight, glanced left and right, bent down again, and appeared in the gap between the books on the bookshelf again , "Well, Ms. Hoshino, don't you really need to rest?"

'Mr. Tanaka' refers to office workers.

He gestured to Belmode, who was strolling among the bookshelves, with his eyes, and said tactfully: "You can go to rest first, we will cooperate with Mrs. Fujiwara."

Won't let her go to you.

For a guy who admires his own beauty too much, it's better to stay away...and strictly prohibit this guy from getting close to people who shouldn't be close! ! !

Bai Shui: "?"

Not far away, feeling the gaze, Belmode paced over, looked at Kudo Shinichi and Baishui who were whispering among the bookshelves, and judged: They really knew each other.

Judgment again: unexpected, reasonable.

Premise [-]: As the first generation Kaitou Kidd, Black Feather Pirates and Kudo Yusaku know each other, as Black Feather Pirates, Black Feather Pirates and Kudo Yukiko know each other.

Premise [-]: Kudo Shinichi is a detective, a pretty smart one.

Under these two conditions, it is quite normal for Kudo Shinichi and Kuroba Kaito to reach a temporary cooperative relationship to help solve the 'Kuroba Pirates' death mystery'.

Now that a cooperative relationship has been reached, it shows that Kaito Kuroba and Shinichi Kudo have a good relationship, and also points out a hidden premise: Baishui has a good impression of Shinichi Kudo.

This is good.

Belmode has a subtle feeling.

It was like taking two cats home after all the hard work, raising them carefully for a period of time, and then snatching another cat home. I was a little worried at first.

I am worried about the first cat who has a bad temper and will not be touched, and I am worried that he will give other cats a cold blow.Worrying about being too good-tempered, she has been lying under the belly of the first cat, quietly poking her head to observe the second cat in this world, worrying that he will be frightened.

I was also worried about the third cat, who was lively and unintentional, and would sprint bravely, and worried that he would be pressed and beaten by the first cat.

I was worried and worried, but found that I was worried for nothing. Although they were not interested in humans, the three cats had a good impression of each other and got along very happily.

Obviously, obviously it is a happy thing that is even better, why...

"Mrs. Fujiwara," Bai Shui greeted Belmode with a nod first, then looked at the somewhat strange Kudo Shinichi again, and politely refused, "No, no, I don't need to rest for the time being."

Go to the first floor to rest, what if you are surrounded?Can't even fly.It is more suitable to be on the third floor. If something goes wrong, just drive the hang glider and sprint away.

Now, something is really wrong.

"There is something wrong with Kudo Shinichi. After the incident of hitting the window just now, he has probably confirmed that there is Kaitou Kidd among the people present. Confirm that you are a woman." Bai Shui bit "you" and added, "There is something wrong with Belmode."

Be careful of the famous wine mixed with water, be careful of her colleague who drowned her colleagues in the flood for the sake of the angel, and the colleague in the state of amnesia.

"It's you who is dressing up as a woman now," Kaito Kuroba immediately retorted, and then lowered his voice, "You seem to be very sensitive to negative human emotions, especially killing intent, but not so sensitive to positive human emotions and friendly attitudes. "

"why?"

He thought, "Wouldn't it be 'more exposure to negative emotions, less exposure to positive emotions'?"

Impossible, as long as the face is completely exposed, no, even if only the chin is exposed, this guy will gain a lot of positive emotions, Kuroba Kaito is quite sure.

"Mr. Tanaka is back," Bai Shui ignored the question he had already asked and answered, and announced the news of the office worker's return. "There is no broadcast announcement."

The office worker came back beaming. He held a handbag in one hand and a blue box in the other. When he saw people from a distance, he happily raised his hands and danced. He looked like a thin black baby gorilla.

He hurried back, took a breath, and congratulated first, "I heard the radio, congratulations both of you!"

Reported again, "I found the prop, Mr. Kudo!"

There is still a piece of letter paper in the blue box, and three identical gear parts are placed on the letter paper.

Kudo Shinichi walked around the bookshelf and stood next to Baishui again, blocking Belmode.

He flipped through the manual a few times, looked up and looked around for a while, then picked up a part and stuffed it to Belmode, "Madam Fujiwara, please go to Area C to open the mechanism."

"The mechanism is probably at the sign on the bookshelf, and there will be a place for gears."

"Put all the gears on, and the mechanism here will start." Kudo Shinichi pointed to the place where he had been staying just now, and then pushed a part to the office worker, "Please wait here, Ms. Hoshino."

He assigned himself and the office workers, "I'll go to Area D, and Mr. Tanaka to Area B."

"It will take about 3 minutes to get everything in place, please excuse me!"

Time: 22:[-].

Bai Shui leaned against the railing, he stared at the quiet bookshelf, and heard the sound of the mechanism turning.

A row of bookshelves filled with Sherlock Holmes wobbled, and before the books wobbled and fell, the shelves carefully stopped shaking and ended the mechanism.

A radio sounded: "Crack, rustle..."

"Notification from the whole district, notification from the whole district, the first lucky person who participated in the event has found the second..."

Amidst the sound of the radio, there was the sound of a door opening, and the announcer paused for a moment, with a smile on his tone.

Baishui caught the sound of the door opening in the electromagnetic sound, and looked up at the horn.

The broadcast continued, "The first lucky person who participated in the event has found the treasure of the second ring... ah!"

The announcement of congratulations stopped abruptly, and the screams sounded.
