Conan: The Second Personality of Kaitou Kidd

Chapter 263
Judy Hooper: "…"

She looked at the bank staff who filed in, and then slowly turned her head to look at Ginzo Nakamori, her expression began to change like a palette, red, green, purple, purple, and black.

"You, the police department, you..."

Even the words seemed to have been tumbled fifty or sixty times in the washing machine together with the palette, and they were infected with all kinds of hesitation before they could be squeezed out.

"Are you serious?"

Hire a bank clerk?
And looking at the clothes, some of them are not even professionals who specialize in research and development or are responsible for protecting safes, but tellers who don't usually touch safes!

Teller!

Judy stared straight at a young woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a red suit skirt, staring straight at the words on the breastplate of the suit:

【Receptionist: Masami Hirota】

Her eyes were black.

"Hey, what are you doing?!"

This sentence was squeezed out by Judy's teeth abruptly, the meaning of gnashing of teeth was very obvious, it sounded like she wanted to kill Ginzo Nakamori directly and herself who actually agreed to cooperate with Ginzo Nakamori.

"Did that white horse detective seriously advise you?!"

Nakamori Ginzo heard the tone of intent to kill.

He consciously explained in a low voice: "But, maybe it is."

"Miss Judy, please don't jump to conclusions. Do you know why I am sure that Kaito Kidd will come to steal the Crimson Tears?"

Judy Hopper stared at him, "Why?"

Nakamori Ginzo did not answer for the time being, and asked again: "Most of these professional bank staff have one thing in common, I wonder if you have discovered it?"

Judy Hooper turned her head and stared at the bank staff quietly.

She didn't find the common point, but she found that many bank staff were a little guilty, and they seemed to understand how outrageous it was that the police called bank staff to help guard the gems.

Most of the guilty ones are young people, and the older ones have acquired a mask of warm smiles that keep their emotions under wraps.

On the contrary, there are a few younger people who are also calm, and that is exactly the case with the Masami Hirota that Judy just noticed.

Hirota Masami has long ink-like hair, which is loosely tied up, and the gold-rimmed glasses are a bit lively, but she is a bit too quiet, and when she smiles quietly, her long eyelashes are slightly drooping, bringing a little melancholy , just neutralized the liveliness of the glasses.

She was not feeling guilty and embarrassed, but was smiling and observing the police, Judy and other colleagues in the lounge, like a whistle before a pack of wolves dispatched, quietly observing the prey.

This is a gentle beauty who is so quiet that she is a little melancholy, yet gentle all the time, melting sharpness into her brows and eyes silently.

She is a Showa Bijin who is harmless at first sight.

Judy frowned.

She suppressed the anger of being laughed at, and adjusted her sitting posture. She no longer sat on the side legs of a lady in a soft and elegant way, but leaned her back on the back of the sofa, raised her left leg and pressed her right leg, "What do you have in common?"

This action is very interesting.

Ginzo Nakamori's police instincts chirped: this Miss Judy wasn't extraordinarily casual anymore.

He noticed a subtle signal, but he didn't quite know the source of the signal. He looked at Judy seriously with some confusion, and then replied in a low voice: "Young!"

"Didn't you notice that one-third of these bank employees are young women?"

"Young women in their early 20s are the age when they are youthful and beautiful, and they appreciate beauty."

"Crimson Tears," Nakamori Ginzo suppressed his voice so that it was almost inaudible, "It's different from the pink gem last time. It's not just a gem, it's an exquisite accessory."

"Even if it's me, seeing the shiny golden trim and blue gems, I can't hold back my eyes, let alone Kaitou Kidd?"

"Phantom Thief Kidd, but a very young girl!"

He swore, "Don't estimate Kaito Kidd's age just because she has been famous for so long. I know her very well, but I have already checked it out."

"She's a witch!"

"Demon! Female!"

"According to my close investigation, as early as a long, long time ago, she appeared dressed as a strange thief, plundering exquisite gems like a picky young lady, not even appearing under the name of [Phantom Thief Kidd], but ..."

"Strange! Thief! Lady! Female!"

Judy Hooper: "?"

Ginzo Nakamori was extraordinarily solemn, and said word by word: "Yes, you heard me right, that is the [Phantom Thief lady] who resounded throughout the world 20 years ago and was known as 'the twenty-faced woman of the Showa era'." !"

Judy Hooper: "??"

She has a lot of question marks today, "Phantom Thief Lady and Phantom Thief Kidd have only one thing in common, right?"

"One of them is a man, the other is a woman, one is wearing a white suit and top hat and glasses, and the other has a white bandage wrapped around the upper half of his face, only showing the beautiful lower half of his face."

"Oh, there's one more thing they have in common: they all return the gems."

Judy thought for a while, then added, "They all fascinate countless people."

When Lady Phantom Thief was still active more than 20 years ago, Lady Phantom Thief became the dream lover of countless people with only half a face and lips that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

In the bedtime stories when she was a child, Judy had heard about the lady, and for a long time she had longed for the lady, and wanted to become a magician who was also admired by countless people.

But not anymore.

Judy doesn't like magic tricks that cause people to die.

She said lightly: "Apart from this, is there anything else in common?"

"You don't know?" Nakamori Ginzo repeatedly confirmed, gradually grinning from ear to ear, "You really don't know?"

"I checked for a few days and nights, and found a crucial clue: Lady Phantom Thief was active more than 20 years ago, and she rarely appeared after that."

"To be more precise, the last time she was seen was 18 years ago, and two years after she disappeared, the invitation letter was sent out again."

"That was in Paris."

"But guess what the media caught on that night?"

Judy frowned.

Nakamori Ginzo seemed to announce the winner of the million-dollar prize. He couldn't restrain his excitement, and once again accentuated each word: "Kaitou Kidd!"

"That was the last time that Lady Phantom Thief appeared, and it was also the first time Phantom Thief Kidd appeared. Don't you think it's a bit strange that these two phantom thieves had an obvious alternating moment?"

"Before I learned that Phantom Thief Kidd was a woman, I had never paid attention to the alternation between Kidd and the lady. The lady witch is really cunning and capricious, she deserves to be a witch!"

Cunning, cunning and willful?
Judy: "???"

She looked at Ginzo Nakamori's concentrated and impassioned state, but she was not sure, so she looked again and again.

Ginzo Nakamori didn't pay much attention, and explained why he called Phantom Thief Kidd a witch: "20 years ago, she was active as a phantom thief lady. She is at least 40 or [-] years old, right? Like a girl."

The one who can maintain youth forever is of course a witch.

"How can a young and beautiful woman not love beauty?" He vowed, "She stole the gems easily, and returned the gems lightly, as if teasing, maybe because the bare gems are too ugly gone."

To tease, to tease?
Judy looked up and down Nakamori Ginzo calmly, and found that he was extraordinarily well-dressed.

Ginzo Nakamori spoke loudly, and solemnly stated the reason why he thought Kaitou Kidd would definitely come to steal.

"Crimson Tears is very beautiful, it is an indispensable exquisite necklace on the witch's fair neck!"
