Conan: The Second Personality of Kaitou Kidd

Chapter 382 Still a black diamond

Nakamori Ginzo was really sleeping, sleeping soundly and contentedly.

When I woke up, it was already past one in the afternoon, so even my reply was a bit vague and confused, "Want to take a closer look at the display cabinet? Okay!"

and rushed to the scene.

The air conditioner was turned on hugely, and thick layers of ice were spread throughout the venue. A wooden floor was laid from the entrance to the exhibition cabinet, about two steps wide, just enough for one person to pass.

Nakamori Ginzo hurriedly walked across the boardwalk without paying much attention, then casually stepped into the ice rink and said seriously: "This is the exhibition cabinet."

"There are police officers guarding it day and night. I can confirm that after the operation of Phantom Thief Crow is over, no one will come close to it again."

Kuroba Kaito stood firmly in Kisaka, refusing to take another step. He squatted in front of the exhibition cabinet, carefully observed and thought, and asked without raising his head: "Police department, do you have the remote control? ?”

"No," Nakamori Ginzo was a little embarrassed when he denied it, "I asked Mr. Harry for it when he left, but..."

But Kuroba Toichi put forward the hypothesis quite gently, 'I can't leave the remote control here. I'm very sorry, police department, but if the Kaitou Crow shows up and takes the remote control while I'm away, and breaks into the exhibition cabinet, then... Oh no'.

After finishing speaking, he asked intimately, 'Can you guarantee that such a thing will never happen, Police Department?If it can be guaranteed, I can stay. '

He also smiled, and added a sentence in a more gentle tone, 'Giving a chance to view the exhibition cabinet at close range is already giving a chance. '

This sentence was said to Kuroba Kaito. Nakamori Ginzo actually didn't understand it. He just thought that he left to give Kaito Crow a chance. He relayed it and touched his head even more embarrassedly, "That guy Crow is not Are you saying you want to attack Qingzi?"

"I don't think I can keep the remote control, so I don't want it."

What he knows: Once the Phantom Thief Crow holds Nakamori Aoko hostage and demands the remote control, he will not be able to keep the remote control at all.

Kuroba Kaito knew the implication, and he carefully observed the display cabinet.

When there is no remote control and it is closed, the exhibition cabinet is like a solid iron pillar. No matter how hard you press it, there is no response.

It was still a frozen iron pillar, and even opening the glass cover was extremely difficult.

The glass cover is empty, except for a dark purple to black soft fur cushion, which was originally used to hold gems. Now that the gems are gone, it is still there.

Looking at it, Kuroba Kaito discovered something, "Are there traces on the mat?"

In the center of the mat, where the gem should be placed, there is a faint round shape that is slightly darker than other places. It looks like the gem has been left there for too long, leaving a mark.

...But it's not a box full of dust. Just wipe it with your hands and it will leave distinct fingerprints. It has only been stored for a day. How can the soft fabric leave marks?
He subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to observe carefully.

The moment Kuroba Kaito stretched out his hand, Shirasui stopped him in advance, "Don't touch it with your hands."

"This is the 'crime scene,'" he said concisely. "When you came in, you crossed the cordon and put on shoe covers and gloves."

He reminded again, "Last time, Kaitou Kidd reached out and touched the gemstone pad."

The last time Kuroba Kaito touched the ice gem mat, his gloves froze directly to the mat, and he was happily tackled by Ginzo Nakamori, who was dancing in ecstasy, and almost drove away on the spot.

Looking back now, he said: "..."

Thank you, it's like hugging a live fish, sober right away.

"Police Department," Kuroba Kaito called Nakamori Ginzo instead, "There seems to be traces here."

"Look, is there a circular mark?"

Nakamori Ginzo looked down, widening his eyes seriously and frowning, trying to see every detail clearly.

At first, he stared stiffly. After a few seconds, he stared in surprise, "Huh?"

"I have never seen a jackdaw in the middle of the night with my own eyes," Kuroba Kaito said appropriately, "Do you think the size of this circular mark matches the size of the gem?" The dark mark is not very obvious, and the edges are a bit blurry. , which made the judgment even more difficult. Nakamori Ginzo observed it carefully for a moment, and then nodded solemnly, "Yes, it is exactly the size of the gem."

He was a little thoughtful, "Is it the mark left by the pressure of the gem on the cloth?"

"But the fabric is so soft and the gem is so light." Kuroba Kaito held the round table with one hand and stared at the mark. "How could it leave such a deep mark in just one day? It was so deep that the gem had been gone for nearly a day, but You can still see clearly.”

Nakamori Ginzo looked up, "Hey, did you know that the gem only stayed in the exhibition cabinet for less than a day?"

For the crows in the dark, the police strictly kept the defense measures confidential.

The main reason is that there is no information that can be leaked. The defensive measures related to the gem body were all arranged by Kuroba Thief, and even Nakamori Ginzo only learned about it that day.

Logically speaking, Kuroba Kaito shouldn't know.

But Ginzo Nakamori suddenly realized, "Oh, you must have read the newspaper."

He shook his head in displeasure, "I don't know who was communicating with colleagues after the event, but the people at the newspaper office actually heard some incredible details and published them directly in the newspaper."

Such as the overwhelming black feathers, such as the falling white snow.

Another example is the disappearance of gems.

"It's even more exaggerated, making that guy look like a god."

Nakamori Ginzo was very dissatisfied, "Isn't this too unscrupulous newspaper company?"

"Instead of publishing the news about Miss Kidd, I published the news about Phantom Thief Crow!"

He himself admitted, "Well, Miss Kidd and Mr. Kidd did not appear at the scene at all. There was only a white snow and black feathers. It looked like they had fought with the Phantom Thief Crow for a moment, and there was not much. Details that can be published.”

But he was still a little angry, "An unscrupulous tabloid that only knows how to make things up!"

Bai Shui: "..."

Mr. Police Department, while you are angry with the unscrupulous tabloids, do you feel a little cold on your body?

Miss Kidd is staring at you.jpg
"He only makes up things out of thin air. He is really unscrupulous, just like a bad guy without a heart," Kuroba Kaito asked faintly, "right, police department?"

Nakamori Ginzo nodded without hesitation, then shook his head, "'Bad guy' is not a curse word."

He stretched out his hand and pushed Kuroba Kaito, "Don't put your hands on it. This exhibition cabinet has a blade mechanism. Even if it is not turned on now, it is still dangerous. What if it is suddenly triggered?"

"It's a pity that the Phantom Thief Crow operation was not triggered that night. Could that guy really be able to retrieve objects from the air?!"

"Maybe," Kuroba Kaito thought about the solution to the problem and then asked, "Since the exhibition cabinet is no longer useful, can I take it apart and take a look?"

"It's useless?" Nakamori Ginsan was stunned, "How could it be useless? Kaitou Crow just sent out a notice letter, and it will still be useful next week."

Ok?
Kaito Kuroba turned his head in surprise, "You guys actually want to use the display cabinet again?"

They have already failed once. The jackdaw disappeared from the exhibition cabinet in the middle of the night, and the police actually planned to use it.

"Which gem is it this time?"

Nakamori Ginzo replied: "Jackdaw."

"This time, of course, it's still a jackdaw in the middle of the night."
