Conan: The Second Personality of Kaitou Kidd

Chapter 384 It’s Kaitou Kidd’s turn now

Bai Shui commented: "Sometimes, the police department is too sensitive."

Like now.

Kuroba Kaito: "..."

"Police department, please don't talk nonsense," he said seriously. "This is a good suspicion." Don't say it again next time.

"Any more?"

Nakamori Ginzo touched his chin, "Any more?"

He pondered over the memories, pondered for a while, shook his head in embarrassment, and hesitated, "I don't think so?"

"I'm not sure what abnormal situation you want to know. I'm not a magician."

"And it's so cold here, my attention...ah!"

"I remembered a little bit, but I'm not sure," Nakamori Ginzo slammed his hand on the palm of his other hand. "It was very cold that day, but I felt the heat."

"It's very cold. Because it's very cold, I'm a little more sensitive to heat."

Kuroba Kaito frowned, "Heart in the cold?"

"It's not an abnormal stripping phenomenon," Bai Shui added. "There is ice in the venue and it is very cold, but the police department's clothes are not single clothes, and they are not on the verge of freezing to death."

"So the hypothalamic thermoregulation center will not receive wrong information," Kuroba Kaito said implicitly, "and there will be no phantom fever."

The heat Nakamori Ginzo felt...

He immediately asked, "Where did you feel the heat? Near the exhibition cabinet?!"

"That's right." Nakamori Ginzo nodded. He stood upright in front of the exhibition cabinet and tried to reach out and gestured to his thighs a few times. "I seemed to be very close to the exhibition cabinet at the time. Here, I felt a little heat in my thighs. .”

He was a little confused, "But I didn't really feel the heat. In fact, my legs didn't feel warm, it just seemed to be warm. How should I put it, like..."

Nakamori Ginzo is neither too tall nor too short. When he stands straight, his thighs are flush with the base of the exhibition cabinet.

Kuroba Kaito stretched out his hand and touched the area less than one centimeter thick under the glass cover and above the blade mechanism.

He half-crouched, raised his eyes again, and slowly moved his gaze upwards. He could vaguely see the dark purple to black mat.

There is a very inconspicuous deep mark on the mat.

Because it was too cold indoors, the mat was in a frozen state, and deep marks remained.

"Yes..." Bai Shui said, "Water marks?"

It's a trace of water that didn't disappear completely, but was ushered in by the cold, so the traces were frozen.

The water mark was deep, but Kuroba Kaito's eyes gradually lit up, "It's a water mark!"

Without looking up, he interrupted Ginzo Nakamori, who was struggling and couldn't find the exact words to describe, "It seemed to come from the air!"

"Police department, is the heat you feel like being next to a heating object? You don't touch the heating object directly, but you feel the heated air?!"

Nakamori Ginzo: "Huh?"

After being interrupted, he reacted, thinking about his feelings at that time, and nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, that's how it feels. How do you know, Kaito? Is this some kind of magic trick?"

"But I was standing next to the exhibition cabinet and there was nothing around me. How could there be..."

"Why are you smiling so happily?"

Kuroba Kaito could hardly hide his bright smile of successfully solving the problem, and he had no intention of hiding it at all. He snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "Yes, there are only exhibition cabinets around you in the police department, but you can feel it." It’s so weird to feel so warm.”

"Hahahahaha." Nakamori Ginzo: "?"

"It's so strange, so strange," Kuroba Kaito was still smiling, "If I guess correctly, Police Department, the jackdaw in the middle of the night must be a beautiful gem with sharp edges, right?"

He stared at the dark mark that was level with his own eyes, and slowly stood up, "A beautiful crystal-clear gem like black ice!"

Why can gems disappear?
Even at the moment when nine o'clock came, countless black crow feathers flew down one after another, seriously blocking everyone's vision, but Nakamori Ginzo had been squatting on the glass cover. It stands to reason that no one could take away the gem without disturbing him. .

Moreover, not long after, the strange thief Crow appeared on the rooftop out of thin air, as if he really had the ability to retrieve objects from the air or teleport, and could easily stand on the rooftop and take away gems dozens of meters away.

Because she didn't need to get the gem at all.

There are ice cubes in the exhibition cabinet. When a specific mechanism is turned on, it will generate enough heat to melt the ice cubes and heat up the ice water. The thief can disappear without the need for the thief to show up.

The function of those crow feathers is not simply provocation and pretense, it is indeed to block the line of sight.

It was also to attract attention, which made the police officers present involuntarily raise their heads and pay attention to the black feather nervously, lest the Phantom Crow appear unknowingly and ignore the gem, not noticing that the gem itself was 'missing' the whole process.

"No wonder," Kuroba Kaito said cheerfully, "No wonder he insists on putting the gems on a soft cushion, or a purple to black cushion, in such a cold situation."

The purpose is to get rid of the black ice water as much as possible when the ice melts, so that the police will not find that there is a small pool of black water in the exhibition cabinet when the jackdaw is missing in the middle of the night.

The only flaw is that the heat mechanism is closed a little too quickly. The water in the ice cubes has not been completely dried out before the cold comes again, leaving some moisture on the mat.

"Really, so cunning." It was too easy to crack the trick, especially since the trick was designed by Kuroba Toichi and Kuroba Chikage. Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but laugh, "He actually pretended to be here. By persecuting me, you are actually hiding such a simple trick, it’s not even a trick at all.”

"It's just a bit of a trick."

"To other people, this kind of trick is already incredible magic," he put his hands on his hips. "It's a pity that when I meet such a smart person, I can see through it all at once. It's a pity."

The more he laughed, the more arrogant he became, and he made a villain's jeering sound, "Wow, ka, ka, ka, ka!"

It cannot be said that the smile is exactly the same as that of Chikage Kuroba. It can only be said that it is more proud and arrogant. By wearing a black hood, you can disguise yourself as the villain BOSS Necromancer in the Western fantasy world.

Bai Shui: "..."

"I respect your title of Officer Nakamori, 'Police Department,'" he said concisely. "The Police Department is looking at you like you're crazy."

Kuroba Kaito laughed wildly.

But very generous.

He generously poured all the villain's laughter into Baishui, without giving a drop to Nakamori Ginzo.

From Nakamori Ginzo's perspective, it was Kuroba Kaito who touched the exhibition cabinet up and down, squatted and stood up, and finally laughed silently with his hands on his hips as if he wanted to drink the cold air.

As he watched, Nakamori Ginzo stopped talking.

Kuroba Kaito immediately restrained himself and said in a low voice: "My mouth is a little hot, police department."

Regretfully, he shared his laughter with Bai Shui with one click, "Forget it, you go ahead and laugh."

Bai Shui: "..."

That's still unnecessary.

"The police department only knows that 'the gems stolen by Phantom Thief Crow are fakes,' but they don't know that 'the exhibition cabinet has a heat mechanism' and 'the fakes are made of ice dyed black,'" he said. "Now, Phantom Thief Crow is not here. One operation was seven days later.”

"In seven days, what tricks can we devise?"

There are many designs available, but you have to choose the most appropriate one appropriately.

As for why we need to devise a trick...

No, sir, when fighting a boss, you don’t just want to resist damage and don’t want to deal damage, right?
Now it's Kaitou Kid's turn!
