Conan: The Second Personality of Kaitou Kidd

Chapter 388 Where did it come from?
Kaitou Kidd... is here for you?
The Black Feather Thief stopped his smile and immediately strode forward to the glass display case, looking down.

Because Nakamori Ginzo was still kneeling directly above him wearing heavy clothes, he could only see the inside from the corners.

The interior was indeed empty, the black gems gone, dissolved in the absorbent cushions.

But the gem disappeared, but there was something more on the mat. It was a few lines that were almost integrated into the purple-black mat, and the words were very unclear.

It was exactly what Ginzo Nakamori had just said word for word.

It's a message from Kaitou Kidd.

The message was discovered by the police after the strange thief Crow stole the gems.

...No, in the eyes of the police, this was the battle between Kaito Kidd and Kaito Crow, and they won a great victory.

Kaitou Kidd was the first visitor. He stole the gems from the exhibition cabinet one step ahead of Kaitou Crow, and thoughtfully left behind a fake gem and mocking writing.

The second visitor, Phantom Thief Crow, came without knowing it and proudly took away the counterfeit left by Kidd.

This is a big victory for Kaito Kidd.

It was a well-deserved victory, because Kaitou Crow did not give up on taking the fake gems on the spot, and threw the gems with no appearance on those lines of taunting writing. The counterfeiting skills of Kaitou Kidd were nothing more than that.

This shows that he did not recognize that the gem was fake.

At least when I first got it, I couldn't tell.

Of course, this is the police's perspective, and Kuroba Toichi's perspective is clearer. After seeing these lines of handwriting left by Kaitou Kidd, he realized that Kaitou Crow was indeed defeated.

And it was a fiasco.

"You have actually solved the mystery of the missing gems, and you can counterattack an army so quickly and accurately," the black feather thief closed his hands and squinted his eyes in the excitement of fighting. He immediately realized that the other party was His son let go of his hand and said, "It's really outstanding. It's beyond my expectation."

"It's really..."

He bit down on the word lingering in his mouth and said it relaxedly, "You hate me enough."

Because Nakamori Aoko is implicated.

If he didn't reject this kind of behavior very much, when Kaito Kidd faced Kaitou Crow, he wouldn't have just had the attitude of "Kidd is fighting Kaitou Crow" without a trace of Kuroba Kaito and Shirasui's personal feelings towards them. .

The voice was too low, and Nakamori Ginzo, who was in a state of shock and confusion, didn't hear it. His mind was almost blank, and he read the last signature repeatedly: "Presented by Kaitou Kidd."

"..."

"what???"

Nakamori Ginzo looked like he was about to collapse and almost fell off the glass display case. He struggled to grab Kuroba Toichi and confirmed in a daze: "Today, tonight both Phantom Thieves are here?!"

"Yes," Black Feather Thief nodded calmly, "Both Phantom Thieves and three Phantom Thieves are here."

"Well, then the police didn't find anything?" Nakamori Ginzo looked even more devastated, "No trace at all?"

"It wasn't until after nine o'clock when the Phantom Thieves retreated in style that the traces they left behind were discovered?"

"……what?!"

There's more to it than meets the eye.

Nakamori Ginzo is really about to collapse.

Even if they faced off against Kaitou Kidd in the past and lost again and again, which was very frustrating for the police, the police could still find traces of Kaitou Kidd, and they could barely figure out Kaitou Kidd's actions afterwards. , instead of like this time.The three phantom thieves showed up, but the police were like clumsy geese, just shaking their bodies and quacking, but found nothing.

what does this mean?
This means that the Phantom Thieves and the police are not at the same level at all. One is a full-level boss, and the other is a novice who has just entered the game.

The boss can easily steal everything, but novices can't find any clues no matter how hard they solve the case, because the clues are no longer at the novice level.

Nothing made Nakamori Ginzo more devastated than this. He was so devastated that he even wanted to resign on the spot.

"Police department," Kuroba Thief said calmly, reaching out to help Nakamori Ginzo down, "don't be too anxious."

"You saw Kaitou Kidd's message, and have you made any guesses about the order of the Kaito Thieves' visits?"

"What Kaitou Crow stole was a counterfeit left behind by Kaitou Kidd."

"And what Kaito Kidd stole... was also a fake."

He took out a black gem from his pocket and said with a smile: "The mystery of the first gem's disappearance has not been solved yet. How can I safely put the real thing in the cabinet?"

"Even in the first exhibition, which seemed to be flawless, I was worried about putting the real thing in the cabinet, and the Phantom Thief Crow happened to steal the fake. I was even more worried about the second exhibition."

Nakamori Ginzo was not comforted at all.
"I know that Kaitou Kidd said that the gems he stole were gems and he would come back to get the real ones in seven days," he said in a daze, "but...but how did they take the gems?"

"If you don't crack this point, don't tell it twice. Even if you try it countless times, there will only be one result: the gem will disappear."

Indeed, without explanation, the police do not have the slightest sense of security.

The Black Feather Thief paused and then said: "The cooling device has been shut down for a while, and the ice may crack. Let's evacuate first, police department."

"Yes, yes, there is a cooling device," Nakamori Ginzo immediately remembered more things that needed to be explained, "and a blower!"

"Who turned off the cooling unit? Who turned on the blower?!"

The cooling device was turned off by Kuroba Toichi, but the sudden turning on of the blower prepared for Kaito Kid was not his work.

He could also roughly deduce what happened: the switch of the blower was not in the hands of just one person. It was originally turned on by Nakamori Ginzo and other police officers followed the order.

It suddenly turned on at nine o'clock. Kaito Kidd must have touched part of the remote control.

And with Kaitou Kidd's disguise skills...

It's easy to trick someone into getting the remote control before entering the rink.

Black Feather Pirates said this truthfully and without hesitation, he said, "I'm afraid, the same is true for the cooling device."

He sighed, "It's inevitable."

What is unavoidable about blowers is that “a small number of blowers cannot accurately control the glider, and a large number of blowers must be remotely controlled separately and cannot be turned on and off uniformly. Otherwise, if you stand in the middle, the wind force of the blowers surrounding the circle will cancel each other out.” "

What cannot be avoided with the cooling device is that "if you leave people to guard it, the phantom thief can disguise himself and go into a place where there is no one around. If you don't leave people around, the thief can go into a place where there is no one."

No matter what you do, you will fall into the hands of the Phantom Thieves.

However, "After the first operation, all the ventilation ducts in the venue have been sealed. I can confirm, and you can confirm, that except for the cooling device, there is no gap in the venue."

"Where did the feathers come from this time?"
