Conan: The Second Personality of Kaitou Kidd

Chapter 42 Did You Know It Already?
Rebellious high school students are arrogant.

For the first time, he spoke eloquently, "I believe in you, since you are full of praise for Kudo Shinichi, then I will definitely stand up for it!"

So turn around and go back.

The second time he spoke plausibly, "You must have noticed something, that's why you told me not to get close to that magician, I believe you!"

So he turned his head and followed all the way.

For the third time, he said plausibly, "You said repeatedly not to touch the box, I think it's right!"

So after the young magician pushed the box to the lounge, he got into the box directly while there was no one in the room.

... This is a rebellious high school student with blue eyes. It is reasonable to get into the box, it is reasonable to bite and scratch the box, and it is even reasonable to drag the box and run directly.

Now it's just drilling the box, that's where it goes.

Bai Shui calmly said, "OK."

The box of the Great Transformation Living Man was specially ordered, about the size of a coffin, and could easily accommodate an adult to lie in it.

It is made up of three boxes and divided into three subsections. The magician can randomly shuffle the order of the boxes during the magic, causing the audience's sense of horror that 'the box is moving, and the body parts in the box are also moving'.

Kaito Kuroba got into the middle box. The box wall is not made of wood, but cold and hard metal. From the middle to the bottom, it becomes colder and sharper. It is a metal plate. Also sharp knives.

A few seconds after closing the lid of the box, he moved his nose and sniffed in the darkness, "It seems to have a strange smell?"

Inside the dull box, there was a weird and unpleasant smell spreading. It was a faint stench and a strange fishy smell, which came from the metal sharp weapons on both sides of the box.

After sniffing it a few times, Kaito Kuroba felt that the smell was somewhat familiar.

Bai Shui is also familiar with this smell: "It's the smell of birds."

Birds have a 'bird smell'. When flying freely, the smell will not be so strong and obvious after being blown by the wind and diluted by the air. But when many birds are locked in a small box, it won't take long. , it will brew a weird smell that humans can't bear.

This box has stuffed many birds.

He added, "And the smell of blood."

The smell is the smell of blood.

It may be bird blood, human blood, or other animal blood. In short, this box has contained birds and been stained with blood, so it must be quite unclean and dirty.

Key points: birds, dirty.

Kaito Kuroba automatically sorted out the more important parts: This guy is a patient with advanced fear of birds, who can be overly frightened and cut his number directly when he touches a bird's beak.

He pushed open the box and jumped out, "Sorry, sorry!"

No wonder this guy keeps emphasizing 'don't get close to the box', it turns out there are birds and it's dirty.

"The first time you saw the box from a distance, you smelled the bird smell in the box, so did you say not to go near the box?" Kaito Kuroba murmured, "You also said that other people are 'huskies', so I went in The crate smells like birds, or some guy who smells birds when he sees the crate from a distance is the 'husky'."

He thought for a while, and added solemnly, "Well, you have your own thoughts and behavioral logic, so it really is you."

Bai Shui: "?"

Are you apologizing or are you being mean?

He ignored the clutter and reacted for a moment, realizing why Kaito Kuroba immediately jumped out of the box, "I'm not so afraid of birds that I'm even afraid of the boxes that contain them."

It is also accustomed to all kinds of blood and other things that normal humans would feel terrible, and has a special tolerance.

For example, between 'drinking from someone else's cup' and 'sitting on a blood-splattered sofa', Baishui will not hesitate to choose the latter, which is the same as 'drinking from a clean cup' Water' is pretty much the normal and acceptable stuff.

"Really?" Kaito Kuroba perfunctory, "Yes yes yes."

While shaking his body, trying to shake off the bird smell that follows him everywhere, he muttered, "Anyway, it's not me who was scared by the bird and cut the number instantly."

Bai Shui: "..."

Kaito Kuroba continued to shake his breath. After a few seconds, he stopped and sniffed his sleeves. He decided that it would be easier to change his clothes. "Are you really not afraid of boxes?"

"Then I checked the box?"

Bai Shui said concisely: "Check."

There was no obvious blood in the box, and there was no bird feathers or feces. It was clean, and there was a gap about a finger's width between the metal plate separating the box and the bottom of the box.

There was a streak of water there, and it looked like the case had just been briefly rinsed not too long ago.

Kaito Kuroba took out a handkerchief and wiped it around every corner and crevice of the box, successfully wiping out the reddish-brown traces.

He shifted his gaze to the metal wall thoughtfully, "There is really blood..."

"Then, the injured guy, how did he get injured?"

Is it a metal wall?
For the sake of safety, even in the scene of 'cutting open a box with a huge knife', real knives are not used in the magic of changing people.

Even if the magician doesn't actually lie in the box, waiting for the knife to drop.

Kaito Kuroba casually pulled out a carrot, handed the tip to the gap between the metal wall and the bottom of the box, and he pushed upwards.

The carrot slides upwards smoothly, with almost no sense of resistance, and the tip silently rolls down to the bottom of the box, and the tail of the carrot becomes a smooth section.

It's too silky, Kuroba Kaito: "..."

He held up half of the carrot and looked at it, then sniffed the fragrance of the cut, and whistled casually.

Huo, it's actually a real knife, and it's extra sharp. It seems that those magicians have a little courage.

...that's weird.

Kaito Kuroba suppressed the smile on his face, he covered the box, and leaned on the box, "Let me think about it and connect the clues."

When the magician communicated with his companions, he deliberately hesitated to express his concern about the failure of the magic trick. After being deprived of his right to be an assistant, he looked down and lowered his head but showed a smirk.

While talking with the high school girl, there was a clue that "the previous Great Transformation Magic was performed by a young magician and his brother".

The young magician showed a very terrified expression when he mentioned the clue that "my brother had an accident and couldn't perform magic tricks". Then, he tried to prevent the high school student from watching the magic trick, saying, "It might give me nightmares."

Plus, the real knife in the item box.

Kuroba Kaito let out a sigh of relief, "He's going to commit murder, isn't he?"

"The target is his teacher."

Moreover, it is still necessary to let the teacher die in magic in public.

The reason may be related to 'brother'.

Kuroba Kaito gathered clues and sorted out the strings very quickly, and Baishui responded, "Well, yes."

He tried to praise Kaito Kuroba, "Your reaction is quick."

After thinking about it again, he added this compliment, "Faster than Shinichi Kudo."

Cough, although the victory is not martial arts, but before Kudo Shinichi deduced the murderer, Kuroba Kaito deduced it. Rounding it up, it is really "faster than Kudo Shinichi".

"..." Hei Yu quickly lowered his eyes, "Thank you so much."

He patted the box, "Don't try to change the subject."

"When you first met them, you paid too much attention to him. At that time, your heartbeat was also increasing, which was strange."

"—Did you already know that a tragedy was about to happen?"
