Conan: The Second Personality of Kaitou Kidd

Chapter 85 [Angel's Crown] Missing

Countdown to zero: five 10 minutes.

The helicopter leaned close to the roof, and the rotors spun rapidly, making a loud noise.

Kudo Shinichi glanced down and saw the black crowd below, he picked up the walkie-talkie, "Moses, is there any special situation?"

While speaking, he scanned the surrounding night sky, looking for crows in the night.

There was an electromagnetic sound from the intercom, and a few seconds later, amidst the buzzing of the helicopter, a police officer replied, his tone was a bit vigilant and hesitant, "There are special circumstances, Mr. Detective."

"A few minutes ago, we found the trail of the crow!"

"However, it is different from the previous three times. It is not hovering in the sky, but..." the tone of the police officer was even more hesitant, "Sprinting?"

what?
Kudo Shinichi repeated: "Sprint?"

"Yes, it sprints from the sky to the ground, just like an eagle sprints to hunt when it finds its prey," the police officer said. "It sprinted about three or four times, and its target was an alley. After the fourth sprint, it was Didn't fly anymore."

"The people who went to search did not find any special traces."

Because of Neon's touching single-digit surveillance coverage, the police officers ignored the issue of 'surveillance cameras' very directly, and did not say a word at all, 'Unfortunately, there is no surveillance to capture the interior and entrance of the alley'.

Kudo Shinichi also didn't ask about 'monitoring', because of Kaitou Kidd's methods, and it's not surprising that he didn't find any special traces? ’, his thoughts turned rapidly, and after more than ten seconds, he pressed the speak button again, "Did anyone take a video or photo?"

He continued to frown and think.

Soon, the police replied, "The crow moved so fast that the observers didn't have time to take pictures of the documents."

The walkie-talkie rang again, "Those sprints were really weird, didn't they...was Kaitou Kidd also in the alley at that time?"

Play with pets?Do training?

The police officer speculated: "I also saw the crow sprinting. I don't know why, but it seems to be deliberately intimidating. Maybe Kaitou Kidd is accompanying the crow to intimidate the prey?"

"Maybe," Kudo Shinichi was noncommittal, he straightened his mind, "Please be more vigilant next time, since the crow has appeared, Kaitou Kidd must be nearby."

What is that crow's 'sprint' doing?

Kudo Shinichi said again: "Please point me to the location of the alley."

Countdown to zero: three 10 minutes.

Shinichi Kudo turned on the walkie-talkie, "Moses Moses, with the museum as the center, began to radiate to confirm the authenticity of the identity of the police in each street, in case the Kaitou Kidd got mixed in."

He adjusted the channel again and contacted Officer Zhongsen, "Officer Zhongsen, there is still half an hour before zero, is there anything unusual in the museum center?"

"Remember to confirm your identity."

After speaking, he put down the walkie-talkie and tapped the seat with his fingers.

Ginzo Nakamori is very strange.

He lied on both sides, while telling Kudo Shinichi that he would ask Souichi for help, and tactfully refused the detective's assistance, while telling Police Officer Megure that Detective Kudo would help, and there was no need to go to Souichi.

You don't want Kudo Shinichi to come out, and you don't want Souichi to get involved. Why?

The last time I had close contact with the Kaitou Kidd, I felt that I alone led Sou Er to capture the Kaitou Kidd, so I don't need to share the credit with others?
It doesn't quite fit Ginzo Nakamori's character.

It can't be because he is afraid of catching Kaitou Kidd, right?
Kudo Shinichi pondered, waiting for Nakamori Ginzo's reply.

After about three or four minutes, Ginzo Nakamori's voice came from the walkie-talkie, "Nothing unusual."

"The identity is confirmed, and there is no Kaitou Kidd mixed in."

Not just the attitude, the behavior, but also the tone of voice.

When communicating with Nakamori Ginzo before, Kudo Shinichi confirmed that this police department is similar to Police Officer Megure, and his temper and personality tend to be easy to get along with, and his attitude is very friendly.

Of course, the premise of a friendly attitude is: not Kaitou Kidd, not a criminal.

This is the first time Ginzo Nakamori has spoken in such a blunt manner.

"Nakamori police department," Kudo Shinichi pressed the button, and suddenly said, "I know you are very angry at the police department, and think that Kaitou Kidd is provoking you by throwing the crown to Nakamori-san."

"but……"

He persuaded: "'After catching the strange thief Kidd, secretly use means to make him suffer. Anyway, no one wants to look at the captured thief', so don't say it again.'

After finishing speaking, Kudo Shinichi let go of the button, and let these few paragraphs pass.

"Huh?" Nakamori Ginzo replied almost immediately, "What are you talking about? When did I say that Kaito Kidd would be lynched?!"

"Phantom Thief Kidd..." He paused for a few seconds, and turned to the follow-up quite bluntly, "Wait, what you said just now is very strange, isn't it to test whether I have been replaced by Phantom Thief Kidd?"

It's real Ginzo Nakamori.

Fortunately, although it is very strange, it has not been replaced by Kaitou Kidd.

Kudo Shinichi replied: "Just to confirm."

He turned his head to look outside the helicopter, estimating the time and the gorgeous and flamboyant appearance of Kaitou Kidd.

Countdown to zero: 5 minutes.

Kudo Shinichi waited quietly. He repeatedly checked the time, and asked the police officers in the sky, the ground, and the museum in turn, "Is there anything unusual?"

The responses of the police officers were surprisingly consistent, "Everything is normal, there is no abnormality, and no strange thieves have mixed in."

...Strange, it's only been 5 minutes, why hasn't Phantom Thief Kidd any sign of action yet?

"Nakamori Police Department," Kudo Shinichi found Nakamori Ginzo's channel, his tone became serious, "Be careful, Kaitou Kidd is probably near [Angel's Crown]."

While making a gesture to the pilot and Officer Mumu who was also ordering his subordinates, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the helicopter, jumping directly from the air to the roof.

Police officer Mumu, who was on the phone, looked over subconsciously, and was pulled back by the seat belt. He shouted anxiously, "Xinyi!"

"I'll go to Police Officer Nakamori first, goodbye!" Kudo Shin waved his hand without looking back, rushed from the green passage on the roof to the inside of the museum, and contacted Nakamori Ginzo again, who didn't respond, "Hey, did you hear me Did you just say something, Officer Nakamori?"

"Is there anything unusual?"

He hurriedly flew down the stairs.

After dozens of seconds, the walkie-talkie turned on, and Ginzo Nakamori's panicked voice came over, "There is something abnormal!"

"Tourists, tourists rushed into the fourth floor of No.40!"

The background sound of this sentence is the noisy and chaotic voice of the crowd, as if everyone is talking, and every sentence overlaps and circles together.

It sounded like at least twenty or thirty people.

Kudo Shinichi could barely make out a few words that appeared frequently, "Kidd! Where is Kidd?!"

"Didn't you say Kaito Kidd is on the fourth floor of No.40? Why not?!"

His footsteps paused, and his face changed slightly.

At this moment, a hoarse cry of a crow suddenly sounded, full of penetrating power like the cry of an eagle, directly breaking through the sky forcefully.

The noise of the crowd faintly coming from below disappeared for a moment, converging into sharper screams.

"Send them away!" The intercom lit up again, and Nakamori Ginzo's voice sounded with anger and panic, "Wait, the crow's cry?"

"Kidd? Where is Kidd?!"

"...[The Angel's Crown] is gone!"
