Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 10 Lesson [-]

"Strictly speaking, it is not accurate to say that we met for the first time."

Black Feather Pirate raised his hand and raised a finger, placed it between the eyes of the two, shook it, then bent forward and pointed at Ishino, "You are indeed seeing me for the first time."

Then he pointed his finger at himself, "But it's not the first time I've seen you. I've seen you in Paris three months ago."

The amount of information in this sentence is huge, and Ishino's brain immediately entered the memory mode.

I just arrived in Paris three months ago, so the other party should have been active in Paris before, not Paris with me.

And since I just arrived in Paris, there shouldn't be anything worthy of my attention... No, there is indeed one thing that will interest the people in front of me, and that is his work at the exhibition - Egg of Memory.

In the original plot, Kidd was interested in the egg of memory and once took it away.Then, as Kidd's father, he should also be interested in the sugar sculpture that I can imitate the egg of memory...

"It was at the exhibition, because my work...was wrong!" Ishino suddenly thought of something, interrupting the judgment he was about to say.

With Kuroba Pirates' ability, he should be able to easily analyze that with his identity and occupation, he could easily be invited by Suzuki's family at certain banquets or exhibitions to see the egg of memory up close.

So it is not a strange thing that I can imitate the sugar sculpture of the Egg of Memories, and it is not worth the distraction of the other party to observe him.However, there were no treasures on display at the exhibition that day, and no theft occurred during the exhibition.

So excluding these, considering the certain relationship between Black Feather Pirate One and Grandma Yoko, the remaining one may be the correct way of thinking, and then contacting Black Feather Pirate [-] years ago's act of suspended animation, Ishino I feel as if I have touched a door leading to the truth...

"Could it be... because of Xia Mei?!"

That's right, only this kind of possibility will make Black Feather Pirates pay attention to him at that point in time, and keep observing himself since then.

The other party didn't examine him at all, and directly accepted him as a disciple. With the style of Black Feather Pirates, even if Grandma Yangzi had a great influence on him, he would not let him do this.This shows that the other party has inspected himself before, and has reached the other party's apprenticeship standard.

Therefore, the reason why the other party inspected him was because he had contact with Natsumi, and the relationship became more and more intimate after that!There are only two possibilities for this behavior: either the other party is malicious towards Natsumi and wants to implement a certain plan against her; or the other party's purpose is to protect Natsumi, so it is necessary to closely observe the people who have frequent contact with her.

Based on Ishino's understanding of Kuroba Pirates, the other party is definitely not the kind of person who will be unfavorable to Natsumi, so his purpose is clear.And the other party disappeared after feigning death eight years ago, and Natsumi arrived in Europe seven years ago, so the speculation that Black Feather Pirate One came to Europe a year in advance to find out the layout can also be established.

Now there is only one last question of motivation, and Ishino can't get an accurate answer.And since the other party said what he said before, he deliberately guided himself to think, maybe he was testing his analytical ability.

So as a student, you can get most of the answers, and you can't solve some difficult problems, so it's not shameful to ask the teacher directly.

"I think the teacher must be secretly protecting Natsumi, and it started seven years ago." Ishino said his conclusion first, and then threw out doubts, "But I don't quite understand, why did you do this? "

"As far as I know, you seem to have been 'assassinated' in the incident eight years ago, but obviously, you just used this to hide and start investigating the enemy in the dark. Could it be the person who 'assassinated' you, Is it related to the person who assassinated the Kasaka family 22 years ago?"

Crack, crack, crack, Black Feather Pirates clapped his hands in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Bingo, you're right."

"I am very satisfied with your intelligence and reaction to analyze to this point in such a short period of time." Black Feather Pirates nodded in approval, "Although the reason for my actions is not yet fully judged, based on what you can currently grasp As far as the information is concerned, it is considered qualified.”

"The reason why I did this is because the old lady's husband is called Kuroba Ryuta."

"He is my father's elder brother. After marrying Mrs. Yoko, he joined the Kasaka family and changed his name to Kasaka Ryuta, so most people don't know the relationship between the Kasaka family and the Kuroba family."

"Uncle Ryuta died in an incident 22 years ago, and I started my activities as Phantom Thief Kidd 18 years ago, and pretended to steal Pandora as my goal. home; another purpose is to fish out all the enemies who covet Pandora."

"And the organization that assassinated me eight years ago was a fish that was caught out of the water, a fish that wanted to swallow Pandora. Under the water, there was a bigger fish waiting for the opportunity, that big fish Fish, probably in Europe."

"So that's how it is!" Ishino suddenly realized that everything was connected.

While getting the answer, Ishino also felt guilty for his omissions.He had many opportunities to learn more about Xia Mei's parents, grandfather, and other people around him. If he knew Xia Mei's grandfather's real name, then he could easily guess the truth.

Too much reliance on the knowledge of one's own traveler, thinking that everything is under his control, but precisely because of his arrogance and conceit, he neglected to collect information, and such negligence, in the face of possible dangers in the future, is fatal .

Thinking back to when I said I wanted to help Grandma Yangzi and got a reply asking him to study hard, I was still a little dissatisfied with being underestimated, and I felt a little shameless.

However, this was a blow to the head, and it did not dispel Ishino's fighting spirit, but aroused his desire to learn.

Looking at Ishino's eyes that were slumped at first, and then rekindled his fighting spirit, Heiyu Pirates was even more satisfied, so he continued.

"Maybe your previous life was too smooth, or you thought you knew a lot, which made you feel proud and blinded."

"However, it is normal for young people to be a little arrogant. Can you be called young if you are not arrogant? But to be arrogant, you must first have capital, which is a strong enough self and a humble attitude forever."

"A strong self can enable you to cope with unexpected crises and remain invincible; while a humble attitude will allow you to face up to your own shortcomings, value your enemies, and make yourself stronger."

"The opponent you will meet in the future is absolutely impossible to be a fool. It is a taboo for military strategists to take it lightly and despise the opponent."

"Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. If you want to fight against others, you must be fully prepared, grasp as much information as possible, and hold the initiative of the development of the situation in your own hands, in order to win the final victory."

"This is my first lesson for you."
