Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 148 Mantis Catching Cicadas
At this moment, fireworks suddenly ignited around Osaka Castle, and the eyes of countless people gathered in the direction of Osaka Castle, curiously watching the sudden fireworks celebration.

"Hattori...brother, where is the direction where the fireworks are going?" Conan, who almost used the wrong address again, quickly changed his mind and asked.

"It should be Osaka Castle over there. Kidd must have set off the fireworks! He set off fireworks in Osaka Castle to attract the attention of the police, and he himself appeared in Tsutenkaku without anyone noticing it!" Hattori Heiji looked at the fireworks in mid-air, and immediately figured out the opponent's routine, "Damn it, it's too late to rush over now!"

Seeing that the two were anxious like headless chickens, Shi Ye reminded: "Instead of running after each other, it is better to concentrate on guarding his target and wait for work at ease is the best solution."

Conan, who was awakened by Ishino's words, immediately ran to Masato Nishino who was waiting at the entrance of the art museum and asked, "Mr. Nishino, where is that egg now?"

Seeing that it was Conan who came to ask, Masato Nishino had no doubts about him, and explained directly: "Officer Nakamori has already transferred the genuine product to another place, and he said that with such a cover-up, it will be safe."

"What?!" Hearing the news, Conan and Heiji suddenly felt bad, and found that the development of the matter was completely beyond his expectations.

While he was talking, all the surrounding lights suddenly went out in an instant, and soon the entire city was plunged into darkness, and the fireworks show also came to an abrupt end at that moment.

"It seems that Kidd has seen through all of Officer Nakamori's plans." Ishino walked behind the two of them and shook his head helplessly, "If we say that this large-scale blackout was Kidd's handiwork, I'm afraid Officer Nakamori's current reaction has fallen behind. Into the opponent's calculations..."

Before Ishino finished speaking, Conan figured out that the other party used the lights of the emergency power generation to determine the location of the genuine product. Except for hospitals, restaurants and other places where the emergency power supply must be activated immediately, the remaining place where the self-generated power generation is activated is target.

Thinking of this, Conan didn't care about Sanqi 21, stepped on the skateboard and rushed in the direction of Tsutenkaku, trying to track Kidd's flight path.

"Don't worry, I'll chase him!" Hattori Heiji, who was behind him, greeted Ishino hurriedly when he saw this, and immediately got on his motorcycle and chased after him.

Seeing that the two disappeared in a blink of an eye, Shi Ye laughed and cursed in his heart, "Two little reckless men", and then walked out of the gate of the art museum alone, and quickly disappeared into the dark night.

More than ten minutes later, when Hattori Heiji caught up with Conan and took him to the storage place of the Egg of Memory, the Kaitou Kidd had succeeded and flew away with the box in his arms.

After judging the wind direction, Hattori Heiji directly drove the motorcycle towards the direction where the opponent was gliding at full speed, but when he was about to reach Osaka Bay, he fell down because he was avoiding a truck at the intersection.

"Hatori, are you okay?!" Conan, who jumped out of the car directly behind Hattori at the critical moment, landed safely on a skateboard, and asked anxiously in front of the bruised opponent.

"Why are you dawdling here, hurry up and chase after him!" Hattori urged Conan regardless of his injury, "I can't spare you if you let him escape!"

Sensing the firm will of the other party, Conan nodded solemnly, then stepped on the skateboard and chased towards the beach without looking back.

At this time, Kaito has actually released a balloon doll to replace him in the middle of the journey and continued to slide towards the seaside holding the box, while he hid on the roof of a building and controlled the trajectory of the hang glider remotely through the remote control.

The reason why he was so cautious was because he suddenly received an urgent notice from Shi Ye 10 minutes ago, telling him to be careful of snipers on the seaside bridge.

Although he didn't know how the other party knew the news, but based on his awe of his brother-in-law, Kaito decisively chose the insurance plan instead of continuing to take risks. After all, he didn't want to take the egg of memory with him at all.

Just as the stand-in doll was flying over a bridge, Kaito keenly observed that the hang glider seemed to be hit by something and lost its balance. Fall into the sea and be destroyed.

On the other side, when Conan noticed that the height of the glider suddenly began to drop, he also noticed a strange figure on the side bridge aiming at the sky with something, but his target at the moment was only the Kaitou Kidd, so he had no time for him. Gu, went straight to the place where the opponent might make an emergency landing.

……

On the bridge, Pusi Qinglan, who was convinced that she had succeeded in one blow, sneered, and was about to put away her sniper pistol and go to the place where Kidd fell to snatch the egg of memory, when there was an abrupt sound behind her, who had just confirmed that there was no one there. Applause.

"Beautiful marksmanship, excellent reasoning ability, he was able to decipher the warning letter of Kaito Kidd before those excellent detectives and policemen. It's a pity not to be a detective. Are you right, Miss Pusi Qinglan , or do I want to call you - 'Shi Kaobing'?"

Hearing this sudden voice like a devil whispering, Pusi Qinglan broke out in a cold sweat, quickly turned around and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the direction of the sound, and focused on the shadow ahead.

In the next second, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared behind her, a slender arm stretched out from her neck without her noticing, just like this, the pistol she held in both hands was effortlessly Take it away with effort.

"How can girls wield knives and guns? It's too dangerous." Pusi Qinglan turned her head mechanically, only to see a long-nosed monster face directly against her already pale pretty face, making a teasing expression With a deep voice, "Especially a beautiful and intelligent woman like you is completely incompatible with this kind of rude weapon."

At this moment, Pusi Qinglan's mind was shocked instantly, her whole body felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, as if her throat was strangled by a pair of invisible hands, she couldn't say a word at all, she could only stand there blankly, watching the other party's coming His own pistol was dismantled into parts at a speed that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye, and he stuffed it into his pocket casually.

As a world-class thief and killer, Pusi Qinglan has always had absolute confidence in her own methods, especially her anti-tracking ability. She was able to snatch treasures many times and escape unscathed, all thanks to this talent .

But when facing the monster that suddenly appeared in front of her, she found that she hadn't noticed even a breath or movement from the beginning to the end. The other party seemed to be a ghost that appeared out of thin air, completely beyond her cognition.

Realizing that she is completely in the hands of the other party, she can only think of a famous Chinese proverb at the moment-the mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows.
