Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 15 Phantom Thief Kidd
In the evening, at the Tokyo City Museum, a large group of policemen had already been waiting in full force, keeping a close watch on the entrance and exit of the exhibition hall where Tsukihito was located.

Nakamori Ginzo, who is in charge of protecting Tsukihito and is determined to arrest Kaito Kidd, is at the monitoring center on the 50th floor on the upper floor of the exhibition hall. Staring at the monitoring screen for a moment.

Just yesterday evening when Qingzi went to the Metropolitan Police Department to deliver a change of clothes to his father, the TV news suddenly broadcast a notice letter from Kaitou Kidd.

Seeing Nakamori Ginzo's excited expression, while Qingzi was happy for his old father, he was also a little worried about whether his father would be hit if the operation failed.

In the afternoon of the next day, Qingzi thought of his old father who was a little suspicious in the morning, and was a little worried about his mental state, so he called Nakamori Yinzo to ask if he was eating well and not to damage his body because of work.

After getting an answer from the other party who was vague at first, and finally could only confess that he didn't have lunch because he was too busy, Aoko Nakamori was furious, and lectured his father very severely on the phone.

Then he forcefully proposed to bring the bento to the old man himself, and stared at him to eat it.Nakamori Ginzo, the daughter slave, could not hold back the other party, so he had to reluctantly agree.

In fact, he didn't eat because he was busy. It was entirely because he was worried that Kidd might pretend to be a meal delivery person at any time and put sleeping pills or something in his lunch box, so he planned to stay up until night like this, without giving him anything. Take the opportunity.

Hearing that his daughter wanted to deliver the bento in person, he changed his mind, so that he could have dinner and recharge his energy without worrying about being tricked by Kidd. He could kill two birds with one stone, so he agreed to the other party's request.

Anyway, Qingzi often goes to and from his workplace, and he is very familiar with his colleagues, so it is not too much to ask for him to deliver meals.

So in the evening, Nakamori Ginzo successfully ate the hot bento, felt that his state was immediately full, and confidently waited for Kaitou Kidd to throw himself into the trap.

And Aoko Nakamori also stared at her father after finishing the meal, and left with a lunch box in satisfaction.

……

"6 seconds, 5 seconds, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0."

With the end of the countdown in Nakamori's mouth, the lighting power supply of the exhibition hall was suddenly cut off, and the whole was plunged into darkness.

"Don't panic, turn on the backup power!" Nakamori Ginzo quickly issued an instruction to the walkie-talkie.

And at the moment when the lighting was restored, a clear sound of glass shattering resounded throughout the exhibition hall, and a security guard suddenly appeared in front of the shattered booth, holding the gemstone named "Pupil of the Moon" in his hand .

"You, what are you doing?!"

Amidst the suspicious questioning of the surrounding police, the man holding the jewel suddenly took off his uniform, revealing the white dress hidden inside and a masked face.

"Strange, the thief Kidd!"

Before the police could react, Kaitou Kidd threw a smoke bomb and fled quickly outside the passage.

After discovering that the Kaitou Kidd had escaped, Nakamori Ginzo immediately directed the police to hunt down Kidd, and Kidd quickly ran from the stairs to the upper floor. Down, run in the opposite direction.

Finally, under the horrified gaze of everyone, Kidd smashed the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows, jumped out from the height of the 50th floor, and fled the building.

Nakamori Ginzo was the first to react in shock, and calmly began to direct the ground personnel to pursue Kidd.

"Kidd, you can't escape today!" As the instructions came out of his mouth, Nakamori Ginzo was full of confidence.

Today, he ate his daughter's love bento and met the opponent's challenge in a perfect state, so his thinking is much faster than usual.

Seeing the police cars constantly surrounding Kidd in the monitoring screen, Ginzo Nakamori couldn't help showing a smug smile...

……

At the same time, on the roof of the building, Kidd, the phantom thief who had just escaped from the pursuit by blindfolding, saw the person in the exact same costume as himself, his pupils trembling.

"It's an ancient technique to let the double dummy fall, and escape upwards. The name of the phantom thief will cry."

Hearing the person on the other side sarcastically stated his tricks, Kidd reacted quickly after being briefly surprised.

"In that case, can you see through this magic trick?" Kidd threw the cloak covering his body behind him, and his whole body disappeared in an instant, only his head and hands were floating in the air.

"What's the matter, are you so scared that you can't move?" Seeing the other party's hesitation for a moment, Kidd immediately launched an offensive and flew towards the other party.

"Hahaha, this kind of trick to deceive children is so ridiculous!" I saw Kidd on the opposite side not panicking, laughing and facing the surprise attack.

The instant the two passed by, Kidd, who had stood still before, had his head flying high.As for Kidd, who was flying invisibly, there was an inaudible crisp cracking sound from his body.

The next moment, the mirror coat on his body was scattered and shattered, and the mask on his face was also split into two, revealing an old face underneath.

Behind him, Kidd, who showed a handsome young face, was standing on the ground with one hand, standing upside down and raising the poker pistol in his hand, aiming at the old man pretending to be Kidd in front of him.

And after that, Kaito Kuroba, who played Kaito Kidd for the first time and won the first confrontation, did not meet the opponent's stubborn resistance.

……

Just when Terai Konosuke revealed his identity to Kaito and began to explain that the reason why he pretended to be Kidd was to elicit the murderer behind the murder of Kuroba Touichi, in the park not far from the building, Ishino was passing him in advance. The camera installed on the roof watched the live performance of the two.

Although Ishino has read the complete works of Conan, his understanding of Kaito Kidd is limited to his appearance in Conan, and he has not watched the Magic Kaito series.

The reason why he set up a camera on the roof is because he investigated the situation of the building in advance last night, and based on his understanding of Kidd's action patterns and the knowledge of magic he learned from his teacher, he judged how big the opponent was. The probability will choose to escape from the roof.

But I never thought that I would see such a miraculous scene on my mobile phone in the end.So by watching the live broadcast this time, he happened to understand the process of Kaito and Terai's first meeting, and at the same time knew that this was Kaito's first appearance as Kaitou Kid.

"No wonder Mr. Pirate One said that he was Kaito Kidd himself when they met for the first time. It turned out that the second generation hadn't officially debuted at that time!"

In Shi Ye's heart, there was a little joy in solving the additional questions assigned by the teacher, but his face was still indifferent, and there was no change.

He turned off his phone and walked towards the shadows of the park, gradually disappearing into the night.

Kaito Kidd's performance is coming to an end, and what he has to do is the "enthusiastic audience" who sent "congratulations" to the magician after the curtain call.
