Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 58
"Oh, that's right! Here's another photo for you separately."

Seeing Teiji Moritani's expression as if he had eaten a fly, Director Ochiai slapped his forehead, as if he just remembered something, and took out another photo from the inside pocket of his jacket.

"This photo is what Kudo-san said to show you the last time. He also said that he gave that Mr. Ishino some suggestions for giving you gifts, and you should like it very much..."

Seeing the aerial photos taken by the curator Ochiai, the Clifford Tower shown in it is still in a perfect left-right symmetrical shape, and Teiji Moritani laughed angrily: "He is mocking me, no matter how hard he tries, he will surpass it." Can't it be the masterpiece of the predecessors?!"

"That's not the case." Curator Ochiai walked to the sugar sculpture of Clifford Tower, pressed the switch hidden under its base, shook his head and said, "What he means is that things are 'beautiful' The evaluation should not be superficial."

In the center of the base of the sugar sculpture, a circular pillar slowly rose up, pushing up the Clifford Tower from the very center.But the sculpture, which was supposed to maintain a stable center of gravity, fell to one side...

Seeing the scene in front of him, Moriya Teiji's brain went blank for an instant. After a few seconds, his complexion changed from blue to red, and then from red to purple. Under the rush of anger, his throat suddenly sweetened, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood , and finally fell down on the carpet with a pale face.

Seeing the prisoner suddenly squirting blood, Police Officer Mu Mu was also taken aback. He hurriedly asked for emergency rescue and contacted an ambulance.

And Conan, who witnessed all this, also woke up from endless self-doubt, thinking a little speechlessly, which guy not only pretended to be himself, but also had such a big resentment towards Teiji Moritani, and deliberately arranged this life to kill the other party. He vomited blood.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the ability to manipulate people's mentality, the other party is much better than himself.

A few minutes later, with the siren of the ambulance, the unconscious Teiji Moriya was finally carried on a stretcher and rushed to Mihua General Hospital for emergency treatment.

Although Conan really wanted to go to the movie theater immediately to catch the person pretending to be himself and find out the truth, but before he slipped out of the gate, he was stopped by the curator Ochiai who had been secretly watching him, and the other party reminded Mori Kogoro to watch out for children .

Seeing Director Ochiai's agility, Conan thought to himself that this old man is really not easy, knowing that he can't escape, he obediently followed Mori Kogoro to the police station to make a statement, and then returned to Mori Detective Affairs So, wait for Xiaolan to come back and ask what happened.

……

While Conan was contemplating over there, Kaito, who was sitting in the auditorium of the cinema, was also sitting awkwardly next to Xiaolan, hoping that the movie would end soon.

That's right, at the moment pretending to be Kudo Shinichi and Xiao Ran watching the movie together is none other than Kudo Shinichi's half-brother Kuroba Kaito.

And the reason why he appeared here in a disguised identity had to start with an international long-distance call this morning.

Originally, he planned to take advantage of the rare weekend to practice his magic skills and prepare for Kaito Kidd's next move. Unexpectedly, as soon as he woke up, his mother Chikage Kuroba called and arranged a temporary mission for him. .

During the phone call, Qianying asked him to help. At six o'clock this evening, she pretended to be a high school student detective Kudo Shinichi and went to Mihua Film City to watch a movie with the other party's girlfriend Mao Lilan.

Faced with this confusing and strange request from his mother, although Kuaibi complained, he turned on the computer obediently, received the email from his mother, and opened the video link inside.

Seeing the high-spirited Kudo Shinichi being interviewed in the video, Kaito complained that this guy is really attractive, and at the same time was secretly surprised that the other party and himself, whether it is the appearance or the voice, can not be said to be very similar, can only say is exactly the same.

If he hadn't looked through other materials and saw that the other party's father Yusaku Kudo also looked very similar to his father, he would have wondered if this guy was his twin brother who was secretly raised by his parents in other people's homes up.

After reading Kudo Shinichi's profile, Kaito tried to imitate the tone of the other party a little bit. He felt that he could pretend to be [-]% like him by just applying some pomade and changing his hairstyle, so he clicked on the profile of his date Mouri Ran .

When he first saw the photo of the other party, Kaito was a little taken aback when he saw the girl's cute face, which was [-]% similar to Aoko, thinking that there is such a coincidence in this world.

But when he clicked on Xiaolan's karate competition video, he suddenly felt that the eight points were reduced to five points, and the gentle and virtuous Qingzi was far superior!At the same time, I was also a little worried, if the other party found out, would I KO myself on the spot...

Suddenly feeling that the difficulty of the task has risen sharply, Kaito felt that it was a bit of a loss to agree to his mother's request so easily, so he called his mother again and started bargaining with her.

"Your brother-in-law-to-be asked for this matter. He said that if you agree to help, you can go to his dessert shop for free in the future, but you are not allowed to pack it!"

"Brother-in-law-to-be? When did I have an extra sister?" Kaito asked his mother's words.

"Did you forget? It's your cousin, Kasaka Natsumi! Her fiancé is the 'dessert magician' Ishino, if you have any questions, you can ask him yourself." On the other end of the phone, Chikage directly threw the pot at Ishino .

That's right, when Ishino contacted Kuroba Pirates, he said that there was no need to hide this matter from Kaito, and he could just ask him for help in his own name, as long as he concealed his relationship with Teacher Pirates.

After all, I will definitely meet Kaito tonight, and the other party also needs to know the intersection between himself and Kudo Shinichi in advance. With this kid's intelligence ability, it is not difficult to figure out the relationship between the two families.

So when Kaito heard Natsumi's name, he remembered that he had indeed met this cousin who was ten years older than him when he was a child, but he hadn't seen her since she went to study in France.

When he heard Shi Ye's unfamiliar name, he immediately searched the Internet, and immediately found the other party's information.

After learning about Ishino's level and knowing that the other party opened a dessert shop in Mihua Town, Kaito felt that the salary was quite a bargain.

"Miss Xia Mei has already returned to Japan? Seeing that Mr. Ishino is her fiancé, I will reluctantly help him."

Although he was curious and confused about why Kudo Shinichi didn't go to the appointment, but asked him to impersonate him, and it was the prospective brother-in-law who had never masked himself to ask himself these questions, but Kaito still took on the task.

After all, as a magician, finding the answer to the puzzle by yourself is also a very worthwhile challenge.
