Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 200: The Magician at the End of the Century

In the dead of night, the streets of Tokyo still echoed with the sirens of police cars, and a white hang glider flew across the night sky among tall buildings.

Just after Ayumi fell asleep, she heard a strange noise from the balcony, and under the bright moonlight, the shadow of a cloak fluttering through the curtains was reflected on the bedroom floor.

"Um?"

Ayumi blinked, got up and opened the floor-to-ceiling windows, and saw a gentleman wearing a white cloak standing against the wind on the balcony railing.

"Who are you, Mr. Vampire?"

The gentleman looked back at Ayumi and said with a smile, "No, I'm tired from flying, so stop and rest for a while."

The gentleman jumped off the armrest, took Ayumi's little hand and kissed the back of it lightly: "It's just a kind of magic, little girl."

"Buzz!" With the loud beeping of the propellers, a helicopter climbed to a high place, and the light illuminated the balcony.

At the same time, two searchlights came from the ground.

"There! Don't let that guy get away!"

"Catch Kaito Kid quickly!"

"Hmph." The gentleman raised his lips and jumped out of the balcony to spread out his hang glider, "Goodbye, little girl."

...

"Lupine in the Heisei era?"

At Kido Detective Agency, while Xiao Ai was sorting out the books, Gao Cheng watched the news with a displeased face.

"Guy Kidd, it seems that the movement has become more and more serious recently?"

"What?" Xiao Ai smiled lightly and looked at Gao Cheng, "What are you going to do? Do you want to help the police arrest him?"

"of course……"

Gao Cheng opened his mouth, suddenly a little discouraged.

He really can't do anything about Kidd, he can't catch Kuroba Kaito, right?

"Hey," Xiao Ai placed the account book in front of Gao Cheng, "This is the situation in the past two months. I haven't had any income since last month, and I haven't even had any income this month."

Gao Cheng had a headache for a while: "Isn't it because the client was killed in the middle... Anyway, there is still a deposit of 500,000, okay? Last month, I didn't make any money because I have been traveling outside and helping with the investigation..."

"So what's next?" Xiao Ai looked at Gao Cheng indifferently.

Since he started managing accounts, Xiao Ai has become more and more involved in the role. Now, let alone playing mahjong, he is not allowed to visit Uncle Mao Li at all.

According to Xiao Ai, he didn't want him to learn from his uncle.

"I see, I will find a way to make money." Gao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and took the newspaper with the news of Kaitou Kidd beside him.

It's really not the way to go on like this...

On August 19, at the Metropolitan Police Department, Gao Cheng followed a large number of police officers into the auditorium and took a seat.

"Now the Kaito Kid special search meeting."

After sending out a file to everyone, some police officers got up and started reporting.

"Phantom Thief No. 1412, commonly known as Phantom Thief Kidd, committed 134 crimes in total, 15 of which were in foreign countries, the United States, France, Germany, etc., and traveled all over twelve countries. A total of 152 gems were stolen, and the total amount of theft reached 38.725 billion. Yuan……"

"Wow." Gao Cheng couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

That bumbling thief actually made such a big fuss...

The Metropolitan Police Department searched the second section of the police department. Nakamori Ginji's boss Chagi Shintaro said: "This Kaitou Kidd sent a notice letter yesterday, the lion at dusk until the girl at dawn, the clock without the second hand goes to the first At the time of 12 characters, descended from the bright castle in the sky, and received the eggs of memories...The magician at the end of the century, the phantom thief Kidd."

The content of the notice letter was projected onto the screen, which immediately caused restlessness in the entire venue.

"The Egg of Memories mentioned here was discovered in the treasure house of the Suzuki Zaibatsu last month. It is the secret treasure of the Tsar, that is, the Egg of the Emperor's Easter."

Gao Cheng stared at the treasure on the screen without blinking, and continued to hear explanations from police officers.

"This Emperor's Easter Egg is a treasure given to the Empress by the Russian Emperor at Easter. It was made by the gem maker Faberrouge. There were only 50 eggs in total between 1885 and 1916, and the ones discovered this time are 51st."

"This emperor's egg,

From August 23, it will be exhibited at the upcoming Suzuki Art Museum in Osaka Castle Park..."

Listening to the explanation, Gao Cheng kept biting his nails, and his right leg began to shake restlessly.

Having said so much, I just didn't say how much it is worth...

"Huh?!" The vicious-looking police officer next to him frowned and looked at Gao Cheng, looking as if he wanted to eat people, seeing Gao Cheng sitting up straight.

"About the content of the code," said the familiar Nakamori Ginji on the stage, "the first is the lion at dusk to the girl at dawn...meaning that the last day of Leo is from the dusk of August 22 to the dawn of the first day of Virgo, which represents the crime. day."

"As for the 12th character on the clock without a second hand, according to my guess, this should represent the moment when the crime was committed. The problem is that I haven't deciphered it... Finally, coming from the bright sky pavilion, it should refer to the castle tower. Osaka Castle is where Kaitou Kidd appeared..."

Uncle Mori, who was sitting on the other side of the venue, was uncomfortable sitting among the serious police officers, sweating a lot on his face, and applauding Nakamori Ginji together with the people around him before he could figure out the situation.

"This time we will work together with the Osaka Prefectural Police," Chagi Shintaro said, "and at the request of Mr. Suzuki, we specially invited famous detectives Mori Kogoro and Kido Takamari to participate in the investigation."

Everyone at the venue turned their eyes to Uncle Mao Li and Gao Cheng, the serious look startled the uncle, and Gao Cheng felt uncomfortable.

The eyesight of these policemen is really sharp, it makes people want to be stripped...

"The purpose of our joint investigation this time is to guard the treasure," Chaki Shintaro said loudly, "Even if the prisoner escapes, we must keep the treasure..."

Next to him, Ginji Nakamori snatched the microphone, ignoring the bewildered boss who gritted his teeth and said, "Guys, how can we let him go so easily? The treasure is in the second place, do you understand it! Bet on the prestige of our police And pride, we must put that bad thief in prison! We must catch him! Otherwise, we will lose the prestige of our police!"

"Yes!"

The police officers at the scene were excited and wished to tear Kidd up immediately. Only Gao Cheng slowly wiped his sweat.

Officer Nakamori, is it really okay to speak so full of words? That's what it seemed to say on the TV news last time...

If it wasn't for the remuneration, it would be okay, and he definitely didn't want to get involved with this gang of overzealous policemen.

By the way, why did Kidd find Suzuki's house again?

On August 22, Xiao Ai and Dr. Ali went to Tokyo Station to see Gao Cheng and Uncle Mori's family off.

"Doctor, Xiao Ai will trouble you to take care of her these few days."

"Yeah," Dr. A Li laughed, "Actually, I'm always being taken care of by Xiao Ai. Recently, I can't eat meat anymore..."

"So," Xiao Ai finally followed Gao Cheng and asked, "Do you have any clue about that notice letter?"

"Please, you also know I'm not good at codes."

Gao Cheng smiled awkwardly, and promised: "Don't worry, even if I don't know Kidd's actions, I will definitely be able to guard the treasure."

"But," Xiao Ai pursed her lips, "I always have a bad feeling this time."

"It'll be fine," Gao Cheng patted Xiao Ai on the shoulder, picked up his luggage and followed Uncle Mao Li, "I'll be back in a few days."

"Um."
