Chapter 130: True and False Monster Kidd
Tonight's Suzuki Library will exhibit the world's largest moonstone, the Memory of the Moon.
And this gem was placed in good condition in the mechanism box made by the right doorman of Sanshuiji.
In order to open this trap box, the owner did not hesitate to entrust Jiroyoshi Suzuki with the help of the monster thief Kidd.
If you want to open the box before Kidd the Thief, you'll need to find the book with a note on how to open the box.
All the books in that study were donated to the Suzuki Library.
"It's all in this room."
After saying that, Jiroyoshi Suzuki pushed the door open.
The room was pitch black, but there were two objects that seemed to glow.
"Ghosts, ghostsβ"
Xiaolan and Yuanzi hurriedly hugged each other, looking ahead in horror, trembling.
"Ghosts?"
The lights in the room came on, and they finally saw the original figure of the glowing object clearly.
It turned out to be a short-haired girl with glasses, who looked ordinary and dressed very plainly.
The glasses on the bridge of the girl's nose were still shining.
As if to react to something, she pressed the button on the bezel of her glasses, and the light disappeared in an instant, returning to the normal state of her glasses.
"Auntie, are they?"
Tomorose explained with a smile, "They invited the distinguished guests to help find a way to open the box. β
The girl showed a look of sudden realization, and then showed an apologetic expression.
"My name is Harumi, please advise."
After saying that, she looked at the two of them, "I'm sorry I scared you just now." You okay? β
"No, it's fine."
Xiaolan and Yuanzi breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that they were not ghosts.
"In other words, let's just look for it separately, right?"
As he spoke, Mori Kogoro stepped into the study room, only to see that the book inside was as high as a two-story building.
And there are more than 10,000 books here.
"One, ten thousand? That's too much, right? It's a fight with the study of the new family. β
"But how do you find so many books?"
The garden spread his hands, and his tone was full of helplessness.
Kogoro Mori held a few books and placed them on the table.
"I can only turn it over one by one."
He was wearing a mask because of a cold, and the two pairs of eyes he exposed made people feel deep helplessness and close to despair.
After hurriedly scanning it, seeing that there was none, he picked up the next book and continued.
I couldn't help but complain, "If only we could have someone look for us before we came." β
"I finished the book here yesterday and didn't find a note."
Harumi said, looking up and looking around, "However, I've only done a cursory flip, and there may be something missing." β
"Huh?"
Everyone looked surprised.
Not because I didn't find the note, but because such a girl actually read all 10,000 books in one day?
Sounds incredible.
"But, if there's something in a book, you should be able to turn to that page quickly, right?"
Dr. Asa raised his own questions.
"My aunt searched for my uncle when he was out, but she couldn't find it."
Harumi took several books from the shelves and placed them on the table.
It's all some reasoning, and horror.
Perhaps, it is hidden in a book that I don't usually read.
"Let's start with these books."
As soon as Mori Kogoro finished speaking, he began to cough desperately.
"Before looking for a book, you go to the toilet and take the cough medicine prescribed by the hospital."
"Okay."
Kogoro Mori put his hands in his trouser pockets, turned around and prepared to leave.
"If you want to take medicine, there is a drink vending machine in the lobby." Gray Yuan Wai kindly reminded.
"I'll go to the toilet too."
"I'll go too."
Dr. Asa and Conan, together with Mori Kogoro, seem to be looking for some gold ingots.
Harumi silently pulled out a few books related to love skills from the shelf, looking interested.
Looking at it, he fell asleep on the table.
The gray plain on the side watched this scene and was silent for a long time.
Could it be that the book still has a hypnotic effect?
Intrigued, she took a closer look.
"Wang Defa sat on the tractor, stared at the blonde and blue-eyed Miss Tie Dan on the side, and said, 'Oh my God, you are like Aunt Ma Lulian's roasted durian pie, as tempting'."
When Miss Tie Dan heard this, she lowered her little head shyly.
Not to mention Harumi's, now even the gray plain mourns and yawns.
It's not just hypnosis, maybe this book has a wonderful effect on insomnia.
Gently flipped up the book, only to see Wang Defa on the book cover with gilded big characters.
What kind of strange book is this?
Gray Yuan couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Hey, what about Sister Xiaolan and Sister Yuanzi?"
At this time, the group finally returned to the study.
"They also went to the toilet shortly after you left."
Because there are more people in line in the women's toilet, the two of them went for a longer time.
"By the way, did you find the note?"
Conan asked, looking at Okiya.
"Nope. But there are a lot of reasoning here that I haven't seen, and before I know it, I'm fascinated. β
Tomoyoshi walked up to Harumi and patted her gently.
"Harumi, why are you asleep here?"
He raised his head in a daze, looking sleepy-eyed.
She smoothed her hair and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I was too obsessed with playing games yesterday." β
It turns out that it's just because you're sleepy all night?
Gray Yuan's expression was a little speechless, and he thought it really had a hypnotic effect.
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but yawn again.
"By the way, Auntie, did you also make potato stew today? It has the taste of soy sauce and sweet cooking wine. β
Harumi sniffed, only to feel that the taste was exceptionally clear, as if it was around him.
Tomoyo Gonghua shook his head with a puzzled expression.
"Maybe it's the gentleman."
She looked at Okiya.
"Before he came here, he did make potato stew."
As he spoke, Gray Yuan closed the book in his hand.
"Speaking of which, potato stew is my aunt's specialty, and my uncle's favorite."
"At that time, in order to make this dish, I also asked my mother-in-law for advice. Later, my husband saw that I liked to cook, so he bought a lot of cookbooks. β
Tomoyoshi looked at the cooking section, "I've read all these books carefully." β
At this time, Yuan Zi and Xiaolan also returned to the study.
"In this way, you don't have to look through the cookbook."
"Hey, are you wearing makeup?"
Xiaolan noticed the change in the garden, and it looked a little more mature than before.
Yuan Zi smiled, "I was sneaking in the bathroom just now, after all, Lord Kidd will come." β
"Kidd? Blame Kidd the Thief? β
"Yes!"
Sonoko looked at Harumi and showed an excited expression, "Are you also a fan of Lord Kidd?" β
Harumi shook his head.
He smiled imperceptibly, as if he had discovered something interesting.
Conan stood aside, looking at the people present.
Try to find the character Kidd is pretending to be this time from the clues.
Xiaolan brought a chair, placed it next to the bookshelf, took off her shoes and stood up, trying to remove one of the books on it.
But because of the height limit, there is still a little distance.
If you step on the climbing ladder, you can naturally get it, but both climbing ladders are currently in use, so you can only wait until they are vacant.
"What you want, this book, right?"
Harumi took the book and handed it to Xiaolan.
"Yes, thank you!"
After Xiaolan took it, her expression could not hide her joy.
After reading the name on the book, Yuan Zi smiled knowingly.
"Thirteen Conditions for Making a Detective a Lover."
Yuanzi read out the title of the book as it was.
Xiaolan was shy, and her face turned slightly crimson, and she hurriedly covered the book in her arms.
"Huh?"
Harumi opened a cookbook, took out a card, and read out the contents.
"The note with the password to the trap box, I took the thief Kidd."
What the?
"Sister Harumi, can you show me the card?"
Conan hurriedly ran over.
After the result card, Tsai carefully looked at it, and it was indeed the handwriting and logo of the strange thief Kidd.
So, did Kidd the Strange Thief really take the note?
That now
Just as Conan was thinking this, the lights in the room went out instantly.
"Outage, power outage?"
"It's Kidd, Lord Kidd is here!"
Followed by the sound of the cage falling to the ground and the melody of the music box, the sound of the familiar nursery rhyme was played.
"Could it be that Kidd the Strange Thief has already succeeded?"
Everyone hurriedly ran out to find out.
Soon the lights came back on, and only Conan and Harumi were left in the library.
Conan closed the door and looked at her.
Harumi felt a little inexplicable.
"Little brother, what are you doing here? Why not go out with them? β
"That's right, I should have asked you."
Conan's expression and tone changed suddenly, and the confident smile on his face made one wonder if he was just a child.
That kind of look is not something that a child has.
"Kidd the Thiefβ"
He said the true name of the person in front of him.
"Why do you think I'm going to be the Kidd the Thief?"
Harumi asked calmly.
"Very simple trick. First, open a book at random, and then put a card in it when everyone is not looking, creating the illusion that the note has been taken away. β
"And the blackouts, the iron cages, the music, are just a trick of yours. The box was not opened at all, and the contents were left as they were. β
Harumi clapped his hands.
There was not the slightest expression on his face, and the applause sounded very perfunctory, as if it was just a comforting effect.
"If I'm Kidd the Thief, how do you explain the conversation I had with my aunt?"
Conan was momentarily stunned.
"But"
The other party conjured a large piece of white cloth out of nowhere, and just shook it off like this, and turned into a strange thief Kidd.
It's still the familiar, ever-changing outfit.
"Long time no see, little detective."
The familiar smile, as well as the tone and voice, all told him that the person in front of him was the strange thief Kidd.
Such a trick of instant disguise does seem to have been performed by the strange thief Kidd.
The previous suspicions were suddenly forgotten by Conan.
"It's you, Kidd the Thief."
Kidd, the thief in front of him, laughed, "I didn't steal anything this time. So, can you let me go? β
"At least before you leave, you have to let me know who is impersonating me, right?"
Conan was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at the person beside him.
What's going on?
There were two monster thieves Kidd!
