Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Prey Targeted by Two Monster Thieves at the Same Time

In the end, the police sent a helicopter to the rescue, and a group of people boarded the helicopter one after another and left the Dusk Pavilion.

As for the fate of the building, which was made entirely of gold, it was not a topic of concern to the detectives.

Xiao Bai Fei returned to Zero's shoulder, constantly rubbing his head against Zero's cheek. Obviously, it's asking for credit: "I got the police helicopter to the ground without incident, and I'm complimenting me!" ”

"Xiaobai, you did a great job!" Zero complimented Xiaobai, then reached out and smoothed Xiaobai's hair, and touched its head again. Xiaobai enjoyed the caress of Zero, which was very comfortable and satisfied.

The incident in the Pavilion of Dusk was resolved relatively quickly, although it failed to prevent the death of Zhuzen Great, but the other party was originally a suspicious person, so Zero felt that he didn't have to worry too much about it.

In the original plot, in order to let the real murderer behind the scenes take the initiative to appear, these detectives later seemed to stage a cannibalistic scene. Sitting in the helicopter, Zero felt that it was still necessary for the incident to be resolved in advance, after all, he really didn't want to play that kind of lame show.

Zero suddenly noticed that Conan, who was sitting next to him, seemed to be making some small movements, so he looked at the other party and found that he was pointing his watch at the "Mori Kogoro" on the right front seat, and could fire an anesthetic needle at any moment.

Sure enough, this guy has seen through Kidd's identity and is ready to arrest him directly on the police helicopter?

It was too late, and Conan's anesthetic needle had already shot out.

And at the moment when the anesthetic needle was ejaculated, Zero didn't know what to think about, the middle finger of the index finger of his right hand stretched out sharply, and he suddenly clamped the anesthetic needle that was ejected.

Conan saw that his scalp was numb for a while, and he suddenly clamped the anesthetic needle that shot out with two fingers, Sister, what kind of acrobatics are you performing!?

No, that's not the point.

"Why are you stopping me? You probably know that Uncle Kogoro in front of you is actually pretending to be the thief Kidd. Conan asked Zero in a low voice, his tone very unkind.

Zero didn't know why he just stretched out his hand.

"Uh...... Presumably...... The body's subconscious ...... Instinctive reaction? ”

Okay, that's an outrageous reason, but Zero doesn't seem to be lying, it's really an instinctive reaction or something.

"Who are you fooling?" Conan really didn't believe Zero's words, "You know Kidd the Monster Thief?" Know who he really is, right? ”

After all, it is a zero loss at the moment, so being forced by Conan to ask him like this, he also inexplicably weakened his momentum: "What is the ...... Still don't know you...... Or guess? ”

"As far as I can guess, you have a lot of money to do with Kidd the Monster Thief, and it's likely that you like Kidd? Or are you lovers? ”

Ha? When Zero heard this, his face immediately changed. What are you talking about, you little brat, I like Kidd? Me and he are lovers?

The ancients had a cloud that the bear child did not go to the house for three days to uncover the tiles, and it seems that I am not deceiving.

Originally, I was a little embarrassed to stop you from catching Kidd, but you guys just got on your nose and face. In that case, don't blame me for being rude.

Zero pinched the anesthetic needle with his thumb and forefinger and plunged it into Conan's arm.

"You...... Mix...... Whew-whew-" The effect of the anesthetic needle was really excellent, and in just over a second, Conan fell asleep completely.

Xiaolan, who was sitting next to "Kogoro", heard Conan's snoring, turned her head and asked, "Is Conan asleep?" ”

"Well, after all, it's past eleven o'clock in the evening, so he must be sleepy too." Zero Zi smiled at Xiaolan and said.

At this moment, "Kogoro" suddenly said to the pilot of the helicopter in front: "By the way, if you can, please go to the gas station, after all, someone is there and wants you to pick it up." ”

Before the driver and the other detectives could understand what "Kogoro" meant, he suddenly opened the hatch and jumped in. Although the White Horse Detective realized that he was about to slip away as he spoke, he suddenly had no time to stop the incident.

The other detectives were all startled when they saw "Maori Kogoro" jumping out of the plane, and Xiaolan was even more stupid.

However, it was not long before "Mori Kogoro" suddenly propped up a glider, and then completed his disguise in the air, revealing his usual white suit, monocular and top hat.

"Strange, strange thief Kidd!" The crowd exclaimed.

The white horse probe slapped his seat: "Damn, let him run away again." ”

Xiaolan never thought that her father had always been pretending to be Kidd, which made her fall into a mess: "Then where is my real father?" ”

Zero comforted her and said, "Didn't Kidd just say, let's pick up people at the gas station." Xiaolan, did you pass by any gas stations when you came to the Twilight Pavilion? I guess Uncle Kogoro was transferred there. ”

So, the helicopter first went to the gas station, rescued Mori Kogoro who was tied up in a ball and locked in the toilet of the gas station, and then returned to Tokyo with the others.

Senma was detained, while the others went back to their respective homes, and Conan, who was asleep, was carried back to the Maori Detective Agency by Ran.

The next morning, when Conan woke up from his bed, his first reaction was to get up and shout, "Zero, you bastard!" ”

Belch...... Looking around, it looks like it's the detective agency's own room.

"What's wrong with Zero?" Xiaolan heard the movement and opened the door and asked.

"No, it's nothing, it's just that I have nightmares about her bullying me."

"Really, Zero is such a gentle girl, how can she bully you, and have some strange dreams."

When Conan heard Xiaolan's words, he couldn't help but hehe in his heart. She's still gentle? If she wants to be gentle, there will be no violent women in the world.

After a hurried breakfast, Conan shouted to Xiaolan, "I'm out playing!" Then he quickly ran out of the office.

Of course, Conan didn't go out to play, but went straight to Zero's house to settle the score.

Coming to the door of Aino's apartment Zero, Conan knocked on the door with a "bang".

After more than ten seconds, Zero came over and opened the door, and when she saw that it was Conan standing outside the door, she backhanded and prepared to close the door.

Conan's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly reached into the door. Zero had no choice but to let him in, and if he forced the door closed, he would definitely hurt Conan's arm.

"Tell me the true identity of Kidd the Monster Thief!" After Conan entered the door, he went straight to the point and said.

Zero's reply was simple: "No." ”

If you can catch Kidd by yourself, that's your own ability, but if I want to reveal the information of Black Feather Kaito to you, then don't think about it, if you let Hongzi know, then I still want to be at peace in the future.

"Are you and Kidd lovers?"

"No, beware of me beating you up if you talk nonsense."

"Then why didn't you tell me Kidd's true identity?"

"No why."

Conan was also speechless in the face of Zero's attitude of not making oil and salt, and his eyes rolled around in a bone, thinking about what way to make Zero open his mouth to tell him the truth.

But the result is destined to disappoint Conan, whether he knows it with emotion or reason, or sells cute and cute, Zero is just silent, no matter what he doesn't reveal to Conan.

Conan was helpless and snorted and prepared to leave Zero's house, but before leaving, he also said a cruel word: "If you don't say it, don't say it, I will definitely catch your man." ”

In Conan's opinion, the relationship between Zero and Kidd must be unusual, otherwise she would have no reason to protect that guy in every possible way.

When Zero heard this, he was angry. Little brat, do you understand the truth that you can eat indiscriminately and can't talk nonsense?

As I said just now, I'm going to beat people up if you talk nonsense, and it's not good to take what others say as a deaf ear.

So Zero directly punched Conan on the head "gently", and Zero dared to touch his conscience to ensure that the punch was really light, only so light that the top of Conan's head immediately swollen a big bag......

Conan finally covered his head and left, looking at the back of Conan leaving, Zero's mood was also a little complicated. Black Feather Kuaidou, I can offend this little guy a little hard for you, you owe me a big favor.

Not long after Conan left, Zero's mobile phone rang, and when he took out his phone, he saw that it was Toshio Utsumi.

Connecting the phone, Toshio Utsumi's voice came: "Hey, Miss Kanedaichi, I received a notice letter from Maoyan, can you please help capture Maoyan?" ”

To be honest, Zero feels like he's been busy lately, and he just finished solving the incident at the Twilight Pavilion yesterday, so he's not very happy to accept Toshio Utsumi's commission right now. However, thinking of the last time I was in the Cat's Eye Cafe, I actually intended to give myself laxatives, and Zero, who has always been very vindictive, felt that he had to take revenge.

"Of course, no problem, where do we meet?"

"It's at the Rice Flower Art Museum, Maoyan wants to steal a piece of the museum's collection."

"Okay, I'll get there as soon as possible."

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” plot dividing lineβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Zero took a bus to the Rice Flower Art Museum, where Toshio Utsumi and the curator were already waiting at the door.

The curator held out his hand to Zero and introduced himself, "Katsuichiro Yamanaka." ”

Katsuichiro Yamanaka was dressed very modestly, with flat haircuts, and looked less than thirty-five years old, which is very young for an art museum director.

Zero shook hands with the other party, and then introduced himself: "I'm Kaneda Zero Son." ”

"Miss Kanedaichi's name, I've admired it for a long time." Katsuichiro Yamanaka said humbly, "I hope you can help me stop the theft of Maoyan and Lupin III this time." ”

"Okay, no problem." As soon as Zero agreed, he immediately felt that something was wrong, "How can there be a matter of Lupin III?" ”

"Well, they sent the notice letter around the same time...... Didn't the Inland Sea Police Officer tell you? ”

Toshio Utsumi was playing haha on the side: "I'm sorry, I only said something about Maoyan on the phone just now, and I missed Lupin III." ”

Zero immediately felt a little headache, big brother, can Lupin III leak?

Lupin III was a thief on Kidd's foot, and his team was very strong. Overall, the Lupin III team is much more powerful than the three Maoyan sisters.

Like Kidd, Lupin the Third himself was a master of cross-dressing, and his ability to shoot firearms and throwing knives, as well as his ability to fight with bare hands and cold weapons, combined with his superior intelligence and planning skills, made him a formidable opponent.

And Lupin III also had two accomplices - Daisuke Jigen and Goemon Ishikawa.

Daisuke Jimoto, a former killer who later became Lupin's partner, has a calm and calm personality, and has a good marksmanship.

Ishikawa Goemon is the thirteenth descendant of the great thief Ishikawa Goemon who died in a kettle during the Warring States period, and his swordsmanship is unfathomable, and he can cut steel with a katana. If Kyogoku is really the ceiling of force in the state of empty hands, then it is very likely that Ishikawa Goemon is the ceiling of force in the state of holding a sword.

There is also a Feng Fujiko who doesn't know if he can be regarded as Lu Bang's accomplice, this is also a woman who is both righteous and evil and very difficult, as for how difficult it is...... Aoyama Gosho once said that Kudo Yukiko and Belmode were both created based on Mine Fujiko, and that Kudo Yukiko represents the bright side of Mine Fujiko (the "Arikiko" in Kudo Yukiko's name comes from the first voice actor Nikaido Arikiko who voiced Mine Fujiko), and Belmode represents the dark side of Mine Fujiko. This shows how difficult it is for the woman to deal with.

If it is just against the three sisters of Maoyan, Zero is not false, but now that a Lupin team is added, then Zero has no bottom in his heart.

Zero asked the curator, "What are they going to steal?" ”

"It's a painting called 'Heavenly Punishment.'"

How does the painting called "Heavenly Punishment" sound so familiar?

…… Yes!

Zero remembers, Rice Flower Art Museum, isn't it the art museum where that murder case happened!

At the beginning, the director of the museum (the previous one) wore knight's armor and nailed the victim to the wall with a knight's sword, and the whole scene was a parody based on the painting "Heavenly Punishment".

Later, the case was solved by Conan, and the former curator was imprisoned. The curator in front of him should be his successor.

Unexpectedly, the "Heavenly Punishment" was targeted by Maoyan and Lupin at the same time.

Cat's Eye stole the painting in order to collect their father's works, so does that mean that this "Heavenly Punishment" was also painted by their father?

Conan's animation is linked to Lupin, but Maoyan should have no intersection with Lupin. And "Heavenly Punishment" is obviously a painting that appeared in Conan's works, and now it has become a work painted by the father of the three cat-eye sisters......

It seems that this case should be an independent case that does not belong to any of its own known plots.

It's really troublesome, what can I do to save this painting from the two strange bands?

Zero thought for a moment and asked the curator: "Did Maoyan and Lupin III know that they wanted to steal the painting to the media?" ”

"Not yet."

"Now it's going to be announced right away, and it's important to highlight the fact that two major groups of thieves are present at the same time. At the same time, a poll was posted on the Internet - 'Lupin VS Maoyan, who is the more powerful monster thief?' Then two groups of people were hired to make comments on the Internet, one group of people specifically to blow the cat's eye to disparage Lupin, and the other group to blow Lupin to depreciate the cat's eye. ”

Blame the thief, always think that his stealing ability is the best in the world, all Zero has to do now is to incite the antagonism between Maoyan and Lupin, it would be great if they could have a wave of infighting before committing the theft.

Of course, I don't know if it's useful to do this, but after thinking for a while, Zero confessed to the curator: "I'll make a call and see if I can ask for a helper." ”

Next, Zero walked to the corner and dialed the number of Black Feather Kaito with his mobile phone.

After the phone was connected, I only heard Kuaidou say in a tone that did not welcome Zero's call: "Why are you contacting me?" ”

"I have something to ask you for help?"

"What's the matter? Do you want me to steal something for you? ”

"What do you think of me, I'm a righteous detective, okay? At the same time, the museum received a notice from Lupin III and Maoyan that they wanted to steal a painting called 'Heavenly Punishment', so the museum director asked me to protect the painting. I think you're a monster with them, and you're familiar with their routines, so I want you to help me stop them. ”

"I don't agree." Kaito rightfully rejects Zero's request. He and Lupin III and Maoyan had no grudges in the past, so why should they offend their peers for the sake of Jintian Yilingzi, a violent woman.

"You owe me a big favor." Zero continued, "Last night in the police helicopter, Conan's little kid tried to shoot you with a narcotic needle, but I stopped it. ”

"Blow, keep bragging." Kaito didn't notice Conan's actions last night, and of course he thought Zero was talking about it. You say I owe you a favor? Then if you make up a few reasons in the future, won't I owe you a bunch of favors?

Zero's face immediately turned black, Black Feather Kuaidou, you are too bad on the road, you just don't know how to lift!

"Black Feather Kaito, I warn you, if you come to help me obediently, then if you want to steal anything in the future, I will not stop you again. But if this 'Heavenly Punishment' is stolen today, you won't want to steal anything in the future, every time you send a notice letter, I will go to your house to block you! ”

After saying that, Zero hung up the phone.

Kuaidou listened to the "beep-toot-" sound from his mobile phone, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "Why is my life so bitterβ€”β€”! ”
