Chapter Seventy-Seven: To Live or To Destroy?
……
The yacht is getting closer and closer to the port of Tokyo. In the ship's engine room, Conan and Kidd the Monster Thief are still facing off.
“…… The reason why you can disguise yourself as Xiaolan is when Xiaolan is looking for me and leaving the venue. ”
"It's remarkable!" Conan was full of admiration for Kidd's transformation technique.
"I didn't even quite notice. After you successfully impersonated Xiaolan. not only used that message, but also made the guests at the scene waver. ”
"It also exploded the Black Pearl, plunging everyone into chaos."
"So you took advantage of this confusion and took the opportunity to help Lady Suzuki up when she fell, and snatched the real pearl into your own hands."
“………”
At this time, Kidd, a strange thief disguised as Xiaolan, had his head down and his face was gloomy, making it impossible to know what he was thinking.
"And that's why you're preparing so many pyrotechnic bombs. It's because you know Mrs. Suzuki, who has long made a lot of imitation black pearls. ”
"Right?"
"Nasty, don't be kidding, Conan." Looking at the strange thief Kidd at this time, he wanted to defend a few more words.
"Which one is the real black pearl, did I get any hints, and how could I possibly steal that pearl?"
"No, you knew from the beginning that it was the real Black Pearl." Conan interrupted her directly.
"Because you noticed, Mrs. Suzuki took the black pearl out of the small box after putting on her gloves."
"You know that the main ingredient in pearls is calcium carbonate. Very susceptible to acid corrosion. ”
"If I touch the grease of my finger and get dirty. The surface of the pearl will acidify, which in turn will lose its surface luster. ”
"And you also know that that kind of precious treasure can't be handed over to someone else."
"Judging from these points alone, how can it be .........?"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Conan again. "It's not enough to rely on these points alone, but as long as it is matched with the pearl that Mrs. Suzuki is wearing, it does not have that dazzling luster. You can confirm this guess."
"This one looks like a pearl that has been exhibited in many famous museums. Either way, the protective shine will fade gradually. ”
"And the luster of pearls is only a few decades at most. This pearl was purchased 60 years ago, so it is impossible to shine as brightly as it did today. ”
"Since it's a pearl that has lost its luster. Mrs. Suzuki will, if she has a good time, put on gloves and take it out. ”
"Then everything is clear."
At this time, Xiaolan tapped her lips with her fingers and said very cutely: "However, how can the luster of that dark star on display in the Rice Flower Museum look so bright?" ”
"That's why the pearl wasn't stolen. Because you know that one, it's a fake. ”
Conan directly put the football under his feet in front of him, and said slowly: "It is precisely because of this that you will provoke the second time with a notice letter, prompting Mrs. Suzuki to carry the real black pearl." ”
And on the letter, it was also noted, the real three words. Right? ”
"Alright then!" Xiaolan looked at Conan so sure that he was a strange thief Kidd, and slowly walked to the side of the telephone.
"Then we'll call the police."
"Smack~~~"
Conan hit the telephone directly with a powerful volley, and except for the microphone in Xiaolan's hand, the entire phone was shattered by Conan's powerful range.
"Uh~~~" I saw the beads of sweat on Xiaolan's face, and they came down in an instant.
“………”
At this time, Conan felt that he had a chance to win, and his whole person seemed to be burning.
"I, Conan, won't let you do it again, that trick on the roof of the hotel."
"Actually, at that time, you deliberately led the police to the building in Kakudo City."
"As for what happened to Taiyi there, a series of time was just an accident, but it succeeded in making you more sure when you escaped."
"At that time, you just used the glider to make me think you were escaping from the sky."
"And then take advantage of the flashbang throwing. He disguised himself as a police officer and joined the police and disappeared. ”
"And because many police officers mistakenly think that Taiyi is the thief Kidd, you can run away more calmly."
"Besides." Conan touched his glasses on the bridge of his nose. "It's so hard that you're just going to call people here and take advantage of the chaos to escape, that kind of vulgar trick?"
"I'm all on my toes, to pay tribute to an artist like you who broke into the scene of a crime alone!"
"I was very prepared. One-on-one with you. ”
Conan only thinks of Kidd, the strange thief, mocking in the building of Kakudo City, all the detectives are following the strange thief, the kind of nitpicking, criticizing thing, he feels a burst of fire.
Now, looking at the current monster thief Kidd, he is about to be captured by himself.
“…… Like most great artists, they became famous after their deaths. ”
"I'll make you a famous thief!"
"Kidd the Thief!"
"You're going to have to go to that prison grave right away."
Kidd, the strange thief who was originally disguised as Xiaolan, had a very gloomy face, but he didn't know what he suddenly thought of, and smiled.
"I'm really convinced of you, then I'll give up this pearl." As he spoke, he wrapped the dark star in his hand and threw it to Conan.
If Taiyi was here at this time, the mind would definitely come up with something like this. "Speaking of the strange thief Kidd, Xiaolan's appearance said the words of a man, and I don't know if Conan will remember this scene when he sees Xiaolan in the future, there will be a shadow!"
"I've forgotten one thing!" Kidd the Strange Thief pretended to be surprised, and said in his original voice, "I borrowed clothes from that girl. Let her sleep alone in the lifeboat. ”
"If she doesn't go to him, she might catch a cold."
"And I'm a perfectionist." As he spoke, Kidd the Monster Thief pulled out a pink hood from his chest.
"I'll !!"
Taking advantage of Conan's moment, Kidd took out a flashbang and threw it on the ground to escape.
"Bastard, stop me!" As soon as Conan wanted to chase out, he saw a red dress falling from the sky, plus that set of pink underwear.
"Is it to chase the monster thief Kidd at this time, or to save Xiaolan, who is covered in red fruits."
"There is a profound philosophical question, to survive or to perish? Do you want a fish or a bear's paw? It's ........."
"Of course, for Conan at this time, the strange thief Kidd can be caught again, but if Xiaolan is found somewhere."
“………”
Just thinking about it, Conan felt even more impatient, and ran straight to the cabin with the red dress left by Kidd who would be robbed on the ground.
