Seeing that Kidd on the screen was slowly approaching the scene, Uncle Maori snorted and glanced at me, and after conveying to me the meaning of "I will settle accounts with you when I go back", he said to everyone: "Since Kidd has appeared, let's go to the scene quickly, after all, the most important thing now is to protect the gem and prevent it from being stolen by Kidd, and the rest of the things will be too late to talk about later." ”

I shrank my head cooperatively, but I was a little surprised in my heart: I didn't expect that at the critical moment, Uncle Maori would take the initiative to defend me.

"The footage was taken by Camera Seven at the back door of the museum. The staff looked at the screen and reported to the crowd.

"Is the back door of the museum? Kidd, that guy dares to play tricks on me in front of my eyes...... I will never let him go!" shouted Officer Nakamori as he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and stared viciously at the figure on the screen.

"What should I do? To be on the safe side, activate the device and move the Golden Goddess Statue inside...... "The staff member asked Jiroyoshi Suzuki for instructions. I don't mention what kind of device it is, but I guess it's a protective measure.

"No, don't panic," compared to the staff's panic, Suzuki Jiroyoshi looked very calm, staring at the screen tightly and refusing to relax: "I'm just here to see today, I won't steal it, and that guy said he was going to come on foot, so let's see the appearance of this great monster thief known as the magician under the moon!"

"Let's go out and have a look, you stay here with a couple of imps. Uncle Maori instructed Xiaolan.

"But...... Conan's words had already run out just now. Lan pointed to the doorway behind Uncle Maori.

"What?!ah, really, that's why the imp is the most troublesome. Uncle Maori said almost groaning.

Hey, just say it, what are you doing with me?

"Then you take care of this little ghost, don't let him run away too!" Uncle Maori pointed to me in her arms to Xiaolan and said, "Let's go and go back"

"I see. Xiaolan nodded in response.

After Uncle Maori, Conan, and Officer Nakamori left, the pressure on me was finally much less, and I couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. It scared me to death just now, and I almost thought I was going to show my stuff.

"Now, Xiaohui, do you really know Kidd the Monster Thief?" Xiaolan asked me as she looked at the screen.

"How can I, an ordinary child, know the strange thief Kidd, Sister Xiaolan, you are really joking, hehe. "Now that all the difficult characters have left, then I have nothing to worry about, and if it is Xiaolan alone, I am confident that I can still cope with the past.

"However, you just concealed our contact with Kidd......"

"That's no way around, how do I know he's Kidd......" I said, pretending to be helpless.

"You really didn't lie to me?" Xiaolan was still skeptical.

"Of course ......"

"Lan, don't be deceived by him, he must be telling a lie!" Yuan Zi, who had been silently talking about "contemplation" on the side, suddenly raised his head, pointed at me in an extremely confident and powerful tone, and said: "This kid must know Kidd, otherwise, with your character, how could you cry so easily! Hmph, don't think you can escape the eyes of my 'Queen of Reasoning' Garden!"

"Uh, that's because ......" Looking at Xiaolan's suspicious gaze, I was entangled for a while, and finally I simply let it go, anyway, the master was embarrassed and lost home today, not bad this time.

"Because of what?"

"Because I'm afraid of ......" I pretended to bow my head as a "little daughter-in-law" and said aggrievedly: "When I was a child, my parents were busy with business, and they often left me alone at home and didn't come back all day...... It's so lonely, it's so scary......" while saying, I also pretended to be "crying": "I'm not afraid of anything, I'll be obedient, I'll be a good child, but don't leave me alone, I'm afraid of being alone...... Whining. ”

"Ahh......h

Seeing that the plan succeeded, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but curl secretly.

"Are you really crying?" said the gardener, skeptically walking up to me, carefully observing if I had tears, but ......

"Wow~~ I'm really shedding tears......" Yuan Zi smacked his tongue.

Sample, my brother's acting realm has long passed the realm of living on onions and pepper water, how can you see it as a yellow-haired girl.

"Ah, you are really the garden, I didn't listen to you if I knew it. Seeing that the garden was still giggling, Xiaolan couldn't help but complain slightly dissatisfied, and then continued to coax me: "Xiaohui is good, Sister Xiaolan won't go anywhere, is it okay to accompany Xiaohui here?" Sister Xiaolan will accompany Xiaohui at any time. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, don't believe we're pulling the hook. Lan smiled and held out her little thumb to me.

"Well, pull the hook, whoever lies, will swallow a thousand needles. ”

Xiaolan's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of heartache and pity when she looked at me: "Well, pull the hook." "It seems that Xiaolan really thinks of me as a child who is afraid of loneliness.

Looking at Xiaolan's pure eyes, I felt a sense of guilt from the bottom of my heart......

"Sister Xiaolan is the best, I will definitely be a child's ......" to achieve the goal, I hurriedly "broke into laughter", no, Xiaolan's healing smile is too powerful, if it goes on like this, I will take the initiative to confess and be lenient......

"Well, although it's not embarrassing to say this, I still want to say that Xiaohui looks much more pleasing to the eye now than before. Yuan Zi laughed as he said.

"Huh?" Xiaolan looked at the garden questioningly.

"In the past, although Xiaohui was also very cute, but how to say it, it feels too mature, just like a little adult, everything can be solved by itself, but it makes people feel awkward," Speaking of this, Yuan Zi looked at me and smiled: "Hawkers, the current appearance is good, children, just dare to laugh, always pretend to be mature with a tense face every day, it's really awkward." ”

I'm really mature, okay......

"That's what I said," Xiaolan lowered her head and smiled at me and said, "This kind of Xiaohui looks more real, unlike before, which is as perfect as if it were illusory...... Speaking of "perfect and almost illusory", Xiaolan was suddenly stunned and muttered, "Have I encountered similar things before......?"

I looked at Xiaolan's somewhat confused eyes with a somewhat complicated look, and interrupted her train of thought: "That, Sister Xiaolan, can you let me down?"

"Huh?" Xiaolan heard my voice, looked down, and suddenly realized that because the topic had been revolving around me, everyone had forgotten that Xiaolan had been holding me all along......

"That...... It's a little embarrassing. I said with some embarrassment. This is not pretending, it is really embarrassing. Since I was a child, I have never been in contact with any other woman's body except for a limited number of hugs with Xiao Ai and my mother, and the good smell of the girl's body on Xiaolan makes me a little flustered.

"Ah, blushing, blushing, shy Xiaohui is so cute......" As if seeing some rare species, seeing my blushing, Xiaolan was even more happy, and wrapped me tightly in her arms, even with a little thought just now.

"It's hard...... Accept. "My back was about to be crushed by Xiaolan, what a strange power! Only then did I remember that Xiaolan seemed to be the champion of the karate competition for high school students in the Kanto region......

"Look! Kidd the Strange Thief has appeared!" Just then, the garden's shouting drew both Ran and I's attention.

I looked in the direction of the monitoring screen, and saw a figure standing abruptly in the middle of the two buildings that had been empty on the monitoring screen!

Under the moon, above the sky, he stood in the void in a white gown, like a myth. The gentle wind gently stirred his white cloak, making the corners of his clothes sway slightly in the wind, elegant and chic, he looked down on the crowd on the ground like an elegant gentleman, with a cynical smile on his face, and the moon behind him seemed to add a huge halo to his body, making his whole person look a dazzling evil charm.

The crowd of onlookers couldn't help but shout with joy while being surprised! They were overjoyed by Kidd's shocking performance, and the huge sound could be clearly heard even in this surveillance vehicle far away from the scene.

"Lie, how can human flesh and blood violate the laws of gravity......" Not only the people in the monitoring room, but even I was deeply shocked by Kidd's performance!

Although I knew that his magic skills were superb, and I knew that his performances were both gorgeous and incredible every time, this time it was different, and Kaito's proud, awe-inspiring and inviolable posture brought me a huge, unparalleled impact!

"That's not true, is it?!" Xiaolan also looked at Kidd's figure on the screen in disbelief.

"Wow!!His Highness Kidd!!His Highness Kidd is floating in the air!! that's amazing!!" Yuan Zi cried out excitedly.

Compared to our surprise and the excitement of the garden, Jiroyoshi Suzuki was more angry, or should I say unwilling. Kidd did come on foot as he had said beforehand, but this way of "hiking" was something that no one could have predicted.

"Don't be fooled! This is a trick!" Suzuki Jiroyoshi stared at the screen as he gave an order over the walkie-talkie, "Kidd just used a black hot air balloon or something to hang a wire rope from the air to hold his body in place." A nearby helicopter went up to him to check it out!"

The helicopter soon flew over Kidd according to Suzuki Jiroji's instructions, but the news came -

"This, this is the number seven machine, and there's nothing on Kidd's head!"

"W-What?" said Jiroji Suzuki, stunned.

"His Highness Kidd must have a spell!, Ran?" the garden shouted excitedly to Ran. The guy's eyes were completely mesmerized by Kidd.

"Yes, yes......" Xiaolan reluctantly responded, she hadn't recovered from the rush just now.

There was nothing on it, could it be that ropes were put up on the buildings on both sides? Looking at the high-spirited smile in the picture, I couldn't help but think, no, Kaito wouldn't even be able to think of such a simple truth, what measures would he have taken, what was it?

I raised my hand and took out my phone and called Conan, which, by the way, was newly bought by Conan not long ago.

"Hey, it's me, have you checked both sides of the building? Is there a rope?" I asked Conan straight to the point as soon as the phone was connected.

“...... No. There was silence for a while, and Conan's somewhat unwilling voice came from the other side of the phone.

That's right...... I couldn't help but sigh.

"Did you find anything over there?"

"No, you think about it again, and then contact if there are any clues. ”

"Good. ”

Hanging up the phone, I smiled wryly. I didn't have to solve Kidd's puzzle this time, but I was a little frustrated that I couldn't guess a situation like this. I also learned magic from Uncle Thief, but my magic skills are far from Kaito. I have to say that Kaito's talent in magic is shocking.

"This is the No. 7 machine, what should I do?" said the voice of the pilot of the No. 7 machine over the intercom again.

"Don't move over there for now!"

"Understood. ”

"Kidd, what kind of method did you use!" Ending the call, Jiroyoshi Suzuki spun around in a bit of anger and yelled at the staff, "It's impossible to float in the air!

"Ladies and gentlemen!" waited for the noise to subside, and Kidd began his performance like a great magician in the limelight.

"Oh oh oh oh ————!!!"

The emotions of everyone present were once again stirred up by Kidd! The atmosphere was so hot that it almost seemed to be on fire!

"So, for tonight's rehearsal, please take a closer look at the miracle that happened on my limbs. After saying this, Kidd actually walked in the direction of the roof of the Suzuki Grand Museum step by step in front of everyone's eyes and in mid-air!

"Da, da, da......" The sound of footsteps sounded unhurriedly in the void, and Kidd walked as if he was strolling leisurely, the smile on his face unchanged at all, as if there was a transparent road to heaven in mid-air!

"This and this, this ......" The staff looked at the screen dumbfounded and couldn't speak, Xiaolan and I were even more dumbfounded, as for the garden, she was now looking at Kidd's uninhibited smile, as if she didn't know where she was.

"This is the number three, and Kidd is on foot right now......"

"I see, that's what 'hike to get' means......" I muttered as I looked at the screen.

How did you do that? I don't understand, I really don't understand......

"Can anyone tell me what this ruse is to ignore the truth between heaven and earth?" said Suzuki Jiroyoshi to himself as he looked at the incredible sight on the screen.

"This is the third plane, and Kidd is walking above Shiodome Park right now, so in less than a minute, you will be at the 'Miracle of the Sea' placed on the roof of the Suzuki Grand Museum......

Time passed minute by minute, and Kidd's figure was getting closer and closer to the gem.

"In a few seconds, Kidd the Monster Thief will be at the 'Miracle of the Sea'......"

Seeing that Kidd was about to reach the distance from the gem, the garden finally became anxious, and turned to look at Jiroji Suzuki, who was speechless: "Uncle!"

"Hmm......" Jiroyoshi Suzuki was still patient.

"Advisor, can we activate that agency?!" Seeing Kidd get closer and closer to the gem, the staff finally couldn't bear it anymore.

“...... No way. After a long silence, Jiroyoshi Suzuki finally conceded defeat and gave an order for the staff to activate the mechanism and replace the real gem with a fake.

At the same time, Kidd's progress finally stopped.

On the "hey, hey......" screen, Kidd's smile was so obvious and full of pride that the staff in the monitoring car gritted their teeth.

"Alright, that's all for the rehearsal, we'll see you in the same place at twenty o'clock tomorrow night!" After saying this, only a violent explosion was heard, and after a puff of smoke, the incomparable figure of Kidd, who had been stagnant in mid-air, was gone.

In the first round of the contest, Jiroyoshi Suzuki > Ginzo Nakamori & Conan - completely defeated. Of course, I should be counted as well.

......

“...... That's probably the way the surveillance is going, when you move tomorrow, if you don't want to be caught by cameras in any direction, just tell me, I'll swap their surveillance footage, and if it really doesn't work, it doesn't matter if you just sneak into the museum and walk on the roof, I promise that no camera will see you. Not long after the "rehearsal" was over, Kaito called me, and I avoided the people in the house and stood outside the door to tell him about my findings on the phone.

"Oh, thank you, but in that case, wouldn't it be impossible to show my peerless demeanor as the thief Kidd, so anyway, I'll still perform like I did tomorrow, but if I accidentally mess up or get messed up by your lovely brother, then it's up to you to save my life. There was a hearty laugh from the phone.

"You guy......" I said helplessly. This guy is too fun-loving, always adventurous, but it doesn't matter, I'll help him anyway.

If it weren't for this playful childlike innocence and adventurous spirit, there would not be such a number one person in this world, "Kidd the Strange Thief...... When I think of this, I can't help but feel a little relieved.

"Now, how was the magic trick this time? Surprised, didn't you? Did you see the trick?" asked me with a grin on the phone.

"I was really shocked," I sighed and said, "I didn't see the trick at all, how did you do it, you didn't find the rope up and down, left and right? How is this possible? Have you become a Buddha?"

"Go, you've become a Buddha," even over the phone, I could imagine Kaidou rolling his eyes: "I won't tell you why, if you want to know, just check it yourself, don't you have a detective by your side." ”

"Yes, this detective just found out about our relationship, it's really tight, you better be careful. I looked at the people in the room who were discussing the incident and smiled bitterly.

"What?!He knew we met?!" Kuaito's voice suddenly became nervous!

"No, it's barely prevaricating. "Thinking of the scene where Xiaolan was fighting to protect me like an old hen who only protects her short time, I can't help but feel even more ashamed in my heart, and the guilt keeps breeding. Alas, I am really guilty of deceiving such a pure Xiaolan.

"Whew~~ That's good. Hearing my words, Kaito breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, Conan is probably not easy to fool, it seems that he still doubts that I know you, and I will have to find a way to make a scene in the future. "As soon as I probed, Conan turned his head with unusually sharp eyes, and almost met my eyes!

"Ahhh!!h

"Anyway, you should ask for a lot of blessings, and I advise you that it would be better to go another way tomorrow, and I think you should understand that as a qualified magician, you should not violate the three principles of Saxon. I said lightly.

"Yes, yes, I know, you can't do the same magic trick twice. I'll pay attention. Kaito said helplessly.

"Well, so be it, if I call too long, Conan will be suspicious. With a whisper, I hung up.

"Hey, who were you calling?" Conan leaned over to me as soon as I entered the room.

"Oh, just ask Xiao Ai what she's doing now. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. ”

"I don't know what method he used to walk in the air," I noticed when Jiroyoshi Suzuki's characteristic high-pitched voice caught my attention, and I saw him pacing back and forth as he said, "As long as he swaggers around, grab him and write the last chapter of my autobiography!"

Poof~~!What an energetic old man!

"Uhh

It made us nervous for some moment, thinking that this old man had suddenly fallen ill or something.

"No, don't move! don't move!!" cried the old man in unusually panic.

As a result, the frightened crowd had to maintain their movements before screaming, and they looked as if they were puppeteers, which was extremely funny.

"What's wrong?" Officer Nakamori asked cautiously.

"If you dare to move, don't try to appear in front of me!" cried the old man, as if he were looking for something everywhere: "Where, where?

Uncle Maori maintained his stiff movements motionless, his expression was extremely painful, and he looked like he was constipated, which made me look at it and secretly amused.

At this moment, the old man's "handsome dog" named Lupin, who was wearing a hard hat and windscreens, barked wildly, ran to my side, and was about to bite my leg!

I looked at the menacing dog and couldn't help but frown!

"Woo~~" As if he had suddenly suffered some blow, Lu Bang, who was still alive just now, suddenly whined and picked up his tail and ran towards the old man, hiding behind the old man, lying on the ground, not daring to get up.

Then they turned their amazed eyes to me.

I smiled awkwardly and had to pretend to be stupid.

"Xiaohui, did you step on something?" At this time, Xiaolan's words relieved me.

I looked up and saw a small piece of contact lens glistening under my feet.

"Ah, it's here!" Seeing the contact lenses, Jiroyoshi Suzuki couldn't help but cry out in surprise, and hurriedly squatted down to pick up the glasses.

"Contact lenses?"

"Uncle Jiro, do you have bad eyes?" asked the old man suspiciously.

"I'm seventy-two years old, and all parts of my body don't obey me......," said the old man, a little melancholy.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was full of black lines. This one speaks. An old man with a red face buzzing all over the room would actually recognize him? Anyway, no one would treat him as an old man, right? Even young people in their twenties rarely have such spirit......

After some commotion, everyone left, and just as I was about to go out with him, Jiroyoshi Suzuki suddenly stopped me.

"Children, you're not simple......" is completely different from the nonsense just now, the current Suzuki Jiroji is full of shrewdness, looking at me with an unusually deep look, and only at this time will he remind people of his identity - the general counsel of Suzuki Group!

"I don't know what you're talking about, old man," I said, pretending to be naïve.

"It's nothing, you just take me as if I'm talking nonsense, hahaha......" Seeing that I was pretending to be stupid, Suzuki Jiroji didn't say anything, touched his bare head and started laughing!
