Chapter Ninety-Nine: Prophecy
On the evening of October 12, Kidd's drama finally came to the official stage. There were more people at the scene than yesterday. We were accompanied by the garden and walked towards the museum together.
"There really are so many helicopters......" Navigating through the crowd with difficulty, Xiaolan looked at the dense crowd around her and said while babbling.
"Compared to this, there are more people watching the excitement, so it's just a matter of blocking here. Uncle Maori said with boredom.
"It was Burbert who put it in, because there needs to be an audience in the picture of Kidd's arrest. Yuan Zi replied with a smile.
Speaking of which, the promotional video of this museum is also made with aerial photography, damn rich people...... As I followed the crowd, I secretly resented in my heart, and Conan's expression was the same as mine, so he must have thought of the same thing.
"But it's too tiring to wait for Kidd in the midst of these crowds, right?" Xiaolan looked back and forth at the bustling crowd, her face embarrassed. Also, although it's autumn now, so many people are crowded together, and the atmosphere is so hot, after a while, you will sweat profusely, and the girl's house is always a little unaccustomed.
"It's okay, Sister Xiaolan," I smiled and raised my head to Xiaolan and said, "Don't forget, the garden is the eldest lady of the Suzuki family, and she will definitely give us special care." β
The garden wrinkled every day, bent down and stretched out his hand to pull my face, and pulled it up to both sides: "Call ~sister~~sister~~!"
"Yes, yes~~Garden, Sister Garden~~ Don't pull it!It hurts~~!" It's not lying, it's really painful, and it's so painful that my tears are about to fall. This woman in the garden is really terrifying......
"Yuanzi, is what Xiaohui said true?" Xiaolan asked Yuanzi.
"Ah, that's right, we have a 'VIP seat' prepared in advance!" Hearing Xiaolan's words, Yuan Zi stopped what he was doing, raised his head and smiled at Xiaolan, I took advantage of the time to quickly pull out and hide behind Xiaolan.
"That's great, thank you Oh Yuanzi, Xiaohui, you're really ~!" Xiaolan thanked Yuanzi while looking at me with a smile on her back.
"Miss Garden, we've been waiting for a long time. The garden led us all the way to the roof of the building on the side of the road, where a waiter was already waiting, and not far away there were tables and chairs, giving the impression of a high-end restaurant waiting for guests to be seated. The only thing that's a bit of a pity is that helicopters are swimming back and forth all around, and it's very noisy.
There was also a monitor on the table, presumably to watch media reports.
"Thank you. The garden said nonchalantly, and led us to the table and chairs.
"What drink do you need?" asked the waiter, bowing respectfully to the garden, when everyone was ready.
"Whatever. β
The current garden is very different from the usual grinning image, between a gesture, full of elegant and generous temperament, only at this time, will people feel that she is a real daughter.
"But on the top of the building where Kidd had been, there was no one but the guards. Uncle Maori looked around.
Ran happily chatted and laughed with the garden while waiting for Kidd to arrive, while Conan didn't say a word, frowning and sitting there thinking about something.
"Hey, what's up, you've been thinking about it all day, do you have any ideas? Do you know what Kidd did yesterday?" I asked Conan in a low voice as I poked Conan in my elbow. Although I thought about it all night after I went back yesterday, I didn't have a clue at all, so I simply didn't think about it, anyway, with Conan, a high-IQ guy, what else am I worried about? I figured this out, and I washed up and fell asleep early, but seeing Conan's lack of energy this morning, I couldn't help but secretly laugh, this kid probably had insomnia last night......
"No," Conan rolled his eyes at me, "I won't tell you, what if you tell Kidd, you bone." β
"Hey, I told you I don't know Kidd anymore......" I said helplessly.
"Hmph, you're a ghost!" Conan looked "unbelieving": "If there were no ghosts between you, would you cry and shout and hug Officer Nakamori's thigh? Kidd would deliberately disguise himself to bring you out of the police surrounding? Don't think I'm going to be deceived by your appearance like everyone else." β
β...... Yes, if you only look at the surface, no one can imagine that I am an unforgivable sinner, right?" I said for a moment, and with some gloom.
"Hey, you know I didn't mean that! Besides, your matter, as long as you find a way, you will definitely be able to solve it!" Seeing my expression like that, Conan immediately panicked.
"Solve it, it's easy to say, how to solve it?No one will believe the words of a murderer, right?" I laughed self-deprecatingly, "You don't even believe me when I say I don't know Kidd, let alone anyone else......"
"I believe it! I don't believe it! I really didn't understand Kidd's methods, otherwise I would have told you! But you, believe me! I'll definitely find a way to deal with your affairs! You must believe me!" Conan's tone became more urgent.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
"Alas...... Well, let's be a dead horse doctor......" I sighed and said.
Sample, see if you still don't take the bait......
"Ahh Suddenly, a strong wind blew Xiaolan's hat away, causing Xiaolan to scream softly.
"I'll pick it up. Conan laughed and chased in the direction of the hat.
I'm looking at the gloomy weather, and I'm a little drumming in my heart, it's not going to rain tonight, right?
Anyway, last night, Kuaidou's posture standing under the moon was really handsome, and one day I'm going to make a cloak to play with, I don't know if I can fascinate Xiao Ai...... Ah, no, Xiao Ai is not a girl like Yuanzi...... I kept thinking about it.
Conan soon came back with Xiaolan's hat, but his expression changed, from frowning to slightly curled at the corners of his mouth, and he looked like he was holding a wisdom bead. Maybe even the old brother himself didn't notice it, every time he found the clues of the case, he would show this expression, that dragged confident smile, full of charm.
"Hey, do you think of anything?" I asked Conan again after Conan returned the hat to Ran.
"Well, there's two very new scratches on the fence over there, probably from Kidd last night, I think I know what he does. Conan said with a smile.
"Scratches?" I frowned, "Didn't you say yesterday that you didn't find a rope?"
"Maybe we were all wrong, we all made a mistake and fell into the trap set by Kidd from the start. Speaking of this, Conan smiled confidently: "This time, I will definitely not let him escape again!"
"What the hell are you going to do in the first place?, why don't I understand what you mean?" I wondered.
"It's okay, I'll tell you when I catch that guy from Kidd. β
"You're still doubting my relationship with Kidd?"
"It's okay, just let me sell it first, and I'll definitely explain it to you afterwards. Conan smiled slightly, but refused to reveal any more words.
"Cut. I pursed my lips, said no more, and secretly put the phone back in my hand.
"Look at the number of these helicopters that cover the sky!And then there's the countless guards stationed around here!These are the elite troops gathered under the prestige of the Suzuki Foundation!Will he really come in such a garrison?!The monster thief Kidd who is going to steal the 'Miracle of the Sea' on the roof of the Suzuki Grand Museum!!" On the screen, the reporter spat impassionedly at the camera!
"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming!'s going to come!" said Yuan Yuan, who was staring at the screen, looked excited
"It doesn't sound like the words of the lady of the Suzuki Foundation who was stolen from the gems!" Uncle Mori reminded Sonoko's position.
"But, that's Kidd the Strange Thief! I really want to see him directly! Even once!" said Sonoko with a expression, "Actually, I was supposed to sit on the roof with the jeweled statue of the goddess in my arms and wait, but Uncle Jiro didn't allow ......."
......Hearing this, the people around him all sighed deeply.
"You don't want to be stolen along with the gems, do you?" said Lan with a look of "defeated by you".
Who knew that Yuanzi immediately said: "Yes, yes, if I am captured, Ah Zhen will definitely come to save me." Ahh
Xiaolan: "......"
This guy is hopeless......
I, like everyone else, also have a black line on my face: Is this really the eldest lady of the chaebol? It can't be a mistake, right? The moment when the garden looked like the eldest lady just now must be an illusion......
"But then again, it's understandable that there would be such an extraordinary vigilance," Uncle Maori turned his head to look at the helicopter flying around him, and said, "First the preview of last night, and then the air next to this building, and then the big monster thief who walked in the air like this to approach the museum, and then suddenly disappeared, in order to catch ......him."
"Really, it looks like it's walking on the air without any equipment. Xiaolan also echoed.
"The equipment is still there," Conan suddenly interjected, and said with an unusually innocent and cute look, "because if people could walk in the air so easily, the birds would be amazed, wouldn't they?"
"Poof!" I almost squirted the drink out of my mouth! This guy is even more disgusting and shameless than me!
"Little, little bird......" The garden looked at the innocent Conan speechlessly.
"Aha, Conan said so cute!" Xiaolan smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed.
"Hmph! The imp and the bird were intimidated by Kidd's magic, right?" Uncle Maori raised an eyebrow in displeasure.
"I don't know this yet, but I may have found traces left by those devices!" Conan said, pointing to the place where he had picked up his hat, "Look, it's the scratch on the wall there, it looks like something has scratched it, and it's still very new, so maybe it's the ...... left by Kidd."
After listening to Conan's words, the expressions of everyone who didn't care much turned serious, and the garden immediately called the security personnel and asked them to check if there were the same scratches on the other building, because if there were the same scratches on that side and this side, it would prove that Kidd had once erected a horizontal rope between the two buildings.
As expected, there were indeed the same traces on the other side as here.
Next, they couldn't help but speculate about the purpose of the scratches, but these speculations were soon overturned because they were impossible, and Uncle Maori even wondered if Kidd had somehow erected tempered glass between the two buildings to make it possible to walk in the air, because people have preconceived notions that once they think something can't exist, even if that thing exists, they will not be able to see because of this idea.
Of course, such a ridiculous thing as setting up glass was ruthlessly refuted by Xiaolan and Yuanzi, but the word "preconceived" in Uncle Maori's words seemed to give Conan a lot of inspiration, so that Conan's eyes lit up and he began to think again.
At the same time, in the media reports, the protagonist of the incident, Jiroji Suzuki, finally arrived at the scene, everything was ready, just waiting for Kidd's appearance.
"Ah, Lord Kidd, come on, come and steal my fiery heart!"
"Even in such a loud noise, the wind is very strong......" Xiaolan looked around.
Conan was stunned for a while to watch the reporter's interview with Jiroji Suzuki on the monitor, suddenly jumped out of his chair, and said to Xiaolan as he ran: "I'll go to Uncle Jiroji's! Because I found something funny!"
"What? Fun stuff?"
"Secret ......" As he spoke, Conan had already run away.
"Wait! I'm going too!" I jumped down and chased after Conan!
Just kidding! How could you let you go alone! If you did catch Kaito, wouldn't it be bad? I'm not sure Kaito will be able to get out from under his brother's hands.
Conan ran too fast, and in a blink of an eye, Conan disappeared, and I asked a lot of people before I finally found Conan in the surveillance car.
When I found Conan, he was begging the staff there for last night's tape under the guise of Uncle Maori to watch it again, but unfortunately the tape had already been sent away to make Jiroyoshi Suzuki's rotation movie. Although Jiroyoshi Suzuki was also monitoring the car, it was strange that I didn't see the dog named "Lupin" this time, and I don't know if Jiroyoshi Suzuki didn't bring it or if there was something wrong with the dog itself.
Then, Officer Nakamori also rushed to the surveillance car and laughed with Jiroyoshi Suzuki, who was also there. Everyone didn't understand why Kidd had to play a rehearsal last night, after all, after that rehearsal, if he performed the same thing again today, there was a high chance that he would be debunked. I'm also puzzled, but I know Kaito, as I said to Kaito yesterday, a qualified magician will not violate the Three Principles of Saxon, and I think Kaito understands this better than anyone else, so I believe that Kaito must have his own reasons for doing this, maybe he wants to attract everyone's attention through this move, so as to achieve the effect of the golden cicada out of its shell.
Wait, the golden cicada is out of its shell? A flash of inspiration occurred in my mind, and I seemed to think of something, but I couldn't understand it.
"Well, there is only one minute left until the trailer," the surveillance screen once again showed the footage of the report: "The Kidd fans gathered there have begun the countdown, let's look forward to this miraculous moment......
"Hmph! There is no magician who gathers the guests on the stage before the show, because the magic tricks will be tricky, and the guy dialect says that there will be a night in the air in these buildings, and all eyes will be on here, and the helicopter is hanging in the wind so strong, it is impossible to fly in the air with a glider, it is impossible, it will appear there! Of course, if he is a tengu or a god, it is a different matter. Jiroji Suzuki stared at the picture on the screen and said word by word.
As soon as Jiroyoshi Suzuki's words fell, as if sarcastic, after a puff of smoke, Kidd stood in the same position above the void as yesterday in the same way as yesterday! Although there was no moonlight this time, the proud smile on Kidd's face was still so dazzling when he looked down at everyone!
Everyone was stunned.
Alas, it's too boring to watch here, so let's go to the scene and watch the live-action version. Unable to stand the solemn atmosphere in the surveillance car, I pouted and walked out into the street alone, which was already crowded with a frenzied crowd.
"Kidd! Kidd!"
"Ahββββ!! Lord Kidd!! I love you!!"
Countless fans screaming loudly with signs supporting Kidd, and with the noise of helicopters, I could barely hear anything else in my ears.
The wind became stronger and stronger, and in the midst of the strong wind, light rain began to come unexpectedly, but as if the wind helped the fire, the enthusiasm of the masses was like encountering a fire of gasoline, and the rain not only could not be extinguished, but rose more and more.
Amid the commotion of the crowd, Kidd slowly began his movements, moving in the predetermined direction step by step, walking through the void as if it were yesterday.
"Ahhhhh
Kidd must have a back-up move. I looked up at Kidd's steady progress, and I was convinced.
Kidd was getting closer and closer to the gem, and the crowd was getting more and more excited, at this moment, the mobile phone in my pocket suddenly vibrate, I took out the phone and saw that it was actually Kuaidou's number!
Maybe he recorded it beforehand. Giving myself a reason, I answered the phone.
"Hey, it's me," Kaito's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Can you help me kill a few cameras from the Suzuki Foundation's helicopters?" β
"No problem, do you have any more to ask for?" I said lightly.
"Nothing else, anything else, I'll call you again if I have something. After saying a word hurriedly, the phone was hung up by Kuaidou.
I shook my head, smiled, put my phone away, and pulled out a small remote-like thing from my pocket, with some numbered buttons on it. Yesterday my monitoring car was not idle, while everyone was not paying attention, I made a small backdoor system on the control system of the monitor, and after returning at night, I modified the program through network intrusion, so to speak, the current Suzuki consortium monitoring system, completely in my control.
I casually pressed the button a few times, and at the same time looked up at the reaction in the sky, and several helicopters that had been following Kidd's figure immediately stopped moving, and it was obvious that there was a waver. I couldn't help but smile slightly, it's done.
The rest, it's up to Kuaidou himself.
"Why are you here?!" Just as I admired Kidd's graceful form, a discordant voice appeared behind me.
I turned my head to see Koizumi Hongko, dressed in a sailor suit, looking at me with a flushed face. Don't get me wrong, the reason why she blushes is entirely because of anger.
"I should have warned you!Don't come near us!Especially Kaito!!" Koizumi Hongko shouted at me in an almost screaming voice, "Do you have to kill us to be willing?!!
"Oh, you're here too, don't get excited," I said indifferently, "I'm just here to watch a magic show, I don't want to do anything, and although I don't know why you're so sure that I'm going to bring you bad luck, I don't think I'm going to take the initiative to harm you." β
"Hmph, who knows, it's a black sinner after all!"
"Well, if you have to say that, then I can't help it. I shrugged and smiled helplessly.
"Hmph, don't be complacent, your good days are coming to an end!" said Koizumi Hongzi looked at me disdainfully.
"Oh, have you snared anything interesting again?" I looked at Koizumi with interest.
"I won't tell you!Anyway, I've told Kaidou to stay away from you, and I hope you can be a little more conscious, if you really want Kaito to be good. After saying that, Koizumi Hongzi squeezed into the crowd without looking back and disappeared.
Oh? It turned out that Koizumi Hongzi had foreseen something again? Listening to her tone, she should have already told Kaito the content of the prophecy. Looks like I should talk to Kaito when I get a chance. This guy has only been seen for a while, and he has already hidden something from me.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard a "bang" in mid-air, and Kidd's figure still disappeared!
I looked at the empty sky: but he had never even been near the museum, how did he do it? Could it be that the one he had just done was a dummy?
After a while, my phone vibrated again, and when I looked, it was another fast fight.
Hey, boy, are you in trouble again so soon? I was amused enough to answer the phone, but Conan's voice came from inside!
"What's so ridiculous? Mr. Kidd?"
I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart! Conan actually found Kaito! Kaito must have secretly dialed my phone and asked me for help in this way, so that I could find a way to help him get out!
I suddenly became anxious, I had to find a way to help Kaito get out! What should I do?! I don't even know where Kaito is!
Just when I was in a hurry, the voice of Jiroyoshi Suzuki came over the phone: "What are you talking about? I laughed at the fact that I finally kept the gem from Kidd!"
It turns out that Kaito has become the old man of Suzuki Jiroyoshi, no wonder he didn't follow the dog today.
Knowing Kuaidou's pretended identity, it is much easier to find Kuaidou, after all, that kind of motorcycle is the only one in the world.
I stopped a taxi, pointed the driver in a direction and started chasing, and if Kaito had succeeded, he would have walked south along the road and then returned to the villa.
Then, in the taxi, I stared at the car in front of me while listening to Conan's reasoning on the phone.
After listening to Conan's reasoning, I realized that the pilot of the No. 7 helicopter that parked over Kidd was Kidd's man from the beginning! HachisΕ was Terai Huangnosuke, and the rest of the matter was logical, and it was precisely because of the existence of that helicopter that we had a preconceived idea that there was no rope above Kidd, so we ignored the traces of ropes on the buildings on both sides. In fact, Kidd only cooperated to make a walking appearance, and his body was constantly hoisted by the helicopter above.
That's why Conan said to me that we had already fallen into Conan's trap in the first place...... It wasn't until this moment that it dawned on me. Conan, who said this to me, probably already had a premonition at that time.
A short time later, I saw Jiroyoshi Suzuki's motorcycle running in front of me, and at this moment, the passenger seat of the motorcycle where Conan and the Golden Statue were located suddenly detached from the main body of the motorcycle, and a fierce spark rubbed against the ground!
Conan, who was in a hurry, was so busy maintaining the balance of the passenger seat that he was no longer able to catch up with Kaito!
What, isn't this quite capable without me? I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But before I could take a breath, there was a situation on Kuaidou's side again!
I saw a line of fire quickly burning towards the motorcycle that Kaito was riding at a speed visible to the naked eye!
It turned out that the fuel tank of the motorcycle began to leak at some point, and the spark caused by the friction between the passenger seat and the ground when Conan was out of the main body of the motorcycle just ignited the gasoline dripping on the ground on the motorcycle!
When I found Kaito, he was lying in the grass under the road because he had jumped out of the car.
"Yo, good job!" I crouched down and laughed as I watched Kaito get blackened and embarrassed.
"What! I called you for help, but you arrived so late!"
"That can't be helped, who made you get up and run so fast, and use the acceleration system. I shrugged my shoulders and said irresponsibly.
"It's really unlucky, both brothers are such nasty personalities, how could I have a relationship with you. Kaito muttered dissatisfied.
Kaito's words made my heart move, and I couldn't help but ask Kaito in a deep voice, "Now, Kaito, that woman named Koizumi Hongzi did divination for me again, right?"
Kuaidou was stunned for a moment, and then pretended to smirk and said, "What are you talking about, hahaha......"
"Don't hide it, I know it all. I met that woman just now. β
Hearing my words, Kaito fell silent.
"Tell me. β
"Do you really want to know?" Kaito put away his playful expression and began to become serious.
"Hmm. I nodded affirmatively.
β...... Black sinners will eventually return to the embrace of the night. This is her divination. Kaito stood up with his back to me, so I couldn't read his expression.
"Do it yourself. Kuaito said a word and left without looking back.
"Black sinners will eventually return to the embrace of the night...... "Looking at Kuaito's back, the corners of my mouth curled slightly: "Interesting." β
