43 The Red-Faced Mermaid
"I really can't help it."
Gao Yuan said helplessly.
"Huh?"
Koizumi Hongzi's expression changed slightly, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
"Well...... Let me think...... Find him first. ”
Gao Yuan thought and said, "I think he should already be on the scene." ”
With that, Gao Yuan left the crowd and began to look around at the police deployment at the scene.
In the air, there are helicopter units circling; On the road around the clock tower, there are constantly patrol cars driving back and forth; Outside the museum where the clock tower is located, there are many police officers on duty, and the police deployment in the museum is obviously in place.
Koizumi Hongzi followed and asked, "How do you want to find him?" ”
Faced with this situation, Gao Yuan didn't know what to say for a while, after all, he had seen the original work and knew that Black Feather Kaito had first borrowed the identity of a police officer driving a patrol car and blended into the Clock Tower Pavilion.
But how to explain this kind of thing!
"Come to think of it, now that the clock tower is completely surrounded by police inside and out, and helicopters patrol in the sky, what can Kidd do if he wants to get to the clock?"
Takato began to forcibly explain, "Because of the presence of helicopters, his usual glider is useless. Then there is only one way I can think of, disguise yourself as a police officer and infiltrate the museum. ”
Saying that, Gao Yuan felt that this logic seemed to be credible, so he continued: "But there are too many police forces deployed inside and outside the museum, and they are all acting in piles, and each policeman is also under the noses of other policemen, and it is too difficult to find a disguise from them. Then, it is better to start with the patrol car on the street, after all, because of the road, the patrol car will be left alone in the process of driving. ”
As he spoke, Gao Yuan took out his mobile phone and called up a map of the nearby area, looking to check the roads nearby.
Because Gao Yuan remembered a detail in the original work, after Kidd disguised himself as a policeman driving a patrol car, he tied the policeman himself directly to the back seat of the vehicle, and then put on Kidd's top hat and ran to the police officer in front of the museum, saying that he saw a person suspected of Kidd.
Obviously, the parking location of the car at that time was not far from the pavilion where the clock tower was located, and it was in the middle of nowhere.
So, after finding a path that meets the requirements, Gao Yuan decided to go over and wait for the rabbit. And at about half past eleven, Gao Yuan, who was guarding the secluded part of the path, finally waited for a patrol car to stop here.
"Twenty-eight minutes and thirty seconds left before the teaser. Then, as soon as Quanshui Yang, who lives in Jianggutian and is 27 years old and single, inspects, your name and face can be borrowed from me! ”
Sitting in the patrol car, Kidd finished his disguise and said.
However, the sudden sound of knocking on the window startled him, and he had already thought of various situations for a while and was ready to fight back. It's just that after seeing that the person outside the window was Gao Yuan, Kidd still froze.
"What's the matter?"
With the inspector's face on his face, Kidd rolled down the window as if nothing had happened.
Takato tossed him the small box of air cushions he had received from Dr. Asasa the size of a poker.
"Press the button on it and it only takes a few seconds for this thing to expand into an air cushion. If you're desperate at the end of the day, jump in! Kuroba-san. ”
Gao Yuan smiled, turned around and left, leaving only Kidd who didn't know why was still stunned in the car for a while, but in the end, Kidd still brought the air cushion with him.
Back in front of the clock tower, Takato began to wait and see how things would develop.
It was at this moment that another helicopter flew from a distance, and Koizumi Hongzi walked to Gao Yuan's side and looked at the helicopter with a solemn expression.
"It's coming. Exuding an aura as clear and powerful as Black Feather, as cunning and agile as a demon, and with a pair of discerning eyes, who is he sacred? ”
Listening to Koizumi Hongzi's words, Takato knew the answer, but he could only be silent - it was my neighbor, Kudo Shinichi.
Then, just as Takato knew, at midnight the clock tower would come up with smoke, and when the smoke cleared, the hands on the dial disappeared.
However, during the rise of the smoke, a curtain is used to cover the dial of the clock and project the dial into the appearance.
After that, Kudo Shinichi's helicopter approached the clock tower, and then, Kudo Shinichi used Officer Dusk's pistol to break the rope that tied the curtain, completely exposing the existence of the curtain to the onlookers.
And the helicopter that got too close also blocked Kidd's way to escape with a glider, and in desperation, Kidd thought of Gao Yuan's words, although he was a little reluctant, but this was indeed a desperate last choice!
So, Kidd took the initiative to break the rope of the curtain and let himself fall into the crowd with the curtain, and the portable air cushion given by Gao Yuan did give the most important guarantee for this bold technique.
Seeing that Kidd had escaped without danger in the end, Koizumi Hongzi finally breathed a sigh of relief, while Takato turned his gaze to Nakamori Aoko's side, and sure enough, Kuroba Kaito appeared there.
This incident was originally done by Black Feather Kaito to protect the clock tower from being moved, and it also exposed the boss of the clock tower and secretly replaced the gems on the hands of the clock tower.
And here, it's also the place where the two childhood sweethearts, Black Feather Kaito and Nakamori Aoko, first met.
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan smiled helplessly - Black Feather Kuaidou, this time you owe me a favor.
However, it was still too late today, so after Takato said goodbye to Koizumi Hongzi, he went home first.
The next day, Takato receives an email from Kuroba Kaito, asking him to come to a billiards bar called "Blue Parrot". For this name, Takato has an impression, it seems to be a shop opened by the assistant of the strange thief Kidd, Terai Huangnosuke.
Coming to the door of the "Blue Parrot", Takato saw Kuroba Kaito and Terai Huangnosuke waiting there, and there was no customer in the store at this time.
"Wise Detective, thank you so much for helping Master Kuaito yesterday."
Seeing Takato's arrival, Terai Huangnosuke expressed his gratitude to Takato after a simple greeting, while the Black Feather Kaito on the side looked displeased.
"I said, you guessed in advance that I could only jump off the building and escape, could it be that you were the one who helped those police officers last night!"
"Misunderstanding. I just listened to Koizumi Hongzi and made some preparations in advance. ”
Gao Yuan explained, and then changed the conversation, "But you actually took the initiative to call me over, it should be something else, right?" ”
In this regard, Kuroba Kaito glanced at Terai Huangnosuke and motioned for him to explain.
"Mr. Wise, do you know the 'Red-Faced Mermaid'?"
Kanosuke Terai asked.
Gao Yuan has some impressions of this name, which seems to be a gem that appeared in the original.
"I've heard of it, it's a ruby."
Seeing that Takato's words were not polite, Terai Huangnosuke nodded and continued.
"Yes. The owner of this ruby is a well-known Italian actress. But not long ago, the actress was shipwrecked while on a cruise ship, and unfortunately died, and the 'red-faced mermaid' disappeared. ”
Hearing this, Takato frowned, because Takato remembered that in the original work, it seemed that this gem finally came into the hands of the one who was bent on separating himself from the monster thief Kidd, Jiroji Suzuki.
"However, recently, in the gem circle, there was a rumor that a fisherman found this 'red-faced mermaid' at sea."
Kanosuke Terai continued.
"I don't know if this news is true or not. However, the site of the shipwreck is not far from Wakasa Bay, and after analyzing this rumor with Grandpa Terai, I believe that if a fisherman really found this gem at sea, then it is very likely that this fisherman must be a fisherman living in the area of Wakasa Bay. ”
Black Feather Kaito said.
"And in that area, the most likely place, is that - American Island!"
