Chapter 128 Revenge of the Crystal Ball
Boom!

Click!

Under the thunderous sky, a witch's house located in the forest outside Tokyo glowed with a gloomy dark red light.

Taking the perspective a step further, in the taboo secret room decorated with various ancient Egyptian characteristic murals, a girl in a dark red cloak stands quietly in front of the pedestal, above which hangs an azure blue crystal ball that glows for no reason.

"Magic crystal ball!"

"Answer me! Who is the most beautiful person in the world?"

The girl asked an ambitious question, and the crystal ball immediately answered with a shrill voice.

"Of course it's Miss Hongzi! The most beautiful person in the world is you."

"All the men in the world will be your captives"

"But except Kaitou Kid"

The handsome face of Kaito Kidd suddenly appeared in the crystal ball like a liquid crystal display, and the girl immediately grabbed the crystal ball angrily.

"It's Kuroba Kaito again!"

"Speak! When shall I make him my prisoner?"

The crystal ball continued to answer: "Please, please calm down, it will be successful soon!"

"Really?"

The girl changed her face faster than turning the pages of a book, and immediately turned from anger to joy.

Crystal Ball: "Fake."

"Even if you are an outstanding witch, Miss Hongzi, this matter is impossible."

"Oh~ wait! wait!"

Cold sweat broke out unscientifically on the surface of the crystal ball, because the angry girl had already raised the gavel in both hands and pointed it at herself. If she didn't explain herself, she might really be wiped out.

"Because that man is about to disappear from your presence!"

As he said that, a picture appeared in the crystal ball again.

The Kaitou Kidd in the picture looks embarrassed, his hands are bound by handcuffs, and behind Kidd, a figure slowly emerges.

This person was wearing a brown windbreaker, and his mixed-race face didn't look very young, but he also had the unique temperament of a mature man.

"Who is this person?" the girl asked suspiciously.

"This man is about to get Kidd, on a big boat"

Big ship
The girl recalled the news she saw in the morning, which said that Kidd's first notice of stealing the Dark Star ended in failure, but he released a second notice letter immediately.

The location was on board the Sabunis cruise ship celebrating the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Suzuki Foundation.

"Kidd must be my prisoner!"

After finishing speaking, the girl aggressively shook the cloak behind her, turned and walked out of the secret room.

After a long time, in the supposedly dark space of the secret room, the suspended crystal ball still glowed with azure blue light while talking to itself.

"Hey hey~ Miss Hongzi, you've been fooled."

"This is your revenge for smashing my shelter last time."

The spirit body in the crystal ball once again recalled the big mirror where it lived before, and it was also called the "magic mirror" at that time.

Both the crystal ball and the magic mirror itself have no magical power, and they must be inhabited by spirits to function.

Although it is a spirit body, it is also the same as a human being, the larger the living space, the better.

As a result, last time because of a small mistake in the prediction, Miss Hongzi smashed her big house and replaced it with a small crystal ball that can only be used for dwelling in a small house.

So the crystal ball takes revenge!
At the same time, on the screen in the crystal ball, a new figure appeared next to the embarrassed Kaitou Kidd.

The figure gradually became clear, it was the girl named "Hongzi".

Just as embarrassed as Kaitou Kidd, in the picture, the two look dejected, one on the left and the other on the right, which looks quite like a husband and wife.

And standing behind him was still the unknown mixed-race uncle.

The day on the notice letter came in a blink of an eye.

Qin Zhibo, as a member of the Special Operations Group (hereinafter referred to as: the "Fighting Group") against the crime of Kaito Kidd, was invited to the cruise ship Shabunis.

The leader of the foundation team is naturally the police, and the police representatives are Shintaro Chaki and Ginzo Nakamori, and the relationship between the two is superior and inferior.

However, Nakamori Ginzo is richer in terms of foundation experience.

Although repeated battles and repeated defeats, repeated defeats and repeated battles, some experience has also been summed up.

For example, he was the only one among the police who first understood Kidd's notice letter last time.

The representatives of private detectives are two private detectives, Mori Kogoro and Qin Zhibo.

Before the cruise ship opened, Nakamori Ginzo strongly demanded to stop the activity immediately, so that Kaitou Kidd had nothing to steal.

However, Chaki Shintaro, who had a good view of the overall situation, directly rejected Nakamori Ginzo's proposal.

At this time, the Maoli family and Qin Zhibo also came to the cruise ship.

Seeing Nakamori Ginzo yelling at the port, several black lines appeared on Mori Kogoro's forehead.

I don't know why, but seeing this man makes me feel uncomfortable from the bottom of my heart.
Ginzo Nakamori, who was a little annoyed just because his proposal was rejected, also turned his head and saw Kogoro Mori.

I don't know why, but seeing this man makes me feel uncomfortable from the bottom of my heart.
Both of them had the same idea, so
"You guys aren't pretending to be Phantom Thief Kidd, are you? Why do you look so much like me?"

Nakamori Ginzo took the lead, and Mori Kogoro was not to be outdone.

"Hey, I think you are the Kaitou Kidd in disguise, how dare you yell at your boss?"

Kogoro Mori, a veteran in the workplace who knows how to please his superiors best, refuted this.

The person next to him was about to come up to dissuade him, but the two of them raised their hands to grab each other's face at the same time.

"You guy *definitely is #KaitoKidd"

"You @are~ Kidd!"

"Take off your fake face!"

"You are!"

The two pinched each other's faces for more than ten seconds, and finally let go of their hands with disbelief under the dissuasion of everyone, and had to admit that neither of them was Kaitou Kidd pretending to be.

During this period, Qin Zhibo silently stood behind and watched and ate melons as if he had foreseen all this.

After the Maoli family left, Qin Zhibo approached Nakamori Ginzo and asked, "Actually, I'm a little interested in the mysterious man in red that appeared at the last mainland dynasty exhibition. Can you tell me something?"

After a little thought, Nakamori Ginzo said: "I didn't know what happened at the time, I didn't see his face clearly, and I didn't hear what he said clearly."

"But I heard his footsteps approaching me from behind, as if he were wearing high heels."

High heel.
Qin Zhibo nodded thoughtfully, then climbed the stairs leading to the cruise ship.

But Nakamori Ginzo was stunned.

Why should I tell him this?

And how did he know that I met the man in red?This matter has not been announced to the outside world.

At the same time, the employees of the cruise ship are on the boarding channel.

A man who couldn't conceal his charm even though he was wearing a loose employee uniform was looking at Qin Zhibo in the opposite passage from a distance.

No matter who you are, Kaito Kidd can only be my prisoner!

And Qin Zhibo, who was walking on the passenger aisle, suddenly felt a gaze directed at him.

Following his intuition, Qin Zhibo saw an employee on the opposite staff passage staring at him while leaning on the fence.

The employee's name.
It seems to be called Koizumi Hongzi
