Conan: The Mechanic

"Okay," Kaitou Kid pouted. "I think about it, in addition to providing footsteps to let you judge my whereabouts, this layer of water under my feet has other functions, right?"

"That's right," the cloaked man nodded. "Your flashbang is almost useless too, because it goes off as soon as it hits the ground."

"I think, if such thick water spreads in such a wide space, it must not be light, right?" Kidd asked. "Please tell me that's why the airship moves so slowly?"

"Yes," the cloaked man nodded. "More than 20 tons of water, so Suzuki consultants specially adjusted an engine block to provide a lift mode, which also led to a slightly slower speed."

"Okay, then I may have one and a half left to use?" Kaito Kid shrugged. "Although my smoke bombs may not work, and flash bombs won't work very well, I think I can still make a fool of myself - with what you call almost obsolete."

Saying this, Kidd took out a small ball without any cover, and then pinched it. Immediately afterwards, he threw the ball up hard. Immediately afterwards, he took out the poker gun and fired a shot upwards.

"Oh." Chiyu immediately realized what Kidd might want to do, but after looking up, he immediately turned his eyes away from this direction.

Water on the ground prevents the thermite reaction flash of Kidd's flashbang, but it doesn't stop the flashbang from blazing in the air.

The second point is what Haibara Ai was worried about before—it is noon now, and the sun is shining in from the observation window directly above. Just checking to see if there were any stains just now left a dark spot on Chiba's retina that lasted for a few minutes.

Everyone immediately lowered their heads until the flash grenade fell into the water and made a crashing sound.

"Where is he?" Qian Yu asked. "Can anyone see it?"

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of a machine that was almost running frantically from behind them, followed by the surprised sound from Kaitou Kidd. "Ah!" Followed by the sound of splashing water.

Chiba turned around immediately, and caught Kid, who had completely changed back to his phantom thief's attire, getting up from the ground in embarrassment.

"My God," Kidd stood up quite embarrassedly, and then looked at the cloaked man. "I...I'm really curious...how on earth did you do it?"

"What do you mean?" The man in the cloak turned around unhurriedly and looked at Kaitou Kidd. "Why do I have nothing to do when I stand in front of the jewelry cabinet, but do you trigger a trap when you stand in front of the jewelry cabinet?"

"Yes," Kidd looked at the direction of the jewelry cabinet in shock. "This thing..."

On the jewelry cabinet, a fairly elastic bullet net has completely wrapped the entire jewelry cabinet. And it was the four poles that could slide up and down on the pillars that Chiba had been puzzled about earlier. Obviously, something detected the arrival of Kaito Kidd, and then used the mechanism inside to spread a net between the four poles, and then slid down quickly through mechanical force-the speed was obviously quite fast, otherwise it is known for its maneuverability. The phantom thief Kidd wouldn't get out in a mess.

"Ask a question," the man in the cloak asked. "What did you eat in the morning?"

"What's wrong with the airship's breakfast?" Kid frowned. "Is there a problem with the diet?"

"There is no problem in your diet, but we have a problem," the man in the cloak made a gesture of spreading his hands. "We had a little barium meal in the morning."

"Barium meal..." Kaito Kid repeated the word thoughtfully, and then guessed something. "You won't... there won't be X-ray detection equipment here?"

"Yes," the cloaked man nodded. "The X-ray detection equipment and the visible light detection equipment detect simultaneously. If the X-ray detection equipment does not respond and the visible light detection equipment sees something, the net will come down. Under normal conditions, this may not be able to cope with your smoke bombs. , but in a situation like this, you simply can't create smoke that can elude detection equipment."

"Looks like I probably won't be able to steal it?" Kidd smacking his lips when he looked at the jewelry cabinet that had been covered by the net. "Although this operation seems to be a failure, it is true, but I still have a worthwhile trip - I didn't expect to meet such a good and respectable opponent as you."

"Okay," said the cloaked man with a smile. "If you want me to say, I can only tell you one thing - you..." At this point, the cloak man suddenly stopped.

"What do you want to say?" Kidd asked.

"It's nothing," the cloaked man shook his head. "Just thinking of something subtle."

"What's the matter?" Kidd frowned.

"It probably has nothing to do with you," said the cloaked man. "By the way, are you interested in showing off your hypnotic gas?"

"Huh?" Kidd was stunned~www.readwn.com~ If you don't show your hypnotic gas, then we will be embarrassed. "The man in the cloak looked at Kidd's face and said so. "Meet our hypnotic gas." Friendly reminder, this is not something that superficial things like gas masks can resist. "

Having said that, a large amount of gas suddenly spewed out from the surrounding walls—these gases were all ejected from the original exhaust vents, so Chiba had never discovered these devices before.

"Then what should we do?" Qianyu asked. "Maybe you have defensive equipment, but we don't!"

"You are immune to this," the cloaked man said lightly. "Remember the cake that Officer Nakamori invited the two of you to eat yesterday? That cake has been mixed with a long-acting antidote for this hypnotic ingredient, and the dose is enough to neutralize three times what you might inhale and come into contact with while running. Hypnotic ingredient in total dose of hypnotic active ingredient."

"Cake..." Qianyu was surprised. "An odorless immunizer?"

"It's not tasteless," Conan replied. "It's just that the cake's smell is too strong to cover it up - if you and I eat cake in the same room, the Chinese medicine there is strong enough to offset the abnormal taste that you can taste when you eat the cake."

"Yes, indeed," Haibara said indifferently. "I did feel a little weird yesterday, but I just didn't pursue it."

"If that's the case..." Kaitou Kid glanced at the smoke that kept filling up. "Then I can only dodge it, otherwise I'll be in big trouble. Fortunately, this thing is obviously heavier, so..."

Behind him, a hook rope flew out again, grabbed a leverage point above, and took Kidd into the air.
