Conan's Corpse Picker

The matching photo in the newspaper was an arrogant white figure, who was parked on the top of a tall building, against the moonlight, with a cloak flying behind him.

- Kidd sent another notice.

Chapter 429 The Correct Way to Strip the Vest

As soon as Kidd was mentioned, Jiang Xia immediately thought of what she had heard about the Suzuki Art Museum when she ran into Mao Lilan on the Big Dipper train a few days ago.

However, counting the seasons, there is still some time before the opening of the museum.

So this time, Kidd did not go to Osaka for activities, but sent a notice letter to Tokyo for a gem called "Red Ghost".

Jiang Xia thought about the key words carefully, but didn't have much impression, so she realized with a little regret that in this incident, I am afraid there is no ghost to pick up.

However, in any case, it is not a loss to have an energy core.It just so happens that he has nothing to do at night, so he can spare time to check on the situation...

In the evening, Jiang Xia finished distributing the cats, locked the door of the office, and returned home.

The location that Kidd announced was not too far from his home.The puppet framed by Wu Tiangou was on its way very quickly.

Jiang Xia then finished his dinner, washed up, and laid down on the bed as usual, covering up the quilt.

Then he skillfully threw the main body at home, causing shikigami and ghosts to pour out of the house.

The metaphysics materials are piled up in hidden corners, condensing into the appearance of a foggy dog.

Jiang Xia rummaged around to find the usual puppet tool bag, put it in the wide sleeves, and then took off in the night and went straight to the target.

……

Today is exactly the full moon.

On the top of the Bencheng Museum, Kidd put away the cable and clinged to the outer edge of the window sill of the building like a piece of light dust. He looked up at the huge cratered moon in the sky, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

In Kidd's home, there is a hidden room of the Phantom Thief, which contains all kinds of equipment left by his father Heiba ​​Pirates, as well as some teaching recordings.

Today, Kidd suddenly learned through the recording that besides magic, there is also unscientific magic in this world.

... The world view was suddenly broken, and he thought he would be surprised.

However, it does not.

Later, when he saw the white suit in the secret room that symbolized the identity of the phantom thief, Kidd was silent for a moment, and suddenly understood why he was so indifferent.

——What is magic?He has even seen real monsters, and even got robbed by Wutiangou face to face many times.Today, his acceptance of the worldview has already broken through the limitations of science...

Kidd quickly forgot about magic and the like, and concentrated on preparing for today's theft plan.

But now, behind the building where the target gem is located.

For some reason, Kidd suddenly felt uneasy again.

He looked left and right at the empty building, thinking that his uneasiness might be due to the anomaly of the police—the Nakamori Police Department didn’t bring a group of people outside the building to block him with great fanfare today... Could it be that the main trap was set in the exhibition hall? inside?

Kidd raised the brim of his hat, carefully pried open the window, fell into the building, and walked to the exhibition hall along the quiet corridor.

His figure disappeared behind the corner.

Another figure circled down from the air and hovered beside the window that Kidd had pried open.

Jiang Xia observed for a while with Wutiangou's vest, folded her wings, and landed on the window sill.

He looked through the window to the place where Kidd disappeared, and then looked back at the empty night, slightly puzzled.

——A wisp of black thread spread from a very far away, one end was tied to Kidd's body, and the other end extended far away, with no end in sight.

Jiang Xia stared at the strange black line passing by the window for a while, carefully avoided it, opened the window, and fell into the building.

After standing firmly, he walked a few steps along the black line in the direction of Kidd, and couldn't help turning his head again to look at the smoky, illusory line.

——It looks like an elongated murderous look.

But apart from the appearance, it is different from murderous aura in terms of taste and energy contained in it.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xia was still curious, and tentatively raised her hand to touch it.

…It’s cooler, soft to the touch, and very resilient after being tightened—the feel is similar to murderousness.

Pausing for a moment, Jiang Xia tried to take out a sealed ghost mint, unwrapped it, and shook it next to the black thread.

The ethereal black line still flows quietly between Kidd and the unknown target, showing no sign of being absorbed by the Ghost Mint at all.

...It seems that it is really not murderous.

So what exactly is this?

Jiang Xia studied for a while, but didn't understand.So he gave up temporarily and decided to wait for Kidd to get the gem, and then follow the line to see the situation.

...Speaking of which, although there is no detailed information about Kidd in his spoiler memory, he vaguely remembers that Kidd has a female classmate who knows magic.

This line may have been made by that witch.

I don't know what her purpose is... But for now, let's focus on grabbing Kidd's energy core first.At least this is the harvest that can be seen in front of you.

Jiang Xia put the ghost mint away again, and walked towards Kidd along the murderous black line.

……

"Dragon whiskers, fish tears, Kappa's eyes, and Kuroba Kaito's handkerchief... With such simple materials, the last man who refuses to fall under my skirt will disappear completely."

In the gloomy castle, Hongzi Koizumi was wearing a soft robe, her red eyes reflected the palm-sized Kidd doll and a piece of heart-shaped chocolate in front of her, and said lazily, "Although the result is satisfactory, there is no such thing as this." Difficult obedience is really boring."

The burly servant who was over one meter long held her wand, and stood behind her respectfully echoing: "You are just getting back what you should have, and this process is really hard to be fun."

Koizumi Hongzi raised her chin slightly, reluctantly agreeing with the servant's first sentence.

She put the magic chocolate aside, played with the mini Kidd doll in her hand, and prepared to wait for the dark clouds to clear, and when the magic power was at its peak, she would draw Kidd to the trap she set.

——Koizumi Hongzi is the orthodox heir of Red Magic.

A while ago, when she had nothing to do, she used the magic mirror for divination and asked a question for fun: who is the most beautiful person in the world.

The magic mirror said respectfully: The most beautiful person in the world is Miss Hongzi, and all men will become her captives...except Kaitou Kidd.

Koizumi Hongzi listened with a smile on her lips, and then smashed the mirror with a click—she was very dissatisfied with the last "except".

Afterwards, Koizumi Hongzi came to the school on Valentine's Day, and accidentally discovered that among a group of boys who surrounded her wanting chocolate, there was a very special person-Kaito Kuroba.

After Koizumi Hongzi was surprised, she made a simple inference in her mind:

It is known that except Kaitou Kidd, all men in the world will become her captives;

Knowing that Kaito Kuroba can say "don't want her chocolate"...

...There is only one truth, Kaito Kuroba is Kaito Kid!

After taking off Kidd's vest neatly, Koizumi Hongko decided to erase this unique exception.

Chapter 430 The History of the Strange Thief's Rollover

On the night of Valentine's Day—that is, tonight, it happened to be the haunting time that Kidd had predicted.

Coupled with a rare full moon tonight, Koizumi's magic will be at its peak.

So she magically made a bar of chocolate, the kind that would fall in love with her if she ate it.Intended to be used on Kidd.

It's just that now, when the plan is about to be implemented, Koizumi Hongzi is always vaguely uneasy.

——The witch's intuition told her that there seemed to be something wrong with her divination.However, due to the lack of basic information, even if you want to confirm it by divination, you don't know where to start.

Koizumi Hongzi pinched the cursed puppet in her hand, turned to look at the magic mirror standing among the skull candles, dragged her robe and walked towards it: "Hey, mirror, you really didn't hide anything from me?"

The magic mirror, which was cracked by Hongzi Koizumi, had a low voice and a respectful tone, repeating the conclusion he had said before: "You are the most beautiful person in this world. All men in this world are Will be your prisoner, except for one..."

click-

Koizumi Hongzi threw the things in her hand over again, interrupting the mirror's words.She only likes the first part, and doesn't want to hear the latter "exception" again.

She covered her lips and let out a series of low laughter: "After tonight, I will come to hear your answer."

... At that time, the second half of the sentence she didn't like to hear will disappear.

Thinking of this, Koizumi Hongzi looked at the magic chocolate in her hand, and a gleam of what was bound to be obtained flashed in her beautiful red eyes.

……

In the exhibition hall.

Kidd may have a premonition about being targeted, and he has been out of shape all day today.

He touched the exhibition hall along the vent, and looked out from the interface.The wide exhibition hall was empty, and there was no one in it. There were only various exhibits on display as usual, with his today's target "Red Ghost" in the middle.

Around the gem, there are not as many policemen as before.Kidd dialed his monocle and found that the anti-theft facilities in the hall were also very ordinary.

This made Kidd a little puzzled. For a moment, he suspected that his notice letter had not been sent out successfully, or that he had written the wrong date, which resulted in no one coming to guard him today...

While thinking, Kidd walked to the display case of "Red Ghost" a little bored.

He reached out to lift off the protective cover, and with a snort, his face was covered in hypnotic gas.

In the next second, a group of policemen wearing gas masks lifted the cabinet, appeared from the surrounding "showcases", and rushed towards Kidd excitedly.

At the same time, there were several blowing sounds of "嗤——" in the hall—a large amount of hypnotic gas was ejected from the nozzles set up by the police, and the gas instantly spread throughout the hall.

An inconspicuous corner of the hall.

Jiang Xia happened to be hiding next to a vent.

Hypnotic gas suddenly sprayed from his side, and he instinctively raised his hand to cover his nose and held his breath.Then I remembered that the puppet is not afraid of anesthetics, and it seems that it doesn't need to breathe... So he put down his hands as if nothing had happened, turned his head and silently began to pry open the window behind him, preparing to catch people.

——he caught sight of Kidd taking a few mouthfuls of hypnotic gas just now.

This strange thief seems to be very out of shape today.And if Kidd falls on the hypnotic gas and is arrested and thrown into the juvenile detention center, according to the time schedule of this world, I don’t know how long it will take for him to come out and continue to shine... Anyway, it is definitely not possible to watch Kidd being arrested The police pack it up and take it away.

In the center of the exhibition hall.

Kidd also quickly realized his mistake.

He pulled up the cloak to cover his face, covering his mouth and nose by the way, then raised his hand and threw a smoke bomb.

The rising smoke blocked the police's sight, and Kidd picked up the "Red Ghost" next to him, and at the same time took the opportunity to use a special steel wire to bounce himself towards the ceiling where no one was paying attention.

After rising to the top, he spread his hands and feet, and supported the well ceiling with all his strength, allowing himself to stay on it.

The police in the hall below acted steadily—after being confused by the smoke, no one thought of looking up, but just looked around in confusion, and no one found Kidd for a while.
