Kaitou Kidd?
After hearing the name, everyone at the dinner table, except Ye Gengyi who was still eating quietly, opened their eyes wide and looked at Suzuki Sonoko in surprise.
"Oh...he's the thief who likes to show off, right?"
After comparing the two sides like this.
Mouri Kogoro suddenly realized that his famous detective's reaction was a bit off-kilter. He quickly took a sip of beer and said in a more relaxed tone, "Why...is he eyeing your gems again?"
Suzuki Sonoko smiled "hehe" and waved his hand:
"No, it is said that Lord Kidd's target this time is a ring called 'Sapphire Star'..."
Hey, hey, although it's not your family's gem, but you, the eldest lady, are a little too happy... Mouri Kogoro curled his lips, and was about to show off his elders' style and give a few words of earnest education.
At this time, Ye Gengyi on the side grabbed the key words and asked:
"Why is it said?"
"Because the news has not been confirmed."
Suzuki Sonoko explained:
"However, that theater also has a cooperative relationship with my family. Their boss was worried that the theft of gems would affect the performance, so after going around a lot, I recommended Uncle Maori, a famous detective, to them for help."
"Really..." A certain toolman who got a windfall from a horse racing ticket suddenly felt like he was forced to go into business: "This kind of thing should be left to the police. I'm very busy..."
"Eh???"
Suzuki Sonoko was shocked, "Uncle, do you have any other commissions to do? Oh, what can I do about this... I have promised the owner of the theater that I can find time to arrange for you and that person who is in the golden period of his acting career. The actress is meeting."
An actress in the golden period of her acting career... Mouri Kogoro took another sip of beer and asked casually: "Um, is she very popular?"
...Suzuki Sonoko thought about the words and said:
"It's not a matter of whether she is popular or not. She is the kind of actress who has good acting skills and is very beautiful. In terms of age, she seems to be only one year younger than you..."
Mouri Kogoro's eyes lit up, he patted his chest and said, "I will be free all day tomorrow. She is welcome to visit at any time!"
"Garden!"
Mao Lilan, who was suffering from her parents' relationship, was suddenly stabbed in the back by her best friend.
...
The next day, 6:30.
Ye Gengyi, who was making breakfast in the kitchen, heard a knock on the door from the entrance.
Wash your hands, wipe your hands, leave the kitchen and come to the living room.
The above actions took about 1 minute.
By the time Ye Gengyi came to the living room, a certain god of death in a blue suit had already walked in uninvited.
"Brother Gengyi, good morning." Conan greeted with a smile.
"Sit anywhere."
Ye Geng pointed to the sofa beside him, turned around and returned to the kitchen.
There is nothing surprising, after all, breaking into 'other people's' homes without permission is already a basic operation for these detectives.
Within about ten minutes, Dr. Ali and Haibara Ai also got up and washed up one after another.
Conan quickly approached and explained his purpose.
"A flying prop that can even be operated by children?" Dr. Ali fell into thinking.
The solar turbine jet he studied before can fly, but due to energy constraints, it can only stay in the air for about 3 minutes, and it is also accompanied by the risk of explosion...
"Wouldn't it be nice to use the same glider as Kaitou Kidd?" Haibara Ai came up with an idea from the side.
"No, with Conan's size, I'm afraid he won't be able to operate even the smallest hang glider... By the way!"
Dr. A Li patted his thigh and said, "How about a paraglider? Although it doesn't fly as fast as a hang glider, it has high stability..."
"Okay! Doctor, please help me prepare one. I happened to have learned how to use a paraglider in Hawaii before." Conan's face was serious.
...
Had breakfast together.
In order to prevent Ye Gengyi from staying at home, a detective found out and objected to his plan of paragliding, so he couldn't help but force him to send him back to the detective agency by "acting coquettishly and cutely" without any limit. .
He said with a good name, "The client is coming today. Brother Gengyi, as a 'technical expert' of the police, you also have the obligation to catch the thief!"
...
nine in the morning.
A pigeon carrying a camera and bugs landed on the treetop right in front of the second-floor window of the office on time.
Ye Gengyi, who was aware of this, still conducted reverse tracking of the signal source.
At the same time, drama actor Maki Shuli came to the office with her assistant.
She is indeed a great beauty... Mouri Kogoro welcomed the two of them to the sofa. After asking Xiaolan to make coffee, he asked in a simple and elegant manner:
"Miss Mu, although I have heard about some of the situation in general, can you please describe the detailed process of receiving the notice letter?"
"Yes." Mu Shuli nodded and gestured to his assistant to take out the notice letter and said, "Yesterday afternoon, I found this notice letter and a large bouquet of roses on the balcony of the apartment."
The uncle said last night that Kaitou Kid liked to show off, but he really didn't do him any wrong at all... Conan complained silently, and then his eyes fell on the notice letter.
【Romeo, Juliet, Victor, Bravo! In the midst of these 26 letters flying and intertwining, I will go to get the gem of destiny, Kaitou Kidd...]
At the end, there is also a playing card torn into a "V" shape...Here, Kogoro Mori was confused after reading it, so he could only point to the word "destiny" on the notice letter. The words "gem" asked:
"This gem refers to the sapphire star, right?"
"That's right," Maki Shuli placed a jewelry box on the coffee table and opened it, explaining: "The three lines on this gem symbolize trust, hope and destiny respectively, so it is called the 'Gem of Destiny' .”
"I see, this gem is really beautiful..." Mouri Kogoro sighed with emotion.
Yes, I just don’t know how long I can support my scientific research consumption after selling it... Ye Geng casually tapped his temple twice, "Xiao Bai, have you tracked it?"
[The location has been locked, but no camera was found near the target character 'Kuroba Kaito', and images are temporarily unavailable. 】
"Don't go to so much trouble. Just open a new channel on his encrypted line and ask him, 'Will you return the gems you stole this time?'"
After Ye Geng finished speaking, he turned to look out the window.
Yoneka Town, 5-chome.
In a dark alley, Kuroba Kaito was wearing a hood and black clothes.
There was a palm-sized monitor placed in front of him, and a headset of the same color number was connected to the side of the device.
Except for the three-finger-thick receiving antenna, if you really want to say that this is a next-generation full-screen phone, I'm afraid some people will believe it.
He smiled "hehe" and pointed at Ye Gengyi's head on the screen, "Damn brother, I knew you would definitely participate, but this time... I didn't even let you know. If you start from scratch to decipher the code, what are you going to do?"
A certain thief who had learned his lesson was listening in. Suddenly, a familiar tone came from his earphones, causing his smile to freeze on his face.
