The next day, afternoon.
In front of the Fashion Museum.
The spacious road is divided into parts outside the warning area, which are already filled with people coming and going.
Kuroba Kaito changed into inconspicuous casual clothes and hid in the crowd watching the excitement. He talked through his mobile phone with Terai Kinosuke who was editing video on the other side:
"It looks like the rehearsal was a success. The number of people was probably more than three times that of yesterday."
"Okay, Master," Terai Kinosuke replied with a smile: "With this kind of preconceived concept instillation, the more people look forward to the next miracle that will appear in mid-air, the easier it will be for our magic to succeed, by the way... ...Mr. Ye will also come, I wonder if he will be surprised after seeing the young master’s performance.”
He wouldn't be surprised... Kuroba Kaito snorted and changed the subject:
"Dad, over there are two commercial buildings..."
"Master, don't worry."
While importing the edited images into the transmission equipment, Terai Kinosuke said: "Ms. Miyano and Miss Shimabukuro have disguised themselves as ordinary tourists and are monitoring the area. If they find anything, they will tell us immediately via radio. …”
"Well, I understand."
Kuroba Kaito responded, no longer thinking wildly, but focused his attention on Suzuki Jirokichi, who was obviously super rich, but did not bring a bodyguard, and liked to ride around alone on a motorcycle.
Knock him out and replace him, don't give him too many chances...
…
"Hey, the people coming to see the excitement are even more exaggerated than yesterday!"
The other end of the long street.
Mouri Kogoro muttered with great dissatisfaction: "Besides, since we know that the thief will come to steal the gem today, shouldn't the scene be cordoned off?"
"There is no way," Suzuki Sonoko spread her hands: "My uncle said that the scene for filming the autobiography must be real. Without the crowd of onlookers, it is impossible to show the effect I want to achieve..."
Haha, he said it as if he could definitely catch Kidd... Conan, with his half-moon eyes, silently complained, and then fell into deep thought:
But...what method did Kaitou Kidd use to be able to walk in mid-air against gravity?
Also, his behavior of using smoke bombs to disappear before he finished speaking the curtain call was also very concerning...
"Hey, what's wrong? You have a serious expression on your face."
Haibara Ai asked from the side: "Are you still thinking about Kaitou Kid's method of walking in the air?"
"How?" Conan looked back with an embarrassed face.
"So..." Haiyuan Ai asked, "What did you see? Or did you get any clues?"
"I have no clue at all," Conan said honestly, "To tell you the truth, I went to the two buildings where Kidd appeared yesterday with the Zhongshan Police Department, and we found no suspicious hanging objects. You also saw it in the broadcast truck. In the real-time footage transmitted back from the helicopter from above, the wire was not captured, and finally he suddenly disappeared in the air..."
"Alas..." Haiyuan sighed and muttered: "Sure enough, it's not that easy."
"Yeah," Conan looked at her strangely, "What do you mean?"
Of course, in terms of observation and insight, you once again lost to a certain organizational cadre... After Haibara cursed, he rubbed his brows and said vaguely:
"I always feel that Brother Gengyi seems to have seen something..."
Eh? !
Conan was stunned: "What does it mean?"
"...It's just my guess."
Haibara Ai continued to vaguely tell Ye Gengyi's theory in the broadcast truck yesterday that he felt it was a waste of time because he knew.
Of course, she still selectively concealed the news that the two went to a shopping mall.
"So? Did Brother Gengyi tell you how Kidd did it?" Conan asked.
"No," Hui Yuan Ai yawned, "He let me enjoy the fun of admiring magic, but I found that this would only aggravate my insomnia... I originally had some expectations, but now it seems that you haven't done it either Understand the situation."
"Haha, I'm really sorry..." Conan was ashamed, and at the same time turned his head to look at Ye Gengyi, who was chatting with Suzuki Sonoko and Mori Kogoro.
I was curious and wanted to ask...but I held myself back.
There is no other way. Since Brother Gengyi has not told Haiyuan, even if he asks, he may not be able to find out anything...
As for the method of using 'Ah Le Le' to attract the attention of the uncle and others and force Geng Yige to say something, it might be counterproductive and the other party will greet him with an iron fist.
Besides, who am I? Detective Kudo Shinichi!
How could you give up your own reasoning and believe that Brother Geng Yi knows everything just based on Haiyuan's vague words?
Even if Geng Yi's reasoning ability is better than mine, it's only a little better!
A certain detective secretly encouraged himself and quickly thought of a common sense explanation.
Yes... that's right. When you see a human standing in mid-air, it's a no-brainer to suspect what props or techniques the other party used. Geng Yi Ge must have only guessed that Kaito Kidd used some kind of props, so he didn't continue to investigate further. …
Yes, it is normal for him, a professor who is not very active in solving murder cases, to show that he does not want to waste time and pay attention to magic.
You want me to watch it, if Haiyuan and I hadn't happened to be kidnapped and needed to go out to relax, and the doctor has been obsessed with a soap opera in the past two days, with the attitude of Geng Yi, who just went back to bed after watching Kidd's performance yesterday , I’m afraid even coming out to join in the fun requires a lot of determination.
Ha...this otaku.
After Conan perfectly formed a path with his reasoning logic, he nodded with satisfaction, and under the guidance of Suzuki Sonoko, he came to the rooftop of the building closest to the disappearance point of Phantom Thief Kidd last night.
"Please, this is too exaggerated..."
As soon as he stepped onto the steps, Mouri Kogoro opened his mouth wide.
On the originally empty rooftop, there was now a solid wood round table. In addition to the number of stools that were placed for them, there was also a row of cabinets with drinks standing on the side near the guardrail.
Looking at the crowded crowd below, and then looking at the rooftop with only bodyguards, butlers and a few of them...they are really evil rich people.
"Miss Yuanzi, we are all ready. Please also invite the distinguished guests who are accompanying us to take a seat."
The butler who had been staying here greeted a few people to sit down very respectfully, and then asked at the right time: "What kind of drinks would you like to drink?"
"Hot coffee without sugar, thank you." Ye Gengyi said.
"I want a cup with sugar," Haihara Ai said.
"Then I want two cans of beer..."
"dad!"
Mao Lilanhe stopped a certain tool, turned his head and said sheepishly: "Sorry, we just want tea, what about you Yuanzi..."
"That's whatever, I just want Kidd-sama." Suzuki Sonoko put her chin in her hands, with a look of longing on her face.
Everyone: "..."
I'm afraid you are embarrassing the housekeeper...
