Heavy rain poured on the ancient temple with a dilapidated appearance.
A cold breeze poured into the room through the open windows.
Although Kuroba Kaito's disguise technique is superb, he still doesn't know when he can leave here, and he doesn't dare to stand in front of the window for a long time, lest his mask be scratched by blowing branches or small stones.
He quickly calmed down his emotions, still looking anxious on the surface, and said:
"Contact the hospital at the foot of the mountain as soon as possible to send an ambulance to the intersection, in case the kid is poisoned..."
"Not poisoned."
Haibara Ai put his hands on the edge of the pillar and found a stun gun from inside: "Edogawa-san was stunned by this."
Brother, take care of your children, what are you doing?... Kuroba Kaito was depressed.
The news of the mudslide gave everyone in the room a large buffer space, otherwise according to his plan, he would have left gracefully in the midst of Suzuki Jirokichi's furious BGM...
"I see, that guy just knocked out this most difficult kid... I'm so sorry."
No matter how smart Conan is, in Suzuki Jiroyoshi's eyes, he is just a 7-year-old first-grade child. However, thinking of the vault last time... Kaitou Kidd actually pranked a child like this. He must have suffered a big loss at the hands of the other party. !
This only strengthened his impression that Kaitou Kidd was not good at dealing with children.
After all, the target is too obvious.
"What are you talking about over there? That's how it is!"
Kuroba Kaito changed the target of the strategy and tried to instill in everyone the idea that Kaito Kidd had stolen the treasure and left:
"It's not that I blame you for hyping up the gem that was discovered a few days ago in the media. If you give me more time and can set up a good dragnet, I won't let that guy give the gem to..."
“Not a few days but a month.”
Suzuki Jirokichi interrupted: "I heard that the Kirin Horn was collected in this temple a month ago. When I bought it, I specifically asked to make the news public later. The purpose was to let the Kaitou base That guy in Germany thought I was an old fool, and when I found a bait that could lure him in, I got carried away and issued a gauntlet to him."
It took a month to prepare? This old man underestimated him...
Kuroba Kaito was shocked.
Because this was indeed information that he had not found out, and his long-term habit made him mistakenly believe that Suzuki Jirokichi would be the same as before, and he would eagerly publicize it as soon as he found a gem.
"So, these seemingly crude lighting equipment..." Kuroba Kaito hesitated, deliberately leading Suzuki Jirokichi to reveal more information.
"Yes, I had expected that he would cause a power outage. I also found the micro detonator on the rain window, including the rotten window frame that looked like it could break with just a few clicks, and the window frame that looked like it could break with just a few taps. The collapsing walls and wooden doors were actually rebuilt with steel materials that could withstand shells at a huge cost!" Jirokichi Suzuki said.
"What happened to the piercing siren just now?" Kuroba Kaito asked.
"I had someone embed a sensor at the entrance and exit. As long as someone forcibly opens the door, the device will be triggered." Jirokichi Suzuki said.
"Hello!"
Kuroba Kaito put on an angry look: "That's why I said, that Kaitou Kidd guy must have run out, and what you prepared is completely useless!"
When I was installing micro bombs on the windows, I didn't detect the sensor in the door frame. This old Suzuki man must have just installed the things inside today.
...Nice job, man!
However, the wind and rain outside were strong, and the road had not yet been cleared. Even if Aoko and her father's reckless character were used, it would not be easy to leave the mountain.
And the unicorn horn left in the little detective's hat may not be so easy to take back...
Kuroba Kaito is still thinking about his next strategy.
Here, Suzuki Jirokichi shook his head: "No! Although the alarm sounded, I suspect that the thief and his accomplices are still in this room!"
"What...what did you say..." Black Feather was almost frightened.
Suzuki Jirokichi took out the walkie-talkie and said: "How is it outside the door?"
A moment later, a response came over the intercom: "Advisor, there are no signs of the stone moving."
Stone, stone! ?
Kuroba Kaito's eyes widened.
"Do you know now? After you guys came in, I had people bring stones to block the door. It took at least 8 people to move the stone. No matter what Kaitou Kidd did, it was impossible to change it. Are you going to drop eight of my men?" Suzuki Jirokichi said.
Ye Gengyi: "..."
I see.
The next step after triggering the alarm, he tried to break open the door to create the illusion that Kaito Kidd had escaped, but failed.
Suzuki Jiroji snorted: "Besides, the way down the mountain has been blocked by a mudslide. It's impossible for that guy to not think of this, so he must still be in this house."
Kuroba Kaito: "..."
Hey hey, old man! You think I'm stupid, how could I predict such a mudslide in advance...
"Okay, Officer Nakamori, it's your turn."
Suzuki Jirokichi said seriously: "Except for those children, pinch the faces of everyone present!"
Crap!
Kuroba Kaito's heart trembled.
While I was depressed, I was also worried about an old man who would come to watch my magic show.
At this moment, this small temple seemed to have become a prison cell from which there was no escape.
Even if the two of them worked together to knock out everyone in the room, there would still be no less than 20 mobile team members surrounding them outside.
Let’s take a step back.
Even if they were tricked into moving the rocks, would the two of them still have to hide in this mountain with a typhoon for three hours?
Looking back, I haven't peeled off my own skin yet...
There is no better way, we can only delay as much time as possible!
Kuroba Kaito took a deep breath and said seriously:
"Wait a minute! Before that, I have something I want to figure out..."
The main reason he said this was to tell Ye Geng, so that the other party could hold his ground for the time being.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Suzuki Jiroji was confused.
"If I remember correctly, if you want to open the mechanism of the Kirin statue, you must use 4 keys, right?" Kuroba Kaito stared at Suzuki Jirokichi.
"Uh...yeah..." Suzuki Jiroji nodded.
"So, can you tell me?"
Kuroba Kaito pointed to the iron nail nailed to the wall some distance away, and said: "How on earth did Kaitou Kidd take out the key from below, and then insert it into the keyholes on the pedestal in the four corners of the room and turn it at the same time? What about?"
