The fact that Kuroba Toichi is still alive is a secret to both Kuroba Kaito and Terai Huangnosuke.
But on the other hand, with Kuroba Qiankage as a message relay, he wouldn't be blinded after meeting Professor Ye.
Since we 'know', it's easy to say...
Ye Gengyi sent a stop command, while recovering the props, he asked:
"It's probably not a coincidence."
"..."
Black Feather Pirates' lips moved a few times, as if he was adapting to the somewhat jumpy chatting style of the young man in front of him. After a moment of silence, he said:
"To find Kaito."
"I see, Spider has also called you." Ye Geng understood.
He used 'you' instead of 'you'. The reason was simple, because Kaito also used the temporary mobile phone number to contact Kuroba Chikage.
This person's mind moves so fast...
Kuroba Toichi secretly sighed and said: "Yes, but... Qiankage thought that call was a prank by Kaito. When I heard the sound of 'Spider' next to me, the other party had already hung up the phone in a hurry. .”
"You didn't expose anything, did you?" Ye Gengyi asked for details.
The Black Feather Thief shook his head, with a faint smile still on his delicate face, but Ye Gengyi could sense that the other party was emotionally embarrassed for several seconds.
Could it be that when Spider asked "Are you an accomplice of Kaitou Kidd", Chikage Kuroba's answer was "I am your mother"?
Hmm... It's also possible that he almost cheated his son, and he was embarrassed to say it in front of himself.
Ye Gengyi used a joking way to relieve the pressure on his nerves, then simply looked around the room and asked:
"What did you find?"
"There are no hidden rooms in this theater."
Black Feather Toiichi's tone became serious: "But after seeing you appear, I'm a little unsure again."
Ye Gengyi knew what the other party meant and said directly: "I locked this place based on the location of my mobile phone, but the person is alive, and now it seems that the other party is more cautious than I thought."
The black feather thief nodded, and then said:
"In Hamlet, one of William Shakespeare's plays, when the protagonist Hamlet is talking to his father's ghost, there will be a loud bell. The time when Qianying received the call was not on the hour, so I judged that the bell came from someone Theater, we split up and searched in London until I met you here."
"The place of imprisonment won't be too far away..."
Ye Gengyi analyzed: "But I don't know if 'Spider' has contacted other killers."
"You mean the gang that stayed in the Sunak Hotel before you?" Black Feather Thief asked.
Since a certain former Phantom Thief Kidd had been 'vacationing' in London with Kuroba Chikage from his son from the very beginning, he naturally knew where Ye Gengyi and Kuroba Kaito would end up.
"No, there was some accident in the hotel last night. I have confirmed that they are all under house arrest in the guest room."
Ye Gengyi gave the latest observed information and continued:
"Spider often tours the world as Günter von Goldberg II to conceal his identity as a criminal, but a person's energy is limited after all. I don't think he can do it alone in a short period of time. Within hours, Kaito, in disguise, was tracked from London."
He had already experienced the same thing when tracking Hades, and knew how difficult it was to accomplish it.
Black Feather Pirates didn't answer directly. After thinking for a moment, he continued to ask: "Have you fought against him before?"
Ye Gengyi said "Hmm", refining the process and retelling the situation of the fight.
The Black Feather Thief was still nodding lightly at first, but when he heard the young man's plan to steal the gems, he almost couldn't keep his 'poker face'.
Disguising themselves and creating fake fires to trigger fire-extinguishing devices were not too difficult to operate. The key to the plan was that the opponent was able to subdue the top killer 'Spider' in a short period of time.
Psychological tactics, strength, and the use of the environment, if it were any other person, I would be doubtful, but I have just experienced all the above firsthand.
By the way, there are also props that I have never seen before.
Speaking of which...
Black Feather Thief had been observing from the beginning, but even with his eyesight, he could not see where the young man in front of him had hidden the recovered props.
Here, in order to save time, Ye Gengyi quickly shared the information and said nothing more.
Although he has never dealt with the former Phantom Thief Kidd, but faced with the situation of his own son being kidnapped, he should not ask some meaningless topics.
"That's right. Spider acts alone. He is an unscrupulous but arrogant person. In fact, whether it is magic or illusion, it requires some mechanisms and props to cooperate. If it is not the closest person, it will not Be willing to share these secrets.”
Black Feather Bandit said:
"In order not to affect Kaito, in the years since I faked my death, I have been using other identities to fight against that organization. I probably also investigated some things. In addition to being an illusionist, the spider himself also has a taste for 'smell'. He is particularly keen, and he knows some of the materials used in disguise as soon as he smells them."
Yes, illusion is Spider's trump card. Black Feather Pirates has fought against the opponent many times, so the information in this area is still trustworthy...
But how did the spider catch Kaito?
Ye Gengyi did not rule out the possibility of a chance encounter, but the problem was that Kaito had changed his appearance.
When he met the strange doctor last time and knew that there were such people in the world who could see through their disguises through their 'smell', he specifically reminded the strange thief boy to work hard on this.
To put it simply, different characters use different body scents, perfumes, and even strange smells.
etc……
Ye Gengyi thought of another possibility.
Could it be that the kid changed his disguise during the tracking process?
My mind flashed back to discussing this matter.
At that time, after hearing the suggestion, Kuroba Kaito also raised a concern, that is, if he encounters a situation where he needs to disguise himself as other people multiple times in a short period of time, the overly complicated flavor of the disguise will not only be unsatisfactory. It is helpful to hide the body shape, but it will also speed up the exposure.
The plan given by Ye Gengyi is to use smoke bombs, which are originally used to contaminate sweat and other biological residues. However, if there is no risk of exposure, you still need to carry a few masks without adding special scent.
So... Kaito changed his disguise without having the ability to clean up the smell when he was following Mori and his daughter...
Well, this is in line with the information provided by Kuroba Toichi.
Ye Gengyi quickly reversed the process.
The only opponent is Spider. This is good news.
