Chapter 49 The Phantom Thief and the Phantom Thief
When Karasawa, who had cut off his appearance, was running towards the Cupido Hotel, another short figure was also running in the same direction.
The detective, whose CPU was running at high speed, locked his eyes on the brightly lit hotel in the night and smiled confidently.
"Yes, this is it! The only place in this direction where you can see the Rice Krispies Museum is here, on the roof of the Cupido Hotel!"
Arrived at the top floor, set off the prepared fireworks, Conan Standing on the rooftop with the night wind howling, I looked towards the Rice Krispies Museum, which was locked by the helicopter’s searchlight.
He glanced at the time, answered Dr. Agasa's call, and listened to information about Phantom Thief No. 1412 while waiting for the arrival of the Phantom Thief.
“There is a young novelist,” that’s your dad. Dr. Ari turned around in his mouth, but he didn’t reveal that Kudo Yusaku gave people nicknames. “He said to this young novelist.” He was very interested in the number 1412 played by police from various countries, so he rewritten and simplified '1412' and pronounced it as KID."
"KID?"
"That's right. , Phantom Thief No. 1412, known as——"
As Dr. Agasa announced in the receiver, Conan's eyes widened and he turned around. Under the crescent moon, a figure in a white cloak emerged from mid-air. Jump down.
"'Kid the Phantom Thief'!"
Kid lowered his head and looked at the little boy standing on the edge of the rooftop, and smiled with interest.
————
“If the phantom thief is an artist who steals his prey with superb skills——
“The detective is just following behind him to nitpick. Just a critic! ”
After performing a voice-changing performance and attracting all the police, Kidd calmly finished his famous line while being surrounded by police helicopters and chasing police. He opened the hang glider with one hand and inserted the sleeve of his other hand into the air. A flash bomb falls out.
He grabbed the hem of his clothes, prepared to quickly change his clothes, sneak into the police and leave.
“—I agree.”
A clear voice passed by his ear. Kidd was startled and rolled sideways keenly, but the flash bomb that was about to hit the ground had already been hit by The passing red shadow was wrapped around and pulled away, and the bright light failed to arrive as expected.
"Who!" Nakamori Ginzo, who had already raised his arms to cover his eyes, was startled when he heard the extra voice and lowered his arms to look over.
I saw a figure that seemed to be climbing along the outer wall, doing a forward somersault, jumping onto the edge of the rooftop, and landed where Kidd had just been standing.
"——It's really lively." Kidd was not panicked even though his plan was broken. He tilted his head and looked at this sudden change.
The man raised his arm, and the red shadow that had just swept away the flash bomb was pulled back by him, wrapped around his neck, and turned into a red scarf. The two tails were blown by the wind picked up by the helicopter. It swayed behind him like a flickering candle.
"Where did this weirdo come from?" Zhongsen Police Department gritted his teeth and yelled at the intercom, "Didn't I tell you to be alert! Why didn't anyone find anyone on the outer wall!"
Because of Conan's The aura masking halo is really useful! Tangze smiled.
Conan took a step back and looked left and right in astonishment.
On one side is Kidd, who is dressed in snow-white, with black hair flowing under a top hat, wearing a monocle, and his cape is dancing fiercely. On the other side is Kidd, who is dressed in pitch black, with white hair flying wildly, and his eyes are wrapped by a circle of eye patches and a scarf. The weird guy swinging in the wind...
Like the opposite mirror image.
Judging from the lower half of his face, this new weirdo is also very young like Kidd, with smooth cheeks full of collagen. He held a card in his hand. Due to the way he held it, he couldn't see clearly what it was. He could only see the red edge...
Red card?
Conan's nerves jumped. If it were in an animation now, there would probably be a ray of light passing through his background.
"'The Phantom Thief of the Heart'?" He shouted out the title that came to his lips at the first moment.
Originally, this man had been staring closely at Kidd, as if no one else around him existed. After hearing this cry, he finally turned his head in the direction of Conan.
Didn't deny Conan's call, he smiled: "You can call me, 'Joker', Mr. Little Detective."
After saying this, he turned his head again Staring at Kidd, completely ignoring the police around him.
"'The Phantom Thief of the Heart'...ah, it's you." Kidd also laughed, "A guy who has been in the limelight recently, my Copycat."
Kang Ze recognized Kidd immediately. subtext.
Kid said that he learned the technique of writing notice letters. The logo of the Phantom Thieves is also somewhat similar to the simple drawing that Kidd likes to leave behind. It is suspected of plagiarism and academic infringement.
“That sounds awful, Mr. Kidd.” Karasawa spread his hands innocently, P5 is like this, does it have anything to do with him? “Since you have heard of my name, you should also Have you heard that I am a thief who steals something?" Kidd smiled clearly, crossed his arms, and started talking to him as if no one else was around: "A righteous thief who hunts evil and judges villains, that is, 'stealing hearts.' , right.”
Karasawa snapped his fingers: "Correct answer."
"It seems that this copycat's prey this time is me."
Ginzo Nakamori squeezed his fist angrily Fist, angrily found that the two criminals completely ignored the heavily guarded police, and started chatting. He waved his hand: "What are you waiting for! Come on, take down these two guys together!"
The police officers of Search Section 2 who were watching a show in a daze, woke up from a dream as if they were dreaming. They responded in a loud voice, divided into two groups and rushed towards the two strange thieves dressed in different costumes, one on the left and the other on the right.
It's a pity that the two people still didn't pay them much attention.
"Do you mind having a showdown? 'Artist'. Let's see whether you escape safely first or I succeed first." Karasawa raised the flash bomb he got from Kidd.
How could you have heard of the fundamentalist fantasy thief? You must know that in the comics, using the press to issue a challenge letter can make Kidd show up obediently. This is all a special trip to the face to declare a challenge. There is nothing wrong with it. The logic behind the connection.
“It’s settled. So it seems that the ‘critics’ are not useless.” Kidd also took out another flash bomb, “After all, the level of art also needs to be judged by bystanders. ?”
“Cover your eyes!” Nakamori Ginzo, who is experienced in fighting with Kidd, shouted, “Don’t let him take the opportunity to escape with the hang glider!” ! ”
Amidst the two indiscriminate thuds, two bright lights flashed up. Conan, who had gone through a battle between heaven and man in his heart and chose to point his gun at Kidd first, quietly raised the dial, and was caught again. Bright lights flashed on both sides at the same time, blinding his eyes, and he could only cover his eyes and step back again.
When everyone put down their hands, the ground in front of them was empty. Neither Kidd nor Joker, who ran out from behind, were anywhere to be seen.
"People!" Nakamori Ginzo shouted with a walkie-talkie, "I asked you to be alert from the air, what are you alerting! Hurry up and use radar to track it!"
"But "Sir..." the helicopter pilot's voice came out weakly, "Except for the four police helicopters, there are no other flying objects in the sky."
Ginzo Nakamori took two steps forward and soon discovered. There is a piece of paper with roses on the ground, and above it is a new warning letter from Kidd, stating that he will go to the Queen Lisabeth to pick up the real "Dark Star".
"Damn it!" He smashed the walkie-talkie incompetently and furiously, "Then let me search the hotel!"
Kid, who quickly changed his clothes in the bright light of the flash bomb, pulled the edge of his police hat. Sneaking behind the police officers from the Second Search Section, he followed them out of the rooftop door and quietly slipped into the safe passage.
Kuroba Kaito quickly went downstairs and quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Really, I thought the plan had changed and I really had to fly out with a hang glider and have a dogfight with the helicopter ace.
Fortunately, this inexplicable "comrade" who appeared from behind also seemed to be a pushy type. After taking away the first flash bomb, he stood there and sang along. The policeman who was accidentally frightened could not make it for the second time. A sudden pounce allowed him to escape as planned.
Thinking of that "Joker", Kuroba Kaito clicked his tongue.
Although there are some criticisms of copycat, there are actually colleagues who imitate his techniques and even create retro notices. Does that mean that "Phantom Thief Kidd" is also well recognized in the industry!
He is still a little secretly happy.
I don’t know how this Joker can make people “change their minds” on time. Judging from his stature and body shape, he doesn’t look much older than himself.
It’s not a big problem. He is also a veteran who has been chased by the police for a long time. Now it’s just one more colleague chasing behind him. It’s a small matter.
Full of confidence, Kuroba Kaito touched the police uniform again, preparing to change it on the next floor, put on another set of clothes, and leave the hotel safely and elegantly.
With this touch, I suddenly felt something hard in the chest pocket.
"Huh?" He stood in front of the security door and took out what was in his pocket.
This is a red card with a logo of a top hat and a flaming eye patch on the back. It is the kind of notice letter often sent by "Phantom Thief of Hearts", and it was also the one that Karasawa just held in his hand. That one.
Kuroba Kaito had a bad feeling, so he turned the card over.
There are no words of judgment that the Phantom Thief of Hearts usually has on it, but a line of letters and a symbol.
“Kuroba?”
This is the Roman pronunciation of “Black Feather”.
Kuroba Kaito: "?!"
