Chapter 866 White Horse Detective
The suspension bridge has been broken, and everyone except the Escape King and the Shadow Mage are now gathered in the house.
So, the only possibility is that the person knocking on the door is...
"Are they here?" Huang Yi, who was forced to end the topic, frowned and asked uncertainly .
He was a little bit muttered. Just as he was about to mention the conflict between the Shadow Mage and others, and the reason why he and the Escape King decided to hold a limited offline gathering after discussing it, the door was knocked at just the right time. It was as if someone outside the door was deliberately knocking on the door. Just interrupt him.
It felt more or less like he was being caught red-handed by someone speaking ill of someone behind their back, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
However, Tanaka Takakie, who was standing not far behind him, looked frightened.
Before she set out to come here, she came to the door and killed Xishanwu, whose online name was Escape King. And she herself was the one who pretended to be the shadow mage and spoke. It was impossible for her to have There are people who haven't come to the appointment yet...
Her feet seemed to be glued, and she was frozen in place, not daring to move at all, but Huang Yi had already taken the initiative to step forward and open the door.
No matter who is outside the door, it is not a good thing for people to stay outdoors in this weather.
As the door opened, the cold air that had just been isolated broke in again. Along with the cold wind and snowflakes, the person who walked into the door was a guy wearing a cloak, covering himself tightly.
The visitor was standing in front of the door. His figure was covered by a black cloak, like a shadow coming out of the night. It was impossible to tell the identity of the other person at a glance.
Tang Ze raised his eyebrows immediately.
No Tarot, this person is not his teammate.
Now, in the snow outside this villa, is there anyone who has overcome the obstruction of his teammates and broke into the party venue?
The person standing at the door did not close the door immediately, but shook the snow on his cloak and said angrily: "The Shadow Mage said, 'This great magician will die, and it is all because of you'... Yes Right?”
There was nothing wrong with his retelling, but it made Araggi couldn’t help but take a step back.
On such a snowy night, in such a closed environment, when encountering such a weird guy, even the organizer himself, who had expected it, could not help but shudder at this time.
"You, you are... the Shadow Mage..."
The man in black stood in front of the door silently, without saying a word, until Huang Yi felt that he was about to He only raised his arms when he was soaked by the coldness of the wind and snow.
There was a sound of flapping wings, and an agile, handsome falcon landed on his horizontal arm, shaking the snow from its feathers, and looking at the stunned crowd in the room with dignity.
At this time, the uninvited guest slowly closed the door that kept pouring cold wind into the house, turned around, took off his cloak, and put a deerstalker hat on his head. head on.
"Good evening, everyone." He put down his hand and revealed his young face. The young man first looked at the people in the room one by one with his penetrating eyes, and then smiled, "I came here without saying anything. I'm sorry, but the situation is urgent, I hope you can forgive me."
He looked around the room again, focusing on Karasawa, Amuro Toru and others, before pulling out a pocket watch from his arms. , glanced at the time.
“I don’t like to play such a role, but this time, I have to tell you a very unfortunate news. Mr. Nishiyama Wu, whose online name is ‘Escape King’, has been confirmed by the police this afternoon , died at home. Not only that, there was also a message saying "This is the first" left by a person who called himself "Shadow Mage". Police investigation found that he was originally here to participate in a magic show. A gathering of enthusiasts.”
Closing his pocket watch, he moved his arm, moved the eagle standing there to his shoulder, and announced calmly: "Everyone, all of you are in danger now."
"What, What..."
"Mr. Nishiyama is dead?"
His words were very shocking, and almost everyone in the room showed varying degrees of shock or panic.
Only Conan and Tang Ze frowned slightly and did not give too strong a reaction.
There were many people in the field who were in abnormal moods at this time. Conan's calmness came from the detective's proficiency, so did Takesuki Doi's panic, and there was also surprise about the identity of the person who appeared. Toru Amuro's shock was a kind of The natural reaction to the over-the-top acting was not actually shocking, but rather a sense of relief that the other shoe had finally landed.
As for Tangze, if he wasn't confused about the visitor, he might not even frown.
Almost the moment he saw this face and dress, Tang Ze recognized the other party's identity.
With brown curly hair, brown-red eyes, a face that is also of mixed race, and a dress that is highly similar to the image of Sherlock Holmes, this is a high school detective from the UK, Detective White Horse.
Theoretically, it’s also from Kuroba Kaito’s old enemy.
...I have to say that this swaggering colleague has quite a few old enemies.
It was precisely because he recognized it that he was particularly confused.
When did this guy come back and how did he get involved in this case? In theory, he should be focused on the one kid and have no interest in ordinary security cases? Could it be that he had discovered Kuroba Kaito's identity and even tracked him to such a wilderness?
The White Horse Detective immediately captured Conan and Tangze whose reactions seemed a bit dull.
His eyes directly passed over the short primary school student and locked on Tangze's face.
Bai Ma Tan smiled, raised his hands and made a downward movement: "Everyone, calm down. One of you has been killed, and now even if the prisoner is not among you, there is a high probability that he is watching nearby. It is better to panic than to panic. , I think you should first understand the situation and each other's identities to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
His tone was not aggressive, but his eyes were always fixed on Tang Ze, which was obvious. , His words are full of pertinence.
Watching the changes in the situation, Kuroba Kaito's eyebrows twitched, and he had already guessed the purpose of Hakuba Tan's visit.
The high school detective who promised to catch Kaito Kidd has a very clear purpose of returning to his country. Tang Ze, who was accompanying him, was not on the original party list, and his height and gender matched very well with Tan Baima's speculation. This seemed to be a suspicion.
"No, compared to this kind of thing, who are you?" Kuroba Kaito rolled his eyes, "You suddenly ran here and suddenly said some inexplicable words, how did you know it? News? Are you a police officer?”
When he spoke at this time, he not only meant to excuse Tang Ze, but also showed genuine irritation.
Before he could find out the information clearly, unexpected people appeared one after another. The nature of this party had changed from him coming to see the situation out of interest and need, to an outright trouble.
It must be a troublesome thing if the White Horse Detective doubts himself, but if the White Horse Detective does not doubt himself and instead suspects Karasawa and Toru Amuro, even if he knows that Karasawa has many solutions, maybe he can still In turn, he tricked Baima Tan, but when he thought that he owed Tang Ze a favor, he felt that there were some things that he really didn't need others to do for him.
"Of course I am not a policeman. My name is Bai Ma Detective, and I am a detective." Bai Ma Detective responded with a confident smile to his choking, "You may not know me, but it doesn't matter, you just need to know that I am Bai Ma Just be the son of the police chief. "Unlike Hattori Heiji, a rebellious boy who is keen to prove himself and relies on his father's influence, as a Hakuba detective who grew up with an elite education and considered himself good enough, his family and connections are very important. It is never something that needs to be covered up. When necessary, it will only become an aid and nourishment.
Like it is now.
As soon as his words came out, everyone involuntarily showed expressions of conviction.
The son of the police chief is also a detective, so it is not surprising that he knows the police investigation.
"I think there is no need for you to refuse my proposal." Putting the pocket watch into his pocket, the white horse detective casually threw the cloak that blocked the wind and snow on the clothes hanger at the door, "The road here has been cut off. , It’s snowing heavily now, and even with a helicopter, the visibility is very low. You won’t be able to wait for rescue before sunrise tomorrow. If you don’t understand the situation, the matter may not be solved, what do you think?” >
"...The visibility is very low, and rescue cannot get in." After repeating this sentence, Amuro Toru twitched the corner of his mouth when he realized something, "So, Mr. Hakuba, how did you come here? What is your purpose?" What? Do you suspect that the murderer is hidden among us?"
Matsuda stayed near the suspension bridge and did not leave until the bridge was vandalized.
If the other party comes through the normal route, it will definitely attract Matsuda's attention. There is no reason for a wild white horse to suddenly appear at this time.
“Ah, I ziplined directly from the helicopter.” Pressing the brim of his hat, Bai Ma Tan looked modest, “As for the purpose...I’m sorry, although I will accept some police commission, but this case is actually just a coincidence, and it happens to overlap with the target of my investigation."
"I am indeed here to find someone, but..." He raised his hand and pointed. The sharp point passed across the room full of people with different expressions, "I suspect that one of you is the target I am trying to hunt down, Kaitou Kidd."
"Huh?!"< br>
————
“It’s such a mess...”
Standing on the terrace on the second floor, Kuroba Kaito looked down at the few people walking out of the door together, helplessly Patted his forehead.
Baima Tan’s statement was too shocking. He was young, and Huang Yi was still somewhat unable to accept the reality.
So before formally organizing the conversation, he decided to take Hamano Toshiya, who had a little technical background, Amuro Toru, who claimed to be a communications worker, and helpers, while the snow was not too heavy to go out. When the time comes, go check the phone lines and suspension bridges for yourself.
Others don't know, but Kuroba Kaito himself knows very well that the White Horse Detective will not make mistakes, and what he said is definitely true.
When a few people return to the villa, everyone will start playing Werewolf. He must seize the time to strengthen his disguise...
At this time, the shortcomings of transforming into a fat man are exposed. There was so much work to do that he had to find a skilled colleague to assist...
"Why don't you take the opportunity to take a sip?" He arranged his clothes and added more stuff. The cotton-rich Karasawa whispered.
“Huh?” Kuroba Kaito looked away, not understanding what he meant.
The Japanese word Micha Kucha, which expresses chaos, does indeed describe a stirred mess similar to Chinese, but it is also somewhat inconsistent with the logic of taking a bite. Very few people can connect with Karasawa's meme.
Karazawa didn't mean to explain, but just gestured in the direction of the window: "What's going on with Detective White Horse? Is that guy one of the detectives chasing after you? I remember, he is not in Japan. Let's move here, why did you suddenly come back?"
"This is the embodiment of the Kaito's charm, isn't it?" Kuroba Kaito said in amusement as he quickly erased the traces on the edge of the mask. Then he glanced at Tang Ze with a condemning look, "I think you are responsible for this matter."
"What does it have to do with me? What you said is a bit unreasonable." Tang Ze pointed innocently He himself rolled the cotton wool on his fingertips into strands and tied a small knot on the stuffing under Kuroba Kaito's clothes, "Our Phantom Thief of Hearts is a criminal case, your case is civil, and Detective White Horse will never notice. Us?”
In this world, the real enemy of the Phantom Thief of Heart should be the winery, or the villain organizations that had many conflicts with the Black Feather Thief before he disappeared. Not until the detective comes.
Everyone's positions are fundamentally similar, but the differences in methods are due to differences in concepts. If you say that there is a possibility of a civil war based on differences of ideas like fighting the Avengers or the Justice League, chasing after them is a bit exaggerated.
"He really has no interest in the Phantom Thief of the Heart. The question is, why do you want to create a setting like 'a genius high school detective who returned from studying abroad'." When mentioning this matter, Kuroba Kaito's eyebrows were beating wildly, "Hakuba Detective is not inactive in the country. He has heard Goro Akechi's name too many times, so of course he is not convinced."
Kangze thought seriously for a moment, I found that I really couldn't refute it.
After careful calculation, except that the style of Detective Hakuba is more similar to that of several other high school detectives, which is more public, his and Akechi Goro's settings really conflict with each other.
Mixed children of the same age, with the same background of studying abroad, they also have the same excellent appearance and pretentious crime-solving style, and even the hair color is quite similar.
As for Hakuba Tan's background of coming from a family of high-ranking police officials, others don't know it. People in the police and political circles are more or less familiar with Akechi Goro's background. Even if they don't know about his relationship with Tonguchi Shigehiko, they have heard about Akechi Goro's background. My father is also a politician.
In terms of hardware conditions alone, the two of them can really compete well. It is completely expected that some people will give up.
Kuroba Kaito pinched his brows and put the fake skin more closely on his face: "Your stats have been too high recently, and it has something to do with the Toto Tower incident... Now even many police officers have begun to make similar statements. "
With the continued activities of the two people, this matter has become more and more popular. I heard that the media is already ready to save money for them. In this game, let’s do some ultimate showdown gimmick.
With a supportive family background and outstanding personal abilities, Baima Tan is at a high-spirited age, how can he withstand this kind of stimulation.
"This is not something I can control." Karasawa's expression became more innocent, "Some people are building momentum for Akechi Goro, and I don't want to do that either?"
What if Akechi Goro wants to fight with the Phantom Thief in the future? For the group to have a deeper intersection, first of all, Goro Akechi’s voice must be loud enough to attract the attention of the Phantom Thieves and attract them to contact him.
Out of similar considerations, Rum has recently been using his resources to provide Kumail with resources, and the funds for him and Bourbon have also been greatly relaxed. Karasawa is sure of this kind of thing There is no reason to refuse.
"But in the end, Hakuba Tan transferred to my school?!" Kuroba Kaito gritted his teeth, "It was obviously your fault, why is it my unlucky one? He can't go to Emperor Dan. "
"What should I do? How about you go to school overnight to steal his student status file..."
"Hey! Then you're not asking for it!"
"Okay, okay, calm down, you're just a detective, you can be solved easily, don't worry. If he really arrests you, I'll rob you Prison car."
"Can you think of me?"
