Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 477: Kaito Kidd's Theft Scene

Time passed quickly.

This day was another day that made the whole Jianggutian boil:

Kaito Kidd is coming to Jianggutian to steal things again!
As a thief who has fans in nearly half of Japan, it’s hard not to be excited…

As for why again?
Because Ekoda has always been a high-incidence area for Kaito Kid, although he has not committed crimes here for a long time in the past two months, Ekoda and the citizens of Tokyo still welcome him very much.

even……

The media also broadcast the scene of the police's roundup of Kaito Kidd live, allowing residents across the country to "appreciate" Kaito Kid's "heroic presence"... and by the way, let everyone see the incompetence of the police.

——In fact, the above purposes should be reversed, but every time Kaito Kidd fights against the police, the police are always the losers.

Therefore, apart from the policemen who think they feel good, there are many people who are speechless about this kind of live broadcast...especially the detectives.

For example, there is Mr. Ke who became interested in Kaito Kid because of incomplete information.

Conan originally wanted to call on his revolutionary comrades far away in Osaka to come and block Kid together, but today is a rare school day... So because of lack of time, Hattori Heiji can only watch the live broadcast in Osaka.

Because Conan showed a strong interest in Kaito Kid, although Mouri Ran was fascinated, she still agreed to his unreasonable request and brought Conan to the vicinity of the scene.

The leading police officer in charge of the scene was still an old acquaintance of his: Ginzo Nakamori.

Besides him, there is another...

"Isn't this... Conan from Mr. Maori's house?"

A slightly doubtful voice came from behind Conan.

Conan, who sneaked in, was startled. When he turned around, he was surprised: "Bai, Bai Ma brother?"

Behind him was the meticulously dressed Baima detective in a suit.

The only time Conan and Hakuba Tanjiro met was last time... ahem, last time at the Twilight Villa.

But both of them had a very deep impression of each other - Conan was mainly impressed by Hakuba's love of telling time accurately to the second, and the eagle named Watson; Hakuba's was because he had seen Conan's analysis of the crime scene, so he also paid a lot of attention to it.

Then, Conan saw Hakuba open his pocket watch:
"The current time is 19:23:48'6. There is a loophole in the security defense... It seems that the action against Kidd this time is not ideal."

Conan: "..."

No, it's not a vulnerability, it's a patch.

…but that’s not the point!
"Um, Brother Hakuba, why did you come to catch Kid this time?" Conan asked curiously.

As far as I can remember, Detective Hakuba, the son of the Superintendent of Police, had lived in the UK before, right?
Hakuba Tan didn't hesitate to answer Conan's question: "Kid? I just noticed this thief... The one I really want to catch is someone else."

"Are there others?" Conan frowned, smelling an unusual scent, but he saw that Bai Batan's eyes had also darkened, so he did not continue to ask, and instead said:

"By the way, Brother Bai Ma, isn't Watson here with you today?"

"Watson? Of course it has its own duties. And it will definitely feel uncomfortable in such a crowded room, so I let Watson wait outside."

The two chatted for a few more minutes.

Now, there are only three minutes left until the scheduled time of 7:30.

During this period, Ginzo Nakamori, one of the police leaders who was capturing Kaito Kid, also noticed Conan and Hakuba Tan, two living people.

One is an elementary school student with strong reasoning ability, and the other is the son of a superior who also has strong reasoning ability. So Officer Nakamori...

Of course, they chose to confidently introduce the preparations they made today at the Jianggutian Art Museum.

"...In addition to the infrared equipment below, we have more than 200 police officers deployed in the museum! And there are two police helicopters in the sky...In such a narrow place, Kaito Kidd will never succeed in getting the bronze statue and escaping!"

Officer Nakamori spoke with full confidence, but after Conan and Hakuba inquired, they both fell silent.

The purple gem in the right eye of the bronze statue in the center flashed with light, as if it was shedding tears.

"Officer Nakamori, don't you have any personnel in the basement?"

"Ah? The basement is full of far-infrared high-tech equipment. It's absolutely impossible for Kaito Kidd to break through from there!"

Seeing Ginzo Nakamori's solemn promise, Conan and Hakuba Tan sighed at the same time.

I really don’t understand why the police still don’t learn their lesson even though they have been fooled by Kaito Kid so many times?

Not stealing all the police's underwear can be considered as a kind act on Kidd's part, right?

……

basement.

Kuroba Kaito, who was about to pry open the exhaust duct, sneezed.

"Strange...is it too cold here?"

He blew his nose and pushed open the vent window with force.

Kuroba Kaito was wearing pure white Phantom Thief costume at the moment. Perhaps because the hat was glued on, the hat could not fall off even though his body was parallel to the ground.

After coming out of the ventilation duct, he was not in a hurry at all. He calmly took out a pair of infrared glasses and put them on. After seeing the dense infrared rays in front of him, he whistled: "Wow~ It's so scary, there are so many... Fortunately, I have replaced a batch of new props recently."

After a sigh, Kuroba Kaito took out a crossbow with a suction cup handle from his pocket, adjusted the angle slightly, and pulled the trigger.

The suction cup is connected to a wire that passes through the gap in the far-infrared and is firmly nailed to the ceiling.

Kaito then tied the other end of the rope to a raised hook under the vent - and a road in the air was formed.

"Am I really the greatest thief in the world?"

Kuroba Kaito thought happily in his heart.

But that alone is not enough.

He is now only active in Tokyo, and there is still a big gap between him and his father who used to steal all over the world... He still has to keep working hard.

...Eh, that's not right. He didn't seem to think this way when he first became Kaito Kid?

What was his thinking at the time?

Kuroba Kaito was halfway up when he suddenly fell into deep thought...

But immediately, two familiar voices came from below, pulling him back to reality from his contemplation:
"At 19:28:27:36, Kaito Kidd was found in the basement."

"Kaito Kidd, you have nowhere to escape now, just surrender!"

Kuroba Kaito: "..."

He turned back silently.

Oh, isn't this his old classmate who was secretly photographed by Uncle Ren yesterday? Why is Conan here too?

Could it be that Uncle Lie came here to trick him again?
Kuroba Kaito was deeply impressed by Rei who made stealing more difficult for him last time in Osaka.

"Don't be ridiculous... If you want to catch me, Kaito Kidd, you can come and try."

Kuroba Kaito climbed on the rope in mid-air and sneered.
