Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 97 Kaito Kidd's Teleportation Magic (Part )

Afterwards, Jirokichi Suzuki, Inspector Nakamori, and Conan discussed the principles of Kidd's magic in the room.

Originally, several people guessed that Kidd should have been hiding in the building, but his partner passed the jewel sandals to him with a fishing line.

However, Jiro Suzuki pointed out that in the video shot by the media, there were handprints of bodyguards on Kidd's cloak in two places, proving that the Kidd appearing in these two places was undoubtedly Kidd himself.

"So, does that mean he really ran from the bottom of the building to the top in less than twenty seconds?"

The next day arrived amid everyone's confusion.

On the way home from school, the three children thought that Kid might really have some super powers, but Conan firmly opposed this conjecture.

Hui Yuan thought Conan's current appearance was very interesting: "You seem to be having a lot of fun too."

"It looked like a child who was eager to open a present."

The little girl recalled and said, "If Uncle Servi could just disappear and reappear as an escape trick, he could do it, but I've never seen him go straight from downstairs to upstairs."

Conan then remembered that the adventurer had a magic consultant, and the little girl must know him. "So what does Uncle Servi think of Kidd's magic?"

"Although Uncle Servi didn't say anything, I saw him talking to Uncle Kurt yesterday and he looked very confident."

"Ah, and he said Kaito Kidd wants to challenge the Three Principles of Thurston."

"What are Thurston's Three Principles?" the three little ones came over and asked.

"It seems like there are three major taboos for magicians: never reveal the secrets of your tricks, never tell the audience what the trick is about in advance, and never perform the same trick repeatedly in front of the same audience."

Huiyuan: "So it seems that this Kaito-san intends to challenge the Three Principles of Thurston."

Conan gave a confident smile: "Then I will never let him succeed."

It was soon night, but this time Suzuki Jirokichi had set up a net in advance, not allowing onlookers and TV crews to enter. The rest of the security work was left to Inspector Nakamori.

Out of boredom, Sonoko started watching the screen recording from last night.

Xiaolan asked in confusion: "I used to find it strange. Why does Kaito Kid always wear white clothes? Obviously, black would be better for night activities."

"Needless to say, it must be Mr. Kidd who is fearless and loves flamboyance."

However, the voice card sent by Kidd said that he was not motivated without an audience and a TV stage, so he decided to cancel the magic show tonight.

Kidd's fans were not convinced and rushed forward, tearing through the nets and ignoring the police blockade to enter the center of the intersection. Now only the police officers in front of the display case could play a role.

The TV station staff were also allowed in. The adventurer and the magician walked calmly into the crowd, and Conan noticed them.

"Hey, Uncle Servi, do you already know the principle behind Kaito Kid's teleportation magic?"

"Every magician's methods and techniques are different. If you come to me just to know the principles behind them, I won't tell you."

"Eh?"

"Although he is a magician and a thief at the same time, as a colleague, of course I have to help him keep his secret. This is the rule of the industry." The magician looked at Conan with a smile.

Conan, realizing he couldn't get any hints from the magician, had to figure it out on his own. Shortly after Conan left, he was challenged by Kaito Kid: "My magic won't be seen through, even if it violates the three Thurston Principles."

Conan's inner thoughts: My colleagues have clearly seen through me. Although I haven't discovered the truth yet, I'll let you be proud for a while.

After a while, Kidd sent out a voice card indicating that he would continue the magic show.

While reviewing Kidd's performance yesterday, Conan discovered a clue. There was a display screen on a building next to the intersection with subtitles scrolling on it. The subtitles seen in yesterday's video seemed to be a little different from those seen now.

As night fell, Kidd landed on top of the display case, just as he had done the day before, and took the remaining jeweled sandal. He then repeated his trick, donning a black robe and launching the card as he was hoisted up the building. Just as he was feeling proud, Conan appeared on top of the building.

"What a shame! I'm afraid tonight's magic show was all in vain."

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Kidd immediately notified his companions to throw away the heavy object hanging on the other end of the pulley, which allowed him to stop at the position of the display screen.

Conan explained the principle of his magic to Kidd: "I finally figured out why you wore such an eye-catching and unreasonable white outfit in front of everyone."

"It's just a simple disguise. If something white disappears from sight, people will subconsciously look for something white. The rapid transition from white to black can fool most people."

Kidd, feeling somewhat helpless, had to tear off the black robe in the center of the display screen, exposing himself to everyone's sight.

Conan wanted to persuade Kidd to surrender, after all, if he came up, his accomplices would be caught. But unexpectedly, Kidd opened his glider directly from this position, pulling his accomplice beside him and passing over the net.

At the same time, the pair of jeweled sandals were hung on the railing of the building by silk thread. After all, this was not the jewel that Kidd was looking for.

At this time, no one noticed that the magician and adventurer in the crowd had disappeared.

In the distance, Kaito Kid and Terai Huang Zhisuke landed in a remote corner.

"Oh, wonderful! Mr. Kaito Kidd and his assistant escaped from under the nose of Kidd's nemesis, but the challenge to the Three Principles of Thurston still ended in failure. What a pity."

The pen in the adventurer's hand was almost emitting sparks. It was not difficult to see that he was writing the manuscript desperately while running over here.

"Ah, are you the editor-in-chief of the newspaper who interviewed me yesterday? You didn't come here just to arrest me, did you?" Kidd stopped Mr. Terai who was about to take action.

"That's the police's job. He's hoping you can make some big news so he can earn more royalties." The magician raised his hat to signal.

"So what do you two want from me? I'm sure this colleague isn't just here to mock me for failing to challenge Thurston's Three Principles."

"Of course not. I have some clues about the gem 'Pandora' that you have been looking for."

"What did you say?" Kidd was quite surprised. He didn't understand how the person in front of him knew the information about the gem he had been looking for.

"Oh, of course. This is a deal. We need you to go to a certain ship to retrieve what we need. Once you get the thing, we will give you the clue." The magician took out an envelope with a blue wax seal on it.

Kidd took the envelope, opened it, and saw an admission ticket and a letter inside.

"Of course you can refuse. After all, this voyage is quite risky."

"I will go." Kaito Kidd glanced at the request in the letter and showed a determined look.
