Conan's grammatical investigator

In the hotel room, Qin Zhibo and his "sunspot" - the stand-in messenger are still practicing particle transformation.

From the afternoon to the evening, the particle technology has been upgraded to level 3, and now it can pass through the 0.5cm thick glass door of the bathroom.

The density of glass is 2.5, which is slightly higher than that of stone, and can almost be regarded as a substitute for stone.

But it is still far from enough to pass through a door made of steel at this level.

At this time, Qin Zhibo thought of Sawada Hiroki who was far away in another world.

If you have the power of Sawada Hiroki's next-generation artificial intelligence, you can easily crack the security system of the casino, and you can enter the vault without even needing an identity card.

It's a pity that 12 midnight tomorrow is the preview time, and it's too late to go back to Japan now.

Qin Zhibo also asked Kuroyu Qianying why he didn't choose daytime. Doesn't that "black crow in the night" have to be exposed to light all the time?
The explanation given by Kuroba Chikage is that the casino city of Las Vegas is a city that never sleeps. Even at midnight, there is enough light over the city.

And because the casino side refuses the police to enter the vault to catch the strange thief crow, the Las Vegas police will arrange large searchlights on the tall buildings outside the casino.

With the lights of these searchlights, there is no need to worry about insufficient light.

This is why Chikage Kuroba used her identity as the Phantom Thief Crow to give the police the impression that the Phantom Thief Crow can use gliders.

Qin Zhibo was still practicing particleization when the music program on the TV in the living room suddenly stopped and became an urgent news break.

"Interlude an urgent news. At 7:20 tonight, many citizens witnessed the appearance of Kaito Kidd in the sky above Las Vegas, and took a video..."

A blurry, shaky video popped up on the TV screen. The sounds in the video included the screams of passers-by, and the main character of the video was a small white dot that slowly crossed across the night sky.

Immediately afterwards, the news anchor returned to the TV screen again and continued to report.

"At the same time, the Las Vegas Police Department received a notice letter from Phantom Thief Kidd, which stated that Phantom Thief Kidd would receive the black diamond 'Black Crow in the Night' at midnight tomorrow..."

"This preview time coincides with the strange thief crow not long ago..."

"A spokesperson for the Las Vegas Police Department stated that the police are currently in contact with Interpol..."

Qin Zhibo stood in front of the TV and saw the news.

It's 8:10, and half an hour has passed since Kaitou Kidd's first test flight.

As for the high-profile appearance in the public eye before the crime started this time, Qin Zhibo also guessed the reason.

If he just sent a warning letter with a smiley face to the police station, the police would probably think it was a prank. After all, Kaitou Kidd has not committed crimes outside of Japan after his "resurrection".

There are even rumors that Kaito Kidd is actually a Japanese, and even lives in Tokyo, Japan.

Because the first show of the "resurrected" Phantom Thief Kidd was in Tokyo, Japan, and the activities were almost in the Tokyo area.

But such a statement is not advisable. After all, the place where Kaito Kidd first appeared was Paris, France 18 years ago.

"Forget it, let's continue practicing mine..."

After Qin Zhibo finished reading the news, he turned around and continued to train his skills.

But compared with Qin Zhibo, Ginzo Nakamori, who is far away in Tokyo, Japan, cannot be calm.

He had a day off today and was sitting at home with his daughter Aoko, watching TV and having lunch. He happened to see the latest developments of Kaitou Kidd being reported on the TV news.

"...a spokesman for the Las Vegas Police Department stated that the Las Vegas Police will do whatever it takes to bring Kidd down on American soil..."

Hearing this, Nakamori Ginzo, who was still chewing vegetable leaves in his mouth, was so angry that he immediately slapped the table and stood up.

"No! I'm going to Las Vegas!"

"Phantom Thief Kidd is mine!"

Aoko Nakamori next to him hurriedly advised, "Father~ your English is not good, and you have been to the United States and you don't know the place where you live. How can you catch Kaitou Kidd?"

"But..." Nakamori Ginzo was still unwilling.

"It's nothing to worry about. The Kaitou Kidd will definitely not be caught so easily. After all, Dad has been caught for so many years, hasn't he?"

Aoko Nakamori's words awakened the dreamer, her daughter was right.

If the Kaitou Kidd was caught by an outsider, wouldn't that be equivalent to denying his 18 years of hard work?

I'm not trash, so Kaitou Kidd isn't trash either.

Kaito Kidd is not a waste, so he will not be caught by the Las Vegas police.

The only one who can catch Kaitou Kidd is me!

Thinking of this, Nakamori Ginzo instantly regained his composure, tilted his head and looked at the time, mentally calculating the time at midnight in Las Vegas, USA.

But at this moment, he found that there was one person missing at the dinner table.

"Qingzi, why didn't Kaito come?"

Ever since Kaito's mother traveled abroad, Kuroba Kaito would often come to Nakamori's house to have dinner on his days off. In the past two months, Nakamori Ginzo had become a habit, as if he had been doing this for many years.

"Kaito went to Las Vegas to meet his mother, didn't I tell you yesterday?"

"Oh……"

Ginzo Nakamori lowered his head and thought for a moment, his expression changed suddenly, and he realized something.

"Aoko, does Kaito know anything about Kaito Kid?"

"It's okay, I usually discuss it occasionally in school..."

"That's fine! Aoko, call Kaito right away."

Qing Zi, who was eating, looked up at his suddenly serious father, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Dad?"

Nakamori Ginzo said with a serious face: "Since Kaito is in Las Vegas now, let Kaito record a video of Kaito Kidd committing crimes for me."

Qingzi was speechless for a while, "Dad~ he's traveling, besides, it's such a dangerous place, why do you ask Kaito to join in the fun?"

Nakamori Ginzo put his face in front of Aoko and shook his head repeatedly, "It's not dangerous, it's not dangerous. Kaitou Kidd never kills anyone. I guarantee this with my personality."

"Besides, I did this to catch Kaitou Kidd as soon as possible. I believe Kaito can understand my good intentions."

Seeing her father talking about this, Aoko Nakamori could only agree.

"Okay, let me give it a try..."

……

Las Vegas, Star Hotel.

Kaito Kuroba sat comfortably on the sofa, looking at the big news he made with admiration.

In just one hour, the news that Kaito Kidd appeared in Las Vegas appeared on various TV channels, crowding out the normal program time.

Some channels have even started broadcasting the special program "Phantom Thief Kidd vs. Phantom Thief Crow" in the form of live broadcast, taking advantage of the popularity of the topic to earn a wave of ratings.

"Phantom Thief Kidd chose the same time as Phantom Thief Crow to steal the same target. What is the purpose?"

"Let's ask Mr. Jimmy Carter, a professor of criminology at the University of Nevada, to explain to us..."

A potbellied man in a brown suit came from off-screen, shook the host's hand, and sat in a chair.

It can be seen that this program was temporarily produced by the TV station to gain popularity, and many lines and actions were not proficient.

But this does not affect Kuroba Kaito watching the show with great interest.

This can be regarded as some of Kuroba Kaito's little habits, which is to look at the comments of netizens on the Internet.

This process is quite interesting, like a magician reviewing the audience's applause after a magic show.

In contrast, he seldom watches TV, because TV is the voice channel of the mainstream media, and he is naturally criticized in various ways.

As the heir to the cultural IP of "Kaitou Kidd", Kuroba Kaito watched with interest as the two middle-aged men on TV speculated about his relationship with Kaitou Crow.

As expected of a professor of criminology at the University of Nevada, the incident only took place for more than an hour, and he summarized the following possibilities.

[-]. Phantom Thief Kidd and Phantom Thief Crow are in a competitive relationship, and they jointly snatch the "Black Crow in the Night"

Second, Kaitou Crow is the imitator of Kaito Kidd, because Kaitou Crow only appeared recently, while Kaitou Kidd appeared 18 years ago. Kaitou Kidd wanted to use this method to meet his imitator brother.

Third, the Kaitou Kidd and the Kaitou Crow are a group, and they want to use this method to achieve some ulterior purpose.

"Then Mr. Carter, which of these three possibilities do you think is the most likely?" the host asked.

Jimmy Carter shook his big belly and said: "According to my current analysis, I personally think that the most likely thing is..."

Kuroba Kaito was watching with interest when the phone suddenly rang.

He quickly used the remote control to turn down the volume, picked up the phone and saw that it was a Japanese number, and the number looked familiar.

"Hey?"

"Is it Kaito? I'm Aoko..."

"Qingzi, what's the matter? If you want special products, I'll bring them to you when I go back..."

Kuroba Kaito wanted to deal with Cha Gang quickly, but Aoko told Kuroba Kaito what Nakamori Ginzo entrusted just now.

"How is it? Kaito, is it convenient?"

Hei Yu quickly rolled his eyes, and replied: "Okay, then let's leave it at that, there's nothing else to do?"

Kuroba Kaito couldn't wait to see what the criminology professor on TV said, but Nakamori Aoko's voice became twisted at this time.

"Kaito, if you meet a beautiful girl in Las Vegas, you..."

"I?"

"... Forget it, you rat tail juice, I'm dead!"

"Hello? Hello!"

Before Kuroba Kaito could ask what beautiful girl he met, Aoko on the other side hung up the phone.

Kuroba Kaito glanced at the phone, said "It's weird" in his mouth, and quickly turned on the TV.

But at this time, the TV host had already shook hands with the professor and stood up to say goodbye to the audience.

"Then viewers, let us wait and see what the outcome of the confrontation between the two monster thieves will be tomorrow!"

Kuroba Kaito: "Gan!"

……

The next day.

From the morning onwards, Las Vegas began to flood with a large number of tourists.

Most of this is because the news about Kaito Kidd's appearance in Las Vegas was broadcast on Pan American TV last night, and he came from afar to chase stars.

Unlike the recently debuted Phantom Thief Crow, Phantom Thief Kidd is an old Internet celebrity in the thieves world, and his fan appeal around the world is not indiscriminate.

Kuroba Kaito stood on the balcony of the hotel, looking at the endless stream of vehicles downstairs, he felt elated.

After a while, Konosuke Terai came back from the outside and brought a set of women's clothing.

"These are the brands that Madam usually wears. I have bought them while hiding my identity..."

Since Chikage Kuroba is going to cosplay at night, the costumes must be done first.

Kaito Kuroba quickly closed the curtains, unwrapped the package, tore off the labels, and changed into one piece of feminine clothing after another, and finally a black evening dress.

Soon, a brand new women's version of Kaito Kuroba appeared.

Putting on Kuroba Chikage's human skin mask, Kuroba Kaito becomes a real "fake girl".

After twirling around in front of the full-length mirror, Kuroba Kaito was very satisfied with his skills as a transvestite. It was his most successful disguise as a female character.

"Seamless~"

Next, Kaito Kuroba checked his various equipment again. During the test flight yesterday, everything was almost in order, and there was nothing wrong with it.

After changing back into his original clothes, Kuroba Kaito moved to the window and couldn't help but think of tonight's opponent.

Phantom Thief Crow, what are you doing now?

……

At this time, in another room of the Starry Sky Hotel, Qin Zhibo was also checking the box that Chikage Kuroba had just sent.

Opening the box, there were all kinds of Kaito Kidd's equipment inside, but they were all black.

Black cloak, black paraglider folder, black top hat, black suit...

There is a lot of equipment inside, but there is no poker gun, the iconic Kaitou Kidd equipment.

Qin Zhibo put on these equipment and put on the human skin mask that Heiyu Qianying used when stealing things, and immediately transformed into a gentleman in black.

"Black Feather Thief...is this what he looks like?"

Qin Zhibo looked at himself in the mirror, with a handsome face with sharp edges and corners, and a straight suit that outlined a male model's figure. This was made by Kuroba Chikage based on her husband's appearance.

In addition to these, Kuroba Chikage also sent a voice changer.

The voice changer is tied around the neck, and it is almost exactly the same as the collar-shaped voice changer invented by Dr. A Li. Qin Zhibo seriously doubts that it is the same one.

But Qin Zhibo didn't need this, he could just change his voice, and there was no need to reveal his identity to Kuroba Kaito anyway.

After tidying up his attire for tonight, Qin Zhibo changed back to his normal clothes and put away all the black shirts.

Now, after working hard last night in the middle of the night, he has cultivated his particle skills to level 4, and he will definitely be able to reach level 5 before midnight.

With level 5 particleization, passing through iron gates that are not too thick must not be a problem.

But the problem is that Qin Zhibo is now worried about what if he doesn't withdraw in time and is locked in by the casino's security system?
Even if you can pass through the iron gate, you still need preparation time to enter the particle state, and you can't just leave.

Thinking in his heart, Qin Zhibo decided to try the Kunyang people's weapon - the disintegration ray gun.

Although this disintegrating ray gun is high-tech, Qin Zhibo studied it carefully after returning home, and found that this thing is actually not too high-end.

The bullets needed inside are actually electricity.
