Conan's grammatical investigator

The disintegrating ray gun uses electricity, Qin Zhibo is not just guessing.

First of all, in Satori, the city of Kunyang people, electricity is the main source of energy, and silver cables can be seen everywhere in the city.

It's just that the electricity they use may be a little more advanced than humans, using technologies such as room temperature superconductivity.

Secondly, the magazine of this gun is similar to a battery, and there are two pin-type sockets at the bottom, which coincides with the electrical sockets in Sato's apartment.

This kind of socket does not have a power socket with corresponding specifications, but it can be connected directly with wires.

Early in the morning, Qin Zhibo went out to the hardware store to buy wires and rectifiers.

A rectifier is a gadget that converts alternating current to direct current. It is actually a diode inside, and the output of the diode can be converted to direct current.

As for why direct current is used, it is because it charges faster than alternating current. Qin Zhibo guessed that Kunyang people most likely used direct current.

Qin Zhibo used two wires to connect the battery of the disintegrating ray gun in series with the rectifier, and then plug the rectifier into the socket.

For safety's sake, Qin Zhibo let Harumi Minase control the decoy puppet to complete this step, while his own body stood far away.

"Wait a minute! I'll stand a little further away..."

Qin Zhibo came to the toilet farthest from the socket in the bedroom, showing half of his head and directing Minase Harumi.

"Okay, let's start."

Minase Harumi inserted the rectifier into the socket, and for a moment, the light in the room suddenly trembled.

Immediately afterwards, the lights of the entire hotel flickered on and off.

In the hotel lobby, the hotel receptionist and tourists all looked up at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, which turned on and off for a while, not understanding what was going on.

Upon seeing this, the hotel lobby manager immediately used the intercom to contact the backstage to inquire about the situation.

In the casino, the music stopped suddenly, the lights suddenly went out, and the gamblers who were spending a lot of money stopped placing bets and turned to look around.

Among them, Kuroba Chikage looked at the flickering lights above her head, secretly thinking that Kuroba Kaito and Terai Konosuke were testing the power source here to prepare for the night's action.

However, Chikage Kuroba has thoroughly studied the power system here. The security system and the treasury are powered independently, and it is useless to destroy the hotel's power supply.

Kaito Kuroba and Konosuke Terai, the master and servant, were still in the room discussing the escape route at night, when the light above their heads suddenly began to dance wildly.

The master and servant looked at each other, and Kuroba Kaito immediately realized what was going on.

"It's Kaitou Crow! He's testing the hotel's power system!"

Terai Konosuke murmured: "Looks like there will be a power outage at night? But wouldn't he startle the snake by doing so? The casino will definitely be on guard..."

"So this person is just a newbie~"

Kuroba Kaito showed a confident smile, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, he also reminded us that we can bring more night vision goggles..."

……

Qin Zhibo in the room didn't know that his plugging affected not only his room, but also the power supply of the entire hotel.

But this effect didn't last long. Half a minute later, everything was normal and the lights stabilized.

Qin Zhibo walked to the disintegration ray gun and found that the green energy bar on it was flashing, and it should be charging.

"It's done!"

Qin Zhibo clapped his hands excitedly. This thing is much more powerful than a pistol, and it can be called a big killer.

Now he was more sure of what to do in the evening.

……

At 11 midnight, a large crowd watched in front of the Starry Sky Hotel.

"Kid! Kid!"

"Kid—"

The crowd held makeshift light signs of various colors and shouted into the sky, and the Las Vegas police had to maintain order at the scene again and again.

Kuroba Kaito stood on the balcony, looking down with satisfaction.

Since his debut as the second-generation Phantom Thief Kid, he has never performed a "magic show" outside of Japan.

In other words, these are the original fans accumulated by the first-generation Kaitou Kidd and Kuroba Thiouichi.

In contrast, the Phantom Thief Crow's support team was much smaller, huddled at the edge of the square downstairs, holding up light signs here and there.

After so many years, Kaitou Kidd still has absolute popularity in the thieves world.

This shows how excellent the former Black Feather Pirate One was, and he deserves to be the person he admired the most in his life.

"It's almost time, Master."

With a reminder from Terai Konosuke behind him, Kaito Kuroba retracted his body, took the bag handed by Terai Konosuke, and embarked on the journey.

He first went to the toilet in the lobby on the first floor to change into the hotel waiter's clothes, then went to the kitchen to pick up a dining car, and headed towards the top floor of the hotel.

And all of this was recorded by surveillance cameras in the hotel corridors.

In order for Kuroba Chikage not to be suspected, Kuroba Kaito had to act a full set, making the illusion that he kidnapped Chikage and replaced him with Chikage.

When he arrived at Qianying's room, he knocked on the door normally.

"Ma'am, room service."

"Come in..."

Kuroba Kaito pushed the cart into the room, and Kuroba Chikage immediately looked at the son of the waiter with a smile.

"Kaito, you look so handsome in this costume~"

"Stop kidding, Mom."

Kuroba Kaito took out the bag from under the dining car with his white-gloved hands. Inside the bag was a rope, and was about to tie Kuroba Chikage with the rope, but Chikage smiled and shook her head.

"No need~ When the time is almost up, I will pretend to break free and go to the corridor to ask for help."

"...Okay, then you can take control of it yourself."

Kuroba Kaito didn't care about his mother anymore and went to the bathroom to change clothes.

After a while, another "Kuroba Chikage" came out of the toilet.

Kuroba Chikage looked at her other self with a surprised expression on her face.

"Kaito, your disguise skills are getting better and better! Even your mother can't see the flaws anymore~"

"Of course~ Don't look at whose son I am."

Kuroba Kaito flicked his hair with the confident expression often used by Kuroba Chikage, which was sassy and charming.

"Okay, then I'll go first."

"Wait a moment."

Kuroba Kaito was about to go out when Chikage Kuroba, who was sitting on the sofa with arms folded, stopped him.

"Any thing else?"

"Hmm...Remember, Kaito, don't let that stone come into contact with the light no matter what."

Seeing Kuroba Chikage's serious expression, Kuroba Kaito frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment.

After a few seconds, he nodded.

"I remember."

After speaking, Kaito Kuroba left the room.

Kuroba Qiankage looked at her son's leaving figure with worry in her eyes.

……

Soon, Kaitou Kidd used Kuroba Chikage's identity and identity authentication card to go to the backstage of the casino.

Under the leadership of two staff members, Kaito Kidd passed through the maze-like corridor and was sent to the elevator.

He inserted the identity authentication card into the machine to confirm and passed the test easily.

The iron door in front of the elevator opened, and an elevator appeared in front of him.

The two staff members stayed in place, and Kaito Kidd entered the elevator alone, and the elevator went straight to the deepest vault in the ground.After a period of non-stop elevator descent, Kaitou Kidd arrived at the vault.

Star Casino has many vaults, which correspond to the storage business of different customers.

Kaitou Kidd looked around at the several closed vault doors. Every door here is enough for a person to spend several lifetimes.

But his goal was not these, but the open vault at the innermost door.

Through the round vault door, there is an extremely bright room inside.

The lighting in the treasury room itself is pure white with no dead ends in all directions, and more than a dozen spotlights have been installed in this room.

And these spotlights all coincidentally shone on the jewel on the central table of the vault.

Kaitou Kidd's eyes were immediately attracted by the gem, and he couldn't help but walked to the front to admire it.

So far, this is the most special gem he has ever seen.

All the gemstones before, even Pandora, the stone of life, will reflect gorgeous and charming brilliance under the light.

This is the property of gemstones and the reason why people are crazy about them.

But this gem is completely different, it is extremely pure black, even if the brightest light hits it, it does not reflect any light.

The approximately 4-inch oval diamond has 38 irregular facets, each of which is pure and smooth black without any impurities.

Kaitou Kid stared at the "black crow in the night" up close, and was unconsciously attracted by its beauty.

He gradually raised his hand, and the gloved palm gradually approached the black diamond that seemed to possess magical power.

it's so beautiful...

Keep it for yourself, hide it somewhere, and enjoy it alone...

Kaitou Kidd's eyes widened, and such thoughts appeared in his mind like a bewilderment.

When that hand was about to touch the metal box containing the gems, Kaitou Kidd's eyes froze, as if he had thought of something, he quickly stopped his hand.

call……

It was so dangerous, I almost did it.

Kaitou Kidd remembered that it was not yet 12:00 midnight. To steal something before the predicted time was called a lack of martial ethics and a sneak attack.

Said to steal at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, just steal at 12 o'clock.

1 minute early and 1 minute late are not called 12 midnight.

Kaitou Kidd stopped and looked around, only to find that there was no one in the vault except himself.

Um?Not here yet?
According to Kuroba Chikage, the identities of the few people in charge of protecting the gem today are unknown to each other, and they keep it secret from the outside world, but it shouldn't be so slow, right?
Kaitou Kidd looked down at the lady's watch on his wrist, but there was the sound of metal shaft rubbing behind him.

not good!

Kaitou Kidd was alerted immediately, turned around and was about to run out the door, but the door of the vault was closed first, and it was tightly closed.

Counted!
Kaitou Kidd gritted his teeth and realized that he had fallen into a trap set by the casino.

They already knew that they had disguised themselves as Chikage Kuroba!

But why?

How can the people in the casino be sure that they will turn into a thousand shadows of black feathers?instead of others...

The thoughts in Kaitou Kidd's mind were spinning.

But no matter how he speculated, he never imagined that his old opponent was standing in the security control center of the casino at this time.

……

At the same time, the casino security control center.

A group of people were standing on the checkered floor tiles, watching the distressed appearance of "Thousand Shadows of the Black Feather" in the vault.

"It seems that this is the Kaitou Kidd, I guessed correctly..."

A man with a bushy beard, a brown top hat, and a brown windbreaker was proudly looking at the screen in front of him, his beard trembling with excitement.

Behind him, there are some younger brothers in brown trench coats.

If Kaitou Kidd were here, he would recognize these people as members of the Brotherhood of the Beast, headed by Snake.

But how could the members of the Brotherhood of the Beast appear in the control center of the casino openly?

Snake's eyes were fixed on the screen, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually became ferocious.

"Phantom Thief Kidd is the former genius magician Kuroba Pirates. If he wants to announce the stealing of this gem, he will definitely use his wife's connections..."

"Hey, I expected this a long time ago."

Snake grinned twice, took out the pistol in his waist, and beckoned his younger brother to go.

"Little ones! It's time to catch Kidd!"

"That adult said, no one will be left alive!"

Just as Snake and his younger brothers were about to rush out of the control room, a voice stopped them.

"and many more."

Snake stopped and turned to the other man in the control room.

This man was extremely muscular, and the oversized suit couldn't completely conceal his exaggerated muscle lines.

"Mr. Lloyd? Anything else?"

"If you wait any longer and the phantom thief escapes through the ventilation duct, I'm afraid that lord will be unhappy..."

Rao Snake, who often puts on a big brother look, seems much more docile in front of this man named Lloyd, and even deliberately brought out "that lord" from the Brotherhood of the Beast to suppress him.

Because he is the boss behind the Starry Sky Casino, the leader of the Starry Sky Wisdom Cult, Lloyd Blake.

"Although I agreed to the Baron's cooperation in capturing Kaitou Kidd, it does not mean that I need to obey your orders..."

"Besides, do you think the human wave tactic will be useful to Kidd?"

Snake was stunned for a moment, "But if you don't rush in, how can you catch him?"

"Humph……"

Lloyd sneered and ordered: "Turn off the lights."

When the staff in front heard the order, they put their hands on the power control button and pressed it, and the monitoring screen of the vault immediately went dark.

Seeing this, Snake became anxious immediately.

"Hey! If you turn off the light, we can't see what's going on inside!"

"In case he really comes from the ventilation..."

Snake was shouting, but Lloyd calmly raised a finger and made a hissing gesture.

"Shh-"

"Be quiet and watch..."

"After all, this is not something that is often seen... a miracle!"

……

In the vault, the Kaitou Kidd is looking for a way out.

Soon, the ventilation ducts on the pure white ceiling came into view.

"hey-hey……"

The corner of Kaitou Kidd's mouth chuckled, the trick of escaping from the ventilation duct has been tried and tested.

Even if the ventilation ducts here are welded in advance, the other party will send people in sooner or later to catch him.

As long as someone dares to come in and catch him, he will be confident to use his powerful disguise technique to fool him. He has used this trick to fool Officer Zhongmori and his colleagues countless times.

Hey, I will accept the black crow in the middle of the night~
When passing by the table, Kaitou Kidd was about to grab the black diamond in the box.

But at this moment, the treasury suddenly heard an "eng" and lost all light.
