Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 123 Investigating Kidd's Assistant

According to the information provided by the administrator, Qin Zhibo learned that the time of the power outage was around midnight yesterday.

The blackout area is centered on Tokyo Tower, with a diameter of 5 kilometers.

The power outage should not exceed 10 minutes.

In this process, the power company has not received any power outage notice in advance, and all power supply facilities are operating normally.

The only abnormal thing is that at zero o'clock yesterday morning, the treasure of the exhibition of the mainland dynasty displayed in the building next to the Tokyo Tower - the seal of the emperor at the end of the world, is being stolen by the strange thief Kidd.

In the process of Kaitou Kidd stealing the seal and using the steel cable to escape in the direction of Tokyo Tower, a large-scale power outage suddenly occurred around Tokyo Tower.

The darkness of vision made it impossible for the police to continue their pursuit, and the Kaitou Kidd escaped from the hands of the police again.

【Qin: So the investigation target of this mission is actually Kaitou Kidd? 】

[Administrator: Not all, your main task is to investigate a mysterious assistant next to Kaitou Kidd]

The administrator sent the second file, Qin Zhibo clicked on it, and there was a video in it.

The following is the content of the video screen:
"Officer Nakamori, all staff are ready!"

"Listen! Don't shoot, you have to catch him alive!"

In the neat corridor of the building, a police officer who looks exactly like Mori Kogoro is assigning tasks to his subordinates.

After the arrangement was over, a group of blue-clothed policemen quickly ran away, leaving only the police officer Nakamori to take out a white card from his pocket.

He stared at the card resentfully, and said angrily: "Damn Kaitou Kidd, today I must arrest you!"

Putting the card back into his pocket, Officer Nakamori looked out of the window with great interest, lamenting how beautiful the moonlight is tonight,

The speed of changing his face is really puzzling whether he came to catch Kidd or to admire the moon.

At this moment, a figure quietly approached Officer Nakamori.

This person's figure was completely hidden under a dark red cloak, and the large hood made it impossible to see her face clearly.

Police officer Nakamori sensed footsteps behind him, and just as he turned his head and asked "Who is it?", the other party raised his hand and threw a string of white necklaces, which caught Nakamori's neck.

The necklace quickly narrowed around his neck, and Officer Nakamori struggled in pain.

After a while, the mysterious man looked at Officer Nakamori who fell to the ground and stopped struggling, muttered something inaudible to himself, then turned and left.

After a while, Officer Nakamori came back to life, got up from the ground and left in another direction.

-

After watching this video, Qin Zhibo's first impression was that
Is Mori Kogoro an older brother or younger brother with twins?

This police officer Nakamori has nothing to do with Mori Kogoro's face, only that they are exactly the same.

This reminded Qin Zhibo of a sentence: There are always a few species in the world who can use facial recognition to unlock your phone.

It is already embarrassing to encounter a bump in the shirt in life, but it must be even more embarrassing to encounter a bump in the face.

Rarely can they be so similar.

It is reasonable to guess that if Mori Kogoro can meet this police officer Nakamori, it must be in a state of incompatibility.

As for the mysterious man in the dark red cloak, Qin Zhibo couldn't tell anything from this short video.

Is being good at hoops a trait?

If there is a chance to meet face-to-face, I should be able to see some basic information about her.

【Qin: This mysterious man in the red cloak is the assistant of Kaitou Kidd you mentioned? 】

[Administrator: Yes, he was the one who shut down the electricity near Tokyo Tower to help Kaito Kidd escape]

[Administrator: The goal of your task is to find out the identity of this person, and the reward is 50 yen]

In a well-decorated study room, a pair of slightly fat hands rested on the keyboard and silently typed a line of words - Be careful of the opponent's magic.
The hands stopped suddenly again, cleared all the words that had been typed, and typed a simpler sentence.

[Administrator: Please be careful]

【Qin: Received】

The missions of the Nine Angels are basically optional, especially investigation missions.

However, Qin Zhibo, who took over the task, still had a sense of urgency and immediately went to the Internet to collect relevant information about Kaitou Kidd.

If you want to find the assistant of Kaitou Kidd, you must start with Kaitou Kidd.

Although the Internet functions in this era are not so perfect, hundreds of pages about Kaitou Kidd can be found.

Most of them are news about Kaitou Kidd, and even half of them are webpages in other languages. It seems that the topic of Kaitou Kidd has a high degree of attention all over the world.

Qin Zhibo, who is proficient in four languages, browsed almost all the pages here and learned more about Kaitou Kidd.

As Aso said, Phantom Thief Kidd first appeared in Paris, France eighteen years ago.

That time, it was not only the first show of Phantom Thief Kidd, but also the last show of another Phantom Thief—Lady Phantom Thief.

Therefore, there are also outside speculations that Lady Phantom Thief is actually Kidd the Phantom Thief, and it is a means for Lady Phantom Thief (Kidd) to get rid of the international police.

After that, Phantom Thief Kidd was active for ten years at a stretch, and suddenly disappeared from public view eight years ago.

During this period, people believed the most saying that Kaito Kidd had offended too many people, and the rich and rich offered high bounties on the black market and were assassinated by killers.

Until the last half a year, Kaito Kidd reappeared in the arena, and his superb magic tricks played the police in the palm of his hand again and again, proving that he was not a poor imitator.

——The real Phantom Thief Kid has returned!
Although in the news, the Kaitou Kidd who became active eighteen years ago and the Kaitou Kidd who became active half a year ago are considered to be the same person, but Qin Zhibo does not agree with this view.

Because there are two obvious differences between the two Kidds.

First of all, Qin Zhibo is not blind.

In the photo of Phantom Thief Kidd eight years ago, one can vaguely see two delicate mustaches above his mouth.

The Kaitou Kidd, who has become active recently, has a clean mouth and no beard.

Of course, it could also be that Kaito Kidd himself thought his beard was ugly, so he shaved it, or it was a fake beard that he had put on before.

Secondly, the scope of activities of the new version of Phantom Thief Kidd is currently only in Japan, while the scope of activities of the old version of Phantom Thief Kidd is all over the world, and Japan is only one stop.

First remove the influence of the old version of Kaitou Kidd, and maintain Qin Zhibo's previous judgment on the new version of Kaitou Kidd.

A rich son from a magic family.
Since the scope of activities is limited to Japan, there must be some reason for this.

Time or money?

Obviously, what restricts the new version of Phantom Thief Kidd from going abroad cannot be money, it can only be time.

young man
go to school!

Qin Zhibo's eyes widened suddenly, thinking of such a possibility.

Will the new version of Phantom Thief Kidd be a son of a magic family who is in high school or college?

Although it is also possible that work is restricted in movement, since he is a rich second generation, it is unlikely to be a social animal.

So it is more likely to be a high school student or a college student.

Of the two, Qin Zhibo is more inclined towards college students, because college students may have more freedom in time.
In the process of continuing to turn down the pages, Qin Zhibo saw the most outrageous web page.

Phantom Thief Kid-sama's Support Club.

This is a website similar to the "喰社" website. The main function of the website is the message board.

On the message board, a striking message attracted Qin Zhibo's attention.

[Sonoko Kidd]: Master Kidd is finally coming to steal my things!

-

Qin Zhibo: "."

For some reason, Qin Zhibo seemed to vaguely guess who the speaker was.
