Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 542 Model of "Pickman"
As we all know, Dr. Ali's house and Kuroba Kaito's house are the two dens of illegal items in Tokyo.

In terms of the types of illegal items produced, Dr. Ali is more futuristic and technologically oriented, while Kaito Kuroba is a traditional craft.

Human skin masks, fake documents, fake uniforms, magic props... These are the traditional strengths of the Kuroba family.

Qin Zhibo was brought into the house by Heiyu Kaito, and Qin Zhibo saw the investigation point on a portrait of the magician Heiyu Pirates hanging on a wall.

【Topographic Survey√】

[Push the door and enter, there are surprises inside]

Before Qin Zhibo could say anything, Kaito Kuroba stretched out his hand and pushed the first-length portrait of Bandit Kuroba on the wall
When the pressure reaches the standard, the portrait turns like a revolving door, revealing the other side of the portrait.

On the other side is the same portrait of Black Feather Pirates, but the skin has been replaced by Kaito Kidd's shirt. His handsome appearance under the moonlight evokes people's infinite reverie.

"come in."

Kuroba Kaito looked back at Qin Zhibo who was standing in front of the portrait.

Just when he thought that Qin Zhibo was admiring his father's heroic appearance and was a little proud, Qin Zhibo asked a question that surprised him.

"Does your father know how to draw? Or does your father know how to draw?"

"...probably not."

"Will Mr. Terai know?"

Kuroba Kaito scratched his head, he only heard that Father Terai was good at billiards when he was young, but he was not good at drawing.
"No way. What's the matter?"

Kuroba Kaito didn't understand the meaning of Qin Zhibo's asking these questions, and there was some confusion in his eyes.

At this moment, Qin Zhibo looked sideways at Heiyu Kaito, and said, "That's strange, who created these two portraits for your father?"

"The magician's painting is easy to understand. If the painting of Phantom Thief Kidd is also created by someone else, then"

Qin Zhibo didn't finish his words, leaving the rest for Kuroba Kaito to experience.

Kuroba Kaito, who has a high IQ, also immediately understood the meaning of Qin Zhibo's words, if this painting was neither drawn by the Kuroba couple himself, nor Terai Konosuke
That means that as early as more than ten years ago, there was a fourth person who knew the true identity of the original Kaitou Kidd!
Kaito Kuroba's head was a little dazed. Since he could remember, this portrait has been hanging at home, and the other side of the portrait has also been stared at for several months recently.

I actually didn't understand another meaning of this painting until now!
If this person knew that Black Feather Pirate One was dead, and Kaitou Kidd came back out of the arena again, he would definitely suspect that it was the son of Black Feather Pirate One, that is, his own head.

"never mind."

Qin Zhibo patted Heiyu Kuaidou's shoulder in astonishment, and comforted him: "Since this person has drawn your father so handsomely, he must be one of his admirers, and he won't cause trouble for you."

"Let's get down to business right away."

With Qin Zhibo's reassurance, Kuroba Kaito temporarily suppressed all kinds of thoughts in his heart, and came to the workbench to start working.

The first thing to make is a human skin mask.

Kaito Kuroba has a large number of plaster statues of human heads, including Ginzo Nakamori, Aoko Nakamori, Shintaro Chaki, and even Conan.

"Can you use this Conan?" Qin Zhibo asked, pointing to "Conan".

Obviously, Kaito Kuroba wanted to disguise Conan, but he couldn't overcome the most difficult obstacle, that is, Conan is a dwarf.

Unexpectedly, Hei Yu quickly smiled and explained, "This is used to trick Officer Nakamori, and to 'infringe' that brat's portrait right by the way."

Qin Zhibo sweated, and continued to ask: "What about Mori Kogoro and Mori Ran? Last time you were on Suzuki's boat, you disguised yourself as Mori Ran."

Kaito Kuroba pointed at the plaster statue of Aoko Nakamori, "This one will do, it's universal."

Qin Zhibo nodded clearly, "So, Kogoro Mori also directly used Nakamori Ginzo?"

"correct!"

Heiyu Kaito's happy expression made Qin Zhibo wonder, "Did you do my plaster cast too?"

As soon as Qin Zhibo asked this question, Kaito Kuroba nervously blocked the underside of the workbench with his body, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"No, no!"

"Really? I don't believe it."

Qin Zhibo stepped forward and lifted the curtain under the workbench, and more plaster statues came into view, one of which had his own facial features.

Miserable!

Kuroba Kaito exclaimed inwardly.

However, Qin Zhibo held his plaster statue in his hands, looked at it for a while, and shook his head regretfully.

"Huohou still lacks some shortcomings, not as handsome as I am."

"Really? I don't believe it!"

Kaito Kuroba, whose professional skills were questioned, immediately walked over seriously, and Qin Zhibo immediately pointed out some facial details that can only be noticed by washing and looking in the mirror every day.

"Nose here."

"ear here"

"Eyes should."

After a long time, Kuroba Kaito felt that his understanding of Qin Zhibo's face had been further sublimated.

Making a plaster statue of a human head is the most important step in the human skin mask. Only by making this can we achieve a level where everything can be easily accommodated.

However, using plaster to imitate human facial features three-dimensionally depends on talent, and one needs to have a sufficient understanding of art and sculpture.

According to the magic notes left by Heiyu Pirates, among the people he has taught so far, there is only one student who can reach this level, and he can be regarded as a true disciple.

In order to practice making plaster statues, Kaito Kuroba made no less than dozens of plaster statues of human heads. Among them, the face of "Michael Bay" was improvised by him before.

The production officially started. Kaito Kuroba took out the "Michael Bay" plaster figure and placed it on the workbench. He heated the silicone, poured it, trimmed it, added hair, retouched it, and cooled it down.
Kaito Kuroba is very proficient in disguise skills. Within two hours, five human skin masks of the same style as "Michael Bay" were completed.

Qin Zhibo put on one of them, and took a photo in front of Kuroba Kaito's camera lens, which was used as an ID photo.

Twenty minutes later, a driver's license with a slightly hot surface came out.

"Thanks, I use my image rights to pay for these things."

"But remember, don't use it for illegal and criminal purposes~"

Kuroba quickly turned black.

You can't break the law and commit crimes, isn't that the same as not saying anything?

After seeing Qin Zhibo off, Kaito Kuroba came to the portrait and looked at the life-size painting of Phantom Thief under the moon again.

After thinking for a while, Kaito Kuroba picked up the phone and made an international call to Chikage Kuroba, the phantom thief lady.

"Kaito? It's midnight here now. Aha~" Kuroba Chikage yawned lazily on the phone.

"Mom, are you still in Las Vegas? Isn't work over yet?"

"Well. It will take some time to work. By the way, why did you suddenly think of calling me at this time? Could it be that you have encountered some emotional problems? It's Qingzi"

Kuroba Chikage was teasing her son, but Kuroba Kaito didn't have the heart to joke at all, and cut to the chase: "Mom, where did the two life-length portraits of my dad come from?"

The other side of the phone was silent for a while before answering: "It is said that it is an artist friend that Pioneer met when he was young. He mainly creates some figure paintings and sculptures."

"Piece asked him for advice on making human skin masks, and also studied with him for a while."

"In terms of name, it seems to be 'Pickman'?"
