Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 870 Found it!Pandora!
Snake, whose face was blackened, raised his gun angrily to aim at Judy Hopper. Fortunately, Kidra the Phantom Thief drove him away, and the bullet grazed his head and knocked out a few strands of golden hair.

"Smelly chick!"

Snake fired several shots in a row, so suppressed that Kidd had no choice but to hold Judy Hooper in his arms like a princess, and continued to escape up the stairs until he reached the revolving observation restaurant on the highest floor.

All the guests in the restaurant had gone to evacuate, and there was no other passage in the huge restaurant. The two seemed to be cornered.

Kidd quickly put Judy Hooper down and guarded him behind him.

Snake behind also hurriedly chased after him, pointed his pistol at Kidd, and threatened him.

"Go away, I don't have time to play peek-a-boo with you, obediently hand over the gem to me!"

"That's really hard work for you, but the gem on her body is not the Pandora you have been dreaming of!"

Kidd's eyes changed, and there was a confident smile on his face, "This gem is more valuable than that kind of thing! But I don't think someone like you can understand it."

"Come on, whether it is Pandora or not, we will confirm it ourselves."

As Kaitou Kidd expected, Snake would not listen to what he said.

But he didn't want to explain anything, just to delay the time, wait for Terai's old man to change the program of the revolving restaurant, let the restaurant rotate quickly, and throw Snake away.

Is dad almost there?
Facing Snake's black muzzle, Kidd was actually a little nervous, but the "poker face" taught by his father kept him calm.

But at this moment, he saw behind Snake, a barefoot beauty with a torn black and purple skirt approaching Snake quietly.

After waiting for a similar position, the beauty grabbed the back of a chair at the dining table next to her with both hands.

"Give me the gem!"

As soon as Snake yelled these words, the beauty behind suddenly picked up the chair and slammed it hard at Snake's back.

Snapped--

The chair was of good quality and didn't fall apart, but Snake, who had been hit hard on the back, staggered and dropped the pistol to the ground.

Kidd was still a little unclear about the situation, but Judy Hooper behind him had already quickly circled to the front, and rushed forward to pick up the pistol that Snake had dropped on the ground.

Snake, who was about to get up from the ground, raised his head, the black muzzle of the gun was already aimed at his forehead, his expression was startled, but he didn't dare to resist.

The situation on the court was reversed instantly, and even Kaito Kidd felt incredible.

Snake was subdued by two women?
This.
Since reaching a united front with Qin Zhibo, the two have discussed not to catch such a small character as Snake, and let the organization keep sending him to compete for gems, which is better than Spider and Shi Kaobing sent by the zoo before.

So even if there is a chance to catch Snake, Kidd will not do it. Every time he clicks to the end, he will take the initiative to tell him the information about the gem, and Snake will not lose too badly.

Create the illusion that Kaitou Kidd and Snake are [-]-[-], which can make the boss behind the scenes of the zoo paralyzed.

But unexpectedly, the two women broke this delicate "balance" as soon as they made a move.

"Don't move!"

Judy Hooper held guns in both hands, condescendingly aiming at Snake who was crouching on the ground, with a proud smile on the corner of her mouth, "I'll hand you over to the police later, let's see who you are."

Snake clenched his hands and stared at Judy Hooper viciously, not knowing what he was thinking.

Judy Hooper turned her eyes to the woman who helped herself and Kidd out of trouble, and asked, "Thank you, who are you?"

"Call me to come true."

Chengshi turned his eyes to Kidd, the Kaitou Kidd behind him, with curiosity but also vigilance in his eyes.

Although he himself is a fan of Kaito Kidd, what he admires is Kidd's gorgeous magic techniques, not his admiration for Kidd's theft.

Just like most little girls like Sonoko Suzuki, they are fans of Kidd's beauty, but they can also understand that Kaito Kidd is a habitual thief.

Only a few brainless fans will have no brains to fan everything about Kidd.

Judy Hopper also noticed that Cheng was wary of the Kaitou Kidd behind him, and smiled, "I don't think Kaito Kidd is as bad as the rumors say."

"By the way, I still don't know why you want to help me?"

Her second sentence was directed at Kaitou Kidd, because she secretly felt that the maniac was here to help her.

"because."

Just as Kidd was about to answer, the ground under his feet suddenly shook, and there was the sound of heavy gears turning below.

not good!

Kidd's heart tightened, and he knew that the rotation battle at the Observatory restaurant that he had agreed with Terai's father had begun.

"what!"

The sudden rotation made Judy Hooper scream, and the shaking high heels caused the body to lose its center of gravity.

Snake looked at the right time, grabbed the pistol violently, and was about to shoot, but was pushed to the ground by Chengshi forcefully, and the bullet missed again.

The fallen Snake felt furious, turned his gun on Chengshi, and shot directly without any hesitation.

Under this distance, the pupils of Kidd and Judy Hooper dilated, and it was too late to do anything. Even Cheng Shi felt that death was about to come to him.

Pia——

At this critical moment, a white hand bone suddenly appeared from behind, hooked Chengshi's waist, pulled him hard, and sent him into another man's embrace.

"Mr. Qin!"

Seeing that it was Qin Zhibo, Cheng Shi was overjoyed.

Snake hurried to get up, but at this time the ground of the revolving restaurant accelerated suddenly, and the ground rotated more violently, making it impossible for people to stand still.

Kidd quickly put his arms around Judy Hooper's waist, and the claw gun in the other hand fired a hook towards the ceiling, and the two of them broke away from the accelerating rotation of the ground and hung up.

Qin Zhibo followed suit, throwing [Flying Claw] into the air in the same posture, grabbed the chandelier above his head, hugged Chengshi and left the ground together.

Seeing Qin Zhibo hanging across from him and Chengshi who couldn't stop admiring his eyes, Kidd's eyes showed admiration.

As expected of an uncle, he still pleases women so much at this age.

but
Kidd moved his gaze upwards and saw that the flying claw used by Qin Zhibo was made of something similar to a human hand bone.

That stuff can't be real, can it?

All four of them were hanging in the air, and only Snake in the restaurant was the most unlucky.

He could only rotate with the gradually accelerating foundation, and he couldn't even stand firmly, and soon he rolled to the outermost glass with the tables, chairs and benches of the dining room.

The strong centrifugal force made him cling to the glass, unable to move.

In order to prevent Snake from being caught by the police, Kidd looked for the night sky outside the window, and sure enough, he saw a white hang glider flying by, which was a high imitation Kaitou Kidd.

Seizing the opportunity, Kidd took out his poker gun and played more than a dozen rounds of poker in a row, breaking the glass behind Snake.

Snake's body flew out along the hole in the broken glass. The fake Kidd outside who attracted the police's attention was still waiting for Snake to send a retreat signal, but Snake flew directly towards him.

"Ah——"×2
The two collided and fell to the roof of a building below.

Ginzo Nakamori on the floor below saw Kidd falling, thinking that Kidd was tired from flying, so he descended to the next floor to take a rest, and immediately directed his subordinates.

"Kidd is there!"

"Catch him!"

The ground of the observation restaurant gradually stopped spinning, and two pairs of people also fell from the sky.

Qin Zhibo immediately put away the [Flying Claw] to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding caused by the hand bones on it, then put on his gloves and picked up the pistol that Snake left behind, and handed it to the police later.

"Thank you, Kidd, for helping me."

"Thank you too, Miss Chengshi."

Judy Hooper took out the gemstone from her bosom, with a bitter smile on her face: "But I think this gemstone is really the Devil's Stone?"

"It caused injuries to the troupe members and wasted a performance. It became the last cursed magic show"

Kidd smiled slightly and asked, "Have you never doubted this jewel?"

"Normal rubies should emit red light, but this ruby ​​emits blue light. The name of the gem is also called 'Crimson Tears', red tears."

"Red. Flame red?" murmured Judy Hooper.

Qin Zhibo is also a little unbelievable. This description sounds familiar.
Kidd smiled and took the gemstone in Judy Hooper's hand, and put the flame of the lighter under it to burn, and the flame was reflected in the blue gemstone mirror.

After a while, the gems turned red, and the red light emitted went straight to the ceiling.

Several photos were projected onto the ceiling in red light.

In the photos, Judy Hooper was learning magic when she was a child. At that time, she was as cute as a porcelain doll, with a happy smile on her face.

Conjured a pigeon from a top hat for the first time, performed human cutting on stage for the first time, and performed poker magic for the first time.
These are some memorable and warm photos. Judy Hooper stared at these photos in disbelief. Obviously, it was the first time she knew that there was such a mystery hidden in the gemstone.

Looking up at these age-filled photos, Ma Chengshi couldn't help but feel a little sore at the corners of his eyes, and leaned slightly to Qin Zhibo's side.

Among these photographs stands out a letter, left by James Hooper.

—My dear Judy, think back to the past, when you first stood on the stage, the excitement in your chest beat.

It is my heartfelt prayer that, when this jewel glows red, that divinely gifted Magical Daughter, Judy Hooper, will wake again.

-

"Grandpa." Judy Hooper had tears in her eyes, and was deeply moved by her grandpa's sincere words.

Looking up, Kidd also found a familiar figure in the photo, it was his father, Black Feather Pirates.

In that year's performance, Kaito Kuroba was actually on the scene, and he and Pirate One attended the magician's dinner together.

It was also Kuroba Pirates who confided to the childhood Kuroba Kaito that night that this gem was made by his grandfather for his granddaughter, using the principle of light reflection.

Through this gem, not only Judy Hooper was moved, but Kidd also recalled how he learned magic from his father when he was young.

This is of course a treasure that spans time and space and has extraordinary significance.

However, at this moment, Qin Zhibo's finger wearing the magic power extractor trembled, and he suddenly reached out and snatched the gemstone from Kidd's hand, and ran towards the window.

Several people were stunned in place, not knowing why Qin Zhibo suddenly went crazy.

This is the lookout restaurant, with almost 360° panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, it is easy to find the position of the moon.

I saw Qin Zhibo running to the window and aiming the jewel at the new moon tonight.

The moonlight radiated through the gemstones, producing a breathtaking red light!

The color of this light was the same as before, crimson.

However, it is different from the demonstration of Kaitou Kidd using a lighter just now, the light just shivered with the flames.

And this moonlight is an elegant and stable white light, but it can still emit red light, so gorgeous that you can't take your eyes off it.

Looking at the red light emitted by the gemstone, Kidd was the first to come back to his senses, and the pupils of his eyes dilated unconsciously.

这 是
This is actually Pandora!
Kidd hurried over, held the gemstone in his hand and shone it on the moon, and it really radiated a breathtaking red light.

Everything is as the zoo members said at the time, if you shine Pandora's Stone on the moon, you will see a wonderful red light.

This is real Pandora!
Kidd's eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to see through them, and his will unconsciously sank and swayed in this fantastic and magnificent light.

It was Qin Zhibo who slapped the gemstone back from Kidd's hand. The gemstone was no longer facing the moon, so it couldn't emit that kind of light.

Seeing Kidd's dementia-like reaction, Qin Zhibo knew that this was the real Pandora's Stone.

In fact, Qin Zhibo had an idea in another direction when he heard Kaito Kidd's in-depth analysis of the meaning of "Crimson Tears".

Red, tears. Isn't this the characteristic of Pandora's stone?
Point Pandora's stone at the moon, and it will emit red light; and point Pandora's stone at the full moon of Great Halley's comet, and it will shed tears. Drinking this tear, you can live forever.

The keywords of Pandora's Stone correspond to the "crimson tears", which is a bit too coincidental.

And what Qin Zhibo further confirmed was that the light from the gem through the lighter actually triggered the magic recovery mechanism of the magic power extractor.

The magic power extractor looks like a white glove, but as long as it touches something with magic power, it can absorb magic power and store it for your own use.

Qin Zhibo was shocked when he saw the prompt of [Magic Power +1].

Even the light from the lighter emitted by the gem has magic power, which means that the gem itself is even less likely to be a mortal thing.

After getting it to test under the moonlight, it really proved that my idea was correct.

The crimson stone is the stone of Pandora!

After a while, Kaito Kidd regained his will, but he still stared at the gem in Qin Zhibo's hand in shock.

After losing the moonlight and firelight, it regained the sky blue gem.

"How is this possible, isn't this a man-made gemstone?"

"How could Dad be wrong?"

Kaitou Kidd clearly remembered that Black Feather Pirate One had said this to him himself, how could that famous and world-renowned magician be wrong!
Qin Zhibo stepped forward and patted Kidd on the shoulder twice comfortingly, but his eyes were still deep.

Perhaps from the very beginning, Black Feather Pirates knew that this was the Stone of Pandora.
This child may have been deceived.
