Conan: The Second Personality of Kaitou Kidd

Chapter 383 Suspicious People
Kuroba Kaito: "Or Black Diamond...?"

Didn’t Black Diamond disappear in plain sight?

Since Nakamori Ginzo rightly said that the next target of the Phantom Thief Crow is the black diamond, then: "What the Crow took was not a real diamond."

Bai Shui said the most likely possibility is, "The black diamonds in the exhibition cabinet are not real black diamonds at all, they are fakes."

The Phantom Thief Crow only stole the fakes, so the next target was the Jackdaw in the night.

So the question is: why?
"There is obviously a chance to take away the genuine product," Kuroba Kaito frowned and thought urgently, "Then why not just take it away instead of taking the fake one?"

"I don't think it's a reason like 'letting go' or 'there's only one action, I'm afraid we won't be able to see through the trick'. My parents are not such people at all."

In terms of educating children, the two black feathered adults focus on an eagle taking care of the cubs, which has a sense of beauty that can fly but will not fly to death.

Kuroba Kaito didn't think that they would suddenly become gentle, and would hold the children's hands with a smile, and patiently teach the children how to lift their legs, step forward, put their feet down, and stand firm.

Then there is only one possibility.

Like a complete circle, Kuroba Kaito's thoughts turned to this point. He paused for a moment before speaking the last sentence, and then Shiraizu said the next sentence, "They can't take away the real thing."

The real purpose of the two black feather masters is not the black diamond at all, but the white water.

Therefore, their actions are not arbitrary, but have a track to follow. The clear manifestation is: after Nakamori Ginzo handed the black diamond to 'Harry Nezu', Kuroba Toichi did not smile at his old friend , retreat directly.

He still maintained the disguise of 'Halliganzin' and took over the defensive duties unhurriedly.

The Kaitou Crow, who was responsible for the attack, also performed his duties as the attacker. Kuroba Chikage and Kuroba Thief didn't directly proceed. "OK, I got the gem. Let's meet in the bathroom. After I hand over the gem to you, you When taking action, he only showed up and pretended to get the gems out of thin air, which was a shameless magic trick.

But step by step.

But they are not really hostile. They exchange information with each other. The defender and the attacker worked together to formulate a defense plan, and they also finalized an offensive plan to cleverly break the situation.

In other words: before taking action, Kaitou Crow knew that the gem he wanted to take was a fake, but he still only took the fake and not the genuine one.

Combining the personalities of the two adults, there is only one possibility: not taking away the genuine item because the Phantom Thief Crow cannot take away the genuine item.

"In other words," Kuroba Kaito said without pause, "it is impossible to take away the real gem when the gem is missing."

Bai Shui did not pause, "The trick they used is a specific trick that can take away the fake but not the real thing."

Kuroba Kaito: "There's something wrong with the fakes."

"What we have to do," Bai Shui thought, "is to find out the material of the fake."

Kuroba Kaito said slowly: "Only by finding out the material of the fake can we continue to find out what the trick is that 'fake can do it, but the real thing can't'."

He paused, "You also said that you are not 'Kuroba Kaito'..."

If it's not 'Kuroba Kaito', can you just think of it here and say it there?

It's almost like a person.

"If someone could hear the conversation we just had," he complained, "they would be horrified and wonder, 'Why does someone have to use two completely different tones when speaking, is he mentally ill? Speak."

Bai Shui: "."

"Under the premise that the known information is the same, when deducing clues, isn't it normal for you and your companions to have a 'you say something and I say something'?" He rationally advised Kuroba Kaito not to shoot the arrow and then set up a target, " This often happens when the police are reasoning about cases.”

When some police officers are sorting out clues to a murder case and listing them clearly, they will be like a running brain, with different police officers sorting out the entire case word by word.

You don't even need the police, some ordinary friends who cooperate tacitly... Oh, except for Nakamori Aoko, the lively Kuroba Kaito has many friends, but they are just casual acquaintances, and none of them can be called companions.

Bai Shui paused and continued smoothly: "The known clues so far are: dark traces on the purple-black blanket."

"The unknown clue that can be unlocked at the moment is," Kuroba Kaito paused naturally, and Shiraizu said the second half of his sentence, "Police Department."

As he spoke, Kuroba Kaito turned to look at Nakamori Ginzo.

He smiled sweetly and said, "Police department."

Nakamori Ginzo heard the sound and looked at him, immediately alert, "What's wrong?"

"You smiled so guiltily, you didn't accidentally damage the crime scene, did you?"

"No way, am I the kind of person with rough hands and feet?" Kuroba Kaito leaned closer, "Police department, you were at the scene when the crime occurred, right? The media reports are not perfect at all, can you tell me Tell me what happened?"

He observed Nakamori Ginzo's expression, "Is there anything strange that makes you concerned?"

"Or tell me what you don't care about?"

"You kid, you don't trust my judgment," Ginzo Nakamori heard it, and he casually slapped Kuroba Kaito on the back of the head, "I've been using this police cliché longer than you kid is!"

"Alright, alright."

He didn't pay much attention to it, and thought hard, "Actually, since the gem disappeared, I have been thinking seriously about the suspicious place, and I am quite concerned about it."

That point is...

"The exhibition hall is full of ice," Ginzo Nakamori said, "Mr. Harry turned this place into an ice rink."

"On the day of the operation, a few hours before the moment of operation, Mr. Harry wanted a drink, so he used the intercom to call several staff members to deliver drinks and high-calorie snacks to everyone."

He said slowly and solemnly: "There is a strange octopus among those staff members."

Very solemn.

Kuroba Kaito: "...?"

[-]. Octopus does not mean...

"Congratulations to the police department," Bai Shui responded, also slowly, "for discovering Kaito Kidd."

"Ah, no, it's not a real octopus," Nakamori Ginzo recalled, "There was just a young man who couldn't skate and looked like an octopus in his movements. He was quite friendly and funny."

"I thought he was quite cute at the time. As a young man, people of my age tend to have some involuntary care for young people. At the time, I thought he was quite..."

Quite kind?
In short, there is a subtle feeling of a father towards his son.

"But looking back, he was suspicious."

Nakamori Ginzo solemnly said: "When he entered the hall, he was either acting like an octopus, or he was beside me and Mr. Harry. He didn't share the drinks with his companions at all. From the beginning to the end, he only poured Mr. Harry a cup of hot coffee. .”

He added: "With ice cubes."

With Harry Nezu absent, Nakamori Ginzo can finally complain.

"What kind of devil is this? Does it have a grudge?"
