Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"In my opinion, he must have used something to press down the side machine, preventing the sensor device from responding in time, which caused the alarm not to be triggered." Nakamori Ginzo's assertion made Suzuki Jirokichi roll his eyes uncontrollably, and then he urged Ando to give a good explanation to this technological insulator.

"We use real-time sensors under the Jewel Crown. Before the power outage, as long as nothing is placed on the platform, the alarm will never stop."

Andang took out a tablet from his arms and gave Officer Nakamori a live picture of the inductance signal in the entire room. It could be seen that all the lines on the screen were unobstructed and green, and in the historical records on the right side of the information intelligence, the last time the focus device lost power was three days ago.

So Kidd definitely didn't steal the gems by destroying the device, and everyone knew this.

"Now! Is it possible that there was something on the side device all the time, so the alarm didn't sound?"

Ah Lele's clever reminder made everyone fall into thought, and Kudo Shinichi was the first person to understand what Conan was saying. His eyes fell on the display cabinet, looking at the empty hole in the wall, and a white light flashed over his head.

"Could it be a trick?"

"Oh, it seems this boy has an idea." Suzuki Jirokichi sighed in frustration. It was a pity that he was not the one who exposed Kidd's trick.

"What he thinks may not be right, Mr. Suzuki, let's listen first." Nakamori Ginzo signaled his subordinates to surround Kashima and push him over to listen together.

"Kid just used a small prop to make us think that the crown was stolen by him. In fact, the gem is still there, so the alarm has not sounded."

Kudo Shinichi raised his index finger: "It's glass."

"Glass?"

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan curiously joined in the fun.

"That's right. It's the method that is right in front of us, but we can't see it."

"Could it be that kind of glass?!" All the police officers looked strange, and Nakamori Ginzo coughed twice.

"Yes, it's frosted glass!" Kudo Shinichi didn't know when a piece of glass appeared in his hand, and a piece of transparent tape appeared in his right hand. He slowly stuck the tape on the glass, and the frosted glass that was originally unclear immediately became completely transparent.

"Of course, unlike the frosted glass used at home, this guy uses a special prop made for magic."

The strange expressions on everyone's faces returned to normal, and they all nodded to show that they thought the same as the young man.

"So what do they think it is?" Miss Suzuki, who was not going to pretend to be confused, approached Mouri Ran and asked, but did not get an answer. She turned around and heard the answer from Kudo Yuji.

"Maybe... a magic mirror?"

"The one with Snow White?"

"So that's what you think." Yuji looked Sonoko up and down, and when he made her feel uncomfortable, he smiled: "Sonoko." "What?"

"You're so cute."

Miss Yuanzi's face really turned red after hearing this exclamation. She hummed in a coquettish voice, "Who told you to call my name so intimately!"

"No, how can I shout?"

Yuji put his finger to his mouth in confusion and tilted his head: "Sonoko-sama?"

"Wow, this guy is so shameless... Why is Xiaolan also covering her chest?"

Kudo Shinichi stared at the two girlfriends who were hugging each other. He didn't come back to his senses until Conan coughed desperately. He remembered that he was still holding the frosted glass in his hand, and hurriedly continued: "Kid, that guy, stuck the glass with transparent tape on it into the hole in the wall first, and then performed the trick."

Because the crown was still on the weighing machine at the time, and Kudo Yuji was also next to Kashima when checking the gems, Kidd, who was prepared for this situation, immediately tested the gems step by step.

"But he clearly took the glass out of the hole in the wall. We all saw it." Officer Nakamori looked at the hole in the wall in confusion.

"Because he doesn't use just one piece of glass to test gems, but two pieces sandwiched together. The bottom piece is frosted glass with a layer of transparent tape on the surface, and the top piece is a pure transparent piece."

Kudo Shinichi rubbed the glass with his fingers, and sure enough, it separated into two thin pieces of glass, one transparent and the other that looked very transparent.

"This is what I just asked the policeman at the door to borrow from the chefs in the restaurant. It's different from the magic glass, so everyone just have to make do with it and watch." Kudo Shinichi put the glass in Conan's hand.

"Kid took out one piece and left another piece in the hole in the wall. Because it was not time yet, everyone was staring at the Wind God Road and their attention was not on the hole in the wall. When the power outage he planned occurred, Kid took advantage of the darkness to secretly tear off the transparent tape on the glass inside the hole in the wall, creating the illusion that the crown was stolen."

"I see. Because the glass is not clear, and the angle is chosen, it looks like the crown has disappeared." Suzuki Jirokichi suddenly realized.

“That’s why this arrangement was omitted.”

Conan held the glass and said affirmatively: "If there was a small light in the hole in the wall, his plan would not be possible. Under the illumination of the light, the difference in texture between the glass and the black mat in the hole in the wall cannot be solved even with the most advanced magic glass."

Mr. Suzuki turned his gaze to Ando again, and seeing her nodding continuously, he had no choice but to remind her helplessly.

"Remember this next time!"

"Hey! ... Is there a next time?"
