Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 490 Amuro has realized it!
Although the reason is unclear, it did not stop him from preventing Vermouth from obtaining the information!
People can leave, but files cannot!

He had even thought it through: it did look strange to have a towel wrapped around his face, but he could pretend to be Kaito Kid!

It's quite normal that Kaito Kid has sent another notice to the Metropolitan Police Department these past few days, coming to scout out the location in advance and asking Ginzo Nakamori about the police deployment and plans for the theft.

"Sorry, I wasn't trying to distract myself."

Kaito helplessly shrugged. He had clearly meant to remind the other person, but the other person didn't appreciate it, so he couldn't be blamed.

Kaito's fingers twitched slightly, as if he had pressed a switch.

Immediately afterwards, Amuro Tooru heard a "buzzing" sound coming from above, like an air compressor just being depressurized.

Looking up, I saw a lot of white smoke coming out of the ventilation ducts overhead.

Seeing this, Amuro Tooru finally understood why the archives were spewing out thick white fog.

"What a joke! With methods like that, you're no match for me, Phantom Thief Kid."

Although Amuro Tooru didn't know when Vermouth had acquired the smoke ability, he didn't care and revealed his identity first.

Preserving one's identity is of utmost importance.

Immediately, he placed his finger on the trigger and pulled it!
The pistol equipped with a silencer fired a bullet with a "whoosh".

Kaito pressed his hand on his shoulder and pulled it outwards, causing his white robe to unfurl with a "whoosh".

The bullet collided head-on with the white robe, like a meat bun thrown at a dog, without causing any ripples.

"Huh? You're Phantom Thief Kid, then who am I?"

The moment the white robe was donned, a strong wind blew out from the ventilation duct above his head, causing the white robe to flutter in the wind. Kaito pulled the white robe with one hand, using it as a shield in front of him, while with the other hand he pulled out a playing card gun and faced off against Amuro Tooru.

"Besides, Phantom Thief Kid never uses a pistol!"

Kaito flicked the bullet to the ground, as if to say: You're 20,000 years too early to pretend to be Kaito Kid.

At the same moment, a slight noise came from behind Kaito, and the door to the archives room suddenly opened.

Kaito knew that Yuri had come out of the archives.

Even though he broke the lock, Yuri still managed to open it. The Public Security Bureau is a bit better than the police in this respect; at least Inspector Nakamori wouldn't be able to pick the lock.

Amuro Tooru's expression was somewhat distorted; he had been worried about both sides, but in the end, it wasn't Vermouth after all.
"Kaito Kid stole that file! Catch him!"

Yuri could have come out earlier, but for his sister's safety, he held his breath and went back to where Kaito Kid had been to check.

My sister's file wasn't lost, but it's kind of lost.

He did find his sister's file, but when he opened it, he discovered it was a fake document.

More importantly, the photo of Yuri in that fake document showed him as an ugly, grotesque man who worked as a street performer during the day and a prostitute in Shibuya at night.

Marubi from Thailand! He tore it to shreds.

Yuri composed himself and said in a deep voice, "Kaito Kid, what exactly was your purpose in stealing that file? Is it related to that woman?"

"I don't understand what you're saying."

Kaito leaned against the wall, his hands supporting his white robe and cloak, like a half-hidden clam, his exposed eyes constantly alert to the two.

He had no idea who the woman the other person was talking about was.

Although I don't want to admit it, Xia Chuan is indeed a tall, handsome man with a penis, which is beyond doubt.

One is Yuri, and the other, though we don't know who he is, is probably also a public security police officer. They've made a mess of this floor, and the Metropolitan Police Department will probably find out soon. Kaito doesn't want to waste public resources; he just wants to get away as quickly as possible.

However, the two men stood on either side, extremely vigilant, giving him no chance.

Although he could have escaped through the overhead ventilation duct, judging from the marksmanship of the policeman who was covering his face, he had no chance of even getting through the ventilation duct.

Even if he managed to get inside, he didn't believe the ventilation duct material could be bulletproof.

He couldn't unfold his white robe inside; that would be suicide.

"Damn it, the Metropolitan Police Department's standards are simply incomparable to these two."

Kaito cursed Natsukawa's ancestors in his mind. His appearance was completely unnecessary; Joel's brother could handle it himself.

However, this time of helping out was not entirely fruitless. At least I gained a clear understanding of the difference between a regular police officer and a public security police officer, and I learned who I can mess with and who I should be careful around.

Natsukawa wasn't there, otherwise he would have comforted Kaito.

He was facing Kuroda Hyoue's two underworld leaders, while ordinary public security police officers, like Kazami Yuya, were not much different from Takagi Wataru and Nakamori Ginzo.

"I see."

Amuro Tooru suddenly realized!
Vermouth knows how to disguise herself, and so does Kaito Kid!
This is a very obvious common point. I hadn't thought about it before because I didn't expect the two of them to have any connection.

Judging from Kaito Kid's skills, he should be much more powerful than Vermouth.

Therefore, Vermouth's disguise skills were likely learned from Kaito Kid.

Kaito had no idea that he had inexplicably become the scapegoat for several people, and all he wanted to do now was leave.

Fortunately, the smoke above continued to spread during the standoff between the three.

This hypnotic gas is heavier than air, so it quickly began to sink. Just as Amuro Tooru was about to reveal the relationship between Kaito Kid and Vermouth, he felt his head start to throb!

Although his resistance wasn't as strong as Yuri's, it wasn't to be underestimated. The first thing he did upon noticing the abnormality was to roll away from the smoke. "Sorry, I forgot to mention that the smoke has a hypnotic effect."

Yuri's apology earned him a furious glare from Amuro Tooru. Wasn't this just sabotaging his teammate?
However, Yuri was helpless; he was so focused on getting the files back that he couldn't think of anything else.

That one or two seconds of lapse in concentration is Kaito's biggest opportunity!

Yuri noticed the sudden upturn of Kaito Kid's lips and fired without hesitation.

The cloak is similar to a bulletproof vest, but lighter. It contains four layers of bulletproof material. When a bullet hits, the force is dispersed and absorbed by the entire cloak, creating ripples like a pebble falling into water.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, but my mother has already prepared a late-night snack. You know, it's hard for a filial son to refuse his mother's love!"

The white robe unfurled with a "whoosh," and plumes of white smoke inexplicably spewed out from its seams.

At this moment, Phantom Thief Kid is like a smoke-generating machine, frantically multiplying to create smoke in the narrow passage.

A short while later, the smoke completely enveloped the passageway.

As the smoke reached an alarming level, the overhead fire shower heads finally activated.

Then came the piercing alarm.

As soon as the alarm went off, the officers finally discovered the situation in the archives.

They didn't panic at all; the moment they saw the white mist, they knew what had happened.

A rough calculation shows that this is not the first time the Metropolitan Police Department has experienced this kind of white fog since Inspector Nakamori joined the department.

The reason for the white mist is undoubtedly Kaito Kid.

As for the purpose, Inspector Nakamori had previously stated that there was a possibility that Kaito Kid would come to the Metropolitan Police Department to steal the operation plan.

Therefore, the police officers immediately contacted Inspector Nakamori, who was still holding an all-night meeting at the Metropolitan Police Department to devise a response to Kid's plan.

There's no way around it. Not to mention that Inspector Nakamori had given instructions, at this time of day, the only ones still working overtime on a large scale are probably the Second Investigation Division!
Upon hearing that white smoke was coming from the floor where the archives were located, Nakamori Ginzo, who had already stayed up all night and was feeling listless, stood up as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Other officers from the Second Division who were working overtime had the same reaction as him.

In an instant, a group of people rushed out of the conference room, some taking the elevator, some taking the stairs, rushing wherever was fastest.

Although it's unclear why Phantom Thief Kid didn't come to eavesdrop on their meeting but went to the archives instead, it doesn't matter at all. If they can catch Phantom Thief Kid today, there will never be another all-nighter of this scale.

Everyone was giving it their all, afraid that if they were too slow, they wouldn't even be able to smell the hypnotic gas.

Returning our gaze to the floor where the archives were located, the corridor had now transformed into a misty, ethereal wonderland. The ceiling-mounted fire sprinklers were still spraying water, and Amuro Tooru and Yuri were both conscious and confused.

This feeling is absolutely intoxicating!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kaito quickly ran to the elevator door and pressed the switch.

"I was moving around the ventilation ducts and even opened the ventilation louvers. They would definitely think I would leave from there. They would never have imagined that I would openly take the elevator."

Kaito was very confident in his quick wit; this was not only a psychological tactic but also a test of their ability to react on the fly.

He had never dealt with the police before, and believed that they wouldn't be able to react for a while.

As the elevator gradually descended from the first floor to his floor, Kaito looked back one last time.

unmanned!

Sure enough, even the public security police can't compare to Kaito Kid, after all, he was born with an IQ of 400.

The elevator made a "ding!" sound after it stopped.

The sound was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

Kaito knew the sound would attract the attention of the two men, but he wasn't worried. The passageway was narrow, and he wasn't in a position where he was attacked from both sides. If the two men rushed over, they would only become targets.

Kaito was extremely arrogant, confident that he could easily defeat his enemies with his upgraded poker gun. It was perfect to test his skills on the police.

The elevator doors opened, and Kaito rushed in without hesitation, then frantically pressed the close button.

Upon hearing the elevator sound, Yuri and his companion realized they had been tricked by Phantom Thief Kid and immediately ran towards the elevator.

"Sorry, you two~"

Kaito chuckled and greeted them, then raised his playing card gun and fired a shot into a fishing net.

The fishing net spread out instantly after it was launched.

The two, who had just emerged from the smoke, seamlessly slipped into the fishing net.

However, being police officers with strong mental fortitude, they reacted the moment they saw the fishing net, and as if on cue, the two of them fired at the elevator switch at the same time.

The switch sparked and emitted black smoke, causing the machine to crash immediately.

"Didi dididi——"

If the switch malfunctions, the elevator will immediately sound an alarm. The emergency device will mistakenly identify the elevator as malfunctioning and stop in place, and the elevator doors will open automatically.

Kaito: "."

This is not quite what I imagined.
