Conan Rick's Investigator

The White Horse Detective was too lazy to repeat his lines, so he explained briefly: "His name is Spider, an international assassin..."

"International assassin?"

Officer Nakamori frowned, somewhat confused.

Spider looked at the increasing number of police officers and knew that there would be no chance to kill Kidd this time, so it was time to retreat.

"You are such a difficult guy..."

Spider's voice trailed off as he silently held a small white bead in his hand.

Kidd was quite familiar with this method of escape, so he quickly shouted a warning: "Be careful!"

Before anyone else could react, Spider threw the beads to the ground.

White light and a large amount of smoke burst out instantly, and the amount of smoke produced was no less than the smoke bomb that Kidd was using.

Using the smoke as cover, Spider quickly escaped and ran towards the exit where no police were stationed.

But after running only two steps, Spider vaguely saw a huge square box suddenly appear on the ground two meters in front of him.

Before I could take a closer look at what it was, the box suddenly exploded with a boom, and a huge clown popped out from it.

The Joker is two heads taller than Spider, with his upper body painted in exaggerated colors and his lower body made of a large and elastic spring.

As the bullet swayed, the clown's body swayed back and forth in front of Spider like a woodpecker, while constantly making a wicked laugh.

"Hey hey hey-"

"Hey hey hey-"

Spider looked at the clown in front of him in disbelief, his mouth opened in surprise, and the sudden drop in his will made Spider unable to move.

This effect lasted for about two seconds. Spider, having recovered, wanted to continue running away, but his feet seemed to be entangled by something, and his steps were abnormally slow.

When the clown and the box disappeared, the smoke created by the smoke bomb also dissipated.

Spider took a step forward to continue running away, but suddenly a huge impact force came from behind, quickly knocking Spider's body to the ground.

Spider forced his head to turn and look back, and it was Officer Nakamori who had just learned of his existence.

"International killer! You're under arrest!"

Chapter 343 Hidden merit and fame

When Spider was confronting Kidd, Qin Zhibo, who was in invisible state, set up the [Scare Box] on the path that Spider had to take to escape.

The Scare Box is a trap-type consumable. It is in stealth mode after being set. When passing nearby, the box will be triggered, causing 10~20 will reduction to the target and slowing down the movement speed.

This is the Hell Exhibition Hall. Apart from the entrance which is heavily guarded by police, Spider can only escape towards another exit.

Looking at Spider being knocked down by Officer Nakamori, Qin Zhibo knew it was time for him to retire.

The reduction in willpower caused by wearing the magic ring has reached 50. If the invisibility state is not lifted, he may start talking nonsense.

……

"International killer! You're under arrest!"

Officer Nakamori's English is only at the level of nodding yes and shaking head no, so he doesn't quite understand what Spider means and can only call him by the most simple and unpretentious name.

Spider felt the weight behind him and was very surprised.

In his impression, this Japanese policeman with a moustache was specializing in handling cases involving the Kaito Kidd. How could he not arrest Kidd, but instead arrest him, someone he had just met for the first time...

The suppressed Spider forced a glance and realized that Kidd was nowhere to be found. He was the only intruder left in the entire exhibition hall.

Damn it! I got tricked!

Spider's brain quickly recalled the series of events that happened tonight and believed that he was plotted by Kaito Kidd.

Taking advantage of the darkness caused by the power outage, Kidd, who had already succeeded, could have escaped to the more open area outside the art gallery, but he chose to flee towards this exhibition hall with only two exits, with the intention of leading himself into a carefully set trap.

The box placed on the escape route should be some kind of magic mechanism prop, with mirrors embedded on the outside to create an invisible effect.

Spider isn't very proficient in magic, but this is his general understanding.

Moreover, there were only himself and Kidd in the entire exhibition hall from the beginning. Apart from the trap set by Kidd, Spider couldn't think of a third person.

The thick fog in the exhibition hall gradually dissipated, and Detective Hakuba discovered that Officer Nakamori was holding down a black figure in a forceful man-locking position.

That's... Spider!

Bai Ma Tan couldn't believe his eyes, because in his cognition, Spider was a killer at the top of the world, and it would take at least a long time to catch him.

And even if you catch it, you should catch it with your own hands.

Unexpectedly, he was caught by a policeman who had just learned of his existence from him.

Censored!

Detective Hakuba stood there stunned for two seconds. When his brain accepted the fact that Spider had been caught by Officer Nakamori, he raised his hand and pointed in Spider's direction, shouting with full momentum, "Catch the guy in black!"

At a command, countless policemen rushed towards Officer Nakamori and Spider, using the human pyramid tactic that Japanese police are best at to control the people below.

If it were Kidd, he would have been accustomed to dealing with this trick and could easily blend in with the police using disguise.

But Spider doesn't know how to disguise himself, and his illusion skills, which he is proud of, are not easy to use in such a chaotic situation.

So, Spider was arrested!

……

Qin Zhibo, who was in invisible state, first slipped back to the Sky Pavilion and picked up the pink gem in an inconspicuous corner next to one of the display cabinets.

This was planned in advance by Qin Zhibo and Kidd. After stealing the gems, they would place them in an agreed place and then take them back by themselves.

In the Sky Exhibition Hall, another group of police officers went to support the Hell Exhibition Hall.

Qin Zhibo and other policemen ran over, took off the magic ring on their hands, and walked towards the monitoring room.

……

The large number of mobile police guarding the door of the monitoring room have left under the call of the White Horse Detective. After all, catching Spider is the top priority in the White Horse Detective's mind.

However, there is still someone guarding the monitoring room.

Qin Zhibo knocked on the door against Matsumoto Ryohei's face. The door of the monitoring room opened from the inside and a young policeman opened the door.

"I'm the curator here. I just found the pink gem stolen by Kidd on my way back from the power distribution room."

The police, who were already used to it, grumbled: "It's like this again. I don't know why Kidd would do such a thing..."

Qin Zhibo picked up the gem in his hand and shook it. "The gem has been taken back. I was thinking of telling the high school detective about this."

The policeman shook his head and replied, "Detective White Horse is not here right now."

"Oh..." Qin Zhibo pretended to know about this, nodded, and continued, "Can I go in? The gem is with me now, and it should be safer in the monitoring room..."

The police thought about it and realized that Bai Ma Detective only said that Qin Zhibo was not allowed to leave from here, but did not say that people outside could not come in.

Moreover, the curator is the one who stays here originally, and the gem is also the target of protection this time. Protecting the gem is his duty.

"Well, come in."

In this way, Qin Zhibo returned to the museum's monitoring room under the identity of Matsumoto Ryohei.

Qin Zhibo confirmed the situation in the monitoring room. There were two policemen left behind, and "Qin Zhibo" was standing slightly to the side.

The two policemen returned to the surveillance monitor and continued to observe the situation in the OB Hell Exhibition Hall, while pointing at the situation inside.

"Is that the man Officer Nakamori caught, Kidd?"

"Impossible, Kidd is wearing white clothes, and that guy is wearing black, and he has a strange mask on his head..."

"Could it be Kidd's accomplice? I heard..."

While the two policemen were concentrating on explaining, Qin Zhibo and Matsumoto Ryohei quickly switched their identities back.

After changing their identities, the two people who had hidden their achievements and fame also came to the surveillance screen to observe together.

……

In the Hell Exhibition Hall, two policemen pulled the handcuffed Spider up from the ground.

Spider looked a little embarrassed at this time, and his top-quality nightgown was almost torn apart by the thread.

Without any further ado, Hakuba Tan rushed forward and took off the mask that Spider was wearing.

White Horse Detective had previously discovered that Spider would use this strange lighting fixture that emitted a scarlet glow, whether he was performing on stage or appearing as an international top killer.

Therefore, Bai Ma Tan guessed that this kind of light was one of the necessary conditions for using illusion and must be eliminated immediately.

When the mask was removed, an evil face was revealed.

Seeing this face, Bai Ma frowned.

The same dark blond curly hair, but unlike the white skin during the performance, Spider's real skin color is a healthy wheat color, and there is a spider-shaped tattoo on his left eye.

"Spider, is this your true face?"

"Humph……"

Spider didn't answer, but a contemptuous smile rose slightly at the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, Officer Nakamori, who was holding his waist, came over and stared at Spider's face and muttered, "I think I've seen this face somewhere..."

"Then you must have seen him on TV..."

Bai Ma Tan smiled slightly and explained, "He is the world's most famous illusionist, Günther von Gedobak II..."

"And his other identity is the world's top killer, Spider!"

Chapter 344 The White Horse Detective in Reverse

Officer Nakamori held his chin in his hand and thought for a while before he remembered.

"I remember now! His performance was broadcast on TV last week when Qingzi was watching TV!"

"But that face and this face seem a little different..."

Bai Ma Tan continued to explain: "That face is just a disguise. His name, age, and nationality are also fake..."

"Officer Nakamori, you've done a great job. This guy is a serious international criminal. He's also involved in the murder of a police officer at Scotland Yard."

Although he didn't catch the monster himself, which was a bit regrettable, Bai Ma Tan was not the type to take credit for other people's work.

"Oh?" Officer Nakamori scratched his head, confused. "I see..."

In fact, compared to achieving such a feat, Nakamori still wants to catch Kidd more.

Catching Kaito Kidd with his own hands is the highest recognition of his career.

Moreover, Nakamori rushed into the smoke without hesitation just now not to catch this international killer, but to catch Kaito Kidd.

However, Nakamori did not find Kaito Kid in the smoke, but saw this international killer moving at an extremely slow speed. Nakamori instinctively pounced on him from behind.

At this time, a subordinate came over to report that Kidd had given up the pink gem, and the gem had been picked up by the director of the art museum.

Only when he heard this good news did Officer Nakamori feel truly happy.

"Haha! We successfully repelled Kidd, protected the gem, and captured an international criminal!"

"A great victory in battle tonight!"

Officer Nakamori and his men cheered enthusiastically, while Hakuba walked up to Spider and smiled the confident smile of a winner.

"There are many things I would like to know from you before I hand you over to Interpol."

"For example, the organization behind you..."

Hakuba Detective hasn't forgotten why he tracked down Spider.

In the case of the murder of a Scotland Yard police officer half a month ago, some information about Spider was found in the investigation notes hidden in the police officer's home.

It is mentioned that Spider's next target is Kaito Kidd.

There is also a huge organization hidden behind Spider, but the Scotland Yard officer has not found out more detailed information about this organization.

Bai Ma Tan had a vague feeling in his heart that the mysterious organization he investigated by following Spider's line was the real boss.
