Maori Kogoro began to understand everything

Conan also stared at the surveillance screen: "He seems to have arrived..."

"Ah? Where is it? Where is it?" Sonoko and Ran were looking for the screen expectantly, while Ai was also staring at the surveillance screen intently.

"Enlarge this picture!"

"call!"

A white hang glider flew across the night sky and appeared under the bright full moon. Kidd's familiar figure came into everyone's sight, and the passers-by who had been waiting for a long time suddenly became excited.

"It's Kidd! Kidd has appeared!!"

“Damn it!” Nakamori gritted his teeth and rushed to the surveillance screen, grabbing the staff member by the collar, “Which helicopter took this picture?! Tell me quickly! Tell me!”

The staff looked at Nakamori with a frightened look on his face. "Yes, it's Unit 7. It's in the sky above the back of the museum..."

"later?"

Nakamori rushed out of the surveillance car angrily: "Get out of the way!"

Maori saw Conan running out closely and his eyes moved slightly.

To be honest, Maori's relationship with Kid is a bit special. They can't be considered allies, but he doesn't have Conan's urgency to capture Kid, but he won't let this guy succeed...

"Advisor!" the staff member asked nervously, "What should we do? To be on the safe side, we should activate the device and move the goddess statue inside..."

"No need," Suzuki Jirokichi stared at the screen and shouted, "Don't panic, he's just here to take a look today, he won't steal! And his preview said he'll come on foot to get it, so let's see how this thief known as the Moonlight Magician will make his debut?!"

"Where's he?" Nakamori pushed through the crowd and rushed to the back of the museum, "Where's that guy?"

"Officer, he ran across the building and never came out again..."

"Damn it! Everyone, be careful. We can't let him get into the museum!"

Conan followed the shouting Officer Nakamori and looked around with a serious expression.

If we don't fall to the ground, we won't be able to walk as described in the trailer, but in this case, we won't even be able to get close to the museum...

"Bang!" Suddenly an explosion attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked up and saw that as the smoke dissipated, Kidd's white figure appeared in front of everyone. He stood in the air with his hands in the air under the moonlight, and his cloak fluttered in the wind under everyone's horrified gaze.

"what?"

"Float, float in the air?"

"How is this possible?!" Conan stared at Kid who was lying motionless above.

The human body can actually ignore gravity and float in the air. Is there something like a steel wire?

In the surveillance car, Suzuki Jiroyoshi grabbed the intercom in the commotion: "Don't be fooled! This is a trick! Kidd must have used a black hot air balloon or something to hang a steel wire rope from the air to fix his body!"

"Get on top of him! Send the nearby helicopter over his head to confirm!"

"Unit 7 understands, move towards Kidd immediately..."

In the surveillance footage, a helicopter was moving towards Kidd's head, and Yuanzi broke out in a cold sweat: "Uncle, if there really is a wire rope, it would be terrible if it got entangled with the helicopter's propeller..."

"Humph," Suzuki Jirokichi said calmly, "That guy should have thought of this a long time ago. Anyway, if the helicopter gets close, he will definitely cut the rope and escape..."

Mao Li crossed his arms and looked at the screen silently.

He still didn't know Kidd's intentions, but no matter what, it was impossible for Kidd to ignore the gravity of the earth. It was probably some kind of trick...

"This is Unit 7!" The helicopter hovered above Kidd's head. Nothing could be seen under the vertical illumination of the light pole. "There's nothing above Kidd's head!"

"W-what?" Suzuki Jirokichi's face changed drastically. "Is it hanging on the buildings on both sides? It can't be floating in the air. Look for a rope!"

Amid the screams of the crowd, Conan followed a policeman and hurried to the roof of the nearby building. He went forward to check against the airflow created by the propeller, but he could not find any rope at all.

Not only the top, but also the two sides have no support...

"How on earth are you standing in the air?!"

"Hmph," Kidd glanced at Conan, cleared his throat, spread his arms and shouted loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, please watch the miracle I create the night before I take action!"

"Da da!"

As everyone stared with wide eyes, Kidd took incredible steps, as if he was walking on a layer of glass, and walked towards the museum step by step.

"Are you kidding me?"

Loud cheers suddenly rang out around the museum. Kidd, covered by searchlights, strolled leisurely in the waves of sound and approached the museum as if he was in an empty space. It seemed as if Kidd was the only one left in the world. The sound of his footsteps was clearly heard in everyone's heart, and everyone in the surveillance car couldn't help but hold their breath.

“Really…really walking…”

"Oh my god," Sonoko nervously grabbed Mori's arm, almost stunned, "Uncle, even you, a famous detective, can't understand it, right? Kid is so amazing!!"

Maori looked helplessly at the excited Sonoko.

Please, Kidd is trying to steal something from your house, it’s priceless…

"I don't know how they did it, but there is no magic that cannot be cracked, no matter how incredible it may seem."

Speechless, Mao Li still looked at Kidd walking in the air as if walking on flat ground under the helicopter, and said seriously, "In fact, he did this a day in advance, is it really to scout the terrain?"

"Detective Mori," Suzuki Jirokichi almost lost his previous arrogance, watching Kid approach the museum, sweat dripping from the corners of his eyes, "Can you please tell me how he did it?"

Mao Li frowned, but before he could speak——

"This is Unit 3," the communication reported, "Kid is now flying over Shiodome Park. At this rate, he will reach the blue miracle on the roof of the museum in less than a minute..."

Suzuki Jirokichi looked gloomy and gave up, saying, "There's no other way. Let's activate that mechanism."

"clatter!"

Kidd grinned and suddenly stopped in mid-air.

"Okay, that's all for today's performance. See you at the same place tomorrow night at 12 o'clock!"

"what?"

Before the audience could react, they saw Kidd disappear in another smoke explosion, leaving no trace at all. Only a few helicopters with searchlights were left in the night sky searching in vain.

"It disappeared...from the sky..."

There was silence in the surveillance car. Suzuki Jirokichi looked unhappy, but Maori was very calm.

After all, they have dealt with each other many times. Although Kidd's trick this time was as shocking as usual, he still noticed something.

……

"call--"

In front of Shiodome Park, where Kid first appeared, Maori walked against the cold wind to the iron mesh fence on the roof of the building next to him.

The helicopter has withdrawn, and the passers-by who were watching the excitement on the street below also left one after another with excitement. The noisy scene gradually became deserted, but the media must have been in an uproar.

The incredible aerial walk, the miraculous and gorgeous performance, coupled with the terrifying popularity of Kaito Kid, I wonder what kind of shock it will cause...

Maori looked quietly at the air where Kid appeared, and the image of Kaito appeared in his mind again.

The action of walking in the air is so real that you can't tell that any technique is used just by looking at it. It was also confirmed on the scene that there are no ropes hanging. But if there is a special glass as a support, Conan who went to the roof to check it out personally would not be able to fail to see it.

but……

Maori glanced in the direction of the Suzuki Museum, walked around the roof with his hands on his chest, and found a few new scratches on the wall under the iron mesh.

Maori squatted down and looked at the scratches, then looked at the building opposite, chuckled with satisfaction, turned around and left the roof.

Chapter 120: The so-called magic is stupid once the secret is revealed

At the Suzuki Museum, Maori and his party followed old man Jiroyoshi into the top floor. After the device was activated, the goddess statue outside was replaced by a fake goddess statue.

"So that's how it is. You can swap the real thing with the fake by just flipping it over... But Kidd can see through this little trick right away..."

Officer Nakamori had a sour look on his face, still upset about Kidd's escape.

"Of course," Suzuki Jirokichi snorted, "I don't expect that I can hide it from his eyes..."

"In that case, let us, the police, handle it tomorrow," Officer Nakamori stressed. "Tell your helicopters not to fly and just wait patiently..."

"It's just the opposite," the old man interrupted Officer Nakamori, his face dangerous, "Humph, that guy said he would show up at the same location tomorrow night, so we can be on high alert! I will rent all the buildings in that area and deploy several times more helicopters and guards than tonight!"

"Huh..." Officer Nakamori's mind was a little confused.

"Anyway, although I don't know what means he used to walk in the air, if he dares to do it again, I will definitely catch him and write it into the last chapter of my autobiography!"

Maori ignored the old man Jirokichi who was talking nonsense, and just held his chin and thought.

Magic may seem amazing at first glance, but it is actually very stupid. Generally, magic will set up many traps or obstacles, especially psychological obstacles, so many magic tricks will often mislead the audience at the beginning to divert the audience's attention, thereby hiding the parts that they don't want the audience to see.

He almost knew what Kidd was doing this time, but today's performance seemed to be part of Kidd's magic tricks. It looked like a diversion...

"Contact lenses?"

Sonoko, who was talking to old man Jirokichi, was surprised and asked, "Uncle Jirokichi, is your eyesight not good?"

"I am already 72 years old," the old man sighed, "and all parts of my body are no longer under my control, but... at least I have to catch that guy while I am still alive..."

Officer Nakamori had no idea that there was someone who wanted to catch Kid as much as he did, and who wasn't even a police officer.

"Why do you hate Kidd so much?"

"Of course!"

The old man's whole face was squeezed together.

"All the honors I have received so far have always been on the front page of the newspaper, except for one time..."

"Could it be..."

"Yes! The report about that thief not only took up the front page, but also the second page. Even my feat of flying around the world in a human-powered airplane was pushed to the corner of the third page!"

The old man grabbed Officer Nakamori's clothes madly and fiercely: "Do you understand the humiliation I have suffered?! Can you understand the sadness I feel?!"

"Uh..." Officer Nakamori wiped the sweat off his forehead, "I might understand a little bit..."

"Kaito Kidd, I will never forgive him!" The old man clenched his fists and said with great enthusiasm, "When we catch that guy, Suzuki Jirokichi will make a comeback on the front page!!"

"..."

Maori stood there with droopy eyelids.

If only Kaito could be caught so easily, this old man will probably suffer in the future...

……

The next day, helicopters hovered over the Suzuki Museum like flies, onlookers filled the nearby streets, and there were even more reporters than yesterday.

Kaito Kid's performance really caused a sensation...

Mao Li and his group walked together: "It's really exaggerated..."

"Yeah," Conan said listlessly, "I still don't think that old man can catch Kidd."

"But speaking of which," Xiao Ai looked around at the noisy crowd, "there are so many people watching the fun, the police should probably ban anyone from coming in..."

"My uncle put it in specially!" Sonoko explained, "He said that the scene of arresting Kid needs to have a real audience."

"Haha..." Conan complained, "This way, he can also get free advertising for his museum, and luxurious aerial coverage..."

Sonoko looked at Conan suspiciously: "I say, kid, what are you mumbling about?"

"It's nothing, Sonoko-sister," Conan quickly pretended to be childish, "Are we just going to wait here?"

"Of course not," Sonoko chuckled, "Uncle Jirokichi has already prepared a special place for us."

"A special location?"

……

The rooftop of the building that Maori checked last night was not only specially cleaned, but also had a parasol and a set of luxurious tables and chairs placed near the edge.

"Ms. Sonoko, we have been waiting for a long time," a male waiter greeted Sonoko and Maori who were brought up by the police, "Then you and your friends please sit over there..."

"Thank you."

"What kind of drink would you like?"

"Just arrange it as you like," Sonoko sat down at the table, "Don't disturb us if you don't have anything else."

"Ok."
