Chapter 263: Resolving the Crisis Version 2.0

PreviousBack to directoryNext
In the conversation between the white horse detective and the housekeeper Ah Fu, Qin Zhibo heard a key word, which is "hair strands".

Detective White Horse looked into his head through this hair, and based on this, he concluded that he was Kaitou Kidd.

As for the origin of this hair, Qin Zhibo made a reasonable guess that it should have been left behind when he was doing something invisible in the Rice Flower Museum yesterday.

But Qin Zhibo didn't expect that the white horse detective could actually find this inconspicuous hair and use it as a clue to trace it to his head.

Be crazy about details!

It seems that I should consider wearing a hood when doing things in the future...

It is precisely because of this hair that Bai Ma Tan's misunderstanding was too deep.

Basically, the understanding of Baimatan can be described in a few words.

Qin Zhibo: Oops! I have become Kaitou Kidd’s true identity!

Kuroba Kaito: Damn it! I became Kaitou Kid's substitute!

Terai Kinosuke: Damn it! Kaitou Kid has become my substitute!

Next, Detective White Horse's plan is to capture Kaitou Kidd, and then capture Qin Zhibo at the same time.

Although these two steps of the plan are carried out at the same time, there is also a sequence.

First of all, they must arrest "Phantom Thief Kidd" who was wearing a Kaitou Kidd costume and was preparing to steal, and then arrest Qin Zhibo who was at the scene.

According to Detective White Horse's idea, there would be no one outside the detention center pretending to be Phantom Thief Kidd to exonerate the two of them.

But the actual situation is that Kinosuke Terai, as Kaitou Kidd's assistant, also has the ability to disguise himself as Kaitou Kidd.

But Qin Zhibo is not like being caught by the police and put in prison for observation for a period of time before being gradually cleared of suspicion.

Otherwise, Qin Zhibo staying in prison will become a real version of living like a year...

So there are two ways to resolve the current crisis.

One is to follow the principle of "friends are meant to be betrayed" and tell the police that Kuroba Kaito and Terai Konosuke are Kaitou Kidd and Kaitou Kidd's assistants.

But there are two disadvantages to doing this.

Disadvantage one is that I have no evidence to prove the identity of these two people. I forgot to record the last conversation at the Blue Parrot Bar.

The second disadvantage is that the reason why he has not reported it to the police for so long is that Qin Zhibo thinks that people with special skills like Kuroba Kaito will be useful to him in the future.

Another way to resolve the crisis is to follow the principle of "helping a friend is helping yourself" and help Kuroba Kaito escape smoothly.

If Detective White Horse couldn't catch Phantom Thief Kidd who was wearing a suit and committing a robbery, there would be no legitimate reason to catch him.

On the contrary, in the eyes of others, Qin Zhibo and Kaitou Kidd appeared at the same time, and they no longer thought that he was Kaitou Kidd.

There is also a troublesome thing about this method, that is, if the White Horse Detective can't be shaken off like a dog-skin plaster, wouldn't he have to give a small favor every time in the future when Phantom Thief Kidd encounters a crisis?

Just when Qin Zhibo was thinking about which of the two methods to implement, a voice came to his ears again.

Afu: "Master, news just came from the airport that Günter von Goldberg II took his private plane back to Europe at 8:00 this morning."

Ah Fu: "It is expected that he will tour in Europe for a week and return to Japan next week."

Detective White Horse: "It seems that he is also eyeing Kaitou Kidd's preview for next week..."

Detective White Horse: "Spider, Kaitou Kidd's true form, Kaitou Kidd's stand-in... It seems like things are going to get lively by then."

The car became quiet again.

Qin Zhibo in the office was shocked after hearing what Detective Baima said.

The word "Spider" was suddenly mentioned in Baima Tan's mouth. Qin Zhibo believed that this was no coincidence.

Detective White Horse also knows about Spider, and he also knows that Spider’s target is Kaitou Kidd!

This surprised Qin Zhibo, because he learned about Spider's existence and goals by eavesdropping on the conversation between Xia Mei and Qinglan.

And the White Horse Detective actually knew...

Spider's previous activities were in Europe, and Baimatan's previous schooling place was in the UK.

In other words, Detective White Horse most likely discovered the existence of Spider in some case in the UK, and then pursued it all the way back to Japan.

At this time, Qin Zhibo remembered that he was in the invisible state and heard Baima Tan in the museum saying that he was not interested in Kaitou Kidd and that there was someone else he was really interested in.

He wants to find out about Kaito Kidd because Spider wants to attack Kaitou Kidd.

The real target of White Horse Detective is Spider!

If that's the case...

Qin Zhibo slapped his forehead and thought of a version 2.0 on top of the two ways to resolve the crisis.

That's catching Spider!

As long as Spider is captured, Detective White Horse's attention will be diverted from Kaitou Kidd.

But regarding catching Spider, Qin Zhibo still couldn't show up in person for his own safety.

This requires some behind-the-scenes work. After all, Spider is no ordinary person.

Fortunately, for other people, one week is really just one week, but for Qin Zhibo, at least he has a month to prepare.

First, Qin Zhibo planned to visit an old friend.

...

In front of the Zhongshi Art Museum, Qin Zhibo saw that the Zhongshi Art Museum had begun to warm up for the gem exhibition in a week and made various arrangements.

Qin Zhibo entered the museum free of charge and found Matsumoto Ryohei in the director's office.

"I heard that Kaitou Kidd sent you a notice for next week's gem exhibition?"

Matsumoto Ryohei looked surprised and asked doubtfully: "How did you know about this? The police were just notified about the notice letter."

Qin Zhibo explained: "Actually, I have been invited by the police to participate in the guarding of the gems."

After listening to Qin Zhibo's words, the surprise on Matsumoto Ryohei's face changed from confusion to calmness, and then he showed a faint smile.

"If it were you, I would be relieved."

"The collector who provided the gems this time, Mr. JP Tana, is a friend of my father. If the gems are lost in my hands, everything will be difficult to deal with."

After Matsumoto Ryohei said this, he added Qin Zhibo's name to the activity schedule for next week's gem show recorded on his computer.

At this moment, Qin Zhibo bent down to Matsumoto Ryohei's ear and said a word lightly.

"Actually, I know Kaitou Kidd..."

Upon hearing this, the fingers typing on the keyboard immediately stopped. Matsumoto Ryohei was startled for a moment, and slowly turned back to look at Qin Zhibo.

The gourmet's eyes can speak, as if asking, "Are you telling the truth?"

Qin Zhibo nodded solemnly: "It's absolutely true."

Matsumoto Ryohei was silent, while Qin Zhibo continued: "I want you and I to do me a favor, that is, let Kaitou Kidd come and confirm the gems in advance."

"As long as it is confirmed that it is not the gem he wants, he will not attack any gems in this gem show..."

Matsumoto Ryohei held his chin and thought for a moment, then replied something that Qin Zhibo couldn't answer for a while.

"What if after confirmation, it is found to be the gem he wanted?"
