Qin Zhibo recalled the conversation he had just had with the old man. It was probably that Judy Hooper's parents were burned to death, which triggered Cheng Shi's emotional sensitivity.
Similar sad experiences, coupled with a low willpower of 40, make it easy to feel sad.
But she cried as much as she wanted. The level of development of her lacrimal glands was almost the same as that of Xiaolan.
Qin Zhibo took out Kudo Shinichi's handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Cheng Shi.
"Thank you." Chengshi reached out and took the handkerchief, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with a forced smile on his lips.
"Sorry, I thought of something..."
"It's okay, I understand."
Qin Zhibo didn't say much else because the performance started again.
...
The performance in the second half was still unremarkable, with vaudeville-like stunts and common magic performances.
A magician named "Boll" performed on the stage, changing pigeons and ribbons, and received polite applause from the guests in the audience.
To be honest, for Qin Zhibo, who has even seen magic, some of this kind of magic performance was once difficult to overcome.
However, Qin Zhibo still admires the magician industry, especially after watching a movie called "The Magic".
The magicians there work hard offstage for the effect of the magic show, and are even willing to sacrifice some things.
At that time, there was a scene where the cage was flattened and the pigeons in the cage disappeared, which shocked Qin Zhibo who was watching the movie.
The pigeons in this magic trick did not disappear out of thin air, but were slapped flat in the cage by the magician. Each performance consumes one pigeon.
Therefore, the magician and the prop master behind him raised many pigeons, which are all consumables for performances on stage.
It is estimated that today's magicians will not perform this kind of performance, because Qin Zhibo did not see many pigeon cages in Kuroba Kaito's house.
"Oh, it looks like there's another one on top of my head!"
Boll took off his top hat, and a duck lay on his head, which made the audience burst into laughter.
Suddenly, the lights in the restaurant went out, and a host stepped forward to announce tonight's finale.
"Okay, now comes the finale of tonight's dinner show."
"The magician responsible for the grand finale is..."
Accompanied by tight drum beats and beams of light that randomly shot across the stage, a cloud of smoke dispersed on the stage.
Qin Zhibo narrowed his eyes slightly and said in his heart: Here it comes.
In the mist, a cloaked figure gradually appeared, and the iconic white uniform became the focus of the audience.
"Kaitou Kidd!"
The host exclaimed into the microphone, and Ginzo Nakamori, who had been squatting against the wall outside to listen, immediately opened the door and barged in.
"Kaitan Kidd appears!"
"catch him!"
Nakamori Ginzo gave the order, and the police officers behind him rushed into the restaurant, and formed a counterattack with the guests who wanted to escape from the restaurant, but instead became a mess.
Seeing the police taking action, Kidd was not in a hurry. He grabbed the brim of his top hat with one hand, covering his face, and rushed out of the door through the chaotic crowd.
"Kidd is there, chase him quickly!"
Nakamori Ginzo pointed out the direction and rushed to the corridor with the police, leaving the restaurant in a mess.
Qin Zhibo looked at the door of the restaurant and felt that Kaitou Kidd was a little weird today.
First of all, he didn't say any lines. Generally speaking, Kidd would say some pretense lines.
Secondly, Kidd's behavior is a bit confusing. The gem should be in the restaurant, why did he run out?
Could it be that he has succeeded behind the scenes?
Even after he succeeds, he doesn't show off in front of the police. Isn't it his character?
Qin Zhibo glanced at the living room. Most of the guests had fled, and even Snake and his little brother who were sitting at the back were missing.
Have you chased him out already?
Every time, Snake would grab the gem immediately after Kidd succeeded, so they would probably have chased him out.
"Wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."
Qin Zhibo settled Aso Shi and quickly rushed out of the corridor, leaving Cheng Shi sitting in the empty restaurant at a loss.
...
In the corridor, Nakamori Ginzo chased after Kidd, shouting as he ran.
"Stop! Kidd!"
"stop!"
Although the content of shouting has no practical use, you can improve your muscle explosive power through the act of shouting. This is scientifically based.
"Kid" in front was running when he suddenly took out a pistol from his arms and fired in the rear.
Pia——
A gunshot rang out in the corridor.
Nakamori Ginzo was startled by the shot and stopped, staring in disbelief at the scorched black hole still smoking on the hotel carpet.
Kidd actually shot...
He had been arresting the thief Kidd for eighteen years, and this was the first time he saw Kidd firing a real gun at the police.
Ye Qingjie!
But even so, he still firmly believed in his heart and risked his life to catch Kaitou Kidd.
"Keep chasing!"
Nakamori Ginzo continued to run forward with the police, and Qin Zhibo behind him also heard the gunshot.
Since he didn't see the situation in front of him, Qin Zhibo thought it was Snake who shot Kidd. After all, the organization behind him had always wanted to get rid of Kidd, so there was a high possibility of a cold shot being fired from behind.
Although Kidd's life is relatively high, it is still quite worrying.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo sped up his running speed and chased him to the hotel platform. When he saw Nakamori Ginzo and his men standing by the railing, they looked at him and sighed.
In the night sky outside the hotel, Kidd stood out wearing a pure white hang glider, like a free-flying bird, and he did not appear to have been shot.
Qin Zhibo breathed a sigh of relief and came to Zhongsen's side, "Officer Zhongsen, where was the person who shot just now?"
What Qin Zhibo wanted to ask was where Snake was.
Nakamori Ginzo pointed to "Kid" in the sky and replied: "That's him..."
Qin Zhibo looked at Kidd in disbelief, his eyes widening.
Kidd, a shot was fired?
Qin Zhibo immediately called up the field of view of the telescope and looked at "Kid" in the sky.
What I saw under the top hat was not Kuroba Kaito's charmingly handsome and confident face, but a small-eyed man with a lewd smile.
This is not Kaitou Kidd!
In the chaos in the restaurant just now, this "Kid" kept grabbing the brim of his hat with his hand, making it impossible for Qin Zhibo to see the message above his head.
The requirement for the investigator's field of view is that there must be no obstruction on the subject's face. Masks, respirators, and even sunglasses are regarded as an obstruction to the face and cannot reveal the information above the head.
In addition, the hairstyle behind the fake Kidd is exactly the same as that of the real Kidd, with little thorns on his head, which is very confusing.
The most incredible thing is that this fake Kidd actually has black technology like a wearable hang glider.
Although the hang glider itself is nothing, the wearable hang glider used by Kaitou Kidd is made of ultra-lightweight materials and a controllable folding device. It is a black technology produced by Dr. Agasa.
Not only is this fake Kidd's glider perfectly restored at a 1:1 ratio, but its performance seems to be on par with Kidd's glider, and it can perform various difficult maneuvers with ease.
Looking at "Kid" circling in the night sky, but not flying away, Nakamori Ginsan's teeth were itching, but there was nothing he could do.
Qin Zhibo felt that this fake Kidd was not like an ordinary Kidd imitator. The black technology and pistols on his body were not something ordinary people could obtain.
In other words, is this actually a "high imitation of Kidd" created by the Beast Brotherhood?
It’s to sway the tiger away from the mountain!
After thinking about this clearly, Qin Zhibo quickly ran back, leaving Nakamori Ginzo to continue "looking at Ji and sighing".
...
On the other side, the backstage of the restaurant.
Snake and a group of boys wearing beige trench coats have controlled the members of Hooper's thaumaturgy troupe and are forcing Judy Hooper to hand over the gems.
"I'll count to three. If you don't want to see these people bleed, hand over the gem."
Snake aimed his pistol at the old man at his feet, but the old man remained unyielding.
"Absolutely not! Miss! That gem is..."
Before he could finish his words, Snake stomped hard on the old man's back and shot the old man in the side of the head.
Pia——
The old man passed out and Snake also started counting down.
"1......"
"Robert!" Judy Hooper stepped forward to save her companions, but Snake's pistol was pointed at her again.
"2...3."
As soon as Snake finished speaking, he pulled the trigger without hesitation, as if he was going to destroy the flower.
At this critical moment, Bol next to him jumped out in front of Judy Hooper, and the bullet just hit his chest.
"Boll!"
The magician named "Boll" was shot and fell, but Snake just showed a joking smile and didn't care at all.
"Okay, Miss, if you don't want anyone to sacrifice anymore, just hand over the gem."
"I'll give it to you! Anyway, I don't want this cursed gem anymore!"
With tears in her eyes, Judy Hooper pulled out the gem brooch from her chest and was about to throw it away when "Bol", who was lying in her arms, suddenly took action and grabbed her wrist to stop the gem from being thrown out.
"Absolutely not, Miss, you can never give gems to them..."
While everyone looked shocked, "Boll" stood up again and opened his clothes with a smile.
A piece of white cloth covered his body, and in the next second, "Bol" wearing a beige suit turned into the official Phantom Thief Kidd.
Judy Hooper looked in shock as the people around her suddenly turned into Kaitou Kid. She didn't know what was going on. Just now she clearly saw another "Kid" running out of the restaurant.
"Haha! The gem belongs to me!"
Kidd didn't say much and just threw out a special smoke bomb developed by Terai's father's friend, and white smoke suddenly erupted in the background.
When the smoke cleared, Kidd and Judy Hooper had long disappeared backstage, along with the gems, of course.
"We can't let Kidd take away the gems, chase him quickly!"
Snake yelled and immediately ran towards the backstage exit with his younger brother.
As the dangerous person left, the actors backstage breathed a sigh of relief and quickly helped Robert up.
At this time, a head poked out from the entrance of the stage and looked at the situation inside.
"I thought I heard gunshots just now... What happened?"
Several actors turned to look at the owner of the voice, who was a black-haired girl who looked very beautiful.
"Captain, she was kidnapped by Kidd."
"Some bad guys also followed..."
These actors couldn't figure out what was going on. Logically speaking, Kidd was the bad guy, and the men in trench coats with guns were even more bad guys, but the two sides didn't seem to be on the same team, which was very strange.
But there is no doubt that Captain Judy is a weak woman and it is dangerous to be caught among bad guys.
Hearing this answer, Chengshi thought of Judy Hooper's life experience which was similar to her own, and felt some sympathy for her.
In addition, I was saved by someone in the first place, so I could gain a new life and get out of the shadow of the past.
If it hadn't been for Mr. Qin, I might have perished with those bad guys on Yueying Island long ago...
This time it's my turn to save others!
Thinking in his heart, Aso's eyes became determined, he tore open the hem of his skirt, took off his low-heeled shoes, and ran into the passage where the bad guys went in amidst the surprised eyes of the actors.
...
In the hotel stairs, Kidd, the thief, was running upstairs with Judy Hooper.
Originally, he had planned to give up on stealing the gem "Crimson Tears" yesterday.
The reason for giving up was that he remembered participating in the "Fire Magician" performance with his father Kuroha Toichi when he was a child. Kuroha Toichi once revealed the essence of this gem.
In fact, this is not a natural gem, but an artificial gem made by James Hooper for his granddaughter, which can achieve a kind of fantastic magic.
The artificial gem cannot be Pandora's stone, so there is no need to steal it.
But just when Kidd quietly approached Judy Hooper, preparing to put the notice to cancel the theft on the short-haired beauty who openly provoked Kidd, he saw Snake following her, and naturally he understood the Beast Brotherhood. I have no intention of letting go of this gem.
They didn't know it was an artificial gemstone, and they couldn't believe what they said, so they would definitely try their best to seize the gemstone.
In order to let the presence of the police slightly deter Snake and others, Kidd did not cancel his previous notice letter.
But what he didn't expect was that these people actually made a high-quality imitation of themselves, attracted all the policemen away, and took hostages.
He had no choice but to stand up and take a shot at the critical moment.
However, he had already calculated that he would be shot, so he wore the body armor made by Terai's father's friend last time. It was strong and durable.
Just now he shouted "The gem is mine" in public, in order to attract Snake and others to chase him, so that the other actors backstage would be completely safe.
From this point of view, Snake and Nakamori Ginzo are still very similar, and Gems and Kidd can easily lure the two away.
After running dozens of steps, the two Kidds finally stopped.
"Boll, where is he now?" Judy Hooper asked coldly.
She doesn't have a good impression of Kaitou Kidd, after all he is a world-class thief.
"Don't worry, I've let him fall asleep in a safe place..."
Kidd responded with a smile, which made Judy Hooper look stunned. She felt in her heart that Kidd was not as scary as the legend said, but more like a considerate gentleman who seemed to be able to communicate.
The key is that he is somewhat handsome...
But just as the atmosphere was becoming more relaxed, several gunshots were suddenly heard from behind, and Snake caught up with him alone.
He raised his pistol angrily, no longer caring who he hit, he was just shooting indiscriminately.
The bullet grazed Kidd's arm, leaving a trail of blood on it.
Kidd looked stern and hurriedly hid behind the steps, rummaging through his arms for various magic props before he could fight back.
Judy Hooper looked at Kidd's pocket, which looked like a small treasure trove. She immediately thought of a plan and quickly reached out and took out a flask and a lighter.
A mouthful of strong liquor was poured into his mouth, and a lighter was ready in front of him.
Art fire escape ho fireball!
A ball of flames shot towards Snake at the bottom of the steps, and the flames reaching into the sky immediately enveloped him.
After breathing out the fire, Judy Hooper let go of the suffocating breath in her heart, pinched her waist and let out an Uchiha laugh.
"Haha! You really deserve it! Haha..."
However, just like the golden rule that the fireball technique has never achieved the effect of killing the enemy, Snake, whose clothes were only blackened, quickly stood up again.
"You're laughing your ass off!"
