Chapter five hundred and thirty eight - see tricks
"It seems that we have found it," said the caped man lightly. "Mr. Kidd."
"Hey?" The policeman was stunned.
"Before getting on the airship, I asked Officer Nakamori to gather all the police officers involved, and then told them a task, which was to ask them to recite their own police officer ID number." The cape man said. "I remember correctly, you have encountered a similar situation, right?"
The police said nothing.
"I reviewed your file, checked your crime records, and found that there was a very interesting record," said the cape man. "Once, you were in an operation in a bell tower that was about to be demolished. (Author: the summoned detective Shinichi Kudo vs. Kidd Kid) In that event, you had once exposed your feet."
Qianyu's auxiliary unit captured the strange expression of the policeman.
"In that time, Officer Nakamori once interrogated you who was disguised as a policeman and asked what your police officer's ID number was." The cape man continued. "You answered very smoothly that time, but this proved that you were just a thief Kid, because it was almost impossible for normal people to do this."
The police had obviously reorganized their mood and just stood quietly, looking at Conan, the Caped Man and Chia from time to time - as if they hadn't seen Ai Haibara at all.
"But this time, we chose to do the opposite," continued the cape man. "After that setback, you should have remembered that you should not rashly reveal that you remember the other party's police officer's certificate number, so as long as we let the accompanying police officer remember the police officer's certificate number, you will be exposed."
Qian Yu was fully prepared to shoot, and then took a deep breath again.
To be honest, if he was a thief Kid, he would probably have to reveal his feelings this time, because this trap was really good at digging.
"But if that's the case, who is the monster thief Kid we just saw?" the policeman asked suddenly. "Mr. Kogoro Mori and Ke Sakai are still chasing him!"
"We haven't seen Sakai from beginning to end, didn't we?" said the caped man lightly. "At the same time, we only heard someone in the voice of Kogoro Mori, holding Sakai's intercom and saying this to us - all of them are done by you."
"If I were the thief Kid, I wouldn't have done that," the policeman smiled and shook his head. "If Mr. Maori is here, all this will be revealed."
"Mori Kogoro will not appear here, right?" asked the cape man. "Mr. pretending to be Moori Kogoro? Don't deny it with me, because we have learned that someone has sent Maori Kogoro to a hospital in Guam with his previous patient Honda."
Qianyu was shocked and looked at the policeman with an incredible look, but Conan in his sight did not even have any physical movements that could express surprise.
“After we knew you were Kidd, we modified our previous plans,” the caped man continued. “Teaching others against you in the space where you could be monitored, because we don’t need to worry about any possibility of being heard and countered.”
"Is this the countermeasures you mentioned?" The policeman looked at the water under his feet. "I understand now why you have to prepare high-soled police boots for the police. Is it just to act in such an environment?"
"Yes, just a backup method," the cape shrugged. "But now it seems that we don't need to use backup method at all, because that's only when everyone is here."
"Okay," the policeman shook his head with a smile. "If that's the case, I'll just be reluctant to do what you want."
Taking off his hat, unbuttoned the police uniform and took off his police uniform and soft armor. The monster thief Kid then took off the human skin mask from his face and looked at Conan's hands calmly. "So, can you guys really stop me? I don't think you can do this."
"It's better than calling all the people outside in and giving you space to disguise, right?" asked the cape man.
"Okay," Kidd shrugged. "To be honest, it's really cold, so let's not waste too much time here."
"You can try it," replied the caped man. "I really want to see if the monster thief Kid has really made some progress, or is still standing there."
A hint of surprise flashed across Kid's face, but then disappeared without a trace. At the same time, his hands reached into the pocket of his shirt exposed. "So, let's start next?"
The cape man snorted coldly. "Come on, just use any tricks."
Kidd's eyes moved from Conan's hand to the face of the cape man, and then slowly stretched out his hands from his pocket, protecting the things in his hands from being seen by Qian Yu and the others.
"Bang!" A noticeable explosion sounded from Kidd's hands, but nothing happened.
"Ah, it looks like your smoke bomb is broken, isn't it?" The cape man had an exaggerated kind-hearted tone of concern. "How about it, do you want me to repair it for you?"
Kidd frowned and stared at the face of the caped man, with a clear look of confusion on his face.
"Because of a previous reconnaissance operation, the police seized one of your consumable props, and I had the opportunity to carefully study your props," replied the cape man. "After our interpretation, we confirmed that your smoke bomb is made of white phosphorus as a smoke agent. After manually crushing the smoke bomb and pushing the trigger mechanism to trigger a heat release reaction, the heat penetrates the inert material shell wrapped in white phosphorus through the heat, so that the white phosphorus contained inside begins to spontaneously ignite and release heat under the high temperature."
"But at the same time, after testing, we noticed one thing, that is, to reduce the volume of the smoke bomb, the heat-expressing device has very limited ability." The cape man continued, and Kidd on the opposite side was obviously listening to what he said. "Now, do you understand why I have to talk to you here for so long and why this observation hall is so cold? It is to drag time to cool the shell and white phosphorus of the smoke bomb you carry as much as possible, resulting in the heat generated by the exothermic reaction to heat the white phosphorus to a level that is sufficient to spontaneously ignite."
