"Yes," Suzuki Sonoko touched her chin, "when he encountered this kind of thing in the past, wouldn't he shout something like 'I will definitely catch the thief'? What he said tonight must be false, no need
I didn’t care, but then I received the very real notice letter, and I didn’t seem to pay much attention to catching Kidd. I lost my temper at one moment and started laughing at the other. It was really strange.”
"I just came here, so I don't know much about it, but I heard from other servants that the master seems to only eat in the room recently. When collecting the plates, there are always two missing." The maid wiped the floor and took the tablecloth.
Standing up, "And that's not the only strange thing. Every time after dinner, the master always goes to the room with the vault to have a look, and he goes there with a cane..."
"Uncle is on crutches?" Suzuki Sonoko confirmed in surprise.
"Yes." The maid nodded.
"Perhaps you need crutches and a plate to open the door of that vault," Kogoro Mori took out his cigarette case, shook out a cigarette and bit it, "After all, it was a vault designed by Kichiemon Sansui, so it must not be that
It's easy to open, but the slip just now really shocked me..."
Conan felt a little guilty, so he quietly ran aside and lowered his head to think.
He was wrong. He shouldn't underestimate Chi Feichi's skills tonight and try to push Chi Feichi away.
However, when it comes to Suzuki Jirokichi's anomalies and the missing Lupine, he does have a clue.
There is also the first strange notice letter. The last word in each column adds up to...
‘Please do me a favor’?!
So is Kaitou Kidd really the maid...
…
Not long after, Suzuki Jirokichi came out of the room and went to the room where the treasury was located. He also carried a bag and proposed that he would open the treasury to check it out, stay in it for a while, and pick up something by the way.
Since this was Suzuki Jirokichi's own treasury, Nakamori Ginzo had no reason to refuse, but after Suzuki Jirokichi went out, he still checked Suzuki Jirokichi's bag.
According to Suzuki Jiroyoshi, the vault only contains some things from his childhood, and there is indeed only a photo album in the bag.
After the inspection, Jirokichi Suzuki said that he had made an appointment with Police Chagi to have dinner, but he almost forgot about it and deliberately threw the car keys to the bodyguard with his left hand and asked the bodyguard to drive.
Conan did not expose it and followed Suzuki Sonoko to the restaurant for dinner. After dinner, he used the sentence "Suzuki Jirokichi picked up coins and threw them to Mouri Kogoro with his right hand, and then threw the car keys with his left hand" to lead Moori Kogoro to suspect.
Suzuki Jiroyoshi was faked by Kidd.
Mouri Kogoro immediately went to Nakamori Ginzo and expressed his suspicions, and Chaki Police arrived just in time to say that he had not made an appointment with Suzuki Jirokichi to have dinner together.
At the same time, a maid hurried over and said that the unconscious Suzuki Jirokichi was tied up in the closet of the room.
Nakamori Ginzo opened the door of the room where the vault was located and took a look. He found that there was indeed a card printed on the door of the vault that said 'I have searched the belly of the iron raccoon'. He immediately called for the mobile team to be mobilized and went out with him to capture Yi Rongcheng.
The Phantom Thief by Jirokichi Suzuki.
The villa was in chaos, and the police quickly ran out, followed by Maori Kogoro, Maori Lan and others.
After everyone left, Kuroba Kaito quietly entered the room where the treasury was located, put on his gloves, and walked to the treasury door.
"You really like to dress up as a man..."
Conan's voice came from the door, startling Kuroba Kaito.
After Conan opened the door, he looked at a maid standing in front of the vault and asked speechlessly, "Are you a transvestite?"
Kuroba Kaito was still holding the maid's face, turned around with a bright and proud smile, and used his own voice, "Because it's more cute this way..."
Conan was even more speechless, feeling that a certain Kaitou Kidd was hopeless. He stared at someone's proud smiling face with his half-moon eyes, and closed the door smoothly after entering.
"How did you see it?" Kuroba Kaito asked again.
Conan watched Kidd take a piece of paper and press it on the vault to write and draw, without stopping him, "When you were helping Uncle Maori pick up change, you must have suddenly thought that you didn't do anything on your fingers, and you were worried about leaving fingerprints, so you specifically
Wipe it clean with a handkerchief."
"Oh?" Kuroba Kaito finished drawing the picture, looked at it, put his ear against the vault door, tried to turn one of the dials on it, stopped again, and added a stroke on the paper, "Only this
Do you know that I am Kaitou Kid?"
"The key is what you said to Uncle Jiroji. Didn't you ask him to ask you for a favor? As long as you react, in the first notice letter from Wen Zou Zou, the last word in each column adds up to 'please help'
Just do me a favor, you can guess it, right? The first notice letter was actually a power of attorney written by Uncle Jirokichi. He wanted to ask you for help, so you came. Then you deliberately asked Uncle Jirokichi to throw the key with his left hand, and then another
The lie that will be exposed soon is to lead everyone to suspect that he is Kidd and lure the police away. The uncle Jiroji who is tied up in the closet should be a random servant who he found and put it on his face.
Uncle Jiroji's disguised face..." Conan watched a maid twisting the dial for a while and writing and drawing on the paper. He was stunned and said, "Okay, it seems to be very troublesome. Do you want my help?"
Kuroba Kaito put his ear against the vault door, turned another dial on the door, and looked sideways at the door behind Conan, "The door behind you has a lot of marks of being stabbed by something."
?”
Conan looked back and found that there were indeed many marks stabbed by sharp objects on the door panel. He nodded, "Well..."
"That must be because..." A certain maid put her ear to the vault door and turned the dial carefully, "If the dial is not turned correctly..."
"Click."
The vault door made a strange sound, the cover of the dial popped open, and an iron arrow quickly flew toward Conan with a sound of breaking through the air, making the two of them turn pale with fright.
Conan quickly fell to the ground and dodged the sharp arrow.
The sharp arrow was nailed into the door panel, but the force was still there, and the tail end was trembling slightly.
"grumble……"
The dial made a mechanical sound, and the opened lid closed again.
Seeing Conan's face turn pale with fear, Kuroba Kaito smiled and said, "It will be like this, so let's leave it to the experts."
Conan stood up and looked fearfully at the sharp arrow nailed into the door panel. He felt that it was too dangerous to be near the door. On the way to the vault, he found something wrong with a tile on the ground. "Hey, do you think this tile looks new?"
Huh? Look, this piece!"
"Huh?" Kuroba Kaito looked sideways, forgetting that his left hand was still holding the dial, and turned it a little with the dial.
"squeak!"
One side of the vault door suddenly popped open, and in the groove was an ax with a silver gleam on its edge. When the two of them looked at it in shock, the head of the ax suddenly fell down.
Kuroba Kaito quickly picked up Conan and pushed him back.
Under the horrified gazes of the two people, the ax struck hard at the spot where Conan was standing before, directly breaking the 'very new' tile that Conan had mentioned.
Kuroba Kaito looked at the heavy ax and sweated. It turned out that the tiles were very new, because they were damaged by the axe. Do they often replace them with new ones? He felt that his back was still chilly. "As expected... Sansui, the mechanic master.
The huge treasury built by Kiemon..."
"grumble……"
There was another mechanical sound from the vault door, a dial lid opened downwards, and a Japanese doll on the lid held up a fan with both hands.
When the two of them looked at each other, the fan opened with a swish, revealing the word "success or failure" on the fan.
Kuroba Kaito was speechless, "Other than this, it's super unnecessary..."
Conan also had a black hair. After being put down by Kuroba Kaito, he suddenly asked, "Why don't you ask someone for help?"
"Please, who knows how to open the vault better than the Phantom Thief?" Kuroba Kaito stepped forward, leaned on the vault door, slowly turned the dial, listened to the mechanical movement, activated the mechanism, and put away the big knife
ax.
Conan thought for a while and decided not to get too close. A smile appeared on his lips, "What about asking Qi Qi for help?"
Kuroba Kaito was stunned, and turned the dial with his half-moon eyes, "How can that guy know how to pick locks better than the Phantom Thief?"
"That means you can find July now?" Conan asked.
"No, that guy is so elusive. How can I find him now?" Kuroba Kaito put his ear to the vault door to listen for the sound. He changed the dial with his left hand and turned it slightly, "I just thought it would be okay to entrust him here."
It's useless, no need to waste your efforts..."
"But I can find him now," Conan said with a meaningful smile on his face, staring at a certain maid, "I think he is still in the restaurant, no matter what happens, that guy always likes to
After the meal..."
Kuroba Kaito twitched his fingers slightly and almost turned the dial by mistake. He calmed down and pretended to be surprised, "Huh? Have you ever had dinner with Qi Qi?"
Conan's half-moon eyes said, "I think so..."
I originally thought it would be easier to deceive Kidd, but I didn’t expect that the first set of ‘deceptions’ failed.
"It's really enviable. He is the number one bounty hunter in Japan. He is very capable of controlling the Phantom Thieves."
Kuroba Kaito sighed solemnly on his face, laughing wildly in his heart.
He couldn't sell his cruel, ruthless, cold-faced and mean brother, but it seemed that a certain famous detective was almost convinced of his suspicions.
Doesn't it prevent him from gloating about his misfortune? Who made his brother like to hang around famous detectives and show off his abilities?
Ha ha ha ha.
"Is it really restrained?" Conan saw the vault door creaking open and said nothing more. He watched Lupine running out wagging his tail and smiled, "Sure enough, it is locked inside. Uncle Jiroji has been here recently.
When eating in the room, the servants always miss two plates when they go to collect them. After the meal, they have to use crutches to check the treasury, just to leave two plates, one for water and one for food. They use it through the gap in the treasury door.
Pass the crutch to it."
"Yeah," Kuroba Kaito squatted down and saw Lupine coming over to lick him. He turned his head to avoid it, untied Lupine's scarf, looked at it, and said with a smile, "After that uncle found out that Lupine was locked up in the vault.
, he came to ask me for help. He said that the blueprint for opening the vault is in this place, and it was indeed correct..."
Conan smiled and touched Lupine's head, raised his head and said to Kuroba Kaito, "You have completed the commission, can you leave now?"
Kuroba Kaito stood up, changed his clothes, and revealed Kaitou Kid's all-white outfit. He looked down at Conan squatting with Lupine and said speechlessly, "Hey, hey, are you chasing people away so quickly?"
Conan resisted Lupine's head rubbing, stood up, took out his mobile phone and opened the music playback page, held it up for Kuroba Kaito to see, and said with a leisurely smile, "If you don't mind the noise I made,
If it's too big and will cause you to be surrounded in the room, you can stay as long as you want!"
Kuroba Kaito saw the title of "The Magician of the End of the Century" displayed on the music playback page on his mobile phone. After being stunned for a moment, he raised a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth, "That's it... then you can play slowly, and I will
I'm leaving."
I see.
It turns out that the detective only suspected that Brother Fei Chi was July and had a close friendship with him. However, there was no evidence and he could not even force Brother Fei Chi to admit it through reasoning, so he wanted to deceive him and see his reaction to confirm his reasoning.
.
It turns out that the detective still refused to give up and wanted to use this song to force Brother Fei Chi to run out on his own.
Then he can only watch the fun.
After all...if he ran to remind Brother Fei Chi, he might fall into this kid's trap again, so Brother Fei Chi should be able to understand him, right?
