"Okay, don't worry about these little things." The president's daughter coquettishly reached out and hugged him. She pressed against this mature and reliable man and asked expectantly, "Have you told my dad about our affairs? What is he?"
manner?"
"Of course." Minister Oba mentioned this with a happy expression, "Before I spoke, I thought he would object, but to my surprise he actually agreed and said that he was very happy to entrust his daughter to my kind of advancement.
young people."
"Really?" The stone in President Qianjin's heart finally fell to the ground and she laughed, "Then we can be together forever."
The two hugged each other happily.
…
In the elevator.
At the top of the VIP elevator, there was an uninvited guest quietly.
Kuroba Kaito was half-crouching in the dark elevator shaft. He held on to the cable next to him and quietly looked through the vent into the interior of the elevator.
Originally, he just took advantage of the time to come over and step on the spot casually, but as he stepped on it, he realized that something seemed wrong.
——Not to mention anything else, as soon as he reached the top of the building a few minutes ago, he keenly noticed that there was someone upstairs.
Kuroba Kaito used his carefully honed Kaito thief skills to sneak closer, and was shocked to find that it was a guy holding a sniper rifle and observing the Tokyo Tower from a distance.
"What a terrible lawless gangster. In order to deal with me, he even used a sniper rifle. Who is the person who wrote the warning letter to me this time?"
Kuroba Kaito was secretly alert. As a phantom thief who likes to fly in the night sky with hang gliders, sniper rifles are undoubtedly his greatest enemy. He still remembers the last time he was in Osaka, when he was almost shot to death by a sniper.
Fortunately, the foggy dog extended its wings in time, and beat it away from the trajectory.
"Speaking of which, Brother Monster will probably be seen by the sniper on the roof."
Kidd took out his cell phone and sent an email to Kiriten Dog worriedly, reminding him to be careful of cunning humans: "It shouldn't be a big problem. My target tonight is Tokyo Tower, and instead of acting with me, that monster
Obviously he prefers to wait until I succeed and then come forward gracefully to add to the meal. All he needs to do is show up with his back to the building."
Anyway, having such a guy squatting on the roof of the building made Kuroba Kaito feel very uneasy.
"That guy was wearing a knitted hat and a mask, which hid most of his features. I couldn't see his face clearly at all. He was so tightly covered, could he be a wanted criminal on the run?...Tsk, I have to find a way to test him, and finally
So that the police can arrest him. Compared to a harmless thief like me, the kind of person who runs around with a gun is the real gangster."
After thinking for a moment, Kuroba Kaito quickly came up with an idea.
——The top floor of this building is the rooftop, and the next floor is the high-end restaurant where the banquet is being held.
"I can disguise myself as someone who can speak well and ask the hotel staff to call the police on the pretense of being stolen or robbed." Kuroba Kaito nodded secretly, "That person must be of sufficient weight to be able to convince people with just one sentence.
The police are called, otherwise if the hotel employees don't believe in the evil and go to the roof to check, they may be shot and killed by that guy."
Thinking like this, Kuroba Kaito turned his attention to the manager of this hotel.
...However, today was the banquet, and the manager was so busy that he didn't even have time to go to the bathroom. Kuroba Kaito secretly observed for a long time, but he didn't have the opportunity to stand alone, so he had to retreat regretfully.
Fortunately, a mature phantom thief would never be troubled by such a trivial matter. Kuroba Kaito turned his eyes and turned his attention to President Tatsumi, who occupied most of the venue.
This time, the plan seemed to be going smoothly - almost as soon as he arrived, he squatted down when the president was alone.
"You're so lucky." Kidd straightened his gloves, took out the anesthetic, and prepared to pick a suitable moment to knock out the president in this VIP elevator that few people used, and become the president himself.
However, just before he was about to lift the roof and jump out, suddenly, the elevator door slid open silently.
President Tatsumi, who was looking at his watch in the elevator, was startled and looked up at the door.
Kidd was also stunned for a moment, instinctively holding his breath and stopping his movements, looking for the same angle and looking over.
The next moment, a pistol with a silencer appeared in their field of vision. Without hesitation or hesitation, the people standing outside the elevator seemed to have expected this and pulled the trigger hard the moment it appeared.
"Bang——!"
At the beginning of the reception, paper salutes were fired in the banquet hall. The cheers of the people and the sound of exploding fireworks covered up the sound of the gunshot and the sound of President Chenji falling to the ground.
After the murderer fired the shot, he took his hand back leisurely.
Without human control, the elevator door closed again, leaving the lifeless body inside.
Kidd: "..."
Kidd: "…………"
President——!!
"What's going on? What's going on?"
The Phantom Thief, who usually only steals things and rarely encounters murder cases, couldn't help but be confused: "Why did he die suddenly... suddenly?"
... Could it be that those people discovered his plan and wanted to kill him, but accidentally killed the president before he could replace him?
"No, no, it shouldn't be." Kidd wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "I just came here not long ago, and I don't have time to change. Maybe... this is just an ordinary murder case?"
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is indeed the case.
Kuroba Kaito was lying in the dark and cold elevator room, looking at the increasingly cold body below through the air hole, and slowly exhaled: "Forget about the sniper rifle on the roof, why is it in the hands of any passerby in the building now?
Gun? Rice flower is really dangerous, we Jiangkoda are better..."
"Speaking of which, what should we do now?"
A phantom thief whose plan was interrupted looked at the unfortunate corpse on the ground and fell into deep thought for a moment.
…
A few minutes later.
In the restaurant.
Hui Yuan Ai was eating when suddenly the tips of his ears twitched and he raised his head.
Like an alert rabbit, she listened carefully for a long time, and then hesitantly asked Jiang Xia in a low voice: "Is there anyone running around in the corridor...?"
Jiang Xia picked up a piece of dessert and nodded: "I seemed to hear the voice of the Mu Mu Police Department."
Haibara Ai:"……?"
Her tense heart felt relieved again - as long as no one was being chased by Gin in the corridor, then things would be fine.
At the same time, another table.
A certain high school student who was telling Mao Lilan a Sherlock Holmes story also vaguely noticed something. Kudo Shinichi stopped talking and took a look outside the door from a distance.
Mao Lilan is good at capturing screams, but she is not so sensitive to the sound of the police. Compared with the chaotic noise outside, she is more curious about another thing: "You said before that you had something important to tell me - what was it?
