After entering the bathroom, Conan approached the only window: "And there are iron bars blocking it, so it's impossible for the outside to come in."
"Well, it's very difficult to squeeze a gun through this gap."
Karasawa looked at the gap and said, "On the contrary, the "bloody wine glass" and "letter" stolen by the Phantom Girl can be passed through the gap."
"Eh!? Weren't these three items stolen by Kidd?" Conan asked with a surprised look on his face after hearing Karasawa's words.
"Well, this is something stolen by the phantom girl known as the Phantom Thief Lady 20 years ago."
Seeing Conan's surprised look, Karasawa explained: "This information was also told to me by Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi."
"Who is the Phantom Girl? Can you tell me in detail?" Conan originally planned to ask directly, but when he saw someone entering the bathroom, he motioned for Karasawa to enter the cubicle to continue the conversation.
"She is known as the Thief with Twenty Faces." Tang Ze explained in a low voice: "Her crime methods are a bit weird, and she specializes in targeting large companies that make money illegally and violently, or with some wealthy families who are not merciless in spending money.
Therefore, she was very popular at that time, and many people imagined that she was a beauty."
"But Kidd went out of his way to return the treasure of the Phantom Thief Lady. Isn't it a bit strange?" Conan asked puzzledly.
"Maybe it's because the two of them know each other or have a close relationship." Tang Ze thought of the Kuroba family and smiled.
"By the way, the situation about the antique guns..."
Conan took out his cell phone, looked at the introduction on the Internet and said: "Ryoma's pistol was stolen in the end...
32-caliber five-shot revolver, about 17 centimeters long...
17 centimeters is about this long..."
But before Conan could make any gestures, a familiar male voice suddenly came from the next cubicle: "It's probably this long!"
Karasawa and Conan looked up when they heard the sound, and found a man wearing white gloves holding a pistol in his right hand above the compartment.
"On June 24, the third year of Yingqing, Ryoma mentioned this gun in a letter he wrote to his sister Otome."
Kaitou Kid's voice came from the cubicle: "It's 6 inches long and can hold 5 rounds of bullets.
Although it is shorter than a dagger, if you take aim, you can easily shoot someone to death from a distance of fifty steps."
"Kidd!"
Conan reacted and immediately opened the door, but Tang Ze on the side said calmly: "Don't waste time, this kid must have closed the door from the outside if he dared to show his face.
Look at it, it has a brake, so it’s normal that you can’t open the door.”
"Well, there's no other way. I have to complete my plan this time."
Kaitou Kidd smiled and said: "And since I want to talk to you and I can't let you hinder my plan, I can only do this."
"How did you bring the gun in here!" After hearing what the other party said, Conan no longer bothered about going out, and immediately asked another question of concern.
"Yes, it can be easily solved by removing the lead weight from the handle of the gun."
Kaitou Kidd smiled and said: "And it has also become a lot lighter. But after all, there are a lot of them. It will actually take a lot of effort to bring them."
‘Lead weights? A lot of them?’
After hearing each other's words, Tang Ze and Conan looked at each other, and both saw the confusion in the other's eyes.
"Well, anyway, this time I just want to return the stolen items, and I'm not interested in the gun belt or anything like that."
Kaitou Kidd smiled and said: "I'm sorry, you two have good brains. Don't use your brains to stop me from doing good things this time. Bye~"
"Damn it, wait for me!"
When he heard that the other party was about to run away, Conan was so anxious that he jumped on the toilet and used his strength to climb up the edge of the separation wall.
But when he looked at the restroom next door, he found that the building was already empty.
"Come down." Karasawa called Conan to come down while removing the brake on the bathroom door.
"Hey, why didn't you break down the door and catch him?" Conan let go and jumped down from above. He looked at Tang Ze angrily and said, "If you had just broken down the door at that time, it would have been possible to block him, right?"
"You can, but it's not necessary."
Tang Ze smiled and said: "As I said, I came here to return the things, and I also promised that I have no interest in the gun belt.
If that's the case, then what reason do I have to stop him."
"Don't you want to catch him?" Conan opened the door angrily.
"It's not easy to catch a slippery guy." Tang Ze's expression changed, and he stopped Conan from moving forward.
Before Conan could ask what was going on, Tarumi Inohiko's worried words came from the dressing table outside the bathroom door: "What if Kidd is caught by the criminal department..."
"Don't worry, with Kaitou Kid's elusive skills, as long as we can successfully break through this situation, the two of us can make a fortune." Hanamura Masanosuke said with a sly smile.
"But, but...he is here to return those things this time..." Taru said, seeing that Inohiko was still a little worried.
"There is no need for these unnecessary worries." Masanosuke Hanamura raised his injured thumb and said in relief: "I have already thought of a countermeasure."
The two of them left as they spoke, and looking at the departing figures, Tang Ze and the others walked out of the bathroom stall.
"You directly feel that there is something wrong, and it may have been confirmed." Conan looked at the two people walking away, with a serious expression on his face.
"Yes, from what the two people said just now, it's obvious that they want to use the impression that Kaito Kidd came here to steal treasure to do something secretly."
Tangze smiled and spread his hands and said: "It seems there is no room for us to appear this time, that guy stole our job.
Let’s just watch him perform patiently.”
"That guy..." Conan looked unhappy: "There is no way I can make him so happy!"
"You, you are really a child."
Tangze shook his head helplessly and said: "Anyway, let's go back first. It seems that the time on the notice letter is almost here."
Conan didn't say anything more after hearing this, and followed Tang Ze towards the exhibition hall.
Because there were many people, Ayako and the others did not enter the exhibition hall, but waited in the corridor of the exhibition hall.
"Ah, brother-in-law, have you finished your work?" Yuanzi quickly waved after seeing the two of them: "The time is almost up, shall we go in too?"
"I advise you not to go in." Tang Ze said with a smile, "If you don't want to get drenched in water."
"Eh?" Ayako said in surprise when she heard this: "Xianyi, what do you mean?"
"Because Kaitou Kidd, it seems that he really wants to undergo a baptism in this exhibition hall." Conan said cutely.
"Conan, what do you mean by this..."
Xiaolan wanted to ask again, but the next moment there was a sudden uproar among the dense crowd in the exhibition hall.
Everyone looked around and saw a white top hat flying towards the center of the exhibition hall.
When the hat fell, Kaitou Kidd's figure quietly appeared and stood on the display case of the gun belt.
"Ah! Kidd is so handsome!!"
Seeing Kaitou Kid's sacrifice, Sonoko immediately turned into a nympho girl and screamed in joy.
"Hurry up and arrest him! That guy can pass the metal detector and prove that he is not armed!"
Nakamori Ginzo yelled and ordered to his subordinates, while forcing the crowd to approach Kaitou Kid: "Damn Kid!!"
"What do you want to clean, you bastard?"
On the other side, Suzuki Jirokichi was also pushing forward with all his strength. When he saw Kaitou Kid's pretentious posture, he roared angrily: "That's why I'm going to capture you and clean you from beginning to end!!"
"That's right, it's just cleaning."
Kaitou Kid on the stage heard Suzuki Jirokichi's words and smiled and responded: "And if you want to clean it, you need water first!"
The next moment Kidd crossed his hands, a matchbox and matchstick appeared in his hand. He lit the match with a smile and said, "Then I will bring rain to everyone present in this space!"
"What kind of rain!" Suzuki Jirokichi asked in confusion.
"What on earth is this guy planning to do?"
Just as Nakamori Ginzo expressed his doubts, the next moment he saw Kaitou Kid blowing on the match.
The faint flame that was originally tiny and would almost go out the next moment turned into a long dragon-like flame under the breath of Kaito Kidd.
This flame caused everyone to scream, and at the same time, the other end of the flame also touched the ceiling of the exhibition hall.
The next moment, the automatic fire sprinkler sensed the flames and activated itself, causing everyone to scream in surprise as countless water poured out.
"Then, I'll take my leave."
In the dense rain, Kaito Kidd bowed slightly to the crowd and prepared to say goodbye.
"etc!!"
Nakamori Ginzo heard this and shouted: "Didn't you guys say you want to return the things!!"
"This cleansing rain will make everything clear." Kaitou Kidd smiled faintly: "Just like heavy rain will wash away muddy water."
Following Kaitou Kid's words, the water from the automatic sprinkler became louder and louder.
"Damn, this guy turned up the water pressure on the fire sprinklers!"
The crowd had already started to flee due to the water, but now the rain was getting heavier, and everyone's footsteps were speeding up. After a while, only Nakamori Ginsan and others were left in the entire exhibition hall.
"Damn it, the water vapor is too strong, I can't see clearly where the others are!!" Ginzo Nakamori cursed, but he was unable to change anything.
Gradually, the water weakened and gradually dissipated, but when they opened their eyes again, Kaito Kidd, who was standing on the display cabinet, had long since disappeared.
"It's gone. Damn Kidd. Are you planning to take advantage of the chaos to hide in the crowd and escape?"
Nakamori Ginzo angrily picked up the intercom and said, "Hey! Did anyone go out of the metal detection door just now!?"
"Well, there are two or three people..."
"It's them!"
Without waiting for his subordinates to say anything else, Nakamori Ginzo immediately shouted: "Catch those soaked guys immediately! Those guys are all Kid!"
If that guy had just changed his clothes in the rain, he would have been soaked all over!!"
"I advise you not to embarrass your subordinates."
At this moment, Tang Ze entered the exhibition hall from the corridor: "Don't forget, it's raining outside, and the guests who enter are probably soaked to the skin."
"Then follow the footprints and follow the metal detection door..."
"When people from outside come in, do you still expect the ground to be dry?" Karasawa interrupted Nakamori Ginzo again.
"Damn it!!" Nakamori Ginzo said angrily: "Damn Kidd!"
"I see, no wonder that guy Kidd had to wait until it rained." Suzuki Jirokichi suddenly said.
"What about the three treasures he wants to return in the notice letter!?" Nakamori Ginzo looked around and asked.
"It's here." Taru saw Inohiko standing in front of the counter and said, "It's on the display case of the gun belt."
Masanosuke Hanamura even picked it up and was inspected. The next moment he reacted and said: "Oops, this wine glass is stained with blood on my injured hand.
Well, but these three items are all fakes, so it’s not a big problem.”
"What we have to worry about now is the gun belt!"
Taru saw Inohiko picking up the cover on the display cabinet as he spoke, but the next moment he saw a corner of the counter lifted up, he couldn't help but yelled: "The anti-theft device has been destroyed!
So, does that mean that the gun belt inside is a fake that has been stolen by Kidd!?"
"Damn it!" Taru looked very angry when he saw Inohiko putting down the cover angrily.
"Now it seems that we have been completely fooled by Kaitou Kidd." Masanosuke Hanamura also joined the other side and agreed.
But in a direction that no one else could see, the two old guys looked at each other with a sly smile, obviously very satisfied with the current situation.
"Haha, we must have been tricked by you two."
At this moment, Tangze walked in with Yuanzi and others, looked at the two of them and sneered.
"You, what do you mean by that!?" After hearing Karasawa's words, Taru asked Inohiko in a panic.
"What's the meaning?"
Karasawa came to the display cabinet and picked up the introduction board under the display cabinet, then took out the toilet paper and wiped it casually. The writing on it was erased, revealing a new content: "This is the same explanation board written in watercolor paint. It is the Phantom Thief Baseball."
De posted it on it early.
And after you erase it, the original content will be revealed."
"Did that guy Kidd arrange it?" Nakamori Ginzo heard this and quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's written on it?"
Karasawa gave him the brand, and after Nakamori Ginzo took it, he couldn't help but read the content on it: "This gun belt is an out-and-out fake!?
Because, because this is a mass product manufactured in large quantities with the expectation that it will be stolen!?”
Thinking of this, Nakamori Ginzo's tone couldn't help but rise: "The most important thing is to make the theft incident a topical news, and then pass these mass-produced imitations through the hands of a third party and sell them privately to wealthy Ryoma fans!
?”
"That's right, as long as you tell them that these are antiques that were stolen not long ago, you can make them willing to pay."
Tangze smiled and said: "The advantage of this method is that even if the buyer later discovers that these items are fakes, there is no way to report the case to the criminal department.
After all, I also have doubts about purchasing stolen goods privately, so I can only swallow the bitter pill with anger."
