"Artwork..." Looking at the fake 1-yen coins lying on the ground, and then looking at the template of a 20-dollar bill on the table, Conan vaguely guessed what was going on.
This artist who died alone started making counterfeit banknotes for some reason - maybe it was a hobby, or maybe he was entrusted by others.
But later he regretted it and was afraid of the gangsters who were eyeing the counterfeit banknote templates, so he hid in the villa with his artworks.
After that, he left a secret message in the living room, trying to tell the owner of the villa that he was in the attic. Unfortunately, the owner failed to connect to his artistic circuit and could not solve his mystery.
After Shiraishi saw the letter, he almost guessed the conditions required to complete the task.
Sure enough, very quickly, the wandering spirit came up to him and shouted excitedly: "I must let that bastard Okuda fall into the French Open, so that I can dare to go out!"
"..." So you turned into an earthbound spirit because you were so cowardly...
Shiraishi looked away from it speechlessly. Suddenly, he heard someone coming to the second floor. The person walked quickly and rushed up the stairs to the attic in the blink of an eye.
Shiraishi immediately slipped to the window, stood up and grabbed the window sill, looked down, and then found that about one meter below, there was a narrow edge that protruded about 2cm, which could barely be used as a very short-term foothold.
…
It was really difficult to cover up the loud sound when the stairs landed just now.
Okuda Noriaki originally came here to find the counterfeit banknote template and knew that there was a trap in this villa.
After hearing the strange movement, he was so concerned that he didn't care about the person who might be hiding in the dark for a moment, and ventured in.
Conan's ear is not as good as Shiraishi at this moment.
He looked at the counterfeit banknote template intently, and it wasn't until Nobuaki Okuda went upstairs that Conan suddenly became alert.
Seeing the gun in Okuda Noriaki's hand, he was shocked and squatted down to turn on the switch of the foot-strengthening shoes.
However, the gangster's intuition was so accurate that he shot Conan at the foot without even thinking.
The bullet made a deep hole in the floor. Okuda Noriaki didn't know why he was so afraid of a child, but he still shouted: "Don't move!"
Conan's face looked ugly, but he could only stop his movements.
He observed the middle-aged man in front of him, and found that after his eyes turned around the room, he stopped very clearly on the counterfeit banknote template, and then his eyes lit up.
Conan was pointed at a gun and did not dare to look back.
But he remembered how the template was placed - at this moment, from Okuda Noriaki's point of view, it should be just an ordinary square wooden box.
But he is so happy now. It can be inferred that he recognizes this thing.
Is this the Tomoaki Okuda who wrote in the letter on the table?
Did the black cat come specifically to catch him today?
When he saw the black cat hanging on the lamp just now, Conan vaguely felt that the black cat might have found this hidden attic with the help of Shiraishi.
Otherwise, even if that cat is smarter than ordinary cats, how could it reason faster than myself and target the chandelier in an instant?
It's unreasonable no matter how you think about it.
The human black cat must have given it the instruction to grab the lamp.
When you think about it this way, the situation becomes obvious.
——Okuda Noriaki is so wary of a child like him. If he finds that the black cat is also in the villa, he will definitely not dare to show his face.
In other words... Conan's forehead jumped twice. He said he was looking for him to solve the mystery, but in fact he was more of a bait to lure the snake out of its hole.
Having been rescued by Shiraishi and Black Cat several times before, and being very willing to catch criminals, Conan was not too dissatisfied with this.
But now that the "treasure hunt" has been found, the bad guys have also been lured out... Where are you, Black Cat!?
He silently raised the black cat's level of unreliability and danger.
As for Shiraishi...he didn't show up today. Black Cat must have acted secretly without telling him. He himself didn't know about his companions kidnapping innocent elementary school students, so he can continue to be a perfect good guy.
While he was adjusting, a figure suddenly flashed out of the narrow window. Before that, there was no climbing movement outside the house. The figure seemed to appear out of thin air.
Okuda Noriaki quickly noticed the abnormality. He was frightened, then turned around with murderous intent, raised his gun and shot.
"Bang!" There was a gunshot, and a cluster of blood spattered from his hand holding the gun.
"Ah——!!!" Okuda Noriaki screamed in pain, his whole body trembled in pain, and the gun fell to the ground.
Conan was startled. He quickly squatted down and turned on the switch of his sneakers. At the same time, he quickly looked at the window and saw the figure falling and disappearing at a speed that was almost blurry as it appeared. It seemed that he had jumped off the building and escaped.
Even so, the mask with a strong presence still remained in Conan's visual afterimage. Black Cat actually has a gun!? Is it legally held? If it is illegal...
He didn't look at the window for more than a second. In any case, the current enemy was Okuda Noriaki in front of him. Conan quickly came back to his senses, dragging a flashing sneaker and looking around for something to kick.
Okuda Noriaki's hand bled a lot, but in this world, you will never die if you get hit on the hand.
His eyes were darkened by the severe pain for a while, and he gradually came back to his senses, quickly lowered his head and looked for his weapon.
The gun didn't fall too far and was still at his feet, but before his trembling hands could grab the gun again, a ball of white hair flew past the ground, pushing his pistol and running towards the stairs.
"?!" Noriaki Okuda was furious, "Stop!"
…
Kidd fell hard that time.
He pushed aside the scratched paraglider, rubbed his sore elbows and lower back, and climbed up from the pile of debris with a livid face. He could no longer find the traffickers and the abducted children. He only saw a car.
The car quickly fled the scene.
Gritting his teeth, he fired a transmitter with his magic gun that could shoot anything. After sticking it to the gangster's car, Kidd listened to the gradually noisy environment around him and quickly changed into an inconspicuous outfit.
.
By this time, reporters had already noticed the unusual movement and chased him nearby. Even the police who were not on the boat surrounded him.
Kidd's arrogant appearance was originally intended to save the child and then leave in style, allowing the adults watching to hand over the traffickers to the police.
Unexpectedly, the plan failed, the trafficker was not caught, and he was the one who was blocked.
Putting on his baseball cap and passing by several policemen holding walkie-talkies, Kidd walked quickly back to Terai in a slightly embarrassed manner: "Trace the transmitter I just used."
"Okay." Terai didn't have the nerve to ask any more questions.
Although he was too far away to see the details of their fight, he saw with his own eyes how the young master flew over in a majestic manner and how he slipped back with a wilted head - it was obvious that the trafficker did not stop him.
