From Minase Yomeng's description, Qin Zhibo learned that the place where the "Black Crow in the Night" was stored was in a place with strong light.
This reminded Qin Zhibo of the theft conditions given by the Nine Angels Organization and the storage conditions of the Starry Sky Casino, both of which pointed to "light".
This light is not an ordinary weak light source, let alone a cold light source.
It seems that ensuring that the light source can shine on the stone should be the most important factor in stealing this stone.
Qin Zhibo asked Minase Yomeng some security details.
"There are not many security guards there, but there are people in important positions. There are also strips of infrared rays in the elevator shafts and ventilation ducts..."
Qin Zhibo knew that she was talking about an infrared early warning device.
"Then if you want to enter the vault from the outside, you can only break in openly and openly..."
In order to ensure that the light shining on the gem is sufficient, it is not advisable to cut off the power supply and turn off the infrared warning.
But Kuroba Kaito doesn't know this news.
According to his character, it is a common trick to use disguise to enter the scene, cut off the power supply, and escape from the scene through the ventilation duct.
What if Kuroba Kaito cuts off the power this time...
…
A few hours later, the grandfather and grandson came out of McCarran Airport with their luggage and met Chikage Kuroba who came to pick them up.
"Kaito!"
Kuroba Qiankage opened her arms and held her son's head into her chest. After ravaging him, he looked at Kuroba Kaito up and down.
"Have you eaten well recently? Let me see if you have grown taller!"
"Hey! It seems a little taller than when I just left home?"
Facing the pampering of his mother whom he had not seen for two months, Kuroba Kaito seemed a little uncomfortable, his face was slightly red, and he glanced at the passers-by around him with some embarrassment.
"Mom, please stop being like this~ Passers-by are giving strange looks..."
Kuroba Qiankage then let go of his hand, but still smiled: "What's the point? The mother and son who haven't seen each other for a long time have finally reunited overseas, so of course they have to have a good time..."
After saying that, Kuroba Chikage looked at Terai Kinosuke who was standing behind with a pleased look, and bowed slightly.
"Mr. Terai, you have worked hard during this time."
"It's okay, madam, this is what I should do."
Later, Terai Kinosuke put his luggage into the car driven by Kuroba Chikage.
"Okay, let me be the tour guide and take you to experience the charm of the casino!"
Kuroba Chikage happily sat in the driver's seat, while Kuroba Kaito next to him opened the passenger door and was about to get in when his heart suddenly trembled.
He suddenly turned his head and looked back, staring at the various passers-by at the airport exit.
It seems like I'm being watched by someone...
Kuroba Kaito frowned, feeling this way in his heart, but he didn't find any suspicious person within his field of vision.
At this time, Kuroba Qianying, who was already sitting in the car, tilted her head and asked.
"What's wrong? Kaito?"
"……nothing……"
Maybe it's an illusion?
Kuroba Kaito comforted himself and got into the car.
…
This time Kuroba Kaito and Terai Kinosuke came to Las Vegas under the banner of tourism, and took the initiative to contact Kuroba Chikage.
Because Kuroba Kaito wants to ask the doubts in his heart face to face, but what if the answer to the question is right next to him?
Not long after sitting in the car, Kuroba Kaito, who was leaning against the car window with one hand, suddenly asked casually.
"Mom, have you ever heard of the Phantom Thief Crow?"
Kuroba Qiankage controlled the steering wheel with both hands, staring at the straight road in the desert in front of him, and introduced: "I've heard of it~ He is very popular in Las Vegas. It's like Yassen who has been resurrected in modern times.
·Luo Ping..."
"Even my heart was almost stolen by him for a moment~"
Kuroba Qiankage's face turned red, very red.
As a son, Kuroba Kaito squinted at his mother's reaction, it didn't look like she was acting.
Could it be that Kaitou Crow is really not my mother, but someone else?
Seeing this, Kuroba Kaito got straight to the point and revealed the true purpose of his trip.
"Actually, the reason I came to Las Vegas this time was to meet this strange thief Crow."
"Every time this person commits a crime, he leaves behind black feathers, and his clothes look like Kaitou Kidd. Maybe he has something to do with dad..."
"Oh?" Kuroba Qiankage stopped joking, "Then your plan is..."
Kuroba Kaito looked at the scenery outside the front window of the car and said with a chuckle: "I want to challenge the Phantom Thief Crow and steal his next target - the Black Crow in the middle of the night."
This time, Kuroba Kaito's goal is more determined than ever, and he is about to face a well-matched opponent for the first time in a long time.
Before coming, he had carefully watched every video of Phantom Thief Crow's crime, confirming that this person's theft ability was not inferior to his own.
The key is that this person's method is very similar to mine, and even the hang gliding equipment doesn't look like an imitation, which is really strange.
Kuroba Kaito had a hunch that this man must have a close relationship with his father.
But he never imagined that the so-called "Phantom Thief Crow" was sitting next to him and quietly observing his son's reaction.
Kuroba Qiankage glanced at her son's eyes and expression while driving the car.
pokerface…
Before leaving home, Kuroba Kaito, as the son of a magician, enjoyed the pleasure of magic performances very much, so he always looked frivolous and relaxed.
But now, she can actually faintly see Toiichi's shadow from Kuroba Kaito.
It seems that Kaito has made great progress in his career as a thief in the past two months...
But I won’t let you pass the test so easily~
…
Arriving at the Star Hotel, Kuroba Chikage gave her son and Terai Kinosuke a separate room.
Kuroba Kaito didn't understand it at first, but when they were eating in the restaurant, Kuroba Chikage told Kuroba Kaito that he was a casino security consultant.
"The owner of Star Casino learned that I was the wife of a genius magician, so he wanted me to serve as a security consultant."
"Just in time, I also want to chase stars at close range~"
"So now my status is special and I can't live with you Kaito~"
Kuroba Chikage's explanation is very clever, and it can be explained clearly even if he has been staying in Las Vegas for the past two months.
But Kuroba Kaito turned his eyes and suddenly thought of a plan.
"Mom, can I use your identity to sneak into the vault?"
"Me?" Kuroba Qianying was startled and pointed at her nose, "You want to disguise yourself as me?"
Kuroba Kaito smiled mischievously, "Of course. Anyway, I have to disguise myself as a person and sneak in alone, so it must be the most reliable person to disguise myself as my mother~"
"But I still want to chase stars..."
"Is it more important to chase stars or be a son? I am your biological son!"
"But chasing stars..."
"Blood is thicker than water!"
"Chasing stars..."
"The love between mother and son is deep!"
"Chase……"
"My son!"
"..."
Kuroba Kaito directly used his trump card - moral kidnapping, leaving Kuroba Chikage speechless for a while.
In the end, Kuroba Chikage had no choice but to compromise.
"Okay, I'll lend you my identity..."
"OK! Thank you, mom!"
After receiving the permission to use his identity, Kuroba Kaito smiled proudly and forgot about pokerface.
Humph! Now let’s see what you, the Phantom Thief Crow, can do to fight with me!
…
"What? That kid wants to disguise himself as you and enter the casino vault?"
On the other side of the phone, Kuroba Qiankage said in an apologetic tone: "I can't defeat that kid, and if I refuse, my identity may be questioned..."
Qin Zhibo was a little helpless. It turned out that Kuroba Qianying was acting as an inside agent and cooperated with him to break into the casino vault.
But now that Kuroba Chikage's identity has been taken away by Kuroba Kaito, there is no internal cooperation, and all the burden has to be placed on him alone.
"I know, I'll think of something else."
Another transvestite...
Qin Zhibo hung up the phone and took out the casino architectural structure diagram given by Kuroba Qianying from the drawer.
If you want to enter the casino, you can do like Kuroba Kaito and find someone with an identity authentication card, kidnap him on the day of the operation, and disguise yourself as him.
However, the casino owner seems to have experience in this area. There are not many people on site to protect the gems this time. Other staff are not allowed to enter the vault, and the information on the identity authentication card will be updated to the latest on that day.
And everyone's identity is kept secret from each other. Even Kuroba Qiankage doesn't know who else will appear in the vault at that time.
So the only way now is to sneak into the casino vault without anyone noticing.
Qin Zhibo's fingers drew the route into the underground vault on the map. In addition to the elevator shafts and ventilation ducts equipped with infrared devices, the most convenient route for him to enter was to enter from the corridor like a normal person.
The surveillance cameras in the corridor can be avoided with the [Lord of the Rings], but the problem is that there is no key card, how to enter the backstage of the casino and the elevator that leads directly to the vault.
Qin Zhibo was sitting on a chair thinking, and suddenly thought of a way.
Particleized!
Particleization allows the body to pass through doors.
But the problem is that I'm not proficient in particleization yet. It's OK to go through an ordinary wooden door, but it's impossible to go through a steel door like an elevator door.
"..."
Qin Zhibo thought about it for a while, and it seemed that he had to practice temporarily.
This skill will be used sooner or later, so why not practice it now?
As for the training method, naturally it is to pass through the door. As long as you continue to practice through the door, you can improve your proficiency and then your level.
There are less than two days left before the preview of Phantom Thief Crow, so he must step up his training.
"good!"
"Start training!"
Qin Zhibo came to the toilet door and first tried to pass through the wooden door in front of him with his own body.
As the thoughts turned, the tall body gradually became transparent and blurred. For a moment, it became a blur of flesh and blood, and finally became translucent.
In this state, he easily passed through the 4cm thick wooden door in front of him.
I checked the proficiency level again and added 60 points.
Now for Qin Zhibo, it is not too difficult to pass through ordinary wooden doors, and the additional proficiency is much less than when he first tried.
He wore the Lord of the Rings again, particleized it in front of the mirror, and carefully observed the invisibility during the particleization process.
The good news is that you can remain invisible before and after the particle state, as long as you are wearing the Ring.
The bad news is that during the process of particleization, for a moment the body will lose the invisibility protection of the body that has not yet been particleized due to the particleization of the [Lord of the Rings].
In other words, the invisibility ability of the Lord of the Rings will only act on one target. The particleized Lord of the Rings will only make the particleized body enter the invisible state.
Parts of the body that have not yet been particleized will lose their invisibility effect during that period.
But Qin Zhibo is not yet able to maintain a state of particleization like the Kunyang people. It would be great if he could master the skill of passing through iron gates in a limited time.
"Looks like we need to find a way..."
Qin Zhibo thought hard in front of the mirror, and soon came up with a solution that was not a solution.
That is to let the finger wearing the Lord of the Rings finally enter a particle state.
At present, he cannot make his body enter the particle state all at once, but the entity is definitely much more conspicuous than the translucent body after particleization.
When one of the two must be exposed, he would rather expose his translucent body.
Qin Zhibo made up his mind and summoned the [Substitute Messenger] again.
As one's own "shadow", the stand-in user can train the same skill nearby while he is training a certain skill.
And the proficiency gained will double into your body.
In this way, Qin Zhibo and the substitute messenger each found a toilet door and a room door and began to train the particles.
…
On the other side, Kuroba Kaito and Terai Kinosuke were not idle either.
They opened the luggage they brought and found a variety of paraglider parts, poker gun parts, rope gun parts, etc.
In order to pass the customs inspection, the master and servant dismantled all the equipment parts into very small pieces, and then told the customs that these were fishing equipment and magic show props.
Of course, these props were designed to facilitate customs clearance when they were first designed.
After working hard until nightfall, Kuroba Kaito successfully assembled all the props, put on the white top hat on his head, and transformed into Kaitou Kid.
"The gorgeous Phantom Thief is about to appear in the sky above Las Vegas~"
Taking the notice letter prepared by Kinosuke Terai and putting it in his arms, Kaitou Kid came to the balcony of the hotel, jumped down, and disappeared under the balcony railing.
Terai Kinosuke immediately ran to the balcony to check worriedly, but the next second, the unfolded white flying wings swooped upwards and flew towards the distance.
"Master..."
…
Kaitou Kidd is flying slowly in the sky, like a big white bird wandering in the black ocean.
Soon, the citizens of Las Vegas saw this presence in the night sky that they could not ignore.
"what is that?"
"UFO?"
Las Vegas is very close to Area 51. People here subconsciously thought it was a UFO and took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
But soon, people used telescopes to observe the figure and discovered that it was actually a human being flying in the sky.
"It's a person!"
"That's actually a person!"
"It seems... Kaitou Kidd!"
Some citizens who are familiar with the international thief mentioned that name.
Kaitou Kidd looked at the crowds of passers-by below and showed a satisfied smile. His goal had been achieved.
The next step is to go to the police station and issue a notice letter.
