Seeing that Kaitou Kidd was about to have the opportunity to steal the gold statue and gems, Suzuki Jirokichi cheated and took the gold statue back into the building, and replaced it with a fake gold statue using a rotating device.
In the mid-air outside the museum building, Kaitou Kidd saw the real golden statue being taken back. He was not angry at all, but instead showed a smirk on his lips.
With just one flat a, I deceived the old man's life-saving skills.
Suddenly, Kaitou Kidd felt a chill on his back. This chill came from the ground.
He subconsciously looked back to the ground and saw a short boy with glasses squatting on the ground, the sneakers on his feet emitting colorful lights.
Kaitou Kidd: "Uh..."
Being kicked by this thing is no joke, so you should retreat first.
“That’s it for today’s performance!”
"Let's meet at the same place at 12 o'clock tomorrow night!"
With a bang, white smoke exploded, and Kidd's figure suddenly disappeared into the night sky.
"Ah! Kaitou Kidd——"
"Lord Kidd! Please take me away!"
The female fans burst into orgasmic screams, but Conan squatted on the ground and gnashed his teeth.
Just now, he originally planned to wait for Kidd to get the golden statue, and just kick something to knock Kidd unconscious on the roof, so that he could catch him without hurting Kidd.
But today is just a preview, Kidd has no intention of taking action on the treasure.
…
With the retreat of Kaito Kidd, the foundation team held an internal combat meeting to sum up their experience.
Suzuki Jirokichi showed everyone his anti-theft mechanism, which is actually a rotating shaft installed on the roof. When the rotating shaft rotates, the positions of the real and fake gold statues will be swapped.
“So cool!”
Yamamura Sou tapped his foot excitedly, but Nakamori Ginzo was not optimistic about the practicality of this mechanism.
"This kind of wither bug trick can be seen through by Kaitou Kidd in one go."
After witnessing Kaitou Kidd's miraculous magic performance today, Suzuki Jiroyoshi also changed his previous tone, "Of course, I don't think I can hide it from his eyes..."
At this time, Walter Marsh Jr. suggested in English: "If you want to catch Kaitou Kidd, install a micro signal tracker on the gem."
"Um?"
Nakamori Ginzo looked up at this tall, imposing, unsmiling foreigner, and frowned, not understanding what he was talking about.
At this time, Conan stopped pretending and translated for Nakamori: "He said that a signal tracker can be installed on the gem and Kidd can be captured."
After hearing this, Nakamori Ginzo explained with some impatience in his eyes, "Of course we have used this method before, but it was of no use at all. We just found an empty Kidd lair."
The time Nakamori was talking about was the previous "Blue Birthday". Zhongmori deliberately asked Kidd to steal the gems, and then used a signal tracker to track them to a Japanese garden.
Although the gem was recovered using this method, when it was traced to that place, the place was empty and no useful clues were left at all.
In fact, what Nakamori Ginsan and his men found that time was not Kidd's lair, but one of the Beast Brotherhood's strongholds.
However, the group reacted quickly and used a secret passage to escape before the police came in.
When his plan failed, Suzuki Jirokichi came up with another idea.
"Since that guy said he would show up at the same place tomorrow night, I will definitely be waiting for you."
Nakamori Ginzo asked doubtfully: "How are you going to wait for me?"
"I will rent out all the buildings in the surrounding area and deploy more helicopters and guards than tonight."
"I don't know what method he uses to walk in the air! But if he dares to come again, I will definitely catch him and put him in the last chapter of my autobiography!"
Hao's inhumane speech shocked everyone present.
But at this moment, a voice came from behind the crowd.
"Even if you fill the sky with helicopters, Phantom Thief Kidd will still come."
"ah?"
Suzuki Jirokichi and others looked at the speaker, who was Qin Zhibo.
"What do you mean?"
Facing Suzuki Jirokichi's question, Qin Zhibo explained calmly: "No matter how many helicopters there are, Kidd will appear on time, and as long as he appears in mid-air, no one can do anything to him."
"Because it's obvious that we don't have wings and can't fly..."
Everyone looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, confirming that no one here has wings.
Qin Zhibo smiled slightly and then said: "I have a plan, please listen carefully..."
…
The next day, Tokyo Haneda Airport.
In the night, twenty helicopters were parked on the apron, and their pilots stood next to the helicopters they would fly later, doing final inspections before takeoff.
Among them, the pilot of Helicopter No. 7 was wearing a pilot's hat and turned his head furtively to glance at the surrounding pilots.
As Kaito Kuroba's assistant, Terai Kinosuke has many skills, including piloting a small helicopter.
As early as a few days ago, Suzuki Jirokichi was recruiting helicopter pilots with helicopter driving experience. The master and the servant guessed that it was related to the invitation in the newspaper, so they let Terai Kinosuke sneak in.
After all, it was a temporary team. Terai Huangnosuke only provided a forged helicopter license and resume, plus a test flight, and successfully passed the interview.
In other words, for this magic show, the master and servant predicted the use of the helicopter in advance, and then designed the magic show of walking in the air based on the helicopter.
Therefore, Jirokichi Suzuki probably never dreamed that a mole would be included in the helicopter flight demonstration team he spent a lot of money to recruit.
"It's time, get ready to take off!"
With the arrival of 11:30 midnight, the twenty pilots received the order on the intercom and prepared to set off to the target location.
All the pilots climbed into the helicopter cabin, very decisively began to operate various buttons and switches, and finally pulled the engine joystick.
As the propellers of the surrounding helicopters began to rotate, waves of wind and waves arose on the tarmac, Terai Huangnosuke's heart rose to his throat.
Today is the second day of the performance, and it is also the day that the gem is scheduled to be stolen. The trick of walking in the air will be seen through by the detective no matter what.
In order to escape safely even if the ruse was discovered, Terai Kyonosuke used special glue to paste two layers of numbers on the tail fins of all helicopters.
The upper layer contains real numbers, but they are not securely attached.
The lower layer is all number 7, which is very secure.
In this case, by the time everyone realizes that there is something wrong with helicopter No. 7, the wind from the propeller will have already blown away the outer layer of numbers, revealing No. 7 underneath.
All helicopters are number 7, so you can escape by being caught in the middle.
Now it’s time to test whether the glue strength is just right…
Terai Huangnosuke started the engine, but did not take off. He sat in the cabin and quietly observed other helicopters taking off.
"Pilot 7, Pilot 7, what are you still doing there?"
A voice came from the intercom, and Terai Kinosuke was startled for a moment before quickly increasing the engine speed.
The helicopter slowly flew off the ground and headed towards the predetermined location.
…
At 11:45 pm, twenty helicopters appeared over the Suzuki Grand Museum on time.
In the streets below the helicopter, countless people were crowded, and it seemed that more fans came to cheer for Kidd than last night.
Terai Huangnosuke smiled. Once upon a time, he had stood on the side of the stage and looked at the audience below who were cheering for Kuroba Toichi.
The scene today seems to be reappearing yesterday, even more grand.
If Master Heiyu can temper himself over time and become more calm, his future achievements may be able to catch up with Master Pirates... No, he may even surpass him.
Although Kuroba Kaito and Terai Kinosuke are assistants and servants, they treat him more like their own children and have high expectations in their hearts.
After retracting all the thoughts in his mind, Terai Kinosuke began to take pictures everywhere around the museum according to the original plan.
In fact, Suzuki Jirokichi's plan this time is not only to capture Kaitou Kidd and write his autobiography, but also to build momentum for the newly opened Suzuki Grand Museum.
Previously, Shiro Suzuki opened the Suzuki Museum of Modern Art in Osaka. Kaito Kidd stole a handful of Easter eggs, which was widely reported on TV, and the popularity grew, causing the museum to suddenly become famous.
This incident also gave Suzuki Jirokichi some inspiration. Since they were all about trapping Kaito Kid, why not take advantage of the situation to create a reputation for his own museum.
Therefore, all helicopters are required to be photographed at the Suzuki Grand Museum and then edited into a museum promotional video.
In this era, there are no civilian aerial photography drones, so shooting an aerial promotional video is quite expensive.
Moreover, Kaitou Kidd has attracted many free extras on the ground, so this event must be recorded.
According to the plan, Terai Kinosuke needed to pretend to take pictures nearby, and then fly to the predetermined location when it was close to midnight.
But the rest of the plan is slightly different from yesterday.
Yesterday's sky walk actually involved using two fishing lines across the middle of the building to hang Kidd in the air before suddenly appearing in a white jersey.
At this time, Suzuki Jirokichi will naturally send someone to Kidd's head to confirm.
"Unknown Prophet" Terai Kyosuke was the first to fly over and confirm that there was nothing above Kidd's head. At the same time, he retrieved the fishing line between the buildings to the aircraft. Kidd's shoulder was connected to the helicopter through the fishing line.
As for the fishing line used, of course it is not ordinary stuff, it is the latest product given by Dr. Ali last time.
After the police climbed up the building and confirmed that there were no ropes between the buildings, Kidd could perform the air walk openly.
The so-called walking in the air actually means using two fulcrums on the shoulders to use strong core strength and balance to perform a walking look.
Similar to Diaowia.
As for the thumping footsteps, it was played by the loudspeaker in the pocket.
This magic show can be said to be very genius, but it also completely violates the famous Suston's three principles.
Do not perform the same magic trick twice to the same audience at the same time and place.
Therefore, it is almost certain that the principle will be seen through in the second performance.
Therefore, Kaitou Kidd has no intention of focusing on the sky today, but on the earth.
When the time is up, Terai Kinosuke will release a dummy of Kaitou Kid down, pretending to be walking.
The real Kaitou Kidd has disguised himself as Suzuki Jirokichi. As long as he receives any external influence, he will propose to move the golden statue himself.
By then, the golden statue will be within easy reach.
…
When the time reached 11:59, Terai Huangnosuke controlled the helicopter and flew towards the same position as yesterday.
Taking advantage of the darkness, he quietly lowered the Phantom Thief Kidd dummy covered in black cloth and counted down the time in his mind.
3,2,1…
As 12 o'clock arrived, Terai Kinosuke decisively pressed the smoke detonator and took advantage of the fog to immediately retract the black cloth, revealing "Kaitou Kid" inside.
"Appeared!"
"Kidd appears in the sky!"
"Lord Kidd! Lord Kidd!"
The crowd erupted into a climax, shouting and praising.
Although Terai Kinosuke, who was sitting in the helicopter, could only hear the sound of the propeller, his brain could also imagine the scene.
He smiled slightly and turned on the searchlight under the helicopter in a knowing way, shining a light on "Phantom Thief Kidd" below.
However, what he didn't know was that when the lights were turned on, the faces of the onlookers below changed.
"What's going on? That light feels a little strange..."
"The light seems to be a little blurred, as if it's reflecting?"
"Reflective?"
Countless onlookers below were pointing at the sky, and no one could explain why. They just felt something strange above their heads. The night sky here seemed less pure than the night sky next to it.
Moreover, the light emitted by the helicopter is a bit strange, it doesn't feel that bright, and it even has some reflections.
Suddenly, a shout came from the crowd.
"It's glass! There is a piece of glass in the middle of the building!"
Affected by this sound, many people started to observe from this perspective, and their thoughts were indeed verified.
"Looking at it this way, it seems that it is really the case..."
"I remembered! The street was blocked for a while in the evening!"
"Could it be that Kaitou Kidd is actually walking on glass?"
"I guessed it right! I guessed it right!"
The word "there is glass" spread quickly, and soon everyone on the ground knew that there was a piece of glass in the middle of the building.
On both sides of the building, they saw that Kaitou Kidd was floating steadily, and the heads of the policemen who were crawling under the low wall were also exposed.
The police officers who were not afraid of heights, headed by Nakamori Ginzo, glanced at the void tens of meters high in front of them, swallowed nervously, and then stepped on it.
stable!
The ten police officers tentatively stepped on the void, and all of them stood firm, just like Kaitou Kidd.
Nakamori Ginzo lowered his head and observed the slightly turbid tempered glass under his feet. He gradually gained confidence in his heart and looked at "Phantom Thief Kid" in the middle with high morale.
"Kid! You can't run away!"
"superior!"
Following Nakamori Ginzo's order, ten "Void Walkers" stepped into the void and rushed towards the location of "Phantom Thief Kid" from all directions.
…
At the same time, in the TV broadcast car, the real Kaitou Kid was cosplaying as Suzuki Jirokichi, his eyes widened in disbelief, looking at everything captured on the monitor screen.
Not only Kaitou Kidd, but also the policemen became void walkers for a moment, and they all ran towards Kidd's dummy in mid-air.
After thinking for a while, Kaitou Kidd realized the secret behind this.
