Chapter 51
The gems weren't stolen.
As soon as Nakamori Ginzo let go, Muan Jiaxi immediately took off running away from him, as if he were a wolf, not even stopping. He finally stopped when he was a safe distance away, rubbing his face and jumping around, crying out in pain, "Hiss, it hurts so much!"
Toru Amuro was not spared from his clutches either. His dark skin was pinched so hard that it looked red. One could imagine how much force he used.
Just when Ginzo Nakamori was about to extend his claws to Masumi Sera again, the light above his head suddenly exploded, and it was pitch black in an instant, and he couldn't see his hand in front of him.
As for the gem, because the mechanism had just been demonstrated, the glass was now completely black, and the position of the gem could not be seen at all.
Everyone screamed and exclaimed, wondering what was happening. Nakamori Ginzo kept shouting for everyone to turn on their flashlights and protect the gems. Seeing this scene, Muan Jiaxi knew that Kaito Kidd had arrived.
At the same time, I also guessed who he was pretending to be.
The police quickly found the glass with their flashlight and, shining it down, discovered it was intact, in its original state. Suzuki Jirokichi quickly stepped forward to deactivate the mechanism, only to find that the glass was empty; the gem was gone!
Xiaolan exclaimed, "The gem is gone!"
Conan quickly ran to the glass, trying to find some flaws and clues inside.
Suddenly, Sonoko shouted, "Lord Kidd!" with excitement and surprise in her tone.
Everyone looked over and saw a man suddenly appear above the display case. He wore a white top hat, a stylish suit, a white cape, and a monocle. His every move was handsome and gentlemanly. He half-knelt down, looked at them, and said with a smile, "I'll take the gem. Thank you."
Suzuki Jirokichi ran up to him and shouted, "Kaito Kid!"
Kidd lowered his hat, stood up, put his hands on his chest and bowed to them gentlemanly, smiled and said, "Goodbye, everyone, see you next time." As he finished speaking, a puff of white smoke suddenly rose, and when everyone looked again, there was nothing above the glass, and there was no trace of Kidd.
Seeing this, Ginzo Nakamori said, "Kid must not have gone far, let's chase him!" As soon as he finished speaking, all the police officers ran outside in unison, and then he ran outside as well.
Conan also ran out to chase him immediately, but Muan Jiaxi did not go out and still stood there, which made him more certain that the man was Kidd.
While the others were out chasing, the lights returned to normal, and the place was bright again, as bright as day. Xiaolan and Yuanzi gathered in front of the platform, trying to figure out how the gem was taken out. The mechanism was open just now, and there was electricity on it, but they saw with their own eyes that the gem disappeared.
Sonoko looked at the glass with admiration in her eyes and exclaimed, "How did Mr. Kidd do that? It's amazing!"
Xiaolan was also incredulous: "The glass is completely undamaged, how did he get it out?"
Mu'an Jiaxi also came over and circled around the glass, but found no flaws. He couldn't help but admire him and said, "This is amazing. I'm starting to admire him. This technique is amazing. I wonder if he will accept any disciples."
Conan came back at some point, and when he heard her words, he poured a bucket of cold water on her and said coldly: "Then you will probably be disappointed."
Hearing this, Mu Anjiaxi looked at him, his curiosity aroused, and asked in confusion: "Why?"
Conan said: "Because it depends on whether he is willing to accept it. He probably won't accept someone like you."
Mu An Jiaxi's mouth twitched. What's wrong with her? She is quite feminine and obedient.
She walked aside and ignored him. This Conan was really a little brat. It was just that he didn't tell him about the organization, so why did he confront her as soon as he got the chance?
She later heard from Toru Amuro about the main purpose of Conan's visit to the hospital. He came to the hospital to see her that day. First, he was really worried about her, and second, he actually wanted to ask about the organization, but in the end he was stopped by Toru Amuro.
Since he was discharged from the hospital, he asked from time to time, asking openly, asking secretly, and asking in a roundabout way. Mu An Jiaxi's attitude was also directly exposed, that is, he knew nothing about anything.
In fact, the reason why Mu'an Jiaxi did this was that he was too curious.
With Conan's personality, as long as you tell him a little about the organization, his adventurous and truth-seeking nature will make him rush into it without caring about himself. So for his own good and for the perfect ending of her Shinichi and Ran CP, it is better not to tell him.
Amuro Toru checked along the glass and said, "There doesn't seem to be any signs of damage on the outside." Turning to look at Suzuki Jirokichi, he asked, "Can this be opened?"
Suzuki Jirokichi said, "Okay." He walked forward and pressed another button. The glass slowly opened to both sides. The table in the middle where the gems were placed was empty.
Muan Jiaxi stood beside Amuro Toru curiously, looking carefully at the small table in the center where the gems were placed. He was very curious about how he took away such thick glass.
At this time, Sera Masumi also came over and said, "That's amazing."
Mu'an Jiaxi heard the voice and looked at her. A mysterious smile appeared on his face, and he suddenly said strangely, "Yes, he is really amazing. I admire him so much."
She seemed not to understand the meaning of his words, and said with a hint of pride in her tone: "Is he really that powerful?"
Looking at the increasingly obvious tail, Muan Jiaxi showed a cunning smile on his face, leaned close to her ear and whispered: "The tail is exposed, Kaito Kidd."
Shiliang Zhenchun's face froze for a moment, and he laughed dryly: "Haha, Sister Jia Xi, you are really joking."
Mu'an Jiaxi smiled without saying anything. He poked her face for a moment and then asked curiously, "What material is this made of? The texture of your skin is just like the real thing."
At this moment, sweat gradually flowed down Kaito Kidd's forehead, and the smile on his face was almost gone. Looking at the terrifying woman in front of him, he thought to himself: How did this woman see through me?
She also knew when to stop. She had never intended to reveal his identity from the beginning to the end. It was just that she had finally met Kidd, and he was pretending to be so similar, so she was just curious. She withdrew her mischievous hand and finally let him go. She whispered, "Don't worry, I won't expose you. I'm your little fan. How could a fan do something to let down their idol? Tell me, right?"
Then he added: "I'm just curious about how you took the gem out."
Seeing that she already knew his identity, Kaito Kidd simply stopped pretending, regained his composure, and said proudly: "This is my strength. Do you admire me even more?"
I thought I'd found out something, but he was being mysterious and wouldn't tell me. Mu'an Jiaxi said lazily, "Yes," and walked away.
She walked aside and looked at Maori Kogoro, who was not in the best of spirits throughout the whole event, wondering to herself, "What's wrong with him?"
A voice answered, "He lost the horse race today."
Mu'an Jiaxi suddenly realized, "No wonder." He looked down belatedly and found that it was Conan.
Conan stood in front of the table where the gems were placed, his hands in his pockets. He didn't look at her, but continued, "He bet all his pocket money this month on horse racing and ended up losing it miserably."
Speaking of horse racing, Mu'an Jiaxi has never seen him win many times. He can only sigh that his luck is so bad, but he just wants to play. He can really be said to be a novice but loves to play.
At this moment, the police officers who had just been chasing Kaito Kidd suddenly turned around, and one of them said breathlessly in panic: "We are lost and can't get out!"
"Yes, there's no way out!"
Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around. Amuro Toru was the first to ask, "What happened? Don't we have a map? Why can't we get out?"
Nakamori Ginzo returned and, upon hearing his words, frowned and said angrily, "This map is fake. We followed it, but ended up going in circles for a long time and ended up back at the same place."
Mu'an Jiaxi stepped forward and said, "I remember when we first came in, there was a police officer guarding every intersection. I wonder if they've all withdrawn because they're chasing after Kaito Kidd."
Nakamori Ginzo said: "When they heard Kaito Kidd, they ran after him."
Muan Jiaxi was speechless. He finally understood why Ginzo Nakamori could never catch Kaito Kid.
Suzuki Jirokichi then said, "How could this map be fake?"
Nakamori Ginzo got angry when he saw him, and immediately yelled at him, "Look at the place you are looking for, where is it? The map is fake."
Suzuki Jirokichi refused to admit defeat and retorted, "You police officers are useless and you blame me for the map. How would I know the map he gave me was fake?"
Seeing that the two were about to start a fight, Maori Kogoro quickly interrupted and said, "The most important thing now is to get out. Where's the map? Let me see it."
Nakamori Ginzo handed him the map, and Maori Kogoro took it, and everyone gathered to watch. Conan also squeezed in the crowd to see, but unfortunately, he was not tall enough, and no matter how he jumped, he couldn't see it, and he got himself into a mess, and looked very funny.
Mu'an Jiaxi couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this, and decided to do a good deed. He lifted Conan up by the collar with one hand, but before he could even lift him up for a second, Conan was carried away.
She looked at the person holding the person and said in surprise, "Mr. Amuro."
Amuro Toru looked at her disapprovingly, "Do you want to cripple this hand too?"
Mu'an Jiaxi immediately shook his head violently and said, "No."
Toru Amuro no longer paid attention to her and looked at the paper in Kogoro Mouri's hand while holding Conan.
She touched her nose awkwardly and moved forward.
There was nothing wrong with the map, it was very simple, just like the maze answer maps that An Jiaxi usually saw. There was a winding curve on it, from here to here, which seemed to be fine. But according to them, he couldn't get out by following this map.
At this time, Amuro said, "Did you see any landslide when you just came here?"
The policemen behind him all shook their heads and said in unison: "No."
If there is no landslide, then there is something wrong with the map.
Then everyone unanimously decided that in order to avoid getting separated and lost, they should walk together and go out to find the way together.
Just as everyone was about to walk to the door, Conan and Amuro Toru stopped them in unison, saying, "Wait a minute."
Everyone looked at them in confusion, and Nakamori Ginzo asked, "What happened again?"
Conan, who was held in Amuro Toru's arms, shouted, "The gem hasn't been found yet."
Nakamori Ginzo wondered, "Wasn't the gem stolen by Kidd?"
Mouri Kogoro, who was standing by, heard Conan's voice and suddenly stepped forward. Without saying a word, he grabbed Conan from Amuro Toru's arms and said angrily, "Stop making trouble, kid." Then he put him on the ground and gave him a slap on the head. He almost knocked Conan to the ground. A big bump as big as a fist instantly swelled up on the back of his head.
Mu'an Jiaxi looked at the lump on the back of Conan's head in surprise. It was really growing visibly. It was amazing.
Conan was beaten so hard that stars appeared in his eyes. He covered the back of his head with his hands and looked at Mouri Kogoro with dead eyes.
Amuro Toru said calmly: "The jewel has not been stolen, it is still here."
Instantly, everyone showed expressions of astonishment and disbelief. Nakamori Ginzo said incredulously, "It wasn't stolen."
