Chapter 70
Kuroba Kaito stood on the terrace, turned off the communicator connected to the police internal line, and watched Nakamori Ginzo and Suzuki Jirokichi rushing towards the warehouse with high morale.
A cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He couldn't handle such enthusiasm.
When he changed out of his princess dress, he heard footsteps behind him.
"I've already done what you asked. Can you delete the photos?" Kuroba Kaito turned sideways and looked at the figure behind him.
Edogawa Conan gave the spare phone to Kuroba Kaito.
Kuroba Kaito borrowed the phone, opened the album and deleted the photo of himself being forced to wear a princess dress, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I often disguise myself as a woman, it was very awkward for me to wear women's clothing for the first time, and I was even photographed under duress.
He would never allow this dark history to be leaked.
After deleting the photo, Kuroba Kaito lazily asked, "How's it going? Did the detective find the person who stole the diamond after all this?"
"It's been confirmed. Now we just have to wait for him to reveal his true identity." Edogawa Conan lowered his eyelids.
"This is quite interesting." Kuroba Kaito curled his lips.
"But I was shocked when I saw such a large zircon on the platform. I haven't seen such a big one in a long time."
So after he broke free from the string, he ran away without looking back, without even glancing at the blue diamond in the center.
The corners of Edogawa Conan's mouth twitched: "No wonder you run so fast." It was a bit abnormal.
"In that situation, it would be abnormal not to run, right?"
Kuroba Kaito stepped on the edge of the terrace: "The deal is done. Goodbye, Detective."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kuroba Kaito disappeared.
When Ginzo Nakamori and his men rushed to the warehouse, they found that it was empty. Not only was there no sign of Kaito Kidd, but even the person who reported the location was gone.
It has happened more than once that Kaito Kid imitates other voices to convey false instructions. Ginzo Nakamori came to his senses and realized that the same thing happened this time.
"Damn, I got fooled."
Suzuki Sonoko used the zoom of her camera as a telescope, but still couldn't find Kaito Kid.
"I can't see anything. There's not even a trace of Mr. Kidd here," she complained.
Mao Lilan: "It feels weird."
"Ms. Maori." A male voice called Maori Ran from not far away.
Mao Lilan turned her head and found that it was Ino Shunsuke.
Ino Shunsuke was breathing heavily, as if he had been running. When he saw the two of them from behind, a look of joy appeared on his face: "Great! We finally caught up."
"Did something happen to Mr. Ino?" asked Ran Mouri in confusion.
"It's like this. The police officer from Nagano seems to have discovered a new idea and asked me to borrow Miss Suzuki's camera." Ino Shunsuke said with a smile.
Suzuki Sonoko was a little confused: "What are you doing with my camera?"
Ino Shunsuke scratched his face. "I don't know either. He said it was an important use, but the officer didn't explain it directly."
"Ms. Suzuki, please give me the camera and I will take it back to the police officer." Ino Shunsuke added.
Mao Lilan felt a little strange, but if it was Morobushi Takaaki, he must have a purpose for asking for the camera, and it was normal for him not to explain it clearly.
"Since we can't film the fight with Kaito Kid here, why don't we go back and see what Mr. Morobushi wants the camera for?" she suggested.
Suzuki Sonoko sighed: "Well, there's nothing to take pictures of here anyway, so why not go back and take a look."
After saying that, the two of them walked back together.
Ino Shunsuke frowned, but hid his emotion in a few seconds. He stepped forward and said, "Ms. Suzuki, don't you want to watch Kaito Kid? It's so rare to see it, it would be a pity to miss it."
Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand: "I've been here for so long and haven't seen him. Maybe Mr. Kidd is in the circus."
This must be Kaito Kid's attempt to lure the tiger away from the mountain. This situation has happened several times before, and each time it turned out that Kaito Kid never left. This time might be the same.
When she thought of this, she felt a hint of excitement as she pulled Mao Lilan.
Ino Shunsuke frowned as he looked at Suzuki Sonoko who suddenly became excited, and began to realize that this method would not allow him to get the camera.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's not at the circus. After you left, the police officer found new clues somewhere else."
Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment: "Where is it?"
Ino Shunsuke caught a glimpse of the alley from the corner of his eye and said with a smile, "Come with me."
*
Akiho Kurokawa and Jinpei Matsuda sent the last Digimon back to Failu Island to prevent these naughty little guys from running around while they were busy.
After confirming that all the Digimon had returned, Kurokawa Akifumi rushed to the stage. As he approached the stage, the lights began to dim.
Several emergency lights shone on the center of the stage and the sculpture where the diamond was placed. The faint light made Kurokawa Akishige squint his eyes. Just as he was about to take a closer look, he saw Maori Kogoro running towards him.
"Director Kurokawa, have you seen anyone suspicious?" asked Kogoro Mouri.
Not only Kogoro Mori, but also Toru Amuro and Takaaki Morobushi are following behind him.
Kurokawa Akiwa shook his head: "No, I only saw you."
"Damn, that guy ran too fast?" Kogoro Mouri was panting. He looked around trying to find the man.
Kurokawa Akiwa frowned: "Someone is running over?"
"That's right, Mr. Ino said he saw someone running backstage and thought it was someone impersonating Kaito Kid." Maori Kogoro breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask Ino Shunsuke: "Is it Mr. Ino?"
After turning around, he found that there was no figure of Ino Shunsuke beside him. Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment: "Where is Mr. Ino?"
Not only Ino Shunsuke, but also Shimakata Junichiro was not there.
Oida Norika said, "Mr. Shimakata just said he wanted to go to the bathroom, and Mr. Ino followed him. Detective Mori wouldn't have forgotten, would he?"
Kogoro Mouri suddenly remembered that this was indeed the case. Junichiro Shimakata asked to go to the bathroom, and Ino Shunsuke actually went with him?
"It seems that this is the case. These two guys actually went to the bathroom at this time. Really."
Kurokawa Akiwa looked around, his eyelashes fluttering slightly: "Where's Conan?"
The little detective who was always at the forefront has disappeared.
"That kid might have gone out to play somewhere." Kogoro Mouri waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Officer Nakamori and Mr. Suzuki are not here either?" Kurokawa Akimoto hesitated for a few seconds.
Amuro Toru explained: "Officer Nakamori's subordinates have discovered Kaito Kid and are chasing him."
Kaito Kid's figure was spotted, and Edogawa Conan was gone, but Amuro Toru and Morobushi Takaaki were still there. Putting aside Maori Kogoro, they must have discovered something and stayed.
He could already guess about the fake diamonds; these two would definitely know it at a glance. The only possibility that could keep them here was that the real circus star was hidden inside the circus.
It can hide diamonds without being discovered.
Kurokawa Akifumi pondered for a moment, his blue eyes flashed, and he realized the truth of the matter.
The diamond is in the sculpture.
Maori Kogoro frowned as he looked at his phone: "Why did Xiaolan suddenly send me a message?"
"Ask us if we're still in the circus?" He muttered, "Of course we are. What's the question?"
Kurokawa Akiho walked past them and stood under the light, carefully looking at the sculpture hanging in the center.
"How's it going, detectives? Have you found the person who stole the diamond?" Junichiro Shimakata walked over slowly. "When will we be cleared of suspicion?"
"That's right, it's not a solution to keep wasting time here, right? Kaito Kid has already appeared, and it must be him who did it this time." said Norika Oida.
Amuro Toru glanced at Shimakata Junichiro calmly and said curiously, "That's strange. Didn't Mr. Ino come back with Mr. Shimakata?"
Shimakata Junichiro said nonchalantly: "That guy, he said he has diarrhea and won't be able to come for a while."
"If that's the case, then the person who stole the Circus Star is clear." Zhu Fu Gao Ming said.
Shimakata Junichiro's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he quickly covered it up: "Wouldn't this completely clear us of suspicion?"
Deliberately faked ease.
Kurokawa Akishige muttered silently in his heart.
Now even he knows who stole the diamond.
"How is it possible to clear the suspicion? Aren't the people who stole the circus star Mr. Shimakata and Ms. Oida?" Amuro Toru's mouth curled up slightly, and his purple-gray eyes stared sharply at Shimakata Junichiro.
He paused and said, "No, there's also Mr. Ino."
"It was you three who stole the diamond."
Kurokawa Akiho pressed the corners of his lips. It was the first time he had seen Toru Amuro like this. His seemingly nonchalant but to-the-point question, though asked with a smile, was clearly full of targeting and hostility in his tone.
Junichiro Shimakata frowned and replied in a stern tone, "What are you talking about? I didn't even know Ms. Oida and Mr. Ino before I took on this commission, so how could I possibly steal diamonds with them?"
"This speculation is ridiculous. I didn't expect that the famous and sleepy Kogoro could teach such a student." Oida Norika's face was full of anger, and she was dissatisfied with being accused of being a thief again.
Zhu Fu Gaoming said sternly, "Sheltering someone is also a crime."
Norika Oida looked a little flustered.
"And it's not just shielding, it's covering up. What you did is no different from your accomplices." Amuro Toru narrated calmly.
Maori Kogoro thought for a few seconds and said, "If it's just one person stealing, it's really hard to accomplish. If three people work together, it will be much easier."
"I understand." Maori Kogoro shouted, "Mr. Shimakata was in charge of the transportation security, so he tampered with it along the way. Ms. Oida is obviously a gem appraiser, so it's impossible that she didn't notice that it was replaced with zircon. But she kept it to herself. As for Mr. Ino..."
"Mr. Ino is the one who made the plan, right?" Toru Amuro continued Kogoro Mori's words.
"As for the replacement, with Ms. Oida's abilities, it would be easy to replicate it, right?"
Kurokawa Akishi pursed his lips and couldn't help but wonder how Suzuki Jirokichi chose three thieves at once.
"This is just your guess. Is there any evidence to prove that we are thieves?" Junichiro Shimakata asked after calming himself down.
"The evidence is the cameras of Mr. Ino and Ms. Sonoko, which are not here." said Toru Amuro.
No wonder Conan isn't here. Did they find direct evidence? Kurokawa Akifumi wondered.
Junichiro Shimakata's eyes widened, and he was completely nervous. "Did you see the photo? When was it—"
A series of ringing interrupted the tense confrontation.
Maori Kogoro found that it was his cell phone ringing, he picked up the call: "What's wrong, Xiaolan?"
"Dad, Mr. Ino was the one who stole the diamond in the Mirror House." Ran Mouri's voice was anxious, with heavy breathing. If you listened carefully, you could also hear Suzuki Sonoko's shouting and urging.
"He has a gun—!"
There was a "bang" sound from the receiver, followed by a loud sound of glass breaking. When Mao Lilan hung up the phone, the busy beep echoed in the space.
How can a well-established amusement park like ours have guns that destroy the joys of childhood? Please eliminate the armed individuals in the park and protect its safety!
Mission: Eliminate armed personnel in the park
Mission Rewards: (There are no rewards for malicious missions. Please complete them within half an hour. Failure to complete the mission will result in a deduction of -2000 in the park's safety value and -1000 in the visitor satisfaction score.)
Mission countdown: 29:59.]
Kurokawa Akiwa, who had been leisurely waiting for the detective to solve the puzzle and find the diamond, now had his eyes wide open. A bright red task box filled his entire field of vision, with a huge countdown linked to a negative safety value and satisfaction.
Aren't guns controlled items? Is the problem with him or Beika Town?
