Even if that guy did something like a stunt in a movie, jumping straight from the rooftop into the room...
"Wait, how many floors does this restaurant have?"
[25th floor.]
At the same time as Taro, Inspector Nakamori and Conan also counted off.
Yoruichi Toyama then realized that she had just asked the question.
Despite the questioning looks from several people, he was still pondering the question he had just asked.
Even if Kidd were a martial arts expert like Jackie Chan, capable of leaping from the top floor and vaulting into a window on the floor below.
But it's separated by 5 floors, at a height of over 20 meters...
He couldn't have just flipped down; he must have used a rope or some other tool.
However, when people went to look at the exterior of the building, they didn't see anything.
All the windows in the rooms were tightly closed, and there wasn't a single light, making the room exceptionally quiet under the moonlight.
abnormal……
"There were no lights, and the windows weren't open..."
As Yoruichi Toyama muttered to himself, he suddenly turned around and grabbed Inspector Nakamori's arm.
"Inspector Nakamori, could you please have the helicopter descend a bit?"
"What? This rooftop shouldn't be suitable..."
"Not a landing!" Yoruichi Toyama gestured towards the exterior wall of the building. "Just a slight descent, closer to that side..."
Inspector Nakamori was stunned for a moment before shaking off his hand.
"You still haven't told me who you, and all of you, really are?"
Judging from the wariness in his eyes, it seemed like he was truly seeing Hakuba Saguru for the first time.
This world line...
Don't ask me, I don't know either.
Taro extricated himself from the situation before Yoruichi Toyama could even ask a question.
Yoruichi Toyama could only shrug.
It feels like this time-traveling elf, after being a cat for a long time, is completely transforming into a cat-like being.
They don't care about anything; if they can lie down, they won't sit; if they can sit, they won't stand.
Alright, anyway, the current plot is already quite different from the original work.
I don't count on him.
Hakuba Saguru politely introduced himself and also introduced Conan.
Akechi adjusted his glasses: "Mr. Yoruichi Toyama is a specially appointed consultant for our First Investigation Division. Hasn't Inspector Nakamori heard of him?"
Inspector Nakamori was speechless for a moment, forgetting even to say the usual platitudes like "Nice to meet you."
The people in front of me are either my own people from the same department, or they have my highest-ranking officer standing behind me.
He can't afford to offend anyone except Conan.
However, even amidst his busy schedule, Inspector Nakamori was still thinking, "Why did I have to offend an elementary school student?"
"So, Toyama," taking advantage of his momentary daze, wisely and tactfully played along with Toyama Yoru, "what are you doubting?"
Yoruichi Toyama shook her head.
"It's no use now. I reckon Kidd has already escaped to a place we can't find."
Unless the police really disregard the consequences, seal off the entire Beihu Hotel, and then investigate everyone.
According to Inspector Nakamori's usual practice, in order to expose Kid's disguise, he would pinch each person's face.
It's obvious they wouldn't dare do that.
"I was just thinking... By the way, Akechi, do you have a wish to uncover the secret behind this last magic trick?"
"Uncover the secrets of magic?" Akechi's eyes flickered behind his glasses.
"What do you want to do?... Inspector Nakamori, could you help with the coordination?"
Despite his reluctance, Kidd ran away. Inspector Nakamori weighed the pros and cons and gave face to Akechi, who was hailed as the Metropolitan Police Department's rising star.
The helicopter slowly descended and approached the wall where Kidd had jumped down.
The strong wind stung everyone's faces, and they could barely open their eyes.
But Yoruichi Toyama still managed to walk to the railing, when suddenly her eyes lit up, and she pointed down and exclaimed:
"Look, everyone!"
Look, what are you looking at?
The crowd that had gathered looked in the direction he was pointing at the exterior wall that had no lights and no open windows.
The strong winds whipped up by the helicopter created ripples on the exterior wall, as if it were an entrance to another dimension.
"No, wait!"
"Could it be..."
Just as the detectives blurted out their answers, they suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound.
The edge of the outer wall closest to the helicopter was actually lifted up.
That wasn't a real exterior wall at all, but a huge screen with an image of the hotel's exterior wall printed on it.
It hangs down from the protruding edge below the rooftop, straight down to the ground.
However, because the ground floor of high-rise buildings usually has an extended podium, the end of the curtain is also blocked.
On a night illuminated only by moonlight, it's impossible to tell what's real and what's fake.
"So, after Kidd jumped down, he grabbed the edge of the curtain and used the ropes that had been hung inside to escape to some guest room below..."
For the detective and the audience of the magic show, the revelation of the truth was just one opportunity away.
Conan and Hakuba Saguru reached their conclusions almost simultaneously.
Frustrated, Inspector Nakamori had no choice but to contact his colleagues on the ground and ask them to guard the hotel entrances and exits and observe for any suspicious persons.
Such surveillance is better than nothing.
Akechi patted Yoruichi Toyama on the shoulder, looking quite relaxed.
"I still want to thank you, Yuanshan."
"Nothing is more reassuring than having your doubts resolved after watching a wonderful magic show."
"I guess that magician thought the same thing."
