Chapter 102 Two-Level Reversal
"You want me to explain? I'm also looking for you to explain. We also suffered losses."
Rum was also unhappy when he received the call.
"Didn't the information you provided say that the second-generation Kaito Kidd was only good at techniques and not at combat? And yet, this 'rat who only knows how to perform small tricks' rushed into an attack helicopter and captured two of our members. The attack helicopter was wrecked in the lake, and the two members are now lying in a vegetative state in the hospital. You call that 'not good at combat'?"
"And that Phantom Thief Crow? The information you provided said he's also a thief who doesn't kill or injure anyone, preferring to be elegant. But now we've already lost five assassins to his beatings. The most seriously injured one suffered 36 fractures, and based on the evidence, it seems he was beaten with his bare hands. He was only released from the emergency room yesterday."
The person who was most seriously injured was in real-time communication with Rum at the time, and he had a real-time camera on his head.
Under Rum's command, the humanoid self-propelled camera and the other four companions arrived at the location where the thief Crow committed the crime faster than the police.
Then Rum saw it. Under the bright moonlight of Las Vegas, the man in a black suit and black cape stood on the concrete fence on the top floor of a skyscraper, holding up the gem he had just obtained to the moon, completely unaware of the black muzzle of the gun behind him.
Following Rum's instructions, the distillery manager shouted, "Phantom Thief Crow, you have nowhere to escape. If you hand over the gem and tell me who your accomplice is, we can spare your life."
"Ha." Phantom Thief Crow put the gem into his chest pocket, turned around, and looked at the winery manager without hesitation, snorting disdainfully. "Just you guys?"
Rum keenly noticed that the personality of the Kaito Crow was different from what was described in the information. The look in his eyes that looked down on others as trash had nothing to do with "elegance".
But considering that competitors had previously carried out several assassination attempts on Kaito Crow over the years, his reaction was normal.
The winery official said, "Are you planning on using a hang glider to fly away? But your glider's speed is far less than my bullets. Even if you took off, we could still hit you. I know the cloaks and clothes you sometimes wear can protect you from ordinary bullets, but the bullets I'm using are special. Even bulletproof vests can withstand them at this distance."
Actually, the part about the bullets was exaggerated, but Rum expected that since Kaito Crow was an agile thief, he would be restricted by weight, so even if he had bulletproof equipment on his body, the effect would be very limited.
Judging by the footage from the scene showing Phantom Thief Crow's physique and the thickness of his clothing, it was unlikely he was wearing anything truly bulletproof. Even if he was, he wouldn't be able to protect himself from even a pistol bullet at this distance, let alone such a direct attack.
"Give up, Crow!"
"Crows take planes!"
Faced with such a dead end, the thief Crow suddenly shouted, jumped high towards the muzzle of the gun and made a strange posture in the air with his hands raised and his feet curled up, then kicked the member of the organization who was standing at the end of the team with a live camera on the door.
The video was interrupted immediately.
Then there were sounds like gunshots, screams of pain, curses, and the sound of something breaking through the air, until with the final sound of a soft, heavy object falling to the ground, everything returned to silence.
Not long after, a calm voice like a crow came from the communicator of one of the members: "You are indeed a waste."
With the crisp sound of plastic breaking, even the communication was completely cut off.
Rum was stunned. What the hell was going on?
Several armed killers from our winery were killed by a mere unarmed thief, and judging from the sound, the other party killed him instantly.
After investigation, it was found that there was no blood at the scene except for the five members who fell to the ground, which means that Kaito Crow could be declared unharmed in this battle.
This isn't right, is it? This is absolutely wrong!
Is this something a human can do? Is Kaito Crow also from a gym in Beika Town?
After listening to Rum's accusation, the zoo's senior management said: "First, to answer your question about the second generation Kaito Kidd, 'Kaito Kidd' is just a symbol. The person under the suit may be replaced. There is no guarantee that the Kaito Kidd we have obtained intelligence information about is the same Kaito Kidd you encountered."
"Secondly, we never said Kaito Kidd and Kaito Crow couldn't fight. We simply said they were better at technical tricks and would do everything they could to avoid direct combat, suggesting they 'might' not be good at fighting. However, judging by their ability to engage in high-intensity, high-risk thefts, their physical fitness is definitely not low. That poker gun with a very high hit rate is enough to prove they have their own unique experience in firearms aiming, so the situation you encountered is not surprising. But what's going on with Kudo Yusaku? Isn't it time for you to explain?"
Rum scoffed. "What's the big deal? I've already said that Kudo Yusaku is involved with the FBI. They might have sent special FBI agents to lurk in their homes long before you went there. We didn't send anyone to assassinate them before you came. Besides, Kudo Yusaku is a detective. It's not surprising that he has some special skills as a detective."
Before, the assassination priority of Kudo Yusaku was actually not high. After Vermouth sneaked into the Kudo house, she did not kill the Kudo couple. Rum just asked casually, and after getting the answer "You can kill them anytime you want", he didn't think there was anything wrong.
Who told the zoo to be so secretive? They had to send assassins one by one. If it were a winery, as long as the first member lost contact, they would just send someone to blow up and burn the building, and that would be the end of it.
Rum: "You have a point. But there is one thing that really concerns me, Hyena. Have you noticed that the recent experiences of our two organizations are somewhat similar?"
Hyena: "I know what you're trying to say. Are you trying to say we're being targeted by the same group, and that this group is colluding with the FBI's Kaito Kidd and others? I've considered this before, but the only similarity between our two groups is that they happened at about the same time. Everything else, like the attacks we suffered and the symptoms of the surviving members, is different. Or do you have new evidence?"
Except for the venomous snake that went crazy with its accomplices after being captured, and the spider that was sent to the ICU by enthusiastic people and then fell into a vegetative state, the rest of the zoo members are missing, with no one seeing them alive or dead, and are basically in a passive state.
The winery suffered a more violent and proactive attack. The secret laboratory was destroyed, nearly a hundred members were killed, and dozens fell into a coma with unknown status.
Rum: "If I have to say it, it's just my sixth sense. Besides, even if it's proven that those rats are colluding with each other, it only proves that our decision to form an alliance was correct. For example, right now, through this operation, we have discovered the true hidden strength of Kaito Kid and Kaito Crow, and we have also learned the depth of Kudo Yusaku's collusion with the FBI. The Kudo residence must have special significance in the eyes of the FBI. All this information was obtained by us by exchanging opponents at a very small cost."
The implication is that you should stop playing the victim, acting as if we don't know what kind of people you are. Don't act like a good kid after getting the benefits.
The winery and the zoo are both murderous organizations. The death of a few people is nothing to them, not to mention that the people sent out to carry out such friendly missions are definitely not core members.
The so-called "accountability" is nothing more than an attempt to gain some benefits for oneself.
Hyena also understood what Rum meant and didn't insist. "That's true. But even though it's a deal, if you can't deal with Kaito Kidd and Kaito Crow and need assistance, we can discuss it."
Of course, this requires more favors or benefits in exchange. The zoo is very happy to make money and do its job.
Shameless and insidious scavenger.
Rum cursed inwardly, but his tone remained calm during the call: "Thank you for your kindness, but we don't need it. The second plan against Kaito Kidd has already begun in an orderly manner."
......
"Excuse me, Miss Ghost." Edogawa Conan put the last disc that served as a Poké Ball into the disc book. "By the way, that fishing seminar you mentioned earlier shouldn't be about fishing in the ordinary sense, right?"
"Hmm." Cheng Xiaoyu opened her phone and scrolled to a piece of news. "Look what this is?"
Everyone came closer to take a look. It was a collector who announced that he would exhibit a large gem that he had recently acquired. Legend has it that when illuminated by special light such as moonlight, the center of this gem will reveal the shape of another gem, so this gem was named "Eye of the Moon Goddess" by the collector.
In the interview, the collector said that this gem was considered an ominous existence in the original owner's family and was therefore sealed for many years. This was because the gem would sometimes "cry secretly" on moonlit nights, and since the family got the gem, they had suffered many misfortunes. So the monks invited by the elders in the family believed that this was a devil's stone and must be kept strictly guarded, so they kept it sealed.
The original owner's family had recently suffered a major misfortune and was in urgent need of money, so the younger generation of the family sold it in exchange for their family's medical expenses.
This report may seem insignificant to ordinary people, but for those who know the legend of "Pandora", they will immediately think of the legendary gem that can make people immortal.
It will definitely attract the legendary Kaito Kidd.
Presumably, the winery wanted to create a trap completely targeting Kaito Kid, with their own people from the organizer to the "police".
A true hunter disguises himself as his prey, which is undoubtedly a very effective fishing strategy.
But they just overlooked one thing, that is, the real Pandora had already been found, and it was even taken by Ghost and Kaito Kid himself.
So the situation was reversed again. The fisherman became the fish being caught, and the winery, which thought it was a hunter, turned its fake into real life and really became the prey.
