Chapter 1346 1354 [Detectives Don’t Need Cell Phones]
Hattori Heiji: "..."
Conan: “…”
This seems to be... a solution?
However, although the plan is a good one, think about the comparison of the IQ of both sides...
I always feel that things will not go as smoothly as Inspector Nakamori expected.
…
The roof of the Babel Tower.
After Kidd set off the fireworks, he took out another switch and pressed it.
In the distance, the substation exploded with a loud bang.
It was 8:20, and it was far from time to go to bed, and lights were on everywhere in the city.
Now there is a problem with the substation, and large areas of lights have gone out. The city beneath our feet has fallen into darkness in the blink of an eye.
The Suzuki Museum of Modern Art is no exception.
Suzuki Sonoko was startled by the sudden darkening of the environment, and squeezed to the side. She felt relieved when she bumped into someone, "What's wrong?!"
"The last time there was a sudden power outage like this, it seemed to be due to an earthquake." Toyama Kazuha looked at the sky outside in confusion, feeling that Osaka tonight suddenly became unfamiliar, with fireworks and power outages. She quickly came to her senses and comforted Suzuki Sonoko, "Don't panic! Our emergency facilities are very complete, and the power will be back soon."
After she finished speaking, she realized something. With the help of the emergency lights that came on a few beats late, she looked in the direction of the detectives and said belatedly, "Could it be Kidd who is behind this?"
…
The fireworks could be barely explained as a celebration, but the "sudden power outage in the whole city" incident had a hint of conspiracy no matter how you looked at it.
In the warehouse building in the distance.
Inspector Nakamori just said, "The one who set off the fireworks definitely wasn't Kid!" But after all, he had been fighting wits and courage with the Phantom Thief for so many years, and he actually felt vaguely that something was wrong.
After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but take out his phone and checked the recent festivals in Osaka. Then he found that there was no festival that would set off fireworks.
“…Something’s wrong.”
Inspector Nakamori came to the above conclusion much more slowly.
At the same second when he came to his senses, there was a click, and the lights in the entire building suddenly went out. He, the "Egg of Memory", and the two subordinates beside him fell into darkness.
"It's Kidd's doing!" Inspector Nakamori was shocked and stood up, slamming the table. "Don't panic! Don't panic! - Quick, turn on the backup power first!"
The two subordinates suddenly came to their senses, responded, turned on the flashlight, and quickly ran to the machine to operate it.
Inspector Nakamori watched their skillful movements, calmed himself down, and sat back in his chair.
——In previous operations, Kidd often cut off the power supply or lighting of the exhibition hall. Therefore, keeping the lights on at all times is something the police have long been accustomed to.
"Fortunately, I brought an emergency power supply, otherwise that guy might have slipped in from some dark corner." Inspector Nakamori held the "Egg of Memories" on the table and breathed a sigh of relief.
…
At the same time, on the roof of the Babel Tower.
Kidd stood at the highest point of the area, overlooking the dark city.
As the power went out, guests staying or eating in major hotels were in a commotion. But soon, the backup generators started, power was restored to the rooms and halls, the buildings were lit up again, and the commotion was quickly quelled.
In the hospital, the emergency operating room suddenly went dark, with only a few emergency lights left. Various medical equipment automatically switched to battery power and continued to operate amid the surgeon's scolding. A few seconds later, with the activation of the backup generator, the operating room regained its previous brightness.
The surgeon in charge said: "There's a power outage at this time. I mustn't let me catch the guy who supplies the power..." He snorted coldly, and the knife in his hand flashed a cold light.
On the street outside.
The traffic lights went out and the order on the street suddenly became chaotic.
Innocent Vodka was driving steadily on the road, but when he was distracted, the car in front of him suddenly braked, and then the driver of the car in front of him leaned out and cursed at the driver of the car in front of him who braked suddenly.
Vodka's eyes twitched, and he wanted to stick his head out and curse, but unfortunately, for the sake of the organization's "low-key" style, he had to endure it.
Just before the collision, a normal driver should have braked suddenly to stop the car.
But Vodka was a killer assistant who was always ready to flee, so he instinctively drifted the car 180 degrees and drifted to the sidewalk, keeping it ready to crash through the nearby fence and run away. But it was also because of this operation that at the moment the car was drifting, Vodka felt a scratch on the car body - the left rear seemed to have rubbed against a tree, scraping off a little paint.
Vodka broke out in a cold sweat: "Brother, this is an accident!"
After saying that, he was suddenly startled: Wait, before at the food street, brother felt someone was following him, so he temporarily changed his car.
So now they were driving a modified car that could be thrown away at any time, not the precious car of the eldest brother... Hey! What luck!
Vodka recalled his quick reaction in stopping the car and straightened his back again.
Gin was too lazy to bother with his younger brother's complicated mental journey. He looked at the scattered buildings with lights on outside the window, and suddenly understood something. He laughed, and there was a hint of anticipation in his laugh: "Ha, Kidd..."
Vodka was stunned: "Kid turned off the power? What was he going to do?"
Gin looked through the car window at several buildings in the distance. His eyes suddenly stopped on one of them and he sneered, "Idiot."
Vodka: "..." Is this a curse on him? Or Kidd? Or the police?
...Although he had some doubts in his mind, he didn't dare to ask any more questions when he saw that Brother Gin didn't seem to want to answer. He secretly adjusted the position of the car so that he could merge into the traffic flow at any time and pretend to be an ordinary passing black car again.
…
Kidd stood on the roof of the Skyloft, holding a pair of binoculars in his hand.
He looked at the buildings with lights on, one by one: "Homonen Misaka Hospital, Dojima Century Hotel, Naniwa TMS Hospital, Kansai World Hotel... Hmm?"
When Kidd saw one of the buildings, his eyes suddenly stopped.
——That building, with a colorful billboard on the roof, looks very old-fashioned. It doesn't look like a building with a generator that can be started immediately in the event of a power outage.
He looked at the building, memorized the direction, put away the telescope, and chuckled: "Found it."
…
In the Suzuki Art Museum.
Several detectives looked at the current situation and suddenly realized how Kidd was looking for the "Egg of Memory": "Oh no, Inspector Nakamori might fall for his trick!"
Jiang Xia looked around and felt a little guilty: when he was looking for people to exchange business cards near Kidd's previous crime scene, he also asked Inspector Nakamori to exchange one with his cell phone number. The base station nearby also had a backup power supply, so it was not too late to call now.
