Chapter 139
Chapter 138:
As for the phantom thief Kidd, Nakamori Ginzo, who regards catching this thief as his highest goal in life, will certainly not be here.
When Suzuki Sonoko and his party arrived at the exhibition hall, it was already surrounded and heavily guarded. Jiro Suzuki, who is the organizer, is among them.
“Uncle Jiroji!”
“Oh, Sonoko, you guys are here.” Suzuki Jiroyoshi looked at Nakamori Ginzo, “Let them in.”
Nakamori Yinsan waved to his subordinates: “Let them in!”
The juvenile detective team exclaimed, “Wow, it’s so spectacular!”
“The ceiling is transparent, so high, and you can see the stars, so beautiful!”
Suzuki Jiroji reminded them with a smile: “Don’t forget to pay attention to your feet.”
“Under your feet?”
A few children looked down and saw that the floor here is a smooth LED screen. At this moment, it emits a soft yingying white light, and most of the light in the whole space comes from this: “It doesn’t seem to be anything special.”
Suzuki Jiroji said: “I’ll show it to you in a while, it’s definitely a shocking scene!”
Young Detective Team: “Oh! I’m looking forward to it!”
“When will the presentation start?”
During the conversation, the group had come to the center of the exhibition hall, where Suzuki Jiroyoshi and Nakamori Ginsan stood. The latter asked through the walkie-talkie, “Has anyone been found?”
“Report, Professor Cecil is not in his room. According to Miss Keith, Professor Cecil went back to the room because of physical discomfort after the speech. She knocked on the door ten minutes ago, and he was no longer in there. ”
“Do you know where they went?”
“I don’t know yet. We have asked Mr. Anderson, and he doesn’t know. Mr. Adams seems to have gone to the deck and we are on our way to find him.”
Keith and Adams are both students under Cecil, but they have different education backgrounds.
Of course, the main reason is that Cecil’s family is no longer there. It is too lonely to come alone, which is not conducive to emotional stability.
Nakamori frowned: “Hurry up, ask a few more people to find it together, the exhibition will start soon, and there can be no gems.”
“Is Venus originally with Professor Cecil?”
“Yeah, what Professor Cecil asked for, after all, is the relic left by his wife. Although it’s not very safe, no one knows that the gem is there, so it shouldn’t matter.” Suzuki Jiroji looked at the speaker, “You are…”
Suzuki Sonoko introduced him: “This is Miss An Yankui, the girlfriend of Mr. Anshi, the disciple of Uncle Moori!”
“It turned out to be Miss An Yan and Mr. An Shi. You two are really talented and handsome. How are you?”
Suzuki Jiroji had heard about Amuro Toru, but it was the first time they had officially met. He had a good first impression of the two, and said with a smile.
What the **** is a female talent?
“Mr. Suzuki, look forward to it for a long time.”
The three simply said a few words of courtesy.
A few people from the juvenile detective team turned around the entire exhibition hall and said strangely: “Uncle, where is the place where the gems are displayed?”
Suzuki Sonoko: “Yes, the ground here is bare, where should the gems be placed?”
“Eh? Don’t even Sister Sonoko know?”
“Of course, this is my first time here, and Uncle Jiroji refused to tell me anything before that.”
Suzuki Sonoko was also a little resentful, “In this way, Lord Kidd can’t get information from me, and I thought I could get in close contact with Lord Kidd!”
The collective half-moon eye of the juvenile detective team: “…”
Mao Lilan was quite used to her style, but only whispered: “Fortunately, Jingji-kun is not here.”
Shiliang nodded innocently: “It really takes courage to be her boyfriend.”
Conan overheard: … the courage to be jealous?
Suzuki Jiroji admired their bewildered expressions, and laughed loudly: “You are the juvenile detective team. You can’t just ask questions when you encounter problems. Take a closer look, and the answer is right in front of you!”
Young Detective Corps: “Eh—”
“Forget it if you don’t tell us, just wait and see, our juvenile detective team will definitely uncover the mystery of the stage!”
“Then I’ll wait and see.” Suzuki Jiroji looked at the others, “Would you like to try it too? Mouri, you and your disciples are fine, leave the game to the young people.”
Maori Kogoro laughed: “Of course!”
An Yankui blinked and smiled while holding her boyfriend’s arm: “What a pity, I still want to ask if you can see the answer.”
“If I tell you quietly, there should be no problem.” The blond young man also smiled, lowered his head halfway, and said softly, “That Professor Cecil may have been murdered just like Mrs. Cecil’s brother. .”
An Yankui?
How does one answer this?
She laughed dryly: “I hate it, do detectives like cases so much?”
“How could Professor Cecil be murdered? He must have gone out to relax.”
Amuro rolled his eyes: “You’re right, he must have gone out to relax.”
The whispers of the two did not affect the others.
Suzuki Sonoko akimbo: “Don’t look down on people, I’m the queen of reasoning! This game is just like OnePlus 1 for me, it’s not challenging at all, I’ll just forget it.”
Conan: …
Are you serious?
Although the Queen’s reasoning was a bit high, this question was not difficult. The young detective team guessed the answer that rose from the ground.
Nakamori Yinsan asked about the progress of the search again, and his subordinate replied that Adams had never seen Cecil, and was now launching a carpet search.
“What, that guy named Cecil won’t temporarily regret not wanting to take out the gem?”
An Yankui touched his chin and smiled, “Well, maybe he wanted to put the gems up in public at the beginning.”
“It’s possible.” Suzuki Jiroji calmly said, “Professor Cecil didn’t seem to be remorseful when he talked to me before. Let your people find it first, he will definitely appear.”
The faces of the three children were somewhat disappointed.
“I thought I could see a gem.”
“There must have been a lot of people when the exhibition started.”
Suzuki Jiroji waved his hand: “Then let me show you something else. Although there are fewer gems, the shock level will not be less!”
“Okay!” The three children were excited again.
Everyone left the exhibition hall temporarily as required, and the light on the ground and surrounding areas went out little by little. When they returned to the entrance, the entire exhibition hall was already shrouded in darkness, and only the starlight of the Milky Way was scattered from the dome.
Suzuki Jiroji motioned to them: “Okay, let’s go in now.”
A few children walked at the forefront, and Ayumi and Ai Haibara took the lead to set foot in the darkness.
“It’s a star!” Mitsuhiko and Genta from behind said in surprise.
Between the place where the two girls stepped on, the starlight lit up impressively.
“It’s so beautiful!” Ayumi also saw it, she tried to lift her foot, and sure enough, there was the same pattern under her foot, emitting a soft bright silver light.
Several children rushed in excitedly, even Conan and Qiu Zeyao were no exception, but their footsteps were not so jumpy.
As they ran, a star bridge of starlight gradually formed on the floor.
Others followed suit and stepped on the star bridge. Jiro Suzuki introduced as he walked: “There is a pressure sensor here, but too many people are easy to overload, and it doesn’t look good, so when the meeting officially starts, I plan to take a few. One lucky passenger to experience it.”
I have to say that such a scene is still very shocking. Above the electronic virtual galaxy, looking up is the distant starry sky, and the middle is dimly lit black. Standing here, it seems to be in the vast universe. so small.
Mitsuhiko and Genta, who had passed the two girls halfway, were about to run to the center. When they stepped on a certain area, a beam of light fell from the sky, illuminating the center. With the beam as the center, the stars went out one by one, and then A new screen lights up again.
“Is this… the solar system?” Conan looked around, and what he was stepping on happened to look like the earth. The planets in the solar system should all be there except Venus, and Venus is still there with Cecil.
The ground in the center of the beam slowly opened, and a cylindrical transparent booth rose from there. Not surprisingly, it was the place where Venus was placed, but it was empty now.
“Hey, this booth has no gaps at all, how do you put the gems in?”
“It is impossible to open from here, and if it is violently destroyed. Once the pressure exceeds the threshold, the mechanism I set up in advance will lock the people here, no matter how fast the phantom thief Kidd’s reaction is, there is no time to escape!”
Suzuki Jiroji laughed, obviously already thinking about the future of catching the phantom thief Kidd, “The news that the phantom thief Kidd, who has been at ease for many years, was caught by me, Suzuki Jirokichi, must be the headline! Hahaha!”
“But if you can’t open it, how do you put the gems in?”
“From below…”
“From below?”
Suzuki Jiroji said: “Look carefully, the inside of the showcase can be opened from below. In the raised state, the staff can enter the showcase from below and put the gems away.”
“It is impossible for the thief Kidd to go in from below and steal the gem. After the gem is placed, the mechanism will be activated. Once someone takes the gem, the entrance below will be instantly locked, and it can only be opened from the outside. No one can escape by himself!”
An Yankui looked inside curiously: “Is there also a pressure sensor on the base?”
“Yes, as long as the weight change exceeds 0.1mbar, the mechanism will be triggered.” Suzuki Jiroji nodded, “and even if the gem is really stolen by him, there is a positioning device that we put on it in advance, this is the Pacific Ocean, once he arrives There is no doubt that he will die in the sea. And as long as he is still on the boat, he will never escape my palm!”
“Unless the thief Kidd gives up stealing Venus. But then his invincibility myth will also end here! Hahaha!”
Hearty laughter echoed in the exhibition hall, and the effect was comparable to reverberation.
People are ashamed…
“Eh? Why is there a piece of paper here?” Mitsuhiko bent over to pick it up and shouted in surprise, “It’s a notice from Kaito Kidd!”
“Phantom Thief Kidd?”
Nakamori Yinsan couldn’t stand up anymore, and took three steps in two steps, “Let me see!”
Kaitou Kid has appeared once before, but it was only in response to Jiroji Suzuki’s challenge, and he did not specify when.
After all, even Phantom Thief Kidd couldn’t guarantee that he would get the gem without confirming the situation or making a plan.
Suzuki Jiroji stopped his laughter: “It seems that the thief is here. He heard what I said, so he was furious! It’s just right, Kaitou Kid, even if you hear my arrangement this time, it won’t help, just wait for me Catch it!”
Others are more concerned with the content of the notice, and surround Nakamori Yin in the middle: “What is written in the notice?”
Nakamori Yinsan said: “[This is the day when justice comes. The starlight prevents me from being afraid of darkness, and the darkness cannot blind my face. I came for beauty, and I will steal the goddess who cleans up sin. Enter Kaito Kid. ]”
“The day when justice comes should refer to today, but what is the mess behind it?”
Mitsuhiko touched his chin: “Venus means Venus, it can also be the goddess of beauty in mythology, and has the alias of the goddess who cleans up sin. So the last two sentences mean that he will come to steal gems.”
“Does it need to be said?” Kogoro Mouri adjusted his tie, ready to start his reasoning, “The date is today, yes, the starlight keeps me from being afraid of the darkness, the darkness cannot blind my face, the darkness must be referring to just now. When we went out, the state of the exhibition hall, the starlight was the planets that appeared when the booth rose. Because the darkness couldn’t cover my face, the starlight wouldn’t be the first light that lit up as I walked.”
“In other words, the meaning of these two sentences is – Kaitou Kidd is ready to start the moment the booth rises.”
Suzuki Jiroji thought it made sense: “The exhibition started at ten o’clock in the evening, and it took only a few minutes for the selected passengers to walk to the center. Now it is… nine forty-seven, so there are at most twenty minutes. De will be caught by me!”
“Hey! Chuanxia, record that scene for me when the time comes!”
Kawashita, who was holding the camera, said loudly.
Conan: …
He tugged at Nakamori Yinsan’s trousers: “Can you show me that notice?”
“Here, remember to give it back to me after reading it, this is the last notice letter from Kaito Kidd, I’m going to frame him and hang him in my office!” Nakamori Yinsan was delighted by the future he imagined, and his laughter gradually became rampant. .
Conan Banyueyan got the notice and swiped the words on it.
“Ah Lie Lie, the words on this notice are printed!”
“Of course, it is printed every time. If Kaito Kidd had written it by hand, the handwriting identification class would have locked him up for so many years.” Nakamori Yinsan said.
“That’s weird, isn’t it?” Shiliang Zhenchun said, “Before, the door here was always closed and not open to anyone. The ones just now were displayed for the first time since the ship sailed. Because these officers are all It’s very shocking, if you’ve seen it before, you won’t be so surprised.”
“That is to say, whether it’s us or Kidd the phantom thief, we just learned that there will be such a performance before the exhibition. Although there is a place to print on the ship, it is obviously not enough time for a round trip, and if there are people entering and leaving, it will not be possible. May not be noticed.”
Mao Lilan suddenly said, “It’s true.”
Suzuki Sonoko: “So this notice must be printed in advance, so it can’t be what you mean by Uncle Mouri!”
