Egota Town

The ancient clock tower in front of the station has been surrounded by police, and various spotlights illuminate the nearby night sky as if it were daytime.

"It's really incredible. They even have armored vehicles ready."

My father-in-law is really generous.

Kuroba Kaito stood far away on the top of the building, observing the situation in the direction of the clock tower with a telescope.

Terai Huangnosuke looked worried and persuaded Kuroba Kaito to give up his plan to steal the bell tower.

Kuroba Kaito put down his telescope and picked up Kidd's exclusive white magic hat.

It is impossible to give up. This bell tower carries important memories of him and Qingzi. That's why he specifically sent out a warning letter using Kaito Kid's name, targeting this clock tower.

Once the clock tower becomes a criminal evidence related to Kidd and is protected by the Metropolitan Police, it will not be removed and used as a symbol for some theme park.

"Grandpa Terai, listen carefully. Tonight, I am not the son of the magician Kuroba Toichi you have been serving, nor am I Master Kaito who is in his second year of high school. I am just a villain who is causing trouble and unrest in the world. "

The white cloak lifted up, seeming to form a curtain in the night wind. When the curtain fell, Kaitou Kid, dressed in a white dress, officially appeared in front of Terai Kinosuke.

"I advise you to give up on this mission. The tower clock that tells time, when the 20,000th bell rings, the Demon of Light will descend from the eastern sky and annihilate all criminals in one fell swoop.

The clock tower rang its twenty thousandth bell on the very night you predicted the crime. "

For some reason, when Kidd was looking at the target in the night sky, Koizumi Anko's prophecy during the day suddenly appeared in his mind. Kidd twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and threw this ridiculous prophecy behind him.

The Demon of Light?

Haha, could it be that he can transform into some kind of super game mode in front of everyone and knock me, a monster thief, away with one punch?

Everything went as smoothly as Kidd expected.

"Detective Ekoda, 27 years old, police officer Yoichi Izumi, I'm sorry, please have a good sleep."

Kidd put on the hood he had prepared long ago, smoothly slipped into the police team guarding the clock tower, and ran towards the roof of the building where his father-in-law Nakamori Ginzo was.

Among the crowd watching downstairs, Koizumi Hongzi and her servant were staring solemnly at the position of a helicopter high up.

"Right there, I felt the same powerful aura as Hei, and a master with a pair of insightful eyes that can see through people's hearts."

and……

Her worried eyes looked into the darkness in the distance.

There was actually a second half to the prophecy, but she didn't even inform her servants.

The final magician who hides in the dark controls everything behind the scenes and brings disaster to the world.

Except for other mages of the Crimson Magic lineage.

Whether it was the end or the disaster, such words made Koizumi Hongzi feel strongly uneasy.

Inside the clock tower, Nakamori's police department is checking Kidd's identity as a police officer.

Well, when these policemen knew that Kidd would be disguised, the verification method was not that everyone tried to show off, but to verify the license. It was very confusing.

"By the way, just to be on the safe side, what's your police ID number?"

"Sir."

Kaitou Kidd, who has an excellent memory, almost blurted out, but the next second he realized that he was going to be in trouble. No one would remember a meaningless number like a police ID number. If there was one, it must be to do a thorough background check for infiltration. Kaitou Kidd.

Before any of the police officers could react, Kidd ran away.

In the helicopter, Kudo Shinichi was retrieving the architectural drawings inside the bell tower while directing the police officers from the radio to block all exits and enter the ventilation ducts to hunt down Kidd.

As for why Shinichi suddenly got involved in Kidd's plot.

Megure Police Department explained to Nakamori Ginzo on the other end of the phone with a simple smile: "Because I promised to take him on a helicopter ride a long time ago, so I came here just in time to see how busy your place is, haha."

"Haha, you are so big. You understand that this is the mission of Search Section 2. Why don't you bring a brat over to disrupt the situation?! Be careful, I will file a complaint against you, Megure Thirteen!"

Officer Nakamori barked furiously into his cell phone.

At the other end, Douzi was wearing a police uniform and running around in the pipe with a flashlight in his mouth, his expression a little bitter.

He also guessed that the police acted so quickly today, and there must be someone guiding them behind the scenes.

Damn it, is this the Demon of Light that Hongzi mentioned?

Fortunately, although the person commanding seemed to be very powerful, the people responsible for executing the instructions were still old acquaintances from the Zhongmori Police Department. Kidd hid at the exit of the ventilation duct, used anesthetic to subdue the police officers who had been chasing him, and skillfully used his voice-changing skills to disrupt the police deployment.

"Report to the police department. The target has taken off his disguise and is currently running towards the stairs. Please ask for support!"

After Nakamori Ginzo heard the news, he immediately gave up his unilateral behavior of angrily criticizing the Mumu Police Department and ordered the pursuit angrily.

Kudo Shinichi on the helicopter suffered from insufficient intelligence, frowning and thinking about the purpose of Kaitou Kidd's unreasonable behavior.

The clock struck midnight.

Both the police officers upstairs and the onlookers downstairs all looked in the direction of the clock on the top of the tower with bated breath. But I saw a large amount of pink smoke suddenly coming out from the top of the bell tower. The smoke didn't last long. After about 30 seconds, it completely dissipated in the night wind.

However, on the clock dial, the diamond-set hands disappeared in just thirty seconds, leaving only a bare dial.

The onlookers downstairs collectively showed the same shocked face.

Kudo Shinichi keenly noticed that the dial of the clock seemed to be shaking slightly.

Is it...

"Police department, please bring the helicopter closer."

As the plane approached, the wind brought by the propeller blew the curtain on the dial up and down.

Ah, sure enough.

This method is surprisingly simple.

Use smoke to divert everyone's attention, turn off the lights on the top of the bell tower, and then hang a curtain to cover the original position of the dial. Then use projection equipment to project the pre-recorded dial image without hands on the curtain. .

A confident smile appeared on Kudo Shinichi's lips, and he suddenly reached out and pulled out the gun from Police Megure's waist, and then fired a shot at the location where he judged to be used to fix the curtain.

Question: How many years can this behavior be punished?

Of course, in this science-based world where detective status is paramount, the police department itself did not care about the behavior of a young detective suddenly snatching a serving police officer's gun. Even during Nakamori Ginzo's subsequent questioning, he silently I took the blame.

The projection screen was lifted by the wind, revealing Kaitou Kid hiding behind.

Kidd glanced at the helicopter that appeared at an unexpected location. It was impossible to use gliders at such a close distance and would definitely be sucked in by the propeller.

However, most of the purpose of this trip has been accomplished.

Kidd smiled in the direction of Nakamori Ginzo, and then continued to mislead his future father-in-law unceremoniously.

"Although I don't know which foreign aid you called today, this trick that makes me feel a little headache must be able to easily decipher the code I left on the dial."

"signal?"

Taking advantage of Gin Nakamori's three-pointer, Kidd hit the only two fixed slots left above the curtain with a poker gun. The wide white curtain immediately enveloped the Phantom Thief in a white dress and fell into the dense crowd of onlookers downstairs.

Kidd took advantage of the curtain to cover everyone's view, changed his clothes in one second, and transformed back into the harmless high school student Kuroba Kaito, perfectly blending in with the melon-eating crowd.

On the helicopter, Kudo Shin understood the code left by Kidd in a second.

I won't hand the bell over to you.

Thinking of the recent rumors that the bell tower was suspected of being relocated, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but smile, as if he understood something.

"By the way, Memu Police Department, I haven't asked the name of this thief yet..."

Megure Thirteen thought hard about the secret code sent by Nakamori Ginzo, completely blocking Kudo Shinichi's voice.

Forget it, Kudo Shinichi held his chin and admired the night view of Ekoda through the window.

We will naturally meet again if we have the opportunity in the future.
