Conan and I start the hell-level main line

"Wow? Is that Officer Megure? I'm Natsume Hoshi."

"Oh, is that the detective? What do you want from me?"

"I want to apply for a helicopter ride with you to go to the preview site of Kaito Kidd and capture him."

"Requesting a helicopter is impossible."

"Then it's okay for me and Kudo Shinichi to go together."

"You, how do you know that Kudo-kun is going too?"

"Hey, this is just an inference."

……

"Natsume-san, when did you return to Japan?"

Metropolitan Police Department, Beika Police Station

Officer Megure brought the two teenagers to a helicopter, looked at them helplessly, and silently opened the cabin door.

"Not long ago, I just came here and I solved a case right away." Natsume Xing put his hands in his pockets, looking very cool.

"I read the report, Natsume-kun, you are amazing. You found the murderer so quickly." Kudo Shinichi was very excited. Natsume-hoshi was his competition target.

"this is nothing."

"However, I have solved three cases these days. I win in terms of quantity." Kudo Shinichi was not willing to be outdone and boasted about his glorious deeds in recent days.

Haha, Washing Machine is quite competitive when it comes to detective work.

"Hey, hey, if you two don't get up soon, I'm leaving." Inspector Megure looked speechlessly at the two guys who were chattering non-stop.

"Here I come," "Officer Megure, don't go!"

……

In the helicopter, Natsume Xing looked out the window and saw that the clock tower had long been submerged by the tide formed by people. The scenery outside was truly unique and beautiful.

Kudo Shinichi looked around and thought that Kaito Kidd should have already mixed in.

"Natsume-san, you said we are facing the world-famous thief, Kaito Kid?"

"That's right. Kaito Kidd is good at disguise. With Officer Nakamori and his Investigation Section 3's brains, Kidd will definitely be fooled. We still have to support them from a distance."

"Inspector Megure, please contact all the officers of Investigation Section 3."

……

Dong-dong-dong! The clock tower has rung at twelve o'clock. When the 20,000th bright bell arrives, the Demon of Light arrives as expected and falls from the sky.

Puff—a large amount of thick pink smoke erupted, completely covering the hands of the clock tower. After about ten seconds, when the smoke dissipated with the wind, only a bare dial was left.

All the onlookers were collectively surprised, but Kudo Shinichi and Natsume Hoshi were carefully observing the dial.

Sure enough, just as Natsume-kun guessed, Kidd's method seems magical, but it is actually very simple.

(Natsume Star: No, I am spoiling the plot.)

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

At the same time, Officer Nakamori, in a classic case of hindsight, discovered Kidd leaning on the hour hand with a smile on his face.

"Captain Nakamori, I'm sorry, I don't think I'll have that much time to waste with you this time."

"What!"

"I see that you seem to have found a joker who makes me feel a little overwhelmed as a backer this time. I would like to ask this person to decipher the code engraved in the center of this digital dial."

Kidd kicked the secret code he had carved on the faceplate. It must be said that Kidd once again destroyed public property. How many years should he be sentenced to?

"Secret code?" Officer Nakamori stared at the somewhat elusive string of katakana.

At this moment, two bullets penetrated the fixing groove of the curtain, and the curtain began to sway violently with the wind. A white figure appeared in everyone's eyes in the dark night.

"Hey, Shinichi, how dare you just snatch Officer Megure's gun away? That's so bold!"

"It's okay, Officer Megure will protect me, right?" Kudo Shinichi showed an innocent and cute smile.

Inspector Megure could only laugh dryly and felt confused in his heart.

"Well, it's time to end the magic show." Kidd took out a poker gun and fired two shots. Kid and the curtain fell into the crowd and his figure disappeared.

Kuroba Kaito changed his clothes in seconds. Today's mission was completed. It was time to go and coax Aoko. Whoosh! A rose suddenly appeared in Kuroba Kaito's hand.

on the helicopter

"I won't give the bell to you. This Kidd is really interesting." Natsume Xing couldn't help but smile as he looked at the bell tower that had been restored to its original state.

"Natsume-san, it seems we have the same idea."

"Well, Kaito Kidd, we will meet again."

Leaning against the window, the two admired the night view of Jianggutian, which was so memorable under the light of the clock tower guarding the center.
