Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World

Kaito Kid stepped forward and easily took out the fake fire hydrant he had prepared in advance, as if everything was under his control. "That is, he mixed in with the construction team and installed the fake fire hydrant here in advance."

Officer Nakamori stood aside, sweat dripping from his forehead, his face full of shock and annoyance, "So, that old man is also his accomplice?"

Kaito Kid's mouth curled up slightly as he continued to explain, "That's right. After that, the president and the staff activated the spray device and checked the showroom and left, he crawled out of the fake fire hydrant. By installing the invisible lens in front of the camera, he could open the door and enter the showroom openly."

Suzuki Jiroyoshi frowned, his face full of suspicion: "But, the four-digit code to open the door lock is only known by me, President Yoshida and Kase Masuo."

Kaito Kidd took over the conversation: "Isn't Kidd hiding here? He can still hear the keystrokes. After hearing four keystrokes, he knew it was a four-digit password. Because there is no need to press buttons other than the password, if you look closely, you can see which number keys have fingerprints.

If these four numbers are all different, there are 4 possible combinations; if there are three numbers, and one of them is repeated twice, there are 24 possible combinations. Even if we try all of them, with Kidd's ability, it shouldn't take more than 3 seconds."

Officer Nakamori and Suzuki Jirokichi suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly, their eyes full of admiration for Kaito Kid's insight.

"So this is ah."

"As expected of Kudo Shinichi."

Kaito Kid raised the corners of his mouth, pretending to be modest, but he could not hide the smugness on his face: "No, no, it's nothing."

Conan rolled his eyes secretly, and complained madly in his mind: "You are just telling everything you have done."

Kudo Yuki smiled and tried to smooth things over, her eyes full of pampering: "Little detective, you have to try your best this time!"

Conan curled his lips and muttered quietly: "Do I need you to tell me that?"

Officer Nakamori looked annoyed: "We were tricked by Kidd again."

"No, I did it on purpose." Bai Ba Tan looked calm, turned his head and looked at Kaito Kidd, with a sly look in his eyes, "Even if Kaito Kidd is afraid of moisture, as long as he wears nylon clothes, it won't be affected much."

Suzuki Jirokichi pressed the issue: “If that’s the case, why did you suggest to me that he was afraid of moisture?”

"This is to let him use invisible lenses. Through the lens, vertical light will disappear, but the picture will become blurred. So, I thought of using water vapor to blur the indoor vision from the beginning."

"So, the randomly changing light is also like that?"

"That's right. I made a special arrangement to guide him to use the invisible lens. I noticed that the fire hydrant was a little more protruding than the design. And it was also my instruction to make the door lock button make a sound."

Kudo Yuki looked at Hakuba Tan with great interest and said teasingly, "From what you said, you know a lot about Kaito Kidd. You must have dealt with him a lot, right? You can even predict his reaction in advance. You have the potential to be a detective. From the beginning, all of this was planned by you."

Bai Ma Tan raised his chin slightly, his expression showing a bit of pride: "I have studied Kidd's style and methods for a long time, so I can naturally guess his response strategy. All of this is to lure Kaito Kidd into the exhibition hall and then trap him inside.

As a result, the high school detective from Kanto and Conan were involved, and a murder case occurred. It was really unexpected. Anyway, let's investigate the murder scene first. Kudo, you come too. "

"Okay." Kaito Kidd replied, but secretly complained in his heart: "I didn't expect Hakuba to come back. You should study hard in London. Why did you come back?"

Hakuba put his hands in his pockets and took a step towards the room, then stopped and turned to look at the Kudo siblings, with expectation in his eyes: "Conan, you and Miss Kudo should come too, I'd really like to hear your reasoning."

Conan was quick-witted and agreed before Kudo Yuki could, his face filled with excitement: "Yeah, okay."

Kudo Yuki looked down at her brother, her eyes full of questions: [What are you planning again?]

Conan pretended not to see it and walked in.

Officer Nakamori stared at Kaito Kid with suspicion, and suddenly put his hand on his shoulder, looking serious: "Hey, wait a minute."

"Ah?" A trace of uneasiness surged in Kaito Kid's heart.

"If you are at the crime scene with Kidd, there is an essential ritual."

"Could that ritual be..." Before Kaito Kidd could finish his words, Officer Nakamori grabbed his cheeks with both hands and pinched them. His expression was very serious, as if he was conducting an important test.

"It hurts! It hurts so much, Officer Nakamori." Kaito Kid let out a pig-slaughtering wail, and his facial features were twisted together.

Conan was so frightened by Officer Nakamori's action that he broke out in a sweat, grinning, and it looked painful. He was secretly glad that he was not mistaken for Kid.

Officer Nakamori still had a serious expression, trying to tell the truth from the false. "It seems you are not Kid in disguise."

Only then did he let go.

Kaito Kid rubbed his cheeks and muttered, "Wow, this really hurts."

In the guard room, Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran were staring at the images in the camera without blinking, afraid of missing any details.

"It's not Mr. Kidd!" Suzuki Sonoko was a little disappointed, and looked at Mao Lilan, gossiping: "By the way, Shinichi didn't contact Xiaolan at all, and came here by himself, right? Xiaolan, didn't you tell him that you were coming here?"

Mao Lilan had no choice but to smile and pass it over, but she knew clearly in her heart: "I think Shinichi has his own arrangements."

Suzuki Sonoko put on a serious face and advised: "I think you can get angry with him just because of this matter!"

Mao Lilan looked confused: "Huh?"

"If it were me, I would have been furious." Suzuki Sonoko began to immerse herself in the script in her mind, and the expression on her face kept changing with her imagination.

[The following is Suzuki Sonoko's imaginary plot:

Next, there is the scene where Kudo Shinichi and Mouri Ran quarrel.

"Why do I have to say hello to you, Xiaolan, first? You're not my wife." Suzuki Sonoko imitated Kudo Shinichi's tone with an exaggerated expression.

"what?"

"Stop arguing." Hakuba stood in front of Mao Lilan, his face full of concern.

Kudo Shinichi was jealous: "Who are you?"

Suzuki Sonoko stroked her cheeks with both hands, looking intoxicated: "This is how things will turn out."

Mao Lilan looked at her, helpless: "Sonoko?"

When Kudo Yuki heard Suzuki Sonoko's imaginative script, she couldn't help but twitch her lips. She subconsciously looked at Conan.

Conan was seen observing the scene intently.

Then, the four of them explored the scene, as if searching for clues hidden in the dark.

After the investigation, they slowly moved around the Blue Jade Throne. Yoshida Yotaro's body was lying quietly on the Blue Jade Throne, and the atmosphere at the scene became more solemn and depressing.

Hakuba lowered his head and looked at the lifeless Yoshida Yotaro.

After a long while, he looked up at everyone and said, "The on-site investigation has come to an end. Kudo, what points do you and your sister care about?"

There was a look of inquiry in Hakuba's eyes. After all, countless experiences in the past told him that the Kudo siblings could always find some key points that others could easily overlook.

Kaito Kidd did not answer but asked instead, with a slight smile on his face and raised an eyebrow, "How many do you have?"

Bai Matan held up three fingers: "Three."

Kaito Kidd immediately added: "I have three too."

As soon as the voice fell, Hakuba Sen, Kaito Kid and Conan all turned their eyes to Kudo Yuki. In their eyes, Kudo Yuki's past abilities were obvious to all, and now they all hoped to dig out some crucial clues from her to find a breakthrough in the case.

Kudo Yuki seemed to have not heard the conversation between the two at all. Her eyes were fixed on the bloodstains on the corners of the wall and the curtains. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she fell into deep thought.

The shape and location of the bloodstains seemed to be whispering to her the secret truth of the crime. Various possibilities kept flashing through her mind, trying to piece together these scattered clues bit by bit to restore the real scene of the crime.

When Kudo Yuki regained consciousness, she looked up and bumped into the expectant gazes of the three young men. She changed the subject: "In that case, you two should check your answers first."

Bai Ma heard it and strode towards the bloodstain in the corner, pointing his finger: "First of all, the bloodstains and bullet holes on the wall to the right of the door indicate that the victim was most likely shot here. But what is puzzling is why the murderer went to so much trouble to move the body to this blue jade throne?"

He leaned forward slightly and looked closely at Yoshida Yotaro's feet. "The second suspicious point is that there are some strange marks of unknown origin on the tips of the shoes of the remains."

Hakuba straightened up and looked at Kaito Kidd. "Are the above two points the same as what you noticed?"

"Yes, exactly the same."

"So what's your third point?"

Upon hearing this, Kaito Kidd's smile froze instantly, his eyes flickered, and he stammered, "Well, that..."

Seeing this, Kudo Yuki stepped sideways inconspicuously, blocking Hakuba's line of sight, and at the same time used her other hand to point casually at the bloodstain on the curtain.

Conan instantly understood his sister's intention, and hurriedly took out the bow voice changer, adjusted it to his own voice, then crouched down and hid behind Kaito Kid.

Kaito Kidd just needs to cooperate with Conan.

Kudo Yuki crossed her arms over her chest, leaned back slightly, and listened to the subsequent developments with interest.

Kaito Kidd raised his finger and pointed at the bloodstains on the curtain. "Look, on the curtain to the right of the body, the bloodstains that splattered were detected here. If this is the victim's blood, there is really no way to explain why it splashed here. This is my third question. Is it the same as yours?"

Bai Batan nodded slightly, then looked down at Conan and asked, "Conan, did you notice anything else special?"

Conan blinked, pretending to be cute and obedient: "My brothers and I thought the same thing, and I haven't found anything else for now."

Seeing that Hakuba Tan was about to turn his attention to her again, Kudo Yuki responded casually: "I'll tell you if I have other clues."

Conan covered his mouth with his hands while smiling. He gently pulled Kaito Kid's shirt with his little hands and whispered, "Hey, Shinichi-nii."

Kaito Kid looked down at Conan, squatted down, and moved closer to hear what Conan had to say.

Conan leaned close to his ear and whispered, "When I'm doing the deduction, I'll use the microphone that tracks the bow tie to transmit the sound to your ears. You mustn't say anything unnecessary."

Kaito Kid responded in the same manner: "Okay, okay, I know what's going on."

"By the way, why does your face look so much like mine?" Conan looked him up and down.

"How should I know? Maybe we have the same ancestor?" Kaito Kidd muttered to himself: [To be honest, I didn't even change my voice on purpose.]

After hearing what Kaito Kidd was thinking, Kudo Yuki raised her lips and a hint of mischief flashed through her eyes. She walked over to the two people who were still whispering and leaned over, "Actually, someone knows the answer to this question."

Upon hearing this, Conan and Kaito Kid raised their heads at the same time and looked at Kudo Yuki with curiosity, with countless little question marks in their eyes.

Kudo Yuki raised the corner of her mouth and jokingly said, "Didn't Kid give the answer?"

While Conan and Kaito Kid were still figuring out what Kudo Yuki meant, Suzuki Jirokichi and Officer Nakamori looked at the bloodstains on the curtains and started discussing.

"This bloodstain is indeed a bit strange."

"By the way, why do we need to install curtains here? Otherwise, the entire crime process can be seen clearly from outside."

"It wasn't installed at first, but someone complained that it was too scary to see outside directly, so it was installed."

"I see."

Baiba Tan pointed to the button next to the door and asked Suzuki Jirokichi, "Excuse me, is this the only button in the showroom?"

"Yes, there is only this one button in the showroom. Just press it to control the opening and closing of this door."

"Is that so?" Hakuba touched the door with one hand. "Then let's go to the other room to question them first. Minister Kase who knows the password to this door, Mr. Uechi, the secretary who received a note from the victim, President Yoshida, saying 'I will guard the jewel until the end' before the body was found, and the president's wife, Ms. Liang Yue. They may hold important clues."

After hearing this, everyone left from the exhibition hall exit.

Bai Batan looked at the siblings and Kaito Kidd, "You can also come and listen to the interrogation."

"Ah good."

"of course."

"no problem."

Ran Mouri stood not far away, looking at Kaito Kid, who was disguised as Kudo Shinichi, with suspicion.

Kudo Yuki noticed Mao Lilan's gaze, walked to her side, and whispered in her ear: "Xiaolan, that man is Kidd in disguise. Kidd asked Shinichi to help remove his suspicion of murder, so he came up with this method to catch the real criminal. You just need to not expose him before the case is solved. For now, you can temporarily treat him as Shinichi!"

Mao Lilan nodded slightly to show her understanding.

At this time, Shushu felt a little bored staying in Kudo Yuki's pocket, so he stuck out his little head to look at the lively scene outside.
