Gin's Tired Career

When the lights came back on, the jewel had disappeared, along with Suzuki Jirokichi and Kudo Shinichi.

The Kaitou Kidd was standing on the rooftop in his white clothes rustling as before, holding the priceless Maria sapphire with his slender fingers wearing white gloves.He held the jewel in his hand, aiming at the moon.The bright moonlight hit his handsome face through the crystal clear sapphire, but it was hard to hide the loss on his face.

Kudo Shinichi, who was standing five meters away from him, also sighed when he saw this, "Isn't it?"

"En." Kaito Kidd twitched the corners of his mouth, and quickly settled his mood, "I didn't expect much at first." He smiled at Kudo Shinichi, playing with gems in his hand, "The detective, It's time for routine puzzle solving!"

Kudo Shinichi rolled his eyes, "You didn't come up with the puzzle."

The Kaitou Kidd looked at him in surprise, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more obvious, "But I stole the gem! Detective, you haven't solved it, so you can only wait for me here!" He didn't expect Kudo to Shinichi was able to see that the notice letter was not written by him, what a surprise!

Kudo Shinichi choked, "Who hasn't figured it out?! You are pretending to be Uncle Suzuki to get close to the gem. As for the gem, with your skills, you can get it without traps. The protection mechanism set up by the American police for gems is comparable to that of Suzuki. Every time my uncle puts all his effort into designing it, it’s far from perfect.” Moreover, the American police are also skeptical about the information they said about Kidd the Phantom Thief, and it seems to them that it’s impossible for someone to be perfectly disguised as another person—— Unless it's a mutant.But then the case would not be theirs.

"How do you know that I have disguised myself as Uncle Suzuki?" Kaitou Kidd frowned slightly, "I didn't leave any flaws this time."

"There is indeed no flaw." Kudo Shinichi put one hand in his pocket, took two steps forward, and looked up at him, "It's a method of elimination. You definitely don't want the fairy lips thing to happen again, so there is a high probability that couples will It will not be within the scope of your disguise. You are actually very vigilant, and you will not easily act as someone you don’t understand. For the rest of the people, Li Shiliang has already been tricked once, and you also know that she is a girl. Uncle Suzuki is left. You are not stupid enough to really offend Mr. Stark!"

"Detective, why do I feel that you are a little angry today?" Kaitou Kidd asked in deliberation, "Is something wrong?"

"Is what happened to me related to you?" Kudo Shinichi said with a cold face, gnashing his teeth, "Anyway, the so-called detective is just a critic who follows behind the phantom thief, my artist."

Kaitou Kidd tilted his head slightly, jumped off the high platform on the edge of the roof, and landed one meter in front of Kudo Shinichi, with a smile on his face, "So, why is my Mr. Critic so angry?"

"Do you know where this is?" Kudo Shinichi glared at him fiercely, "If Mr. Stark is not so reasonable..."

"Okay——" Kidra the Phantom Thief raised his voice, "Did the reasonable Mr. Stark release the water on purpose at the strong request of a detective?"

Kudo Shinichi heard the faint dissatisfaction under Kaitou Kidd's elegant and magnetic voice, and suddenly got stuck, "Of course not!" He denied, "I'm a detective, how could I find someone to release water for you?!"

Kaitou Kidd narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was judging whether he was telling the truth, "Hmm! Then how is he reasonable?"

Kudo Shinichi asked, "Isn't it reasonable that he didn't dispatch a superhero to catch you?"

Kaitou Kidd looked at him dubiously, "Are you angry because you are afraid that I will be caught?"

Kudo Shinichi corrected him rigorously: "I am afraid that you will be caught by others."

Kaitou Kidd grumbled and complained: "You detectives really want to win..."

Kudo Shinichi raised his voice slightly, "These?"

The Kaitou Kidd looked up at him casually, "Who else is there, that fake foreign devil...be careful!" His expression changed, and he threw Kudou Shinichi to the ground.The two rolled twice with their strength, and hid in the shadow of the roof.

Kudo Shinichi looked at the bullet that hit the ground, and asked Kaitou Kidd at the same time, "Who did you provoke again?"

The two of them looked at each other and replied in unison: "I just came to the United States."

Kudo Shinichi asked, "Have you ever been hunted down before?"

Kaitou Kidd hesitated, "But you were targeted just now!"

After finishing speaking, Phantom Thief Kidd coughed twice in embarrassment, "Detective, let me go first."

Kudo Shinichi said coldly: "Then let you smash the gun and run away?" He took a deep breath, "This is not Japan, there are snipers on the other side..." He took out something from his pocket Stuffed it into Kaito Kidd's pocket.

Kaito Kidd frowned, "Kudou."

Kudo Shinichi said sternly, "Kidd, I have a very bad feeling." He took out his trump card, "Even if you disagree, I will investigate it myself."

Kaitou Kidd looked at him deeply, and nodded slowly.In fact, he is also the same. Taking this notice letter as an example, the notice letters issued by someone pretending to be him can be seen to be more or less strange, but this time the fake notice letter, even Kaitou Kidd himself can’t see it. flaw.

In the bright moonlight, the peepers in the shadows have always existed and never disappeared.

Downstairs, in the restored lighting hall, Police Department Charlie led the policemen busy.

Tony Stark stood next to the gem display case with his arms folded, his lips pressed together.Steve Rogers was standing next to him.

"The source of the gunshots was not found." Police Department Charlie frowned, "Only found Mr. Suzuki who was unconscious in the bathroom."

Suzuki Jirokichi, who had already woken up, was talking passionately to Suzuki Sonoko's group of friends, looking full of energy, not at all like being in a coma just now.

"A policeman was injured," Police Department Charlie looked at Steve Rogers gratefully. "Thanks to you pulling him at a critical moment, otherwise it might not be as simple as being injured."

Steve Rogers nodded, accepting his thanks.At that time, relying on his intuition and keen ears on the battlefield, he felt the bullets coming through the air, and he subconsciously saved the policeman.

Perhaps seeing the three of them standing together, the group of people also moved to the two of them and greeted them.

Afterwards, Detective Baima said solemnly: "This incident was not written by Kidd. Kidd never hurt anyone! And he doesn't use a gun. Anyone who knows him knows this!"

Suzuki Jirokichi nodded in agreement. Although he wanted to catch Kidd wholeheartedly, he also admired this opponent, "Kaitou Kidd always only seeks money, not kills."

Suzuki Sonoko quickly nodded in agreement, clenched her fists tightly, and said with righteous indignation: "Someone must have framed Lord Kidd again!"

Tony Stark watched with great interest the group of people who were confidently exonerating the thief. They obviously believed so sincerely, and no one thought that it was Kaitou Kidd who killed the thief.

Steve Rogers frowned, looking at them suspiciously.

Police Department Charlie nodded to them, "I think so too." He explained to Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, "I have fought against Kidd before, and I don't think he is a person who will kill. "

Baima Tan breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't think Kidd did it either," Hattori Heiji said.

Sera Masumi blinked, looked around, and asked suspiciously, "Kudou hasn't come back this time?"

"Could it be an accident..."

"Kudou-kun!" Baima Tan's voice interrupted the bad speculation, he looked up and looked in one direction across the crowd.

Kudo Shinichi was coming from that direction.He walked into the crowd, took out the Maria sapphire from his coat pocket, and handed it to Tony Stark, "Mr. Stark, your gem."

"Thank you." Tony Stark raised his eyebrows in surprise, "How did you get it back?"

Kudo Shinichi said succinctly: "This is not the gem he was looking for." After speaking, he asked, "What happened?"

Charlie Police Department said with a serious face: "A police officer was shot and wounded."

Kudo Shinichi said without hesitation: "It can't be Kaitou Kidd!"

"Ah..." Tony Stark couldn't hold back, and smiled, "I've heard this sentence many times just now."

Kudo Shin was speechless, he looked at the others and scratched his head.

Tony Stark asked slowly: "I'm curious, what makes you maintain such... confidence in a criminal?"

The others looked at each other, and Kudo New Generation answered in conclusion: "It may be contradictory to say this. I don't deny that Kidd is a criminal, but I also think he is a good person."

"What do you think?" Akai Shuichi asked.

Gin took his eyes away from Edogawa Ranpo, and made a confused nasal sound, "Huh?"

Akai Shuichi shook his head helplessly, "If you are really not interested, you don't have to come."

Gin is not interested in Kaitou Kidd, but is interested in Edogawa Ranpo.He glanced at the group of people in the middle of the hall, "What's the situation now?"

Akai Shuichi shrugged, "Investigating."

Kudo Shinichi broke away from the crowd, walked to Edogawa Ranpo, and said something in a low voice.

Edogawa opened his eyes randomly, and a cold light flashed in his green eyes, "So that's it." He returned to his usual state of not caring about anything except sweets, "I see."

Kudo Shinichi asked excitedly: "Ranpo-san, do you already have the answer?" He has seen Edogawa Ranpo's super reasoning, although he will be frustrated after listening to it, but he can learn something new every time .

Others were attracted by Kudo Shinichi's words.

"Really?" Police Charlie looked at Poe for proof. Ranpo Edogawa is not well-known in the United States, but Poe is well-known in Europe and the United States—although he is a reasoner rather than a detective. famous.

Unlike Kudo Shinichi, the other detectives saw Edogawa Ranpo for the first time to reason.They looked at him curiously, knowing that Kudo Shinichi just said a few words to him, how could they find the truth from such limited information?

Edogawa Ranpo said: "Poe, you should know it too!"

Surrounded by everyone's eyes, Poe hugged his little raccoon and whispered, "Yes, yes, Luanbu-sang, we know it."

Facing the eyes of everyone seeking knowledge, Edogawa Ranpo said impatiently: "Isn't it obvious, that policeman is just a cover, and what he really wants is Kaitou Kidd's life!"
