[Comprehensive] Phantom Thief · Phantom Thief

No matter how entangled Kaito's black line is, in short, the first day of the maiden voyage ceremony of the Hestier Goddess came to an end without incident.

As for Kuai Dou, he doesn't think much about it anymore - no matter how much he struggles, the oolong incident has already happened, and his current thoughts can't really change the established facts.

Besides, it's better not to be dead than to be dead.If there really was a serial murder on the Hestier Goddess, it would be a serious criminal issue!The police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department and the ship who were in charge of the various monster thieves were worried that they had no excuse to send people on board. Once this murder happened, wouldn't it be a ready-made reason to send them to the door?

Thinking of this, Kaito felt relieved.

Seeing that the time is almost past midnight, and there is still a big task to be completed tomorrow, Kaito put aside all kinds of complicated thoughts, yawned and obediently returned under Loki's helpless and smiling gaze. Went to sleep in the room - the art exhibition will be officially launched tomorrow morning, and he still has to check the spots in advance.

Speaking of it, Xiaoling seems to have mentioned that some new anti-theft equipment produced by the Meizhishan family's research institute will be used in the security process this time?

I really don't know if this can bring them a little "surprise".

Before drifting off into sleep gradually, Kaito thought so in a daze.

※※※

The next day, morning.

Kaito didn't get up too early that day, but since there were many people who slept late than him last night, when he and Loki came to the luxury cabin on the first floor of the Hestier Goddess When I was in the restaurant, looking around, the huge restaurant was not full of customers, but there were a few small groups scattered in every corner, which really gave people a strange feeling of "three or two kittens" illusion……

"The nightlife of the rich is indeed indulgent and corrupt."

Shaking his head, Kaito commented in a serious manner, took Loki to find a slightly remote corner and sat down, ordered the meal under the service of the waiter, and waited for the meal to be delivered to the table , while quietly watching the sparkling calm sea outside the ship through the floor-to-ceiling windows not far away...

"This scenery is really nice." Squinting his eyes, he was a little dizzy from the light reflected from the water, Kaito turned his head, looking at the blond young man opposite him, there was a trace of undetectable worry in his eyes : "Loki, are you really okay?"

Last night, Loki's behavior was too normal and calm. In addition, the two of them were inside the hull at that time, and they did not have a completely unobstructed view of the sea as they are now, so Kaito is not sure about Loki. Did he really overcome his weakness of fear of water in his divinity, or did he act so calmly because he didn't see it with his own eyes?

The blond god smiled softly at Kaito's concerned gaze.

"I'm really not afraid of water anymore." As he said that, he leaned over as if he wanted to prove this to Kaito, getting closer to the window and Kaito: "Kaito don't forget Oh, what did I go back to the God Realm for..."

--indeed.

Apart from himself, probably only Kaito and the three children of Loki's family know what Loki is going to do when he returns to the God Realm.

Some of the secrets of the God Realm involved in this are probably not clear even to the Frey brothers and sisters, Heimdall and Thor who survived this incident.

Thinking of this, Kaito temporarily felt relieved.

However, "I wonder if there will be any sequelae? Don't just ignore everything because you are a god. It is always right to be careful."

This is also what Pirate One often said when teaching Kaito magic tricks.

Loki naturally nodded in response to this—after all, Kaito was concerned about him.

The two had breakfast together in an extremely harmonious atmosphere. During this period, Kaidou and Xiaoling exchanged several emails to confirm some issues related to the new police facilities.

"Laser light or something... this is too sci-fi ==" At the end of the email, Kaito's entire face was covered with the word "囧".

I heard from Xiaoling that this time lasers are installed in every corner of the exhibition hall, and there will be no guards in the exhibition hall. On the contrary, several exits outside the hall should be kept tight. The announced works of art will be sealed in an anti-laser special transparent protective cover in the afternoon to ensure that the ray attacks from all the laser emitters in the entire room will not damage the art itself...

"Couldn't this be too cruel, we're just a group of thieves with mortal bodies, okay?" Kaidou really wanted to knock open the skull of his father's head to see what his brain circuit was like. How long, he can understand that the Meizhishan family attaches great importance to the incident of the three great thieves collectively issuing warning signs, but to this extent...

Is it amazing to be rich? !

To actually use such a cruel tool as a laser laser weapon, are all the ministers of the Japanese Ministry of Defense dead!When will this military technology be available for civilian use?The Meizhishan family is sincere and does not explain it!

With a face full of embarrassment, if Kaito hadn't been pulled by Loki, he wouldn't have known where he had gone in his mind-wandering at this time.

Kaito came back to his senses when he arrived at the entrance of the exhibition hall. Facing Loki's teasing eyes, Kaito curled his lips indifferently. Kaito said that it wasn't that he was not calm. Listen to DARK, presumably their reaction will not be any better than his.

Phantom thieves and magicians do have very similar personality traits in some aspects, such as narcissism, love of pomp, and... Sao Bao ==

But just like the prudence and assiduity of the magicians, behind every seemingly magnificent and bold action of the phantom thieves, there is also a very precise and meticulous plan.

Bold and careful, isn't that what they are talking about?

So this time, when I met the Meizhishan family, this can be regarded as a bottom-of-the-box laser defense method. I believe that even DARK, who is the most unscrupulous among the three groups because of his magic, has to weigh it to see if he has it. Have the assurance of getting out of the body.

"It seems that the plan has to be revised again..." Sighing helplessly, Kaito collected his mood, put on a flawless and perfect expression, and walked into the exhibition hall hand in hand with Loki—

In short, let's make enough preliminary preparations such as terrain observation first...

※※※

Sure enough, as Kaito expected, when he announced the news about laser weapons in the chat room with Xiaoling during lunch, the whole chat room was shaken!

Basteto III: Laser lasers? !real or fake?The power behind the owner of this ship is too powerful, right?

Black Wing Daisuki: Speaking of which... I encountered this laser once in a previous operation. Although there was only one such weapon at the time, it really almost made me lose my mind...

1412: That's why we said we won the jackpot this time. According to the information collected by Xiaoqian, the lasers in the exhibition hall tonight are not one, but six, [six] [sets]!

Basteto No. 1412: [-] You really don't allow it to be emphasized in bold

Listen to my mother's words: So what should everyone do now?The plan must be revised, right?

Daisuki Black Wing: Of course, but speaking of it... I have a suggestion.

1412: Huh?Seniors already have an idea?

Black Wing Daisuki: It's just an idea, and... there might be a danger of exposing the alliance's existence.

Their alliance has just been established, and although the phantom thieves don't care if the police detect the existence of the alliance, they are still a little particular about the timing - no matter what, the alliance must be stronger, more companions should be added, and the cooperation should be finer. After a little familiarity and tacit understanding, it's good to be in front of people again.

Because by that time, they will not care about any joint police operations against the alliance.

1412: Everything depends on the safety and success of tonight's operation. As for the exposure of the alliance... if you act carefully, there should be no problem.

The key is that Conan should not get mixed up in the security work tonight. Without him, Kaito's pressure will be greatly reduced!

So several people discussed Dark's opinion again, and when the final decision was made, the time of the announcement was already very close...

"hope everything is fine."

Turning his head to glance at the setting sun outside the window, Kaito patted his cheek——

Take action, start!

※※※

It's night, late, eight o'clock.

There is still an hour before the nine o'clock forecast of Kaitou Kidd, Kaitou DARK and Maoyan, but the Hestier Goddess has entered a state of full alert at this time.

Bars, dance halls, casinos and various entertainment rooms will not be affected, but all passages leading to the art exhibition hall on the third floor have entered a state of martial law, and no unrelated people are allowed to pass through.

Although many high-level people have expressed their interest in this incident, it is related to the interests and face of the Meizhishan family and the two art owners who have been declared as the targets of the monster robbers. Lost the effect.

Many people waved their sleeves and left angrily under the attitude of the guards not to enter, but more people gathered in the bar and entertainment room closest to the art exhibition hall, waiting to get the first prize after the strange thieves appeared. Consultation from hands——As Kaito said, these rich people really have too much time...

Eight-twenty.

The members of the Phantom Thieves Alliance confirmed by email that the anti-monitoring jammers that had been scattered in large quantities at the banquet had worked.

"Call Kidd, call Kidd, how about it? The jammer provided by this lady is of first-class quality, right?"

The youngest of the three sisters, Little Princess Ai, came from the headset with her lively and brisk voice, and Kaidou couldn't help pursing his lips and chuckling when he heard that—to say, Xiao Ai has really achieved success this time.

This jammer is actually just a gadget that this lady made casually in her spare time. She didn't expect it to be of much use, but under Xiao Ai's sudden inspiration, it became the most useful thing in their trip. One of the useful tools.

Taking advantage of the dinner party held last night, the three sisters carried the small jammers through the crowd in the hall, skillfully stuck the jammers to every guest present, and waited until the banquet ended at midnight. , the jammers automatically fall off the guests when they go back to the room, and the small jammers are spread all over the Hestier Goddess. Even the cleaning crew didn't find them in time.

So now, the jammers all played a role at the moment Xiao Ai activated the switch on the hand, allowing the members of the Phantom Thieves Alliance to use the radio to communicate without any pressure when the ship was full of monitoring equipment...

"It's really thanks to the third sister this time, go back and ask the eldest sister to give you a great credit!" Kuai Dou responded to Xiao Ai with a smile, then changed his tone, and instantly became serious: "Then, everything will go according to the original plan, Xiaoqian The entrances of the ventilation holes provided deliberately avoid the monitors, and finally the three groups of us can meet on the ceiling of the exhibition hall, check our respective props, and see you in half an hour."

"See you in half an hour~"

"See you in half an hour."

Xiao Ai and DARK, who were responsible for the communication at Maoyan, responded together, and then the three parties turned off their communicators—they encountered different situations during the operation, which inevitably affected each other. They agreed not to open the communicators after they split up.

The vent that Kaito was going to enter was across from his and Loki's room.

It has been confirmed by Xiaoai before that the owner of the room is not in the room at the moment.

Nodding to Loki, seeing the blond male god standing next to him gradually disappear, knowing that the other party wanted to completely disappear, Kaito, who was following him, pressed the brim of his white top hat, and gently opened the room The door, it took less than a second to skillfully unlock the door lock of the opposite room, a white figure flashed, and the corridor was empty again.

The ventilation hole is on the side of the chandelier directly above the living room. Quickly climbed up to the chandelier, unscrewed the screws around the ventilation hole, and was about to sneak into it, but suddenly there was a movement in his ear...

Outside the door, from across the corner not far from the corridor, came two middle-aged men who had a good conversation...

Kaito paused, a string of exquisite tassels hanging on the chandelier suddenly trembled, then slowly fell under Kaito's awkward gaze, and fell into the two glasses of chilled whiskey placed facing each other below. in a wine glass.

Kaito sighed helplessly, feeling that the person outside the door was getting closer, he could almost hear the sound of the room card being pulled out clearly in his ears, the white-clothed phantom thief landed lightly, took another empty wine glass to join From just the right amount of crushed ice to taking an obviously opened bottle of whiskey from the bar, pouring it into a glass and swapping it with the glass that fell into the tassel, and finally picking up the ruined glass and climbing The chandelier rushes into the ventilation hole, this series of actions is almost done in one go, full of a strange sense of rhythm, making Loki, who is invisible and following beside him, feel refreshed for a while...

And when Kaito reinstalled the hole cover in the ventilation hole, the door was also slammed open, and two people walked in one after the other.

At this time, Kaito has no time to pay attention to the owner of the room and his guests, so he casually throws the glass of scrapped whiskey into a certain garbage disposal exit, Kaito quickly turns around and follows the previously planned route start crawling...

When the three phantom thieves finally got together on the ceiling above the exhibition hall, the time had passed 10:[-], and [-] minutes later, it was the time they announced in advance.

Kaito, Dark and Hitomi, the second sister among the three sisters in charge of the action, exchanged glances, reconfirmed the previous plan with their eyes, and quietly hibernated in the pipeline together, quietly waiting for the arrival of nine o'clock.

And outside the gate of the exhibition hall that Kaito didn't notice, a young gentleman in a blue suit and red bow tie hiding behind a potted plant is also raising his watch, quietly counting down the time...

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two... one!

With a sound of "Boom!", accompanied by a burst of pink smoke, there was a loud noise from the monitors installed in every corner of the exhibition hall!

With the disappearance of the pink mist, three figures appeared next to the display cabinet where Sanyo's art works were sealed, and the most conspicuous white-clothed monster in the middle was arrogantly facing the monitor facing him, with his thin lips slightly parted. , loudly announcing his arrival——

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening! Welcome...to our magic venue!"

As soon as the voice fell, another burst of pink mist rose. The guards responsible for monitoring and activating laser weapons at any time had no time to react. The three showcases that died in the exhibition hall, all... disappeared from the monitor screen in front of them, and there was still some participating pink mist floating in the empty exhibition hall, as if they were conveying some information, as if...

They are silently mocking their "complete defense"!

"Damn! Where are the thieves and our exhibits?!"

In the death-like silence, the voice of the captain of the guard gnashed his teeth. While breaking the embarrassing silence like a curse, he also asked the doubts of everyone present——

Yes, the phantom thieves and the exhibits...where are they?
