Reason told Kaito Kuroba that the most important thing he should do now is to take advantage of the smoke/fog/bombs to disperse and leave before the casino is completely blocked.

But his feelings made him confirm the result of the first shot!He leaned down against the wall to where the bullet landed, and touched a body that was still warm.

It was the croupier, and a bullet went through the back of his head, killing him with a single shot.And the No. 13 security guard who shot at him only let out a muffled grunt after a few shots when the Sanming Police Department broke into the door, and there was no more sound.

At this moment, the words that the croupier himself said, "There is no possibility of repentance in this casino, it is the same for everyone" jumped into Kaito Kuroba's mind... Really, for anyone Everyone is treated equally.If you want to break the rules, you have to die.

Kaito Kuroba gritted his teeth, and fired the poker gun hidden in his clothes towards the surroundings of the room. One of the pokers successfully destroyed the signal jammer, "Kidd! Hey, Kidd!" With the release of the signal jammer, the spare Edogawa Conan's voice came back from the earphones.

Kaito Kuroba didn't have time to explain, and the sound of the remaining poker being inserted into the wall attracted the Sanming Police Department. The room was full of smoke, and the Sanming Police Department covered his mouth and nose with one hand and shot in that direction again!The chaotic gunshots became a signal, Edogawa Conan did not hesitate, and decisively pressed a button, the power distribution room on the ground of the casino was disconnected, and the whole casino was suddenly plunged into darkness!

The sudden plunge into the darkness caught Sanming by surprise. He wasn't sure if anyone else was alive in this room, so he had to choose to hide behind the bunker first, while Kaito Kuroba took the opportunity to rush out from the door.

The casino's backup power was quickly activated, apparently designed with the possibility of an attack on the power distribution room, and the darkness lasted less than a minute before the lights came back on.

But they are also prepared for this. If they want to invade, they must also consider the retreat plan, so PlanB was activated-thick smoke suddenly appeared under several tables full of poker chips, and someone yelled "Fire" It's gone!" This completely caused panic among the guests, they screamed and began to run away, not forgetting to pick up a lot of chips and stuff them in their arms.

The basement floor fell into a new round of chaos, and the disguised bar on the ground was not much better. Four police cars with lights on surrounded the bar, saying that someone reported that they were conducting illegal transactions, and the person in charge was pretending to be calm. Deal with them carefully, otherwise, he would not let the chaos of the casino go.

Kaito Kuroba blended in with the crowd, took off part of his disguise on the way out with the flow of people, and when he left through the specially set up back door of the casino, he had changed from a middle-aged wealthy businessman in a suit to a boy in a black cap , but this escape did not bring him any sense of accomplishment.

"Detective, the croupier is dead. He is not a professor, but a substitute. The person who killed him was the No. 13 bodyguard who was left behind by the professor. But the No. 13 bodyguard is now also killed by the Sanming Police Department, and the clues are broken. Already." He tried to keep his voice as normal as possible without gritting his teeth.

"...I know. I just wanted to expose this point, but he took the first step...Damn it!" Edogawa Conan grabbed his hair a little bit harder, knowing that it would be useless to say anything now, calm down After he got down, he was more concerned about the retreat of his temporary companion, "Kidd, can you escape smoothly? The route has been cleared."

Hearing the words, Kaito Kuroba also recalled the follow-up that he had just arranged like clouds and flowing water. The timing of each step was just right. If you were faster, the timing would overlap and waste a few seconds. It is not so easy for Toku to retreat smoothly... As an enemy, Kudo Shinichi is an extremely troublesome "Demon of Light", but as a companion, he is unbelievably reliable, and he has a tacit understanding than Terai, whom he has always cooperated with.

Thinking of this, Kaito Kuroba felt relieved when he saw the death of the dealer, and he could still say, "Detective, why are you so proficient?"

"... You still have time to say this, it seems that you are really fine."

Kaito Kuroba sat down on a swing in a park, raised his face to the night sky above his head, "I was completely sure that he was not a professor when he violated the rules he set. Now that I think about it, the person who made the rules should It's the professor, that's why he violated it casually... Wait, that's why he wants to break the rules, he doesn't want to live under the professor's control all the time, he wants to establish a brand new rule that belongs to him."

"However, I only realized it after he revealed his true face. After he cut off the communication between me and you, he should also cut off the contact with the professor. But how did you judge?"

"...There are actually many strange things about his reaction. He was just listening to the professor's instructions through the hidden earphones, and then performed. Although he was trying to respond to what he said, there were many flaws." He has also used the method in cooperation with Hattori Heiji, so he is very aware of the drawbacks. The most important thing is that Hattori Heiji and him know each other well enough, but the dealer can only perform the "shape" of the professor without meaning. The detective's interpretation of this performance is a big problem.

Edogawa Conan looked at the paused picture on the screen and was a little dazed, "And... you should have noticed that there are many imitations of famous paintings hanging in the room, one of which is Raphael's."

With Kuroba Kaito's excellent memory, he immediately understood which painting he was talking about, ""Portrait of a Young Woman Holding a Unicorn". What's wrong with this painting?"

"I got the previous video of that room. Before today, there were Da Vinci's Mona Lisa hanging in that place."

"...I probably understand. The portrait was created by Raphael by borrowing from Da Vinci, but no one can say that Raphael is inferior to Da Vinci." Kaito Kuroba pressed his temple, "Put on this painting, The croupier wants to express that he is as good as the professor. He has been acting as the mouthpiece of the professor for a long time, so much so that the workers in the casino regard him as a professor...even he himself thinks he can do it .”

"Maybe so, but I'm more inclined to another possibility. If the professor instructed him to do this, after understanding the background, he might also happily agree, which means that his ability has also been recognized by the professor.  … ...and the professor's reason for doing this is also very simple, this is a hint he left for us on purpose."

But whatever it is, now that the dealer is dead, and he's likely to be passed for the professor himself... a huge feat for the police, it's strange they don't publicize it.This case ends here, and no one will pursue it any further, except them.

The two were silent for a while, and Kaito Kuroba spoke first, "Then, Detective, what do you think of the Sanming Police Department? Is he trying to erase his crimes for someone?"

"...Maybe. But it's easy to leave an obvious handle in this way. I don't think people in higher positions will make such a rough design." Edogawa Conan paused, "The professor likes to leave behind details. Next reminder. Remember 13? It’s like the bodyguard No. 13 betrayed the croupier, maybe the only difference among the 13 people is not you, but him.”

There is definitely a big problem for San Ming who appeared there alone without other police officers. It can be basically concluded that he was sent by the people who had appeared in that room in order to eliminate the evidence of their dealings with the professor.He may belong to the Metropolitan Police Department or even the government, but it is more likely to belong to... the organization behind Belmode.

Edogawa Conan has always been suspicious of members of the black organization in the Metropolitan Police Department, so the identity of the police does not mean anything.

Sure enough, the next day, they saw related news on TV.The leader of the secret organization "Professor" was shot dead by the police, and all the cases he had been involved in were announced, but the public opinion did not overwhelmingly revil the criminals, but instead caused a lot of dissatisfaction.

Japan is a country where it is difficult to impose the death penalty. Only 17 cases have been executed in the past 84 years. More prisoners will spend their lives in prison.Therefore, when the cases planned by the professor were announced, the cases committed by the deceased were also announced. Serial murder cases, hit-and-run cases, etc., after being widely publicized by the media, further aroused the anger of a large number of people.

The reason for their anger is also very simple. Even if those criminals are arrested, they will almost never be executed. After they are released from prison, they can continue to enjoy their own lives, but those whose lives have been ruined by them will never have the opportunity to face the future. ...It is even considered a righteous act in the eyes of many people to make them disappear.

Even if it wasn't justice, the professor who planned these cases should have just been arrested instead of being shot by a police department, and dissatisfied people launched a protest for this.Of course, it is impossible for the government to respond to this, and it can only wait for the incident to subside. The 13 people who had received the "invitation letter" were also forced to disband, and they were asked not to mention related matters.

The memory of the Internet is short-lived, people's anger will disappear within five days, but this time the case seems to intensify, more and more people worship the "professor" who no longer exists in their eyes , some even tried to attack the prison.

Edogawa Conan does not think that the professor is a person who likes to be regarded as righteous by others. He will only admit his own evil frankly. In this case, why did he do this?The answer to this question has not only involved curiosity, but will also determine when the information in his hand should be handed over.

The host of the casino destroyed all the data that night, and it cannot be recovered, and the only backup is in his hands.Since he has even calculated that the information will fall into his hands, the professor must have considered the consequences of doing so. If he does not want his own actions to become his assistance again, he must deduce the professor's purpose and use this to calculate the result. lead in the opposite direction.

So, what is he up to?Is this just to blur the order and make people deny the order?There must be some deeper purpose... Damn, there are still too few clues!Edogawa Conan painfully put down his mobile phone, which was densely packed with recent news, and dropped it on the table.

The whispered conversation between Ayumi Yoshida and Aihara came from not far away, "Xiao Ai, my parents will work overtime until late today, can I go to the doctor's house with you?"

"Well, whatever you want. But why do you think so suddenly today? Don't they often work overtime."

Yoshida Ayumi leaned into Haibara Ai's ear with some embarrassment, "Well, because I heard that I saw a lot of strange things on the streets at night recently, I always feel so scary when I'm alone at home..."

Haibara Ai turned his face to look at Edogawa Conan who posted it at some time, but the latter looked at Ayumi Yoshida, "What is the strange thing?"

Haibara raised his eyebrows sadly, "Some people are busy paying attention to social news all day long, but they don't care about urban legends."

"Urban... legend?"

The author says:

Do you still remember the person who ordered the godfather wine a few chapters ago?He wanted more power, so the professor gave it to him.The professor speaks instructions through the headset, and he performs by himself. Many people think he is the professor, and he is happy to do so, and wants to further replace the professor.The result is ummm.

I will really be laughed to death by you..."Because the elderly can't stand for a long time", so I can see that the dealer is not a professor hahahaha, professor: are you polite?

Finally, I would like to say sorry to everyone, I may be late recently, and my body is getting thinner and thinner due to overtime work _(:з」∠)_I have to be a volunteer tomorrow, there should be no update...
