Conan's Almighty Extraction

Chapter 172 The Magician at the End of the Century (Prologue)

One night, the moon in the sky was stained with blood, exuding an ominous atmosphere.

In the dark and quiet old castle, a dark red coffin with intricate patterns carved on its surface was quietly placed there.

At the moment when the clock struck midnight, the lid of the coffin slowly opened with a 'creaking' sound, and a blond man in a black dress stepped out.

The blond man's skin was extremely fair without a trace of blood, and the two pointed teeth at the corners of his mouth undoubtedly showed the blond man's true identity—a vampire who woke up from a deep sleep.

The blond man came to the window sill of the old castle, took a deep breath as if intoxicated, and suddenly turned into an overwhelming bloody bat, flying to an unknown distance.

Not long after, one of the blood-colored bats landed on a balcony in the palace castle, and with a bang, it turned into a blond man in the blood-colored smoke. With a charming smile, he walked towards His Highness the Princess who was sleeping in the boudoir.
……

"Ayumi, hurry up and take a shower, it's time to go to bed." With Mrs. Yoshida's urging, the movie video that was playing at a critical moment stopped.

Ayumi pointed to the motionless vampire on TV, and begged: "Wait a minute, it's exciting now, mom, let me watch it for a while, okay?"

"No, don't you want to go swimming with your friends tomorrow?"

Mrs. Yoshida did not agree to Ayumi's request, and did not want Ayumi to affect tomorrow's travel plan because of watching movies.

"It's… okay."

Although Ayumi was somewhat reluctant, but thinking of going to the swimming pool with the Boy Detective Team tomorrow, she obediently went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then returned to the room to rest.

Before Ayumi entered the dreamland, she heard the sound of clothes hangers colliding from the balcony, and a human figure was reflected on the curtains of the bedroom. Ayumi was a little puzzled and got up to check the situation on the balcony.

When Ayumi opened the curtains and the glass door leading to the balcony, she found a handsome young man in a white dress and a white cloak behind him, resting on the railing of the balcony.

This iconic dress is naturally Kaitou Kidd, but Ayumi has never seen him, so she doesn't know his identity.

The mysterious aura exuding from Kaitou Kidd reminded Ayumi of the movie she just watched, and asked blankly, "Are you Mr. Vampire?"

After hearing Ayumi's question, Phantom Thief Kidd was also slightly taken aback, then jumped off the railing and came to Ayumi's side.

"Of course not, this beautiful lady, I'm just tired from flying, stop and rest for a while, this is just a magic."

Kaito Kid explained the reason for his appearance in a soft voice, while grabbing Ayumi's little hand, and gave a kiss on the back of the hand.

Just when Ayumi was about to say something, a strong light suddenly lit up behind Kaitou Kidd, and the searchlight of a helicopter shone from a distance.

At the same time, several police cars were parked under Ayumi's apartment. Kaito Kidd's old opponent Nakamori Ginzo walked out of them, looked up at Kaito Kid, and ordered through gritted teeth: "Everyone pay attention, this time Don't let this bastard get away, catch Kaitou Kidd quickly!"

"Oh, I'm chasing you again, so little girl, there will be a period later."

After hearing the noise made by the police, Kaito Kidd sighed helplessly, blocked the light that affected his sight with his left hand, and then jumped down from the balcony under Ayumi's surprised eyes, the cloak behind him turned into a triangle in mid-air The hang glider finally disappeared into the distant night sky.

……

A few days later, the Metropolitan Police Department held a special search meeting on Kaitou Kidd.

"Phantom Thief No. 1412, commonly known as Phantom Thief Kidd, committed a total of 134 crimes."

"15 of them are abroad, such as the United States, France, Germany, etc., with footprints in 12 countries."

"A total of 152 jewels were stolen, and the total amount of theft reached 387 billion yuan."

After the staff finished introducing Kaitou Kidd's information to many participants, Chaki Shintaro, the manager of the second search section of the Criminal Department of the Metropolitan Police Department who led the meeting, said with a somewhat ugly expression: "This Kaitou Kidd, A crime warning letter was sent yesterday!"

Speaking of this, a letter was projected on the screen in the conference hall, and there was also an iconic pattern in the lower right corner-Q version of Kaitou Kidd's head.

[The lion at dusk until the girl at dawn, there is no second clock to reach No.12, descend from the bright sky and castle, and accept the egg of memory—the magician at the end of the century. 】

After the police officers present and Mori Kogoro, who was invited to attend the meeting, read the content of the crime notice letter, Manager Chamu coughed lightly and said, "The egg of memory mentioned in the notice letter was found in the Suzuki Consortium last month. Found in the treasury, this is the secret treasure of the Tsar, that is, the Emperor's Easter Egg."

The assistant of the tea tree manager stood up, took out the materials and read out: "The treasure of the emperor's Easter egg was given to the empress by the Russian emperor on Easter. It was made by the gem maker Faberujie. According to records, it was created in 1885. From 1916 to [-], there were only fifty eggs in total, but the Emperor’s Easter egg discovered this time does not belong to one of the fifty.”

"The Emperor's Easter Egg will be exhibited at the upcoming Suzuki Art Museum in Osaka Castle Park from August 8, so what we have to do is to ensure its safety and not let Kaitou Kidd steal it This invaluable treasure."

After the Manager Chamu stated the main purpose of holding this meeting, he turned his attention to Ginzo Nakamori who was sitting across from him, and ordered: "Officer Nakamori, tell me about the content of the notice letter."

"Yes!"

Nakamori Ginzo stood up, walked to the center of the rostrum, and told everyone the information he had analyzed with a serious expression.

"First of all, [the lion at dusk until the maiden at dawn], the last day of Leo at dusk on August 8, until the dawn of the first day of Virgo, which represents the day of the crime;"

"Secondly, [the clock without seconds goes to the 12th word], I guess this represents the moment of committing the crime, but I haven't deciphered it yet;"

"Finally, [coming from the bright sky pavilion], the castle tower here, that is, Osaka Castle, represents the place where Kaitou Kidd appeared."

"All in all, the content of the preview is roughly - between the dusk of August 8nd and the dawn of the 22rd, Kaito Kidd will appear in the castle tower of Osaka Castle to snatch the Emperor's Easter Egg!"

"Everyone, with the prestige and pride of our police, we must arrest that Kaitou Kidd and put him in jail!"

Police officer Nakamori's exquisite analysis and big FLAG won a round of applause from the participants, as if they had been beaten with blood, they vigorously discussed the plan to capture the Kaitou Kidd.
