The waistcoat jumps sideways, please Ke Xue stay away from me!

After a few days, I still didn’t see the invitation letter sent to my company.

Langster looked through the newspapers of the past few days in confusion. There were no invitations sent to other places?

Is it that the unique gem is no longer attractive or... wait, it seems that it is because it is too low-key and no one knows what will happen to it?

Later, the news that Longster owned the world's rarest gemstones was accidentally leaked.

I don’t know if it’s because the schedule is too busy or it’s not good for a high school student to skip classes every day... but fortunately, Kaito Kid accepted it this time.

【I will...】

Langster took a quick look at it and put it aside. Thank you. Using his brain to solve a riddle written entirely in katakana was not his strong point.

Anyway, as long as I stay at the scene, I can even hide. Kaito Kid will come back after reading it... It's okay if he doesn't want to come back.

Langster sat leisurely on the top floor of a newly built company building that he had only visited a few times, waiting for the police to call and ask if he needed support and then say no.

I didn’t call until I was tired of sitting... Oh, it seems the company’s public phone is not open to the public online.

Shortly after uploading the company phone number, a call came in.

"This is the Japanese Public Security Bureau. May I ask where this is... um..."

Langster thought about it and didn't release his name.

So he just nodded.

"Longst Company."

“Do you need to be alert…”

"I do not need it, thank you."

Langster hung up the phone gracefully.

The other party seemed a little bit incredulous and called again, but Langst gave the same answer... In the end, the police and Langst reached an agreement that the police would surround the area.

There’s a human wall...then Kaito Kidd will probably change his clothes and come in, right?

Anyway, I just need to brush up some origin, or do something to stop Kaito Kidd or something like that...it's just for the sake of my intention.

Langster casually threw the gem into the fish tank.

Hmm... this red one matches these golden fish monsters.

Then I just lie down on the small sofa comfortably ~ comfortable, waiting for the origin.

I haven't been lying so comfortably for a long time... I can also enjoy the fish tank that comes standard in the office. The large French windows have a good view of the scenery outside. Opposite here is the iconic tower, which is wonderful.

……

That night…

Qingzhu Youyang, who couldn't put on his Langster coat on the small sofa, felt confused. He felt sleepy and confused.

Haven’t you come yet…?

In a trance, he picked up the notice and tried to analyze it...

What does this sentence mean? Is it consistent with gemstones? This is the only sentence I can understand in the whole article...

He stared at the sparkling gems in the water and thought for a while, red...either at dusk or in the morning when the sun just rose.

Dusk has passed, and that means morning...almost.

Thinking of this, he put the mask on his face, closed his eyes and waited quietly.

I thought I could get some sleep, after all, there was no movement from the police outside.

But this time...

"No no no, Kaito Kidd has come in."

A very familiar voice sounded. This seems to be... Kudo Shinichi?

?

The voice of Kudo Shinichi's analysis came from the eavesdropping device in a distant building.

The voice was intermittent, probably because he was talking while walking.

But in the end the sound did not disappear... because there was some noise coming from the pipe on the roof.

Then the door opened and the white Kaito Kidd appeared.

"...?"

The two looked at each other, and Langster's eyes were full of confusion.

This guy sent out a very accurate notice, did he misinterpret it? It's too early.

"How did you get in?"

"secret."

"Misunderstood. If we just follow the conventional path, the detective can do it."

Needless to say, Kudo Shinichi should be on his way.

Kaito Kid glanced around the office calmly.

"Are you looking for gems?" Langster stretched out his hand towards the door, but Kaito Kidd didn't seem to get it.

"Don't worry, I'm just a harmless magician... I just wanted to meet Kaito Kidd because I had nothing better to do. There are no traps along the way, and no one is stopping the audience."

Langster's right hand passed over his head, and then the person who was standing just now appeared sitting on the sofa.

"Indeed." Kaito Kidd snapped his fingers.

"I don't know what your purpose is, but I'll take the gems this time..." Kaito Kidd saw the gems in the water and the fish next to them. "...get it."

Langster waited for the other party to take the gem and go through the process, but the other party was motionless, as if the phone was turned off.

"?"

Is there a problem? Or has it been taken away by now... No, the one in the fish tank is real, so...

Eliminating other impossibilities, no matter how outrageous the final answer is, it is still the truth.

This kid... isn't he afraid of fish? Qingzhu Youyang looked at the other person's stiff back strangely.

If he doesn't move, does he intend to remain in a stalemate with the fish?

With a mouth wide open, you are afraid that the fish at your mouth will turn into:

"…Are you afraid of water?"

After all, people of this age should... be very concerned about their reputation.

Kaito Kid didn't say anything, but from this angle you could see the corners of his mouth twitching because of his endurance.

"..."

He couldn't bear to watch it any longer, as the detective police would be here soon. Langster "transformed" the gem in the water into his hand.

Kaito Kidd, who has been talking to the fish and staring at the gem: Eh?

Langster played with the gem in his hands, and the moonlight coming through the floor-to-ceiling window behind him was particularly eye-catching.

"Catch it." Langster threw the gem out.

It's true that Kaito Kidd caught the gem with his afterimage.

"...Nothing comes for free, so, magician, what are your conditions?"

"Well...tell me why you're looking for gems?"

"…No comment." Kaito Kid threw the gem back.

"Your goal has been achieved. Don't think I don't know—" The other party just raised the gem a little higher, and after taking a look at it, he lost interest in it.

Looking at gems in the moonlight? Oh... I remember, I used to do that. This is why I went back.

"Are you looking for something?" Langster looked at the gem in his hand. It was very ordinary and very beautiful.

"Very ordinary... You are looking for a special gem, or... a gem with something inside? Besides, you are looking for something inside, and the way to identify it is to look at it in the moonlight."

"So what is the name of this thing? If you don't tell me, I'll ask around the world. You probably don't want the whole world to know that you are looking for something, right?" Langster said in a teasing tone.

There was silence on the other side.

"Ugh…"

"Pandora."

"...?"

"Actually... I'll take this gem as a formal meeting gift, as an apology for my love of wandering around the world and probably participating in your actions many times."

"Pandora has no use to you anyway."

Langst shrugged his shoulders to indicate that he didn't care.

Kaito Kidd confirmed that he had no gains today and was about to leave, but for some reason he mustered up the courage to ask the magician opposite him:

"Your purpose?"

"Me? No comment."

“…Hey, why are you like this?”

"Magic requires mystery... sorcery doesn't need it? Well, it doesn't, I just don't want to say it."

"Don't look at me like that, thank you. Everyone has a purpose, and I just know that our goals don't conflict."

"hehe…"

"Alas...it seems that you still don't quite believe it, but if you need it in the future, you can ask me for help...like now."

A group of police officers and detectives finally climbed dozens of floors and reached the door after the elevator was stopped on purpose. However, when the other party pushed the door open, the two had already reached the rooftop.

And the red gem was placed on the desk facing the door.

Kaito Kidd looked at it calmly, as if wondering how the other party did it.

"Okay, let's go."

Voices calling him and people talking came from the pipes downstairs, and Kaito Kid left after hesitating - using a helicopter.

"..." Qingzhu was silent under the mask, but was a little touched.

Do all the Phantom Thieves use such a simple method? Just to explain how it flew up, it turned out to be a helicopter.

The origin has fluctuated again and has increased, not a small amount.

After confirmation, Langst pushed the door open from outside and met everyone inside.

"Who?"

"Boss." Langster was still wearing a mask at this time and handed a card to the other party.

"Hmm..." The other party checked carefully, although he seemed to be surprised that Langster was wearing a mask. "You guarded the gem?"

At this time, the gems on the table were being examined from all angles by Kudo Shinichi, and he should have also looked at other places in the room.

"No." Langster said easily.

“He has already returned this to me.”

"Damn...why." Kudo Shinichi thought to himself, which made Langster look at him.

"The puzzle was solved incorrectly. You are late."

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Langster continued to add:

"Kaito Kidd never acts after late at night, always at night or midnight." When there is plenty of moonlight.

"That sentence..."

At this time, the smart people in the room looked strangely at a certain landmark tower outside the window. It was already lit, and it was red...

"..."*N

"Ahaha...just go away. It doesn't matter anyway. You can write whatever you want in the police notice. It's fine to say that they protected the gems and chased away Kaito Kidd."
