Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World

Chapter 263 The Mystery of the Disappearance of the Crown

Officer Nakamori gave orders: "Okay, there is only 1 minute left in the preview time. Everyone put on your gas masks and get ready to welcome Kaito Kid."

A group of mobile team members put on gas masks, their eyes full of vigilance. Conan also picked up his own gas mask and put it on.

Yuya Kazami waved his hand and asked, "Excuse me, where are our gas masks?"

"How could there be any extra for you?"

Amuro Toru smiled and said, "I guess so."

Kudo Yuki took out three mist masks from her bag and handed them to Amuro Toru and Kazami Yuya. "Put them on."

Toru Amuro took the mask, looked at Kudo Yuki, nodded, and then quickly put on the mask.

Yuya Kazami also quickly took the mask and put it on his face, feeling grateful for Kudo Yuki's attentiveness.

At this moment, the bell on the roof rang, and the heavy and melodious sound echoed in the air, striking 12 times.

Feng Jianyu looked around in confusion, "Nothing happened."

But Toru Amuro noticed something strange, "No, there is white smoke coming out."

After saying this, Kaito Kid, who was dressed as Azusa Enomoto, started coughing.

A mobile team member pointed at the air conditioning vent above and reported loudly: "Officer Nakamori, white smoke is coming out of the air conditioner."

Feng Jianyu accidentally inhaled some smoke, and he immediately covered his mouth and nose, "This is not ordinary smoke."

Amuro Toru was also accidentally hit. He frowned slightly and said, "The thing that was sprayed out is atomized white paint."

Kudo Yuki rolled her eyes and looked at Kaito Kid, who was dressed as Enomoto Azusa. "Enomoto, quickly cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief." After saying that, she couldn't help coughing herself.

"Damn it, it's all white and I can't see anything." Officer Nakamori said angrily. He took out his intercom and ordered loudly: "This is Nakamori, go and deal with the abnormality of the air conditioner immediately and restore it to normal."

"Understood." The response came from the intercom.

Kaito Kid took advantage of this opportunity to tamper with the display cabinet and ran back to Kudo Yuki.

Kudo Yuki frowned, "Officer Nakamori, those of us who are not wearing gas masks should leave the exhibition room now and come back in when things return to normal."

Officer Nakamori nodded. "Okay, those without gas masks, go out first."

Toru Amuro took Kudo Yuki's hand and ran out, followed closely by Kaito Kid, and Yuya Kazami cautiously left the rear. The four of them quickly ran out of the exhibition room.

After a while, a voice came out of Officer Nakamori's intercom again. "Officer Nakamori, the air conditioning is back to normal."

Officer Nakamori breathed a sigh of relief: "Very good, well done." Then, he put down the walkie-talkie and asked: "Is the crown still there?"

Suzuki Jirokichi answered firmly: "No problem, the lid of the display cabinet is still closed."

When the atomized white paint dissipated, everyone looked closely and saw a card inserted above the crown box, which read:

I have accepted the princess' bangs! - Kaito Kidd.

Officer Nakamori and Suzuki Jirokichi were stunned.

"how so!"

"How can it be!"

Conan calmly analyzed: "He might have just placed the card to pretend that he had stolen the crown."

Kudo Yuki and the other three walked into the exhibition room and happened to hear Conan's speculation. She secretly glanced at Kaito Kidd disguised as Enomoto Azusa and decided to watch the show from the side.

Suzuki Jirokichi stroked his beard and said, "This is indeed a common trick used by that guy."

Officer Nakamori picked up his phone and ordered, "Okay, cut off the power to the ceiling device. I'll go in and check it out myself."

Amuro Toru crossed his arms and said, "Please wait a moment. If you were pretending to be Kidd, then you could have hidden the crown in your arms the moment you opened the display case.

Then it pretends that the crown has been stolen by Kidd. So there is nothing left in the display case, right? "

Yuya Kazami stepped up and said, "That's right. If a crown that size is stuck on the side of the waist like this, it can be hidden if it is covered with a top."

Kaito Kid suggested in the voice of Azusa Enomoto: "In that case, let Conan go over and check it out. Kid can't disguise himself as a child."

Conan looked up at him, "Sure, I can, but I need a chair."

Afterwards, Suzuki Jirokichi gave each person whose body was covered with white paint a towel to wipe it off.

Seeing Conan holding the chair and moving it step by step with great effort, Kudo Yuki walked over and lifted the chair for him, while quietly reminding him: "Conan, remember to observe whether there are other boxes under the box, and don't make a sound."

Conan nodded.

Kudo Yuki placed the chair some distance away. "Conan, you take care of moving these few steps."

Conan moved the chair to the crown display case, and Suzuki Jirokichi warned him worriedly: "You have to be careful, there might be something wrong with it."

"Yeah." Conan climbed onto the chair. "Then I'm going to open it."

The moment the box was opened, Conan was surprised: "The crown is gone."

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Jirokichi and Officer Nakamori immediately ran over.

"Hey Hey hey."

"is that true?"

At this time, Shushu popped out his little head and said, "Xiaoxue, let me show you something." As he said that, he placed the system screen in front of Kudo Yuki.

When Toru Amuro heard Shu Shu's voice, he subconsciously looked at the system screen, and saw the room where Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran were staying.

"I thought everything would be fine after the white mist dissipated, but the crown is gone. Mr. Kidd is really amazing."

"The daydream mentioned in the preview letter must be this cloud of white fog."

"Huh? The person walking next to Conan now is... Xiaozi."

"Didn't she say she was very sleepy and went back first?"

"Why is she there?"

At this point in the playback, the system screen suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Kudo Yuki communicated telepathically: "Thank you! In fact, I can guess what's going on even without watching it. Solving the case is just a matter of time."

Toru Amuro fell into deep thought, repeatedly pondering the screen image he had just seen, and a strategy for dealing with the situation seemed to gradually emerge in his mind.

Officer Nakamori held the intercom tightly and gave a decisive order: "Kid has definitely not left the museum yet. Maintain the existing security deployment as much as possible. Then search every corner of the museum carefully."

"Yes." A group of mobile team members immediately took action and began to conduct a comprehensive search of the museum.

Suzuki Jirokichi looked at Officer Nakamori and asked, "What on earth is going on? It was so easy for Kidd to install a smoke device in the air conditioner."

“It’s really hard to predict.”

Conan stood aside, lost in thought. As he climbed onto the chair, he paid special attention to the box, making sure that there was another box. His eyes slowly moved over Kudo Yuki, Amuro Toru, Enomoto Azusa, and Kazami Yuya.

Kudo Yuki noticed Conan's eyes wandering over the four of them, so she walked up to him, gently touched his head, and whispered, "Little detective, do you think the person disguised as Kaito Kidd is among the four of us?"

Conan nodded slightly and lowered his voice: "Sister Xue, at the moment, the most likely scenario is that one of the four of you is disguised as Kaito Kidd."

After hearing this, Kudo Yuki smiled and whispered, "Then let's start with me. Conan, the fact that you can also count me as a suspect proves that you have grown up again. I look forward to your results in solving the case."

Conan leaned forward slightly, closer to Kudo Yuki, and lowered his voice: "Sis, since you said so, I will start with you. However, I think it is unlikely that you are disguised as Kaito Kid. After all, some of your habits and actions are difficult to imitate."

Kudo Yuki chuckled and reached out to tap Conan on the head. "Little detective, you have good sense. So tell me, what questions are you going to ask?"

Conan rolled his eyes and said softly, "Sister, do you remember what mechanism is in the Poirot Café?"

Kudo Yuki raised the corner of her mouth slightly and whispered in his ear: "Little detective, this is not difficult for me. Only you can open the mechanism in the secret room and blow it open."

Conan then asked in a slightly curious tone: "Sister, what do you and mom do most when you are at home?"

Kudo Yuki immediately replied: "Collecting Conan emoticons. My mother has a lot of them stored in her phone."

Conan blushed slightly, showing a helpless expression, and muttered softly: "Sister, can't you have some other hobbies? You always collect my emoticons."

Then he coughed lightly and adjusted his mood, "But it seems that you are indeed the elder sister. Then the next one is Amuro brother."

Conan took small steps and looked up. "Excuse me, Amuro-nii, come here for a moment."

Toru Amuro bent down slightly and Conan pulled her clothes towards an empty wall.

Kudo Yuki also quietly followed the two of them.

Conan let go of his hand, "When we were waiting in line to enter this morning, I heard a sister say that you recommended her the new dishes of Shiro Cafe. Do you remember?"

"Let me think about it, it seems to be the case."

"I want to ask what the new dish that sister mentioned is?"

Amuro Toru snorted and squatted down, "Why are you asking this now?"

"I just suddenly became a little curious." Conan blinked.

Amuro Toru suddenly came close to Conan, glanced at Kaito Kid, covered his face with his hands and whispered: "The new dish is cream bacon pasta. You can also ask Miss Xiaozi."

"Yeah." Conan walked up to Kaito Kid and looked up and asked, "Sister Xiaozi, what are the new dishes at Poirot Cafe?"

Kaito Kid squatted down and thought for a while, "Oh, the boss gave it a strange name, charcoal grilled or something, it's a very long name.

Oh, and what the boss said this morning about allowing customers to make their own dim sum according to their own needs, what happened to these two new dishes?"

"I want to try it next time I go. By the way, why did you come here, Sister Xiaozi?"

"Because the store needs to replace the new air conditioner, we are temporarily closed. How come you forgot?"

Kaito Kid stood up and walked towards Amuro Toru and Kudo Yuki. "Mr. Amuro, has the boss contacted you?"

Amuro Toru smiled and answered, "Oh, yes. She said that tomorrow the business will be open as planned, and she asked me to let you know as well."

Kaito Kidd looked at Kudo Yuki again, "Boss, why don't you contact me directly?"

"Enomoto, don't you know now?"

Conan put his hands in his pockets and walked towards Yuya Kazami, "As I remember, you are Officer Fei... Officer Kazami, right?"

"Shh!" Kazami Yuya made a gesture to keep quiet, lowered his body slightly and looked at Conan. "Please don't call me by my real name."

"I'm sorry, because I heard Amuro-nii called you that. I also heard you said on the phone that you were taking a day off today. Where were you going?"

Yuya Kazami moved closer to Conan, "Why should I report my own schedule to you?"

Toru Amuro came over and said, "Conan, as a public security officer, you cannot casually reveal information about yourself to others."

"Yeah, that's right."

Kazami Yuya stood up, and Amuro Toru asked quietly: "So, what is the situation over there?"

"It's okay. There's nothing special going on over there. He was just knocked unconscious, but he woke up quickly."

"Is that so? Then I'll leave the rest to you."

"it is good."

Conan looked around the exhibition room and stopped his gaze on the bench. He turned around and murmured, "By the way, I remember Officer Nakamori sent you the photos of the exhibition venue. Can I take a look?"

Feng Jianyuya frowned, very surprised: "Why should I show it to you?"

Amuro Toru dissuaded him, “Okay, okay.”

"This is a public security regulation. Except for designated personnel, no unauthorized personnel have the right to view it without permission." Kudo Yuki suggested to Conan: "However, you can try someone else, such as my boyfriend."

Conan's eyes lit up and he looked at Amuro Toru: "Amuro brother, can you show me?"

Hearing this, Amuro Toru handed his phone to Conan. "Look at mine."

Conan took the phone and said, "Thank you."

He opened his phone and looked at the bench in the photo. There was a certain difference between the bench in real life and the curve of his mouth widened.

Amuro Toru caught him and squatted down. "Well, did you figure out anything?"

"Not yet." Conan handed the phone to Toru Amuro. When Toru Amuro stretched out his hand to take the phone, Conan found that Toru Amuro's hand was stained with atomized white paint.

"Huh? Amuro-nii, you got white paint on your hands."

Toru Amuro stood up and looked at the white paint in his hand. "I don't know where I touched the paint."

Kudo Yuki raised the back of her hand that was being held by Amuro Toru. "It must have been stained when she was running outside."

Upon hearing this, Kaito Kid and Kazami Yuya also looked at their hands.

"I have some too."

"Me too."

Conan asked, "Can you let me see where the paint got on the four of you?"

Then, the four of them revealed the current location of the white paint to Conan.

Conan smiled and understood everything.

In the blink of an eye, the mobile team members returned to the exhibition room one after another to report.

After all the members had gathered, a mobile team leader straightened his back, saluted and reported: "Reporting to Officer Nakamori, there are currently about 200 members searching the museum, but I have not received any reports of the discovery of Kaito Kid."

"How is this possible?" Officer Nakamori said with frustration, "No one saw him fly away from the sky, and no one saw him run out of the museum, he must still be in this museum.

At this point, it doesn't matter if we slightly disrupt the current security deployment. Notify everyone immediately and dig deep to find him."

A group of mobile team members responded in unison: "Yes."
