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

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko saw Suzuki Jirokichi standing upright at the door, with a reinforced corridor behind him.

The two of them looked in the direction where he was standing, and saw that the walls on both sides of the corridor were obviously much thicker than usual, and there were metal devices embedded in them at short intervals.

The two were full of doubts and looked at each other.

"No way!"

"what is this?"

Kudo Yukiya looked at Suzuki Jirokichi with inquiry in her eyes, waiting quietly for him to explain.

Suzuki Jirokichi raised his chin slightly, with a bit of pride on his face: "This is the special passage used to deal with Kidd, the 'Wind God Road'. I'll take you in for a tour."

After saying that, he took the lead and strode into the corridor.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko hurriedly followed, and Kudo Yuki walked at the end. Her eyes slowly swept over the metal devices, and she secretly pondered the mystery of this "Wind God Road" in her heart.

As they went deeper into the corridor, everyone had to bend down and move forward behind Suzuki Jirokichi.

Conan was not affected. He put his hands in his pockets, stood up and walked forward leisurely, looking around curiously from time to time.

Suzuki Jirokichi explained as he walked: "This passage is more than 20 meters long, and the ceiling is very low. Adults have to bend over to pass through it smoothly."

Suddenly a gust of wind blew from the front. At first it was just a gentle breeze, ruffling everyone's hair. In a flash, the wind suddenly increased in strength, making everyone's hair fly wildly and the corners of their clothes rustle.

Mao Lilan tried to keep her body steady, and subconsciously pressed down the hem of her skirt with both hands to prevent her from exposing herself. "This wind..."

Suzuki Sonoko said as she used her hands to cover her wind-blown hair: "What's going on? Really."

Kudo Yuki narrowed her eyes and carefully felt the direction of the wind. She soon discovered that this wind was not natural wind, but was blown out from those metal devices.

She analyzed in her mind: "The strength and angle of this wind must have been carefully designed."

Conan stood beside Kudo Yuki, his hands still in his pockets: "I think this is also a countermeasure against Kidd. Last time, Kidd used his poker gun to hit the poker cards with steel wire ropes into the wall one by one, and then he could move very quickly."

His eyes revealed familiarity and vigilance towards Kidd, as if he had seen through all of Kaito Kidd's tricks.

Suzuki Jirokichi pushed open the door in front of him and walked down the stairs. "After passing this corridor, you will reach this exhibition hall."

Standing in the exhibition hall were the exhibition hall director Ms. Ando Seria, Officer Nakamori and 8 mobile team members, all waiting for the appearance of Kaito Kid.

Andou Seria suggested seriously: "Advisor Suzuki, let me explain what's going on."

Suzuki Jirokichi nodded. "Well," he stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation, signaling Andou Seria to start the introduction.

Ando Seria explained to everyone in the exhibition hall: "As you can see, all the windows of the exhibition hall are equipped with iron bars, making it impossible to enter or exit. In other words, the only entrance and exit is the 'Wind God Road'."

Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko and the Kudo siblings crawled out from the "Wind God Road", stood up, tidied their clothes that were blown by the wind, and looked around the exhibition hall.

Andou Seria put on white gloves, walked to the display cabinet, and demonstrated as she spoke: "Then if the crown leaves the display cabinet even a millimeter, the alarm will sound."

When her hand just touched the crown, everyone heard a "click" and the alarm sounded instantly.

Jirokichi Suzuki and Officer Nakamori looked up and looked in the direction where the alarm came from.

Andou Seria held the crown in her hand and turned back to explain to everyone: "In 3 seconds, the entrance and exit of the 'Wind God Road' will be automatically locked."

As soon as he finished speaking, two "clang" sounds were heard. The two mobile team members guarding the "Wind God Road" looked at the closed door with tension in their eyes.

Ando Seria turned on the display case and put the crown back into it.

Mao Lilan frowned slightly and measured the distance. "It's about 10 meters from the crown to here, and 30 meters to the entrance."

Suzuki Sonoko sighed: "Three seconds definitely can't take it away, right?"

Officer Nakamori stroked his chin, questioning, "But if Kidd cuts off the power here, that corridor will be useless."

Andou Seria pushed up her glasses, and a light flashed across the lenses: "Don't worry, that corridor has its own power supply. Even if the entire Jinzao loses power, this corridor can still operate normally."

A mobile team member walked into the exhibition hall with a man and a woman and reported loudly: "Officer Nakamori, I brought these two identification experts. Can we identify them?"

Kudo Yuki looked up and saw that the man who was appraising was actually Kaito Kid in disguise. She was shocked and quickly held her breath, and spoke telepathically: "Shu Shu, Kaito Kid is here!"

Shushu poked his little head out of Kudo Yuki's pocket, and his black eyes rolled around: "Will there be more excitement this time?"

"Who knows, but we must see the kid's growth progress." Kudo Yuki quietly reached her hand into her pocket and gently stroked the mouse's fur, but appeared calm on the surface.

Officer Nakamori looked at the time on his watch with a serious expression, "Now? It's less than an hour until 21:1 as Kidd predicted."

The mobile team member looked at the two forensic experts and added: "Some trouble occurred while we were having dinner."

Conan thought to himself: [Trouble?]

Officer Nakamori turned around and warned, "Then hurry up and get it done."

The older lady, Chikato Nakajo, came to the display case and said, "Well, let me first look at the gemstone set in the front of the crown, this tourmaline."

Andou Seria said solemnly: "Please do not touch the crown."

"I know." Nakajo Chika held the blow brush in his hand and made a "puck puck" sound in front of the crown.

Officer Nakamori was puzzled: "Excuse me...what are you doing?"

While cleaning, Nakajo Chika answered: "Don't you know? Tourmaline is also known as 'tourmaline'. With just a little pressure or heat, it will become charged and absorb dust in the air. So you have to blow it away with airflow first."

After cleaning, she put on a magnifying glass and looked at the gem carefully, her eyes full of admiration: "Oh... a deep blue with some green, it's really a perfect blue tourmaline!"

Kaito Kidd, who was standing behind him, switched to Kano Fumiji's voice: "Get out of the way! It's my turn to identify the crown. I don't use a blower like you. I use a high-pressure air jet, an air dust collector."

Kaito Kid sprayed the crown with the spray a few times and moved closer to it. He placed his hand on the white wall and said, "Wait a minute! I will check if this is genuine."

Conan's stomach made an inopportune "gurgling" sound at this moment.

Mao Lilan smiled and looked at him, "Are you hungry?"

Conan scratched his head awkwardly: "Yeah."

Suzuki Sonoko put her hands on her hips and said, "Then let's go to the lounge and wait."

Hearing this, Kudo Yuki retracted her gaze and said, "I remember Enomoto said there were a lot of orders for sandwiches, so there should be some left."

So, Mouri Ran, Suzuki Sonoko and Kudo Yuki took Conan to the lounge.

As Kudo Yuki walked, she unconsciously leaned towards the window in the corridor. She leaned down slightly and looked down. She saw that a dense crowd had already gathered downstairs of the Suzuki Building. The scene was quite spectacular. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "There are so many people gathered."

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran also came over when they heard the sound and looked down together.

"Wow, there are so many people here. I think everyone is here to see Kidd show up."

"With so many people here, it would be bad if Kidd showed up and caused some chaos."

Conan also stood on tiptoe, looking at the situation downstairs, muttering quietly: "Huh, that guy always makes such a big noise every time he shows up."

Kudo Yuki looked at the crowd downstairs and thought silently: "So many people gathered here, which actually provides a lot of cover for that kid. He might use the cover of the crowd to implement some plan."

Just as she was thinking about it, Suzuki Sonoko's stomach started to growl. In the quiet corridor, the sound was particularly clear.

Suzuki Sonoko's face flushed immediately. She subconsciously covered her stomach with both hands and said shyly: "Oh, my stomach is so disappointing. Why is it growling at this time?"

Mao Lilan smiled and joked: "Sonoko, it seems that you are also very hungry. Let's go to the lounge to find something to eat, otherwise we won't have the energy to watch Kid's performance later."

"That's right, let's go, let's go." Suzuki Sonoko hurriedly urged everyone, fearing that she would miss the wonderful scene when Kaito Kid appeared.

The four of them quickened their pace and walked into the lounge. As soon as they entered the door, they smelled a faint aroma of food.

There were several comfortable sofas and coffee tables in the lounge, on which were scattered magazines and newspapers. There was a small dining table on one side of the wall, on which were placed several plates, on which there were indeed some sandwiches and a few drinks left.

The four of them walked over, each took a sandwich, and slowly started eating.

Kudo Yuki silently said in her heart: [Sign in.]

"Ding, congratulations to Xiaoxue for signing in successfully today. You will receive +500 mall points and a micro-sound listening device.

The current mall points are 3380, and the system space has: healing elixir, recent information on the winery organization, location distribution map of the winery base, phantom identity secret box, and silent listening device. Please continue to sign in every day, Xiaoxue."

Then, the system announcement sounded: "Due to the slow progress of the investigation of the Haneda Hiroshi case, the props obtained this time will automatically identify the target person and use them."

Suzuki Sonoko praised the sandwich as soon as she finished it, still savoring the wonderful taste: "It's delicious! Poirot's ham sandwich is indeed the best."

Mao Lilan smiled and responded: "Yes, that's right."

Shushu was originally cracking pine nuts happily, but suddenly stopped and warned, "Xiaoxue, there are people from the winery organization approaching here. You have to be careful!"

After saying that, it continued to crack pine nuts.

Kudo Yuki was wondering who it could be, when she heard the system prompt sound: "Ding, the item has been used."

Then, Wakita Kensuke slowly approached with a kind smile on his face: "Is it so delicious?"

Both Mao Lilan and Conan were shocked.

“Iroha Sushi’s…”

"Uncle Wakita."

Suzuki Sonoko raised the plate and handed it to Wakita Kensuke, "Would you like one?"

Wakita Kensuke smiled and waved his hands: "No, no, I'm too full from lunch."

Suzuki Sonoko had no choice but to put the plate back where it belonged.

Kudo Yuki swallowed the last bite of her sandwich, "But why did you come here?"

"Two hours ago, a customer of Suzuki Jirokichi called and said he wanted to order a special sushi platter to celebrate Kidd's arrest. I'm here to recycle the tableware."

Suzuki Sonoko raised her eyebrows: "A blessing in advance, uncle?"

Wakita Kensuke half covered his mouth with his hand and muttered quietly: "By the way, Conan. I just have something I want to ask you."

"Hmm? What's the matter?" Conan glanced at his elder sister quietly, as if asking her for instructions.

Kudo Yuki smiled and hinted, "Mr. Wakita wants to talk to you, go quickly. You won't be left without that snack."

Conan followed Kensuke Wakita to a quieter corner.

With the help of props, Kudo Yuki was able to hear what Kensuke Wakita was asking, as if she was hearing it right next to her.

Wakita Kensuke squatted down and looked Conan in the eye, with a probing look in his eyes: "Conan, your deputy head teacher is Ms. Wakasa Rumi, right?"

Conan nodded: "Yeah."

"Is there anything strange about that teacher?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Oh, last time I delivered sushi to Teitan Elementary School. When I was walking back, I felt someone staring at me. I turned around and found that Wakasa-sensei was staring at me like a ghost. So, I wonder if there is something wrong with her?"

Conan subconsciously recalled the wound on Wakasa Rumi's hand yesterday, and also recalled what his elder sister said yesterday: "Rum is looking for Wakasa Rumi everywhere, and his intentions are unclear."

He smiled, put his hands behind his back, and murmured in a nonchalant manner: "No problem at all! I'm just an ordinary teacher, albeit a little clumsy."

"Really?" Seeing that things had come to this point, Wakita Kensuke had no choice but to change the subject and look at the three people who were chatting happily next to him. "Come to think of it, is it okay?"

Suzuki Sonoko tilted her head, looking confused: "What?"

"The news said Kidd's notice said, 'Tonight at 21 p.m., break the Siren's curse and watch the water disappear.'"

"and then?"

Wakita Kanenori looked at the time on his wrist and said, "It will be 1 o'clock in less than a minute."

Mao Lilan exclaimed: "Oh no, I relaxed too much. Uncle Wakita, are you coming too?"

"No, no, I can't help you even if I go."

Kudo Yuki took the opportunity to drink the drink in the cup in one gulp.

Suzuki Sonoko stood up and said, "Sister Xue, hurry up, or we'll be late!"

The four of them hurried to the exhibition hall.

Wakita Kanenori was holding the cutlery bag in his hand, thinking to himself: "If my left eye was still there, it would be a different story."

Everyone downstairs in the Suzuki Building shouted in unison: "3, 2, 1, 0!"

The four people just arrived at the exhibition hall, and all the lights in the hall went out. In an instant, the surroundings fell into darkness, and then white smoke filled the air.

When the smoke cleared, a beam of light hit the crown, and Kaito Kidd appeared in a white cloak. His white cloak fluttered gently in the wind, with his iconic smile on his face.

Conan frowned, his eyes full of vigilance: "Kaito Kidd!"

Mao Lilan was surprised: "No way!"

Suzuki Sonoko instantly turned into a fanatical fan, clenched her fists in front of her chest, and shouted with admiration in her eyes: "Mr. Kidd."

The corner of Kudo Yuki's mouth twitched: "This kid must be treating this place as a stage for performance."

And when the people watching the live broadcast downstairs in the Suzuki Building saw Kaito Kid himself appear, they cheered ecstatically and the atmosphere on the scene reached a climax.
