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

Azusa Enomoto said hesitantly: "But, at that time, I was wondering if Mr. Kidd was among these people, so I stared at the mobile team members eating for a while.

Didn’t anyone take anything out of their arms and put it into the ketchup bottle? And the ketchup bottle was also from our store.”

Amuro Toru kept moving his hands, wiping the table while patiently answering: "Oh. That's probably the 'Thumb Tip' trick often used by magicians, which is to put baking soda in the thumb sleeve in advance and then put it on the thumb, so that you can take it off at any time and pour it in secretly.

Baking soda is available everywhere, so even if you know you’re going to order a sandwich to be delivered, you’ll still have time to buy it. And the sandwich always comes with fries.”

"Wouldn't it be better to tell the police about this?"

Amuro Toru raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled and asked back: "Did you go there specifically to talk about this?"

"By the way, when I went to Suzuki Building, I saw the boss and Conan together."

Amuro Toru paused slightly, a barely perceptible concern flashing in his eyes: "Xiaoxue and Conan? What are they doing?"

"Conan was invited as Kidd's nemesis, and the boss should be invited as well." Enomoto Azusa was worried no matter how he thought about it, "I'll be back soon, and I can just pick up the coffee pot by the way."

"Ah, wait a minute." Before Amuro Toru could finish his words, Enomoto Azusa ran away.

Amuro Toru watched Enomoto Azusa's back as she left, and secretly complained in his heart: "Actually, there's no need to make a special trip. If it were Conan, he would have solved this level of reasoning long ago. What's more, with Xiaoxue by his side, Kaito Kidd will have a hard time. ]

Downstairs of the Suzuki Building, police officers shouted with loud speakers: "Everyone gathered in front of the Suzuki Building, Kaito Kid has left. Continuing to gather will hinder the normal passage of others, please go back."

However, the tense atmosphere in the building did not diminish at all.

In the exhibition hall, Conan's eyes shuttled back and forth between Ms. Ando Seria, Ms. Nakajo Chikayoshi and Kano Fumihiko, with various clues and inferences running rapidly in his mind.

He was still whispering his opinion with Kudo Yuki: "Sister, Kid must still be here. He must be disguised as one of these three people. The only time I saw those three people approach the crown was at that time, but what can we know based on those actions?"

Kudo Yuki tilted her head slightly and responded softly: "Don't worry, Conan. Since Kid dared to perform so ostentatiously, he must have left some clues. Let's observe their subtle movements carefully."

Conan nodded and continued to examine the three men.

At this time, Andou Seria also used the same strategy to test Kaito Kid. "I have been hesitant about whether to say it, Mr. Kano. Have your legs become a little longer than when I first met you?"

"Huh? My legs have always been this length." Kaito Kid, who was disguised as Kano Fumihito, looked calm, without any panic or flaws on his face.

Nakajo Chikayo echoed, "I don't see any difference."

Andou Seria turned her attention to Nakajo Chikayo. "Ms. Nakajo, you too. The pattern on your hat is a little different than when we first met."

"Because this is a double-sided hat." Nakajo Chikayo said as he took off the hat and showed it to everyone, explaining: "You see, there is ketchup here, and it can't be cleaned off. In order to hide the stain, I can only wear it inside out."

Kaito Kid put his hands in his trouser pockets and asked nonchalantly, "Won't you get ketchup on your head?"

Nakajo Chika put his hat back on and said, "I've cleaned it up. It's okay."

Conan stared at the double-sided hat, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head, and all the clues were connected at this moment. He looked up and called softly: "Sister, I know how to make the crown disappear, and who Kidd is. But what I don't know is, in this case, how can Kidd leave with the crown?"

With an inexplicable smile on her face, Kudo Yuki gave a hint in a low voice: "Conan, you have already thought of the key, so why not think about it again along this line of thought. Kidd has always been good at using various props and environments to create illusions. Since he can make the crown disappear, he must have a way to escape."

Conan turned his gaze to the three men again.

Nakajo Chikayo pointed to the display case where the crown was placed and said seriously: "Anyway, the crown has been stolen from the display case. And if no one here has the crown, could it be that Kaito Kidd has escaped from here after getting the crown in a way we can't imagine?"

Kaito Kidd turned his head and looked at the exit of the "Wind God Road" and pretended to sigh: "Grandma is right, the Wind God Road set up at the entrance and exit to deal with Kidd seems to be useless."

Andou Seria immediately retorted: "How is this possible! I don't quite understand why the crown was stolen, but Kid definitely hasn't passed the Wind God Road. Right, Mr. Policeman?"

Officer Nakamori said with a serious expression: "Yes, the team member who has been monitoring the entrance and exit of this corridor said, 'After Kidd showed up and stole the crown, no one left this corridor.'"

Suzuki Jirokichi continued: "That means that guy is still in this exhibition hall."

Ran Mao Li gave Conan a look, clearly indicating that she was about to ask a question and wanted Conan to cooperate with her.

Conan understood instantly and nodded slightly.

Mao Lilan opened her red lips and asked, "But where is the crown? If the crown is gone, does that mean Kidd has left too?"

Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It feels like I've come here for a stroll in broad daylight."

Conan held his chin with both hands, pretending to think: "Could it be a flip?"

Suzuki Sonoko looked puzzled: "Huh?"

Conan quickly put on white gloves and began to demonstrate and explain: "Some clothes look completely different when worn inside out because the front and back sides have different materials and colors, right? The same is true for hands."

As he spoke, he held out the palm of his right hand and the back of his left hand. “If I paint my hands black and show them to you, it will look like both hands are pitch black. But just do it the other way around.”

Conan turned his hand over and said, "It looks like another hand that has not been painted at all. In fact, I only painted the palm of my right hand and the back of my left hand black. Because if I see the black fingers on the other side between the black fingers, it will look like my right and left hands are all black."

Kudo Yuki looked towards the display case, her eyes seemed to be able to see through the glass and see the secrets inside. "According to Conan, the crown should also be this shape."

Upon hearing this, Officer Nakamori walked towards the display case with anxiety and confusion, bent down to examine it carefully, and a look of shock instantly appeared on his face: "Isn't the crown here?"

Suzuki Jirokichi also hurriedly came closer, his eyes wide open, and looked carefully, "I see, as long as it is painted with black paint that can absorb light, the crown will blend into the black cloth inside the display case and become invisible."

Conan continued: "So at that time, Kid took advantage of the moment when his left hand covered the crown and turned the crown half a circle so that we could not see it. Then he just moved his fingers away from the blackened protruding part of the crown, and it would look like there was nothing in the display case."

Conan's eyes suddenly became sharp, looking at Kaito Kid who was sizing up the "Wind God Road" pretending to be Kano Fumizu, and teased: "Oh, I haven't finished talking yet, where are you going? Mr. Kano, the antique art appraiser. No, Kaito Kid."

This sentence immediately made Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran alert. They quickly looked behind them with surprise on their faces.

Instantly, white smoke came and filled a corner of the space. After the smoke slowly dissipated, the handsome figure of Kaito Kidd appeared in front of everyone.

Kaito Kidd's lips curled up slightly, as if he was smiling, with a hint of amusement: "How do you know it was me? Obviously there are other people who are close to the crown."

Conan took off his gloves with a smile, "I know! You were able to paint the inside of the crown black, and you were the only one who could identify it after spraying the entire crown. You should have processed the air dust collector so that it could spray black paint, right?"

Kudo Xuelian walked lightly to Officer Nakamori, lowered her voice, and whispered softly: "Officer Nakamori, I will go out of the 'Wind God Road' first."

She turned and walked towards the exit.

Although Officer Nakamori was a little confused, his attention was all on Kaito Kid at this time, and he just nodded slightly.

After receiving the response, Kudo Yuki secretly thought about the escape route of Kaito Kid while walking along the passage.

She turned a corner and stepped into the corridor, her eyes swept around and instantly locked onto a corner. That corner not only gave her a full view of the outside situation, but was also perfectly hidden in the dark, making it difficult to be noticed.

She flashed and quietly hid behind it, waiting quietly for the show to begin.

Shushu poked his little head out of Kudo Yuki's pocket. His little black eyes rolled around and he switched the system screen to the exhibition hall.

The man and the mouse hid in the corner and watched the fun, as if they were the spectators of this wonderful show.

In the picture, Conan looked up at Kaito Kid and asked loudly: "But what are you going to do next? You can't take the crown away from there, okay?"

Kaito Kidd's lips curled slightly: "That's hard to say!"

Before he finished speaking, a pair of roller skates suddenly appeared under the feet of Kaito Kid. Then, Kaito Kid slid through the exhibition hall like a gust of wind, with graceful movements, and in the blink of an eye, he was close to the entrance of the "Wind God Road".

Conan was immediately shocked, his face full of disbelief. He never thought that Kaito Kidd had such a plan.

After Kaito Kid slid to the door, he did not forget to make a playful gesture to Conan and said loudly: "Then I will accept the 'Splash of the Siren'!"

Conan really couldn't figure out what Kaito Kid was up to. Confused, he repeated, "Bye, yes?"

While everyone was still confused, Kaito Kidd squatted down, and with a whoosh, he slid into the 'Wind God's Road'.

Almost at the same time, a steel wire suddenly pulled the crown out of the display cabinet. The crown moved slowly under the traction of the steel wire, as if it was controlled by an invisible hand.

Everyone in the exhibition hall was stunned by this sudden change. They opened their mouths wide and stood there at a loss as to what to do.

Seeing this, Conan reacted very quickly. He immediately stepped on the skateboard and pushed it hard. The skateboard rushed out and he followed closely behind Kaito Kid.

Kaito Kidd, holding the steel wire in his hand, slid out of the "Wind God Road" and did not forget to greet the two mobile team members who were guarding him enthusiastically: "Yahou."

The two mobile team members were stunned at first, then they reacted and hurriedly reached out to stop it, but it was too late.

It was exactly 3 seconds when Conan rushed out.

At this moment, the mechanism of the 'Wind God Road' was activated, a mechanical roar sounded, and the road behind him was blocked.

Conan was extremely anxious and shouted, "Stop, Kidd!"

There was no intention of slowing down the speed of Kaito Kidd's sliding. He turned his head to look at Conan, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "You are worthy of being Kidd's nemesis." As he said that, he took the opportunity to take the crown and look at it carefully.

A group of mobile team members came running from the front, holding weapons and with serious expressions, they surrounded Kaito Kidd.

Seeing this, Kaito Kidd took out a white smoke bomb from his arms and gently threw it to the ground.

In an instant, white smoke spread out. The smoke was pungent and thick. The mobile team members were shrouded in it and began to cough one after another. For a moment, they were in chaos.

Kudo Yuki was hiding diagonally opposite the elevator. She was watching the movements around her through the faint smoke.

Kaito Kid took the opportunity to avoid the chaotic mobile team members and slid to the elevator door.

At this moment, Azusa Enomoto was in the elevator, she put her phone to her ear and talked to Toru Amuro. "Mr. Amuro, this is Azusa! What happens when ketchup and baking soda are mixed?"

"Carbon dioxide. But, Ms. Xiaozi, aren't you a fan of Kidd? Why did you convey these unfavorable situations to him?"

"Because if I could see through his tactics, maybe he would praise me."

Just then, the elevator reached the 60th floor with a "ding" sound.

Kaito Kid saw the right moment, a smug smile appeared on his lips, he strode into the elevator, and appeared in front of Enomoto Azusa. His handsome appearance made Enomoto Azusa slightly stunned, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Kaito Kidd looked at Enomoto Azusa, still with that charming smile on his face, "Miss Azusa, long time no see."

Azusa Enomoto's phone was still pressed to her ear: "Lord Kidd, he..."

Conan watched Kaito Kid walk into the elevator, but he couldn't catch up with him for a while, and he was very annoyed. "Kid!"

Kaito Kid turned his head to look at Conan, then looked at Enomoto Azusa, with a hint of apology on his face, and took off the apron that Enomoto Azusa was wearing. "Excuse me."

He quickly placed Enomoto Azusa's apron and cell phone on the ground.
