magician under the moon

Xinyu Building

Designed and built by internationally renowned designer Beth, it is 32 stories high. From the outside, the whole building is pitch black, except for a small number of landscape lights, highlighting its rustic design style. It is low-key and almost hidden in the night.But when you enter the building, you will immediately find that the so-called black exterior wall is gone, replaced by the most beautiful Tokyo night view around.The designer intentionally adopted special tempered glass to convey a realm of life that is hidden in the busy city and knows the world, which can be described as unique.It is this kind of architectural concept that unifies design and humanistic thought, which is sought after by the international architectural circles and has established Beth's authoritative position in the international architectural circles.

And just tonight, on the top floor of this unique building, the atmosphere is so tense that people's blood speeds up, because right here, a fateful duel is about to take place.

"All personnel should be on alert, and every detail must not be overlooked. Tonight we must arrest this overreaching thief and let him see how powerful our police are." Nakamori's passionate words set everyone present on fire. fighting spirit.

He squinted at Kogoro Mori who was sneezing aside. "Remember that tonight is a duel between our policeman and Kaito Kidd. As for some idlers who are always doing nothing, don't bother at all." "Hehe..." Conan sneered helplessly.

"I'm talking about Kudo, why do you think Kidd specially sent a notice letter to Uncle Mori, and specifically emphasized that he would bring you along." The one who bent down and whispered Kansai accent in Conan's ear was Conan's friend Hattori Heiji. "

"This is his challenge to me. Detectives and Phantom Thief are eternal rivals. We have been fighting for such a long time. The battle between us should come to an end."

Although Conan's tone was very flat, his expression revealed his mood at this time. Obviously, both Conan and Hattori are very looking forward to the upcoming battle. Although from the bottom of their hearts, they don't hate Kidd even felt a little sympathetic.But the detective's self-consciousness and self-esteem made the two of them determined to bring this strange thief who played with the police and detectives all over the world to justice. Although in some ways, this love came to the world at night The mysterious thief is more like a rival and friend of the two than an enemy.

It was already 10:30 in the evening, and the bluish-white moonlight shone on this bustling city like daytime, so weak that it was almost negligible.The fast-paced lifestyle makes it impossible to stop the hasty pace even in Tokyo at night.It's just that tonight, people on the street who are used to looking down at the road or talking in twos and twos raise their heads from time to time, looking up at the new moon in the sky.Looking forward to the appearance of a gorgeous, charming, white figure like an elf at night, it is a dream and even belief that is beyond reach for all ordinary people who are somewhat humble.

Unlike ordinary spectators, Conan, who is also the protagonist tonight, obviously does not have any elegance to appreciate Fengyue.Facing the beautiful night in Tokyo outside the window, he frowned slightly, and lowered his head again, looking at the notice letter in his hand.

the day when the moon parted from the night

White wings pierce the black sky

The magician is back,

The ronin from the ancient oriental country crosses the boundary of light

when i met a boy

I will come to worship the "wings"

Phantom Thief kid-[-]

ps: Is the enemy of the enemy a friend?

"Kudou, have you noticed that the notice letter that Kidd sent to Detective Mori's home seems to be a little different from the one in Nakamori's hand! Do you know what's going on?"

"I found out, it's the content of the PS at the end of the notice letter: Enemy's enemy...my enemy, is Kidd referring to...!" A flash of thought made him Conan's heart beat into his throat.

"What's wrong, Kudo?"

"Oh, it's all right, hehe." Sighing, Conan's expression has returned to normal,

I thought to myself, "Really, I'm suspicious again, what relationship can Kidd have with the people from the black organization?" ......However, when I met Kidd last time, his behavior was indeed a little strange, as if he could see through my mind......How much does he know about me?Or is it just a coincidence...'

"I said, will the thief really come? We waited all night for nothing yesterday, but there was no one." Mori Kogoro complained while yawning, pulling Conan's thoughts that had drifted away and was about to start gorgeous. The stage of the duel.

"He will definitely come tonight." Before Police Officer Nakamori rolled his eyes at Mori, Hattori replied instead, with his usual confident smile on his face.

"Why are you so sure? Could it be that..." Mouri Kogoro's sensitive nerves were rarely activated, he looked Hattori up and down, and said, "Are you Kaitou Kidd?"

"How is it possible, uncle!"

The speaker was unintentional, but as soon as Mori Kogoro said this, Nakamori immediately looked at Hattori suspiciously, "How can you be sure that he will come tonight......? Do you mind if I slap your face? ?”

"No, Brother Hattori said that because of the first sentence of the trailer."

Although he usually likes to quarrel, Conan will still help Hattori at critical moments. After all, being pulled in the face by Police Officer Nakamori twice in one day is not an interesting thing for anyone.

"You mean, the notice letter has been cracked." Nakamori immediately expressed extreme excitement.

Seeing that Nakamori had shifted his interest, Hattori heaved a sigh of relief, "To be precise, it is the first sentence of the notice letter, but this sentence actually hints at the date Kidd will come."

"date?"

"That's right, you see, black in English is BLACK, that is to say, the initial letter is B, if the letter B is separated by a month..."

"...It's January [-]rd!!" Everyone exclaimed

"Exactly, adding the last word 'day' together means that Kidd will come to steal the treasure on January [-]rd, which is today."

Everyone suddenly realized.Except for one person.

"Why are you so sure? Maybe he just wanted to say that he would come at night." It was obvious that Nakamori was a little unconvinced by a high school student who deciphered the notice letter first. "This guy always likes to play tricks."'

That's true." Conan thought in his heart, but continued Hattori's reasoning with a childish voice, "Because of the signature this time, don't you find it strange, why this time the notice letter has to be signed by Kaitou kid-[-] instead of the previous one. Phantom Thief Kidd?"

"Well, it is true that he has never used this signature." Nakamori looked at the notice letter and began to think.

"Actually, this name has a history. [-] is Kidd's international crime code. A novelist used to decompose and combine the four numbers of [-] to become kid. Kidd deliberately used this signature to imply that We, his password this time will be deciphered in a similar way, am I right, Brother Hattori." Conan looked at Hattori with a 'naive' expression.

Hattori has a black line on his face - this kid, Kidd will become

"Then what's next, what does the following text mean?" Police Officer Nakamori's eyes instantly turned into stars.It seemed that he wanted to get into Hattori's head.

"Well..." Facing Officer Nakamori's expectant eyes, Hattori cleared his throat in embarrassment, "What's next... I'm not sure yet."

"Well... well, no matter what, since Kidd will definitely come today, we must show the courage and courage of the police and send this vile thief to prison."

After being slightly disappointed, Nakamori immediately mustered up all his fighting spirit. Facing his opponent who has been fighting all his life, fickleness is by no means the patent of young people.

"Obey!!" All the policemen were also eager to try.

"Hehe...I always feel that I have come to the wrong place." Kogoro was very helpless

"Originally," Conan and Hattori said in unison.

"Dang..." A big bag appeared on someone's head again.

"Speaking of which, why is this diamond named Twin Wings, since there is only one wing?" Ignoring Conan's innocent face, and Hattori Heiji's sympathetic and schadenfreude face, Mori Kogoro turned around and looked at the man in the window. A beautifully carved diamond mutters to itself.

"Because this jewel has a secret." A voice came from behind everyone.

"Who are you?" Zhong Sen was a little displeased, why is the security so poor that a stranger broke in.

"I'm the owner of this gem. You can call me Caiqian. I heard that the phantom thief Kidd has taken a fancy to the gem. I just rushed back from the 7-star hotel in Paris yesterday. This diamond is a rare treasure, so I don't take care of it personally." I'm going to leave it to you policemen who have fought and failed repeatedly... Hehe... I'm really worried..." A middle-aged man with a big belly spoke again, his voice was like someone being killed on an asphalt road. Like a toad run over by a truck, it makes people sick to their stomachs.

"..." Nakamori was very angry, the veins on his forehead twitched, but it was not easy to attack, and asked the policeman beside him with a livid face, "I should have checked my real identity."

"Yes, checked."

"You just said that this jewel has a secret?" Although he kept telling himself to maintain his professionalism, Officer Nakamori still had a bad tone.

"It has a hidden wing." Seeing everyone's suspicious eyes, Caiqian was a little proud, "What you see now is a pure black wing, but once you take it out, like this, look at the moonlight... ..."

Everyone held their breath, the black gems gradually faded under the moonlight, like an elf absorbing the moonlight, flashing a gorgeous brilliance.In the end, under the amazed eyes of everyone, the gemstone changed from black to translucent milky white, and through the diamond, especially the realistic feathers carved on the diamond, a slightly hazy moon exudes a cool brilliance, with a charming figure presented in front of everyone.Everyone present was stunned by this amazing scene.The emotions of admiration, envy, and jealousy are overwhelming.

Therefore, naturally no one would notice that a pigeon flapped its white wings at this time, passed through the night, and stopped at an inconspicuous corner on the opposite rooftop.

"Thanks for your hard work, it is indeed a heart-warming gem." Kaitou Kidd gracefully stroking the white dove's feathers

"This diamond is like a strange thief. Whenever the night falls, under the reflection of the moonlight, it is gorgeous and bold in a white dress. No wonder my father would have taken a fancy to it. Such a gem can only be called a magician under the moon." Kidd deserves to have it."

Probably no one in this world could see what kind of confident and charming smile appeared on Kidd's face at this moment.Of course, including those opponents who are discussing him and diamonds.

"Under the black wings, there is another white wing hidden, which is why this diamond got its name." Caiqian carefully put the gem back into the display case, "and therefore, it also has another name, called the Moon Stone. With such a rare gem, it’s no wonder that Kaito Kidd, known as the Magician under the Moon, tried to take her away twice.”

"twice?"

"That's right, Kidd sent a warning letter before, claiming to steal the diamond." Nakamori fell into memory, "But what we didn't expect was that we waited for three days, but Kidd never showed up, and This disappearance lasted for eight full years. I really don’t know what he was thinking, after such a long time, he suddenly wanted to steal this diamond again, this guy is indeed an elusive figure.”

"No wonder the notice said 'the magician is back'. It turns out that the notice has been completely deciphered by my detective Mori Kogoro!"

"what!"

Kogoro Mori cleared his throat, "The Kaitou Kidd failed to steal the gems on time eight years ago, so to commemorate that mistake. He must have decided to steal the gems three days later, haha, I am worthy of being a detective Kogoro Mori"

"Uncle, what is there to commemorate the mistake... If it is really three days later, there will be a reminder in the notice... Wait, Kidd disappeared for eight years, then..." Hattori Glancing at Conan, the two had a good understanding and smiled at the same time.

"So that's what it means." Conan and Hattori said in unison.

"What do you mean?" Nakamori was confused.

"If that's the case, the meaning of Kidd's code will be clear." Hattori said with a smile, which surprised everyone present except Conan.

"Are you saying that you cracked the notice letter? Hey, I say brat, think it through carefully, don't be like someone, just talk stupid!" Nakamori obviously meant something.

"Who is talking stupid!"

The smell of gunpowder in the air escalated again because of the two middle-aged men staring at each other.

Ignoring the repeated drama, Hattori Heiji calmly began his reasoning, "Yes, when I heard that he disappeared for eight years, I understood..."

"Di..." A slight but abrupt voice sounded in the empty exhibition hall.

It's just that such a volume is obviously not enough to attract everyone's attention.But the deafening sound that followed, I believe no one will ignore it.With the sudden dimming of the indoor lights, all the floor-to-ceiling glass of the 32-story building were shattered in an instant, like split crystals, piercing the tranquility of the night with a roar.

"The Kaitou Kidd has appeared, everyone is on alert." Nakamori shouted.

"This is impossible!" Hattori obviously couldn't believe everything in front of him.

"Damn Kidd, hurry up and activate the backup power generation device." The other police officers hurriedly activated the backup power generation device as if they had just woken up from a dream.Only 30 seconds later, the room was bright again.

"Ah!!! My jewel, where are my wings?" The moment the light came on, Caiqian let out a shrill cry.The glass display case with the "wings" was in a mess, and the diamonds on the red flannel were even missing.

"Damn it, he succeeded again, this guy shouldn't run away." Zhong Sen was the first to rush out.The police officers also rushed into action.The entire hall was suddenly quiet, except for the broken glass all over the floor, there was only a teenager and a child left, with incredible expressions on their faces.

"Kudo, what's going on, is our reasoning wrong?"

"Impossible," Conan said firmly, as usual, "and it's too strange, stealing the gem without even showing up. This is not in line with Kidd's usual style. Could it be that he wants this diamond too much?"

Just as the two fell into deep thought, the police search was in full swing.

"Go and search over there, I'll go to the roof to have a look." Nakamori ordered his subordinates while running in the building.

"Yes!"
