I rely on the vest to be the villain boss

After explaining the origin of the gem, Kaito Kuroba rolled out the chips again, "Take the card." He didn't show any emotion to the dealer's words, as if he wasn't the one who had been chasing the gem.

Edogawa Conan carefully observed every detail in the video, "The person you mentioned didn't get the gem, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't use the gem to lure Kidd."

The room where Kaito Kuroba is currently located is exactly the same size and layout as the room where Belmode is located in the video. The walls are painted dark green with oil paintings, and the spotlights on the walls focus the light on the The position of the dealer and the players, this special layout virtually increases the psychological pressure.

If you observe carefully, you can find subtle differences between the two rooms. The interval between the picture frames in the former is narrower than that in the latter. The most important thing is that one of the paintings has been swapped.

What Kaito Kuroba is facing, that is, hanging behind the croupier, is the "Portrait of a Young Woman Holding a Unicorn" by Raphael, while Belmode's croupier at that time hung The other is Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa", neither of which can be authentic, but they are obviously very realistic imitations.

Is there any significance to these two paintings?Why leave such an obvious flaw, or does it mean nothing?Edogawa Conan frowned. He can now confirm that the croupier Belmode was facing was the same one they were facing. He won't lie, and he hasn't changed his shape.

While thinking, he still didn't forget to get distracted to get more clues, "So, what price did she pay? It's okay to reveal it to us. If Kidd loses, you can also make some mental preparations in advance. .”

Kaito Kuroba pretended to be dissatisfied and threw the chip into the chip area, "Hey, that kind of preparation is unnecessary."

Although they didn't communicate with each other, they agreed to complete the division of labor in this game of life and death.

Kaito Kuroba is really good at card counting. Maybe the dealer in this casino is not bad. In terms of experience, the latter is better. Try to make the situation more favorable to him—for example, to speed up his movements quietly, relying on his excellent reaction speed and dynamic vision to keep the rhythm of the game at the fast pace he is familiar with.

At the same time, Edogawa Conan was searching for decisive evidence in the existing materials, evidence that could overthrow the casino, and at the same time had a verbal confrontation with him.

Even if there is only a momentary flaw, he is confident that he will be able to catch it, but the croupier who maintains the two tasks at the same time has not made a mistake, at least not at present, so they will continue the game for the time being.

"Unfortunately, I can't disclose her chips. That's another price, unless you want to play another game with me." The croupier winked at Kaito Kuroba, "Don't worry, even if Mr. Kid loses to I won't be treated too badly, I just want you to help me accomplish a small thing - it won't be murder, I don't have the bad taste of turning an artist into an executioner, it's a waste of money. You don't have to be too big pressure."

"Should I thank you for your compliment, Professor?" Kaito Kuroba raised his bet again within a second of the flop, and the speed was so fast that one wondered if he had somehow seen the cards before the flop noodle.

"You're welcome." The croupier smiled and settled the settlement, giving him the chips for this victory.

"You are really good at calculating, especially calculating people's hearts." Edogawa Conan's calm voice came from the earphones, "There are many people in this room who have been forced to collapse their psychological defenses in this way. For For those who are weak in tolerance, you can apply pressure by repeatedly mentioning the cost of failure; for those who are good at bearing pressure, you imply that even if they fail, there will be no serious consequences, and once discouraged, they will fall into your trap middle."

"It's like a spider in a web."

The croupier shrugged slightly, "A person once described me like this. You are very similar to him, but sometimes you are not quite like him."

"..." Edogawa Conan didn't ask who he was talking about, "For example?"

"For example——he is a very cold person, you probably can't be as unscrupulous as him."

Edogawa Conan's brows twitched heavily, and the high-speed thinking state he had been maintaining was a little unstoppable.

It's not that he can't concentrate, but... no one can face his idol's slanderous words without changing his face!

But he couldn't immediately name the idol and cite all kinds of evidence to prove his point, because the croupier was leading him in that direction, if he said the name himself, I'm afraid Will hit the croupier's arms.

That being the case... Isn't it just a hint, okay, then he also answered with a hint.

"I have never met the person you mentioned, and I probably am not as familiar with him as you, but sometimes, people miss a lot of information because of familiarity, which leads to misunderstanding." Edogawa Conan carefully put the decrypted data into The key part of the evidence has been transferred to the memory, and after the transfer is complete, he will disconnect it from the network to prevent mistakes, "I have a detective I like very much, and he is also mistaken by many people for being ruthless and cold. But in fact, He also used to say 'If you hurt him, you don't get out of this room alive', that was a very important friend of his."

"...the detective you're talking about must be British." The croupier said, his expression looked strange, and his words came out a little too slowly, "Only the British would speak like that."

"..." Edogawa Conan coughed vigorously and didn't make a sound.

The croupier started a new round of offers, and Kaito Kuroba's chips had dropped to 70 at some point. He continued: "Little detective, you seem to have misunderstood a little. The cruelty we are talking about may not conflict. He has To the people around him Wen...well, well, he's kind of soft, but at the same time he's ruthless towards others. Like you said, he'll actually draw his gun to protect his friends, And will stop at nothing to protect what he believes is right."

"But you... little detective, can you coldly and decisively execute a person who will endanger what you believe to be righteous?"

Conan Edogawa's movements froze for a moment. Staring at the screen for a long time made his eyes sore, so he took off his glasses and looked into the dealer's eyes through the lens.These eyes are dark and deep, but not as... deep as he imagined, giving people a feeling that they are going to swallow people up at any time.

He didn't stay silent for a long time, because the answer had already been concluded many years ago.

With a father who is a mystery novelist, the most indispensable thing in Kudo's family is books, especially mystery novels. Kudo Shinichi spent most of his childhood on these books.The dreams of peers are Masked Rider or Magical Girl, but his dreams are Sherlock Holmes, Poirot, Ellery Quinn and others.

Kudo Shinichi has never met them, but they are like his teachers, teaching him to observe the world, to judge all of this, and then... come up with an answer that belongs only to him.

"Judging criminals is the responsibility of the law." He said every word, as if he wanted to instill his belief in every syllable, "And what I have to do is to announce the fact that they have committed evil to the light." under."

Just like Detective Poirot, he has solved countless cases and entered his old age. He has seen the true face of the murderer, but he can't find any evidence. In the end, he can only choose to kill X to prevent him from committing more crimes.But Poirot, who was always confident, could not say for sure that his choice was correct this time, so he also judged himself for this move—dropped the heart medicine he was carrying, and then died of a heart attack.

Kudo Shinichi finished reading the Detective Poirot series in elementary school. The question of why Poirot died puzzled him for a long time, but now he has understood the answer.

Poirot killed not only Suspect X, but also his life as a detective.The moment he pulls the trigger, his detective career is over—even if he saves a lot of people by doing so.

"If you cross that line...the detective loses the qualification to reveal the truth."

The progress bar has come to the end, and the transfer is complete.Conan Edogawa's tense shoulders finally relaxed, and his facial muscles also relaxed a little. He slowly curled the corners of his lips, "Now, it's time to reveal your true face, 'Professor'."

The croupier was stunned for a moment, and the muscle movements in his hands made him deal the cards.

The 17th round of the game is still going on, Kuroba Kaito has two 10s on the board, and he chooses to split the cards at this time.Splitting the cards is to divide the cards with the same points into two parts, and bet and counted separately. They are all pressed separately on these two cards.

If these two cards win at the same time, he will win all the dealer's chips in one fell swoop, but at the same time, if he loses, the game will also end here.

"Isn't that the purpose of card counting?" Kuroba Kaito folded his hands and supported his chin, with a smile on his lips, "Why is there such a surprised expression? The more surprising part is yet to come, the audience It’s too easy to be satisfied.”

What's going on, why is he suddenly so confident?Could it be that he did something in this pile of cards?How is it possible, players are forbidden to touch the cards at blackjack, even the Kaitou Kidd cannot change the cards without making any contact!

The croupier's two fingers pressed tightly on the top card of the pile, and he did not turn it over for a long time.Kuroba Kaito followed him all the time, no one could play tricks in front of a magician of this level.

"You all go out, stay on the 13th." After a few seconds, he said so, the voice made by the tense vocal cords was a bit weird.When all the bodyguards left the room and only the number 13 he had called was left, the croupier continued, "Tell me, little detective."

"Having the information about Kidd and me, and calculating that we will come to investigate and make preparations, there is only one person who can do this, and that is the professor who controls the entire national crime network. This casino is also owned by the professor. One of the products of crime, I can be sure of this." With the key information in hand, there is no need to worry about being discovered and expelled, so Edogawa Conan tried to hack into the casino's control system with confidence, "But, you— —”

He didn't continue his words, and Kuroba Kaito was also waiting for his answer, waiting for the moment when the answer and the game ending would be revealed together, but there was silence in the room.

Kaito Kuroba looked at the croupier, and the worst happened. One of his hands silently moved under the table, but the croupier dropped the cards, and the cold muzzle of Kaito hit Kuroba Kaito The back of his head, "As the little detective said, I am the professor. The game is over, Kidd."

Kaito Kuroba glanced sideways at the No. 13 security guard behind him, and slowly raised his hands, "I remember you said that you will not foul, and this casino will not leave a chance to repent?"

"I didn't make a foul, it's just that you gave up the game yourself." The croupier unhurriedly took off his vest with his hands behind his back, threw it on the ground, and walked towards the door, "As for not leaving a chance to regret it...hahaha, That's a thing of the past."

"Okay, No. 13, get rid of him."

"Yes."

A shot goes off!

At the same time as the croupier's order fell, Kaito Kuroba slipped a smoke/fog/bomb from his sleeve, and the thick smoke filled the not-so-wide room within a second, and Kaito Kuroba immediately moved towards He dodged aside and used the chair as a cover, but the sound of the bullet hitting the human body still fell into his ears!

The color of blood bloomed and shattered in the snow-white smoke.

There was a muffled sound outside the heavy explosion-proof door, and then the door, which can only be opened by entering the password and fingerprints, was violently blasted open, and there were several more gunshots. If Kaito Kuroba hadn't been hiding behind the bunker, he would have been shot In the middle, after the gunshot, a steady male voice said, "Don't move!"

Kaito Kuroba, who can skillfully change his voice, is very sensitive to human voices, and he instantly realized whose voice it was—one of the 13 members of the Sanming Police Department!

... So, is this even in his calculations?

I believe that they can break the game, so on this premise, I prepared a big gift for them after breaking the game, which is closely linked.

Kuroba Kaito seemed to hear a chuckle from a man whose whole body was shrouded in shadow.

"13 is an ominous number, don't you know it well, kid?"

The author says:

So here comes the question, is the croupier a professor?

Anyway, it will be revealed tomorrow(.)
