[Conan Magic Kaito] Starfall Night

Soon, the outside of the hall was surrounded by police and security personnel, and all spectators present had to be inspected for their belongings under the organization of the staff and police.

The performance was not over yet, but it was also forced to stop.Airu and the other actors went backstage together, without looking up, they knew that each other must have dejected expressions on their faces.

"You've worked hard today, let's work harder tomorrow."

"Well, it must be finished tomorrow!"

Reluctantly raising a smile to greet each other, everyone turned around and no longer concealed the exhaustion in their expressions, and pushed open the doors of their respective lounges.

It was still noisy outside.Although Airu felt that it would definitely cause complaints if the guests who came to watch the show were inspected by the police, but this was Jirokichi's request, and the actors did not have any say in the sponsor's decision.

(...It would be great if the gem can be retrieved because of this...)

Out of a subtle sense of guilt in her heart, Airu also hoped that the gem could be recovered by such a simple means.But if this is the case, it seems to mean that the Kaitou Kidd may be caught. Thinking of this, Airu's mood became anxious again.

Ai Liu felt more and more that her recent mood was completely controlled by him, but she couldn't name this feeling.

Out of anger, she arbitrarily positioned him as the target she wanted to defeat, and Airu didn't know, how could she win him?At first, she thought it would be enough to let him admit the identity of Kuroba Kaito, but she just walked down with momentum, and gradually she felt that she had lost confidence.

Why did she think he would tell her something that even Qingzi didn't know, and why did she want to know so urgently...

"Yeah...why..."

The self-deprecating voice didn't get anyone's answer, she put the empty jewelry box in her hand on the table, pulled out the chair and sat down.

Button—a polite knock on the door came from behind.

"Please come in."

"I'm sorry," the man in the suit who opened the door was the man in the suit who had brought the gems. He still had no expression on his face, and calmly nodded to Ai Liu. "Thank you, I'm here to retrieve the jewelry box."

"Ah, okay..."

Airu stood up and handed the box to him, hesitantly asked: "Uh, don't you need to send this to the police for appraisal? Maybe we can figure out Kidd's method..."

"I don't know, I'll take it back to the consultant and see how he handles it." The other party adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and saluted again, "It's really hard for you today."

"Won't……"

The man finally held the corner of his lips, showing an indistinguishable smile, and said nothing more.He was about to leave when the door creaked open.

"I said, is that box really meant for Suzuki consultants?"

"—Conan-kun?"

Airu looked at the elementary school student standing quietly at the door in surprise.Conan didn't answer Airu, but looked at the man in the suit and continued, "If that's the case, I can go with you."

Airu, who didn't understand, looked blankly at Conan and the man beside him alternately, but the man seemed to have understood it, shrugged his shoulders, and answered "Have you been discovered?" in a relaxed tone.This familiar tone made Ai Liu's heart skip a beat, and she frowned and stared at the stranger in front of her.

"Kidd...?"

The man smiled irrefutably this time, and silently opened the distance between him and Airu.

"I just said, why have you been silent all this time, so you want to catch a turtle in your urn?"

It's just that the voice of speaking is completely different from before, and it has changed back to Kidd's usual brisk voice.

"Thanks to your exaggerated performance just now, the police department and Uncle Jirokichi are now focusing on the audience, and there are almost no people in the backstage." Conan closed the door smoothly, and returned his confident expression, "I used to I was very puzzled, why did you specifically turn off all the lights in the hall. I thought it was to prevent everyone from discovering that you are not a real actor, but that would be contradictory to your behavior of rushing into the auditorium afterwards."

"You can take advantage of the darkness and disappear after taking the gems. You didn't do this because you knew that if you did, the scope of the physical inspection would expand to the entire theater, including the backstage staff and Jiroji. Uncle's subordinates, things will become much more troublesome at that time, and we must find another way to escape."

"So after you turned off the lighting, before everyone's eyes had adapted to the darkness, you used the method of reciting lines to naturally come to Ai Liu's side, and tampered with the jewelry box, making Ai Liu think that the gem had been stolen."

"Then, when the light is restored, show up and attract everyone's attention. When the scene is in chaos, of course no one will think to confirm whether the gemstone is really gone. After that, just mix into the crowd, and then disguise as a backstage People come to recycle the jewelry box... and then they can leave with the gems."

After listening to Conan finish speaking in one breath, Airu looked at the box in Kidd's hand suspiciously: "But...'Dawn of the Free Man' is indeed missing...?"

"It's just that you can't see it. It's still in this box." Conan explained in a teasing tone, "This method is only useful for 'Dawn of the Free Man'. The specific gravity of amber is only about 1.05. If only this In terms of size, it is almost weightless in a solid jewelry box. So as long as you make a hole in the velvet in the box and hide the gems in advance, it will be difficult to find the difference at first glance.”

"…………………"

It was a simple trap, and everyone, including myself, was deceived by such a simple trick.Airu bit her lip and clenched her fists.She squinted her eyes and looked at the culprit. The expressionless face now had a happy smile, which made people feel bored.

"Well, everyone wants their work to be as easy as possible....Speaking of which, how did you slip into the backstage?"

"It's very simple. After telling the police backstage that Mr. Oritani was probably tied up by you and hidden in the locker room, they all rushed to find him."

It was only then that Airu remembered that the real actor Oriya had been missing, and if Conan hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten it.

"I see."

Kidd gave a wry smile.

"But I can't just grab it here..." As he said, he took out his usual silver gun, and the well-maintained shell reflected the light slightly in the room, and the eye-catching luster that didn't give people any sense of aggression attracted love at once. eyes.Kidd quickly aimed it at the ceiling above Conan's head, and shot a playing card without hesitation.

Swah——

The sharp playing cards cut off the fishing line that was fixed on the ceiling with tape and embedded deeply into the wall. A round thing finally broke free from its bondage and fell from the ceiling. As it was right on top of Conan's head, Conan couldn't help it. Dodge without embarrassment.With a click, the round thing fell to the ground and began to emit some strange smoke.

The two were startled, and they covered their mouths and noses together. Even Conan didn't expect that Kidd would even make preparations here. He subconsciously wanted to stay away from the device, but found that if he moved from the door, Kidd would De would run away immediately, so he had to move away two steps with a frown.

"What is this?" Airu took out a handkerchief while retreating to the corner of the room.

"...It's hypnosis gas...Damn it..."

Accepting the indignant stares of the two, Kidd, who had already put on his gas mask at some point, just spread his hands helplessly.

"If it wasn't for being a detective, I might not be able to use this thing. Oh, you're welcome, I'll wait until you fall asleep before leaving."

The thick smoke gradually covered Kaitou Kidd's white figure, but it did not cover his calm voice.Listening to his consoling yet mocking words to Conan who was still blocking the door, Airu held her breath and squatted silently against the corner of the wall.

(Today is really related to all kinds of gas...)

Airu kept trying to tell herself that 'tomorrow's performance will definitely be a success', and from the moment she stepped off the stage, she tried her best not to let herself recall the chaotic scene in the hall just now.

Her first performance ended in failure - because she knew that once she recalled that scene, the voice in her heart could not help but say that to herself.

Unable to grasp any real hope, she has always believed that only work will not betray herself, so she has always devoted her greatest enthusiasm to work.

Until now trapped in the smoke again, it was really hard for her to continue to ignore the pain in her heart.

What did I do to have to be treated like this.

She used to be a person who likes to complain...

Holding her breath had reached her limit, and Ai Liu took a deep breath, and then couldn't help coughing a few times, her consciousness instantly became a little blurred.

Her surroundings have been completely separated by the white smoke, I'm afraid she will soon fall asleep—

Just when Airu was thinking about it, and was about to give up thinking about it, something touched her shoulder.She moved reflexively, and just about to cry out, a finger was already pressed against her lips.

—It was a hand in a snow-white glove.

"Shh... this."

Something was stuffed into her hanging hand.Barely concentrating on looking at the hand, it is a simple gas mask.

(Kidd...?)

She raised her eyebrows, and amidst the smog, Kidd's tall top hat and black gas mask were particularly conspicuous, allowing her to recognize them.

Kidd stared at her for two seconds, then turned around and whispered in a soft voice: "I'm really sorry for ruining the stage you care most about."

"..."

a time.

Airu even forgot to breathe, staring blankly at the unclear figure in front of her.

The special honorifics when facing women lost the subtle frivolity of Kaitou Kid at this time.

What separates each other is not the space distance of less than two meters, nor the smoke that blurs the figures of the two, so maybe it is the lightness caused by the brain inhaling the hypnotic gas, which makes Ai Liu feel that the person in front of him is suddenly far away and near, It seemed that for a moment, she was so close that she could touch it without any scruples.

And Kidd's ending sound was like smoke, and was quickly lost in Ai Liu's ears.

"Miss Airu's performance...is excellent."

(Kuroba...Senior...?)

"……!and many more!"

It wasn't until the last sound disappeared into the air that Airu suddenly realized, put on the gas mask and stood up in a hurry.I don't know if it's because I've inhaled too much smoke, my head is still not clear, and I'm a little shaky when I stand up.She shook her head, not giving herself time to recover slowly, and groped in the direction where Kidd disappeared.

Proceeding according to the general direction in the memory, Airu's feet soon touched the hypnotic gas.She ignored it, pushed the smoke away with her hand and touched the door, exerted a light force, and found that the door had been closed by Kidd again.Airu couldn't care less, touched the doorknob and pushed the door open in one breath.

The smoke immediately drifted out following the door. The corridor outside was very narrow and long, and the smoke in the room soon faded.

"...Sure enough, it's gone already."

The building was empty, the dressing room, which seemed a little cramped when the three of them stayed together just now, looked empty.Airu lowered her eyelashes and sighed.

Conan, who was leaning against the wall by the door, was already asleep. No matter how mature his mind was, his body was still a child with a weakened immune system after all.Conan, who is sleeping soundly, looks very innocent, contrary to his usual mature attitude, it makes people feel even cuter.

A policeman outside noticed the change in the corridor and was rushing here.

There was no other way, Airu squatted down and shook his body temporarily: "Hey, Conan-kun, wake up."

——Inconceivably, the haze in her heart just now was swept away, and her mood at this moment is like the sky after the rain. Although she is still a little wet, it is so warm that it makes people want to cry.

The author has something to say:

Next time if there is a trap, it must be from the original work... Don't worry, I will never overestimate myself again! (escape
