[Conan Magic Kaito] Starfall Night

My mind is like being covered with a layer of veil, or a layer of smoke, or something else.Ai Liu's real thoughts are hidden underneath, appearing chaotic.Although she stood up subconsciously, she didn't know what her purpose was.

The policemen blocking the door just now whispered in confusion because of the loss of the commander, discussing whether to wait here for the Zhongmori Police Department to return, or to spread out to find Kidd.Conan glanced at them and continued to explain.

"The staff who took the elevator down with us today have probably installed some mechanism on the roof. The deliberate reduction of the number of guards is not all to prevent Kidd from changing his disguise, but to make it easier for him to leave here. Of course, in the end The purpose is to trap him."

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the meeting room is the night view of Kubedo.Because it is much taller than the surrounding buildings, you can easily see the horizon where the night sky and the street meet in the distance.The night sky after the rain was wet, and the evening wind swept away the white rain clouds, revealing the stars in the sky.

The chaos in her heart dissipated little by little, it was the wind blowing away the fog.The heart that was once swaying like the light of an oil lamp, now because it wants to meet each other, it is determined to walk on a path of thin ice.

"So, now Kidd..."

"Kidd, who has nowhere to escape, will definitely come back," Conan looked up at her, the eyes of a little boy under the lens were always full of confidence and wisdom beyond his age, Airu clenched his fists.

"Ai Liu, I'll catch him."

"Will not."

After speaking, she turned her back and took the first step.

"……Hey!"

Conan stared dumbfounded at her walking towards the door without hesitation, and immediately reacted and grabbed her wrist.Airu struggled twice, but Conan's strength was unexpectedly strong, so she didn't break free.

"where are you going?"

"I'll go find him." She didn't look back, "I'll help him."

"What are you going to do!?"

Conan raised his voice, attracting the attention of people nearby. He noticed the gaze of the reporter behind him, so he tried his best to lower his volume, but the questioning meaning in his tone did not weaken.

"And you can see clearly how many media are in this room! There are surveillance cameras in the corridors and stairwells!"

That tone was so anxious that Airu couldn't help but turn around.The confidence and wisdom in Conan's eyes just now were all turned into fragments of light, and waves appeared in his dilated pupils.The last time I saw him showing such a nervous expression was on Kudo Shinichi's face.

The smooth long hair slipped from Ai Liu's shoulders, drawing two faint black lines on her snow-white sweater.She didn't say anything, just looked at Conan like this, didn't break free from him, but didn't move back at all.

"...you think about it." Conan's tone calmed down, "If you are photographed assisting Kidd, then you will not only be accused of being an accomplice, but also Wenyue Ailiu. For you, that Is it okay?"

Airu stretched out her other hand and put it on the back of Conan's hand, the child's body temperature was reassuring.The seemingly weak hand gradually exerted force, breaking off Conan's fingers holding her wrist one by one.She met Conan's gaze, and saw herself in his pupil through the lens, without smiling.

"It doesn't matter. In that case, I will bear all, all. Whether it is this person's life or my sins. So..."

She never dared to imagine what kind of life Wen Yueai would choose to stay on the other side.

It takes a lot of courage to give all this back to her.

But admitting that he decided to give up and give it back to her requires equal or even greater courage.

She is not a saint. Although she tries hard to be a good person, it is difficult.He couldn't climb up to keep up with Conan's footsteps, but he couldn't let go of his hand and let himself fall.At this critical point, she has been hesitant to go up.

But now, if he let go of his hand and let himself fall, it would be possible for Kuroba Kaito to rise even a little bit.

"...Even if you are Kidd's accomplice!"

She shook off Conan's hand, took the second step, the third step, and then rushed to the stairwell.

(What can I do...?)

Airu didn't know how to answer Conan.

She didn't know what she could do, maybe even nothing at all.But what does it matter! ?

The air in the emergency escape stairwell, which is usually not used by anyone, is somewhat cloudy, and dust that cannot be discerned by the naked eye is floating around.Even so, knowing that Kidd and the others had just gone up here just now, the slight strange feeling when breathing was also tolerable.Airu quickly climbed the steps, the sound of her little boots stepping on the concrete was as dense as her heartbeat.

As soon as possible, meet him and tell him.

I'm not going back.

I don't want to go anywhere.

I just want to stay by your side, as long as this is fine...!

So, please...don't worry.

The famous detective, who has never been able to reason about the girl's heart, watched Ai Liu's back as she left. The cold feeling from her fingers when she opened herself just now seemed to have not completely dissipated.

In this case, he actually chose that side, true or false.

Although Edogawa Conan never thought of himself as an emotional person, he still couldn't help feeling complicated when he saw Airu open the emergency exit door and disappear inside.

He turned his head slightly, Jiroji was still talking, and the live broadcast completely recorded the scene where Airu rushed out just now.

The detective's intuition told him that tomorrow's first page of the newspaper probably wouldn't be Jirokichi.

×××××××××××××

The three-story staircase was effortless for Airu who had climbed dozens of floors with Kidd. She almost wanted to praise herself as a durable player.Quickly came to the top floor, as expected, the iron door leading to the roof was tightly closed, but the chain-like door lock was hanging on the ground, it was obvious that the first visitor had already unlocked it.

Ailiu put her ear to the door, and could vaguely hear the conversation on the other side.It seems that people are still there, so there must be opportunities.

Well, there is no turning back.Didn't you already make a decision when you entered here?

She told herself word by word in her heart, and exerted force on the palm of her hand holding the doorknob.Finally, finally mustered up the courage to push open the door.

"Um!?"

Following a low cry from outside, she felt something hit the door panel, and her intuition told her that it was a person, but because she couldn't hold back the momentary explosive force when she opened the door, she had already pushed the person to the edge of the door when she realized it.

The bright moonlight sprinkled on the face, and then the unique fresh air on the top floor of the building rushed over.Before she had time to feel this, her gaze immediately locked on the person standing opposite her.

The gentleman in the tall top hat was covered in a huge shadow, and was playing with a small square box in his hand.The sudden uninvited guest and the friction sound when the iron door opened seemed to startle him too, and he blinked his eyes hidden under the brim of his hat.

Wait a minute, shadow...?

For a moment, Airu felt a little disobedient, but before the visual and tactile signals transmitted to the brain could be carefully analyzed, the Kaitou Kidd on the opposite side had already waved at her.

The influence of that hand was above all else, and the brain immediately prioritized analyzing the meaning of this movement, and then Airu ran to his side without hesitation.

As soon as she stood still, Kidd raised his cloak to block her behind, while the man she had knocked down when she pushed the door hard managed to get up again.It seems that he didn't fall down, but he reacted very quickly when he staggered and used his hands to support the wall to maintain his balance.

The cold light of the moon dyed his blond hair a silver-copper color, but a trace of astonishment still flashed across his calm face when he stood up. The person confronting Kidd was naturally Detective Baima.He raised his eyebrows, obviously surprised: "Classmate Wen Yue?"

When Airu was called by her name directly, she felt a little timid in her heart. She hadn't opened her mouth to think about what to say, but the strange thief standing in front of her turned her head and said in a low voice, "Shut up".

Kidd didn't speak, and the volume was very low. He couldn't hear Tan Ying from the opposite side, but Airu could hear it clearly. She couldn't help but look at Kidd in disbelief.Kidd put down his cloak, and stuffed something to her with his hands behind his back.

"Take it and rub it hard against the cloth."

He still didn't speak, only the voice sounded accurately in her ear.D……?Ailiu hid behind him and looked down. In her hand was the palm-sized square box that Kidd was holding just now.The metal black casing mechanically reflects the moonlight, and there are several obvious connections, but there are no buttons or closures to open it.A small round hole on the side is shining red.

Rubbing against that cloth?What cloth?

Thinking of this, she turned her head abruptly, and her brain instantly processed the delayed visual and tactile signals.

It was a huge piece of cloth that surrounded the railings of the entire rooftop, shrouding the rooftop in shadows.It was about two Kidds tall, so she couldn't feel the wind when she came in.

Although it was much taller than the short railing, it was made of solid material, so it stood up straight... Airu tried to push it out, but the cloth was so tight that it didn't budge.At this time, Kidd had already looked back at Tan, and spoke to him.

"Sorry, my assistant is here."

Tan frowned.

"Kidd...! Do you even want to use such a cute girl!"

"Lovely young girl?" Kidd let out a laugh from his throat, sounding like he didn't quite agree with this statement, "Things in the skin of a young girl are sometimes unimaginable."

Airu, who was rubbing the square box on the cloth with her best strength, couldn't help but stare at the back of his head.

Tan calmed down: "...what do you want her to do?"

"Of course an assistant is an assistant's job. Let's not talk about him, aren't you going to catch me? I'm standing here, neither hiding nor running away."

Kidd shrugged.Tan felt quite amused by this, and narrowed his eyes.

"Will you be caught without a fight?"

"of course not."

The two of them seemed to be having afternoon tea in a private garden, chatting about gossip about the wife next door, with a very relaxed tone.However, unlike the completely Kuroba Kaito-like speaking style when confronting Conan, Airu could tell that Kidd was actually very wary of the detective, although he tried his best to maintain his gentleman persona.

He kept his hands behind his back, and continued: "On the contrary, there are now two of us. As long as I subdue you and disguise you as me, I can go down as you and the Nakamori Police Department openly."

And this kind of script?Ai Liu looked surprised.

Because of the constant rubbing, her arms had already started to secrete a large amount of lactic acid, and her arms were already sore right now.What on earth is she doing for this?Although she was puzzled in her heart, besides trusting him at this moment, Ai Liu would not and could not make other choices.

"Even though Killer Kidd is waiting for you below?"

"That child, indeed." Kidd nodded in agreement.At this time, the box in Airu's hand made a "click" sound, and her movements also froze. It turned out that it was the sound of the connection opening.A shiny object fell out of the opening, bounced twice on the ground, and was blocked by Kidd's shoes.

Airu's gaze followed it to Kidd's feet, and Tan, who was also staring at it on the opposite side, seemed to have realized something.In his eerie silence, Kidd bent down and picked up the shiny stone.

"So, I still won't go down." He held his hand, and the gem was shrunk in the snow-white glove.

"……I see."

Baima raised his head, his frowning eyebrows slightly relaxed.

"I was negligent... But even if you opened the box, the situation that you have nowhere to escape is still the same?"

"That's hard to say." Kidd took the opened square box in Eleu's hand, the red light on it was still blinking.He glanced at it and threw the box on the ground, then took out a round capsule made of foam plastic from his pocket, and put "Hoshiotome" in it.

"It's so much easier without the GPS on the box... like this!"

With that said, he threw away the capsule in his hand.

Airu widened her eyes.

The gazes of the three followed the trajectory of the inconspicuous capsule containing the precious starlight sapphire, but it easily crossed the tall thick cloth and disappeared from the sky in the blink of an eye.

Yes.

She read it right, Kidd literally threw it off the roof of a 33-story building...!

"You...!" The man on the opposite side finally stopped hiding his surprise when he reached this step, he took two steps forward impatiently, but stopped immediately.

"Young master, you haven't forgotten the commission you received this time, have you?" Kidd shook his cloak, and the Nakamori Police Department's walkie-talkie appeared in his hand, "The walkie-talkie is also here, don't hurry up, but no one will come from here." The ones who help you recover "Star Otome" in the vast sea of ​​people. "

×××××××××××××

Detective Baima left.Considering that the purpose of his coming from England this time is to keep the "Star Otome" safe, the arrest of Kaito Kidd must be placed in the second place.In order to mobilize the police to search for the location of the gems, and to rely on the strength of Jiroyoshi's subordinates, he had to replace the Nakamori Police Department, who was tied up by Kidd at the moment, to command.

Although he looked at Ailiu with disbelief before leaving, Ailiu felt that she was not guilty at 01:30, but she still obeyed Kidd's order and kept her expressionless face without saying a word.

As soon as the iron gate of the rooftop was closed, the calm smile on Kidd's face disappeared immediately.He walked to a corner of the roof, walked along the piece of cloth and began to observe.

Airu followed behind him like a little tail, hesitated for a while but couldn't help asking: "Where will "Hoshiotome" fall to? "

"Ah, you don't have to worry about that."

Kidd leaned close to the fabric to examine it carefully, and at the same time put his hand on it to confirm something with his own movement.Although he seemed quite concentrated, he answered Airu's question kindly.

"I have arranged for grandpa to stay below, and I have made an appointment with him in advance on the place to throw it. The inside of the capsule is affixed with a super powerful magnet, so grandpa will definitely find it before the police and take it back."

Perhaps because there was no one else around, he also returned to Kaito's casual tone.After finishing speaking, he conveniently threw the walkie-talkie used to remind Tan Tan to Ailiu: "Grandpa has been listening."

...Wait a minute, isn't this the walkie-talkie of the Nakamori Police Department?

Airu caught it in bewilderment, and suddenly saw a familiar Kidd logo on the side of the walkie-talkie.

"…………"

How did he have so many walkie-talkies on him?

The two started from one corner of the roof and walked to the opposite corner. The railing disappeared when it reached the wall.However, Kidd didn't seem to find what he wanted, and he gave up with a sigh.Then the two stood at the corner on the other side. He took out his poker gun, stuck it in the gap between the thick cloth and the wall, and slowly stretched out his hand.

Airu could see that he wanted to cut the cloth with playing cards, but since he wanted to start from the edge, that is to say...

"It turns out that this piece of cloth surrounds the entire rooftop?"

"Certainly not." Kidd cautiously stretched out his hand, "After all, it has been raining heavily recently, and the rain didn't stop until this afternoon...The group of suspicious workers just left before you came up. It is impossible to surround the entire rooftop. There must be ropes on the side to fix it, but I can only guess where I can’t see it..."

As he spoke, he pressed the trigger and started firing the playing cards.The sound of playing cards being ejected can be heard, but after a few rounds, it still seems to miss.

Even if he is the all-powerful Kaitou Kidd, he can only test his luck in the case of completely blind shooting.He maintained a somewhat funny posture and still changed his position a little bit to shoot. Airu waited patiently, and continued to ask by the way: "Speaking of which, why can rubbing this piece of cloth open that strange box?"

"It's static electricity. This material...nylon is quite wear-resistant, probably used by White Horse to deal with my poker. But because it is super easy to charge positively, so the static electricity resistance is not good, and the broken box can be opened by remote control Again, the GPS is full of precision parts..." Kidd almost stuffed half of his body into the gap between the fabric and the wall, still groping out, the top hat on his head tilted because of his movements, and Ariu raised his hand to help He straightened it up, "...Thanks, it's just that I didn't have a chance to try because he looked at me."

While explaining, suddenly his shoulders shook, as if the shot poker had reacted.He didn't continue to explain, and started to focus on firing the playing cards there, and sharp voices sounded one after another. After a few seconds, accompanied by a huge friction sound, the nylon cloth covering the roof began to slide down slowly.

Kidd asked Airu to give him a hand, and finally stood up without twisting his waist.The long-awaited breeze blew through the hair of the two, and at this time, a report came from the intercom in Airu's hand that Terai had recovered the gem.

Kidd put away his poker gun and moved his shoulders.

"Okay, let's slip away too. The detective doesn't need to look for gems, he will find them soon, and the fool will go back. Let's go straight from here, go to the blue parrot and meet Grandpa to get the gems. Then you... ..."

"I don't need it."

"what?"

"I'm not going back."

Kidd stared at her blankly.

"I'm not going back, you..."

The wind disturbed Ai's bangs.

The cold wind of this season announces that the end of this winter is coming quietly, and school will start in two days.In February, when the vegetation was recovering, the first Valentine's Day since she dated Kaito had already been circled on the calendar.

For the first time, she announced her decision to this boy so loudly and uprightly: "I want to be with you, always together!"

Only one end of the huge nylon cloth was still tied and fluttered in the air, undulating and slapping towards the opposite direction of the building.

At the same time as it rolled out the vortex of gusts of wind, in the blink of an eye, the white shadow had left a very faint trace like a trail cloud and disappeared into the sky.

The author has something to say:

A chapter worth celebrating, not only is Ai Liu making her choice, but more importantly

Finally, I don’t need to look at various words such as polyethylene and polyamide to check their properties!

To stop other policemen from following them is actually to prevent Kidd from sneaking in and slipping away from the rooftop. This is also because there is no place to insert explanations in the text (laughs).

As an author who has spent three years writing here, I am very moved. Please use 300 words to analyze Kaito’s psychological activities at the moment.
