The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

In the hotel room, Qin Zhibo and his "spot", the stand-in messenger, were still practicing particleization.

From afternoon practice to evening, the particleization skill has been improved to level 3, and now I can pass through the 0.5cm thick glass door in the bathroom.

The density of glass is 2.5, which is slightly higher than that of stone. It can almost be regarded as a substitute for stone.

But it is still far from enough to pass through a door made of steel at this level.

At this time, Qin Zhibo thought of Sawada Hiroki who was far away in another world.

If Hiroki Sawada has the power of next-generation artificial intelligence, he can easily crack the casino's security system and enter the vault without even needing an identity authentication card.

Unfortunately, the announcement time is tomorrow at 12 midnight, and it is too late to return to Japan now.

Qin Zhibo also asked Kuroyu Qianying why he didn't choose daytime. Doesn't that "black crow in the night" have to be exposed to light all the time?

The explanation given by Kuroba Chikage is that the casino city of Las Vegas is a city that never sleeps. Even at midnight, there is enough light over the city.

And because the casino refused the police access to the vault to capture the Phantom Thief Crow, the Las Vegas police would place large searchlights on high-rise buildings outside the casino.

With the light of these searchlights, there is no need to worry about insufficient light.

This is why Chikage Kuroba used her identity as the Phantom Thief Crow to give the police the impression that the Phantom Thief Crow can use gliders.

Qin Zhibo was still practicing particleization when the music program on the TV in the living room suddenly stopped and turned into an urgent news break.

"An emergency news break. At 7:20 tonight, multiple citizens witnessed Kid the Phantom Thief appearing in the sky over Las Vegas and took a video..."

A blurry, shaky video popped up on the TV screen. The sounds in the video included the screams of passers-by, and the main character of the video was a small white dot that slowly crossed across the night sky.

Immediately afterwards, the news anchor returned to the TV screen again and continued reporting.

"At the same time, the Las Vegas Police Department received a warning letter from Kaito Kidd. The letter stated that Kaitou Kidd will receive the black diamond 'Black Crow in the Night' at midnight tomorrow..."

"This preview time coincides with the recent Phantom Thief Crow..."

"A spokesman for the Las Vegas Police Department stated that the police are currently in contact with Interpol..."

Qin Zhibo stood in front of the TV and saw the news.

It is now 8:10, half an hour has passed since Kaito Kidd's first test flight.

As for the high-profile appearance in the public eye before the crime even started, Qin Zhibo also guessed the reason.

If you just send a smiley warning letter to the police station, the police will most likely think it is a prank. After all, Kaitou Kidd has not committed any crime outside of Japan since his "resurrection".

There are even rumors that Kaitou Kidd is actually Japanese and even lives in Tokyo, Japan.

Because the "resurrected" Kaitou Kidd's first show was in Tokyo, Japan, and the activities were almost all in the Tokyo area.

But this statement is not advisable. After all, Kaito Kidd first appeared in Paris, France 18 years ago.

"Forget it, let's continue training with me..."

After Qin Zhibo finished reading the news, he turned around and continued to train his skills.

But compared with Qin Zhibo, Nakamori Ginzo, who is far away in Tokyo, Japan, cannot remain calm.

He had a day off today and was sitting at home with his daughter Aoko, watching TV and having lunch. He happened to see the latest developments of Kaitou Kidd being reported on the TV news.

"...a spokesman for the Las Vegas Police Department stated that the Las Vegas Police will do whatever it takes to bring Kidd down on American soil..."

Hearing this, Nakamori Ginzo, who was still chewing vegetable leaves in his mouth, was so angry that he immediately slapped the table and stood up.

"No! I'm going to Las Vegas!"

"Kaitou Kidd is mine!"

Nakamori Aoko, who was standing next to him, heard this and quickly advised: "Dad, your English is not good, you went to the United States and you are not familiar with the place, how can you catch Kaitou Kidd?"

"But..." Nakamori Ginzo was still unwilling.

"It's nothing to worry about. Kaitou Kidd will definitely not be caught so easily. After all, Dad has been catching him for so many years, right?"

Nakamori Aoko's words woke up the dreamer. What her daughter said made sense.

If Kaitou Kidd was caught by outsiders at once, wouldn't that be equivalent to negating his 18 years of hard work?

I'm not a loser, so Kaitou Kidd isn't a loser either.

Kaito Kidd is not a waste, so he will not be caught by the Las Vegas police.

The only one who can catch Kaitou Kidd is me!

Thinking of this, Ginzo Nakamori instantly regained his composure, tilted his head and looked at the time, mentally calculating the time at midnight in Las Vegas, USA.

But at this moment, he found that there was one person missing at the dinner table.

"Aoko, why isn't Kaito here?"

Ever since Kaito's mother traveled abroad, Kuroba Kaito would often come to Nakamori's house to have dinner on his days off. In the past two months, Nakamori Ginzo had become a habit, as if he had been doing this for many years.

"Kaito went to Las Vegas to meet his mother. Didn't I tell you yesterday?"

"profound……"

Nakamori Ginzo lowered his head and thought for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed and he realized something.

"Aoko, does Kaito know anything about Kaito Kid?"

"It's not bad, we occasionally discuss it in school..."

"That's okay! Aoko, call Kaito right away."

Qingzi, who was eating, looked up at his suddenly serious father and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Dad?"

Nakamori Ginzo said with a serious face: "Since Kaito is in Las Vegas now, let Kaito record a video of Kaito Kid's crime for me."

Aoko was speechless for a while, "Dad~ I'm traveling, and it's such a dangerous place. Why do you want Kaito to join in the fun?"

Nakamori Ginzo put his face in front of Aoko and shook his head repeatedly, "It's not dangerous, it's not dangerous. Kaitou Kidd never kills anyone. I guarantee this with my personality."

"Besides, I did this to catch Kaitou Kidd as soon as possible. I believe Kaito can understand my good intentions."

Seeing her father talk about this, Nakamori Aoko could only agree.

"Okay, let me give it a try..."

…

Las Vegas, Star Hotel.

Kuroba Kaito sat comfortably on the sofa, happily watching the big news he had made.

In just one hour, the news of Kid's appearance in Las Vegas appeared on various TV channels, taking up normal program time.

Some channels have even begun to broadcast the special program "Kidd vs. Crow" in a live broadcast, taking advantage of the topic to earn a lot of ratings.

"Kaitan Kidd and Kaitou Crow chose the same time to steal from the same target. What is their purpose?"

"Let's ask Mr. Jimmy Carter, professor of criminology at the University of Nevada, to explain to us..."

A paunchy man in a brown suit came from off-screen, shook hands with the presenter, and sat down in a chair.

It can be seen that this program was temporarily produced by the TV station to gain popularity, and many of the lines and actions are unskilled.

But this does not affect Kaito Kuroba from watching the show with interest.

This can be regarded as some of Kuroba Kaito's little hobbies, which is to read the reviews given to him by netizens on the Internet.

This process is quite interesting, like a magician reviewing the applause given to him by the audience after a magic show.

In contrast, he rarely watches TV, because TV is the outlet for mainstream media, which naturally criticizes him in various ways.

As the heir to the cultural IP of "Kaitou Kidd", Kuroba Kaito watched with interest as the two middle-aged men on TV speculated about his relationship with Kaitou Crow.

As expected of a professor of criminology at the University of Nevada, the incident only took place for more than an hour, and he summarized the following possibilities.

1. Kaitou Kidd and Kaitou Crow are in a competitive relationship. They work together to snatch the "Black Crow in the Night"

Second, Kaitou Crow is the imitator of Kaito Kidd, because Kaitou Crow only appeared recently, while Kaitou Kidd appeared 18 years ago. Kaitou Kidd wanted to use this method to meet his imitator brother.

Third, Kaitou Kidd and Kaitou Crow are in a group and want to use this method to achieve some ulterior purpose.

"So Mr. Carter, which of these three possibilities do you think is the most likely?" the host asked.

Jimmy Carter shook his big belly and said: "According to my current analysis, I personally think that the most likely thing is..."

Kuroba Kaito was watching with interest when the phone suddenly rang.

He quickly used the remote control to turn down the volume, picked up the phone and saw that it was a Japanese number, and the number looked familiar.

"Hello?"

"Is it Kaito? I'm Aoko..."

"Qingzi, what's the matter? If you want some specialties, I'll bring them to you when I get back..."

Kuroba Kaito wanted to deal with Chagang quickly, but Aoko told Kuroba Kaito what he had just been asked by Nakamori Ginzo.

"How's it going? Kaito, is it convenient?"

Kuroba Kaidou rolled his eyes and replied: "Okay, let's do that. Is there nothing else?"

Kuroba Kaito couldn't wait to see what the criminology professor on TV said, but Nakamori Aoko's voice became twisted at this time.

"Kaito, if you meet a beautiful girl in Las Vegas, you..."

"I?"

"...Forget it, you rat tail juice, I'm dead!"

"Hello? Hello!"

Before Kuroba Kaito could ask about the beautiful girl he met, Aoko on the other side hung up the phone.

Kuroba Kaito glanced at the phone, muttered "That's weird," and quickly turned on the TV sound.

But at this time, the TV host had already shaken hands with the professor, stood up and said goodbye to the audience.

"Then viewers, let us wait and see what the outcome of the confrontation between the two monster thieves will be tomorrow!"

Kuroba Kaito: "Gan!"

…

The next day.

Las Vegas has been flooded with tourists since morning.

Most of this was because the news about Kid the Phantom Thief appearing in Las Vegas was broadcast on Pan American TV last night, so people came all the way to chase stars.

Unlike Kaitou Crow, who just debuted recently, Kaitou Kidd is an old internet celebrity in the thieves world, and his global fan appeal is not random.

Kuroba Kaito stood on the hotel balcony, looking at the endless flow of vehicles downstairs, feeling very happy.

After a while, Terai Huangnosuke came back from outside and brought a set of women's clothes.

"These are the brands that Madam usually wears. I have bought them while hiding my identity..."

Since I’m going to cosplay Kuroba Chikage tonight, I need to get the costume done first.

Kuroba Kaito quickly closed the curtains, unpacked the package, tore off the labels, and put on women's clothing one after another, finally a black evening dress.

Soon, a brand new female version of Kuroba Kaito appeared.

Then put on Kuroba Chikage's human skin mask, and Kuroba Kaito becomes a real "pseudo-girl".

After twirling around in front of the full-length mirror, Kuroba Kaito was very satisfied with his skills as a transvestite. It was his most successful disguise as a female character.

“Seamless~”

Next, Kuroba Kaito checked his various equipment again. During the test flight yesterday, everything was about the same and there was nothing wrong with it.

After changing back into his original clothes, Kuroba Kaito moved to the window and couldn't help but think of tonight's opponent.

Phantom Thief Crow, what are you doing now?

…

At this time, in another room of the Starry Sky Hotel, Qin Zhibo was also checking the box just delivered by Kuroyu Qianying.

Opening the box, there were all kinds of Kaito Kidd's equipment inside, but they were all black.

Black cloak, black paraglider folder, black top hat, black suit...

There is a lot of equipment inside, but there is no poker gun, the iconic equipment of Kaito Kidd.

Qin Zhibo put on these equipment and put on the human skin mask that Heiyu Qianying used when stealing things, and immediately transformed into a gentleman in black.

"Black Feather Thief...is this what he looks like?"

Qin Zhibo looked at himself in the mirror. His handsome face was sharp and angular, and his tall suit outlined his figure like a male model. This was made by Chikage Kuroba based on her husband's appearance.

In addition to these, Kuroba Chikage also sent a voice changer.

The voice changer is tied around the neck and is almost identical to the collar-type voice changer invented by Dr. Ali. Qin Zhibo seriously doubts that it is the same model.

But Qin Zhibo didn't need this, he could just change his voice, and there was no need to reveal his identity to Kuroba Kaito anyway.

After finishing his outfit for tonight, Qin Zhibo changed back into his normal clothes and put away his black shirt.

Now, after working hard for most of last night, he has cultivated his particle skills to level 4, and he will definitely reach level 5 before midnight.

With level 5 particleization, it will not be a problem to pass through the iron gate that is not too thick.

But the problem is that Qin Zhibo is now worried about what if he doesn't withdraw in time and is locked in by the casino's security system?

Even if you can pass through the iron gate, you still need preparation time to enter the particle state, and you can't just leave.

Thinking in his mind, Qin Zhibo decided to try the Kunyang people's weapon-the disintegration ray gun.

Although this disintegration ray gun is high-tech, Qin Zhibo studied it carefully after returning and found that this thing is actually not too advanced.

The bullets needed inside are actually electricity.
