The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

As the power was lost, the vault fell into darkness.

Kaitou Kidd was surprised for a moment, and in a second he changed into Kaitou Kidd's white shirt, and took out the night vision goggles he had prepared long ago from his fake chest.

"Hehe~ This doesn't bother me..."

Putting on the night vision goggles, Kaito Kid's vision was reopened, and the originally pure white vault was enveloped in a gray-green haze.

He couldn't help but wonder why there was a sudden power outage at this time?

Was it because the casino saw him entering the vault to obstruct his view, or was it a power outage planned by the Phantom Thief Crow?

Kaitou Kid thought for a moment, but gave up thinking about the cause and effect for just one second.

Regardless, the gem is now in front of you.

As long as you take the gems and leave from here, you will win.

Kaitou Kid smiled and reached out to continue to pick up the gems on the table.

But when he touched it, there was only an empty metal box, and the gems that were placed in it just now were gone.

"Um?!"

Kaitou Kidd was shocked. His hand didn't touch the gem just now. How could the gem be missing?

It's the Phantom Thief Black Crow!

Kaitou Kidd immediately became alert and looked around nervously, trying to find the figure of Kaitou Black Crow in the dark vision.

Suddenly, a strange figure came into his eyes.

Night vision goggles cannot work very well in a completely closed and lightless environment. Kaito Kidd could only see a hazy, wide shadow standing in the innermost corner of the vault.

And in the center of the shadow was a fiery red light divided into three petals.

The fiery red dots of light stared hatefully at the humans opposite them like hell dogs.

Is it the light emitted by night vision goggles?

But when did he come in?

Kaitou Kid narrowed his eyes slightly, guessing that the person standing opposite the vault was the Kaitou Crow from Las Vegas, and was surprised by the opponent's timing of sneaking into the vault.

But after only a few seconds of the silent confrontation between the two sides, Kaitou Kidd noticed something was wrong.

A disgusting stench began to float in the air, making his nose with a keen sense of smell twitch.

In the corner of the vault, the shadow kept making creepy sounds.

Sigh...

hiss--

Hey, hey...

hiss--

It was like the rhythmic tapping of some hard object on the metal floor, accompanied by a scraping sound.

Kaitou Kidd felt inexplicably uneasy, his brows furrowed, and the blood in his body became cold.

All kinds of strange phenomena made a new idea emerge in his mind.

Is that the Phantom Thief Crow in the corner?

The hazy figure was obviously much wider than a human figure, enough to hold three of him.

No, continuing this stalemate is not an option...

Kaitou Kidd was worried, and just when he was about to ask "Who are you?", the shadow in the vault suddenly moved.

The shadow slowly approached Kaitou Kidd, and its black outline appeared in the gray-green field of vision.

At this moment, Kaitou Kidd finally saw clearly what was confronting him.

That's not human at all!

That's a black crow!

A huge black crow!

Looking at the "black crow", Kaito Kid's mouth gradually grew bigger.

…

The casino above is still open for business.

Although it is now 11:40, it will soon be the crime time announced by Kaito Kid and Kaito Crow, but real gamblers don't care about thieves.

However, if the casino opened a bet on whether Kaito Kid would win, Kaito Crow would win, or the casino would win, they would be more interested.

And even if they wanted to watch the excitement, the casino also sent four people to guard the mahogany door entering the backstage of the casino, as if no one was allowed to enter.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the gaming table which was relatively close to the mahogany door.

A man in a brown trench coat suddenly stood up from the gambling table and shouted: "You guy is cheating! I caught the cheat!"

"What are you talking about? I didn't!" The man in the jacket on the other side immediately slapped the table and stood up to retort.

"Stop quibbling, I saw it all just now! You pulled out the card hidden in your sleeve!"

"You! How can you denounce someone's innocence out of thin air!"

At the gambling table, two guests who were playing poker suddenly started arguing, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Upon seeing this, the dealer immediately stepped forward to stop the situation to prevent the conflict between the two parties from further expanding.

However, both of them had bad tempers, especially the man in the trench coat who accused others of cheating. He rushed directly in front of the man in the jacket and grabbed the collar of his jacket.

"You are cheating! Give me my money back! Give me back!"

The man in the trench coat roared angrily, but the man in the jacket did not show weakness.

"Damn it! You bastard, look at me beating you until you have teeth all over the floor!"

The man in the jacket punched the man in the trench coat on the cheek, and a dent visible to the naked eye immediately appeared on the man's face.

"Okay, you're the one who wants to fight, so I won't be rude!"

The man in the trench coat retaliated with a punch, hitting the man in the jacket's left eye with a straight punch.

In this way, the conflict between the two parties directly developed into a physical conflict, and there was no possibility of giving in to each other.

"Don't fight! Don't fight!"

The croupier in the casino wanted to step forward to start a fight, but someone accidentally punched the croupier on the nose, causing blood to flow from both nostrils.

"Ah~blood——! I'm bleeding!"

The croupier screamed at the mere sight of blood.

These commotions occurred in front of the four security personnel at the mahogany door.

The four people looked at each other, and three of them decided to go over to calm the matter, leaving one person to continue to stand guard.

At this moment, Qin Zhibo, who was hiding nearby, took out his flash gun, pointed it at the head of the last security guard, and fired.

Four bullets from one gun were fired into his head at the same time.

——They don’t have enough people, so go and have a look.

——The door is locked anyway, and he is nearby.

——There are no suspicious persons around.

——Quick solution can better ensure safety

The security guard didn't know why he suddenly had these wild thoughts in his mind, but after thinking about it for a moment, it did make sense.

Hurry up and help your companions resolve the commotion, and the others can return to their duties quickly.

If Kaito Crow or Kidd breaks in while I'm guarding it alone, and I can't hold on and let them pass, I'll still have to take the blame in the end.

Besides, I am just a security guard, how can I possibly guard an internationally famous thief?

It’s only a few thousand dollars a month, why are you risking your life?

With the idea of ​​​​making the boss understand what "value for money" means, the remaining security guard quickly ran to the gaming table and started working on his old job.

Facing the unguarded mahogany door, Qin Zhibo took a deep breath and kept repeating the idea of ​​"particleization" in his head.

As it entered the particle state, a translucent figure gradually appeared in the originally empty air.

He first inserted his hand into the mahogany door, then his right foot, then his torso... and finally his body passed through it!

But no one in the casino saw such an amazing scene.

…

Entering the backstage of the casino, Qin Zhibo quickly arrived at the elevator according to the map provided by Kuroyu Qianying.

Elevator doors require authentication to open.

Qin Zhibo did not have an identity authentication card, but fortunately he had reached level 5 of particle training after two days of training.

His body once again entered a translucent state and he entered the elevator using particles.

This elevator has only two destinations, with only up and down buttons.

Qin Zhibo decisively pressed the down button, and the elevator began to go down.

The elevator descended slowly, and leisurely music was playing in the elevator room. The moment of relaxation reminded Qin Zhibo of the commotion above.

The man in the trench coat who caused the commotion was, of course, "Qin Zhibo" himself, who was controlled by Minase Harumu.

He first used the wireless microphone clipped on the decoy doll to speak, causing a dispute.

After that, it was up to Minase Youmu to do the fighting. Although the girl was not good at this, there were people around to stop her, and the man in the jacket would not beat up the bait doll's health bar.

Afterwards, Minase Youmeng could pretend that his mouth was broken by the other party, and remained silent until he finished the work.

"Ding--"

The elevator beeped and the elevator door opened.

Qin Zhibo took off the [Lord of the Rings], released his invisibility, and appeared openly in the corridor of the underground vault in the form of a strange thief crow.

This scene was also captured by the surveillance camera in the corridor.

"Report! Another person was found in the corridor of the vault!"

Lloyd Blake and Snake looked at the screen next to them and saw the Phantom Thief Crow suddenly appearing in the corridor.

"The Phantom Thief Crow!"

"When did he break in?"

Snake looked shocked. He was just looking at the scene of the vault where Kidd was trapped, and didn't notice what was happening outside.

Lloyd Blake, who was sitting on a chair next to him, also stood up from his chair with a serious face.

He had already had people weld the ventilation ducts into the vault in advance.

He also updated the information on the identity authentication card. Now in the entire casino, only the card he issued to Kuroba Qiankage can enter the vault.

And this card is now in the hands of Kaitou Kidd, and the elevator did not send out a warning signal of being violently damaged.

Lloyd frowned, thought for a moment and then ordered.

"Open the vault door and turn off the hallway lights."

"Hello!"

Snake next to him didn't understand what he heard, and asked in an urgent tone, "If you open the vault door, won't the Kaitou Kidd run out?"

"you shut up!"

Lloyd turned around and yelled, then ordered his staff, "Do as I say!"

Snake was reprimanded so much that he lost his dignity. After all, he was considered a minor leader in the Beast Brotherhood, and there were so many younger brothers watching behind him.

But there was no way, this was the territory of the Starry Sky Wisdom Cult, and the Starry Sky Wisdom Cult and the Beast Brotherhood were allies, so there was nothing he could do.

As the operators continued to turn off the power, the entire corridor of the underground vault fell into darkness.

Lloyd smiled ferociously, staring at the darkness and murmuring in his mouth.

"Great Nyarlathotep, the wisdom of the stars prays to you..."

"Like the Night Hunters, execute our enemies!"

…

In the underground vault, Qin Zhibo walked towards the inside of the vault in the form of a strange thief crow.

Minase Yomu and Kuroba Chikage both said that the vault where the "Black Crow in the Night" is stored is located at the innermost part.

eng——

At this time, the power suddenly disappeared and the white light in the corridor disappeared instantly.

The surroundings were pitch dark, and Qin Zhibo was a little surprised. He immediately replaced the field of view of the night vision device, and the three-meter range around him was replaced with a gray-green field of view.

As for the places further away, it was still dark.

Did the casino turn off the lights?

Or was it Kaitou Kidd?

Qin Zhibo pushed his perception ability to the limit, not letting go of any tiny sound in the air.

At this moment, the sound of friction from the metal shaft came from the front.

Qin Zhibo immediately became alert and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a white-green metal door frame flash past, and the door of the vault opened.

But after waiting for two seconds, no one came out.

what is this? Please enter the urn?

Qin Zhibo tentatively took two steps forward, his eyes gradually seeing clearly inside the vault.

Kaitou Kidd, who was dressed all in white, was seen stunned in place, staring intently at the innermost part of the vault.

Qin Zhibo also followed his line of sight and saw that existence.

It was a maniacal being full of malevolence, a bloated winged monster.

His whole body was pitch-black and abominable, and his head seemed to have three fiery red eyes that were split open and seemed to be burning with flames.

Qin Zhibo: Will -20

Qin Zhibo's body shuddered, and his brain was completely unaware of the stench that crazily penetrated his nostrils.

He couldn't believe his eyes. There was a monster in the vault.

At this time, this ancient and dark existence is approaching Kaitou Kidd.

As for Kaitou Kidd, his body was stuck in place and unable to move due to shock, uneasiness and fear.

In just a few seconds, his forehead was covered with fine cold sweat, and his nimble fingers were trembling.

He couldn't believe what he was seeing even more, his mouth gradually opened wide, and the fear in his eyes was not concealed at all.

How can it be……

The Phantom Thief Crow is actually a "crow"!

Seeing the dark monster walking towards him, his body seemed to be under the confinement magic of Koizumi Anko, and he stood there unable to move.

The giant thing in front of him not only emitted a foul smell, but also had hot air waves blowing across his face.

how did you do that?

Move!

hateful! Move your body quickly!

Kaitou Kid gritted his teeth and was in a fierce struggle inside.

The rational part of his brain had sensed that danger was coming, but fear made the irrational part take over, depriving his body of control.

This is the most powerful magic he has ever seen in his life, comparable to the illusion of the international killer Spider.

Just two meters away from the source of the fishy heat, a figure suddenly flashed in from the vault door, carrying Kaitou Kid's body and ran out.

Before Kaitou Kid could realize what was going on, he found that his waist was stuck on a strong and broad shoulder.

"Hello……"

Kaitou Kidd turned his head and looked up, and found that the person carrying him was wearing a black robe, a black hat, and a black cloak. Although he was also dressed in black, he was still in human form.

Under the monocle of an elegant gentleman, there is a face as handsome as a male model, with a particularly delicate mustache under his nose.

Only at this moment did he react.

"You are the Phantom Thief Crow!"

"Then what was that just now?!"
