Conan’s Corpse Picker

After removing the cover, Kidd went out in no hurry.

He lay down at the mouth of the pipe and raised his hand to hold an instrument in front of his eyes.

Looking through the special lenses, countless intersecting light beams gradually emerged in the originally empty exhibition hall. Had he just walked over, Kidd had no doubt that the sirens would soon be ringing throughout the building.

Kidd: "..." This density is too exaggerated. Search Section 2 has a lot of money...

He took off the instruments from his eyes and did not try to break out of the dense beam of light. Instead, he raised his head and looked diagonally upward.

The pipe opening on the wall where Kidd was located was right in the middle of the wall, some distance from the ground, and not close to the ceiling either.

However, for Kidd, this distance is no difficulty.

He lowered his hand and wiped it from his waist, and soon a brand new rope gun appeared in his hand.

——Just now, he was using this black technology rope gun to run around and observe the surrounding buildings. But at that time, he bumped into Jiang Xia who was riding a black panther, and the rope gun was probably broken by the leopard's sharp teeth or claws... Fortunately, Terai Huangnosuke was not far away, and Kidd got the spare one from him equipment.

Thinking of Jiang Xia and his magical physique, Kidd sighed with complicated emotions.

Then he didn't think much about it and focused his attention on the present moment very professionally.

He raised the muzzle of the rope gun, pointed it at the ceiling, and pulled the trigger.

With a deliberately weakened ejection sound, the tapered hook flew out with a long rope, opened like a sharp claw in mid-air, and was firmly nailed to the top of the vacant exhibition hall.

Kidd tugged on it to make sure it was tight. Then press another button on the gun.

The rope gun took him up quickly. In an instant, Kidd left the mouth of the pipe suspended in mid-air, avoided the spider-like dense detection devices below, and reached the place close to the ceiling.

After putting away the rope gun, Kidd raised his hand and grabbed the exposed pipe at the top, easily fixing himself in mid-air.

At the same time he looked up.

Separated by a medium-thin floor, above was his target today—the stone statue of the goddess and the gemstone bracelet on her wrist.

...it all seemed too easy.

Kidd groped for the secret compartment leading to the exhibition hall on the upper floor, and murmured softly: "Isn't it true that there are no people here? Then the next thing will be too simple..." Huh?

Midway through his words, Kidd suddenly stopped.

——On the pipe above his head, there was an extra cat at some point.

The cat was lying on the crossbar, looking at him and talking to himself. I don't know why, Kidd always felt that this cat had a disgusting expression of "looking at a retarded person".

Kidd stopped muttering: "...?" Where did the cat come from in the exhibition hall?

This cat has quite a lot of expressions...but this is probably an illusion caused by the angle.

Just as he was thinking secretly, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from diagonally below.

——Someone followed Kidd's soliloquy just now and said, "Unfortunately, you have no chance to think about the 'next' thing."

"..."

A talking person is far more dangerous than a cat.

Kidd became alert and turned around quickly.

Looking around, he saw his classmate - and a well-known returnee detective, Detective White Horse.

The moment Kidd turned around.

Bai Ma Tan raised his hand and clicked a button.

laugh--

laugh--

The sound of gas leakage sounded one after another.

The mechanism was activated, and sleeping gas was sprayed out from all directions.

"Based on the size and airtightness of this exhibition hall, in 17.58 seconds, this place will be filled with hypnotic gas." In the smoke, Detective White Horse looked up at Kidd on the ceiling, showing a confident smile, "Don't do it again You are dying, surrender as soon as possible - tonight, your acrobatics will come to an end here."

Bai Ma Tan used the air he had taken a deep breath to finish all his lines gracefully.

Then he held his breath, raised his hand, and prepared to put on the gas mask in his hand.

According to his plan, as long as he waits for a minute, he can easily pick up Kidd, who was knocked down by the sleeping gas and unable to escape, and achieve the golden achievement of "capturing Phantom Thief Kidd" that has stumped countless police officers.

However, before Hakuba could take a breath of air through the gas mask.

Kidd, who was hanging on the ceiling, suddenly raised his hand and shot.

The bullets fired from the magic gun are not bullets. A playing card came through the air and hit the gas mask in the white horse detective's hand.

Baima's hand shook, and the mask was blown away by a lot of kinetic energy. It hit the wall, bounced back, and finally fell to the floor between the two of them.

Kidd released his grip on the top pipe and flew towards the gas mask. At the same time, he showed a confident smile similar to that of a high school detective, and refuted what Detective White Horse had just said: "Tonight is still very long, and it is too early to predict my end now."

On the ceiling irons.

A cat in the dark clouds and snow stuck out its head and silently looked at the two people below who were rushing toward the gas masks at the same time: "..."

It’s begun, it’s begun, the peak showdown between the two middle school boys...

It's a pity that the cat's claws can't hold the camera steady. Otherwise, if there were a live broadcast here, it would definitely have higher ratings than the boring live broadcast above.

Since you can't live stream, maybe you can join? It's too boring to watch all the time.

Thinking this, Jiang Xia stood up, stared at the mask, and moved the cat's claws that had been lying down for a long time.

…

In the exhibition hall above.

The Zhongshan Police Department and reporters had no idea what was happening beneath their feet.

"There are only 10 seconds left before Kidd's announcement! - Will the Phantom Thief arrive as promised, or will he be scared off by the fierce battle? The result will be announced soon!" The reporter said while looking at the carefully crafted work in his hand. The watch that had been adjusted to the time read the countdown excitedly, "9, 8..."

The Zhongsen Police Department looked up at the statue of the goddess, moved their shoulders, and prepared to arrest someone.

But at this time, his subordinates suddenly ran over in a hurry: "Police Department, there is an intruder in the exhibition hall downstairs - the monitoring equipment has been triggered!"

"What?!" Zhongsen Police Department was startled.

He remembered what he had said to Detective White Horse just now, "Kid would never be stupid enough to invade the exhibition hall from below." He fell into silence for a moment: "..."

... Is the feng shui bad tonight, or is his mouth open? Whatever you say comes from what you say.

If I yelled "I will definitely catch Kaitou Kidd" now, maybe it would have a miraculous effect?

…

Downstairs next to the wall.

The equipment that Baima Tan obtained was incredibly efficient, and the gas quickly filled the entire space.

Almost at the same time, Kidd and Hakuba Tan rushed towards the gas masks on the ground from two completely opposite directions.

The white horse detective visually inspected Kidd's situation: he was 90 centimeters away from the mask, and Kidd was 95 centimeters away. Both sides were attacking at the same speed...the gas mask was his!
