Chapter 124 The Magician at the End of the Century 3
Of course, when Ayako saw the scene where Su Xingbai passionately confessed his love to Xiaolan on the ship, she thought it was incredibly romantic, but after learning that the person was Shinichi Kudo...
The vinegar jar was completely overturned.
She ignored him for several days, and it took his persistent pleading to finally coax Ayako back to her senses.
Time slips away quietly.
It quickly reached around 7:20.
A white figure appeared at 7:20 p.m., arriving precisely at the top of the Tongtian Pavilion.
The top of Tsutenkaku Tower was specifically used to predict real-time weather.
night sky.
A half-moon, paired with a sky full of twinkling stars, and a white dove suddenly streaks across the night sky.
It flew straight to the top of the Tongtian Pavilion and landed safely on a white glove.
The person standing here is none other than Phantom Thief Kid. He takes the object from the pigeon's claws, then releases the pigeon, spreading his arms wide and shouting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the show is about to begin!" she said, pressing a button.
Fireworks burst forth at Osaka Castle in an instant.
As the fireworks ended, Kidd pressed another button.
Suddenly, the substation exploded, and the power supply to all the buildings disappeared in an instant, turning Osaka Castle into a city without light.
A few seconds later, only a handful of lights were relit.
Kogoro Mouri and Shiro Suzuki found a quiet spot and leisurely sat facing each other, drinking sake.
He would occasionally make a joke about the fireworks outside.
Because of the power outage, traffic lights in the city could no longer be used, directly causing traffic congestion on the streets.
Fortunately, large hospitals have backup power supplies, and the hospital was soon brightly lit again.
This allowed Kid to successfully obtain the Emperor's Easter Egg. After obtaining it, he saw Conan rush into the house.
Kidd pulled out his pistol and fired at the ground. A cloud of smoke exploded, and for a moment, visibility was zero.
After the smoke cleared, Kid had already left on his hang glider. Conan, meanwhile, got into Heiji Hattori's car and gave chase.
Just as Kid successfully obtained the Emperor's Easter Egg and was on his way, Conan and Heiji Hattori were still relentlessly chasing after him.
Su Xingbo had been lying in ambush in Osaka Bay for some time, intending to wait for the rabbit to run into his trap.
Oh, by the way, the person he was standing on had already been killed by him.
I never expected to run into a fellow professional doing this job. It's a pity I arrived earlier than you; you're really late to the party.
Also, your gun is terrible; it's nowhere near as good as his.
soon.
Su Xingbai then saw a white glider appear in the sky not far away and fly towards him.
Su Xingbo gave a wicked smile and took out his little MG3, aiming it at Kidd's hang glider.
After he got closer, I didn't expect him to thoughtfully lower the altitude. Were you afraid that my skills weren't good enough to knock it down?
"Da da da, da da da, da da da, da da da."
Relentless bullets fired in Kid's direction, and Kid instinctively dodged, avoiding the first wave of attacks.
But then more bullets came, his glider was riddled with holes, and he was unfortunately shot in the abdomen.
Su Xingbai shouted at the top, "Throw down the Emperor's Easter Egg and I'll let you go. Otherwise, you'll sink to the bottom of the sea with this egg."
Seeing that the attack had stopped, Kidd quickly dropped the Easter Egg. Running for his life was the priority, and he didn't think about anything else at that moment. Getting out of there as soon as possible was the most important thing.
If he doesn't get treatment soon, he's really going to die.
Su Xingbo nodded in satisfaction. "You're quite savvy, not bad at all."
The Emperor's Easter Egg landed safely in the net he had prepared beforehand. He opened the box and saw that the Emperor's Easter Egg was not broken, which put his mind at ease.
Then it was directly stored in the system space.
He then poured some fuel at the site of the body, lit it, and left in a nonchalant manner.
Now that he has the item, he doesn't mind helping Kid a little more by attracting Conan over here, as a reward for his graciousness.
At this moment, Conan, who had chased all the way here, also saw Kid being shot and escaping, but his attention was drawn to the raging fire on the bridge.
There was no other reason than that Conan, upon seeing this scene, was reminded once again of the tragic state of Kudo Yu's reckless actions.
On the other hand, it's possible that someone above shot Kidd, and then they got into an internal conflict over the spoils.
He rushed to the bridge and saw a person whose face was burned beyond recognition, with flames still burning.
With a livid face, Conan finally called Heiji Hattori and told him everything that had happened, urging him to bring people over immediately to search for the injured Kid and the murderer.
"Hattori, Kid got away, but it seems he was shot. There's also a burned body here," Conan said in a deep voice.
Hattori made a reasonable conjecture: "Is it possible that the corpse is Kaito Kid?"
Conan replied speechlessly, "Impossible. I saw him being shot with my own eyes. I only saw him fall into the sea. Even if I was mistaken, he couldn't have landed on the bridge; the time between the two events was too short."
"Alright, you wait for me where you are. I'll come find you with some people right away. Kudo, be careful too, don't wander off. That murderer has a gun!" Hattori Heiji warned.
"Got it." After saying that, Conan hung up the phone and looked around for any missed clues. He wouldn't be happy unless he was courting disaster.
After the police arrived and learned what had happened, they conducted a thorough search of the sea and the area around the murder scene, but found no clues about Kidd or the murderer, and the investigation ended inconclusively.
The next day.
The Mori group traveled to the castle on a luxury cruise ship, but unexpectedly, a murder occurred en route, and one person died.
The next day, Kogoro Mouri and his group, along with Officer Shiratori, arrived at the castle.
Coincidentally, not long after they got off the car, a tan-colored vintage car appeared behind them.
The people who came down were Professor Agasa and the Junior Detective League members, including Ai Haibara.
The last person to arrive was Mr. Qian, who arrived late. After he slowly got out of the car, everyone followed him into the castle.
The Junior Detective League members were blocked at the entrance, but that couldn't stop them; they ran straight in through the small courtyard next door.
Helpless, Professor Agasa and Ai had no choice but to follow behind them, since there were still murderers around.
It's always best to be careful in everything you do.
P.S.: It's not that I don't want to write about Ai-sama. I'm a huge fan of Ai-sama. Writing about Ai-sama would be like talking to a minor like Maklav. Now, even if I have a normal conversation with Ai-sama, nine out of ten sentences won't pass.
