Stay away from Conan

Chapter 500: Mechanisms in the Exhibition Hall

"Why?"

Hearing this, Nakamori Ginzo couldn't help but widen his eyes and said with a surprised expression, while Niwano Yatsuyo on the side frowned slightly.

"Look, the hand holding the lotus is reversed from the normal one, and there is no small Buddha statue unique to the Guanyin statue on the head..."

Mumbling, Kaito said with great disappointment that there was something fishy about this Buddha statue, and finally added:

"The most important thing is this diamond... I can only see that it is a glass bead..."

"Stop talking nonsense Kaito!"

Hearing what Kaito said, Nakamori Ginzo couldn't help but retorted:

"This Avalokitesvara statue is a Buddha statue that has been sleeping for more than a thousand years in the mud temple built on the low-lying cliffs of Mount Okutama! Isn't that right, Abbot Yatsushiro?"

"Yes."

In response, Niwano Yatsuyo smiled and nodded in affirmation.

Kaito, who heard this, didn't believe what they said at all. Based on his own judgment, Kaito was absolutely sure that this was definitely a fake——

"Besides, a thousand years ago, there were no such exquisitely carved diamonds!"

Thinking like this, Kaito has completely lost interest in today's actions——

"Forget it, let's retreat before that bastard Hakuba comes..."

After making the decision, Kaito said to Aoko "I'm going to the toilet" with an indifferent expression, and then left the exhibition hall alone——

"It's not yet time for the announcement. The security in the power distribution room should be very lax..."

With his prior understanding of the museum's structure, Kaito secretly sneaked into the power distribution room...

…

"S-Power outage!"

Not long after Kaito left the exhibition hall, the lights in the entire museum were extinguished at the same time, and those who remained in the exhibition hall were immediately plunged into darkness——

"Impossible! There are still five hours before the preview time, right?"

Shocked, Nakamori Ginzo shouted, he really couldn't believe that the power outage at this moment was caused by Kaito Kid, who always acted on time.

At this time, the three people present only felt something falling in front of them, probably where the display cabinet was, and causing a gust of wind.

In response to this, Qingzi responded promptly. He immediately took out his mobile phone, turned on the lighting function, and shined the light in the direction in front of him——

I saw a white figure standing above the glass cover of the booth——

Wearing a pure white suit and cape, wearing a white top hat, the corner of his mouth seems to always have an elegant smile, and the monocle on his right eye that is extremely dazzling due to the reflection of light——

"Monster, Kaito Kidd!"

Seeing this figure, Nakamori Ginzo shouted out the other person's name in shock, then looked at the time on his watch with the light from Aoko's mobile phone, and asked loudly:

"What time do you think it is!"

"big liar!"

Looking at Kaitou Kid from close range, Aoko echoed her father's words and shouted angrily.

"yes."

Faced with such a question, Kaitou Kidd did not have any rebuttal and just said in a magnetic voice:

"Thieves...are all liars..."

Then, after Kaitou Kidd said this, he did not wait for the reactions of the three people present, but continued to explain:

"But today, I'm not here to steal this. I'm just here to tell you to please stop."

As he said this, Kaitou Kid's gaze turned towards Nawano Yatsuyo who was behind Nakamori Ginzo and Nakamori Aoko——

"This thing has absolutely no value in being stolen!"

"Ah, it really lives up to its name..."

In this regard, through the light source of the only mobile phone in the entire exhibition hall, after being reflected by the glass cover on the booth, it is possible to vaguely see the face of Niwano Yatsuyo, with a smile on his face at this moment:

"Always saying the name shows the essence of the toy. If you don't like the toy you are given, throw it out immediately... You are just like a child (KID)!"

However, while Niwano Yatsuyo was talking, there was a "click" sound coming from nowhere in the entire exhibition hall.

Being intuitive and sensitive, Kaitou Kidd immediately noticed something strange the moment he heard the noise. He only felt that the booth under him was falling towards the ground.

Due to the weak light, Kaito Kidd did not understand the specific situation for a while, but he still took out the magic card gun from his pocket immediately, and based on his memory of the details of the booth's construction, he shot towards the chandelier on the ceiling. A rope with a hook was wrapped around the chandelier.

Therefore, with the help of the chandelier, Kaitou Kidd managed to maintain his figure in an instant and did not fall downwards along with the booth beneath him.

However, an accident happened at this time——

"ah--"

Suddenly, Qingzi screamed in surprise, and the light of the mobile phone in Qingzi's hand was falling.

With this light, Kaitou Kidd finally saw clearly what kind of mechanism was under his feet——

The floor under the booth is basically an opening that can be opened downward. Because the hole was opened, all the things that were originally on the ground fell toward the bottom of the floor.

The position where Qingzi was standing just now happened to be within the range of the opening, so Qingzi naturally fell downwards as the opening opened——

"Aoko!"

Seeing this situation, Kaitou Kidd immediately made a decision.

She put away the rope shot by the magic card gun, and used the ceiling to support herself, letting herself fall freely downward at an initial speed, and then caught Aoko on the way down——

However, because the booth had already fallen downstairs, the glass cover that originally covered the booth was now shattered on the ground, right below where Kidd and Aoko were about to fall.

Seeing this, Kidd did not hesitate, gritted his teeth, and moved his body in mid-air, holding Qingzi, with his own body blocking Qingzi's lower side.

At the same time, the opening began to close...

…

The power was restored and the lights in the showroom came on again.

At this moment, Kaitou Kidd is nowhere to be seen, and along with it, Nakamori Aoko has also disappeared into the exhibition hall——

"What happened!"

When the lights went out, Nakamori Ginzo didn't see clearly what happened during that period. But the situation before him made Nakamori Ginzo come to a conclusion——

"Ki-Kid disappeared! He disappeared with Aoko!"

Shocked, Nakamori Ginzo shouted in panic.

"What did you say!"

When he heard this, Niwano Yatsuyo showed a surprised expression and said in surprise.

But at this moment, Nakamori Ginzo heard the rumbling sound coming from downstairs, like some kind of engine——

"What...the sound of this engine..."

Unexpected situations occurred one after another. Nakamori Ginsan was at a loss and didn't know what to do for a moment...

…

"Akechi, I need your help. Otherwise, Kuroba-kun's identity will be exposed this time!"

At the same time, at Koizumi Hongzi's home, Koizumi Hongzi looked pale and slumped on the ground very tiredly. She held the "priestess" necklace tightly in one hand and held her mobile phone in the other, looking at the person on the other end of the phone. said...
