Conan: Another Famous Detective

Kudo's house, in the study.

"Let me take a look...the file about Phantom Thief 1412...the second floor...the third grid...there it is!"

Mengyu pulled out a white file bag from the filing cabinet and placed it on the desk.

The words "Phantom Thief 1412" were clearly written in the center of the document bag.

"This is the file about Phantom Thief 1412? It looks like it has a lot of content!" Akira Hanomiya picked up the file bag and felt the thickness of the contents inside, and said in surprise.

"After all, he was a big thief who was active 18 years ago. He disappeared only 8 years ago. It's easy to imagine the crimes he committed during his nearly 10 years of activity." Meng Yu said.

Yu Gongming opened the file bag and took out all the information inside.

These materials include photos, newspaper clippings, etc., and even Hanemiya Akira discovered several suspected internal investigation reports of Interpol.

"As expected of a god-level father, Uncle Yusaku's connections are truly unfathomable..." Akira Hanomiya sighed in his heart,

Conan also jumped on the chair in front of the desk, looking at the information in front of him, curiosity and expectation flashed in his eyes.

The three of them began to browse the information.

Especially those several suspected Interpol investigation reports were read by several people in turn.

a long time……

"He seems to be a really difficult guy..." Conan silently put down an investigation report and sighed.

"Well, if the investigation report is correct, this Phantom Thief 1412 is not only proficient in disguise, but also very skilled. Look at this paragraph..." Meng Yu pointed to a line of text and said:

[Three minutes after Phantom Thief 1412 was arrested by the Sixth Operation Team, he successfully broke free from the handcuffs before being taken to the helicopter, and used a miniature tranquilizer gun to knock down several operators, and escaped safely under the interception of the remaining operators...]

"I believe that with the professionalism of Interpol, after arresting such a thief, he will be searched immediately. After being searched, he can still break free from the handcuffs within three minutes and escape safely. This method It can be called a miraculous skill." Meng Yu sighed.

"Also, look at this again..." Yu Gongming put the report in his hand on the table and pointed to a paragraph of text:

[In this operation, a total of nearly 10 helicopters and nearly 300 police officers were dispatched to surround Phantom Thief 1412 in the Louvre. However, Phantom Thief 1412 used walkie-talkies to mobilize the police deployment in the name of operational command, causing a flaw in the siege, resulting in He escaped successfully...]

"Please note that he used a walkie-talkie to mobilize police forces. So, how did he make other operators believe that he was the operational commander?"

Yu Gongming and Meng Yu looked at Conan at the same time.

Conan's brows jumped when he saw the gazes of Yu Miya and Akira. He subconsciously looked down at the bow tie voice changer he was wearing: "You mean..."

"Yes, I suspect that Kaitou Kidd has a voice-changing machine similar to the bow-tie voice changer, or that he has the ability to learn voice-changing. The plasticity of human vocal cords is still very strong." Akira Hamiya said.

"In addition, according to other information, Phantom Thief 1412 likes to show off in a white dress. His main means of transportation is a hang glider, and he carries tear gas, flash bombs, smoke bombs and other tactical auxiliary weapons with him. He is well-equipped." Meng Yu said.

"However, it seems that he suddenly disappeared eight years ago and only appeared recently. I don't know what he has been doing in the past eight years?" Conan frowned.

"Dad stopped collecting information about Phantom Thief 1412, who reappeared recently, because he and my mother went abroad, but I have reservations about the news." Meng Yu said, taking out a small stack of newspapers from the drawer under the desk.

"Speaking of which, because this phantom thief manipulates the police of various countries into applause, he has many nicknames, such as [Heisei's Lupine], [Magician under the Moonlight], etc., but there is one nickname that is the most widely circulated. of."

"You mean Kaitou Kidd, right?" Conan said.

"Yes, speaking of which, this nickname is somewhat related to my father!" Meng Yu said with a smile.

"Huh?" Conan was confused.

"Because my father once stopped Phantom Thief 1412 from stealing a piece of art."

"At that time, he accidentally saw 1412 scrawled by a reporter. With just a quick glance, my father saw the number 1412 as KID and read it out."

"As one of the few cases where Kaito Kidd was prevented from committing a crime, that incident was reported by countless media. As a result, the abbreviation of Dad, who was accidentally mistaken, gradually became widely circulated. As time went by, people became accustomed to calling Kaito 1412 ...Kaitou Kidd!”

"I see... But how do you know these things? Why don't I have any impression at all?" Conan asked doubtfully.

"Mom actually mentioned this before, but you just don't remember it."

"And my parents would quarrel from time to time when I was a child. Whenever they quarreled, my father would be kicked out of the room. But my mother was not used to sleeping alone at that time, so whenever this happened, I would be my mother's pillow. .”

"Then, my mother would talk to me about all the problems with my father. Several times she mentioned that my father had bad eyesight. This example of KID was often cited by her, so it left a deep impression on me." Meng Yu said. .

"Well, I forgot about this..." Conan said with shame.

Speaking of which, when I was a child, I used to be my mother's pillow for a while, but after reaching the third grade of elementary school, I stopped sleeping with my mother. Instead, I slept with my mother occasionally until I was in junior high school. …

Conan shook his head slightly and brought his thoughts back to the topic of Kaitou Kidd.

He flipped through the newspaper that Mengyu took out and wondered:

"Eh? This Kidd in the photo looks very young..."

"This doesn't mean anything. As a disguise master, it's not difficult to make yourself look younger. Not to mention, look at Aunt Yingli and look at my mother. Which one doesn't look younger than her actual age? Teenagers?" Meng Yu said with a smile.

"Well...that's true." Conan scratched his head.

"Instead of caring about his appearance, it's better to think about how to catch this international thief. Interpol is helpless with him, which shows how difficult he is." Hanemiya Ming said.

"The problem now is that the crime warning letter he sent has not been solved. We don't even know when and where he will appear, let alone catch him." Conan frowned.

"Judging from this code alone, it is indeed impossible to deduce the exact time of his appearance. However, we actually still have clues that we have not collected completely."

"Yes, no matter how mysterious Kidd is, he will eventually sneak into the museum to steal the [Dark Star]. Maybe there will be new clues in the museum." Conan nodded.

At this time, Mengyu's cell phone suddenly rang.

"Eh? It's Yuanzi calling..." Meng Yu answered the phone.

"Hey! Sonoko...oh, okay, um, Ming agreed to help, and we are cracking the code... um, okay, got it...bye!"

Yuanzi invites us to visit the Rice Krispies Museum tomorrow afternoon and learn about the police's deployment so that we can cooperate with the police in arresting Kaito Kidd. "Meng Yu said.

"That's good. Let's go to the Rice Flower Museum tomorrow to see if there are any clues to crack the code." Yu Gongming said with a smile.
