Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"This morning, my father..."

Here, Detective Baima explained the situation of Gentleman Phantom Thief to Ginzo Nakamori.

On the roof of the building over there, Kaito Kuroba had already seen him.

A black version of Phantom Thief Kidd, whose face and voice hidden in the darkness reminded him of his father Kuroba Pirates for a moment.

But his father had died in the magic show years ago, and Chi Feichi was at the exhibition hall, so it was impossible for him to come over and joke with him.

The other party claimed to be Black Feather Pirate One's younger brother. Due to a serious illness, he has been recuperating for the past few years while waiting for the opportunity to avenge his senior brother. From this point of view, he seemed to be an ally, but the other party actually said that he was a copycat imitator when he came, Black Feather Pirates One's undead didn't need two, and even challenged him, his self-confident almost arrogant attitude made him very unhappy.

He just accepted the challenge, the other party gave an inexplicable smile, leaped into the night sky, and flew away with the black hang glider.

"In exchange, if I see through your tricks, please disappear!" Kuroba Kaito shouted to the looming black shadow in the sky.

He is the first person who is qualified to avenge his father, and no one can snatch him away!

These days, even this one is being robbed, this person is just like Brother Feichi, he must be a snake spirit!

"no problem."

A response came from the dark night sky.

Kaito Kuroba took a deep breath, picked up his mobile phone, and sent an email to the Metropolitan Police Department through a foreign server.

He's out of action tonight and see what tricks the black guy is trying to pull off.

...

The news of Kaito Kidd's cancellation of the operation quickly spread to Nakamori Ginzo from the Metropolitan Police Department.

"What? Kidd isn't coming?" Nakamori Ginzo looked at the subordinate who came to report in surprise, "Did you really receive such an email?"

A certain subordinate shivered with his arms folded in the cold, nodded and said, "Yes, just now the Metropolitan Police Department received an email saying, 'Let me watch your excellencies this time', although the email was sent through a foreign server, and the signal cannot be confirmed. source, but Kidd’s usual logo is attached to it, so it must be him.”

Bai Matan turned his head to look at the others, and exhaled whitely, "He seems to care about that gentleman thief too."

"It doesn't matter whether he is a gentleman or a thief, he has made so many moths..." Nakamori Ginzo took two steps back in dissatisfaction, sat on a cylindrical platform, picked up his pipe and held it in his mouth, and when he was lighting a match with a match, suddenly He jumped up with a loud cry, rubbed his buttocks, turned around in doubt and touched the countertop he was sitting on just now, "It's strange, it's not hot..."

"Hey, don't touch that base!" Harry Nezu said, "This is a secret weapon made in my country and brought to Japan specially to deal with crows."

Two policemen transferred the midnight jackdaws into a cylindrical glass box with a metal bottom, lifted the glass box, and placed it on the cylindrical platform.

"On the surface, it's just an ordinary table," Harry Genzin walked to the table, watching the two policemen put down the glass box, "but if the safety device is disarmed in this way, it can sense someone approaching, and then pop out A sharp blade."

The two policemen standing nearby touched the sensing device. With a mechanical sound, a circle of sharp knives popped out from the place where the metal base of the glass box met the countertop, startling the two policemen.

"Spin it at high speed and chop it up!" Harry Genzin said, and the sharp blade that popped out of the countertop spun like a circle of sharp cutters, and it didn't spin back until the two policemen left the vicinity.

"Of course the box is made of ultra-hard bulletproof glass," Harry Genzin continued, "The black cloth on the diamond is also specially processed that cannot be shredded by human power."

"I want to check the authenticity of the diamond." Chi Feichi said.

"Of course no problem," Harry Genzin readily agreed, turned off the sensor for some reason, stepped forward to open the glass cover, and stepped aside, not forgetting to take out a magnifying glass and hand it to Chi Feichi, "If possible, I will Check it out in a while."

"no problem."

Chi Feichi took the magnifying glass and picked up the black diamond on the silk cushion with one hand.

An adult male can barely hold a black diamond with one hand. It is not appropriate to say "one" anymore, but "a piece" is almost the same.

The Midnight Jackdaw is known as the "largest black diamond in the world". It is true that it has no modesty. Not only did it not exist in the past, but it may be difficult to mine a black diamond comparable in size to this diamond in the future.

Colorless diamonds are rated excellent for the absence of inclusions, black diamonds are quite different.

Because there are many, very dense impurities or inclusions inside natural black diamonds, the diamond only absorbs light, and does not penetrate or refract light, making the diamond appear black.

In fact, natural black diamonds have many colors such as olive green, brown, dark gray and even black, but the concentration of a large number of inclusions inside makes the diamond look black.

Like this big diamond 'Midnight Jackdaw', under a magnifying glass, it can be judged that the true color is olive green, and the rich black impurities inside can also be seen.

Although the price of green diamonds is much higher than that of black diamonds, the size of such a large black diamond determines its rarity far beyond that of many colored diamonds, and the hardness of the diamond is high, and the cutting process also determines the value of the diamond.

When he called Chi Kanai to contact the curator before, Chi Kanai also mentioned that the history of this diamond is not long, but it took more than ten years to cut and polish it, starting from when his grandmother was a little girl. After more than ten years, it was not until her grandmother was about to get married that the finished product was produced, which is considered top-notch in terms of craftsmanship.

Also because of the high hardness of diamonds, the cut edges and corners are not easy to be worn, so the edges and corners of diamonds will feel straight and sharp to the touch, and will not be rounded like the cut edges and corners of other materials.

Coupled with the fact that diamonds are friendly to greasy, sticky to the touch, and have high thermal conductivity, it is not difficult to judge the authenticity of such a large diamond with a magnifying glass.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki leaned aside curiously, looked at the rich and mysterious interior of the diamond under the magnifying glass, and then looked at Chi Feichi's finger holding Hei Zuan. Under the black and white visual contrast between the finger and Hei Diamond, the Hei Diamond seemed to be deeper Now, together with the fingers, but unexpectedly harmonious, "Looking at it this way, it seems to look better."

"It's also more attractive."

Seeing that Koshimizu Nanatsuki had seen enough, Chi Feichi handed the magnifying glass and the diamond to Harry Nezu next to him.

Looking at the rich, dense and different impurities inside the Midnight Jackdaw, he felt an inexplicable pleasure, a pleasure that seemed to be brought about by crazily scribbling and wanton destruction on white paper.

It is indeed better-looking than the black diamonds at first glance, and it is also more attractive, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Harry Nezu took the diamond, raised his hand and took off his monocle, revealing his dark eye sockets.

A thing that looks like a telescope and a camera protruded from the eye socket, facing the black diamond raised by Harry Nezu.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki stared blankly for a moment, and paid attention to Harry Nezu's right eye, which seemed to be equipped with a special prosthetic eye, and didn't ask any further questions.

"Oh! It's really beautiful," Harry Genzin sighed as he looked at the diamond, "It's indeed a genuine black diamond 'Midnight Jackdaw'."

"Although that box has powerful anti-theft devices, it's not locked." Nakamori Ginzo reminded in doubt.

Harry Nezu put the diamond back on the silk cushion and closed the glass case lid, "The lock is you, Nakamori Police Department."

"Ah?" Nakamori Ginzo was a little confused, pointing at himself, "Me?"

"Please put on your gas mask, sit on this box, and grab the box with your hands," Harry Genzin said, looking at Chi Feichi, "Of course, if the owner of the diamond wants to come by himself. "

Chi Feichi took a step back, looked at Nakamori Ginzo, and signaled that he would give up this opportunity to be a "tool man lock".

Ginzo Nakamori saw that the mobile team member handed him a gas mask, but reluctantly took it and put it on, followed Harry Nezu's instructions, climbed on top of the glass box and squatted down, bent over and grasped the box tightly with both hands, feeling complicated.

This situation seems familiar.

Don't old men like to use him to press boxes?

A policeman looked down at his watch and reminded, "Officer Nakamori, the forecast time is almost here."

Harry Nezu showed a confident smile on his face, "Then, gentleman in the night, gentleman of the phantom thief, just come!"

Chi Feichi took two steps to the side, opened the distance, and commented indifferently, "You are too secondary."

He thought that there was no other gentleman who was as good as Qin Jiu, but he didn't expect that there was another one who was even more good.

Harry Nezu was taken aback, "Secondary two?"

"I mean, you speak like a second-year middle school student," Chi Feichi said without changing his expression, "full of imagination and emotion, childlike innocence, full of vitality, and full of energy, I am envious of you youthful breath."

"Really..." Harry Nezu was dubious.

Listening to the explanation is a positive evaluation, but what happened to the vague sense of disgust that this kid showed just now?

Ginzo Nakamori wearing a gas mask pressing the box "..."

Look, one is the owner of the Midnight Jackdaw, and the other is the leader who came up with ideas and arranged for the defense. When the forecast time was approaching, they stood aside chatting and ordered him to press the box.

Won't these two come by themselves? Really!

When Nakamori Ginzo was staring at the two of them crazily slandering, a small black paper rose came into sight and fluttered down in the air, "Huh? Paper rose?"

In the blink of an eye, countless black trumpet roses fell from the air vents on the ceiling, falling down one after another, like a black snowfall.

"Whoosh..."

As the wind from the vent suddenly increased, the black paper rose almost fell down. The pieces of paper were not enough to hurt people, but they fell chaotically under the airflow, which also hindered the sight of others. .

Koshimizu Nanatsuki put his hand in front of his forehead, squinted his eyes and turned to look at the box that Mori Ginzo was holding down.

She has to keep an eye on this side!

"Here we come, Gentleman Phantom Thief!" Harry Nezu shouted passionately again.

Chi Feichi stretched out his hand to hold Koshimizu Nanatsuki's shoulder, led Koshimizu Nanatsuki to the side, and continued to distance himself from a certain middle school student.

Detective Baima was not in the mood to care so much, and turned to Ginzo Nakamori and shouted, "Police, absolutely don't let go!"

Ginzo Nakamori was facing the wind, wearing a gas mask, clutching the glass box with both hands, and responded loudly, "Death will not let go!"

Soon, the wind from the vents became weaker, and the paper roses stopped falling, and pieces of black settled on the ground.

"Stopped……"

A mobile team member next to him just breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the table where the diamonds were placed, and immediately exclaimed in astonishment, "Where are the treasures, gems?!"

"It's okay, I've been holding the box tightly with both hands!" Nakamori Ginzo said confidently, freed his right hand to take off the gas mask, looked down at the glass box cover under him, and widened his eyes, "No, it's gone? "

In the glass case displaying the black diamonds, the black diamonds have disappeared, leaving only a golden coin on a silk cushion.

The coin has a silhouette pattern of a figure wearing a cloak, and the words "Gentleman Strange Thief" are left below. -
