I’m the Pay Thief at the Winery

"...Everyone's here?"

"You are the last."

In a narrow room on the second floor of the annex, four sneaky figures gathered.

Kuroba Kuito pulled the white horse scout into the room, and quickly closed the door lightly, and asked in a low voice, "Is it all going well?"

"If it doesn't go well, I don't think it's possible for you to see me here." Bai Ma Tan replied calmly, glanced at the pocket watch in his hand, "From the time we separated to avoid the camera to the present, we have all gone. 10 minutes and 35 seconds. Are you really sure we won't be found out?"

Soon after Motegi Haruka and Gunda Yumi returned from the suspension bridge to the annex, they were persuaded by Conan and decided to cooperate with White Horse Detective and Kidd. Judging from the previous clues, the identity of the organizer has also been determined by them - it is Chikan Koyo who just suspended his death.

Since there are so many cameras in the annex, Qianjian Kodai will not waste them. She would go back to a secret room to monitor the detectives, but they couldn't pinpoint each other's location.

Apart from her, Nan Ling, who had been staying in the annex, was nowhere to be seen. They couldn't help but suspect that Nan Ling might be monitoring their whereabouts in the secret room now.

After the final search was fruitless, Conan proposed a plan, and Kuroba Kaito modified it on this basis-the dodging camera was naturally proposed by him at the beginning, except for him, the detectives present did not have any related experience.

Subsequent plans were also designed based on this - the detectives separated from each other to avoid the cameras, leaving their marks and disappearing from the surveillance one by one.

This will inevitably attract the attention of Nanling or Qianjian Yadai. At that time, people in the monitoring room, no matter who they are, will be led out.

If both of them are in the monitoring room, this can lead to at least one of them.

After the remaining people are temporarily hidden, they can focus on themselves, take this opportunity to leave more marks, and finally meet at this predetermined location.

—A rather risky and unstable daring plan, very Kidd-esque.

"First of all, you have to believe that Conan can lead another person away—if there is one." Kuroba Kaito was busy with his hands, but his mouth was not idle, "Since there is no one in the monitoring room, those cameras are useless. "

"In this way, as long as you don't meet Bai Zeliang head-on, you'll be completely safe." Gun Tian Yumei snapped her fingers, and a smile flashed across her curved eyebrows. But this smile quickly turned into doubt, "However, I still have a question..."

"Since you don't know the location of the monitoring room, how can you be sure that he will see it and follow it obediently?"

"Well..." Kuroba Kuito looked at his work with satisfaction, and Yi Rongxia's face showed a hint of pride, "Of course I have considered the question you mentioned."

He not only considered the situation that Nan Ling would follow the arrow, but also the situation that he deliberately did not follow.

And according to what he knew about Nan Ling, since he had seen his challenge book, he definitely did not ignore the truth.

"Then how did you do it?" The White Horse Detective was also very curious.

Before the plan began, each of them had their own instructions on where they should leave their marks, but each only knew where the marks they had drawn.

"It's very simple." Kuroba Kuito used his fingers to draw the approximate shape of the annex's map in the air, "Suppose this is a two-dimensional top view of the annex. Then the traces you left will eventually point to this place."

He tapped a corner spot. Several detectives did not show any surprises, they had already realized this.

"If he deliberately didn't follow the arrow, he would come here." Kuroba Kuito's finger crossed a diagonal line and came to the opposite corner of the position just now, "No matter which side he goes, he can only stay in the end. On the diagonal in the middle."

Then the space on both sides of this annex will become absolutely safe.

"The mark you asked us to leave seems to be more than just on this line..." Motegi Haruka touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

"Of course, because I don't know the location of the monitoring room, and I don't know how 'Bai Zeliang' will choose." Kuroba replied confidently, "So the marks are all over the annex, how will he choose? Not important. Because…”

He saw that the remaining three detectives had different degrees of consternation on their faces, and smiled happily, "This route is not linear."

The arrows that Nan Ling saw one after another were not just pointing in a certain direction. No, that's not a definite path to a trap, but a web of countless lines—walking on the road itself is a trap.

No matter where he saw it, and how he chose after seeing it, he would gradually be drawn to that line.

Unless he chooses to ignore it.

But how could the plan be without surprises? If you look ahead and look back, the game is not fun.

What's more, judging from the fact that no one has been discovered by Nan Ling, his expectations are correct.

"...As expected of him, as expected of the phantom thief Kidd." Gunda Yumi took a deep breath and said with sincere admiration, "In such a short period of time, not only did he figure out the structure of the annex, but also so quickly. This trap was devised..."

"The world-famous phantom thief is really capable." Motegi Haruka sounded like yin and yang, even if he sincerely praised him, "I'm already looking forward to fighting with you in the future."

"I don't dare to do it." Kuroba said politely, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com "The success of the plan is also due to everyone's credit. You found the secret passage in this room. I don't dare to take credit."

They chose this room to meet because there is a secret door to the next room, so they won't be blocked in the room and can't escape.

"Hei... Kidd, if you are like this tonight, I have to wonder if you and I have shown your true skills when we fought in the past." White Horse Detective seemed polite, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, "I am so unworthy. Do you take it seriously?"

Kuroba Kuaidou Xin said how this is possible, it is not that you are too weak but the enemy is too strong this time! If he didn't perform exceptionally, he would have been chased by Nan Ling now.

"Let's follow the plan from now on." He didn't answer the question from the White Horse Detective, and said lightly.

"I still don't understand the next plan." Motegi Haruka frowned, "Why don't we just hide here, whether we are waiting for support or attacking directly, we have an advantage in numbers. Why do we have to split up first?"

"this…"

thump.

thump.

thump.

Kuroba Kaito was still racking his brains on how to make up a convincing reason for 'because it's so fun' when regular footsteps could be heard outside the house.

The faces of the detectives changed, and they all looked towards the door, no longer struggling with the plan. They held their breaths in silence, silently hoping that the footsteps were just passing by.

Kuroba quickly let out a sigh of relief, but then a burst of doubts surfaced in his mind.

Why is Nanling here? He should be following the arrows shopping by now.

—Boom.

The footsteps stopped.

Then, there was a crisp knock on the door of this room.

"I'm sorry." The voice of the person outside the room smiled, "Can I come in?"
