Chapter 82 Red-faced Mermaid

"I really can't help it."

Gao Yuan said helplessly.

"ha?"

Koizumi Hongzi's expression changed slightly, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Well...let me think about it...find him first."

Gao Yuan said thoughtfully, "I think he should already be at the scene."

With that said, Gao Yuan left the crowd and began to look around at the police deployment at the scene.

Helicopters were circling in the sky; patrol cars were constantly driving back and forth on the roads around the clock tower; there were many police officers on duty outside the museum where the clock tower was located, and the police deployment inside the museum was obviously in place.

Koizumi Hongzi followed and asked: "How do you want to find him?"

Faced with this situation, Gao Yuan didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, he had read the original work and knew that Kuroba Kaito first borrowed the identity of a police officer driving a patrol car and infiltrated into the Clock Tower Hall.

But how to explain this kind of thing!

"Think about it. Now the clock tower is completely surrounded by police inside and outside, and there are helicopter patrols in the air. So what method can Kidd use to reach the clock?"

Gao Yuan began to explain forcefully, "Because of the existence of helicopters, his usual hang glider has no use. So there is only one way that can be thought of, disguise yourself as a policeman and sneak into the museum."

Having said that, Gao Yuan felt that this logic seemed credible, so he continued: "But there are too many police forces deployed inside and outside the museum, and they are all operating in groups. Each police officer is also under the eyes of other police officers. To take advantage of it, It is too difficult to find a disguise. So, it is better to use a patrol car on the street. After all, because of the road, the patrol car will be alone while driving. "

With that said, Gao Yuan took out his mobile phone and called up the map of the nearby area to check the roads nearby.

Because Gao Yuan remembered a detail in the original work. After Kidd disguised himself as a policeman driving a patrol car, he tied the policeman directly to the back seat of the vehicle, and then ran to the police officer in front of the museum with Kidd's top hat. He said he saw someone who looked like Kidd.

Obviously, the parking location of the vehicle at that time was not far from the museum where the clock tower was located, and it was in a remote location.

So, after finding a path that met the conditions, Gao Yuan decided to go there and wait. At around 11:30, Gao Yuan, who was guarding a secluded spot on the alley, finally saw a patrol car parked here.

"There are still twenty-eight minutes and thirty seconds before the preview time. So, Izumi Yoichi, a 27-year-old single who lives in Ekoda, will be on patrol. Please lend me your name and face!"

Sitting in the patrol car, Kidd finished his disguise and said this.

However, the sudden knock on the window startled him, and he thought of various scenarios and was ready to fight back. However, Kidd was still stunned when he saw that the person outside the window was Gao Yuan.

"Is there a problem?"

With a look on his face, Kidd rolled down the window and said as if nothing had happened.

Gao Yuan only got a box of small air mattresses the size of poker cards from Dr. A Li and threw them to him.

"Press the button above and it will expand into an air cushion in just a few seconds. If you are really desperate at the end of the day, just choose to jump! Kuroba-san."

Gao Yuan smiled, turned around and left, leaving only Kidd who was confused in the car for a while, but in the end, Kidd still put on the air mattress.

Returning to the clock tower, Gao Yuan began to wait for the development of the situation.

It was at this time that another helicopter flew in from a distance. Koizumi Hongzi walked to Gao Yuan and looked at the helicopter solemnly.

"Here he comes. He exudes the same clear and powerful aura as Black Feather, is as cunning and agile as a devil, and has a pair of eyes that can see into people's hearts. Who is he?"

Listening to Koizumi Hongzi's words, Takato knew the answer, but could only remain silent - it was my neighbor, Kudo Shinichi.

Then, as Gao Yuan knew, at midnight, smoke emitted from the clock tower, and when the smoke dissipated, the hands on the dial disappeared.

However, it is actually just a curtain covering the dial of the clock while the smoke rises, and the appearance of the dial is projected.

After that, Kudo Shinichi's helicopter approached the clock tower. Immediately afterwards, Kudo Shinichi used Officer Megure's pistol to break a rope tied to the curtain, completely exposing the existence of the curtain to the onlookers.

The helicopter that was too close also blocked Kidd's way of escaping with a hang glider. In desperation, Kidd thought of Gao Yuan's words. Although he was a little reluctant, this was indeed the last choice when he was desperate!

So Kidd took the initiative to break the rope of the curtain and let himself fall into the crowd along with the curtain. The portable air mattress given by Gao Yuan did provide the most important guarantee for this bold technique.

Seeing Kidd's safe escape in the end, Koizumi Anko finally breathed a sigh of relief, while Takato turned his attention to Nakamori Aoko, and sure enough, Kuroba Kaito appeared there.

This incident was originally done by Kuroba Kaito to protect the clock tower from being moved. It also exposed the owner of the clock tower who secretly replaced the gems on the clock tower hands.

And here is where Kuroba Kaito and Nakamori Aoko, two childhood sweethearts, first met.

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan smiled helplessly - Kuroba Kaito, you owe me a favor this time.

However, it was still too late today, so Gao Yuan said goodbye to Koizumi Hongzi and went home first.

The next day, Gao Yuan received an email from Kuroba Kaito, asking him to visit a billiards bar called "Blue Parrot". Regarding this name, Gao Yuan had the impression that it was a store opened by Kaitou Kid's assistant, Terai Nosuke.

Arriving outside the "Blue Parrot" door, Gao Yuan saw Kuroba Kaito and Terai Huangnosuke waiting there, but there was no customer in the store at this time.

"Detective Akechi, thank you so much for helping Master Kaito yesterday."

Seeing Takato's arrival, Terai Kinosuke expressed his gratitude to Takato after a brief greeting, while Kuroba Kaito on the side looked unhappy.

"I said, you guessed in advance that I would have to jump off the building and escape in the end. Could it be that you were the one who helped the police with suggestions last night!"

"Misunderstood. I just listened to Koizumi Hongzi's words and made some preparations in advance."

Gao Yuan explained, and then changed the subject, "But you actually took the initiative to call me over. It must be something else, right?"

Regarding this, Kuroba Kaito glanced at Terai Kinosuke and motioned for him to explain.

"Mr. Akechi, do you know the 'Red-faced Mermaid'?"

Terai Huangnosuke asked.

Gao Yuan had some impression of this name, as it seemed to be a gem that appeared in the original work.

"I've heard a little bit, it's probably a ruby."

Seeing that Gao Yuan's words were not polite, Terai Huangnosuke nodded and continued.

"Yes. The owner of this ruby ​​is a well-known Italian actress. But not long ago, the actress encountered a shipwreck while on a cruise ship and unfortunately died, and this 'red-faced mermaid' That’s why he disappeared.”

Hearing this, Gao Yuan frowned, because Gao Yuan remembered that in the original work, it seemed that the gem ended up in the hands of Suzuki Jiroyoshi, who wanted to compete with Kaitou Kidd.

"However, recently in the gem circle, a rumor suddenly spread, saying that a fisherman found this 'red-faced mermaid' on the sea."

Terai Huangnosuke continued.

"I don't know whether this news is true or not. But the place where the shipwreck occurred is not far from Wakasa Bay. After analyzing this rumor, Grandpa Terai and I thought that if a fisherman really found this gem at sea, then it is very likely that the fisherman should They are fishermen living in the Wakasa Bay area.”

Kuroba Kaito said.

"And in that area, the most likely place is the American Island!"
