In the exhibition hall of the Eda Ancient Museum, Detective Hakuba, who inherited the fine tradition that detectives are all loners, was pointing his magnifying glass at the marble floor alone.
In the magnifying glass, a trace of blond hair lies quietly on the marble.
"This is..."
Japanese police are not allowed to dye their hair, and all police officers in the museum have black hair.
The museum will clean everything after closing every day. It is impossible to leave this hair alone on the ground.
So this can only be someone who entered the museum through abnormal means after the museum closed.
"You are indeed here, Spider..."
At this time, Detective Bai Ma saw Officer Zhongmori, who was directing his men to check various surveillance cameras.
Surveillance cameras - the enemy of modern detective investigation...
In Detective White Horse's mind, surveillance cameras are undoubtedly the enemy of detective reasoning.
Because no matter how many doubts, assumptions, and rigorous logical reasoning, they are nothing compared to a piece of ironclad footage from a surveillance camera.
Nowadays, with the popularization of surveillance cameras, it has become much easier for the police to solve crimes. In most cases, detectives are not needed at all.
If surveillance is fully popularized in the future, the detective industry will inevitably decline.
Hope that day never comes...
Thinking about the future in his heart, Bai Ma Tan walked up to Officer Zhongmori and asked: "Is the entire museum being monitored? Is there any blind spot in the surveillance area?"
Officer Zhongmori, who had just been taught a lesson by Detective Hakuba, felt a little vindictive and said angrily: "Humph... of course."
"Is there surveillance in the basement?" Baima Tan, who was leaning on the stone pillar, asked calmly.
Upon hearing this, Officer Zhongmori immediately became convinced.
"The basement is not only monitored, but also has a large number of laser sensors. It is the place with the most stringent alarm equipment in the entire museum."
"Based on my experience, even Kidd is not the kind of fool who is willing to easily overcome numerous obstacles."
"..." Bai Matan smiled slightly and nodded his head slightly. It seemed that he agreed with Officer Zhongsen's point of view, but in fact, he had another idea in his heart.
Based on your experience, Kidd will not appear from anywhere, so Kidd will definitely appear from somewhere!
If you want to say why, after all, you are the policeman who has been unable to catch Kidd for 18 consecutive years...
There is a simple and mindless gambling method in the casino, which is to identify a loser who keeps losing, and no matter what he bets, you will bet the opposite.
Regarding Officer Zhongsen, Detective Baima has some of this mentality.
It doesn't matter that he has no experience fighting Kaitou Kidd, as long as Officer Nakamori is the bad guy who has "lost gambling" for 18 consecutive years.
On the other hand, Kaitou Kidd has fought with Officer Nakamori for many years, and must have mastered Officer Nakamori's action pattern.
Detective Nakamori relies too much on technological equipment, and Kaito Kidd must be fully aware of it.
Therefore, the clever Kaitou Kidd must have gone against the grain and broke in from the basement.
Now that the direction of Kaitou Kidd's intrusion is basically clear, Detective White Horse is not satisfied with this.
"Officer, are there really surveillance cameras deployed throughout the museum?" Detective Bai Ma continued to ask.
"Of course!"
Officer Zhongmori patted his chest confidently.
Detective Baima asked: "What about the toilets on each floor?"
"Toilet, toilet..."
Officer Zhongmori was questioned because there was indeed no surveillance camera installed in the toilet, but...
"Even if Kidd entered a place like that, he would have to leave the toilet to get close to the bronze statue in the exhibition hall."
"As long as he appears in the corridor, he will be discovered immediately by my men and surveillance cameras."
After Officer Zhongmori finished speaking, Hakuba showed a confident smile.
Spider!
I know where you are!
...
On the toilet seat, Spider adjusted the mask on his head.
Spider's mask is a special mask with three light bulbs on it. The arrangement of the three bulbs is somewhat like the three heads on a high-end electric shaver, and also somewhat like the three cameras of the future technology iPhone11 pro.
These three bulbs can rotate alternately and emit a dazzling scarlet light. It is a new technology of New World Corporation (NWI). When used together with Spider's illusion, it can greatly enhance the effect of the illusion.
When Spider arranged his mask, he stood up, opened the door of his own toilet cubicle, and walked towards the other toilet cubicles.
He walked lightly, and the small half of his face exposed under the mask showed a calm and confident smile.
The moment Kaitou Kid came in, he had already heard footsteps.
It's just that he chose to clean up the "rats" lurking here after he finished talking to the Shi Kaobing outside.
Unexpectedly, he was so lucky that Kaitou Kidd could choose the same hiding place as him.
In this way, Kaitou Kidd can be killed quietly without alerting the Japanese police.
Kidd, prepare to step into the nightmare!
Spider jumped lightly and hung his body on the toilet door, looking into the closed toilet cubicle.
The three red light bulbs on the mask switched alternately, but there was nothing in the cubicle except a bright white toilet.
Spider: "Huh?"
Is it the cubicle next to it?
Spider released his arms, took two steps forward, and easily jumped onto the 2-meter-high toilet door again.
There was still no one inside.
Spider, who did not believe in evil, continued to lean on the door panels of the toilet stalls and look inside, but still did not see anyone inside.
"Strange..."
Spider let go of his arms and landed at the door of the last toilet cubicle.
At this moment, the toilet door was slowly pushed open, and a brown figure stood at the door.
The person coming is none other than Detective White Horse!
Spider had no time to hide and collided directly with Detective White Horse.
"Spider, you are indeed here..."
He was discovered by the white horse detective, but the small half of his face exposed under Spider's mask still looked leisurely and contented.
"I haven't looked for you yet, but I didn't expect you to come to my door."
Spider paused for a moment before adding: "And he's still alone..."
"In this case, even if I kill you here, the Japanese police will pin the case on Kaito Kidd."
Baima Tan looked shocked and tried to step back, but it was too late.
The red light on the mask on Spider's face suddenly bloomed, and three beams of scarlet light almost enveloped the White Horse Detective's entire field of vision.
"Welcome, Detective White Horse..."
"Welcome to your nightmare..."
Spider's melodious, empty, and unreal voice rang in Baima Tan's ears. Baima Tan's eyes instantly lost focus and fell into an illusion.
The foundation laying command center set up in the exhibition hall also saw Detective Baima standing stiffly at the door of the toilet through the surveillance camera.
"Officer Zhongmori, Detective White Horse seems to be standing at the door of the toilet."
Facing the report from his subordinates, Officer Zhongmori waved his hand nonchalantly.
