Chapter 14 Picking Up Four. Silver Bullet · Middle Chapter | Silver Bullets · Second Part
Recap
"what is this?"
"Things that can save lives. Remember, eat only when it is absolutely necessary."
"Gun, here it is."
"The bullet is here too."
Kaito Kuroba chose the former between black tea with Whiskey and orange juice with Vodka.Although it is still a while before they are adults, they have reached the age where they will sneak a drink or two at parties and the like.No matter how he pretends to be an adult, puts on a suit, and enjoys the fun brought to him by his family's magic talent... the fun of playing around with adults, including police officers, he is still a young boy after all, and his naughty mentality is no better than that of his peers Less than half a point.What's more, I have been bound by something like a "sense of mission" in my heart for a long time. Recently, I really need a chance to relax or even indulge in a moderate amount.No one can wear a perfect pokerface until he dies, and he's only human.
——Of course he will not let go of any guards tonight, this is a time of life and death in every sense.He clinked glasses with James with a proper smile, and then took a sip of the wine, his fingertips covered with a thin layer of transparent nail polish stuck to the cool glass, without leaving any fingerprints.
"P2, get in place." Jodie has been using a wireless invisible headset to maintain a call with the foreign aid. She tilted her head and said something to James. Hattori Heiji raised her eyebrows and turned sideways to Kuroba's side. people?"
Kuroba quickly understood what he meant.He stretched out his hands to count, in exchange for Hattori's surprised eyes.
"so much?!"
"after all……"
He paused, didn't continue talking, but raised his head and looked at the person who walked in front of him...
Edogawa Conan noticed that Hui Yuanai's complexion became worse the further he walked in.
"Are you really okay?"
"It's okay, just watch out ahead."
They spoke in a low voice, and two small figures shuttled between a row of shelves.They had just walked past what appeared to be a wine storage freezer and back kitchen without any risk.To some extent, the figure of a child is easy to hide, but once it is discovered, it will be particularly difficult to end, because there is no way to get away with it for any reason.After knocking down the two middle-aged men at the back door with an anesthetic needle, they dealt with two more in the same way.After a while, these guys lying on the ground are bound to cause commotion and alert some people.In fact, this is not his style at all. Because of the lack of information, he is unable to formulate a perfect plan, and rushes forward recklessly, relying entirely on luck and improvisation.There is only one reason why he is so sure, every second of his hesitation, the face of Kudo Shinichi will appear in his mind, well, or Kaitou KID, whoever he is.
—he must find him quickly.
It is here.
Edogawa stopped in his tracks. He looked at the location on the miniature screen of the lens. There was only a space about the size of a room between him and the person he was looking for.To be precise, it was indeed a room with a whole wall of wine racks.
He put his hands on the wall, his thoughts running fast.This is also what he is good at - considering infinite possibilities, methods, and consequences in a very short period of time.However, he couldn't calm down completely, especially when Hui Yuan Ai suddenly whispered next to him, "It's this room, but..." She tugged off his sleeve, and then quickly let go. "But the entrance is not on this side."
The person standing in front of Kaito Kuroba was a young waiter with an ordinary appearance and well-behaved manners, the kind of character that was most suitable for hiding in the crowd.He bowed slightly to Kaito Kuroba, and handed him a black card.Kuroba just glanced at it before turning his dexterous fingers, and the card disappeared in his hand in a blink of an eye, so fast that James and Hattori, who were sitting next to him, couldn't see it clearly.
"I'm going down to the bar."
On the black card is written with a red lip liner, "Mr.KID, I would like to buy you a glass of Vermouth."
He had noticed the woman earlier.A white shirt, a black one-step skirt, fair skin like a westerner, with a black ponytail, and bangs left to the tip of his eyebrows.Even if you can't see it clearly from a distance, it looks beautiful, but you can't tell the age.The woman has been sitting quietly in the most inconspicuous corner of the bar, only occasionally handing a glass to the bartender who is working.And she looked at him many times, with a faint smile.
"good evening."
"Good evening, unexpectedly young Phantom Thief boy."
With just the right smile on his face, he seemed very calm in the face of her revealing his true identity in one word.And she too, this woman gives people the impression that she seems to be forever young, always winning.
"I don't know what your name is?"
"Adhering to the etiquette of reporting each other's names first, I have already said——"
vermouth.
He watched her red lips part slightly, and said the name slowly and silently.Kaito Kuroba raised his eyebrows, and before worrying about the other party's intentions, he was a little thankful that they had indeed found the right place.
"I've heard of you for a long time." He moved the wine glass in front of him a little further, "but I'm not yet of legal age to drink."
She didn't care about his obvious refusal attitude, instead she laughed with interest, "Have you heard about my name for a long time? Have you ever heard of me... Sherry?"
When a woman pronounces her English name, she always prolongs her intonation a little bit, and the rising ending sound makes the question in her mouth sound pleasant, and the little brown-haired figure with short brown hair quickly flashed in Heiyu's mind.In an opening game of mutual exploration, the primary criterion is to minimize the information disclosed by oneself but to extract as much information as possible from the other party.
Black Feather shook his head slightly, and changed the subject calmly, "Why did you ask me?"
"If you don't come to drink...then why are you here?"
"Some adults always like to cast long lines to catch big fish," Black Feather sneered softly, "I don't know that the small fish raised by the big fish have already killed many people, and even bit my important person, so of course, we must plan to catch them all at once. , You obviously missed a lot of opportunities before, didn’t you?”
"That's interesting... A thief shouting, catch a thief?"
He was noncommittal.
"I'm curious, is that lady really not suspicious?"
Vermouth refilled him a cup of black tea, and threw three more ice cubes into it.
That lady... Mao Lilan?
"Ha, I really want to know too, I hope not." He stretched out his hand and flicked the glass, the water vapor on the glass wall wetted the back of his finger. "But sometimes you have to show people in disguise, you are all too familiar with this, right?"
"Sometimes camouflage is not necessarily necessary, it may also be a pleasure," she leaned forward, but lowered her eyes, pulled his right hand, and lightly rubbed it on the pads of his fingers that covered the fingerprints, first the index finger, then It's the little finger, then the thumb, and finally the ring finger of the left hand.All actions were slowed down to an unbelievable level, like flirting, but there was no ambiguity in the eyes of the two.Kuroba Kaito let her play with his hands, and then stared at her intently.
He was betting, betting on a possibility of mutual benefit.
"It's getting late at night, you should go home." He bent his eyes and smiled, retracted his right hand and grabbed a handful in mid-air, then snapped his fingers again, a black rose appeared in his hand, and he left it on the bar counter.
"Have a nice evening—"
The woman picked it up and put it in a glass of ice water.
"We'll meet again," she said.
"Little brother, this is not the place for you."
The waiter who suddenly appeared behind them startled the two of them.Obviously did not hear the footsteps, such a person who appeared without anyone noticing made Edogawa Conan's heart ring loudly.He turned around to protect Hui Yuanai behind him, looked up at this ordinary young waiter, and saw that there was a faint smile on the corner of the other's lips.
"We... huh?!"
Before the words of explanation could be spoken, the corridor was plunged into darkness.No matter how you look at it, it is not a normal power outage or trip, because the commotion of the crowd in the bar can be vaguely heard.Something has happened—or, is about to, or is happening.Edogawa Conan clenched his fists and was thinking about how to get away quickly when the man in front of him stretched out his hand towards them.
"follow me."
The originally dark infield was completely gone and darkened, leaving only a few dark purple lights sticking to the corner of the wall.The small bombs arranged by Kaito Kuroba on the light box were also equipped with dry ice smoke bombs. In an instant, the whole bar was filled with blue-purple smoke, just like the stage before the magic show.Hattori Heiji sighed, groped to Kuroba, and saw him turning into the bar and waving to him at the wine rack.
"Push over there." Kuroba instructed him to pull a wooden board of the wine rack, and then the two of them reversed their strength.The seemingly bulky wine rack is unexpectedly easy to push, and there is a sound of rolling wheels moving in the dark groove embedded in the ground.
What appeared in front of them now was a door with a combination lock and a 0-9 keypad.
"Five digits?" Hattori Heiji clicked his tongue, "There are [-] possibilities, it takes time to analyze, and there is no such item in the information!"
Kuroba Kaito directly stretched out his hand——

The door was locked.
