Chapter 963 The Disappearing Secret
Conan lowered his half-moon eyes, and Yuya's behavior was simply telling others that what "Sera Masumi" said was true.
No wonder his reasoning got stuck halfway and couldn't move forward. It turned out that there was a key point wrong from the very beginning.
Even though he often relies on his imagination to make inferences, his reasoning is reasonable and based on the clues and evidence he has.
Now that a key point is wrong, the result is naturally very different from the truth.
Nakamori Ginzo asked dissatisfiedly: "Hey, kid, what's going on? Why is the turtle on the old man's body?"
Being watched by so many people, Yuya and Miyano Shiho couldn't hold on to Kid anymore and reluctantly let go.
Yuya scratched his hair and said helplessly: "In fact, from the beginning, the turtle was not stolen by Kidd, it just disappeared from everyone's sight."
"Disappeared from sight?" Nakamori Gin was full of question marks.
Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn to Yuya, Kidd rolled his eyes and began looking for an opportunity to escape.
Yuya nodded, borrowed the cheapest 100 yen lighter from someone, walked to the front of the aquarium, and reached his hand over it: "Everyone, look carefully, it's like this..."
As his hand loosened, the lighter fell freely into the aquarium. However, to everyone's surprise, the lighter disappeared after it fell.
"What exactly is going on?"
Ginzo Nakamori was very surprised. He climbed up the ladder and looked down. He found that the lighter was not really disappeared, but was tightly attached to the glass of the aquarium. On the outside of the glass was a metal sign with the words "Red-Faced Mermaid" written on it.
"What's going on? Is it sucked on?" Nakamori Ginzo shouted loudly, and subconsciously reached out to take the lighter, only to find that it was not only sucked on, but there was also adhesive on the glass that stuck the lighter.
"Is there still adhesive on it?"
"That's right," Youye shook his finger, "There's actually a strong magnet behind that metal nameplate. The ignition part of the lighter usually contains iron, so it will be attracted to it."
"But this alone is not enough to keep the turtle still, so adhesive is needed to further fix it."
"But," Nakamori Ginzo raised a question, "turtles won't be attracted by magnets, and the chain around the gem is made of pure gold. The buckle is made of iron, but it's impossible for that little bit to attract the turtle, right?"
Yuya raised a finger and shook it: "Have you forgotten that there should be a lot of things in the turtle's abdomen..."
"Abdomen?" Nakamori Ginzo recalled the turtle's appearance and said doubtfully, "Aren't those gems? You don't think magnets can attract gems? How is that possible?"
Speaking of gemstones, no one present knew more about them than Kidd. He couldn't help but ask, "If those were synthetic gemstones, then it would be a different matter, right?"
"Huh?" People who didn't know the other secrets all showed puzzled expressions.
Kidd explained proudly, "There is a certain amount of iron in the solvent used to make synthetic gemstones. It is possible that it will become one of the contents of the gemstones and be mixed in the crystals. It is not surprising that the turtle has so many synthetic gemstones in its abdomen that it is attracted by the magnet."
"Solvent...contents?" Nakamori Ginzo's small eyes were filled with big question marks. Why couldn't he understand?
Many people are like this too.
Miyano Shiho curled her lips. How could a thief who specialized in stealing gems not know much about gems?
Suzuki Sonoko, however, looked at Kidd with shining eyes, secretly proud of herself. It was indeed worthy of the admiration of Mr. Kidd, who knew so much about gems.
Mao Lilan couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sera, you are amazing, you even know this?"
Conan immediately glared at Kid with murderous eyes.
Kidd felt a chill on his back, and he no longer dared to be complacent. He laughed dryly, "Ahaha, this is just something I occasionally saw on TV..."
Nakamori Ginzo couldn't help but mutter, "Does TV still broadcast this kind of thing nowadays?"
Kidd chuckled twice and got away with it.
Yuya wasn't going to let Kid keep showing off, so he interrupted, "Sera is right. Because of the iron in the synthetic gem, the turtle will be attracted to it by the magnet. At the same time, in order to prevent the turtle from breaking free, an adhesive was applied."
"Well, the turtle's swimming in the water is basically not fixed, so in order to ensure that the turtle is close to the magnet, some feed should be sprinkled on it, right?"
After hearing this, Ginzo Nakamori immediately looked at the lighter and found some debris on it, which should be the feed.
"As for where the feed came from," Youye looked up at the ceiling where a chandelier was hanging, "it should have been scattered during the explosion, right? If you add some iron filings to the feed, it will be sucked over along with the feed."
"The turtle is only about ten centimeters in size and can be completely hidden by the nameplate. From the outside, it looks like the turtle has disappeared from the aquarium."
"I see!" Nakamori Ginzo suddenly realized, but at the same time he was a little confused, "But when did the old man hide the turtle on his body...ah! It was at that time!"
He suddenly thought of something and looked fiercely at Suzuki Jirokichi - after discovering that the turtle had disappeared, only one person climbed up the ladder to check inside the aquarium. It must have been at that time!
Suzuki Jirokichi snorted with a cold face.
Nakamori Ginzo stepped forward immediately, grabbed Suzuki Jirokichi's clothes and pushed him into his arms. The next second, he screamed and struggled to pull his hand out.
The turtle was seen biting his finger tightly and was pulled out.
Ginzo Nakamori screamed and shook his hands off, finally getting rid of the turtle and holding his finger in his mouth with tears in his eyes.
Mao Lilan reached out to catch the turtle, examined it carefully, and found that the turtle was still in good spirits, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Nakamori Ginzo was furious, and grabbed Suzuki Jirokichi's face and pulled him up: "Are you the Kaito Kid?!"
"No, that's not it!" Suzuki Jirokichi screamed in agony as he was pulled apart, "There's a reason for this!"
"What's the reason?" Nakamori Ginzo asked loudly, "Have you become Kidd's accomplice?"
Yuya crossed his arms and said calmly, "The turtle's name is Poseidon, but the turtle's owner is a famous Italian singer. Don't you think it's unreasonable?"
"What's unreasonable?" Ginzo Nakamori asked blankly.
Yuya shrugged his shoulders, as if he thought your knowledge was too limited. Nakamori Ginzo couldn't help but make a cross on his forehead.
Seeing this, Shiho Miyano helped explain: "Poseidon is the god of the sea in Greek mythology. As an Italian singer, shouldn't you use the name of Neptune, the god of the sea in Roman mythology, to name your singer?"
"Is that so?" Nakamori Ginzo blinked his eyes. Do young people nowadays know so much?
