Part 9: Meet you Nemesis

"Won't you stay for a chat? It's been eight years since we last met in these circumstances, please, I insist." Kudo Yusaku adjusted his glasses.

His invitation sounded more like a demand.
Facing him directly, Suzuki argued, "Mr. Kudo, I don't know what you're talking about. Kid had already stolen the gems using a pigeon. And just now, the Kaitou Kid seen on the rooftop was clearly visible to everyone, including me, wasn't it?"
Kudo chuckled softly, "That was probably a decoy, an inflatable dummy. When the white doves flew away, they punctured the dummy, making Kid seemingly disappear. The feathers on the ground were likely to obscure the balloon remnants."
"If I were Kid, how could I steal the gems?"
"Simple. You probably kidnapped old man Suzuki and impersonated him.I am guessing that you approached Mr. Suzuki as a guard. When the feathers blocked everybody's vision, you instructed your assistant to use a special liquid on the gems from the ceiling, actually coating them, and because you set the room temperature pretty low, the coating stiffened and covered the gems, like pottery clay, making them look like they were stolen. Finally, you came in as Suzuki and stole the real gem."
"Hahaha, Mr. Kudo makes a good point. But how would I steal the gems without damaging the statue? Remember, Medusa is a once-in-a-century masterpiece, I wouldn't damage my asset on purpose. "
"You can take the gem without hurting the statue. Even Mr. Suzuki knew that the gems are not the original ones that come with the statue, he said that the eyes of Medusa are put inside by the former collector."
Another voice sounded from behind. Kid didn't need to turn to recognize it. Closing his eyes, he said, "Oh? Kudo Shinichi, what should I do?"
"Just like I just said. Those eyes have been embedded in the statue on purpose, so the collector used another method and didn't hurt the statue. He used an alloy to stick the gem and the statue. Do you see Medusa's silver white eyelashes and shadows?On top of that, In Greek mythology, Medusa was cursed by Athena, transforming from a pitiful woman into a snake-haired monster. Anyone who saw her turned to stone. After you deceive everyone to believe the gems have been stolen,you use sunglasses to focus and reflect the spotlight, rapidly heating Medusa's eye sockets. After deforming from the heat, the gem edge melted and it fell out easily. I am guessing the edge of that gem is made of Bi-Pb-Sn-Cd-In-Tl, that is how the former owner put the gem eyes in it in the first place, and the reason why Medusa's eyes sockets have layers of beautiful silver luster. Like a female's eye shadows. That certain kind of alloy has a low melting point. Around 41.5 °C (107 °F) Only need to heat a little bit, then you can reach your goal easily. As for the proof? Check your sunglasses—they're actually convex mirrors! Wearing a floral shirt to slightly obscure them, no one would notice the difference between your specialized glasses with Suzuki's normal sunglasses, even if someone spotted the differences, they might think it's a new tech product. After all, old man Suzuki is a wealthy spendthrift."
Kid smirked, "Hahaha, exactly,Meitantei."
With a flourish, Kid's signature white outfit appeared before everyone. The policemen below yelled and rushed into the building, but Kid remained unfazed.
"I'm terribly sorry to drag you all into this on your day off, but I have urgent matters to attend to. I must go." With a snap of his fingers, the scattered feathers on the ground suddenly lifted as if alive, soaring out the window towards the rooftop, forming white ribbons of feathers that flew to a helicopter.
"Captain! Unknown flying objects are blocking my view, what should I do?"
"Report, sir! Kid... Kid has disappeared!"
"What?! Where is Kid? Unit 8, Unit 8!" Inspector Nakamori yelled into the walkie-talkie.
"Reporting, this is Unit 8 at the highest point, no sight of Kid." Kid smiled and used a totally different voice.
Kudo Yusaku gave a slight smile, "Inspector, Kaitou Kid is in Unit 8. Using the flying objects to block the view, he leveraged the high vantage point to jump into the helicopter. His accomplice must have been waiting inside from the start."
"As expected of Kudo Yusaku. You even noticed this... Can't blame the police department for finding a helper from outside, on the other hand, I'm in a rush this time. Let them off easy for once," Kid mused, calmly committing every detail to memory.
He didn't need to keep the gems. Leaping, he ignored gravity, standing on the tail of Unit 8's helicopter like a dragonfly on water, then soared away.
"Look! It's Kaitou Kid!"
"Ah! Kid-sama!"
"Take me with you, Kid-sama!"
Watching the arrogant thief disappear, Kudo Shinichi yelled, "Kaitou Kid!!!"
Turning around, he saw his father's gentle smile, with a hidden excitement. It had been a long time since he saw this expression—a determination to prove oneself.
"Dad?"
"Interesting... Kaitou Kid, was it?"
