Chapter 23: Gorgeous Phantom Thief (Part 1)
“Delayed release?”
In an apartment, a man in his thirties jumped up and said, "What a joke!"
He said with anger at the man opposite, Sun Yang, the editor of the weekly boy, said: "Weekly magazines are used to readers. Your behavior will destroy the credibility accumulated over the years, and it is simply incomprehensible!"
It takes several years for a magazine to develop a fixed reader habit, but delaying the release at will, if it happens a few times, will make readers lose their trust and will be unfair to other cartoonists.
"Teacher Tomato, calm down!"
Sun Yang was sweating profusely and explained nervously: "It is also difficult for the company to make this decision, but Teacher He Xi can still work so actively in the face of "Detective Sherlock", and the editors want to help him."
"Just because he is a genius?"
The real name of this man, known as Mr. Tomato, Zhang Yuanhua, is a veteran cartoonist at Phoenix Company: "He is also genius, no matter what company it is!"
“…”
Sun Yang was speechless. Before publishing the original comic, Zhang Yuanhua was a cartoonist at Longteng Company. He was abandoned because of a dispute with a talented person. Although he later switched to Phoenix Company, he also began to have prejudice against geniuses.
He is a hardworking family, without talent, and now he relies on sweat.
At this time, Sun Yang suddenly remembered that when he took over Zhang Yuanhua, he heard that the person who had a dispute with him was an idol cartoonist, an idol cartoonist - wasn't that the Mach teacher who got the adaptation of the comic "Detective Sherlock"?
No wonder he was so angry. Mach and He Xi were both geniuses, and it was normal for Zhang Yuanhua to be unbalanced.
Sun Yang could only comfort him and switch the topic away.
However, he didn't know that Zhang Yuanhua's anger had not disappeared. The professional cartoonist came to the bookstore early the next day to buy "Weekly Boy". He wanted to see what was special about the comic He Xi had been delaying for a day.
If the content is the same as usual, Zhang Yuanhua has to consider whether to change jobs. He draws comics everywhere he goes. He doesn't want to stay in a company that treats geniuses preferentially and ignores the lives and deaths of other cartoonists!
One day delay, "Weekly Boy" was released successfully.
Zhang Yuanhua found that the bookstore was deserted than in the previous few weeks and sneered in his heart. It was obvious that yesterday's incident had made some readers give up this issue of "Weekly Boy", but there were still many people buying it. Zhang Yuanhua grabbed it when there were only three books left.
Zhang Yuanhua was stunned when he saw this issue of "Weekly Boy".
The cover of this issue is a strange man who can't see his face clearly. He has a high hat, a white dress, and a monocle glasses on his right eye. He is dressed as a magician. He stands at the top of the building. There is a hovering helicopter in the sky, and behind it is a brightly lit city, arrogant and mysterious.
"Oh my God! He's so handsome!"
The girl who came next to her exclaimed and interrupted her thoughts, and she was shocked and jealous. This painting, this suffocating beauty - a scene that she could never draw. This is a gorgeous painting technique that only a few people can do, as magnificent as a show-off!
He Xi, an annoying genius.
Zhang Yuanhua opened "Weekly Boy" with jealousy. As he expected, the serialization order of "Detective Conan" ranks first. After one day, what kind of story does it give? The magician's murder case? Is such a beautiful cover just for a case?
However, the beginning of the plot puzzled Zhang Yuanhua. He did not see the man on the cover, and the plot was not like a magician. The beginning was very plain. The detective office where Conan was located received a job to protect jewelry, saying that an international monster thief would steal it.
This is a legendary and internationally renowned thief. He committed crimes in 12 countries including the United States, Britain, France, etc. He specialized in stealing high-priced art and jewelry. The total number of stolen items exceeded 150, and the criminal code was 1412.
"Miracle thief?"
A ridiculous guess came to Zhang Yuanhua's heart. Could the handsome man on the cover be a thief? Shouldn't the thief cover his face and sneak in, how can he dress like a magician? It's impossible... he continued to watch.
Conan and his group did not find the monster thief in the exhibition hall. They returned to the detective center. In the middle of the night, Conan quietly left alone to catch the monster thief. It turned out that he had already unlocked the secret code left by the monster thief and blocked the monster thief at the top of the building.
The mysterious monster thief fell from the sky like a bird. He was elegant and calm, and he was indeed the magician on the cover!
Zhang Yuanhua was extremely surprised. How could this monster thief appear from the sky? And the thief could draw like this. He had never seen such a thief in novels and comics.
"Blame the thief Kid..."
He continued to watch anxiously.
Conan exerted his reasoning ability as usual. He prepared fireworks in advance and used them to attract the attention of the police from afar. According to usual, Kidd, the monster thief, should have been caught like other criminals.
However, Kidd's actions were even more unexpected. He calmly took out the walkie-talkie and simulated the voice of the senior police officers and commanded all the police forces around him. What was even more surprising was that he called all the police forces to the building where he was and was instantly surrounded by the police.
"What's the point of death?"
Zhang Yuanhua felt a chaotic feeling. He couldn't understand Kidd's actions. Why did he fall into the trap? Since he could command the police, why didn't he take the opportunity to escape?
The following plot answers him...
"Little brother, I'll tell you. If the monster thief uses gorgeous techniques to steal treasures and is a creative artist, then the detective is following the monster thief and is just a critic at best."
The monster thief Kid said this to Conan calmly and gracefully under the siege.
Then a smoke bomb fell on his cuff and the person disappeared - yes, this monster thief disappeared at the top of the building with magical skills, surrounded by all the police, and no one knew how he escaped.
Like a magician...
The strange thief Kid was sweating behind Zhang Yuanhua, and the strange thief Kid was mysterious, evil, gorgeous and handsome, as if he could do anything. In just one sentence, the charm of the character He Xi created shocked professional cartoonists. It is conceivable how great excitement the character Kidd is for readers!
But this monster thief broke the myth of reasoning of the protagonist Conan. Is this appropriate? How should we continue to develop in the future?
"This is the first collection of the monster thief chapter of "Detective Conan". The "Detective Single Book" released next week will be given the second collection of the monster thief chapter!"
On the last page, the single book started to advertise openly. Zhang Yuanhua knew the answer, and he couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning. It turned out that these words were foreshadowing for single book. If you want to know how Conan took back the place in front of the monster thief, you can only buy the single book.
Chapter completed!
