A cloud of smoke suddenly burst across the night sky, drawing everyone's attention.
As the smoke cleared, a figure in a white tuxedo, white top hat, and monocle suddenly appeared above the crowd.
Dozens of meters in the air, Kid had actually put away his hang glider and was standing there leisurely in midair!
"Wow—!"
Inside the Suzuki Museum's Surveillance Room.
Suzuki Sonoko was already shaking the technician, telling him to project the surveillance footage with the best view onto the largest screen.
Watching that cinematic entrance, she could not help but marvel, "That's amazing! He's actually standing in midair!"
After a pause, she finally realized, "Wait, why can he stand in the sky?!"
Haibara Ai: "..." You finally noticed the important part...
The Mini Scientist was also somewhat puzzled by this anti-gravity phenomenon. She guessed, "He happened to appear between two high-rises, and the height he's floating at doesn't exceed either building... Could something have been set up between the two buildings to support him?"
Mouri Ran looked at her in surprise, thinking of another first-grade elementary school student: "..." What was wrong with kids these days? Why was every one of them as clear-minded as a high school student...
Suzuki Jirokichi, however, was perfectly accepting of smart children. He snorted and agreed with Haibara Ai's guess. "That's right. It must be some cheap little trick like that."
As he spoke, he picked up his Walkie-talkie and ordered the security team he had hired at great expense, "Kid has appeared! Get the nearby Helicopters over to him immediately and cut every Steel Wire around him—front, back, left, and right! Without support, let's see how he pulls off this flying-man act!"
No. 7 Helicopter was closest. It immediately followed Suzuki Jirokichi's orders, lowering its altitude until it hovered above Kid.
