【Chapter 280】It is better to be a broken jade than a complete tile

It's really like a movie, and life is really like a drama. The encounter with the disguised monster made everyone present sigh, and Conan also changed his opinion of the disguised monster.

"Okay, leave this dangerous thing to a professional for safekeeping, as for the matter of gems, we can still discuss." Ji Haihong easily took the pistol of the disguised monster in his hand with a calmness and technique that was different from ordinary people, and even if the disguised monster did not resist, he was taken aback by this child.

What is the origin of the people around this guy Kidd?

Putting this aside for the time being, what the disguised monster is most concerned about now is how Ji Haihong wants to discuss the matter of gems.

"Time is running out now, Jiroyoshi Suzuki and the police will be there soon, Mr. Monster, we will give you the diving equipment, but in exchange, you will give the gem to Kidd, the monster thief."

Hearing this, the disguised monster took a step back and looked at him vigilantly.

Conan understood Ji Haihong's thoughts, and he persuaded: "Mr. Strange Jie, if we insist on not giving you the diving equipment, you will not be able to snatch it, you should know that the strange thief Kidd will return the gem every time he gets it." ”

The disguised monster said coldly: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case." ”

Kidd the Thief said, "The method proposed by the children is the most practical one, you don't have much time to think about it, give me the gem now, and I will return it when the moon shines in the evening." ”

"But ......"

"Don't be in a hurry," Kidd waved his hand, "The condition for returning the gem is that you must go to the Metropolitan Police Department and turn yourself in, like this gem, there can be no contract or other documents when trading, because this is a 'blood gem', and no legal agency will do appraisal or trade for this gem." ”

"There's no way," the disguised monster looked at Kidd standing on a high place, "Kidd, do you know that I'd rather not even die for the sake of this gem, this underground river is connected to a rocky lake, and it is unfathomable. ”

"Could it be that Mr. Jie wants to commit suicide? Jumping into an underground river with a gem, dying, and then Suzuki Jiroyoshi spent tens of millions of dollars to hire tens of thousands of professionals to salvage it, and the result is not difficult to predict, the gem that you have to fight for your life will eventually fall into the hands of others. ”

Conan's eyes slowly closed and then slowly opened again. A perfect plan took shape in his mind, and he asked Strange Jie in disguise: "Mr. Strange Jie, if I can keep your gem and prevent him from falling into the hands of others, can you go to the police station and turn yourself in?" ”

The disguised monster unconsciously raised his chest: "For the sake of the gem, I can do everything!" ”

"It's all gone."

Suzuki Jiroyoshi and the police came to the ground in a hurry, and what Ji Haihong didn't expect was that the relationship between them was obviously very stiff.

Seeing this, Conan smiled as expected.

"Mr. Suzuki! As I said a long time ago, this time we are not going to catch Kidd the thief, but to catch the man who calls himself a 'strange man in disguise' and bring the culprit to justice! But you just insisted on doing so many things without telling us! The stern voice of the Twilight Police Department reached their ears.

Not to be outdone, Jiroji Suzuki: "Hmph! In the end, you policemen don't have to rely on the old man's handwriting to stand here and catch the disguised monster! And this time, even the monster thief Kidd will become the old man's bag! ”

"But you have made our police let our guard down, neither the prisoner nor the jewel can have any surprises!"

Suzuki Jiroji said disdainfully: "Those important facilities are so well protected by your police, what can be any accidents, the gem belongs to the old man, and the disguised monster is also a strong stroke in the glorious history of the old man, and this time the strange thief Kidd is even more inescapable!" ”

What a bunch of idiots, Ji Haihong shook his head helplessly. When these adults came to them, Ji Haihong pointed to the icy river: "Oh no, the strange thief Kidd and the disguised monster have escaped from the underground river!" ”

Unexpectedly, Suzuki Jiroji actually laughed: "The old man had long expected that they would escape from here, so he installed monitors and blocking nets in the waterway in advance, and this time they are the fish in the pot, and they will definitely not escape!" Hahahaha! ”

The more than 10 divers brought by Jiroyoshi Suzuki immediately put on their equipment, and it took a lot of time. After they were ready, Suzuki Jiroji gave an order, and more than a dozen mermaids plunged into the water. Jiroji Suzuki, who has always been more anxious, seemed unhurried this time, he sat on the folding chair arranged by his subordinates, staring at the water quietly, waiting for Kidd and the disguised monster to be captured by the divers.

"Did you find anything?" Goto asked by radio.

"We are still on our way to the barrage net, after all, the river is too deep and very cold, and if nothing else, we will find the target near the net," said the diver leader. ”

Some of the reporters who accompanied the group also recorded this precious moment with tape recorders, cameras and camcorders, and everyone was very confident that Jiroyoshi Suzuki would create the myth.

The myth of bringing the omnipotent monster thief Kedra off the altar.

"Conan-kun! How did you run down there! Xiaolan suddenly appeared from behind Conan and grabbed him, a worried expression written on her face, and there was some blame in her eyes.

A cold sweat broke out on Conan's head: "Sister Xiaolan, it's nothing, I just saw Kidd here, so I followed." ”

Mitsuhiko said, "But this is too risky! We've seen it all above! ”

There are a large number of stalactites underground, and the terrain is very complex, but looking down from above, they are all clear about the actions of the strange thief Kidd and the disguised monster. Tourists took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and their moods were up and down, especially when the explosion occurred, and everyone was worried not about their own safety, but about the safety of the thief Kidd.

After that, the tourists also saw Conan and Ji Haihong, and Xiaolan naturally saw it too.

Worried about Conan's safety, Xiaolan and everyone immediately went to the security room to find Jiroji Suzuki, but they didn't expect him to quarrel with the Twilight Police Department. After arguing for a long time, they were allowed to go underground to find Conan and Ji Haihong.

Conan continued to deal with Xiaolan and the children's questions, Ji Haihong suddenly felt that he had nothing to do, he walked to Gray Yuan's side and stretched: "Ah, Gray Yuan, today is really a good day." ”

Gray Yuan glanced at him and nodded: "Although I don't know what you guys are doing down there, but the monster thief Kidd can't be caught so easily, what Suzuki Jiroji can think of, he can think of." ”

Ali Lianye, who had been following Gray Yuan's side, was curious: "Why do you say that?" In my eyes, this is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and Kidd can't get out of here. ”

"Not necessarily, that guy always likes to create miracles," Ji Haihong shook his head undeniably, "Don't talk about this, it's very cold down here." ”

Ji Haihong took off his jacket and draped it over Gray Yuan, because the weather outside was hot and the constant temperature system in the museum was very advanced, so few tourists wore long-sleeved jackets. Gray Yuan's shirt only has a gray vest and a red short-sleeved shirt, and when he comes to the low temperature of the cave, he will inevitably get cold. Alilianye was wearing a white dress, and she couldn't stand the cold, let alone help Gray Yuan.

Feeling the warmth on his clothes, Gray Yuan tightened his jacket, and looked at Ji Haihong, who was only wearing a black vest on his upper body, and the angular figure set off his sturdy figure, and his heart was also warm.

"Report, we have been looking for a long time, but we have not found any trace of the strange thief Kidd and the disguised monster!"

Jiroyoshi Suzuki stood up and said, "Don't panic! Search again to see if the blocking net has been breached! ”

He came up to Conan and asked, "Kid, did you really see Kidd the Monster Thief and Monster Jie in disguise go into the water?" ”

"Yes," replied Conan honestly, "there seems to be some other agreement between them." ”

"Damn, let the ships and shore personnel on the lake search immediately! The rocky lake is only so big and there are so many of us, we will definitely find them! ”

Conan looked at Jiroyoshi Suzuki like a headless fly, there was no way he could find Kidd, the monster thief.

The plan discussed earlier was very simple, the thief Kidd and the disguised monster first hid in a hidden place that could not be seen from above, and when the team arrived, they would sneak out in disguise. It is true that visitors need to take the elevator on the eighth floor to reach the ground, but it is also possible to go up and exit through the exit. Swaggering and slipping away from the other party's eyelids, did Kidd do less?

Sure enough, twenty minutes passed, and no one found any trace of Kidd.

"It's really annoying old man, I didn't expect them to form an alliance, I thought that with the character of a strange hero in disguise, he would not negotiate any conditions with the strange thief Kidd."

Conan said, "Since Uncle Suzuki knows this, he must also know why the disguised monster wants to retrieve this gem." ”

Jiroji Suzuki was stunned for a moment, and this reaction was seen by the Twilight Police Department.

"I'm curious," Ji Haihong mended, "Uncle Suzuki, where did this gem come from?" Why is it so sneaky, if you buy any gems before, won't you necessarily make a big deal about it and hold an exhibition? As far as I know, the gem has more economic value than the seven sunflowers combined. ”

Suzuki Jiroji was obviously a little flustered, and he said hesitantly: "This, I want to wait until I catch the disguised monster before holding the exhibition with peace of mind." ”

"So the question is, how do you tell the world about the origin of gemstones? From the auction? Sent by an old friend? The Twilight Police Department, does the police know why the disguised monster wants to retrieve this gem. ”

The Twilight Police Department keenly grasped the key words that Ji Haihong said: "'Retrieve'? What does that mean? ”

"It means that you can take back what belongs to you."

Just as the Twilight Police Department asks about these things, Conan receives a message from the strange thief Kidd - it's hard to imagine that he still has this thing with him, doesn't it say that there is a GPS location on it, but the location has disappeared, could it be that Kidd did something too?

There was only one line on the text message: I forgot to tell you, there are too many enemies in disguise.
