Chapter 926: The Treasure Trove
MΔori Detective Agency.
Mori Kogoro sat by the window of his desk as usual, with his legs on the table and a pair of headphones looking solemn.
"The situation is grim...... Mori Kogoro sat up straight suddenly, sweat flowing like a waterfall on his head.
"It's number three!"
"It's just a little bit!!"
Maori Kogoro was devastated and angrily ripped off his headphones and looked at Conan who was out on the phone.
Every time this kid is around, Marseille doesn't go well!
This will Conan is talking to Gao Cheng.
"You can't be mistaken, the figure of Daisuke Dimension has appeared next to the noble singer Emilio...... I wonder why it was in that kind of place, and what the hell was Lupin III's idea......"
Conan noticed that Mori Kogoro's face was ugly in the office, and continued to lower his voice.
"If he's aiming for cherry sapphires, what's the connection...... By the way, you'll also be part of the Lupin hunt, right? β
"Yes," Gao Cheng happened to be shopping with the garden, and responded while the garden was in the store to try on clothes, "Tomorrow at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, they will go to the Italian star after school, and I don't know if it's too late." β
"You're going too?"
"Or else?"
Gao Cheng looked at the excited garden in the store.
"You'd better look at Xiaolan too, that Emilio seems to be super popular in Japan, especially popular with girls."
"Won't it?"
The corners of Conan's mouth were crooked, and a cold sweat flowed from his forehead.
Speaking of which, since receiving the call from the garden, Xiaolan has been in a good mood, and she is trying to hide it from him and her uncle.
"Hey!" Mori Kogoro knocked on the table and shouted to Conan, who was mysterious outside, "Who are you talking to on the phone again?!" β
"It's Brother Joto," Conan grinned dryly, grabbing the back of his head, "Brother Joto will follow Officer Qian to arrest Lupin III tomorrow......"
"Lupin III?"
Kogoro Mori raised his eyebrows, and his face quickly sank.
He didn't hear anything at all, and he was a city boy again......
"Hmph, it's just a thief, and I don't need to be the number one detective in Japan."
β¦β¦
The next day, Dongdu Bank.
By the time Lupin had been announced, the streets had been blocked, helicopters and armored vehicles were in place, and even missiles had been arranged.
"There are still 5 minutes left before the crime time predicted by Lupin, all roads are blocked, and vehicles will be closed from now on, except for the people in the bank, all will be contacted by channel B!"
The Dongdu Bank was also completely sealed, and the inner hall was also equipped with police forces, waiting for Lupin to appear.
Qian Xing took Sato and Takagi to the outside of the vault with the bank president, and two mobile team members guarded the door.
"The police department," Sato said strangely, "isn't Joto here?" β
"He seems to have something to investigate."
Qian Xing explained, standing in front of the dense door of the vault and asked the president.
"Have you made contact with the owner of the sapphire?"
"Well, we also recommend that we move to another place for safekeeping for the time being," the governor nodded, "but Mr. Hideshin Gogo doesn't think it's necessary, and he trusts the Japanese police's ability." β
"If you protect the ...... of the hero's heart"
Gao Cheng investigates the cherry sapphire and follows the owner of the sapphire to a defunct repair shop, and the iron roller door at the entrance has been refurbished, and the time is not long.
It is obviously impossible for someone who can afford to use the rent vault of the Toto Bank to live in such a place, in fact it is a temporary secret base.
Wakago Shige's true identity is Goemon.
This is what Gao Cheng discovered after sneaking into the inside of the repair shop.
The location of the repair shop is not large, it is the size of a family, there is a yard outside, plus a garage, and then there is a dilapidated two-story building, the front part of the house is a maintenance workshop, the back is the living area, and the second floor of the attic is inhabited.
In the aftermath of the economic crisis, there have been many small private repair shops like this in Tokyo, which is not particularly remarkable.
"Please use tea."
Outside the old kitchen, Goemon and Takasei knelt on the tatami mat facing each other, and next to the two of them were placed the iron sword and the wooden knife Star Shatter, and after bringing the tea, Goemon couldn't help but look at the wooden knife a few more times.
I don't see anything special.
But even such an ordinary wooden knife can resist the iron sword without the slightest damage.
"In other words," Gao Cheng didn't drink tea, but looked directly at Goemon, "the real owner of that cherry sapphire is actually you, who saved it in the bank vault and then stole it yourself?" Insurance fraud? β
"I didn't have insurance." Goemon looked away from the Wooden Knife Star Shatter and replied calmly.
Gao Cheng came directly to the door completely beyond his expectations, and even Lu Pin didn't expect that compared to swordsmanship, the ability of a detective is still an investigation.
Lupin was careless......
"Don't worry," Gao Cheng looked at Goemon who lowered his eyelids and smiled, "I'm just here to wonder what Lupin is up to, what is the purpose of your coming to Japan...... The police, including Uncle Qianxing, don't know yet. β
Goemon itself is just the force of Lupin's team, and this kind of thing has always been the responsibility of Lupin and Daisuke Jiyuan, and he doesn't know how to deal with Gao Cheng, and neither force nor IQ seems to be an opponent.
I was about to make a call to Daisuke Dimension, and I couldn't help but raise my eyelids when I heard Gao Cheng's words, but I still didn't say anything.
"Then I'll take my leave," Gao Cheng stood up with a wooden knife, paused as he went out, and then turned back and said, "No matter what your plans are, if it's too out of line, I won't let you leave Japan." β
Goemon still knelt and watched Takasei leave.
Being targeted by such a master, Lupin is in trouble......
Near the Todo Bank, in a dimly lit subway passage, a tram braked suddenly.
"100 meters in front of Simi Flower Station, there is suspected of a collision accident!"
Not far from the railroad tracks, Sato and Lupin, who were weak, confronted each other, and were almost run over by a tram on the railroad tracks because they were electrocuted by Lupin in the bank vault.
"Hey," Lupin said helplessly as he rescued Sato, "I'm too persistent, Miss......"
Sato struggled to prop up his body and looked at Lu Bang and said, "Don't, don't try to escape!" β
"Spare me, miss," Lupin said with a smile as he left the aisle, "and we'll play together when you're well." β
"Lupin ββ!"
The iron gate on the side of the subway passage leads to the common pipe ditch of the power company, and there is little behind it to stop Lupin III from escaping, so Sato can only ask the captain of the stopped tram to pass on a message to the police.
If Gao Chengzai had been able to catch Lu Bang, he didn't know what Gao Cheng was going to investigate.
Sato sighed in annoyance.
If it was Gao Cheng, he would definitely not be deceived by Lu Bang disguised as Takagi as easily as her.
The Sakura Hotel, the hotel where the last Wispanian royal family stayed, Lupin the Third was waiting in the underground parking lot, and after smoking a cigarette, he saw several black cars enter the parking lot, and there was a minivan behind it.
The car door opened, and Fujiko Mine, wearing a collar bomb around her neck, appeared in front of Lupin III.
At the same time, several vicious gunmen walked down the black car, the windows rolled down, and a man in a blonde suit said coldly: "Hurry up and complete the transaction, and hand over the things to Fujiko......"
Gao Cheng leaned behind a pillar, glanced at Lupin III, who took out the cherry sapphire to trade, and walked out of the parking lot to answer the phone.
"Ah Cheng!" Yuan Zi complained on the phone, "Where have you been, why didn't I see you?!" β
"I've already arrived at the hotel," Gao Cheng grinned, "let's meet in front of the hotel." β
"Why are you here at the hotel?" Yuan Zihu said suspiciously.
"There's just something going on here."
Gao Cheng put away his phone.
Sure enough, Lu Bang and these people came to Japan for another purpose, and it still seems to be a big case, maybe they can get a few rare skill cards in their accounts.
For him, Lupin and these people are a treasure trove.
If it's just a duel between a detective and a thief, it may not necessarily be good, but when it comes to big cases, you should be able to draw at least one core skill.
