Chapter 664: Kidd the Strange Thief and Four Famous Paintings
In Okutama, Tokyo, when Gao Cheng drove to a two-story villa surrounded by mountains with Xiao Ai, he found that the front of the villa was already surrounded by reporters, including the most familiar Nippon Sale TV station, and they actually drove the OB truck for live broadcasting.
"Hello, Detective Joto!"
"Click!" Gao Chengcai got out of the car and a group of reporters crowded over, and the flashing lights kept flashing, causing a small commotion, and the reporters who had not yet reacted were surprised.
"Quick! It's Joto Gaocheng! ”
"Detective Joto! Will you win this matchup with Kidd? ”
"Does Detective Joto have confidence?"
"Sorry, let's go!" Gao Cheng took Xiao Ai and finally squeezed out of the crowd, not only was he not happy because he was sought after, but he felt quite guilty.
That's right, the reason why he came to the mountains this time was because of the strange thief Kidd, to be precise, because of a warning letter from the strange thief Kidd.
The owner of this villa, a famous painter who is nearly 60 years old, contacted his urban detective agency in the afternoon after receiving the advance letter yesterday morning.
But to be honest, Gao Cheng really didn't think Kidd would be interested in an old gentleman's paintings, and only a few days ago he asked that guy to go out to help Akai Shuichi prepare a disguise mask, and he didn't feel that there was any new goal.
There is a high probability that someone is impersonating Kidd this time, and I don't know what the purpose is for the time being, so it's not a good thing anyway.
Gao Cheng straightened his suit and tie in a series of flashes, and went straight to the stinky face of Nakamori Ginzo, the strange thief Kidd's father-in-law is still an old man, and capturing Kidd has become an obsession, but sometimes he trusts Kidd.
I don't know if I've seen through Kidd's identity, so I took the initiative to protect Kidd......
"Hey!" After seeing Gao Cheng, Nakamori Ginzo's face became even more stinky, "This is the scene of the strange thief Kidd's preview, not the scene of the murder, why did the old fox's helper come here?!" ”
"I was commissioned by Mr. Kagawa to deal with the strange thief Kidd......"
Gao Cheng's gaze swept over the police officers behind Nakamori Ginzo who were all slammed in the face.
This guy probably doesn't really know Kidd's identity......
"Officer!" The reporters who followed Gao Cheng surrounded Nakamori Ginzo, "Is the vigilance here foolproof?" ”
"Why did Kidd, who was originally only aiming for gems, start turning to paintings?"
"There are rumors that the notice letter is fake......"
Nakamori Ginzo suppressed his anger and jumped his brows: "No comment!" Please don't step into the scene! Really, it's you people who make a mess every time......"
"But isn't Mr. Kagawa's new work "Qinglan" going to be released for the first time on live TV tonight?"
The reporters discussed: "I heard that the painting has been completed, but it is just a live broadcast of the signing process...... However, the premise is that the painting is not stolen by Kidd, even if it is Kidd's nemesis, Detective Takasei Shiroto, I think I can't prevent it......"
"Hey!" Nakamori said with a dark face, "You say as if we police are air!" Listen to me, you won't be allowed to go in until it's past 8 o'clock tonight, and until you've made sure the painting is safe! ”
"Hey, hey!"
After dealing with the reporters, Nakamori Ginzo hurried to chase Gao Cheng.
"Even you could be Kidd!!"
"Officer Nakamori, if that guy really wants to disguise himself as me, it's useless for you to pull your face no matter how ruthless you are."
"What?" Nakamori looked puzzled.
In the lobby of the villa, Gao Cheng met the client this time and Chuan Wulai, an old man with a hooked nose with a two-pronged mustache, with a big back, looking not like a painting master, but more like a businessman, and he was quite enthusiastic after seeing Gao Cheng.
"This is my assistant Xiao Ai, who is the one who contacted you on the phone......"
After Gao Cheng introduced Xiao Wai, he looked at Chuan Wulai a little strangely.
Although it may be that he is too sensitive, there are few older people who are so enthusiastic about him, and they rarely even think about entrusting him, an excessively young young detective, under normal circumstances.
In the field of private detectives, older people are more or less popular......
"Then I'll lead the way," Takeyoshi Kagawa invited with a smile, "Let's go to the studio where 'Qinglan' is shown first......
"Wu Lai!" A skinny old man with a snow-white thick goatee and squinting eyes like a mouse called out to Takeyoshi Kazukawa, "I have something to say to you......
"I'm sorry, Dad," said Kawa Takeyo, "can you wait a minute?" There are guests there......"
The old gentleman was silent for a while, nodded and left with his hands behind his back: "Okay." ”
"He's my father-in-law," Takeyoshi Kagawa looked at the back of the old gentleman with some helplessness, and explained to Gao Cheng, "It's also my teacher Haruhin Kamihara, don't look at him like this, he used to be a famous painter famous for landscape painting, but 10 years ago, the teacher's hand began to hurt, and now he can't hold a pen......"
"Really?"
Gao Cheng withdrew his gaze from the old gentleman, and when he walked through the corridor, he saw a lot of landscape paintings, all signed by Haruhin Kamihara, and the dates were all 10 years ago.
The studio is on the second floor, not too big, but very empty, with two doors and two windows, in addition to the locked cabinets, there are only a few tables and chairs and an easel covered with a white cloth, and there are plaster statues, brush tools, etc., which looks very much like an art classroom in a school.
Gao Cheng walked to the window where there were many pen holders, and he could see the mountains of Okutama at night, which were quiet, and occasionally he heard the cries of unknown animals.
This is the back of the villa, and below is the cliff that is not too high, and five motorized team members stand guard among the rocks below, and the windows are locked, if anyone chooses to break in the window, they will soon be noticed.
There were also two police officers guarding the doors of the other two rooms, and the red marks on their faces had not disappeared, and they had obviously been vigorously checked.
Nakamori Ginzo has to pay experience against Kidd, although it is not of much use every time, and he should be played or played......
Seeing Gao Cheng looking at the entire studio, he hurriedly explained, "I have a class here once a week, so I have a little more ......."
Gao Cheng's gaze stopped on the ceiling directly opposite the easel: "Is that a surveillance camera?" ”
"Yes, I installed it after I received the teaser letter, and I can shoot "Qinglan" in another room, do you want to go and see it?"
And Kawa Takelai led the way: "Now the surveillance has been taken over by the police......"
"Wu Lai ......" Mr. Shenyuan stood outside the studio, and hurriedly stepped forward when he saw everyone coming out.
"I see, Dad, I'll tell you later."
In the living room of the villa, Nakamori Ginzo was still energetically arranging vigilance affairs, and his expression was quite serious.
"Listen up! There are only 30 minutes left before the preview time, and all the staff have tensed my nerves and been on full alert! Whenever there is any suspicion, no matter how insignificant, report it to me! ”
"Hey, city boy, can you not run around the scene?!" Nakamori Yinsan glared at Gao Cheng and Xiao Wai fiercely, "Do you like to bring children over so much?" ”
"Officer Nakamori, I just want to get familiar with the scene as soon as possible......"
Gao Cheng leaned in front of the surveillance camera controlled by the police.
The monitor window is displayed on the desktop of the laptop, and you can clearly see the easel covered with a white cloth, but there are still many dead corners, and the two doors and windows are in the dead corners.
"Is there only one monitor?"
"Hmph," Nakamori Ginzo said unhappily, "I heard that the monitoring has been installed, who knows that there is only one, and there is no time to prepare...... But having one is better than nothing. ”
"I'm sorry," Takeyoshi Kagawa said apologetically, "I didn't make it clear......"
"Mr. Jichuan," Gao Cheng looked away from the surveillance footage, "can I take a look at this villa by myself?" If it's really Kidd the thief, the more you focus on it, the easier it is to be misled. ”
"Good...... Absolutely. ”
Kazukawa Takeri was slightly stunned, and quickly agreed to come down, but Nakamori Ginzo next to him had a darker face.
What kind of Kidd nemesis, he Nakamori Ginzo doesn't often stop the monster thief Kidd, but he can't catch anyone every time......
