Exhibition of artifacts at the Tokyo National Museum.

Like all idiots who received a warning letter from the thieves and believed that they would succeed in catching the thieves, the Tokyo National Museum did not choose to close or cancel the exhibition, but remained open.

And that's not all.........

"That's a lot of people."

Looking at the crowded scene, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he thought that no one came to this monotonous cultural relics exhibition.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's all our work, Mr. Fangzheng."

Flanda, who was walking beside Fang Zheng, also smiled when she heard Fang Zheng's emotion.

"Riko sent the invitation not only to the organizers, but also to various media and news organizations, and even online media, and now the whole of Japan knows about it, and as a result, after all, this is the information age."

"Yes, this is the information age."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng also nodded, as Flanda said, if the previous monster thief sent an invitation, as long as it was properly controlled, the news would hardly spread. But now it's different, as long as you spread the word on the Internet and find a few media outlets to blow the news, it's not impossible for this kind of thing to spread all over Japan overnight.

"So these people are actually here to see the fun?"

"Of course, this is the scene of witnessing the appearance of a strange thief, who would be a normal person to let go of this kind of excitement? Isn't that what it turned out to be? ”

That's right.

"But then again......... What does this notice letter mean? ”

Fang Zheng said as he turned on his phone and swiped it, as Flanda said, the Internet was full of news about the strange thief Lupin IV coming to the Rijksmuseum to steal the exhibits. And it also gives Riko's warning letter, and like all the monster thieves' warning letters, it has completely confusing words written on it.

"Under the guidance of the shepherd maiden, I will come with the wind to greet the child who longs to return to his mother's arms——— Lupin IV."

"Hey, hey, Mr. Founder, do you want to know? I'm going to tell you the result......... It's no secret. ”

As she spoke, Franda leaned into Fangzheng's ear.

The shepherd girl was referring to the record of Professor Moriarty during the Uncanny Valley incident, when he found in Professor Moriarty's study a painting by the eighteenth-century French painter Jean Moriarty. Baptiste. Groz's oil painting "Shepherd Girl" once sold for a whopping 1.2 million francs. And it was this painting that aroused the suspicion of Sherlock Holmes that Moriarty, as a professor, could not have had so much money........."

"Uh-huh, so what?"

According to Riko, the shepherd girl's name appears in the tenth row of the third line on page 12 of the Uncanny Valley Record......... That's the time she played——— 12:30, but in fact........."

Saying this, Flanda smiled.

"That's the English version, or the French version, it's the first row of line 24, which is 24:01. As a result, it seems that these police officers have not found clues at all. ”

"Hehe, Riko is really planning to persecute Aria."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng also shook his head helplessly. Obviously, the shepherd girl is used to refer to herself, and Riko's advance letter translates to "Under the guidance of Professor Moriarty, I will come to visit at 24:01 and steal the treasure." ”

That's it, what makes Fang Zheng even more interesting is that the entire clue is all related to Sherlock Holmes, that is, if Aria is a member of the real Sherlock Holmes family, then she should definitely be able to think of this clue, but if she can't think of it in the end, and is also succeeded by Riko, it will definitely be ridiculed and hit by Riko to autism.

After all, she's a descendant of Sherlock Holmes, and you can't even remember the deeds of your ancestors?

But Fang Zheng doesn't plan to take care of it, in the final analysis, it's just a prank of the little girl, if Riko really wants to persecute Aria, not to mention anything else, as long as she transforms into Alia, and then leaves her hair or DNA at the scene of the crime, Aria has no choice but to go to prison with her mother.

Not only that, even if Flanda didn't say it, Founder also found out that Riko was playing a little word game, and the teaser letter didn't say what day it was, but it was written "under the watchful eye", so ordinary people who read the teaser letter would definitely think that the other party was planning to do it when the Tokyo Museum was launched, but in fact, even if there were only police here, it could be regarded as under the watchful eye, not to mention that Riko had applied for the live broadcast permission of the whole network from Founder through her personal terminal before.........

Fang Zheng can now understand what Riko's idea is.

If it is broadcast live on the whole network, it will definitely be in the spotlight.

So......... Times have changed, brothers.

Looking at the armed investigation students walking around dressed as staff, as well as the policemen who were on strict alert, Fang Zheng also shook his head.

At the same time, in the director's room of the museum, the senior executives from the armed police, the police and the exhibition hall were all looking at the notice letter in front of them with solemn faces.

"So far, we can only guess that the date of the other party's announcement should be today."

A senior police officer spoke, then looked at the curator.

"So, curator, do you have any impression of what cultural relics the other party is trying to steal? This 'child who longs to return to his mother's arms' should be a hint. Are there any specific cultural relics? ”

"This ......... This ........."

The curator was also sweating profusely at this time, and he didn't know what to say. Of course he could see the meaning, but he really didn't know, they had heard the rumors of Lupin IV, who often stole artifacts from museums and then returned them to their rightful owners. Logically speaking, the artifact that Lupin IV wants to steal at the moment must be the same, but the problem is .........

"We really don't have a clue........."

Eventually, the curator bowed his head.

After all, seriously speaking, most of the cultural relics in this exhibition were looted from other countries in the past!

If you really want to say anything, it's possible!

"Woo..............."

Looking at the teaser letter in front of her, Aria also frowned, as an S-level detective, she had never encountered such a problem, Aria had a feeling that this time the other party was deliberately looking for trouble for herself. But even so, she still couldn't solve the mystery......... This made Aria feel very frustrated.

"In any case, all we can do now is to strengthen our guard and never allow that thief to succeed again! That guy deliberately posted a teaser letter on the Internet and gathered so many people just to fish in troubled waters! Therefore, we must strengthen our vigilance and absolutely not relax! ”

It's funny.

Sitting on a chair not far away, drinking coffee, Fang Zheng looked at the heavily guarded museum, and nodded secretly. I have to admit that Riko does have Lupin's genes, and she deliberately did this to make people mistakenly think that she was planning to fish in troubled waters when there were many people.

When there are many people, the security force is naturally weak, and it is easier to fish in troubled waters than when there are fewer people, which is common sense. But Riko does the opposite, and it's true that if there are too many people, you will lose concentration, but because of this, security work requires more energy than usual.

It's like running a long distance, where the others run as hard as they can, and then wait until they're exhausted before they take it easy.

After all, super-strength security is very energy-consuming, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves.

Well?

At this moment, Fang Zheng suddenly noticed a glimpse of sight, he raised his head and looked into the distance, only to see that on the top floor on the other side of the museum, a short-haired girl was standing there, staring at him. As if she had discovered something, the girl quickly turned around and left the moment Fang Zheng's gaze came.

Reggie? What does she want to do?

Squinting his eyes and thinking for a moment, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

Forget it, you'll know when the time comes.

Soon, the day is over.

"This exhibition ends here today, please leave the venue in an orderly manner."

With the electronic sound playing, the visitors all left the museum with a look of speechlessness and disappointment.

"Really, I thought I could see the thief Lupin IV!"

"According to my reasoning, she should have appeared!"

"It means that your reasoning is not right at all, come on, you're just a member of the reasoning club, and you really think of yourself as a detective."

"Hey, what a waste of time, I still took a leave of absence to hang out here for a day........."

Seeing the crowd disperse, the armed investigators and police in charge of security breathed a sigh of relief, and then, the police department in charge of on-site command also quickly issued an order.

"Close the museum immediately, carry out an inventory and investigation of all cultural relics, and block all entrances and exits!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the detectives and the police went into action again, and then worked with the museum's experts to count the collections.

They were even mentally prepared for the collection to be dropped or missing, but what people didn't expect was that until the inventory was completely completed, no omissions were found.

What's going on?

"All in all, that's all for today, you can go back and rest."

Although the police department at the scene didn't know what the situation was, they finally thought that it was very likely that their side had made a mistake, maybe the other party didn't choose today at all, and now is not the time for all eyes to watch, most people should go to sleep, right?

Although the strange thief Lupin IV is haunted, he has never lied and deceived people.

Nothing should happen in the evening.

Thinking of this, the police department also asked the armed detective who was responsible for assisting the security to go back to school first, and at the same time asked some of the police to go back to duty and rest, while he himself stayed here and continued to study the advance letter.

At this moment, it is approaching twelve o'clock.

"It's time, Professor Moriarty."

Standing at the top of the tower, looking at the museum not far away, Flanda smiled smugly and looked at Fang Zheng with the mask next to him.

"yes, yes."

Fang Zheng glanced at his watch.

"It's already twelve o'clock, and there's still a minute."

Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One.........

Just as the second hand returned to square one again, Franda pressed the button in her hand.

Meanwhile............... The whole museum suddenly went dark.

Not just the museum, in fact, the entire neighborhood was darkened as a result. Only the light of the flare in the dark night flickered incessantly.

"BIU——————— bang!"

The dazzling light shot straight into the sky, illuminating the already dark city.

"What's that?"

"Flares?!"

Sensing the strange light coming from the sky, the police department immediately stood up and walked to the window to look out, and the others were also dumbfounded.

What are you kidding, this is not a time of war, what kind of flares!

"Bang Bang Bang !!"

Soon, a series of flares flew up, illuminating the entire night sky in a snow-white color. And this also made those in the city who were already ready to rest, or even have rested, wake up, they went to the window, looked at this strange scene outside, and did not know what the situation was.

"Lupin is coming! Lupin IV is coming, everyone, everyone on alert!! ”

The police department rushed out of the office in a hurry, shouting and trying to call the museum guards, but what he didn't expect was that he had just arrived in the hall and saw a girl dressed as a strange thief standing there, holding a vase in her hand.

"Hee-hee-........."

Seeing the police department in front of him, Riko grimaced at him, and at this moment, the police department hurriedly picked up the gun and aimed it at Riko. At this moment, other policemen also rushed over from all directions, picked up their guns and pointed them at Riko.

"Hands up, Lupin IV, I now officially arrest you!"

"Then it depends on whether you have the ability to do it."

Riko grinned, and then she stepped back as if she were dancing, while the police department continued to clutch her gun.

"You have nowhere to escape, the entire museum has been completely locked down, not even a single mouse can get out, you better catch it! I don't know where you were hiding before, but here, you can't escape. ”

Speaking of this, the police department is also quite proud, just in case, he also put a lot of effort, after the closure just now, the entire exhibition hall was directly completely blocked, and now Lupin IV can't escape even if he wants to!

"Yes........."

Hearing what the police department said, Riko nodded.

"It's true that it's hard to get out of here now, like you said, it's like a can, but ........."

Riko grinned.

"If you can make it, you can open it, right?"

As Riko's voice fell, the next moment, a gust of air suddenly erupted, and then, the entire dome of the Tokyo National Museum was directly blown up with a "boom" and lifted up!
