Chapter 45: The Strength of the Jewel Thief
The next morning, Yoshitsuru Yamamoto was woken up, and it was Moriran who woke him up, saying that Officer Twilight had come and asked him to get up.
Looking at the alarm clock on the table, it was already past 9 o'clock, Yamamoto Yoshitsuru got dressed, washed up, and saw that Officer Twilight and Mori Kogoro and others were already waiting on the sofa, so he walked over and sat down next to Moriran.
Seeing Yamamoto Yoshizuru arrive, Twilight Thirteen greeted him, "Brother Yamamoto is awake, I'm really embarrassed to disturb you so early." ”
Hearing this, Yoshitsuru Yamamoto waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I was too excited yesterday, so I slept late, otherwise I would have woken up as usual." ”
"Humph!" Mao Lilan, who was sitting next to him, snorted unhappily, she was too excited yesterday, and when she heard this, she immediately thought of the reason why the other party was excited.
Glancing at his daughter, who didn't know why he was suddenly upset, Mori Kogoro said out loud, "Officer Twilight, what did you come to the office this morning for?" Is it for yesterday's events? ”
"No, yesterday's matter has been settled." Twilight Thirteen shook her head, opened the bag she had brought, and pulled out the contents and laid them flat on the table. "I'm here today for the matter of the jewel thief, so take a look at Zhuo's things."
"Jewel thief?" Hearing the name, all four of the firm's members perked up and looked carefully at what was on the table.
At the moment there are three playing cards on the table, all of them big ghosts, one of which is complete, and two of which have defects in the position of the border; A bullet, but a little dented on the surface; A photograph of a man wearing a clown mask, unable to tell if it is a man or a woman.
Seeing the things on the table, Mori Kogoro had some guesses, but still asked, "Officer Twilight, what is the situation, can you tell me?" ”
"Of course!" Twilight 13 nodded and said, "Last night, according to the method of Brother Maori and Brother Yamamoto, our police officer arranged the decoration, and finally saw the true face of the jewelry thief, that is, the person in the photo. This time, he stole a large jewel, worth more than 1.4 billion jewels. The jewel thief is not a gang, but a person, but we don't have any other information. ”
Looking at the things on the table, Conan asked curiously, "Officer Twilight, since you saw the jewel thief, why did he steal the jewels and run away from him?" ”
"Because we were ambushed nearby, when we found him, the jewels had been moved to an unknown place by him. Because of the big uproar in this incident, the Metropolitan Police Department was under a lot of pressure, so it allowed shooting at any time. Speaking of this, Twilight Thirteen pointed to the bullets and two defective playing cards on the table and said, "There was a blocker who fired a shot from more than 600 meters away, but the jewel thief seemed to notice it, threw out two pokers, and directly missed the bullet." Then he hid himself, and no matter how much we searched, we couldn't find him, and apparently he ran away. ”
"Missed the bullet?" Mori Kogoro looked at the recessed part of the bullet surface, swallowed and said, "Officer Twilight, you're not joking, are you?" How could anyone hit a sniper rifle bullet with a playing card and miss it? ”
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it." Twilight Thirteen shook her head with a wry smile.
Hearing that the jewel thief was able to use a poker card to miss a bullet, Conan was also a little big, but still asked, "Officer Twilight, that intact playing card is the one left by the jewel thief?" Does he have anything left behind besides these on the table? ”
"That was indeed left by the jewel thief." Twilight Thirteen nodded, then said with some embarrassment, "That jewel thief left a message, which is a teaser letter." ”
"A word?" "Notice?" The four of them looked at Officer Twilight in confusion, waiting for him to continue.
Seeing the appearance of the four people, Twilight Thirteen coughed dryly and said, "The original words are like this: 'I didn't expect you police officers to have smart people, things are getting more and more fun.'" The jewels I have stolen in the past half a month are enough for me to spend, and when I am chic enough, I will play with you again. Well, it's almost two months from now, you don't have to guard against me, I'll send you an announcement then! ’。 ”
"It's too arrogant!" Mori Kogoro patted the table and said.
After listening to Officer Twilight's words, Conan said thoughtfully, "Officer Twilight, just now the jewel thief said that the jewels were enough for him to spend, that is, he was going to sell the jewels. If you pay attention to someone who sells a lot of jewelry, you might be able to make some gains. ”
"Hmmm! Conan was right, this was a breakthrough, and maybe he could catch the jewel thief. Twilight Thirteen nodded, satisfied. Anyway, I have gained a lot from coming here today.
Looking at Officer Twilight's heart-moved look, Yamamoto Yoshitsuru shook his head and said with cold water: "Officer Twilight, you'd better not have too much hope, since he dares to say it, I think he must have some way to sell the stolen goods, maybe he has secretly gone abroad now." ”
Maori Kogoro nodded in agreement and said, "Yamamoto is right, if you want to catch a jewelry thief with this, where is it so easy." ”
"I know this, but even if there is only one hope, we will not give up." Officer Twilight said and looked at Mori Kogoro and Yamamoto Yoshitsuru and said, "The reason why I'm here today is because the advice of the two brothers has helped, at least letting us know that the jewel thief is a man, and his playing cards can miss bullets. I want to ask the next two brothers, but is there any way to catch the jewelry thief? ”
"Well, this" Mori Kogoro, who had no goods in his stomach, couldn't say anything for a while, so he had to think hard.
Glancing at Yamamoto Yoshitsuru who was casually next to him, Mao Lilan couldn't help glaring at him and said, "Yamamoto, my dad is thinking seriously, why don't you think about it?" ”
Listening to Mao Lilan's words, Twilight Thirteen couldn't help asking, "Brother Yamamoto, what can you do?" ”
"Nope!" Smiling at Mao Lilan, Yamamoto Yoshitsuru shook his head and said, "Where can I do anything, the reason why I don't want to is because it's not necessary." There was no clue at all, and I really couldn't think of anything other than to wait for the jewel thief to take the initiative. ”
"Alas!" Although there was some truth to this, Twilight Thirteen couldn't help but sigh.
"Officer Twilight, since the jewel thief can shoot off bullets, are you prepared to deal with him?" Conan asked, pointing to the bullet on the table.
Twilight Thirteen shook his head and said, "It's shocking to miss a bullet, but as long as he's surrounded by our officers, even if he has this ability, it's useless. As he spoke, he stood up and said, "Guys, I told you about the jewelry thief today, please don't tell it, because these things are unknown to the outside world." Also, if you think of a way, please contact the police as soon as possible. ”
After thinking about it for a while, but didn't come up with anything, Mori Kogoro stood up and said reassuringly, "Officer Twilight, don't worry, if you think of it, I will definitely inform you." ”
"Well, it's so hard to get a brother!" Twilight Thirteen nodded and left the office.
After Officer Twilight left, Mori Kogoro sat on the sofa, shook his head helplessly and said, "There are no clues here, what do you think?!" ”
"No way, just do your best." Yoshitsuru Yamamoto also shook his head helplessly, but he didn't report any hope in his heart.
In the afternoon of the same day, except for Conan, who was still thinking of a way, Mori Kogoro was already watching the horse race and leaving things behind. And Yamamoto Yoshitsuru went to Chengshi Clinic, as if he had also thrown away the things he had to do. Mao Lilan was very angry about the irresponsible behavior of these two people, but one ignored what she said, and the other couldn't even see anyone, which made her very helpless.
The next afternoon, Yoshitsuru Yamamoto was bored reading magazines in the office, while Mori Kogoro was drinking beer and watching the running horses. As for Conan and Maolilan, they went to school, and there were only two of them in the office.
"Brother Maori!" Officer Twilight's voice came from the door, and as soon as the words fell, a man walked in.
Seeing Officer Twilight arrive, Mori Kogoro couldn't help but ask, "Officer Twilight, why are you here?" While talking, don't forget to put your beer down and turn off the TV.
"It's still about the jewel thief." Twilight Thirteen sat down on the couch and looked at the two of them.
"What, has anything changed?" Yoshitsuru Yamamoto asked curiously.
"Yes, things have changed again." Twilight Thirteen nodded and said, "The jewelry thief sent an email to the major jewelry companies and the Metropolitan Police Department, saying that he was willing to sell all the jewelry to the major companies at 70% of the market price, with a total value of about 5 billion. ”
Mori Kogoro asked curiously, "Could it be that those people from the jewelry company agreed?" ”
Twilight Thirteen nodded and said, "That's right, they've already agreed, after all, it's seventy percent of the price." ”
"Officer Twilight, aren't they afraid of being targeted by the jewel thief again, and stolen again?" Yoshitsuru Yamamoto couldn't help asking.
"Of course they were scared, so they put pressure on the government to catch the jewel thieves as soon as possible and recover their losses." Twilight Thirteen said and looked at the two of them and said, "The account number sent by the jewelry thief is the anonymous account of an overseas Swiss bank, and there is no way to query the other party's information, so I want to ask the two brothers, is there a way to catch the jewelry thief?" ”
"This" Maori Kogoro muttered, not knowing what to say, he had already forgotten about it, where was there any way.
