366 Is it you?
"Kidd the Thief......"
For a while, when I saw this card, it fell from the ceiling like this, and the faces of everyone present changed, and Gao Yuan looked up at the ceiling, as if he hadn't found anything, and then turned to look at the card-
"Tomorrow at midnight, among the treasures hidden by the Mitarai family, I will come again to retrieve the 'Earth Without Outline'."
Looking at the words on the card, Gao Yuan read out the words on it with a serious expression, and then his face suddenly startled, and he hurriedly said:
"Mr. Hayama, call the police immediately! Also, everyone in the villa can't leave here from now on! β
In this way, Gao Yuan made a judgment.
"Hey ......"
In this regard, seeing this card that unexpectedly appeared here, Mitarai Cloud was first surprised:
"'Among the treasures hidden'...... Could it be that the thief will find the property by midnight tomorrow! β
So, as soon as he thought of this, Mitarai Yun panicked and urged Mitarai Xiang beside him:
"Big brother, if that's the case, we can't wait any longer! What if the thief is in his hands and we haven't found the inheritance left by our father!
"Moreover, if there is also a will on that property, saying that it is given to the first discoverer to inherit, will it be difficult for us to give those properties to that thief at that time!"
But in the face of Mitarai Yun's anxious mood, Mitarai Xiang and Mitarai Zongxu, the two of them were very calm, and at the same time they both looked at Gao Yuan in unison-
"Very strange ......"
Pondering, Mitarai said.
"What a coincidence."
Mitarai Zongxu leaned back on the back of the chair, clasped his hands in front of him, and said lightly with his eyes closed.
"Indeed, what a coincidence."
Nodding silently, Gao Yuan affirmed:
"There is something about this letter, I notified Mr. Hayama as soon as I found out, and then immediately asked everyone to gather here, and there should be no chance to leak the news in the middle, so when will it be......"
"Xiang, when the thief showed up yesterday, Mr. Wise wasn't there, right?"
Just as Takato was pondering and analyzing, Mitarai Soxu suddenly said.
"Yes."
In response, Mitarai nodded and responded:
"Mr. Wise was still missing for a long time yesterday, and before the thief appeared, he used his mobile phone to call Xiaoxue."
So, after receiving such a reply, Mitarai Soxu nodded silently, opened his eyes, and looked at Takato with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through Takato's inner thoughts.
But in this regard, Gao Yuan only frowned slightly, and at the same time understood the other party's intention to say this, and then asked rhetorically:
"So, Mr. Zong Xu is suspicious of me?"
"Didn't you say that too? The timing of this teaser was too coincidental. β
There is no denial, Mitarai Zongxu replied seriously, and at the same time, his expression became serious:
"Besides, you're the only outsider here!"
"Second uncle!"
Hearing this, he understood the meaning of Mitarai Zongxu's words, and Mitarai Yukina suddenly said in surprise, as if he didn't agree with it very much, and was dissatisfied with Mitarai Zongxu's attitude.
"Second Uncle......"
At the same time, Mitarai Rui also seems to have some opinions about Mitarai Soxu saying such things at such a time.
In this regard, it seems to be aware of the change in Mitarai's attitude, Mitarai Xiang glanced at Mitarai a little strangely, but he didn't say much about it, but looked at Gao Yuan again, and focused his attention back-
"The thief is said to be a master of cross-dressing, so no one has ever seen him for what he really is, so I can't rule out the possibility ......"
Faintly, Mitarai Xiang followed Mitarai Zongxu's words and said-
That's right, now Mitarai Xiang and Mitarai Soxu, the two of them are doubting the possibility that Takato is the monster thief Kidd.
For such a situation, Gao Yuan frowned slightly, although to some extent, this teaser letter will appear here to help him, but no matter what, he is not the thief Kidd himself after all, so he can't help but look at Kei Hanada, who is also present and represents the position of Kyosuke Mitarai-
Why did he lose contact yesterday, Hanada Megumi still doesn't know?
In this regard, looking at Gao Yuan's gaze towards him, Hanada Huiwei was keenly thoughtful, and immediately understood Gao Yuan's intentions-
He wanted to help testify about his whereabouts yesterday, so as to clear his current suspicions.
For this reason, Hanada Megumi felt very unhappy with this feeling, but when he thought that Gao Yuan might also talk about his disguised identity, in this situation, Hanada Kemii still had no choice after all, so he could only respond out loud:
"That...... Actually, yesterday, Mr. Wise helped me investigate something......"
In this way, as soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone present couldn't help but look at Hanada Keiwei, among them, Mitarai Yukina's expression was slightly relieved, and Mitarai Rui's expression seemed to be quite relieved, as for Mitarai Xiang and Mitarai Soxu, for such an answer, their faces were slightly heavy.
However, since everything has been said about this, neither Mitarai Soxu nor Mitarai Sho said much about this matter, so they asked Hayama Hayato to call the police-
Sure enough, the police department that arrived at the scene was Nakamori Ginzo, who still stayed in Sapporo and did not go back.
After Ginzo Mori learned that the notice letter from the strange thief Kidd reappeared in the suburban villa of the Mitarai family, in the same way, Ginzo Nakamori first pinched the faces of everyone present hard, and after confirming that no one was disguised, after learning the specific course of the matter, he also made a serious decision-
"Well, in that case, it seems that Kidd the Strange Thief is confident that he will find the property that your father left behind. So, to be on the safe side, we have to find that place in advance and take precautions. If we do nothing and let the thief Kidd steal the gem, we may not know anything at that time, and this kind of thing will never be allowed to happen! β
So loudly, Nakamori Ginzo said, and then said to the police officers behind him:
"Everyone, immediately start a carpet search of the nearby suburbs! Be sure to find that cave! β
"Yes!"
Firmly, the police officers responded loudly, and then most of the police officers who had followed Nakamori Ginzo and others went out, ready to go out to find the location of the cave.
At the same time, after making such a deployment, Nakamori Ginzo looked at the people of the Mitarai family present, and asked with some curiosity:
However, according to the contents of the letter left by your father, the place where he hid his share of the property was in a cave not far from here. So, don't you have any idea where the cave is? β
In this regard, everyone present thought about it, and then looked at each other from time to time, but in the end they did not come to any conclusion.
So, Nakamori Ginzo only left a sentence of "If you think of something later, you should inform him immediately", and left with the rest of the police officers, and also participated in the search for the cave.
Faced with such a situation, Mitarai Xiang also seemed to feel a headache, and looked at Mitarai Soxu beside him.
Seeing this, Mitarai Zongxu thought about it, and could only say:
"Indeed, now that things have come to this point, then we still have to find a way to find that cave, and as for the follow-up questions......"
As he spoke, Mitarai Soxu looked at Hayama Hayato and asked:
"Hayama, if there may be a problem with the distribution of this property because of this matter, can you ......?"
"If so, the effects of force majeure can be considered...... But the exact situation is not clear now, and I can't guarantee anything. β
Listening to Mitarai Soxu's inquiry, Hayama Hayato probably understood what the other party meant, so he said so.
"Yes."
Hearing this, Mitarai Soxu nodded, and then said:
"In that case, let's find a way to find the cave first. However, in order to avoid problems ......"
As he spoke, Mitarai Soxu looked at Takato and asked:
"Mr. Wise, since the thief said he was going to do it at midnight tomorrow night, then before that...... There is still more than a day to go. I don't know, will you be able to find the location of that cave? β
"This ...... I can't guarantee it, but I can try. β
Hearing such a question, Gao Yuan thought for a moment and gave such an answer.
Hearing this, Mitarai Zongxu didn't say much, and Mitarai Xiang picked up at this time, and looked at the others present, and then said to Gao Yuan:
"In that case, then I will leave this matter to you. Of course, before that, this matter can be regarded as a commission, so it is better to sign a new agreement. β
As he spoke, Hayato Hayato seemed to understand what Mitarai Xiang meant, so he said:
"That's fine, I'll work out a new agreement right away."
Faced with such a situation, Gao Yuan had no objections, and no one else present expressed any opinion on it.
In this regard, looking at the attitudes of those people in charge of the Mitarai family, Takato understood that they were worried that finding the cave in advance might affect the ownership of the property, so they had to sign an agreement in advance to agree on this matter.
However, Gao Yuan is noncommittal about such an idea, after all, everything is still unknown to them as far as the clues at hand are concerned, so it is normal to take precautions in advance.
In this regard, Hayama Hayato quickly drafted an agreement and asked Takato to sign it, and tonight's party at the Mitarai family villa was over, and everyone left separately......
β¦β¦
Late at night, in the forest at the bottom of the cliff, a black figure, with a flashlight, leaned against the edge of the cliff, groping and slowly walking forward.
Then, probably feeling that I was almost gone, in a specific area, I began to search carefully-
In the end, the cave that was sealed by the iron gate was really found by the figure.
However, seeing that the door was illuminated by a flashlight in front of him, and there was no handle or key to be found in this door, and even locked from the inside, the figure couldn't help but be very surprised, and then in disbelief, he pushed the iron door in front of him hard, and after being sure that he really couldn't push the door open from the outside, the figure was a little dumbfounded-
"I really didn't expect it, it turned out to be you?"
Slightly regretful, just when the figure was a little overwhelmed by the iron gate in front of him, a sigh came from the forest behind the figure, and said this helplessly.
Hearing this, the figure was suddenly startled, turned his head in surprise, and shone the light of the flashlight behind him, looking at the person who would appear here at this time-
That's right, it's lofty.
Under the light of the flashlight, Gao Yuan, who was wearing a beige windbreaker, looked at the person in front of him with a slightly regretful expression, as if he couldn't help but be very helpless about the person who really waited for him-
"Miss Rui, it's really you."
After that, following the high line of sight, I saw the figure that appeared here, and it was actually Mitarairui!
Gao Yuan was a little surprised by such a result, but it seemed to make sense-
"You already knew this cave existed, did you? But it looks like you haven't been here in a long time. β
Muttered, Takato looked at the cave behind Mitarai and asked.
"Mr. Wise ......"
Frowning slightly, Mitarai seemed to be very puzzled, muttering the lofty title, and made a puzzled sound.
In this regard, Gao Yuan thought about it and couldn't help but say:
"Miss Rui, I have a lot of questions that need to be answered, I wonder if you can give me an answer?"
"What do you mean?"
Seeing that Gao Yuan didn't directly ask himself why he was here, Mitarai suddenly understood that meeting Gao Yuan here this time was by no means a simple way to fool the past-
Moreover, he ......
Why is it here?
He knew this place for a long time!
Thinking of this, looking at Takato's face, a conjecture made Mitarai even more convinced of that possibility-
"What was this cave used for? Also, the one of the Mitarai Lady ...... Do you say that the illegitimate child who has passed away is a man or a woman? β
With a very serious look, Gao Yuan asked this question-
Originally, he hadn't thought of the previous question, but when Black Feather Kaito entered the cave and found some anomalies, Takato began to speculate about some things.
And now, Mitarai was able to find this place so quickly, which shows ......
Things seem to be more complicated than I expected.
However, as long as you can ask more about the truth of the matter, you will be able to sort it out sooner or later.
In this regard, hearing the two questions raised by Takato, Mitarai seemed to be a little puzzled, and asked rhetorically:
"Mr. Wise, since you know this place, why do you have to ask me these two questions? Shouldn't you have known it a long time ago? β
"Huh?"
Puzzled, seeing that Mitarai was actually responding like this, it made Takato even more confused-
This kind of thing, should you have known about it a long time ago?
But,It's not written in the message of Mitarai Harukashi?
In this regard, after thinking about it, Gao Yuan still followed the original train of thought, explained and asked:
"I did think that judging from the suspicions that Chairman Sho and Mr. Yun had about the identity of that 'Mitarai Kyosuke', they were worried that he would not be able to confirm his identity even if he passed the blood test. Later, when I heard Mr. Zong Xu's words, I thought that President Xiang and Mr. Yun should have thought that Mr. 'Kyosuke Mitarai' might be the illegitimate son of Ms. Mitarai Asai......
"But then, I thought of an incident I had encountered about Miss Kyoko, and I began to guessβ
"Is it possible that it is not an illegitimate child, but an illegitimate daughter?"
