Conan, My Neighbor Kurosawa Jin

Daisuke Aoki shook his head and said seriously.

"wrong."

"What's wrong?" Dr. Ali felt a little strange. There are so many things collected here. Isn't it normal to encounter a thief?

What's wrong?

"Nothing is right. This is the collection room of the bottles and jars we saw today. Although the collection here is worth some money, it will not exceed 10 yen. It is not worth it to rob it.

Things in other collection rooms are far more expensive than here, and there is no need for them to be stolen here. If someone really likes the things here, I will often give one or two pieces away, or sell them at low prices.

And just like A Li said, the really valuable things have been put away by me a long time ago, so how could they be left out openly. The ones collected here are not of high value, but I like them better, or they have some value, but are relatively large and inconvenient to carry.

Those that are truly worth tens of millions are placed in special safes and cannot be accessed by anyone. So I am not afraid of thieves here at all, because there is nothing to steal.

Now someone comes to steal something from me, which is obviously abnormal. "Daisuke Aoki pointed to several collection rooms.

"This..." Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

What Daisuke Aoki said makes sense. Most of the things in these collection rooms are novel, beautiful, and large. But in terms of value, there may be historical value and research value, but in fact the value is not high, it is just that the number is relatively large.

But even though the amount is relatively large, if it is stolen, it is impossible to get much. A million at a time is already overwhelming. Although it is a lot of money, with the ability to steal these, it will definitely be more convenient and more valuable to steal other things.

"Mr. Aoki, is there anything special in that room?" Edogawa Conan thought for a moment, looked at the door in front of him, and recalled in his mind the collections he had seen this afternoon.

"No, they are all bottles and jars I collected. There are no celebrities in them. They were all used by people in the past to hold things. I only kept them because the patterns looked better or had special meanings. "Yes." Daisuke Aoki shook his head without thinking, joking, there is nothing valuable among his bottles and jars.

Even if there really is one and he doesn't recognize it, if someone wants to, they can talk to him directly and he will definitely not refuse.

After all, these bottles and cans are not something he particularly loves to put down.

"What about the lid? Isn't it said that it might be very expensive?" Haihara Ai asked.

"Mr. Aoki, this room is filled with ceramics. Why is that lid also placed here? If I remember correctly, that lid is made of metal!" A light flashed in Conan's mind, and he suddenly realized something.

"Although we think that lid is quite valuable, we can't actually confirm its value. Besides, I have never told anyone else except A Li, and no one knows that I put it in this collection room. .”

Daisuke Aoki shook his head, first answered Haibara Ai's question, and then looked at Conan.

"The things in this collection room are indeed all ceramics. The reason why I put the lid here is because I didn't understand for a while what was going on with that lid?

Among all the collection rooms, only this one is the most frequently used, so I conveniently put it here when I was researching it, intending to put it back after a clear investigation.

Children, do you mean it’s because of the lid? "

"I think it's possible. After all, there is only this lid, which looks very mysterious." Conan nodded. If the thief's target is really this collection room, then the most likely thing is the lid of unknown value.

But since neither Mr. Aoki nor Dr. Agasa said anything, how did the other party know that Mr. Aoki had a lid on his hand and came to steal it secretly at night?

Based on Mr. Aoki's personality, if the other party wants, he can pretend to be a guest and come to visit. Mr. Aoki should not refuse. As long as he pretended to be particularly passionate, it was possible for Mr. Aoki to give away the lid, but why didn't the other party do so?

Imaguchi Koshin stood aside and listened to them talking, recalling the appearance of the lid in his mind, and spreading his thoughts. Suddenly, Imaguchi Koshin's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to say something.

"I……"

"Mr. Aoki, if someone wanted one of your collections, under what circumstances would you not hand it over to them?" Conan suddenly spoke, blocking what Imaguchi had not said, and Imaguchi closed his mouth. Mouth.

"There are two situations. The first is that I have just received this collection and haven't seen enough or haven't studied it clearly yet. At this time, I will reject the other party, or discuss with the other party, and then hand it over to the other party after I have finished studying it.

Second, after I finished researching this collection, I found that this collection is quite special and needs to be handed over to a specific department or special person. If someone wants it at this time, I won't give it to them. "

Aoki took a deep look, and the little boy wearing glasses in front of him stretched out two fingers.

"Conan, do you suspect that someone wanted it but couldn't get it from Aoki, so you planned to steal it?" Dr. Agasa asked, then looked at Daisuke Aoki and asked him if this was the case.

Daisuke Aoki shook his head.

"This cover is a little weird, so I haven't taken it out before, and no one has ever asked me about it." The reason why Imaguchi Kokoro and the others were given a look this time was because Dr. Agasa was with them.

Otherwise, he planned to lock the lid if his research failed to understand it. So there is no situation where he likes but doesn't want to.

"Sister Imaguchi, what did you want to say just now?" Haihara Ai turned to look at Imaguchi's heart and spoke suddenly.

It attracted everyone's attention at once, and everyone saw Imaguchi's heart standing in the corner.

"I always felt that the pattern on the bag was familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.

Just after listening to what Mr. Aoki and Conan said, I suddenly remembered a book I had seen before, which introduced many special patterns of various countries in ancient times.

The pattern on the lid is very similar to one I have seen before, from ancient Egypt. "Imikou looked at everyone in his heart, organized his words, and finally expressed his guess.

Daisuke Aoki and Dr. Agasa both stared fiercely at Imaguchi's heart, wanting to know whether what he said was true or nonsense.

Ancient Egypt, that was thousands of years ago. If the lid really dates from that time, it would not be as simple as tens of millions of yen.

"You can try to look up the drawings of ancient Egypt to see if there are any similar ones. I remember the book I read before was from several years ago. It introduced the drawings of some items from various countries. You can Let's check this out." Imaguchi is not sure what the name of the previous book is, so he can only provide some general clues.

"If it is really from ancient Egypt, then it is normal for people to spy on it. But how did the other party know that Aoki, you have this lid?" Dr. Ali nodded, but he was still a little confused.

Daisuke Aoki is a collection expert. Although he is not a professional history expert, he is still very powerful. He did not recognize what happened to the lid.

Although Dr. Ali himself is not an expert in history, he has conducted many investigations, but no corresponding clues have been found.

The two of them together, even if they can't keep up with historical experts, can be said to be very powerful. Even so, they still can't confirm or even recognize the specific time of the lid.

So is it really possible for someone else to know the exact condition of the lid just by looking at it?

If it can really be done, there is no need to steal things. If you directly reveal your identity and come to the door, Daisuke Aoki will definitely treat him very politely.

Dr. Agasa and Daisuke Aoki went to investigate the information based on the clues given by Imaguchi.

The remaining three people sat in the hall and did not leave.

Imaguchi was already a little sleepy, but now he was even less sleepy, so he simply poured a cup of coffee and sat on the sofa to drink it.

Edogawa Conan lowered his head and thought at this time. He always felt that he had left something behind, but he did not remember it for a while.

Haihara Ai simply couldn't sleep, and the sound of their back and forth movements made her unable to fall asleep, so she simply sat in the living room with a book and started reading.

"Imaguchi-sister, you seemed hesitant just now. Is there something you didn't say?" Edogawa Conan looked at Imaguchi's heart and suddenly asked.

He always felt that he hadn't finished what he just said, and seemed to be hiding something.

"Just a little bit!" Imaguchi gestured with his fingers. He really only said a little bit.

"What?" Edogawa Conan and Haibara Ai looked at Imaguchi at the same time, wondering what he was hiding.

"I was more interested in funeral culture at the time, so the things described in the book I read were all about various burial objects." In fact, Imaguchi was more interested in tomb robbing cultural relics at the time, so he specifically searched for them. Read an old book.

The book described the patterns of burial objects in various places, their meanings, etc. Later, after Imaguchi read the book, he casually put it in the box.

So many years have passed, and Imaguchi is not sure whether he can still find the book. After all, many books have been lost or damaged due to accidents or moving, etc. over the years.

Of course, it is very possible that the book is gone. After all, the book was already very old when he bought it. After so many years, it has not been specially kept. Even if it has not been lost, it has probably been chewed or something. .

"Burial objects? You mean that plate?" Conan's eyes lit up, and all the clues in his mind suddenly connected together.

"Although it has been so long, most people don't like to collect funerary objects. I'm afraid that if I say it out, I will end up making a mistake and make Mr. Aoki unhappy." Even though the price is very high, most people don't like the things that come out of the tomb. Still a little disgusted.

"I understand." Edogawa Conan stood up and ran into the room, obviously looking for Dr. Agasa and the others.

Imagochi was startled by his surprise. He turned around and looked at each other with Haihara Ai. Both of them were a little confused about what he was going to do.

Looking at Conan who suddenly ran in, Dr. Ali and the others did some work. They didn't know why he suddenly ran in.

"Doctor, Mr. Aoki, I know what's going on!" Edogawa Conan ran in and sat down next to the computer. He snatched the computer from Dr. Agasa's hand, then checked it, and explained while checking it back.

"Sister Imaguchi just told me that the plate was probably a funerary object from ancient Egypt. If this is true, then I suspect that the two people who stole the things came here for this plate, and they are not thieves. But grave robbers.”

Edogawa Conan made a few strokes on the computer, and recent news appeared on the computer screen, as well as news from more than ten years ago, all about ancient Egyptian tombs.

He entered a specific adjective, and sure enough he found a black and white photo. The pattern of the jar in the photo was obviously the same type as the lid pattern collected by Daisuke Aoki. He could tell at a glance that it appeared in the same place.

Dr. Agasa and Daisuke Aoki looked at the pictures on the screen. They were both surprised. They didn't expect Conan to be found so quickly, and they didn't expect that the cover was actually a burial object!

Conan then looked at the searched tomb robbing information and quickly found the target, news about the theft of an Arabian tomb.

Looking at what was on the screen, the three people in the room became serious. It seems that the person who stole the thing was probably a tomb robber, but why did the lid fall on the market and was bought by Daisuke Aoki, and why did they come to steal it now?

Although I didn't understand why, seeing the three of them muttering for a while, they obviously thought of a solution.

Imaguchi Xin sat outside for a while, and when he saw Haihara Ai yawning a little, he asked her to go back to her room to rest. Then he sat for a while and then returned to the room.

When the children woke up the next day, everything had already returned to normal. They were just a little confused as to why everyone else was staying in bed.

After riding his motorcycle home, Imaguchi opened the door and saw the note left by Gin on the table.

It has a phone number and an address written on it.

After Imaguchi read the note over and over again, he put it away and stuck it in his book.

……

At night, two dark figures sneaked into the collection room quietly. This time their movements were very gentle, and they even used a shield, so they did not wake anyone up.

The two of them walked into the room and didn't look at the various porcelains. Instead, they walked straight towards the strange lid. One of them picked up the lid and fumbled around carefully, then nodded.

When he raised his head to confirm with his companions, the originally dark room suddenly lit up.

There were many people at the door, not only Daisuke Aoki, the owner of the collection, Dr. Agasa, Conan Edogawa, and the others, but also a whole circle of police officers.

The two people's expressions instantly became ugly. They didn't know how they were discovered, and the other party also called the police and sent so many police officers to arrest them.

"Don't move, raise your hands and put down the things in your hands!" Officer Megu said in a deep voice as he looked at the two tomb robbers in front of him.

"You guys, we just want to steal things, it's not like this!" One of the tomb robbers' expression changed, and then he took the initiative to speak.

"Stealing, you are indeed stealing, but are you just thieves?" Edogawa Conan sarcastically looked at them calmly.

"What do you mean?" The two tomb robbers asked him, not wanting to believe that his identity would be revealed.

"You got this thing by robbing the tomb. If my guess is correct, it should be one of the funerary objects in the cemetery. You looked at the cover as ordinary and didn't know what it was, so you later took it away. Sold.

After being bought by Mr. Aoki, you later realized that it was special and knew that it was a funerary object from ancient Egypt, so you decided to take it back, re-price it, and sell it at a high price.

You know Mr. Aoki's habits through inquiring, and you know that although he will sell his collection to others or even give it away, the premise is that he will research the collection thoroughly and investigate all the circumstances.

You are afraid that he will investigate the true condition of this lid and be unwilling to sell it, so you plan to steal it. Am I right? "Edogawa Conan said all this clearly, and the faces of the two tomb robbers became more and more ugly, and finally there was no blood on their faces.

What Edogawa Conan said was very close to the real situation, and with the police around them, the two of them had no choice but to tell the truth.

The actual situation was very close to Conan's guess. In fact, the tomb they robbed was not from ancient Egypt, and they did not have the ability. If there was, it would be impossible to come here and steal something and get caught.

They arrived at an older Arab tomb, and they got a lot of funerary objects from the tomb, but most of them were porcelain, with some gold and silver.

This lid is together with the large tank below it, but the tank is relatively large and it is inconvenient for them to take it, so they take the lid away first. After all, the lid can be sold for money.

Later, while moving things, they set up a stall to sell things, and the lid was one of them.

Because there was nothing special about it, it was sold at a very low price.

But later when they got the jar back, the coating on it was accidentally removed due to an accident, and they discovered that the jar they thought was a copper jar was actually made of gold. Gold, the entire jar was made of gold.

Only then did they pay more attention. If it was just gold, they wouldn't come to steal it.

After all, the money they made at one time was not small. Although they lost some money, the cylinder head was not too big, so it was within the acceptable range.

But later, some experienced tomb robbers invited the master to take a look and found out that the vat was from ancient Egypt. Not only was the gold valuable, but there was also a special map on the vat, and other gold products could be found based on the map.

There happened to be a missing piece of the map, which happened to be on the cylinder cover. They came here to steal the cover and study the complete map.

As a result, they unexpectedly discovered that he was not good at studying.

"Ancient Egyptian tombs, gold products?" Daisuke Aoki nodded clearly, that's it.

But is what they say true? Is there really a golden tomb?

And the thing that I had been looking at, which I couldn’t tell whether it was a lid or a plate, was actually made of gold? And neither he nor A Li noticed it.

"How do you know there must be a golden tomb? Maybe I just lied to you." Dr. Ali looked at them doubtfully. Are there any rumors about golden tombs? He has never heard of it!

"Because the lid and the jar are made of gold, and we also found the inscription left by the other party, which mentioned the golden tomb and other conditions of the golden tomb, so we think it is! And we have heard similar rumors before , We have investigated some information before, and it shows that it is very possible." One of the tomb robbers didn't know how to explain it, but his intuition told him that it was true, and he stubbornly believed that there must be a golden tomb in the world.

Seeing that the two of them had nothing to say, Dr. A Li and the others had finished asking. Officer Megure nodded to Dr. A Li and the others, and then left with these tomb robbers.

"I didn't expect this was the problem. I actually bought a real one!" Daisuke Aoki smiled bitterly for a moment. He didn't know whether he was lucky or not. If he was lucky, how could he encounter such a thing? Luck Otherwise, how could it be possible to buy a real ancient Egyptian cultural relic by mistake.

"This is your luck too!" Dr. Ali patted him on the back. Today's events really made him unsure of what to say.

But in the end, the final result was good. Aoki got a real antique, and it was also a legendary ancient Egyptian artifact.

"Forget it, I hope I can be safe in the future, and I'll be satisfied!" Daisuke Aoki shook his head helplessly. This time it's something serious, I really don't know what to say!

Dr. A Li could only pat his shoulder to comfort his good friend, and could only say that time is the same as fate.

But the problem here was solved, and it was time for them to go back. It was already getting a little bright.

They discussed it the night before yesterday and decided that they could not be so passive and wanted to take the initiative. They came together and thought of many ways.

In the end, we decided to catch the turtle in the urn and notified the police in advance. When the tomb robbers came to steal the lid again, they would send a signal and block the thief in the room. This was the plan tonight.

Because the young detective team were relatively young, they did not tell Ayumi and others about the plan. After sending them back, they just said that they had something to go out and walked around outside. He drove back to this place with Haibara Ai, Conan and the others to prepare for the evening plan.

They pretended to be asleep in advance, making the tomb robbers think that no one was in the room and that the servants were all asleep.

Until the two tomb robbers started picking the lock...
