Chapter 646 Gems and Pranks
The topic of terrorist attacks has been temporarily ended. Next, Suzuki Jikichiro is going to take everyone to visit the target of the protagonist of this event, Kaito Kid - the gem.
Take the elevator to the sky observation deck on top of the airship. There is special transparent glass above your head, so you can directly see the sky outside. It is undoubtedly the best viewing platform to enjoy the starry sky at night.
There is a platform in the center of the Tiangong Observation Deck. The gems are protected by glass covers on the display stand in the center of the platform. Ginzo Nakamori and his subordinates, dressed in suits, stand around, monitoring every move in the area.
In addition to police support, the platform is also equipped with various anti-theft mechanisms, including bulletproof glass covers, traps under the feet, electric shock devices, mechanical gloves, etc.
Suzuki Jikichiro said confidently:
"If that kid dares to come, I guarantee he will be in big trouble!"
After introducing the mechanism, the next step is to introduce the gems.
It was a thumb-knuckle-sized dark blue gem inlaid in the ring. The gem was dotted with tiny golden spots like stars, which looked like the night sky.
"So beautiful——!"
The members of the Junior Detective League leaned over the counter curiously, looking at the gems in front of them, and exclaimed in unison.
"This blue is so beautiful that it's hard to describe."
Suzuki Sonoko, who was watching closely, couldn't help but sigh. Beside her, Mao Lilan said in surprise:
“There are golden particles shining on it, just like stars!”
Suzuki Jikichiro smiled and said:
"What do you think the largest of those golden particles looks like?"
After hearing this, everyone observed more carefully for a moment, and then Yoshida Ayumi said loudly:
"It looks like a woman's face!"
"Hahaha, that's right!"
Suzuki Jikichiro laughed and explained:
"The deep blue night sky, the glittering golden stars, and the profile of a woman... This is how the large lapis lazuli gem, the Lady of the Sky, got its name."
"The ancient Roman naturalist Pliny once described her as "a fragment of the sky shining with stars."
"It is fitting to decorate this sky observatory with such a gem!"
"Eh--"
The children exclaimed again. At this moment, Suzuki Sonoko seemed to have thought of something. She smiled and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said:
"Speaking of lapis lazuli, the lapis lazuli bracelet that Ritsuka is wearing is also very beautiful, right?"
"Eh?"
Ritsuka Fujimaru didn't expect that the topic would suddenly turn to himself. Facing everyone's gazes, he scratched his cheek embarrassedly.
At the same time, everyone also saw the lapis lazuli bracelet that Fujimaru Ritsuka wore on his left wrist, which Suzuki Sonoko mentioned was "very beautiful".
Mao Lilan couldn't help but sigh:
"It's really beautiful!"
Unlike the eye-catching [Lady of the Sky], the lapis lazuli bracelet on Ritsuka Fujimaru's hand will not make people notice its existence immediately, but after noticing it, one can immediately appreciate the noble and restrained temperament that shines with brilliance, and it is very suitable for its owner.
Seeing this, even Suzuki Jikichiro, who likes to collect gems, couldn't help but nod and praise:
"Lapis lazuli and gold complement each other, it is noble and restrained, and it is a very tasteful decoration."
"Thank you."
Fujimaru Ritsuka proudly expressed his gratitude for everyone's praise, and Mashu beside him also smiled and said:
"As expected of a gift from King Gilgamesh..."
"Gilgamesh? Sir?!"
The moment she heard the name from Mashu, Suzuki Sonoko's curiosity instantly ignited. She approached Fujimaru Ritsuka and said with a teasing look on her face:
"Could it be that the guy is your boyfriend? Or a suitor?"
"Neither!"
Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka was immediately shocked and quickly explained:
"We are just ordinary good friends."
"Hey~~~ Would ordinary good friends give each other such gifts? I don't believe it! Tell me the truth, what's going on between you and him!"
“It’s true…!”
"That's true!"
Seeing this, Mashu took it upon herself to insert herself in, and while rescuing Fujimaru Ritsuka, she explained to Suzuki Sonoko with a serious face:
"Senior and Mr. Gilgamesh are not in a romantic relationship! Rather, to be precise, they are just ordinary colleagues!"
"Ah, is that so?"
Shocked by the inexplicable and astonishing aura emanating from Mashu, Suzuki Sonoko nodded hesitantly, somewhat confused about the situation.
"that……"
At the same time, Fujimaru Ritsuka weakly raised his hand and said:
"Although there is indeed no romantic relationship, isn't it a bit too distant to say that we are just ordinary colleagues?"
"But that's about it anyway, right?"
Mashu is now unstoppable.
After sensing this information, Fujimaru Ritsuka decisively changed his words:
"Well... if that's the case, it seems so..."
"It really opened my eyes. With such thorough preparation, I should be able to write a good report in the end, right?"
On the other side, Fujioka Takamichi smiled and took out cigarettes and lighters from his pocket. He was about to light a cigarette, but was stopped by a staff member beside him:
"If you want to smoke, please go to the smoking room on B deck."
"Humph."
Hearing this, he had to put away his anger somewhat unhappily, and then invited Maori Kogoro:
"Would you like to come along, Mr. Maori?"
"No,"
Maori Kogoro, who was still afraid of heights, waved his hands weakly and said:
"I'm going to go back to my room and rest."
After visiting the gems, it was still early for the action time mentioned in Kaito Kidd's announcement letter, so everyone returned to the activity area below, rested for a while and prepared to eat, and then it was time for free activities.
"——Ritsuka-sister."
On the way back, Conan finally couldn't help but find Fujimaru Ritsuka and said hesitantly:
"I want to ask about Sherlock Holmes, that..."
"……what?"
After hearing Conan's question, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly said with a smile:
"I say, do you actually believe such an outrageous lie?"
"Eh?"
"It is impossible for Holmes to lose to Moriarty, unless their names and identities were switched."
"…Although this is indeed true, it still hurts the old man a little bit, you know?"
At this time, Moriarty's voice was heard, but his tone could not conceal the smile.
He looked at the stunned Conan and smiled:
"Am I right? Just ask Ritsuka and you'll get the truth in no time."
"congratulations."
"——That's not what you said just now, okay?!"
Conan finally reacted and gritted his teeth:
"You are really kidding me, aren't you?"
"hateful……!"
The key point is that he almost believed it and was struggling there for a long time!
It is indeed the evil Moriarty, so bad!
However, Moriarty did not reflect on himself, but asked confidently:
"That's because you were thinking of some impolite questions first, right?"
"This……"
Conan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became hesitant. He didn't expect that the other party had already noticed his thoughts.
It must be said that it was quite rude to ask Moriarty about Sherlock Holmes.
This is a bit embarrassing.
