Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Hearing Suzuki Sonoko say this, Joyce's face was full of surprise and admiration, "I didn't expect that the beautiful Miss Maori is also a karate master!"

The tone of his voice had a certain romanticism that is unique to the French, or rather, a rhythm that sounded like he was singing. "Since it is Miss Maori's request, I will naturally not refuse. I will trouble Miss Maori again later."

Most of the people present have fought against Kaito Kid quite a few times, and everyone knows one thing: Kaito Kid's target has always been gems, and he will not harm innocent people. So even Maori Ran's father, Kogoro Maori, is only worried about his daughter because he is worried that the rooftop is too high, not because he is worried that his daughter will be hurt in other ways.

Joyce looked at Maori Kogoro again, "As for the entrance to the downstairs, I will have to ask Mr. Maori for help. There are only two entrances to the downstairs on the 16th floor. One is the elevator you just took, and the other is the emergency passage. The emergency passage is also the entrance to the rooftop, so I will trouble Mr. Maori to find the location of the elevator."

The group followed Joyce's gaze and looked towards the emergency exit. After confirming that there were only two entrances and exits, Conan glanced at the large French windows around him and said, "Kid can also leave through these French windows, right?"

It was Suzuki Jirokichi who spoke this time. "Conan, you don't know this. Joyce's family is from a special materials business. The floor-to-ceiling windows you see now are not ordinary glass. Even if Kidd wants to break these windows, it will take some time, and this time is enough for us to catch him."

Matsuda Jinpei, who had already read the professional test report, also nodded. The glass used in these French windows is not just bulletproof. Mr. Joyce is not as simple as he looks. At least if the glass can really protect Kidd today, then after today, Mr. Joyce can be regarded as opening up the sales market in Japan.

This is a publicity for Kidd. And basically, with the reputation of Kaito Kidd, this can be regarded as a world-class advertising campaign. Even if the gems were really stolen by Kaito Kidd, I guess this gentleman would not feel too bad, not to mention that the gems stolen by Kaito Kidd will be returned to the owner later.

A sure-profit trade.

Toru Amuro and Jinpei Matsuda made the same comment in their minds at the same time.

The people who were used to listening to Suzuki Jirokichi introduce the mechanism had never heard Mr. Joyce introduce the mechanism of the gem display stand, and the children were really curious.

Yoshida Ayumi looked at Joyce, "Brother Joyce, does the gem have some powerful mechanism?"

Joyce nodded. "There is indeed a mechanism, but it's a secret!"

He bent down slightly and put his index finger to his lips, and winked at Ayumi, "I'm sorry, young lady, I can't tell you. This is a secret that only Officer Matsuda and I know."

Hearing this, Ayumi Yoshida also blinked.

Joyce stood up straight and said to everyone with a smile, "This is Mr. Suzuki's suggestion. He said that Kaito Kidd always sneaks in in advance and uses a bug or disguises himself as someone else to quietly find out how to open the mechanism protecting the gem. So I'm sorry that I can't tell you this time."

Suzuki Jirokichi snorted proudly beside him, "Humph, this was originally my plan after I bought this gem. This time I will lend it to you, Joyce."

Seeing him like this, everyone looked at the consultant who loved to compete with Kidd the most with a kind smile.

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya quietly asked Suzuki Sonoko, "Sister Sonoko, doesn't Uncle Suzuki always like to spend a lot of money to bid for the gems to compete with Kidd? How did Brother Joyce succeed in bidding for the gems this time?"

Mitsuhiko had also done his homework, and he had found some information related to the gem auction, or in other words, when the media reported on the gems that Kidd had set his sights on this time, they would mention something related to the auction.

Hearing this, Suzuki Sonoko smiled and replied, "Mr. Joyce bought this gem to give to his elders, so Uncle Jiroji gave it to him."

Although she consciously lowered her voice, there were not many people around, and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya's voice was not too low when he asked questions, so everyone heard their conversation.

Joyce also smiled and said, "Yes, I still have to thank Mr. Suzuki for letting me buy it. Otherwise, I don't think I would have been able to buy this gemstone to give to my grandmother."

He was sincerely grateful to Jiro Suzuki. After all, when he was planning to enter the Japanese market, he had inquired about the habits of these Japanese chaebols. In addition, it was basically known that Jiro Suzuki was very generous every time he auctioned gems. Even if he didn't deliberately inquire, he knew this gentleman's habits.

Therefore, it was thanks to the other party’s willingness that I was able to buy this gemstone with a good meaning at the same auction.

Suzuki Jirokichi laughed. He bid for gems mostly to compete with Kidd, but he was a consultant to the Suzuki Group after all, and they were used to the give and take in the business circle, and it was a tacit understanding among everyone.

Although it was a pity this time, to be honest, he didn't think Joyce would be able to catch Kaito Kid this time. And from his observation, Joyce himself thought so too. He made such a big fuss just to advertise for the company. Suzuki Jirokichi had done this before, and more than once.
