I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down, "Wait a minute, Jie Nai is also here, I will leave after I find her... tell me what you found first?"

"Put on one earphone. If a staff member stops you, I will tell you what to say." Dazai's voice was almost chaotic for a moment, and then he returned to his usual calm... But I could hear that it seemed There is a slight difference.

So you will be uneasy too?

I wanted to tease him like this to relieve the pressure, but I opened my mouth, and suddenly I didn't dare to ask.

"Now turn on the GPS and I'll show you the way."

After the chaos just now, as the people staying in the museum turned on the flashlights of their mobile phones one by one, I was not as nervous as when I was suddenly startled.

In addition, I knew that this kind of emotion would not help solve the current situation, so I tried my best to bury this anxiety.

Fortunately, Yuina Miyazaki was by my side, so I whispered her name a few times, signaling her to follow me.

"Is it Phantom Thief Kidd?" She asked me nervously holding the camera.

Although this guy looks like a dog, he is actually very timid and afraid of the dark... Sure enough, she only gave me a kind of recognition in this kind of place, ah, it turns out that this guy is also a Sakura girl.

"Not sure." I answered her evasively, "In short, go outside first, in case something happens later, it would be bad if there is a stampede without lights."

I told Dazai in the headset that I picked up my roommate, and he then directly guided us to go out, but the strange thing was that he didn't let us go out along the nearest road, based on my sense of direction Look, probably a small detour?

Because I was afraid that turning on the flashlight and talking with GPS would cause my mobile phone to run out of power at this moment, I asked Miyazaki Yuna to leave with the flashlight on.

She asked me tremblingly as she walked, "Should we stay in the hall? After all, there are still police officers watching... Now, the police officers should all go to the main exhibition hall, right?"

The dark corridor is indeed easy to make people feel discouraged, not to mention that this section is a closed corridor with no windows at all. The art installations on both sides with different poses in the dark can be called the art prize of the underworld. Dazai did not explicitly tell us to do it. The reason for going out...

But my thoughts were fast at this time. From the sentence he said directly when he was just emotionally fluctuating, it was not Kaitou Kidd, and I immediately thought that the prisoner must be someone else. In this case, I said nothing and would not choose to stay.

I dare to watch Kaitou Kidd's excitement because he is recognized as a Kaitou who will not hurt anyone. Even if there are occasional rumors of murder, it will often be exposed as a forged scene in the end.

But if it's someone else, then I can't be sure!

Especially when I was robbed in the street just a few days ago, my vigilance is full at this moment, and my thinking speed is almost as fast as that of Sherlock Holmes.

"Trust me." Although I am a little nervous at the moment, in order to calm her emotions, I have to comfort her when I know something is wrong, "It's already halfway, don't give up at this time .”

I paused for a moment, then added inducing, "It's okay, Kaitou Kidd won't hurt anyone, isn't there a precedent for him to cut off the power when he was stealing things before?"

In short, let her think that this is what Kaitou Kidd did. In this case, telling the truth is just adding trouble to herself and the other party.

"Oh, I see..."

Dazai in the headset hardly made a sound except when he was giving us directions. I could only hear his shallow breathing, which indicated that he had been paying attention to our side.

Of course I was also very nervous, otherwise I would not be able to control my wild thoughts, especially when I passed by a corner and suddenly felt a chill like being watched by someone.

It's hard to say whether this is an illusion brought about by pressure, or my intuition is telling me that someone is staring at us, and the reaction time left for me is very short. First, I don't know who the other party is, and second, I don't know the distance. When I didn't make a sound to stop me, I couldn't think of any short words to express to Dazai that there might be a problem on our side.

Under such circumstances, I directly chose to hold my breath, hoping that the telepathy with my family would be powerful enough.

"Are you not sure if there are people around?" He immediately asked me softly in the earphones, and the words seemed to be accompanied by the slight sound of paper flipping, "If he doesn't come out, leave him alone. If he calls out to you , you immediately pretend to be frightened and run out, no matter what he said."

Hearing this, I immediately forced myself not to pay attention to the corner that made my scalp tingle, and continued to move forward.

As a result, at the moment we barely walked through that corridor, a human voice suddenly sounded.

"Hey, you two—"

I swear, at that moment, I may have brought out the most superb acting skills of my life, imitating the reaction of my former high school roommate who was terribly afraid of insects when he met a flying southern cockroach the size of a fingernail, and stood still. Miyazaki Yuna jumped forward like flowing water.

Good guy, when I later recalled the distance I had jumped forward at this moment, I couldn't help sighing that if I had this level a few years ago, I might have entered the national team of standing long jump.

"Ghost!!!" When the sound came out, I estimated that I had already run three or four meters forward, and then I rushed out at the speed of a [-]-meter sprint without stopping until I kicked Opening the glass gate of the museum, under the terrified eyes of the police officers outside, one of them didn't stop and almost knocked him into the air.

I only had time to look back now, and I saw that Miyazaki Yuna, who had run the entire distance with the camera in her arms, was already lying on the ground panting for breath. Originally, I wanted her to find a place to put this thing down. But then I realized that we didn't have any self-defense props in our hands. Using this thing to swing people should have the same effect as a stainless steel folding stool, so she continued to carry it.

As for the expensive stuff, no matter how expensive it is, it is not as important as your life!

At this moment, there was such an insignificant guilt in my heart. After explaining the situation to the police officer, I took the camera from her hand and gave it to another classmate who was watching from the outside, so that he could The first-hand information is a reward, let him help look at this thing.

I myself went to a nearby vending machine to buy two bottles of water, pulled the tabs, and handed them to Yuina Miyazaki, who was sitting on a bench by the roadside, almost sticking out her tongue to breathe.

When I just took a sip of water and wanted to say something to her, I suddenly thought that when I yelled just now, it seemed that I might have...forgot to cover my earphones.

"Dazai?" I held the earphone cable with some hesitation, looked at the call on the phone screen and called him.

"I'm here." He paused, then answered me slowly, "Is your leg okay?"

It doesn't seem to be affected, which is great...

It was only after he said this that I remembered my poor leg injury. After being stiff for a while, I sat beside my roommate in a vicissitudes of life.

"I think I have to pay a visit to the temple in two days. Do you know anything more effective..."

"Hmm, Sensoji Temple?"

"I'll go with you too! Wow, it's scary!"

The synchronous sound from the earphones and the earphones made me silent for a while. I looked at Miyazaki Yuna who had regained her spirits with loving eyes, and covered the earphones with my hand, "Hey, let's go with you next time." .”

"??" She watched my movements, and only now did she realize who I was speaking to.

After being eerily quiet for a while, she said to me hesitantly, "I know a few good theme hotels, that's the one, that one, I can—"

"You can't!!" If I hadn't had to cover the earphones with my hands, I would have pinched her by now, "Did you forget the group activities of your class? If you run away, your squad leader will come after me with a knife!!"

After this farce, both of us finally relaxed a little while we couldn't laugh or cry, and at the same time stared in the direction of the art museum in a daze.

The dark building at night looks completely different from the magnificent scene during the day. Just looking at the quiet darkness from a distance makes people feel hairy.

I let go of the hand that was covering the earphone, "Can you tell me what's going on now?"

"It should be that the curator teamed up with a few employees to secretly change the oil paintings in the exhibition hall. In the name of the strange thief Kidd, he planned to use a trick." He slowed down his speech, as if he was thinking about it while explaining to me. , "The photo you took, I have done a little technical processing now, and it can be seen that there is something wrong with the paint in those paintings, and it should have been replaced by someone."

"I also checked the asset status of the curator, and found that he is already heavily in debt, and it is probably desperate to do this, so I think he should have other preparations."

"Like?"

Dazai laughed without the slightest emotion, "Killed himself?"

I was a little hairy by his tone, and couldn't help raising objections, "But, Japan also has a gun ban law?"

"But it is not completely prohibited. Through some relatively secret channels, even some replaced parts and materials can be purchased on the market. As long as there are materials and suitable machine tools, the difficulty of hand-made is actually not very great."

What's your guy's definition of 'not too difficult'? !

As if he had noticed my strong desire to complain, Dazai added, "You can ask the people in the engineering department, they should know how to do it, of course, there is still a difference between being able to do something and actually doing it Yes... However, the curator should have contacted overseas buyers long ago, in that case the degree of freedom will be much higher, and standard ones are definitely more threatening than handmade ones."

"Aren't the people in there very dangerous?" I realized something was wrong after a while, and started to worry, "I still have friends in there..."

"It doesn't matter, they won't do that until the moment their true colors are revealed." Dazai said softly, "I don't think they will have that chance either."

"..." I pondered for a while, "Then why are you so eager to let me run early?"

"...I'm very happy that you can trust me so much, Xiaoqi." Dazai seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and his tone was quite obviously light, "But, if you are still inside, I'm afraid I won't be able to calm down , think in a normal way."

How should I put it, this answer... really moved me...
