age is not a problem

"Hey, Seijuro, you are actually very happy to see your friends coming." Sonoko directly stepped forward to poke Akashi's psychological activities.

"Miss Sonoko..." Akashi has never been able to cope with his cousin who has always been carefree.

...or he has never been able to get along with people with unrestrained personalities. For example, if there must be someone in the team who he can't handle, it must be Qingfeng.

"Child from the Akashi family, long time no see, he's grown up." Suzuki Jirokichi, who had been arguing with Nakamori Ginzo just now, noticed Akashi, and came over and said.

Akashi also nodded and greeted Suzuki Jirokichi politely.

"Don't worry, Seijuro, no one can take that gem away today." At this time, Suzuki's wife, Tomoko Suzuki, came over. Tomoko Suzuki, who had lost to Kidd in the "Dark Star" incident, obviously wanted it today. Bring it back.

"Mom, you're here too?" Sonoko was a little surprised, every time when Suzuki Jialiang jewelry and Kidd confronted each other, usually only Uncle Jirokichi was dispatched.

"Of course, after all, the current owner of this gem is me." Tomoko Suzuki said to her daughter, and then looked at her nephew, "Seijuro, after Kidd loses tonight, you take this gem with you." Let’s go, it’s time to return the property to its original owner.”

"No, that was a gift from my mother to your aunt." Akashi shook his head to express his refusal.

Suzuki Tomoko seemed to want to say something, but hesitated to speak, and finally just sighed: "Forget it, there are some things... I will tell you after tonight's things are over."

On the side, Conan quietly tugged Qingmei's sleeve, pulled her aside, and wanted to talk to her.

"Asakawa, what is your purpose tonight?" Conan's face became serious.

After getting along for so long, he also knew Qingmei's personality more or less. He knew that she would rather stay away from such troublesome things than use her brain to explore the truth, especially unwilling to show her face in front of the police. The thing about Kaitou Kidd is not very interesting.At this time, nestling on the sofa at home and watching Oguri Shun's evening TV series enter the realm of selflessness, which is in line with her personality.

Because she wanted to whisper something, Qingmei also squatted down and moved in front of Conan, and looked at Conan's deep and full eyes for three seconds, and then said:

"If I say, my purpose tonight...is to snatch that ruby ​​before Kidd, ah, so to speak, I and Kidd have the same purpose tonight, then, you want Stop me, detective?"

When he said this, there was a nasty smile on the corner of his mouth.

Conan froze for a moment, and blurted out: "Isn't that Akashi Seijuro your friend? You also saw how much he cared about that gem, which was his mother's relic!"

"So... so what?" Qingmei curled her lips, her vicious intentions remained undiminished, "Oh, I'm a little excited when I think that I might have to fight against you tonight, Big Boss Conan."

"Are you telling the truth?" Conan lowered his voice, but his small body exuded an intimidating aura that was hard to ignore.

Qingmei stood up, and said lightly with a nonchalant expression: "Who knows..."

at this time--

"Report! Report to Consultant Suzuki! Suddenly found this in the bathroom!" At this moment, a man in the uniform of an art gallery staff ran over and handed over the things in his hand in a panic.

It was a set of uniforms for the male staff of the art museum. Looking at the folds on it, it was obvious that they had just been worn.

Everyone immediately gathered around.

"It must be Kidd! He has already pretended to be a staff member and sneaked in!" Suzuki Jiroji was so angry that he crumpled up the clothes. He had obviously checked every staff member so carefully!

Nakamori Ginzo was also quite angry: "That's why I said before that the police must be deployed! How can you only rely on your own internal staff to prevent that cunning guy!"

Suzuki Jirokichi immediately said to everyone present: "Now, at least make sure that Kidd won't get in with us! Everyone in a team of two, hold each other's hand and don't let go! Don't let Kidd sneak into us!" Opportunity among them!"

Conan, however, finds it difficult to understand Kidd's actions... If Kidd has really sneaked into the art gallery, at least so far, he has not been exposed and is completely safe. When is it time to suddenly let go of your disguise?Even if it's because I think I've found someone better to pretend to be, it's really too...

While thinking about it, his hand was already held by someone, and Qingmei held his hand directly without any explanation.

"Why, aren't we standing on opposite sides tonight? Why are you still on the same team as me?" Conan's eyes narrowed into a half-moon shape.

Qingmei bent down to Conan's ear, and said with a smile: "Didn't that Mr. Suzuki say that there are five rubies in the art gallery tonight, four of which are fakes... I don't want to waste my brain cells to play with it." This kind of treasure appraising game, anyway, Conan, you will definitely be able to deduce which gem is the real one in the end, I just follow you~ I like this kind of things that get something for nothing~"

Conan: "..."

the other side--

"Ah~ Although I really want to hold hands with my handsome younger brother, but I will not delay you and your group of children to exchange feelings~ I'll stay with my mother~" Sonoko walked over and pulled her mother up. hand.

Akashi didn't say much, and walked over to hold Murasakihara's hand.

Midorima was in the same group as Kise, but after seeing the situation of the other group, he still couldn't help expressing his opinion: "Aomine, Kuroko, is there really no problem with the two of you?"

"Eh? Is there a problem? Aren't Xiao Qingfeng and Xiao Heizi always partners?" Huang Lai didn't realize it for a while.

Qingmei looked at the blue and black stalls over there... Well, if Kidd comes and destroys the circuit system or something, and the whole art gallery is in darkness, it will probably be difficult to find these two people , sunspots with negligible presence and Qingfeng blending into the background color.

As for Nakamori Ginzo and Suzuki Jirokichi who are looking at each other and holding hands... Ah, you two, do your hands hurt?

Just when everyone had just entered the alert mode, the crowd on the third floor and the third floor outside the museum suddenly started making noises!The high-pitched voices of the girls are particularly prominent, and the sentence from afar——

"Diesaleen! Agishtstart!"

……

"Kurihara?! Kurihara?!" On the rooftop of the opposite building, Tsunayoshi called the headset several times, but there was no response there. He even suspected that the other party had already cut off the headset.

In the last conversation just now, the sentence "The defense inside is very strict, I can't contact you with boss for the time being"...then completely cut off contact with him.

Gangji folded his hands and fingers, resting on his chin, and fell into deep thought.

Ah Gang, since you already have doubts about him, you shouldn't keep him by your side. I'm afraid you'll have to stay in Japan for a long time this time, so it's better to have less contact with him.

Li Baoen, I know, but if I deliberately avoid him, it will make the elders suspect that I already know that Osuke Kurihara is from their side.Rather than letting them send another person lurking in the dark, it is better to keep him in the light like this.

Heh, I've grown up... However, I didn't expect those old guys to cultivate their influence directly among our personnel.

Kurihara-kun and I have known each other for many years. I know exactly what kind of person he is... There is no right or wrong, and there is no absolute good or bad. We just stand on different positions. .At least he is a person, and I am quite happy to get along with him, that's enough.

Although he already knew Kurihara's actual position, he didn't dislike Kurihara. So far, Kurihara has only passed on all his activities in Japan to the elders of the family, and has not done any real harm. to his business.

And tonight, Kurihara knew the real purpose of his coming here, and the specific action plan had been discussed with each other in advance, but now... Kurihara, what are you doing?

While thinking about it, just when a possible conjecture was about to emerge in his mind... a white shadow just flew over from the sky...

……

"That kind of words, that voice, that voice is... Phantom Thief Kidd!" After hearing Kidd's iconic high-profile opening remarks outside, Suzuki Jirokichi was instantly stunned.

What's going on, hasn't Kidd already sneaked into the museum?

Qingmei also heard that voice, but when the other party said "agishtstart!", she suddenly froze.

With her superb sound recognition ability and excellent memory, she quickly remembered...the magic boy with "Kudo Shin's face" that she met on the street corner last week!

However, since she came to Japan, she suddenly felt that things like voice... It's hard to say.

For example, this voice... also sounds very similar to Er Gouzi in "Inuyasha"!

At this moment... There was a sound of "bang!", and there was a sudden explosion outside, and when everyone was startled...

"Bang!" There was another sound, but this time it was inside the hall!The circuit system in the art gallery was destroyed by someone, and the entire gallery was pitch black!

Accompanied by the darkness, there were multiple alarms in the hall.

...This, this, is Kidd inside or outside the hall!

Suzuki Jiroji immediately ordered other staff in the museum who may have been used by Kidd to stay where they are, and then greeted the people around him who had verified their identities at the moment: "Just go to the various places in groups of two now. Check where the sirens go off!"

……

In such darkness, Conan and Kiyomi, who were holding hands originally, shook off each other's hand in a tacit understanding.

After the two looked at each other in surprise, they ran in different directions.

Then, at different places in the museum, the two said something similar...

……

Conan: "Are you... really Suzuki Sonoko?"

……

Kiyomi: "Are you... really Akashi Seijuro?"

……
